#22 is gonna be great

[kopivie]

turning 22 tomorrow. for the first time in almost 6 years, i finally, FINALLY want to celebrate my birthday. i have to work of course, but i'm just... i feel so good. i've got the pre-birthday jitters again. i can finally see that i have friends and family who love me and want to celebrate with me. co-workers who insist on doing something for me/with me/trading my shift so i can relax on my birthday. i just..

i hate that it took so long. i'm so happy that i'm better now than i once was, but i feel so much regret that my teenage years were spent in such a deep depression.

then again, my 20s have only just begun. as a full grown adult now, i have the agency to reflect on my past and vow to never make those mistakes again. i can be better -- better than i once was, and better than i am now. the process of healing has already begun. it's already underway. but i can continue as i grow older.

it's 2:43 pm where i am right now. but here's to another year of life and growth.

(side note: got a job interview for a high scale place! if i can land this job in addition to the one i already have, i might be able to save enough money to get myself something nice for once, heheh)

#[ 🌱 — blah blah. ] #i'm just.. #i even have a countdown #people are excited for me #I'M excited! #it's so nice #and i'm finally feeling the emotions i was meant to feel #22 is gonna be great #it'll have its ups and downs #but what matters is how i handle it all #and if i can start the process of handling it/preparing for it now #then i'll be amazing when the time comes

Man's living in a place that's actively making him relive past trauma #Fit says he's carrying Pac in his backpack but I like to imagine that he just gave Pac a piggy back ride the entire way home :D #I imagined that for Purgatory too #it's cute #idk the whole idea of very traumatized characters being so comfortable around certain people #Idk the idea Pac feeling so safe around Fit #(despite being in a place that is actively stressing him out) #that he feels alright falling asleep and trusting him / Mike to protect him is sweet to me #Idk man I'm a big fan of the ''literal sleeping together'' trope #I love when characters take naps together it's so cute #esp when it's two traumatized characters with a lot of baggage / trust issues #It's nice #anyways I got way off topic with these tags LMAO sorry #I was gonna edit this down but I like the entire conversation so I'm leaving it as is #The YouTube editor living in my brain: Not great for viewer retension #Me: Shhhhhhhh I'm an Archivist.

Just a quick thought but.

Considdering the WG created the Shichibukai System with the idea of having them be "pirates who crush other pirates"...

Okay so we unfortunately don't know when Moria joined the Shichibukai, if that was pre-Kaidou Clash or post-Kaidou Clash, info which would be very useful here but 🤷‍♂️. However we do know that Crocodile joined the Shichibukai before his clash with Whitebeard-- which is interesting, because Crocodile proceeded to get his ass kicked, but still retained his position. Keep in mind, the only reason the Government didn't get rid of Moria the second he lost to Luffy (a menace but still a rookie) was because they knew they needed every man they had available for the incoming war with Whitebeard. Had it not been for that they would've replaced Moria immidiately, and hey, they then did proceed to do that right after the war was over. So the fact they not only kept Crocodile despite getting his ass kicked, but kept him around for like 20~ish years is a bit wild

And that just makes me wonder... Is it possible the World Government could've ordered some of their newly recruited Shichibukai back in the day to go and try to take down the Yonkou on the WG's behalf?

Again, if we knew more about Moria here this would actually be easier to speculate about but since we don't know about his timeline, there's no way to fully tell for sure (btw yes his Wiki page claims he became a Shichibukai after fighting Kaidou, but since that was "revealed" in a trivia book, I would take it with a massive grain of salt)

But if the Yonkou Dethroning Attempts were orders from the WG, it'd actually explain the general attitude amongst the Shichibukai to not actually follow orders from the Government, since there'd be two whole survivors to tell the tale why you don't follow the Government's orders. (Which would also reframe why the Government Really Wanted Kuma to follow every single order given to him) It'd also reframe Crocodile's anger at the Government a little (since I'm sure the WG didn't give a shit about what had actually happened to him), as well as Moria's fury when Kuma showed up at Thriller Bark and Moria learned that the WG was assuming he was going to lose to the Strawhats, requiring back-up

It would also explain why Crocodile got to keep his position despite his defeat, because while Crocodile might've failed, they could still see him as useful as he had survived a clash against The Most Powerful Man In The World (same for Moria if he did go fight Kaidou under the Government's orders)

And man... Like the Shichibukai were framed as "Government bootlicking losers who had abandoned their pirating spirit" when they were first introduced, but as time has gone we have seen that some people took the position for protection. Hancock for to protect her people, Jinbei for the Sun Pirates to get pardoned... And with Kuma, it's just blackmail. It really would be sad if Crocodile (and maybe Moria too) got essentially groomed into the position as young pirates, given all these promises of things they'd be allowed to do/given if they follow orders, only to realize the Government sees them as nothing more than tools

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Sir Crocodile #Gecko Moria #Also. Man. I really do wanna know who the first seven Warlords actually were if the WG only came up with them after Roger's death #'Cause Crocodile could very well be one of the ''first generation'' #Since we know he essentially held the record for keeping his position for the longest (22+ years) #(Aside from maybe Moria and Mihawk since. We don't know when they joined either) #(Like sure they were of the same Pirating Generation since they were also at Roger's execution etc) #(But we know Doflamingo didn't join the Shichibukai until like 10 years ago DESPITE being of that same generation too) #(So like. Moria and Mihawk could also be one of the OG 7. Or they might've been replacements too. Who knows) #(But hey if we do ever get a Crocodile flashback I am fucking sure we're gonna get to see the first gen of Shichibukai) #(If the WG *only* came up with them during the dawn of the Great Pirate Era) (If the Shichibukai had been around longer then nah)

[pinene]

I feel like since I reached sexual maturity I've been the most attracted to men in their early 40s? Like that's held true for a while now lol and I think it might just be what I'm into so. Can't wait to be that age and find people I can relate to who are actually hot to me..

#sexually speaking. that is #though i generally am also gonna prefer the personality of someone that age provided they arent a dick #i mean obviously men who arent dicks of all ages can be great i just. in terms of being like oh youre HOT.. #ppl under 35 usually do not. immediately grab my attention in person #undoubtedly this is also informed by the constraints of hookups bc it's just harder to get with peole who are younger bc nobody can afford #to live alone at my age in LA and if they could i'd be ummm grossed out #but also just like. god. have you tried chatting with a 22 year old. it's bananas.

Ahm more vent stuff my brain is all over the place today

#you know it’s wild to jump from ONE shitty relationship into another #and then I was like yea no I’m not gonna date again #and then… meeting the nicest most amazing dude while fucking CRUISING #..I almost ruined this too because I didn’t think I wanted another relationship #but #he sees me #he treats me like I’m worth something #the other day I felt so bad because I just #we were sitting together and next thing I knew I was sobbing #you know how he dealt with it? #he just held me #asked if I wanted to talk about it or just let it out #you know how good it feels to just be able to let it out and not have to be all #yea well I was groomed and raped and mentally ruined #oh woah fuck #sometimes it’s wild to even admit to any of it cause I buried it from EVERYONE #my mom didn’t know I was seeing an older woman when I was 14 #didn’t even know I was …‘dating’ at the time #didn’t know about the man who ruined my view on men until I was about 22.. #in fact therapy has taught me to just. stop hiding it #even tho I.. still haven’t told them #I won’t either I refuse. they don’t need to know I don’t think they just need to know I’m happier now #and not a wicked smoker and drinker 😂 #it’s why I journal so much it feels great to get it out
