Piece of Asian media: *has a title that's obviously not in English*
Fan Translators: hmm taking into account the intention of the original and the rules of both languages, plus the tone of the story, the best title would probably be something like Adherent of the Blade of Duality, but probably an official translation would want to shorten it to Blade of Duality, or perhaps Double-Edged Sword to borrow a popular turn of phrase that also fits thematically--
Official English Translators: Master of Double-Penetration

hi folks, i hate to do make this kind of post but i’m in a pretty tough spot and could really use some help. my dog freddy’s entering his fourth and final chemo cycle for his lymphoma treatment at the start of next month, and i need to get his routine exams done before we begin -- ultrasound, echocardiogram, bloodwork, and three x-rays. unfortunately, his insurance no longer covers any of it; i've already hit the limit of what i can use in his previous cycles. the good news is that he’s been doing truly, incredibly well (his oncologist even calls his recovery a miracle!), which is why i want to keep giving him the best shot possible without delays. it will cost around 500 reais, in full.
that said, i just can’t afford it on my own right now. the costs of his treatment so far have completely wiped out my savings and left me *really* struggling with the rest of my bills. so if you’re able to help out with a donation, it would truly mean the world to us! and if not, just sharing this would already be a huge help, too. thank you so much for reading and for any support you may give!!! 🩷

can we send up a quick thank you to pdf uploaders, torrent seeders, copy sharers, scanlators, fansubbers, digitizers, paywall dodgers, and various other internet archivers for making niche art and information more accessible in a media landscape where all but the most profitable mainstream are often tossed aside and left to rot

you know what? I'm a big fan of those old city structures where there's a bridge connecting two houses and that bridge is also made of house. And there's a walkable street underneath it. Like I get why they're not good for fire safety but fuck yeah you get more house for house and also do not obstruct pedestrians. The indoors person, old houses enthusiast, and unobstructed pedestrian in me delights in that.

i try to put it off my mind most of the time because there's not much you can do except try to move forward, but in many ways, i do still feel like i'm trapped in 2020, right at the start of the pandemic. it feels like a different era now, in ways i cannot even begin to articulate. and i know i'm not the only one.
#but we're expected to move on and pretend like it never happened!! we're not allowed to deal with its consequences in a meaningful way#also this might seem like a stretch but i believe the rise of timeloop/roguelike genres is connected with that

My vampires CAN walk into the sunlight but doing so would reveal what they would look like if they aged normally
Younger vampires don’t have much to worry about but older vamps have reason to avoid sunlight as they age. They are still immortal, but their aged, sunlit selves are significantly weaker than their non-sunlit forms. Vamps over 100 years old run the risk of crumpling over, fully immobile, but still conscious
