I think this is it guys….. Took me a decade but I finally found the ultimate show for the homoerotic archenemies enjoyers.
I believe the true heart and soul of homoerotic rivalry is that there should always be something profoundly wrong with both parties involved. Here let me show you something real quick
You’re thinking “wow I wonder what happened between that swordfight that ended with the two of them almost dying at each other’s hands and whatever the fuck the rest of that was. I wonder what they went through together that changed everything” the answer is nothing. Nothing happened. And by “nothing” I meant that one of them literally spent the past ten years in a coma, and the other guy, upon running into him, immediately forced him to go on a road trip with him, during which he cooked him dinner and let him sleep in his bed with him every night. A week later he threw him into a pit of venomous snakes
Their whole thing is that both of them are like “I’m the only motherfucker in the world who can handle him” and they’re correct! Unfortunately every single person around them refuses to believe this and constantly tries to handle them. Disaster ensues
I've been watching so much Leverage lately while in the grippe of a terrible cold and honestly it's been so soothing in this billionaire-bootlicking day and age to watch a show that is so unashamedly fond of just straight up psychologically torturing corrupt rich people. Like remember that episode where they locked a hedge fund manager in a hospital and made him think he had a fatal disease? Every single ep the client is like "I just want him to face legal justice for what he did to my poor daughter/grandpa/pony/etc :(" and the crew is like "Not only will we do that, we will also find out this bastard's hopes, their fears, their deepest darkest dreams and desires, and rip their whole life to shreds right in front of their eyes while they watch and weep in abject dispair. And then we will give you $2 million dollars cash." Fucking legends. Do Elon next

hello! I am new here, what's Nirvana in Fire about?
world’s most ghost-coded man gets a job as a professional schemer in the capital of the liang dynasty as he enacts his elaborate plan for revenge. all his friends and loved ones are like what the fuck! stop treating yourself like you’re just a vengeful ghost!! you’re a real human man and we love you!! and he’s like yeah yeah sure now help me hang this giant anvil over this large red X on the floor, i’d do it myself but my shitty sickly arms would break under the strain
Oh…. Well, it’s over for Crunchyroll I guess
it gets worse: funi had an option to buy anime outright. but, it was bought digitally, and now CR has said that they're not going to honor that, so if you bought anything from funi digitally, CR are taking that away from you
This is absolutely insane but the part that I find funny is that there isn't a community on earth more dedicated to piracy than western anime fans. For ages the only way to even get your hands on anime and manga in the west was piracy. I literally don't think Crunchyroll could have picked a worse group to try the "we're a monopoly so we can charge you whatever we want" play on. I doubt there's a person over the age of 25 who saw that and thought anything other than "welp, okay, piracy it is then!" like honestly the Crunchyroll executives are out of their fucking minds with this one.
What I think a lot of new fans miss is that... there used to be rules.
I have now run anime cons for 20 years. I got into anime in the period where the internet was rising, and legal access to this stuff was sparse, and generally limited to the biggest titles. I bought Fruits Basket on four. Separate. DVDs. I got each ON SALE for around 20.00. I paid EIGHTY PLUS DOLLARS for 4 DVDs of Fruits Basket.
But most of my early access was on blank DVDs with names and episode numbers written clumsily in sharpie. Handed over by friends, traded at con meetings, mailed to me by a friend via media mail. Fansubs and bootlegs, torrented and copied endlessly.
But there used those be a rule. A covenant. Unbreakable. Once a property was licensed, all illegal distribution stopped. Instantly.
The last episode of Fullmetal Alchemist I saw involved Hughes in a phone booth. The series was licensed right after that, and all access stopped. Fansubbers closed their listings, torrents dried up.
Because the end goal was licensing. We wanted nice, physical copies. We wanted professional, properly coded subtitles. We wanted an English Dub cast. We wanted to make anime a viable industry in the West.
So we bought Fruits Basket for eighty goddamn dollars.
So as I reach bitterly for my DVD burner yet again, it's time to remember. We upheld our part of the bargain. We bought it legally from them. We paid to see this industry grow and thrive.
We didn't break the agreement. They did.

Found this on pinterest had to put it here
Tradwives need to realize the seriousness of the shit they are getting themselves into.
The society isn't all that kind to women.
Debi Pearl's writings used this as a *threat*: 'if he divorces you, he will have a new wife basically as soon as the papers clear, but you will end up a lesbian single mom on welfare, so do everything he wants (especially in bed) so that you don't give him a reason to divorce you.'
(the idea that *you* might divorce *him* is unthinkable - you would be turning yourself into a lesbian single mom on welfare on purpose!)
(and I know that's not how lesbianism works, Debi apparently doesn't.)
The burning question about "homesteading tradwive influencer vs. actual medieval farmwife" wouldn't be about who would win, but what would be the final straw that would make Kathrynn - who got married at 21, doesn't know what a chemical is, and who would have sent her children to school if she had had the chance - finally decide to beat the ever-loving shit out of Kathrynn, who got married at 21, doesn't understand what a chemical is and can't spell for shit, but still thinks she can homeschool her kids.
It wouldn't be over feminist issues. Medieval Kathrynn has no concept of "women's right to vote" - it's not like her husband has the right to vote in government matters either. It would probably be about religion. Medieval Kathrynn has no idea what "catholism" is, but she heard Modern Kathrynn talk shit about the saints and decides to toss aside the goat she was castrating and go "that's it, I'm beating your ass."
I'm pretty sure it would be vaccination, actually. Medieval Kathrynn would find out that there's an easy, safe way to keep the babies from dying of measles/mumps/smallpox and that Modern Kathrynn is CHOOSING TO NOT DO IT and would use the grave marker of her third child who passed from the pox as a bludgeon.
