    The Changes Nobody Sees.

    Once upon a time, an ugly little rat fetus started sprouting in the middle of the forest. As the chosen one, you must grow this rat fetus into a nice juicy steak by nurturing it. Good luck! Also, anything that cause physical harm is animal abuse. The foolish mortal stared at the departing angel...

    Criticism

    I've seen a few threads about this recently, either that or they just end up going down the path to this discussion. It has led to the resurfacing to an old question of mine, and I figured I'd ask it. Is constructive criticism that disregards the authors preferences and style really valid? I...

    Stories that have scarred you.

    Books, television, manga, comics anything, doesn’t matter. Neither does the reason. Could be because of how bad it was, how scary, how disturbing, etc. I just want to “vent”, so you can too if you want. Kami no Kodomo. I am scarred, yet intrigued. It could’ve been worse, but I was not...

    Recommendations Two Faced Protagonist.

    My fluff phase has been set aside for later, now I want to read one of these. I watched Darker Than Black recently, and I really liked in the first season how Hei had two different sides to him. Preferably a story where the protagonist pretends to be one way to get what he wants or hide his...

    Recommendations Fluff

    I need the wholesomest of fluff novels/anime. I don't care if it's super cliche and cringy. Doukyuusei has left me with withdrawal symptoms and I'm depressed. Fluff can get boring sometimes so small drama is okay, just not the totally angsty stuff, that stresses me out. Simply put...

    Uhhhhhhh Something Went Wrong Here.

    How did this happen? :sweating_profusely: :sweating_profusely: :sweating_profusely: It was supposed to be a girl with her head in her hands...

    Rare Sightings.

    For me, anyway.

    Recommended Software?

    Pretty self explanatory. With all these references that have been granted to me I've decided to get off my butt and try to practice more rather than just sit and hope I get better someday. Some say you should start with a hand drawn sketch, and that's all fine and dandy, but what should I...

    Reacting to Hate Comments

    Hasn’t happened yet, but with my writing skills, it’s only inevitable. Therefore, I would like to ask about addressing those hate comments. Many hate comments have valid criticism and advice, and it can be okay to react or respond to them (Or at least I think so?) Other times it’s just: hey...

    Mega important

    I would like to build a reputation in this community of having crippling self doubt and the uncanny ability to make annoying self-deprecating jokes. I dream that one day someone will start a thread about how much they hate self-deprecating people and someone will reply “@Maple-Leaf, get your...

    How does this look?

    (Changed the mouth a bit) I ain’t no Pablo Picasso, but It’s better than my usual half finished doodles. Any critique? Also, the rest of his body has been omitted due to lack of skill.

    Everyday Things That Piss You Off.

    Not anyone else’s fault, but I hate when I feel like I have things to read or watch to pass the time, but then I realize I don’t actually want to do those things. First world problems, man.

    Recommendations Quick Transmigration

    My favorite genre ever. I have burned through so many of these its ridiculous. I’ve seen many of...questionable quality. Anyway I’ve gone through most of the CN origins that have a substantial amount of chapters translated so if you know any written originally in English that have more than one...

    I’m tired of changing myself to conform with society’s norms.

    It’s so tiring trying to fit in these days. all this crap about being yourself when, really, the people in charge don’t need anything except flimsy ‘keyboard warriors’ to shame the general public into doing what they want. I’m here to finally stand up for myself. nobody‘s disapproval can stop...

    What do you want least to happen after you die?

    imagine just having to watch the human race for the rest of time. Like, I just got out of that hellhole and now I don’t even get to participate? Or maybe I would just disappear. And never think again. ngl sounds marginally better than the first option.

    He said that his sister’s cousin’s dog’s owner’s cousin’s brother said:

    Whenever writing dialogue one(me) tends to write the phrase: “-s/he said” a lot. I try to substitute it with other things like: suddenly s/he shouted: et, etc or: a mans voice rang through the room: Yada Yada... stuff like that. But I feel it’s getting somewhat repetitive. Should I just assume...
