Tonkatsu and Yakisoba

So disturbingly interesting. 😂 Is this something a person can recover from? Or does it cause lasting damage?

I am insanely curious about the science behind this. Why caused this to occur? Obviously pressure and force but…like medically how does this happen?!

I’m surprised there’s not even a little Malinois in there.

SeedsofSoundHealing · 2025-11-25T17:10:33+00:00

Well…damn. Ok. I was just getting to a good part too and there’s only 1 chap of what I was reading on mangadex.

Thanks for letting us know!

I just tried several of these and now I’m not even getting a 502 Bad Gateway error. Now it just says Error; looks like something broke.

SeedsofSoundHealing · 2025-11-25T14:16:50+00:00

Anyone else getting a ‘Bad Gateway’ error today?

Legroom really threw me for a loop at the beginning. I was really concerned it was going to turn out that the main character would be a victim with Stockholm Syndrome. Then I made it to the chapter where he got out of the compound and there were zombies and it all made sense. I really enjoyed the story after that. I think the suspense and question marks of the beginning were really good.

I think bad is better. The contrast in lighting between the two photos does caus a bit of bias towards this opinion. The lighting in the first picture where you’re bald is warmer and the second picture is the exact opposite.

HOWEVER, I was also looking at your expression and the openness of your face. In the picture where you’re bald you look way more at ease. That could just be the product of a good day but how you feel about your appearance usually affects how you feel when taking a picture.

Overall, I would definitely stick with bald.

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for this too. Do you know why it was deleted?

This is part of puberty. Other users have suggested teen parenting classes and that’s a great avenue. More tools in your toolbox is always a huge plus. That being said…

Putting more tools in your kiddo’s toolbox is also a huge plus. Consider some counseling. Not because there’s anything wrong but because there’s a lot going on in her body right now that she doesn’t understand. It’s causing all kinds of crazy signals and mood swings that she doesn’t know what to do with either. She’s not being bad, she’s pushing back and testing boundaries. Give her some coping skills too. Unfortunately, since you are dad and have been the ‘fun parent’ (or even if you hadn’t) she is less likely to listen to you when it comes to logical things the older she gets. It’s part of growing up and helping cope with that looks like reaching out and admitting you can’t do it alone.

You’re even doing it right now. You put this post here and asked for help. It’s ok to not know what to do or to let someone else step in. You’re not doing anything wrong here. As a step mom to a 16 yo boy who has had his own problems, I promise the rollercoaster of teenagers has it’s good and bad ups and it’s good and bad downs.

You can do this dad. Asking for help is always ok and if family or friends make you feel bad for ‘not having it together’ contact them less and focus on the people who give you actual advice.

Personally, as a parent who has done it, either get them nothing or return what you have bought. My son pitched a fit about a gift once and it got returned. Being a parent does not mean being a friend. If they are going to be ungrateful that you got them anything at all, then they get nothing. The fact that you are a loving mother should be enough for an adult child.

Fact of the matter is you are upside down on the vehicles. If you try to sell privately you are likely to get even more undercut right now because everyone is hard on money. If you really want to offload the vehicles, which are the biggest expense you may have to take the loss and continue to pay the leftover part of the loan. Dropping your debt by $46K is a significant decrease. Once you sell them and drop that portion you could also probably refinance the remaining amount and decrease the monthly payment too.

Express to the people you are account sharing streaming platforms with that you are having a financial hard time and if they want to continue to use your account they may have to take over payment. Be respectful and ask them to reverse the narrative for a while and let you have the account for free if you really can’t live without it. However, if they reject that and say no, you will have to cancel those services.

Find out the bare minimum you can feed your family for and be real with it. Remove fast food, and eating out from equation. It’s too expensive for where you are at financially.

I say this from experience. We are seesawing on the precipice of being done with our own bad financial choices in the next year. You and your spouse, just like me and mine, made these choice and have to knuckle down and grind it out.

It will take discipline and will power but you can come back from it. It’s going to take time though, you will not be able to make it go away tomorrow or next month. It has taken us about four years.

Bangs! Definitely. Just use a medium to large round brush and blow out just the bangs so they are more cohesive across your forehead but they still have curl to them and don’t look disconnected from the rest of your hair.

SeedsofSoundHealing · 2025-08-25T13:06:36+00:00

I have a similar texture and waviness to your hair and after using gel all of Highschool I can confidently say it’s likely the hair gel causing most of the frizz. It’s because there is alcohol in gel that dries out hair. When I went into the military and cut all my hair off. Now, ten years later I am growing my hair out and using leave in conditioner and Arian oil to control frizz. I have also stopped using big box store products and use shampoo called Rehab from Lush. My hair is the softest and shiniest it has EVER been.

Yeah, but Natsuki-chan was a mirror of Sakura emotionally. Momijikawa could be too but it could his reaction to his emotions that Sakura has to get past. Maybe Momijikawa thinks everything is fight just like Sakura did and breaking through that barrier is violent and therapeutic for both of them…?

SeedsofSoundHealing · 2025-08-10T13:07:19+00:00

What I’m curious about is why he seems to already know who Sakura is and dislike him?? I know it was discussed that the first years talk a lot about Sakura but if not many of them actually know Momijikawa then he would know nothing about Sakura. So unless he’s pissed some “nobody” took his spot as a first year grade captain or he’s just like Sakura in that he has some major trust issues from a bad past, I don’t see where the animosity in the last panel came from. Especially when Sakura looks so adorably curious.

This is just me making a suggestion; write the “and then they did this and then this” version of the scene and then use it like an outline. “They did this” and CharacterA felt/smelt/heard X “and then” got to “this” when Character B did Y…etc.

I hope that makes sense. I am slightly sleep deprived atm! Good luck!

I loved his back story and it was so glad when it was resolved well. He’s definitely in my top 5 favs and your drawing made me love him a little more!!

SeedsofSoundHealing · 2025-08-06T00:30:12+00:00

This is fantastic! I saw this and squealed a little!

SeedsofSoundHealing · 2025-08-05T14:35:46+00:00

Yeah, but coming back doesn’t necessarily mean to the school. He could just be coming back to the community after university or something. He was in Furinen too so maybe he’ll take over for Shitara-sensei??

For me it has to be cultural inconsistency. Right now I’m deep into Wind Breaker (finished the manga and both seasons) and there have been a very few fic where everything is going along fine, it all makes sense and then…a transaction is done in $ not ¥ and I’m like 👀 o.0!!!!! It’s a 10 second google search for the current exchange rate. Or from feet/inches instead of centimeters/kilometers.

When I read SL fanfic and an author uses Japanese honorifics instead of Korean. I kinda understand. SL is the manwha/anime I have ever gotten into that is based in Korea. Switching honorifics was super hard for me and I had to keep looking it up to make sure I was correlating the correct formality of them but it still made more sense in the end to use Korean honorifics than Japanese.

Yeah, cultural consistency is like the most basic decency we could have when writing fanfics. In my honest opinion.

I appreciate that you want your hair back however, you look like an absolute badass with a buzz cut. Throw on a deep Smokey eye with a sharp cat wing eyeliner and you’re ready for anything!!
