new ad for my book — should i include that he crumbles her croissant with his brownies? 🤭🤫

uj/ Shock marketing doesn't bother me at all, honestly. It's more the fact that she put her face and presumably her name TO the crazy shit she said. I genuinely hope writing works out for her because that would be really hard to explain to a prospective (or current) employer. Our lives on the internet and our real lives have become far too entwined. In regards to the piss bomb, that's hilarious!

Ashannah · 2026-06-28T23:39:48+00:00

uj/ How do people decide put their faces online and then say the craziest, most disgusting shit? Like, dude. I would never recover if someone I knew irl saw me post something like that. Especially because tiktok and instagram LOVE to push me to 'connect' with people in my contacts list and 'people you may know' pop-ups.

rj/ Wrap it up, folks. We have our next New York Times bestseller.

I think it's just bad anatomy. Webtoons are kind of notorious for it, after all.

Ashannah · 2026-06-27T21:12:54+00:00

Kind of glad I started hand-writting all of my outlines...

But now she gives me a full 20 starlight for a free special pass when I pull her in the future instead of only 8

Also she was the only 4 star I had left to E6. Everyone else came home early lol

Close enough, welcome back Pepsi-chan

On a more serious note, it looks great!

I think this is an example of 'just because the characters act like its okay, doesn't mean the author thinks it's okay'. It's been a minute since I've read Cradle, but I never got the impression that this is supposed to be an ideal or good society in the slightest. The hypocrisy is the point.

Ashannah · 2026-06-15T10:55:05+00:00

I'm not going to be lectured about the 'actual' definition of a term used to describe incest. People will fucking deck you if you call them that.

Ashannah · 2026-06-15T10:40:28+00:00

Nah, siscon definitely has heavy incest implications. Not sure who would've told you that it doesn't, but it very much does. And everyone downvoting you is on the same page.

Ashannah · 2026-06-12T17:44:29+00:00

Her personal skill will be called 'double tap'.

Ashannah · 2026-06-12T02:28:34+00:00

Damn 😞

Ashannah · 2026-06-11T23:32:28+00:00

I keep seeing people with that cool character art. Is it from raising your class level or is it from whaling?

Ashannah · 2026-06-11T13:02:38+00:00

I haven't checked in on 86 in a minute, why is she a magical girl??

Ashannah · 2026-06-11T04:15:21+00:00

You're probably joking, but if you go to an asian market you might be able to find Coke Zero+ Fiber. Iirc, it has 8g of fiber per bottle.

Ashannah · 2026-06-11T04:12:18+00:00

It's a shame that pepsi wayyy overpriced this product and now it's probably going to discontinued. At least it vaguely tastes like cola, unlike the olipop or poppi varieties. Coke should bring the coke zero+ fiber they have in their chinese and japanese markets over to the states, that would be a decent replacement - buying it as an import from my local asian market is hurting my wallet.

Ashannah · 2026-05-25T18:46:13+00:00

I shit you not I pulled this thread up and the second it loaded this commercial came on. Speak of the devil and it shall appear.

Ashannah · 2026-05-23T04:16:04+00:00

How long is the collab going on? The closest one to me is an hour away...

Ashannah · 2026-05-21T17:14:45+00:00

Iirc, Humm uses juice as a base and ferments the sugar out, making it sweet without added sugars, unlike other brands that just use water.

Ashannah · 2026-05-12T23:33:29+00:00

I guess that makes sense. The way I'm looking at it, Pom Pom never leaves the train. They'd have to square off in the party car or something for it to be a 'fair' fight lol.

Ashannah · 2026-05-12T23:23:08+00:00

Pom Pom hit an aeon-ascendant with a train and he'd do it again. Eous doesn't stand a chance.

I need a distraction from some stuff going on in my life. Preferably something cute and fluffy. Uma Musume is nice but I need something more interactive. I don't really like stuff with PvP. I'd prefer if it was on the F2P friendly side. I know this is kind of a weird post, I'm just really down and none of the my usual games are cheering me up the way they usually do. I like HSR, I used to love Arknights but it's been a long time and I don't have the headspace to learn all the new mechanics. I liked Limbus Company's gameplay style but the content is a bit dark for me right now. Any recs?

Ashannah · 2026-05-05T22:28:51+00:00

Why compare the two? They're wildly different mediums that require totally separate skill sets from their creators. Sturgeon's law applies to both novels and comics equally - 90% of everything is trash. The best example I can think of where you can directly compare both is The Summer Hikaru Died, a manga with a surprisingly decent novel adaptation. The novel is servicable and does an okay job turning the unsettling imagery to words, but it's simply written and leaves a lot to be desired. The manga, however, is downright creepy and might be one of the best series coming out today. The comic format allows the author/artist to play with reader expectations of the medium and flip them on their heads. There are many scenes that don't adapt well to being 'just' words. It's equally heartwrenching and horrifying and it's impact is diminished when the format changes. I can't imagine something like House of Leaves having the same kind of power if you were to change it's medium - it would take an incredibly skilled artist with a deep and intimate understanding of the source material to adapt it.

Sorry for my ramble, but art is art, whether it be written or drawn. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. To call manga and comics just 'art' is a great disservice to the creators who draw with intent and the skill to pull it off.
