#anyways! more 'the eyebrows are a scar/birthmark of some kind' headcanons #in my mind i think sanji might b the only crew member who actually spends ages fussing abt their appearance #ik most people would say nami takes the lead on that but tbh she seems more like a 'slap on mascara at most and GO' type of person #meanwhile sanji has a full makeup kit on standby + flat irons his hair at like 3:30 every single morning. dude's bangs are fried as all hel #nobody can take a piss break when they swap watch shifts in the early morning bc he's just In The Fucking Bathroom Always #tbh this is more an attempt at figuring out why sanji doesn't have his scar in the LA than anything else #but if im being real here idk how tf they work in canon either. this is the best i've got lmao #one piece #op #opla #one piece live action #sanji #one piece sanji #black leg sanji #illustration #artists on tumblr #nettillust #wip #art

Luffy vs. Zoro at Whiskey Peak

Unpopular opinion maybe, but the Luffy vs. Zoro clash in Whiskey Peak made sense for their characters. You could even argue that it was bound to happen, given their personalities.

Luffy likes the people who feed him. In the the face of their suffering, no matter who's responsible, he's too angry to concern himself with the reasons behind it. Zoro, on the other hand, prefers to handle things independently without saying much about it, especially if it means his crew gets to enjoy themselves a little longer

So it's not really surprising that Luffy would be blindsided by finding their hosts cut up by his swordsman, and that this would send him flying into a fit of rage. If he's never paused to listen to context or backstories before now, why would he start here? And of course, Zoro is not the type to back down from a challenge. He will match Luffy's energy and respond in kind

"But if Luffy were a good captain, he would have stopped to listen to Zoro's side of the story." Vivi tells him he's a bad captain two arcs later, precisely because of this kind of behavior. It clearly leaves an impression on Luffy, and we see he's grown into a better leader by the time he reaches Amazon Lily. (Almost as if Oda set all this development up on purpose with Whiskey Peak. HMM...)

"But Luffy refused to believe that Nami had killed Usopp in Arlong Park." This argument is like comparing apples to oranges. Nami did not actually do the murder that Johnny and Yosaku claim they saw, nor is she capable of killing people in cold blood. Of course Luffy isn't going to believe Nami killed Usopp based on hearsay. But in Whiskey Peak, Zoro did cut those bounty hunters. Luffy sees the evidence for himself, and he knows the carnage Zoro is capable of inflicting once he puts his mind to it. There is no denying what happened. Nothing other than Zoro saying "someone else did this" (or Nami knocking the soul out of him) was going to stop Luffy from going ballistic

"Why would Luffy fight so hard to recruit Zoro into his crew, firmly believing that he wasn't a bad person, only to later attack him because he believed Zoro was capable of harming 'innocent' people?" Because the fight was never about whether their hosts were "innocent" or not, not really. Their fight was about what Zoro did (assaulting the ones who fed them), and how those actions made Luffy feel (mad as hell, because these people FED THEM) For Luffy, context did not actually matter at that moment in time because, for him, "they fed me" unequivocally means "they're my friend", full stop This is even shown again in Mocktown! Both when Luffy unquestioningly eats an apple from Doc Q, and when Bellamy buys Luffy a drink in Mocktown. In the first case, Luffy only lived because he was lucky. And in the second case, he assumes Bellamy is a good person despite all evidence to the contrary, only to have his face brutally smashed into the bartop by Bellamy. Luffy is shockingly bad at reading people who try to feed him.

Luffy has interpersonal conflicts with all the core members from East Blue at different times. The fight with Zoro is the only one instigated by Luffy. But surprisingly, their fight highlights their similarities instead of their differences. They still fight equally and work together against BW agents who try to interfere with their fight.

I think that's what Oda wanted to showcase with this scene.

In short, Luffy's initial anger stemmed from his protectiveness towards those who have fed him, while Zoro's actions were driven by his dedication to the crew and subsequent refusal to back down from Luffy's challenge. It was a clash resulting from miscommunication and misunderstanding, something that is not typically a problem for them — until it suddenly becomes one When all is said and done, they're both quick to forgive and forget. This, too, is fitting for both their characters. From that point onward, Zoro continues to demonstrate that Luffy's trust is not misplaced. And Luffy never, ever doubts Zoro again after this

#I see a lot of ppl claim Luffy vs. Zoro was due to pressure from editors #but nobody can cite sources for this #I think it's much more likely that Oda genuinely wanted to show them fighting #to set up a gradual path of growth for Luffy in Act I #and also to highlight how Luffy and Zoro are on the same wavelength; even when they're trying to kill each other #plus that fight was funny as hell idc what anyone else says #also it's totally fine to dislike this scene b/c of the tonal whiplash #or b/c you don't like tropes based off of miscommunication #but anyone who says Luffy was ooc in this scene #or that this chapter only happened because luffy doesn't trust zoro #and that luffy would've been 100% fine if NAMI had killed the bounty hunters b/c he would've just ~trusted~ her #is wrong! lmao #one piece #monkey d. luffy #roronoa zoro #whiskey peak #meta #my meta #text posts #long post #zolu #kinda sorta

Naeceles is hilarious to me because you can tell Makoto doesn't buy into any of the nonsense Celeste is spewing most of the time, not because he is stupid but she says such inane stuff and seems like she lives in her own little fantasy world that he goes "Ok yeah sure" to everything she says.

But she has such a passion for it that he can't help it and try to help her achieve it.

"Yes, your real name is Celestia Ludenberg, yes you're from French and German descent, yes all those stories you tell me are true, oh you want me to become your knight so I can spend the rest of my life with you in a European Castle with Butlers/bodyguards dressed as vampires? Sure, why the hell not? Anything for you honey"

Meanwhile Celeste is down bad for Makoto.

#Danganronpa #Makoto Naegi #Celestia Ludenberg #Taeko Yasuhiro #Naeceles #Trigger Happy Havoc #THH #School Mode #DR #Literally their School Mode ending is basically a marriage proposal #'Let's stand at each other side at the top of the castle forever' real subtle there Celeste #And how Makoto speedruns from a D-Rank to nearly a B-Rank and has the potential to be an A-Rank #When apparently she never found anyone close to a B-Rank #It's ok Celeste you can say you're in love nobody will judge you...much

That feeling that you can't even write fan fiction for Link Click until the finale of the 10th season because canon will threaten to unravel every headcanon you wrote by the next episode.

#Link Click #Listen fam #how LG and CXS got around to a) finding out about each other's powers the first time and b) deciding hand contact is the way to go #Did they discover hand contact actually made a difference than CXS just clapping his own hands and how #Heck did CXS even *know* he COULD time travel until LG came into the picture #These thoughts have plagued me since S1 E1 #I have theories about episode 9 but I am le tired of them retconning the plot every other business week lol #Of course Lu Guang Knows Everything(tm) I think that is the only real unverified theory that we can say for certain will not be retconned #A reminder that they STILL haven't conclusively told us if all people in that world are aware that there are some among them with powers #Or is it something that only the police know of and keep under wraps from the general public #It sure feels like it's meant to be hidden and yet it feels like nobody's ever surprised when someone else with powers just toddles by #This world building is kinda all over the place #I suppose fanfics still work if one is just writing a scenario rather than a story that may build on the questions still unanswered

the most interesting thing about the sirebond plot or should I say pre-sirebond (sorta?) is that when Bonnie mentioned that Damon makes everything sound like a good idea to Elena many fans called her annoying as hell and villianized her for it. then when Elena turned her humanity off anyway everyone found Elena irritating and horrible.

anyway I really hate tvd tiktok and reddit pls keep yall trash takes over there do NAWT shut shit down in the US! I need yall to never come to tumblr chile pls.

There are certain chicks who just give off that "mean girl" vibe to me. "You hate girls like me because we know our worth" Nah, you are just a b*tch who thinks she's above everybody else just for existing.

#txt #oh yeah i'm going there #y'all can call me a pick me #these chicks don't know their worth. they believe they are goddesses that must be put on a pedestal #i'm sorry but i can't stand these types of women #they are another face of feminism hidden under the mask of “femininity advice” #“you are a pick me” if you say so sweetie #i don't feel threatened by your beauty or charm or anything y'all are just annoying #they think people dislike them for having standards. b*tch nobody cares about your silly standards #people don't like y'all because of your arrogance and no it's not sexism or putting women down. don't f*cking come at me with that #i know every single argument that is gonna be thrown at me #but yeah #i scrolled this one so-called “divine femininity” content creator and her face alone screams c*nt #i know a b*tch when i see one and these kinds of women are like that #there is a difference between a woman with standards and self-worth #the bible and christianity themselves ask women to have that #and the b*tch who thinks she is a PRIZE #honestly #the men do need to shut the hell up with that. that's why these women are running their mouths on y'all now #the men and women are both f*cking stupid and need to stop this childish sh*t #they think being called out on their nastiness somehow means society hates women with standards. what society has ever expected women to no #have standards and a sense of worth? women would get endlessly sh*t on by their family members for having babies out of wedlock and going #for men who didn't have a stable job or women who didn't have any manners because they were perceived as WORTHLESS and women who did not #respect themselves. a healthy society expects women to respect and value themselves. a lot of you b*tches hide behind that to be a b*tch #if they were men they would automatically get called sexist a$$holes. that's how you know these b*tches are no different from rp's #they are another branch of feminists. feminists and rp' #are both sh*t and men and women need to quit acting like f*cking children. i'm sick of y'all #it's rare to find anybody who is balanced on any damn platform #it's either men ain't sh*t or women ain't sh*t #also didn't jasmine have that famous “i'm not a PRIZE to be won” scene??? these women treat themselves as nothing but objects to be won

dai's not a wimp a real wimp and coward would run away from everything in life and never face anything but dai has the courage and bravery to push through even when he's at his most terrified and THAT'S what defines part of his chara strength in tandem with the (quite literally) transformative power of his love and kindness and strong sense of responsibility that readily reaches out to, touches and draws others beside him. only in the face of difficulty can true courage and persistence shine and that's daisuke character. guy who wants to get through it even if he has to cry. guy who cries extremely hard then still has the strength to keep on moving forward. guy with enough positive will to keep going even if he doesn't always know where he's going.

#IM HERE FOR THIS POST ONLY I GOTTA GO BUT IF IM NOT DEAD ILL B AROUND LATER #I JUST HAD TO YELL ABT MY BOYYYYY #hope everybody has a nice saturday!!! #no but fr one of the sweetest parts of dai's chara is the way that the hikari make the arts but the niwa are the one who love them #when towa says 'nobody ever told me i was important' and that dai was the first #ohuabffgkj ur kiddingggggg esp when towa's so lovely herself as is too #dai being the sort who CAN warm others up through his gentle but steady determinations #its also what saves dark!!! #a love that redeems and reassures #agape in the truest sense #*･ﾟ⊰ 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒. ⊱ ✦ › OUT.

Apparently this week it’s just me and my bisexual Latino gangster MMF erotic romance against the fucking WORLD.

#I am not at liberty to discuss what is going on except to say #1 it's household/family drama not work drama #2 there's no permanent consequences and nobody is in any physical danger #but there ARE consequences and I am unsure they will only affect the household member who made these decisions #and boy did I spend some time last night reading my bisexual Latino gangster MMF romance with white knuckles #with the same vibes as your dad going into the garage and rearranging his paint cans to avoid talking to anyone #stop b think of the children

[canadian-riddler]

fanfic writers want ‘don’t like don’t read’ to mean ‘I should be allowed to write whatever I want and never be criticised for anything anywhere’.  like that’s not how art works.  people discuss it.  especially if it’s controversial

#so says Indy #meh #writing angst #you can't go 'fanfic should be treated seriously as literature!' #and also go 'you can't criticise it because it's written by amateurs for free!' #a) no not everyone is an amateur. there are published authors doing it #b) so if a published author writes something controversial and posts it for free nobody can talk about it?

you know that thing where like men will wear dresses or be feminine for a gimmick or as a trend etc which is all well and good but then theres people who can only handle seeing a man in a dress as a gimmick or as like a Thing where it's not casual or an everyday thing like they can only handle it when its specifically for a Bit bc they could never take a man just casually in a dress as anything casual, it'd be an affront to them for you to think a man in a dress can be anything but a gimmick so if you try to do it casually you're insane, and if you do it as a bit you are agreeing with them (youre not but they think you are). anyway this is how people are with genderfluid characters they can never just exist and casually be genderfluid they Have to be some sort of shapeshifting or weird over the top mystical being and it has to be a gimmick or it has to fit their persona or something for you to even consider them genderfluid because nobody could possibly casually be that without it being some sort of set piece for a punchline. how often do u see people even hc characters as genderfluid just cus. yknow.

#i literally dont know why im thinking about this lmao #anyway hcing geto and madara as genderfluid gives me immense joy bc they have such fucking drama going on #me saying theyre genderfluid and it being a drop in a bucket compared to the other shit theyre doing . its so good #anyway i dont know i think about it and its a feeling of just very like dry laugh haha i love genderfluid rep in media amiright . #if i kin a character theyre genderfluid sorry . #if i kin them theyre aroace too . rip to u #ZHONGLI zhongli is my baby babygirl for being so genderfluid in canon and its such tiny lore that nobody fucking talks ab it #so then i get to keep it in my heart #thats the other thing to actually every genderfluid mf is like omg theyre so mysterious and sexy #wow youre a girl ... and then youre a BOY .. .. #thats such a thing actually ive seen it mildly here n there but its like omg theyre hot ...
