Can't Help Falling: Chapter 39
IT LIVES!!! Happy early KaraKaraKara Day Word Of The Day: “Engraft” - to firmly attach something onto something else Idiom Of The Day: if something “doesn’t agree with” a person, it causes them physical discomfort
6 minutes | Jun 8, 2020
Can't Help Falling: Chapter 38
(Content warning: starvation and suicidal thoughts) The climax is up next and it might take a while because the next two chapters are absolute behemoths of audio files that’ll take ages to edit; be patient and read ahead if you want Japanese Word Of The Day: “Obon” - a holiday focused on remembering one’s ancestors and late family members, when the spirits of the dead are said to visit English Word Of The Day: “Scornful” - filled with contempt, hatred or disrespect https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16835066
2 minutes | Jun 8, 2020
Can't Help Falling: Chapter 37
(Content warning: fasting/starvation) Fun fact, this takes place right before the last scene of chapter 21 Word Of The Day: “Abate” - lessen; decrease; lose its grip https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16835036
4 minutes | Jun 8, 2020
Can't Help Falling: Chapter 36
this is fine.jpg Word Of The Day: “Farce” - a ridiculous act; a facade (also a genre of absurd and fast-paced comedy theatre) https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16835015
7 minutes | Jun 5, 2020
Can't Help Falling: Chapter 35
major volume warning from 2:10 to 3:00 Word Of The Day: “Unbidden” - uninvited; unexpected https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16810576
7 minutes | Apr 2, 2020
Can't Help Falling: Chapter 34
Content warnings: vomiting and vivid description of a panic attack Word Of The Day: “Unglued” - to come unglued is to lose all sense of stability and rationality
6 minutes | Mar 20, 2020
Can't Help Falling: Chapter 33
Content warning: mentions of non-consensual drug use (pardon my wrong pronunciation of the drug in question, I’ve been on fluoxitine for well over a decade so that’s all I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) English Word Of The Day: “Squander” - to waste something Japanese Word Of The Day: an “omiai” or “marriage interview” is basically Japan’s variation on arranged marriage (if you’ve seen Aggretsuko season 2 you know what’s up) https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16787515
4 minutes | Mar 17, 2020
Can't Help Falling: Chapter 32
nice Bart the Murderer reference Word Of The Day: “Marionette” - a puppet, usually one controlled by strings https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16787482
6 minutes | Mar 13, 2020
Can't Help Falling - Chapter 31
Here it is, the chapter I warned you about before - again, no hard feelings if you wanna skip a few chapters and/or read the traditional way for a bit Word Of The Day: "Medieval" - as an adjective, it means cruel and old-fashioned https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16764670
6 minutes | Mar 6, 2020
Can't Help Falling: Chapter 30
Content warning: mention of parent death and background barking (we’ll just say Matsuri’s neighbours have a dog I guess) Word Of The Day: “Modicum” - a small measurement; tiny bit https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16764658
8 minutes | Mar 2, 2020
Can't Help Falling: Chapter 29
Content warning: vomiting Idiom Of The Day: to “miss the memo” is to be unaware of something that’s considered obvious Word Of The Day: “Parse” - to think carefully; analyze (not to be confused with “pass”) https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16740946
6 minutes | Feb 21, 2020
Can't Help Falling - Chapter 28
while editing Chapter 25 I discovered Audacity’s “fade in/fade out” function and I’ve been having way too much fun with it ever since Word Of The Day: “Reprieve” - rest; downtime; a break https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16721026
7 minutes | Feb 21, 2020
Can't Help Falling - Chapter 27
In which the fic proves itself to not only be an excellent story, but excellent meta on the Osomatsu-san fandom (circa 2016-17 anyway) Japanese Word Of The Day: “Karaage” - Japanese fried chicken, basically English Word Of The Day: “Austerity” - sternness; coldness https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16720999
20 minutes | Feb 20, 2020
Can't Help Falling: Chapter 26
(Content warning: moderate injury) I guess you could say Karamatsu’s life has become a Misery Japanese Word Of The Day: “Oyakodon” -  a dish made with chicken and eggs (“oyako” means “parent and child”. The Japanese have a dark sense of humour) Idiom Of The Day: “knock yourself out” - almost always used sarcastically, it basically means “have fun with this thing I don’t care about” English Word Of The Day: “Grievously” - severely; disastrously https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16699354
6 minutes | Feb 7, 2020
Can't Help Falling - Chapter 25
Quick PSA: “you don’t consent to this now, but you will in the future” is an excellent example of how NOT to consent check. The author gets it (as does Karamatsu) Word Of The Day: “Disconsolate” - hopeless; impossible to console https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16676287

Can't Help Falling - Chapter 24
This story arc (and chapter 31 in particular, just so you’re on your toes) may be triggering to survivors of abuse (particularly being held somewhere against one’s will). If this (or anything else mentioned in the fic’s Ao3 tags) is a sensitive subject for you, now would be a good time to read the traditional way so you can skip over any particularly rough parts Word Of The Day: “Purchase” - means “buy” of course, but this chapter uses another, less common meaning: “support; stability” (think “perch”) https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16676251
14 minutes | Feb 2, 2020
Can't Help Falling - Chapter 23
“A perfect stranger says one nice thing to you and suddenly you think you’re in love.” - Todomatsu, chapter 2 (there’s some background wind and car noise here but at least it kind of fits for the setting of this chapter... and oh, in case it’s not clear: chronologically, this picks up where chapter 15 left off. non-linear narratives are fun) Word Of The Day: “Immoderately” - to an insane degree; the opposite of “moderately” https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16653193
15 minutes | Jan 30, 2020
Can't Help Falling: Chapter 22
I was extremely proud of Choromatsu last chapter but in this one, I admit I want to slap some sense into him. Come on, man, which is worse: breaking and entering, or… well, you’ll see Word Of The Day: “Headway” - progress, basically https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16631788

Can't Help Falling: Chapter 21
It’s a Kara-smas miracle!!! You’ll be glad to know I’ve had all the remaining chapters recorded for a while now, just need to edit it – the culprit behind the year-long hiatus was a particular Choromatsu line in this chapter that I wanted to get just right and recorded a ton of takes for. Now I’ve finally picked one, enjoy and look forward to the second half of this project in 2020 Word Of The Day: “Timbre” - the tone of one’s voice. Not to be confused with “timber” (wood) https://archiveofourown.org/works/7161263/chapters/16608739
14 minutes | Nov 9, 2018
Can't Help Falling: Chapter 20
This chapter’s one of my favourites, both for the gradually-unraveling mystery and the intermittent bits of quality Choromatsu content Word Of The Day: “Trimester” - one third of an academic year (or pregnancy but it’s obvious which they’re talking about)
