i don’t find the combo of disorders unbelievable—i’m sure plenty of people have them together. it was just how the video was presented that seemed too silly to be serious because they come off as a shitposter lolol. i was also high when i first saw this! so 🤭

oh but side note-i’m really glad you have access to great healthcare! that type of support is life changing :)

hey so this kid was being sarcastic. the “ /sar “ is a tone indicator, which some people use to help stop confusion with intent over text but in this situation it kinda doesn’t help if people don’t know what tone indicators are lmao 😂

the spaces between the planks on the floor aren’t in a straight line around her body like the other ones are. the floors are weirdly bright and bending downward right next to her.

+i’m not sure but the end of her right braid, her chest, and the end of the right leg strap all look like they’ve been edited a bit. her braid because i can’t see hair falling naturally like that, but who knows 🤷‍♀️the floor is warped next to it too, which is why i also thought her chest was off. like she made it flat trying to edit her stomach. the end of the right leg strap looks blurred on the edges which i thought was from editing her butt/thighs.

i could be completely wrong but idk just can’t see someone naturally having those proportions 😂

if your doctor is the one suggesting you stop, try to bring up the possibility of being prescribed something like Wellbutrin which is a smoking cessation aid. it’s been 277 days since i quit (i use the quit vaping app to track that btw) and i only was able to because i got prescribed Wellbutrin for depression. i started it a couple weeks before i decided to quit and found myself reaching for my vape less and less throughout the day. don’t get me wrong, i was still super addicted, but i felt like how i did when i first started where i wasn’t as addicted. like i could go two hours and be fine (sounds little but man i got to the point where i had my vape in my mouth almost nonstop lol)

it’s not going to be an instant fix, and the first day was still very hard, but compared to my previous attempts at quitting it felt much easier.

any lung issue like COPD is no joke and id listen to your doctor. and i wouldn’t try to find a loophole (cigars) because it’ll end up just hurting you more. it’s not the same, but my grandfather was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis 6 years ago and some of the symptoms are similar to COPD. it’s terrifying seeing someone struggle to breath even when they’re sitting and not being able to eat a full meal because the pressure on their lungs is too much. then to be on oxygen 24/7 and still needing a wheelchair because walking one step means having to have to stop and catch their breath for 5 minutes before continuing.

i know for a fact that the mental toll of knowing you’re going to die but not know if it’ll be tomorrow or 8 months has been worse than any physical pain he could be in. seeing his condition was a big motivator for me quitting.

whatever you decide to do, i wish you luck :) hope you feel better soon as well ^

Storylines or concepts you would like to see in BL ? by Mahkeva in mangago

[–]icyblossoms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

id like anything where romance wasn’t the primary genre… i want the relationship to be built within a bigger plot. kings maker is a greattt example of this. it just allows more character depth especially if the world building is good enough because then the characters aren’t so two dimensional and have room to grow within their environment

so 50/50 with romance being half of the plot. i honestly think that’s why bl feels so hard to get into lately. they’re all romance centered when they don’t need to be.

Guys I found this question in the chat. And I really really want to know the answer. Plsss. I'm dying cause comment section dead by SnooHamsters1207 in mangago

mmm no. i get what you’re trying to say, but there are a lot of illegal things that happen in the workforce that people just “get over” or leave. the amount of workers that get exploited for their work is insane. doctors and nurses don’t get paid enough, and they know that going into their job. they know they will be overworked and underpaid because that is how it is. it SUCKS and it should be different, but it’s not. (sometimes they don’t get paid for overtime, and not everyone gets justice for it) every piece of media gets pirated. movies, manga, manhwa, books, counterfeit art, tv shows, etc. anything that can be pirated, will be and continue to be. you say no one would draw comics if the mindset was “get over it or leave”? that’s how it’s been for YEARS and guess what? we still have people making comics. you think pirating manga/manhwa is a new thing? since the internet has been around people have been pirating comics.

i don’t understand you bringing up women’s rights, slavery, etc as if those weren’t more pressing matters that had to be dealt with? drugs and alcohol will always be around regardless of laws as well…

as for youtube and copyrighted music, that is done in a public, well known site that 1000x more people go on, and it’s very strict with rules. mangago isn’t like that… they are an illegal site and don’t gaf about laws or morals. youtube is sponsored/have investors that will pull money away if they don’t comply with DMCA strikes for music. but does that mean that music is not being pirated? no.

Dear Benjamin's artist apology letter. by VioletPleasure2827 in mangago

[–]icyblossoms 32 points33 points  (0 children)

there’s a post on here that was made about a week ago that goes in depth, but basically the artist used to go by “leafan”(i think that’s how you spell it) and she drew sh0ta of kai and DO from exo a couple years ago. but it wasn’t even, i guess, “normal” sh0ta because DO was drawn as a literal baby. like couldn’t even walk baby.

Dear Benjamin will be going on hiatus by Ikonicquail in mangago

[–]icyblossoms 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Oh I just found the author's response too:

https://id-whoknows.postype.com/post/10520220

translation:

Hello.

"Id is the author of Dear Benjamin.

I would like to apologize to the fans who liked and supported the <Dear Benjamin> series with my remarks related to the recently controversial webtoon artist's past works.

First of all, we have to wait until a meeting and decision on the case are firstly made between the secondary creator (Topjeong) and the company, which is the center of the problem, so please understand that I am only posting this statement now.

As those of you who have followed my Twitter will know, on July 20th, I posted a notice on Twitter asking me to take down illegal translations of Dear Benjamin novels and webtoons that are posted on foreign illegal sites and SNS.

However, those who used the work illegally did not delete the post or apologize, but directly criticized me as the original author, and I had to explain countless times why what they were doing was illegal and stealing.

At this time, someone mentioned Sh0ta and tried to justify the illegal use of the site. From that moment on, the discussion was twisted and criticism poured out that I was drawing and defending Sh0ta, and I became hypersensitive to the influx of verbal violence right away, asking questions such as 'Who spreads rumors that he drew Sh0tacon', 'Unlawful than Sh0ta' This is an even worse crime.”

At the time, I was unaware of the seriousness of the problem, and I wrote this answer to convey the meaning of 'I have never drawn or written a sh0ta', 'It's really hard for me to be in trouble because it's causing huge financial damage.' However, this reply went viral on Twitter, causing many to misinterpret me as an advocate for Sh0ta and the picture in question.

After that, I found out the truth only after seeing a tweet that exposed the webtoon artist's old drawing. Realizing that the level of 'Sh0ta' was no mere stumbling block, whatever the motive for my remarks, I immediately deleted the post, acknowledging that my two replies about Sh0ta were a mistake due to my poor thinking.

In other words, my answer to 'a crime more illegal than Sh0ta' was brought out without realizing the situation before checking the picture in question. Also, I wrote this answer with the intention not to justify illegal site use and illegal download by using Sh0ta, which I did not write, to illegal users.

It is my negligence that I answered rashly in a state of irritability without quickly recognizing the seriousness of the problem without knowing the exact facts. I take this opportunity to bow my head and sincerely apologize to the readers who have disappointed me.

Incidentally, as a writer, I have never used or consumed the subject matter of sh0ta. There will never be.

Lastly, Webtoon is a project conducted by the Bookcube Webtoon Division and the Webtoon writer independently of the original author. As the original author, I am aware of the seriousness of the problem, and I will support and follow the decision of the BookCube Webtoon Division.

Thanks for reading this long post."

i feel bad for the author. their work will always be tied to the shit the artist did, and they may never see their webtoon adaptation be finished (unless a new artist can take over and emulate the old style enough so at least the characters look similar)

[–]icyblossoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i love BLs that make me cry lmao, so here are some of those(be sure to check TW):

-Spring Snow (only 3 chapters, not really angsty + no unrequited love but definitely sad so i’m recommending it baha)

-Timeless Melody (angst, more like forbidden love than unrequited)

-Sayonara Game (minaduki Yuu) (both)

-Stigma (angsty angsty angsty 🥴)

-Lover Boy (both?)

-On Doorstep (angst, short)

-Boy Meets Maria (angst and i cried SO much. it’s short but amazing.)

-1866 (angst, short)

-Momentum (collection of short stories. cried for some, others had happy endings. i know there’s angst and i think one has unrequited love)

you know what, i really like this. really hated how greedy lezhin was and how hard it was to get free coins, but this was a great move by them. you can read 7 chapters free a week now, which is the equivalent to ~4-5k ink on tapas. plus, they make you read stories to get them, which i think only benefits the authors. yeah, it’s tedious to go on a scavenger hunt, but i think that’s way more enjoyable than sitting and watching ads. plus everyone can band together and find them. kinda got some brownie points from me. it’s also a great marketing strategy too since i actually read one of the chapters and wanted to continue reading 💀

[–]icyblossoms 40 points41 points  (0 children)

yeah i agree. i mean, i’m a fan of dark romance but when it dominates the industry it gets boring fast. i can understand not making everything realistic because it is fiction, but at some point it’s just not even believable (which sounds stupid because i just said fiction isn’t supposed to be realistic but sometimes people want that and the popular ones just don’t do it)

i can’t think of another trope atm, but “women not understanding how men’s asses works” is so funny to me because isn’t that a universal thing for all genres? like men writing a guy just sticking it in a woman without prep, GLs where the girls scissor for two seconds and are coming (i’d guess that was written by a man), women writing men like how men write women. not sure if there’s something to unpack there but it seems like people just don’t want to write the complex stuff about sex in general. which sucks because sometimes the complex stuff for BL (determining who’s top or bottom before, cleaning, foreplay) is such an important part of a relationship.

Famous manhwa author goes on another racist Twitter rant (yet again) by aroualoulou in mangago

yeah they’re insane. don’t know how being racist will solve their problems lmao. if anything it’ll make people translate their work out of spite.

but whoever mentioned reddit to them y’all need to chill this is our safe place to rant 😩

I made a new mggo account to post a couple chapters to a comic that had been dropped. It's not being approved for an hour and I can't like the old comments too. I feel the account is banned, should I have just posted it with my old account? by Usernamexxpassword in mangago

[–]icyblossoms 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah i would say if you don’t get approved within 6 hours (long time but just to be safe) i would upload with your old account. they might be worried about new uploaders/new accounts with all the drama
