And yet, they turned out to be more similar than I had realised they were both thoughtful, considerate and caring, just that they had different ways of showing it. Whereas Lilly was thoughtful, measured and poised, Shizune was all spontaneity and passion. For instance, I used to think of Lilly and Shizune as opposites. Having the benefit of experience, I found it really interesting to replay the game with a deeper understanding of everyone’s character and backstory. After the second heart attack, I literally said (between choking on tears), “Lilly, Lilly, it’s so fucking good to see you again.” What a rollercoaster. Let me tell you, the feels hit me harder than I was ready for. It’s such a passionate and largely wholesome community, and I’m blown away (and a little intimidated) by the dedication of the artists, musicians, authors and appreciators who give so freely of themselves.Īnyway, I downloaded the game again and worked my way through Lilly’s path like I said I would three years ago. Plus, discussions around the soundtrack have got me listening to (and playing piano arrangements of) the score again. The group is a celebration of many of the best parts of KS, and I’ve been so grateful to encounter so much amazing fanart and to see so many people posting for Hanako’s birthday.

There’s this special connection I have with so many strangers around the world, and it’s been wonderful finding that KS has meant as much (or more) to others as it has to me. I discovered a facebook group that I had never thought to look for, and have found it to be one of the greatest sources of joy in my social media experience.

I was curious to see if my blog was somehow one of the most popular KS blogs on the internet, so I googled it started reading a bunch of other blogs.
