@ Miki

You're free to talk about anything here! (^_^)b
So no need to hold back.

Maybe you should listen to some good music you like...?
Music always helps to loosen up emotional blockades.

I'm sorry to hear that! T_T

But job interviews suck big time anyway!!! It's all so fake and staged.
I think it's time already to go back to the good old times where companies just let you trial work for a while. That way both parties could see whether you're really suited for that job or not. And you can prove your worth like that.
I don't know about other countries but here in Germany a lot of trainee positions stay vacant because both companies and applicants are just expecting too much....
Good old trial work is the most realistic approach that actually delivers the best results.

VOTE FOR TRIAL WORK! (｀∇´)/

It's great to see new people joining in on the fun! (^_^)b
It really is as they say: The more the merrier! ƪ(ˆ▽ˆ)ʃ

@ Miki

Oh, another writer. Nice! :)
No reason to be worried, if you look at it like that then I haven't been productive for months ^^
And if you overlook the few pages I wrote then, then it's even been years that I was really creative for the last time... So you're still fine ^^

But I can't help you with the Idolmaster stuff unfortunately... Not really attached to that series, sorry...

@ Blackkitty

There are always a few cans of Red Bull standing around here! ^^
You can grab one, whenever you need it ;)

Awww... my eye is gonna pop any minute now (•_¤)
(◦’ںˉ◦)

Nope, my birthday is still in the first half of August. But I don't know... I mean, true some believe in stuff like that. But I'm not sure that there's really something to it... Seeing how my dad is also a Leo... We have some similarities, sure, but there are some substantial differences as well...

You're absolutely right about that! My mom's the best mom roaming the earth ^^
She's great! She would do absolutely anything for her kids. And to me she's not just my mother but also my best friend. She knows everything about me and still loves and accepts me and we can talk about anything :)
And like I said, she's so incredibly strong, so I'm really proud of her as well. (ˆ⌣ˆ​) I love her!

What about your family? Supportive or destructive...?

I can relate to that. Sometimes it's really hard to see others suffer. People can be real a**holes in relationships... Just a few months ago my sister separated from her boyfriend. He totally screwed her over. If you think about it, it's really unbelievable 'cause he always seemed like a nice guy. But he was soooo full of lies, it's honestly not easy to comprehend how anyone could be so ruthless with the person they live together with... the one they claim to love even...

Reading your description I'm a totally weird mix of a lot of zodiacs as well ^^
I'm passionate but I'm also hesitant and tend to overthink things, I'm strong-willed and stubborn but still weak and unmotivated most of the time... I'm good with people but I'm also kinda a lone wolf...
Doesn't really add up, I guess... he he :)

While we're at it...
Let me take a look at my blood type... I'm 0... I always forget that...
The Japanese believe in that whole blood type stuff rather than in zodiac signs...
So... let's see what it says: (According to Wikipedia) ^^
Best traits: Confident, self-determined, optimistic, strong-willed, intuitive
Worst traits: Self-centered, cold, doubtful, unpredictable, "workaholic"
hahahaha... Not so sure about the „workaholic“ part ^^ Confident, I wish... eh... same problem with blood types, I guess...

@ Galich

I'm not selling anyone here! (☼Д☼)
I'm not a slave trader!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfLD-7bCtME
I want it all!!! ;)

@ Miki

Thanks!
And may the force be with you! (⌒▽⌒)

@ Blackkitty

Finally done for now (∩_∩) Getting too late... So now I have time to answer you properly...

You're very considerate! That's cute ^^
If you change your mind and ever feel like ripping some parts out of my zombie, let me know ;)

That won't stop me from stating the facts! (◦’ںˉ◦)

Well... after more than 6 years... I think chances that Ai Yazawa will continue NANA are pretty low... That's a shame, really. Why is it always the good series that have to go on hiatus...

Wow... you made me scared there for a second. Almost thought you couldn't stand me at all ^^
I wouldn't be able to take that... O_O I'm not sure if I'm difficult to handle... not if you give me enough space, I think... a little lazy maybe... but apart from that... ;)

Told you I'm weird! (¬‿¬)
You could be right, sort of. 'cause my moms a Virgo and we're much alike.
But she's incredibly strong and a real fighter. I'm not, unfortunately... T_T
(My mom's my hero! (ღˇ◡ˇ)~♥ )
So what's your zodiac sign then???

No need to be sorry ^^

Maybe I'll give The Wallflower a try then. Just to see if you're right with that (˘⌣˘)

@ ChocolateCakeLover

Noooo! It's not what it looks like! You gotta believe me!!!
I just said that because I wanted to make Blackkitty laugh. She said I did so my goal was accomplished!!! There's nothing more to it!
So please don't leave!!!!

@ Utoptia

Have fun! And good night!

@ Miki

Of course you can stick around! Just drop by whenever you feel like it!
I feel like doing that sometimes too. ^^
It's just that life always barges in so I can't - that sucks ;)

@ Miki

Everyone here is socially awkward. Look at me, I'm a zombie. So you can't possibly be more awkward than me ;)

Living in Australia and not liking hot weather... that's gotta be tough...

@ Blackkitty

(^_-)v

Mission accomplished!

@ Miki

Wow, we're expanding our range here ^^
I'm from Germany.
A lot of people from Europe in this thread. Also North America and South Asia.
Now we've finally reached Australia (`･ω･´)

@ Galich

Well... music is what keeps me breathing ;)

@ ChocolateCakeLover

Don't worry! You have me! I love you! (♥ε♥)
DON'T GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

@ Miki

Hello there! And welcome! (^_^)/

I'm sure we can change that and get you talking ;)
So, where are you from?

@ Galich

I'm busy earning some bucks at the moment. Well, trying at least ;)
So todays track is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-P2qL3qkzk

The Flying Lizards – Money
(^_-)v

@ Blackkitty

Don't worry, I didn't skip your post ;)
I'll answer in a bit...

Hah! I doubt that anyone will be able to beat ChocolateCakeLover!
They are the master of random posts! I have yet to encounter someone who's able to match their genius! ^^

@ ChocolateCakeLover

No obsession with evens and odds here but when I was a kid I had to count everything ^^
Just silently in my mind when there was nothing else to do. But I sure liked counting ;)

Oh, on another note...
No luck again last weekend. Bought a lottery ticket. Lost, of course... T_T
I still haven't forgotten my promise ;)

@ Faust

Sorry for the late reply!

I'm like that myself, so I feel with you here ^^ Most of the time I can't even get motivated in the first place – which is even worse, I guess... And it's mostly with the “important“ things in life.
But I'm really good with the unnecessary stuff ;)

Uhh... trilingual... That's impressive!
I wish I would have been raised at least bilingual; but no luck. My grandfather didn't bother teaching his children Italian, so my mom never learned it.
But I can see that it gets difficult as well when you're surrounded by too many different languages.
It's probably not easy to really perfect them all...

Yeah... all of that yaoi stuff... I don't really have any use for it as well.
What I do like about it is the fact that it's really mostly girls reading those.
'cause in most het hentai manga girls aren't really treated nicely. So it has a kind of dignity that some girls rather watch two boys getting it on – with no girls being mistreated at all. I like the idea of that. That way they don't have to feel bad about it, I guess.

It's kinda funny that Citrus of all yuri manga out there is so popular. There are much better series than that one. But oh well... it helps the cause so I can't really complain. ^^

I think the only reason I still follow WDTFS is that it has adult protagonists.
We see far too few of those. Mostly it's just girls in middle or high school. Which is okay but it gets kinda boring with time...

Don't worry about that! I didn't really take time to think about my name as well... (^_^”)
Kinda regret that by now but in the end it doesn't really matter, I guess...

Oh, so you like Monster as well? That's nice. One of the darkest shows/manga I've seen. Loved it.
What kind of shows or manga (none yuri related) do you like to watch/read?

@ Blackkitty

Why??? (@_@)
Don't you wanna see my eye explode...? (Ç_ç)
he he he... That would be a mess to draw anyway ;)
I like the idea though... ^^

Same here! The first part was okay, the second part really hard and specific.
But 14 is really good, I'd say! So you're not just the frying expert here but also the flower prodigy! (^_-)v

No luck, huh...? Guess that means no NANA revival for the two of us ;)
So your brother is a Leo as well then?
I'm really not good with zodiac signs and astrology but my sister loves it.
Nope, not friends anymore. Life kinda got in between that, I guess. We weren't really able to bridge the distance as time passed...

Good choice of anime I see here (^_^)b
Up to Attack on Titan I know them all.
I didn't really like the first season of Tokyo Ghoul but the second one was great!
I've mentioned 5 Centimeters per Second a few times. Really love it.
As for the rest, I've heard about most of them but never watched 'em.
Boku dake ga inai Machi is on my watch list.
I've read about The Wallflower – preferred Kuragehime. That one was fun to watch. ^^

Of course I like not disturbing music as well ^^
Otherwise I wouldn't like the 80s. They are filled with corny love songs (≧◡≦)

he he ^^
Grumpy Cat is great!

@ Rina

Much appreciated, thanks!
I think I'm about to finish Jessica Jones tonight (if I don't fall asleep before that ^^), the show that OriginalGengar recommended. Maybe I'll try one of these next.
It's been a while since I watched anything yuri related (anime-wise)...

I should stop asking for recommendations already... Can't keep up anymore... Still have those other slasher movies that you mentioned as well...

@ Blackkitty

Yeah, the flowers really do underline his beautiful (dominant) eye... ^^
The rainbow is there for the gayness ;)

Well... life is too short to be modest, right?
If you flatter me any more my eye might pop out (•_¤)

I took the test. It has two parts.
Scored 9 out of 20. Not really good, I'd say...

Born on the same date...? Was that the case in Nana...? Don't remember...
Well... does your name start with a B? And were you born in August?
I actually had a good friend with the exact same birth date, same year even.
I always hoped for a second season. There was enough potential for a continuation... But unfortunately that never happened...
We never talked about your favorite anime, did we....?
We got too caught up talking about yogurt ^^

Nice, Yuki Kajiura and Yoko Kanno are my favorite composers as far as anime soundtracks are concerned.

Congratulations! /(´▽`)/

I'll definitely read it tonight when I have some peace and quiet.

You can be proud of yourself!
Good job! ✌(◕‿-)✌

@ Rina

Well... what can I say... I am pretty “mature“... (ˆ⌣ˆ​)
Call me Onee-sama, if you like (ˆ௰ˆ)
Or Sempai...
Come on, just go ahead and call me old! 'cause that's what you really wanted to say, right...? (☼Д☼)

✌(◕‿-)✌ I'm just kidding! ^^

It's true, I rather like anime with “mature” content. But I occasionally watch other stuff as well.
Even some really silly shows...
But I'm really not up to date with current yuri shows... What would you suggest...?
Is there anything with more than just subtext...?

@ Nezchan

Looks delicious! (ˆ⌣ˆ​)

A pity you can't convert it and send it over to the rest of us! ;)

@ Blackkitty

he he ^^b
I'm glad that you like it! Took me a while to decorate him (^_-)v
I tried to make him look as gay and as hippie-like as possible ;)
I think the hippie part is a little dominant though...
Now he only needs a little peace flag in his hand and in the other a can of Red Bull and it would be really perfect!

Awww... so it's just like me then... I'm a sad little creature but absolutely beautiful to watch ;)
Just kidding. I wish! And I'm too cheerful most of the time.
It's just that it kinda fits the bigger picture. And the first time I heard that song I felt that this was absolutely me.
"But don't you worry, I'll be just fine!“ (◦’ںˉ◦)

Yeah, right? There was a time when you could find all sorts of stupid tests online. Where has it gone??? Boring... A little more creativity and a cool zombie test wouldn't really be a problem...

I just found a flower test...
http://www.theflowerexpert.com/misc/flowers-quiz
Haven't tried it yet.

Hah! I can't believe it! So you like Witch Hunter Robin too???
Cool! It's one of my favorites! Best character development in anime ever! Loved it!
Totally underrated because no one ever seems to know it. But it's soooo good!
The ending song is great as well.

It's a little effort, I admit that, without a beating heart and all, you know... but if you gently peel off the skin around his cute little zombie cheeks, it'll look just the same ^^b
Rosy red cheeks (^_-)v

@ ZuljinRaynor

I'm glad to hear that!
Now you can sleep late on Sunday without having to worry ^^
You get to hear a lot of creepy stories about defect gas pipes over time...

@ Rina

No worries! There's no time limit here ;)

They're all songs from anime I've never seen... (^_^“)

I liked the Overlord and Gatchaman songs. They're pretty good.

Here are some of my favorites:

Wolf's Rain – Amore Amaro

Just too many... Guess I should stop now... (^_^“) Sorry for the overload!!!

@ risingstar3110

Hmmm... I don't like to judge stories I haven't read... generally it's a good thing to have some variety, I guess. I mean different story set-ups and such... But personally it's not to my taste as well.
I need some intense passion and devotion! Must be the Italian in me ^^
So, I'm all for committing to one person even in comics ;)

Shoujo Sect was okay. Since Maya seemed to be perfectly okay with just being the number-two choice...

@ Galich

Busted! ^^

Don't know Julian Tuwim, but maybe I'll give him a try at some point...
Too many recommendations... I can't keep up anymore...

Guess that just means that we have too much time on our hands... (^_^“)

Crap... That song is really hard to get somehow. I mean, you can download it somewhere...
Hope it will at least work for none Europeans...

I've just decided, we have a theme song for this thread! ^^

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-W9VEqgYV8&list=PL3B239DA7DF22525A&index=7
(Hope this link works for you! (^_^“) 'cause it doesn't for me ^^ Kinda hard to come by this song, it seems...)

It's The Bluetones - Down by the Reservoir

@ Faust

You're not really work efficient, huh...? ;)
Welcome to the club! Sounds just like me ^^
I always look for the enjoyment in work related things and don't care about the rest (^_^“)
When I can't do that I get like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9tvY3xGtmQ
(^_-)v

I'm from Germany – born and raised there, never left ^^
I speak German, of course, acceptable English, I think, and a little Spanish and Japanese. Hardly any Italian, unfortunately (I'm part Italian). I'm in my twenties. Past college.

It's good to see more and more yuri titles getting licensed. There are a few here in Germany as well. And it's getting more... But still, when you compare it to the amount of yaoi titles you can find everywhere, it's still just a humble number... Unfortunately. I hope that will change one day.
Most of my favorites aren't licensed sadly... (Not here in Germany at least – would have to check the US..)

Lurking and eavesdropping is absolutely desired in here!
It's mandatory! ;) Especially listening to all the music we post in here! (^_-)b JK!
It would be kinda strange to write in a public thread and then expect people to not read anything you posted ^^
So – and this goes to everyone else in the background as well – it's absolutely okay to just drop in and talk or answer something even if it wasn't directly directed at you. Not rude at all.
More people is more fun!

Here directly on dynasty I follow stuff like Kase-san, Collectors, Tonari no Robot, My Ignorance of a world yet unknown and Bloom into you.

Other yuri series I follow are Their Story, What does the Fox say and Fluttering Feelings (still hope it will continue and wishing Ssamba all the best!).

Apart from that I follow Shingeki no Kyojin.

Looks like you're not the only one scared of thrill rides. I really have trouble finding someone to join me... Guess I'll have to do that alone after all... T_T

Wall posts, as you call it, are nothing special here ^^
We see them more often.... mostly me and Galich, I guess.
(I even told someone on here that I'm not really that talkative... Boy, was I wrong...) (‾.‾”)

What about you? Where do you live?

(Don't worry! I remember you clearly! (◦’ںˉ◦)
And Goethe wrote Faust – I totally read your post to Blackkitty – I'm rude) ;)

@ Galich

I was always kinda interested in the 20s – the golden twenties, as they say.
The only period in the first half of the 20th century that I would have liked to experience myself.
A lot of interesting things happened back then, creative and art wise.
Before and after was basically just war.

Can't say that I knew the first two but I definitely know the last one ^^
Is that song in any way related to your lifestyle...? ... Do we have a player here...? (¬‿¬)
Well... that Jan Kiepura song is really not my cup of tea but I honestly enjoyed Hanka Ordonówna.
Thanks for sharing!

@ Blackkitty

Oh my, it wasn't my intention to bestow a sleepless night on you... ◔̯◔ Sorry 'bout that! ^^
And don't worry, it's a good song. But I gotta admit, I never really listened to the lyrics before... (õ_ó)
I was thinking about using this one too:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL5MrXqWT1I

I'm a little hippie, when it comes to that ^^
I really like the idea of all kinds of people living together peacefully, no matter their religion, skin color, race or sexual orientation.

To tell you the truth – I really think that test was crap! ;)
I wish I could have found a better one...
But I tried to answer in regard to myself. Seeing those stupid questions your first impulse really is to answer based on your knowledge but I refrained from doing so. Thus I totally failed to be a zombie... I can't do anything right!!! (ಥ﹏ಥ)
First I failed at life and now I can't even manage to be a proper undead!!! (V_v)
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??? Seriously! (Q_Q)
(>‿◠)✌

My zombie needs a floral wreath around his head, then I'm good. ;)
Nice little, emotional hippie zombie with a real thing for candied brains ^^b

Oh, come on! That song is absolutely great if you wanna feel really disturbed for a while ^^
I like disturbing things in art – just not in real life...

@ risingstar3110

Huh... to tell you the truth, I never thought about that before...
Guess that means that lesbians are faithful and devoted to only one person – even in drawings (◦’ںˉ◦)
Here's the tag:
http://dynasty-scans.com/tags/polyamory?page=2&view=chapters
Don't know about the content though... apart from the one you mentioned I haven't read any of them.

… so... you're not satisfied with just two girls, huh...?
Need more...? (¬‿¬)
You're insatiable... ^^

@ Galich

Well... paying attention to the lyrics, I guess, you can hear that there was at least a bit of weed involved ^^ So the 70s are there ;)
Both songs are even on the same record (called „The Original Soundtrack“)! So that is indeed some variety...

Polish music from the 30s...? How did you come up with that ^^
Anything worth sharing...?

What did you work on that was so pointless?

@ ZuljinRaynor

That sounds kinda dangerous... gas... leaking... not a good combination... good reason to stay awake.
(^_^“)

@ Galich

Good choice! Fits my laid-back Saturday theme ^^
I'm more of a 60s and 80s person but every era has some jewels...
Thanks!

Never mind that! ;)
So you didn't really sleep again last night...?

@ oliver

Thank you too! (ᵔᴥᵔ)
You guys are starting to make me blush if you go on like that (≧◡≦)

(◦’ںˉ◦)
What do you mean by that...?
Just admit it, you want some cotton candy too! (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ Ө

@ ZuljinRaynor

Never heard that one before but you're right, they go very well together.

Sucks! But I guess it's better to have a working air conditioner than a broken one in the middle of summer... ('-')

@ ZuljinRaynor

Well... now that you mention it... true ^^“
But it's a very subtle mix.
I do know this one very well:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx0ARwLRnWI
Not so big a difference...

It was kinda a summer hit here in Germany back then.
