Report Mai88's Profile

yes i am~ love yuri! i guess my favorite would be when they are adults already tbh cause there is so many high school ones that at one point they all merge into one in my head

hiii~ omg thank you for accepting it ^.^

Hello! Firstly I would like to apologize for not responding sooner! My grandmother went to the hospital plus rehab from a really bad fall she had and it required a lot of my time/supervision (cause the rehab place was mistreating her unfortunately) and I wasn't usually in the mood to write after that, my bad~

(about genshin) Did you roll for Kazuha or Klee? Are you saving for Yoimiya or Sumeru (and if so who)? I got my Kazuha by winning my 50/50 (I have won my last 3 50/50s so I'm garneted to like.. never win in sumeru xd)

I've been back on my Elden Ring addiction lately with no other game being more fun/exciting as it. What games have you been playing lately?

(about college) Thank you so much for genuinely reading and paying attention! Not too many of my friends/peers usually care when I talk about it so it meant a lot!
ALSO! Reading through your "synopsis" of your job was very interesting. Whenever I think of careers in the realm of "Business IT", "Information Systems" or "Commercial IT" (or related) I never really had a clear understanding of its involvement, difficulty, and requirements. Everything you were saying you were doing like acting as the middle person between the coder and the client and making the product looked refined and usable sounds really involved and high level! I can't imagine myself being able to do something/anything similar. xd Back in middle school I recall a class that was trying to teach the class to code at a beginner level and I as awful at it! Its so complicated with lots of math/formulas that seems way beyond my skill level. I applaud you for being able to actually understand and use that complex information and turn it into something worth while!

You also mention how you like drawing! Lately I've been really wanting to experiment and dry and refine my abilities because I have never been able to draw decently in my entire life xd. Nothing else to really add but felt like that was a cool thing you mentioned and you should definitely show me something you've drawn in you past! I can't imagine it could be any worse then my current abilities~

(About music) THANK YOU SO MUCH! I didn't really expect you to actually listen to my entire list xd. I really appreciate that you did and was able to find some music you really liked! Koi no Uta is one of my top favs as well! I listen to a lot of "Hated by Life Itself" versions too but Mafumafu's version was really special and emotional~ I also listen to Reol whenever she comes on and I have a few songs that I really love by her!

ALSO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RECOMMENDATIONS!!! I went through all of them and I really liked the diversity!

-The chillstep sounded really nice to listen to in the background while doing hmwk so I saved them for that time~
-Both of the soundtracks were amazing! I really appreciate games/media that goes to the effort to place quality music into their games.
-The DnB songs sound like music I used to listen to a few years ago xd I really really into DnB back then and these took me back~
-The Trance song was also added to "List to while doing hmwk." It was genuinely relaxing and I totally understand the moment of stop thinking and just listening. I really like music/instruments that can make this effect so thank you a lot for this one!~
-The kpop songs sounded really nice! I've listened to my fair share of kpop recommended from my other friend and, just like theirs, yours really hit a cord! Idk the likelihood of my listening to them a lot but I really appreciate you introducing them to me! Once I feel ready to officially fall down the kpop rabbit hole, I'll make sure to remember them~
-ALL OF THEM! the rock/metal were awesome! I added them all to my playlist! Thank you!!!! ( I particularly liked "Perfect Machine")
-The JP doujins, as always, sounded amazing! The were very beat heavy which is something I don't listen to often so thats for introducing them to me!

(If you don't mind, feel free to recommend me more music, all of these were really nice and I appreciated the effort you went to! I've been having a nice time chatting with you and learning about someone seeming so similar yet different!)

This is somewhat out of nowhere but do you have any tragedy/sadder plot manga that you've read and would recommend? It doesn't have to be yuri, I just want a story that makes me invested and allows for a nice reflect on my life currently. I've only read a few but they're so hard to find and wondered if you've scene any.

ANYWAYS! Again I apologize for the long wait, I'll try to be more consistent and quicker with my responses! I hope you had a good July and hope you August is good as well! (*＾▽＾)／

Thanks for accepting..

Hey! Sorry for not responding for a while! I was busy with life stuff and didn't have time or energy to respond fully and heartfully.

I'm also excited for Sumeru! I've been looking through the concept art and leaks on twitter/youtube and im so hyped. All the yuri potential! I've been spending so much time finishing all of my quests in prep, I procrastinated too much and now I need to actually get them done xd

I will definitely check out Liz! I also have another question. Does watching the parent story first make then movie better or would you view them as totally separate? Regardless, thanks for the recommendation!

As for Environmental Science, its actually a fairly new but quickly growing major here (at least where I live). Think about it scope being closer to Biology or chemistry where there are thousands of different aspects and potential jobs. I, in particular, found and was passionate for doing restoration ecology which involves EnvoSci. Basically, I want to spend my time and energy cleaning, restoring, repairing, and overall fixing broken, damaged, or degrading ecosystems whose fault lies with human presence and impact. Removing invasive species, pollutants, any potential illegal hunting, helping endangered species, etc. As for why I started down this path, I took biology class in high school and I really liked the ecology part. I spoke with my teacher and she suggested I take the environmental science class that was offered at my school. From there I learned about a lot of the issues of climate change and ecosystem degradation. For the first time, I felt that all the time and effort I put into school could finally be used to put myself in a position to go down a path I felt was important. I don't have a lot of experience within the field but that the fun of learning. I really like how my actions will play a part in my community of people and organisms. As for classes, I'm only a 2nd year but I take classes on general bio and chem plus how to identify tree species, how to use a map, compass, surveying a forest, general envo legislation, history, policies, politics, along with what I actually want to do (restoration ecology). There are a lot more class like wetland ecology(i live near a heavily wetland-like place), conservation biology, and GIS (a mapping/programming tool which is helpful for mapping projects). As for my future, I have a general idea as I want to do restoration ecology however that is my end goal. I need to do a lot and learn a lot and meet a lot of people before that.
I'm actually taking a geology class in the fall and I'm excited! I really like learning the physical aspects of these sciences without the political side. I'm not good at a lot of this stuff tbf but I find it fun and I'm willing to try my best if it means I can make a difference! I also just realized I talked a lot about this xd sorry! I'm passionate about it and I like teaching people about what I want to do! Can you elaborate on what "IT/product management and stuff" is? I know the general idea but (as you said) its a very different field then me and I want to learn about a field that isn't like mine. (these are your questions but back at you!) Was there any particular reason you started that major(or whatever you call it where you're from)? What do you like about it? What kind of classes do you have? Do you know what you want to become in the future?

Hope you liked my playlist! Do you recommend me any songs that you liked? The one you sent the other day sounded really nice! I feel like a part of someone's personality is evident in the music they like so send me your favorites! (it doesn't have to be for my tastes)

Thats all from me! I hope you have a nice rest of your day/night (*＾▽＾)／

I'll definitely give the personality test a try soon! I really like being able to understand more about myself that I wouldn't otherwise think about. I remember like- 3 years ago when I first discovered what ace meant, it was so helpful and was like an eye opener on so many levels. The personality tests give me the same vibe too and helps my overall understanding of myself on so many levels.

My entire pinterest feed is legit hot genshin characters/yuri/hot genshin yuri ships/ and the occasional meme.

As for games, I've been playing House flipper, Elden Ring, occasionally minecraft, and pokemon. I find it really hard to get into newer games so I've been playing with friends on mainly Elden Ring primarily. As for genre, I like open world / minimal story games or just mind numbing task games (like house flipper or domains/quests on genshin). Story/Dialogue heavy games are somewhat boring for me and I overall prefer multiplayer games with more relaxed elements (like what genshin offers).

Domestic Girlfriend isn't the worst but the drama (back when I liked it) is over the top and not that tasteful imo. I was grateful it hooked me but it wasn't by any means an amazing experience xd. Misaki is adorable~ and usui is among the few male characters I genuinely liked the dynamic of in a straight romance. Side tangent but I REALLY can't stand a lot of straight romance anime anymore. I hate how the male lead who has zero originality or depth behind his character deserves the beautiful girl the story writes (who is also seemingly head over heels for the ml). It feels like a waste and the tasteless writing the authors do is just so annoying. Writing women as if every one of us is willing to bend to a hot guy's feet or the slightest hint of kindness annoys the hell out of me (anyways rant over).

Yuri stories gave me salvation for all the crap straight anime I was consuming and I've had an amazing 2 years since this amazing discovery~ Katerina's reverse harem in "My Next Life as a Villainess" was my favorite borderline yuri/mainstream harem I've seen and I love it! I haven't heard of the "Liz and the Blue Bird" but it looks interesting! I do have a question about it thought; how is the drama scenes handled? I really hate tasteless drama so I often avoid drama heavy shows if I don't know if the drama is decent or not.

I've been enjoying my summer break, thanks for asking (and enjoy your summer too if you can)! And yes colleges here have majors and "all." I am majoring in Environmental Science (more specifically Restoration Ecology). I don't mind elaborating if you're curious, unsure, or interested.

My music personal music taste only really got started when I found anime (because before that I would just listen to music on the radio added the ones that a thought sounded good). I really like vocals with guitar so rock and *some* pop and rap are generally my favorites. The genshin entire sound track is amazing! I appreciate music like that too I just don't usually go out of my way to find more similar to it. A lot of the music I listen to is linked on my profile under "Music Preferences" and playlists I listen to if you're interested. As for bands I really like 'The Oral Cigarettes,' 'SPYAIR,' 'YOASOBI,' and 'CHiCO with Honey Works.'

Anyways that's all from me! Hope you had a nice day today (*＾▽＾)／

Currently I've only done the MBTI test. I got into it like a year ago and found it really interesting but haven't gotten into it in awhile. I might take a look at the other personality tests you mentioned and see how I like them~

I'm currently at endgame as well but I have a few friends who like to play and goof off once and awhile so I haven't being too drained of the game just yet. Yae x Ei is also a fabulous ship I support! I like the kokomi x Sara or Lisa x Jean. I also agree with the Amber x Lisa ship being really cute!~ I legit have my genshin message on my profile "Lesbian Impact" as almost every woman in the game has so much yuri potential (and I love it!). My current team is mainly a freeze with background electro from yae. If I use kokomi I will usually swap to diluc instead of zhongli for more elemental options. I mainly use characters I generally like so my team comps aren't the most optimal but I have fun regardless~ (and yes I play on NA servers mb :c)

As for what got me into anime, my bf has been a huge anime fan for awhile and eventually got me to watch Noragami (and down the rabbit hole I went). As for manga, I (unfortunately) got introduced to domestic girlfriend anime (best op but the show is garbage). It made me interested in the rest of the (what I now know as a dumpster fire) manga. I took a small break after that and eventually ended up reading Kaichou wa Maid-sama after the anime was amazing and that was the manga that truly got me into the medium. As for yuri, it watched "Scums Wish" and there was a yuri scene in the show. I didn't even know that anime had the genre so it was an eye opener. From there I watched Citrus, Sakura Trick, and eventually Bloom into you. After finishing Citrus and Bloom, I went and read the manga of each. Now I read all the yuri manga I can though I think I need to start reading older works because I've read almost all of the newer manga that have come out as of late.

I'm on summer break from college so I have the time to spare but don't feel pressured to respond or to respond urgently!
Aside from everything mentioned, what music do you like to listen to (either anime related or not)?

Anyways thats all from me! Have a nice rest of your day/night & week!~ (´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

I didn't realize we have so much in common! Its nice to meet another ace/INFJ friend :)
I'm not much of a talker either, I find myself stressing to send replies most of the time (though I usually jump at the chance to talk about yuri whenever possible).
I usually try to find time to go onto genshin whenever possible. My yuri queen as of late is Yae Miko although Keqing x Ganyu & Ningguang x Beidou are my favorite ships (hbu?)
I'm fairly new(er) to the yuri community as I only recently got into anime/manga back in 2020. I find it really impressive and amazing the you (and your team) contribute a lot to translating a lot of the yuri manga I read (so thank you! c:).
I hope we continue to get along~ (´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Thanks for accepting~

Happy Birthday

What makes you relate to Homura? Are you an ex "nerd" that turned into a popular person?

You're welcome :-)

Happy Birthday
