I know! I remember last year Mom got me a box full of really fancy chocolates. I hope she does the same this year!
Maybe I'll get more appreciation for my journal if I actually start being nice to my viewers instead of criticizing them all of the time lol
My parents do that too and I end up leaving like half in the box because they're things like strawberry or coconut I feel bad but I think spitting it out and gagging wouldn't be any better
The year before that she got me some really gross chocolate cherries that took me a month and a half to finish-and that was only because I had nothing else to eat!
This is probably a weird New Year's resolution, but my Resolution this year is to watch, or at least finish, a lot more anime. I have a horrible attention span when it comes to watching things and thus I start a bunch of shows but can never finish them. I hate how I have all these unfinished anime series under my belt that I actually genuinely do like, but can never find the attention to actually sit down and watch them. So this year, I want to challenge myself into finishing a lot of the unfinished series that have been sitting around for literal years at this point. I know some people might congratulate me on being so bad at watching TV, but this is a hobby of mine and what's the point of a hobby if you're not going to do it? I'm just not sure what a good goal for me should be. I don't know how many anime I want to finish at what time.
I think that's a good resolution! Seeking to better work on your hobbies and allI just need to stop playing, reading and watching the same stuff over and over and work on new stuff
Maybe...finish twenty series by the end of this year. I think that's a good goal? Especially since a lot of these series are very short with twelve episodes and only one season. And of course I'm not counting the stuff I watch with mom. I am referring strictly to things I find and watch on my own
I think you can manage that. Especially since it's only mid February
I'll probably use my journal to keep track of them all. Write down when I've finished one and such

Apparently watching my character get attacked on all sides by Pegasus riders was the highlight of Mom's afternoon lol

Kings and Legends. It's yet another card battle game. I was dragging my feet about playing it again after all this time but since I'm in desperate need of a card battle game I eventually said it couldn't be that bad and got right back into it.
My favorite part is the Reputation system; each card has a species it belongs to and the more battles you win and the more amount of cards of that species you use, the higher your Reputation with that species gets and really high levels unlocks really powerful cards

All of these sprite edits and not a single Good Luck!Sayaka I am appalled
Henrietta Ludenberg/Kiyomi Fujisaki: Seventeen-years-old and 5'3, with brown hair curled up in springy curls and dark red eyes. Thin with a small bust and always wears lolita fashion, both gothic and pastel style. She is very vain, cold, and uncaring. She acts just like her mother to the point of adopting a fake name for herself as she can't stand the 'commonor' one her father gave her. She only admires her father for his intelligence but despises everything else about him. She dreams of living the same aesthetic lifestyle her mother did. Despite her prowess at gambling, her talent in A.I. creation and robotics was what truly sealed her fate. Surprisingly, she loves that talent of hers and spends hours and hours in her lab, fine-tuning every single robot she makes into perfection. She has a dream of making a self-care robot. She attends Hope's Peak under the title of Ultimate Robotist. Father: Chihiro Fujisaki
Mother: Celestia Ludenberg
Hideyoshi Fujisaki: Sixteen-years-old and is 5'8. Has a healthy sprinkling of freckles across his nose and cheeks with hazel eyes and very short shiny black hair. He has a lithe and thin figure and thus gets mistaken for a girl quite often. He milks that attention and often crossdresses at school, online, or at major gaming events. However, in real life, he hates getting mistaken for a girl. He has a very sharp tongue and an attitude, always cussing up a storm and snapping at anyone who pays him any attention. He likes to laugh and mock people who have bad things happen to them; almost as if he has a fetish for that sort of thing. He hates his weakling dad most of all and makes him a target of his antics. His aunt encourages it and his mom usually doesn't notice. He considers his prowess in video games to be his greatest strength and has racked up all sorts of acclaim and awards from all of the tournaments he's entered. He has a specialty in shooting games, no doubt thanks to his mother. He attends Hope's Peak under the talent of ultimate Major League Gamer.
Father: Chihiro Fujisaki
Mother: Mukuro Ikusaba
Aunt: Junko Enoshima
Yukine Fujisaki: Eighteen-years-old and looks just like a younger version of his father with a girly figure, hazel eyes, and brown-blond hair. However, his hair is usually kept a lot neater. He's 5'1. He tends to dress in very casual clothes like sweatpants and sweatshirts. He's very quiet and nice, staying out of disagreements. He respects and loves his parents dearly, but also understands to not get too attached to them. He understands that they're busy people. He's friends with almost everyone in his class and is famous is the online community for having apprehended many cyber-criminals and cyber-terrorists. Catching ten or fifteen a month is his claim to fame. He is terrible at sports however. He was named because he was born in winter as the first snowfall of the season happened outside. He attends Hope's Peak under the title of Ultimate Cyber Detective, obviously.
Father: Chihiro Fujisaki
Mother: Kyoko Kirigiri
Momoko and Umeko Fujisaki: Twelve-years-old; identical twins. They're 4'7 with hazel eyes and waist-long dark blue hair. A pink barrette in Momoko's hair and a purple barrette in Umeko's serves as the only way to tell the girls apart. They are very sweet and girly; a bit immature for their age due to how much their father spoils them. They are always underfoot and want to know what their parents are up to. They are hyper and often tinker with their father's electronics or Alter-Ego even though their mother tells them no repeatedly. Umeko loves the colour pink and always carries a tablet around with her that she draws on. She draws every single thing she finds interesting. Her parents believe once she's old enough to attend Hope's Peak, she'll be the Ultimate Digital Artist. Momoko loves the colour blue and is more feisty and rebellious than her twin. She loves music and is always remixing her favourite songs and loudly singing along. She volunteers as a DJ-in-training and her parents believe when she's old enough to attend Hope's Peak that she'll attend as the Ultimate Digital Music-Maker.
Father: Chihiro Fujisaki
Mother: Sayaka Maizono
Sonya Souda: Sixteen-years-old with wavy waist-long blonde hair that's often pulled into a messy ponytail and light blue eyes. 5'6 with a very impressive chest. Basically, she resembles a younger version of her mother. And being the daughter of two hot-blooded people surely didn't help in her case, as she's foul-mouthed, hot-headed, passionate, and hardworking just as they are. A lollipop is almost always in her mouth, which she will not stop making innuendos about, and she loves to wear low-cut tank tops and short-shorts. Still, despite her nature, give her a car to work on and she will blow you away with her skill and craftsmanship. One of her other favourite things to do is drag her younger brother into risky schemes because she knows he can't say no to her. She was named after an old crush from her father's high-school days; albeit spelled differently. She attends Hope's Peak under the title of Ultimate Car Engineer.
Father: Kazuchi Souda
Mother: Miu Iruma
'Uncle': Chihiro Fujisaki
'Twin' Brother: Kazuichi Fujisaki
Kazuichi Fujisaki: Sixteen-years-old with wavy light blonde hair and light blue eyes. He's surprisingly a bit muscular but does very little with those muscles, preferring to stay in his lab all day. He's 5'9 and is always bumping his head on things since he often doesn't pay attention to where he's walking. However, his mind is always very level when he's working on his beloved contraptions in his lab. He's timid and quiet, always being dragged around by his older sister or his mom to do some sort of heir-brained scheme. Bug him enough, however, and he'll release a flurry of f-bombs onto you. He's also quietly perverted..give him the chance and he'll have peeked up your skirt several dozen times in a conversation. He was named after his father's brother-husband and his mother's other boyfriend, Kazuichi Souda. He attends Hope's Peak under the title Ultimate Computer Technician.
Father: Chihiro Fujisaki
Mother: Miu Iruma
'Uncle': Kazuichi Souda
'Twin' Sister: Sonya Souda

I definitely have more Danganronpa lovechildren than that, but I just had to post all the ones I've made for Chihiro because nobody ever makes lovechildren for him.....I have five children for all five girls I ship him with. A fun Valentine's Day activity, no? Later I'll update the list with everyone else's lovechildren
I know nobody cares but the reason I wasn’t on yesterday was because I spent all day playing Corruption of Champions
What's that one?

After looking around on Quora for an answer to my question, it seems I already had a pretty good idea of what I needed to do in terms of jump-starting my writing career. A lot of answers said that it’s a very slow process into getting accepted and that a lot of writers don’t make very much money. But I anticipated all of that and am prepared to make necessary changes. The thing that gave me pause that I saw a lot was the fact that a lot of first-time authors simply don't get accepted for a contract or an agent. It makes sense when you think about it, but at the same time, if that were true, there would be no debut authors, or very little. But look at how many debut authors there are a year from traditional publishing companies. I know for every person accepted, there are ten more rejected, but it’s obvious that many debut authors are atill being given chances. Basically I’m still optimistic about my chances and hope that in a few years my name will be synonymous with YA historical fiction writers

It is! My character is named Sonya and she is a bunny-girl with cute white ears and a fluffy tail and long purple hair. Her hips and breasts and butt are really big; I can’t remember if she’s lactating or not. She had on a peasant dress but I swapped it out for a jeweled sword and leather armor since I was tired of things constantly defeating me haha her ears are pierced with emerald studs. She’s 4’8 and has pale white skin with black visible veins from drinking ectoplasm
I NEED to play this game
Nothing makes me more sick to my stomach than the thought that I used the ‘Bury Your Gays’ trope in my debut novel and due to the story I’m retelling I’ve locked myself out of changing it. A close friend of mine on here hates that trope and she will not only hate that book but also viciously hate my guts for claiming to be on her side when I’m truly not. Half of the readers will hate me and blacklist me on Twitter for claiming I’m LGBT positive but keeping a homophobic idea alive in my story. But if I make the character not die, then the other half of readers will hate me for being weak and a cop-out and not telling the story the proper way that it deserves. It literally ties my stomach and brain into knots because I literally do not know what to do. All the support I have gotten is from straight people and no offense, you guys are great, but I need LGBT thoughts on this more since this is their issue. It sickens me to death thinking I might go the same way as someone like Kiera Drake and my career could be over before it even began over something like this.
I just don’t know what to do and I’ve mulled over it for literal years at this point; kill her or not? She’s not the only one who dies but she’ll be the only one people care about because of her identity and it’s all because I foolishly made her like that before I realized she has a plot-significant death in the story I’m retelling. Because I’m foolish
Well, what purpose does her death have in the story? Are you sending a message that killing gays is okay or right or will her death be portrayed as tragic, with the killer seen as the villain from the protagonists' view?
Well the story is about an actual revolution and she gets killed because she’s involved in the revolution. The main character isn’t very torn up by her death since it’s seen through her eyes, she never liked her since she tormented her for years growing up but still understands that she didn’t deserve to die. She honors her last dying wish and after the revolution is over, adopts her only living relative, her younger sister because she believes it’s what she would’ve wanted and sees it as a way to make up for how cruel she had been when the tables turned in her favour. She is a somewhat main character in the story as you see her in different points of her life, however the main character never really liked her since she found her to be cruel. Once she realized there was likely more to her, it was too late to really do much
So she dies in battle or something similar?And if she's a buttface and that's why the MC hates her...then that's different. I've met straight people who are buttfaces and I've met LGBTs who are buttfaces. I don't like them because of their attitude, not what they're attracted to.
Someone is going to be angry no matter what you do so I don't think you should let that worry you.
No, it’s a revolution. I can’t really say it’s a riot because it really wasn’t, but that’s the best word I can think of at the moment. This particular one was marked by people killing Russian guards and looting the houses of Russian nobility and the Russian guards were given orders to shoot any revolters that they saw on sight. And that’s what happens to her. The character she’s based on in the book I’m retelling dies in a similar way by getting shot in the barricades
Yeah but there is a difference between hating a book over a stupid reason and hating a book because it endorses a homophobic belief. It doesn’t matter how much I try to defend my choice; I will be run out of the job faster than anyone else before me and ostracized by people I thought were my friends.
And I never actually say what her sexuality is but I make it very clear she is in love with the female main character. She confesses to her, MC rejects her, and she dies shortly thereafter. Even thinking about it makes me feel all wormy. Her dying so closely to her confession/rejection is what seals that for me. It’s saying ‘lol you got rejected by a straight girl and now you get to die’ And no matter where I place the rejection in the story, I feel it'll still have that same message. She doesn’t get a happy ending. She doesn’t even get a proper burial. The MC kisses her to fulfill her last dying wish, and then dies in her arms. End of her story arc. And I can’t just make the main character accept her since that would be beyond her character too. And I can’t just make her not die...and I can’t just write her out of the story entirely...I was thinking of making her younger sister a lesbian since she actually gets a happy ending but I have no way of writing that without making it feel forced.
I have thought about this for years and it literally makes me ill. My writing career will be ruined before it started all because I foolishly wrote myself into a corner
But you're NOT endorsing homophobia. Just because an LGBT character dies doesn't mean the writer hates them
True, but killing off the only LGBT character in my story? Even if I personally don’t feel that way about it that doesn’t change the fact that that’s the message I send. Go look up reviews for the last book in the Half Bad trilogy by Sally Green. She too did this very thing and fans absolutely decimated her
I wish GoodReads would please let me change the name of my journal. This current title is getting very old

I mean, Aang was a pacifist and he was killed. Does that mean that Avatar was sending a message that pacifists are weak? No. There was purpose behind his death. Purpose that pushed the plot forward. As long as you can make the purpose of their death clear I think you'll be fine.

And worse mine doesn’t even die for any real reason. She dies because it’s a revolution and people die, plus in the original book I’m retelling the character she’s based on dies for that same reason. It’s not even a noble or a brave death, it’s just....a death.
I told my mom that it was confirmed via Twitter by Yuki Kaji personally I think that B: The Beginning is getting a second season and her eyes lit up so fast. She doesn’t even like that anime that much lol

You're not making a case that LGBT people should die otherwise you would be saying *you* deserve death and that doesn't even make any sense.
If it's that big a deal why not have someone else die? If her death isn't relevant to the story you can have someone else kick the bucket.
If the exact same thing happens in the original book, why not point that out and say you had no power over that?
