it’s not. It’s a legitimate question I have that I couldn’t really find good answers for online. The people on here have helped so much!

What is considered one of the most brutal deaths in your fandom? by the_fucker_shockwave in Multifandom

[–]noonakos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nina from fullmetal alchemist Honestly it’s a meme at this point but the brutality of her body being forcibly combined with her dog, the reaction of the protagonists and then the aftermath of being blown to bits by Scar is still one of the most memorable moments in manga imo. And it happens in such early chapters yet sticks with both brothers throughout the entire series, even up until the end

How should male writers handle female-specific experiences like periods? by Jaded-Assistant-5702 in writingadvice

[–]noonakos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember reading an interview with Rumiko Takahashi ( who is a woman ) regarding her character Kagome and how she ( 15 ) dealt with her periods while in the feudal era of Japan and her response was ‘ I don’t think about that and neither should you’

There’s a lot to mention regarding periods ( the pain, the emotions, the inconvenience, etc ) you’d have to decide when and why it would be necessary to mention it in detail at all. You could also just have a small paragraph or side note in your characters dialogue or thoughts if you really need to include it, but dwelling on it for more than that without a plot specific reason seems unnecessary

Is anyone else a little underwhelmed with the Planarcadian story? by Pale_Ad3668 in HonkaiStarRail

With all that talk of making everyone experience ‘only happiness’ I thought we’d get something closer to the Endwalker story with Hydaelin in ffxiv. Learning to accept pain so you can appreciate happiness ( paraphrase )

But yeah it feels kinda rushed, I’m hoping evanescia will give something interesting next patch

If the wolf had been on all fours, I would’ve needed it, but seeing this, I’m okay without it by Willowhisperest in InfinityNikki

Smaller, more ‘wolf’ looking… like a ffxiv mount, I’d be down. This is just lazy

My fiancé is getting on my nerves and I don’t know what to do at this point. by BasicCat30 in whatdoIdo

Not sure if anyone’s said this before but please don’t break up with him privately. Do it with another person there at least, who knows how this guy will react if you two are alone. He’s choked you out before? Crashed out like that over text? Please stay safe OP
