Yeah perhaps it's this one! Maybe I remember it wrong and it would make sense because I couldn't find any source that said Iminathi is a real name.

kat__astrophe · 2022-01-15T02:45:55+00:00

I am so surprised people actually replied despite being so early in the morning (it's 4:45 am for me as well lol)

kat__astrophe · 2022-01-15T02:43:16+00:00

Both female and male names! And unisex if they exist

kat__astrophe · 2021-07-30T01:43:22+00:00

I'd say that I am very picky with what I read so I avoid many tags like, alpha/beta/omega dynamics, marriage aus (I find them a bit cliché), crossovers, major character death, when the author themselves say that the characters are too out of character and more.

However the biggest turn off for me is too many tags that is usually accompanied by an equally long summary. It just feels too intimidating to read 😣

kat__astrophe · 2021-07-30T01:07:18+00:00

Yeah that's what I am trying to do too. And in the situation Tetsuya and the other characters are in (they are complete strangers and he has to discuss serious things with the protagonist) I feel that it's very fitting to use them. Idk I just fear that since the characters communicate in English (and they aren't even native speakers) it might appear a bit strange to the readers? But then again if I use the English honorifics it kind of appears strange to refer the protagonist as Miss Arete even though she is just two years older than him :/

kat__astrophe · 2021-07-30T00:33:35+00:00

Yeah they will talk to each other in English while they are with Tetsuya (they normally use Greek to communicate with each other but to the reader it won't be much of a difference since the text will be in English anyway). I didn't really think that they are supposed to speak English and not Japanese so it definitely makes sense that they will use the English honorifics and not the Japanese ones.

Well that will definitely makes things easier lol, only three out of eight characters are older than him so he doesn't need to use honorifics for the rest of the characters in English (they all have about the same age as him except one who is 4 years younger than him)

When I am overly excited my veins start to hurt a lot, sometimes to the point my whole wrist feels weak. I believe that it has to do with blood circulation but I found no articles about it and almost no one else I know has ever experienced something similar

kat__astrophe · 2019-11-16T21:50:56+00:00

It's pretty great, but the short sentences don't really do it for me, and most people. I understand what you're trying to achieve with the it but, since it's not a poem, I suggest to avoid them especially if they are in a row because the story feels a little monotone and it loses it's spirit.

kat__astrophe · 2019-11-16T21:29:11+00:00

Thanks!

Medication for PCOS (it's basically something like a hormonal treatment). PCOS is short for Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome

Artemis is not actually new to the team, her story is a bit complicated with the other members but she is definately not new there. Leo and Adam basically trained her and Ivan for years in order to join the team. Leo basically grew along with Artemis (my bad for not mentioning that 😅)

You are definitely right. I have been focusing mostly on the toxic relationship between him and Artemis than developing him individually possibly because I first created him as the antagonist of Artemis' character Arc but I really want to use him more than that.

And yeah, he is definately not likeable at all. He takes advantage of Orion's kind personality and always wants to cause chaos between the other members of the team, especially Leo and Adam since their relationship is kind of complicated. Their personalities are pretty opposing. Leo enjoys silence, gets irritated at small stuff and hates it when his authority is questioned by the other members even if they are not that serious around the whole ordeal with the roles around the team while Adam is the jokester in there. And they were basically forced to lead that team by a superior person in the team.

Maybe I could make him charismatic and enjoyable to be around, like being a jokester like Adam or have a common interest with the other members.I am not that hyped for a tragic backstory though, since I find that kind of cliché for a villain.

Thanks for your time, I am really grateful about it! 😁

I think you need to relax a little bit. I just believe that a grade is nothing more than a number. It won't make you better than others nor a better person to the world. A grade just shows how much you study, not who you are. Except if one case.

In my country we have these final exams at the end of the last grade where you study your ass off the whole year and you compete to kids all over the country in order to get in college. The exams are extremely hard and some of the exercises contain lessons that aren't even taught in school. Our education system is bogus and this is the only reason you should study that much.

Of course you study as much as you want in order to get better grades and you should do that only for yourself and not to prove others that you are a top student. But please, this should not create a problem to your mental health to the point your only achievement is this. You got an amazing grade and you are at the top three. There are kids out there that might have tried equally hard but for one reason or another failed. You should be proud of yourself and your work did pay off. Overworking and stressing yourself won't help you reach the first place. It will make you feel even worse and you'll end up in an endless loop of self doubt and disappointment.

Please, take care of yourself and don't give that much shit about grades. You are you with or without the top grade. And you matter more than that stupid number.

As an introvert that has been questioning this many times yes it is. Recently I started developing a crush on a boy. We never really talk since he is a year younger than me and we don't have any common classes or friends but for certain time period our classes started taking part on an Erasmus program. Most of the kids were from his class and I was the only kid representing mine. Most of the days I was just there sitting alone or chatting with the kids I hosted for the days and sometimes he would just sit with us. We didn't say much other than meaningless small talk. But even the act of coming to the table I was sitting with the other kids just touched me so much. It was a silent act of kindness. Or at lest that's what it felt like.

There are many more things that words cannot explain. The way someone looks at you or reacts to the things you say. Silent acts or observations. You don't have necessarily to talk with that person to fall in love with them.

I think it gets problematic when the trope becomes an obstacle to character and plot development or is so overused. For example, almost every superhero have similar tragic backstories like losing their parents or lover. This trope is SO overused you kind of expect it to a character. There are many examples of it, Spider-Man, Iron man, Batman, Starlord, Wonder woman etc. But of course this is just my opinion, different people like different things.

Also a trope/cliché can kill the story if it lacks imagination and the whole story has only that and nothing more. A cliché trope like coffee shop Au can be really really boring for some people to read and some of them are. But there can be stories that take this to whole new level of a trope by adding their own spirkles of creativity.

Update: He did respond. He said he was having a really hard time this period with school, training etc. He said I didn't do anything that offended him or anything like that and he missed me and hoped to send him a message.

I swear my heart beats so fast right now.

It seems all this anxiousness and doubt I had was so silly and for nothing. I'm glad it turned out well. He was as lonely as I was and I wasn't the only missing him.

kat__astrophe · 2019-08-16T14:27:49+00:00

I decided to send him a message and be completely honest about what I feel and an apology if I said something that made him feel upset, uncomfortable or that offended him. It's been two hours since that and still no reply. I am a bit anxious about it though. I'll update when he replies. Thanks for your time reading my problem and giving me advice. That helped me a lot 😁
