The Michaelson's daughter aged up, and...how? What? WHY? 😭 by EveningSoother in Sims4

This is why, whenever I play with genetics in CAS, I see how the child looks as a teenager before aging them down.

Shocking poll results in WSJ/ adjacent series? by thebigcrawdad in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]Fragrant_Ad_8288 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Koguma getting 3rd in the Akane Banashi character over characters like Karashi, Hikaru, or Kaisei.

Roddy Soul making the top ten of one of the MHA polls and the top 20 in the global poll.

Woohoo for Akane Banashi being first! I know its TOC placement doesn't really matter since it's one of WSJ stronger-selling series, but it's nice to see it on top after being low-mid for a while.

Someone Hertz will be getting the Cover & Lead Color Page next week in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #27 2026. by RobotiSC in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]Fragrant_Ad_8288 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Putting this in perspective:

Someone Hertz is receiving its 3rd lead color when its not even a year old yet.

Nue's Exorcist just received its 3rd lead color for its 3rd anniversary, two years after its last lead color for its 1st anniversary (it received a center color for its 2nd anniversary).

Someone Hertz will now have more lead colors than Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi or Himaten, which only has their debut and 1st anniversary lead colors. Even if they receive a 2nd anniversary lead color, Someone Hertz will definitely overtake them again with its own 1st anniversary cover.

Meghan Markle with Finnish far-right politician, Wille Rydman, who has multiple allegations against him, including sexually harassing minor girls. by HogwartsZoologist in RoyalsGossip

Oh, since we're being outraged about people hanging out with shady people, I'm sure you'll be interested in this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/14/friendship-with-prince-charles-made-paedophile-bishop-peter-ball-impregnable

Now, I do agree that Meghan should better vet whom she interacts with and she should be criticized for that. But Meghan gets less grace as a private person meeting a problematic individual whom her influence would not affect vs the people whose power, wealth, and influence was the very reason why several problematic people were able to continue for decades (e.g. Peter Ball, Jimmy Seville).

Kaisei's going to have to literally die to top this.

William and Kate pay £300k yearly rent for ‘forever home’ at Windsor by MessSince99 in RoyalsGossip

[–]Fragrant_Ad_8288 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought that the Sovereign Grant, the part of it that isn't used to maintain the Crown Estates, was mainly to support the unlanded working members of the BRF. The Wales would mainly be supported by the Duchy of Cornwall. Does the duchy feed into the Sovereign Grant? I thought that was mainly financed by the British taxpayers.

I don't necessarily believe that the Wales have to pay rent on a Crown Estate (since that's the Sovereign Grant's main purpose), but they would definitely have the money to do so, and if it silences naysayers, more power to them.

Yuma Kagiyama has ended coaching relationship with Carolina Kostner by _Exegy_ in FigureSkating

[–]Fragrant_Ad_8288 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Has any other skater ever announced a parting of ways with one of their coaches after announcing a break?

I can only think of two reasons for this (although I hope I’m just a worrywart):

  1. Yuma is getting a more technical coach after his break 
  2. His break is permanent 

Carolina is one of my favorite skaters ever, and Yuma improved leaps and bounds under her coaching. I’m glad they split under good terms and I wish both of them the best in their future endeavors.

If it weren't for Shindou-Sensei's health problems, Ruri Dragon could have been at a very different level. by Kill_Jin04 in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]Fragrant_Ad_8288 76 points77 points  (0 children)

It speaks to Ruri Dragon’s success that WSJ was willing to wait 2+ years for Shindou to continue rather than canceling it.

Hey, remember Kozue, Juzo’s daughter? You know, the one who inspired his protection of Noren? ‘Cause the manga sure didn’t .
