almost all the time.

Yeah. A lot of the time during my depressive episodes I seek out dark stuff to cope and to vent and I'm enjoying it, but suddenly a switch inside of my head is triggered by some certain thing. Like something hits too close to home and I don't have the personal detachment from the work anymore.

I make it a rule not to read doujinshi of series or ships I'm unfamiliar with, but today I gave into the urge. Too bad I don't want to get into the main series since at least half of it on paper is not my vibe. Oh well.

I had mixed feelings at first but the muscular designs really grew on me. They'll definitely come back so here's hoping we get an incest episode with the two. If Scanty and Kneesocks had one back in season 1, why not Polyester and Polyurethane?

So was the rainbow pissing thing in the last episode of Panty and Stocking a Boku No Pico reference or is that like a common japanime trope?

Cute. I really like them.

This is why I don't understand those TIFs. If you say you are a man in a female body, why are you identifying as weak men who act no different from women? That's how you can tell its an act from their part for sure.

At least to me it always seems like a complex of wanting to still be as femme as they want, but without attracting any straight male attention. Like, as if growing a beard/removing your chest or just simply slapping a he/him label on your tits out photo is a magic shield that will do that. News flash, as soon as a man can tell you've got a vag, he will treat you differently than he would another man and you can't do shit about it.

I think I posted about this recently, but it happened again with a different author where there was untagged vagina on the uke. What kinda factory are these assholes coming from where they don't tag their hetbend in any capacity? It feels like every time I go into my otp's tag with my thousands of excluded tags, there's always a new troonfic that leaks through because they don't tag it. It sucks that they also aren't that popular (especially in the western side, but even in the asian side) so I'm stuck with what occasionally gets published. I know I should just write my own shit, but I still haven't finished the media they're from and I get imposter syndrome any time I try writing anything for something I haven't finished even though I'm sure some of the people writing my otp probably haven't touched the series at all.

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.

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.

necroing this thread with a hilarious bit from an untranslated dj lmao

How the fuck is this only the second or third zombie fic I’ve read I am so fucking turned on right now kill me

A beer, music and translated foreign slashfic. Why do people even bother dating when shit can get this good alone?

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.

The DCBurger portraits are pretty good if you want to ignore the original ones. There's plenty of replacement mods out there on PC.

>>10746
I also started playing it. Decided to start a single player save cause I’ve been playing vanilla with my friend but I wanted to try out some mods.
>>10752
I found out the anime portrait mod has an unofficial update that completed the 1.6 update, so now I get cute boys all around, including no-mustache Harvey.

I've been playing a pokemon fangame called pokemon Sage. I just met the secondary rival character and I like him already. He's a smug bastard (affectionate).
>>10746
I went for Sebastian. I find him the most attractive and I vibe with his personality too.

>>10823
Everyone looks so edgy and cool and then Clear’s just being so cute and cutting his apples

Erika's real, she's just a girl who got into a plane crash and probably drowned near rokkenjima.

>>10850
My bad it was actually her falling overboard on a boat, more or less the same thing though.

>>10850
Sorry, I meant Erika as she appears in the story. As in, the Erika whose personality is depicted within the text. The character herself, like you said, died before the plot, so the Erika we see within the story isn't "real." I don't know how else I can explain it, but hopefully you understand what I mean.
