I saw a breakdown of the Thriller Bark arc the other day in which it was said that Zoro did all of that for his crew and that entire ending of the arc was about his love for the crew. And it was baffling to me that anyone would read it that way when it is so obvious that Zoro did that for Luffy, above anything else. The weight of that scene in regards to Zoro's devotion to Luffy can not be overstated, especially cuz Zoro is the only member who joined Luffy with a condition. There's one line he makes in reference to saving the whole crew (presumably from having to sacrifice themselves for Luffy in his stead) and that's it. Kuma makes it clear that he is willing to leave with "only" Luffy's head. No one complied with that order, obviously. And after using ursa shock and knocking everyone out except the first mate, it gets reiterated again who he’s doing this for when Zoro asks "the only way you'll leave is with Luffy's head?". Then he bows his head to Kuma and begs him to make do with Zoro's head instead because "what good is ambition when you can't even save the life of your own captain?" Not crew. Captain. And that's obviously not to undermine the love within the crew. All the dynamics among the strawhats are lovely in some way. Well, except the one between Zoro and Sanji. The way they constantly insult and mistreat each other stopped being funny a long time ago imo (like, God forbid Sanji put poison into Big Mom's cake cuz it goes against his code as a cook, but putting razor blades or poison in any of Zoro's food is fine.... hilarious) Also, when Zoro decided to follow Luffy, there was no crew yet anyway. He only became a pirate for him. Zoro actually explicitly states, after Luffy's fight against Foxy, that if Luffy had lost, there'd be no point in him staying a pirate anymore. My point being, what Zoro did on Thriller Bark (or on Kuraigana) showcases nothing other than his growing devotion to his captain and his willingness to sacrifice his life, his dream and his pride for Luffy, and only Luffy.

I got into writing fanfic roughly 20 years ago because my brain latched hard onto "okay, but why did the prophetic dream come to Faramir before Boromir? and repeatedly where it only came once to Boromir? what if Faramir was meant to go and canon LOTR is a darker timeline???"

Someday, though not now, I will actually write the whole fic and transcend this earthly plane.

Looking around my house for things to block a hat on has once again led me to staring longingly at the Bone Clones website.

...look, I could buy a cheap mannequin head off Amazon, and that would probably work fine, but then I just have this MANNEQUIN HEAD in my house, and do you think I need that Stranger-ass shit in my life day to day? I do not.

A Shanidar 1 replica skull, meanwhile, is a totally reasonable $450, $500 with the stand, and also I think it would be very funny to block my knitwear using a replica Neanderthal skull that makes me cry with overwhelming affection for humanity when I look at him. IT'S A BARGAIN IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT!

#knitting #yarncraft #bones #anthropology #neanderthals #no I am not spending $500 on a replica skull #/sigh #I have to pay someone to remove my dogs' balls #and like... fix my toilet and shower... #but god I wish I could #I just want my ancient disabled buddy on my desk to remind me I have value to the people around me #and disabled people always have #and also from time to time he will help me make my yarn the right shape

Watched the first episode of Ahsoka. Not really impressed. I frankly am not a fan of Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka portrayal, and the whole map plot seems kind of lazy. Sabine, who I adore, feels like she’s reduced to this wistful lost soul without Ezra…while ignoring that she is a Mandalorian with her own clan (Gives up her armor? For what? A boy? Please.) and that she has an entire found family with the remaining members of the Ghost crew. She has so much more background than what she’s given and it feels very much like the entire plot fails the Bechdel test. Probably won’t be watching more.

#tbh things have been going downhill in Star Wars since TBOBF #Andor was freaking phenomenal but if this is the writing and production quality from here on out I dread the second season of that #/sigh

I enrolled in INELDA's death doula training course today, and I'm glad I did so with a full 2.5 months before the live sessions of the training because that gives me more time to step very, very carefully through the absolute minefield that is my own grief as I process through the recorded 'pre-work' sessions.

Even just THINKING about the training has gotten me twitchy af.

I'm still extremely wary of the idea of offering death and funerary support as part of my scope of service, given the way my grief has calcified over the past 15 years into a hard shell that simultaneously flinches away from the slightest touch, but grief is a normal and natural emotion that commonly comes up in peer counseling even when the sessions is focused on another matter. Mostly I'm hoping that this will crack said shell in a way that therapy never managed, basically by coming at it sideways from the familiar perspective of being a service provider and therefore be less "threatening" to my hypervigilant brain, and that it will do so before I end up being the end-of-life caregiver for a parent for the second time.

GIMME THOSE COUNSELING TOOLS AND IDEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK BEFORE I HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN /GRABBY HANDS
