Burger King has consistently been the worst of the big burger chains for years now. McDonald's, however, has reached a price point where I don't want to pay that much for that middling quality. Taco Bell.

Ran Ran Ru has contributed far more to the 00s internet zeitgeist than Sneak King.

I was talking about as a character instead of as an icon. Ran Ran Ruu got me into Touhou lol.

Realistically speaking though what do we have for Ronald's personality. He has a dope clubhouse and can take you to different worlds. Do we consider M.U.G.E.N canon?If so he might be a God amongst men.

>what do we have for Ronald's personality
He could just be a cutie patootie honest guy

Can you explain why you think so? I never watched it and wanted to at one point for the same reason but I don't want to get invested in a series that's not really that good. And I heard it's not even finished, it was cancelled or something like that.

>>3871
>Great fanworks can be very convincing lol.
Yes it is!! another show I began watching because of the BL prospects is "The Devil Judge", it has some very nice homoero moments and the plot in fairly interesting, I would recommend it!

>>3876
Sure thing! Well the premise is very interesting as it is based on the character Hannibal Lecter but in this universe he is a psychotherapist and his (in my fujo eyes) love prospect is a tiny whiny and autistic (literally) university professor turned criminal profiler named Will. The main plot is pretty much Will and Hannibal going around crime scenes helping the FBI catch these serial killers with very unusual modus operandis, while Hannibal withholds dark secrets and Will is almost literally going full schizophrenic.

My criticism falls on the phasing of the events, they get very muddy very fast, they're almost running and rushing to the next serial killer that we can't really digest everything that's going on because of all the sub-plots that are happening. Also some sub-plots from the beginning stay present at odd times throughout the main events and sub events, so it can get confusing. Also it is dialogue heavy and sometimes it can get cheesy in a tumblr ways lol. I wouldn't say is boring per se just sort of scatterbrained in a way I can't sit and enjoy the meat of it.

Personally I really liked this characterisation of Lecter and the way he behaves with Will; how he stares deeply into his eyes, how he playfully analyzes Will's stupid ass while he is being a cry baby, when he tells him dinner wouldn't be the same without him, he even sniffs him in one scene (I really liked that) but sadly these moments are so few and far in-between, specially as the series goes on.

If you wanna give it a try you could watch the first episode to give yourself an idea of the vibe and movement of the show. I'm almost at the end of the first season (13 episodes) right now and besides a kung fu styled fight between two serial killers and the few homoero moments nothing too excited has happened. The cinematography when Hannibal is cooking is gorgeous tho! and Will looks nice while he is suffering deeply from his slipping sanity and can only confine in Hannibal.

Hey that's fucking awesome and a great achievement!! Keep it up Nonnie!

What anime cards are you using? I'm struggling with kanji so ridiculously hard that it's sabotaging my studying completely, I just can't seem to memorize them.

>>3766
I'm using jpdb with its mpv mining plug in instead of anki out of convenience. Have you learnt radicals yet? Making a mnemonic out of a kanjis radicals + immediately learning a word that uses a kanji is typically how I go about it.

NTA but back in the day people overshared just as much and acted dumb about things, it just wasn't that in your face as it is now due to everyone being forced in close proximity with each other. Back then Livejournal communities and forums mostly consisted of people who were on the same page due to their interests matching up but now you have to interact with all sorts of assholes you normally wouldn't pay any mind to.

What helped with me cleaning up my social media feed for example was a one-strike rule, if you tweet anything to do with identity politics I will unfollow. No matter if it's things that I even agree with, it gets tiring because when I want to discuss politics I do it on my own terms in places other than social media. An occasional post when it's topical is fine, but not constant soapboxing. Now I mostly get cool people, fandom talk and art on my feed.

>>3601
That rule of yours makes sense. I deleted all of my social media to get away from it. If I restart I'll follow this method.

After I returned to social media in yearly summer 2022 (I use only twitter & tumblr and nothing else), I've been doing exactly what you've said. None of the people I follow talk about politics, and we share art together and talk about fandom stuff. All of the people who like and share my things are people who don't engage in politics and it makes me so happy. I feel like I've returned to the early internet.
I have never talked about politics on the internet and if twitter recommends me something related to it I ignore it or press not interested in this tweet.

No it's ok. I'm >>3553 and I don't find the idea of crossdressing 2d moids offputting per say. I could understand the dynamic of a man pretending to be a woman for the sake of story telling (obviously i don't want trannyshit). But have you seen how moids interpret those dynamics in the first place? We could have a 2D trap character (I still don't like traps) have at least an interesting story going for him but you know very well what moids will do with him. It all reminds me of Astolfo, I heard he wasn't that bad of a character to begin with but after seeing how dirty moids treated him it just made me put off so awfully by this character. Each time I see astolfo all I can think of is all that disgusting moid art. It's like the straighest form of gay there is. I don't even know how to explain it myself.
And when you see these same moids trying to emulate that porn sick art IRL it just comes off as deeply and autistically porn rotten.

>>3556
I get exactly where you're coming from, characters like Astolfo have been done incredibly dirty by a lot of pornsick men. He is a fun character, but a lot of people just treat him as a futa-like sex symbol. It is indeed a very straight form of "yaoi."

To make it worse a lot of people who draw these characters aren't even fans of the original work. You know how porn artists will draw characters like Morrigan even if they've never played Darkstalkers? That's the vibe I get with a lot of his "fans." It is too bad, I like the Fate series and he's fun in everything I've seen him in, but my immediate associations are that garbage and its tainted him for me too.

>>3553
I hate when traps are drawn in this off-model/OOC coomer style. What is enjoyable about a character is almost never translated into NSFW drawn by male hands. Maria Holic is a fun show!

>>3554
EXACTLY

Thanks for sharing this nonna, I can't believe it… Nura's face omg why is he so cute

>>3373
Happy new year anons! 2022 was a rollercoaster for me, entirely in a negative way, I hope 2023 won't be as bad.

I'M LATE BECAUSE OF VACATION but happy new year to you all nonas!!! I love you and I love this site!!

>>3295
That's great! be sure to let me know what you think of it over here.

It's one of the funniest manga I've read, the charecters bounce off each other so well.
