Sheep

I understand. My mother's side of the family immigrated from Ireland. Although I imagine it must be a bit weird dealing with some of the patriotism? (Like, pledge every morning in schools, fireworks on 4th of July, etc). I saw your thread. I hope the diet works out. I do have an appointment Friday for an eye exam. I have a history of vision issues, ranging from an astigmatism and at one point I had surgery on my left eye. I've been fine in recent years. I'm hoping for the best.

I've been playing animal crossing a bunch again. Mostly because my sister had some DIY recipes for me on her island. I randomly started terraforming again. I have no sense of space management. I made a theme park area, but I ran out of miles and can't buy anymore stuff for it. It's quite a mess.

The booster was painless. I'm not feeling well though. This is the worst reaction I've ever had from a shot. My friends were going to take me to a football game tonight, but I'll be missing it. -sadface- My arm feels battered, and I've been overwhelmingly sleepy.

I love them too particularly HxH, a 10/10 classic for me too! There's so much that I love but my favs are pretty predictable like DB, Code Geass, Air Gear, Cowboy Bebop & Guren Lagann. I also love a lot of newer stuff too like AoT, MHA, JJK, Tokyo Revengers, Demon Slayer & OPM.

I figured you probably didn't celebrate. I was hesitant to send it because my first thought was that it wouldn't make sense in your country. I spent the day after thanksgiving looking at avatar photos. I don't particularly like this one, but I might stick with it for a bit.

I never played the original Diamond/Pearl, but I've noticed it feels like the trainer opponents for lacking in variety. (so many geodudes). I have an Empoleon, Girafarig, Absol, Crobat, Blissey. I randomly traded a togepi and revived another Jirachi. I don't need a second Jirachi, so I'll probably give it away. I beat crasher wake, your definitely ahead of me. I'm slow.

I hope your panic attack situation improved? I haven't felt that great with anxiety either. Oh well. I'm getting my covid booster today.

Yeah that's so true actually! Maybe it was intentional to leave them single since they're probably the most fawned over of each respective gender.
Yeah I really like Naruhina too! She's definitely in contention for best girl, although ofc I do love Tsunade too haha! Slug Princess ??????
What other anime are you most into?

Happy Thanksgiving

It's a bit early on my end but I don't think i'll be logging on tomorrow. With family stuff and everything

Yeah the chibis when they zoom in is a little cringe, but otherwise I like that they chose to go that route! I think my nostalgia for the game is making it hard for me to think about anything I might not like about the game... except honey trees. Ugh. And the way to get spritomb. Both of those things could have been changed.

Boruto has it's moments but it's definitely not as good as Naruto and Shippuden, while I'd personally rank those two 10/10, Boruto would be like a 7 for me, but there have been some arcs I thought were cool! I need to catch up on it too!
What's your take on the Naruto ships?
I wish Kakashi and Tsunade could've found someone, I haven't thought too deeply into who would be good pairings for them tho!

yes, konan and pain/nagato being 2 of the 3, and Yahiko!

yeah I completely understand that I guess I've just always thought Sasuke was always gonna be like this whoever he was with, and the only person I could imagine putting up with him like this, is Sakura as she's always been so hopelessly in love in with him lol. I'd also say Team 7 are probably some of the only characters Sasuke is shown to truly love and care for, and we know Sasuke wants to rebuild the Uchiha clan, Sakura was probably the most logical choice for him at first as he already loves and cares for her. In fact that also kinda works with the fact that shows later he is often absent and not good at reciprocating Sakura's romantic feelings, but it's not that out there to also think as an adult he could of developed romantic feelings for her after seeing her love for and devotion to him. I think Boruto takes that angle too in that he's trying to be more present and better and communicating his feelings towards her & sarada to show that he truly cares for them despite his absence. I think he's honestly presented with some type of Alexithymia or mental disorder which makes it difficult for him to express emotions and understand emotions of others, which isn't too far-fetched with all the trauma he's been through haha.

Love Naruhina too and also wouldn't of been happy to see Naruto paired with Sakura in the end either haha.

Oh my, I saw this post, and had to give you a hug Janna. I hope some nice sheep-themed fan art brightens up the days to come for you. Such a caring soul like yourself doesn't deserve the stress you described enduring.

Thanks Sheep. A lot has changed since I was last here. I'm used to there being a general thread. :P I went ahead and posted a thread. ??????

Oh sorry, I shouldn't assume anyone is a naruto lore professor like me lol

Amegakure is the hidden rain village, where Pain, Konan etc. are from! Where the akatsuki hid and where Jiraiya.....well you know!

I actually totally agree with the canon ships, I understand people being upset their headcanons didn't come to fruition, but imo the canon ships definitely make the most sense.
Kishi even acknowledged Narusaku by pairing Saruda & Boruto, not many series do something like that haha.
Naruhina & Sasusaku make far more sense than any other pairing for them, so makes sense that they're the canon ships to me!
Ofc people can ship and headcanon w/e they want lol, I just feel any discourse on the canon pairings is kinda unjustified.

Hi, where do I post questions for BDSP?

oh no that sucks! Yeah I've heard of archiveofourown being the new go to place for it!
Yeah I totally agree Deidara is a good pick for that too, ironically Konan would've been a good choice to keep alive imo, but she was killed by Obito in the scene my avatar is from haha.
In terms of benefiting the shinobi world too, I think it's even touched on in Boruto, how Amegakure is left kinda broken and leaderless after they're all killed off (don't quote me on that tho, just vaguely heard something, still massively behind on Boruto). But I think Konan would've been great to lead Ame into the post war shinobi world.
Both Konan and Deidara have really cool and unique jutsu too!

Yes! I got it right away and played all day yesterday and all day today so far! lol! I think I'm a little over half done. Are you playing?

I think I already sent you a rq there actually when I saw the link in your sig! I'm JVskunkape on there and on twitter!

I don't really remember quizilla but I do remember fanfiction.net haha, still going too I believe, I haven't read any fanfiction in years tho haha.
Naruto is definitely a ripe universe for it tho the world building and lore are top tier. What was your fic about, do you remember? haha

Great picks on Shika & Gaara defo both v cool, if you couldn't tell, mine is Obito!

I feel the same cravings towards pokemon games. There are much more complex franchises with deeper mechanics and stories. I keep coming back. I've never felt disappointment towards the direction of the series. Pokemon at it's core has always been a simple fun franchise. I know this has nothing to do with coffee. I can appreciate Sword/Shield too. There's such a variety of Pokemon early on, you can become so creative with team building. I think Sinnoh has the weaker aspect, because the early game Pokemon feel a bit limited.

I hope you've enjoyed these games so far. I really like them. The art style is cute and happiness inducing. I feel the same way about Gen 2. I'm also starting to understand why people preferred sprites. Nonetheless, the 3D is still beautiful to me.

Midge is cute. I had never heard of her until I searched the name into google. A bird named Pierce has moved into my town. He's a jock personality. I have a weird mix of villagers. My originals never moved out. However, I also have some very new villagers who I haven't taken the time to know yet.

how upset are you over lack of mareep in BDSP. Also please don't defect to goats now, you aren't ash you gotta pick 1
wishing u all the best janna and that you're thriving both here on the forums and in your personal life too! hopefully that includes escaping NY too

I don't like the taste of coffee. I think if you use coffee as a stimulate it can be a nice way of feeling more awake. I don't feel the need to drink it. I'll shower and get on my bike in the morning as a way of shrugging the morning feeling. If you don't mind me asking, do you still drink coffee?

No planning for me. I know a few general things before I start, such as "I want a piplup" or "I want a crobat", otherwise I form my team as I go along. They release tonight in my time zone. I'll stay up until midnight. I bought Brilliant Diamond digitally. I don't usually buy phsycial copies anymore. Do you plan your team? I think it's perfectly fine to do so. We all enjoy these games differently. Some people enjoy nuzlocking and monotype runs. I have never done a monotype run.

I'm trying to improve my attention span. I often pause videos so I can randomly google the most random things. That said, I did finally try the island building DLC on animal crossing. I really like it. I wish I could take these villagers back to my island because there are some I find endearing.

SMT5 came in but now BDSP is coming out. I want more free time LOL

ahh love Naruto & Shippuden sm, I have watched some Boruto it's definitely a bit hit & miss in comparison to it's predecessors but I did enjoy parts of it (I'm like over 100 eps behind tho lmao).
Who was your fav in Naruto? And what other anime do you like? Do you use MAL?
