Not to sound too insane or delusional right now BUT...
I was looking at pictures of Roger and my attention got caught by the jolly roger on his hat.
Specifically on the mustache of his jolly roger, and suddenly I realised that it reminded me of something...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Luffy's twirly eyebrows during the gear 5's transformation!
And that's even more weird because if you think about it, jolly rogers are supposed to represent the captain of a crew, right? Like Whitebeard's jolly roger has exactly the same type of mustache he has, Luffy's one has a straw hat, Shank's one has his three scars and so on...
But Roger doesn't have his mustache curved like that or even of that white/light colour. He has normal (and beautiful) black mustache!
So... Why did Roger choose that kind of jolly roger, when it doesn't represent how he normally looks? 👀
You know what I'm hinting at right? Even without taking into account all the similarities between Luffy and Roger's behaviour...
Also I know that the fruit hasn't been awakened in 800 years, but it can't be a coincidence that the moustache on his jolly roger looks exactly like it would've looked like if he ate the fruit (and then awakened it)... even if we know that nobody between the era of Joyboy from 800 years ago and Luffy in the present has ever awakened the fruit, Oda might have still drawn his jolly roger like that for a reason that is linked to that specific devil fruit...
Or I might be wrong and it doesn't have anything to do with it, but in that case the question still remains... why did he choose a jolly roger that is so different from him?

I just think it's kinda poetic that Buck, full of life and love, the one who wears his heart on his sleeve and is so open and cheerful, who loves with everything he has no matter the consequences, the one who's terrified of being alone and left behind, was hanging, out in the open to be saved by the family he chose, the family that chose him. But Eddie, the guarded and careful, the guardian, the soldier, the one who hides behind a carefully build wall because he's afraid of failing everyone else around him in a degree that ends with him ignoring his own pain, was trapped and had to save himself.

Scenes of Iomene and Oscar in the time after.
I have no excuses for why I wrote this except [screams]. PURE SELF-INDULGENT HEADCANON. It takes place over a long, undefined length of time.
Tumblr media
Iomene wraps her arms around Oscar's shoulders by the back and at her firm embrace, he leans into her.
His shoulders are broad so she's not able to envelop him completely. They stand at roughly the same height -either by design or some trick of the eye, he's got the impression she ought to be taller- and she's strong enough that he leans without worry of pushing her back.
She rests her chin on his shoulder and looks at the subject of his attention, the storm going outside the tall windows. Behind the curtain of rain, the thinner trees bend under the force of the wind, branches lashing against themselves and on the studier trunks, leaves sway like clothes on a line.
Their eyes cross on the faint reflection on the glass. In contrast to all that is fair in him, his eyes are like two dark marbles, a brown so deep and dark it's almost black; hers resemble her skin, an inhuman ambar like brandy on fire. Whenever she holds his stare to hers, he has the unsettling thought that she can or might be reading his thoughts.
Taking a break? He asks.
Thought I come see you.
He breathes out a laugh. You didn't have to.
The first time it happened he asked if it was her doing, the rain. It wasn't without reason, she had told him this place wasn't entirely real, the mansion -or palace if you lived in the places Oscar had- was almost a personal limbo, between veils, not outside of the Fairelands but not in it either.
Close enough it influences what happens here, she had told him.
If it rains there, it rains here?
She had shaken her head. No, fluctuations in Bleed cause this. I lived in flood and pain when war was at its highest, then in waist-deep snow as it died down.
He had also told her it reminded him of the accident and she held him steadily for what must've been hours if those had any meaning there.
Her breath has a complex rich scent, never bad but never something recognizable; a new, intriguing smell.
I don't have to do anything.
I know. He rubs the back of her hand in a resemblance of reassurance. I'm alright, I promise.
I miss having someone to care for.
He takes her upper arm, his large hand almost wrapping around it, and brings her to his side so he can look at her --- she's beautiful in a way he's not used to, though he's not quite sure what was he ever used to anymore. Her skin is bronze like copper and her hair darker than any black his eyes could register, she only looked human when she stood very close.
You already care for the whole of the Fairelands. Besides, I'm literally the last person that needs caring for.
It's different. And yes, you do. Dying is not the worst thing that can happen to a person and we both know it.
He smiles, not with teeth but broadly. Darling, I'm painfully familiar with oblivion. Though I've only skirted the edges of madness.
I've dabbled in madness a fair share over millennia.
He points lazily towards the window.
Could we walk out on it? Not in permission but in safety. Every now and then I heard of toxic rain back in Newfair, especially right after the war.
It's bleed-induced, but I don't believe it's toxic. I think we could.
And without another word, she takes his hand and leads him out.
He had asked her how far the land around them stretched on the first night he had woken up in the house --- she had kept him sleeping for about a week or maybe a month, a while to dream of death, a while to adapt her world for his presence, to be shared after hundreds of years of solitude.
For as far my legs will carry me, she told him.
Are there other buildings? Other houses?
I never felt the need for them.
You build them?
With enough will and vision, I could.
So you built this? She nods. A bit big for just one person.
One needs a variety of spaces even when living alone. I thought of rebuilding the whole of Oldfaire in the beginning, I went halfway through with it, but seeing my city with none of its people really hurt me. I did replicate the shore of Seasway, not the whole ocean, but enough that it might trick the eye into thinking it's endless.
Wow... I might need a map one day.
Yes, yes, I never thought to do so, it can be a fun project if you'd willing to tackle it. But that's for later. I reshaped some quarters and cleared space so you may shape them to your liking.
I wouldn't know where to start.
I would suggest you start with your bedroom and then the library, browse through my catalogue and pick out the ones you need to assemble your own.
Why can't I use yours?
She smiles that mischievous smile of someone who knows more, who'll always know more. You'll understand when you walk in there.
He went days without moving much further than the clearing surrounding the house, went on not exploring the library and its secrets, went on trying to ignore the grief over Cosmo, and on one of those days, returned with bloodied and torn fists.
I thought I'd hurt less in here, he told her. She gestures to the water-filled bowl in front of him and he dips his hands in, and sighs at the soothing cool of it.
That'd be easier if it was like that. I'm constantly in pain, I just learned to live with it.
I assume because of the Bleed.
Yes. They both go silent and watch the blood colouring the water red. She waits for him with a towel after five minutes. I'll put ointments and bandage it, but it'll heal regardless. It'll heal as if you had never broken your skin.
Can I even die here?
You'll have to try really hard for it and even then you'd return. The magick here... This place is electrified with both life and Bleed, its own reality and limbo combined.
Oscar went around three days without seeing Iomene before daring to enter her private quarters and look for her.
She lied pale yellow on the floor of her study, cold at the extremities, not breathing. For a second he wondered if she had succeded, but just for a second --- if she had died three days ago, her body would've begun to rot and he knew they don't have that luxury.
The bleed permeated the very air he breathed but at that moment, it flooded out of her like a broken fire hydrant, it made his skin break in goosebumps upon touch and something within him to stir.
He took her in his arms and layed her inside the gold bathtub of her bathroom, clothes and all, and ran a hot bath.
Then he sat on the floor and waited for her to return.
After a quiet period of days of studying, on her part, and reading, on his --- inside the library, he understood, rows of books that the biggest library in Newfaire would never be able to comport, knowledge so old it no longer had surviving records in the world of the living, no place traversable in search of a casual read at least not in short notice ---, she invites him for a walk.
The weather was nice, not too hot like in days of excessive magick nor cold like in days of Bleed, and Iomene wore clothes shorter than any he'd ever seen her in, considering he'd only ever seen her in long pants and gowns.
She walked with a purpose for about five minutes before reaching another clearing, not a random grass field, but a perfect cone with grass cut to perfection and familiar lines.
She walked forward towards the perfectly cut circle at the head of the field while he stood stunned.
I know this means very little without peers to play with but I thought we could think of something for two or at the very least it could bring forth fond memories.
He held back tears. Yeah, we can think of something. But we'll need-
The bats and balls are right over there, she says pointing to one of the trees where beneath is an open crate with the equipment. Needless to say, I'll need some training, I'm afraid just watching didn't make me a partner up to par.
He laughed out loud, the first time she heard it. Well, if it'll be just the two of us... He studied the contents of the crate and he picked up a ball. First of all, I think I'll need you to perfect your throws.
And shooted the baseball her way.
The rain feels both exactly like it always did, but also more real, much colder even through his dress shirt, especially through it, the intensity of the rain soaking the fabric until the clothes cling to his skin.
Yet he stands under it, proper vision of his surroundings impeded by the water except that of her, standing near, long dark hair dripping and a face that could only belong to an empress.
I haven't stood in the rain in decades, I think, she shouts. There's something jovial to her in this very moment, to her smile and the way she faces the rain as it pours over her face.
With her, there is always a dichotomy --- real or fantastic, a mother or a partner, a goddess or a woman.
He ignores every restraint and every assumption, and gives in to the feelings he's still allowed in this moment: the cold making his skin prickle, the fear brought by the intense sound of the storm hitting the trees and the house's roof, but especially the searing hot draw towards the woman who doesn't flinch as she looks at the abomination of his existence --- his only equal.
Oscar closes the distance, holds her face with the scraps of gentleness he still recalls and kisses her with the ferocity of a creature fearless of death. Iomene responds with the hunger of a prisoner fed comfort and warmth, holding onto him with nails dug deep as a captive holds onto freedom.
He pulls away with blood seeping through the cracks of his lips, blinking through wet lashes.
You taste like mints, he shouts through the rain.
She's serious when she responds, I considered your preferences.
This takes him by surprise. You knew I'd kiss you?
She smiles with her eyes.
No. But I've been hoping one day you would.

I know there are as many religious good guys as there are religious bad guys in IDW, but I think I pinned down the reason why it feels like the most prominent religious figures are all bad guys and it's pretty much due to the worldbuilding.
Maybe my memory of the comics is just really bad, but the religious worldbuilding in IDW is....kind of trash honestly. I'm not sure there's a single religion or religious custom that doesn't exist solely to further the plot along. Like, it's one thing for the Camiens to worship the Primes and that causes a lot of stuff in exRID/OP, but what does that worship actually look like? What are their holidays, customs, religious texts? What about "spectralism" which basically the only thing we know about is the Festival of the Lost Light and some hippie color coding and aura shit? Like sure, there are characters who are religious and their beliefs come into play sometimes, but it honestly feels (especially in MTMTE) more like their religiousness only exists when it's relevant to the plot and it's just kinda. Disappointing eh. Lacking in worldbuilding. Plus the more religious a character is the more it's written as their entire personality and the driving force making them evil so it just kinda made me cringe to read honestly.
#squiggposting#i think there might be more 'religious moments' than i remember since it's been a hot minute since i read#but i remember during my first read/while liveblogging it was something that disappointed me#i know it's probably unfair or whatever but it still makes me cringe so hard#that the reason tyrest suddenly became a religious zealot was because he got shot with a brain altering bullet#and his religious fervor is almost literally just a product of him being brain damaged and delusional#like oooooooooooooooooooooooof it's so fucking cringe lol#i'm not sure if i'm making sense honestly. it's not so much the NUMBER of evil vs non evil religious characters#but it's more like. the more prominently religion is part of a character's personality or motivation#the odds of them just being an evil guy shoots up to almost 100%#also then there's dr/ft who's a fucking clown and 'spectralism' is just some half baked hippie shit i can't take seriously#guess my problem isn't with IDW so much as it is with JRO lol#anyways not an objective analysis i might be wrong on some counts that was just my feelings as i read#and also i just don't like it when the worldbuilding around culture only exists when it comes to plot related stuff#it really makes the world feel less lived in/realistic when it's established that there are multiple religions#but then as far as actual customs- beliefs- texts- philosophies- etc there's hardly anything#so the good guys may be religious but there's not much about what their beliefs actually entail and how they impact their daily life#and on the other hand the bad guys are screaming about how they're god's chosen all over the place

Hi, did you want more breed opinions by Manda?
Here’s my take on every single Gen 3 post and pre mouth rig, with comments! Also this is just my opinion, but I will fight Dorian over this, and it’s fine if you don’t agree, I have some fucking Takes in here (It’s also really fucking long so if you want me to slap on a read more just @ me lmfao)
Gen 3s pre-mouth rig I think hold up: Lusitano (I think it’s still really good for an early gen 3 and still baffled by how well it has aged for me, do think it’s a little sad that its mane looks so pancake flat in the fastest gallop but since it looks good everywhere else it’s fine) North Swedish (I have mixed feelings on it nowadays but the model is amazing, really didn’t need that animations upgrade though) Akhal-Teke (I personally don't like it and you won’t catch me buying it, but I do think it’s good as far as gen 3s go) Trakehner (I miss the original animations every day but it's still amazing, enough said) Starter Pony (Despite it all it still holds up I think, I much prefer the model though, the animations look a little wack, especially the legs which I think have a weird sense of needing to be that thick but the thickness makes the animations look Super weird) Jorvik Warmblood (Hot takes with Manda I love the gen 3 starter I think it's really fucking good, I love its animations I think it has a good translation from gen 1.5 I think it deserves better, pay it some fucking respect) Marwari (I have a lot of takes on the Marwari but outside of its fastest gallop I think it's absolutely great still, really good colours too) Irish Cob (Might be one of the objectively best pre-mouth gen 3s if I'm being honest? Not my favourite but it's stellar, and I think it deserves all the hype) Knabstrupper (More hot takes with Manda I think this horse is perfectly good and I think we were all just really skewed on its actual quality by it realising after, y'know, the irish cob, you won't see me buying it myself but I will put some damn respect on its poor name) Clydesdale (I admit this is a lot of me just loving this breed, but it's really good I think it's cute and distinct and its animations with Maybe the exception of the walk still look good and I love it so much)
Gen 3s pre-mouth rig I don't think hold up: Connemara (It's the first gen 3 and sadly I think it shows) Curly (I personally adore this breed but even I can admit those animations were dead on arrival, fucking amazing colours though, and the curls on the coat are Amazing) Chincoteague (I will admit this is my least favourite breed in the entire game so the bias might be biasing but I don't think it's that good personally and honestly it never was, same animations issues as the starter pony since they share them, Idonno the smaller pony breeds have never worked for me) Andalusian (Okay, more hot takes, but I have never really liked this horse that much and its all because of the legs being Way too skinny for the rest of the model and that in turn makes the animations look worse, so I don't personally think it's that good especially nowadays, the starter pony anti-thesis if you will) Fjord (I love the Fjord but if you in 2023 still have the worst saddle placement in the game you're sadly just not gonna cut it anymore, the model is cute though) English Thoroughbred (See this is a weird one to me, because I think it's good, I just don't think it's That good still? I can't really explain this one the vibes are just off, I still own three of them though but objectively there's a disconnect, subjectively I love the long boi)
Gen 3s post-mouth rig I think are good: American Paint Horse (Okay, I will admit, this is definitely lower on the hypothetical ranking, But, it has grown on me, and I think it's generally a good horse, but you Need the mane with a singular braid for it to look good, otherwise I hate it) Appaloosa (Hello and welcome to Manda's first contender for best horse in the game! I love the appaloosa and I was So surprised about it because I expected to hate it knowing my track record with western aligned breeds, fucking adore it though it's my best friend) Belgian Warmblood (Solid fucking warmblood sports horse, super good animations too, it only has one colour that I enjoy but that's all I need baby) Finnhorse (Okay, here's the thing, I think the finnhorse is Very divisive and I think that's fine, I however am joining the war on the finnhorse on the side of the finnhorse, aslong as it's the sunbleached one, every other colour sucks, the sunbleached is one of my favourite horses in the game though) Haflinger (Really fucking good! I think it's a great remake of a good gen 2 that isn't Too hard on the literal convertion, it looks good while still being distinctly a gen 3 and I appreciate that, one of the most gorgeous manes in the game too) Icelandic Horse (The anti-thesis to the Haflinger, I think it looks a little too much like the gen 2, both model and especially animation wise, but I think it's still very good, I only like the white colour but otherwise it's fine, I appreciate what SSE tried to do with its mane but I don't think it payed off much) Morgan (What the fuck, a post-release upgrade I actually enjoy? Okay, I haven't seen too much of the gen 3 morgan, But I do enjoy what I have seen, the updated coats are nice, and I think it's more haflinger aligned as far as upgrades go, still sad the gray gen 2 coat didn't get transferred though) Paso Fino (Welcome to round 2 of Manda's contenders for best horse in the game! I think the paso fino's absolutely amazing, I have the exact same gripe with it as I do with the lusitano though, I think its mane looks pretty bad in the fastest gallop because it looks way too flat, but I think it's otherwise gorgeous, lovely horse so glad it exists) Percheron (And hello and welcome to the final round of Manda's contenders for the best horse in the game, or, well, objectively the best horse in the game, subjectively this is my favourite, I think it's gorgeous, has some absolutely stellar colours, great animations, and the best mane in the fucking game, which is its alternate braid hairstyle, SSE please hire the temporary employee who made them again I beg of you) Shire (A little bit of poor man's percheron for me personally but I think they're excellent, I have some beef with their colours but I think it's a solid fucking breed, good horse, friendshaped) Tennessee Walking Horse (I think it's cute, I love that its in the game, I adore its animations and I think it's so refreshing to see a natural tennessee walker, however I think its colours are hit or miss, and I haven't really gotten a proper opinion on it yet because it's so new and I haven't been able to evaluate it properly yet, looks to be good though! Still absolutely puzzled over that ghost release though) Gotland (This is the only pony breed in the game I can earnestly say I like, but that is also very high praise because I adore the gotland so much, absolutely stellar little guy, great animations, great colours, super cute model, love them so much) Jorvik Wild Horse (I still think this is one of the best horses SSE has ever made and I think it's the only fictional breed that truly captures the potential of what that actually means, it's just a solidly good horse what can I say) Arabian (This one also had to grow on me a lot, it took a while but I have settled no me liking it quite a bit, I think it's a good gen 3, it's not my favourite but just based on what it is I think it's a breed that did what it had to do)
Gen 3s post-mouth rig I don't think are good: Friesian (You already know what I think of this horse, absolutely everything wrong with this game and company thrown together into one disaster of a release) Quarter (I think it's good that it exists, I don't like it though, I think the colours are too desaturated and plasticy, and I personally just don't vibe with it at all) Welsh Pony (See I'm conflicted on this one, because I want to like it, but it's a pony, which is already an uphill battle for me, and it's a very stick-like kind of pony, which is even worse, I think it's a little too horse toy for me, but I do think it's pretty damn solid despite me just. not vibing with it much)

i remember reading this one piece that said paredes apparently used to get into confrontations with other psg teammates over messi and their treatment of him 😭😭. i wouldn't wish psg on anyway but honestly i'd rather he come back because if he comes back then leo's likely to stay and HEAR ME OUT!!! bassa's out while laporta's there and as much as i'd love premier league, it doesn't seem likely esp since he gave his all for the wc and is now lowkey injured like he was after the copa :( the other options are ass as hell. so it's either retirement or psg, pick your poison 💀. i also read that mbappe's prob leaving this summer, though that was the athletic so a tad more reliable. not saying this shadily, just in the vein of psg transfers 😭
inside my askbox there are two wolves (anons):
