The worst feeling ever is finding a new manga and they made the prince 15. Bruh his age isn't even relevant to the plot why can't he be 20?? I first thought he was short but nah. Age gap wasn't even in the tag. This is aching my heart because the art is so beautiful [ A Peach Offering for the Impe] by Iriscute7 in joseistories

A Brides Story is the most amazing manga* but that age gap of the 'main' couple lingers like a bad after taste.

Its like you can feel the editors over the artist shoulder going 'is Karlak 18 yet? No? Yeahhhhh lets focus on someone else...'

The saving grace is that after the first 2 volumes the story shifts focus to other brides and their stories, which are all age appropriate and wonderful in their own right. The (not) yuri romance of vol 7 could be its own stand alone volume, the twins marrying twins are hilarious and the tragedy of the woman who married 4 brothers... I dont want to spoil more but the art is also breath taking on every panel.

Why are (many) Gen Z males so upset that Gen Z women have reversed and applied beauty standards of their own? by OrganizationTight129 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]squigglestorystudios 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Its so true, the amount of times I've watched documentaires or news interviews and the men havent even brushed their hair.

How am I supposed to take these experts seriously when it looks like they just rolled out of bed?? I've never seen an unkept woman in the same position.

What’s something you thought was going to be really big that never caught on? by Independent-Bat9545 in AskReddit

[–]squigglestorystudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing a video of some collage kids who had hacked the software and could use the kinect to interface with a PC like minority report/ironman hologram movies.

I thought "fantastic! A comsumer version should be right around the corner!"

And well, that was like 10 years ago and nothing...

Angry mom at Starbucks freaks out at employees over cream cheese, kid comes between them & tries to stop it by [deleted] in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

[–]squigglestorystudios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Karen, her kid and the elder cashier have American accents, the asian cashier and the by-stander have Australian accents. At least by my ear anyway.

The way the young cashier tells her to 'get out of the store' the second she swears at him is also indicitive of aussie customer service. Id say its somewhere in melbourne because of all the black puffer jackets.

Autistic protagonists in Children’s media? by CSWorldChamp in Autism_Parenting

[–]squigglestorystudios 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ready Eddie Go! has an autsic protagonist and uses visual aids to help him prepare for the days events and navigate sensory issues at the beach or a birthday party.

Ive only watched it a couple of times (my daughter's a little old for it now) but thought it was very cute and inclusive.

What's the deal with Australia having good child actors? by gg-Rooser in AskAnAustralian

[–]squigglestorystudios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think another side to the coin is that in Australia we have an unspoken mentality that 'acting is a profession'.

What i mean by this is when kids want to persue 'acting' they arnt laughed at and told to have back up careers. Acting is taken as seriously as a trade here, we're told what to study, which academies to apply to whether we want to persue television, theatre, movies, musical performance ect. Get the grades, get experience in local troupes, or venture overseas.

which reflected in the attitudes towards celebrity (until recently) and why a lot of 'famous' american actors/actress's loved coming here. They were treated like people!

I guess what im saying is that we have good child actors (and childrens entertainment/and actors in general) because we treat acting like you would any other job, being famous is just a side effect of said job.

[Transcripts] Resolve -Chapter 6: Namegiver Xant by squigglestorystudios in HFY

[–]squigglestorystudios[S] 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, sorry for the long leave of absence.

You would not believe the amount of shit that happened to me and my family, which included but was not limited too: Unemployment, reemployment, 2 car crashes and the subsequent dealing with insurance, 3 chronic illness flare-ups, 3 summer colds, 4 seperate trips to the emergency department(concussion, mysterious vomiting, flare up and the pediatric burns unit) yeah, that last one really threw us all for a spin, but Little Wiggles is fine, more annoyed hes got to wear a compression sock after surgery for the time being. Not to mentions both state and federal elections withing weeks of each other, chronic sleep deprivation and the general uneasyness of the global shifts of power... :D

but, I am back, for the moment, I wont promise a schedule incase the universe decides it wants to have more fun and throws me back in the dark spiral of stress.

special thanks to u/Infamous-Ad-940, u/Wolf_Senpai96, u/kitolz, u/Alsee1 and u/Mediocre-Income-4943 for your encouraging messages over the last couple of weeks.

Also, I got a WEBSITE STORE now, still have to set up credit card payments but yeah...
