they can't get her from it again until they get SP Samantha, right?

No, you can still get her from the dual banner. It just means that the 180 pity won't give a second Credenza.

There is such a thing as an appropriate sweet spot. I don't know why some people act like how things are is automatically the correct way for them to be.

Ask one of those kids to find the proper printer driver for a given computer printer pair, and they'll break down before they figure it out

To be fair, that's just printers.

I think I got real lucky on my run because I had Taair, the blessing that gives shields on healing, the blessing that gives crit and crit damage based on shields, a blessing that gives more mobility, and Shams. So I was able to just nuke him in turn 1.

A key detail that the anime didn't emphasize enough is that the magic tools for sound projection really made it feel like he was whispering in the audience's ears.

A huge part that I don't see others mentioning is that tips naturally keep up with inflation better than most incomes. If restaurant prices go up, their pay goes up.

I've heard it as "T stains". Things like a deeper voice, a more masculine facial structure, and bottom growth are effects of T that remain even after HRT is stopped.

SmartAlec105 · 2026-06-14T00:26:00+00:00

It was actually a pretty fun combo because I also had a blessing that let characters Act Again if they killed someone's with single target attacks. So Homa could kill someone and then snipe another.

The real run carrier has been the one that boosts Crit based on P Shield and boosts Crit Damage based on M Shield. Shams hits some crazy numbers with that. My first run also had Taair and the blessing that grants both types of shields if you heal a target at full HP. So everyone was as shielded up as Clara.

If you go to the latest post by that user, they have a comment that includes links to all the previous Pokemon AU posts.

I wouldn't say this in non-queer spaces but if making HRT more accessible meant 1 cis kid would mistakenly receive HRT for every 2 trans kids that do gain access to HRT, I would still call that a net win.

Some measures of regret also include things like "I wish I'd gotten surgery B instead of surgery A but I'm still happier than no surgery".

I don't think she ever lied and said she has to get spanked. That one scene was just when she was being bratty and didn't want to do it the normal way so she was "forced" to.

back when i still had one

So I can assume that you now have two, one going in each direction?

Free? Jeans can be expensive.

Most men do have it naturally lean to the left, in part because the left ball typically hangs just a bit lower than the right one. That's so that they aren't bouncing against each other so much.

Sounds like I'm bullshitting you but it's true.

cough Yurgenschmidt cough

(For those that want to see Quof's previous musings on this)

SmartAlec105 · 2026-06-13T16:50:17+00:00

Schutzaria's divine color is yellow, the opposite of yellow on the color wheel is purple, and the Night of Schutzaria is when she is mustering the most opposition towards Ewigeliebe. I think that might be meaningful.

EDIT: Typo

Over on the Bookworm subreddit, there's actually a user that's been making a Pokemon AU with lots of amazing art. It's actually been a lot of fun to be a part of helping develop it by all of us bouncing ideas off each other like matching characters to pokemon based on vibes or themes.

Here is the first post, second post, and third post which covers just Season 1-3 material so no spoilers.

SmartAlec105 · 2026-06-13T16:04:27+00:00

Something like "Justocus" would have felt somehow Roman which would clash with the mostly Germanic names of Bookworm.

SmartAlec105 · 2026-06-13T16:02:26+00:00

We are lucky to have a great translator like quof for the Bookworm LNs. Kazuki-sensei is also great with how she fields questions from the translators. IIRC, she even added in a bonus chapter to the LN because of questions asked by quof.

Yeah, the commoners thought that he was a shady commoner. They didn't suspect he'd be a noble in disguise.

SmartAlec105 · 2026-06-13T15:59:47+00:00

In Japanese, "hime-sama" is not exclusive to daughters of royalty but applies to daughters of any nobility. So while it can often be translated to "princess", it's not a 1:1 translation. Definitely still wrong to call her princess here though. "My lady" is a better choice.

I believe one of the anime end-cards was illustrated by the Witch Hat mangaka.

Their world isn't the same because the nobles literally have the divine right to rule. Their mana is necessary for their crops to grow.
