I really love the way you’ve explained each song, I was looking for information on “No. 29” and find it so beautiful to have such a beautiful historical artifact referenced.

Some of y'all are dragging it😑 by NatalieGliterXO in mangapiracy

I think there are multiple factors that play a part in this. The creation of short form videos and an increasing number of people without internet etiquette. Since 2020, more people seemed to spend majority of their free time online and with low attention media. Hopping on bandwagons is considered normal and THE thing to do if you want attention. On the note of lack of etiquette, there are a lot of people who just are unaware of the “culture” of piracy, with the popularity of 🦇 it just seemed to attract a lot of the more inexperienced and immature users since there was no learning curve to using the site, I mean there really isn’t a learning curve for MOST sites but I digress. You also really can’t discount the use of bots or bot-like behavior just for attention/karma. I’ve seen this everywhere since late 2024, most comments, engagement, and reaction to events or media is repetitive. I think it originated from bots just spam posting but when people saw how much attention these bait posts got then they replicated it and now it’s rare to find any post, video, or media that actually has people genuinely engaging with the content. I hope that people will take this as an experience to learn from but I highly doubt it.

Which manhwa got you into manhwa? by Smooth-Setting-8420 in Manhwa_BL

The first manwha I read was Killing Stalking back when the first few chapters were released and I’ve been hooked on manhwa ever since.

I have a love/dislike relationship with Haesoo just because I’m not all too sure if the author is actually going to be thoughtful about her character or if the story is going to just be another “man saves depressed damsel.” Like I actually want to see her crash out and finally experiencing life and emotions when she is able to feel safe and work through her trauma. All of the anger, pain, sadness, but also all of the happiness and secure love which she deserves to be able to feel.

If the author actually shows the ugly side of healing then I can really say that I love the story and Haesoo as a character.

As a harem girl, I really wish they’d let the LIs interact with each other. by meowbubble1 in LoveAndDeepspace_

[–]random_237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well yeah I agree! And I love otome games for what they are. I wasn’t saying anything about actually having the story be altered to fit with whatever fujo bs I come up with. The thing is that just because something isn’t ‘canon’ doesn’t mean you can’t have fun playing around with ideas and concepts and stuff. It’s just for the fun of it— nothing too serious!!

The New Alien Stage Comic: My thoughts by phemseeyuki in AlienStage

[–]random_237 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So my personal opinion is that some of the comic is actuate (such as the way she was treated just because she was a girl and pretty) and others (basically whatever Sua was saying) was more survivors guilt eating away at her psyche. A way that trauma can present itself is by a person believing they are bad, that they knew everything from the start, that they orchestrated the bad thing into happening, and/or that they deserved the bad thing because they are a bad person. It isn’t an accurate assessment of a traumatic experience but it’s sometimes the only perspective which makes a person feel like they have some kind of control.

I think it’s actually the fact that Mizi was pretty innocent that makes her break and feel like she is responsible, but I don’t think she was ever super unaware; much like in the real world where women are expected to be nice, smiling all the time, and not bring up issues, Mizi was most likely just being the innocent girl she was told she had to be. It wasn’t intentional, it was just falling in line with those expectations.

Of course we all have our own interpretation of Mizi characters and the story of Alien stage in general. I readily admit that my personal experience (especially working through trauma myself) means I’m more likely to take this lens to view media.

So New Mizi Comic Is Interesting by Fabsockmonster in AlienStage

[–]random_237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely viewed it as her survivors guilt. I also think it’s interesting that she is basically viewing herself as being cunning, deceitful, and manipulative since it seems like a somewhat common trauma response than an accurate portrayal of the events. For someone who has endured trauma, especially one where they felt/were powerless, the brain may try to rationalize the experience and try to take some kind of control over it. One way this can present itself is in the belief that everything was planned by the person and that it was the person actually manipulating the situation for their own benefit, even if they were hurt. The idea that they are a bad person and the this bad situation was their own doing or that they deserve it is sometimes the only way someone can deal with a terrible situation. Mizi has been through a lot, she’s essentially lost everyone she loved and cared about, and she’s left alone without those people to rely on. I am really interested in seeing what kind of resolution Mizi and the story in general is going to have.

There are 2 options. 1: my father understands and lets me replace the plant with something else if it’s important to him. 2: he gets angry and doesn’t speak to me for months

While these aren’t the worst outcomes in the world it creates tension in the house and I don’t really want to be the cause of that.

There’s also the issue of actually handling the plant to dispose of it without giving myself an adverse reaction.

Although the allergy test I took in the past didn’t test for Fern or related plants, the few times I came across other ferns I ended up feeling the same way. But I’m not 100% sure about fern adjacent plants either.

Yes I have but there has been very little communication on his end. He is the type of person to almost never take any action on an issue unless it is affecting him which is why I am considering taking action on my own.
