BTW i see these posts all the time like "ohhh i dont know what to comment on fics.." and every response is "keysmashes! or hearts!! anything works :3" and thats GREAT!! thats helpful!!

but: consider. if u genuinely like analyzing writing.. do u know ur just allowed to go through and quote your favorite parts and ramble abt what they mean to u and the author will LOSE IT WITH HYPE?

genuinely. i felt SO WEIRD the first time i did it.. but like. holy shit authors love it. its crack for authors. the first time i did it, it was on a fic that hadnt updated in half a year, give or take, and the author made 3 updates that month BECAUSE OF MY COMMENT.

LIKE. as an author every comment is INCREDIBLE!!! but also, dont feel like your comment has to be short or otherwise ur invasive or smth!! authors ADORE long comments more than ANYTHING.

I'm all in for more modern translations of the odyssey, but I feel like not including the honorifics removes a lot of the nuance. It's just not the same if I don't read Odysseus-sama

The criteria for “addiction” being “dopamine” is so incredibly stupid it had to have been invented by the people that try to say porn addiction is real thing

Your fetish doesn’t have to be praxis.

Read that sentence. Read it again. Really drill it into your skull. Internalize the idea until it cannot be removed from your brain.

Then stop making really annoying discourse posts on why this or that kink is WrongBad or how everyone with it is WrongBad and start caring more about how this person treats others outside of a consensual kink context. You’re allowed to hate a kink because of how much it resembles real life issues you suffer with, but other people are going to engage in it whether you like it or not and the only reasonable thing you can ask of them is to not involve you or anyone else who doesn’t want to be a part of it.

And before “three guesses on what kink OP has” if you don’t know me, you’re probably wrong and about to make yourself look like an ass by making assumptions. Go ahead, test your luck, I dare you.

How to read Kara no Kyoukai/The Garden of Sinners

Kara no Kyoukai (literally translated The Boundary of Emptiness, officially translated The Garden of Sinners) is a light novel series by Kinoko Nasu, of Tsukihime and Fate fame. It was Nasu's first published work, originally published online in the 90s. You might know it most for the ufotable movie adaptations, or for the main character Shiki being playable in FGO.

This series predates Nasu's better-known Tsukihime and Fate series, and you can see inklings of ideas he'd reuse and refine in those works. Most prominent of these is the character of Shiki Ryougi, whose name, multiple personalities, and Mystic Eyes of Death Perception would all inspire Shiki Tohno of Tsukihime. This is also the series where Fate's famous Counter Force was first introduced.

The Kara no Kyoukai novels were Nasu's first published work, but have had a rough history in terms of translation to English. There have been bad and just straight up inaccurate attempts, and a publishing company that wanted to put them out officially went under before it had the chance, but now all these years later the series is finally completed in English!

Kara no Kyoukai is a supernatural mystery series set in Tokyo in the 1990s. Each chapter is an individual story (barring two-parters), but they all come together to tell a larger tale. It is written in anachronic order, not chronological order. As you read and skip through the timeline of Shiki and Mikiya's life, the story all starts to come together.
