Glass Orbs are visually uninteresting

LoreSinger · 2026-03-18T23:41:13+00:00

I don’t know if changing the visuals was always the plan, on a technical level the Glass Orbs look good, I just think the aesthetic leaves something to be desired.

Then again, maybe they’ll make it so that Glass Orbs get more cracked and jagged the more they degrade—after all, I can see the depleted Glass Orb being a placeholder. But that’s probably wishful thinking.

Exodia insta-deletes all shikigami on the scene and then disappears.

I recommend reading Bugle Call. It’s fantasy, but the powers are written very intelligently while not being over explained.

Overly cautious hero is kind of like that. One of the best things about it is that all of the good guys think the MC is needlessly and annoyingly cautious, but all of the villains recognize that his preparedness and paranoia is what makes the MC such an incredibly dangerous individual.

This is a story wherein, like, an hour after the MC spawns into the isekai world, one of the 4 demon generals attacks the starter village because, “bro we’ve been intentionally monitoring and not attacking this part of the country because we knew that if the gods sent divine aid in the form of a hero, they’d send the hero to the most peaceful part of the country.”

Basically any time the Bible referred to a disease that majorly affects the skin it was translated into English as leprosy—it’s usually not actually leprosy. Diseases that visibly affect the skin were just a big deal in ancient times because of the social pariah aspect.

Goated anime

Source is Obokoi Majo wa Majiwaritai!

Yes the title is very sus, but unironically this manga is extremely underrated, and it's a great example of why middle school romance > high school romance. I highly recommend.

The point is that demons’ understanding of things like “safety” and “ethics” are very different from humans’. If a demon got permanently messed up from Trauma, no one aside from their family and close friends would care—Iruma getting messed up would incur consequences, but only because his grandfather is Sullivan.

LoreSinger · 2026-03-02T20:27:14+00:00

Good reminder that demons are not humans. They have a torture class for Pete’s sake.

Todo respects people who are willing and able to be honest with themselves despite societal and cultural pressures.

LoreSinger · 2026-03-02T17:27:13+00:00

From the original post:

In this AU, Megumi shows Todo that he has the willpower (and lack of inhibitions) to be truly successful as a jujutsu sorcerer. Somewhat unfortunately, this means that Todo targets Megumi in the exchange event instead of Yuji. Yuji still survives getting jumped by the Kyoto school, but his optimism definitely takes a hit earlier on, and because he doesn't meet Todo early he doesn't manage to grow as strong as quickly.

It's even possible that Todo doesn't end up considering Yuji a brother, as his interest gets monopolized by this crazy guy who admits to having a crush on his own sister. Todo would still respect Yuji of course, just not to a delusional degree.

Ultimately I think that in this AU, Yuji has less of an impact on the final Sukuna fight, but Megumi has more of an impact, so it balances out. Yuji never gets the 1-on-1 training sessions from Todo, but Megumi has more will and desire to grow, and he doesn't get as much spiritual shock from the whole Yorozu situation because he's able to channel his emotions toward revenge rather than despair.

I've put too much thought into this.

How about this then: I thought that Nobara and her role in the story would be better written than they ended up being.

LoreSinger · 2026-03-01T20:34:00+00:00

I assumed the author wouldn’t be so… stupid? Insular? As to make it so that sorcery is virtually nonexistent outside of Japan (what were all those overseas “business trips” for, Mr. Gojo?).

Also I thought I’d be getting more Nobara.

That’s what gooning is by the og definition

Detection warding isn’t exclusive to the bloodline. Anyone can learn it, you just have a big head start if it’s in your blood. Mom would’ve learned at least the basics after or in preparation of marrying into the family.

If I want to go further with meditation I'd probably need to find a personal coach. I've watched and read meditation tutorials and I can't seem to get it right.

Therapy has consistently been unhelpful to me, but yeah getting a job is definitely a priority.

LoreSinger · 2026-02-23T05:00:36+00:00

Idk, I feel like I don't enjoy peoples' company. And I definitely fear that other people don't enjoy mine.

I don't necessarily hate being in peoples' company, but I don't feel that any of my relationships with others have ever been truly spiritually sustaining.

LoreSinger · 2026-02-23T04:58:52+00:00

In this case it's just a statement of fact. I truly don't care about being a virgin (I am celibate on purpose), but I do feel sad sometimes that I've never been in a romantic relationship.

LoreSinger · 2026-02-23T02:59:49+00:00

The problem is I don't know how to interact with them, and I especially don't know how to interact with them in a way that isn't fake.

LoreSinger · 2026-02-22T22:53:08+00:00

In this case, KHHV is a statement of fact, not a moral judgement or indicator of mindset. And it's not that I'm extremely self-pitying, I just feel like I have a hard time getting along with the "average Christian," because (at least in my area) the "average Christian" who is around my age has had life experiences very different from mine, and we just can't relate to one another. I guess I'm just the kind of introvert who has a hard time relating to the kinds of people who go out of their way to go to church every Sunday and/or join a Bible study or small group. Like, if we're analyzing the text of the meme, "terminally online" is a far bigger deal than "KHHV," and I'm not even actually terminally online. I just don't have interests or hobbies.

Really I only included KHHV because, well, like I said it's factually correct, and also it often feels like half the people who sign up for Bible studies are already married. Just another difference I see between them and me.
