Following is an analysis of how Koisenu Futari writes it aro characters, aro narrative and what it intends to convey, and is also my own personal thoughts and feelings in regards to that. I refer to the characters by some stero- and archetypal categories because they are fictional, and how they are is a choice made by writers. I wouldn't say these things about real people, and you don't have to agree with me. Also of course its plot and character important that Takahashi and Sakuko are AroAce. But I will just be saying aro, because that's what was so revolutionary in the show for me and what I'm focusing on in this. Cool? Great, awesome. Let's go.

Koisenu Futari is a show that doesn't seem real to me. Part of my brain assumes, no they didn't actually make an aro show that actually cares about aros. A show that knows and shows aros of all kinds, all-be-it, some just briefly in the meet up group. But as I'll posit, ideologically this show has the space for loveless aros and all of us that really defy the more easier to digest notions of aro-ness.

Because, the thing that stuck me most about this show is that our point of view character Sakuko, is the newly discovered aro. She's a kind person with a sweet disposition and friendly to most. She doesn't relate to all the romance around her (including when someone is being insulting to her about the nature of her lack of relationships), but she is eager to please people, and doesn't like to make any trouble. She's younger and career focused that leaves people do assume any time she doesn't mesh with romance society is simply a matter of late blooming.

And enter Takahashi, the person who's words help her understand herself, help save herself. A person she meets and can finally feel a comfortable, understanding, connection with. Takahashi, an old aro, a bitter aro, he's someone who is knowledgeable about the societal construction and history of romance. He feels deeply the effects of, and understands structurally, amatonormativity. He has couple speeches about such things ready to go and bubbling under the surface, and given with an orator's tilt, compared to the rest of his conversations. And, he is epitome of your repulsed aro, your touch adverse aro and non neurotypical passing aro.

But of course, that's not the totality of what anybody is, and that's not all these characters are. Takahashi is a thoughtful and sentimental man, he's closeted even a bit shy. And through that we see his bravery when working against his reserved nature. He feels lonely, but not devoid of meaning or purpose because of it.

Takahashi's live does certainly seem much happier, and fulfilled. He maintains a blog, his garden, he keeps traditions the contented mundane rituals of life. And to me it brings to mind statistics about masking, being closeted, transition, and their relation to wellness. There is often an inverse relationship to the joy or peace of being yourself, and access to certain parts of society, or safety within it. Which of course, Sakuko, due to being younger and her general disposition, does pass mostly unnoticed in these spaces, but at great cost, some she didn't even realise, or really admit to herself.

Sakuko is, of the two, someone who comes across as more palatable to normative society. The kind of people and structures that might prefer to see aros in QPs specifically so they more closes resemble allo (& hetero) monogamous relationships. Kazu's plot line brings home that the expectations of a man and a women living together supersede the need for actually romance. So they aren't in romantic love, but shouldn't they still have the aesthetic patina of it. If you're a family should the woman not be a caretaker and the man a protector? And, obviously, no. Amantonormativity as a word, as a lens to view society, didn't even originate in aro subculture, and shares a lot of overlap with hetero- and cis- normativity for a reason. And the show's deftly handles how far that norm is from the reality.

Takahashi isn't, we learn, living his perfect life, for a mixture of reasons. Many that I would qualify under a flinch response. If you live your life in defiance of something, against others insistence. It makes sense to be resistant to change, headstrong and immutable. So he'll wholeheartedly commit to his own life, and respect others' choices and feelings. He doesn't talk as much as he simply acts, he wouldn't question someone even if he should. And he won't change his life if it may imply his current way of life is wrong, even if the change could be for the better.

So it is in this these two characters differences that their affect can be seen on each other. Sakuko learns to live a committed and more defiant life. She learns to do things that make her happy, to reach out and grab things by the throat, instead of settle. And from Sakuko who had to change just to keep being herself. Takahashi learns that he doesn't have to live just one way. He can change, if he isn't as happy as he could be he can take a risk, and if that doesn't work, it doesn't have to be permanent. And at no point do they have to change the immutable parts of themselves.

Obviously, there is no trick romance snuck in. But more importantly and, perhaps insightfully, what might be considered secondary character traits are equally respected. Sakuko doesn't have to endure more peoples romantic feelings for her, she doesn't have to stop being career oriented, or fun loving. And she doesn't have to be closer to her family before they can respect her. Takahashi, and this truly blew me away to realise. Doesn't ever have to welcome people touching him, or even being too close. He doesn't have change his affect or his demeanor in emotional conversations. The biggest changes our characters go through come from their increased happiness and increased desire to work towards happiness.

And if it wasn't clear enough yet, the end state of the show knocks it out of the fucking park, and directly into my, and I hope others brains. To be forever lodged in our subconsciouses. The prescribed ideals aren't what give us meaning. Straight couples aren't all perfect, sometimes romantic feelings cause you pain, and structuring your life so it seems familiar is never more important that if it brings you satisfaction and joy. Their lives, their family, their connection to each other doesn't end or stop having meaning when it no longer approximates the very things they were trying to live away from.

A personal note: I’ve been thinking lately of the most effective study plan for my goals moving forward. My primary goal is to expand my vocabulary in a way that makes reading easier.

I am currently at a point where shows are watchable, and if I want to increase my vocabulary to make them easier I can just look words up as I watch. With reading the vocabulary amount is so great that I am not sure if simply looking up words as I read is effective enough on its own.

I read a few articles lately mentioning how learning words based on what I am trying to DO will get me to comprehension faster than learning General overall language frequency words would. One article in particular showed how learning frequent words in one novel, will boost comprehension for reading the authors future novels, and will even boost novel reading comprehension generally, more than learning overall language-frequency words would. Perhaps novels have their own specific more frequent words, compared to shows or conversation etc. This is the article: https://www.chinesethehardway.com/article/learning-from-general-word-lists-is-inefficient/

It’s from Learn Chinese the Hard Way blog, which I’ve generally found quite good advice from. So, in light of those ideas, this is what I think I’ll try for a few months.

1. I’m going to continue to go through my 1000-2000 most frequent words flashcards until it’s complete. These cards are based on chinese shows specifically, and I have found them to boost my comprehension noticeably. Pretty much all words I’ve seen in this deck have been useful overall in shows and reading, so I’ll keep studying them. I think they’d be a good “basis” for me to branch out from later (compared to say the HSK 5-6 word lists). Simply because I know this deck will take 1-2 months to learn, which is short, but all the words are likely to pay off because I encounter them a lot daily. They also tend to help in conversations.

2. Keep going through the Remember the Hanzi deck, and or do other things to study and remember characters. I think for many people, simply being able to visually recognize characters makes learning to read easier overall down the road. For me, I think I remember new words way easier when I know the characters in it. So it would pay off in making my future easier.

3. Other then that, really focus on immersing. Lots of reading. In reading, looking up new words as I desire/run into them, hopefully learning them over time. If I desire, I might make some sentence mining sentences flashcards from some reading material. I want to do this for a few months, and use that as my “method” for studying words frequent in my novels (though not necessarily in general overall language high frequency). Then see if over the months this is giving me improvement. Later on, after a few months of this looking-up when reading, I may take sentence mining more seriously. If I do, then I might experiment with using my own self made sentence mining flashcards, and clozemaster. Clozemaster is a general overall frequency based sentence mining app - but I think since it’s sentences, even if learning the words don’t pay off in results as fast as novel-specific words might, the sheer practice of reading in Clozemaster and practicing comprehension in small manageable exercises will help me with reading skills. (Ideally I’d love to go through a Clozemaster track and see if it’s effective for making progress in learning, but I’m too lazy).

4. If, after a few months of simple novels (mostly following foxghosts advice recs), I am seeing improvement, then I would like to try a Priest novel. If Novel-related frequency vocabulary focus is helping, I’d love to prepare for better comprehension of Priest novels in general. (So I guess, ideally, starting a Priest novel this fall sometime).

5. Meanwhile, keep watching shows in chinese. Some with no subs, to improve my listening comprehension. Some with chinese subs, to keep practicing my reading skills (in more managable short chunks). Also I get some reinforcement of sounds with the spelling (I tend to be able to actively produce words in conversations easier if they’re words/phrases I’ve heard a lot). Also, in general, I know more words in dramas than novels, so my comprehension is higher. So it’s easier for me to low effort pick up new vocabulary from context watching shows. So hopefully, though not that many words an episode, over time this easier vocab acquisition will help indirectly with improving my novel reading comprehension a bit.

Right now, novels I’m reading or about to read:

*1. “他们的故事” 一根黄瓜丝儿 - danmei, I like this author a lot, every new word I learn in it is generally pretty common and valuable. It’s a decently short length, at around 50 chapters. It takes about 30 minutes for me to get through a chapter and I’m over 1/5 through it right now. I’d recommend this, it’s enjoyable so far if you like gentle melancholic realism with a simple romantic touch. If you start reading it, please let me know, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

2. 那些年,我们一起追的女孩 - mandarin book club over on Reddit is reading it for July, and it seems the same reading level as the other novels I’m checking out right now. Also it’s quite short at around 30 chapters.

3. “万人厌而不自知” 一根黄瓜丝儿 - another novel by this author. I really like how approachable the author’s writing is. Again, most new words seem very useful to learn in general (and some descriptive words in the opening of this is all about main roles, heroes, villains, good vocab if you’re into stories).

4. “那些风花雪月” 公子欢喜 - danmei, this is from foxghosts recs, said to be pretty approachable if you’re HSK 4 level and I agree. It looks about the same reading level as all of the above novels. This is a novel suggested for working ones way up, eventually, into reading Priest’s novels.

All of these novels I think are very approachable if you’re around HSK 4 in terms of vocabulary and grammar knowledge. I was a little under HSK 4 vocab when I started 他们的故事 when I started and it went fine. And they aren’t too hard to get through if you’re okay with looking things up, as there will be some new vocabulary (though most new words seem pretty useful). I’m reading them with click-definition readers (Pleco, Zhongwen Chrome Extension, MandarinSpot Bookmarklet, ChineseFromZero Reader, LingQ, Idiom app, Language Tools program if on a computer - any would work) and I’d suggest doing that if you want your word-lookup to minimally affect the flow of reading. I am hopeful that once I finish one, the next will get easier and so on.

Also, for even EASIER stories that I should be reading, but am not because I just love skipping ahead into harder stuff I guess:

1. Mandarin Companion books - any of their books, I 100% recommend if you’re HSK 3 or up. I have two, and they both got very readable once I hit HSK 3. At this point for me, they’d be good extensive reading practice. Extensive reading practice is always good.

2. Butterfly Lovers on Pleco. It’s got 500 characters, so it’s very approachable for me at this point. Again, I’d say when I hit HSK 3 level knowledge it would have been a good book to go through and learn a lot. I can still learn a lot, but it’s easy enough now to be mainly extensive reading and guessing words from context (rather than needing the dictionary). Good extensive reading practice at this point. I also like using it as an audiobook, since listening wise it’s very comprehensible to me so it’s good for practicing listening recognition of words I know.

3. 500 and 1000 Word Graded Readers by Sinolingua. There was a study done and Mandarin Companion vocabulary is targeted toward HSK 2-4 people, whereas these Sinolingua books don’t really get approachable until people know about the amount of characters/words in HSK 5. Even the 500 word one. That said, I’m around HSK 4 level and think these books are BOTH super approachable at my level. So it may depend on your personal background. I think regardless the 500 word and 1000 word ones are both a little easier than the Chinese web novels listed above, so these Sonolingua books would be good beforehand practice to ‘ease into’ the books above. These books also have handy glossaries and footnotes so dictionary lookup isn’t necessary, which is convienient.

4. Beginning Chinese Reader by DeFrancis - extensive reading practice, vocab reinforcement and acquisition, and character reinforcement and acquisition. It’s easy, but super useful. I need to chug through this book (and the other ones in this series).

5. 小王子 - The Petit Prince Chinese translation. I greatly recommend. It has something like 2,500 unique words and is SUPER approachable for HSK 4 learners. It’s probably just slightly easier, or the same difficulty, as the web novels listed way above. I should also read this because it’s a great French book I never read... and I have the Chinese, French, English copy. I’ve specifically seen this recommended for Chinese learners getting into reading. Also, while I’m not sure exactly how popular this book is in China, it is popular ENOUGH that I regularly see it mentioned on Weibo and other chinese social media sites I’m on. So it would be nice to know the same experience of the Chinese version of the story, that so many people fell in love with.

Getting out of a speeding ticket for insurance purposes?

Is there a way I can get out of a speeding/failure to meet at a stop sign ticket? I really don't care about paying the ticket or court costs at all, but I just can not, really, really, can not pay the extra insurance money. I am paying out of state tuition AND I am in Architecture. Architecture is SUCH an expensive major. The police officer (whose name I can't even read on the ticket because it is just a scribble) gave me a ticket for speeding and failure to stop at a stop sign. I have always been a great driver, I never speed, I always stop at stop signs, I don't drink/text/talk over the phone and drive, I always have my seatbelt on. This one time I absolutely needed to get home at 2am I decide to go a little faster and yup, of course I get a ticket. I don't want to lie, I was doing 36 on a 20 zone at the time, I admit it even though I honestly did not realize I was going at 36 I didn't' do it on purpose. I didn't think hey I'm just gonna go faster because no one is around , I really honestly did not notice I was going at 36. But I am not sure about the stop sign thing. Honestly I was not paying much attention because I drive through this stop sign everyday but I distinctly remember there was a car already at the stop sign coming from the left so I HAD to stop. There was absolutely no one else coming from any of the four sides, so I might have not stopped completely but I did slow down almost to a stop and then kept going. Then like I said I was going at 36 on a 20 zone. This was at 2 a clock in the morning when there was literally not a soul around. The police officer was practically hiding in a dark, empty parking lot and came out of no where. I really don't want to make excuses for myself. I know what I did was wrong and I'll admit it. But this is my first ticket, and I really don't want t have to pay so much more money on my insurance for a slip as small as this one. My boyfriend was with mi in the car if that means anything. I really don't know, I've never had a ticket before. I've been reading up on how to get out of a ticket, and a lot of people say it is good to talk to the officer, and I thought about doing it but the officer's name is not readable at all. He also completely misspelled my name. In Puerto Rico we use both my father's and mother's last names so I have two last names. Let's say my name is X, my father's last name is Y and my mother's is Z. In Puerto Rico it goes like X Y Z and since my license is from Puerto Rico that is how it is written in my license. But the police officer wrote X Z. So my name is wrong in the ticket. I don't know if that counts for anything, someone told me that if they misspell my name or the officer's it means the ticket is dropped. This seems unlikely but hey, like I said I really have no clue. Again, I don't want to make excuses for myself, but I just can't afford extra insurance costs. I just cant...""

Where to get temporary Health insurance for US Expats having a short visit to the U.S.?

Hi, we are U.S. citizens whose permanent residence is outside the U.S. We have health insurance in the country we reside, but unfortunately that does not cover us outside of the country. We are having a short visit to the U.S. for less than one month and would like to get some basic health insurance for our family. So far, most travel insurance I have found does not cover for travel in a country you are a citizen of (so ironically, we so far have had no luck getting travel insurance for the U.S., since we are U.S. citizens.) Therefore we are in a bit of a quandary. A) we only need insurance for a month and B) we don't need much more than something that covers for emergent or emergency care (i.e. something relatively inexpensive.) Please advise if you have ideas or experience on where we can get insurance.""
