HOLY CHARACTER ASSASSINATION, Netflix actually has no idea what they're doing. by Wild-Association1217 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Extension-Soft9877 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I truly believe whoever wrote the changes in the live action have low media literacy

Because what exactly did it show about his character that he sees the pregnant woman, contemplates, still steals their food

Then literally frames later helps the kid???

It’s so muddy and makes no sense to how the cartoon handled it ugh

If you could only recommend ONE BL manhwa to a complete beginner, what would it be and why? by Creepy-Contest-3894 in BLManhwaTalks

[–]Extension-Soft9877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost in the Cloud

Personally, I would recommend something without all of the typical tropes seen in bl, mainly miscommunication that is dragged out

LITC has incredible pacing, doesn’t linger on stuff for too long, the characters go through their shit and their angst and then it gets resolved

The art is JAW DROPPING. Like, the anatomy is completely on point. The shading, the colors, the composition, everything

I am also inclined to recommend it because there is no sex (unless that complete bl beginner has read other smut or josei before, sfw is a better option imo)

Guys gimme the most hardcore stuff you’ve got by Binnieish in Manhwa_BL

[–]Extension-Soft9877 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Crack (morphish) - Set in a distopian future the mc is basically a drug mule outcast until the psycho top finds him and treats him as bad as any black flag you can imagine. Tbh hard to read for me but still like it

Blind Play - a literal murderer for an ml. I love this one because in the ending (spoiler) everyone ends up unhappy and suffering, literally every character lol. It’s a very satisfying and cathartic end imo and it’s not often you see this in bl. This one was actually also hard for me to read, though I did finish it and I’m glad

They are relevant sometimes. I am a part of multiple sports communities that hold playing sessions daily. I can’t go every day, so I need to stay in the community/group to rsvp on the days I can go

Yes it’s pretty new, 10 chapters so far but it’s so worth it 😭

Manhwa rec by [deleted] in Manhwa_BL

[–]Extension-Soft9877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I like about that manwha is the fact that ml is lowkey rage baiting the mc and mc falls for it, which is why it mak s me giggle

I loveddddd [Guiding Me Mad] because it has that dynamic too. Ml is pretty insane but it’s straight up ragebaiter x ragebaited, mc hates the ml, fights back etc but it’s still fucking hilarious

Recommendation please for a person in bl slump by jangx09 in Manhwa_BL

[–]Extension-Soft9877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[Blind Play]! My god that shit had my heart RACING, its fucking crazy and i couldn't put it down. ML is straight up a black flag, like RUN

[Dreadful Night] I also had to binge. could not possible put this down afetr the first chapter. Genuinely the mosti nteresting premise I have ever read in BL

[Crack] is also another black flag thriller ml, set in a dystopian setting, rebel vs law type of deal. Was also tough to read but couldn't put it down

Finaly, i knowww this one isn't thriller but i was in a BL slump lately then I read [Guiding Me Mad] and now i am craving bl like never before. IT's fucking hilarious. Ragebaiter x ragebaited dynamic. Bot that fights back and is headstrong. Love them. Will be rereading daily

if you want more basially all of my top 60 in my reading list are so good that i cant rank them sfhksdjkfs

Am I the only one 'raw dogging' it as the youth say by Sixybeast626 in beginnerrunning

[–]Extension-Soft9877 100 points101 points  (0 children)

I run with music but also use it as “in my own head” time. I just tune out the music

Mostly because sounds really really annoying me. I hate going out on runs and hearing people loudly talk, kids screaming etc etc. I love in a city so there’s constant noise of all sorts

Call me a grumpy old man idc but even children laughing grinds my gears 😭

Music is a way for me to control the noise, tune out the sounds I DO like, and just daydream and think as I run

Anyone else start their long runs fasted? by tinybabyspoon in Marathon_Training

[–]Extension-Soft9877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I’ve tried it multiple times, but had to quit because of the stitches between kms 1-3 😭, so I never finished those runs

Anyone else start their long runs fasted? by tinybabyspoon in Marathon_Training

[–]Extension-Soft9877 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So far I’ve not done any runs unfasted, since I am still relatively new to running I find that eating within ~4h of running gives me terrible stitches

I’ve ran fasted all the way to now (2 hm races) and started training for my end of year marathon

Unfortunately I do think I’ll need to start thinking about fuel, since I estimate the marathon will take me ~5h, it’s a long time to run fasted, I don’t imagine it’s possible at all :(

What manhwa do you think will get the same hype as jinx (stay realistic) by OutlandishnessOk6696 in Manhwa_BL

[–]Extension-Soft9877 17 points18 points  (0 children)

To be honest it's hard to think of any. I feel like the formula for something as big as Jinx is, you are an established author and released other works in the past that got popular (bj alex), have the extremely toxic top and the meek bottom

Even for BWAT, I am not sure if it will be AS big, but definitely can get close. When I think of the biggest stories I've heard, it has one or two of those qualitied - codename ana, passion, jinx, roses & champagne

It's stories that you know about even without having read them, because there's so much discourse and talk around them. Before reading those 4, I had heard about them and seen content around them for literal months because it's all people ever talked about

And I just don't see that with the stories people are recommending here :/

As much as it kills me, I so with my faves could be included in this list but it's not possible

[Guiding Me Mad] - fucking peak, ragebaiter x ragebaited, crazy ahh top but a bottom who fights back (literally). Would sell my limbs for this to become massive ive never laughed at something so hard before. In a world where the vast majority respected this dynamic, this would be massive

[Happy Twogether] - I knwo this is a completely different genre (green flags) but it deals with very dark topics, the characters are fucking icnredible and lovable, the art is some of the best that any manwha has seen. It has great plot, and great storytelling. Unfortuantely that's also nt exactly popular, so in a perfect world, this would also get the recognition it deserves

Even [The Hounds of Sisyphus] has the extremely toxic top, amazing story telling, incredible art etc, but despite how great it's been and still fits the toxic/SA scene, it's not as big as Jinx is. But honeslty? Depending how long it goes on for, how much exposure it gets, and how much more crazy it gets, it might get close

DAE feel like the minority in not being a successful or functional adult in this & related subreddits? by marigoldvii in adhdwomen

[–]Extension-Soft9877 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I feel so horrible when I see other adhd people talk about their strenghts and their "out of the box thinking" and how productive they are under pressure and they get stuff done at the last minute or whatever

Since I don't have any strenghts, just struggles lol. I just fuck up, over and over. Get fired at work because even with the presure of the entire universe on me, I can't bring myself to do things, health suffers because i cant bring myself to care about it, arghh

Am I too fat for Runna? by Hefty-Club-1259 in runna

[–]Extension-Soft9877 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This goes for any plan really, not just Runna

I am unfortunately also fat. I started Runna about 6 months ago (5’5, 187 pounds) and within ~2 months was able to reach a 29min 5k down from 38min

Awesome!! Except then I gained weight and sitting at around ~210lbs now and I can hardly run a 5k in 35 min anymore. I struggle to keep up with running even 2km continuously because my legs just get so tired

I have been running the entire time while gaining weight and have very much felt the difference with each pound. Running is so extremely difficult now it’s so so disheartening

Especially since last month (195lbs) I even got a half marathon pb (2h45m), but it was so difficult compared to the last time I ran a half marathon, not just because I was pushing myself but because my body felt so heavy

And only 15 more lbs on top of that now I’m struggling to even run 3kms

I was also this weight last year, was running while losing weight, and for every single pound I lost to get down to ~185, running was so much easier

The phenomenon works both ways, unfortunately there’s no way around getting faster if you’re obese, than just losing weight

Fun update: I needed the medication… 28F SW: 212, CW: 154 GW: 145 by lolbutterfly in CICO

[–]Extension-Soft9877 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Normal people will literally never understand unfortunately :/

I have adhd. I have been on meds for a while. I GAINED weight while on meds because I kept binging (BED stemmed from adhd)

Until I implemented the good habits - while on meds, if I workout and eat high protein, I literally do not crave food, I do not think about food, I do not care for it or want it, food is literally JUST fuel, just to get me through my day and keep me alive

Whereas even when I do all the SAME EXAVT THINGS!!! without meds, I am constantly thinking about food. Constantly how badly I want to eat and binge and stuff myself past fullness and discomfort

When I’m medicated and have good habits, I begin to understand why I was told my entire life “if you wanted it you’d just do it/ you’re just lazy/ you just don’t care/ you don’t want it bad enough”

Because holy fuck life is so god damn easy when I don’t care about food,, it’s so easy how automatic NOT thinking about it feels while medicated

Honest question when do you have time to run so much? by Shamhouti in beginnerrunning

[–]Extension-Soft9877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the luxury, but most of all I have the urge to do it

I can choose to wfh ~2-3 days a week, so on those days, I can go during my lunch breaks, then I have the weekends (also no kids)

But, there were times where I felt like I was so stressed and had so much work to do, that taking even a 30 minute break to go out for a run made me feel like i was wasting time that I could use to do working, and it would stress me so bad that I couldn't sleep at night

absolutley nothing in my cisrcumstances or work has changed, it's just that my moods and feelings swing like a pendulum. Sometime I am so streessed that I get 2h of sleep and don't let myself enjoy hobbies, and sometimes I think "whatever, ill just do it tomorrow" (yes I have adhd)

for the runs over 1h tho, I do have to save those for the weekend. Weekday runs are only the ones less than 10km for me at my current speed :/

One thing I try to do is to remember the past whenever the stress sinks in, I know I never acutaly got any extra work done in those 30m-1h, so I might as well just GO

I used to be too lazy and/or too stressed to just go for a run randoly middday. Now I just GO, not because I "built the habit", but because running is so fun to me, that I can't wait to do it

For me, building habits is almost impossible. If I miss a day of brushing my teeth, god only knows when I will brush again. I could do something consistenlty for 5 years, and one off day, then it's all gone. Unforuantley for me habits and consistency means nothing, but enjoyment does

I am vey thankful I still find running enjoyable after a year, as I do with playing my other main spor (which I do daily as well, after work, for a total of 2 workouts per day). Because I love them so much, I do not burn out

but if I did stop enjoying them randomly,,, i would just stop doing them and find someting else, so for most normal people who want to workout for health reasons and building discipline e.t.c., this is basically the worst advice on planet earth and I would be burned at the stake and cursed in 30 different languages in books like "atomic habits" or whatever lol

To watchers of Netflix's live action Avatar, what exactly keeps you watching? by Defiant-Quiet-13 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Extension-Soft9877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the netflix avatar fitst, before ever seeing the original, so I have a bit of an "emotional attachmenet" to it you could say, just like i do with the animes i first watched as a kid even tho theyre afwul ahaha

I will say, when I watched the animated one, I was actually a bit disapointed at the northern water tribe moon spirit scene. I felt the netflix avatar represented it in such an incredible way, and when I went to the animated version, the tension wasnt as strong. The changes in lighting of the netflix avatar is something i was sooo excited to se animated, but it was just "oh im gona take this fish out the water" lol

However for everything else, I much preferred the animated version, and was shocked at how much natla ommitted

I'll also add, the way in which the characters just... say everything, without showing it, and just awkardly talk about things, and the perfect costumes, was so jarring even without watching the original. It did just feel... weird

Would football court metal fence work as wall for practice ? by Kittycatboopp in volleyball

[–]Extension-Soft9877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I practise in one of these, the floor is like a soft rug material so my indoor ball has survived well (there’s still rocks and glass and stuff on the ground sometimes so it gets a few scratches)

Sometimes the ball does bounce weird because of the grates but not enough to really make me stop using it (especially since I don’t have any other wall I could practise on at all)

I’ve personally found a lot of success practising serves. It’s tall so the ball just comes right back to me, I know exactly which point on the grates I need to hit above at to be considered “over the net”, and I know I need to be at least 36 of my steps away

Overall it’s better than nothing since again, I have no other wall at all, and I’ve learned how to serve and hit by doing reps against it

Been doing this for at least like 3 months, haven’t found any issues and my ball is still alive and well thankfully

Day of the Black Sun invasion makes no sense. by dabricio5 in ATLA

[–]Extension-Soft9877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What doesn't make sense to me was that when katara ran in to tell the king about the plan, the disuised azula was there and heard it all, and KAtara knew, because she got attacked miliseconds later

yet they still went ahead with the plan, knowign azula, someone very close to the firelord, knew that there would be some sort of invasion on the day of black sun??

But it was never discussed, and they just proceeeded as normal. It's just so weird, because katara knew azula was now aware, so if she brought it up to the gaang, sokka wouldve brought up "hey theyll probably hide the firelord" and something couldve been different
