I've seen this sentiment floating around in the anime community that modern anime fans hate (straight) romance series, like it's a shift in the tides.

As a guy who reads a lot of romance manga and is also jaded as hell towards a lot of it, I can assure that that is not the case. A lot of romance manga is just slop. So much of it is ass.

We don't hate romance. We just hate—if I may say—heteroslop

I heard some kids were saying sombr's the reincarnation of Jeff Buckley, which like... I don't think being a hot skinny white boy who can sing makes you Jeff Buckley.

Anyway, Grace is one of the best-sounding rock albums I've listened to.

I've got like the weirdest mancrush on Cameron Winter of Geese fame. I am enamored by the man's face, stinky appearance, and unconventional voice and singing style. But I am a boy and will be punished.

How strange it is to be anything at all.

Whatchu know about Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora? In all likelihood, probably not much. UNLESS YOU'RE A NERD

Anyway, I thought the show itself was kind of underwhelming for a "sick girl romantic drama," mainly due to the characters being insufferable.

I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna actually write today. I'm gonna do it.

A good friend gave me the incredibly obvious advice of "Oh you know just write even if it's messy and shitty. You can fix it later. That's what a first draft is, dumbfuck", so I'm going to write. I'm gonna do it. It'll be an elucidating experience for all parties involved

Nothing wrong with having an accent. It isn't a good indicator of how well you speak the language.

I've seen people fixate way too much on this stuff

Pretend it's still International Men's Day.

This one's for all my yearners out there. All my Goslings. All the homies who want to bleed out slowly in the snow.

Don't lose hope. There is a girl or guy or they/them out there who will ruin your life for character development.

I wish there were some real conspiracy nutjobs here like in America. The thing is, most conspiracy theories about Indonesia are probably true anyway, so you don't really find nutjobs.

Yes, Hitler did die in West Java after being sheltered by the illuminati. Read a book.

The Moog synthesizer helped define the 60s-70s, from The Beatles to Rush.

Wendy Carlos was instrumental (ha) to its development and popularity, seen in this clip with wicked sideburns demonstrating the monstrosity of cables. She'd go on to break the Moog into the mainstream with her debut album Switched-On Bach.

Remember guys

When you don't know how to add appropriate drama and trauma to your male protagonist's life, just insert a pretty but shallow female character whose only purpose is to die for the protagonist's development
