Nothing makes me sadder than thinking about the LJ days and then looking at a horde of 19-25 yos on Discord. Its hard to find fandom friends as you get older.

I'm sorry for your loss.
I miss roleplaying so much. My last rp partner kept giving me one-sentence replies and nothing to work with. It was so fucking annoying. People have become generally more antisocial and uncreative…
Honestly, it might've been easier to still find rp's if forum sites didn't die out. I think dA still has their forum so maybe you gotta chance looking there?

Damn, it's so over for me I'm 26 and a neet who's never been able to make a real friend (most of my 'friends' have been more like acquaintances I would try to get to know them, but they've never reciprocated, so the relationship died out. And my old online friends just stopped coming online.) I've been wanting to change, but it's looking grim…

I am a bit disappointed fans are abandoning AMVs in favour of tiktok and instagram edits. I admit some of the edits are pretty impressive but they just don't have soul.

I'm not sure were to post this because there is no gaming or vn board but have you played this series? I saw it being recommended by some moids on /v/ I clicked the link, downloaded the version with all the content and yeah it's very, fun.

If you want to play it, it shouldn't be a hard find at all.

Agreed. They've got enough sponsors that I assume it's a case of them trying to cast a wide net for profit but it's still unfortunate. I called it the circus but alternatively it's like taking a pleasant walk in the sunshine but you keep having to walk around dog shit on the pavement.

Underused jobs in BL Anonymous 02/13/26 (Fri) 17:20:37 No.12932 [Reply]

Figured this is best in OT.
Certain careers are overrepresented in BL, such as sports, boybands, and salarymen. But what are some lesser used jobs with homoerotic potential that you would like to see (or see more of)?
This can also include ones which are more common to see in gay male targeted media, such as sailors or cowboys.
Pic is not super relevant but found it cute and didn't have any anime boy pictures that would work.

>I think I trained my brain to really like kannushi and Heisan court robes
Aside from Onmyoji adaptations and HikaSai, I'm always thirsty for more Heian courtier BL. The poetry culture is fun and everyone was having affairs all the time, plus that one diary confirms that there were at least some men fucking. I've always been fascinated by the idea of a male writing poetry pretending to be a woman and it wouldn't even be hard for him to keep it up when visited if he sat behind a screen.

I'm a huge fan of westerns. I can just see like, some bounty hunters ala For A Few Dollars More getting some tip that some pony express guy is carrying some letter with information, and now they're all trying to hunt him down. He can hook up with the brooding Clintwood stand-in, who is out to protect him.

Every past era is historical to me. WWII is certainly historical but why shouldn't the Vietnam war or Berlin wall related stories be considered historical?

To be honest I am interested in all periods no matter which, including cave men. Though I will most likely avoid Victorian age stuff unless it's a manga about the Firth of Tay Bridge or something.
I would call everything historical that involves eras or conflicts that are mostly concluded. So the current invasions aren't historical to me, at least not as long as they last, but the Balkan war is, even though it just ended a few decades ago.

Hmm… Even though it wasn't even 100 years ago, I would say it counts as historical. It seems to be something that's based in the real world and focuses on accuracy, so…

Could anyone give me tips on physical doujin/manga scanning? I have a bunch of doujins collected that'd I'd like to share on exhentai, but I'm kinda lost and worried that I'll do it wrong. I've tried looking for tons of tutorials on the matter, and most of them are outdated or not very in depth. The biggest issue I have is cleaning and leveling, especially color pages- some pages I accidentally mess up while debinding.

Would people prefer raw scans uploaded instead if I have no idea what I'm doing?

With a possible twitter exodus approaching, do you think we'll see a new rise of smaller communities coming forward? The return of tumblr, using dreamwidth/lj, someone creating their own fandom alternative, this site actually coming to life.
Not just smaller communities rising, but a possible change in fandom thought again now that the twitter extremists might go away?

Anybody who was even remotely active back when strikethrough happened and the following decade of troubles migrated to dreamwidth and/or Ao3. IMO the only things that are in danger are inactive accounts/communities with images/fics that were never put anywhere else and kinkmemes with mostly anon/anon account writers.

China buying it would be very funny. It's been a Russian asset for so long I don't think it would have any viability as a vector for whatever propaganda they'd use it for, although typing this does remind me of the people who were shipping the Russian and Chinese guy in those posters over in /rps/ lmao

I used the Tofugu guides+quiz to learn hiragana and katakana and dropped $200 on the Wanikani lifetime sale to hold myself accountable with kanji lol (I've read that Anki is free and has a similar function and I will add it to the rotation when I feel more grounded). I also downloaded the free textbook .pdfs on Tofugu to my ipad to learn to write (harder than I thought it would be!) which also reinforces the memorization.
