I paid 120 for new shoes New Balance 550' because I'm standing all day and my feet hurt so much do yall know any good shoes for standing long times and cheap

I want to play strdew valley but I'm fucking broke af, need some other offline games that makes me want to spend and entire day playing it

I’m sad

I am soooo heartbreakingly sad

In fact I’m incredibly sad to the point I can’t see the bright positive light of the future days to come.

I need recommendations for something utterly gut wrenching, traumatic, and just something so terribly sad that IM gonna think about how *that* story was so sad and not how i’m feeling sad af.

Have y'all ever read a story on here, and while listening to music, it feels like that song was made specifically for that story?

Personally for me it was when I just caught up with the manhwa "A child who looks like me" and I was listening to X Room by Xdinary Heroes and realized the lyrics and mood of the song matched up scarily perfectly with the story.

But enough about me, I wanna know what you guys think!

anyone hiring here. im desperate help ya girlie out huhuhu

What's been pissing me off recently (and since forever) is some people's inability to hold mangakas accountable for things that *they've* written in their manga. And while I'm going to talk about manga/anime, this could hold true to korean/chinese media too, its just that I feel more comfortable critiquing Japanese media, as I grew up consuming it my whole life, and am half Japanese.

This is particularly true when it comes to the anime community, which in itself is a bit toxic, because so many western fans refuse to hold Japanese mangakas to the same standard as they would to any other normal person. They often use excuses like '[Mangaka] didn't know any better' or 'But in Japan, they don't know about it' or even the god-forsaken noncey line 'But in the Japan, the legal age of consent is-'. The last one pisses me off the most, because of how stupid it is. The legal age of consent in a country should not be the cutoff line for an adult person's age of attraction, and I'm sick of people arguing so. (Esp when grown ass middle aged men talk abt 'the youngest theyll go is 18' but we all know they only say that bcs the law doesnt let them go any younger)

Of course, you cant expect to hold people of another country to the exact same standards of your own, but this is about geniune common fucking sense. Mangakas are usually grown adults, and shall be treated as such. They do not need to be babied by anyone just of their ethinicity. They know damn well and good in this day and age when they write a piece of fiction that includes racist/sexist undertones, or scenes that are outright fucking nuts. They are, once again, GROWN ADULTS and can complete their own research to know if what they are writing is problematic.

This isnt about a particular mangaka, manga or anime, but just a buildup of annoyance. It also doesnt help when the manga and anime industry are built to protect predators, and even allow them to continue creating manga under pseudonyms, despite knowing that the person is a convicted criminal.

And no, you cannot 'separate the art from the artist' when art is an extension of the artist and a form of their self expression, therefore reflecting their own personal beliefs into their artwork. Examples of this are when you watch an old hollywood movie and find pro-isreali propoganda in it. Or even a modern one.

What do the yellow titles on the home tab mean? I don’t think it means finished, ongoing, or opened. This is such a mystery to me

I wanna see everyone's wallpapers (for inspo cuz why not)

Like i dont mean, 'omg i love this', i want more of 'YOU ARENT REALLY ALIVE UNLESS YOUVE READ TS' kinda bl
For me its Global Examination ts so peak ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

Hello!
I wrote a bunch of notes in the little section that shows up when you save a story. I wrote them for Blue Lock, a detailed paragraph description for each chapter I read, for about 15 chapters (in the three hundreds). However, not only were all my notes gone, it doesn't even show where I last left off. I used my notes as a way to remember, and I am very disappointed and concerned about this; Blue Lock is such an important manga to me and all my work is gone. If someone knows what to do, that would be great. Any words of advice help.

just revisit your old questions and answers here and die from the cringe because i definitely did and the worst part? it looks like i barely changed… omg, im still the same. holy shi

With the recent MASSACRE of masculine ukes, we've asked witnesses to come forward to describe their account of the worst twinkification they have EVER seen in the history of bl manhwas, the stand is yours.

mine was: at the end of the road
at around 2020, at the same time I also stumbled across this website and have been stuck here ever since lol

Guys...... did anyone else's currently reading dissappear and not come back

Do y’all also get this? Like when you eat pork or chicken and kinda overeat it, you start feeling nauseous. For me it’s not only those foods, but it mostly happens with them. Every time it happens I feel like I’m about to throw up and my head starts aching. What I usually do is get myself some chocolate and somehow it makes the feeling go away.

No hate but is it just me or like when every year passes, the plot of almost every manhwas especially BL are becoming more simple and less interesting than it is way back then? Like I clearly remember those old times where I exactly remember the plot I read like king's maker, under the green light, ghost nocturne and killing stalking (not BL) for example. But as you can see, nowadays it's kinda difficult to find such manhwas with an actual interesting plot rather they just go with the plain bandwagon stuff that's going on the internet wide which I believe that's making every single read easily forgettable nowadays. The only BL I'm currently invested on the story is wet sand and master-peace nowadays. Just saying

Why is the poor woman/uke trope so common? i always found it uncomfortable but one of the things that made me feeling worse is the fact that everytime a k-drama/manwha uses this trope it's almost ALWAYS the person in the relationship which is perceived as more feminine, either being a woman or being a bottom (yes i know bottoms aren't always twinks, but even while being masculine they're still percieved as "the woman in the relationship" by a lot of people.) which maybe I'm too woke but it feels awfully misogynist and icky.

I know that this trope was used in Western media as well. Cinderella falls under that trope too, at least in my opinion, and maybe I'm not consuming enough west media to notice, but it feels way more common and popularized in korea. Is there a specific reason why poverty is so romanticized there, or just power unbalance in general?
