this keeps happening to me and it makes me sad... like.. uke like semes or whatever, but it just loops back into they should just be uke. or they switch for a joke and its like. wait.....
Me and this random guy started talking on Instagram and we were getting along we were talking for like 2 days and slept on the phone whatever then suddenly he asks me who my family is I tell him we find out that we're actually first cousins then a random girl I followed who we don't know each other by the way suddenly tells me that she's also my first cousin because they live together and then I FaceTime the girl we're laughing and then she hands me over to her uncle because her uncle knows my father and wants to see what was going on I can't believe situation where people say I hope you find out he's your first cousin actually happened to me
I think I found it here once, it was a uquiz asking about your favorite color but it got deep (the only way I can describe it) and then at the end it asks for your favorite color and that would be the outcome of the quiz. I don’t know if this post will be deleted or something but I want to find it again
and not also the racism, puritanism, eugenics ideals, bioessentialism, facism, fatphobia, xenophobia, interphobia and homophobia (especially against butches, gnc women and queer men) among a longer list of wrong conclusions. like-- LOOK DEEPER into what you belive
What is something about your culture that other people might find weird
My sketchbook is falling apart.
I picked it up and the front pages just ripped.
I keep stapling it back together, it's not working how do I fix it?

I'm guessing a lot of y'all are artists, i wonder if anyone here as a comic they want to promote or just share. I've been on neocities and I'm seeing so many amateur comics that are so good but underrated ☹
Why's @gojospubichair your #2 opp here and now i am curious who's your #1
And don't mention about me being an alt that'd be like saying the sky is blue

Is there anyone here who's able to NOT listen to any music even for just one day? How is that even possible
R u being fr having wife/husband in this godforsaken site?
To go into more detail, sometimes, I'm not sure why, mangago on my phone gives me a blank white screen with the text "we're sorry, the request file are not found. Σ(っ°Д °;)っ"
That exact sentence (i have pictures but can't post it here but I'll see if I can post it in replies)
I'm not entirely sure how it starts or ends, it's completely inconsistent where mangago would work and I wouldn't be forced in this page for a year or it appears but one quick refresh it goes away immediately, or sometimes where it comes up and NEVER goes away.
Usually I can deal with it because at max it lasted for an hour or two and I can jump right back in, but my phone has been locked on it for 2 weeks, no refresh works, no time apart from it works, nothing. Sometimes it loads but the moment I click something like a manga, next chapter, or even just the homepage it goes RIGHT back into it. Even while writing a comment I'll notice the comment doesn't send at all, i hit refresh and boom white page. My original guess is that it's either my browser which is the default safari on Apple, or my phone which is an IPhone 13, but it's so inconsistent that I'm not entirely sold on it being that issue, but I've never had this issue on my IPad (also Apple and use safari) or my computer, just my phone. It's been so bad lately I had to completely stop using mangago altogether (I only really use it on my phone) and asking this question from my computer. I've asked people who use mangago and showed it to them in person and on discord, even researching on google or topics here, and no one knows what is even happening to me.
Is anyone else experiencing this or know the cause? It would be great if someone knows a solution but honestly all I care about at this point is knowing the direct issue

I've been meaning to ask but Do you guys know each other? Like, do you guys recognize some usernames or talk to people here? I feel like there's a lot of people that use mangago but like only some answer questions or write in feeds and those users know each other. I know its not like that but I'm gonna get FOMO if true.
The font is different and the summary is also in red. Is this a new feature???

not to beat a dead horse but i want to clarify some things i made in a recent post. i have received some criticisms/pushbacks for my points, and out of all of them i find only a couple that hold merit:
1. sexual violence in media and bank robberies/serial killers are not an equivalent/valid comparison
i agree with this criticism wholeheartedly and redact that statement. however, i will say that this person also brought up the tangible harm of pornography, to which i will say has more to do with the trafficking and exploitation/abuse of real-life women and girls and plays a larger role in condoning violence towards women. smut in bl does not hold even a thimble of the gravity or violence that exists in the porn you'd find on p*rnhub for example. that said, i don't dismiss the legitimate concern about the frequent normalization of assault and dubcon in yaoi, but this requires a more critical analysis than simply labeling consumers as people who "fetishize gay men being assaulted"
2. consuming yaoi is problematic also because of the racial aspect/fetishization of east asian men.
- i did not consider the racial aspect in my argument, as an asian woman, i think it holds SOME merit. however, the fetishization of east asian men isn't a phenomenon created or primarily perpetuated by bl, but one that has colonial and political roots of western interaction with asia. today, it's more strongly tied to other cultural exports like kpop, dramas, etc rather than yaoi. while bl can be a part of this ecosystem, the primary and most potent critique of yaoi has always been abt its relationship to queer representation, so my focus will remain on that
i don't think people are understanding that when i say the creation and consumption of BL can be empowering for women, i don't mean that it is immune from criticism. they aren't mutually exclusive!
what i find interesting is that no one addressed my point that since queer relationships exist as taboos and on the margins of society, it's natural that queer stories explore transgressive/taboo themes.
also, it's strange that people assume everyone who consumes yaoi is a straight woman. i wonder if you guys have actually interacted irl with people who consume yaoi. i know i have (i myself am a lesbian), and the majority of them have been queer men and women. and even if most consumers are straight women, so what? yaoi depicts an angle to relationships on women's own terms, separating them from the violence they are typically subjected to both irl and in media. also, yaoi CANNOT be heteronormative! heternormative is an academic term! it describes a worldview promoting heterosexuality as the default, normal, and perferred sexual orientation. yaoi cannot be heternormative unless it ironically conveys the message that queerness is bad, abnormal, and that heterosexual relationships are absolutely the way to go. yaoi is the antithesis of that lmfao it centers queer male relationships as the object of narrative desire and emotional investment.
tldr; bl/consumption of bl does not exist in a vacuum, but has grown out of repressive societies that marginalize and shame queerness and female sexuality and desire, and condone violence towards women. there is an ASPECT to bl which points to women exploring certain dynamics or sensuality that isn't rooted in a violence they are very much in danger of in their everyday lives. there's also a reason why queer media in the west is very different than it is in asia lmfao. consider the cultural and historical roots of how media develops and grows. again, this is to add NUANCE to the bl discussion, not to invalidate any criticism of it.
i won't apologize for this post or discussion. read if you want, don't read if you don't want to. but i believe everyone is capable of critical thinking and i don't think this platform of users is above or below this type of discussion. so please be respectful, considerate, and thoughtful if you choose to respond. i might be speaking into a void but...well. this is my niche lmao. and yes, it IS that deep!

I'm looking for this manga where MC(highschool male I think?) married a fluffy non humanoid monster. Side characters also married a monster. I forgot the title. It's a slice of life + comedy.
I never got to be in that app cus I was too young to understand English and how to use the Internet, I only found them when it was gone. All I witnessed was musical.ly
This is a bit random but growing up in was never taught how to but I have stawberry legs and ingrown hair and it's always dry how do people make their legs all nice and shiny and smooth?
What are some words, quotes, or lines from manga, manhwa, or manhua that have stuck with you? I originally said sad quotes, but you can include inspiring or beautiful ones too. You can also share any from novels if you want, since I know a lot of readers are here.
