So, for the first time in a long time I haven't had someone to watch episodes of One Piece with, meaning Tumblr has to suffer the full hit of my first impression. Which starts even before this title screen.
[Wano, you used to do such cool title sequences that you fit into the show in really interesting visual ways but now it seems you've switched to just the black title all the time for what I assume are valid artistic reasons. I just want you to know if you "slip up", ignore your own sense of artistic integrity, and go back to the older ones that looked way cooler, we'll still respect you. In case that was your major concern.]
Because I'm my mind the last episode ended with an ACTUAL Zoro cliff hanger when the truth is probably closer to....
The FUCK Luffy!?
You mean to tell me for ALL of Dressrosa you had a MUCH COOLER version of Gear 4! A version that doesn't physically bring my head pain from the wincing and eye rolling. One where you go all shadowed and glowy eyed and get a God Cloud Boa for some reason...
And you didn't use it?
[Also, we could have called it something like Snakeman & The Strings which just sounds like the most hard core orchestra you've ever heard.]
As someone whose siblings were so excited for me to see Gear 4 and whose reaction of "wait this isn't it, right?" wasn't exactly popular why would you do this? "You know, Doffy is pretty much kicking my ass right now and I DO technically have another form that's more powerful, but if I use it NOW hos strings might block out some of my natural lighting and I really want to hit that perfect shot for this last move ..... "
Why!?
[He even looks older! This retroactively makes all that Luffy x Zoro fic I read seem Perfectly Reasonable and yes that's the excuse I'm sticking too.]
You know when you wake yourself up trying to say something in your sleep? My ‘had to say it so bad I woke myself up’ phrase this time was “That’s my Service Clown”.
*sigh*
When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.
"This person has a secret onlyfans!" "This artist does NSFW commissions!" "This author writes porn on the side!" I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.
i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.
this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.
anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:
the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
remembering the time i drunkenly told a stranger i was a trans man and he started going off about alpha sigma and beta males and how each one was equally important no matter what anyone says and that i shouldn't feel pressured to be a strong alpha male because emotionally intelligent beta males were just as important
i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.
watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back
