In all honesty the fact that any shonen jump manga ends up even somewhat coherent is wild considering the authors schedules like all id be able to produce would be rambling fever dreams
Like imagine having to plan, storyboard, and illustrate each new chapter every week on the fly with meetings with editors you have to please and then days of crunch time, like never getting a full nights rest and then doing the same thing next week.
Mangakas have reported a mere couple of hours of personal time a week. Its literally unfathomable to me how anyone can create consistently good work in that industry.
And takahashi being SICK on top of that? Christ dude.
Like look at this one artists schedule and tell me this doesnt make your soul shrivel a little at the thought. They barely have time to SLEEP let alone write and plan
yes this ^^^^^^^ they are heroes
they aren’t heroes, they’re overworked human beings. stop glorifying overwork culture it’s super unhealthy. the manga industry is a grim place and they really, really need to get a fucking grip and stop coming up with bullshit rules.
if they want to release their magazines weekly, they need to come up with a system that doesn’t involve a person having to sleep for 2 hours and eat once in a day. or don’t have a weekly manga magazine at all… and y’all need to stop normalizing and/or glorifying unhealthy work ethics like this, it’s disgusting
Yeah no one send any hate to shapooda but the point of my post was that this is p awful.
No one needs their weekly manga chapter that badly. Imagine how much more time theyd have if it were even just biweekly.
This isnt healthy or sustainable. Its soul sucking and exhausting. One week of this would be enough to burn me out I cant imagine this being my whole existence. Theres no time in here to be a person. See family and friends. Go out and enjoy yourself. Meet people. Try new things.
Look at that monday. He eats at 8 am and then doesnt even get another break until 8 am the next day when he goes to sleep.
ATTENTION: if you have weibo/lofter/other CH accounts and you shared any nsfw/gl/bl content from any artist—please take them down NOW given that a BL author just got sentenced to 10 years in prison very recently, this is really alarming
where are you getting your stats? what source of information brought you to this conclusion? none I assume, but I would love for you to prove me wrong.
It’s literally a hyper link to the study
“Chamberlain and his team found that although overall divorce rates of couples with one seriously ill spouse were comparable to the general divorce rate in the US, there was a marked difference depending on which partner had received the diagnosis. In cases where the husband became seriously ill, divorce rates were actually far lower than average at three per cent. However, a staggering 21 per cent of wives who had been diagnosed with serious illness ended up separated or divorced within the same time frame.
In fact, Chamberlain’s study revealed that in ninety per cent of post-diagnosis divorce cases, the wife was the sick party. The researchers suggested that a possible explanation for this striking difference could be that men find it harder to take on a care-giving role.”
WHAT THE FUCK!?!? this is goddamn horrifying.
“Find it harder to take on a care-giving role.”
Bullshit.
They don’t want the burden of a sick wife who won’t be taking care of them. Like good ‘ol “sanctity of marriage” Newt Gingrich divorcing his wife who developed cancer.
I always want to point out that not abandoning your wife is the lowest possible bar, and husbands who don’t do it are unfortunately not necessarily supportive beyond this bare minimum—I once read a blog article by a guy who volunteered at a breast cancer resource centre (he was their first male volunteer, ever) and who wrote, about the boutique where the women tried on wigs:
Many clients came in with female family members or friends. These clients only came in with female family members or friends. During my two years at the center, I never once saw a client go into the boutique with a husband or male relative. I asked the staff about it. One manager said, “Same as the volunteers: guys won’t go near the wigs. Guys are wimps.” Sometimes a woman would come in for a wig… nervous, uncomfortable…and she’d get help from me or the staff, total strangers… and you could see her husband out in the parking lot… sitting in the car, listening to the radio; they couldn’t even come inside.
I’m also reminded of that study on organ donation rates across Europe, that found that among married hetero couples, 36% of women who could donate a kidney to their husband did so, while only 6.5% of clinically suitable men donate a kidney to their wives.
Watching an Undertale playthrough and found Papyrus giving another small addition to the references to the “other world” through a phone call. Added the other obvious references to give it further context.
When Adora first left the Horde she told Catra she was leaving because the Horde was evil, did monstrous things to innocent people, and had been lying to them the whole time. And Catra responded, “what, you didn’t know?”.
And there’s so much to unpack there, but what really killed me was when I thought about why that was. Why was Catra so cynical when Adora bought the propaganda?
It’s because of how they were raised. Shadowweaver raised both of them abusively, but they got different flavors of abuse. Adora was the Golden Child and Catra was the Scapegoat. They were both abused, but Catra caught the brunt of the most violent abuse. She knew the Horde hurt innocent people because she was one of them.
And that puts a whole new twist on how angry Catra was when Adora wanted to leave. When Adora said “what the Horde is doing is wrong and we should leave because of it”, Catra’s response wasn’t really “you’re just learning the Horde hurts innocent people now?” it was, “it wasn’t enough to make you leave when they hurt me?”.
That’s why she’s so angry. From her perspective, Adora was willing to leave the Horde because of what they did to these random people they’d never met before. But she’d never offered to do the same for her.
Catra refused to go with Adora because, just by asking, she broke her heart.
