Fighting DEMONS rn trying not to get invested in one piece to figure out wtf you're posting about!!!!

come here cyber.... we have this thang

#mp answers #i've been trying so hard not to be annoying to my bnha friends but if you will allow me to push this for this ask let me say 🙏 #if you're afraid of the episode count for one piece the manga is a lot quicker read while being just as enjoyable because the art style is #an actual delight. its great its fantastic im absolutely in love with it #the series is soooo good and i know luffy can seem unappealing to people before they start but he's just SUCH a great character & continues #to be even now. the story is SO GOOD the characters are SO GOOD... theres so much lore and world building that its insane #if you read the manga we get 'cover stories' on what's going on with previous characters to see what theyre up to even though we moved on #from where we left them. a lot of these cover stories blend into the main story so well its just seamless #there's one where we get introduced to a character we dont see hundreds of episodes into the anime and they show up like; during the second #saga. the series is about traveling to other islands and every single arc has been tied to another in some way or form that shows up later #even if its sagas and sagas later- it still becomes relevant again!! it's a huge ongoing story and there isnt a single arc that feels like #it has no purpose (sans filler in the anime-but even then!! some filler arcs are really entertaining!) #it's emotional! its sad! its downright stupid and silly but GOD... you can feel the love that oda put into this series and his characters #and the emotions in the expressions and the messages the story gives off it just makes me UEUHGHHAHGHH!!! #it's all about the adventure and the romance of it all! its about the freedom it brings and bringing freedom to others! #its a series where treasure should be a focus given its pirates and the its a giant treasure hunt for the one piece and yet! and yet so man #of the characters treasures are things that are not coins and gems but people and promises and family and and #im going to EXPLODE i love one piece

Actually….re: the whole we have never gotten a glimpse ever of past crocodile thing….would be SO funny if crocodile’s backstory was just every strawhat’s combined in succession but like the wario bad ending version “a man took me and my brother in when we were extremely small children and THEN sold us out to pirates when he didnt have enough protection money who forced ys to work to buy our way out of slavery THEN my sister pushed me down the stairs and THEN she died and THEN i was taken in by a fishwoman and her apprentice. And THEN she framed me for pirate conspiracy and turned me into the marines—“ etc. etc.

Y'know, I know you're joking, just doing a silly little funny and all

But unironically, on a thematic level this could very well be true

Like One Piece's long running themes include rejection, loss, loneliness, either believing yourself to be unlovable and/or hating yourself while loving others and what all these things can drive a person to do (among many other things)

And these narrative elements come up so often you could make a little bingo card of them and have a fun little game to see how many pop up for each Strawhat and their backstories (Sanji and Robin being the most extreme examples in some ways). But the thing is that with the Strawhats, most of them manage to find a way to heal through all that trauma either through their mentors, their friends/family, the Strawhats and/or Luffy specifically. They all found a place to call home through Luffy

But Crocodile never did. He doesn't have a place to call home, people to call a family. He's still alone

So like, while Croc's backstory probably isn't all the Strawhats mashed together literally, on that thematic level? Actually, yeah, probably, especially If Crocodad Real. He could just turn out to be an amalgamation of all the Strawhats' trauma combined but with the specific twist he never had anyone come save him from it, what any of the Strawhats could've turned out like had they never met Luffy and went off the deep end

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Asks #Sir Crocodile #This post ended up sounding like Daz Bones erasure I'm so sorry #I just don't exactly know what the dynamic between those two is right now #Like to me it still feels like Croc just sees Daz as a Very Useful Underling and is keeping him around because #1) The guy's useful and 2) Dude was faithful enough to go to Impel Down with Croc when he didn't have to #Like Daz has proven his worth in that sense #But Daz himself considders fellowship pointless so IDK if there is anything more to the relationship between these two #Beyond the ''boss and subortinate'' #The point is that. I really want to know what the fuck these two were doing for the past two years #Just. Hanging out together. For two years. By themselves??????? #That's a whole separate post though THE POINT IS #I unironically think it's very possible every single Strawhat could find at least one single thing in Crocodad's story they could relate to #If Crocodad Real

me, thinking that i have at least a base level understanding of botw: :)

blue, about to write a 1,000+ word essay that is going to completely revamp my understanding of the game and interpretation of its events: bada bing bada boom

i dont know how you do it. i am incredibly impressed and using all of this for fic inspiration. keep writing

every time someone asks me how i do this shit i have to regrettably inform them that the real genuine answer is that i am fucking insane. my 2 passions in life are writing and video games and the place where the 2 converge fascinates me to no end and i am that special kind of crazy that is capable of latching onto something and not thinking about anything else for 10 years. so. the only thing i have cared about deeply for the last several years of my life has been the way video games are written and constructed. and zelda is one of the most interestingly constructed franchises i have found to date. these games are just like. the absolute perfect story for my brain to work with and i truly do not know who i would be without them. and i am genuinely incredibly grateful that ive been able to build a platform where people like. CARE about what i have to say and take the time to ask me to think about the games because like. i would be doing it ANYWAY but knowing that there are people who actually read my analysis and appreciate the amount of thought i put into this stuff makes me really happy lol

#i sincerely think video games are an art form and that so many stories benefit from being told interactively via video games #and i'm especially fascinated with the way loz chooses to tell its stories because the games are almost always designed so that the player #actively makes every decision in the storyline even though every game only has one preset ending. that's SO COOL. #ive found myself frustrated recently by rpgs that are super cutscene heavy and i was struggling to articulate why until i went back and #looked critically at the way zelda games are designed and i realized that there isn't a single cutscene in loz that openly takes away the #player's autonomy. cutscenes are almost always reserved for dialog or the beginnings of fight scenes but link almost never makes choices #without the player's input and that's a huge part of what keeps the games engaging! YOU are link. he's not a vessel you occasionally #control. he is you. his decisions are always yours. #and that's generally easier to do with a less complex storyline but the way botw kept that autonomy despite its complex story is SO clever #by making the cinematic cutscenes MEMORIES there's never any percieved loss of autonomy because the player understands that this is #something that has already happened so obviously there's no way they can alter link's choices. that's SO SMART #ANYWAY. i didn't mean for this to be a tag essay about video game mechanics sorry but tldr i am so so so passionate about this LOL #if you cant tell. very few people irl will listen to me talk for this long. this is why i love tumblr #asks

10 characters, 10 fandoms

thanks @hesbuckcompton-baby @footprintsinthesxnd @jump-wings @cody-helix02 and @merriell-allesandro-shelton for the tag!

since five people tagged me i'm gonna include a few extras bc i couldn't narrow it down to ten :) i also decided to do characters outside of hbo war since everyone knows my faves already

faramir – lord of the rings

dick grayson – dc comics

kendall roy – succession

adam kenyon – the thick of it

desmond hume – lost

nanami kento – jujutsu kaisen

varian fry – transatlantic

roy kent – ted lasso

jamie tartt – ted lasso

john constantine – comics & matt ryan

tim gutterson – justified

marjan marwani – 911: lone star

tk strand – 911: lone star

gethin roberts – pride (2014)

jesper fahey – six of crows (books only, but despite me not being a fan of the show, the casting of, and performance by, kit young was impeccable and was the perfect choice)

i think most people got tagged in this over the week whilst i was at work so i don't think anyone is left for me to tag but if you haven't done this yet, please consider yourself tagged!

#julian did a tag game #gethin roberts is so special to me #as a gay welsh man whose mother doesn't accept him gethin's story arc actually broke something inside me #so even though andrew scott isn't actually welsh it's the one time a fake welsh character hasn't annoyed me #colin from ted lasso doesn't annoy me anymore it did at first but us queers have to stick together so he's my babygirl now #i was saying in the group chat yesterday how i have two brands of men: dark and brooding or smug smartarses #and i feel like this list kind of reflects that #apart from marjan who is just iconic and above it all #and faramir who's just a sweet angel who deserves nothing but happiness in the world #they're all a little bit (a lot) fucked up though so maybe that's where the venn diagram connects #ok so the official categories are: #dark and brooding #smug smartarse #fucked up baby boy #and every single one of them fits into one or more #marjan has her own category and that's just: iconic

I never play Genshin with audio on bc I hate Paimon’s voice and she never stops TALKING

This is not helped by the fact that Genshin fully thinks you are a helpless idiot

#GIRLIE. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO OVER EXPLAIN FUCKING EVERYTHING #she’s supposed to be an audience surrogate for the questions they may ask but since she asks the most obvious questions known to man #she just seems like an annoying idiot who never shuts up #her characterization is loose and not well established bc she’ll change her personality depending on what questions ‘need’ to be asked #even though the answers are PAINFULLY OBVIOUS #she then overexplains what has already been explained and recaps what has JUST BEEN TOLD #she doesn’t have fun banter with anyone because it’s the same dynamic every! single! time! #she asks stupid questions. the character explains. she continues to ask stupid questions. traveler makes a snarky remark. she gets offended #sometimes if the character has the personality for it they rile her up and she gets annoyed with them #even though 9 times outta 10 they weren’t actually being that annoying and she had to break character for it to happen #(like why would Paimon give a fuck about immortality and why would she get annoyed that the sentient snake doesn’t want her to be her host? #why would Paimon even want to be a host in the first place??) #i KNOOOOW Genshin is the game where everybody is gimmicky and no one has more than 2 personality traits but it’s frustrating #and also the cutscenes that start out of nowhere just to deliver stupidly obvious information… thanks Paimon I didn’t fucking need it #whyyyyy does every story quest have a cutscene every 5 steps that tells you Exactly What Just Happened even though we HAVE EYES #I was genuinely shocked when I played Yelan’s story quest simply because it was the ONE TIME you weren’t outright told all the information #like. the information was still painfully obvious but Paimon wasn’t screaming it in your ear #Paimon is eternally confused. how does she even breathe without someone telling her exactly how to do it? #snack time #genshin impact #tag rant

is the new detective pikachu genuinely awful or are people saying it's bad because it's a spin-off

#real question btw i don't know anything about it other than the divorce thing #like. i liked the first game gkfjfkd it wasn't super good or anything but it was alright #sure the story is. odd i'd say and it's basically discount phoenix wright with pokmans but #nothing awful #people are acting like the new one is absolute trash garbâge though kgjfkdkd #edit Okay i watched a playthrough of it. it's BAD lmao #like the puzzles are bad the plot is full of holes the twist ending is predictable the dialogue is Oh God #it's formulaic as hell fjdjjd and just. i can't get over the twist ending because like #they try soooo so hard to make it sound like a Shocking Revelation but #a) it was already strongly hinted at in the first game b) ITS LITERALLY THE SAME AS IN THE MOVIE #you're supposed to go :O pikachu was tim's DAD??? when like. since day fucking one he has the same voice actor #and Every Single Thing points to it being the case it's just. it's never been hard to figure out #anyway yeah it's. oof. it's not good

[galwithalibrarycard]

Personally I think that ‘good queer representation’ does not have to mean the character in question has a romantic relationship during the story, and in fact characters who are single yet happily queer, or single and still in the process of coming out to themselves and their loved ones, are still valid and important.

#st tags are annoying me #Robin existing as a single lesbian who is openly and happily attracted to women and talks about that freely w a friend she trusts #is GOOD and refreshing content #as a perpetually single queer gal especially #and I’m still internally crying happy tears at jonathan telling will there’s nothing in the world that will make him stop loving him #and just picturing Joyce saying the same thing when will tells her #and her saying ‘baby I’m so sorry this world is so unkind to you but I will be beside you every step of your journey’ #and the very concept of Joyce marching with PFLAG at pride events in future with a PROUD OF MY GAY SON sign #I’m blubbering will byers has an accepting loving family in the 1980s that’s so good #coming out stories don’t always involve dating #sometimes you figure it out within yourself alone and that’s valid #not saying it’s a perfect show just saying there’s more than one kind of queer story #and that includes queer singledom #I’m not telling anyone their personal feelings about the show are invalid though don’t come at me

@maingoes created a tag game, here is the description:

"Topic is covers of books that definitely changed your brain on some sort of minuscule but permanent level or that you think your childhood experience would’ve have been different without (longest title of a tag game ever I know) my only 2 rules are u should have read the book before age 10 and you cannot include the HP series"

Here are my books:

I shall tag @j-purplesunsets-rainydays @jesperfaheygf @cancara @mostlykind @captainjanegay @holdingontozouis and anyone else who sees this and wants to do this! Also pls do not do if you do not wanna ❤️❤️❤️

#about me #hello time for me to overshare in the tags you are welcome once again #so elmer i just always loved because colourful elephant ooo #story about how being different is ok ooo #the rainbow magic fairies. genuinely were like my whole world as a little kid i was obsessed #i used to colour in the pages and one time i coloured in a picture and gave it to my teacher as a present lmao #i still have an edition of the seven rainbow fairies that i got gifted as a young kid #thats why i chose that specific pic #i think my fav was maybe izzy? which lmao cause look at me now #i loved all of them though honestly #dork diaries again i used to colour in all the pictures and i think thats like the first proper books i can remember buying and actively #keeping up with as new books came out #mr men i used to love and still love like t shirts and stuff of. we never actually owned many of the books though because tbh they are #expensive but yeah lmao. i even kept my old lightswitch that has two of the characters on it. #biff chip and kipper were books used to learn how to read but i do remember really liking them and the magic key is the one i remember most #and FINALLY #Where's spot i mostly added because i used to go to the library a lot as a kid and every single time id pick up that book and any other #that had any sort of interactive element tbh. so i added that one more because it reminded me of like when i first went to the library #so ja : D

hi seb good afternoon ily ♡ i hope your day's been good so far :3

Hi hi good afternoon to you as well <33

My day's been alright not much happened tbh my one friend came over like five minutes after I woke up to vent and recharge on the positive vibes of my cat and we did some tests out of boredom and I got declared unwell again but overall that's pretty much it... I should be doing my homework right now but we're supposed to justify the popularity of an author of which we have read exactly one part of one of his stories. Idiotic task if you ask me but oh well I'll just have to pull something out of my sleeves then

I hope your day's been nice so far as well!!! It's morning where you are right now right? I Suppose I should say that I hope your day's gonna be nice then instead <33

#vani🐈 #I don't wanna do these homeworks how am I supposed to do this i don't even care about this detective he sucks #it's one of those peivate detectives who's cocky and a little arrogant and he has a really strange relationship with this one girl #she deserves better than him honestly #and every single major interaction ends with someone pointing a gun at someone else I mean I know it's about the mob but please #idk not a fan #i guess I can see why it'd be popular though it's pretty simple but still intriguing if you're into that #oh well there's no use in complaining about it that's not gonna get me anywhere #it's one of those typical Hollywood-esque detective stories and I'm not a fan of those is all

[nerice]

Ok so it seems like a lot of characters in your novel die sooner or later. So… which of them survives in the end? If it’s even possible to say; as far as I understood there are several timelines.

[rubs hands together] this is my new favourite ask!!!!!! in the interest of keeping some secrets (esp bc some actual Reader Friends might see this) i will be vaguely dodgy and just compile a list of chars who Survive by the metric that i've never written a death scene for them; so even if an oc is not listed here, i.e. implied Dead, they might still make it thru canon perfectly fine, i just happen to have a dedicated au where they're butchered horrifically. for funsies <3

also only guys listed on the oc site because i genuinely could not tell you who does or doesn't make it thru less figured out story corners [a/s drops onto me like a piano for comedy] LET'S GO !!

chess (courtesy of being part of the moon core, i guess. gets gored pretty bad by gray but is functionally unkillable. faye also heavily considers taking an earnest shot at him in her motd rampage but ultimately chickens out for fear of breaking the universe apart again)

damia :^)

devon (chewtoy for both friend and foe but he makes it thru <3)

eliada (ON THIN ICE. i still think kizuna should eat him once he returns to a/s but as of now i am undecided if he gets any comeuppance for his..... Various Flaws.)

jack (somehow survives attempts on his life by every single soulless, and jumie) speaking of which,

jumie!! destined to outlive her loved ones in any incarnation, with the exception of platinum road where i am,,,,, i am not saying sky actually might....... k*ll h*r, but [i am exited from this thought immediately and always] so she lives by the grace of me being unable to stomach that hypothetical scenario ._.

kizuna (has to showdown avery in llf. after that it's anyone's guess)

LEAH !!!!!! daughter of all time who LIVES. which was not the case in older canon where she succumbed to her illness between seasons but i FOUND A WAY TO SAVE HER. SHE LIVES and that is the only thing that matters 2 me in this entire novel verse ;-;

linn......... fwiw i've written death scenes for her but u know they're little more than fun pastime ventures and never stick. like, getting gray to kill her is her idea of foreplay lmfao (i digress)

noah :^)

don't start thinking any of these bastards are truly safe tho!!!!! (except leah. nothing will ever happen to leah! i'll torch and burn this entire verse before i let her come 2 harm again) <///3

#death scenes are typically one of the first things i know about a character ! then i either have to suffer as i grow attached despite that #or bend heaven and earth to find a way around killing them off #though ive only ever gone back on established permadeath plot twice. one of those was leah ! #also fun stats n facts for further consideration > #avery is the most murdered oc!! dies a solid 6 times in canon alone <3 (it's complicated) #nd sky makes it thru every single story she's in. except one 💚💔 #being one of my fav ocs has a 100% fatality rate sorry. i love dying and being dead <3 #askbox #anonbox #oc asks

ok.  this is me having my usual mandalorian issues lol.

shae vizla saying the mandalorian wars were driven by “greed not righteousness” is such a grotesque misreading of history and like COMPLETELY showing that she doesn’t see the inherent flaws in her own culture.

like.  one.  the mandalorians were absolutely driven by both.  greed was just a side benefit to their main focus.  they got to plunder and get tons of resources.  but that was just fueled by the violence that was their actual purpose.

before the mandalorian wars, mandalorian culture had stagnated.  they had nothing to do that felt significant.  they were at least two generations in since having the last major war to fight in (maybe a bit less--i am too lazy atm to see if mandos got involved in Exar Kun).  the mandalorians had a young generation trained and ready but who had nothing truly ‘worthy’ to fight.

soooo, they started conquering the outer rim.  still seeking challenge, they moved in until they started going toe-to-toe with the Republic.  that was a worthy challenge.  no mandalorian felt they were wrong in this.  none of the mandalorians in kotor1 or kotor2 view themselves as morally wrong for the war they caused, the people they killed--they only regret that they got their asses handed to them.  some of them were humbled by that and others just want even more war.  they either stuck to mandalorian culture as it was or swapped to the new, easier, culture of self-focused merc work, shedding the ‘honor’ component, more honestly pursuing the violence that is ultimately what mandalorians seek.

obligatory ‘yes the mandalorians were pushed by the true sith into fighting the republic as a test etc etc but that still doesnt really remove how easily their entire culture took up arms as instigators just to do what their culture had bred them to--wage war.

so yeah shae will do nothing to end the violence that fuels everything mandalorians are.  which, isn’t surprising considering the era swtor takes place in, but it’s such a glaring flaw to her (and a GOOD one tbh!! this is a good trait!) and it just really illustrates how she really is just a typical mandalorian when the chips fall.  her overall dogma is predictable, and hasn’t changed from the mandos at large.  she’s a carbon copy of the 'honor’ they had before their fall, and their desire to push for war and violence as a form of testing themselves in combat.

she really is just a return to form.

#shitpost #ofc like my CHARACTER doesn't really care #he is unbothered by her reading and isn't registering it #because to him a mando is a mando. like. whatever. #hes more tolerant than me i guess #anyways. i care. i have intense issues with mandalorians and i hate them #BUT this is actually done well for this story i would say #it fits and it just shows how deeply flawed every single mandalorian character is #because NONE of them eshew their culture. not a fucking ONE #they took nothing from history at all #(technically canonly the mandalorian wars were supposed to make them diasparate until boba fett but.... swtor has already let that slide) #(so obviously i am acquiescing even though i 100% think kreia's vision ran truer and stronger) #(armor that breaks with canderous--mandalore the PRESERVER--that is then only picked up by a broken shell of a man.) #(who eventually DOES remake their culture) #(the PRESERVER as the last mandalore until boba--who honestly i do not n #*i do not know the mandalore title of lol. #anyways yeah #im opinionated about mandalorians always lol
