I’ll give you a hint.

Between ages 5-30

Hope that narrows it down a little bit.

@anatra23

Hehe, that sounds like it was fun!

HEMA is as close to a name for it that I can find. We FINALLY have some armor, so it’s not as painful as it used to be. =)

Sleeping will eventually become unavoidable, but sanity? Definitely optional.

@anatra23

The movie they were gathering funds for and had a fantastic add for? I don’t know: I haven’t heard anything positive or negative.

@anatra23

I watched the SAO anime series up to the end of the Gungale arc. My cousin kinda got sick of cutting so much stuff at that point, fair enough😂.

@devastate-lasting

Yeah, my brother loves Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. He says it’s like one of his favourite animes, and perhaps the best anime he’s ever seen. He once found a meme he who…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 I’ve heard amazing things about The Promised Neverland, but I think I’m far too sensitive for that one lol.  I love Haikyuu, though! Who’s your favorite character/team?  My favorite characters are Bokuto and Sakusa, and my favorite team is probably Fukurodani or Inarizaki (my real favorite is a spoiler sooo…)

That’s the issue w…[Read more]

@anatra23 Big thanks to @trahia-the-minstrel for putting out content warnings here; about FMAB; it does get pretty dark, actually, but I feel like if you watch Jujutsu Kaisen you can probably watch the bulk of most anime, considering that Jujutsu Kaisen is rated TV-MA here in the US but FMAB is rated TV-14. Common sense media is a good place to…[Read more]

@anatra23

Yay! You started it!

• I’ve watched Snow White with the Red Hair (my fave)(all of these were subbed except SAO and Arslan, btw😂 I mostly can’t stand dubbed)
• The Royal Tutor
• The Heroic Legend of Arslan
• Toradora!
• Sword Art Online (heavily edited to make it PG)
• Your Name (favourite anime movie ever!)
• Violet Evergarden

@anatra23

Exactly!

@elishavet-pidyon

Oh… I love those lines. The shadow of a poet in me shivers in ecstasy. The beauty, the meter, the words all make me explode!

Ok, I’ll be quiet now.

@anatra23

George MacDonald was a Scottish author in the mid-late 1800s. He wrote some fantasy (The Light Princess for example). His fantasy is unique in its beautiful reflection of Christian morals/themes (it’s in there deep), and he was a major influencer in C. S. Lewis’ work. He also wrote some, what do you call it, in-our-world-fiction (Sir…[Read more]

@anatra23 Ay, for comedy/slice of life I recommend:

• Barakamon
• Yotsuba&!
• Way of the Househusband

And for fantasy/adventure:

• Fullmetal Alchemist (if you’re only going to watch the anime watch the Brotherhood version)
• The Devil is a Part-Timer!
• Bungou Stray Dogs

Me, looking over my lists: I could have sworn there was way more I need…[Read more]

@anatra23 ooh that’s a tough one.  The dub is way funnier than the sub, since it’s super chaotic and really just perfectly captures actual conversations that high school kids might have (so it’s basically dumber lol).  Personally, I prefer the sub because I can’t understand the swearing (haikyuu has some language, but it’s nothing too intense.  Th…[Read more]

@anatra23 Finally, my field of expertise.

I have heard of all of these! I’ve read several volumes of Horimiya and Your lie in April was my first anime. For a complete list of my read and watched anime, you may consult myanimelist here: https://myanimelist.net/profile/xiajiao

Well, lemme just open up my presentation that I bring with me whenever…[Read more]

@anatra23 @koshka

Wasn’t it? And it’s good to end a series before it gets fizled out. He ends it with “Hey, there’s more coming, it’ll be better than what’s here, but that’s a new epoch. Let’s go and have our own adventures.”

And I love the George MacDonald quote as the epigraph. It’s so perfect.

Plus,(sorry this has been a bit of a ramble) if…[Read more]

@anatra23

Oh how many books have I at least confused by reading ahead? Almost every book I read. =|

His books are sooooo good. I hope mine may somehow measure up.*sigh* I would probably have written waayyy to far and ruined it.

@anatra23

Yeah, the second season has a lot more drama. But the mangas go way further in the story than the anime, so I’m really enjoying reading them! (We’re up to 16 in English, now, cause I can’t read Japanese that well😅😂)

Yeah, Shirayuki’s character growth — she kinda doesn’t develop a lot for a bit. But in the mangas, after where the a…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

thank you for the kind words, Kathleen!  John 14 is a wonderful idea.  it’s hard to always remember that God is there, but what you said is so true.  now that i think about it, songs are the main things that come on and remind me of the truth.  “water under the bridge” is what my mom likes to say, when life is hard sometimes.  thank…[Read more]

@anatra23

Oh no! What did I get myself into? 😉 Ok, Fort Apache is an old Western set in southwest Texas. Our family used to watch it  and its sequel a lot. We kids liked it better than the sequel, because it had a funny scene with a group of children, while our mother liked the sequel better because it had a better plot, and sweet, thoughtful…[Read more]

Ok, let’s see…

The American Girl Stories: they were meant for a young audience, and I see them as such. I still like them, they’re just….

Little One, Maid of Israel: Biblical fiction taken flight. Sweet story, not satisfied with the ending.

But honestly, it’s been a while since I reread anything beyond classics like Northanger Abbey and The…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Despite not having read  Ingleside (I have only read the first Anne of Green Gables book) I thoroughly related to your frustrations in your post.

One of my pet peeves in books are characters who makes dumb decisions simply for plot convenience. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally fine with characters who make mistakes, but the…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Thank you! 😀 He turned out so sweet.

@anatra23 Yeah, eyes can be hard to do. I think this was one of my best attempts at the “photo” look yet. For what it’s worth, there are bunches of step-by-step images online for eyes that I found transformed the way my sketches looked. That and copying detailed photographs.

Sorry I have taken so…[Read more]
