#wipwednesday provided with zero context! tonally this does not fit the rest of the piece At All but i suppose that’s the fun of it, right. haha wonder what they could be doing :eyesemoji: jk luffy’s about to suplex him into the dirt and say i hope you like worms! why are you mad. stop ignoring me. your nose is only mostly broken. (haha unless--)
luffy said “i’m rubber and you’re you :)” and zoro said “yeah ok captain” and then woke up in his cot like “wait a minute”
“You’re a fucking moron,” Zoro says, and Luffy’s face twists into a pout before morphing into a wide grin in the next second, a sharp, joyful trill spilling out of him just like it always does when he’s blunt.
His sandals squish into the clay, and he knows Franky’s gonna gripe at them for trailing mud all across the deck, but Luffy laughs and he doesn’t care. Doesn’t care because it doesn’t matter—Luffy’s laughing and he’s happy, and Zoro’s going to scrounge up every last scrap of it he can because soon enough all he’s going to be running on is steam and spite.
Luffy laughs and says “Zoro’s mean” and he grunts “yeah” which only makes him laugh harder. Tears gather in the corner of his eyes, and it’s really not that funny, but it’s also hilarious, and a weight cracks in his chest, leaving fragments of pebbles gathering in his lungs.
“You’re so—you’re so stupid,” Luffy tells him, wobbling for a second as he steps into a puddle and giggles. Zoro watches him go and considers shoving him, just to get a rise out of him or see if his arms pinwheel, but then he’d probably lurch back and drag Zoro down with him, and he doesn’t feel like picking mud out of his teeth.
“How am I stupid?” He reaches out and gives his sleeve a solid yank before Luffy can send himself careening face first into a tree.
“Dunno,” he says, body languid and loose before he’s digging his heels in and shifting his weight until he can jab his arm back into Zoro, knocking his elbow into his gut and his free hand flies out to wind around the back of his neck, “you just are.”
His fingers are warm and grimy, dry like salty sea air and a day spent exploring in the sun. Luffy scritches dirt into the short hairs at the base of his skull, and he smiles up at him, wide and open mouthed, and Zoro stares at him like a moron before Luffy tugs.

seeing some people's reaction to weird gamer men oversexualizing kiriko is "mauga is right there, half naked, with serveral pin-up sprays" and while i do agree to an extent, i do feel like alot of people are kind of ignoring like. the racial element of mauga's sexualization, like i like mauga, he's hot, but the second i saw him in the short story, i wasn't a big fan of the whole "big savage brown indigenious guy" and it feels like very few people are pointing that out.
RIGHT LIKE. we cannot fix "gamer men fixate on fictional asian girls to a violent degree, usually in a racist way or enabling racist tropes already present in the character" with "gamer girls fixate on fictional brown men to a violent degree in a racist way or enabling racist tropes present in the character" like you guys are part of the same problemmmmmmm youre doing the same thinggg its not better because youre doing it to men like.
i think some people only want to see the kiriko problem as misogyny and while im not going to even pretend that ISNT a massive part of it, theres still like. a reason kiriko and d.va and mei are fascinations for these dudes. there is a pointed difference between the way these three get spoken about compared to their white counterparts (and their dark-skinned counterparts too - look at the responses to illari for a really easy comparison to how kiriko is treated). their ~exoticism~ as asian women is part of the appeal. even if you dont just wanna take the way dudes online treat them (like making a joke that shes "obvious pornbait" for speaking japanese and using JSL) as evidence of that, look at their marketing. kirikos whole thing is atheleisure traditional, shes got her Mystical Japanese Spiritualism Ninja Powers and her magic doggy and they constantly put her in japanese and korean fashion, and dva has been constantly crossing over with korean merch companies. i cant help but notice theres no brazilian IP crossovers or merch launches for lucio, or any attempt to Sell Peru To Gamers for illari. they couldnt even pick a town in Samoa to name maugas map after. these people wouldn't buy that stuff because it's not fetishized in the same way asia is.
but like. a lot of the people trying to Gotcha these racist dudes with an asian fetish just whip out their favourite racist tropes instead and its a really bad look. like you guys dont wanna examine how your examples of The Characters Its Okay To Hypersexualize are all brown? even the people who wanna fuck cassidy dont talk about him like this. or like. fuck if you want a good comparison for mauga lets look at roadhog. big half-naked tank who theyve been playing up a sexual energy/comic relief duology on since day one with racially insensitive cosmetic options. nobody treats it like its completely normal to talk about him that way. the dev team isnt pushing pinups of him out. he isnt flexing his boobs in trailers. hes a white dude*, so he gets the bare minimum dignity of being treated normally. incidentially hot, maybe, but for the most part his character is sold on being cool , funny and scary. mauga is being sold 50% on being a Sexy Rogue Love Interest and 50% on. releasing late. they put in so little effort for him to be anything else despite hyping him up as suuuper significant to the lore and a major gamechanger its almost embarrassing to watch. (this is why that short annoyed me so much for anyone keeping track).

the pandemic was and still is a horrifying threat but there was something about returning to my old job after my country's very first lockdown and like, finding that my female coworkers had stopped wearing makeup every day, my male coworkers had grown out their hair and beards, and like half of us were suddenly fat and the other half was suddenly jacked because we'd all out found what mattered to US and ONLY us in those months we'd spent locked up with ourselves...... imagine a world where everyone had been allowed to actually finish that thought instead of being forced to return to the grind as if nothing had ever happened

Will you be commenting on the Taylor drama?
I love the way this was worded, like I'm one of the siblings on Succession and the press has cornered me outside my penthouse to ask if I'll be releasing a statement on my family's latest scandal. Hehehe anyways.
Sorry but I just don't understand how anyone is shocked. Truly what has that woman ever done to successfully convince people that this is out of character for her. Like I don't want to diminish anyone's pain or anything but I see all these stans on here and over on Twitter in all this distress, having their very first epiphanies like "Hold on . . . does Taylor . . . suck??" And I kinda just have to chuckle at them cause like bless your hearts babes, but omg catch UP 😭
Lol because 1) she is a severely emotionally stunted person who thinks edgy British "bad boys" are hot like she's 12 years old, 2) she has no true deeply-held moral principles outside of issues that directly affect herself, and 3) truthfully, she seems to be suffering from a serious crisis of identity after the end of the longest and most significant romantic relationship of her life, and in my opinion is pretty clearly desperate to prove something to the world/her ex/herself.
The first reason is cringe but not news to longtime viewers, the second reason is pathetic but also not news (to those who can be honest with themselves), and the third is . . . understandable in some sense, but not pitiable enough to make me willing to humor this insufferable little episode she's having. I wish her luck on this humiliating rebound journey, but she is gonna have to walk that road on her own.
Normally, I always roll my eyes when people make these kinds of jokes, but given the circumstances I feel justified in saying: I can't wait to hear the breakup song about him, sis 🤡

WHAT IS YOUR CURSE?
THE SHADOW.
Something walks behind you, nipping at your heels. You know the shape it takes, though you cannot see it. You think you know.
Its edges look like yours, but clean and concise, close-cut lines articulated into iridescent air. Turn around and catch it-- and it slides away. Your shadow shines and you are blinded. You half-hear it whispering words that stick to your skin like mist and evaporate under your gaze, but they shake you. Even their echoes are true. It knows you. It wears your skin. It is more you than you are. Are you the chaser? Are you the shadow? Which, really, would you rather be?
Walk backwards if you must.
You must keep looking back.

These organizations supporting KOSA going through while claiming they want to help marginalized kids are actually so disgusting to me. The posts they make about Nex is just virtue signaling & words when their actions say let’s make things worse for these children.
I’m gonna be 100% honest, they should keep that kid’s name out of their damn mouths so long as they support KOSA. Like actually fuck you & eat shit. Actions speak louder than words, traitorous scumbags. You don’t care, you care about your stakeholders more.
Your organization can only thrive & exist so long as there’s a problem to donate towards solving. Of course you would support KOSA, you need a problem to keep existing in order to look like the good guys & solve it. Just go mask off & call us slurs & your “customers” at this point, it would be less disgusting than covering it up behind kind words.
