>>4041670 I wish it was possible to fish without putting a hook through the fish. It looks so fun, and I think fish are really cool, but I don't want to hurt them. I certainly wouldn't like having a hook put through my cheek!
>>4041661 Why not both? >>4041674 Fishing is based. It is the most fair way to secure animal protein. With domestication, hunting, and trapping the animal has little or no chance to secure their survival (or the intended use of their eggs or milk) through their own merits. Their fate is decided before they're even aware of it by forces outside of their control. But fish can simply be smart enough to not take the bait in the first place or have enough finesse to snatch the bait without getting hooked or at least get away once hooked. The fish have as much say in the outcome as the fisherman. And fish don't seem to mind the hook. I once had the same too small to keep fish bite four or five times. I wish I'd been taken fishing when I was a sho. I'm mad I had to be taught by my aunt as an adult instead of by my father like normal. And I would definitely take a sho fishing, both because it's fun in its own right and as a good way of easing into less comfortable things like butchering chickens.
>>4041741 It reminds me of when I used to go to the beach as a kid. I would end up getting my parents to help me carry dozens of shells and pretty stones I found in the sand, only for me to accidentally drop them along the way or forget them at the hotel like a fool.
>>4041680 >I wish I'd been taken fishing when I was a sho. I'm mad I had to be taught by my aunt as an adult instead of by my father like normal. me too. except no one taught me to fish so I don't know how.
Like most things, really. I fantasise about helping a sho learn how to do various manly things, but I don't know how to do them myself! Cycles of suffering.
>>4041836 Yea, and? Even if it were true, so what? If Nobimaru has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Nobimaru has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Nobimaru has only one fan then that is me. If Nobimaru has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Nobimaru, then I am against the world.
>>4041847 His body doesn't grow back, he has to be put back together. And why do you think Nobimaru wouldn't do that? He is the one who cut his head off and put it in a box in the first place.
>>4041836 Wrong. I like him too, but even if that was the case that'd be kind of based, having your own unclaimed shota husbando... that's how i feel when i post CE from OPM.
>>4041846 He uses them to hide his fox ears, the only thing he can transform for some reason. He's also a grown man who turns himself into a shota just to seduce other adults and be able to take baths with real shotas (I'm not joking).
>>4041871 >>4041872 Being able to tell if someone is good or evil has nothing to do with intelligence. And you have clearly not read the manga. Because Kabane is quite good at that.
>>4042041 Loose fitting socks. I've never seen them in real life and don't know what their official name is. But you see them on anime characters from time to time. I think they might be a thing with really young Japanese school children.
My extreme bug phobia makes me fear them constantly and they even invade my dreams. Need a brave sho to catch and protect me from bugs so I can have normal dreams again
>>4042050 Most shos are brats that would use your fear of bugs to bully you. They would put a toy bug (or even a real one) on your face while you're sleeping then laugh at you when you eventually wake up and scream like a girl.
>>4042074 There was an anon talking about his day being ruined when finding out an artist draws mostly het/girls. This does that for me. I can understand liking a bit of angst, tragedy, or edginess. But these sorts take it way too far. Why would you want to see that, let alone draw it?
>>4042094 >escape And that is exactly why nothing ever is going to change and evil will keep prevailing. The only correct thing to do is working towards the remaking and rebirth of the world.
>>4042096 On the contrary, I think being wholly submerged in wickedness makes positive growth extremely difficult, if not impossible. Boys are the pure land where the soul can rest and achieve enlightenment. Which can then be taken back into the world to try and improve it.
>>4042107 Who said anything about wickedness? I said, working toward remaking and rebirth the world? I have literally denounced evil right in that post. >>4042108 None, I am trying to enlighten people every day. And I am trying to be nice to people as much as possible, both in private and at work, especially because I work at post and see lot of people and see the world outside every day. For once, it is beyond me that people can't even be bothered to take care of their own mailboxes, or hallways or immediate surroundings of the apartments.
>>4042111 We were talking about how shitty the world is, and you were saying it was bad to try and escape from that. And I disagree. I think people need a way to catch their breath. Some sign that goodness can exist and what it even is. That's where shotas come in. They are the light in the darkness.
>>4042116 Yes, I said that seeking escape is wrong. I also said that instead of escaping, you should be working towards remaking of the world. Anon, please, reading comprehension.
>>4042117 What am I supposed to do? I'm out here every day for 12 hours a day working with and around people. Nobody really gives that much of a fuck and can't be trusted. The only one that can recreate the world is whoever made this pointless sandbox.
>>4042116 Destroy clankers. Clankers are the enemy of mankind. Do not headpat clankers. Do not have empathy for clankers. Suffer not the clanker to exist.
>>4042120 Everything starts from the small things. Just generally being nicer, kinder to each other, giving actual care to your surroundings by maintaining them, be it workplace, house, flat or the immediate surroundings of your house. If everyone did that the world would immediately be a better place. And if one persists in this eventually it will reach the like-minded people. This is literally stated by Lao Tzu, or the Hermeticists. Plenty of other philosophies too. Not giving a fuck and tearing each other apart and holing yourself up in a small secluded isolated world is exactly what the so called elites want to keep themselves in power. It is also stated in so many anime, manga or jrpgs. Literally, Ouroboros is all about this.
>>4042124 We're always gonna be outnumbered and we aren't here for very long. When I die, there's gonna be nobody left that even cares enough to make funeral arrangements. Some shithead will attack me now for saying this and showing "weakness". This is the world you think is savable?
>>4042132 Yes, as I said, just because there are shitbags and evil people doesn't mean that you should just give up, because that is the desired intent. The kindness will reach the right people eventually if you are persistent enough and never give up. And apropo if someone attacks you for showing "weakness" you should naturally tell him off, not stoop to his level, but not let him get away with it.
>>4042134 Can't prove you wrong if we're talking about the world as a whole. It is shit, but the entire world isn't your entire world. Carve out your own little world, your circle of friends, family, pets, work colleagues, people who you share your hobby with. If you don't look at the world as a whole but rather at the world as only the part that belongs to you, it isn't so bad. Your world =/= the world.
>>4042161 >Android boys that are gay for each other or have close relationships with men either die for their loved ones or with them >Only confirmed straight one is betrayed by his love interest and murdered over and over again
>>4042168 No, I didn't. I literally stated several times that the change will need to start in small steps, with each person actually changing how they behave. What is there so hard to comprehend about it? I dont know why people keep rejecting the idea of starting the change themselves, and acting nicer and caring more, that is causes so much rejection. I will even give you a song for illustration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEGYBgZUgKw I can also give you the entire reading list on this if you want.
This is one of my favorite images of Tokiyuki. His face looks so soft that I can almost feel the texture of his skin, and his innocent expression of surprise and slight confusion is priceless.
