I have to say that for me none of this has been about expecting taylor to listen to fans about her personal life. no part of me expects her to go "oh look the fans aren't happy about my boyfriend I better break up with him". it all stems from the fact with it happening in the first place. I'm not disappointed that she's doing something I personally don't want (my opinion on her life is unimportant!) I'm disappointed that someone I'm a fan of is acting in a way that totally opposes the values she's previously preached. it's just the sinking feeling that she's showing her true colours and they don't entirely align with what I thought.

#i'm not expecting my best friend taylor to read my posts and dump her boyfriend #and i think reducing it to 'fans are too invested in her personal life/why do you expect her to listen to fans about' #is just missing the mark #i mean maybe that's where some people's disappointment stems from #but for me and i imagine many others it's more just the acceptance that she's not necessarily the person she's presented to the world #or at least those things she spoke about aren't as important as it seemed #talking #ts discourse

one of the things that really bothers me about modern franchises, and in particular over the last 5 years or so, is their refusal to commit. what i mean here when i say this is that it's not uncommon for a major franchise to make a decision, whether about the plot or the characters, that should have had huge, world-changing consequences... and then just never address that again or worse, immediately go back and undo it. and i'm gonna pick on star wars and the mcu here because those are the two big franchises i'm into at the moment (and i think they're kind of the worst at this), but i don't want you to walk away from this thinking that this is solely a disney thing. i've seen this happen with game of thrones and supernatural and plenty of other non-disney franchises. spoilers ahead, you've been warned:

in ant-man & the wasp quantumania, scott and hope make the life-altering decision to stay behind in the quantum realm and defeat kang instead of going through the portal to return to their world. this should have been a huge meta decision for the mcu, and when i first saw it in theaters, my immediate thought was wow, what is this going to mean for the mcu going forward? are we going to get a movie/miniseries about scott and hope helping to rebuild the quantum realm? how are cassie, janet, and hank going to react to the losses of their loved ones (in some cases, for the second time)? is cassie going to become the "first" young avenger because she has to take her father's place among the team lineup (and i only say first because as of this moment, none of the other young avengers introduced to the franchise are official avengers yet)? except nope, because less than 2 minutes later, cassie had fixed the portal that had broken way back at the beginning of the movie and brought scott and hope back.

and it felt like such a cheat. i was so disappointed in that theater, not as someone who was invested in these characters on a personal level (because yay, cassie gets her dad back!), but as someone who has spent years investing themselves in the story of the mcu. what was the point of wasting screentime on scott and hope accepting their new lives in the quantum realm if it was just going to immediately be undone? the entire scene could have been cut to scott and hope making it back bare seconds before the portal closed and it would have had the same emotional impact. there was nothing added by making scott and hope (and us) think that there was no way back only to rip the rug out from under us and go "gotcha! you really thought we were gonna give this movie a sad ending? haha! you're so dumb!"

and this isn't the first time the mcu has done this. one of the biggest complaints about endgame was the decision to set it five years in the future with no consideration for how that would actually change the setting of the mcu. characters were brought back to the exact place they disappeared from with no consideration for how things might have changed in the interim five years (like planes that weren't in the air anymore, buildings no longer standing, even just something as simple as a chair being unoccupied). and then the mcu didn't even really have the courage to address how this would have shaped the world other than a few jokes and making the bad guys in the falcon and the winter soldier people who cared about how the world had screwed them over during the blip.

and things like this happen over and over and over again. the accords are put into place in civil war, but by the time we get to she-hulk, they're gone with no explanation because, as best as i can tell, the writers didn't want to have to deal with the worldbuilding that went into the accords. gamora is killed in infinity war, but heaven forbid quill not have an emotional investment in a film he appears for maybe 10 minutes in so now she's back in endgame. steve got to go live in the past with his ex-girlfriend (which is in itself a refusal to commit after the mcu both gave her a different husband and had the woman herself tell him to move on) but we need to establish that messing with timelines is bad because that's what the entire next phase hinges on so actually his ending was predestined and it's only everyone else who can't change time. whoever took this entire town and also wanda hostage and forced them to live out a sitcom fantasy is bad and needs to be stopped but wait, it's actually wanda and she can't be the bad guy yet, we need her for doctor strange 2, so actually everyone's going to defend her now and say that no one else could ever possibly understand her grief. thor has decided to accept responsibility as king of asgard, but we can't use him for any more movies if he's stuck in asgard, so actually he's decided to pass it on to someone whose entire leadership capability is developed offscreen. i could list more examples but this is making me angry, so let's move on to star wars instead.

with star wars, i look at first the oft-quoted meme, "somehow palpatine has returned." yeah, i shouldn't really need to go into detail on how that counts as a refusal to commit but. the last jedi was a study in how johnson refused to commit to anything that abrams had laid down in the force awakens, but rise of skywalker was almost like abrams had looked at the franchise and said "screw you for taking it away from me, i'm going to come up with the most bullshit stuff just to spite you for doing that in the first place. and i'm going to start by undoing the most important plot point of the first trilogy: the emperor dies." and yeah, disney's kind of tried to salvage this by dropping hints into the bad batch and the mandalorian about cloning, but that only really works if you're watching the franchise chronologically and not considering that both of those series came out after rise of skywalker.

and then there's the mandalorian, my sweet summer child, who is, in my opinion, the worst at backtracking their plot points. i'm not entirely convinced that any of the higher ups for this show really knew what they were doing when they started working on it and i'm not convinced that they know what they're doing now. yeah, there's the tie-in to the last season of clone wars, but the mandalorian has managed to walk back pretty much every single major plot point it's had. din is this legendary warrior who can't be beat, but no one will watch this show if he defeats everyone too early, so he's constantly getting beat up (tbf, sometimes some of the fights he loses makes sense like the krayt dragon and the mudhorn, but a lot of them don't. at all). moff gideon is dead, no wait no he's not, now he's imprisoned, no wait no he's not, now he's definitely dead, you can totally believe us this time guys. grogu can use the force and must be placed with the jedi, but wait, the only person still actively teaching the way of the jedi is luke and all of his students will be brutally murdered ten years from now, and we can't have that, everyone will be mad at us for killing off such a cute character and no one will buy baby yoda dolls (and also we have to set up luke's character degradation from hopeful, believes-in-love cinnamon roll to "i'm going to kill my nephew") so in between seasons let's have grogu decide to go back to din (and don't even get me started on how frustrating it is that a casual mandalorian watcher also had to watch book of boba fett to understand why grogu is back). din has the darksaber now which makes him king of mandalore, that's totally going to be important and what the entire series has been building up to, right? wrong! he might have spent the first two seasons making connections, learning about the world outside his sheltered upbringing, and demonstrating the various qualities that would make for a good leader, but the entire third season will be about din realizing that actually he's super unworthy and the darksaber should actually go to someone who... saw an animal in the water.

and it's really, really frustrating as a viewer! because how am i supposed to get invested in any of these plot decisions when they almost always get reversed? why should i care that mj and ned have forgotten peter when ant-man 3 has shown me that they'll remember him the next time they're all on screen together? why should i care that tech is dead when half of the last season of clone wars was about how echo was actually alive? if none of these decisions have any permanence, then where are the emotional stakes? why should i watch your movie if all you're going to tell me is that nothing matters?

#and also i want to make a point that the early mcu did permanent stakes really well #iron man 1 ends with tony announcing that he's iron man and that's something that still resonated years later #the entire second film hinged on that one moment #loki falling into the bifrost is what leads him to the chitauri which is what kickstarted the avengers #steve is woken from the ice and the first organization who presents themselves as someone to trust is shield #which sets up the betrayal he feels in the winter soldier #these moments resonate throughout the first two stages and the decisions the characters made MATTERED #so you can't help but get invested because what if it's the wrong decision??? #anyway i'm frustrated with the state of franchises #alle talks #long post

[hamofjustice]

nemona's sync pair story in pokemon masters ex can be viewed anytime as soon as you recruit her, and in just a couple minutes of dialogue we scarlet/violet story analyzers get some great subtext-made-text and new subtext:

confirmation of one instance of nemona working herself really hard for the sake of others and seeing anything less as a display of her own weakness and letting them down (even if the others are her pokemon in this case). it's something that i thought always seemed likely to be a theme with her if we knew more about her, with stuff like her mostly un-commented-on arm brace / compression glove and perfectly clean room nearly devoid of personality outside of her meticulous schedule and displays of her achievements, and what that implied about her relationship with her family, teachers, and idol

recontextualization of why she wears sporty athletic wear and runs around everywhere, even though she's a straight-A nerd who has to take a break every 50 feet when she initially takes you to school and is still winded enough to be worthy of comment from arven by the time you're running around in area zero

the fact that penny, the otaku shut-in, did not get called out like this means either she performed exactly as arven expected her to based on how she looked, or that nemona was doing the worst out of all of the group and might actually have some kind of chronic condition / disability like some fans theorize. nemona's stamina now being revealed to be a long standing insecurity of hers despite shrugging it off with a joke in area zero implies the latter to me

if she shrugged off a long standing insecurity with a joke, that could potentially say a lot about any other things she didn't want to make a big deal about that fans are a little suspicious of, like saying her parents were "hands-off in a good way" with her while her sister got all the attention, which i definitely think was an deflective understatement or simply not realizing there's a problem

and if her low stamina and "bad throwing" are in fact due to some kind of condition and mostly out of her control, that also makes her calling herself weak that much more tragically unfair to herself. someone hug this kid please

i trust these folks to write a compelling nemona if they were given the chance to, not just a fun and cute one. they get it.

her 15 minute storyline from her debut event is mostly just good fun with her meeting a bunch of people and almost winning a big tournament with her new friends hilda and bede. it also, however, touches upon how sad she is that people mostly get jealous of her rather than feel inspired by her (which she actually comes up with a motivational speech to try and combat this time, with hilda's help). it even has her tell blue and bede that florian/juliana back home is "a precious treasure" to her, which made me melt into boiling taffy.

now i'm looking forward to whatever else they come up with when nemona's more plot-driving friends arrive. despite how cheesy and hit-or-miss pokemon masters tends to be, they're treating scarlet/violet with respect so far. it's canon to me. i kinda need that right now when we're not sure what the friend trio are gonna get in the DLC of the actual game.

#nemona pokemon #pokemon sv #pokemon scarvio #pokemas spoilers #nemona #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon masters #pokemas #nemonaposting #there is a big sense of relief knowing that the deeper subtext to her simple text is not just in my head and people in charge see it #like i have won the battle that i was in and now i can just chill #just like in-universe people need to know nemona is struggling to be able to really appreciate her fully and not just on a surface level #if it was immediately obvious from the get go i'd probably be significantly less invested #note: this is a datamine she's not actually out until the pokemon presents on the 8th if you're reading this before then lol #the 8th will probably also be the last chance to show us nemona arven and penny in the DLC trailers if they're going to

i’ve just finished season one of TMA, and being someone who’s okay with spoilers is fun because it means i can peruse the wiki and scroll through the tag and i get to become privy to all sorts of weird, wonderful, halfway-out-of-context information that i get to look forward to understanding in the future

like. what do you mean Leitner’s in the tunnels?

what do you mean Jon eats the extinguished sun??

what do you mean it’s spelled Gerard Keay???

#Jon‚ narrating a statement: '…whose passport had identified him as Gerard Keay.' #Me‚ an American‚ not yet in the habit of following along with the transcripts: 'Ah‚ yes. Jared Key.' #tma spoilers #the magnus archives #gerry keay #gerard keay #tma #i’m sorry but Why do british ppl apparently pronounce Gerard like that how do y’all audibly tell Gerard and Jared apart #anyways based on how i’ve glossed over the other two arguably much more shocking revelations i mentioned #i’m sure you can tell that i’ve latched onto Gerry and everything else is just background noise to me #okay that’s an exaggeration. i Do love the entire show and am invested in the entire cast to varying degrees but. #Gerry… my beloved… his role in Ep. 12 hooked me instantly #it’s bad‚ guys. ive already started making him a playlist. it’s safe to say there’s no hope for me. the fixation train has left the station #Gerry (and Michael) have moved in and will live rent free in my brain indefinitely #listen. you can’t just present to me a cryptic goth man with long poorly dyed black hair and mommy issues who’s covered in eye tattoos- #-and is frequently affiliated with the supernatural and then expect me to Not fall in love with him!!! #*looks at DoorKeay* …and i am also not immune to the opposites attract & human x supernatural entity tropes… #tbh looking at all this DoorKeay fan art has me suddenly remembering my EraserMic days #which is a wild thing to say i know but listen. it’s just the whole long-black-hair x long-blonde-hair similarity #and maybe a bit of the opposite personalities. idk why but i was just admiring one particular DoorKeay fanart and it suddenly hit me #i literally whispered to myself out loud ‘holy shit it’s EraserMic again…’ and it's not Really but also it kinda is and i think it's funny #but then i did More thinking and i think it goes beyond just them. i think i rlly just have a thing for Dark & Light coded character ships #Michael & Gerry… Navia & Chlorinde... Sun & Moon… Mic & Aizawa… #i think i’m learning smthn abt myself now i’ve gotta think if there’s more examples… #i'd almost say Alphonse and Seth but eeehhh not quite. and honestly i think the bigger-brain way to see their relationship through the- #-Dark x Light trope would be to take into account the resurgence of DM!Al and that kinds flips the dynamic #i think that if either of them are Moon-coded it'd be DM!Al. but they honestly just don't quite fit in that trope's box anyways #they're Pink/Black x Brown coded. not Yellow x Black #i do gotta say that i've pulled an Interesting number of songs off Seth's playlist while working on Gerry's... it's the mommy issues innit #i'd almost say PB x Marcy but once again we've got a character that's pink-coded‚ not yellow. i think they fall into a different category

[reallyhardy]

Sorry what’s up w the Ethan slater stuff? I know him only from your posts / SpongeBob stuff

HI HELLO please buckle in

yep -- the same guy from the spongebob musical, and my posts abut the spongebob musical.

he blew up completely and now the general public knows him as 'ariana grande's new boyfriend' - their relationship seems to have started off the back of co-starring in the upcoming wicked musical film adaptation.

it's just been like. a monkey's paw curling sort of a way for him to get catapulted to fame, as i had always really enjoyed him as a performer (as spongebob, yes, but also in the other roles i'd seen him in,) and my biggest hope back around 2017 was that he would continue in and be really successful in theatre, get a lot of broadway roles, maybe take on some existing parts i thought he'd really suit, like seymour in little shop or ogie in waitress.......... but instead he booked the role of boq from wicked in a massive hollywood film production instead, where he met ariana grande. THE ariana grande.

and then yeah. at some point, he and grande broke up with their respective partners, (slater leaving both his wife AND newborn son) jumped into a new relationship, and now the whole wider internet knows who he is but certainly not for the right reasons.

there's been speculation regarding whether or not grande and slater had cheated on their previous partners before their relationship began with various sources coming out of the woodwork saying "yes they did" and others saying "no they didn't" -- humans are all perfectly capable of making stuff up, the media especially, so i simply don't know who to trust and i admit it had completely shattered my whole good impression of him - PLUS it gave the wider internet an absolutely awful first impression of him, resulting in, yeah, the (frankly, unflattering, sometimes downright cruel) memes of him popping up on twitter and, as i discovered yesterday, in non-theatre youtubers' videos who would literally never have heard of him if not for the slater-grande romance 🥲

FULL COVERAGE of the situation as it was happening can all be found on the lovely @notasimpleslater's blog under the tag 'ozgate' if you want to delve deeper!

#loren talks #ethan slater #months later let's call this my actual full response/reaction lol #i think at the time this was going down at the end of 2023 i was sort of just Freaking Out like my blood was boiling lol #i was parasocially furious with both of them #ofc now i do realise i'd put him on something of a pedestal #having seen his cute posts about his then wife an former childhood sweetheart plus posts welcoming his new son #AND having watched a youtube mini-series he'd made with his then-brother-in-law. i was SO invested and then. #i was like OH. he really DESTROYED his family huh. #but ofc! every situation is nuanced. we don't know what went on behind the scenes #wrg to his relationship. or what grande's was like with her ex-husband #since everything came to light there's been articles stating that slater wants to work with his ex-wife to share custody of their child #and that he's been spotted backstage WITH his son at spamalot on broadway (his current production) #so it sugggests he's not trying to be an Absent Father #which tracks with some of his own artwork as he and nick blaemire DID write a whole musical about the strained relationship between #a father and son and i just feel like. that suggests something about his personal character. and makes me HOPE he'd want to #be a present and loving parent regardless of circumstance. #anyways. #it's simply not my business BUT. seeing his face #popping up every now and again #it does just. feel extremely weird haha #there's a part of me that's like oh but that's musical spongebob my bestie what's he doing here #as for ariana i really have never had a strong opinion of her #but i have to say hearing her songs out and about these days...... :') i could do without it

Seriously tempted to make a highkey detached headcanon/pseudo-analysis post regarding Zant and gender. Probably a bad idea.

#scrawny rambles #zant #strong emphasis on the pseudo it's red string pins and corkboards fueled by audhd & months if not cumulative years of hyperfixation #my thing is that the optics are awful and this is tumblr #when it's like. alot of finding my gender issues and feminine rage in a character that... does not play *well* with that #it could be seen as crossing a line when i'm closeted transmasc and i see them as. well closeted *something else* #if that makes sense #it's deeply meaningful to me and comes from a place of compassion #but i think even someone in good faith can see the obvious issues with that #let alone the numerous people who either don't/no longer have the patience #or are looking for a fight #idk man. don't really have anyone personally to talk about this with that has the same extensive bg on the guy as i #i've got good and eager friends #but i'm giving them the context— the conversation is inherently led and skewed by my biases in a topic i have wayyy too much investment in #and they don't. yknow? #as opposed to presenting it to other people who share it and have wider context #and the sense to know if i'm bullshitting #the lens ends up being an addition instead of the groundwork; y'feel? #it's 1am god help #seasonal depression has my sleep schedule in a shit pit. sad! #tl;dr: things that look bad unfortunately compell me and that's why i give villains 18752489 flavours of queer biracial and neurodiv. ty. #just like me fr frrrrr

#so many people I know in decolonial studies have been appalled by the silence and indifference #by their colleagues in the field #i'm just surprised they thought whiteys go into studying black and brown people with honest intentions #or any kind of investment in the lived reality of colonized people in the present day #they're in it to exploit global south suffering for clout #like every other white and western grifter #institutionalized academia is one of the pillars of white supremacy #white supremacy #racism #anti blackness #free palestine #free sudan #free congo #western imperialism #western hypocrisy #decolonization #colonization #colonialism #white academia #islamophobia #knee of huss

I will be honest, it's difficult for me to get that excited for any Pokémon game announcements nowadays. They last main line game I enjoyed (to an extent) was Pokémon X&Y. So if course I'm happy that this gen is continuing with ZA.

But given Game Freak's track record with rushed games and empty promises, I can't get invested unless they truly deliver.

#I would rather invest more of my time and money in the merch and plushies #slight tangent but the staff on the Pokémon store website are very helpful #and offered a discount on my Christmas ornament when I reporteda flaw with it #quite nice and efficient people 👍 #anyway I didn’t even finish Sun & Moon or Sword & Shield #I still have them #but their quality is just not up to it #anyway rant over that's just my opinion #pokemon #pokemon presents #pokemon legends #pokemon legends za #pokemon z #zygarde #gen 6 #psst game freak...remake colosseum/xd and I will give you money

Strategies for Delivering Effective Presentations

Effective presentation delivery is a crucial skill that can significantly impact one's professional success. To ensure that your presentations are engaging and leave a lasting impression, it is imperative to employ a strategic approach.

Understanding the audience is paramount; conducting thorough research to grasp their needs, preferences, and expectations can guide you in tailoring your content and message effectively. This audience-centric approach not only enhances the relevance of your presentation but also increases audience engagement and receptiveness.

Moreover, the utilization of visual aids and multimedia resources can greatly enhance the clarity and impact of your message. Incorporating well-designed slides, diagrams, or handouts can capture the audience's attention, facilitate comprehension, and aid in information retention. Additionally, mastering nonverbal communication cues, such as body language and vocal tone, can further enrich your presentation delivery. By practicing and honing these skills, professionals can elevate their presentation prowess and effectively convey their ideas with confidence.

bulma i think is a shit parent in the casually neglectful/sees her kid as her bestie sense and also is a billionnaire who just gives her son whatever to make up for the time she spent six consecutive days in the lab and forgot trunks' birthday so he had to spend it alone because no way in hell would vegeta remember it. she's funny and cheerful towards him and also thinks that because he's half saiyan and because she met his older self he'll be perfectly fine no matter what. she lets vegeta train him and hurt him because that's what saiyans enjoy doing right, so clearly it's fine. trunks learns to bury his most negative feelings in order to please his dad and because his mom is too busy/superficial to dig much deeper in the roots of his issues. as long as he doesnt complain surely hes fine. his other self grew up during the apocalypse and he turned out pretty well after all! hey kiddo wanna see a nuclear blast from real up close im sure you'll be fine

#i like the idea of low empathy bulma. not just bc she's rich or a genius etc #but bc she genuinely struggles to find common grounds with others as a whole #i think too many fics and hc make her like an emotional core to vegeta who softens his heart by her compassion #but i think she doesnt have much compassion in canon and it's why i find her interesting #she doesnt care much that vegeta murdered millions; he's interesting to her #shes mostly invested in the present and what is interesting to her now; be it her scientific projects or her shiny new toy #anyhow i dont think shes a good mom. shes a fun mom! she sucks as a parent probably #eli talks #dragon ball

Rooting for a ship that’s considered ‘small’ or ‘crack’ with characters that have very little interaction that suddenly in the later seasons go from scraps to full on meals is 1 seemingly my only personality trait and 2 honestly so fun.

Because there’s never really any indication that they're ever gonna be a thing but it’s like I see the chemistry and I see the potential and oh wait so do the writers??? Omg look at the scenes we’re getting! I just read a fanfiction that did something just like this and look it’s on my screen now!!

#It's also like... more fun to get a present when you weren't expecting anything #you know? #and it's always a couple that I'm like omg no fuck all that over there look at THIS #they have CRAZY chemistry and they also barely like each other #think of how cool it would be if they got past that and dated instead 🥰 #Or at least banged? #Idk idk I'm just saying things #BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING LIKE #WHAT'S NEXT #jeronica #dair #bamon #those are the main ones but I actually... I have more #Those are the only ones that I think I got invested enough in to make a post or 12 about

I've come around on Callowmoore and in doing so realized my main problem with them originally was part of the fandoms insistence on chalking them up to being "a sexy provocative woman being sexy next to a sexy gruff man". Where as I can only enjoy them through the lens of their autistic arospec t4t weirdness.

#callowmoore #critical role #i've discarded fanon and embraced their canonical cringefail silly bitchy shenanigans #its about the doubling down on one anothers insane ramblings #its about the 'if you want something you can just ask' 'i want to not have to ask >:|' #its about the shared unwavering appreciation of broken disgusting scary things as their favorite little guys #and this isnt canon but the idea of fearne giggling and twirling her hair at the idea of calling themselves each others partners #*fearne voice* this week its MY turn to be the boyfriend #sorry. my thoughts and feelings on genderfuckery callowmoore are powerful. #hcing that fearnes experience with gender was that no one ever assumed she was a woman bc fey just have different experiences with those- #sorts of labels. but she still very much resonates with terras concept of womanhood to a degree where she’s like #‘hell yeah I’m a pretty lady <3’ but also still has fun messing around with that in less ‘conventional’ ways #I also hc Ashton being kinda meh on gender as well. his feelings are neutral and unbothered around cis people #but they also very much see + resonate with the way other genderqueer people fuck with identity and presentation like #it’s a performance art that he’s only half invested in engaging with. for fun and competitively.

The inclusion of Hermes as a father figure rather than a narrator in Hadestown is the single best thing Anaïs Mitchell could possibly have done for the framing of her story in this essay I will-

#Soph’s posts #Hadestown #because!!! Because when Hermes is involved in the story it completely reshapes the way it’s being told!!! #He’s a character AND a narrator. The story is being told by somebody inside it #Because it’s not just a story even to those that know it’s a story. It’s both a life lived and a tale told. #The narrator is the thing that connects us to any story because without one we wouldn’t HAVE a story #And having a narrator who is also a character and is AWARE of that dual role integrates the audience brilliantly #As opposed to off-broadway when Hermes is inherently separate from the narrative or characters #He’s telling the story without being any kind of invested in it or doing anything to change it #Damon and Nabiyah’s Hadestown IS like a myth because it’s a story being presented by Hermes the showman #But Reeve and Eva’s Hadestown is closer to the audience because of Hermes’s closeness with Orpheus #And Orpheus is changed by Hermes’s new roles as well!!! #When he has a father figure to prompt him and help him he develops this otherworldly innocence #Which fits him much better than the separation between his magic and his personality #With Hermes pushing the story Orpheus goes from ignoring the world to not knowing it’s there #Like in come home with me where “don’t come on too strong” makes “come home with me” way sweeter #Damon’s Orpheus and his narrative would be way closer to Reeve’s if he had Andre’s Hermes #Damn I really did write an essay huh

#i dunno if Oda ever said anything about this but revisiting early wano I think Kiku and Denjiro were supposed to have switched #And Denjiro was going to be revealed to be the character we knew as Kiku #My evidence is mostly that in the flashback to just after the gang arrives in the present #Kiku's face is hidden in shadow and her ponytail looks like Denjiro's ponytail #But in any case I think it's safe to say a lot of plot threads got abandoned in writing Wano #Remember when Trusru was an actual character and Kin'emon was upset he couldn't visit his wife #Like we were supposed to be invested in their relationship #And then we see pretty much Kin'emon's whole life #and it's never even mentioned that he got married?? #Also why'd he dye his hair? #or stop dying his hair?? #it's anime I can't tell what's natural #one piece #kozuki hiyori
