Blog: My Thoughts on Aliens.

Okay guys, I would like to preface this by saying that these are just my views on aliens. I’m not saying this with the intent of getting you to believe what I believe. You should be able to make up your own minds on these things and be able to think things through, especially if…Continue Reading →

Blog: Schedule Updates for the Tanuki Corner and Teaser for Books.

Hey, guys! M.J. here with some updates for the Tanuki Corner. As you guys should know by now, I’m a highschool student and unfortunately, summer is almost over and school will be starting in about a month. While I had hoped to grow this blog site a lot more over this summer, I had gotten…Continue Reading →

Blog/News: My Thoughts on the Chronicles of Narnia Reboot.

It’s a relatively good thing that Rings of Power (Rings of Racism), is coming out next year because I don’t think I would be able to mentally handle the horror of having to review Rings of Power and the Netflix adaptation of Chronicles of Narnia. The anger of seeing not one, but two pieces of…Continue Reading →

Blog: I Went to the Rennaisance Festival After a Four Year Hiatus. I Have Some Thoughts.

I have always been a Renn Faire fan and have been going to my local Renn Faire with my family ever since I was a toddler. Because my dad’s a medieval history nerd, we would always go at least once or twice a year…until the p(l)andemic happened in 2020. We went once in 2019 then…Continue Reading →

Blog: Hollywood Remakes and the Death of Creativity

When I was still in elementary school, I mostly wrote fanfiction for creative writing assignments. Often, many of my stories were retellings of fairy tales or had something to do with Barbie. The two stories I remember the most were 1). Frog and Toad meets the Barbie Spy Squad where Frodo and Sam were working…Continue Reading →

Blog: What the Hell is a Skibidi Toilet?

As you know, on this blog, I am a purveyor of fine content. I’m like a 5-star chef, giving you only the best I can come up with. Nothing more and nothing less than the absolute finest. So…toilets. Why the heck is the skibidi toilet trending on YouTube right now? Why is it so popular?…Continue Reading →

Blog: Peanuts. Little Nut-Shaped Legumes of Death.

Imagine you’ve just had a baby. You’re a new parent and this is your first born child. You barely know what you’re doing and almost all the information you’ve ever read about being a new parent is tossed out the window. You are definitely laughing at your younger self for ever thinking parenting would be…Continue Reading →

Blog: Why I Left the Percy Jackson Fandom (and I Don’t Regret it)

So, recently I’ve done three reviews on the main three series of the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles (the name assigned to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Heroes of Olympus, and The Trials of Apollo). While I thought the original Percy Jackson series was good, I thought the other books were mediocre at best. Books aside however,…Continue Reading →

Blog: Sophmore Student Destroys Unclaimed Demigod.

Keeping up with the trend for this week about the crappiest fandom in existence, the Percy Jackson fandom, I’m going to be destorying the arguments presented by the YouTuber Unclaimed Demigod. Unclaimed demigod is a book review channel who identifies as Aro/Ace (I’m trying to figure out if she’s half Ace of Spades, Ace of…Continue Reading →

Blog: Sophmore Student Destroys Unclaimed Demigod (Part 2): The Return of Sanity.

Previously on The Tanuki Corner, I wrote a post demolishing the arguments presented by the YouTuber Unclaimed Demigod and I promised that I would do a part two since within the thirteen minute video called “Reading Trials of Apollo Reviews from Homophobic Parents and Losing My Mind” there were twenty incredibly shallow arguments that made my blood…Continue Reading →

News/Blog: Snow White is Going to be Disney’s Biggest Flop to Date.

Right now, I think we’re stuck in an absolute clown world where bad means good, and dwarves are now regular sized and look like they just pillaged a local Renn Faire, then bought some LSD. If this seems familiar, that’s because this is what’s coming out of Disney as they not only are hemorrhaging money,…Continue Reading →

Blog: Can We Talk About Lightsabers for a Moment?

As I’ve been trying to convince my parents to allow me to start a YouTube channel for this blog, one of the ideas I’ve had floating around in my head for a video has been “Galactic Insurance Agent Insures Lightsaber.” However, since I haven’t gotten a YouTube channel started yet, why not talk about all…Continue Reading →

Blog/News: My Thoughts on A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Movie

I first heard about this movie when it was announced in…I think it was 2021 or 2022. At this time, I had already read The Hunger Games series and had watched the movies. I liked them well enough and they’re still some of my top favorite movies to watch. However, I didn’t pay much attention…Continue Reading →

Review/Blog/News: The Percy Jackson and the Olympians Trailer Looks Abysmal.

I’ve talked a lot about Percy Jackson on this blog. I’ve reviewed the books and the the spinoffs. I’ve told you why I left the fandom and don’t regret it. I even destroyed the arguments presented by the Leftist nutball Unclaimed Demigod. But what I haven’t talked much about is the garbage adaptation from hell…Continue Reading →

Blog/Review: One Sentence Book/Movie Summaries.

As you could probably tell, I read a lot of books and watch a bit of T.V. That being the case, obviously I had to do some sort of book summary in this format. Hope you enjoy. #1: Lord of the Rings Group of people spend several months trying to return jewelry. #2: The Hobbit…Continue Reading →

Blog: Why is Fantasy Armor so Bad?

Maybe I’m not the greatest person to be critiquing armor since 1). I’ve never worn armor for anything and 2). I don’t play a lot of video games (I’ve only played SmashBros a handful of times and the cart racing games a few times). However, I do come from a family with common sense and…Continue Reading →

Blog/News: Israel Belongs to the Jews. You Deserve to Rot in the Worst Fires of Hell if You Support Hammas.

Over the weekend, the Islamic terrorist group, Hammas, breached the Israeli border and launched a massive attack against the Jews, slaughtering families, brutally raping and killing women, taking citizens as hostages, and in general being the pieces of absolute **** that they are. As of right now, a thousand Jews have been slaughtered, thousands more…Continue Reading →

Blog/News: You Might Want to Rethink Letting Your Kids on Roblox After This. Part 1: Child Exploitation.

If you’re a millenial, Gen Z, or have a relative who’s Gen Alpha, then you have probably heard about, seen, or played a game called Roblox. This fun gaming site probably seems innocent enough to the casual player, with it’s bright colors, cute avatars that you can dress up however you want, and fun games…Continue Reading →

Blog/News: You Might Want to Rethink Letting Your Kids on Roblox After This. Part 2: Rampant Pedophillia.

Warning: This post deals with pedophillia and sexual abuse/content on Roblox. If you are a kid reading this or are an adult who’s squemish about these things, you have been warned. Welcome to the second post in this series where I do a deep dive into the horrors of Roblox and expose it for the…Continue Reading →

Blog/News: You Might Want to Rethink Letting Your Kids on Roblox After This. Part 3: Censorship.

Finally ending this series on the reasons why you shouldn’t allow your kids on Roblox, I’m going to talk about the last big problem that seals the corruption of Roblox: censorship. While you might not think that censorship really affects your kids, it actually does. Roblox has inadvertently backed themselves into a corner and admitted…Continue Reading →

Blog/News: Rick Riordan Needs to Keep His Mouth Shut About Things He Doesn’t Understand.

While I’m a bit late covering this story since I try to stay off of rickriordan.com since most of Riordan’s posts just anger me, I ran across a post from October 17th that I feel needs to be addressed (you can read the full thing here: https://rickriordan.com/2023/10/from-boston-to-new-york-and-back-again-with-thoughts-about-israel-and-gaza/). To summarize this article, Rick Riordan talked briefly…Continue Reading →

Blog: Why are Fandoms such Garbage Nowadays?

If you are part of the groups known as Millenials or Gen-Z or heck even Gen-X, then you probably know what a fandom is. Either you have friends who are active in a fandom, or maybe you were or maybe your kids won’t shut up about a fandom they’re in. If you went to public…Continue Reading →

Blog: I Threw a Blog Post Into Google Translate. This is How it Went.

I’ve been watching a lot of Google Translate videos recently where people throw random words, recipes, etc. into Google Translate and explore how badly translated it was. This gave me an idea. What would happen if I put one of my blog posts into Google translate? This led to me to going on a very…Continue Reading →

Blog: You’re a Book Addict if You do These Things…

Time to out myself. I am a book addict and as a book addict from a family of book addicts, I consider myself an expert on the warning signs of being addicted to literature. So like the title said, here are the signs that you may be one too. #1: You spend half/all of your…Continue Reading →

Blog: Best Elf in The Silmarillion; A Spotlight on Maglor.

Yes, I’m going to be catching a lot of flack from people in comments yelling at me that actually Finrod was the best elf or Beleg was or blah-blah-blah and they’ll die on that hill. But hear me out. Of all the characters in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion, the elf prince Maglor is one of…Continue Reading →

Blog: Why Are YA Novels So Tropey?

I was at lunch the other day with my cousin at a restaurant when our conversation switched from school to books, particularly young adult novels. While I haven’t read a lot of young adult novels since I was 14, my cousin has and it’s something that I have been thinking about ever since. Why are…Continue Reading →

Blog: Common Book Tropes I Can’t Stand

Yesterday, I wrote a post about how modern books are becoming incredibly tropey and how annoying those tropes have become. After writing that post, I started thinking about the tropes that I hate and compiled this list. While some of these are tropes that I hate in general, I would just like to say that…Continue Reading →

Blog: If You’re a Writer/Author, You Might Do These Things.

As you guys know, I’m a writer. I write all the posts for this blog, and I just finished my fourth book. Do I know when any of my books will be coming out? No, because editing, self-publishing, and copyrighting takes forever. However, since I only have one more book to go before the series…Continue Reading →

Blog: Female Authors Aren’t Being “Infantilized” by the Publishing Industry. They’re Doing it to Themselves.

Recently, I ran across a channel on YouTube run by a woman named Elizabeth Wheatley and for those of you who haven’t watched any of her videos, she’s a fantasy/romance author who penned the Dandreth’s Assassin series and generally makes videos promoting her book and talking about the genre she’s in. At first, I really…Continue Reading →

Blog: Thoughts on Female Warriors and Rulers in the Fantasy Genre

As I’ve been doing this blog and quickly writing my own books, I’ve been paying attention to how other people portray their characters in media. In particular, I’ve been paying attention to how authors and writers portray their female characters in media, which more often than not nowadays is not in a very postive light….Continue Reading →

Blog/News: My Reaction to the Rumors About Rings of Power Season 2. My Brain is Now Mush.

As you guys know, I hate Rings of Power to the ends of the Earth and it infuriates me to no end how little respect Amazon has for the Tolkien fandom’s beloved professor and the stories he spent his life on. Now, with Season 2 of Rings of Power on the way (supposedly), the rumors…Continue Reading →

Blog/Review: So Far, The Pendragon Cycle Looks Really Good (Spoilers).

Last year, the Dailywire announced that they would be adapting The Pendragon Cycle by Stephen R. Lawhead into a series on Dailwire+. Me being the fantasy nerd that I am was very excited to hear that and now that I am reading the books am even more excited to watch the show. Now that Dailywire…Continue Reading →

Blog: I Went Ice Skating for the First Time. YouTube Didn’t Prepare Me Enough.

I usually don’t talk much about stuff that I do in my personal life on this blog and the reason for that is I’m not big on putting stuff about that onto the internet for thousands of people to see. However, in today’s case, I feel the story is funny and relatable enough to put…Continue Reading →

Blog: Why I Don’t Like Melanie Martinez

If you’re not a late millennial or Gen-Zer, you may not know who Melanie Martinez is, so let me fill you in real quick. Basically, she’s a singer who first popped up when she was 16 on an episode of America’s Got Talent in 2012 and launched her music career from there. Since then, she’s…Continue Reading →

Blog: Why I Don’t Watch Anime

Last year, political commentator, Matt Walsh, said in a video that anime is Satanic. While I think that he was mostly saying this in a joking manner, I can’t say that I don’t disagree with his stance on this massively popular genre. Sure, there are anime out there that aren’t horrible such as Avatar: The…Continue Reading →

Blog: Happy Women’s History Month. People Still Don’t Know What a Woman Is.

At this point, anything having to do with Rick Riordan or his publishing imprint, Read Riordan, has become a reliable content cow for this blog since they just can’t seem to keep their mouths shut about cultural issues that are particularly dangerous for teens. In today’s episode of Rick Riordan/Disney being stupid, I’ll be providing…Continue Reading →

Blog: Learning Languages

Ever since 8th grade, I’ve been learning Spanish. Has it been fun? That depends on your definition of fun. If you’re learning it when the curriculum actually teaches you what things are, what they mean, grammar, etc., then yeah, it’s fun. But when it’s attempting to teach you the language via the use of pictures…Continue Reading →

Blog: If You’re a Hiker, You Might do These Things

My family is pretty big on hiking. We live in an area were there are plenty of trails relatively nearby and up until a few years ago, we used to go on many hiking and camping trips where we would be eaten by bugs, get massive sunburns because we didn’t put on enough sunscreen, wonder…Continue Reading →

Blog/Review: AI Art is Okay. And Some New Announcements.

Ever since AI came out, I’ve been pretty suspicious of it. While quite a few of my friends assure me that it’s fine and can be a wonderful tool, I still stay wary of it. Can it be used for good things? Yeah. But can it also be used for evil and be really creepy…Continue Reading →

Blog: Dwight and Angela are the Best…False! They are the Worst Ship in The Office (Spoilers). 

I should preface this with: I have not seen the entire Office series. I am just someone who likes psychology and has spent several weeks watching clips of The Office on YouTube and researching it on Dunderpedia (yes, that is a real website), because a friend of mine likes the show and I needed conversation…Continue Reading →

Blog: I Hate Gen-Z Slang

Fortunately, or unfortunately, I am a member of the group known as Gen-Z. This means that though my family didn’t let me use the Internet until I was 8 and most of my cultural references came from the shows and movies that Mom and Dad let me watch, I have been privy to some of…Continue Reading →

Review/Blog: King Avallach’s Sword is a Wall Hanger.

In the leadup to the adaptation of Stephen R. Lawhead’s series, The Pendragon Cycle, the Dailywire has been doing quite a bit to promote it through giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look into the filming of the show, kind of like the Appendices to Lord of the Rings, but somewhat less cool. However, in one of…Continue Reading →

Blog: More Really Bad Fantasy Armor (Genshin Impact Edition)

A few months ago, I did a post about fantasy armor in media that not only looked terrible, but also would be entirely impractical in real life. You guys seemed to really enjoy that post so here’s some more crappy fantasy armor that we can all laugh at. #1: These people I’ve never played Genshin…Continue Reading →

Blog: The Problem With Christian Media

Recently, in a desperate attempt to find a movie to watch this weekend, my family and I watched a movie that was labeled as a Christain film. Regardless to say, this movie sucked, losing the plot constantly, never answering the central question of the film, and more. While I feel like I may have lost…Continue Reading →

Blog: Can AI Generate Good Armor?

Last month, I did a blog post on AI art and its advantages and pitfalls. More recently, I have also talked about really bad armor designs in video games, T.V., books, etc. With those two being set up, I think it’s time that we see how well AI can produce images of armor. Will it…Continue Reading →

Blog: Please Stop Letting Your Kids go to Sephora. They Scare Me.

To be clear, I’ve never actually been inside a Sephora or Ulta Beauty store in my life. All my makeup comes from Walmart or Amazon because I’m frugal (*cough* cheap *cough*). However, on a recent trip to the mall, as I was walking around I saw a small part of what everyone has been talking…Continue Reading →

Blog: Here’s an Example of a Good Enemies to Lovers Ship: Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.

I’ve talked quite a bit on the romance genre recently and while I’ve given a lot of examples of bad romantic relationships in books and given advice on how to actually write a healthy relationship, I don’t think I’ve really given an example of what a good relationship looks like. To be fair, good relationships…Continue Reading →

Blog: Guns Aren’t the Problem, People Are the Problem.

Last Wednesday, I read a post from a fellow blogger about guns and why – in his opinion – they need to be banned. He told the story about how his friend who had immigrated to America had been killed in a shooting and talked about how many people had been killed in shootings. The…Continue Reading →

Blog/News: Why Does the Young Adult Section Suck Nowadays.

A week or two ago, I wrote an article about what I found in Barnes & Noble’s young adult section. In that article, I posted the pictures I took of the books and among them were such titles such as Queer Ducks, The Black Friend: How to be a Better White Person, White Fragility, Afterlove,…Continue Reading →

Blog: What it’s Like Being Homeschooled.

I thought to save this post for when I actually started school, but yesterday, I looked around, saw how many people are returning back to school and thought, “Eh. Why not publish this post early?” I’ve talked a little bit about what being homeschooled is like last year in my post about the documentary Shiny,…Continue Reading →

Blog: Why is There Such a Double Standard in Christian Media?

This topic comes from my critique of the Millie Maven trilogy by Ted and Rachel Dekker that I wrote a few weeks ago. In reading some of the Amazon reviews, I noticed one disgruntled reader lamenting the fact that so many Christian parents will allow their kids to read that trilogy, but absolutely forbid them…Continue Reading →

Blog: I Made AI Write a Story. It Was…Something.

Well, I’ve come up with some armor and picture reviews from Bing’s AI program in the past few months, but now it’s time to put its creative abilities to the test in the form of writing. I’ve had this idea floating around in the back of my mind for a while now as I thought…Continue Reading →

Blog: I Asked AI to Write a Script

Surely, most of us have seen the absolutely hysterical “I had a bot watch 1000 hours of [insert thing here] and write a script” posts by comedian Keaton Patti. If you haven’t, here’s an example of one of these scripts: Having known about these and laughed at these for a few years now, I thought…Continue Reading →

Art Gallery/Blog: I Asked AI to Generate Art.

One of the many things that AI is being used for nowadays is to generate art, be it for book covers, presentations, fun, etc. Personally, I have used AI for this because while I can make watercolor paintings and know how to use graphite to draw, I suck at drawing people and animals unless I…Continue Reading →

Blog: My Thoughts on Ghosts

This summer, my family and I went on a long vacation and were able to see the famous Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. It was a really cool experience, and not only were we able to explore the Molly Brown Suite which was full of gorgeous memorabilia from her life and provided an awesome…Continue Reading →

Blog: Random People You Meet During the Holidays

The holidays are upon us with Thanksgiving being tomorrow, which means that we’ll be hanging out with our families, stuffing ourselves with turkey, mashed potatoes, and whatever else is on the table. So here are some of the people that I think everyone has interacted with during the holidays. #1: Immediate Family These are the…Continue Reading →

Blog: Ways to Wrap Presents

Christmas is next week and if you’re like me, you haven’t even begun wrapping presents or bought all the gifts you need to for the people in your life. Heck, you probably bought someone’s present early, hid it for the time being until you needed to wrap it, and then forgot where it was (this…Continue Reading →

Blog: My Thoughts on New Year’s Resolutions

Happy 2025! I can’t believe it’s been a year since I’ve last posted. … I can feel you all cringing at that joke through my computer screen. It’s the New Year and that means that for the past few days, people have been busy making their New Year’s resolutions and posting them online or telling…Continue Reading →

Blog: I Went to a Civil War Ball

As many of you know, I’m homeschooled and since I’m homeschooled, that means that things like prom and homecoming aren’t really common. While there are a few groups that I know of that do offer those things for homeschoolers, I either never learned about it in time or it never lined up with my schedule….Continue Reading →

Blog/Apologetics: I Ran into the Mother God Cult at the Mall.

I’m really hoping that I don’t get sued for writing this. The Mother God cult is not something that you want to mess with. Even the apologist Mike Winger had to take down his YouTube video on this cult because they were threatening legal action against him if he didn’t. But with that worry out…Continue Reading →

Blog: Why I Think Abortion Should be Banned – Part 1: The Science

“Trust the science.” It’s a phrase that we heard a lot during the COVID era. For example, we were told to “trust the science” that the vaccine worked; to “trust the science” that masks helped stop the spread; to “trust the science” that there were no dangerous side effects from the vaccine or its subsequent…Continue Reading →

Blog: Why I Think Abortion Should be Banned – Part 2: Ethical and Moral Dilemmas

In a study published by the Lozier Institute in 2023 reviewing 1000 women ages 41-45, it was found that 67% of women considered their abortions to be ““accepted but inconsistent with their values and preferences” (43%) or “unwanted or coerced” (24%)”. Meanwhile, only 33% of women in the study wanted their abortion and 60% would’ve…Continue Reading →

Blog: Why I Think Abortion Should be Banned – Part 3: The Legality of Abortion

One of the many things that pro-abortion activists like to throw around is the idea that abortion is a constitutional right and to take it away (such as in the overturning of Roe v. Wade) is unconstitutional. The most common amendment that the pro-abortion side cites (which was used in 1973 to pass Roe v….Continue Reading →

Blog: Grok AI…What are These Images?

When I started playing around with AI and its creative skills, my dad initially suggested that I try Elon Musk’s AI program, Grok. However, when I looked it up, I found out that it was locked to anyone who didn’t have an X account. Thus, I couldn’t use it since my parents won’t let me…Continue Reading →

Blog: Why I Think Abortion Should be Banned – Part 4: Abortion and Religion

To wrap up this month-long series on abortion, it’s time to talk about the religious aspect of abortion. I saved this one for last because it’s easily the most controversial part of the abortion debate. According to Pew Research Center, as of 2023-2024, 95% of atheists, 94% of agnostics, and 80% of secularists believe that…Continue Reading →

Blog: Charlotte Brontë vs. Jane Austen – What Does it Mean to be Real but not True?

Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë are two of the greatest female authors to have ever lived. Charlotte Brontë, having been born a year before Austen died, was familiar with her work and famously said of Pride and Prejudice in a letter to George Henry Lewes in January 1848: “Miss Austen being, as you say, without ‘sentiment,’…Continue Reading →

Blog: Islam Condones Pedophilia and Treats Women Horribly

Welp…I’m posting this towards the end of Ramadan, the most important Muslim holiday. If I don’t get at least one disgruntled person in the comments calling me Islamophobic or racist, I’ll be genuinely surprised. Today, I’ll be replying to a comment made by our favorite Pro-Hamas protester, D.J., who said this under my post about…Continue Reading →

Blog: Okay, Haters…You Win.

Since at least 2024, I’ve been being bombarded by haters and now, after a year of putting up with their very well-thought-out arguments consisting of “F*** you” and other names, I must admit that I can take it no longer. I simply cannot refute their points anymore. Their evidence-based arguments that I’m a “loser,” a…Continue Reading →

Blog: Comments Section Mania.

As most of you know, I’m a fan of free speech on this blog, so if you have something to say, even if I highly disagree with it, I will allow it in the comments section. Even if you are being a jerk towards me (looking at you Pro-Palestine people), I’ll allow it (especially since…Continue Reading →

Blog: Can We Start Wearing Clothes When We Work Out…Please?

One of the most annoying parts of social media is the fitness genre, especially when you mix GenZ and millennials into it. Sure, not all of it is bad. Personally, I’ve benefitted quite a bit from watching and following along with workout videos on YouTube. But what is with the clothing situation? I can’t tell…Continue Reading →

Blog/Apologetics: Here’s How Not to Evangelize.

Whelp, it’s been some time since I last talked about Bryce Crawford and with all the accusations coming out about Todd White and how he’s actually a pathological liar and hypocrite (whoever could’ve guessed) and the fact that Bryce was recently on an interview with disgraced Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz, I figured that we should…Continue Reading →

Blog: Can Language Change You?

In the play Pygmalion, the linguist Henry Higgins picks up Eliza Doolittle, a young woman from a poor family who speaks in very crude dialect of English. Believing he can change her manner of speaking, he makes a bet with his colleague that, given enough time and lessons, he will be able to pass her…Continue Reading →

Blog: The Problem with the Woke Right.

I honestly never thought the word “woke” could apply to conservatives, but welcome to 2025, I guess. For a while, the term “woke” was what us conservatives used in reference to the blue-haired Lefties screaming on street corners about how Trump will kill us all or something, and for the most part, still is. However,…Continue Reading →

Blog: I Asked Grok to Give Me Dating Advice as Mr. Darcy.

As many of you know, I’m a Jane Austen nerd. I’ve written extensively about her books and characters and probably will continue to talk about her work at some point. That said, when I heard that Pride and Prejudice (2005) was being released in theaters again in celebration of its 20th anniversary and the Internet…Continue Reading →

Blog: Debunking My Haters – A (Relatively) Brief History of Israel

It’s been a while since I last added something to this series, but we’re back. A few months ago, an anonymous commentor in my most popular comments section wrote a string of comments, with the gist of them being that Israel is the reason why Hamas exists. They wrote: You do realise isreal is the…Continue Reading →

Blog: More Comments Section Mania

Welp…I did it. I finally angered someone so much that they decided to start spamming my blog in an attempt to get me to shut up. That was not on my 2025 bingo card, but I suppose it was inevitable. Add that to my list of achievements. What happened was that I came back from…Continue Reading →

Blog: Happy Memorial Day! Let’s Remember and Respect Our Veterans.

One of the very disturbing trends I’ve seen over the past year or so is how little we respect our veterans and service members nowadays, especially on the Left. I’m sure you’ve seen the absolutely disgusting videos of deranged people on YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, and others wishing death and serious mental illness on veterans, but…Continue Reading →

Blog/Apologetics: How the Church Should Respond to LGBTQ+.

Oh, joy. It’s June. You know what that means. It means that for an entire month we get to bombarded with videos of people proudly and publicly putting their sexual fetishes on display for everyone (including children) to see while also burning our eyes with the ugliest combinations of colors I’ve ever seen on random…Continue Reading →

Blog/Review: Top Ten Books from Junior Year

I had heard it said by several of my friends that junior year was going to be the worst year of high school…and they were kind-of right. It wasn’t that it was the absolute worst year of my life or anything. What made it the hardest academic year for me was just the massive workload…Continue Reading →

Blog: LGBTQ+ is Hypersexual. Change My Mind.

A little while ago, I got a comment from someone who was making the claim that LGBTQ+ is not hypersexual and actually straight people are more sexual than LGBTQ+. This is a common argument that I think a lot of people on the Right have heard, mainly when questioning the ethics of chopping things off…Continue Reading →

Blog/Apologetics: I Went to a New Age Expo (Stranger in a Strange Land)

For some reason, writing this introduction reminds me of the end of a My Little Pony episode, in which Twilight Sparkle writes to Princess Celestia about what she learned about the power of friendship that episode. This is probably due to the fact that this was my first time ever going to one of these…Continue Reading →

Blog: LGBTQ+ and Its Ties to the Occult and Paganism.

A little bit ago, I was asked to help edit a book for Christian apologist Marcia Montenegro. The book was called Spellbound and was an update of the original. It talks about how the occult is reaching our kids, why that’s so dangerous, what the occult is, and how Christian parents can talk about it…Continue Reading →

Blog: Two Years of The Tanuki Corner!

Technically, the two-year anniversary of the Tanuki Corner won’t be until Saturday, but since I’ll be going out of town on Sunday and the weekends are my writing days, I’m publishing this on Friday. Yay! If you remember from last year, I updated this website, so it looked more put-together and sleek as compared to…Continue Reading →

Blog: Happy 4th of July! Western Civilization Wouldn’t be Here Without Christianity. Change my Mind.

One of the most popular claims that I hear coming from the Left – particularly atheists, surprise, surprise – is that Western civilization was never founded on Christianity, doesn’t need it, and that it’s all a product of the workings of us humans, a.k.a. “very clever apes.” If you disagree, then you’re just another one…Continue Reading →

Blog: I’m Back!

None of you would’ve guessed this, but I’ve been gone camping for past week. Thanks to WordPress’s schedule option, I was able to write my posts for last week a week in advance and let the computer do the rest of the work so none of you guys lost out on any blog posts. But…Continue Reading →
