Re: The Official KS Headcanon Thread
Not even sure where I picked this headcanon up, and there's no basis for it in the VN, but Akira refers to Lilly as "Lils" all the time. Lilly isn't fond of it, but she tolerates it from Akira (and Akira alone). Similarly, she tolerates "Lillian" only from her father.

Re: Random KS Discussion
I've worn glasses since I was 5, and bifocals since I was 10. Annoyingly, last time I got lenses, they couldn't get photochromic lenses in my prescription, from a supplier that was any good. (The only time I was able to get them, they used a really poor quality coating.) I could go contacts with som...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: Classroom Game)
However, any prescriptiveness in English is along the lines of providing the description and requiring that someone learning the language stick with the existing usage. Contrast with, say, French, where there are influential bodies that explicitly create new words, sometimes even explicitly resistin...

Re: The Official KS Headcanon Thread
Regarding someone being transgender in Japan... I'm a bit vague on this (damn language barrier), but had reason to research it for a fanfic, but it seems like changing one's name isn't particularly hard (but depends on the prefectural court you deal with), even if changing one's legal gender is quit...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: Classroom Game)
And "abandoned" is actually a good term for it, that doesn't have the political context. Abandoning something means that you're walking away from it, whereas aborting something is taking action to stop it from continuing. A fanfic can't continue on its own, it requires action to continue i...

Re: Yamaku Book Club (Now Reading: Classroom Game)
However, what is a language without context? And, seeing as English isn't a prescriptive language, the meaning isn't just neutral without context, it's nonexistent without it.

Re: The Official KS Headcanon Thread
I don't think Hisao and Hanako would start dating each other for quite awhile after Lilly's departure, after they've had time to get over her leaving. But eventually, once they did develop feelings for each other, they'd seek (and likely receive) Lilly's approval/blessing before they started offici...

Re: The Official KS Headcanon Thread
I'll admit, my headcanon is closer to Developments than After the Dream in that regard. Hanako and Hisao will both probably be in shock and end up relying on each other to pick up the pieces, and things will end up happening (unless, of course, a wild Emi appears... which happens in both stories ......

Re: The Official KS Headcanon Thread
Do they even sell the diesel in Japan? I was under the impression that Mazda was the only company even trying to sell diesel passenger cars in Japan nowadays. Oh, I've got two headcanons as far as what Emi drives. Either nothing at all, or a Suzuki Cappuccino - small, spunky, and can be quite fast w...

Re: The Official KS Headcanon Thread
Really, Mitsubishi is not known for build quality, refinement, or fit and finish. They're known for cheaply built cars that in some cases (like the Evo) go fast. And, the Lancer is what in the US is considered a compact car. True, in Japan, a Lancer isn't small, but then you're saying that Akira wou...

Re: The Official KS Headcanon Thread
I forget where I saw the fan art, but Hanako and Lilly riding a tandem would be an interesting bonding experience for both of them, I suspect. Hanako would be in total control, too. Also, fuck bicycles (OK, not really, I've got one of those, too), tricycles are where it's at (this is actually mine, ...

Re: The Official KS Headcanon Thread
Oh, did you post this earlier? If so, I must've missed it. I did, on the first page: Miki has been attracted to Hanako in the past, and scared her off. Regarding the discussion of cars... Akira doesn't strike me as the S-Class kind of gal. I mean, she drives an Evo. Small, unrefined, fast, and pret...

Re: The Official KS Headcanon Thread
Keep in mind that it's my headcanon that Miki had pursued Hanako as a potential sexual partner in the past.
So, it's my headcanon that Hanako did not actually have sex with Miki, and that she believes that that was a mistake, and therefore has sex with Hisao so as to not make that mistake twice.
