The thing that really gets me about humanity is the kindness that follows tragedy and coming together as a community and loving each other

When the Titanic sank, the Carpathia raced to provide any help they could. They didn't have to, certainly, no one expected them to, but they did

and when the Mont Blanc exploded in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada one man Patrick Coleman went back to his post to warn the railways to stop the trains preventing hundreds from dying

on 9/11 there were 38 planes that had nowhere to land so the Air traffic controllers had them land in Canada in a small town called Gander and all the people there banded together to provide shelter and food for all the 6,000+ passengers on the planes

in a small town in Minnesota, USA 20 people lined up to give CPR to a man who had had a heart attack until paramedics could arrive and saved his life because of it

thousands of years ago somebody cared for a person who had broken their leg, which would usually be a fatal injury, and nursed them back to health

every tragedy has a kindness in it, people helping others in the face of loneliness, desperation, and destruction

and then there is the kindness we show when no huge tragedy has happened but life has happened instead

An adult in the time of King Tut made in him a tunic with ducks on it and a chest with ducks and sandals and earrings with ducks because he loved them so much

people take time out of their day to help an old person cross the street

chasing after somebody because they dropped something and you are trying desperately to return it

leaving food for homeless people

caring for others through an illness

and then there is the community

humans banding together

singing together, a sad tragic song and making it happy and soothing because they are singing it together

humans coming together to let someone buy back their farm at auction

helping one another, being kind and loving each other in the face of tradegy and despair this is what it means to be human

I don’t know anything about Death Note but I am imagining what Looney Toons shit might happen if Light tried killing Danny with it

Notebook returns a 404 error

Ryuk looks at the name and goes “that’s above my pay grade”

The book refuses to take Light’s pen, which works on another sheet of paper. This has the fun consequence of introducing the Death Note as a willing participant in Kira’s murders

It works, but it only forces Danny to go ghost and he’s so sleep deprived he ends up thinking he did it himself on accident and the next day Light sees him and thinks the book broke

Doesn’t work because any of the above, Light learns Danny is trans and uses his deadname (Danielle) and the next thing you know Danny’s little cousin Dani is in town and Also Not Dead

As far as the rest of the Ghost Zone is concerned Danny Phantom is a spawn camper

I have not (yet) watched Dungeon Meshi but I've seen enough of the lesbianism posts to know that the elf lesbian (Marcille?) gets her power from how clean her hair is or something

And I assume their time in a dungeon is more than like, a day trip?

What I'm saying here is that she should 100% be wearing a bonnet while sleeping

Thinking about how the different types of fights we see in OP and OPLA speak to the different kinds of crews that all fall under the term “pirate”. How the fights are both an extension of how the crews live their lives, and how they’re portrayed in the story.

The Red Hair pirates’ fight (in OPLA) is a bar brawl before anything—from a relatively chill, party-loving crew. We see them as not necessarily powerful, but skilled as all hell and capable, and using that capability to deal with drunks and bandits. They’re not necessarily here for violence or to pick fights, and as it develops, that’s not the kind of pirates they are.

The Straw Hat pirates fights (and granted we naturally see more of their fights than anyone else) start out as individual battles that eventually evolve into two- or three-person team ups, continuing until we have the entire group moving like a well oiled machine. It’s individuality, it’s teamwork, it’s constant growth and support, it’s *ambition* and drive and passion. It’s also, like during Davy Back fights and Gear Five, silliness and joy and “urgh I guess I’ll work with you” while being willing to die for each other. These are the choices they make as they work towards their own individual dreams, and slowly merge those dreams into one focused point—reaching the top. That’s what we end up seeing and that’s how we end up seeing them. Ambitious and joyful and silly and growing in strength.

The only fight we see out of the Whitebeard Pirates? Is the War. Because Whitebeard didn’t just build a massive, tightly knit crew—he built a goddamn Institution, a global power whose force even the Marines could barely match up against.

But while there’s the sheer scope and scale of the crew to admire, the storyline actually doesn’t focus on that aspect of them: the focus is instead on the love they have for one another, on their family bond.

Tl;dr I have a Lot of Feelings and Thoughts about the storytelling tools used over the course of One Piece. The choices of characters leading to their own presentation is very much one of them.

Also: the Marineford Arc was so, so, so much a story about love.

Buggy and Reigen are what happens when a standard species fills different niches in two different environments

Reigen fills the niche of a competent mentor figure despite not fitting entirely right, and does it well—like a fox running cat software on dog hardware.

Buggy squirrels under the radar as a background character, succeeding to a degree unexplainable even to him—like raccoons in urban areas.

But ultimately, both of them are simply extensions of a pathetic fails-upwards tumblr sexy man, changed by the course of their own narrative

the best thing about the Straw Hats undergoing historical apotheosis is that in 800 years, every culture they touched will continue putting emphasis on the freedom, joy, and hope they embodied, and serve as lessons and inspiration towards those facing despair and oppression

the second best thing is that in 800 years, the OP world equivalent to merlin's beard will be "Zoro's tits!"

Concept: Straw Hat Records, 800 years in the future

Jinbe - auto-biography, written in his own hand following his retirement, as one of the greatest primary sources for the events leading up to the Fishman Surfacing, as well as the War of the Best and the crowning of the Second Pirate King

Brook - his collected musical works (as Dial Tone recordings) and composer's notes; he didn't write it, but someone does up a documentary of his life after he achieves rockstar status

Franky - his blueprints; his daily logs and notes become an engineer's map to early construction methods worldwide

Robin - her magnum opus, Void No More; her memoirs of Ohara before, during, and after its destruction; her "Straw Hat Adventures", taken up since no one other than Nami was making daily logs for the crew

Chopper - his patient records (as primary historical sources); his own magnum opus, a field medicine/pharmacy text book; a textbook on Devil Fruits and their interaction with anatomy, with special focus on Zoans

Sanji - the Baratie cookbook, with a publication place listed as The All Blue; subtitled "How To Cook For A Literal Army".

Usopp - two: (1) The Anarchist's Cookbook and (2) "Dear Kaya: The True Adventures of the Mighty Warrior of the Sea" (written in epistolary format, every heading written as Dear Kaya)

Nami - the world's first and, right up to the invention of a GPS-equivalent, most accurate global atlas; her navigator's logbook, the only record following the foundation of the Straw Hat Pirates (as Robin took over the otherwise non-existent 'captains log' after Skypeia).

Zoro - poetry. Yes, really. When the crew did their reunion tour around East Blue, someone got their hands on a bunch of his old poetry from when the dojo was teaching the kids to write. Zoro didn't think twice about it but the others liked it, and Brook asked to save some of it for lyrics and they got preserved.

Luffy - his autograph, treasured and preserved by the Barto Club; one single copy of Sabo's Revolution Born that Robin read out loud to him, and whenever he made a comment, she wrote it into a corner as marginalia--he also added some truly awful sketches that people in 1000 years mistake as early abstract art

Heat of the sun Fire can both refine and melt

over the course of One Piece:

Zoro - sharpens and hones his ambition, already strong, into something with direction (hah). He becomes the perfect example of individual SH skills, and how purpose becomes the fire that helps refine metal into a weapon never before imagined.

Sanji - softens the different kinds of walls he puts up--a wall of overdone indifference towards men, of overdone deference towards women--until it becomes a glue that holds him and the crew together. He becomes the perfect example of SH teamwork, in being able to do incredible things while relying on his crew (including Robin during combat!!) to do what he can't.
