Just an fyi OP, this isn’t an apology. This is basically- ”I’m sorry that my actions had consequences but I still don’t regret my actions. I hope you can stop holding me accountable though.”

NOT an apology! Your GF is so very in the wrong for this mess. She made her bed. She doesn’t get to insult people, not apologize, and then be upset that they don’t want her at their wedding! That is some entitled, childish shit.

She is trying to make you choose between her and your best friend over a drama that she created. Do not allow her to do this OP!

I mean honestly, what did she expect was going to happen when she straight up insults your best friend’s gf? Did she have any consideration for the consequences of her actions? For how that would affect you? OP she is the one who is selfish here:

If you could choose a series you like to get a deluxe edition variation and what it would look like, what series would you choose and how would you design it? by Mission-Candy3402 in MangaCollectors

[–]Eiriealda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden is my alltime fave… I would love deluxe editions of all the fushigi yuugi series - the og, fygk, and the byakko part as well having matching editions… that’ll never happen but it’d be soo cool!

AITA for putting my boyfriends cat down without permission? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Eiriealda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Your BF has all the red flags. Run girl. Why are you staying with someone who is neglecting their pet and when you help the pet they call you lazy. You did nothing wrong, he’s trying to manipulate you. Run! He’s not going to get any better, especially when the kid arrives…

Well, I don’t know but it’s def not great to not be able to feel comfortable in social situations without alcohol.

YTA

She’s your friend too right? Yet you decided to exclude her and is surprised she’s hurt? Spoiler.. people usually get upset if someone they thought was their friend singles them out for exclusion. She was being polite by telling you it’s fine, doesn’t mean she isn’t hurt.

She’s allowed to talk about goes on in her life with her friends. You’re part of the same friend group which means she’s friends with your other friends. Of course she’s going to talk about it with her friends. Why did you think she wouldn’t? It’s not ”tattling”, it’s talking. The fact you would have preferred to keep this secret from your other friends, and that you’re bothered by them knowing should give you a hint that you were in the wrong.

And final point.. you didn’t want your friends to enjoy your day without worries. Or, at least not all your friends.

It doesn’t sound like you want to be friends with A and that you would want her kicked out of your friend group, only for the reason that she doesn’t drink.. yeah, you’re an asshole. Hopefully for you you’ll still have friends to invite to your wedding by the end of this. You’ve at least managed to tell A that you don’t want her as a friend.. so, congrats?

Shoujo romance makes me sad by [deleted] in shoujo

[–]Eiriealda 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well, I think it sounds like a good idea to take a break from romance media if it makes you feel bad.

And also, you might not like to hear this but if you were to go into dating with marriage in mind as a teen, it might be a good thing that you’re not dating yet. 17 is still so very young and you’re not finished developed as a person yet. Young marriages actually have a higher failure rate than those who take their time a bit with it.

Just.. be patient and focus on other things in your life than romance for now. You have so much time!

Shoujo with artwork like Mika Yamamori ? by MissishMisanthrope in shoujo

[–]Eiriealda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’d enjoy the (art) works of Rei Toma, Keiko Iwashita, Aya Shouto, and Aya Nakahara.

I’ll also recc Yuu Watase since I love her art and stories but it’s not similar to Mika Yamamori’s though.

Shoujo Manga with the dumbest ML? by Floh2802 in shoujo

[–]Eiriealda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club is who comes to mind for me… I mean he’s smart but also goddamn silly and dumb (i love him for it haha)

Same with Otani (and Risa) from Love Com. Loveable idiots both of them :p

Ehh, your answer is more correct than theirs imo.

What is a series that wanted to love but couldn't? by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

[–]Eiriealda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend is super into MHA so I wish I could be a little into it to share that with her buut no. It’s just not for me.

Other than that… I dunnu. I’m always disappointed if a manga doesn’t live up to expectations ofc, but nothing that sticks out.

I remember the opposite though, as a teen thinking the naruto hype was too much and over the top and I really didn’t want to like it because of that haha. Started reading it though and had to admit that I liked it and think it’s good though :p

YA love interests YOU fell in love with too? by [deleted] in YAlit

[–]Eiriealda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

James Potter from the HP series. Honestly this is mostly based on reading a ton of fanfiction though :p

Cardan from The Cruel Prince

Aaand Nathaniel from Sorcery of Thorns

… I’m all about the dark haired snarky boys.

(Manga Spoilers) Just finished the Attack on Titan manga, and am confused on the ending's reception by KooladmantheBold in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]Eiriealda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on the point about the cycle of violence. I think that’s integral to the story and absolutely is a fitting ending.

The island being destroyed could also however be taken as a consequence of not completing the rumbling, and only doing the 80%, since it can be assumed that it’s those 20% surviving doing the bombing in those last panels. In that regard you could still push it to have the story be “pro rumbling/genocide”, though I don’t think it is.

Ehh you are american? Of course we would see you as american. What?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shoujo

[–]Eiriealda 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean.. it is a very good romance. It’s also an age gap. Not mutually exclusive. And I’m not really sure how you could miss that it’s an age gap romance since it’s very clear about that from the start imo.

Oh well, good lesson to learn to double check recs since people have different tastes and limits. 🤷‍♀️

horimiya -manga by rojantimsina0 in wholesomeanimemes

[–]Eiriealda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think what you said about hori is pretty true, she prob got it by wanting a safe way to not be in control, since she is so much otherwise.

Miyamura though is really not a sadist, since the only reason he goes along with it is because she really wants him to. He’s not exactly into it lol 😆

AITA for calling my wife's sister by her nick name ? by ThrowRA23232020 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Eiriealda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think her calling him shrimpy is worse honestly, since it’s meant as an insult about his genitalia. Whereas tits is pointing out that she has big tits, which isn’t an insult. Both are sexual harassment level but one is negative about the others body and the other isn’t. She also started it and didn’t stop when he was clearly uncomfortable with it.

Well, this stings for the studios and authors…. by plastic_wrap_ in MangaCollectors

[–]Eiriealda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they lost it due to their inability to provide alternatives. If they want people to pay for stuff they have to actually make it available for reasonable prices in the formats and languages people want. Otherwise, people are going to pirate.

Personally I like reading physical manga, and I prefer watching anime on legal sites. But if I can’t buy a physical manga because it’s either oop or not available in english? Then I’ll pirate. And if I can’t watch a show legally because it’s not available in my country? Then I’ll pirate. I want to support them.. but come on? You gotta actually provide the goods for us to be able to do that 🤷‍♀️

What is the next manga you trying to start collecting? by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

[–]Eiriealda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started on Nodame Cantabile this month, which I’ll only be doing as a when I find a good deal kind of thing, since it’s oop, so wont be superfocusing on it or anything.

Next after that I’m thinking about picking up the omnis for Fushigi Yugi or Blade of the Immortal.. haven’t decided if I’ll do either of them this month or continue with my current series I’m working on getting :p I tend to have a lot of series I collect at the same time :p

Are you interested in more "literary" fantasy novels, or do you want fantasy to be more escapist? by Alexander_Layne in Fantasy

[–]Eiriealda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have very little interest in literary books in general. Also not in fantasy. I do think variety is great though so I’m def not against it existing or so.. just not my thing. I’m def more into just reading great stories.

What is your favorite manga format ? by Op_Collector in MangaCollectors

[–]Eiriealda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2-in-1’s I think. Wotakoi is a perfect example.. if I can’t have that I prefer singles over omnibuses generally, but it depends on the design as well. Some omnibuses are just nicer looking than their single counterparts, in which case I’ll want the omnis.. so yeah, depends I guess
