What’s your favorite thing about Perry?
I HAVE A LOT OF FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT HIM.......I think one of the best things tho is how quickly he shifts from being absolutely done with everything to being the best listener and supportive friend you could ask for. There's a lot of episodes where he shows up to thwart Doof and he's all business but when things get into sad/trauma territory he's very sympathetic and non-judgemental about it;; which I think Doof appreciates a lot. ALSO he's a very 'go with the flow' type of person (platypus? lol) and can adapt to spontaneous situations so quickly. All those times where Doof invites him to do smth fun or crazy he just shrugs and goes you know what yeah okay I'm in and I love that about him 🤧

I wonder why ppl always attribute any increase of seriousness post ts in Zoro, to mihawk's influence.. and kinda just brush over his thriller bark scene and then his experience in sabaody. like he was at deaths door twice, back to back. he was on the mend from the first near death and then gets beat near to death soon after.. and then gets spirited away not knowing if his crew is okay or not. which, as the protector of the crew, for the first time, he's in the position where he completely failed to protect and support them. Zoro has a lot to live for, death isn't something that doesn't frighten him. he's reckless but Zoro doesn't want to die. he doesn't want to be without his friends. he doesn't want his path to end, because he has some important goals he'd still like to achieve. Zoro is the type to recognize a problem, address it, and then do what he can to overcome it. he did everything he could to fix the problems with himself and his perspective so he would never have to be in that position again. so he could better ensure his and the crews survival, so he won't lose the things that are valuable to him. including his own life. those experiences were traumatic for Zoro. in punk hazard we see him have a flashback of those moments, and immediately he recognizes that they're falling into the same old bad habits that put them all at risk before and he gets serious, and yells at them and gives everyone a wake up call. he was also the only one in the crew to be brought to a point of near death twice, but most importantly in sabaody, because being near death is a unique experience only Zoro was going through, for the purpose of setting up some of the best character development in the series (probably biased but That's My Opinion!). Zoro begged mihawk to help him overcome these weaknesses and mihawk helped him. but any additional seriousness Zoro may have post ts, is 100% due to how he was effected by these traumatic near death experiences, and is a natural and completely valid reaction.. (imo!!!) also? Zoro did not lose his silly goofiness at all. he didn't lose his smile, he didn't lose his ability to enjoy himself, he didn't lose his laugh. he just grew into a stronger, more capable, more grown and fully realized version of himself.

I havent truly sat down and read all of the epilogues yet but i will admit i skimmed through candy looking for all of gamzees dialogue and ignoring everything else and what i love about it is how it completely demystifies him as a character. Everyone is always like ooohh hes so enigmatic and doesnt make any sense, i liked him better before murderstuck when he was nice to his friends and its like no.. hes always been this way lol he just was holding back and high

I work at an alternative school for teen students who for many various reasons are unable to be functional in a traditional typical classroom setting - disciplinary reasons, anxiety, emotional disorders, trauma, etc. - and I assist with a lot of english classes. It makes me a little sad that the teacher I work the most closely with hates the catcher in the rye so much because I’ve been rereading it and I think my students would relate really closely to Holden Caulfield. Caulfield may be annoying and whiny and privileged and obnoxious but I think the narrative of a teenager who acts out and postures himself to be older than he actually is and is struggling to comprehend and process a lot of trauma in his life so he does things he can’t even explain to himself and acts self destructive and lashes out to other people and has emotional breakdowns for seemingly no reason would be REALLY relatable to a lot of my students and I wish I could teach it to them...
