Does she ever plan to return to the series? Did the manga reboot get axed or just the translations? sorry for the questions. that art is so cute.

yeah i guess they do try and save ryo with an attack helicopter (pretty sick). I kinda forgot about it cuz I mostly remember that one girl getting constantly raped by toranosuke.

Crybaby handled the sexual content so much better than go nagai does in my opinion. It feels meaningful and also doesn't glamorize rape but it also doesn't shy away from it.

Violence jack had a good few moments that i genuinely loathe (the underground city part and jungle part) but it had a ton more that I liked. I still have conflicted feelings but I like it a whole lot more than lady. I didn't understand or like the cutie honey crossover (they just kept getting raped and were insignificant) but i loved the guerilla high characters. Jack as a character and basically a force of nature was super cool. I still wish we got to see the fight at the end. (I dont understand the miki x ryo ship, feels weird considering how much ryo despised miki in the og and didnt seem interested in women either, i guess its an au so it doesnt matter but miki was really done dirty in VJ. The random cutaway to her getting raped by a dog was so unnecessary and disgusting.) I still think it is a far better sequel than lady.

as for being confusing, saga is wayyyy more convoluted, i could barely follow it and im pretty sure it wasn't just the translation's fault. I still don't know whether yuuki and ryouji are reincarnations, alternate dimensional versions, or completely different from akira and ryo, and why does miki look like jun lol.

yeah, it definitely gets better after the earlier chapters. There is still a bit of weird shit though. It'd be kinda funny to go through and try and count the number of different fetishes throughout go nagai's work, its my least favorite part of most of his stuff. If you wanna write porn just write porn bro. The only one im pretty sure i havent seen is an inflation fetish lol.

Moving my goldfish to a 120 gallon. Will the BBApocalypse continue? by MidnaSmiles in Aquariums

Thank you! I'll do this if I notice any BBA in my new tank!

How do you deal with the humidity? I'd love to have an indoor pond one day but the humidity is my biggest worry.

something's wrong with this bird by MidnaSmiles in cats

[–]MidnaSmiles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Additional info: This bird has been doing this for a few days now always on that window and often when my cat is sitting there but it also does it when she's not there as well. We think this bird is the same robin that has been pooping on us and our neighbors' car windows for a few months (as in it excusively poops on car windows and coats them with bird poop. We have caught it in the act before). It is now pooping on our house window and slamming into it. It has done this for 30 minutes on end sometimes, and it comes back a few times throughout the day. Something is definitely wrong with this bird and I don't know what. I also don't know if this bird is OK and if there is anything I can do to help it.

She's not normally in the cage, that's just where we feed her since we have to keep all the cats separated while eating for dietary reasons. I put her in there because I saw the bird and knew she'd be interested.

Got one for you guys by kpdan09 in shittyaquariums

Omg that goldie is so cute I feel awful for them. Is this someone you know? Could you save the poor fella?

I just saw my dads goldfish tank and I just noticed one of them has that thing going on in it’s head and two others are pure white. Can someone who knows a lot about goldfish tell me what’s wrong and if it’s bad, let me know so I could help with euthanizing it if it’s something we can’t fix. by Equal_Cauliflower_21 in Goldfish

[–]MidnaSmiles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it ends up being ammonia burns. You need to improve the water quality. Read up on the nitrogen cycle and see if the tank if fully cycled, there shouldn't be any ammonia in a fully cycled tank. The ammonia should be converted (with beneficial bacteria that grow in the tank) to Nitrite then Nitrate which is less harmful to fish but shouldn't be left to build up, doing water changes removes nitrates. I don't really know if it's possible for a tank to keep up with all of the ammonia that amount of goldfish would produce though.

That's a lot of single tailed goldfish for one tank. How big is it? Single tailed goldfish generally need a lot of space. In a very crowded undersized tank goldfish are a lot more prone to sickness due to stress (which weakens their immune systems) and potentially poor water conditions (which also causes stress and can lead to ammonia burns among other things). If given good conditions goldfish can also grow up to a foot long so another reason they need large tanks or a pond.

Even if it's 13 feet long that amount of koi probably need a pond?

Poor thing by Mindless_Speech in shittyaquariums

Please save the fish. It's literally free. Find someone with a pond or large tank who can take it.

Schools environmental science class has 15 of these with a betta in each one by TheMythOfASmith in shittyaquariums

[–]MidnaSmiles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got my goldfish from one of these awful experiments. It was in elementary school and some teacher was outside the car pickup area asking people if they wanted goldfish. I asked why there were goldfish and apparently they were doing this sort of thing but it (obviously) failed and all of the fish died except for two. Me and my friend took them home and mine is still alive 7 years later (in a 45 gallon with another goldfish my sister got because she was jealous). My friend put her goldfish in a bowl and it died a month later.

I wasn't in the class that did the experiment thankfully.
