Kihrin has his own ideas about how to fight back, but even if he's willing to sacrifice everything for victory, the cost may prove too high for his allies.

There’s a Cat Sing-Along Version To the Neon Genesis Evangelion Opening and I Think I Now Know the Meaning of Life

Screenshot from the Battle Cats collaboration with Evangelion

Evangelion, in particular, has had Battle Cat events going on since 2018. During this event, players will have a chance to obtain various characters from the franchise. Some of those characters look like cute, chibified versions of themselves and have cat companions. Others are the characters as cats, which I feel like is the entire point.

Novel It Had To Be You Is a Hilarious and Touching Romcom Perfect for Fans of Love, Actually

Book cover for It Had To Be You by Georgia Clark

I've been on a bit of a romcom kick lately. There's just something about the sweet and lighthearted romps of a will-they-won't-they couple that always makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. And in these cold winter months, romance reads have served as the perfect dose of cozy escapism.

BEE's new book gets scathing review Christian Bale in American Psycho (2000)

I'll never understand stocks and I think I'm okay with that. You guys go have your fun and all own GameStop locations or a specific seat in the AMC of your choosing. Again, I don't know what any of this means. I'm just assuming.

Too Hot to What Now? Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle Renewed for 2 More Seasons

The cast of Netflix's Too Hot to Handle gather together

Netflix's Too Hot to Handle will once again answer the burning question that none of us realized we had: can YOU go a couple of weeks without sex for $100,000? I'm betting most of us could, but what if you were on an island with extremely attractive, sexually active people? Well, I'm betting most of us still could but it makes for great trash TV!

Jojo Siwa’s Rainbow-Infused Okay Is the Energy We Need for 2021

JoJo Siwa attends Nickelodeon's 2019 Kids' Choice Awards at Galen Center on March 23, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.

Jojo's response to this is an important part of her coming out. It shows all of us, children and adults, that if someone is walking away from you for being you, then you can just let them go. There's no need to try to appeal to them. More importantly, there's no need to shrink yourself in order to try to keep them around.
