I was going for a “WOAAAAHHH OH NO!!!” sort of look for the infantry, and luckily it came out that way. Just kidding!

Luckily I’ve learned a lot since I started the hobby, and I can confirm that the wash technique works great. I got a good laugh when I finally had room to display my models and took a close up photo for the first time in years.

How would you explain the need for three writing systems in Japanese to a person who only has had experience with one?

As an English speaking person who recently got into learning Japanese, I was intrigued by the use of the three writing systems: Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana, however I could not truly understand why it is that way. I do know a bit about the history of these languages but that is not what I am interested in knowing; I wish to...

saltnotsugar,

These three systems basically formed a Voltron of language if you will. Hiragana is commonly used to make up most of the sentence structure, katakana is commonly used for foreign words, and Kanji is most commonly used for nouns.

With their powers combined they make up sentences. As for the why, it largely has to do with tradition and history. Korean has shifted to a more easy to read/understand writing system, but in Japan it is much harder to do something like read a newspaper. Why? Because you either know the Kanji or you don’t. There is no sounding it out.

There are lots of exceptions to when to use certain writing systems. For example, sushi can be written like 送信, すし, or スシ in advertisements. I asked a Japanese friend about it and he basically said it just depends.

Once upon a time I was dating a normal lady, but when she decided to break up with me, I kept finding out wacky information.
-Wacky part 1: Okay, so she decides to break up with me via a friend…’s text. Now we were dating for over a year and we’re not 13, so this was unexpected. Also I had just bought her a plane ticket to meet my parents with me. We would be on separate planes but I was excited. She was indeed serious about breaking up via her friend…’s text. (Sad music here, or polka! I don’t care.)
-Wacky part 2: It had been months but I was getting over her. Through a post I see that not only had she been cheating with me, it had been going on for months while we dated. (Sad trombone music here, this is actually required by audit.)
-Wacky part 3 (The fuckining): So remember the plane ticket? She actually used it to see the guy she was cheating on me with, who turns out, lives quite close to the airport near my parents. I get this little tidbit a few months later. (Sensible techno music)
