AgriasArseid (she/they)

Very excited this is happening, but also sad Bocchi season 2 noises.

Thanks for the post. I’ve been wanting to try matrix for a while, but didn’t know where to start.

Current science actually shows that trans women perform worse than cis women in several categories and identical in others. Which correlates with the fact that in the 20 years that trans women have been allowed to compete in the olympics, not a single one has made it there. It was a small study and needs to be expanded upon, but is still better evidence than what any of the reactionary bans have.

Here’s a link to an article that includes a link to the actual study https://www.outsports.com/2024/4/12/24091267/transgender-athletes-study-research-science-sports-governing-bodies/

I didn’t even notice you could alter your display name like this. Almost a year here and somehow missed this feature.

EDIT:
And apparently its only working on my blahaj.zone account (lol how appropriate)
my beehaw account is not letting me update the name
and my fedia account, which uses mbin doesn’t even have it as an option

The original webnovel is 552 chapters, the Webtoons adaptation is about a third of the way through it at 200+ episodes, and these aren’t short. I wonder what pacing they will go with. I think up through the 4th scenario at episode ~70 of the webtoon is a good stopping point, but that might be too fast and end up incoherent.

Yeah, I can only assume it will be a very limited release.

It’s funny, I enjoyed the demons in Frieren because they weren’t just humans of a different skin color but felt truly alien. They are not evil, they don’t enjoy killing, they just do. I think there is going to be something to understand about them that we are not going to get until we get the flashback to the Demon King, which I assume will be at the end of the series.

I think what made her extra happy, was Fern being confident enough to suggest that, rather than Frieren asking her to do it.

I’ve been waiting for her since she is so on display in the ending. The season is almost over and now it seems like she’ll be a main character.

This section killed me. Sums up my entire high school experience, even though I did not come out until almost 30.

“Even Sam herself starts to wonder if she’s a gay man, because it would definitely explain the queerness she feels all the time. It would also explain why she feels a kinship to the gay community, even though she’s not gay herself. Alas, she was a boy who exclusively liked girls — it didn’t get much more hetero than that.”

That spell Frieren used to break the barrier looked like it veered into sci-fi territory. It was a cool effect.

Yeah those wolves were hard to look at. Though usually bad CGI like that just means there is a complete lack of budget rather than them saving it for something later. I think the only thing we can expect from the series later is more terrible CGI monsters. I’m glad action is not the hook of the show.

All things considered, that huge display of power went better for her than I expected. Rather than turn the country against her in fear, they roll out the red carpet.

How are they making Yumellia’s cold calculating self so adorable and funny? This show is better than I expected.

It might just be the first sentence. He focuses on his appearance, so Frieren is more likely to remember what he looked like because it was part of his character traits.

Such a shame to see Sein leave. I look forward to what the payoff of Gorilla’s story is going to end up being wherever the group meets up with Sein again.

Same, went in blind, only because so many people were hyped for it. And I can see why, it was a lot of fun. Though, I agree that they are oddly chill about the MC’s sister considered she is on an unknown clock to being digested and unable to be revived.

Like, is there timer measured in weeks? months? years? That’s awfully long.

Another person who picked theirs from a video game. Pick the name you want to give yourself. Don’t worry about what other people think and focus on if it makes YOU happy.

The design just looks like Claire from I’m in love with the Villainess. Not that it was a particularly unique design.

Not the best example as the old FMA branched off into anime-only original content for it’s second half. So Brotherhood is the only adaptation that covers the entire source.
