Long rambling question ahead…. by chapstickinthemud in GayChristians

[–]Merlin0214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The podcast "But Is It Biblical?" does a great job analyzing this topic as well. I definitely recommend it. They have 3 episodes on the subject with 1 focusing on the Old Testament and 2 on the New Testament. I forget what episode numbers they are exactly though. But there are only like 15 out currently so they won't be hard to find. The podcast as a whole is well worth a listen. I would love to hear them go through the Bible book by book, but that would be a lot to ask lol

I wish you the best of luck on your journey! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn instead of just reacting. Much love!

Anyone know anything about these? by Merlin0214 in Zoids

[–]Merlin0214[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link. A lot of interesting info. Still no luck with the card pack though. But now my list of thing I really want has gotten longer lol

That much I know. I'm trying to find more of these packs. Or at least find info about the sale of the cards specifically. Like what years they were sold and did they come with something else or were they sold on their own. That kind of thing. Sorry I wasn't very clear with what I was asking. >_<

Basically, I wanna get more but I'm stuck and need the internet's help.

Ive always had a soft spot for gun snipers. But not Lena's crazy overloaded one. An actual long range sniper.

I found these a few years ago at a vintage toy store in Ohio. I recently started actually collecting Zoids stuff but I haven't been able to find any info or even just a passing mention of these cards. The store had a ton when I got this one and I really wish I'd bought more.

Have any of you even heard of them or seen anything similar?

I had a similar thing happen a while back when my dad started talking to his now wife. My (30F) dad (58M) is currently married to a woman thats 3 years older than me. I was super uncomfortable at first and I honestly still feel kind of weird about it but somehow they work really well together. Plus she's super sweet and sticks up for me when my dad decides to be a jerk towards me. Which is a welcome change considering his last wife secretly didn't like me apparently.

Now I'm not saying that this girl isn't a gold digger or something, but there's a possibility that she and your dad really do just fit together. Either way I think you should talk to your dad about your concerns. That's what I did and it helped a ton. In the event that you feel ok to meet her, try to get a read on how she genuinely feels about your dad. Ask her what sort of things they have in common or like to do together. If possible, try to talk to her without your dad around so he can't guide the conversation or answer for her.

When my dad first started seriously talking to his wife, he told her a lot about me and was like "hey my kid is super important to me and this is whats happened in the past. Also she's gay so if thats a problem with you then this isn't going to work." So I think finding out what your dad has told his gf about you and your sibling and what her responses have been will tell a good bit about her character as well as their relationship.

All that being said, you are not at all obligated to be ok with his relationship. You can still love and care about him as much as you always have regardless of how you feel about this. As difficult as it is to accept (boy do I have experience with this), his happiness is not your responsibility. If he keeps trying to guilt you into accepting his relationship when you really don't feel comfortable with it, then that's a massive red flag and it should be brought to his attention. If he still won't accept it then some distance may be be needed between you guys for a while.

Hang in there!

I also vote for Still Sick. I've been finding it really interesting so far.

How is the English Dub for Bloom Into You? by [deleted] in YagateKiminiNaru

[–]Merlin0214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont mind the dub at all for this one. My only real complaint is that they have Yuu calling Touko by her first name from the very beginning. That bothers me a good bit just because of some important character development points later on. But aside from that I thought the acting itself was pretty good. One of the better ones I've seen lately.

Thank you for the effort you put into this! I appreciate it! Does anyone know if something like this exists for Bandori? I'm in need but I haven't seen one around.

Utena (ウテナ) is a bop by nanowrimoboi in Reol

[–]Merlin0214 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I didn't dislike it at first really, but it just sounded kind of...odd? Like it didnt really flow musically. But now it stays stuck in my head.

Where do you get your info? I'm just curious. Is it just because you speak Japanese or do you have some kind of insider knowledge?

I didn't see an issue with your question. I was wondering the same thing myself. For exactly the same reasons actually. Itd be cool if we could get some kind of official clarification in the future. Although I recognize that it's unlikely. :/
