#Also with a grin and a laugh

I convinced my mom to try the live action One Piece, because she's the type to like this style of show even though she isn't into animation and would never read manga, but I didn't think I'd be able to convince my dad because he's usually a stickler for more grounded and realistic stories (his favourite genre is war movies, his favourite movie is Saving Private Ryan, for reference). But, when I brought up with him how I figured it probably wouldn't be his thing because it was fantasy, he mentioned to me that he does enjoy some fantastical stuff if it has like an internal universe logic, like Star Wars, and the more I thought about it, the more I remembered that he also enjoys campy fun action adventure stuff that doesn't take itself too seriously like Indiana Jones or Pirates of the Carribean.

And One Piece has both that internal logic for why people can perform crazy feats (even if it isn't explained right away) which I mentioned to him (just that there is a reason why people can do crazy things in this world), as well as the campy fun action adventure thing going for it, especially in the Live Action (the fight against Morgan's base even has a major Indiana Jones vibes ngl). So I explained that to him and asked if he wanted to try it, and he agreed to watching the first episode with me to decide if he'd watch it with my mom and me.

AND HE ACTUALLY SAID IT WAS INTERESTING SO FAR!! Like, he is NOT the kinda guy to enjoy anime or manga or even western cartoons, always refuses to watch anything anime and doesn't show any interest when I talk about it (I've managed to convince him to watch a few movies like Sword of the Stranger but it's obvious that even when he's not bored or doesn't hate it, it still doesn't catch or keep his interest), and he's really picky about anything fantasy or SciFi, if it like sets off his bullshit meter too much he starts nitpicking the logic behind certain abilities, or decisions, or explanations, etc. I once tried to get him to try Gravity Falls and he wanted to stop after the first episode. He's THAT picky.

So the fact that he actually laughed several times while watching the first episode of OPLA with me, commented about Luffy's character positively several times (he seems to think Luffy is really funny which surprised me cause I thought he'd be the most entertained by Zoro but I mean I can't blame him it is Luffy after all), never cringed or criticised or said anything about how ridiculous it was, means a lot coming from him cause he's always really blunt and honest about his opinion on this sort of stuff (which is fine I don't want him to pretend to enjoy stuff when he doesn't). He actually watched the whole first episode without it losing his attention, and seemed to have fun! And he agreed to watch the rest with my mom and me!

This sort of thing is one of the reasons why I dislike when people just dismiss the idea of live action adaptations entirely. I get that people are jaded with past failures, and don't like when live action is treated like a replacement for or improvement from animation when it isn't. But it is a valid medium just as much as animation or comics or writing are, and can be used to produce some amazing things. And the fact is, there are people who have a hard time connecting with other mediums who will otherwise never engage with this media in its original forms. Live Action, when done well and done right, can reach new audiences and welcome them into the fold in ways the original formats never can.

One Piece didn't need the live action to be popular, obviously, and the live action cannot and will not replace the original, nor should it. But I love that we get to have it alongside the manga and anime. It's just more of what we love, it's the cherry on top of an already stellar multi-layered cake. It complements the original rather than taking anything away from it. And for the first time in over a decade I might be able to share One Piece with my parents, who would only ever have a chance of experiencing it and enjoying it in live action. There's just something so awesome about that for me personally. I just wish more live action adaptations would understand what the One Piece live action understood about the adaptation process, and that's how to keep the heart of the story in-tact, so more people from more fandoms could have a chance to share something they love with more people who it would otherwise not reach.

Anyway, thank you Oda and the OPLA cast and crew for doing live action right for once!

#one piece #one piece live action #OPLA #When Luffy was talking about breaking into the marine base my dad was like #'he seems like he's got a lot of confidence going for him' with a grinnand a chuckle #And then when Luffy was talking to Nami in the base my dad said something like 'other people seem to have a hard time saying no to him' #Also with a grin and a laugh #And bro if my dad becomes a Luffy fan too I will explode #Like he did laugh at Zoro and Nami a few times but he had the most to say about Luffy and none were complains #He didn't even seem to blink an eye at Luffy calling out attack names lmao #Long post #Just your regularly scheduled post where I gush about OPLA for too long #Tv show thoughts #It's not even that my parents have anything against animation they just for some reason have a really hard time getting immersed in it #Or connecting to what's happening #Even when they try something for my sake they just can't really get enthusiastic about it the way they can for live action stuff #Which I mean some people just don't vibe with certain mediums and that's okay

as part of the getting-worse-before-it-gets-better portion of aziraphale and crowley's season 3 relationship arc we NEED a desperate "i love you" from aziraphale met with a hissed, spiteful, and quickly regretted "i forgive you" from crowley

#good omens #ineffable divorce #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #i really want things to get as bad as they can possibly get before their relationship #is saved and actualized if you couldn't tell. #like yes i want them to make up and have a big fabulous kiss together sheltered under a canopy in the rain #and then spend the rest of their eternity together on earth in blissful love #but i also want them to be really unstable for a bit #spiteful crowley. aziraphale blurting out a confession no buildup no apology #because he thinks that'll fix everything. #more miscommunication to give more weight to their final climactic episode where they actually work things out. #crowley has to give him a lift and they start arguing and he blasts queen in the bentley #and takes them careening down oxford street at 120 miles per hour #grinning and laughing manically while aziraphale screams and hangs onto the baby basket he's holding #containing the second coming of jesus for dear life. #crowley just terrifying him to spite him. #i want them to do and say fucked up things to each other! do you get it?

this ask got me thinking about the body swap au again lol here's a wip for what is eventually going to become a sketch dump post for the au aha. whenever i finish that.

#mishanks body swap au #mishanks #akataka #dracule mihawk #shanks #akagami no shanks #red haired shanks #one piece #one piece fanart #op fanart #it is SO weird to draw mihawk's face with a smile that big #and his eyebrows that earnestly happy lol. i know there's a canon panel/chapter cover of him laughing pretty big #but even in that one his eyebrows have a sort of > slant to them yknow? like. not mean but like. assured? #that is not an eyebrow shape mihawk makes often is what im sayin #benn when mihawk-as-shanks walks out of the captains quarters: woah where did u find shanks's boots? #also i didnt know shanks owned shirts like that? #(that shirt is a black blouse lol) #and mihawk is like 'actually this is one of my own shirts that i forgot here after one of my... sleepovers.' (he's started to blush.) #benn's grin is wide and VERY teasing. 'oh?' he asks in a question that lilts up with amusement. #mihawk finds it more grating than if benn just straight up made fun of him lol.

u call gojo princess exactly one time as a joke and he lets out a giggle he didn’t know his vocal cords were capable of producing

#call him ur pretty little princess and watch him turn away with a sheepish laugh bc he’s trying to hide his growing blush <33 #i think he’s weak for femcoded petnames actually ……… i know and perceive the Truth #one sultry ”good girl” and he fucking explodes <333 it’s unfortunate but he died happy. #sugu also enjoys being called ur pretty princess but mostly bc u giggle when u say it and he thinks it’s sweet <3 #he’s all like. ”oh? am i?” w a little grin and a tilt of his head…. and suddenly he’s the one getting u all flustered………….. #sigh. he’s awful actually 😞😞 #(i firmly believe one ”mommy” from u would change something deep inside his brain though) #ari noises ✩

When Steph and Cass get married they don’t take the last name Brown (Daddy Issues™️) or Cain (Daddy Issues Prime™️) or even Wayne (Steph absolutely REFUSES to become a Wayne nosirree), but a secret fourth thing (Gordan).

I am once again overcome by the sheer magnitude of pranks Mikey and Leo could commit on the world of archaeology through their combined abilities of time and space

With enough time for Mikey in particular to be strong enough to make a small time portal - again within Leo’s portal opened in Someplace, Somewhere - they could plant so much shit just to mess with historians.

Like - Mikey wanted to try painting Greek-style pottery and Leo is like “hey hey wait…”

And now there is newly discovered evidence of Greek depictions of humanoid turtles laying around.

#rottmnt #rottmnt leo #rottmnt mikey #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #‘but wouldn’t that be a paradox? wouldn’t it be a different timeline?’ #that’s what Leo’s mainly there for! #I see Mikey’s abilities as time based #so he doesn’t have too much control over where that timeline is just how far back or forward #so it could be a different but parallel world to theirs if left as is #but I see LEO’S abilities as specifically space based #so with his portal acting as a homing spot for Mikey’s to open within #it can cause the time portal to open within the same timeline #and YES that does imply that all the shit they plant is already there lol they just don’t think about it #and yes Donnie does in fact get on their case in regard to Paradoxes but then decides it may be cool to see happen soooo #poor Raph has no idea what’s going on but Mikey and Leo are laughing hysterically #and Donnie is muttering with a maniacal grin about how fast the universe may implode if they mess things up enough #I would also like to note that while I do see Mikey’s abilities as more time based - since he IS the future greatest mystic warrior ever- #-I ALSO think he possesses the ability to harness smaller aspects of his brothers powers #not so much their abilities in entirety but more so base components #look at me and my paragraphs of tags once again rip

i have a counter argument to the 'only one person can boop bill' thing, mabel. she's the type of person to slap stickers on people, she would definitely be the type to also boop others occasionally and bill would be no exception. she probably doesn't do it to annoy bill like dipper would, but maybe as a form of a friendly gesture, kind of like those people who will lightly punch friends in the arm when they hang out.

You know what? Good point. Mabel would get away with more than most, as a fun-loving lady! Bill understands those impulses, and being a touchy person! He indulges in similar ones himself.

Though when Bill's not in the mood to be playful and gets booped anyway? The 'sister-in-law' status grants her considerable grace.

#answers #Though in addition to that - Mabel's general chaos and level of Fun Times is something Bill genuinely likes #Catch these two having one too many margaritas and slinging arms over each other's shoulders while singing too loud and off key #She'd have some leeway even without the brother situation #But Mabel gets a pass on things she normally wouldn't purely on the merit of 'this would piss off the spouse' #The thing about Bill is he's genuinely fun to party with - right up until he decides you're the pinata #Even now there are times when she thinks she's doing something 'cute' and Bill was NOT in the mood but just has to grin and bear it #Instead of breaking fingers one by one #Dipper is singular in his ability to get away with Pretty Much Everything #It's love yest but it's also communication and personality I'm afraid #If Bill DID call Dipper out on doing something Too Far he'd get an embarrassed and apologetic husband. With kisses of sorry. #Though in minor circumstances: he starts arguing with him #Turns out that bickering is a better way to deescalate with Bill than most other tactics and Dipper's a pro #Now Bill's gotta think semi-rationally to Win The Argument instead of acting on impulse. #And in the process of debate he not only: learns where his husband's coming from but has time to cool off #Congratulations Dipper! Your Nerdy Logic brain and ability to Rise to a Challenge prevent Bill from going immediately nuclear #Plus showing off that big sexy intellect of yours doesn't hurt #Whereas I see Mabel pushing one of Bill's few boundaries and then deflecting. She ain't great at conflict #Brushing it off and laughing; Jeez it was just for fun!! Lighten up already! #Exactly what Bill says when HE'S being a dick to someone! #Which is why he'd react Very Badly to that excuse #Ha ha! Fun! Of course Bill loves fun! You know what HE thinks is FUN #Barbecue. Flash-fried pork ribs. Where's that stupid pig #Dipper has to disarm that particular bomb and I highly doubt it's a pleasant process

what lives rent free in my head is i once had a friend who knew nothing about the books say she thought Katniss and Peeta were the best friends because the excerpts from the book she saw from them was them joking around and being comfortable while Gale and Katniss argue for 90% of their interactions

….he literally does act like her best friend, they’re terrible at not being romantic but god they’re so good at having fun together they’re both snarky and empathetic

although katniss frequently thinks of her and gale (and her and haymitch) being kindred spirits, i think she shares a lot more in common (in terms of values, at least) with peeta. they’re both extremely empathetic, protective, and nurturing people, and she’s obviously drawn a lot more towards his world view than gale’s, which frequently upset her. even in terms of the things they enjoy. katniss dismisses beautiful things as being capitol distractions, but she has an appreciation for art and music. and yes!!!😭 i love suzanne collins so much because she’s so good at making them bond in a way that doesn’t read as boring or stupid. katniss and peeta are so fun because you can tell that they genuinely like each other so much as people. they have wonderful chemistry

#she also thinks he’s like the funniest person ever #seriously keep track of how often she smiles grins or laughs at him in the first book #it’s so much #asks #the hunger games #everlark

AU where Robin is going to the local community College for an arts degree. Convinces Steve during her second semester to sign up as a model so they can hang out during class. Robin convinces him its a win win situation, he gets paid to sit and look pretty and gets to spend time with her (that was previously interrupted by classes).

Eddie signs up for the class because he wants to get better at drawing for his DND meetings (plus for his degree he needs to have one artistic class and it was either this or theater, and he isnt sure if he'd have to perform but after getting accused in a hit and run that killed the local cheerleader, he isnt the most liked even though he was proven innocent). Eddie, who is late to class and the only seat left is next to Robin. The two start chatting and ignore the teacher going through the syllabus on the first day. This continues for the first three classes as the teacher goes over different techniques.

Fourth day of class, Steve is there. And Eddie is convinced he's seen an angel. He's seeing one of them sculptures by the ninja turtles come to life. The most gorgeous human he's ever seen. The imperfections make him more perfect. The freckles like constellations on his skin. The scars showing a fight that he undoubtedly was strong enough to survive. Robin clocks it in all of two seconds as Eddie is as red as a firetruck and hasn't said two words. Meanwhile, Steve is standing there feeling a little bad that Robin's new friend is so uncomfortable at the sight of him and his scars.

#Steve is like oh hes cute- oh...oh no its the scars oh no 😟 #Robin immediately has a shit eating grin and is teasing Eddie who just slowly slumps down in his seat #Eddie is convinced he's gonna have a heart attack with how fast his heart is beating #Cmon you telling me yall DONT like this idea someone with better skill write this please #Steddie #Platonic Stobin #Steve Harrington #Robin Buckley #Robin being the best wingman unintentionally #Eddie Munson #Steddie drabble #Steddie ficlet #Steve Harrington x Eddie Munson #Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson #Stranger Things #Also the sculpture by a ninja turtle line was said to me irl they went "you know the famous thing by the ninja turtle the David or whatever #I was like BITCH MICHAELANGELO???
