High in the rugged mountains of Central Asia, where the wind howled through rocky crevices and the air was thin and cold, a solitary manul named Tsuruoka prowled the steppes. His thick, grayish fur rippled in the breeze, and his piercing yellow eyes scanned the terrain for movement. Tsuruoka was a skilled hunter, patient and precise, but lately, he had felt a restlessness he couldn't quite explain.

One crisp morning, as the sun cast long shadows across the barren landscape, Tsuruoka caught a scent on the wind—something unfamiliar yet intriguing. It was faint, but it stirred something deep within him. He followed the trail, his padded feet moving silently over the rocky ground, until he reached a narrow gorge. There, perched on a ledge overlooking the valley, was another manul.

She was smaller than Tsuruoka, with a coat that shimmered silver in the sunlight. Her wide, round eyes were fixed on the horizon, and her tufted ears twitched at the sound of his approach. Tsuruoka froze, unsure of how to proceed. Manuls were solitary by nature, and encounters between them were rare.

But then she turned her head, and their eyes met. For a moment, neither moved. Then, with a soft chuff, she leaped down from the ledge and approached him cautiously. Tsuruoka's heart raced as she drew closer, her scent filling his senses. She was unlike anything he had ever encountered—graceful, confident, and utterly captivating.

Her name was Nana, and she had traveled far to find a new territory. As they sat together on the ledge, watching the sun dip below the horizon, Tsuruoka felt a connection he had never known before. Nana's presence was calming yet exhilarating, and he found himself drawn to her in ways he couldn't explain.

Over the following weeks, Tsuruoka and Nana explored the mountains together. They hunted side by side, their movements perfectly synchronized, and shared the warmth of their dens during the frigid nights. Tsuruoka taught Nana the secrets of the land—the best places to find pikas, the hidden crevices where the wind couldn't reach—and Nana, in turn, brought a new energy to Tsuruoka's solitary life.

One evening, as they sat atop a high ridge, the stars stretching endlessly above them, Tsuruoka nuzzled Nana's cheek. She responded with a soft purr, leaning into him. In that moment, surrounded by the vast, untamed wilderness, they knew they had found something rare and precious—a bond that transcended their solitary instincts.

From that day on, Tsuruoka and Nana were inseparable. Together, they navigated the challenges of their harsh environment, their love a beacon of warmth in the cold, unforgiving landscape. And though the world around them was wild and untamed, they had found a sanctuary in each other.

I think we should commit genocide on Russia and China and Iran and North Korea with nuclear weapons.

I don't want regime change, I just don't want their government and citizens to be alive at all

A 43yo Japanese woman in Hungary, whose violent ex-husband had her kids' passports, begged the Japanese Embassy to grant them temporary papers so they could flee to Japan. The Embassy told her to "talk it out" with her ex instead. He's now under arrest for her murder. pic.twitter.com/rgJVdyeooX

Was on hinge (mistake #1) talking to a guy who was a massive Ariana Grande stan (mistake #2). He mentioned her and how much he loved her music, and I mentioned something about liking her music (lie) but I'm worried about how she looks right now. Immediately this man went off about (exact words) how "problematic" it is for me, "as a man", to "gossip about women's bodies". I'm not trying to gossip, I'm genuinely concerned. She's bone. It's horrifying to see, especially in the face of younger girls/gay men [lets be real] who may end up thinking there isn't a thing wrong with being that skinny, and any comment of genuine concern is "gossip". Even worse, this didn't seem like the opinion of some one off arianapilled r-slur, but a pretty popular opinion online to just ...not mention how she looks in any context. I'm genuinely worried. She looks incredibly sick.

My Chud feed is out of control! Of all the videos it could have shown me, they could choose this one lol... Surprisingly though, not many noticers as I think they were drowned out by all the women arguing with one another.

1. "you mean plating a meal... not cooking" "she didn't say she made it" posts screenshot of the video clearly stating that she made it

2. "making lunch... LOL!" "be nice... we should support our fellow Moms" "you must have raised her!"

3. "I can't even watch this... so unhealthy" "Okay Karen" "you don't even look like you eat healthy!"

4. "maybe learn to wash dishes first..." "who are you to talk? flat back Betty!"

5. "I'm Asian and I think this is okay" "then you not real Asian"

6. "is that paper plates..." "most women in the USA work, hence the paper plates" "you lazy F*cks..."

Noticer 1. "I want to see her kids..."

Noticer 2. "watermelon... chicken... NEVER has the kids in her videos... I'm noticing!" "racist"

(Soy) Noticer 3. "this is the most racist video I've seen all day!" "I was looking for Kool Aid and grape soda"

Rusty and Brock are thriving

These don't have to be explicitly political. Just something that can be applied to our politics. Unfortunately while the writing in Madoka Magica is top tier and the story makes me feel in ways that few other forms of media can, it does not do politics very well which is why I took my favorite quote from a series that is actually based around geopolitics.

In a way this quote truly encapsulates the condition of our current political system, and in a way it mirrors the shinobi world quite well. For example we don't get to choose our sides. People act like we get a choice but there just are not many options. For example like the shinobi, we are given a village, a country. And that country can be segmented down into clans, families, and many other forms of allegiances. All of these are decided entirely by the nature of our own birth, rather than our own choices.

We are guided only by the necessity to make the most prudent choice. We are expected to be part of the group and sacrifice our entire being for its benefit. Like the shinobi each one of us is little more than a tool to be discarded when we are no longer useful. Is that not the way things should be?

Anyways, I'm excited to see your favorite anime quotes that can be applied to political systems! If anyone finds away to do this with the Madoka Magica series please let me know! I have been trying to find a way for years but it just doesn't seem to fit.
