#the banter is wonderful

[shyvioletlife]

Two episodes into the live action one piece and I already adore it to bits!! They’re doing such a fantastic job of maintaining the good and goofy nature of the show, still making it more crunchy and real (they genuinely made buggy menacing which is absolutely fucking wild) and have done a great job altering the content in a way that works much better for a live action storytelling style. Truly this is everything I could have wanted and more!

I’m especially appreciative of how they altered the story of the gathering of the crew and have increased the external stakes a bit so that you feel more invested in the larger world off the bat. That has always been a criticism of one piece I’ve seen is that it takes a while to really get invested in the world because of how sparse information is until it becomes relevant. While personally I don’t mind the slow pace of world building at the beginning I’ve also been a fan for sixteen years and the need to have investment of the larger world immediately is hardly a priority when you’re 11 years old. At that age you just care that luffy is fun, the people you meet are interesting, and the stories are exciting. The live action has the benefit of knowing the world at large as it is now and being able to foreshadow those external parties we otherwise only got allusions to through the cover stories (which were never even adapted in the anime for the most part) as well as rework how we meet everyone as necessary is wonderful.

Spoilers under the cut (including down the line spoilers, not just for the first couple episodes!!):

Having Nami and zoro meet luffy at the same time in shells town while dealing with Morgan really helps smooth out the time it takes for them to partner with luffy and gives us more time to spend with all of their characters which is an absolute win in my book. I love that we’re already foreshadowing baroque works by witnessing zoro’s meeting with Mr 7, nami’s ‘betrayal’ by having her contact arlong at the end of episode 2, and Garp’s eventual meeting with luffy later on in the series as well as coby’s rise in the marines. Threading Garp in already by introducing him at Rogers execution and then having him be a constant shadow dogging luffy’s rise to power in the background is honestly such a fantastic move and I’m already gleeful at the payoff of the gramps joke reveal that’s on the distant horizon.

Even though I’m only on episode two I already adore the crew dynamics and how you can see zoro’s loyalty taking hold to luffy, as well as the conflicting nature of nami’s partnership and the beginnings of her desperately wanting to actually be a member of this little gang of pirates. Truly, every time Iñaki is on screen I’m immediately so happy because that’s my boy!! That’s Luffy! Hes doing such a good job!!

#one piece live action #opla #chefs kiss #god I can’t wait to be back home from work so I can watch the rest of the episodes #it’s just so good #the crew put a lot of love into it and you can really tell #it’s cheesy #it’s goofy #it’s heartfelt #the banter is wonderful #luffy zoro and nami are a delight every time they’re on screen #I’m just happy #one piece

I haven't been able to stop thinking about Skizz saying "When God made Tango, he's like: I'm gonna give you the biggest brain in the World, but, I don't need the World feeling too inferior to you, so I'm gonna make you a little bit stupid. But the only way I can do that is to make it so that you can't see your own brilliance."

I've never had this before where I passively listen to people talking and then later feverishly think back to it like "hold on that was really thought-provoking. Where did I hear that?" I've just been thinking about Tango and I kept remembering this approximate quote about him being such an exceptional creator cursed with not seeing the value in his own work (so I went on a hunt and just now found it lol, it's from this video) and that's so profound to me. Because I think all of us artists are cursed with this at some point. Well, you're all brilliant, it could be that God just chose that you'd be too powerful to realize just how much. But if you can't think that about yourself then just think of Skizz saying that about you because he would. Or think of yourself as a Tango, and then realize how awesome Tango is, and so that must mean that you're awesome too

#blabber #tangotek #skizzleman #skizz and tango make such a wonderful dynamic and this. has touched my heart #like ok funny casual banter but actually Ive been thinking about this so much you have no idea #tango tek

Dragon Age Banter 2/???

Solas & Dorian

#dragon age #dragon age inquisition #dai #dorian pavus #solas #my art #god i love this banter so much #i wonder if solas is seeing a bit of himself in dorian #the shame and wish to do better from before he freed his people #and so hes trying to nudge dorian down the right path in hopes that he can succeed where solas himself failed #kfbakjsbfnlasjnfd #this one is a lot more serious then the last one #banter comics

You absolute buffoons.

The love square is not four separate ships. It’s four different dynamics of the same ship.

You can absolutely prefer one over the other and dislike one the most. But if you ship one, you ship them all.

THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT

#Like of course we all have favorite dynamics #Some of us like the blushes and stammering and some like the banter #Some of us like goofing off and desperation and flirting and some of us like normal teenage romance #And some like all four! #How wonderful it is that THEY’RE THE SAME PEOPLE AND THEY DELIVER ALL FOUR #When they get together at the end of the show #And we know they will #All four dynamics will be canon #So just. Breathe. #Marichat #LadyNoir #Adrinette #Adrienette #Ladrien #Ladybug #Chat Noir #Miraculous Ladybug #Miraculous #Marinette #Marinette Dupain Cheng #Adrien #Adrien Agreste #ML #Miraculous season 5 #Miraculous Ladybug season 5 #Mine

Are they brothers? Are they lovers? Are they vehicles? Who knows, but I love them! And I am. very excited for Phantom X.

Joker did something stupid

#myart #persona 5 #persona 5 phantom x #their potential banter keeps me awake at night #and it occured to me how lucky Joker is that Mona's a cat and not a fucking big-ass and suspicious owl #poor wonder #i wonder how often people stare at him when they see him talking to an owl in the middle of the city

it's so weird, I keep expecting to hear the Buzzfeed Unsolved sounds and motifs and mottos but it's NOT that, but it's obviously still Ryan and Shane so it's SO similar

#surreal and wonderful #we get to see their faces a lot more with their banter which is fun #I'll kinda miss that ugly blue and yellow text though #ghost files lb #ghost files spoilers #ghost files

Napoleon: "But don't fret about it." Illya: "But I do. Fret." Napoleon: "Well, don't. I'm taking care of it." Illya: "With a sprained knee?" Napoleon: "Well, only one extremity is out of order. The other one is working overtime." Illya: "Well, that must be quite a strain for you."

Also while I'm here:

YES you can call me Emry as casually as you like, we are FRIENDS now and I will do my best to get your names (just pls stay respectful, I've been extremely lucky to only have wonderful people in my anons)

And I will take any honorific or descriptor you think fits/is funny, I've been called miss emry and I've been called mr stars and I did a happy little laugh at both

I don't offend easily at all and i love talking to you all, so in case you've been wondering about approaching me: here u go, please do 💕

#i know some people have the stance of 'you dont know me dont act over familiar' #which is incredibly valid of them #bc that usually means theyve been approached inappropriately or someone jumps straight to actual insults #without an actual boundary of what counts as 'joking' #but that hasnt been my experience so far! #im not big enough yet to get real hate or anything and also im just v fortunate #to have only wonderful people around #so we are Friends. as long as youre nice to me 💋 #though i do love a good banter #and if youre really worried about referring to me #you can err on the side of neutral or feminine 💕 #not art sorry guys #about me #now that we've all started talking for realsies lol

I need to know if Scar is the Watchers' favorite and they like to stir up crap with him, or if they're pissed that he defies the order they set by holding something from a previous life game so deep in his memory

Or if they're just pissed at Grian who, to his own dismay, buried himself into someone's memory when he's the only one who's supposed to remember past lives. And if the Watchers are using Scar to purposefully punish and mock the Grian who was only ever meant to watch. Or if it's all Scar, to consciously show that he hasn't forgotten and he knows Grian hasn't either. What if the Watchers (who believe to be manipulating him), like so many others have, see him as an oblivious fool, and what if Scar plays into that notion yet again as one of his greatest strengths

#so many theories to be had so little time. wondering whether traffic Scar does this consciously or not is driving me nuts #we have had so many callbacks to prev life series in random banter of course but when they do THAT to Scar's skin. Oolala #desert duo #scarian #I like the whole Watcher deal but I want to believe Scar is also defying them whether the Watchers realize it or not #too many thoughts and too much angst we love it here

Silas: Just be yourself. Orion: 'Be myself'? Silas, I have one day to win Rosalind's family over. How long did it take before you guys started liking me? Alisa: Couple weeks. Phoebe: Six months. Oliver: Jury’s still out. Orion: See, Silas? 'Be myself'. What kind of garbage advice is that?

Western precure fandom needs to log off twitter for a day and go outside. Catch some air idk. Leave my poor boy Satoru alone.

He has the AUDACITY to appear for a few seconds in the opening, sitting next to Iroha and talking to her. And a bunch of grown ups on twitter are having a meltdown cause "OMG ROMANCE CONFIRMED DAMN HETEROS IN MY PRECURE!"

Even saw someone with no reading comprehension already accusing him of being an adult and "grooming Iroha".

Nah man. We're gonna have a whole year of weirdos shipping a middle school girl with her own dog for that sweet yuri crumbs, but a friendly classmate is a spawn of satan simply for existing.

Can't wait for Satoru and his rabbit to become a duo of mid-season male Cures to give western precure fans an aneurysm.
