Is it weird that even with that great date the one thing I'm most excited about here is Adachi regretting not properly talking with her mom. Nice to see the progress in their relationship is not just one-sided either.

I think my favorite part was Shimamura admonishing Adachi for "cheating on her" with Nagafuji. Hopefully getting a taste of her own medicine will help her grow up a bit, since right now she's in "clingy child" mode and she really needs to get over that.

Also, Nagafuji recognized the boomerang. :D

Nagafuji not only recognized it, but before they even got to that point she immediately knew Adachi was talking about Shimamura, so it's pretty clear she knows what's going on lol

For some reason this story hits me particularly hard in the feels. I feel so rotten about her sister being what she is now.

I'm no expert on trans issues, but my impression is that for the actual process of transition or sex-reassignment surgery the US is pretty good compared to many countries. Expensive, maybe, but without the gatekeeping that e.g. Sweden has had. Having a job or being safe as a trans person may be another matter.

Someone with better knowledge please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm always looking to better myself with correction of incorrect facts, but if I'm not mistaken it's a pretty harsh journey here in the US. You have to be under the care of a psych, you have to have an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria, you have to live as as your real gender for several months to years before being cleared for SRS, and then the SRS is NEVER covered by insurance, so that's a major surgery in the 10s of thousands that has to be paid out of pocket... so.... yeah.....

I actually do plan to move to Canada through the skilled worker route, I have to finish college and university first but I will definitely be leaving as the future of the UK does not look bright at all

Well, I am a disabled adult with no degree, and no hope of ever returning to the workforce, so I have 0 hopes of being able to leave this country unless it's via marriage. And of course, since I am a disabled adult with no degree, plus also, y'know, fat, I am also not very desirable as a partner. The fact that I'm a lesbian pretty much drains out completely an already impossibly small pool of anyone who'd be interested, so, yeah. More or less I am doomed to sit here, alone in my tiny apartment, and wait for death...

Which, with the way the covid is going, plus the continuing erosion of the social programs I'm dependent upon, will probably come sooner rather later, heh. I reckon I've only got a few more years.

Wtf my government (I live in the UK) is debating whether torture should be made illegal or not

Yeah, well, I live in the US and... well, enough said. -_-; Really gotta work on finding me a nice Canadian lady to marry so I can get out of this sh*t hole country. -_-

That's great!!! glad to know you two had fun xP I was lucky enough to watch the series without spoiling myself with THAT and lol I was shocked, and then it was one revelation after another I think I saw the whole anime with this "D:" face... AND THEN Rebellion happened and I was ((((D:))))

I said this on another thread but I would be so happy if they make a movie about Walpurgis Night, the origin and the end.

I too went into it bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and unspoiled, and I too went "DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:" through most of it. And then I watched Rebellion, and that one moment with Kyouko and Sayaka I went "oh my little gay heart", hahahaha

I still get chills every time I hear that Walpurgis laugh, lol

We got as far as finally having Homura's story revealed, so pretty far in, only a couple episodes left. She was just as bothered by Kyouko's "prayer" as I was, heh. (Yes that's right, I'm a 41 year old KyoSaya fangirl, come @ me lol)

My friend finally was able to come to visit and I introduced her to the world of Madoka. I watched her reaction out of the corner of my eye as "that thing" happened with "that one blonde girl" and it was gloooooooorious hahahaha.... and then of course it just keeps going from there.... we weren't able to finish the whole series but now she's all about finishing the rest ASAP

I dont get it?? Is this even considered sex and is it that lewd?? Sb explain this for me

"hand holding" being classified as the ultimate in lewdness is a long-running lesbian gag.

^ I have drawn since the first time I picked up a pencil as a kid. Art used to be my LIFE. Then people started using me, and then going back to bullying me once they got the art part of their school project finished. The last straw was when I took my very first art class in my very first semester of college, and the instructor also teased me and made fun of my sketches, and it killed what little flame had been struggling to stay alive. I still draw sometimes but I am annoyed that my style leans to looking stereotypically "manga-ish", and has always done so, long before I even knew what anime and manga were, lol...

I'm pretty passionate about music. I'm trying to learn guitar and bass. Already know some piano. And I sing. (Nobody really knows about that last thing irl lol.) I'm not good at ANY of them... I can't remember artist names or song titles much at all thanks to my health BS. I struggle to read sheet music or guitar tabs thanks to the health BS. My hands are all kinds of wonky thanks, you guessed it, to my health BS which makes learning instruments harder than it should be.

But it's what makes me happy. Took me a long time to finally figure out someone doesn't have to be a pro or an expert in order to love a thing or hobby, or that they don't have to feel inferior or unworthy. Glad I finally figured it out. :)

She did monologue that she found it embarassing when Adachi kept asking her to confirm it, though that's normal.

She monologued that the whole confession and then subsequent assent to officially date was super embarrassing too. Twice. lol

I'm an old lady and I wasn't into yuri at all at first. I just assumed yuri = shoujo and I am not fan of air-headed female leads and cardboard cutout male protags that plague that genre. (I'm looking at you, Sailor Moon.) Then one day I happened across a yuri work, it was not shoujo-like at ALL, and was like, "hmm okay this is nice" and the rest is history lol....

There was a survey done sometime last year, I seem to recall it was about 50/50. I'm not sure where the thread went, used to be a sticky but it's gone now

She'd found the place where she belonged right between my legs.

Oh my...

When will they literally do this? Lol
I'll leave it to my imagination for now.

Yanno, I thought the same thing when I first read that. Then "oh.... people on Dynasty are going to have Things To Say About That, aren't they?" LOL

Wow, look at all this discussion for this chapter. I knew it would stir up some opinions, it was truly worthy of my Disney Villain QC Cackling, haha
