oh also one thing that i realized just now: qbagi’s initial suspicion over what’s happening to qphil being tied to the federation is technically not wrong

you know what drew qphil’s deities’ interest to him and quesadilla island? the birdcage. rose said in her earliest message ”I could sense the bleeding heart of the one I once knew, far, far away”. the deities noticed qphil had disappeared, and maybe they were curious to know what had happened, but the thing that drove them to find him was rose’s want to help him. and if she really was the one that freed him from the cage (and it’s heavily hinted she was), that birdcage undeniably was the thing that launched all of this into action.

how the enderking figured out that qphil had been weakened? we don’t know, maybe he sensed it, maybe he had already been observing him, maybe he noticed rose leaving to look for qphil, it doesn’t really matter. what does matter is that the trauma qphil got from being locked in that cage is what gave the enderking the perfect opportunity to strike. and is what led us to where we are now in the story. so even thought the federation isn’t ultimately the one tormenting qphil right now, it can still all be traced back to them and their continual abuses of power :)

#so anyway if the feds suffer from what’s going on with qphil then uh #you reap what you sow etc etc #good riddance and all that #just another reason to hate the federation #qsmp #qsmp philza #uhh should i tag bagi? #idk maybe her fans might enjoy hearing that she was indeed cooking with the fed comment #qsmp bagi #tell me if i should remove the tag or not idk what bagi’s side of tumblr is like #philza #qsmp federation #shey rambles #also if you really want to dig for og culprit you could start pointing at the watcher #who i believe probably used to work for the feds in the past #based on that one cutscene where all the island like managers or whatever looked a lot like the watcher #aaanyway #you could also say ek was going to come after qphil regardless #which is also fair #i just find the link to the birdcage interesting #anyway moral of the story is fuck the federation and the enderking they’re both mean and stupid #/affectionate at ek but not at the feds

i love the concept of corazon (mother bird) who is taking law (baby bird) away and how law’s beige and colourless clothes resembles chicks without feathers

it’s only when he’s older that law finally gets his adult feathers

#i love bird metaphors for corazon and law #also being stuck in a BIRDCAGE like omg… #one piece #corazon donquixote #donquixote rosinante #rosinante corazon #trafalgar law #trafalgar d law #trafalgar d water law #rebel rambles

i just realized i forgot to post about the movie i watched last friday and i can't believe i did that, because that movie was The Birdcage

it's a 1996 movie starring robin williams in the lead role

it's a queer movie which felt really different and refreshing, largely because it was a heartwarming comedy about a happy, middle aged gay couple.

the story is, that the son raised by two gay men (played by robin williams and nathan lane) wants to get married to a girl who's parents are extremely conservative, and they have to prepare for a dinner where the families meet for the first time.

the relationship between armand (williams) and albert (lane) was front and center, it was very funny and felt really genuine. albert is a dramatic drag queen prone to throwing a fit, while armand is more level-headed, and because the two of them have been together for 20 years, armand seems to have a really good grasp on when to take albert's drama seriously and when to brush it off. they felt like a realistic couple and it just felt so incredibly sweet

90s really offered us some great queer movies and this is definitely one of them

Songs that make me really really really want to learn animation so I can make epic sequences with them as the soundtrack

- Notos by the Oh Hellos, itd make a great phoenix-rising, defeated-character-realizing-their-power-and-absolutely-destroying-someone-who-did-them-real-trauma thing. Also the metaphors and imagery. “Every inhale I take, swallow the ocean whole and I am one / With the hurricane, tall as the tide that laps with a rabid tongue”??? “With every exhale I break you down with a fury, I lay the hills undone / Like a dog gone untamed, bellowing out a river from my lungs”??????

- Boreas by the Oh Hellos, the perfect sort of ‘Im completely defeated but by god I’m still going to do something to help’

- Okay I should just include all of the Four Winds EPs in here. Get over here, Eurus and Zephyrus. Passerine and Rio Grande specifically.

- The Horror and the Wild by the Amazing Devil, see this one fandom post I made that was basically a desperate attempt to visualize an animatic I could never make

- Chords by the Amazing Devil, entirely different vibes but bloody hell it lights a fire in my heart every time I hear it. Just. “We were the winter nights / So you could be the morning snow / Your life begins by leaving / And our love is shown / In the letting go”????????

- Rockslide by the Crane Wives. Im writing a whole thing about that album, Coyote Stories’, relationship with climate change and the generally horrible state of the world and this song is the reason. “Oh I pray today my soul to keep / But we best get a move on or the devil we will meet”?? I mean. Mates. It hits hard.

- Sleeping Giants by the Crane Wives. Same album as Rockslide and just as strong if not more so. It would make for a great call-to-war or prelude-to-a-big-ol-battle.

- Rule #3 Paperwork by Fish in a Birdcage. By goodness is Paperwork underrated (though methinks Rule #2 Moonlight is even more underrated but thats just a good song) and I love it to death. Just a great song for an easygoing time. Or, alternatively, a great song for a subtle call to action.

- Rule #33 Pyre by Fish in a Birdcage. Its just great. A final, fond farewell from a beloved parent or mentor or loved one or other dear person telling you that you’ll be fine after they’re gone. Also the accordion is really neat in this one. “Trust yourself and live it your way”. It just is great.

- WOLVES OF THE REVOLUTION. ARCADIAN WILD. This gave so much inspiration for writing a revolution and the people involved in it. Its perfect for that arc. It doesnt bloody matter if said revolution is in a war tragedy of a fanfic.

Theres more but I dont have much to say about them, so just know that Horse Soldier, Horse Soldier (Corb Lund), Solar Waltz (Cosmo Sheldrake), Mvmt II Begin and Never Cease (The Oh Hellos (really bloody Christian but its so good just music wise)(Also Christmas as hell)), The Day Goes On (Bill Wurtz), and my very dear Discord’s Smallest Violin (The AJR Discord) are also very dear to my heart and would probably become something if I had enough commitment and free time and all those other extremely volatile factors to actually learn how to animate. I will, someday. But that day is not today.

Also I swear to you @writer-of-random-things I am writing the climate-change-Coyote-Stories thing. It exists. Or, about half of it exists. I got to The Hand That Feeds and its. Uh. A lot.

i really do enjoy nahida sooo much conceptually shes 100% my favorite archon i just wish she wasnt the lolibait oneeeeeeeeee

#LIKE MANNNNNNN #her depiction as a child isnt even bad in of itself its actually so thematically coherent &strong given her status as the goddess of wisdom #& how it works to subvert the cultural expectation of what intelligence is expected to look like in the first place #so much of her as a character subverts what a god is ''supposed'' to be what with her existing as a counterpart to #rukkhadevata who is in essence everyone's ideal version of a god #despite the fact that rukkhadevata has long been dead & the idea of her as a god is basically no longer attainable #nahida is a god who was neglected entirely By humanity a god who was forcibly isolated for so so many years #AND LIKE OUGHHH THE THING ABOUT HER WRT ISOLATION VERSUS CONNECTION #because wisdom is all about connection & community & linking each other hand in hand #and this is emulated literally all throughout nahidas Entire character right down to how her kit functions #these unspeakable voids that exist between people the way people isolate themselves #& nahida and her entire deal basically acting as a bridge between that #a facilitator for kindness and understanding #whether its through dreams or the Very Literally Mind Reading & Mind Speaking Ability She Has #& all of this really coming back full circle to how she was isolated and trapped in a birdcage for all those years #with nothing But those fragile connections keeping her attached to this world #a world that had forsaken her from the very moment she was born #i just really love the concept of ''god'' less as an authoritative figure on a throne and more as this intangible connection between people #god is in the way we hold hands with one another in the way we try to understand each other despite it all #SORRY. MY RAMBLINGS

the way i have thought about trafalgar law such an ungodly amount that like. the brain worms have come up with headcanons and i am becoming so delusional im like no it's canon dont you know. like. ofc law doesnt kill people look he's being haunted by the memory of all the people he killed as a child in his anger he literally named his sword after them. and i wont even pause to explain how tf i came to all these conclusions but i promise you they make so much sense to me.

me, delirious: the heart pirates did so much PR to not let it slip that law is a big softie he literally is a doctor look listen to me he reclaimed his parent's legacy and has a sword that doesnt cut and an ability that cant kill and you mean to tell me th-

#i #listen #i need to write my little one piece fanfics again i have so much more shit to say about law #*gnaws on the bars of my cage* #trafalgar law is my favorite character and i'm so normal about him #dont tell me what's going on in the current arc idk and i dont want to know #literally saved all my insane law ramblings from my insta stories that i posted as i was rewatching dressrosa #i was rabid fully feral #i also went through a very old sketchbook and i HAD realized about the birdcage metaphor before i just fully forgot #read the summary of the law novel and became unable to function for a Week #me: he named his crew after rosinante #law novel: yes and also after how much he loves his Friends #me: oh no i'll be insane about this now

[chaos-of-the-abyss]

that awkward moment when your slaveowner/sultan/boyfriend asks you why you support his eldest son's claim to the throne despite said eldest son being the son of a concubine that you have no connection with, instead of the eldest son's rival, who is the son of the concubine whom you yourself brought to the harem and presented to him. and you can't tell him it's bc you had sex with said concubine you brought to the harem and presented to him around the same time that she got pregnant, and so her son might not be his son after all but instead your son
