make art about it, write fics about it, make it my entire personality for a whole of three weeks, join online forums to talk about it, join clubs with people for it. rinse, recylce, repeat, until I find something else to hyperfixate on. reply
tangent on this but also related is the case with the japanese streamer stabbed to death by a stalker, who has gained sympathy from the local men who claimed to be ‘fans’ due to the streamer having been ‘ungrateful’ which warranted the murder. Saeron got flamed (even in death) by netizens saying why she got involved with a top billed actor ...... 1 reply
Navillera. It's about a jaded old man who pursues his passion for dancing late in his life with the help of a younger dancer. No romance, no major crises, just slice of life that deals with the pitfalls and upsides of aging, which I don't think gets talk about a lot in webtoons. Not a lot of main characters are truly old in age (some revert to youn...... 3 reply
I grew up in a devout catholic, evangelical community. To prove my worth I brought two bibles with me everyday and quoted verses on the fly like I was owed a sainthood. I was 10.

You complain about the life that you chose! You’re not a victim! Not at all! Your generosity conceals something dirtier and meaner. You’re incapable of facing your ambitions, and you resent me for it. But I’m not the one who put you where you are. I have nothing to do with it! You’re not sacrificing yourself, as you say. You choose to sit o...... 1 reply

They All Died Screaming is an apocalyptic slasher horror book written from two perspectives: during a deadly pandemic and a boy who is adopted by a serial kidnapper who *a*pes his "swine." There is a twist in the end that absolutely sickened me.
Things have gotten worse since we last spoke is a lesbian 'meet-cute' that goes terribly wr...... 2 reply
