Memories

Oh tsunderes - gotta love em. gotta pretend to hate them so they dont get overwhelmed by your love. gotta display love in a non-threatening way and accept all their attacks as grattitude for that love. Are they okay?

Notably Narita Taishin is not. BBG needs robatussin and to give her inner child a hug. I love when it is revealed that she understands her biggest hater is herself - not anyone else. While her self-loathing isn't admirable, her determination and fortitude are. I can't wait to make that bitch win a tripple crown, YOUR TIME IS coming Taishin just wait.

question - is it offensive to call her "shortie" as a form of endearment?
