you want to talk about disappointment try being a Naruto fan and watch its word building get torn apart retcon after retcon and asspull after asspull

I’m not the first to point it out, I know, but Naruto started out as “hard work beats natural gifts” but Naruto himself is stacked with super special natural gifts. His whole shtick from the start was that the Kyuubi gives him such massive chakra reserves that he could basically brute force his way into performing difficult jutsu. Then it turned out he was the reincarnation of the grandson of the alien goddess that created chakra and jutsu. And also a direct descendant of the previous reincarnation of the same dude, whose DNA is Just Better than everyone else’s. And a direct blood relative of 4/6 previous Hokage before him, including his father who was considered the most powerful of all the previous Hokage.

So funny story actually. One of my friends was hooking up with this girl, they were friends with benefits. She needed a date for some work party so he agreed to go with her. Turns out her dad owns like 3 dental practices and she worked as the business manager for one of them.

So. Today in class we assigned Macbeth roles to students to read. When I asked the class who wants to be Lady Macbeth, a young man raised his hand. I kind of stared at him like “Lady Macbeth,” and he nodded like “I know what I’m about ma’am.” So then the student who ended up as Macbeth raised his hand and said “HE’S THE ONE, HE’S MY WIFE!” So I said “yeah sure why not,” and the entire class period they were blowing kisses to each other and winking at each other, and every now and then Macbeth would say “I’m the luckiest man on Earth” and Lady Macbeth would put a hand to his chest, and be like “BABE!”.

Update:

one of my favorite animal facts has always been the fact that japanese macaques roll snowballs…….for fun. they have no real purpose for doing it they just do it for fun
