Anyone else notice that Squall had two arms when buying whatever he needed for sleeping from Jack? He covered the attendant's mouth on one hand (the one he should be missing) and used the other to hold his hand up in a gesture of "sorry/no harm meant". And I presume it was his hands in the panel where one took the bag and the other gave the coin.
Idk if this was a mistake or something sus is going on but damn
The youngest sister was hurtful and awful towards the MC, but at the same time I honestly can't fault her too much when her whole life everyone else in their family shunned and treated MC horribly. She's still just a kid who is easily influenced by her surroundings. She's starting to realise that her oldest sister was the only one who truly cared about her in that house, but she's been taught to ignore those things and do whatever she can to be accepted by her other family, not realising how toxic/abusive they really are.
Like, we see here that their family isn't good only to Leticia. You're only accepted and given love if you prove yourself useful and act the same as most of the family. Some kids' defense mechanism in abusive families with siblings is to focus on protecting themself first, and I can't blame that too much on the kid. They're in a shitty situation that they can't control. That is why I believe that the youngest sibling deserves to be given another chance, though I'm not sure if the author will go that route, sadly. After all, it's much easier to portray the whole family to be villains without any redemption.
Fyi, I'm the sibling who was thrown into trouble often by a younger sibling when I was younger. I wasn't aware of this until these recent years as she confessed and apologised to me. I didn't blame her, bc I'm aware of what our parents are like + I always was the one to tell them to stop fighting or willingly went ahead and made my parents' frustrations focus on me to protect the youngest of my siblings, so I know some of it has to do with my personality as well. Honestly, before we talked, I was completely prepared and had already accepted if my sibling wanted to go no contact with the whole family, including me. I honestly thought she had some trauma/resentment from our childhood that was partially caused by me (I was a menace), and was just glad that wasn't the case. She and our relationship started getting better after she moved out with her gf and lived away from our parents.
This was something we couldn't have talked about before our late teens, as I never realised how bad my parents were until my exchange year. I had two different host families in the span of 8 months, and I just remember thinking "so this is what a family is supposed to be like" at some point.
So, that's why I don't blame the youngest. She's still a kid and has time to change and learn to be better, but she needs to get out of that house first.
I wonder if this will be the beginning of them getting to learn that the monsters were specifically summoned to the North, which is why their numbers have increased. Seriously, fuck the crown prince.
yes yes we all know about the OP reference BUT HELLO SUGAR SUGAR RUNE REFERENCE??? I swear it's been a decade since I last read it, I never expected to see it referenced, now I definitely want to reread it
WHCIH PART??
When she uses the snake eyes!!
For anyone who doesn't know, corsets' primary use HISTORICALLY was not for making the waist look smaller, but for support, same as we have bras today. They worked as support for the breasts and were excellent for distributing the weight of the dresses they wore so they were easier to wear. Yes, corsets were used for aesthetic purposes as well, but the "tiny waist" was typically an illusion created by padding and the shape of the clothes.
Another fyi, corsets can make the waist smaller for some people. This works best with people who have more central body fat, as it doesn't really hurt when squeezed at those points, since it's just moving the fat to the side a bit. It's definitely not doing to work for someone who is very skinny or muscular, who don't have much fat on their bodies. Ie. I can tie a belt fairly tightly around my stomach when looking at its size, but I can't do that above the upper waist, as I can feel my ribcage hurt even if I press gently with my fingers.
Tbh thinking about it, if Yayul isn't going to be the male lead, that's okay for me as long as they make clear the two's relationship stays platonic. If he isn't the ML,nI don't want him to catch feelings for her. Ruins the vibes for me. They are both still kids rn and I'd honestly love to see them become close friends or even come to have somewhat of a sibling relationship, that'd be cute.
A pet peeve of mine is when official English translations take the original measurements (we all know they use metric and celsius) and erase it and change them just for the americans. I don't understand why they can't leave the original measurements and put a sidenote for the conversions, english is not spoken just by americans, pretty sure most people reading these in english aren't american
Metric is different but Fahrenheit is used in only a handful of countries, most of the world uses Celsius. If the og comic had Celsius, keep it in there and add a conversion note somewhere next to it for the Fahrenheit peeps. Isn't that difficult.
This also isn't that deep, just a nitpick/pet peeve/rant about something that relates to something that has been bothering me for over a decade (ie. Most of the time I see non-americans doing the conversions for them, rarely the other way around.)
right? its called international metric system for a reason.
Bro i swear all of these comics have ruined my standards for MLs, I was genuinely surprised to see him be honest with her (for the most part) and not lie and hide everything to manipulate her to get what he wants I hope it'll stay that way and he'll just try standard means of convincing her
We'll be seeing a lot more blushing Robin from now on
