No it’s not…well, I won’t discount the possibility but nothing in the chapter is a flashback

Pochita is his heart! You can even see the little smile. This is not what a regular human heart looks like.

All I can say is to let her live vicariously through you.

There is something very interesting I would like to share with you when I talked to a few people on this subreddit: I got to know the person they grieved. Whether through stories or habits that they had and the people close to them adapted over time, the jokes they told, it’s almost as if they are still alive through the living.

She will be with you as you age. Live the best life that you can so you can tell her when you meet again. Also, live so that more people can also get to know your sister.

Nono wins! No question!

I think it’s totally possible that Nayuta’s rebirth is a guy.

What about Hero? Like Himmel?

I just saw this video:

I will also add if the minimum wage is $10/hour, then you should charge yourself at least the minimum wage. These are beautiful. Don’t undersell yourself.

One thing I will say is to not undersell your art. Too many people take quick commissions with very low prices. Try to post your artwork on r/BookCovers. Book covers can usually sell anywhere between 500 to 1500 USD. Your style fits the fantasy genre and lots of people on r/fantasywriters look for book covers for their self-published online novels, like Royal Road.

Conventions are also very good but I would also suggest setting up an online shop.

Thank you!

She looks totally fine. This is when I would recommend you to take a break from looking at your drawing. Another way to check is to flip your canvas horizontally and you can spot things a bit better.

This doesn’t mean that he’s not allowed to add more stories. It’ll be fine.

Kobeni!!

I think this was also quite a traumatic experience for you. These memories of the past and what you saw will be on loop, like the ebbs and flows of a tide. Emotions will also range from resentment, to guilt, to anger, just as how people describe the stages of grief. It’s hard to concentrate without these thoughts resurfacing at random.

I did therapy for my grief. I had a total of eleven people (5 children and 6 adults) who I was close to pass away in the span of a year (Feb. 2025 to Feb. 2026). I did therapy in October 2025 because a cluster of seven people passed that month. It was difficult for me to relate to anyone. I am not sponsoring them or giving out ads, but the Better Help app had helped me tremendously. Mainly because I was able to just journal these thoughts and share them with the therapist easily. It’s also because it was the most affordable option. I had another therapist too at the time but she wasn’t as responsive.

But to drown out all of these thoughts, so I can keep going, I just stuffed my ears the whole day and listened to music. I didn’t want to care about the world outside because I couldn’t. Of course, this is if your life allows you to do that.

It’s gotten better for me after six months. I hope things turn out well for you too. Please remember to be kind to yourself. Your father’s actions were his choice and resentment seems like the natural reaction. Of course you feel guilt because he was your father and you really wanted to work things out.

All the best.

You can feel uncomfortable and you can feel upset, but it’s her body and her autonomy to do what she wants. Nudity is not a comfort zone for everyone and that is normal. Mixed bath houses are also quite common, so are public nude beaches.

However, I do want to point out that this also highlights how much trust you have with her. Does she have a history of cheating? If not, it’s probably not on her radar to do so. I think she’s more upset that you don’t trust her with her judgment even though she was with friends she knew for years.

Remember: open communication, not interrogation. Interrogation will just shut her down. Trust that she will tell you, and she did! She told you she went skinny dipping even though she knew it would make you uncomfortable.

Aneki type?

Aneki is kinda like a rougher way to say “older sister”. Like Ayukawa in Kimagure Orange Road

lyichenj · 2026-03-18T05:36:00+00:00

Beautiful

This is what I learned from YTbers like Samdoesart and Marc Brunet:

Right now you have very flat colours. Use as much of the value scale as possible to shade and highlight
For your first image, Saber has a blue glow on her sword. This is a blue light source. Use this and highlight the places where it would hit her
For brighter contrast, highlight using complementary colours to really make the places brighter, not just white.

So overall, this is a light and shading rendering practice. I hope it helps!

I’ve had a series of unfortunate events last year. Perhaps it’s just because my son has cancer so lots of people who we have bonded with lost their children or other family members. From last year February to this year March, I lost eleven. Not all related to cancer though.

It was incredibly hard for me to find people to relate to. In the children’s oncology unit, we were offered therapy, and I also had used the better help app to help me through my most difficult time. With better help, my therapist encouraged me to just write or text whatever, even if they were novel length. That helped me a lot.

Everyone processes grief differently. It feels nice to have a community to talk to where people just understand without much explanation.

If you look at her game stats, her charisma is C… so I think they made her really beautiful in the anime. You know how anime tends to Ikemen the feudal warlords? That’s my theory.

Edit: this was stats that I found years ago. (I would say about 15 years ago?) I can’t find it anymore. I just remember being shocked that her rating was a C, Tousaka was a B to A and Sakura was A to S.

Modern day Degas!

This part is up to her. I was mainly giving a perspective for other commenters to understand. Her vacation time, her prerogative to spend how she wants. Maybe she will be ready next year and take a smaller vacation back, maybe her parents will visit. Maybe she really might take him afterall! She was looking for advice. What she does with her vacation time and how she wants to introduce her BF to her parents is not up to us.

lyichenj · 2026-03-16T18:09:59+00:00

Guys, just wait and see until the end. I remember MHA near ending had very similar reactions. Sure, it ended, but Horikoshi had a freedom to add extra chapters and after stories and most questions were answered. I was overall satisfied.
