Not cheating exactly. But I just never see these two lasting for some reason.   2 reply

I’m really into The Lumineers (especially 'Ophelia'), and I highly recommend Jesse Welles—his songs tackle social issues in such a thought-provoking way. Also, you all have to listen to 'Afreen Afreen' by Momina Mustehsin and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. I came across it randomly and it's been stuck in my head (it's best not to directly support the tr......   reply

I used to have a scrapbook dedicated to them. Got over that phase thankfully.   1 reply

I’m obsessed with 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. It’s always on my mind! I still can’t get over 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist' by Mohsin Hamid and 'As Long as the Lemon Tree Grows' by Zoulfa Katouh (they are so cute. Look at them. Augh, why must life be so cruel. My babies). Both books were deeply eye-opening. Also, please read 'Qi......   reply

I hate to admit it, but everything’s been going downhill lately. I dive into a BL with high hopes, it’s going great, and then, bam, brick to the face. (This is not at all targeting 'Scammed & Rammed' or 'Bad Apple'. Even if I did waste my hard-earned money on them. Not at all. I promise.) So I think, fine, let’s try a GL. It starts off nice,......   1 reply

Okay girl, listen. I’m about to go full TedTalk mode on why you need to read one of my all-time favorite GL novels, “She is the Protagonist.” Strap in. (This is just a copy paste of the rant I sent my friends to convince them last month, lol) So, the setup: modern day. Our FL dies and transmigrates after being forced by this shady “system......   2 reply

I keep craving to meet new people like it’s a hobby, but the second I do, my brain goes buffering and I suddenly forget how to human. Am I a socially anxious extrovert? Or just an introverted pup with connection issues? Really wanna change this about me...   reply

I love it if it is not one of those violent tsunderes that beat up their crush in embarassment. It's such a cute trope if done right. And it's so fun to see other characters tease a tsundere. That said, I do prefer it more when both parties are very very chalant so I don't read the tsundere trope intentionally until I do accidentally come across i......   reply

They’re always less privileged than the ML/FL... Is it the money MCs? Is that it? Like, how you gonna pass up the obvious green flag?   2 reply

I usually choose safe reads, so my experiences are mostly positive (aside from the sudden heartbreak of Scammed & Rammed and Bad Apple). So because of that mostly positive experience I don’t dislike any particular trope, but I do wish there were more BL manga/manhwa/ manhua with strong action, mystery, or thought-provoking plots, like Little Mush......   2 reply

Back in second grade, our school was under army jurisdiction, right next to their cantonment (a place where they housed the families of soldiers and also had many offices and training facilities. This is why many of their children attended the school too and we would be directly aware of any state issues first hand). One day, a bomb went off in the......   1 reply

I’m not sure what usually helps pull someone out of a reading slump, but one that always works for me, and I hope it does for you too, is 'Fake Slackers' novel. It’s funny, cute, and so wholesome. More on the slice-of-life side and without angst, so it may not grab you right away, but the ambience, characters, and flow have a way of really stay......   reply

I used to think the sky was just one big black cloak, and the stars were punctures in it, tiny holes letting the light of heaven shine through. I was so jealous of astronauts, because I imagined they could tear open their own space in that cloak and step beyond, straight into heaven. Also, I thought the moon was cheese because of one Tom & Jerry e......   reply

How about trying novels? There are some really good danmei out there. I can recommend you some: After the diabled god of war became my concubine.

I a bit of an expert you can say. Mastered the art of gaming long ago, heh. Jokes aside, I always told myself I won't get into gaming (which I never did) because it would take time away from my studies... But alas, I got into manga and novels instead. Life sure likes to play...   reply

Same girlie. Been here to avoid news until college starts again and takes away all my attention. I hope things look up for you! Anyways, here.
