Jaune: *on the job as Mantle crossing guard*
Mantle kid: *trips and skins his knee* Ow! *sniffles* 🥺
Jaune: 😱
Jaune: *starts glowing, preparing to use his semblance to heal the boo-boo*
Jaune: …wait, aura amping doesn’t work unless aura is unlocked! 🤔
Jaune: *shrugs* Oh, well! I’m sure nothing will come of unlocking a kid’s aura!
Jaune: *lays hands on Mantle kid* For it is in passing that blah, blah, blah…
Mantle kid: *starts glowing, scuffed knee heals itself* 😲
Jaune: There, all fixed! Unlocking aura was easier than I thought it would be! 😊
Children of Mantle: 🤩 *swarm around Jaune, excitedly asking to have their aura unlocked* Cool! I want to be all glowy! Me next!
Jaune: 🤔 Well, I guess I don’t see the harm…
Jaune: *starts glowing* Everyone line up!

Jaune: *sitting in an Atlas conference room*
Winter: *sitting across the table* 😡
Jaune: 😥
Winter: 😡
Jaune: …so…does this mean I’m fired…?
Winter: *through gritted teeth* Well, mister Arc…apparently there isn’t any law on the books prohibiting huntsmen on crossing guard duty from unlocking the aura of several dozen children without parental permission…
Winter: Do you know why?
Jaune: …because it puts a smile on the kids’ faces? 😅
Winter: BECAUSE NOBODY HAS EVER BEEN DUMB ENOUGH TO TRY SOMETHING SO RIDICULOUS!!! 🤬
Winter: BUT IT’S GOING TO BE A LAW NOW!!!!
Jaune: Aw, man…Nora’s going to be upset that I got a law named after me before she did… 😣

seeing these proposed and even passed laws banning minors from social media without parental consent is so terrifying. like aside from the "government collecting data abt what their citizens are doing online" and the implications for online anonymity, i remember being a young mentally ill queer kid in a homophobic abusive household and idk how i wouldve gotten thru it without my online friends and the escape of the internet. and if a law like this had passed and my parents had been made aware of all my social media accounts i would have been in so much trouble for being queer & nonchristian & interested in secular media & swearing & complaining abt my parents & mentally ill & having friends they didn't like & etc etc. idk i think it's super fucking dangerous and sets a dangerous precedent

[punk hazard/dressrosa arc spoiler heavy lawlu rambling]
recently I saw a video that was comparing luffy to naruto and the fact that luffy is not a hero when compared to naruto because naruto saved people even when the people that needed saving refused it (ie uchiha sasuke) but luffy? luffy saved countries on his selfish whim and all the other people he saved, he waited until they asked for it. he waited nami to ask for his help and robin to tell him she wanted to live.
except you know who? trafalgar law.
we could tell that law was planning on a suicide mission when he went to punk hazard on his own. he sent off his crew to zou and was wandering alone to find out more about the SAD factories and knew he risk angering doflamingo by destroying it. during that time, he saw an opportunity, formed that alliance with the strawhat and marched on to dressrosa.
retrospectively looking at it, there was no doubt that he was using the strawhat crew. he was putting them all in an unprecedented amount of danger by stepping on doflamingo's turf, the risk he wasn’t willing to put on his own crew that he sent away much earlier.
law definitely felt guilty over it.
at least for a little bit, when law watched luffy almost got his ass handed to him by doflamingo when law was helplessly restrained on the flower hill at the new king’s plateau and was making a fuss for the others to let him free despite his heavy injury until robin who could see through law’s intention and action had to say it: “luffy is here because of his own free will.”
after the deal at greenbit fell through and law found out doflamingo had been manipulating the press, he tried to break the alliance. threatened to kill luffy once luffy uncuffed him. but luffy just shut him up and lugged him all over the place like a sack of flour over his tiny shoulder and fought doflamingo till the end.
one could argue that luffy did that because rebecca asked him to, but revenge against doflamingo was also one of the things that occupied law’s the most since he lost cora-san. he just didn’t directly ask luffy to beat the shit out of doflamingo on his behalf. yet luffy did it anyway.
so back to the whole naruto vs luffy comparison at the beginning of this post? at least there’s one exception where luffy helped someone against his will and acted like a goddamn hero. and it is towards the damsel in distress that is trafalgar d water law.

Saw you mention a 600+ page comic of a modern au on pixiv, send the link please 🙏🙏🙏
Anon did you really think a 600+ page ongoing japanese comic would be entirely free on pixiv? They only post the preview and the rest is behind a pay wall 😔
I'M JOKING HAHAH it's free.
Gizagiza Family by SUPS:
^ First chapter, next chapter linked below the gallery.
Basically, a reincarnation AU with Law, Cora and Doffy living together at Doffy's apartment, everyone has memories from the other life. Law is in high school final year and plans to move out as soon as possible with Cora even though the two brothers don't have any serious dispute going on. Cora works as an accountant and unapologetically leeches off Doffy's money, meanwhile Law's PTSD from the previous life made him emotionally dependant on Cora. Doflamingo is helping out Law financially and appears to be saner than the other two combined, which is driving Law insane lol.
It's dialogue heavy and doesn't have a lot going on visually. The story is strictly only about the three of them. Doflamingo in particular has been fascinating to follow. Not that I'm knowledgeable about many fandoms but this is the longest fan comic I've come across, luckily it's about my favorite trio and deservingly it's very popular.

i forget that people don't just like... know all the things i do. like my family is so used to me being an encyclopedia of random bullshit that i forget most people don't know things like the year the titanic sank and who gregor mendel was and what the hope diamond is off the top of their heads. so basically it's like
my coworkers: trying to explain something to a kid/making a joke/etc.
me: oh yeah, like *random fact*
coworkers: why do you know that?
