^neither is it what they mean with "hand warmers", but well, whatever works works.

I don't understand why people make this kind of story with heavy subject and especially when it involves children. I can understand if it's about child abuse and when it's only use to make feel more empathy with the character going through that. But here it feels like the author is going going to only give use torture porn with children... They have to stop doing that

First and foremost, it's fictional. No real life person of any age was harmed, so the author can do anything and everything. Child abuse as backstory to invoke empathy is ok, but it's not the only possible usage, the author is crafting a story, if they finds a new way to use an element that fits the story, then it goes into the story, that's normal. Moreover there are technical aspects to it: Heavy subjects would be even more heavy when they are inflicted on the weak and naive/innocent characters like children, and there are plot lines that only work if the characters are children...

I believe the readership/audience has the freedom to choose whether to consume a work, while the authors have the total freedom to create whatever story they could think of and could express into a presentable form. If one reader finds a story to be distasteful, then they should drop it and read other stories. It's not like the existence of a weird story would delete the existence or limit the growth of other "good" stories, it's no longer the age where books must be copied by handwritting and only a limited number of people knows how to write. The abundance of and the ease of access to information and works (fiction or otherwise) nowadays are unprecedented in human history, the choices are practically limitless. It makes no sense trying to impose what sort of story an author should or should not create.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_Hinnom_(Gehenna))

The Hebrew Bible describes Gehenna as the place where King Ahaz of Judah sacrificed his children, though

Debate remains as to whether the phrase "cause his children to pass through the fire" referred to a religious ceremony in which the Moloch priest would walk the child between two lanes of fire, or to literal child sacrifice wherein the child is thrown into the fire.

In certain usage, the Christian Bible refers to it as a place where both soul and body could be destroyed in unquenchable fire.

Yikes.

Seems like it's shaping up to be the next Happy Sugar Life, less age gap but even more fked up this time.

^a cinnamon bun softie doing dangerous job and ended up in precarious situations and surrounded by strong and/or powerful women, naturally she's ripe to be shipped with them all. The tag for Nika x Suletta is ready here on dynasty, but I'm kind of surprised that none of the arts made its way here after that stunt Suletta pulled to save Nika.

12/05/23, 07:40 UTC+2, pages of ch105 are also present in ch99.5/vol12 extras. now fixed

Another JunNana dj made me use up my entire stash of insulin. Let's do that again.

Never talk about your plan for your wedding when the battle is still going on. Just don't.

"Fear not, my little Nika, I'm their boss' right hand, those puny terrorist raccoons can't touch you if I tell them not to."

I've just read to the end of the series today. The whole series is very cute and wholesome, but it does not focus on romance or even have explicit romance at all, it's all about friendship (including how friendship functions with the intense feelings for one's idol in the mix) until the end. However there are good shipping material for MC Sakiko and the "yandere" Maaya all around, especially vol 04 and 05, and they end up living together when they are adults, and they hold strong friendship with Chihiro who continues working as an idol and visits the two all the times. One time Maaya confides with Sakiko that she does have [romantic] feelings for Chihiro, but never told Chihiro "because she might not know what to do with it" and keeping the current friendship is more important. Sakiko and Maaya bond together with that sort of feelings for their idol. So I guess it's more Subtext than outright Yuri.

@herenowforever: it's refreshing to see terminologies from Chinese netspace showing up around here :))

^ not necessarily specifically against one group or another, some people just have that sort of disgust/borderline allergic reaction to PDA and/or other people discussing their sex life in public in general, plus exaggeration for impact.

Technically Official. Just like the previous 4koma where Ilia adds some BDSM spice to their blood sucking session.

The poor raccoons from Earth

^^ then the "paper" would prove that handholding is better :))

NTR =))

There was an apparent unequivalent exchange of coochie hooches.

Diana: So you have chosen... death.

Both tags? So which is it? Schrödinger's Lizard? :))

I... I have concern for Bocchi's spine in that position.

wait is her brother named "Fragrance" (Kaoru)?

Yes, and the girl's name is "Flower" (Hana). It makes for some thematic play, kind of "Kaoru might be gone, but the flower is here to take his place, it will give the same fragrance (i.e. love to Lily) all the same, and the fragrance coming from the flower right there with Lily is not fake despite what Hana might say about herself", I guess

The Prince caught his first whiff of yuri, instantly got hooked and shipped his fiancée with her secretary so hard he's willing to spend taxpayers' money to see more (dude's into NTR, evidently), and already got into a fight to defend his OTP from intruders :))

Cut Bob the camper some slack, please.

Aquarium date is a staple of yuri at this point. We've had Bread, Not Lizard and Public Transportation, there's no good reason not to have Aquarium tag on this glorious site.

^ the name is necessary for story-type works (series, oneshot), so it's obligatory field. For images you can just put in whatever, it's not shown once the image is approved anyway, but try being a bit descriptive to invite the reviewer.

As for author/artist name, it's best to put in romaji for Japanese names, GTrans can help with that most of the times, Chinese names are more tricky so I usually copy it wholesale and leave it the reviewer's discretion. Pixiv usually contains links to the artist's other social network pages, you can also garner more info there (like how the artist transliterates their name, or what is their preferred penname). Sometimes it's also useful to directly google the name, even in kanji, to search such info. Alternatively, use their username on twitter, if that applies. Including the links to the artist's social network pages in the Artist field really helps. Kind of the same for Scanlator field.

The Link field is for the link to image that you want to request upload, like the link to twitter thread/tumblr post/pixiv post/etc that contains the image, though in the case of pixiv albums, it's better to put the link to album plus an indication to which picture you want instead of direct link to that image, since I find that link doesn't always work when I copy it into a new tab. Check the link in a new tab before submitting.
