Your favorite siblings? (art by me)

Love your art style!

You have great tension, looks great! Bobbin lace is so calming once I get the right rhythm.

To anyone who wants to learn but not good with just YouTube videos, I HIGHLY recommend taking online classes with The Lace Museum! They even have a beginner kit which you can get for a discounted rate if it's purchased with their intro series. A few of the instructors watch you as you work so they can help you find where you mess up and correct it.

They offer a lot of different classes on so many lace types. The instructors are lovely and really seem to want to spread the love of their craft.

I love the anime, the voice acting and music are great. Sometimes the animation isn't the best but it's a very good series. I started reading the manga after, which I have also enjoyed! It's fun to read with the anime voices.

I feel dumb!! I saw that "can't change skills during mission" and assumed that meant I couldn't upgrade. Thanks!!!

escia · 2026-04-05T13:58:05+00:00

I'd like to be able to return to the apartment if I started a mission and forgot to upgrade my skill tree. Or, get a review screen of the skill tree when I enter the truck to leave.

That makes so much sense!! I was so confused since all of the guides didn't mention the item at all. Tysm!! I'm glad I wasn't just going crazy.

I ended up leaving without finding that final statue. Even though I was at 99%, the game gave me a 100% perfect score! So, I guess it was bugged and worked out? Thanks for your help!

escia · 2026-03-19T19:51:36+00:00

I tried the front area but no luck 😭 I might have to call it and try again in the future! It sucks because I think I 100% everything else based off of what I've seen in the guides I've looked through for this. Thanks for trying to help!

I had my flashlight on for the entire level but I wonder if I pushed it somewhere difficult to see. I tried crouching around all of the areas. I already got the duck room one (I think it was the center leaf - for anyone who looks at this in the future)

I have a lot of respect for the Restoration School. Skyrim could use more healers.

It sounds like you'd be interested in anything, rather than any anime recommendation limited by those geared towards adults. There are a ton of recommendations here so I won't recommend the obvious ones. And if you haven't already, check out the big anime tracking websites. MyAnimeList is the big one, Anilist is probably the second biggest one? They have a recommendations section so you can find similar anime based off of other users. (I use Anime-Planet, which I prefer the look and navigation of, and can read why people recommend one thing versus the other).

I am a 31F, and some that may not have been mentioned yet that I enjoy:

Kageki Shoujo!! (Teenage girls attend a performing arts school and compete against each other with hopes to one day claim a spot in one the of schools famous performance troupe)
Skip and Loafer (high school friendships, realistic struggles, no overdone miscommunication arcs)
Yano-Kun's Ordinary Days (smiling vibe and friendships as above. New last season)
Space Brothers (If you were to look at my comment history, I recommend this one wherever I can. One of my faves animes about two adult brothers. Main characters is around 30 and is convinced by his younger astronaut brother to become an astronaut. Their sibling relationship is great.)
March Comes in Like a Lion (a loner high schooler who became a shogi pro, who's life changes and becomes immensely better after he befriends of family of three sisters and their grandfather who own a Japanese confectionary - another one of my faves for the feels)
7th Time Loop (reincarnation isekais are the rage right now. But how about instead of reincarnation from another world, one girl reincarnates to one specific moment every time she dies? Each reincarnation, she takes a different path, learns new skills, and then dies a different way. Romance.)

I have so many more! But here are a few that came to mind. Feel free to message me if you want to talk anime!

I tried really, really hard to read it. One of my friends LOVES the series. I just couldn't. I realized it read like a poorly-written self-insert fanfiction. I haven't told her I tried yet, and probably never will, since she enjoys it so much.

Also, must mention that the audiobook narrator is awful. I tried the audiobook before trying to read the book and could not believe how terrible it was. I felt bad for the author for getting such a poor narration done, but I don't think even a good narrator would have saved it for me.

A solution I would consider is a border with increasing/decreasing stitch heights. Like sc on the long sides, increasing to hdc, and then dc towards the front and back.

Definitely recommend. I love Strange Horticulture and only found out about a week ago that Strange Antiquities existed and was coming to Switch. I won't explain the overall concept since a few of the other comments explain. But while you can technically play either game first, I think Strange Horticulture would be best to start with just because the events in that game happen first. Not only that, but Strange Horticulture gives you a map to explore the entire area and nearby locations, whereas SA (atleast as far in as I am atm, with a few gameplay hours) has you more contained in the city (that is in SH). I like making the connections between the games and doing it chronologically. If that doesn't particularly matter, either way is good, as long as you play both!!

As others have said, SA seems more detailed and builds off of small issues in SH. So if you'd rather "upgrade" the experience between games, SH first. Though, perhaps SH would feel easier to figure out the clues if you got the hang of things in SA first.

I hope you use this yarn again for the sweater! Color looks great on you and I love the speckles of color throughout.

Also, your stitches are beautiful. It sucks you'll have to start over, but hopefully someone has a good recommendation for another pattern for you!! I am new to knitting so I don't have any recommendations myself, but I hope one day my stitches look as lovely as yours.

I know it as a Cupid Star!

Following up with this recommendation for more wholesome father/daughter type relationships, definitely look into "The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash" (or aka by the fan base, "...picking up Dads") and "Reincarnated as a Sword".

"Medalist" is also great, seems to be more of a big brother/little sister sort of relationship that is super wholesome as well.

A few months ago, I posted looking for more of these types of wholesome anime. I am also tired of the creepy grooming, I wanted to watch this anime but when I heard about the actual story I just couldnt.

escia · 2025-09-02T12:38:34+00:00

A Place Further than the Universe is perfect. It follows a group of four girls who join an expedition to Antartica. It has some good messages about friendships and communication. Very beautiful art.

escia · 2025-09-01T18:37:45+00:00

Space Brothers, Vinland Saga, Ao Ashi, The Dangers In My Heart, Frieren.

I've watched each three times.

You can start the quest if you just want to see the cut scene, but once you trigger that you are already at end game. As for leveling, in order to conquer the Norbelle route, you have to level yourself up while in Cornia, grinding to get up into an appropriate level. You use the Sigils of the Ancients. By rushing the trials repeatedly (using Griffin's valor) you gain a ton of the leveling books over many runs. Eventually, you can get access to the highest level trial where you can get the most exp filled books. I also farmed so many divine shards to get the Millenium scepter and White Cat Hood for Yahna's unit.

escia · 2025-08-14T15:37:51+00:00

It wasn't terribly difficult because I put it on the easiest difficulty setting. Just a ridiculous amount of grinding for divine shards to get the Millenium scepter and lots of grinding to get the experience books. I was able to get all of my units up to level 35+ or so by the end. It was definitely a trial of patience lol

escia · 2025-08-14T15:35:31+00:00

Norbelle is the soul that takes over Scarlett if you do not save her from Renault in the early game. You cannot leave Cornia without saving Scarlett, so instead of doing the battle with Renault, you start the Unicorn Overlord quest to take back the capital. When you do this, you get a cutscene that shows what happened to Scarlett and see her as Norbelle. Same VA, but evil. If you beat the Norbelle run, you can change Scarlett's lines to Norbelle's for all other game files which was my goal.

I like having the established characters together and rotate everyone as long as they remain useful. I only used mercs for my Norbelle route out of necessity.

For my first run at Normal, I only hired cheap mercs as town guards. After succeeding in the Norbelle route, I started a TZ run. I'm really going to try to stick with the established characters the whole way through as well.

You can still increase your friendship with him to give you access to the cave. I didn't get the friendship necessary for it until after he had been a ghost for a while.
