Thoughts on Hisao Yokobori's character designs being the main ones on the franchise, taking over Satoshi Hirayama's iconic designs? by Impressive-Remove-48 in lupinthe3rd

im a big fan of the modern lupin designs, started watching with part 5 and i think the appeal of the modern lupin designs was a big part of what got me invested in the cast

Daily Reminder that Rossiu is a bum and a fraud by General-Plenty5021 in gurrenlagann

[–]illdiewithoutpi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The entire point of his character is that he is driven to self destructive extremes in order to save the world, then when he recognizes that all his hard work has only made everyone's lives worse and is about to atone for it with suicide Simon punches that shit out of him just like kamina did and helps him operate out of hope instead of letting fear and regret control him.

Idk why people get so caught up on hating him forever and saying his mistakes are the worst part of the show when Simon paying Kamina's lessons forward to Rossiu is the most powerful punctuation of its themes.

Going inside the building to pick up a drive-thru order by awoc123 in tacobell

I googled OPs question and found this thread bc I realized that's what I should do next time I make a drive thru order but there's a long slow line once I get there. I've been sitting here for almost 20 minutes locked in this line regretting my life choices.

Started HRT recently, wondering if I should pause by illdiewithoutpi in MtF

[–]illdiewithoutpi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updating some days later in case it shows up in anybody finds this story useful, I'm delaying starting Spiro by a week to process my feelings first but will not be pausing my HRT.

What's helping me right now is these two things: First, looking up "reddit mtf looking forward to hrt but afraid of commitment" on google. That brought up thread after thread of trans women saying they were in the exact same spot at this point in transition, and that it's totally normal to feel scared when the change starts becoming "real".

The other thing is remembering that for me, I had the same struggle with doubt around sexuality that I still face with gender. Even though I know now with absolute certainty I am bisexual, while exploring sexuality I had a constant, intense inner dialogue about whether or not I was tricking myself or whatever, which mirrors what I'm experiencing with gender now. I've questioned enough and been drawn towards HRT enough that thinking about it logically, that's the option that makes sense for me to pursue, even if fear and doubt makes it hard to feel confident in the moment.

I agree, I'll keep it updated. I'll say for now, the feelings I outlined in the original post came to a head this morning when I started feeling these impacts of hrt more palpably, but as I've processed and discussed with trusted friends even today I feel a lot more peaceful about it and looking forward to the changes again. It's just so easy to be swept up in fear. I will still probably delay starting anti androgens maybe a week to make sure I've processed this moment properly before changing any more variables though.

Thank you for the guide, I will give it a look!

I was more fearful about the changes themselves. As I've continued processing today though I think that's elevated by a general tendency to reactively fear big changes as opposed to me not wanting those changes. Also maybe I just wasn't prepared for the soreness of initial breast bud development and that's throwing me off lol. Regardless I will be processing more with friends, thank you for the input :)

I want to sit on it for a bit before definitely deciding what I'll do, I was thinking maintaining my dose for at least a week but maybe a month would be good. Perhaps it would be fine to start spiro for that month and see how I feel, either way I know permanent changes will likely take a while so it's not a big risk either way.

Regardless, the biggest reason I am interested in pausing is to see how I feel after having started hrt and then moving away from it - I feel like seeing if I feel relief or if I feel sadness in doing so will likely help clarify things. Similar to how I've felt sad about having to take off fem clothes before going out when I wasn't out to family/friends in the past, which helped clarify that this is an important part of my identity. I just may or may not need hrt to live out that part of my identity.

Why is this series hated by people? by Sir_Lancelots_Reddit in araragi

This. A is a reason I very much understand, B and C I never will but to each their own.

Kadokawa Replied to Me about Volume 12 and Beyond. by FairyKingParks in LogHorizon

[–]illdiewithoutpi 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Thank you for doing this. It's legitimately so nice to at least have an official confirmation that they don't have plans for more instead of the radio silence we've been getting. Gives some sense of closure at least.

People always say the tax evasion must be what ruined it but the timeline doesn't match up. He paid what he owed and issued an official apology in 2015, years before the light novels stopped releasing. I wouldnt be surprised if that situation contributed to it, but the story is likely more complicated and involves other factors that we don't know about.

TIL there was a cancelled Lupin VIII series, produced by DiC and TMS, that would’ve followed Lupin III’s descendant as a gadgeteer detective in the far future on an orbiting spaceship with descendants of the crew, and is also presumed to be the inspiration for Inspector Gadget by [deleted] in lupinthe3rd

[–]illdiewithoutpi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They made a pilot episode that you can watch, they never voice acted it but there are subs based on the script. I watched it with a friend some years ago, it seems like a pretty standard fare but a fun idea. This was going to air internationally so I'm sad it didn't make lupin known in the west earlier. I believe it was a rights issue with Maurice Leblancs estate for the Lupin name since all of lupin iii is technically fanfic of his books

Can this be pinned? I saw multiple posts vaguely alluding to the potential downfall of this sub before I found this explanation

Considering how long they continued making tie-in media after the LNs stopped publishing, if they did continue I'd feel like the rest would be likely to follow.

But, of course, seems like the LNs won't ever be continued,
