TBH, I don't believe Kid and (at least most of) his crew are dead, purely because I don't see Oda passing up the comedic moment of seeing Kid gnashing his teeth at Luffy's hero's welcome into Elbaf.

i just can't believe that oda fucking create sanji, a stereotypical ladies man who simps to an embarrassing degree for women while having his hackles comically raised around everyone he perceives as a man - and most notably butting heads with the more obvious ~manly man~ of the crew. haha, classic anime running gag, the kind that gets obnoxious at times but still makes you laugh.

AND THEN, like a billion chapters later, motherfucker steeples his fingers and goes "soooooooo... what makes a person Like That?"

and the answer is that he grew up in fucking Toxic Masculinity, The Kingdom. the answer is that he was always Different, in a way other guys instinctively perceived as weak, and that made him the target of visceral scorn and violence. the answer is that he was sensitive, sweet, caring, nurturing - feminine-coded traits which are only valued by patriarchy insofar that they're performed by women in service of men. the answer is that in a kingdom comprised almost entirely by violent men, the only ones who were ever kind to him, the only safety he ever had, were a girl and a woman.

so cooking is for women and servants, it makes you less of a man. only women will ever really value you for your passions and dreams. women are also actively hurt by the way the world works, they are unsafe unless they comply with men's violence, and you have to protect them.

(men will always know what you are, and they will hurt you if you let them.)

and even after he leaves... at baratie he is cherished and respected, but even that is an extremely masculine environment. we don't talk about our feelings, we don't let our guard down, the only love is tough love. when he tries to express his artistry and express himself through his cooking, rather than just filling orders and making money, he gets mocked.

so here is a man who will not raise a hand to a woman, because he rejects the masculinity he was raised with and refuses to become yet another man subjecting women to violence. he is desperate for women's attention and affection because it's SAFE, it's the only kind he can trust. other men are potential threats and must be treated as such. he must at all times be snarky, tough, Not Feminine, because to be perceived otherwise is to be powerless, to be hurt.

like y'all. the queer coding of it all? the overtly feminist themes? the active rejection of toxic masculinity and the way it's shown to be directly tied to imperialism? what the fuck.

In another case of 'why does my brain work the way it does', I am now caught up wondering why Disney doesn't have a cross-country Orient Express style train line.

Like, trains were Walt's big thing. They're the entire reason the parks exist. They have cruise ships that fill a similar travel experience.

So why no trains?

#trains #disney #maybe if we want the US to invest in railways again we should try to convince disney to do this

Me trying and failing to flirt: hey did you know that adding lanes to roads actually increases traffic and so to decrease traffic we actually need to invest in alternative means of transportation like public transit and bike infrastructure and remove freeways since the natural bottlenecks they crate mean traffic will only get worse as they grow so if we want to fix our cities and make them more livable we need an end to the American automotive dependence

[enigmasong]

A lot of people seem to think that transit and walkable communities is only a conversation for people who want to live in big cities like no small towns should also have these things

Say what you will about Pudding, but in these panels, she’s summed up the plight of every Sanji fan.
