I've been thinking about this post but couldn't remember which thread it was in. I wanted to ask
>that worldbuilding autismo factor
What is this to you, nona, and can you think of a reason why Tourabu doesn't fit? Honestly I think I know what you mean and mostly agree, but that's why it's bothered me that I can't explain it. Is it that the historical events/characters are too rigid? But the franchise does bizarre shit like turning one into a possessed zombie puppet and making Okita momentarily a demon catboy.

I've made my own stories set in the universe, with saniwa OCs to ship about and my own elaborate takes on how Time Gov operate and its bureaucracy, but I've never felt that I could invent a swordboy OC. That part feels beyond me. Which is really markedly different from stuff like KemoFure and MLP where it was very easy to throw whatever the fuck fun colors you wanted together and not worry, those were incredibly freeing and inspired many people to participate.

Ignoring that element, I think Tourabu was never facilitated to take off in the west, so the types of people who'd make endless fanworks and prompt others to want in on things didn't appear. Once people learned of it, the character roster was already big enough to put off newcomers who already don't know Japanese history. Japan-side you have huge numbers of doujinshi and elaborate world building guides for people's individual honmaru, as well as multibook AUs and all sorts. But if you never got into swordboys you'd have no idea these existed.

Yeah, just putting in the author's note "written for fujochan prompt challenge" is enough to get the name in there. The collection name can keep it short with "FC (whatever)" so the focus is still on the activity. If it's too heavily labelled people might pass it by because they aren't part of the group, you want them to read first and check where it came from second.

>If you go on reddit, they have this weird saying about a Nazi bar. Basically, any 4channer is a literal devil because they don't group police other 4channers.
The hypocrisy is astounding. Plebbit is full of degrading porn, yet the average Plebbitor thinks itself innocent and not burdened with guilt by association.

Any progress updates?

A text dump? Where?

A few months ago I thankfully discovered this via crystal cafe. Blessed to find this safe haven, but then I had to reboot my phone and forgot what this website was called because I visited once (lol) spend a hour where tf I found this website and went to the cc thread and found it again. It’s like discovering lc all over again, I’m feeling absolute bliss.

through a search engine while looking up something else. Got interested, and here i am

>"Day after day, night after night, their shadows intertwined on the training grounds"
It doesn't help that Ravion regularly "pranks" Indris by getting him drunk despite knowing Indris will end up hugging him.

Kimika totally gave fujo vibes.

I just saw an Aoba yume in the wild. Yume whoever you want I guess but are you sure you want to yume the patron saint of taking any kind of dick in his ass as much as possible, really? Is this like "I can make him straight" fix-it?

this is from jkk stageplay, huge win for fujos butI feel bad for the top geto truthers, cause like how do you recover from this?

It's kind of bullshit that Osamu Dezaki called yaoi and yuri unrealistic fantasies but directed a yuri anime anyway

Stay strong little kitty, you'll find the BB fans.

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.

You went above and beyond! Thank you! It's so hard to find good documentaries, and I'll definitely check out all of the ones you listed. I hate being let down by an interesting premise. There was one documentary I tried to watch a long time ago about how a woman lied about surviving 9/11, and worked her way up to becoming president of the World Trade Center Survivors' Network before getting caught. Somehow, they managed to turn this very interesting subject into something way more boring. It wasn't bad, but it had the potential to be so much better.
>I'd also recommend the rest of Werner Herzog's documentaries
I love all of Werner Herzog's documentaries that I've watched. I love his perspective, and he has such a unique style. That one clip of him talking about the chicken cracks me up.
>Screaming in High Heels: The Rise & Fall of the Scream Queen Era (2011)
This one sounds really cool, as I've also watched a lot of B-movies and garbage of that nature. I actually know nothing about the industry, so I'm excited to learn.
>Tapped (2009)
I just watched this one because of your recommendation, and it's so fascinating! It's personally interesting to me for reasons I can't really detail, but this is a great recommendation. I wish more people were aware of this.
>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.

This sounds like my favorite type of thing. I've never watched The Shining despite loving horror movies because I hate Stephen King. Maybe I'll have to finally watch The Shining just so I can enjoy this documentary! Kubrick did direct one of my all-time favorite movies, and I like a lot of his work, so it won't be too much of a chore.

I really love princely characters with light, usually platinum blonde, hair like Eichi or Tadase. It's such a particular trope but they always look so clean and pure and otherworldly especially with the white horse imagery.
