The standard of politician is, depressingly, declining here.

It's telling when one of the more popular ones advocates the destruction of the union. Despite her party screaming that Scotland could live off of it's oil. Before oil prices collapsed. Meaning if they won, they would have screwed Scotland.

In my country a party enters a coalition promising to slash tuition fees, and triples them.

Don't vote Clegg people.

But the death scene was a happy one, where we see the culmination of a lifetime of largely happiness. There was no tragedy, only completeness.

Yeah, I really don't get all the depressed comments, I thought it was pretty heart warming.

I always see endings that make others sad as happy ones though. I remember everyone in my humanitarians class crying at the end of 'A Short Stay in Switzerland', and me and my mate being confused as hell that they were sad, because we were happy for her that she finally got her wish.

I know that feeling, a game dependent on consistently keeping something up and then messing up because your doing well.

I've screwed up many an Ironman game for this reason.

Also never manage to break my high score on Heavy Metal Unicorn Attack. Or whatever it's called. It plays Battlefield in the background, it's awesome.

I'm not sad, I merely have an incompatible outlook with the world.

Edit: Also, giving me a Chocolate Cake as referenced in my name would be hilariously awkward.

Of course they had to add the death at the end, remember the first rule of Yuri:
Where there is Yuri and happiness there must also be drama and/or suffering in corresponding amounts.

That one panel with both of the parents giving a thumbs-up was hella cute though.

Crying is healthy, people shouldn't pile up emotions inside

Are you implying I'm mentally unwell in some way?

You would be correct if so.

Also isnt it so much fun not studying till the day before, like i have my exams going on and we get a 2 day break between each subject so, its like yay another day to spend time on forums
hooray

your problem is you care too much for your future. It's far easier when all you aspire to is walking into the woods one day and dying a slow, agonizing but peaceful death like I do. No pressure to try at all for them then.

I love them. Exams mean study leave, study leave means procrastinating whilst your teachers expect you to try for your AS, as opposed to hoping for the best.

I've read enough manga to know the healing properties of tears. Just cry a little and BAM happy end.

I tear up to music all the time, feels good. Usually happens when I wake up or late a night when I'm tired. Probably because my mind isn't too clogged up by the stuff that happens in a day. Mind is more receptive to it.

I've only cried twice since year 7 (a good few years) and both of them were because of my Dad's death. For the most part I like to joke about man tears when listening to something like Demons & Wizards 'Fiddler on the Green', but actually crying is very rare for me. Which is weird, because in Primary school I'd cry constantly. So I don't really know what good crying does for most people. I prefer to tackle sadness as a purely mental exercise.

Probably wrote that a little weird. The other protagonist just has to let a tear fall on her. That always works, resurrection wise..

Gah, of course! totally misunderstood you, sorry.

Tears don't turn it into a happy end, Fanfiction does. Fanfiction is the great healer. Fanfiction brings all good.

No-rae's brother really seems to be plotting something cool.
I think he's already caught on that there's something fishy between No-rae and Seol-a ^^

And as always, thank you Halmoni for the translation !

Hehehe fishy.

I'm sorry.

No no no, when reading you must be ready to combat tragedy at all times.

'What's that? my favourite character died? I think not. This is actually the scene where a rainbow unicorn comes and the play in the fields of ever lasting yuriness and everything is happy and there is no sadness.'

Remember to have some form of Word Processor open so as not to let the tragedy win.

To some other ones. It doesn't have three alphabets, but in general I've only ever been told it is horrible to learn. Too many words that mean too many things, and too many variations depending on geography. A lot of it is easy to work out (colour), but learning Side walk and Pavement for the same thing because two different versions call it two different things is confusing.

Dialects and geographical differences exist in different languages, too. I'm german and there are at least two german dialects I couldn't even hold conversations with. There are no gramatical cases and stuff like that in english. Where english just uses "it", other languages still differentiante into male, female or neutral nouns. Verbs have different forms depending on the pronoun.
There's quite a bit of stuff like that.

Most of those languages tend to make sense when your pronouncing them though. English words just has whatever letters it felt like slapped onto them, and no one bothered regulating that the sounds were generally consistent. (deer, dear vs beer bear).

I'm not saying English is the hardest language in the world, but if we're speaking relative to Korean, it shares few enough similarities that I don't think it's all that simple for them.

Indeed Nez, meanings definitely change with the context.

Well, severity at least. Even here in North America parents worry when their kids come out as gay or trans or decide to be manga authors, since they don't get the benefit of a "normal" life and all the supports that go with that. It's always harder when you're different, but the degree is way different depending where you are.

Becoming a mangaka is the height of normality in England.

We're just better than the rest of the world I guess.

I don't think she know English so well to read this thread but it's just maybe my opinion xD

Why? English is a relatively simple language.

This WAS sarcasm right?

You're not supposed to feel bad just because no one has commented on a work for a while.

Unless you are.

In which case I must have built up much aggressive expansion... I expect a coalition to form soon.

I'm sorry, but how in chapter two did she fall for showing the doctor her boobs?

Well, having now finished it... That was terrible.

Still enjoyed it. Poor Isabella.

The human race dying would in no way immediately cause the destruction of the world.

This is the kind of rare jewels I look for when I read oneshots. And this one gave me feels and tears. Conveying such realism that is quite different from all the (I don't mean to offend anyone's tastes) stupid schoolgirl yuri fluff. A+

BOW DOWN TO STUPID SCHOOLGIRL YURI FLUFF HERETIC!

I told my mom I wanted to marry a girl when I grew up, she said that was cuckoo, it doesn't happen. I did grow up to marry a woman and she didn't go to my wedding. It's alright though, my extended family is supportive.

I told my mom I wanted to live in isolation on a mountain somewhere, because I hate people.

Turns out I AM cuckoo.

A manga about pirates?

I'll be listening to Alestorm for a good while.

Edit: 200 posts and still not banned? I'm going mad with-not-being-banned.

That doesn't work at all...
