>ungodly abomination that needs to be put down
i really want to see it now

>the king, black magla
that makes sense.

the ghoulish people all just run away at the end though.
where do they go and will they be back?

>>4204
I think that "by definition" I meant that though he looks visually like "an Elda" (having no other traits) he's still a half-blood. Though the game still calls him an Elda all the way until the end which is a bit annoying.

>>4206
I think some of them did die (there's a lot of covered up corpses in Brilehaven and Grand Trad for example). Some of them may have gone rogue, who knows. Maybe they turned into mob human monsters you find in different dungeons.

the game never really gives the player any reason to think trusting others is bad.
no one ever really lets the player down, except maybe some npcs that don't really affect anything.
npcs start acting crazy near the end.
but some of your bonds and even other candidates also go out of their way to help will garner support during that time frame when the npcs are acting crazy and they even successfully calm a lot of them down.
everyone in your party is loyal.
why would the player want to cull all these people?

even when you have to trust a previously antagonistic figure like joanna, the game rewards the main cast.
there was some question of if she'd even show up to do her part at the brilhaven contest but it's quickly resolved.
she even gives her life up because she trusts the main cast to make a better world (and repay her crimes) and i'd say even her trust was rewarded in that will does make a better world even if his world isn't perfect either.

not necessarily saying the game would've been better to just have everyone betraying each other for no reason, but with how the game's story rewards the party for trusting others it's harder to see louis' pov.
he's basically distrusting because he was betrayed twice.
and that's mainly why he wants to cull most the population (the game does also use the crazy npcs in favor of his argument but it's kinda moot since most of the npcs get calmed down by will supporters. i assume everyone who ended up in favor of will was calmed down).
and louis even still had zorba, who'd do anything for him no matter what.

I have lost ALL respect for this dumbass (lovingly)
>>4202
Could be true, Nonners? I'd bet on an imposter tease sometime soon.
I loved how crazy and dramatic things have gotten. I'm glad the leading boys are back.

>>4199
lol sebastian is becoming more and more human and it is so cute to see. he's so silly
yana really went for the bpd ex trope… i giggled the whole chapter especially at ciel wanting to know all about sebastian's contractors. jealousy? ♡

>>4209
It's fun to see people meme on it.

>>8707
what do you call activism in this case?

>>8707
IMO the order doesn't matter as long as they are in character. So like if you have for instance and obsessive fan boy character lusting after his superior you can have him degrade himself and let himself be used by the boss, or you can have him take his obsession too far and come onto his boss for some dubcon.

The most annoying stories are ones where people see a perceived dynamic like bad boy/nerd and warp the characters into caricatures.

>>8705
I'm sorry, nonas. I'll admit I'm a part of the Neutral Menace, but it's not because I think X/Y and Y/X are the same. I am fully aware they're different, and that's part of the fun. In one of my ships, I can't see either of them wanting to top, so I think they have to take turns. Alternatively, due to their personalities, it's very easy to see it working either way. In another case, I think one dynamic makes more sense, but it's the less popular dynamic, so I've had to learn to adapt and appreciate the opposing dynamic even though my preferred dynamic makes way more sense from a characterization standpoint for this ship. For this couple, I've learned why others see it the opposite way, and it's given me a new appreciation for the different ways they can be written. I think it depends a lot on how the characters are written, and as long as they're not OOC, I'm just happy to see my favorite characters together in any capacity lol.

Did anyone else find this one super interesting? I absolutely loved it. My favorite genre of documentary is the kind that focuses on some super niche topic like this. Any recommendations for documentaries that also focus on random subjects?

>>9836
Yes Grizzly Man is great! I'd also recommend the rest of Werner Herzog's documentaries all of them are just random topics he personally finds interesting.

Some really random ones I like…

Atomic Cafe (1982) which is a collection of historic footage and propaganda pieces all about atom bombs. It's pretty funny in a dark sense and uses a lot of juxtaposition.

The People vs. George Lucas (2010) a movie about fringe Star Wars fans and their love-hate relationship with the creator. What's interesting is it was made before the sequel trilogy so the "fringe" and "crazy" fans that are depicted in the film are now the kind of people you would find on youtube.

Screaming in High Heels: The Rise & Fall of the Scream Queen Era (2011) movie about women in B movies. If you like Troma and other low brow trash (like me) you'll get more out of it, but even without that there's also discussion of the B movie business as a whole that's interesting.

Tapped (2009) A movie about bottled water, the business, the environmental impact, and companies attempts to market something you can get for free.

Room 237 (2012) Insane documentary which markets itself as being about interpretations of the film The Shining, but is actually a movie about conspiracy theories and how the human brain has the tendency to see patterns where there are none. If you haven't seen the Kubrick film this one will make no sense though.

>>9833
I don't know what to call this kind of posting but it puts me on the fucking floor every time I trip over it lmao

>>9833
the "jock" is supposed to be based off rm

>>9837
KEK I'd seen the cow Jimin one, but this one is new to me. I'm dying of both laughter and cringe.

worse when you're a low traffic account.

I post hcs, au ideas and occasionally my bad drawings and think- oh wow, someone actually like my- oh it's just Emily Lace @a8nh81028n

They're unbearable on tumblr because the tags I search are often caught up in thirst trap alts

I've gotten some of the "want to illustrate your fanfic" spam from ff.net on my fics from 2006! I wonder how many people they actually get? I imagine it costs next to nothing to run spam bots but there has to be a return on investment right?

>>8696
I have pms disabled on FFN, but they carried over to AO3. I got one on my guest comments allowed work but none of my moderated

and I turned them off on FFN specifically because all of my notifications were those bot alts

More CP in Fujo Venting.

Also reported it. Trying to bump off front page until they can deal with it.

cleaned, we are considering vpn ban implementation to curb the bans, apologies for the delay.

>>4056
These are all great points. I think they definitely must've retconned parts of the first two games' lore.
>Also I don’t think that much time actually passed between 1 and 2.
It's been a long time since I played the first games, but I kind of assumed there was like a 20-30 year time difference, and once you factor in the extra years from Aaron/Aria growing up, I was thinking Cecilia had to be at least 40 by the end of RF2. Again, it's been a long time since I played it, so I'm probably misremembering details. It's probably also colored by my bias in assuming that all elves/half-elves age more slowly.
>a slightly older Candy meets Frey in the rune factory 4 manga
I did not know about this! I'd never read the manga, so that's very interesting. It probably hasn't been that much time, relatively speaking. I never assumed it had been, like, centuries between the first 4 games because of stuff like Ethelberd's reappearance, reoccurring characters, etc. I definitely assumed it had been a few decades, though.
>Then again, maybe being an Earthmates cancels out elfyness seeing as Orland can be 1/4 elf and still gets the elf ears while Aria and Aaron never get a hint of elf if you marry Cecilia. But then Micah isn’t a confirmed Earthmate.
I kind of assumed Micah wasn't an Earthmate, but instead, just a half-monster, which let him be good at the farming stuff. Even if he were 1/2 Earthmate, that would throw a wrench in the "cancels out the other species" theory, considering he still vhas the monster traits. I always thought it was weird they never mentioned if Micah was one, though. It's also strange because Raven is a half-monster and has elf/dwarf-ish ears, but Micah doesn't despite them basically being the same species. I know this is all super trivial and nitpicky on my part. The thing with Aria/Aaron and Orland really bothered me (doubly when we consider that Micah and Daria's or Lest and Meg's kids would be 1/2 elf and still don't look like it), but I personally just attribute the inconsistency with the kids to limited character portraits/in-game assets rather than a definitive statement on lore.

I know it came out at some point that the developers gave the characters in 5 ages and Fuuka was 14. I wouldn’t be surprised if that logic was there from the beginning of the games. Like in 2 especially, even the first generation bachelorettes are awfully young, not just by looks but personality. Julia and Yue give off the oldest vibes, while the rest make me think they are still very new adults (Alicia and Rosalind) or even adolescent (Mana and Dorothy) even their rivals match with Ray and Max acting more mature than Jake and Barrett who both act like angsty teenagers. Mana’s a special case. But I genuinely think she’s meant to be super young seeing as Douglas acts like you’re cradle robbing and it’d be weird to act that way if both Kyle and Mana were 18+ imo. Also Dorothy is definitely young and acts even younger than Amber from 4. This all combined with the Fuuka is 14 data mined stuff makes me believe that the characters in 2 are actually meant to look young to reflect their age and not just for chibi style. With that said I think the time between the end of 1 and start of 4 is about 20 years. Ethelberd looks about 40 in 1 and he’s still pretty spry in 4 but clearly older so 60 would track. I feel like 70 would be too old for him to be kicking around that much unless he’s younger than 40 in 1. Which isn’t impossible but that’s a rough 30s if that’s the case.
>just a half-monster
Also I forget Micah is a half-monster. But you’re right, he’s got normal human ears and if Earthmate canceled out halfness, he’d probably not be one anyway. Still annoys me that the halfness wasn’t addressed in 2 or 4 which had ample time to address it seeing as you only have 1 kid in those and it could be a simple flavor text about half(?)-Earthmate children.
>I'm sorry if my post was unclear.
Oh no I meant it more like the developers are connecting them by making dwarves a different flavor of elves.

I was absolutely devastated to learn that Iwasaki, the character designer, didn’t work on GoA. I hope she returns for 6, but I have my doubts. I’m really hoping they’ll at least do more cameo characters in 6 from the older games like Tabatha, Minerva, or Mei returning. Or even the forgotten Marco.

What's the most humiliating way a guy can be raped by his boss?

>>1053
Boss lies back and bottoms, subordinate does all the work but isn't allowed to come. If he does, no salary.

>>1053
Tough question.
>Guy that used to undeniably be the best employee getting bullied by his boss because he's on the verge of getting completely replaced by a new hire
You could have this from the boss's PoV and maybe, I dunno, he really dislikes the guy, hates knowing that he's his superior yet can't fire him because he is ultimately necessary for the company as things are now. Once the new hire starts, though, he notices how completely overshadowed he is, starts negging everything he does even if the previous level of quality he maintained is still there, starts getting super smug/dickish and """subtly""" implying that he's not #1 anymore and maybe he needs to be moved to a new position to "get his groove back, haha!" Just fueling the guy's insecurity and frustration until it culminates in him flipping out and Boss immediately threatening him with getting fired, or the worker becoming noticeably more dispirited and Boss offering to stay late at the office and help him with work. Things would of course escalate from there.

>>5014
I’ve played it and I also think it’s got a mixed vibe to it. I consider it slightly more bara than yaoi. And I’ll probably consider Jock Studio similarly. But at least it’s not like Japanese bara.

>>5014
Pretty sure it's bara but I've seen some fujos play it.

>>5017
>the fixation on jockstraps
Automatic way to tell if something is for women or gay men honestly, fetish wear in BL is usually crossdressing focused and is stuff like maid outfits and playboy bunny costumes while in bara it's leather harnesses and jockstraps.

>>5009
Feels like yesterday we got the mangafox purge (2010?). I wonder what companies DMCAed. Back then you couldn't do L*breshuppan.

>>5009
Damn. I stopped using mangadex when they changed the ui, but it still sucks to see another manga site having a bunch of works be culled. If anyone’s looking for a general manga site replacement, there’s comick.io. I use it because they tend to post licensed manga, manhwa, and manhua that you sometimes can’t find elsewhere. They have a small amount of bl though and a lot of it is locked behind making an account. It’s not worth it to make an account on comickio for bl imo because most bl is posted on batoto or mrm.

>>5010
Glad I'm not the only one who got mangafox flashback, unfortunately for Kadokawa much like with mangafox this does absolutely nothing to remove the scans from the web.

>>602
The guy playing Akira is way too pretty hahaha

>>581
aryt June is a good way to describe it.
>'I thought I liked girls but actually I prefer the DILF and keep trying to get his attention'
this is exactly how imagined it.

to be honest I think their relationship would be doomed no matter what. I don't think Rolfe was some ignorant youth who was seeking out comradery in politics, and then wrongfully felt down the path of nazism. I think he genuinely believed in the cause, which is why he ends up betraying the Von Trapp family in the end. Rolfe would still betray them, even if his affections weren't unrequited.

>Although Von Trapp is part of the Navy, so I wouldn't mind seeing him trying to 'teach the boy a lesson' about how sex between men goes, in hopes that it will make him less likely to pursue, only to spur Rolfe on.
nonny I'm obsessed!!!! omg thats hot
>>582
Glad that I could share my thoughts!

Don't mind me, just reviving the thread to post more LoA art.

Watched Secret Window (2004) and Mort and Shooter should have had fucked up selfcest

Getting into the strokes, after my older sister gave me her CDs

OP here.

Sorry. Firstly, I ended up getting a scholarship and going off to a nice place. Secondly, FC was down for a while.

That said, I finished Zeta with irl buddies, and FC wasn't missing out. There were a few episodes with gay, and a lot more without gay.

That said, I still want to watch more Gundam with y'alls. Currently considering CCA as the motherlode of homo, but I've also heard promising stuff about Seed and 00. Would also be up for a rewatch of the OG series.

To make things easier to plan, would people be ok with running this via a discord server, or would anons prefer full anon and just having it planned here?

>>8641
Discord - NOT EVEN ONCE

Just post your thoughts here. The series doesn't matter - I've seen most of Gundam.

>>8641
Congrats on starting college nonna!

I prefer here personally the site you were using last time worked well.
