Talk:Red thread of fate

Japanese belief?
From what I know, it's an ancient Chinese belief that people are tied with red strings.... I'm going to do some research. --Wirbelwind ヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 01:43, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I am only familiar with it from references to it in anime and manga, if it originates from China (so do a lot of Japanese myths) the please add this info with the proper references. --GracieLizzie 10:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know where it originated from, but an ancient myth in China has it, as google will show. However, I didn't find anything solid that I can reference. --Wirbelwind ヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 17:16, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Here's a site that says "The origin of this concept is somewhat up in the air, with people claiming many different countries of origin and/or religions for it (Japan, China, various European nations, Judaism, Buddhism, and many others), but the usage is clear regardless." --Wirbelwind ヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 17:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The version I heard was that the red string was attached to the person's little finger, and that it could even be reincarnated with a person's soul. --Minako-chan27 (talk) 11:46, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The Chinese myth I was told by my folks is that it is attached to the ankle. Pinky seems to be a pop/romanticized development, though I can't claim that.  The TV Trope is a wiki, which contradicts itself stating that it originates in China but also has claim to various other regions and countries.  A few resources I've seen online (which don't pass for reliable sources, unfortunately) describe the thread as tying a couple's feet together or otherwise being connected at the feet.  Somehow, the pinky aspect is more prominent in Japanese pop culture media.Luminum (talk) 16:16, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Psycho-tier stories
What the hell are these psycho-tier stories? They aren't romantic at all and involve people trying to hurt or murder their "soulmate". Aren't there any better, more romantic, examples? 89.150.199.13 (talk) 07:16, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
