Jesus! why are there so many users defending Tongtong's mom??? Are they really so misleading about parenthood that they're willing to overlook something as serious as child abuse?!?! what the hell???

Maybe because you keep insisting on blaming the entirely wrong party?

and kicked the dude to the curb right away rather than not believing her daughter or being in denial about it.

I feel like that's putting it lightly. Didn't she immediately go and outright beat the shit out of him upon finding out about it?

To say the least. Mommy's going out for a bit.

Adding to that there's also the fact that her husband is often out of the home and Luxi apparently gets along with him, I think she's more of stubborn my-way-or-the-highway type of household head.

...pretty sure the main reason Luxi is kinda whatever about her dad, as opposed to the fraught relationship with her mother, is that he basically isn't even present in her life. He seems to be pretty much irrelevant both in his daughter's emotional landscape (aside from the fights with his wife when the deadbeat now deigns to show up at home) and for the economic maintenance of the family which appears to be largely on the shoulders of the overworked and overstressed Mrs. Lin.

And now Tongtong's mom will give advice to them..... I have a very bad feeling. I feel like it will make things even worse. Being the liberal woman that she is, she could hardly empathize with the problems of a responsible mother.

You have strange definitions for responsible parenthood.
And I'd say that last sentence is... highly revealing in all kinds of ways that explain a whole lot.

By the way, there seem to be several who disagree with my opinion that Tongtong's mother is a whore, disregarding the fact that she almost had her daughter abused by a degenerate. Shit, if he had really raped her the situation would have been much worse. I think the manga treats that situation too lightly.

I'm sorry but since when was she supposed to be a prescient mind-reader?

I wonder how small is Watanabe

"As tiny as comedy demands"

I don't like it at all that the mother who is a whore and practically left his daughter at the mercy of a degenerate has a happy and satisfying life while the other mother has a somewhat miserable life, she is doing what is best for her daughter, there is nothing wrong with that.

Fascinating.

tfw I keep parsing the title as "epileptic dorm" -.-;

does this count as ntr technically

No, getting dumped for someone else isn't ntr.

It is if they were actively talked into it by someone, which the mistress was.

It's still not NTR though since the "protagonists" are the ones doing the seduction/being seduced, it's Netori.

Netorare = Having a loved one or lover taken away from you by someone else.
Netori = Taking a loved one or lover away from someone else.
(Not necessarily by force or romantically, but including, and whether the "taking away" is well intentioned towards and genuine towards the "loved one" doesn't change the definition.)

Consider my terminology button TRIGGERED (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

There's also "netorase" and idfk what that one even specifically consists of, whole field ain't my fetish. Thing is all three neatly fit under the three-letter abbreviation NTR...

ACE DETECTIVE~

How about "Tong Tong's mom is actually dating Lin Luxi's dad right now and is planning to get married, so he takes custody of Luxi and the two girls get to live together as step-sisters"

The psuedo-incest kinda complicates this, but I'm def expecting some flavor of "TT's mom + LL's dad"

Edit: tbh I can't remember the whole deal with Lin Luxi's dad, so I have no idea if this is even a possibility

...do you quite remember A) Ms. Tong's taste in guys B) Mr. Lin's character setting?

I come here for a sweet and sexy yuri story and what do I get? An unprovoked attack in my childhood. I am shocked!

RUINED FOREVER

^they make for some very entertaining reading thanks to their unabashedly sociopathic antics tho

The world really does revolve around Aria, doesn't it.

Well, the vampire world at least. Don't think the muggles in general even notice though.

Finally, tier lists that are actually #relevant

Ohhhh, shit. This is actually like, really bad.
I mean, ignore the homophobia issue, I don't recall if we've seen indications that that might be a problem or not. But even if it's not, Lin's mom is literally working herself to death to support her daughter because she married a worthless loser that was a drag on her.

She is ABSOLUTELY going to think that's what this is. Her daughter was doing fine, then she started hanging out with/dating this girl, then her grades fell and she worked herself sick getting them back up again. She is totally going to think her daughter is repeating her mistakes, whether she has an issue with her gender preference or not.

It's worth noting that the visuals in particular for the mom have not been those of a good-hearted but overworked person with her daughter's best interests at heart, but of a borderline-crazed control freak. I don't expect that Lin's going to just be "in trouble" in any normal sense, but that there's going to be some kind of hysterical supernova.

TBF Mrs. Lin in general gives off a strong impression of being constantly on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Whatever her personal faults might be the kind of life she has certainly isn't helping one bit.

After all - Asumi isn't just a good customer but also a rewarding one. You quickly learn to appreciate those in a service-sector job :v

^haven't watched it myself but from what I've seen mentioned about it it basically covers the initial 1st-year arc before most of the now-familiar cast is introduced so yeah.

Ew, Lector/Herald shields. Already got fed up with those during the few encounters in Enk, they're like the peak asshole version of the whole already annoying concept.

...Enkanomiya is pretty much a really weird take on Atlantis isn't it? What with the original Greek naming schemes and sinking and Supa Sekrit Antediluvian Lore™ and all. (Also seems like a convenient place to farm a number of enemy mats given the compactness of the islands and proximity of Waypoints...)

Also also I should clear Ei's second charquest today I guess, better get started on farming the Robogod for Yae's 7+ skill mats sooner rather than later - that crap takes a while to pile up :s

...I should probably stop procastrinating and actually unlock Enkanomiya - the quest chain's been gathering dust on the list for months - so I can actually do the new event, come think of it >_>

^^plus one of Beanstalk's metal crabs for whatever reason - maybe because both have flowers growing outta their noggins? thonking.jpg

New primogem code from an unknown source: ZSPDKSC3V8V5 (Gives 60 primogems + 5 Adventurer's Experience).

Nice!

Did 50 pulls on Yae's banner (thanks LNY) and 10 on standard. End result was 2 Yaes, 2 Fischls (C5 now, just... one... more...), 4(!) Thomas (C4) plus randomly a Sara (C2), a Favo Lance (R3) and 2 Rusts (R1). (Some time ago I got spooked by a rando Amos so I guess I now have full collection of "attack mode specialty" bows?)

Definitely a good haul. Piled up enough of those whatchamacallems that I could buy Noelle's final dupe off the shop too so the vacancy of the Geo Archon is now filled :v

Also Yae's lines are lulzy. "Do something amusing for me." "Let's go bully that Yashiro Com girl [ie. Sayu] into cooking something for me!"

p sure Alina's death was just the "beginning of the end", both due to its own obvious emotional impact and because it deprived Tal of a vital emotional/psychological support and moral anchor point. The actual breakpoint that allowed the Snake to take over only came later, when she finally lost it in that one village - that was the last straw that broke her idealism and faith in "regular people". Kaschchey back in the day pretty much outright told her as much, and both Alina and... IIRC Patriot? had repeatedly expressed concern about her excessive optimism in that regard and how she kind of didn't have an ideological fallback should she be disillusioned one day. If memory serves in "present time" at one point Faust also made a passing mention about how she changed "after that village"...
