Hi , y'all hope you are doing well and good .

So .. do y'all remember the day you started and completed your favourite show that changed your perspective on life a little. Most people don't

But I am weird. So I wanna say that today Aug 19 was the day I completed Gintama, to be accurate it was Aug 19 2023 ( Saturday) .

I remember it was a school festival and I bunked my school that day partially because I was not interested in that and partially, I wanted to watch Gintama the Final. And oh boy did I cry and was mood off for the whole week

I cried like a baby when Takasugi said " Don't go look like a goddamn fool when I die. My left eye is still stuck with your gloomy face of that day , so don't cry when I close my right eye, smile "

Gin X Takasugi is one of my top 3 dynamics and friendship dynamics

The only downside and a major one of that movie was that Zura didn't get to meet Shoyou sensei and tbh I felt like Shoyou speaking to Zura through screen felt like just a namesake tribute ( Guess my boy was on Standby )

" Shoyou, I always wanted to show you . I run an odd jobs with these guys "

" I see it clearly, Yoruzuya, Gin san right? "

One of my most favourite peaks in fiction

I laughed and I cried but in the end I feel that why didn't I watch this sooner? But at the same time Why did I watch this sooner and not years later ??

Thank you, Gorilla sensei , you'll be always my favourite mangaka even though you are a Gorilla

Speaking of Gorilla, It's been damn three years and I still haven't gotten or seen Gorilla's ( Sorachi's ) picture, He is more anonymous than Akutami sensei it seems

But sensei, C'mon don't worry show us your face , we won't judge you, we know you are a Gorilla as most of us are ( pun intended)

Better shows your face , you Gorilla konoyaro

Sorry if this post sounds stupid, I just want to reminiscent on one of my good times.

Hope to hear your Kintama stories as well

Thank you so much for reading

Hi y'all hope you are doing well

This is a question I have been wondering, does japanese people hate beard? Is it not socially acceptable?

Almost every japanese I see I media and few irl are clean shaved

Even in animanga most of the characters are beardless

So is it a cultural thing?

As someone with a lot of beard , would I be discriminated and look down upon if I were to visit japan?

Arigato everyone

Hi y'all hope you are doing well

In beginning of S2 , Tobe asks our trio to help him to confess to Ebina and Ebina doesn't want to accept it as things would change but doesn't want to say it on the face to Tobe because it still would change things and there will a constant heat in the group ( You can never be hanky panky with someone who rejected you)

And I understand Yui's and Yukinon 's perspective on this. But I don't understand why Hachiman did the confession to help Hayama , Tobe and Ebina just for a request.

You see when a request is being made , we can only help or assist him but to change the outcome and face consequences of the outcome should be on the requester .

I know Hachiman is a hypocrite and explicitly accepted at the end of the episode

I know he thinks nobody cares or notices when he shows his Martyr complex.

I'd have understood his decision if he did it for Yukinon, Yui , Hiratsuka Sensei or even Totsuka ( not joking)

But Hachiman despises what Hayama loves and he doesn't even care about Hayama's group then why ??

But the one I really feel bad for is Tobe, they kept him in a illusion of " right now" and change could happen in future , for their own wishes

If I understood something wrong, correct me

Thank you

Assalamualaikum May Allah bless you

First of all, don't laugh and don't comment " It's all in the mind "

So I have a very severe case of ranidaphobia ( fear of toads and frogs ) since as far as I remember

If I see them ( both irl and digital) I feel nauseous, if it jumps omg , my heart races , I trembling and my left wrist twitches in panic

And if it stays around for more than 5 minutes or so I feel very dizzy and I can't for sure eat my next meal ( because my mind specially recalls disgusting things in the following meal )

If one thing I hate with every cell of my body is it is frog ( Wallahi, I despise them so much)

So my question is, is it haraam to fear , tremble because of frogs and toads and is it a sin to despise it ? ( as it's a creature of Allah)

I'm sorry if this feels stupid

Konichiwa y'all hope you are doing well and good So is calling someone a Gorilla in Japan considered offensive like in the west ? Some anime casually throws out throws the word Gorilla and sometimes the character look japanese/ white .

Heck even one of my most favourite mangaka uses Gorilla as his pen name/ nick name

So what is it actually?

I have a prediction to make.

Lately, I've been wondering what is the central theme of the seer pathway.

I thought it was fate . But Zaratul said it is the domain of the Monster pathway

Next I thought it was mysticism but instantly remembered a long forgotten pathway named Mystery Pryer , so no

Then I thought it was spirit world and revival , Mr. Azik cough cough, so no ( Although I wonder how grey fog got the authority of revival when it's related to Death and Black Emperor pathways )

At last I think it's central theme is deception or " Fooling "

Now this also clashes with the Marauder pathway. But if you think deeply about it stealing or laundering is the main theme . Deception is just a means for stealing ( which makes it as one of the neighbouring pathway)

Now I'll explain this theme with every seer sequence till sequence 5 ( Puppeteer) because that's how much info I have till now

Seer: Seers divine things and know future ( sometimes danger ) and alter with their means . To an ordinary person this looks like they are deceiving their fate

Clown: The acting process is control your emotions and expressions and deceive others by keeping a facade and make them believe your "shown emotions" as the " real emotions "

I mean look at Gehrman Sparrow ( and how many times he controls his expressions from lampooning)

Magician: Most of the acting principles is deceiving the " audience" by your tricks and performance and receive the feedback on your deception

That's what magician does right , we know it's just a trick and a deception but we can't help but jaw drop when a magician pulls the same card you thought of ( atleast I'll 😂😂). It's about how you trick ( deceive) them

Faceless: Coolest sequence 6, Impersonation is the deception of Identity. It's just a upgraded version of Clown and magician.

You have to deceive others by your Identity and personality without deceiving yourself ( the acting principles are hard asf ) that the other person doesn't seem to notice a difference on your Impersonation ( Klein's been doing this since chapter 1. So bro was faceless before becoming faceless)

Marionattist: The second or third best sequence 5 ( Rosago is just a bum fraud ).

I don't know the actual acting principles. But look at Mr. World , Klein decives The Tarot club by making world as a " separate individual" and has his " own individuality" . But it's deceiving of Identity and authenticity ( I know this is kinda weak and needs more info but I think it's worth a note )

Seer pathway is the " Circus " pathway. Although we know the tricks are not real , they still managed to get our praises and "feedback" on the effort to deceiving us.

If deception is the core theme , then why can't Klein deceive himself into believing money is just a piece of paper and it ain't all powerful just like divination isn't all powerful 😂😂

Just kidding 😂

Am I getting it ??

Sorry if this offends you, I don't intend to hurt anyone

So.... Do you think Sorachi calling Kondo as Gorilla is a bit " racist" . ?

Or the Gorilla was represented by his characteristics and behaviour

I know Sorachi , he addresses himself as Gorilla

Do Japanese people have any racial connotation to any specific animal ?

Once again I apologise if I offended you

Why can't Klein see the members of the Tarot club. I understand he uses the fog to conceal it from each other but can't he see them atleast during private transactions?

Hi , hope y'all are doing well and good

So my mother has set me up the Gpay pocket money option linking her bank a/c and the minimum pocket money is 1000 rupees. So she created this for my accessibility in college on 20th June , it resets on every month. The problem is I have had a balance of 78 rupees before 20 this month. But when I opened Gpay today, it showed the balance of 1000 for this month. What happened to the 78 rupees? Is it included in the new 1000 ?

So , hope you are doing well

I have always hated or dislike to say the least my appearance and hitting gym is also not possible because I have other issues

And I always feel like I I am worthless and there's no point in me existing with the blessings ( quite wealthy, great parents, few friends) . I genuinely believe if the blessings I have was given to someone who is less fortunate or someone who fails get through a day , I bet they would be much more worthy of it.

Sometimes like If I'm having moderately costly meal or get a nice watch . My stupid brain says "there are people, CHILDREN wander around the street doing everything they could to fill their belly and get to live another day and here you are getting a watch". I genuinely believe once my parents fortunes are transferred to me , I will give atleast 25 or 30 percent to needy inorder to shut my OCD and prove that I'm not a spoiled brat

I also work part-time and earn, so I kinda am getting the hustle . But I have been kinda slacking off bcoz of my parents support and their fortune ( they didn't spoil me and is strict but they didn't let me know the struggles and being individual)

Although I have had people like teachers , colleagues, friends say I am pretty smart and think differently.

I don't think that's true as they deem and even if that is true , I don't wanna be " smart " , I don't want to " think outside of the box" , I don't " want to be a deep thinker and question norms"

Like what is the meaning of being " smart " if you are not satisfied with yourself

What is the meaning of " thinking outside of the box" if you prepare three steps protection for the worst case scenario and still kinda fail

What is the point of " thinking deeply and questioning norms " If I'm never going to get a satisfying answer and considered a boring type for asking too many questions

And before you say to me " there are things you don't and could not know answer " . Yes I know that but if I'm failing to grasp the purpose and manner of things, then what good is having a brain ( I know pretentious but hey )

After years of having OCD . I have come to the conclusion that my brain could take" yes this is there because of this or not, this doesn't work there

My brain will literally makes me sleepless if the answer or the theory ends up being could be , may be , could have been, would have been

because this

Atleast a fool doesn't worry about future and try to control it

An utterly idiot wouldn't have the mental energy to build a two step verification before starting new things

I have always seen my existence as a burden but never thought I'd be having sucide thoughts for almost 10 days ( I have always had it for one or two days).

I kinda don't want a have a brain

Although it's very absurd to say this, At this point I'd the brain of the goldfish.

Am I sucidal or OCD is playing with me

I neither wanna live nor want to die

Sorry for making it too long

Any advice would be helpful

Assalamualaikum May Allah bless you

I always know marriage is a highly encouraged Sunnah but not mandatory ( as long as one has restraint)

But this hadith confuses me

Sahih al-Bukhari (5063) and Sahih Muslim (1401)

"Marriage is from my Sunnah. Whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not from me."

Does it mean it is discouraged to not get married?

How rich would you be if you have a penny for every single compulsion you do every single time

Considering my 500 hrs or more of compulsions. I'd be rich as a magistrate lol 🤣

Hi y'all hope you are doing well. So like many of you I watched, no I obsessed over pokemon when I was a pre teen. I still remember how I got introduced to it , how I bought a notebook and pen exclusively for it to note all the pokemon and their attacks and categorise into types. There was ta time where I'd sit before TV with my note and pen like a college student ( I know weird).

So now I am currently 20 and kinda feeling the itch to rewatch from the start gradually. Does anyone start rewatching or first time watched it as an adult? How was/ is your experience? Is it watchable and enjoyable? or we got old ??

Hi , y'all hope you are doing well.

How to effectively deal with pre assumptions negative thinking because of past things

Let me explain, I have this weird memory thing, I'll remember almost every good or bad thing that happens to me with date and year

So what happens is let's say for example I had a huge headache and was constantly on a edge of throwing up on 20th July of 2025 . I fear that the same thing would probably happen if I go out this year 20th July this year

And it doesn't stop there , let's If I watch a movie on Aug 3rd 2023 with a not so good mood even though it is a good movie , I would hesitate or kinda feel icky about watching it again even though it's not a bad film , it's just I had a bad day when I first watched it

This happens with songs , people. Legit I fear talking to some people on some dates because I had an argument and ended with a headache a couple of years ago on certain day

I can't enjoy my playlists, certain anime, joking with friends

I know what you are saying " you idiot ,just because the dates are same doesn't mean the thing repeats itself" I get it I truly do but I feel anxious doing certain things even though it's a child's play

Anyone like me ? ( I hope not, you deserve better)
