Insulting you when you visit? Normal. Very normal--I can say tame even. When I visit my girlfriend's house two months ago for the first time, her father took me to his study room to show his prized armor and a Naginata before talking about my own plans in the future. How is that insulting? It's mor...

… I found Hisao in a Menya Musashi restaurant having lunch with Shizune. She had white-soup chashu ramen and curry ika on the side; he had red-soup chashu ramen and gyoza on the side. Both were having houji tea. They shared macha pancakes and a Hokkaido milk pudding for dessert. Then I realised the...

Are you about to enlighten me that acting like an insulting asshole, making one's children's lives hell, and carrying around a katana are three dead-common activities amongst dads in modern Japan? Does Shizune and Hideaki complains about Living with Jigoro? No? I don't think their life is hell--jus...

I've heard this theory several times before, and I cannot fathom the level of generosity required to brook it for an instant. Well, that's why it's my headcanon and not yours! :D The point of this thread is more along the lines of 'what's in your head and why' as opposed to 'why it shouldn't be in ...

I recently learned where all the KS backdrops came from. Like most of the school backrounds are from Brown University and I learned that the Shanghai is also REAL! The GATE! http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/aa/70/15/aa70156e525f2f6320156afdbf1c9fb2.jpg https://www.google.com/maps/@38.259162,1...

That also depends on where in the west you are. There are parts of the US where it's a cultural meme that a father will be making a show of cleaning firearms when a suitor to his daughter comes around. I mean, that's even worse than Jigoro twirling a sword... I'm waaay in the East, sadly, and as mu...

Jigoro is this over-protective parents who's really trying hard to keep his family in one piece. He acts like an 'asshole' because he's pretty much measuring everyone--that, and he's afraid of actually being outdone by someone else. It's reasonable. Except that it really isn't. If I was dating some...

In an odd reverse-headcanon... When the characters are exposed to something they really-really like (e.g. for the fun of it, a VN of 'us')... 1. Shizune would turn on her computer and write a fanfiction 2. Emi would exercise twice as hard, telling herself that she's doing it for 'x' as a motivation....

As Hisao himself notes, Jigoro has an analytical stare even while he's acting an asshole. Jigoro, neither hypocrite nor jerk, but concerned father, devious schemer, not a nice guy but determined to hold his family together. You don't know how happy I am reading this. I've been telling the same thin...

I've pretty much burned myself out explaining this particular topic over and over again as this forum's residential vocal Shizuists. There's a topic around the forum somewhere that covered it already and random discussion covered one other on the cultural aspect.

Hanako is fluent in English, she just said that she was doing "all right, [she...] suppose[d]" in Lilly's route, because she felt guilty about rubbing it in. hah, you wish :lol: If Lilly--who has her parents living abroad in Scotland speaking an English language I can't even understand (t...

The thing about Shizune's route is that it contains a lot of details that common western people tend to miss or pass over their heads, except if they're familiar with the culture or experience it (e.g. born in it, live in it, study about it extensively, etc.). A few other things that may 'skip', and...

Hanako is a gamer, and gets very into the specific game she's playing at the moment. This actually coincides with my headcanon. It's always the quiet one that goes violent...somehow. Although, I have this strange idea that Hanako is secretly into cosplaying--but that's just me with beer. :lol: But ...
