Ace's death is a tragedy because it was both preventable and inevitable

After like a thousand episodes of an impossible goal of rescuing Ace and losing thousands of lives in the process, at the last moment everything goes to shit because if ONLY he had just ran with his family. If only he had just swallowed his feelings and got the hell out of there to live another day

But like

Of COURSE Ace would never run from a fight, something shown time and time again. Of course he would defend Whitebeard, the only Father figure in his life to tell him "You deserve to be here" and showed again and again he loved Ace no matter what. Of course Ace would put his love and pride all out for somebody he loves, its simply who he is

And of course if Luffy, the crying baby brother who told him he needed him around was going to die in just seconds Ace would give up everything for him. His own pride got him in this despairing situation, and he took the consequences by saving his brother for another day because that's what big brothers do

What Akainu did was basically playing Ace's worst weakness, a weakness that came from a government that normalizes hunting and killing kids for just existing with things they can't control. And the fact that Akainu wanted Ace and Luffy dead not because of any of the crimes they did as pirates, but because their Fathers were technical criminals is what honestly makes this more of a gut punch of cruelty

Luffy and Sabo better get the chance to punch avenge their brother eventually

#I didn't cry at Ace's death #Cause I already kind of knew #But like I could not breathe while it happened #one piece #op #monkey d. luffy #portgas d ace #fuck akainu all my homies hate akainu #Im not tagging that mf but like you know #tragedy #btw this is based of off posts dissecting tragedies and what makes them so good check them out #asl brothers

my entire tiktok fyp is about the watcher situation which is funny cause i've never watched them but entirely my fault for stopping on every video cause youtubers making shitty business decisions is endlessly entertaining to me

#ik a lot of you like them though and like justice for all of u cause this is stupid #i watched a little bit of buzzfeed unsolved back in the day but stopped cause i knew everything they were talking about already #and i didn't really care about them as people #but i do know they've got a very dedicated audience and this is just... way too shoot yourself in the foot #you've got the kind of audience people dream of lol and u do this.....

Is it wrong to be a Taylor Swift hater?

Like... is it low-key leftover internalized misogyny?

Or does her music just suck?

#idk i could go on but why bother #ive been thinking about this a lot lately #like i really used to be EXTREMELY misogynistic growing up and i started hating tswift from the beginning and never changed my mind #but i cant tell if all my reason for not liking her are actually justified or if its just confirmation bias #and the first name she gave was taylor swift. and i couldnt help but laugh out loud. (over text #but i genuinely dont find her music interesting #i did like that blank space song the first time i heard it #but after listening to the words i realized i didnt really connect with it and didnt like it as much #but its got a really fun melody #idk its also kind of like that post thats like 'were you an OG justin bieber hater at age 13 just because?' #like is part of my disdain for her just stemming from my need to dislike popular things in general cause im a pretentious little indie lover #who knows idk #maybe i shouldnt hate taylor swift #hating taylor swift isnt a personality trait #but also i cant stop thinking about this one girl i matched with on tinder who said she was going into hearing medical sciences #because of the profound effect that music has had on her in her life #and i already knew exactly how she would answer this question just from looking at her but i asked her #what artists she enjoyed that had such a profound effect on her #and the first name she gave was taylor swift and i couldnt help but laugh out loud #(over text tho she did not hear me thankfully) #idk maybe i have nothing againt the woman as a person (i dont fucking know her so i cant) but im just annoyed by the concept of her #she has this like false success story of being a small town nobody who made it big or something #but that isnt even true she had a rich father who was able to move her across the country #and use his wealth and connections to jumpstart her career #i DO think it is impressive that she writes all of her own songs in an age where the mainstream music industry does not do that #but there are a million and one indie artists writing their own songs that i appreciate more #because theyre writing about things i actually care about #not to mention the way people believe with theyre whole heart that she is queer like come on yall...

tbh going from a town of a thousand where you could walk from one end to the other in 40 minutes and every face you saw was white to a decently big city really is exposing a lot of my biases and shit. like I'm not activist (at this moment anyway), but I thought I was at least decently in the know, enough to not seem like a dumbass. but moving up north and seeing the diversity and culture of groups of people I've NEVER met before in my life has shown me exactly how "small town values" my small town was yk?

#racism. i'm saying a lot of the people in my hometown are racist #i already knew they're dumb homophobic and shit but #hm. makes me reflect on some shit yk? makes me want to be a better person because i don't want to cause that kind of bs for other people #it isn't About Me but from a personal perspective it feels like. i grew up in a little box. and then when i got older it was too small #so i broke free and lived inside of a larger cage #and now i'm getting out of that cage and seeing that there's an entire world outside of it that is new to me #rox rumblings #me things #i'm still learning obviously but. yeah #i knew i was relatively sheltered but not THIS ignorant yk? like i can tell by the sheer amount of shit i don't know that alex for example- #-says that i'm missing some pieces. i just didn't think it was this much #i want to be a good ally to marginalized people whether it's disabled folk or bipoc or anything else #i know i'll fuck up still but i want to minimize the fuck ups as much as possible

cant stopthinking about betty

#^ another post thats rlly funny with my current pfp. canon #anyways its genuinely terminal #i cant remember if ive already said this but i think its cause even tho i know for a fact i mustve watched episodes with her in it #because my brother says we did when we watched it as kids. i had ZERO memory of ever witnessing anything to do with her #other than ofc like. holly jolly secrets LOL but that doesnt count #i only knew of that stuff secondhand during the period where i was kind of just occasionally hearing about the show as it aired when i #wasnt watching it. so basically while i already kind of knew what happened. this is me experiencing her as a character and her plotline #essentially for the first time. and realizing ohmy god shes the best character ever. holy fawk....................... #i only just started my at rewatch and i just started s2 #but before that i had skimmed thru a guy's reactions to the full series which led to me watching her episodes for the first time. and MAN. #man. i love her somsuchh oh my god. BETTYYYYYTHAHRAHGHRHGRHRGHRGH #when the character is loving to the point of unhealthy obsession and sacrificing their entire life for the other person #that shit is like cocaine to me #rlly rlly hoping that f&c addresses how crazy and fucked her constantly sacrificing everything for simon is #literally GO TO THERAPY GIRL. GO TO CHAOS GOD THERAPY. #but then again. if she went to therapy she wouldnt be a cool wizard. so maybe its not worth it #also i love a good ''normal average human character slowly becoming less and less human until they are unrecognizable'' #serena.txt

Wait WAIT you're telling me the woman who faked her death to get money out of targeting Black, lgbt, and disabled folks on this website, posted a video with her ENTIRE face in it, stating her name clearly, and said "Yes I scam- I mean made a mistake but I'm not the scammer y'all are accusing me of being"? Mam, you are truly a moron because the very action of posting yourself currently after pulling one of the most classic grifts of all time is uh evidence that you scammed people....

#she is shameless as fuck #and i genuinely feel sooo bad for everybody she scammed #it seemed her mo was to literally wear people who were already being worn out by their own circumstances to give her money #like truly youre going to hell bitch... #i reblogged some of her dono posts cause friends i knew vouched for her and i feel even WORSE for them #because like you made genuinely kind and honest people look bad when they were just trying to help #evil eevviilll

romance where they have history is always so much better than a meet-cute

#sorry i'm watching thor love and thunder yes still it takes me like a couple days to watch a movie #and i'm surprised cause i hated thor and janes romance in the original thor movie but i'm kind of rooting for them in this one #it's cause they already knew and loved eachother and drifted apart and now they're. idk drifting back together. also thor thinks that she's #so cool which i like #however DON'T like that she's blonde. is mjolnir just into blondes. is that why it changes her hair colour when she uses it #i'm glad that when she drops the transformation her hair is still normal a blonde/blonde romance is just weird #also i really like that rock guy. he has two gay dads

What form would your dæmon take?

Dæmons are the external physical manifestation of a person's "inner-self" that takes the form of an animal. It is separate from and outside its human, despite being an integral part of that person (i.e. they are one entity in two bodies). The animal form reflects the nature of the person. Dæmons have human intelligence, are capable of human speech—regardless of the form they take—and act independently, though they cannot stray far from their human counterparts without significant distress to both. Dæmons are typically a different gender than their humans, though (extremely rarely) share the same; the reason for this is unknown.

—Domestic dog

Your daemon would take the form of a domestic dog! Those who have domestic dog daemons are loyal and service-oriented people who love to be in the presence of others. They offer guidance and protection to those they cherish, though are typically obedient to an individual, cause, or service.

—Golden retriever

Your daemon would take the form of a golden retriever! You are a reliable and supportive individual who loves being there for their friends. More so than others with dog daemons, those with golden retrievers are attuned to other people's feelings and want to be a shoulder to cry on. They're natural givers and have an optimistic perspective on life. When deciding on your daemon's appearance, consider the pattern of your daemon's coat. A more orange-colored golden retriever may indicate someone with more intense emotions, while a paler-colored golden retriever may indicate someone more even-tempered.

oi i’m pissed 2 high heaven

#B) but not anymore <3 #my magic healing words #also i'm sick of trying 2 figure out why people dislike me lol. like who gives a shit. #they don't even have any goddamned taste #it was honestly my bad 4 being like 'oh maybe i should let myself make friends + be social' cause i already knew it would end in disaster u #know. i can't really trust most people + i also know that i'm kind of a temporary person in the irl world #the buds that are nice though were absolutely worth it. i wish she wasn't the loudest fucking voice lol. + i wish i hadn't reacted at all #i hate being unprofessional + i hate feeling like i'm fighting a worthless battle. i should've just let her run her mouth #i feel bad 'cause this friend i really respect picked up the emotional slack + i wish she hadn't had 2 do that. :/ i really care about her + #don't want her worrying over petty drama like this #honestly i also feel bad about being upset with this other friend but u can only be fucking weird so many times before someone talks back #like genuinely causing a distraction so i can't do the work that BOTH OUR NAMES are going on professionally? that shit is not endearing! #idk. i don't know what her game is so i don't know how to spin this in a positive light lmao.

Replaying the original Warcraft campaigns cause nostalgia and WOW IS ARTHUS WORSE THAN I REMEMBER

#i always knew he was a bad guy #but w o w is it worse than i remember it being #i completely forgot about the whole boat thing #like okay you could argue that while horrible and tragic he was right to destroy that one plagued city before they all became undead #like fucked up but you can see the reasoning there (and truth be told i think he was right to do that) #they were already dead and anyone who he didnt kill would just bolster enemy ranks #BUT THEN #man walks headlong into a trap (despite being warned by his best friend and some weird prophet guy) #which kind of works out cause some people were cornered and dying and he's able to save them via being there #but then his general is like hey your teacher talked to the king and they called off this whole mission time to go home and he BURNS DOWN #THEIR SHIPS AND THEN BLAMES THE MERCENARIES WHO HE HIRED TO DO IT (they're also trolls and ogres who he calls monsters which feels worse) #anyways i only vaguely remember other parts of the story but im 99% sure its arthus who fucks sylvanas up and she doesnt deserve that #also like going from thrall to arthus is wild thrall is just a guy trying to do best by his people. he listens to warnings he receives he #fights to keep his people free and alive. he helps out the trolls he finds. he has a giant wolf mount which means you can always trust him #he's just the best guy. and then arthus is over here in the cornee fucking shit up because he's messed up and stubborn about it #xndndnndjdjdjsjsjsnsns i have thoughts

When you get to that one point in book 3 but you've already been spoiled by simply knowing which characters the ship beefleaf stands for...

#earth master #i am kind of mad that I already because it is such a good plot twist!!!! #tgcf spoilers #i'll spoil in the tags as well #heaven official's blessing spoilers #OKAY SO #i knew of the ship before starting reading the books but didn't think much of it #then i read vol2 of the official english translation and realized why hc knew the earth master and that shit #i did think that there was more to it and guessed that the earth master was hua cheng's spy and not the other way around #but oh well whatever #and then i made the mistake of waiting for vol3 to come out to read it #but i still decided to interact with the fandom more and saw many tik toks and stuff #and yeah #i knew book 3 was sad and especially for beefleaf shippers #i knew was called he xuan #i also at some point figured out he was a ghost #so um yeah #i didn't know the whole deal with sqx's ascension and stuff so that was a surprise but i not really cause i couls figure it #almost immediately you know #literally only thing i kept wondering was whether hx was actually the earth master and how the hell that happened #BUT STILL reading these chapters was really fun #i just kind of wish i wasn't spoiled for this #but it is a 100% my mistake #tbh it is a miracle it took me so long to even get that spoiled #since i've kind of looked at the fandom since the donghua came out and am just now finally reading the novel #(i can't wait for the english translations anymore #i tried my best there) #tian guan ci fu #tgcf book 3

Lol I didn’t put in my two weeks today

It was a really good work day tho

Corporate came in this morning and we got a 8. last time it was a 6. So the main manager was super happy, got everyone chocolate, and let us a have a lazy day off. It was completely dead the whole time and it was chill. We kinda just talked the whole shift

#I may also kinda maybe have a kinda crush on one of my coworkers #but she says she isn’t gay :/ #SHE PLAYS SOFTBALL #and idk she kinda has the vibe #but whatever #pft I’ve worked there for four months and today was like the first time I’ve actually chatted with her #cause I’m bad at talking to new people in general #throw in pretty girl with curly hair and dimples #her smile is so 💞 #she also kind of just has an intimidating aura #idk #she’s always standing so like. arms crossed. or hands on hips #she walks like a sheriff #/pos #she smells nice. I don’t like sniff her or anything I’m not that creepy I can just smell her when she walks by me #the perfume or whatever #bro she’s graduating this year and she has a scholarship for college and she’s already been talking college classes so she’s gonna be a #sophomore in college right off the bat. #also learning they do talk about me when I’m not there cause she knew about the time I sprayed degreaser in another coworkers mouth #she has pretty eyes. and a rbf which she complains about but I like it #she’s the reason I decided to give Harriet dimples. and that’s like the Ultimate complement if I give it to her

#i had my performance review this morning #and i have a very complicated relationship with my manager #mostly cause i just. do not understand that woman at all #but by now i have kind of accepted that #she's been our manager for 3 years so #it is what it is #and i know how to deel with her now #but anyways #at the start of this year i had so many doubts about my job cause a lot of shit is changing #and i didnt know if i still wanted to do this #started to look around for different job openings too #but in the end decided to stick it out and see how it goes #and i am actually doing things that give me energy now #and yeah not everything is going smoothly but thats okay we're all still learning #with all the new changed etc #and this morning my manager said she really wanted to compliment me #for how i have handled everything this year #and that she has seen a lot of growth #and also have heard coworkers say 'i am seeing the old rose again' in a good way lmao #and idk why i was surprised cause i already knew that in a way but to hear it from her was still kinda validating #so now im like. oof my imposter syndrome is thriving today but she's also being challenged which is nice!! #maybe i do know what im doing! (lmao)

[asyourshadowfalls]

ode to the 8 year old who has had running away on her mind all day. this is where such an insulated life really sucks. is your life perfect, kid? no. but considering your reasons (everyone in the house is annoying /fair i agree but alas everyone is annoying with too much exposure) that is not an issue you can avoid, and it certainly won't be missing in any family you move in with. that best friend is gonna be your enemy real quick (especially since youve already told me she's a bully to her little brother and has been rude to you) the interactions you hate are the ones that result from your own choices. they will only change when you start listening and thinking before reacting. it ain't easier but the more you practice it the better you'll be. and man do i wish you had any experience with sleepovers at other peoples houses or hell even just observing how other families interacted with each other in private because honey, you aren't even yelled at in this house,barring when someone is in imminent danger from your actions. and the family you want to live with has a giant confederate flag in their window so best not have that as your guardian

#this morning after she stated her runaway plan was a genuine surprise #but also a great tidbit for her to jump in with honestly. like look kid youre annoyed by your siblings and they are with you #that's kinda the way it goes especially when none of you have learned to be more kind than not #oh and during one of the convos during her calm moments i asked her what would make this house like her dream house #and she said it'd be fun; with painting and arts and crafts #so i relayed the information that she knew already #misremembering) is not boosting peoples trust in you #personal #children #the fact that her younger sister who cant go more than 5 minutes without being near her said #this is rambles cause obviously theres a limit to what i can say to her #i do not miss being this age #when they came home she was trying to not walk into the house (she had said this morning she was gonna run away) #so i figured alright lets change things up we are all walking to your friends house #(made it clear she's not gonna go inside or anything) #but i wanted to know if her friend was even in walking distance and if so know where to go if kid does run #it all went fine! came back home went inside all well and good #but every transition period since then has gotten her back to angry and yelling about running away #like what the hell kid no one even looked your way why the flip in 2 seconds?? #she's going through a lot #i mean life in general at that age sucks but her beloved teacher left and so that's been hitting her hard #but she really has not grasped that what you do impacts how others react to you #and lying or we can trade this E in for the little E at - #daycare! I bet she'd be nice you could be painting right now if you just cleaned your room - #your dad told you that like 4 days ago" to which i got no response but i think she understood that point cause she moved on from the convo #also just remembered ~I~ had just told her we would do an art project next week for her dads birthday lmao

[milo-is-rambling]

Me and my brother don’t really talk or hang out at all anymore (not that we ever really did) but one of my favorite things about living with him again is when I’m in my bedroom and just relaxing and I hear him start to play his guitar in his room across the hall like the peace of me just in room with my window open just listening to the breeze and the birds and otherwise my room is completely silent so I can lay in bed and listen to my brother play acoustic hozier quietly through two doors and a hallway

#I really do love my brother and I just feel like he completely hates me #and I feel like I’m always a bitch and I never mean to be #I just want to have some kind of relationship with him before one of us moves out of moms house. I would really hate to feel like I never #got to know my brother #I already feel like I barely knew dad and now there’s nothing I can do about it cause he’s dead and I want my brother to like me and tell me #stories about random shit and tell me how is day is going like ever I just want him to like me
