Please don’t stress out too much, Ella! Just do your best and don’t forget to enjoy yourself!

Enjoyment, what’s that? I watch anime while I work out, does that count?

why are you deceased Ella.

I’m planning and conducting an extensive research project. Heads up. You guys might become my subjects of research in the second project I have to do this semester 😉

Only those who volunteer to participate, though. I need consent as if I’m going through a real ethics board lol.

Ella, you’re an amazing person and I always always look up to you. You’re polite yet firm in your reasoning, your conclusions aren’t biased and it’s backed up by evidence (you even begun to source them so that people can find the webcomic easily, A+). I haven’t been to your tumblr for a long time and I was so shocked that you recieved asks that are based on only one small part of your explanation and ignoring the context that accusses you of stuff you didn’t even imply. You’re my role model.

Wow wow wow. Thank you! This is both incredibly flattering
and nerve-wracking! Thank you for reminding me of this, because it makes me
feel even more accountable for how I run this blog.

I’ve always credited and sourced before, though haha. The inserted links would have made it easier for people to find the sources :p I’ve just
moved to putting in more formal citations!

I’m not going to lie,
my patience is running thin. It’s one thing if people had a problem with
something I legitimately argued or if I had poor, vague clarification (fair
enough, just substantiate your argument by linking my posts + using quotes),
but that hasn’t been the case yet.

Anyways, recently, the discourse has been heavy because I had wanted to get a few subjects out of the way before I started school. I had been avoiding them for months. There are a couple more I would like to do, but right now I don’t have time and would honestly rather just focus on analyzing content like I’ve always done.

Oh, geez… somebody once wrote a headcanon based on the story of Romulus and Remus, saying that Rome had a brother he killed (to mirror the legend). But, nobody took it seriously, some people just thought it would have been an interesting take of Roman mythology… not a believable headcanon, though. There must be somebody who took it as serious, however, because I’ve seen some people who had reblogged the headcanon receiving anon asks about this. I don’t know if your anon is the same one lol

Oh, huh. I mean, I think it would be cool to have references to the folklore (I and others have given Rome the name Romulus in fics), but the personifications don’t found the nations they represent. They come into existence afterwards.

I’m with you on that. It’s not very believable considering how much it strays from the logic used in the manga. By that I mean that I’m confused that it was considered to be canon. People can headcanon however they want, though.

I had originally intended to answer these last night, but I fell asleep lol.

I’m so glad that you like your classes. I can relate! My birthday is December 9th so I’m always a year behind people my age 🙂 That’s such a bizarre logic for them to use, like what?

My school day was better, thank you! While it’s a lot of work, fourth year in uni is the first time where things feel personal. There are twenty students in some of my classes now rather than 400+

What’s funny is that I found out that a group of professors in my department took it upon themselves to learn my name even though I’ve never spoken in class or have even had some of them. They’re looking for prospective masters students lmao.

Professor: This is the first time where you can’t sit in class and say nothing. Don’t think I won’t pick on you.

Me: *resigns to having to speak and decides to raise hand*

Professor: Ah, yes. Ariella. You’re doing the presentation on penal appetites in the media, yeah?

Me: *eyes bug out*

Professor: *smirks*

Thank you so much! I wish you all the same ❤

The entire internet should take your blog as an example. I’ve never seen someone remain so rational and respectful in a debate. speaks a lot to what society has become today huh

Thank you, that really means a lot ❤

And oh god yes! Twitter and tumblr are the worst offenders of this. Conflicting opinions shouldn’t inherently bring out rude derogatory language in people nor should it prevent someone from considering an alternate point of view.

How was your first day of school champ?

Thank you for asking!

Burned my wrist with a flat-iron, got my period, had one dog drool all over my romper while the other played tug of war with my backpack to prevent me from leaving, forgot my lunch, and got caught in pouring rain on the way home. I hope yours went better than mine :))))

That Anon – Im sorry but if they are going to make statements like that, the burden of proof is on them. Its easy enough for someone to sit at a keyboard and spew the same opinions that constantly make the rounds, it takes work to apply critical thinking to them. Ella does this well. Anon you should take notes.

THANK. YOU.

Guys, I appreciate you all so much, but can we please move on from comparing me to other creators in the fandom? I’m very grateful that you support me, including my shenanigans and mistakes, don’t get me wrong.

It’s just I’m here for me, doing my own thing and don’t wish to stir up anything. If you have a problem with another creator, take it up with them. It’s shady not to, and I don’t wish to be involved in it.

LMFAO ONLY MY MEMES SHOW UP.

Thank you so much! I’m going to start listing the titles of the strips I use at the bottom now and since most posts at least include one world stars chapter, I’ll include the logo there.

I feel dumb now. You explained it great the first time :)))))
