isn't an unnecessary extravagance like that for yourself?

if a girl i just met jumped in front of a giant monster-looking ghost to save me and my family

gave me her power so that i could protect, even if it made her lose most of her own

trained me and let me fight the monster who killed my mom while giving me the space i need (all while making sure i lived and healing my battle wounds)

then made sure i didn't get killed while her brother and childhood "friend" took her away

making me feel like the only thing i have to do is save her

then i find out she's been talking nothing but highly of me the entire time she waits on her execution

makes me want to be stronger, to the point where i got ultimate power (bankai) to save her

and when i caught up to her right as her execution was about to happen, she was brought to tears

and her smile reminded me why i wanted to save her so bad

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

Went back and soft colored an old sketch - i love them your honor.

Also, fun fact:

but there are apparently "Beautyspren" that: appear as golden sparkles that glisten near a person who is particularly taken with someone or something’s beauty, possibly even their own-
