Under a cut because I'm analyzing marineford/ace and it's heavily about suicide/being suicidal
"name a character that didn't run away" and they say ace............. I'm pretty sure he did the ultimate "run away"..... Do people not see aces actions at the end of marineford being..... Suicidal....? He wasn't being a bad ass. definitely think oda was trying to portray how tough being suicidal can be, where, even if you have everything and everyone is there for you, it ultimately doesn't matter. And how tough it is for the people who love the person who's suicidal/has committed suicide. And no matter how they go about helping, at the end of the day, it's up to the individual to choose whether they should continue to live or not. That's why when people say "garp should have stepped up he could've changed everything" Im like???? Because it wouldn't have made a difference at that point. And garp knew that. Ace knew garp loved him. Ace knew his friends and family loved him. Ace knew all of that. Regardless, ace didn't want to live. Oda is trying to make you empathize. He wants you to empathize with the "good guys" and the "bad guys" he wants you to empathize with the pirates AND the cops. He wants you to empathize with the victims AND the abusers. Now, oda takes a stance, you can tell what his stance is and where he resides on the moral scale, but that doesn't mean he doesn't practice and doesn't want you to practice empathizing. Marineford was odas way of saying that your love matters. Even if it doesn't succeed. It's still important to love. People will choose to die if they choose to die, and they should die knowing they're loved. Ace died knowing he was loved. Even if that love wasn't enough to keep him alive. Sometimes it's not enough and it's not your fault and it's not their fault. Idk...... I have so much to say about this. I think so many people miss this about marineford and it's a damn shame bc it has such a powerful message regarding people who are suicidal and people who are left over after someone they loves commits suicide.
I will always be a chucky apologist, I fear. I can't look at that fuckin idiot and be like 'oh yea hope he dies soon' like. No. If he dies permanently, It'll physically weaken my heart and thus cause death by overreaction. DEATH. BROKEN HEART. DO U HEAR THAT DON MANCINI?
( Also these are only a small fraction of chucky pics in my phone btw )
You are so beautiful and I would be lucky if you even considered falling in love with me
Sorry the person you're trying to reach is currently experiencing repulsion towards anything having to do with love. They have been traumatized, sent to the grippy sock place and had a shit time.
But the fact that you're simping that hard is adorable tho 🥰🫶
can I just say that inators is the queen of smut? her descriptive writing and use of prose is outstanding and I know from experience it makes everyone and their mother blush. read forever and a day and lucubration you'll see what i mean. and you wont regret it either.
