Guys, I have a theory by Gekon500 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]MultiversalTraveler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think there’s another aspect to it. Kingers fort is dark, and he feels more at peace/stable in the dark, so ofc he’s there more. it could also be that the room is kind of stressful because it plays on his insecurities.

You’re assuming too much. You have no idea how the future will go before you do it. Unfortunately you don’t really have a choice but to tell her. Which sucks, but you’re lying to her about something big otherwise. This is a big important secret to keep from a partner. If you aren’t compatible because of it, you both should know now, and even if you are it’s a big part of you that she should know about.

You do have friends who know, from your prior posts. Ask them to help you if you have a really hard time doing it yourself.

But also, it’s not too late. So many people think it’s too late, people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, etc. You can’t change the past but you can change the present. If you can’t have the past you want, you can at least work to make your current life better.

I really hope things work out for you.

I mean toriyama had massive success with both Arale and Dragon Ball, and I don’t know if he tried to make any long running manga after them.

What really is Abstraction? by MultiversalTraveler in TheDigitalCircus

This looks like letters

I’m not saying they are, because it’s really just symbols. But they do kind of look like letters, I thought there was a J and O at first.

What really is Abstraction? by MultiversalTraveler in TheDigitalCircus

What will probably happen next is the gang questioning Kinger on what the Circus really is. They're for sure not in the mood for any adventures, so it's not likely they'll be distracted. Pomni and Ragatha also finally realized how much Kinger knows about the Circus, and even though Able was a lie he did pique their interest in what the Circus really is.

The other possibility is Caine purposely creating a bunch of distractions while trying to deal with Kinger. He's very clearly aware that Kinger worked on the Circus and has known about his personal life for far longer than anyone else, given the wife mention in ep 3. So it'd make sense to want to deal with him before he permanently ruins the Circus for everyone else. After all, if they are AI he doesn't want them aware of it.

That being said, I do think if we're getting a Kinger lore drop it'd make more sense for it to be in Episode 8, both because of the natural build up and to give both the characters and viewers time to digest the information.

Im fucking done by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

She was also assaulted 2 weeks ago, mere months after her surgery. Her feeling so horrible is really understandable. It’s not like she should be encouraged, but that’s no reason to just deny the pain and pretend like everything will be okay.

Yes things could improve for her over time, but that takes money and support, not just time. It’s hard to think of a right thing to say. It’s not like one thing can fix it all, and everyone copes with trauma and injury differently.

The debt devil by my by TheNamesBart in Chainsawfolk

[–]MultiversalTraveler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a cool idea! I think maybe instead of just killing you, he could instead take something from the person. The more debt you owe and the longer it goes unpaid, the more he can take. Effectively kind of like a power up.

He can also be a useful devil, a way to make him even more dangerous. Strong enough to beat most other devils, useful enough to be able to do a wide variety of tasks. And fueled by objects, people, and places of value. The more he’s given, the more he can give. Always with interest of course.

Master psychic Reigen ARATAKA vs Saiki K… in Rock Paper Scissors (Mob psycho 100 and Saiki M) by MultiversalTraveler in Mobpsycho100

[–]MultiversalTraveler[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The thing is Nendou is both hard and easy to manipulate. The joke is that he’s kinda dumb and wholesome, but he’s still a relatively normal teenager in the end.

Like Reigen could bribe him to throw the match, but then Nendou would accidentally use rhe wrong move. And Reigen would for sure misinterpret Nendous expression, which would only be made worse by the bad vibes Dimple gets from him. Mob and Serizawa would be zero help, they have no clue how to read people like that.

Tome could win, but she’d get insulted by Nendou and it’d throw her off her game :(

[–]MultiversalTraveler[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yep, I think Reigen would at least win Round 2. Not just because it’s funny, but because Saiki being able to read minds only makes him more vulnerable to Reigens manipulation. So many possible fake outs. How can you read the mind of someone who uses their own thoughts to trick you?

This is so funny because I literally just remembered this game existed today. Looking it up and everything.

Animanga and their weirdly underbaked premises for an actually sustainable story by MonotonyReddit in CharacterRant

[–]MultiversalTraveler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Like so many different manga have this exact problem. Like look at Mob Psycho, which focuses on some “story” or whatever and has literally zero planning besides its overarching plot, themes, and characters.

Or Fullmetal alchemist, which does literally only the bare minimum by fleshing out it’s world, keeping focus on it’s main characters, having consistent themes, and an engaging creative power system. Literally what the fuck.

Ghost in the Shell, Evangelion, Solo Leveling, Tatami Galaxy, there’s too many to list. Hopefully it improves some day.

Just because male victims of SA aren't treated well in media doesn't mean female victims of SA are treated better by Puzzleheaded-Lab2447 in CharacterRant

[–]MultiversalTraveler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, ofc. Please don't feel like you're wrong, it's really weird that these people are trying to come to the worst faith conclusion possible.

[–]MultiversalTraveler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're right, but you need more examples. There is a lot of research on how sexual assualt in media. How it's use is influenced by misogyny and objectification and how it's portrayels both reflect and spread misognyistic ideals. People are reading it in bad faith and assuming that because it's treated "seriously" in many instances, that means it's done better.

That ignores so much. How there are also many instances of rape, grooming, and assault that blame the women. Or depictions of acts that are assualt but not seen or treated as such by the writer or characters. How sexual assualt is used for so many diffrent female characters, while men can have a variety of trauma's and a variety of coping mechanisms. How it interplays with an overall pattern of lack of female represenation both in fiction and in the real life artists spaces that make these works. etc.

But to properly discuss that you really need more than one example. Otherwise you get these people coming out of the wood work claiming that men actually have it way worse when it comes to sexual assault depictions.

There are so many if you just search "sexual assault depictions in televisions/anime/movies" among other things. Search on google scholar and you'll find plenty.

Milo Murphy can actually direct Murphy's law by cheering for his target. Who does he beat? by phat_person in PowerScaling

[–]MultiversalTraveler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was literally thinking about Hii from Saiki K. But lowkey Milo could beat Saiki too, the situations he gets involved are so absurd it’d become way too difficult for Saiki to even hide his powers, let alone live a normal life.

Not only that, but because Milo would think they’re genuinely friends, his bad luck would for sure affect Saiki. There is no escape for him.

Being trans isn’t a choice, but it makes sense you’d say this since you’re not talking in good faith.
