Okay, does anyone have any headcanons for Sanji in a relationship with a neurodivergent reader who has sensory issues with food? Because I’m autistic/ADHD and have trouble with "fancy" food (like the kind of stuff that Sanji would cook) and I just wonder how he’d react to someone like that 😆

#mari speaks #sanji x reader #vinsmoke sanji x reader #black leg sanji x reader #opla sanji x reader #opla x reader #autistic reader #adhd reader #neurodivergent reader #feel free to send any headcanons you have into my ask box #I’m only tagging so much because I don’t have many one piece followers (yet) and I’m trying to make friends haha #I’ve only seen the live action tho!!

I’ve slowly been catching up with miraculous ladybug after like 6 years of not interacting with it, and why is my girl Mari doomed by the narrative. She was going through enough she doesn’t need this

#miraculous ladybug #ml marinette #I’ve been catching up via wiki and fan blogs #I refuse to watch it after I stopped watching it years ago #look is mari kinda cringe? yeah. #but she’s also like fucking 14. all 14 year olds are cringe #not sure what age she is now cause I’m not convinced they’ve aged in the show #but she was going through a lot in the first season or so I watched #why is she going through more??? let her have a fucking break #I also really like that there’s way more shipping options now #I used to be a marichat truther #cause I think mari deserves to be badass as a hero and CIVILLIAN #And I thought Adrian with the chat freedom was way funner #insane to find out they got a cannon kiss tho. I was not a respected person in the fandom for a shipping them #but the options now are great #I’m not a big chat/adrien fan because I don’t think he’s super fun or interesting (personally. I get that he is like. objectively) #and Chloe x mari was like. very uncommon #love being a multi shipper tho. I love assholes/guys who are just way less badass than their gf #also. love kagagami #luka kagami way more platonic fics #it’s brill #Felix even if I’m going really obscure #feralnette au #my beloved. let her be a fucking badass. let it physically show how much she’s went through it #POLY SHIPs you guys have gotten fucking great in the last 5 years. glad to be a content consumer for u again #aimeespeaks

random headcanon:

since Mari’s found? let’s call it found for now family is chock-full of guys, modern!au Kid and Law probably have to go through several rounds of death threats every time she introduces them to a family member

and there’s a LOT of family to go through

#ship: midlaw #oc: marionette mari #an oc headcanon a day keeps the sadness away #and mari and kid have to listen to cora-san try to teach them abt being safe #idk if doffy is in this au but it could be funnier if he’s just slightly unhinged instead of full-on villain #my autocorrect gives me midlaw as soon as I type ‘mi’ 😭 #mari’s fam is like ‘idk who you are or what witchcraft you did to melt our mari’s heart but i will NEVER show that I like you’ #then proceeds to sneak gifts into law and kid’s pockets when they don’t notice #the scariest threat comes from her one sister tho

[kerrslvr]

i thought mary was straight?

i do say in my “welcome to my blog” post if you’ve read it that i know that some of the girls i write for (mary/lauren) aren’t “officially” gay and they’re works of fiction so they shouldn’t be taken seriously… so many ppl on here write for mary though… even if she is on the dark side (straight) then it’s cool (i just want her to date me x) !!

(plus with tongue action like this ⬇️….. yeah i’ll keep my moof closed x)

#emi talks #mary earps #is she straight… is she gay…. i don’t think we’ll ever know #she gives masc lesbian vibes tho icl #like…. c’mon…. #have u seen the tongue action….. #yeah there’s no way she’s straight…

BBC Sherlock

oh anon I am so sorry to disappoint: I have unfortunately seen this show

HOWEVER. I haven’t seen season 4. Or the — was there a special? idk. idc.

So Sherlock’s plane does a u-turn with cartoon skid affects and lands back on the tarmac - since he’s been called to deal with moriarty stuff again or something??? And he and John have a very awkward oh hey haha funny seeing you again wow it’s been so long yeah like 2 minutes. Let’s Forget That Weirdly Emotional Goodbye. There is now a baby and Mary is now….. gone? So now john’s a single dad but not really because Sherlock is becoming dad number 2 which is very inconvenient when you want to avoid feelings and have a mad genius wanting to be the joker to your Batman. Well, well, well, look who it is— John’s stuck in a well. But it’s ok because Sherlock used his mind palace to include the well and construct a mind ladder to retrieve him, and Moriarty is now either dead or locked away and John and Sherlock can go back to bantering over crime scenes while raising the baby together but they don’t kiss. Or something.

#I watched 3 seasons #was like ‘huh nice’ #and then checked out AKSJWKSJ #I was late to the party so I think 2 seasons were already out by the time I began watching it #idk I don’t really remember #I wasn’t in the fandom even tho I was close with someone who was #I just remember going on tumblr one day having not thought about this show in forever #and then seeing BABY #and Mary was like … in none of the gif sets #and I just kept seeing gifsets of the baby #and only the baby #and I was like yes cute baby …. where did it come from #anyway #hope this amused u anon!!! ty for the ask <333 #ren replies #ask game

ok but Cassie saying on instagram that kit did not ask hazel if she was a werewolf AND also was using her to cope from what happened with ty and apparently he didn’t ask her ANYTHING about herself makes me sad

here’s the video if you haven’t seen it and want to

#I feel sad #I don’t really like that she was used #I also was kinda hoping that they might still be friends since we haven’t heard anything else about him having friends #but if he literally has not asked her anything about herself than that seems kinda unlikely to me #I’m still hoping that there friends tho #or that kit has other friends in Devon #mari the werewolf #kit herondale #the dark artifices #the wicked powers #sobh #tda #ty blackthorn #tsc #twp #secrets of blackthorn hall #cassandra clare #kit x ty #shadowhunters #the shadowhunter chronicles #kitty #dru blackthorn

i rlly fucking hate not having something to do early in the morning whether it be class or work or errands or an appointment, doesn’t matter. i can almost always predict w certainty that i a. wont be able to get off my phone at night cause i get hyperactive mentally b. will wake up past 9am as a consequence which means i’ll stay in bed until noon or even 3pm like todays case and c. will have to order food cause i can’t bring myself to do anything because i get even more tired and will d. need more caffeine to readjust and e. be unproductive for most of the morning. like yeah it’s nice to sleep in once in a while cause i don’t get it often (and it’s true it’s probably once or twice a week that i do and now i’m on a 3 week break from school which is why i can) but i just get so mad when it happens.

#ironically i don’t like having early morning things to do either so go figure #but yeah. maybe i’m obsessed w productivity and perfection and need to chill the fuck out tho #whatever i’m waiting on my big mac meal to get here :/ #i’ll take a shower after i eat and leave in like an hour for work #yeah one more thing it’s not like i’m not doing anything all day it’s just the morning cause on most days like these i sleep in cause ik #i’ll be working till 10pm (or midnight at my other job) #but still bro like. damn i wish i went to the gym #yeah maybe i need some mary oliver in me and to start loving the soft animal of my body #thx for hearing my rambles :( ily guys #.txt

The Sparrow, a review:

My main issue with this book is it assumes the colonialist white savior mindset which approves of the missionaries’ morals as pure, and suggests that God’s inexplicable betrayal was the only reason Sandoz fucked up so badly. The book implies that were it not for God choosing to torment Sandoz, the alien mission would have gone smoothly. But that is soooo not the case.

First- the alien anthropology in this book is too shallow. The book and the missionaries themselves assume they know everything about the Runa. Apparently, the Runa are just naturally less intelligent and can’t be interacted with as humanity’s equals. But that’s exactly the wrong perspective to approach/describe/create a foreign culture. You cannot establish a hierarchy of dumb/intelligent, primitive/civilized, etc— anything which assumes the superiority of one group over the other. They’re merely different, is all, neither is better or smarter or more moral than the other. You must approach with humility, with the intent to learn, not with the assumption that they are the ignorant ones who must be taught. Because they’re the ones with the knowledge of their world’s moral and social intricacies, not you.

The vapidity of the alien worldbuilding made more sense when I learned that Russell wrote this book because she was asking herself… “What if Columbus had good intentions? What if… Europeans’ rape, pillage, murder and destruction of indigenous Americans in 1492 was good, actually??”

It was never actually about aliens. If you posit that the Runa represent the indigenous peoples of Latin America- part of a long literary tradition of equating POC with animals- the racism reveals itself. The aliens aren’t a real culture. They are a convenient symbol for indigenous people, for the questions Russell is asking herself. Russell is not actually seriously thinking about the indigenous peoples’ perspective. She’s just concerned with the missionaries. The indigenous Americans are not human to her.

Russell is clearly trying to say *something* with race in the book. Emilio is Spanish and Taino, he’s descended from the colonizer and the colonized both. He’s coming to Rakhat fully cognizant of the moral and historical implications of doing so, and he genuinely believes he can overcome that past. It’s also notable that Sofia, whose people were ousted from their homeland by the Spanish, is the crew member who resists the Jana’ata most forcefully.

But again it doesn’t work, in fact it comes across as extremely insensitive because Russell is writing from the wrong perspective. She doesn’t actually understand or empathize with colonized peoples because she still agrees with the missionaries’ goals. She fails to understand that imposing one’s own worldview, one’s own principles, on another person can be an act of violence in and of itself. So, eventually, Sofia’s rebellion just comes across as white savior-ism.

But! Despite everything I just listed, I liked this book. A lot. First, I really appreciated Russell’s writing style. It’s simple but full of clarity, and in intense moments it becomes astonishingly lyrical and poetic. I will not forget the sentence “I stood naked before God, and I was raped” for a long long time.

Secondly, the central question of the book is so fascinating. What if the principles you live by, your personal creed that saved your life and enriches your spirit and has let you do so much good, the essence of all the goodness in your soul— what if that beautiful life-saving morality became the weapon which causes unbelievable pain and destruction, for both yourself and others? What if your moral truth is wrong? What a terrifying possibility to confront. What an impossible truth to swallow. Especially when a messianic figure must ask himself that question— what are the answers except nihilism or madness?

In this way the reader’s faith is also tested. Will their belief sustain itself under this question?

Unfortunately that central question is weakened by the fact that Emilio is not approaching with pure intentions. Because Christianity and Catholicism and missionaries have an objective in mind— conversion— which inevitably corrupts their interactions with the aliens.

At the end of the book, the Father General posits that Emilio’s suffering has brought him even closer to God— that God may be that wisdom gained from disillusionment after unimaginable trials of pain. After all of one’s beliefs and morals have been stripped away, God is what is left. (The Aeschylus quote summarizes it better than I did.) That conclusion would be so much more convincing, though, if Sandoz’ mistakes hadn’t been so obvious. But because, again, Russell is writing from the wrong perspective, the Father General’s conclusion rings hollow.

The actual, accidental moral the story presents is: Please learn more about indigenous cultures and societies before forcing your own beliefs upon them. Never assume you know better than they do, refrain from action until you’ve learned as much as you can, and accept the knowledge you are given.

Also— if that is who God truly is, then why should we worship him? What is so good about God that justifies Emilio’s unimaginable suffering? There’s a frightening and deeply sinister and almost insane logic in Christianity, based on their idea of Heaven, that the end justifies all the means. (Rather than a reward for a virtuous life, it seems that the idea of Heaven became the Catholic Church’s justification of inequality and a tool to keep peasants and colonized peoples complacent.) Regardless of that digression— I disagree. There’s nothing inherently beautiful about suffering, and any faith which believes that such suffering is necessary to achieve divinity is really just desperately trying to rationalize that suffering. To say, It was worth it, because Heaven awaits. But sometimes pain is just pain. It doesn’t bring you closer or further away from God. It just is. Perhaps God lies in that realization, that acceptance, that resignation? Or is the Father General correct, and there is something in that divinity that really does justify all of Emilio’s pain?

But— even still— The Sparrow was a great first read. Wanting to know what happened, what caused Emilio’s downfall, and my mounting slithering horror as I approached closer and closer to the truth— genuinely impactful, genuinely memorable. And I really loved Emilio as a character, both before and after the mission. Russell’s writing made me feel so much compassion for him.

The flaws of this book are the same flaws inherent to Christianity and Catholicism, which is an impressively incisive achievement even if it wasn’t intentional. I don’t regret reading this book, and I will be thinking about it long after I post this review.

#the sparrow #book review #mary doria russell #diary #i would loveee to talk abt this #idk if anyone has read this book here tho #but plz don’t cancel me if u have #i sound so sure of everything here but i’m just writing down my thoughts #there are so many lenses to view this book through this is just my less than charitable reading of it

#met hot neighbor today. it went relatively well #we got along pretty good there were only a couple stalls in the conversation when neither of us could think of a thing to say #but aside from that she was very nice and it was very chill #i have discovered a small problem though and that is no matter how physically/aesthetically attractive she is to me i don’t want to kiss her #like at all #which doesn’t make sense bc i do think she’s attractive and she’s not straight and we got along well so like what’s up with that #but then again i think in my head i’m comparing it to monday night where my best friend who has kissed me before was like all over me #and i wanted her to kiss me again then. just like a little. #except SHE IS FULLY TAKEN NOW. i physically CANNOT do anything abt it. #i have truly fucked myself over with this one #idk maybe i just don’t know hot neighbor well enough yet maybe if i get to know her more and we get comfortable with each other #then i’ll want to kiss her #i think i am learning tho that in order for me to want to kiss someone i need the person to be physically affectionate w me first or smth #in either case. i’m fucked. send help. #mari is irrelevant
