Even as early as episode 1 the sex scenes are so hot that I dropped my stitch marker on the floor. But I nearly finished the second ear flap of Hat Project #34. \o/

I started rereading The Summer Hikaru Died to cope with recent developments (Give Yoshiki A Gun 2k26) and I forgot that Yoshiki calls "Hikaru" "it" in his thoughts at first, so I'm gonna be having my scheduled crash-out now, thanks.

Thank you so much for explaining!! That sounds like one hell of a generational trauma, wow. D: (On top of many others, from what I understand.)
Also, I'm sorry for my overall ignorance! Thank you for taking the time. <3<3

Ooh I see! Omg, I'm glad the little mammoth found a place for himself. ;_; But yeah, I think that would have emotionally destroyed me as a child, I was/am really sensitive.
You mean the Romanovs, right? I'm watching a documentary about that at the moment! Harrowing stuff & I'm not even that far in.

Omg. Perhaps similar to German fairytales?! 😂
I swear, the violence, cruelty, and gore in the fairytales I read as a child are NOT Disney-appropriate, haha. 😂

Omg ;___; okay, that is SO COOL and also adorable as hell!!
If there is a house spirit here, they are playing with the stoppers of my knitting needles, haha. (OR they're angry that I haven't vacuumed in too long 😂😂)
The needle stoppers are colorful rubber, so I bet they're great to play with. :D

I had a classmate whose last name was "Kühl" (cool, like the temperature) & a lot of people called him "Kühlschrank" (fridge, literally 'cool-cupboard') for years, sigh. Kids can be horrible. xD

Hahaha yes! I've watched some Youtube videos on that :D, I've heard that the true art of Russian cursing is combining the different elements into something beautiful lmao.

Oh yes, I've heard Hungarian is incredibly hard too! And hahaha yes, I remember my father's 1,000 yard stare whenever someone mentioned Russian cases ("There's six, Derry. Six. SIX."). I consider myself lucky bc I speak German, which has 4, so at least I'm familiar with the concept, haha.

*note-taking noises* That's so good to know omg!! Thank you! <3 (What about his last name? I've heard it as RO-zanov but also Ro-ZA-nov. I hope at least one is correct lmao.)

>> Oh and my father, who spoke Russian (non-native), taught me "it's gonna be okay" which is very important to know. I tried to get him to teach me to swear but he wouldn't. :D (He swore like a sailor in German, our native language, though xD.))

Oh I see! Yeah that makes sense. I'm REALLY glad it's more of a relief than not. <3
(Russian is SO beautiful omg. I'm forever salty that I had to drop it as a class in middle school (I was sick ALL the time & couldn't keep up). I remember how to introduce myself but that's it, haha. >>

Fuck. I'm SO sorry about your loved ones. That's just fucked up. No wonder it affects you daily. D:
And yes, survival mode is one hell of a thing. I'm familiar with it. :/ Grief is so tough when it finally comes through the numbness/"I'm fine" stage. 🫂
