No. I could have missed who she was when we first met, and the first few years we had together, but I absolutely do not miss who *I* was at that time, so no thanks even to the nostalgia.

The only reason why ppl feel sorry for Vaye/Valle is because he's drawn to be handsome.

I kind of like when artists draw genuinely awful characters to be physically attractive, because it really shows how much more tolerant readers are towards that kind of behaviour when the one doing it looks good.

It helped immensely, honestly in a life-changing way. A bit of background: when I was a kid the dynamics between my parents led to my siblings and I being raised with a combination of contempt and neglect on some days, emotional dependence on others, with a constant underlying tension of nervous anxiety. Nothing was ever good enough; important dec......

Mostly working. I'm teaching a summer course so I won't actually have any free time until late July. Aside from that I have work trips to Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, and then Finland again. I'm already exhausted just thinking about it, because travelling for work sounds a lot more fun in theory than it is in reality. When I do manage to hav......

Curating a physical collection is not performative, it's what you care about and want to preserve. There's no telling for how long the manga will be available online, after all, since we're all sliding into a subscription economy where we pay for temporary access, not ownership. Buy those books!

I'm fine, but... I'm grading the reports of students so that they would know what they got for their final research papers on Monday. There is one student who I know could have performed so much better, but because the paper he submitted isn't so good, I can't give him the overall course grade that I honestly think would reflect his level of knowle......

I think your feelings make perfect sense. It's hard to try and want to believe in something, and then you look all around you at the people who claim to be practicing the same religion, only to be disappointed by them and their conduct at every turn. I see people skipping over the part where you say you don't want to stop being religious. I will a......

I think you should be open about the reason they stripped you of the title, but bring it up as a funny "oh well, this will be a funny anecdote for a LinkedIn post". It's important that people do not realize how much this hurt you.You can even include it as a story in your personal essay, framing it as how you managed to overcome and motivate yours......

the way some maids be acting in these manhwas really get on my nerves.

Anyway! I don't think the relationship between MC and the professor is romantic. I think the build up so far between them is more towards making them sibling-esque. I think the ML will be Gilles.

That said, the professor's fiance allowing her maid to treat MC badly just isn't a good look, lol.

so at first I was hella worried about what if Bada doesn't make it through. Then I started overthinking and am now wondering if this is a trick by the author to make us so worried about Bada that we will all be blindsided when Bada survives but DOHA doesn't.

pls I need both of them to make it out together

It’s endlessly hilarious to me how when all we knew about him was his face, everyone loved her bio dad. Now the more we know him folks be like “sir go home

Have you considered that you might be genderfluid? It doesn't have to be binary or static, after all. Plus, give yourself the grace, time, and space to simply explore without pressure. If you feel like a male, explore that a bit without announcing it to anyone. If you feel like something else might fit better, explore that too. We all continue to ......
YES

FUCKING EXACTLY!!!!

sob

okay but why did i cry a lil

Also it's so good to see Eve be more decisive and assertive. Like yeah, I wish he'd grow physically too, but seeing his personality develop is such a treat as well.

sorry but joking about dating your sibling is weird, no matter how unserious you are about it. Weirdo.
