>>4039604 I have always struggled a lot with directions, so to me falling asleep on the bus or simply missing my stop was (and still his to be honest) a source of extreme fear because it was guaranteed that I would get lost.
>>4039611 My grandma had a sandbox and we had one at my house too. I know I played in them a ton, but I can't remember much of what I actually made. I do vividly remember finding cat turds though, lol.
You're grown up, you can't and will never be a kid again. Your good old days are long gone, gathered like dust in the past. The older you get, the lonelier and more insecure you become. You no longer have that carefree, innocent look in your eyes, it has changed into a tired and soulless stare. When it’s your birthday, no one remembers, no one gives you a present or sends you wishes; it’s just you all alone celebrating in a dark, cold room. Sometimes in your dreams, you being able to go back in time, to relive and enjoy those days again in a short moment but then when you wake up and still have face the harsh reality. Like it or not, you still have to get over it, pretend to be strong, and keep moving on because you know that time is unforgiving and waits for no one, you have a whole life ahead of you, filled with responsibility and things to worry about
>>4039624 One of my greatest joys is being told that I look and act younger than my actual age. Especially in the latter case, it's not meant as a compliment, but to me, it is the best possible one.
>>4039685 Sorry, I found out that music with vocals is really annoying and gives me headache https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=obOssK0ZndM&list=PLcmWhhM_1pxxdvc1c5558Cy3NcFWKIZNG&index=3&pp=iAQB8AUBsAgC
Although, I'm enjoy listening to nujabes music. Luv sic pt.3 is one of some rare song have vocals that i capable listening to without feeling annoyed https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwv2gnCFDOc&list=PLcmWhhM_1pxxdvc1c5558Cy3NcFWKIZNG&index=20&pp=iAQB8AUBsAgC
since we're sharing music, i've recently found a cool japanese singer/band that i think you guys might appreciate. i'll have to find it, gimme a sec.. ah, here it is. 'CECIL'. i've been liking what i'm hearing of it so far. i like the cover art, too.
>>4039697 I have to admit that a lot of the music that's been posted so far... isn't exactly to my taste, but this is amazing. Thank you, anon! And you're right about the cover art.
I've already posted this in the Vocaloid thread, but since we're already talking music, I might as well share it with you guys, as well: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E2hGqo5yEFQ It's moments like these when I feel like learning French simply because of how wonderful it sounds (and because there seem to be quite a lot of written works in that language relating to the topic of cute males). (I'd first have to get at least decent at Japanese, though...) I hope you will also see the appeal of Len singing in French. Personally, I consider finding that video to be one of the best things to have happened to me this month.
>>4039716 I'm an EOP, so I'm just guessing here. But I think an English speaker could learn French in a fraction of the time it would take to learn Japanese. Cute song, btw. I meant to tell you that in the other thread but I forgot by the time I got home.
>>4039721 Yes, French would definitely be easier with my language background (German, English, and some rudimentary Latin). I was thinking of going about language learning in a linear order, but maybe it wouldn't be so bad to do two at once, especially since one of them will be somewhat familiar to me. Laziness is the main thing weighing me down. I'm glad that you liked the song! It's always a joy to discover hidden gems like that.
>>4039731 Bully sho is banned from receiving any kisses until he apologizes to and kisses the bullied sho. If this is a repeat offense, then he also has to let the bullied sho top him.
>>4039711 He's great, but the writers unfairly cucked him out of whatever role was planned for him when they decided to shill Crow instead.
He still gets his big moment, and it's one of the highlights of 5Ds, but if you're watching dubbed you won't ever see it because they never did the final season where it happens
>>4039829 it's grim knowing that some children out there are going to play with a doll resembling an unfunny fat ugly retard because their parents don't care for their well being.
Shotascholars, what do we think about Impossibly Cute Boys by Karl Andersson? I read his academic paper which got me interested in the book, but I'm concerned about ordering it off Amazon.
>>4039856 Sometime ago an anon shared pdf version of it here, maybe someone has it still. I heard he got his scholarship cancelled and was kicked out of the university were he was working because of the subject he was researching, so you might as well order it you wanna support the guy.
>>4040042 It's a goth/emo thread. But because ryona schizo made it, she couldn't just make a normal thread and instead had to be weird and antagonistic like that. It doesn't help that a certain someone (who is in these threads and knows who he is) emboldened her anti-shota hate in the confessions thread.
>>4039856 I got the book from Amazon and I'm a retardedly slow reader so I haven't finished it yet. But it's a decently fun read and it's interesting seeing why people like shota and the challenges he went through to research it.
>>4040097 While reading it, I was honestly jealous of his interviewees. They got to explain and pour out their love of shos to a weird white man with a "Shota Kenkyukai" booth at Shotafes. It goes to show how much shos mean to me ;_;
>>4039856 >The Healing Power of Shota I quote this in my head all the time now since I've been noticing a lot of shota characters with healing powers. Like Laphicet from Berseria and Edgar from NTE
>>4040139 Those aren't mutually exclusive. Links themselves occupy an archetypal niche that's almost like a more boyish paladin. While they don't use healing magic directly, they are almost always tasked with healing and restoring other people and the world as a whole. And the mother protagonists mentioned above essentially are modern, kid paladins. I would say boys have a pretty strong association with healing. Arguably stronger than girls. They combine the restorative aspects of their youthful vigor and purifying innocence with the strength and will to cure underlying ills.
