Sanji wearing a crop top one day (it has a Hideous print, but still) and Zoro just going insane

So this made me think of those server uniforms for girls, specifically the Twin Peaks uniform (don't ask why, it was a weird spiderweb of thoughts) lol. But also Sanji is a basic bitch so the first crop top he ever buys is probably one of those floral ones that has the tie at the front, you know what I'm talking about? ✨

The only reason he originally bought it is because he was cornered by a really nice shopkeeper and she talked him into buying it. It's some tacky Hawaiian print that he loves but he's already got like twenty floral print button up shirts so he never wears it.

Until they come across a long stretch of sea that is so hot, like a hundred degrees and no wind hot. And when Sanji goes to get ready he finds that cropped button up and is like 'Oh this is the perfect time for this.' The rest of his morning is completely normal until Zoro comes into the galley and walks into the table. Sanji half expects rude comments or something, but instead he's silent all through breakfast, and he leaves as soon as he's done eating. It almost makes Sanji feel.. sad? Which is stupid because he doesn't care about what the marimo thinks. And it's not like he put the shirt on for any other reason than it being boiling outside. So he shouldn't expect a reaction from mosshead and he shouldn't be hurt over the lack of one.

Meanwhile Zoro is hiding away in the sweltering crow's nest hoping that a blizzard or something will hit and make Sanji change. The table incident was mortifying enough, and it took a whole new level of discipline and focus to not drool every time the cook leaned over the table to serve someone. And because Nami hates him, she made sure to compliment Sanji and suggest that he add more shirts like that to his wardrobe. Zoro doesn't know what to do about it. He can't tell Sanji the shirt sucks, that would just make him wear it more out of spite; and admitting that he likes it would give the bastard a big head. So he spends hours up in the crows nest trying to build resolve against that stupid crop top.

#zosan #sanji #zoro #it starts big fight and they kiss about it #unrelated but #since we're talking about Sanji's wardrobe #i'm still missing the belt chain #also Sanji loves low rise jeans #because his twink body was made for Y2K fashion #like imagine how good low rise jeans and a belt chain would look on him

Doctor Who has its technobabble, Hamlet and Macbeth are infamous for their wild lines, he’s played a Marvel villain and a literal serial killer, but if you really want to hear David Tennant saying some fuckin unhinged shit, I’m telling you, it’s Duck Tales.

VELVETTE’S BLACK-CODING & THE HH FANDOM’S RACISM

A lot of y’all (and especially the ones of you that will cry about how ‘not racist’ you are without having actually unpacked any of your racism, and who are more scared of being called racist than actually being racist) are so viscerally against even the mere headcanon— let alone active canonical race-coding of Velvette being black, and I’m so over that shit.

Y’all will fight tooth and nail when a show has one barely purposefully black character — out of an already predominantly white cast of characters & more non-black poc characters than there are black ones (who have speaking roles, most notably) — to deny (black) fans the ability to celebrate and actively acknowledge that character and their race. Especially if y’all can’t ignore that character, or if before you realized they were black/black-coded you liked them.

⚠︎ I wrote this out of pure utter frustration and anger so I’m going to cuss and I sound fairly mean and angry so do with that what you will. ⚠︎

P.S. — This isn’t necessarily meant to be educational; I’m allowed to be angry without having to teach y’all how racism works while crying over my phone (because, yes, I am an emotional bitch) for free.

Some of you people are truly insidious. We get half of a bone tossed to us (because Velvette’s demon form is still dark grey which gives the audience a lot of plausible deniability when it comes to not accepting that she’s black) and everyone is still trying to snatch that half a bone out of our mouths despite the fact that y’all are eating good. It would be embarrassing if you bitches had any shame about your anti-blackness, but y’all don’t.

Then all the little pussyfooting-ass bench sitters can sit around talking about how they don’t care either way, they just don’t think everything should be focused on race (which is what y’all always say, but if people didn’t care ‘too much’ about rights and how a lack there of for minority groups seeps into everything including our entertainment media most of you wouldn’t have the rights or entertainment you do now - these things are systematic so you have to attack and address the racism everywhere, not just in the areas y’all find it more appropriate/appealing to be hit with that reality in) - but fuck it if real people are actively being exposed to the fandom’s racism though, right? Or how they just prefer Velvette white (while explaining away her afro as her just having been a curly haired ginger in her human life so that’s not actual evidence towards her being black-coded or over-emphasizing that she’s WHITE British as if black British people are some nonexistent group) and they don’t see how that should be labeled as them being racist when it’s “just a preference”; but why does the sheer idea of Velvette being black repulse you in such a way in the first place?

Like everyone will accept Vaggie’s, roughly Valentino’s and even Carmilla’s coding as some form of ethnically Latino because they speak Spanish and because their voice actors are Latino of some sort, but when the same type of evidence gets brought up for Velvette’s black-coding (her VA being a black woman, her hair being in an Afro, the type of British accent she has sounding like it took inspiration from predominantly black British areas - though definitely less so than a character like ATSV!Hobie Brown, and the audition sheet for her character allegedly specifying that she was to be a black woman even) all of a sudden coding doesn’t exist, because y’all said so I guess. It’s the same fans of the show too that will whip out Alastor’s being black biracial to brandish it like a fucking weapon against those who call out Medrano for her racism and misrepresentation/demonization of vodou and voodoo in order to absolve her of any culpability or fault that will then turn around and deny the hell out of Velvette being black, and ain’t that just a bitch? Fandom has a racism problem (and me saying this is NOT new) but despite y’all thinking your radical because of some of the shows you watch and characters you like y’all are so obsessed with keeping the status quo in tact that every time someone points out a fandom’s racism it somehow manages to keep getting swept under the rug every time.

Regardless, Alastor’s alleged page in Medrano’s Pitch Bible says he could be ‘Any Ethnicity’ which was then retroactively changed for poor accountability reasons (but most everyone takes even that retroactive change as gospel and acknowledges that, as he is now, Alastor is biracial), but when Velvette’s alleged page in the Pitch Bible explicitly states that she’s a ‘black woman’ (and that hasn’t been redacted)

now everyone spontaneously doesn’t care about treating Medrano’s words like they’re the word of God and Velvette’s race is in the “eye of the beholder” or some shit. At this point just admit that you guys are racist and can’t stand the idea of having to regularly see, having genuine enjoyment for and interest in, or having an attraction to a black character. Y’all are so transparent in your anti-blackness, but too cowardly to admit it, that it’s almost painful.

Velvette’s coding (especially before you hear her voice, see who her VA is, and see her character’s appearance in s1ep8 where she’s depicted with textured hair) is not great, and I’d be remiss not to acknowledge that. She’s got the same skin tone color-coding problem as the other black - and only supposedly black - characters where she’s somewhere between a medium to dark grey in lieu of just making her brown skinned (which I get is because she’s a demon, but still), and in general there’s just enough not going on to make her black-coding more explicit that all the ‘I don’t really see her as black’ people can have a field day, and that makes arguing her blackness a necessity because you have to provide a whole bunch of evidence before people concede defeat or call you some backhanded insult that’s almost a slur before blocking you. That’s the reality and it sucks, but I am glad that there is at least things we can point to and that (even though not the best established/depicted) Velvette is supposed to be black.

All this to say, VELVETTE IS A BLACK BRITISH WOMAN (just black-coded or otherwise) and you can certainly argue about it, but I will not be responding; I have better shit to do.🫶🏾

The one thing about fandom and fan spaces - and just any media I consume for joy, period - that has always stayed consistent is the racism (and especially the anti-blackness & misogynoir). I can never escape that shit and I hate you people for it, I really do. Y’all’s favorite phrases to hit black people with are either ‘it’s not that deep’ (which it is, because your fandom preferences and reactions likely channel into how you vote, for instance, and how you regard the real life human beings in front of you’s worth at a given moment; I’ve seen it, because the same way that y’all take in misinformation about irrelevant shit like HH & HB is the same way y’all take misinformation and run with it when we’re discussing real life instances of oppression & discrimination) and that ‘be the ones to give black characters attention/make your own black character & predominantly black media’ bullshit. News flash though, a couple of black people in every fandom cannot cure the levels of systemic racism that’s sunk into you all like a fucking disease, but that so many people are just totally fine repping. If you’re “tired” of hearing black people complain about racism don’t you think black people are tired of feeling it? Of never being able to escape the effects of it? Of dealing with it? We hate this shit (at its most extreme it gets us killed and at it’s tamest it ensures we have less enjoyment & feel less welcomed in a given space), but if we can’t enter a physical or digital space without being hit by racism and anti-blackness then neither will you bitches. Also - because I’m looking back at this & can’t help but edit - I fully understand the desire other black people have to go into entertainment/fandom spaces and not have to think about racism, and so we’ll ignore the racism we do see (and sometimes even push back against its existence & downplay its harm), but ignoring the problem doesn’t fix anything. So while I also feel that desire and the majority of my stuff (especially my posts and creative endeavors) that’s aimed at black people is “escapist” or just not “trauma porn” to some extent, there is a point where I have to deviate and bring the shitty side of reality back into focus. So yeah.

P.S. — I kept saying alleged to the Pitch Bible because I didn’t trace the Bible pages all the way down to some official Vivziepop page, but you certainly can if you want to.

And here’s the full Pitch Bible page if you want it:

It also fucks over the people that want to insist Velvette stay Vox and Valentino’s ‘daughter’ figure despite Velvette’s redesign and characterization in season one of HH— and her age.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading (if you actually read the whole thing that as, but if not then whatever)!🩷

I need you to know, as someone who was a caregiver to both my parents growing up, would’ve gone into medicine if my disabilities would’ve let me, and has survived an abusive relationship, Simple Math means the world to me. I know not much is written for it yet, but it makes me feel seen and appreciated in the most meaningful of ways, and I hold it close to my heart. I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds, and how they all come together

All my love to you, anon. I’m so glad that Simple Math makes you feel this way, that’s so special. I hope you continue to enjoy it! 🖤

kusakabe going around aimlessly in circles with panda in shibuya to avoid any confrontation with the special grade antagonists while keeping on a serious face and panda not realizing because he have no sense of direction as an animal is still one of the funniest things in all of jujutsu kaisen

#jjk spoilers #kusakabe atsuya #panda #I know they’re both some of the least liked jjk characters but their time in shibuya was so good #and getos family dumping their life story and mission onto them 😭😭😭 while panda is just ‘…ok!’#unrelated but #was reading the chapters where the healer from Kyoto freezes nobaras wounds and like #WHY. what was the point of all that if she isn’t going to return??#back to believing in nobaras return #but really. I’m thinking (hoping is more of the right word) nobara is someone gege is waiting on to use #which. hate the amount of time it’s been where her state has been completely unconfirmed but 😃

thoughts about Laena and more

The statement “That show is disrespectful to its Black characters” is unfortunately applicable to almost every show ever broadcasted, which is a disheartening realization. In this instance, though, I’m talking about House of the Dragon.

Laena's erasure from Rhaenyra's life to make room for a friendship between two white women that did not exist in the original source material. She is isolated from her family so that Daemon can be separated from Rhaenyra, which isn't what happened in the books. It's frustrating to watch Black characters isolated and used as plot devices.

The show's treatment of Baela and Rhaena is also problematic. There are inconsistencies in the plot, such as Daemon ignoring Rhaena even though he didn't have a dragon until later in life. Baela going to foster at Driftmark when it should be Luke and Rhaena. It's disappointing that we don't see more of Laena with her family on Driftmark or her claiming Vhagar.

Additionally, it's strange that Jaehaerys is depicted as white as snow when his mother was Black and his father was at least half Black based on show lore. The Targaryens have historically intermarried with the Velaryons, so they shouldn't be all white, at least not at this point in their history. It seems like the show may have made the Velaryons Black solely to push the Strong boys' narrative, without considering the wider implications. This is negligent at best and malicious at worst.

#laena velaryon #deserved better #unrelated but #aegon the conqueror was Black #Jaehaerys was Black #All targs were at least half Black from Aegon the conqueror until Viserys II's kids #Jocelyn Baratheon was half Black #Rhaenys should be a Black idk #her father was Aemon Targaryen and he was Black and her mother was half Black ergo she should be Black #Alicent Hightower's kids should be the only white Targs on this show #at the end of the show #there'll be only two white Targs left #Aegon III #and #viserys ii targaryen #also the fandom is kinda racist to Baela and Rhaena #excluding them from their family is weird #creating stuff where their father spends more time with Rhaenyra's Velaryon sons than his own daughters is weird #I'm also really tired of seeing Aemond the Kinslayer in Laena's tag #rhaenyra targaryen #deserved healthier friendships with equals #not whatever the fuck that was with #alicent hightower #I know I said I was sorry that #aemond the kinslayer #lost his eye in an earlier post but idk man #talk shit get hit #he shouldn't have been talking shit #can't wait to see Baela beat #Aegon II
