Danae's Profile

No, don't worry! Studies always comes first. I've been really busy the past few days as well with assignments.

Yup! I totally agree with you. <3 I usually don't like tsunderes either -- way too stereotyped and even annoying at times, but it's the fact that Michiru completely subverts that trope that makes her so interesting. Haha, I think when I joined MAL I didn't have any favorite female characters either (it was probably just Sasuke, lmao), but over time, they've become all that's on my favorites.

If I had to order the routes, I'd probably say: Michiru > Amane > Yumiko > Sachi > Makina. I don't necessarily think Michiru's was the best route story-wise, but I just love her so much that I can't help but put her first, haha. I replay her route all the time. I actually didn't like Makina's route that much... felt her and Yuuji didn't have much of a connection compared to the other girls. It was still a good read, though (all of Grisaia is great, so this is just arbitrary in the end, lol!).

Yup, I've read Meikyuu! Just waiting for Eden to come out now. It's definitely shorter than Kajitsu, by a lot. It'll still take a good 25 to 30 hours to complete all of it though, I'd say, depending on your reading speed. Just warning you: I didn't like some aspects of Yuuji's past, although most of the route was pretty good. I just feel like they failed on portraying Yuuji and Asako's relationship well (don't wanna give you spoilers, though!).

Yup, VNs are definitely a time commitment. I just read them at my own pace and put them to the side if I'm busy for awhile. It's great because they're easy to come back to and read whenever you feel like it. Haha, tbh, I'm honestly dreading the Code: Realize anime. I feel like they're not going to do the VN justice -- mainly because each guy's route & ending is SO different, and ends up with different lifestyles for Cardia, so I don't know how they're gonna reconcile that into a good one-cour story while still highlighting each of their personalities. I'll still watch it, just because I love the characters so much, but I implore you to play the VN~ it is so worth it. And yeah, you are from the UK! So it must be pretty cool for you to read a VN set in London (although it's a much different universe). :)

I'm actually in an accelerated program, so I'm graduating in three years (and I'm a year younger than my class because I skipped a grade in elementary school, LOL). And thank you so much! I'm interested in pediatric cardiology right now, but I'm sure that'll change as I learn about different specialties in medical school. It's near where I live, so I should be able to commute (not looking forward to going back to live with my parents, though!).

Oh, I totally understand you. Pre-med courses are just so (I think, needlessly) extensive on biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, blah blah... it has been such a pain, haha. So glad I'm almost done with all of this. Yup, psychology is a great field! My boyfriend is a psychology major as well. :) You will still be involved in the medical field, definitely. That's awesome that you're able to study philosophy & history along with psych! Wow, teaching kids, too? Was that an actual course you were taking or were you part of a club or something?

Ugh, that commute sounds horrible! I'll have to drive about 45 minutes for med school next year, and even then I'm dreading it SO much, haha.

i wish i studied psychology.
well, good luck.

I've worked multiple jobs before going to graduate studies, mostly jobs you can get after finishing undergraduate with an economics degree, so I have a lot of experience, I had a lot of good jobs. Even during undergraduate studies, I worked and took breaks from school. I sincerely hope you get a good job and live an excellent life

So I saw the thread about being friendzoned, and I answered it. I hope the situation is fixed. But there is something that made me rather sad. From what you said, the thing that caught my attention was that he is the touchy type. That he likes pulling ur cheeks. Well, to be honest I felt kind of saddened. Because I don't think cheek touching is cool. I hope I am not being rude or anything, I just want to talk about my opinion. And not saying you should but I think you shouldn't let that happen. Because you're a girl, and I think girls are pure. I'm sorry. Not trying to say awkward things for you or anything. I just worry and care about girls. May I ask a few questions? When was the last time you were with him? Last time he pinched ur cheeks? You are welcome to not answer me. How is social life going overall? You have a lot of friends to hang out with?

And back to authours, I am a person who prefers English writers. Not because I am an Englishman, but I think they are the best. I do recommend that you should stick to English writers or mainly read works by them. Also, do you listen to classical music? I wasn't interested in classical music before, and in fact I didn't know much about the genre. But now I have listened to a few tracks and starting to love classical music. It is epic. And glorious. In fact I didn't know that music like the soundtracks from Lord of the Rings were classical, so I started listening to the genre

You're Greek right? There was an amazing Greek named Alexander The Great. Do you like him? Feel proud because of him? They made so many things. I like how the Greek mythology is so broad, as in a lot of things to learn. They also had extremely tough warriors, called the Spartans

Oh I see, enjoying Shippuuden so far? Who is your favourite character? I actually hoped that Boruto will have some interesting villains, but I hear from people that they don't it will. So I decided not to watch Boruto. And Kishimoto is not even writing the story, although it is canon

family drama ;_; sounds rough..

Wow 8 classes that is alot... I am taking like 7 and I feel like its almost too much >.<

University was pretty relaxing for me, that was back in freshmen tho, i guess in a way its still better than highschool lol

I've also been mostly doing anime pieces too xD tho I think I gotten a little rusty, Chopins are indeed pretty dang hard and I think they're a little too much for me lol.

Ohh Assassins Creed series is actually super fun, I've only played some of the games tho not all of them. Dark Souls III is like dying simulator looool, I can't imagine playing that WITHOUT getting mad after dying 50 million times and dying when the boss has like 10 hp. Thats slightly fucked up xD I still play several games, the good old League of Legends, recently started PUBG that you heard of, its getting quite big so I think alot of ppl have heard of it by now, and I'm trying to find a good MMORPG game to get into like maybe Black Desert Online? Have you heard of that?

College life is... I'd say, pretty amazing in terms of what I have to do and the freedom that comes with it. But also maybe because of how I am or my major being computer science, I somewhat feel so antisocial and perhaps even lonely sometimes. Maybe its because I'm always looking for someone or the "right person". Dunno, just feel somewhat lost with what I want to do :(

Right? Michiru's story is so unique, and yet relatable at the same time -- that feeling of being invisible. And while her whole dual personality isn't quite realistic, it's still a great storyline that I'll never stop coming back to. <3 Any reason you didn't mention Sachi or Yumiko in your favorite routes?

Labyrinth has been translated for about a year now! You can pick it up from Steam (all-ages) or Denpasoft (18+). Eden has actually already come out on Steam, but I'm waiting for the Denpasoft release (probably around December) for the 18+ version.

Aww, I'm so glad you asked about VNs! Tbh, they're my favorite medium in any kind of entertainment atm. I feel like it's the only medium where a character's personality is at the forefront of the entire experience. I just finished If My Heart Had Wings, which is a super great read! The English translation is a little poor here and there, but most routes are super enjoyable -- gorgeous art and music, too. I'm also currently playing the MuvLuv series, since many people think MuvLuv Alternative is the best VN out there. Not sure if I agree yet (Grisaia's too close to my heart), but it is definitely quite amazing so far. Steins;Gate & Clannad are also great VNs, especially good to read if you enjoyed their anime counterparts.

If you're into otome games, I've also recently finished Code: Realize & Amnesia. Greaaat games with amazing characters and storylines -- though Code: Realize definitely comes on top for me. If you're okay with a little puzzle-solving/gameplay mechanics, the Danganronpa & Zero Escape series are totally perfect in every way, haha! But since you're in uni and don't have much time, you should definitely check out Saya no Uta. As long as you can handle the gore/horror/Lovecraft themes, it's a great read that you can finish in less than 6 hours. Really makes you think!

And aww, haha. Well, I'll be 20 in a few months and then we'll be the same age, lolol. And yup! I'm a senior studying Neuroscience -- I see you're a psych major, so we're not that far off! Just a little more biology on my side, haha. (I'm also a Lit minor, which I see you're interested in on your profile :D) I got accepted into med school for next fall, so I'm pretty excited. :) I actually don't take piano lessons anymore either. But yup, definitely still play tons of videogame & anime OSTs, like you.

On another note, I just checked our logged conversation, and we actually spoke two years ago! How funny that things come full circle. I just saw your Michiru pic in a Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet forum, so that's why I commented -- no idea we spoke before, lmao!

Hmm, I skimmed through your profile about how you like to read, and it definitely shows in your writing style (it's descriptive in a good way.)

That makes sense. I don't think you'll be offered closure though (but didn't he already say in that dinner thing that he also sees you as just a friend? Is that enough closure or nah?)

Here's a question tho, when you hang out with friends, whether it's a girl or a guy, do you usually hang in groups or 1 on 1? I feel like, and this is just speaking from personal experience, I prefer hanging out 1 on 1 but at the same time it can also be misleading sometimes because, especially with the opposite sex, it can feel like a (friendship) date. But I think I understand now that you'd need something more than simply attention from the person to know they'd like you. But... the whole touchy thing definitely is misleading af. I wonder if this guy is even aware of what he's doing, or what his true intentions are. You mentioned he's shy and rather indirect, so all this touchy business seems even more... confusing. I think for me whenever I notice something is off, I'd just like to be open about it. Could be an awkward conversation for sure tho.

Oh, with the girl I still hang with her, we're good friends.

Didn't know you had mental health challenges tho. What do you mean you struggle with your friendships? (Loaded question, you can share however much you feel comfortable). (I also like reading soo, and it's way more interesting imo reading real people's lives than fiction at times.)

since you wanted that thread of yours to fade into obscurity, ill just comment here about that friendzone business (also too lazy to type in proper caps so..)

sounds like you still have feelings for this guy, or else you probably wouldn't think about whether or not youre being friendzoned. i guess the only reasonable explanation if he has no feelings is hes just normally a touchy person (kinda rare tbh since it's usually the girls who are more touchy than the guy).

that said tho, is he the only guy you slightly have an interest for? no one else atm? for me personally, i think ive been in a similar situation. well, it's not like the girl was even touchy at all, just that she has a boyfriend but we've hung out several times alone. and, it really is just that I think, friends hanging out. when someone has a partner i basically (or at least rationally) only see them purely as a friend - but it is kinda weird in the sense that you always have to be reminded that okay, this guy has a partner so i shouldn't develop feelings for him or naturally says flirty things to him. it's almost like you intentionally have to step away sometimes because of what you might end up feeling.

soo long story short, like you already mentioned in the topic, its time to hang less with him (at least alone) and maybe with other guys?

oh and uh, happy belated birthday!

I see

I stopped after June 2016. Well I'm in graduate studies, I was studying international business. I studied economics during ungraduate years

Are you watching Boruto now? I haven't started yet

Holy crap! You have a Michiru profile pic! She is my waifu everything. And you're a girl, like me, and 19, like me.
That's insaneeeee, we have to talk. :)

I see I see. How many years do you have left for uni? What do you want to become after finishing? A psychiatrist?

And I am doing excellent thanks. I am not in uni right now because I am taking a break from it. Lately I have been working but I just left my job since I want to stay at home for now

True true it does have many flaws. I disagreed with how Kishimoto drove the story. One of the characters I dislike is Sakura. But the jutsus are interesting. It also has plenty of interesting villians. Many of the characters have an interesting story of their background

I have a lot of fave books. Some of my faves are:
The LOTR trilogy
Silmarillion
The Way of Kings
Daywatch
Misery
The Stand
Bird Box
Christine

For writers:
Stephen King
JRR Tolkien
Philip Pullman
JK Rowling
EM Forster
Ford Madox Ford
DH Lawrence
Ernest Hemingway
John Updike
Don DeLillo
Stephen Crane
James Joyce
Tom Clancy
Dan Brown

Hope you had a good one :)
