starlessn1ght

Hello, dear Fuwans. You can clearly tell from the title what this is about. This is due to some 'circumstances' IRL. Let me explain the situation:
 
If I had to summarize it in one phrase, it would be: "starlessn1ght" needs to study more". 
 
If you think I'm troubled and have to study because I won't pass or something... You're wrong. Actually, I am currently the top student of the class, and this situation has been persistent since May. I got the highest score of the whole school of all time. (There was a girl in 2nd year who did the same score, but nobody went beyond that). But... Something has been happening lately.
 
There's this transferred guy in my class who got really bad scores (REALLY REALLY bad). However, fearing he might repeat the year, he has been studying more (A LOT MORE). And his studies have been successful. His scores raised by 377 per cent  (that's A LOT!). The thing is... He has a goal. His goal is not to get a perfect score or anything. His goal is to surpass me. He told me that he always reaches his goals. And I'm really frightened. Why? , you're probably asking yourself. True, in the beginning of the year I always got 2nd place, until May. What's the problem with the same thing happening again? Why you don't let the guy save himself and reach his goal?
 
I don't have anything against this guy and I don't want him to go bad. But I think he is doing something that will harm me. He is good at sports (I am not), he has good social abilities (I don't even know if I have social abilities!), he is also good with girls... I'm not good in any of that stuff! The only thing I'm quite good of (getting good grades), he is trying to steal from me. Not only he is trying that, but I've been noticing a lot of my classmates asking me about my scores (some who didn't even talk to me), trying to guess my grades, and other girl explicitly stated that she wanted to surpass me. 
 
This is not about pride or anything. I don't think I'm more intelligent than others. Everyone is good in different things (I just have a more concentrated intelligence in the areas the school evaluates). The thing is, I myself am being put in the middle of other people's personal goals and competitions. I didn't ask for that. I would be totally okay if that guy had as a goal to have the perfect score. But his goal is to surpass me. And if he does? It will be a humiliation for me, a disgrace.
 
People are trying to put me 'under' them. They want me to be inferior. They want to crush me as if it's something personal, like someone who is seeking revenge. And I am frightened. I don't want that to happen, and I'll try my best not to let that happen. Thus, I need to make some sacrifices. This is why I no longer will visit Fuwa during this time (until late November). I have to dedicate my time to studies. 
 
Please, don't come with any of that bullshit: "Oh, you don't need to be always 1st place; let others do it as well" I'm not asking for advices; I just want you guys to understand my situation. 
 
With this being said, bye. I'm going now.

More focus on Komari is definitely a good thing! Looking through the photo-album was great. (I've also decided I would pay a fairly large amount of money for a Koma-chan plushie... I know they did a range of them too ;_
 
I'm kinda disappointed that they have only left 4 episodes for autumn and winter as the scenery that they use (particularly for autumn) is absolutely stunning :/
 
Semi-unrelated Komari being adorable.

I loved last episode, specially cuz Komari got more focus. And all those lolis... Aw... Komari is already a loli but her lolier version was so cute :3 Next ep, though, won't feature autumn yet. I guess they'll leave the 4 last eps for fall and winter.

Wait until you read Yukidoh route and find out you can start grinding endings.

I think either Fortissimo, If My Heart Had Wings or Princess Evangile.
 
Reasons;
 
Fortissimo
1) The OST is epic.
2) The characters are pretty cool.
3) The story is good despite it being rip-off Fate/Stay Night.
4) The art looks amazing.
5) Amamiya
 
Kono Oozora ni, Tsubasa wo Hirogete
1) OST is really calming and great.
2) The story is not unbelievable-like.
3) The art also looks amazing, especially the backgrounds.
4) I simply, like sky, a lot.
5) Amane
 
Princess Evangile
1) Art looks nice
2) I was really interested about what will happen next, each episode
3) Some of the OST is really good
4) Ayaka

I don't care since I will just skip the hell out of them if there is any anyway.
And I will get the all-ages version if possible, because it can save me some bucks.

If this is an art project and not a marketing project, isn't the important part your artwork?
 
If the main focus is the marketing aspect, that's something completely different.

for example you can create a logo like "this product will leave your clothes or teeth more shiny than the sirius star (which is the brightest star)" and you can use some picture like this one



I suck at this things but that should give you a lead of what to do

Em Portugal vocês usam maioritariamente? Interessante... Aqui usamos "majoritavelmente".
 
 
 
EH?! Eu nunca ouvi falar de loiça, oiro, ou tesoiro. Pensei que isso fosse apenas no português arcaico. Mas de qualquer forma, você ainda escreve de forma muito bela. Acho que receberia nota máxima em redação se escrevesse como você...

Oi, sou do Rio. Carioca que odeia samba, carnaval, futebol, cerveja e gente XD
 
Ps: não faço encontros offline

Quer isto portanto dizer que não é, de facto, o caso?
Posso-lhe garantir que o meu pai jamais fez algo que me levasse a pensar o contrário.
 
 
Embora eu compreenda o quão pouco usual utilizar Português na internet seja, nunca na vida deixaria passar tão bela oportunidade de melhor demonstrar a minha peculiar forma de falar. (Assim como um gratuito extra: os meus erros the ortografria e estrutura de frase)
 
Tal como muitos outros já relataram, é-me também mais usual utilizar to Inglês quando num ambiente fora do trabalho. Mesmo assim, e por muito que eu muito louve o Inglês, a minha língua materna é uma que eu também muito aprecio. As varias expressões e coloqualismos que eu por vezes oiço são do melhor.
Adoro o Português, indubitavelmente.

Eu fiz "Funkids" aos três anos, depois, mudei pra Wizard aos 4. Tenho colegas que fizeram inglês junto comigo, mas o nível deles nunca ficou muito bom não... Consegui aprender mais porque vivia ouvindo música na Internet, e procurando a tradução; também comprei a coleção "Magic English" da Disney. Acabou que em certo ponto, eu 'pulei' um nível acima dos meus colegas, e aí terminei o curso mais cedo. Enquanto eles fazem até hoje e provavelmente vão continuar por mais um tempo, eu já terminei ano passado. Mas o curso não dá muita ênfase em gramática, esse é o problema. Por isso ainda cometo muitos erros gramaticais.
 
 
 
Não me arrependo de ter me esforçado pra aprender o idioma. Principalmente por causa da Internet: o tanto de informação que há em inglês é gigantesco comparado ao que tem em português. Além do mais, se eu não tivesse aprendido inglês não poderia ter lido algumas VNs de que gosto tanto...

Usar Português na internet faz me muita confusão, sempre irei preferir o Inglês pois até tenho maior facilidade em pensar em Inglês devido a dar-lhe maior uso que o próprio português.
 
Portanto prevejo que vá manter-me mais é a escrever o Inglês.

Oh, não esperava ver um tópico assim.
Tou meio inativo, mas abro o fórum às vezes.
 
Me sinto mais confortável escrevendo português, pois nunca tenho certeza se o que eu escrevo em inglês faz sentido. Culpa minha que nunca me importei em aprender gramática, e apenas uso inglês para ler na internet.

É porque o estereótipo do português de Portugal é um homem com bigode que só liga a futebol e passa o tempo todo no café a beber cerveja e a comer tremoços.
 
 
 
 
Sim, eu também costumo usar maioritariamente inglês, quer seja como língua num site (redes sociais, forums, etc...) ou língua do computador. A maioria das vezes que falo português é com amigos próximos, família ou para a faculdade, porque de resto faço e penso tudo em Inglês quase. Escrever em português na Internet é esquisito, porque para além de um amigo meu e um forum que frequento, nunca utilizo a minha língua materna na Internet, sem ser para a faculdade.

Haha. Varios anos de semi-isolação só usando português pra trabalhar me deixaram ruim com a lingua. Meu vocabulario formal é decente por necessidade (a quantidade de cartas que eu tenho que escrever... Ugh), mas eu me encontro pensando em EN/JP muito mais do que em portugês- nesse momento eu to traduzindo eu que estou pensando ao invés de pensar em português- isso deixa a experiencia extremamente esquisita pra mim, especialmente quando eu percebo que é a minha lingua nativa. 

Embora seja português na gosto de bacalhau... nem cerveja, nem de ver futebol.
...
Isto de falar português aqui é deveras esquisito.

Bacalhau com batata!

Just put SAO and boku no pico on everything I guess?
 
A bit more serious, I always found recommendation lists flawed just because different individuals have different interpretations of what they want and so it's pretty much impossible to have an effective master recommendation list because everyone's different.

Very rarely have I been as disappointed as I was upon opening this thread.
Apparently, one of my favourite characters is not as loved as I'd hoped.
 
(Then again, this is a solidbatman thread, what did I expect out of a Little Busters! character?)

Rather than it having been announced for a while, I don't think it's bad. This and Non non Biyori are favorite moe shows for me but yeah the plot is pointless.... it's just there to soathe your heart with the moe.
