it's time to end this conversation. when things devolve to personal insults it's time to stop.

if it continues we will have to step in. if you insult forum members, i will ban you and delete your posts. thanks.

I am not entirely certain on which conversation is being banned.

There are two conversations that were ended. First, the conversation of trans interpretations and the argument(s) that followed. Second, the conversation on language, semantics, prescriptivism, etc. There is no issue with either of these topics in isolation. An issue arises when those involved choose not to engage with grace and good faith. At this point, the conversation ends. Full stop.

I understand and appreciate the effort to keep things civil, but in effort to respect the artist and their efforts I think it unfair to censor their works and discussion of it, in context, because of some bad actors and or out of context interpretation.

None of Arai Sumiko's content has been removed.

And if we're censoring identity comments, then wlftchtr82 comment should probably be removed as well.

No posts have been removed at this time. I have no problem with wlftchtr82's comment. It is innocuous to me.

Edit 2: Edited out some for clarity. runrin has a lot more faith than I do, so everything she posted after this holds just fine for me. Be safe.

How to use:

Create a bookmark, but where you would normally put a URL, instead put the "formatting-stripped bookmarklet URL" from one of the bookmarklets below. Then, while on any page of any chapter on Dynasty, click the bookmark. Instead of navigating to a page, your browser will run the code you copied into the URL field.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me on the Dynasty Discord server.

Dynasty Scans Preload + Long Strip (Bookmarklet)

Last updated: August 12th, 2023

About:

This bookmarklet replaces the single page shown in the reader with a vertical scroll of every page in the chapter. It can be used to preload a chapter's pages, stitch together long strips, or just read any chapter in a vertical-scroll format. Two slightly different versions and their respective advantages are listed below.

Sequential version:

This version waits for each page to finish loading before it begins loading the next one. It takes more time to reach a fully-loaded chapter, but ensures that if you start reading while the chapter is still loading, you won't accidentally skip not-yet-loaded pages.

Nicely formatted code: Hosted on Pastebin

Formatting-stripped bookmarklet URL:

javascript:(async()=>{let%20imageDiv=document.querySelector("#image");let%20linksDiv=imageDiv.appendChild(document.createElement("div"));linksDiv.appendChild(document.querySelector("#image>.pages-list>#prev_link"));linksDiv.appendChild(document.createTextNode("\xa0".repeat(40)));linksDiv.appendChild(document.querySelector("#image>.pages-list>#next_link"));let%20pagesDiv=imageDiv.appendChild(document.createElement("div"));let%20numLoaded=0;let%20numLoadedDiv=imageDiv.appendChild(document.createElement("div"));numLoadedDiv.textContent=`Loaded%200/${pages.length}`;let%20topButton=imageDiv.appendChild(document.createElement("div")).appendChild(document.createElement("button"));topButton.textContent="Scroll%20to%20Top";topButton.onclick=()=>{window.scrollTo({top:0,behavior:"smooth"});};for(const%20node%20of%20document.querySelectorAll("#image>.pages-list,#image>.left,#image>.right,#image>img")){node.parentNode.removeChild(node);}for(const%20page%20of%20pages){let%20newImg=document.createElement("img");let%20imgDone=new%20Promise((resolve)=>{newImg.onload=newImg.onerror=resolve;});newImg.alt=page.name;newImg.src=page.image;pagesDiv.appendChild(document.createElement("div")).appendChild(newImg);await%20imgDone;numLoadedDiv.textContent=`Loaded%20${++numLoaded}/${pages.length}`;}})()

Parallel version:

This version immediately begins loading every page. It takes less time to reach a fully-loaded chapter, but if you start reading while the chapter is still loading, you may accidentally skip not-yet-loaded pages.

Nicely formatted code: Hosted on Pastebin

Formatting-stripped bookmarklet URL:

Dynasty Scans Preload (Bookmarklet)

Last updated: January 27th, 2024

About:

This bookmarklet preloads a chapter's pages without changing the format of the reader. Pages are preloaded as a near-transparent row of one-pixel images so that they're technically visible (to minimize the chances of your browser unloading them) while still being essentially invisible. Two slightly different versions and their respective advantages are listed below.

Sequential version:

This version waits for each page to finish preloading before it begins preloading the next one. It takes more time to reach a fully-preloaded chapter, but if you start reading while the chapter is still preloading, you're less likely to encounter not-yet-preloaded pages.

Nicely formatted code: Hosted on Pastebin

Formatting-stripped bookmarklet URL:

javascript:(async()=>{let%20pagesDiv=document.createElement("div");pagesDiv.style.lineHeight="1px";pagesDiv.style.opacity="0.01";document.querySelector("#image").prepend(pagesDiv);for(const%20page%20of%20pages){let%20newImg=document.createElement("img");let%20imgDone=new%20Promise((resolve)=>{newImg.onload=newImg.onerror=resolve;});newImg.style.width=newImg.style.height="1px";newImg.style.verticalAlign="bottom";newImg.src=page.image;pagesDiv.appendChild(newImg);await%20imgDone;}})()

Dynasty Tagifier
Last updated: September 17, 2020

Features

Forum Tagger

Forum Tagger scans forum posts and image comments looking for Tag objects, checks if the tags are valid, and, if so, turns them into clickable links to each tag's page. (If you have the script installed, this Yuri tag should be linked.)
(For the nerds, it does this dynamically pulling and parsing Dynasty's JSON and then scanning all <code> elements.)

Tag Suggestions Switcher (TSS)

TSS puts a controller bar on the tag suggestions status page (link requires account) so users can select the type of tag suggestions (Approved, Rejected, or Pending) the page displays, whether a single type, a mixture, or all of them.

Forum Stats Number Shortener (FSNS)

FSNS converts the stats numbers on the Forum navigation pages for views and posts to automatically shorten, round anything over 1000 and insert the appropriate abbreviation ("K" or "M") after the shortened number.

Dynasty Gallery Viewer

This is a userscript that allows you to browse images on this site much more easily using a modal image viewer with next/previous buttons, similar to Instagram et al.

---

Dynasty Mark Read

This is a userscript that greys out chapters marked as Read when viewing chapter lists.

---

Dynasty Tag Hider

Allows you to hide tags that you choose, preventing them from being displayed on all chapter listings. Some tags can be rather spoilery in nature so this helps with avoiding that. Currently only tags that appear on the Tags page can be hidden (i.e. not doujins or pairings). This functionality may be added in the future.

This is not a tag blacklister. It only hides tags from being shown in the tag list of a chapter or series.

Dynasty Loading Progress

Last updated: February 5th, 2021

Adds a (real) progress bar to the Loading indicator in the reader.

May not work in Private/Incognito mode, because it depends on normal browser caching to detect the loading state.

Dynasty Chapter Comments

Last updated: February 5th, 2021

Show forum posts corresponding to a specific series chapter directly on the chapter page, comments style.

Since Dynasty does not actually associate series discussion posts with individual chapters, the userscript estimates this by comparing their timestamps. This means that posts discussing earlier chapters, or the series in general, may show up if they were made after the chapter was added. Also, chapters that were added to Dynasty in batch will only show comments when viewing the last chapter in the batch.

New version of this thread found here. If you've got this one bookmarked, please update that! :)

This is a thread for those of you who are looking for the name of a manga you can't find. Feel free to describe as much of the plot, it's characters and scenes as you can, so that other users can help you find it.

To start off with. There's a rich girl whop gets punched at the end (by the student council president, possibly), and she brings a tiger to school at some point (maybe she even rides it). It probably isn't yuri.

(Yes, this is the new thread. Previous thread found here. Cheers)

Love this

How about a Partial Color tag?

Not available atm but some form of this tag will be in the next update, yes.

no space posted:

"Well, this could be fun, as long as the age gap isn't too- never mind."

Dynasty desperately needs a tag for stories that go beyond "age gap" to actual pedophilia. You can read what you want, but people should have a reliable way to avoid it

Do you find the School girl + Age gap tagging insufficient for some reason?

It was a nice resolution, but...

But you've now got a strong desire to sing "You've Got A Friend In Me" at Karaoke?

But it feels like it'll end before it goes anywhere. But yes, the karaoke part is correct too. Haven't been before though, hope that's okay.

It was a nice resolution, but...

It seems to me that the “they’re just going to be roommates—there’s no yuri” reading of this ending really is kind of a kneejerk reaction that doesn’t take into account the series as a whole or the various ways the characters have been developed.

This isn’t a couple of “will they or won’t they?” schoolgirls being given an ambiguous ending—Miss Sunflower has been portrayed as an intensely private, indeed repressed, person who previously has had extreme difficulty opening up to the people around her or expressing affection, and her invitation to Matsuri really is the equivalent of an open confession.

Furthermore, while the series has been quite open about its depiction of romantic love (or at least romantic attraction), mostly focusing on the figure of the first Miss Sunflower, it has never come near including any suggestion of physical intimacy of a sexual nature at all (in fact, even a kiss between Matsuri and Miss Sunflower would be totally out of character for the way this series has worked).

It was pointed out to me today that the series never really has the two of them interacting in overtly couple-y ways (holding hands, head pats, bed-sharing, etc.). I can sympathise with that perspective, and I personally would have loved the series even more if it had shown some of those things*. This wouldn't seem too distant from where the series is at already - with its many references (both from characters and the text in general) to the nature of their relationship. But, that's about as far as I would like.

The story was beautiful as it was told, and I'm quite glad there weren't any late attempts to discuss sexuality or have either of them musing about the nature of their feelings. It's disappointing to read folks suggesting the series was about "nothing" or "had no progress", but different readers will look for different content, so I suppose the diversity of opinion makes sense.

*What I really want in hindsight is a final volume end card of them cheerfully talking while lying in bed. Which would have dodged being too overtly physical while still being very cute...

Nnnooo it's over! I cried. It was really nice to see ponytail Matsuri at the end. And the flower girl one last time. And to get her name. The fidgeting after her "proposal" was great, too. Matsuri changed a lot throughout the story. Did Shiori, too? I'm not sure, but it was wonderful nonetheless.

Would be really lovely if a nice person could suggest some of the pairing tags for this! Thank you greatly kind person, if you do.

Nice to see Machida-san keeping the ship strong 88 chapters later. I really like the increased use of wordless parallels in the last few volumes. Probably my fav extra so far, they're always so cute.

Sure. Take care.

I wrote a bit about healthcare models, but then realised that would be incredibly boring for normal people to read. To add a more relevant real world example to protectmomo's position, it is not at all unheard of for private medical practices to provide free or heavily discounted services to those who cannot pay full price. If one can afford to do so, I'm not really sure what argument there would possibly be against that. I'm also not sure how relevant any of that is to the textual analysis that was brought up at the start of this ever-burgeoning conversation, but what can you do.

I'm not saying educated labour doesn't have value. Obviously people who are able to pay her should pay her. But her labour is not worth more than human life. I was really not expecting this much pushback against the idea the idea that lives matter more than money!

First...
Al-kamil is absolutely evil. She kind of has the same ability to Aria, but unlike Aria, she uses her talents for evil purposes.She has absolutely no problem from killing individuals personally as opposed to using her assistants.
Anyway, this is bad, really really bad. Off all the "people" in the group, it looks like Ichika will be "in charge" as Aria looks completely defeated after talking to Al-Kamil. The final dialogue Ichika says to Aria "あなた を 愛してるから 過去も 受け止める" I love you so accept the past. and then the final page is Ichika asking Aria to teach her about everything (教え...), especially the relationship between Aria and Al-Kamil.
There is one extremely important sub plot so go enjoy it when you get your raw, or scanlation.

You've been told not to do this so many times before. Banned for a month. Take care.

I can't help but laugh at how awkward this was to read. "The black skin is disgusting, the white skin is beautiful" this is the type of thing that could only be written in japan

The colorism presented is a pretty serious problem, but like. Did you really type that out without an ounce of awareness?

Uh oh, look like a snowflake entered chat

Please inform me as to my problematic behavior which has offended you so

Sure. You suggested that only Japanese people would publish such colorism. Certainly this is not the place for such a sentiment, regardless of your feelings on the story.

So is translator going to be able to catch back up or will life events cause them to get further and further behind? We're now 10 chapters behind what's been published.

Please refrain from seeking status updates in this manner. The team will get to it when they are able to, and that's that. As rule 4 states:

Do not ask, plead, or beg for more or quicker releases. It may be acceptable to seek an update on a series that appears to be sitting dormant, but always do so respectfully.

Thanks.
