The lady at the counter just saw "Fairies" and thought it was a wholesome book about Tinker Bell.

Little did they know that Tinker Bell was sexually active in said book.

Is the title to imply that all under Heaven is TET, or that TET is Heaven and all is beneath it?
Not new, but a fresh start after a couple years gone.

Don’t bother reading my factbooks. They’re embarrassingly incomplete right now.

A lot of people automatically think that drawings and animation=entertainment for kids, without understanding that this isn't really the case elsewhere in the world. (You can thank Hanna-Barbera for this)

This happened a lot when anime was getting big in the US, video store workers would put hentai and ultra-violent series in the kid's section of their stores. This still happens sometimes, I remember seeing Sausage Party in the kid's movie section at a local Goodwill.

You'd think that the people putting this sort of stuff on shelves my atleast see bits of the inside of the books or turn of the movie atleast once, but I guess I'm asking to much for the bare minimum.

It's just so strange to think back on it now, right next to Spiderman and Magic Tree House sat all the volumes of Bondage Fairy...

TET isn't claiming or implying to be Heaven. Nor does it claim to be all beneath Heaven. I interpret it as more of a disclaimer, meaning none of us are Angels here ...or dead.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

My blood is boiling!

I've recently gotten into listening to audiobooks, a natural progression from listening to podcasts for me, and the narration is just so so so well done, it made the reading feel like a radio drama. A dramatic part of the book just came and went and I could feel my anger and sadness rise with the death of a character. It's so well done! I'd recommend audiobooks to people who feel like they don't have the time to sit down and read, since you can listen to audiobooks anywhere you can put on your earphones!

so if you bleed when your blood boils with anger... does it churn even as it comes out (with bubbles)?
