Morgan, picking up the phone while not looking: Hey baby girl, tell me something I wanna hear.

Hotch, deadpan: There’s been another homicide, chocolate thunder.

Not only should Ace be more of a feral unhinged jungle child who’s like barely wearing a mask of civility for convenience sake, but also: it should be kind of a Bit.

Like, Ace learned the absolute bare minimum of socialization (meaning, wipe your ass and wash your hands) from Dadan and the bandits, but that was literally it until he met Sabo. Ace knew like a sparse handful of words — enough to get his point across, but it’s not like he really wanted to have conversations with the bandits anyway — but the infinite majority of his early childhood was spent alone in the jungle. Then he teams up with Sabo, who arguably has too much socializing, and while they do trade skills and teach each other some stuff, for the most part they comfortably fill their niches. Sabo can do all the talking and manipulating for both of them. Ace is more than happy to stand at his shoulder and bare his teeth like the wild animal he is.

He asks Makino for a manners lesson literally exclusively so he can thank the dude who saved Luffy’s life, and then later when Sabo is gone Ace sticks with the lessons because now he has to be the brother who’s good at talking, and then it ends up being actually pretty convenient a skill to have, so he sticks with it.

But it is all very much pretend to him. Ace is putting on a front.

And I love thinking about the Whitebeards not only realizing the full extent to which their newest littlest brother was Literally Raised By Tigers but also that Ace is humoring them. He thinks they are the ones being ridiculous and crazy for all their societal rules (and they’re pirates! They barely even have those!) and he’s just playing along for his own entertainment. He’s making fun of them.

Ace runs up and playfully bites Thatch’s face as a greeting and while Thatch is yelling at him that people don’t do that Ace is just like oh haha that’s so silly you guys are so silly for that. Anyway. And then he bites Whitebeard, who just laughs.

Big fan of the ideas that: ~

Only Luffy and Sanji are allowed to handle Zoro's swords when he's unable to

Chopper activates every maternal instinct Zoro never knew he had and the crew is endlessly charmed by it

Kid and Killer have small crushes on Zoro and Luffy is not impressed Look I dont make the rules okay

Chopper, Law, and Marco are all good friends

Zoro has depression and chronic pain

Ace had the whitebeard crew wrapped around his finger

Robin and Law regularly discuss morbid things and it freaks everyone out

Devilfruit users heal just a little quicker than non users

Zoro and Perona have decided Mihawk is their father figure much to his displeasure, they send him fathers day cards

Luffy hugs the crew a lot and presses their forehead together when he's really happy

Makino is actually terrifying and all the ideas and theories that Shanks is gonna be bad are false because if he ever did anything shady she would destroy him. Desperately shoves fingers in ears and says lalalala really loud whenever someone theorizes about Shanks being the big baddie

Smoker actually respects a lot of the worst generation and he wants to toss himself into the sea when he realizes it

Everybody knows what happened at thriller bark

suegiku is absolutely insane like can we take a moment. at first their relationship is played off like a joke like haha tecchou watches ants and jouno hates him but man. man. the fact that tecchou is a man who places justice over everything, while jouno is a sadistic fuck who appears to have no moral code. but theyre partners!! tecchou reigns in jouno when he gets too out of hand. and THEN

tecchou wholeheartedly believing that jouno is a "hero that despises violence and protects the weak", when even the man who recruited jouno and inspired him to save others in the first place only did so because he thought jouno would be easy to use in villainy. of everyone, tecchou is the only one who believes in jouno:s goodness; the one who has spent the most time with him, the one who is known for being singleminded and terrifyingly focused when it comes to destroying evil, the one who's dumb as a brick and oblivious as hell. and he's right!! jouno refuses to join fukuchi. he proves fukuchi wrong. fukuchi was the one who originally saved him and gave him a second chance in helping others, and it was all so he could eventually use him as an assassin. and even though that was a lie, jouno still became a better person, and found someone that believes in him. GRAH.

SEASON TWO FOCUSES ON VOX AND HIS PAST WITH ALASTOR IS EXPANDED UPON?!?!??

WE WONN

[watcher-inthesky]

I ship RadioStatic so hard now but it is essential to me their relationship is the most toxic, bizarrely one sided thing in existence

Vox: *wants to fuck Alastor so bad it makes him look stupid* (see head literally exploding and shutting down power grid after Alastor talks at him (not to, at) for the first time in seven years)(also see him being the only overlord to really care Alastor is back lol)

Alastor: I have never imagined you naked, only dead :)

Also Alastor: Oh look! Vox is live talking about me, better skedaddle back to my new radio tower asap so I can announce my return to annoy him specifically :)

Worsties for life ❤💙❤💙

Alastor, Vox, and Smiles

Sooo I noticed in Episode 2 when we're introduced to Vox's character for the first time he spends a considerable amount of time forcibly putting on a smile when around other people.

For the cameras

Then for Velvette

And then when trying to calm Valentino down

Now that we have confirmation that Vox and Alastor used to be friends* because of the torn photo, Alastor's speech to Charlie about smiling to put up a facade for various reasons just highlights the similarities between Alastor and Vox. Almost like they have the same philosophy and tactics when it comes to manipulating those around them, huh?

(*I say "friends" because you don't just have pictures taken with mere "acquaintances", tear the so-called acquaintance out of the picture when mad, and then keep the torn photo for years and years. Vox didn't even throw away the torn part, the whole point of tearing someone out of a picture is to get rid of them and he straight up kept Alastor's torn half of the picture lol. And I don't think they were ever business partners because Alastor said "no" to "joining Vox's team". Plus, I highly doubt Vox would be as vehemently pissed off at Alastor if they were just acquaintances... So I feel like they were at the very least friends. Maybe even more than friends...)

Alastor is undoubtedly better than Vox at maintaining the facade, but still... I just think it's interesting that they share such a similar philosophy for interacting with others. Add to it that Alastor clearly knows how to press Vox's buttons (heh) so well that he can send him into a blackout and it's just more and more evident that they used to be close at one point. Close enough for Alastor to teach Vox some of his tricks for manipulation or Vox to pick up the same habits.

You guys know what a vee is. A vee is a type of poly relationship.

[watcher-inthesky]

The real reason he was gone for seven years.

[watcher-inthesky]

hey guys.

[watcher-inthesky]

SORRY FOR THE REUPLOAD SPAM, this is a lot of work ok!  Anyway, another silly set! Enjoy!

Y'know even in spite of how good IDW and earthspark megatron are I think tfp megatron is my favorite just for the melodrama and untapped comedic value. This bitch is so emotionally repressed and comically power hungry it circles all the way back to being thematically compelling. He comes back after a several year radio silence with armfuls of Robot Space Crack and immediately assumes power again like nothing ever happened. He throws vehicons off the wings of his ship. He has beef with a 14 year old girl. He abused the power of the anti-god that turns people into mindless drones and was surprised when said god tried to make him a mindless drone. His own ship came alive and tried to stage a mutiny. Optimus prime did a burnout on his face that one time. If someone made him express a genuine emotion besides rage he would spontaneously combust. I fucking love him
