Here's where I'll be, in order of how likely I'll keep posting there, when Twitter goes tits up:

@jodiecongirl @SzczWalker The stop and the store were named after Lechmere Square, which is older than both of them.

@PumpkinNMayo I want Jocelyne Allen to translate it, and I feel like I mostly see her on 7S manga, so that's my wish.

@violetheart08 I hate to see a rare shoujo anime adaptation get panned because of such thin evidence. There's having your suspicions, and then there's stating something as if it's truth.

@LassaBeauty94 @laura_a_grace I mean, anything's possible. I just hate seeing a rare shoujo anime roundly savaged and panned over incredibly thin evidence.

As a creator, your biggest enemy is discoverabilty. If you're being pirated, people at least know who you are.

You can put the energy you'd spend stressing about illegal readers into creating the art your audience wants and thanking people for buying it.

I've been watching various anti-piracy discussions over the past 25 years, and the best thing a creator can do is leave the anti-piracy messaging to publishers and industry groups and keep their complaints private.

Their feelings are valid, but it's just largely out of their control, and arguing with semi-feral teenagers on the internet does not lead to happiness.

@rinreadsmanga I read it on your rec, then one of my guy friends read it on my rec and loved it. Your tweet is going to get it an English license at this rate.

@8lankslat3 If you go back a little further, you'll get to when Vinland Saga fans got so mad at Chihayafuru S3 rated higher, they brigaded it so bad, MAL remodeled the score system to keep it from happening again.

@rinreadsmanga There was one day on reddit where I found out that like 80% of the r/anime regulars I talk to were born in 1999 - a year after I graduated high school - and I had to lie down, lol. It's hard to guess someone's age online.

@vixxennoski @masangtaesimp I'd read the hell out of that too.

@renfan235 @LauraNeuzeth You're simply mistaken on this, probably because you're still young and haven't read or watched very much yet. There's no shame in not knowing, but there's really no reason to resist being corrected like you are here.

[Ridley @_Ridley_]

@rinreadsmanga You know what though, if we got a full Yona adaptation from Pierrot when they're done with Bleach TYBW next year? That would be a dream.

Guard Dog was bad, but hand to god, Vampire Dormitory was one of my favorite 2024 anime, and I watched about 100.

Don't let respectability stop you from enjoying exquisite camp that panders to your demo. I was seated for that nonsense every Sunday, and I'd do it again.

Ellie from Lovesick Ellie.

What a delightful gremlin she was.

@marureviere I love big boys. I wish we got more of them in BL.

@rinreadsmanga I bought 50 (digital) volumes this week myself, so no judgment from me.
