That moment when you realize a throwaway line in episode 2 of your favorite animu actually means “btw let’s have sex with 2 or 3 submissive homosexual men at some point”, seriously, it’s well-established slang and the only interpretation that makes sense in context as well how did I not notice this before

Tags: not a book but whatever saber marionette j sinister gaiety cat was kind of the old version of uke but it's still widely used and the show takes place on a world with only men so this is almost assuredly what is actually meant Akahorin is a dark wizard of storytelling

Contrary to what some have said, Higurashi characters go mad so gradually that you hardly notice until something like this happens.

Between this, the oblique references to Burakumin, and the earlier scene discussing cannibal psychology, Higurashi can stand alongside Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service in actually admitting controversial issues exist. (Also,risking the wrath of the extreme right by daring to suggest that some things the writer’s home country did in the past might have been wrong.) Kudos to Ryukishi-sensei for a horror story that actually is very, very scary, for a lot of different reasons.

The actual author, for her part, answered this monstrosity with tact and grace. This would have been my response.

Today I briefly panicked because I was sitting a Political Science exam and I seriously thought “oh no, I’m going to have to write the word ‘terrorism’! my essay will get flagged as dangerous and I’ll be arrested!”

then I remembered that pencils can’t have keyloggers. >_<

"At the same time, I imagine my Aunty, gazing at the far-off moon as she quietly tucks it below the horizon. I imagine little Twilight, rousing herself from slumber for just long enough to peek at the tiny casket at her own bedside. And somehow, in that moment, the three of us are one pony, and the tears begin to come again, and I cry into my pillow with great gasping sobs without even really knowing why. I guess that I’m crying for a lost kingdom, a lost and unknown moon-princess, a lost tooth sitting in a tiny casket near the bed of the most heartbreakingly wonderful filly in all Canterlot, perhaps all Equestria. Three missing pieces, leaving empty spaces behind. Spaces that may, some day – if we are lucky and loving – be filled again."

As a reminder

The Mon Colle Knights subs are not dead. The wait is a product of final exams and that one word I’ve mentioned previously. (If you want the sub faster, feel free to help!)
