    Shinju got a reaction from Kurahieiritr in Japanglish in Fanfiction: Must you really, author?   
    It would be sad to have to remove your work because of harrassment from reviewers. I think that you should write in the style you feel most comfortable with and ignore the more picky weeaboos, probably of which a majority of do not know proper Japanese anyway.
    I know I give Japanese pop stars / anime voice actors a break when they speak English just because I'd rather find the bright side of the matter (ie: its endearing that they try) rather than be annoyed that what they are saying sometimes sounds downright silly and under practiced to my American born ears. Our languges are very different and mastering one from the other can be very difficult.
    I will say this though, I'd rather not sound silly to a Japanese person by slaughtering their language at every oppertunity with frivolity rather than practicing, learning and thinking about what I want to say before I say it. I think that people generally absorb culture through osmosis, meaning they don't think, they just do, or on this case speak or write.

    Shinju got a reaction from Kurahieiritr in My favourite things about yaoi rant   
    Here it goes, borrowed from The Sound of Music:
    Bishonin in poses while semes look smitten
    Big uke eyes and fanfictions written
    Twinks in their bedroom all tied up with string
    These are a few of my favorite things
    Long haired bishonen and R18 doodles
    Watching hard yaoi and knowing that it rules
    Wild all male orgies and hot guys with wings
    These are a few of my favorite things
    Bishis in leather and tsundre with glasses
    X-ratd doujun and men with nice asses
    All of their hotness makes me want to sing
    These are a few of my favorite things
    When my life bites
    When my pride stings
    When I'm feeling mad
    I simply remember my favorite things
    And then I don't feel so bad
    ****I felt inspired so I wrote ths and posted it elsewhere. Thought ypu guys might like it too.****
    When I posted this in that other place I accidentally pluralized one of the bishonin . . . now I feel silly.

    I wonder if sane Japanese people feel the same way when they hear garbled English in every other one of their pop songs . . .
    I think it's cute to an extent, but I find it ruins the mood of whatever I'm listening to because I tend to break out in "OhMyGodItsSoCute" hystarical fangirl lauguhter depending on how bad the English is.
    I wonder how people from Japan feel about us so hamhandedly trying to assimilate their language as they have done so to ours? Do think its cute or do they hate it?
    OmG, I challenge anyone here to write a Hetalia fanfiction where America and Japan have an argument about this

    Shinju got a reaction from Kurahieiritr in Sexuality and Categories Pertaining to Such   
    Take it from me, forcing labels on your children fucks them up royaly. You will never be able to undo this kind of damage. Take it from me, if your four year old son wants to wear red lipstick so he can look like mommy or put on some ruby red slippers so he can look like Dorthy, let him. When you see your pre-teen daughter looking at girls, don't go up to her and tell her not to become a lesbian. Chances are, with men being such bastards, she'll be better off with a chick anyway.
    My point is, no matter how much control you think you have over your children and influencing their decisions, you have absolutely no control over this. Just face facts and give up. Sure, you can choose to continue, dropping them little hints and clues that mommy and daddy want you to grow up strait. But you are only hurting them and yourselves. You cannot imagine the self loathing that they feel when the people who are supposed to love them unconditionally tell them, subtly or strait out, that they will not be loved the same if their sexual orientation is something other than expected.
    You have to understand they can't help themselves or the way they relate sexually to other people, and when to try to make them think that they can, it just makes them hate themselves when they can't.
    I guess it all comes down to how much of your child's mental sanity are you willing to risk to try to make them into what you want?

    Shinju got a reaction from Kurahieiritr in Polygamy?   
    Why do people make such a big deal out of outlawing things like gay marriage and polygamy? Is it because some people of certain backgrounds don't believe in separation of church and state? Isn't that the concept upon which this country is founded?

    Shinju reacted to Shadowknight12 in [Research Assistance] Ask The Forumers   
    I saw something similar in another forum and I thought this'd be a good way to celebrate coming back to AFF. Sometimes we are struck with questions when we're writing and we don't know who to ask, so I figured this might be a great way for the forum to pour our expertise together.
    This is how it works: you ask questions and someone who knows about the subject comes in and answers them! I'm a biochem major, so I know about science-y and medical stuff, but we have all sorts of people on the forums with their own areas of expertise, so we can all help each other out when a niggling doubt eats away at us or when we need something explained to us.
    Without further adieu, let's get this research party started!

    Shinju reacted to reriddle in Wanna be my friend?   
    Holy crap people actually responded to my post? No way?! and here I was think that I would have to live a sad and lonely life on the internet. I propose a topic: what is your faverite book? Humm? My faverorite is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I read it as a child in the 4th grade. It made absolutely no sense to me. I reread it two years later and it has been my favorite book ever since.
