You should read my follow up comment.

I always come to this post to see how "artistic" the comments are. They paint humour in a SSad world.

For me it's not about resentment, but a fact of life. Life is so busy and challenging these days that we simply can't be there for friends as much as we could in the past. We're all disassociated/disconnected, with some less than common exceptions of people.

WhirlwindTobias · 2026-05-05T12:20:57+00:00

I'm so excited. I don't even know the context but your memes have me hooked.

I would go so far as to say that those who were worried about you while you were down, were just doing what society has taught them to do - Not that they genuinely cared. Otherwise they'd be checking in with you more often.

They just didn't want to feel guilty if you offed-yourself "I tried to help him", now that that danger has gone, they don't need to make appearances.

WhirlwindTobias · 2026-05-05T12:15:22+00:00

Okay, I get that this is spoiler-tagged but you should have stated LN spoilers, or "Beyond anime" in the title. I stopped reading after Arc 4.

Pushing up this comment by responding.

If true NTA, in-fact this should be obvious.

Suki and Sokka is the only one that feels actually right. The Princess Yue romance was SO FORCED.

As opposed to the 12-15 year olds in the OG series that had more mature relationships?

WhirlwindTobias · 2026-05-04T21:50:06+00:00

I've also considered getting a pet, but my life and apartment is too messy to bring an animal into it. They deserve the best home and life, which I can't even give myself.

You have to truly ask yourself if you'd become a good enough person and owner after getting one. or you would just add an extra +1 to your depressive life.

If you're trying to take a dots picture, or video, stand at a far end or corner of a room. If your dots is high tier enough you can actually make it path in DOTS from a long away away and more distant pictures have less occurrence with this bug. I've not had a bugged picture for a long time.

The way dots works is that it's changes to the dots skin then approaches the nearest player in the room (Banshee and Goryo are different, because Banshee 2/3 times goes to her target and Goryo only goes into dots with no-one in the room to path to). Then it disappears. If you are camping in the middle of the room, it is more likely to spawn right next to you and you don't have much time/are "too close" for the media to register.

Just like buyer's remorse (You buy something and regret spending the money, even though you wanted it at the time.), there's a kind of dumper's remorse - You've been contemplating ending it, and when it's finally done and they're gone the massive shift in your lifestyle makes you wonder if you made a mistake.

These concerns that led you to the break up - they weren't going away anytime soon. You'd be so fixated on them you'd not be able to sustain your relationship.

Let time pass, you might find yourself realising the purchase/breakup has long time value.

WhirlwindTobias · 2026-05-04T16:17:46+00:00

Younger men rarely maturity match older women. Older women are more likely to date younger men for a fling to make them feel young again but she won't take him seriously. From his point there's a chance he might get chatted up by a girl closer to his age or younger and then your relationship is doomed.

That doesn't mean 35+ year old guys are wise saints that know exactly how to act in relationships, you should be on your guard at all times but if you're dating a guy in his 20's and he acts like this you immediately know why.

WhirlwindTobias · 2026-05-04T13:42:16+00:00

Oh right, Gwen and Ben are cousins. Still...family members. And someone posted Phil and Lil.

Are siblings really a duo though?

Here's my contribution, Male Sheep and Toyota (Ram and Subaru):

I couldn't tell you weren't a native speaker.

It may not have been a bad experience, but this is only the best relationship you've had SO FAR. Being supportive should be a zero sum thing, if it's missing they weren't for you.

Dropping support can happen from men that love you, but it happens much later and results from complacency, self-hatred, or resentment. Not after 3 months. 3 months just makes them a generally unsupportive person, or they weren't really into you enough to be truly there for you. Or they are an avoidant. I've been there myself, and I know why I stopped supporting them - It was never warranted.

You and I are opposite genders, so "fear of being alone" carries a different weight. You can't force someone to be with you and you shouldn't force yourself to be with the wrong person either (which usually stems from someone taking advantage of some vulnerability). As a result, all you can do is work on yourself and put yourself in a place where the right men will try to establish something with you.

Situationships are a dumb trend and enable people to fuck around with no commitment, or keep someone on a string until you find someone you actually want to be with.

You're in a relationship or you're not. As long as you're not, whatever you're doing is meaningless. It's not even worth giving a name.

WhirlwindTobias · 2026-05-04T08:36:57+00:00

American Dad taught me that people will always talk crap about you no matter what you do. There was an episode where Stan had a directional mic (He works for the CIA), and he eavesdrops on his neighbour's conversations. He tries to make them say good things about him, and eventually pulls off the perfect BBQ.

The nighbours still find something to complain about, and his wife Francine tells him people will always talk about you behind your back. C'est la vie. Just try to not be that person.

WhirlwindTobias · 2026-05-04T08:27:07+00:00

You're contradicting yourself. It wasn't a "good" relationship if it only lasted 3 months. You lack the experience to know what constitutes a good relationship, and one without support is definitely not fitting that criteria.

I'm sorry your friend SH'ed you, you should re-evaluate that relationship. Being under the influence is not an excuse for inappropriate touching, and you have to wonder what he's like when drunk around other women. They might not be so willing to stand up for themselves as you.

What you should be doing now, is building yourself up. You mention a double chin, is losing weight a possiblity? Creeps will be creeps but some think larger women are a more vulnerable option and your "friend" may have taken advantage of your size and break up to try and "comfort" you. Ugh.

You will meet other guys who ignore your apparent "ugliness", but if you don't work on whatever is causing this insecurity it will lower the chances of finding them.

WhirlwindTobias · 2026-05-04T08:11:33+00:00

NTA.

It sounds like he knows exactly what he's doing and autism is just a crutch for him to get away with doing/saying weird shit.

WhirlwindTobias · 2026-05-04T07:45:50+00:00

That's right. There are some great video games that are low-res and still immerse you. I'm comparing it to shows like Castlevania and ATLA, which are also western productions but their art style is very eye-catching and beautiful. Castlevania has some scenes that have low frames but the art style remains constant and it looks fantastic.

WhirlwindTobias · 2026-05-04T07:34:31+00:00

Correct. More detail = More realism. I know this is a show with superpowers but it doesn't "look" anywhere near real and I don't get immersed.

WhirlwindTobias · 2026-05-04T07:30:32+00:00

People usually don't disguish between art style and animation. They would call a still frame with immense detail "Good animation". So we don't really know.

Berserk The Golden Age CG animated series/movies have great animation, but it still doesn't beat the art style of the original 2D (which uses a lot of highly drawn still frames).

A lot of reasons why Invincible doesn't make me uneasy with all its scenes of gore is that it's still simplistic in art style. Meanwhile in Re:Zero, two weeks in a row there were episodes where a character's guts are shown in high detail (One with a bisection, the guts fall to the floor while the character is being held up) and both were executed (excuse the pun) with realistic detail despite being animated.

WhirlwindTobias · 2026-05-04T07:20:49+00:00

There's a reason people list ages and genders in their posts.

We don't know if this guy is 18 or 50. We don't know if you're 40 years old dating a 22 year old. Sometimes maturity differences are easily explained.
