never moving on from the wano zolu hug I fear bc truly. luffy spent the entirety of WCI without zoro and part of the straw hats, went through a lot during said arc, and not only is zoro the first one he bumps into after arriving - the sheer happiness radiating from him as soon as he spots zoro in the distance is so heartfelt. he was so happy he literally detoured from what he was doing momentarily and jumped straight into zoro's arms. "it's been forever" nevermind that they've been apart for way longer. I just know luffy missed zoro like crazy.

#sorry I just saw the scene again in passing on twt and now I'm Emotional #it's that kind of night today folks (thinking abt how much luffy cherishes zoro) #zolu #one piece #tp #remember when he was trying to rescue ace from impel down and it was ZORO that bon turned into #how luffy smiled so WIDE when he thought zoro was there and outright said he was disappointed when it turned out he wasn't #in my mind rent free

The more I learn about Civil War politics, the more I'm convinced that Lincoln's most impressive and useful leadership trait was that he never let his pride get in the way of doing his job.

Other people in Lincoln's position would have come to Washington with something to prove. They'd have resented the insults and tried to disprove them. They'd have tried to seize power and credit, rejected help, spent a lot of time trying to reach a certain level of respect.

Lincoln's response to, "You're just a backwoods lawyer with no executive experience who makes too many dumb jokes," was pretty much always, "Yeah. And?" He had no interest in petty personal power plays. He had a country to run. There was a war on. It didn't matter what people thought of him so long as the job got done.

He was aware of his personal shortcomings and was always willing to accept advice and help from people who had more knowledge and experience in certain areas. He presided over a chaotic Cabinet full of abrasive personalities who thought they were better and smarter than him, but he kept working with them because they could get the job done. For example: Stanton was absolutely horrible to him when they were both working as lawyers. Just incredibly mean on a personal level. But when Lincoln needed someone to replace Cameron, he swallowed his pride and appointed Stanton as Secretary of War, where Stanton proceeded to be mean to everyone in the world, but he whipped that department into shape and kept it running efficiently through a very chaotic war. Pretty much no one except Lincoln would have been able to put up with that. He could put up with people who were personally difficult if they could do the job he needed them to do--which he was only able to do because his own ego didn't get in the way.

Lincoln's example is a prime demonstration of how humility isn't underrating yourself--it's being so secure in your own abilities and identity that you don't need to attack anyone or defend yourself to prove your worth. He knew his shortcomings, but he also knew his strengths. He was willing to give other people credit for successes and take blame upon himself for failures if it kept things running smoothly. He was secure enough in his own power that he could deal generously--but firmly--with people who tried to undermine him. In a city full of huge egos, in a profession that rewards puffed-up pride, that levelheaded humility is an extremely rare trait--which is what made it so impressive and effective.

#history is awesome #presidential talk #so i went to a teeny backwater thrift store today #their tiny history book section just happened to have an old lincoln biography #i opened to the page about the cabinet #which describes the situation like 'seward was calling himself premier and lording it over everyone' #'blair was causing problems everywhere' #'welles was insulting everyone in his diary and especially hated stanton grant and seward' #'and stanton hated absolutely everyone in the whole wide world' #and as i was reading this i was internally kicking my legs with excitement and cackling with glee because this is the good stuff #i don't know why but i love these horrible petty men #they're like a bunch of raccoons fighting over territory in a dumpster fire it's so great #i read the whole chapter right there in the store #and it impressed upon me yet again how impressive lincoln was to put up with all these guys #(the writer was a bit simplistic and made a lot of these guys come off as worse than they were) #(like he made seward sound like a complete incompetent when he was a pretty good secretary of state) #(he had some grandiose ideas but the man deserves a lot of credit for keeping england out of the war) #(but for a one-chapter summary of these guys it wasn't exactly wrong and it was a ton of fun) #i very much did not want another book especially another american history book #but it was only fifty cents and i have a pouch full of spare change #and the writer's style was so much fun that i decided to take the book with me #i don't plan to read the whole thing (i'm sick of lincoln bios) but it's fun to dip into for things like this #and i had to talk to you about it

It's Pride Month! How would Pep and the others celebrate?

(Happy Pride month!!!

We will get into how the others celebrate pride later, but this would technically be Pep's first pride, and he's still figuring that out!

(Spoiler alert: He'll be queer in some way, bc everyone here is, hehe)

#ooc post #tower didn't really have the concept of sexuality and gender so it is all pretty new to him! #and even before then as Bruno he didn't really know #sure he married a woman but he sure wasn't hetro hehe #she wasn't either but I am getting ahead of myself again! #it's also still march in the story and I need to hurry UP #or I need to be nicer to myself I am doing my best!!! #well I say that but I haven't worked at all today and played cotl instead jdjsdjasd #I'm sorta having a break but once I announce I am having a break #I will want to work again immediately bc my brain is weird like that #so if I don't know I'm having a break I will be having a break and not burn myself out do you understand me? #it is okay if you do not #I got very off topic but yeah!!! #everyone is queer and there is nothing that can be done to stop this!!!

the only willy wonka prequel I want is what prompted the weird hell boat ride. what happened so slightly eccentric timothee chalamet to make him turn into incredibly unhinged gene "not a speck of light is showing so the danger must be growing are the fires of Hell a-glowing? is the grisly Reaper mowing?" Wilder??

#i did see the wonka movie today #it was okay #i had fun but i wouldn't call it a roald dahl's willy wonka prequel #it was a decent slightly eccentric chocolate man destroys weirdly religious chocolate cartel movie #but wonka? nah #also cgi hugh grant oompa loompa was a weird choice #AND WHY WAS HE ILLITERATE #FOR NO PURPOSE #played for like 4 jokes it was odd #i did love the landlady representation #ya know? from roald dahl's the landlady #anyway it was a fun time i just would not call it a wonka prequel #wonka #willy wonka #timothée chalamet #would i watch it again? yes i liked the music even if his rendition of imagination wasn't as charming

so roy was a box to box midfielder right. which means that the KUNT shirt was KUNT 8 and not KUNT 6 right. because the england national team plays with position numbers and not chosen numbers

#roy kent #idk thinking about him again today #nate called him one of the best midfielders in the history of the premier league and it changed my world #he wore 6 but he wasn't a defensive midfielder #off position numbers <3 like jamie with the 9 <3

If this POS didn't take 25 seconds to fly around and light everything on fire... 🤬🤬🤬🤬

I understand you're, angry but SO AM I!!!

#im seriously going to throw my phone through the concrete wall next to me #love and Deepspace #if it wasn't for the 8 seconds it takes at the beginning just for the m'f to land and even LET ME HIT HIM #and the 25 second shield block while he flies around and vomits fire everywhere this guy would be SOOO DEAD #F U C K. T H I S. I C E. T R I A L. #once again zayne is just standing there watching me fail at life #ash battle cries #istfg the closer I get to beating this level the more the game sabatoges me with glitches and stupid time-killing battle sequences #I've leveled up one of my 5-stars a couple times today so TUESDAY.... I NEED YOU. I'm done looking at this freaking level

#bonus under the cut getting that snout facing right at the camera #camerupt #early 2000s animation cow‚ apparently. that's what someone just said about the bonus image. i honestly never understood this thing's name #i always thought it was pretty obviously a cow. but then its name implies camel. camel erupt. camerupt. is there a specific kind of #camel that just looks like a cow?? or. what. or am i just misremembering what camels look like #either way‚ i still think this pokémon is pretty cool‚ but i don't really use it ever in my own playthroughs. i don't think i *ever* have #not even in pokémon colosseum where i'm pretty sure you can get a shadow numel at some point. bc i already had a fire-type #not sure which one it was but it was definitely one of them. maybe cyndaquil? because of the dudes with the johto starters #that you fight near the beginning in pppp uuuhhh the PHENAC city i couldn't remember the name. for a second there. #i wasn't aware as a kid that their outfits corresponded to the type of the starter they had and also that you could only fight one of them #i think as a kid i was under the impression that there was only the one. for some reason i remember fighting the green one #oh wait they have the second-evos yeah. cuz he had bayleef. and the red one would've had quilava. not cyndaquil #ugh my memory is not very good evidently. i'm writing these tags after work. normally i do them right when i wake up but this time i just #do not have an excuse for not being able to remember shit. this is just on me. maybe it's amplified by the fact that i have yet to eat today #which i have a very bad habit of doing. forgetting to eat all day and not eating until like 5 and then that being my only meal for the day #i'm trynna get better about it but it is Not easy for some reason. for something that should be decidedly very simple #but my brain doesn't often let me eat until i've completed all of my silly little Tasks. so. idk. this will however post the day after i've #arrived back home from my trip which is nice. the first time future me will be sleeping in her own bed again. good luck again future me #you might need it

I swear, one of these days I'm going to just snap and tear into one of/the majority of my coworkers bc I am SO sick and tired of their behavior

#today the newest girl messages me two hours before her shift and tells me she's going to be late #the time for her shift to start comes along and she messages me again saying she's going to be a bit later than she thought #at this point i'm like fine. whatever #30-40 minutes pass and i finally take my 30 minute lunch break #while i'm going she arrives at 4 (a whole hour late) #she clocks in and then proceeds to make a phone call #despite the literal owner telling her to end the call and come work she does not #he leaves and i tell her she has 5 minutes until she needs to hang up #5 minutes come and go and i tell her she needs to hang up now #i then had to tell her 3 or 4 more times before she finally did #and then she starts stalling and asking if she can call her mom or the boss or this and that and i tell her no each time #i also tell her that she doesn't get a 15 minute break bc at this point she was on the phone for a whole hour in addition to being late #but guess what this girl tries to do anyway!!! take a 15 minute break!!! #i confront her while she's trying to leave and she tries to lie and say that i told her she couldn't take a 30 minute break #she also tries to insist that she wasn't on her phone for an hour when i literally checked the time she clocked in #and the time i finally got her to come work #when she realizes i see through her bullshit she tries to say she's going to call the owner and ask if she can go home early #jokes on her but since he was gone that decision was up to me and i obviously told her no #she got mad at me ofc but i am just so fed up with this shit #my boss might put up with it but i have HAD IT!!! #legit going to tell him that we shouldn't allow phones anymore. period. #i hate to do that but at this point it's so much more trouble than it's worth with these kids #earth duty stuff #vent #negative

Tim is having his very first lesson in observation skills with Dick, and apparently this boy has no idea why a mother would hold her child's hand beyond a confused "because he was young?"

After all, it's hard to know these things when you don't have much personal experience to go by.

#comicsposting again #TD: he lived so others wouldn't die #also note the mother's shadowy face as Tim pictures what he saw #this memory might be colored a little by unconscious personal associations #the boy's jacket wasn't really red...but Tim's is! a visual hint of unconscious projection? #I've had this panel in drafts for a while and am bringing it out in honor of his birthday today

It really is like my brain went, "Wow, those are powerful intrusive thoughts you've got there. You know what's more powerful? Your desire to see this guy traumatized. Have 1.5 days of maladaptive daydreaming about them."

#I'm predicting this will continue for what's left of today #'pulled myself out of it' now but just enough to do things like post online and eat #I predict I'll return #I got up for the first time today (it's 7pm) and was suprised at how weak and shaky i felt #thought 'it is almost as if I experienced everything from the daydream. the power of one's mind over their physical well-being truly is #exceptional isn't it?' and then realized since I hadn't gotten up today I hadn't eaten and 'breakfast' was in the daydream #(was having trouble remembering whether it was or wasn't) #and of course knew I hadn't yesterday save for breakfast #which was real. I ate it outside and it was nice. #oh yeah and yahto fronted for like 10 minutes earlier but all he did was respond to our friend on the main blog and then we switched again #So it really has been a solid 1.5 days of nothing but daydreaming #Not about Cedar this is about the other one #Cedar also featured prominently. He just wasn't the main draw. #It was a coherent plotline but I wouldn't tell not-cedar the details of it on pain of death #I need something to call this person other than “not-cedar” or just using pronouns that WILL NOT communicate to them that it's them #And it's technically people not person but I don't know which they prefer #100% of people I've gotten obsessed with are also plural (all 2 of them) (or 14(?) depending on how you count it) #(Actually. Since I'm specifically obsessed with Cedar not his whole system it's more like 6? people) #(I'm not sure if there's a particular alter I like the most in the second system)

guys with the revival of the dan and phil games channel ive been on a huge dan and phil kick and was trying to remember as much old lore that i could and now im sobbing cause i remembered "the video that shall not be named" except im gonna name it. i remembered the Valentine's day video. and now im sobbing thinking about how scared they probably where when it got leaked, i know back then they played it off as an april fools joke but with the context we have now in the great year of 2023 they we're probably TERRIFIED and it makes me so sad remembering that shit :/

#if i remember right some fans pulled dans brother into it i think but he wasn't out to his family or nothing #god if you think theres toxic fans in todays fandom spaces think again #some of the phan stans we SO toxic i cant enev begin to explain it #dan and phil lore #dan and phil #dan howell #phil lester #dan and phil games
