~Look Down, You're Talking to Your Highness~[R]
And then this girl approaches me to RP out of the goodness of her heart but being the selfish person I am I can’t RP anything she’s actually craving because I haven’t finished any of them and I’ve seen and am craving the one thing she’s not too keen on RPing and I just have to have this happen to me
WHat do you mean by that? She wanted fandom RP and you haven't finished the stories yet?
Yeah. Three animes she’s craving badly and one I haven’t seen at all and the other two I’ve only seen a few episodes of. And she just finished having a mental breakdown and then she has to come online and see me spewing all this trash about how I haven’t watched anything she actually wants to RP?
SHe's the one with the problem it sounds like. She's gotta be patient.
She wasn’t having a mental breakdown over this, I just feel bad that she likely wants to RP to keep her mind off of things and I’m not making anything better
Shoot, i misread what you wrote.
Yeah
WHY DOES IT SMELL LIKE PICKLES IN HERE I AM VERY CONCERNED
I saw an anime compilation video called something like 'beautiful girls falling in love with regular guys' and it was not at all what I thought it was going to be. I got played I thought it was going to be about princess-y type girls falling for shy and geeky guys because I realllly wanna watch more animes with that trope because to be honest I've only seen three where it's a thing and I need some more to quench my thirst. From what I could tell in the video it was just kinda-popular girls ending up with the main character of the anime. Either they picked bad examples, they didn't show enough scenes of their personalities, or I just got played really bad
This is literally the second time today I got tricked by an anime I think I'm allowed to be a little bit annoyed
What was the first?
The first time was when I was watching a video called 'top-tier harem moments' (don't laugh at me) and there was an anime in there that I thought was about a bunch of adult women all arguing over who got to take care of and spend time with this preteen boy because that's what the scene was. I looked up the anime and found out it's actually about a college-student who moves into a new apartment and is determined to get a new job to prove how manly he is because for most of his life he was looked down on because he looks like a girl. And for some reason all of these women fawn over him. Granted, it still looked really funny and cute, it just wasn't what I thought it was, you know? And that might've been part of the joke; these women all fawning over a guy who looks super young but is the same age as them, but for some reason I find that to be even creepier?
And even the name of the anime is called Miss Caretaker of Sunohara and the picture is this guy being glomped by two girls with big breasts! How else was I supposed to know that's not what it was?!
That *is* pretty deceptive...
Then again, I'm the one looking for anime about preteen boys. Perhaps I'm the real bad guy here lol
I look for anime about war and killing *Shrugs*
Mom said that Second to None would be Karma's song to Kaede after she left him for Nagisa and I legit do not think I have ever laughed as hard as I did at that for anything she's ever said ever

Now I realllly want to look for anime that are about or at least feature a princess-y girl and an awkward guy falling in love or even ending up together but right now I haven't been having much luck. I don't really know what to search for and maybe that's the problem? So far I've been able to find animes about actual princesses which is nice but not really what I want, animes about poor boys and rich girls which I suppose could work but it's not necessarily about wealth, and masculine girls with feminine boys which is not what I want at all. She must be feminine, it's part of what makes her princess-y. The guy can be girly too but the girl being girly is an absolute must

Murder is very much illegal :P
I don't think you can be arrested for just looking stuff up about it though :P
If it's animated I don't think you can either.
COuld be wrong
Okay this doesn't look like what I wanted either, I tried to look up 'anime about a dominate girl and a weak boy' and it gave me a bunch of suggestions where they protect the boy. I mean I guess that could work, but I've heard of these anime and even seen a couple and they aren't at all what I wanted....
This one author who was going to write a book I wanted to read has apparently withheld her book from publishing because her book was a huge mess and was also really racist and whatnot. On the one hand, I kind of anticipated this when the book was first announced. I said to myself 'oh god not another one of these, not someone trying to act like they understand this era of history but trying to make it all 'edgy' and whatnot' but I still wanted to be nice. But it looks like my gut was right this time. Though at the same time it just makes me even more nervous about my own books. A lot of people especially Russians were saying things like 'well this is what happens when you have non-Russians write about us, you get a poorly-researched stereotypical mess' and even though I kinda agreed when the book was first announced, I still had confidence that this author might know something because Evelyn Skye wrote a really historically accurate version of the Russian Empire and she's not Russian! And I don't want to be a hypocrite. But seeing all of this backlash makes me even more terrified for when I write my own books about the Russian Empire and they're not even about Russia!!! They're about places like freaking Kyrgyzstan!! And then my white-ass name is gonna be on the front cover. What do you think that looks like? Natives have every right to be skeptical of my portrayal. And if I don't get everything a hundred percent right? I will be crucified. I will get blacklisted and be unable to work. And they'll say the same things they're saying about her; 'this is what happens when you have people not native to this country try to write about our history and culture' And this was an ethnic woman!! I'm just a dumb little white girl, trying to write about places like Lithuania because I think I'm being 'diverse' and 'special'
Eh whatever. I guess I'll just go back to my anime
I've looked around at a bunch of suggestions and the one that keeps coming up that seems suited to what I'm looking for is Freezing. I've heard of this anime, but it never appealed to me and after knowing what it's about in more detail I kinda want to not watch it even more. It looks like one of those animes that tries to have a really serious plot and fight scenes but has way too much fanservice in it for me to take it seriously or even get into what's going on. I mean, this is one of the DVD covers:
Doesn't really seem like a deep anime, does it? And I know I've seen stuff like Highschool DxD but that's different because it never said it was trying to be a serious story. It wanted to be a funny harem and that's what it is. So the fanservice in it doesn't bother me
but I guess if this is the only one I can find with the trope that I want, then I guess I'll have no choice but to watch it....
Guess today I'll watch Freezing and The Wolf with Her Seven Companions because both of those got recommended really highly on lists where I was looking for animes about strong girl/weak boy but neither of them really look that interesting to me...Mom said I should just give them a chance and if I really do dislike them I don't have to continue watching them, which is true, but still
~The Mystery Coffee-Shop Customer~ Coffee shops had the reputation of being boring and monotonous, but Hideyoshi found he didn't mind that too much. Sure, it was a pretty cliche job, but he didn't mind that either. All his life he had been trying to blend in and not make a fuss...an easy thing to do for a guy like him, who was thin and frail and could pass for a girl. Not helping his case was his short statue and his dark blond hair that often fell into his face due to his shyness. Yes, a coffee shop job was just perfect for an ordinary guy like him. And for most of his days, nothing out of the ordinary ever really happened.
The shop was placed near a train station that only really came to life during the holidays. As a result, Hideyoshi paid it no mind except when the train whistles were being loud. And they could get pretty loud during the winter months.
It was nearing spring vacation for many university students and business employees in the city, so Hideyoshi kept on his toes, knowing the small shop would soon be overwhelmed with customers. He felt like he hadn't rested once since they had opened their doors; being made to bus tables, take orders, and serve everyone seemingly all at once.
And then, just for a moment, time seemed to stop as a new customer he had never seen before walked in. Hideyoshi thought he had a pretty good memory for remembering the faces of regulars, but this girl slipped his memory...no, she had never been in there before. There was no way he'd ever forget a girl as beautiful as her.
She walked in the store gracefully, taking a seat and fluffing her skirt out slightly; she had sat in the very middle of the room because of course she had. She had on a light and airy dark green dress with cupped sleeves and lots of lace around the thing; a lighter bow tied around her neck. Lacy knee-socks and green Mary-Janes finished her look on the bottom, while her upper half had a gold bracelet and a loose bow pinning back her long golden curls. She looked like a doll.
"Hm," She frowned at him slightly, making him blush heavily as he felt his heart skip a few beats. How long had he been standing there, staring at her aimlessly? She probably thought he was a creepy. Even that frown seemed so out-of-place on her features.
"I-I'm sorry! V-Very sorry!" He stammered, making his face heat up more. "W-What would you like to order? Uh, I mean, welcome! W-What would you like to order?!" He fumbled around in his khakis for his notebook and pen; the items nearly slipping right out of his sweaty grip once he located them. He gave her an awkward chuckle; the frown remained.
"I do not want very much. Just a simple cup of coffee with milk and sugar, please. And bring the cream in a little dish on the side. I like to add my own amount," She responded in a mature voice.
"C-Coming right up! O-Oh, but...t-the cream is extra..." He quickly added shyly.
"I do not mind. It is worth it," She leaned forward in her seat slightly, folding her hands under her chin. A small smile graced her features. Her eyes were green like his own, but they were the bright shimmering shade of an emerald. Only terms associated with wealth could fit this girl.
"Coming right up!" He repeated, scribbling down her order and inching himself back into the kitchen. After he relayed the order, he had to fulfill a few others from others who had recently arrived, but he found he couldn't take his eyes off the mysterious girl. Everytime she caught him staring at her, her smile would grow into something more....sadistic...?
No. A girl that ethereal couldn't have a single bad bone in her body. Hideyoshi absolutely refused to believe it.
Finally, her own order was done and he took the tray nervously, his palms sweating again and his face feeling warm. It looked so...plain. Far too plain for a girl of her beauty. It needed a flower or a napkin or....something to embellish it.
"Hey, are you okay? We have other customers. You can't just stand around here all day," One of his coworkers scolded him, her hands on her hips.
"R-Right...." He slowly slinked away, walking over to the girls' table and holding the tray out to her. "Here you are," He bit back the words your majesty. He had already embarrassed himself enough in front of her.
"Thank you very much," She gave him a polite smile as she took the mug from him, daintily sipping at it. "This tastes very good. Did you make it yourself?"
"N-No...I just take orders and deliver them..." He laughed awkwardly again.
"Oh. I see. What is your name?" She blinked.
"Namakura Hideyoshi," He answered quickly, bowing to her before hurrying away. He finished delivering the rest of the drinks, trying his hardest to keep his eyes from wandering over to her. Everytime he did something, he could feel her jewel-like eyes on his back, calculating his every move, smiling her small sadistic smile.
It made him feel things he had never felt before, and was quite sure he never wanted to feel again.
"Thank you for your service," She announced, placing some money on her table before she rose gracefully and headed out the door.
"W-Wait! what is your name...?" Hideyoshi called after her, but all he got as a response was the breeze hitting his face after she slammed the door shut.
####
In the month before the start of summer break, he saw her again. He would never mistake her green eyes or blonde curls on anyone else. Today she had on a high-necked yellow gown with white tights and matching Mary-Janes; her hands were covered in silken white gloves and a yellow sun-hat shielded her curls from view. She smelled very good today, like roses and lavender and chocolate too. Hideyoshi suddenly found himself wanting to drown in that scent.
She took the same spot she took the last time she visited, fluffing out her skirt and tightening her hat. Hideyoshi wandered over to her, pen at the ready this time. He smiled nervously at her.
"Welcome. What would you like today...?"
"Just a simple cup of coffee with milk and sugar, please. And a cup of cream on the side," She smiled at him politely as he wrote it down.
"Coming right up...!" His smile turned more awkward as he dashed away and waited anxiously for her order to be ready. The place wasn't very busy today, so Hideyoshi could dally as much as he wanted to today. Once the coffee was done, he slammed the mug down on the tray and rushed outside, eager to see her again.
Except he had forgotten to put the cream on the side and had stupidly mixed it up as part of the drink. It was an honest mistake; after all, most orders requested for the cream to be mixed in instead of being on the side.
The girl sipped at her drink again, a frown forming on her face as she slowly lowered the mug. Her gaze turned cold as she cleared her throat at him.
"Excuse me, but I believe there is some kind of problem," She spoke up. Hideyoshi's heart clenched as he spun around.
"Y-Yes....?"
"What happened to my cream? I specified I would like it on the side so I could add in as much as I wanted as my own pleasure," She asked softly.
"I-I'm so sorry! I must've added it to your drink instead! It's a common mistake...most people request for the cream to be added in-" He stammered out before the girl shot him a look of pure malice.
"But! I am not like other people, am I?! I specifically requested something! Go back into that kitchen and make it again! And do it right this time!" She yelled at him, shoving the mug away from her. Hideyoshi shivered at her sudden change in demeanor, finding her to be scarily attractive still. Now that was a woman who knew what to get what she wanted in life. She continued staring him down, making him blush heavily.
"I-I'm sorry, we don't usually do returns..." He trailed off when he felt several eyes on him of the other customers. Beautiful as she was, this girl was starting to cause a scene....how could he tell her to leave in a nice way?
"When I first saw you, I believed you to be a girl. You have the right hair and figure for it, after all. Am I wrong?" The girl's expression suddenly changed from coldness into a pure look of sadism; a smirk completed the look. Hideyoshi flinched as she took her finely-manicured hand and trailed it down his body, making a quick grab of his crotch that made him blush heavily and yelp in surprise. She smirked more. "Ah, it seems you are definitely a boy. At least I was not wrong in that regard," She smiled sweetly, tilting her head. "Now, will you please make an exception, just this once, and remake my coffee? With the cream on the side?"
Hideoyish was already halfway into the kitchen before he fully realized what had happened. The effect that girl had on him was powerful, demanding...commanding. She ordered him around in this store as if she owned the place, as if he were just her little servant!
Why....why did he like the feeling so much? Why did he get butterflies everytime she opened her mouth?
Where had this girl been all of his life?!
Just as the last time, she paid after drinking and left in silence, never telling her name to Hideyoshi.
####
She didn't come in for many more months after the summer. The weather turned colder and colder until it was nearly unbearable. Walking home from the coffee shop, Hideyoshi sighed to himself slightly. Where had that girl gone? He had absolutely no way of locating her without a name...he only had her face and mannerisms committed to memory.
As he walked home, he perked up in alert at the sound of a lone swing swinging in the nearby park; the rusty metal creaking. It was a calm evening. But who in their right mind would visit the playground at such a late hour? Hideyoshi sneaked a peek, shading his eyes from the bright lights to see a lone figure sitting there, swinging silently by herself with her gaze fixed downwards at the ground.
Hideyoshi found himself falling into her arms before he is fully aware of where he is. His mysterious customer, the one who had filled his dreams in both the night and day, was real. She wasn't just some unattainable fantasy. He buried himself in her small chest, soaking in her warmth and scent. She chuckled and ran a hand through his hair; she was dressed in a gothic lolita ensemble.
"P-Please don't break my fingers," He randomly mumbled out in a panic when she lifted his head off her chest. She simply smiled at him and planted a kiss on his lips that made his heart soar.
"I promise," She responded in her commanding tone, smirking at how blushy he was. "My, my, acting this way over a simple kiss? Are you a virgin too?"
"What's your name?" Hideyoshi asked instead, choosing to ignore her intrusive question. She continued to smirk as she leaned in closer to him, whispering in his ear in a way that tickled him and made him shiver.
"Ayasegawa Yumiko,"
"Yumiko-sama...that seems so fitting for you..." He breathed.
Yumiko simply tittered and motioned to the empty swing next to her. Hideyoshi pulled himself up and sat down next to her, slowly inching his hand closer and closer to her.
"Hm? Eager, aren't we?" She smirked and gently took his hand, squeezing it. They then swung together in silence; Hideyoshi resting his head on Yumiko's shoulder. Why had he never noticed how much taller she was than him? And how beautiful she looked in the moonlight...
He shook his head slightly to clear himself of such thoughts; there'd be plenty of time for them later. Right now, he had finally caught his mystery dream girl. And he wasn't about to let her go.
Okay so I have no idea what that is all I know is that my mom found an anime on Crunchyroll about a young boy who becomes infatuated with a mysterious customer who goes to his coffeeshop all of the time and is determined to learn more about them and I legit thought it was a dominate girl/geeky boy anime but it turned out to be a yaoi and I'm mad and I wrote that instead to cleanse myself because that's how that anime should've gone instead I think
Oh no I started to watch Freezing and I'm actually starting to get really into it and I've only seen three episodes but I'm actually starting to get addicted to it because it's like someone reached into the darkest part of my brain and made an anime out of it and I love it so much for that
Freezing?
It's an anime I'm watching.Basically it's about a futuristic world that is in shambles because powerful aliens have taken over. These students at school have been enhanced genetically to fight off these aliens and are considered to be the last hope of humanity. They are pairs of an older girl called a Pandora and her preteen male partner who has to keep her abilities in check and can perform a shielding move called Freezing hence the title of the anime.
The main character is a new transfer student to this school and catches the eye of the resident 'ice queen' when he mistakes her for his dead sister and collapses into her breasts on accident. Ever since that incident he keeps trying to apologize to her as well as trying to figure out his own abilities. And of course there are other fighting partners you meet, like the main character's roommate who is completely devoted to his Pandora and calls her his 'big sister' and waits on her hand and foot; she's a really dominate and bitchy kind of girl.
Basically it's an anime with a big-sister complex it looks like and I am here for it
Sounds neat!
My only qualm is that it looks like the anime hasn’t finished the story yet. I’m not sure if the manga is still on-going and if the anime actually has a satisfying ending but it’s a red flag either way
What do you mean? Is it still airing?
I meant the anime made two seasons and then stopped even though there’s still a few volumes of the manga left they haven’t done yet
And there’s some other stuff they could animate too like a prequel series written about the main character’s older sister when she was still alive
How long ago did the anime stop? Maybe they're working on the rest of it?
The most recent season came out in 2017 I believe
Hmm...maybe it's on hiatus or something. I dunno.
Maybe but who can say for sure
I still remember when Avatar was airing I didn't understand seasons and season finales and stuff and I thought the show was cancelled forever after Ba Sing Se fell :D
I would like to see a book, about a liberal version of a dystopia, written by a liberal author. Here is why. I myself am liberal obviously. I’m progressive and I’m for many of the things progressives are for. However, I am not for how the extremely far-left treats people. I hate how they participate in witch hunts and how they bully anyone who doesn’t fit into their perfect ideology box and how they belittle the opinion of the very people they claim to support. You can never win with them and sometimes I hate how I’m liberal because it means I get lumped in with those people. Authors tend to mainly be liberal but I could see a more thoughtful one doing a fantastic parody of both the genera and these sorts of crazy people. Because at the end of the day saying things like ‘black lives matter what about ALL lives’ or ‘lgbt people are a myth’ is only going to make things worse. I think you gotta hit them where it hurts. And I am fully aware most people don’t want to do this because it’s far scarier to be recorded and assualted in the streets than anything else. But far-left people do the very same things do they not? And I think liberals are just as scary if not more so than conservatives because it’s easier for them to brainwash people because on the surface they seem like they’re for equality, but in reality they want to divide people just as much as the conservatives do.
Here is my take on a liberal dystopia. Sure, there likely would be things like rich taxation and free healthcare. And the government would say they support LGBT people and ethnic people. But that is only on the surface. All ethnic people are forced to wear traditional clothing even if it’s not from their nation, because hey all ethnic people are the same. All Asians wear Chinese clothes, all Hispanics wear Mexican clothes, and all African-Americans wear Ethiopian clothes. White people can wear whatever but their choices are checked every day to make sure they’re not ‘approriating’ anything. Everyone eats food from their own culture regardless. The children are given names from books and TV shows and even mythology but they’re only allowed to pick names from their own culture. Everyone wears a collar around their neck and have a series of ‘offensive’ words they are not allowed to say; if they do, they get shocked. White straight cis people are on the bottom rung of society and are treated like trash. Men are often thrown into jail to prevent them from being rapists. All men are forced to be really feminine and all women are forced to be masculine regardless of their true thoughts. Many forms of media have been banned due to being seen as ‘problematic’ Babies and childbirth are seen as disgusting and therefore children are cultivated and raised out of sight in special schools until they reach fifteen and are seen as members of society. Lesbian representation is still non-existent in this world; when it does exist it’s all just masculine lesbians. Almost everyone is raised by same-sex parents and many are forced to marry a same-sex partner regardless of their own orientation. Fetishes are seen as healthy and normal but actual sex is seen as being disgusting.
The story follows Angel, named after the character in Maximum Ride who is an all-American teen girl with blue eyes and curly blonde hair. She is incredibly girly and dreams of being a housewife and is dreading the day her two moms ship her off to a boot camp designed to make her masculine and pleasing to her future wife. She runs away one day and comes across a bisexual Japanese boy named Kaname who also managed to escape when the van transporting him to jail fell into a ditch and crashed. The two discover they have a lot in common and make plans to disrupt the system. They find ways to meet up with each other and through the lower rungs of society learn all about things such as classic books that have been banned for being racist and whatnot. Angel says that she can’t believe how much stuff she’s been missing out on and how sometimes being ‘problematic’ is good because it forces you to rethink your initial beliefs. Kaname agreed and says that’s why these things were banned in the first place. The two end up having to be separated but Angel is determined to change society in any way that she can. The book ends with her in a tuxedo with her hair cut very short, preparing for her wedding. She sees another little girl dressed in a suit with a pink bow hidden in her hair. She smiles to herself and accidentally-on-purpose drops one of the banned books in front of the little girl, who picks it up and looks at it curiously, then exclaims that it looks interesting. Angel smiles even more to herself as she walks down the aisle, thinking that perhaps the future generation isn’t so doomed after all.
It would be called With Justice and Equality for All and the cover would feature Angel dressed as a princess sitting on a pile of famously-controversial books.
Yes it would anger people and yes it would likely receive a lot of negative press-but that is what books are for. To challenge you. And the less-crazy people would read this book and likely call it a unique take on liberal values as well as a good parody of famous dystopians. Because at the end of the day, dystopians are meant to make you think as well. And I think this could challenge at least a few people.
It's so foggy outside this morning
What's the temperature been like there?
Right now it's in the thirties. It's been warming up really fast with the high yesterday being in the sixties and the rest of the week being in the fifties or sixties. But this weekend it'll get super cold again
It was below freezing most of last week.Thursday it's supposed to get close to 80
Season wheel, I tell you!!
It's going to snow later on in the week for us too lol
I was really sick yesterday but I'm not really sure why. I just threw up for a few hours but it was really bad to the point of coming out my nose at one point. Mom said it's because of my gallbladder but I don't think so since I've puked bile when it's related to my gallbladder and I just threw up food and stomach acid. I thought I had eaten something bad but Mom said nothing was rotten....so I don't know. A fluke I guess
it's personal
