#it just doesn't have the same ring to it

[scificrows]

i just think murderhelion is such a funny ship name for murderbot and ART because like... we've seen those missiles ART has and how ready it is to use them to protect its loved ones... i think ART is already "murderhelion" on its own tbf

#[edit: okay i created a poll for this! tagged as 'mb art ship name poll' if you want to go look for it :D] #the murderbot diaries #murderbot #perihelion #murderhelion #asshole research transport #peribot just doesn't have the same ring to it though #maybe their ship name is 'murderhelion' when they are all fighting or threatening others trying to save and protect each other #and 'peribot' when they share that one brain cell and are being Dumb together #𓄿

Honestly I think crocodile/dragon and crocodile/Doflamingo are only interesting when treated as failed relationships spinning off into increasingly petty grudges and instigations. Become a warlord to piss off one ex by working with his hated father only for the OTHER ex to ALSO become a warlord to drive you insane. Etc.

I am now going to take his as an opportunity to rant about Dragodile because I unironically think it's an interesting ship if Crocodad Real and I don't think I'm ever going to find a better excuse to rant about it unprompted lmao SO HERE WE GO

But yes like. Dragodile is so fucking interesting to me

A marine and a pirate falling in love with each other is already some starcrossed lovers kinda BS. But then it's like, a FORMER marine and pirate who is WORKING FOR THE GOVERNMENT. That's EXTRA JUICY, it adds layers to the starcrossed lovers shit, and I am not immune to it, it's FACINATING, like what was the dynamic here

But also we don't even know when Dragon left the marines and when he and Crocodile first met, so for all we know it could've been some real enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies shit AND THAT'S SO INTERESTING

(Also the mere concept that Dragon could've been chasing Crocodile around kinda like Smoker tried to chase Luffy, only for Crocodile to become a Shichibukai and Dragon having to give up because they're on the same side now (kinda). Like. That is so fucking funny. And then he leaves the Marines to start a revolution. Or just out of spite dshgjdgs)

Then there's the absolutely hysterical part where Crocodile is the meanest, most intimidating, standoff-ish asshole around. So the idea Dragon was fucking into that is INCREDIBLE. THIS MAN LIKES BEING BULLIED DFSHFKGHFGJHDS (It's possible Young Croc might've been less mean but it's funnier if he wasn't)

And yeah. Somehow. In complete secret. A romance blooms.

And then there's a baby.

And Crocodile transes his gender.

And there's a divorce.

And 17 years later Crocodile has commited dozens of unforgivable warcrimes that are almost exactly the kind of things Dragon wanted to stop the government from doing to begin with.

Mind you, I don't actually think there's coming back from that, this relationship was burned to the ground and the ashes blown away by wind, there is nothing left

But could you imagine if despite the anger and the hurt and the warcrimes they still somehow loved each other

I would just

#Moon posting #Crocodad #Sir Crocodile #Monkey D Dragon #Dragodile #OP Meta #I keep on mentioning Dragodile Divorce but to be fair we don't even know if they had been married #All we do have is the fact that Crocodile Very Specifically doesn't wear a ring on his ring finger (in the manga) #(First half of Alabasta it's his middle finger but from the second half onwards it's consistently been his ring finger) #And there's that SBS where a person asked if the Shichibukai were gonna remain single etc and if they had any kids #And Oda was like ''hMmM I wOnDeR iF aNy oF tHeM hAvE bEeN mArRiEd... Anyway I imagine their kids would be like this'' #And then very very specifically he only did Doflamingo Mihawk and **Crocodile** #So like. If Crocodad Real. The two could've been married briefly (in secret). Probably just engaged in my personal opinion #Also like. Like we all know Iva's Magic HRT is POWERFUL STUFF right #There is something so deeply tragic to me about the just the mental image #Of Crocodile trying to put on his engagement ring post-HRT only to realize it doesn't fit his massive man hand #Like a horrible premonition of how this relationship was going to end #Even if he was the same on the inside he no longer literally fit the mere concept of the woman Dragon had fallen in love with #Can you imagine the series of emotions Crocodile would've gone through realizing that #Or who knows maybe he realized it all much earlier-- when and however the fuck he decided to get HRT from Iva-chan #There is much to be said about One Piece's running theme of loneliness and the loneliness queer people experience #God Oda please I need this man's backstory #I need to know what the fuck happened #I NEED TO KNOW HOW THE DIVORCE HAPPENED #NGL there's a part of me that almost hopes Dragon was Objectively Horrible (in a heated moment that he really regrets) #Just so Crocodile could be at least a little justified in being at resentful towards Dragon #I dunno it would not sit too well with me if the Cishet Man Dragon was 100% In The Right And Never Did Anything Wrong #And then it's the transgender man who does all the morally questionable horrible shit because he's an evil queer #(There's more than plenty of positive queer rep in OP to balance out one (1) evil trans character don't get me wrong) #(But it would be sad if Crocodile was An Evil Queer especially because he's the one who has transitioned)

The more time I spend explaining Tolkien lore to my brother the more I realize that Tolkien was just batshit insane

Ok since I know you're the god of all things barbatos, I was wondering if you (or a follower) remembered a fanart of him? It was barbatos getting dressed for the day, like shirt, pants, I think a sash(?), jacket etc. (all the stages of getting dressed was on 1 page) it wasn't chibi or any extremely different style than the game style either. I found it I think 2 years ago? Like I have searched high and low and I can't find it 😭 and I love it so much

Dearest anon. I am trying to respond to your ask in a normal way, but I just end up keysmashing about being called the god of all things Barbatos. I just- I mean- me??? Really?!? a;daflkdfkjf

Anyway, as it turns out, I think I have what you're looking for. I could say that I obtained the location of this post using my godly powers, but the reality is that I'm just really good at Google Fu.

Is this it?

If so, please note that this a repost that states the poster had permission from the artist to post it. I clicked on the link to the artist's twitter, but it seems to be inactive? Their art is very good though. I love the way they drew Barb getting dressed! (Also his little butler sash is called a cumberbund!)

Anyway, I hope that's it! If not, I do recommend using a standard web search engine for fanart that's older than like a couple months. Because you will never find that using the Tumblr search lol. It's only good for recent stuff. And even then it's iffy!

#I actually used Duck Duck Go and not Google #but Duck Duck Go Fu just doesn't have the same ring to it #anyway you can always just ask me when you're looking for Barb stuff #I'll be your Barbatos search engine :) #obey me barbatos #anon asks #misc answers

If part-Xandarian Sam becomes a thing, Sam would have to change his tagline I think. It's going to be tricky to explain you're only half human if the entire world and then some thinks of you as the Human Rocket

also i have to say there's smth consistently eye-rolly about the idea of going "oh you can't blame me for leaving her there !! i thought they were good people !! i didn't think they would do anything bad to her !!! that's why i left her there i thought she was safe !!!" as if "they" even broke that trust. according to literally all accounts the incident in question happened before you left and nothing progressed further after you were gone. accusing "them" of being horrible nasty people when again, the only wrongdoing alleged at all was on the part of one of them ???? like you can just say that while drunk you didn't make the right judgement call and once you woke up sober you checked in with your friend because thinking back you were worried abt her comfort levels without crying wolf about how you simultaneously "thought they were good safe people" and they took advantage of that after you left (by doing nothing after you left, because the whole incident being described here happened with you in the room) and also knew she was uncomfortable which is why you checked on her immediately (which is somehow being used to blame two people who had zero access to the texts asking her if she was comfortable at all and therefore made the assumptions that she was comfortable based on what they themselves saw)

#like no one took advantage of your trust after you left the whole thing did in fact happen while you were in the room #if they /were/ the monsters you feel like painting them as then yeah it would've been really bad for you to leave her in that environment ! #but uh things literally never progressed further than they did while you were in the room #like at first i thought you didn't know the same way dr eam apparently didn't know #but no the narrative now is apparently that you knew ? but didn't do anything? and assumed she was okay? but that she was uncomfortable? #or whatever? #which is like. cool you can just say that your drunk brain didn't really ring the alarm bells as much as they shouldve #when you apparently noticed in the moment that she looked uncomfortable and didn't do anything #that doesn't change anything abt what discomfort other people might have perceived as Not Her Best Friend #and that also doesn't mean that you were somehow betrayed bc you trusted them not to be terrible people when you left her there #bc . nothing. in fact. happened . after you left her there. #and the whole 'incident' being described in this whole situation happened WITH YOU RIGHT THERE . #anyway excuse my frustration

#be deadly fucking serious rn PLEASE whatttt. that post that's like 'parents will say something that shapes you as a person #but for them it was just another tuesday' like WHAT JUST HAPPENED #basically if you've been following me since i went to uni then you know first year was an... interesting time for me and my mum #we rowed all the time and it's the most unsettled our relationship has ever been and i do truly believe it was just some unfortunate #external factors like me leaving home would rock the boat enough it was always gonna rejig our dynamic #but on top of that i was her LAST child to fly the nest which she hated AND my sister was in germany being insanely dependent on my mum #so i got sidelined a lot which was shitty at the time but i get it now like im still a bit bitter bc being the eldest everything my sister #does is an exciting first and our age gap means typically our academic big moments tend to cross over #so my a-levels happened during her first year of uni so for me a-levels were the biggest thing ever but ofc her thing was bigger #but when she did HER a-levels it was the biggest thing ever and i was /just/ doing gcses etc and germany was the same #like it was JUST my first year of uni bc meanwhile my sister was living alone in a foreign country. so that sucks and my mum was #defo focused on my sister and i wasn't in a position to be like 'hey i know it doesn't seem like it now you've got one kid through it #but going to university and settling in for the first year is still an insanely stressful and lonely time so please pay attention to me' #and all in all me and my mum just STRUGGLED we fought A LOT and not petty rows either they were really emotionally heavy all the time #and basically what's caused this post is that she said about america 'it'll be the longest ive been away from you' #and i know what she meant like a month out of england is the biggest thing ive ever done and im not even in EUROPE so this is huge #but i kinda said like 'im pretty sure i went a month in first year a couple times without visiting?' AND I MEANT IT CASUAL #BC I AM PRETTY SURE IT'S TRUE LIKE I WASNT EAGER TO GO HOME I WENT SOME WEEKS NOT EVEN RINGING #which REALLY shows how strained it must have been at the time. and she responds with confusion so i pointed out that first year #wasn't a great time for us and again still being casual bc it's such a fundamental truth for me that first year was Bad for me and mum #and she just blinks at me like 'what are you talking about' what. WHAT. like i knew she wasn't paying much attention to me then #but it made me MISERABLE for an entire YEAR like boom can testify bc they had to deal with my bs over the phone the entire time #and my mum just. didn't even notice that we weren't doing well. what. what the fuck even..... baffled by this actually #like i am REELING from this i feel like she just tipped the fundamentals of my world with that #hella goes home

My mom was yelling at me to get to the TV because there was a round of Zelda questions on University Challenge (a pompous British quiz show, for anyone unfamiliar.) Anyway, at one point the presenter is talking about OOT but because it's University Challenge and everything must be Sophisticated™️ he refers to an ocarina as a "globular flute." and now I'm losing my goddamn mind thinking about someone calling it that in the game.

"I like your flute, Link."

"...My what?"

"Your flute! Your globular flute!"

So I'm sketching lotr characters, using screenshots as references, and I just noticed how fucking weird the elves look.

I am very much not a visual person, so I tend to not notice these kinds of things unless they're back to back, but like -

Take Eowyn, for example. She has freckles, her hair isn't tidy most of the time, she has eyebags, there's dirt in her face on the battlefield. She looks like a real person, is what I'm trying to say.

Galadriel? Airbrushed. It looks like someone deleted every single bit of asymnetry. No imperfections. Not one wrinkle. Every pore looks like it is sealed shut. (Does she have pores? Not important)

And I KNOW that they probably DID airbrush her, and I KNOW that she is probably wearing tons and tons of makeup, but in universe, this is fucking eerie, okay?? I love this.

#this is probably also why Elrond never felt like one of the elves to me in the movie #don't get me wrong #the actor did a good job #(i admit that i also don't like the charakterization though so i might be biased) #but he just doesn't have the same Airbrushed Look that all others do (Arwen too so you can't tell me it's because he's technically not an #elf) #fun detail #elves #lord of the rings #eowyn #galadriel
