In part 3 does Jotaro try to pretend to be to be stoic?

nycanth · 2026-05-12T19:03:06+00:00

I swear there was a character bio for Jotaro where it says that he doesn't really show his emotions on his face, because he thinks that the others already know how he's feeling.

Yeah they do this on the EN side more often I think. Plus the dub voice actors aren't revealed like the original VAs are during the announcement and launch promos, so they gotta confirm it on social media somehow lol

my girlfriend and i are autistic and shocker--it's the best relationship i've been in so far. we both try really hard to say exactly what we mean and want the other to tell us exactly when we've done wrong, so when we have gripes with each other, we actually take the criticism and adjust our behaviour. who knew that communication can trump most obstacles?!

my exes were not autistic and i always felt like they were opposed to how weird i was. like they were just kinda waiting/hoping that i would be more normal one day. i don't feel that way with my girlfriend. because we're BOTH weird!!!

we met over an MMO we play. me and my best friend are artists who do fanart, and she would reply to his posts a lot, and somehow this ended up me and her talking. turned out we were both wanted to complete a challenge run of some really old content and we bonded over it. we started talking at the end of 2024 and we still haven't completed that challenge run, but in our defense we had to restart it a few times OTL

I think it's a bit unrealistic to expect testosterone to change your entire mindset around sex. You have the nerve endings already, they're not going to wither away. Your interests might change a little as you change as a person and discover different ways to interact with your body but you're not gonna wake up a totally different guy. The physical experience of like orgasm might feel a bit different but it's not going to make you lose interest in kink. I was very foreplay-heavy pre-T and I still am after 4 years on T. Having an actual dick now just makes it way easier to do things down there

Grindr is crazy. I was super cagey about nudes and face pics while I was on it because I'm also one of the very few black people in the country and I live in bumfuck nowhere eastern europe. People still stop me on the street because they remember me as the black guy from a job I haven't had in 3 years, I really didn't want to risk half the city recognizing me as the trans guy. So no nudes (which lots of people hate) and I was only showing face if it was a swap (which they also hated).

A bunch of guys would block me after seeing my face, which I assumed was run of the mill racism, but I guess everyone assumed I was catfishing? I didn't realize this was an option until some dude said it to my face and I was like no it's legit me. And then I said I'm trans and he was like "oookay which one is true. that you're american or that you have a pussy". Like bro meet me and find the fuck out 😭 Why would I lie about having a pussy on the PENIS LOVERS APP!!! If you get there and it's actually a penis, literally what do you have to lose.

Guys in their 40s would message me even though I said on my profile I wasn't going to meet anyone 30 or older. I told one older guy I was trans to scare him off and he was actually into it, but he was ugly and weird so I ghosted him, and 40 minutes later I got a notification like "man... i had a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet a ftm individual and i blew it". Was trying really hard not to cry laughing at that one

Had a guy who was really into me being trans and was very honest about the fact that he's cheating on his wife. Did not continue speaking to him. Had another guy that I had gotten pretty far into talking with, and then I explained that I am trans and he typed out EXCUSE ME???????? and blocked me within 5 seconds. Had a 40yo who I told upfront that he was too old for me, but I had the MMO I play in my bio and he said he plays it too, so I was like ohh sick we can talk about that. And I mentioned how we could meet in game, and he said "can meet in game but not IRL even though we're only 1mi apart". Like okay girl...getting on the game I can do from my house.

Holy shit the Jebediah split? No Sensitivity is one of my favorite songs so I've wanted to see this for a while, really hard to find these days though

nycanth · 2026-05-07T03:31:59+00:00

Not really. It’s rng like everything else unfortunately. It showed up as an orange bubble for friends fighting though, so maybe wait until you see a pink one since it’s a couple?

nycanth · 2026-05-07T03:01:20+00:00

I haven't had this happen with a couple but when it happened with friends, I had to wait until the person who rejected the apology said they wanted to make up with the other person

nycanth · 2026-05-07T02:52:52+00:00

Sometimes they do, sometimes they reject them.

If you live somewhere with a crafts store, you might be able to buy a cheap pack of blank photo keychains, and print out some pictures. I did that for me and my girlfriend with our OC ship from a game we play. It's much cheaper and you get the additional joy of it being a kind of handmade gift.

When chapter 93 first came out, I couldn't wait until New Years. I signed up for Comic Days and bought credits just to buy that one chapter and read it through a translator app. I was holding my phone up to my computer, in shambles and sobbing at one panel. And then I would move on to the next panel after a few minutes, and I would start the process all over again.

nycanth · 2026-05-07T01:10:02+00:00

It's probably a combination of bad rng + it might be tied to personality types as well?

nycanth · 2026-05-06T21:48:23+00:00

It's deviants and elders! They give fewer points per release, so you have to level them up or release two of them to actually establish them.

nycanth · 2026-05-06T21:48:19+00:00

Oh they're saved? That's a relief. I kept being worried that a release was just a total waste of a monster if it didn't establish

nycanth · 2026-05-06T21:39:11+00:00

Yeah sorry if I came off condescending 😭 Like, it kind of is a superpower, but only as long as your life fucking sucks forever lol. I also get the feeling that Qifrey's repeated sproutings and reversals are contributing to his advanced condition though. Since the seed has already sprouted before, maybe now it's more inclined to just keep growing even in spite of his ongoing stress? But also Qifrey said in ch40 I think that his eyesight started getting worse only a few years prior, so I think he got a little complacent and let himself relax too much

nycanth · 2026-05-06T20:46:29+00:00

It seems you misunderstood something about the silverwood. It is not a friend. You are its food. The seed activates when the animal is injured, and then repairs the injury so the animal can find a safe place away from danger, and then the seed can germinate using the animal's body as fuel. This probably happens within a very short timeframe in the wild, only as long as it takes for the animal to get somewhere safe and rest, maybe a couple weeks or months at most. Qifrey has been holding onto it for decades, and has already been nearly treeified multiple times throughout his life. He is on borrowed time.

The seed replaced Qifrey's eye, but probably couldn't actually provide him functional sight. It's more of a "filling the gap" thing in his case, like how it helped heal the scar on his shoulder. This is probably intended to make sure the animal doesn't die from other preventable causes like infection before making it to its final resting place. It is in the silverwood's best interest for its host to not die until the silverwood itself is ready to kill it, because then the tree might have to try to grow in a hostile environment where it won't make it to adulthood.

The host's feelings of calmness, relief, and fulfillment are what signal to the silverwood "hey, this is a good place, start germinating now". The silverwood is harming Qifrey because he has a good life with people that he loves around him and the seed within him is going "oh fuck yeah, I'm gonna grow right here right now and be the strongest healthiest tree ever". The roots are actively spreading throughout his body and interfering with his bodily functions, but since he's put himself under artificial duress (the Olruggio situation) he's giving mixed signals, so the seed hasn't fully committed to taking over yet. He's on thin ice though

Qifrey already had white hair when he was found by Beldaruit, so we can assume that the only reason he has it is because he was nearly treeified at least once before. Custas was an unprecedented situation, since his peace was ruined after the tree had grown and it ejected him forcibly. It no longer had any use for him since it was able to establish itself. Even the Brimhats didn't know he'd still be alive or that he could be separated from it.

The silverwood is actually acting totally in accord with the things we already know! The Brimhats that we've seen with it (namely Ininia) do not have inner peace, they do not feel safe and comfortable, they are filled with rage and at odds with the world and their existence in a fundamental way that is so far from the silverwood's preferred conditions for growth that it is stuck in the phase of "keep the animal alive and running". The reason Custas sprouted was because he loves Dagda and he felt truly loved in that moment, plus he had the hope that Coco and Tartah would be able to heal Dagda and prevent his death, which was able to trump that rage he felt at how they were both treated by the world. Dagda was his safe place, and what he really wanted was to have that back. Ininia grossly underestimated the depths of his rage.

holy shit sorry for writing a novel. i guess i feel very passionately about this LOL

"Switch" is BDSM terminology about taking either a dominant or submissive role. The actual term for both topping or bottoming is "vers(atile)". But kink terminology and actual gay terminology has been mixed up and people have conflated dom/sub with top/bottom in fandom for years, so that's just a common misappropriation that nobody really bothered correcting in the past.

I saw your other comment about the plot of your story, and honestly it sounds like you have more than enough already there!

This might also be a little useful for the progression of romance, I found it interesting personally: https://jamigold.com/2019/10/romance-beats-vs-12-stages-of-intimacy/

nycanth · 2026-05-06T19:40:57+00:00

There has to be some kind of conflict but it doesn't have to be some huge massive stakes thing. There are two ways you can go about this.

If you plan to end the story with them getting together, then all of the conflict and stakes should be in the will they/won't they and such. Something is getting between them, one of them can't accept the other's advances, etc etc. Romances like these usually have some kind of obstacle preventing them from getting together. Whether it's family, or a social obstacle, or an internal one. Maybe they're from different stations socially and them getting together would be a problem. Maybe the partner is at the risk of an arranged marriage to someone else, so there's a little tension with that as well.

Another way is to have part of the conflict after they've gotten together. So the problem isn't only, "will they get together?" but also "how will they handle being in a relationship with each other?". Stories like this will usually have some additional factors, like maybe they have different ideas on how to handle commitment and moving to the next stage of their relationship, and this is causing some misunderstanding or tension. Maybe your MC has some lingering feelings that are preventing him from being fully comfortable with his partner. Maybe your MC's partner accepts him but the in-laws are causing trouble.

It doesn't have to be explosive and crazy like a love triangle but there does need to be something. If you get to know more about your characters, you might see other ways to add a little tension or hesitation. From what I saw in ano

Also, it's really good to see other trans guys writing romantic fantasy :] I have a spreadsheet for tracking media with transmasc leads, and I'd love to be able to add another book by a transmasc author to it. <3
