Well said. What a legacy, and what a loss. Sending love to his family.

This article was the first thing I saw after driving home from setting up a booth, stocked with slimes, at a local convention. Toriyama won’t just be missed. His passing marks the end of an era and the worlds of anime, manga, and gaming will be all the smaller for his absence.

I actually was friends with multiple couples like this and all but one have ended in divorce.  There was the typical drama like cheating but at the end of the day with all of them(and I suspect what may have be the big thing with these two), is that one of them started pushing 40 and changed their mind about wanting…

this definitely doesn’t sound like a bunch of shit you made up

When you set yourself on fire with drugs, you’re not hurting anyone else, though.

Y’all, you don’t even know if she’s going to talk a bunch about Mulaney in the book! From the blurb, its partly about her psychiatric care, and when it talks about the men her life, references: “unrequited love in high school; the twenty-eight-year-old she lost her virginity to when she was sixteen; the frustrations…

At least he didn’t set himself on fire with his drugs, or use them to rape admirers.

The only thing I want to comment on is that I always found it funny that Mulaney and Anna were the most stereotypical annoying late 20's/early 30's dog owning couple on the planet. Definitely said their dog was just as important as human children on multiple occasions. Probably walked it around Central Park in a…

The book’s title is interesting as it implies that it’s men calling her “crazy” (which does happen with many women) but Tendler herself has admitted struggles with mental illness and a period in a psych facility. I guess once the book comes out, it’ll be evident where she’s coming from specifically.

that’s a healthy way to approach fandom. i think it’s funny how many ‘fans’ got tricked by the fact that he looked cute in a suit and spoke nicely.

I couldn’t imagine being with someone that was: (1) maniacally narcissistic; (2) incredibly insecure; (3) addicted to cocaine; and (4) in high demand. That is a recipe for absolute disaster, though I suspect is not uncommon for rising star entertainers/comedians/actors. For what it’s worth, it seems like both she and…

I agree with you, it sounds like they’re two broken people who were in a marriage that didn’t work.

maybe we should wait to read the fucking book to find out whether what she’s doing is “respectable” (according to you) or not

Yeah, I think the situation is probably much more complicated than the discourse around it would imply. It’s either that he was an awful cheater or she was a crazy wife, but those are probably both bad takes.

Mulaney would get a TON of backlash if he tried to do a comedy routine on his ex. It’s definitely a lose/lose situation and I think he smart enough to see that, I am not sure he is doing it out of respect. 

I’ve noticed there’s this tenor to a lot of coverage where Tendler gets to slot into the aggrieved long-suffering spouse role and praised for a tell-all book, while Mulaney is disparaged for not talking publicly about it. And I feel like people are mistaking disclosure for truth, and intimating that we’re owed any…

To the extent it helps, at least he’s owning it.

Men Have Called Her Crazy will also be a good title for this comment section in a few hours.

to be fair cocaine is a helluva drug
