    @Markgraf That's adorable. The old saying goes, "Fail to plan, you plan to fail." I'd add "Plan to plan."

    The Game Where You Insult the Person Below You but You Do It so Badly that It's Hillarious

    When the earthquakes come, Beauties shake on their displays: Clam'ring friends a-mill. Thou below! At a distance, your avatar looks like a girl sticking a hand in one ear and out the other.

    Something who made you happy recently.

    I didn't get through today's to-do list as quickly as I'd have liked, but I did it in a way that I won't give up on tomorrow. I think I can keep doing this, and I'm pretty happy about that. @DANDAN_THE_DANDAN Goodness, that's quite a lot of a few! Vinland Saga and Fire Force sound most...

    Something who made you happy recently.

    I made contact with an old friend. First real life friend I've done that with in about two years. Tried composing some music, tried playing some I've never played before. Watched a local production of Matilda the Musical. Marveled at the verbal agility of a rapper. Life is generous to me, but...

    The Game Where You Insult the Person Below You but You Do It so Badly that It's Hillarious

    Yeah, like a bottle of water, which covers 70% of the planet's surface. Deny that, physicists. Two rolls of paper towels and a can of sardines disappear daily from my house, and the person below is real cagey about explaining.

    Men of Culture's Debates

    Of true ghosts, it's true: When it comes down to hit or - One can't help but miss. -- My attitude toward ghosts in general, especially cute ones, is to help them move on as gently as possible, don't keep them.

    The Game Where You Insult the Person Below You but You Do It so Badly that It's Hillarious

    Even if I can hardly draw with these pricey birthday markers, I can at least wring them out in a celebrity's hair! Oh, Justin... Person below me is most at home when pecking for crumbs in a park with the pigeons.

    Men of Culture's Debates

    This would seem to depend on how persons are defined under the law. Also what you're asking if they're legal for. Supply these hypotheticals, fellow cultural bastion.

    What are the stories behind your username and avatar.

    @dankdevice Color me impressed. Both at you going through with it, and your daring friends coming up with a challenging but harmless(?) dare. @MoonlightFairy It's great that your name is like a trophy of your learning. Very inspiring. Your last phrase, "I'm not stick at this name." is a bit...

    What are the stories behind your username and avatar.

    It tickles me, that there's a word for words that name things by somethings else about said things. Good a word as any to pique folks' curiosity with. Plus, it's very slightly self-referential. Picture is from a short comic I drew of a scene I played out in a pen and paper RPG. It's a juvenile...

    This Villainess Wants a Divorce! - Vol. 1 Ch. 22

    "4U" ... "I could breathe a bit easier and leave the palace." -- The setup is old as the hills, but this delivery is somehow the first to make me suppress hysterical laughter. Five panels, folks. Words unheard, five panels, wham, dramatic irony. Maybe that's not so unique. But something about...

    I AM ALIVE

    @Pokari I don't think I say that the pencil ought to be capable of doing greater things than she did in primary school. And if I say that the pencil's problem is laziness, then I qualify that with implications that it is laziness tainted by complacency and misplaced, as you say, pride. I do try...

    I AM ALIVE

    @Pokari Late response here, but I wanted to say that I find the moral to be quite well-expressed. I Am Alive is very similar to the children's story of The Little Red Hen, who plants wheat and gathers other ingredients to make bread, asking other animals for help and receiving none. When her...

    Dungeon Meshi - Vol. 8 Ch. 54 - On the 1st Level, Part II

    @Dirtbug To be fair, it's weird for anybody to get involved in shady business without nefarious or ulterior motives. He'd have been right about anyone less oblivious and goodhearted than the Thordens.
