Has anyone here seen Wolf's Rain ? I just re-watched it couple days ago and I'm wondering am I the only one here who has seen it.

I recommend A Song of Ice and Fire too and I really recommend reading Andrzej Sapkowski's The Wicther fantasy series and 3 video games have been made based on them. I don't know even how to English today so I apologize for possible grammar errors.

I just noticed that after I posted the reply sorry. -
Can you link me the fandub ? It could be Swedish or Danish too since it was really popular in those countries according to Wikipedia.

Donald Duck is really popular in Finland too. And PKNA was released in Finland too but with different name.. I can't remember what is what called in Finnish but I remember reading this as a child but it was Taikaviitta something (Taikaviitta is Paperinik's Finnish name and it means magic cloak or magic cape). Ok I just made some research and PKNA was called Taikaviitta 2000 in Finland but it wasn't so popular in here so we got only 14 comic magazines of 52, well that might be the reason that they just disappeared, when I was a kid I was wondering a lot about that why it just disappeared... Sorry for possible bad English I'm too tired to think. EDIT:// edited a little I noticed some errors haha

I'm really tired... I had 2 entrance exams and now there's a new entrance exam coming up. The entrance exam is for Turku University of Applied Sciences and I really hope I can get there on first try. I mean I can study 2 years in the vocational school but meh. But one thing I'm looking forward to is that I can finally build myself a new life... but still I'm really afraid of discrimination though. Even though I'm going to move to a bigger place there's always chance of...

Ooh there's going to be really nice 'mons in the next episode.

I have 2 entrance exams and I feel really scared and excited at the same time ? I hope I can get somewhere to study because my job ends next month (?) but it will be extra terrifying because I'm going to move from country side to a bigger city. I feel like I'm not ready for being an adult.

Looks like your save file got corrupted and far as I know there's no way to save it sorry.

This photo is from 2014 and it's way too big and I'm on phone (I just grabbed this from my twitter) so I don't really have time to edit this and I'm not even sure can you edit the size of photos with my phone so. But here's my 13-year-old puppy.

I'm going to be a librarian (or at least I applied to school where I can study that haha) and I'm currently working at the local library but it's not really a real job, I mean I don't get any salary from it but I get työmarkkinatuki, a social benefit paid to an unemployed person who is not entitled to ordinary unemployment benefits due to insufficient history of employment or extended, yeah that's the English word for työmarkkinatuki. My friends call me often a LGBT-activist but that's kind of true since I was collecting names for the citizen initiative for the marriage equality. And I would collect names for the new trans law too if someone makes a citizen initiative about it.. maybe I should make a citizen initiative about it... Well to put it short I'm a person who likes video games, movies, comics (both western and manga) tv-series, cartoons and anime and I'm really passionate about human rights.

..Today we got the results for the new Finnish parliament. I think I should start saving money that I can move away from Finland. Our parliament is now really bigoted and there's no hope for things getting better.. but I think moving away from here will take years though..... I want to cry.

Norway just got a really good trans law... I don't know what kind of LGBT laws Iceland has but it's so fucking frustrating that Finland wants to be part of the western countries and be just like the other Nordics but human rights are still a big no. Well at least Finland isn't like some Eastern European countries but hey some human rights would be nice. Tbh I don't know how much longer I can take this.

@Sparky
Well it's true but things are started to go little bit backwards since one of the biggest political parties is True Finns and it's really racist, sexist, homo- and transphobic.. I really still can't believe that 30% of Finns agree with them and there's 5.4 million Finns so 30% is a really big number...
@Tomas Elliot
I know Norway(and Sweden and Denmark) isn't that far but moving out of the country isn't that easy and also I should learn a n...

@Tomas Elliot
I forgot that the word limit existed sorry. But yeah I should learn a new language and I can't just move there and it's easier said than done.. but I could just go to a different country and move there I would already done that.. but there's a lot of problems and money is one of them.
@WrathOfTheLamb
Yeah it's true.. and I'm grateful that I'm not Russian.. I would be probably dead since Russia has that anti-LGBT law..

My pet peeves: - children in general, especially small children, because they yell, scream and mess up things - when people mess up the shelves (I work at a library and this is a new pet peeve of mine) - when people scratch plates with forks, knives etc. this sound hurts my head - when people don't keep their mouths close when they eat and also when they make "omnomnomnom"-sounds, stop it's gross - when you know you're 100% right but people still try argument - people that won't flush toilets - people who pee on the floor or on the toilet seat - people who put something to the toilets that doesn't obviously belong there - when customers use the staff's toilet and it clearly says STAFF ONLY in 3 languages (Finnish, Swedish, English). - people who lack reading comprehension (idk did I wrote it correctly, feel free to correct me if it's written wrong) - people who don't understand meaning of no - badly trained dogs Okay I'll stop now until I write a novel.

I don't remember which European countries greeted people by kissing on cheek.. but I remember that it was one of those southern European countries. I have studied a little bit Japanese but my skill level is basic... I want to learn some more though. You're right with those unwritten expectations and rules. I kind of hate it when many westerners think that Japanese people act like anime characters... pretty much every anime character would be considered a really rude person if they were real.

Yeah.

Let's talk about cultural differences and culture shocks. One of my biggest problems is when I'm talking to non-Finnish people (luckily Japanese, the other Nordics and Eastern Europeans share a similar culture to Finns so no one cares about the lack of small-talk haha). When I was "an exchange student" in Germany, Wittenberg for a week in 2012, a really really big cultural shock and cultural gap struck or happened (?), sorry for my bad English my brain doesn't function because I'm too tired from the work. Well Finns are often been told that we're expressionless, introverted and shy (here's more about this culture thing because I'm too lazy to write it here). In some cultures this is seen rude or weird. Well that was exactly what happened to me when I was in Germany. My host family introduced me to their neighbors and their relatives.. and it made me slightly uncomfortable to be honest and all that hugging...... In Finland only lovers and usually those who have just started dating hug in public etc or people who are relatives have a smaller personal space. While I was staying in Germany I spent my evenings usually on my own, in my "room". My host family started thinking that I hated them and since I was being a typical Finn.. the family's son texted his friend who told to my friend that he is thinking what's wrong with him and his family, did I hate them or is something wrong etc. I really felt bad when my friend told me about this and I immediately went to explain about Finnish culture. He and his family understood it luckily that it was just a misunderstanding and a cultural gap. And fun fact in Finland people who talk a lot and try to force a small-talk are more likely to be A.) foreigners B.) drunk C.) old D.) lonely E.) or all of the above. I'd like to hear some culture shocks you have experienced (and explanations why the culture shock happened). P.S What's the right verb when a culture shock "happens" is it happen or something else because I don't know and Finnish-English wordbook isn't helping at the moment (or I'm searching the wrong words haha).

I remember the Gator times.. didn't Gator break the whole site if I remember correctly ? But yeah this April Fool really got me.. I was like "...seriously ??" until I clicked accidentally the eagle logo.

I think Smack Down should be one of those field terminating moves since it's knocks down pokemon with flying-type and levitate. To be honest I would love to see a flying field like this in the game.. but yeah if the battles are sky only then there should be the same rules like in the sky battles in X/Y... it would be stupid to be honest if pokemon like Aggron could fight in a sky field. But what if the field effect makes every pokemon with no flying-type or levitate faint when they're send out (if the field is going to be like sky battles).
