To Be Dead While Alive, to Have No Mouth Yet Must... →
You must be strong at all costs because there may come a time when you must scream, but have no mouth. You’ll wish to cry out, but can not. You will be alive, but dead inside.
The REAL meaning of the word “Hyouka”, and how it relates to a science fiction horror short story from four and a half decades ago.

The stone was smooth underneath his fingertips, perfect and cold to the touch. Closing his eyes, he felt a slight breeze whisper through his hair, around his ears and embracing his body. Even the wind was mocking him. He kept his eyes shut, allowing his other senses to take over his racing mind….

Criticism a welcome thought Exempting all else that comes beside. T’would be more useful to use a pail To fight the coming of the tide. Abhorrent are these accompanying thoughts Of choosing sides, least worst or based on links? Who knows who and who knows what And oh God, please don’t think!

So this is about a month late, but it’s an idea that I’ve been tossing around in my head for a while. From all around the world, what I had in mind was that next Thursday (3/29/2012) everyone takes a photo of the sky and upload it to Twitter, Tumblr, or whatever. It can be any photo of the…

That’s not photoshop; that’s an actual cloud hovering inside an actual room. Artist Berndnaut Smilde merges art and science to create small man-made clouds that exist — albeit for just a moment — indoors.

‘Twas slothy, and the sly shadows did creep across the bedroom floor As did the boy’s curiosity at Whispered words behind the door. “Beware the siren’s call, brother dear! Those who take more to please, silly! Their plumage only serves to cover that Which can be had easily!” He took his sword…

aboutwaifuz:
SO. I’ve joined the intellectual and charming aniblog “The Untold Story of Altair and Vega”. They were mostly interested in my work here on waifuz (which flatters me more than I little), so I am going to start writing longer things for them.
What does that mean for this little slice the internet? Not much at the moment. I will still probably post shorter things and interact with...

It’s about a lovable loser. He’s shy, and not that interesting. But he somehow winds up in the company of a hot — and flawed but fundamentally pure — girl.
Occasionally, “H” things happen between them.
Fanservice here and there.
Along the way, there are a lot of laughs. Interlopers and…

cincobajeena:
It’s a sort of adventure thing.
It stars a DFC tsundere who wears boots and solves mysteries. She has a short fuse but mostly keeps it in check, sometimes by releasing pent-up aggression at the boxing gym.
She seems to have some sexual abuse in her past, and that colors her relationships in the…

While we all can agree that Mawaru Penguindrum is an enthusiastic show full of flamboyant, vibrant characters, emotional drama and an intriguing plot, it is equally thought provoking for its social commentary and layered thematic symbolism on Japanese society and culture. Since this show is…
