Are you following any animanga series right now?

I’m totally in between! I was following a few last cour: Kaguya-sama, Villainess, Bookworm but haven’t picked up new ones since they ended.

I need to catch up on Fruits Basket too, because for some reason I ended up falling off the train although I do love it :(

Do you have any to rec?

Considering all the tier guys in that top list but NMJ are teenagers at the time, and there's none of the hot and/or strong adults that we know of, I just assumed the ranking was made by young/teen ladies in the cultivation world ranking the boy peers. So more than People Magazine, that would've been by Teen People or Seventeen lol

NMJ is only five (5) years older than NHS and is in LXC’s age range so at most 1-2 years older only than LXC..............................he aint that old haha

I have nothing to say so I'm here for SOLidarity

No don’t worry, it was very illuminating!

I know that’s her jam and all, but I wish she had cut the entire sex scenes and left them as bonus chapters, even in the final version, so all the bad yaoi tropes had been optional canon and not like… part of the happy ending? (Also, I want to throw a book on safe words and a ridiculous supply of lube to those two before WWX gets ripped apart. Please, someone in-universe tell them about lube)

Yeah that’s... my friend’s comment too... Somebody pls teach them about lube. 

Overall... I’m still glad there was a canon sex scene in the ending. Look it’s important for me to see that their sex life is satisfactory okay... even if it’s not... standard procedure, at least they’re happy about it. And I mean... it is skipped over in most of the versions due to *dinkleberg face* CENSORSHIP.

Okay so @taotrooper’s everlasting flower fic is going to be the death of me. So, of course, I had to draw Zeno being grounded from dessert.

I haven't watched or read Devilman, but when Crybaby came out I went to Wikipedia to spoil myself since I'm too much of a pussy to watch it but I wanted to understand the memes. After I read the synopsis of the series, ending and all, it all sounded extremely familiar and couldn't put my finger on it. Half an hour or so later, "wait, it's CLAMPish. wait, wasn't this one of the manga they made doujinshi of? wait, all that weird angels/demons art on their artbooks was Devilman fanart?!" (1/2)

(2/2) Then I sat down for 15 more minutes in shock, shower thoughts style, because suddenly I understood EVERYTHING. I had hit the motherload, I had seen the abyss. This was the true origin of Classic CLAMP Era's biggest fetishes concentrated in one series and I can't unsee it anymore. Jesus fucking Christ, I can't believe we have someone to blame and it's the Mazinger Z man from all people.

LOL yes, Devilman is very much the cauldron from which a ton of CLAMP’s delightful bullshit was birthed. angel/demon ships and tragic romances ending in Bad Ends, gender fuckery, apocalypse stuff...everyone points to X/Tokyo Babylon as their Devilman fanfic but imo the real Devilman fanfic is Wish/Drug&Drop.

“...these two secondary characters that are married look EXACTLY like Akira and Ryo. One’s a demon and one’s an angel. And in Drug&Drop they even act exactly the same--”
