I will raise a glass to that wish.

...you are entirely deeply too kind. Yes. My address is still the same. ♥!

Ahah, I'm behind on KHR and rather detached as a result. The main scanlating team makes a significant amount of mistakes and it doesn't seem worth it to keep reading when several times they've put down the literal opposite of what the dialogue meant.

3 favorite relationships
- Nana and the pack of kids that have invaded her house. She has adopted a bunch of complete randoms, and she's just like, cool, there's company! And they adore her.
- Tsuna-Gokudera. Their relationship is this goofball, misunderstood kind of understanding where, by complete accident, they found someone they needed without really seeing it.
- Kyoko-Tsuna. Kyoko treats him like her gay BFF and he's going ':D :D she's talking to me :D :D', and they both go around thinking the other is so neat, and it's adorable. Now if only the 'must protect the girls ... by never letting them in the manga' mindset would die in a fire.

Actually, this question is impossible because there are many great relationships. Shitt P-Gokudera is bizarre and fantastic. Levi-Xanxus and Squalo-Xanxus have become x7000 better since finding out that Levi is the only person in the Varia to have had a conversation with Xanxus. Hana-Kyoko are perfect friends. Tenth generation Simon family values 4eva. And never forget G: "Significant pause do as you want, like you always do." GIOTTO: "You're right, significant pause G." ME: "huff huff homg"

3 favorite characters
- Man, last time I read, Daemon Spade was my favourite. He has great lines - "I apologise for the excessive surreality." (I should still loathe him for that business with Chrome, but I've repressed that so hard.)
- And recently I poked at fic and remembered that Levi is totally hot...
- For old times' sake, Tsuna.

Honorable mention: Bermuda von Lichtenstein. DAT NAME

3 of my favorite moments
- When Hibari gets Sakura-kura Syndrome. So foolish! so strange! and the moment I fell for the manga.
- When Gokudera defends Tsuna from that teacher in what, the fourth chapter? From RAEGING to puppy!! in three seconds. Sealed my love for him and 5927.
- The moment when Glo Xinia begins to realise he's about to git nailed by an owl remains a classic.

3 reasons I like/love that fandom
- Absurdity out the ears
- Pretty art
- It has GREAT PEOPLE IN IT. :D

...I'm not sure if anything I say to you about Homestuck would make sense. The series enjoys being incomprehensibly convoluted.

I have done my homestuck research on tvtropes and wiki and other places! :) SOME of what you say would make sense... not all.

Postcard sent ♥ from Tokyo! :) WISH YOU WERE THEREEE

ugh! terribly sorry to hear about the dialogue mistakes :( that is TERRIBLE.
(on the upside I think your Japanese must be pretty good :D)

Spoiler: When I said 'great people' that was a very subtle reference to you. And others. But very much you.

Heck wow I'd like to have been in Tokyo too. At some point I will for real have to save and travel some.

on the upside I think your Japanese must be pretty good :D
If only! I don't speak or read Japanese, but people who do have been shaking their heads sadly and slowly at the recent scanlations. But there's also stuff that's obvious to pick up for fans. Once they translated Mukuro's name as "corpses", which is technically correct, but....... And they put down dialogue for Chrome that made it look like she didn't know Mukuro gave her her organs, while a different translation had the more sensible take on things that she was surprised the other party knew about the illusionary organs deal. So. I MAD GRRR.
