I'm tired so idk if my ramble will make any sense, but: As a millenial who teaches econ to hordes of gen z folks, yall aint bad tbh. Do you get shat on more than other generations? No. The generational & hereditary verbal abuse is cyclical, and I think everyone's talking shit about everybody else about the same amount. I've heard some of my col......

also i do empathize with the old man. it's one of those situations where you wish you could keep the child, but unless you've been in that situation yourself your judgment will just be based on limited understanding. I hope that the letter will be full of good news but what if it's a notification of death or smth? ahhhh I want everyone to be happy but I also appreciate these scenes so much <3 This whole story is amazing.

I prefer dark, but with either a nature ambiance (rain) or a horror story narration (there are two narrators on youtube/spotify that I enjoy listening to while trying to sleep) for sound.

rintaro & his family are the BEST. Like... got me a bit teary-eyed. I love them all so much. The parents and the brother?? Other MC's WISH they had this family

His friend group? Amazing and wholesome. Kaoruko? the CUTEST!!! her friends? also amazing and wholesome.

This is such a great comfort read tbh. aw <3

Hot: medium roast & with oat milk. Iced: cold brew, dark roast & with full milk. But tbh if there's only one kinda coffee being served, I'll drink it so long as it isn't sweet.
Merlot created a topic of Tomodachi engagement

been really enjoying it so far, and now I'm too invested to not worry about the paparazzi and the antics that follow it's bad enough that MC still think it's a fuckbuddy situation (WHICH. PLS. I LOVE YOU BUT COME ON.).

Anyway, looking forward to any updates! (and if someone knows any spoilers... feel free to share!)

Merlot answered question about question
Both! This isn't really a vent because honestly I love the years we had together, but our relationship had run its course and we both understood that in order to further grow into the people we wanted to be and become, we couldn't stay together. A and I met when we were 13, were best friends for a few years before we started dating at 18 or so, co......

1. i love everyone
2. including this new grandpa
3. pls let everyone be happy i beg

EDIT: I thought I was done with the comment but nah i just gotta add more: it HURTS when someone asks you for a favour and expects to be rejected or in an apologetic way as if they're being a bother. You're not a bother, grandpa!!

i knew he wouldn't die but i was SO dreading some sort of an angst-filled amnesia arc, and I'm soooo happy that isn't happening. Hurrah!

MC is an absolute menace and I love him for it lmao

Regular source criticism tests for everyone to keep their freedom of speech and access to the internet. You failed your source criticism test and believed bullshit? No internet for u this month.
Merlot created a topic of Vanilla Taste

Based on the comments, I thought I'd drop this before getting to the latest chapter, but I didn't. I actually really like it. I adore Sodam and I can't wait to see his life turn for the better. Hajoon (the real and fake one) aren't as dislikable as I thought I'd find them.

But tbh the one relationship that I really want to see addressed is the one Sodam has with his family. I just want his brother to finally just care, because I think the feelings of insecurity aren't ones that romantic love can heal, because they were caused by familial love (or its absence).

I kinda hope that Sodam does get seriously ill for a while just so that the people who are so busy pretending to hate him would finally snap the hell out of it.

All of that said, and knowing it won't actually happen, I wish Sodam would idk meet a handsome, wholesome doctor who treats his cold and they fall in love and live happily ever after.

hmm

I like how both perspectives are understandable, without painting either one of them as irrational or immature. Obviously I wish they'd just start dating and Winter would be happy forever, but Gyeol's perspective is totally understandable.

What worries me a bit though is does Winter realize why Gyeol is recommending a psychiatrist? Because though it's clear that the psychiatrist is recommended because of the panic attack, Winter's "does he think there's something wrong with me" makes me worry if he'll think it's a response to him being gay instead. Idk how to explain it in a comment and this worry is def fueled by other manhwas with shitty family depictions, but yeah. Can't wait for more!
