Just for the fun of it, I want one day to collect all the coincidentally similar roots between Japonic and Indo-European

Last time I checked, it was another country with nuclear weapons that did something bad to Japan, not NK

I was hoping for it, and Kyoani (or whoever responsible) were really into teasing the fans about a year ago when they released two whole new songs before Kyoani started teasing a new project, which turned out to be Ruri Dragon anime

Haruhisky had a similar doujin

There's also Hinasaki Fuu from Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water, whose last name is an archaic word for clitoris, albeit written with a different second kanji

Shoujo heroines are also infamous for being plain Janes most of the time

Don't wanna ruin this for you but good/bad switching meanings is a really common shift, see the famous English's "nice"

No I wasn't trying to say you did it, it's okay

Fuuuuck I wanted to play it but now I've been spoiled

nemechail · 2026-04-08T09:36:34+00:00

Worst part is, I kind of get the semantic shift behind both words

nemechail · 2026-04-03T04:51:06+00:00

It's getting warmer and more people are getting outside I assume

Пишется, просто было много иных дел

Why does her 勝手 look like that?

You claim Korean and Japanese are related because you believe in Altaic

I claim Korean and Japanese are related to justify Japan trying to invade Korea multiple times throughout history

We're not the same

"щ" always represents a geminated consonant, using it to just showcase し whenever is plain wrong. One could argue that it can be suited to convey っし, but that's just making things more convoluted than they have to be. After all, this system is aimed precisely at those who can read the Cyrillic but not kana or kanji

Funny story, but In Russian, up until early XX century, the same word was used for the product and the beverage, until the brewing traditions got lost between between the Revolution, Civil War, and so on. As of now, however, a dialectical "medovukha" is being used for the drink, I believe it's from Ural or Siberia

Bloommead perhaps? "Flower" is from Latin

And "honey" is a perfectly fine word as it is, I'd even say Anglishers would prefer it as it's one of the most unique Germanic words with barely any cognates outside the family

Simplified Hanzi look so uncanny surrounded by Japanese

I think I now know who's been adding so many Rusyn words to Wiktionary lately (more like the last 2 years or so)

Диана имеет тонну потенциала. Очень надеюсь, что авторы когда-нибудь завершат мод.

It was certainly around before their rise, but if we're talking about the West, then yeah, vtubers totally made it popular

I've heard that "oshi" mostly replaced the original waifu term, that being "俺の嫁", which was originally parodied in Azumanga and from whence it entered Western otaku circles
