Question page 3 (48818)

What are some good themes to focus on for character arcs in a morbid comedy in a post apocalyptic world?
I'm also having a really hard time figuring out an antagonist.

I have 30 pages left until I finish and honestly, I understand why it's a classic, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be, it was nothing what I expected. I loved the feminism and the VERY relevant issues women still suffer with, but the sudden shift of her losing it slowly was so weird. the first half of the book was all like collage girls being collage girls but the moment it hit the middle of the book, Esther went 180 and I'm still confused as to why.

I understand the fig tree metaphor, the story of the nun and jewish man, mental health & psychology themes, as well as the stuggles of being a woman but am I just reading it wrong cause I was expecting more?

I'll go first! + this is moreso positive things

i think it's so funny when you check the topics of a mangahwahua and its just one person basically talking to themselves... it's super endearing to me idk why

Watch the movie cause I thought it was gonna be those cute romcom movies turns out it's not, like Kimmy deserves someone better, Michaels a turd cuz who kisses someone when their about to be married for 4 days?? then we have the MC, juli she a homewrecker and a bird girl out here having the audacity to say "Then we'll have that afair every year" bitch tf? same goes for that fuckass Micheal god they piss me off throughout the movie and oml I would not forgive someone's apology after they pulled those shit during the preparation of my wedding like hell to the no

I've seen people call lean muscle guys in bls twinks but then I don't think so.....
Like is a bl guy not a twink only when he's built like a double door fridge with insane muscles with transcending levels of testosterone
Idk if y'all get it

Blah blah blah people are allowed to criticize what they like blah blah blah. That's not the issue genshin has show time and time again their sexism, their racism and their complete lack of regards towards it's players from lazy designs to rewriting characters to be just simps for the traveler. If you looked at natlan and it's colorism and didn't stop playing the game then and kept giving that shit money shut up. You should've been off that game y'all are genuinely like Harry Potter fans Jesus Christ move on the game is not changing

I consider myself someone compassionate and empathic most of the time, towards a lot of topics too. but when it comes to personal connections and friendships, I feel awfully unable to get attached to anyone, in fact, I get very uncomfortable when someone tries to get too close to me, I feel often incapable of feeling regret, sadness, or guilty for a relationship that I ended, most of the time, any of those feelings are mostly because a relationship I had affected *other* people, not myself or the person involved with me,,

does anyone feel like that? friendships are so hard to keep when you're just constantly uninterested in shit and you have to take it because you don't want to upset anyone...

In Sunnyside Daycare Classmates, there's a character called Charin and I like him, but I find I don't mind him getting hated on by readers or whoever because of what he did to the MC for years. I like him, feel sorry for him, thought about a lot of things because of him and don't have anything against him myself, but I wouldn't mind if he gets hate, was crucified or whatever and I would honestly revel in it. I genuinely like Charin but I genuinely as well wouldn't mind if his guts were heavily despised, and that being something his character has to bear. I LIKE that it has to be something his character has to bear. I think it's very fun, that's why I would revel in him getting hate. Idk why I like it.

Anyone else ever got this feeling?

the opinions are too mixed...one is ''this is the best piece of fiction to exist i cried for hours i love it so much'' and the other is ''this is a rape fetish disguised as angst i hate this so fucking much anyone who likes this should die''

i think most people just look at a 29 year old and call them unc and i find it weird cause for me i feel like 40 is the point where youre 'old'. so what do you guys think?

I have tea to spill because I'm pissed off and all my friends are asleep (it's the crack of dawn here) and I need to unload. Y'all can either spill some more tea or say whatever idk.
It's gonna be long, ngl.

So I've been part of this friend group for the past 6 or 7 years. It started online during COVID and then we grew closer in real life. But I left the group because they wouldn't stop hating on me. But I've kept a few of my friendships that actually mattered, the rest are just some misogynistic bullies who are triggered by an opinionated woman. Anyway, we were gossiping with one of the girlies and she was saying how this other girl whom I've never been really close to is talking shit about her and making up stuff about her. And I was like, I was at my sister's place the other day and she suddenly said she's close by, then she came and had a drink with me and said BLUH BLUH BLUH about you to me too. And my girlie said "you know she's been hating on you since day one, right? everyone knows." And I said I had no idea. (I fact checked and it was true btw. She had a whole group chat dedicated to me)
Anyway, fast forward to yesterday, my friend exposed a lot of things about her in her personal channel. I didn't say anything, just quoted the part that was about me in my own channel and said "I was never close to this person. But to all of my friends who've known about this, thanks for the heads up. I welcomed this woman into my home without knowing she talks shit about me."
And THEN one of my closest friends suddenly came to me and trashed me outta nowhere and said that I'm a cyber bully and that my feminism is selective and a lot of other mean things to me. And I was like, girl go talk to the person who exposed her. I can't tell a whole ass woman not to say certain things in her own private channel. But she wouldn't listen, and she was like "I shouldn't have backed you up when the other guys were shitting on you." And she was angry that "I didn't fight for her when she had a nasty breakup with this other guy from the same community." First of all, I cut contact with the guy after the thing with her. Second, I didn't FIGHT for this other girl either. And third, she never confronted the guy publicly for me to back her up. Uggghhh I can go on and on but my thumb hurts so that's enough for now. If you've read this far, thank you and I love you so much MWAAAH <3

maybe im just extremely unlucky with mangas but why are so many mangas drawing the kid characters in weird positions?? Chat pls i feel like im just insane

What’s something that comforts you? Or helps you cope when you’re sad/depressed. For me it’s reading, isolating myself, a chocolate covered raspberry magnum bar, ramen, online shopping, my cats, Brie cheese, and doom scrolling (￣ε(#￣)Σ

i had a debate (?) with my parents and basically it was just how im not happy with my current job and i want change. both of them had a massive go at me and it was all revolving around money and how much i make and how stupid i'd be to drop a job like this.

the thing is i am not happy at all. its draining, i hate it but i was just forced to apply because my mom wanted me too.

i just want to know anyone elses perspective in this situation, am i being stupid? or..

Hello, kind humans! I'm looking for an Ipad or tablet model recommendation. I want it for the following:

Graphic designing
Digital drawing
Coding (Not the much since I will have a laptop soon anyway)
Genshin (I don't need high graphics, so long as it's smooth then it's okay)

My budget is around 300$. I'm a freshman compsci student who's planning to learn graphic designs and digital drawing. I'm considering Ipad, Samsung, or Redmi.


Ik this is such a random thing to ask here but since most of you are chronically online artists, I feel you'd be of help.ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

I see that a lot of people on social media has a wrong idea about Islam . So if you want to know anything just ask , please be nice

As someone who has never seen the world, I often wonder how people live in different places, and I plan to leave the country unless it suits me best. So , any Americans here?
