Yorki and ‘His Illness’;

Oda really knew how to drive the knife in when it comes to the story of Yorki and his crew, man…

From the choice of scenes before we get to see the bed-ridden body to the actual real world equivalents, its really rough on the heart.

What we knew about Yorki, from the scenes right before the announcement of his illness getting worse, is both his confidence and his strength.

The scene we get to see is his crew surrounding his brand new bounty, Yorki cheering and proudly proclaiming his joy for it. We see the great swaft of muscles on him, his chest fully exposed and his hair bright and fluffy along his shoulders. His face is clear, his arms fill out his coat, which is important later on, and he holds such a pride that he reminds me quite a lot of Luffy. We see him break up fights, offering advice to his men and we see him joking and drinking alongside his caring crew… and Brook. Brook is always by his side, during the mornings when he brushes his teeth, to the night when they drink side by side. They’re always together.

[ buff pirate cowboy! ] Until they’re not. Now comes the topic that may be a bit rough, the real life equivalent of what we see Yorki suffering from. I'll list the symptoms and y’all can make what assumptions you wish, and again, I’m not truthfully claiming its any REAL ILLNESS, but I mean simply it is inspired by, acting the same and such. We see a cold compress, so it’s bothering his body temperature. We see sunlit windows, open to the fresh air as if that could help. We see spotting across his face, and hands; small wounds, growing in number. We see his hair, like a mock halo loosely scattered across the pillow he lays in, and it’s stringy now, not glossy or kept. His mouth his covered by a mask, so they believe its airborne/touch. These sound to me, a lot like a certain sickness, one passed by blood which is interesting given the scenes we see before this are Yorki and the members who now are sick, sword fighting with a rival crew. The doctor states he's unsure what it is, but is treating it best he can, as what he believes it to be is unknown. But knowing what we do on old methods of that certain sickness, it would make sense. The mask helps, the spit and body fluids being a factor, but the idea of sunlight and fresh air helping is an olden falsehood. The men come into the room, and Yorki speaks to them through horse coughs, offering words of encouragement and laughing through the mask as they shuffle out. They know the truth of this serious matter, and Yorki does too. They leave, each crying their hearts out for perhaps they did not realize the truthful change until that moment. Brook certainly looks perturbed, staring blankly ahead at the bed. Note, most do not get too close to the bed, standing feet away, and not touching Yorki.

What a physical change from the man we saw before. But not too much mentally… or has it. He has a mask, mentally and physically still up; he gives them hope, tries, but… they see through it after months of his brushing off of the sickness perhaps.

After everyone leaves, Brook remains to stand, away from the bed until called. Called. Yorki calls to him, stating his name as he always did. “Brook.” “Yes.” And Brook comes closer, but not quite to the bedside, staring ahead with a blank expression. Than Yorki leans over, and grabs his hand, and in a flash of a moment Oda CHOSE for us to see, Brook looks disgusted. He grimences, brow furrowing at the wounded hand that touches him, but than we see what he sees lying in the bed; a weeping, broken husk. Yorki has begun to weep, sobbing as his confident facade is broken and melted away in front of his Vice-Captian. And Brook melts too, dropping to his knees and forgetting all of these ideas of illness, tossing any safety away for his crew and himself just to make Yorki feel seen, or perhaps because of his own need to love his dying partner. He clutches Yorki’s hand, and now we see the true damage the illness has done; Yorki’s wrist is thinner than Brooks. His arm is gaunt, and we see the bone. He is withering away, has been for months it seems, but Yorki always was good at excusing it with a confident smile. But now, in the bed, unable to stand and wracked and eaten away by something we can only claim perhaps as some blood related illness, he weeps before his partner. “Brook-” “YES? My Captain?” “Give them HOPE.”

I’ll just include the rest of the scene here for your own enjoyment.

I could dive into the fact that Brook believes he failed those words, or the fact the crew did not just die of poison, and their deaths were so gruesome the anime had to censor it. The fact Brook continues to “give the crew hope…” or the way he mentions he may not have made it out of the triangle alive.

However! That is for another day.

I hope it doesn’t count as a spoiler… I am currently reading Three Comrades, and the narrator remembers Leer, Müller and Kemmerich

And we learn that Kat had a sick wife at home and A CHILD HE NEVER GOT TO KNOW I’M GONNA CRY WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO UUUSSSS

I also cried like a baby in The Road Back when Ernst wished that Haie, Kat and Paul were with him

Idk I just feel very very alone being someone who hates and is humiliated by being patronised and infantilised but also is someone who doesn’t have the. Markers of what defines adulthood. Which can partially be attributed to the UK’s job and housing markets (the lose lose of it being an expensive area that isn’t London or near London! Everywhere is expensive but there’s so few jobs!) but also. I’m cognitively and developmentally behind my peers. I’m not a savant autistic. I can’t cope with so many things others take for granted. Why wouldn’t I be treated like a child, when many children can cope with life easier than me.

#horrible combination of the fact that intelligence is the trait I value most #and having to accept I’m just really not very smart at all. #it’s heartbreaking #cuckoo

Epic Gob desperately trying to convince himself that maybe one day his dad will love him moment!

The stark comparison between how Gob brushes off his dad’s awful behavior and is still loyal when he really shouldn’t be affording his dad that dedication and his dad’s entire hatred of Gob and not affording him any kindness or love.

I like the idea of Gob doodling a lot. It would be a creative thing and a way he could express himself that could fly under the radar. The comic takes place during early high school years, I’d say.

We’re you the one who wrote Young and Menace? Did it get deleted? 🥲 I was half way through it and then it said ao3 couldn’t find the work I was looking for.

ahh sorry it was not me, but another author / artist who afaik has left the fandom to work on original projects (unpheenix was the name). i share your grief about fics that get removed, i wish authors would make them anon or abandon them instead, but ultimately it’s not up to anyone but them 😔

#it’s heartbreaking #i’m sorry #but yeah i believe the fics got pulled and the blog deleted #fanfic stuff #obikin

The saddest part of season 1 for me is the quarry. They found Will’s body and the police theorized that he fell on accident. The town believes that he was killed for being gay, either pushed or jumped. Troy recreates what he believes happened to Will with Mike. He forces Mike to jump. Mike had just lost El, their only chance of finding Will. He lost Will and El and his friendship with Lucas was on the rocks. He couldn’t save his other friends so he decides to save the only friend he has left, Dustin. He steps off.

It’s even worse when you consider that Mike blamed himself. Will left Mike’s house before he went missing. Mike yelled at El, causing her to run away. Mike’s fight with Lucas separated them. Troy is targeting Dustin because Mike stood up to him. He pushed everyone away so he had one chance left. One person he knew he could save.

If El hadn’t saved Mike, he would have died in the same place they found Will. Mike knew this. What would the town think? That he died in grief for his gay best friend.

having a job is weird, because my 47 year old friend named Robert disappeared last week and i’m probably never going to see him again

#i didn’t know anything about him #but still #it’s heartbreaking

[seasurfacefullofclouds1]

My theory is bigger than me is the first single because Louis wanted that song as the ending to his documentary (perfect ending if you think about it and we all know he thinks heart over head even to business decisions sometimes) and the second single is going to be the one where they go all out with payola. Idk Im probably wrong but people keep pointing out how some of the other songs are perfect for radio (probably better for playlists as well as dance/synth vibes can go in more categories) .

Tbh I don’t think the promo is going to be good. But we have a good album coming and I’ll have to make peace with my disappointment.

#it’s heartbreaking #to go through this year after year #don’t know what else to say #louis tomlinson

[johnlennonofficial]

actually tbh social media is SCARY!! you see a video of someone doing something really shitty and all the comments are “what’s their name?? where are they from?? who knows them??” and it’s like a fucking witch hunt to track down this person. i literally don’t care what evil someone does, the power of the internet is fucking scary and the people acting from behind the screens don’t realize how much their small comments are contributing to the mass, traumatizing terror the receiver will endure

#tiktok esp #it’s heartbreaking #i know we all want justice but take a breather pls
