On my walk home from the cafe I was thinking about Sanji (as one does) and how every influence in his life for 19 years screamed at him to hunker down, stay silent, and never appear weak.

As much as I love Zeff and know he loved Sanji, it's clear he has such a straight-laced and unflinching view of masculinity and what it means to be a man. The environment on the Baratie was an extension of that.

It was a machismo world where affection was hidden behind kicks to the head and insults. The kind of environment where cutting your hand or something gets a response of "what? You call that an injury? Don't cry over nothing". Where outright kindness has to be dragged out of people, and then immediately covered up with a half-baked insult.

Throw into that environmemt a little boy who is desperate to prove he's not the failure he was told he was, and out pops a man who wears his heart on his sleeve for "acceptable manly emotions" but who hides real emotions behind anger, and hides pain (physical or emotional) altogether so as not to seem weak.

Tack onto that the idea that the only surefire way to show love is through self sacrifice (his mom + Zeff), then of course Sanji will be all sorts of jacked up.

We see throughout the series how Sanji is so unwilling to be vulnerable or to even admit he's feeling hurt at all. Plaster a smile on, make some comment about loving women, and voila! He's the man's man everyone expects. No need to worry about him. After all: he's strong.

...🥺

#op meta #the news coo latest #sanji #i have like 10 different sanji-centric fics rolling around in the ol' noggin #but every single one of them features at least one scene where someone (Zoro) sees through his hyper-masculine bullshit #what really interests me is when sanji is forced to confront that fucked up view of the self he has #like for example: Zoro gets hurt and allows himself to rest or something and is unapologetically fine with being 'weak' #sanji so desperately wants to rib him for it but zoro is so stoic about it that he starts to realize 'oh...its ok...to not be ok? publicly?' #imma sit here and stew on this for awhile #Anyway the coffee from the cafe is good but now I need to go read as much Sanji trauma dump fic I can get my hands on lol #to be clear btw: i dont doubt zeff cared for sanji when he was down but i feel sanji had to be in a bad way to get the 'real emotions'

"Maria and Rhett knew each other way back when, they went to high school together. (...)Yeah, I think the spark is immediate because I think they maybe, secretly, always wanted to be together."

"I think that it's one of those relationships that never happened and never was but it was almost. And, I think, spending so much time apart, one can tend to fantasize what could be. (...) All of that ease of them seeing each other again is right there and it's almost as if they never left each other's side." - Isa and Lew on Maria and Rhett in an interview with Down and Nerdy(x)

"I also love that I get to tell a story about love in this really crazy, scary world(...) and we really want to root for them!" - Isa in an interview with SciFi Vision(x)

i will never get over how nice people are about my work, reading people's comments after i post is so gratifying godddd you guys rock <3

This past year has been unbelievably wild, it's hard for me to express it in words tbh. I'm so thankful for you guys and for everyone supporting and encouraging me as I've been diving head first into art stuff, ngl it's the compliments and interactions I have with others that have been helping me get through an otherwise unbelievably busy and stressful year (even if it's good stress). Looking forward to summer break in a few weeks when I can get my life a bit more balanced and rest up a bit :)

#txt #ramble #i'm just so. appreciative for it all #like man #getting really positive reception after the doubt of whether a piece will come across well or not is an experience like no other #like ngl i've been kinda floored by the responses to these last two pieces cause i kinda assumed there wasn't enough time put into them #i wouldve still liked if i had managed my time better and was able to do like cleaner line work and stuff #but there's also something cool about realizing i can still achieve something good in a short timespan #and that i don't need to spend multiple weeks on a piece for it to be good #maybe this should be in the posts but oh well i guess people reading the tags get bonus ramblings lol

An extract from kbizoom.com

Regarding the news of Season 3 production, Shin Jae Ha said, “Since Ha Joon is already dead in the drama, it is highly likely that I would not appear the next season, but I’m still cautiously hoping to join the team in Season 3”, adding “I had so much fun filming the drama with the seniors so I want to work with them again. I’m upset that my character has killed so many people, so I personally want On Ha Joon to return alive as a member of Rainbow Taxi Company. If not, I really want to come out as Ha Joon’s twin brother”.

JUST GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS 😭

If you want text, kingbdogz on Twitter, the dev who is pretty much in charge and responsible for sculk and the deep dark and the warden, has talked about the sculk various times

But at least from one video about the sculk, the deep dark biome literally comes from the void (so it generates as low as possible in the world) and catalysts are the stomachs of the sculk

(Link to the video I believe is being referenced)

First of all, holy SHIT you should not have told me about this because there's SO MUCH- sculk's visuals being inspired by opals?! are you KIDDING me sculk RULES

Second of all- I Was Right About Everything The Whole Time And None Of You TOLD ME

To be pedantic (because I think it holds huge importance to the lore of it), the deep dark biome itself was described as having an anchor point below bedrock- which doesn't necessarily mean it's *from* the void, just that its intended to be as close to it as possible. Whether or not it comes FROM the void massively affects its intended purpose

GOD it's awesome hearing sculk being confirmed as a living thing though, And further confirmation of the souls-exp correlation. However, the specifics of how its described makes me question whether it was 'created' by the civilization it ultimately destroyed. Language barriers are a factor here, but the fact that its described as 'having found itself' underground makes me think its an organism taken from elsewhere. This WOULD still require external interference, and likely major editing, as we don't see any mirrors of it elsewhere, so it's definitely still at least partially artificial.

The Warden being described as a defense system For the sculk is also interesting- continuing to presume the sculk was created/edited for defense against the End/Void, this would imply the sculk Itself is the defense, instead of merely being the infrastructure required to support and transport the Warden as I'd previously assumed. If we assume it was edited rather than created, though, its very possible that my original thoughts were correct, with the Warden being the intended defense, and the sculk simply being brought along as the necessary precondition for using him.

I do also want to quickly note that electricity is a major factor in real-life living things, so the sculk interfacing with redstone isn't Too wild, but the fact that it gives out a strong enough signal to register on devices not specifically designed for that is notable. No other living thing in minecraft can trigger redstone without an additional connecting layer (like an observer) as far as i know! And it's obviously something that was being studied, if not actively used. The main question there is if it naturally had that trait, or it was amplified or introduced artificially

SCULK!!!!!!

#letters #theories #also twitter is straight up unusable so I'd basically need an external record of tweets in order to get anything out of it 😔 #i Refuse to make an account just to read tweets and I honestly doubt it'd work even then #it was also funny watching those videos where its always a Huge point how Scary and Horrifying the deep dark & warden are #i imagine its like listening to people being scared of the ocean when you personally would live in the sea if you could #thats just my dad lol hes not that scary. sculk is pretty. just get quiet loser #i can maybe see why nobody told me i was right now actually. i will only get worse from here

“my baby is blond with blue eyes and all the italian nonnas wanted to hold him ☺️” “my baby has red hair and all the old ladies wanted to play with him” “my baby has blue eyes and all the abuelas in the bus were all over him” etc etc makes me think… why is the physical description relevant lol— you think if your baby had brown eyes all the old ladies would be disinterested?

here’s the thing: i totally get people have real lives outside of the internet. we all do. we all have a shit going on outside of this silly little website.

but when I see people who kept asking me about this sequel constantly reblog other fics and ignore mine, it’s silly but it’s a sad feeling after i’ve put so much time and effort into this because i had a handful of mutuals and people hype this up.

that’s not to say you can’t read or boost what you want, but then y’all wonder why fandoms fizzle out so easily anymore. i see this happen so often with mutuals and their work too. it sucks for any of us.

notes aren’t everything, and honestly, i’m still thrilled to this day when something reaches like. 20 notes. if that. but when you’ve got support on an idea and at first and everyone just kinda ignores it when you finally post it, it hurts ngl.

i’m still gonna keep going with this series bc i’m still really enjoying writing it. but this is probably the last time i’ll take comments like the ones who asked for a follow up into consideration again. i’d rather write for myself again if it means not being letdown.

no one come @ me for venting please, i see y’all do it all the time while you never support other writers to begin with, so keep it to yourself. thanks.

#like i don’t get it…… is it because it’s not smut (yet) lmao? #i get the first series was mainly that but it still had a lot with the backstories through it all…? #i’ve been doubting if i’m even decent at writing anymore but then i see y’all go nuts over the filthy fics so who fucking knows #also i know it’s heavier stuff in some chapters but still. just. blech. #i’m hoping with the happier ones people will read those but who fucking knows lol

ninjago fandom when ppl stop mischaracterising wu as a one note shitty old guy and realise hes a complex character with just as much of his own trauma as everyone else in the show

#someday i need to make a proper post abt this bc. it makes me a bit crazy LOL #wu is like first and foremost charatwrised by his desire to be like. The Good Child #its been shown wus Default personality is like this cheeky reckless optimist #from like. eps like never trust a human and also. baby wu. in s8-9 #hes rude but hes trusting. very naive in conparison to garmadon whos more reserved and responsible at this point #its only once garmadon gets bitten that he starts to change #once again im begging u guys to read the spinjitzu brothers books. LOL #but over them u can rllyyyy see wu losing this kinda .. naive aspect to him and losing hope in his brother as well #u see him start to doubt himself more and more that garm can be ‘fixed’ #which. well. wu follows after the fsm in this aspect #wu very obviously aspires to be like his father (wearing his hat and clothes and using his staff etc) #when the fsm sends them to find a cure for garm.. wu goes with it. despite garms protests that hes not broken #wu has a Lot of responsibilty on him from very younv as the son of the fsm #and even more so once garmadon becomes like. a lost cause and source of evil or whatever the fuck #the fsm is not kind. in the books someone mentions being thrown out of his home after being accused of stealing #and the brothers agree that sounds like him Alright #canonically the reason wu woukdnt climb over the wall was bc he was afraid of his father catching him. #and wu feels like. immense guilt for garmadon being bitten int he first place. #it seems wus coping mechanism for anything hes ashamed of is… to just hide it. or simply Not Tell You #hence things like morro. he never spoke of morro bc of the guilt of failing to care for him properly.. and Partly bc he failed as a teacher #circling abck to wu imitating the fsm. #wu makes mistakes constantly bc thats who he is! deep down hes reckless and naive but hides it behind this like … aloof wisdom #also i think the parallels u can draw in s9 from him growing up w the expecations to save the ninja.. #w the expectations HE put on the ninja himself… and also similarities w his (first) childhood #very interesting. #i rlly love the line in crystalised when antonia point sout hes recruited children to fight before #bc u can see him Realise. and i dont think its that he just puts this pressure on the ninja bc he doenst care. he just doesnt See #how hes continuing this awful cycle that started w the fsm INT HE FUCKING DRAGON ONI WAR!!!!!!!!! #anyway i cld talk abt this forver but i ran out of tags WEEEEE!!! #farts

[greensaplinggrace]

just saw the words "darkling manipulated every female he interacted with" and I think this fandom might actually be tanking at this point. there seems to be absolutely no room for real critical analysis anymore, and honestly I'm beginning to think most of these people haven't even read these books - or that they did so with a freshman year knowledge of literary analysis.

the people on this site really will just say things huh. I used to be able to read anti posts and get a lot out of them, because they were interesting and often accurate readings of a text that I simply interpreted differently. and it helped me form my own arguments and essay points a lot better! now the anti tag is kind of useless. it's just a bunch of puritanical nonsense, and it legitimately feels like it was written by privileged white people who have never experienced real life before.

and really? "female"? how am I supposed to take you seriously about your apparent interest in feminism when you speak like a misogynist.

#shadow and bone #grishaverse #sab #sab discourse #i need to take a step back from this fandom #this is negative and im sorry but this is depressing #i used to actually like the anti side of this fandom #or at least the people who were talking sense and not just spouting echo chamber nonsense #i mean have any of these people even read the books? #i doubt it #they're just copying their friends at this point lol #whatever #i need to take another fucking english lit course or something to wash this taste out of my mouth #why is it so hard to find reasonable analysis in fandom tags? #what do people gain by lying?? #negative #fandomcourse #myramblings #anti darkling bs #every day it seems like the tag gets stupider ngl

[thelittlemermage]

Actually, I do completely understand how and why Gen Z came to feel the way they do about internet/fandom culture. I just think their solution to fixing the issue is misguided and more reactionary than solution-oriented based on personal trauma. The open internet and fandom culture itself was never built for small children to be able to safely wander around in. There were specific spaces for children like Neopets, Disney.com games, stuff like that. You wouldn’t have a little kid on social media. There was no social media. You’d have forums and myspace at best. Youtube was literally built because the creator wanted to show an uncensored nip slip. So the idea of protecting children was not a necessity because children were not online yet in the way adults or older teenagers were online.

What happened was technology progresses at and extremely fast rate. Faster than you can move around content on the internet or develop a different culture where kids are expected to just be around. And this unfortunately happened alongside child-friendly sites being eliminated. I’d say even with those sites tho, no one should have ever been giving two year olds ipads with unrestricted internet access. None of these kids should have been in the position to be able to come across fandom porn without their parents noticing. That’s crazy to me. My parents would check what sites I was visiting on our family computer. I think these kids were failed by ignorant parents and just...our ability to create technology faster than we know what to do with it. I think it’s horrifying we have a generation of kids who were all exposed to porn at a young age. I think a lot of things they say and do are because it fucked up their view of sex. And that’s not their fault, but I think a lot of young adults probably need to be in therapy about it and idk if they’re aware. Attacking art on the internet can’t heal your inner child. But I’m getting ahead of things.

I think we can all agree a lot of shit came to a head with MLP fandom. Those guys generated an unprecedented amount of porn, even for fandom. And this was also at a time when a lot of kids were now online and looking up their favorite shows. I don’t think there could be worse timing for anything. I don’t even want to say MLP fandom was all bad, a lot of them dedicated time to rounding up nsfw images that show up in google search and reporting it. But it was definitely a huge shitshow that I think molded a lot of people’s ideas of cartoon porn on the internet.

I still find the idea of a “kid’s fandom” oxymoronic because until recently a fandom for any cartoon would not be a “kid’s fandom”. It would be a fandom of adults and teens talking about a show that as aimed at kids, but no one would find that particularly relevant. Because the people present were not young kids. Animaniacs was actually one of the first big fandoms on the internet and it was big with college students. (Btw I feel like someone is going to purposefully start something because I keep referring to kids and teens separately. This is because there is obviously a huge difference developmentally in what content say a 7 year old and a 17 year old can handle. Whether or not a 17 year old should look at adult content, it’s not going to fuck them up the way it would a prepubescent child. I think that’s obvious. Trust and believe I’d look at a lot of shit I wasn’t supposed to as a teen and that was a purposeful choice on my part. I don’t have any particular regrets about this and I don’t feel any disgust towards sexual content, nor did I at the time. But if I was a little kid and it was being shoved in my face at random, I imagine I’d have to shit to work through. So for clarity, that’s what I mean.) I think fandom in the current year would look at something like patb fandom and be like “yea, a kid’s show for kids. It’s a kid fandom.” Maybe it would be currently, idk, but until now everyone here was in their 20′s and 30′s because it’s a show from the 90′s. So I do think there’s a culture gap in the understanding of what a fandom even looks like.

Ultimately tho, and this is my opinion based on living through all of it so far, I don’t think the problem is with the type of content people make. Frankly, having grown up in a time when every other fic was untagged noncon (because believe it or not, it’s a very common fetish and I promise that has not changed as much as people act shocked and outraged by it now. The same amount of people are still into it. They’re just in an environment where all their friends would come after them if they knew and they aren’t stupid. So they join in attacking others, but just know a lot of your friends do read it on the side, regardless of what they say publicly. 🤷‍♀️I see those kudos.) and I’ve never been as disgusted and genuinely distressed by that as I have with how real living people are treated in fandom today. It makes me sick to my stomach the things people do to each other. Fanfic and fanart have NEVER triggered me. This shit does. That CANNOT be the solution. It’s an impossible fight to begin with to eliminate everything you don’t like from fandom. And really things have come a long way with tagging believe it or not. I can avoid things like never before. So actually going out of your way to attack something you don’t NEED to look at just because it exists is just stupid to me. I’m not sure how purposefully looking at stuff you hate actually helps you with not seeing the things you hate. People obviously won’t agree with me, but I don’t think your art defines your morals. Art can be/mean anything, and I don’t personally want to live in a world that dictates “immoral” art as illegal because it’s obvious where that sort of thing can lead and it’s not pretty. (I do not necessarily agree with everything people make. I just think censorship is ultimately worse like...as far as real world ramifications go.) What you do to other people determines what kind of person you are. It’s weird this is even an unpopular opinion, but it is. You can treat others like absolute trash and still be seen as a good person so long as they “deserved it” for making The Wrong Kind Of Art. Which varies depending on which fandom you’re in anyway. And I really can’t get behind hurting people for reasons that are often so arbitrary to me.

I think the issue is just. The internet exists and kids are on it and there’s no place for them. And I really don’t know what the solution for that is. Because fandom aside, the internet is the internet. There are random porn ads on any given site, tiktok can lead you down an alt right rabbit hole in a matter of hours, twitter is....twitter lol. It’s a hostile environment for anyone these days tbh. I don’t think kids should be exposed to any of that. I think childhood is shrinking in our culture. Kids don’t have a tween phase anymore. It’s like you’re a kid and then you’re expected to look and act like a mini adult. It’s sad to me. I think that’s why a lot of people want to recapture some type of innocence and childhood. You were pushed out of it way too fast. There’s some state I think that was proposing children be banned from the internet until they’re 18. While that would be cool for me, I think that’s dangerous in a different way given how a lot of extreme alt right parents are starting to homeschool their kids. I think it’s more about putting a stopper on information than about protecting kids. And I think this would have a devastating effect on queer kids in particular. So idk. There has to be something in between we can do.

More than anything I wish we could all work together to try to fix this because I don’t think people WANT to see kids get hurt. We’re all on the same side at the end of the day. But I think the environment is too hostile to actually achieve anything useful atm. 🤷‍♀️I think that sucks. I’d love for fandom to be a fun and close-knit community again. It’s something that always meant a lot to me growing up and I think it’s sad people can no longer have what I had. But I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

#these aren't in any way fighting words lol #I think it's a really important conversation and I do wish more people were having it #even if you disagree with me #tho tbh I doubt anyone who generally disagrees with me will be reading all that lol #people do not like when I get all wordy :p #Kind of funny imo. But I have a lot of thoughts on things so 🤷‍♀️ #if any of you can be polite tho I do encourage conversation #generally I think people just fundamentally misunderstand each other
