Yeah no. She does want to bone her.

What do you mean you did not have sex before marriage?!

That is certainly A Choice. Especially with someone who was only with men before now.

No. No. You know what? I'm saying it. That is stupid. Utterly dumb. Same-sex marriage was so new that you were the first to register. But you do not even know if one partner will enjoy sex?! Dumb. Very very very dumb.

Unless sex isn't an issue for the other. Then, okay.

... Do you not want to celebrate Christmas with your brother? Why is he not even an afterthought? So strange.

Oh and maybe also mention the starting point? England started their conquest with their neighbours and did a pretty good job of destroying every bit of those cultures...

Oookay? That part was really not targeted at me but at the ordinary sjmoe who do not really know just how invasive England was in their imperialism.

I do wish it was more specific about the cultures they were talking about. Which culture had three genders for example?

Wait o'connell was there not some feud? They aren't allowed in some pubs even today? Now i am thinking about the Red Wedding from a game of thrones...was that based on a real event?

Search machine Wikipedia here i come.

Oeh i thought i would assume the mum was a bad mum. White and privileged? But she talked about repeating history, and the prince's life is very public so that would soften me up towards her.

But talking to his mother that way? Dude most kids did not start out that way. Something bad have to happen (again most of the time)

I never asked this before but what if you were an atheist during the Troubles? It goes beyond different religions, I know that, but would you fall under the cultural side by default?

There has to be some reading material about this...

They upped the diverse characters by like 80% 😅

Can see why because the more blue collar jobs you have the more diversity you will see, especially in London.

Still. It is very noticeable compared to the first two books. Class differences were always there now you have different heritages as well. Very strange.

Interesting to see Harry call Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill two great prime ministers.

Churchill I can see, despite him being a massive dick. Thatcher... Her politics were very divisive as a whole. Maybe I should try to find some material that is a bit more positive about her instead of neutral. Because I think she was also a dick in both her personality and political actions.

It is funny because on his deathbed I could see how the dad thought the love (affaire) wasn't worth it. Not because he hurt the woman he married but his career. Someone who advices to go for a career instead of love (with a good person) has some loose screws.

Funny in my country I would think they would just switch to a different political party but I kind of forgot there are only two (?) in England.

Hmm... The only way I see them working out is if Harry gives up being the Tory leader? And then both doing something smaller in politics. Just one issue.

This is stressing me out. There is a reason why I do not read thrillers and only watch action movies.

Yeah i am skimming this. Vaseline 🙂‍↔️

I'm sorry but doing/trying anal while being stranded is madness.

My dudes. What if one of you gets an injury? In a place that zalf cannot reach?

This is actually stressing me out.

Yeah I am done for today.

He must be a man (crossdresser) right? Because of him saying: "Finally a real man in charge!". Not a trans-woman?

Such a shame though. I liked that they were so accepting of the fact she married a woman. Now it feels more like that character is the punchline of a really bad joke...

Maybe the playing with gender is more nuanced in Japanese?

🥹 that's lovely.

I adore Nakamura, Asumiko's art but this story is a bit boring. If you like food and take this in small portions, it is perfectly fine (boob fetish aside) but I'm just getting more bitter about the fact I cannot order all the food. 🥺

The kid is a brat.

Sometimes I cannot distinguish between good parenting, survival parenting, and very bad parenting.

"Yes, the image of a man well into his thirties having his heart skip a beat wasn't all that entertaining, but the fact of the matter was that the older a person got, the more sentimental they grew, and the easier their tears could be jerked."

That is a really weird sentence. Especially the last part? Translation error or a saying that makes sense in Japanese?

This chapter reminded me way too much about the time I learned about hucows... that was a weird rabbit hole to fall into.

I want to eat that Yoyo-men so bad 😭

"It was important for a man of Nakata's feminine disposition to maintain a healthy body,"

Hmm I think some different choices could have been made here. 'Slim figure' for example. Still something mostly women say but a bit less.. misogynistic? Sexist? Weirdly framed?

"A heavy-chested doctor did what to me?!"

Now why did I snorted at that? It is not refined comedy. This is on the level with poop jokes. Maybe worse because of the sniff of misogyny...

Oh man I think this part is full of puns! The translation is pretty good? But it just feels like I am missing some boob-related ones...

Sidenote: are puns (woordgrappen) truly where the Dutch shine? DISCUSS!

Wait, when does scurvy become a thing? After weeks or months? 🤔

I can vaguely remember a story about a student getting it after eating only instant noedels. I think I was surprised it took so long? Plus sailors were on sea for months. But what about their bowel movement?

... I am overthinking this.

I am really glad they found some toothbrushes. At a certain point 'unbelievable yet enjoyable' becomes 'truly some bullshit'.

When I think about childrens abuse under de the rich people I always think about the son on that onderzeeër (it is too late to translate). That rich fucker brought his kid on board and went way too deep in the ocean. The rich can get away with a lot.
