arent she going to hospital because health reason and had to take a break (which is still lasted just 2 mounth?)
wait, fuck the new I read. (I believe it because there's no update for year)
dammit.
I hope she gets well soon then.

EDIT: here's the blog post about her problem with her company.
Can I ask for the source that she's just sick in return? (Because I really hope this is the case)

this is what i get...

also that blog is from 2016, but i don't know accurate it is... language barier...

If profile picture has an edgy quote,they're a Tokyo Ghoul fan.
If profile picture has a girl, it is either his favorite girl from a drama SoL or the same but from a comedy SoL.
If profile picture is a loli, lolicon. (Obviously)

I should probably change my avatar to something Fate related, but I'm shit at set making so...

Unless someone is feeling generous.

OT: What they usually like I guess.

I mean, it usually takes 5 minutes. If you have a specific fanart in mind and you're fine with the way I make my sets send it my way and I'll try my best :D

Usually you can tell if someone's an ecchi fan or likes little girls lolis, or if they're into yuri/yaoi. Most of the time it's just safe to assume it's their favourite franchise or character though. But I guess you could go deeper and say you can tell someone's sexuality/preference or even their fetishes and stuff. Even art style could tell you something about their likes, such as if they have a like for more gothic/dark themes or romance.

But then again, maybe they just like the picture or because it's 'memey'. For example this is my youtube profile pic:
I chose it because it's quite funny, but I was also into YoI back then.

Well, I've noticed a few things when it comes to the MAL forums...

A lot of people like to stay in ONE particular forum and that's where they do a LOT of their posts.

Go to Anime Discussion and you'll see the biggest anime fans talk endlessly about anime...

Go to Current Events and you'll see the Political junkies go at it....

Go to Casual Discussion and well...you'll see a lot of cancer...

Now this isn't to say people don't jump around....because they obviously do, but more than likely, MOST people like one particular forum over the others.

AD people like AD more than the others.

CE people like CE more than the others.

CD people need help.

Few possibilities:

Given character's design aestetically pleases the user

I just rehashed opening post...I guess i'm not original in terms of my perspective. Whatever, one more post to the counter.

I was indoctrinated by an inamorata rabbit,
Adenomata affronted.
It was the verecund, dismissed creatures
That I jubilated in most.
This rabbit I would nurture,
At the aiguille of esse,
The anneal of noblesse.

Serious answer:

It's either an anime that i enjoy or a character from a manga - anime that i consider a hidden gem that deserves to be watched/read. I doubt that it works though.

LOL. ummmm Usagi is not my favorite. I do however feel like her expressions are relatable. I always have a character who is looking at a piece of paper. Implies lewdness to me. I previously had a Jonouchi Katsuya/Joey Wheeler Avatar looking at a paper. I don't know why but I think looking up from or at paper makes people look lewd.

Never mind that. Don't you ever get so attached to your forum pic that you have a hard time changing it?

Also my profile pic is kinda flawed so I need to change it someday.
