i'm pretty sure endorph was speaking in reference to how people used to get really upset at bloom into you for things happening in it, not saying that bloom into you is fluff where nothing happens
they like the parts of bloom into you where nothing happens, and dislike the parts where things happen

Bloom Into You is a good, pretty, and very thoughtful manga where interesting things happen, and I hope the anime is very good and successful. *drops mic*

It's possible to think something looks dumb/point out that it's a very common artstyle due to all the artists just trying to look like eachother without being mad about it

I finally read the bullying manga and I don't hate it as much as I expected. I feel like most chapters end too abruptly though, like they are missing a conclusion other than "bullying happened"

In elementary school there was this tree on the playground that everyone called the Oochee Tree. It was said that one of the janitors owned a monkey named Oochee and when Oochee died he was buried beneath that tree. During recess kids would dance around it and say chants to try and summon Oochee's ghost

  • Elementary: Went to one of the last all-male public schools in the state. Recess / Cafeteria hour was insane. Rock Paper Scissoring yourself to winning/losing lunch was a sport.
  • Middle School: Went during the height of the mid-90's Mexican economic crisis. Every school in my zone was territorial as gently caress. Piggyback battles were as "sportsmanlike" as we got in settling scores for people in our school (anyone outside of the school was getting the poo poo beaten out of them, unfortunately).
  • Music School: I actually peed on one of the walls of the cathedral due to the fact that I got drunk for the first time at 13 years of age. Luckily, my classmates covered for me. People often played pranks on tuba players. Girls often used the boys' bathroom due to the Women's own being, apparently, "an ungodly mess" out for repairs.
  • High School: Boring, though the guy who wrote "I'll be back" with feces across the Boys Restroom's Mirrors is still oddly remembered, even after 15 upon my graduation. Streaking in sports events is apparently fairly popular?
  • College: Debauchery (people loving on restrooms was grounds for immediate expulsion, but people still got their bone on frequently), people getting run over on the parking lot on a bi-weekly or so basis. A teacher tea-bagging a defeated student accidentally ended up committing something that many people in some adult websites would've seen as "extremely their poo poo".

The funniest "lore" of my High School days is a toss-up between watching a football player from my school drop-kick the QB from the rival sports team because he found out that he was sleeping with his girlfriend or Kinky deciding to drop by unannounced one day and play a 40-minute set in the flag plaza. Funnily enough, I met the singer years later when I was doing some session work for his then girlfriend and I mentioned that I saw him back in early 2002 in my last semester of high school and he said that he had nothing but disdain for the Football Couch / Gym Teacher (who was infamous for being a bully), but he otherwise liked the school.

The last piece of "lore" is that the Music School which I attended in Saltillo no longer exists so when the opportunity arose and I found out that Berklee had opened their online courses, I decided to take the plunge and study my career once more, along with Music Production.

So yeah, that's the lore of the schools I went with mixed with some of my life experiences. :)

in elementary school we all played a very cool extreme version of tag where you throw rocks at each other, that started because at first we needed an alibi for throwing rocks at one person in particular and then it ended up just being fun, to pelt people with rocks

I was trying to look up to interviews to find out whether a particular sentiment I'd read from Nakatani was from a properly translated interview or just my interpretation of machine translations (thinking the latter at this point), but I did find one I hadn't read before and lol

quote:

—What non-manga yuri series are you currently into?

Nakatani: It’s not recent or anything, but I started playing Fate/Extra because of Fate/Grand Order. I’m playing as a girl and picked Saber as my Servant, which turns it into a yuri game. Yuri fans should definitely play Fate/Extra as the female character.

—You recently drew a cover for a novel as well, right?

Nakatani: Right. I don’t want to sound like I’m just promoting myself, but I drew the cover for Iruma Hitoma-sensei’s novel “Shoujo Mousouchuu.” I personally really enjoyed it. If you like Tokiwa Midori from Tamako Market or Yayaka from Flip Flappers, you definitely need to read it.

Kusunoki: That was really specific! (Laughs)

my memories of being a kid are weird because i feel like i'm almost entirely a different person from who i was just like. four years ago

i think the shift was just caused by a total change in the kind of communities i hang around in making me aware of totally different parts of myself and helping me feel more comfortable with it
