#in all i'm really glad i bit the bullet and wrote and posted an op fic back in december

i'm excited for the one piece live action, and i think a big part of it, to me, at least, is because there's such a sense of community with it. you're not watching it alone! maybe not everyone is into it, but those who are are excited and we're excited together! i'm excited to watch it with people and experience it with people, and be a part of it with others. i hope it's silly, i hope it's goofy, i hope the cast and crew had a blast with their heart and soul. i hope arlong park and the duel with mihawk pull at my heartstrings. i hope seeing sanji, luffy, and usopp's backstories make me hold my face in my hands. it's been a few months now, almost a year, but i still feel so new to one piece in the grand scheme of things, but i'm having so much fun. i'm not kidding when i say i'm having a blast, because the people i've met so far have been so cool and so welcoming, and i don't regret a minute. i'm so excited.

#we are sharing an experience! #the east blue saga might not be new material but the experience will be new to us #i've only been into one piece since mid-december but this fandom is so big and has been here for so long #that everything still feels new and that's so great #there's always something new! there's always something else! and there are always things to reexamine #i think that's why i like doing a liveblog as i watch the anime BECAUSE i get to share it with other people. we're watching together #i'm also excited to watch something more recent vs watching something everyone else saw 10 years ago lmao #in all i'm really glad i bit the bullet and wrote and posted an op fic back in december #because i almost talked myself out of it #the people i've met have been great and i hope you know i appreciate you guys and am glad to have met you :') #one piece #opla #kate blabs #you're getting my typos rip to them
