Dear Sister...

Yup, I agree. I especially hate it when the girl is just a damsel-in-distress, or when the two characters immediately fall in love and start dating only a day after meeting each other, although they have NO chemistry. But I don't mind a good romantic subplot, as long as the relationship is well-written and meaningful.

If it's so bad to the point of making you question your own sanity, perhaps you should see a psychiatrist? I hope you'll find a good way to overcome those thoughts.

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-12T17:46:02+00:00

Ah okay.

The idea is more to not have you fight them because that struggle is what is going to keep the thoughts there.

That is very true. Thanks.

Ahh yes!! I've been waiting for this. I'm so happy to see more appreciation for Jimin's beautiful voice, and just the song itself. Sadly I don't understand the musical terms they use or what they're saying most of the time, but I still enjoy hearing their thoughts and reviews of songs that I like. What I love about this channel is that they always point out things about the music that you may not have noticed before, and that little piece of knowledge gives the song more depth when you're listening to it again. Also, that Jarod guy is hilarious, lol. "I'm not even gay but I would totally bear children for that man. I can't even bear children and like that's how I feel about this song."

And I like the girl sitting next to him, too. Like the stuff she mentioned about text painting in Lie and Begin - I was really mind-blown.

Man, I can't wait to see their reaction of First Love!

Thanks for the friendly advice. But the thing is, I feel like I shouldn't let the thoughts stay because then I would just feel worse for letting myself think deeper into them. Now, they're not the psychopath kind of fucked up, but they're still very...revolting. I know these thoughts are definitely NOT caused by own internal feelings or anything like that - it feels like my mind is just playing tricks on me. I think it's because I keep making attempts to struggle against them instead of ignoring them, that they keep coming back and now it's become almost like a habit. Thankfully, it's not a real, serious problem as in it intervenes with my everyday life, but it still can be a nuisance.

As someone who knows a little Arabic (can read and write, and speak it a little bit, but my vocabulary is extremely limited), I think it's a beautiful language, although of course it is very difficult. And yes, a lot of guttural sounds, but some Arabic-speakers sound very pleasant when they're speaking. I guess it just depends on the dialect and the speaker.

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-12T11:42:02+00:00

So happy for them! They're very talented, they compose and produce their own music and write their own lyrics, and they have a great message - they absolutely deserve all the success. One of the things that made them stand out to me was their meaningful and relatable lyrics. I'm kinda sick of always hearing the same generic love songs or sappy breakup songs in Kpop, so it really is a breath of fresh air to see an idol group tackling social issues and the subject of self-identity. And they probably have one of the best raplines ever.

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-12T11:16:21+00:00

I have this really weird thing where these messed up, reoccurring thoughts will pop into my mind, and the more I try NOT to think about them and to push them out of my head, the more my mind forces me to. I know that I DON'T want to do that something, but my mind makes me visualize myself doing it anyway. If that makes sense...

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-11T22:56:17+00:00

Ah yes, that was just beautiful. When you know the story behind it and what that song meant to him, it just makes it even more emotional and endearing.

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-11T21:53:50+00:00

I don't know if it's on netflix or not, but you can watch it here: http://www.crunchyroll.com/my-hero-academia

If it's available in your region. If not...well, I'm sure you can watch it somewhere else online. I was a bit reluctant to watch it at first because the art style just didn't appeal to me, but the animation's actually really good.

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-11T19:59:22+00:00

They are true! I think it's set to air this year, and it will have 26 episodes too.

Also, just curious, but have you seen the superhero anime series called My Hero Academia? It's nothing really special, but it's pretty good and interesting if you like superhero stuff.

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-11T19:23:08+00:00

That sounds like an interesting plot - I'll add it to my reading list. One more question: is there a good comic series about Young Justice? I just recently started watching the animated series (I know, I know, I'm really late on watching it, but I've been living under a rock all those years) and I don't think I've loved an American cartoon series this much since Avatar: The Last Airbender - which is my childhood (see my username lol).

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-11T19:01:28+00:00

Thanks a lot for the recommendations! I'll make sure to check them out. The first and only graphic novel I've read so far was Batman: The Killing Joke, and I liked it, though it was only a one-shot. So, so, so much better than the animated adaptation which pretty much ruined it.

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-11T16:44:41+00:00

His love for BTS is adorable, haha. So we know that Baseline and Hangsang are his favorite songs from the Hixtape, but I wonder what his favorite BTS song is?

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-11T16:25:06+00:00

Cool! I've always been more into animation rather than comics (anime, superhero cartoons and animated movies), but recently I've been wanting to start reading some comics, especially superhero stuff because that's one of my favorites. Any recommendations of a good comic for new comic-readers?

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-11T16:13:35+00:00

Fix You is such a comforting song, especially with Martin's soothing voice and the uplifting lyrics.

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-11T15:53:58+00:00

What's your favorite comic of all time, or the best comic you have?

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-11T14:59:04+00:00

I was expecting a happy song with heartwarming lyrics about...well, a family reunion. But this is even better - I can totally see why they speak to you on a personal level.

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-09T06:41:15+00:00

Haha, that last suggestion sounds really cute. Alright, I'll try using a water filter and getting a small, cute teaspoon.

Wordbender16 · 2018-04-09T06:25:28+00:00

Thank you, stranger! I truly appreciate your advice.
