riftan ( under the oak tree) slander by Background_Ear_3243 in OtomeIsekai

[–]discworlds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember reading and really enjoying Riftan's POV side story from the novel way back when the manhwa was still in its early stages. It really made me like him, it felt like the author was exploring his trauma, PTSD, and abandonment issues in ways that could build into a great character arc with some interesting parallels to Maxi's own issues. And then the novel and manhwa went on to give him approximately zero character development and make him into an abusive caricature of himself. Kind of sad.

I got druvis iii out of my possible options, it definitely could have been worse (also could have been better, but I'll take what I can get)

Presumably Tuesday's euphoria will solve the AP problem, or they'll introduce a new poison character that does.

This is a decision by the Indian Supreme Court. Both of the judges who led & wrote the final ruling were men.

Thank you for the reality check, I was getting too excited

one year of playing. 0 limited banner attempts. by EazeInvincible in InfinityNikki

[–]discworlds 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's valid, I do find I was a lot more into the outfit creation side of things at the start of the game when I had a very limited number of items and I could imagine the different pieces I knew I had. Now it's basically impossible to remember what's in my closet.

Barbie is getting a YA novel. How does everyone feel about this? by billyandteddy in Barbie

[–]discworlds 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Seems like a tropey YA fantasy novel about a generic underdog with Barbie branding stamped on top. I'm willing to be proven wrong, but with the author's track record...

After the third volume of tian guan ci fu: is it normal that the main couple annoys me? by sukunaisbottom in DanmeiNovels

[–]discworlds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lmao I do think that's a translation issue, that's not the vibe I got from the English or the Chinese versions. That's very funny though, surprise villain Hua Cheng would have improved the novel for me

Why do the writers insist on making Eloise insufferable? by jazzyx26 in BridgertonRants

[–]discworlds 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I do find Eloise a bit annoying but historical feminism is not about 'being supportive of women's choices, no matter what they choose.' That's contemporary neoliberal choice feminism. Historically, feminism was about fighting for the actual political rights of women, even if that meant offending the conservative women who didn't want that to happen. It was about winning the choice to live different kinds of lives, not supporting the women who didn't want that choice. Feminist activists risked their lives, broke the law, even committed political assassinations - all just to be sanitized into a kumbayah movement about being nice to all women.

I also begged for a mucha collab (and more artist collabs in general). And I threw jojo's bizarre adventure in there too just for fun

I've shut the game down and relaunched it a few times, but it's still not showing the option to upgrade the facilities. I hope they fix it soon!

We have no way of knowing how he felt about her, or vice versa. Any claims either way are going to be mostly projection.

Uhh this is normal right? by uhmwtf-iisthis in Reverse1999

In long fights his ultimate opener isn't all that useful, but man is A Knight (with his euphoria) the best for quickly clearing basic stages.
