#it’s a given

[assiraphales]

I love zoro saving luffy but luffy saving zoro will always have a special place in my heart, esp when zoro's surprised abt it. It's like a reciprocated sweet gesture that he never expects to get.

Like that one scene where they were fighting kaido and luffy stopped him from attacking zoro and said to zoro, "sorry... now you have no reason to die."

every time I wonder what luffy feels regarding zoro's sacrifice in Thriller Bark I feel that it's not going to be a sappy "why did you do it?!" or a pent-up anger of "you really don't have to!"

I feel luffy will let him do whatever he wants because he doesn't want to get in zoro's way of living. Including how he protected his captain, but he can't help feeling sad or lost at the idea of losing zoro.

one of luffy’s biggest expressions of love when it comes to his first mate is by understanding him. because he and zoro are, when it comes down to it, very similar. there’s a reason they fit so snugly within hours of knowing each other. they’re dreamers, they value their freedom, they find joy in adventure, they love the thrill of a fight, they’re a little silly, they’re good fiercely loyal and devoted. and luffy respects zoro so much. he respects his strength and abilities, but above all his choices. when zoro fought mihawk luffy stood on the sidelines watching until he was struck down and did not interfere. even mihawk comments on this, on how luffy let zoro have this battle, and it is one of the reasons he calls them a good pair. luffy would do anything to protect and keep zoro by his side, but it is always zoro's choice (and freedom) to put his life on the line (even if luffy isn’t happy about it)

#zoro’s expression of love for luffy is very loud in comparison to luffy’s #but that’s because for luffy it’s like breathing #it’s a given #of COURSE he loves zoro #of COURSE he’s impossibly important to him #of COURSE he’s special to him #and you can see it in soooooo many small moments thru the series #zolu

Thinking about Mike and Will going crazy (together) next season

#byler #it’s a given #they have to go crazy together #the set up is too astronomical #I think they’ll go crazy by themselves at first and think they’re all alone in their feelings #but then they’ll realize they’re going crazy together (have mutual feelings) #and BOOM #idk what will happen but it’ll happen

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

#i think about this story sometimes like yeah I'm proud of them for that too actually. good job baby brothers #they're not babies anymore of course they're turning 20 next year which is crazy #but they're still the type of people who'd do something if they saw something of this sort happen for sure #respectful of women and everyone else too. they're good guys #I'm glad I ended up with them living in my house against my will for like 14 years #anyway i have no idea where i was for all this but my best guess is probably a friends house given the time period #i was always at my besties house lol #i hope she's doing well too actually. haven't spoken in forever... #bestie from greek elementary school... if you're out there... let's get muffins and fanta at the bakery across the street again someday 💜☮️

I just think that 'animals are living intelligent creatures that have feelings and deserve to be respected' and 'when done properly farming is beneficial to both people and animals and there's nothing wrong with raising and killing animals for food, clothing, and other products' are concepts that very much can and should coexist

#i think a lot of people get too carried away in farming discourse to actually remember both of these things #some people are so aggressively anti-farming that they forget that meat and fur are necessary for some people #and that farming helps prevent overhunting of certain species #but some people are so aggressively pro-farming that they begin to think of animals as objects #that only exist to provide them with a product #animals deserve to be treated with respect and be given the best care possible while they're alive #but that doesn't mean that its a bad thing for them to die

Robot characters who are given names like SL-308-62 but instead of their human friend going Well let's call you Sally for short, they instead ask the other if they Like their current name.

"Do you like your serial number?" they ask. "Yes, quite. It reminds me of who I am" the robot replies. "I have heard others like me go by different names after some time, and maybe one day I'll choose one for myself, too. But right now that is my full name, yes" they continue.

Because it's not your decision to make whether or not the robot will receive a new name. It should be theirs only. What's the difference? One is more complex and the other is simplified. They were both given by strangers instead of themselves.

"62 will do," they conclude. "It's my model number - there will be no other 62 after me."

#silly example #just thinking about seven threes full serial number. i appreciate that its current given name stems from it #not in a dehumanizing way. not to me. thats who it is. #📡 incoming transmission 📡 #self insert #selfshipping #selfship #self ship #robot f/o #robots

Expanding a thought from a conversation this morning:

In general, I think "Is X out-of-character?" is not a terribly useful question for a writer. It shuts down possibility, and interesting directions you could take a character.

A better question, I believe, is "What would it take for Character to do X?" What extremity would she find herself in, where X starts to look like a good idea? What loyalties or fears leave him with X as his only option? THAT'S where a potentially interesting story lies.

In practice, I find that you can often justify much more from a character than you initially dreamed you could: some of my best stories come from "What might drive Character to do [thing he would never do]?" As long as you make it clear to the reader what the hell pushed your character to this point, you've got the seed of a compelling story on your hands.

If you want to write a dumb little story with a dumb little plot and ridiculously silly characters. No one's stopping you. Genuinely, no one should be allowed to stop you. Write that dumb story with your whole heart and don't hold back.

My brother-in-law has a Thing where he gives me increasingly rare copies of The Bee Movie and it’s long since gone from “Goofy running gag” to “I don’t know how much money he’s willing to commit to this bit and it Scares Me.”

Where the fuck can we go from here

#my life #bee movie #he’s already given me the academy For Your Consideration copy #and copies in greek mandarin and korean #AND copies of the bee movie video game AND pez dispensers AND christmas ornaments #AND bee movie converse sneakers distributed only to members of the cast and crew #at this point i fully expect to find the severed head of jerry seinfeld in a box this christmas #10k #20k

Time-warped or travel scenario where Bruce gets launched back into a younger version of himself with all the memories and the first thing he does is goes and gets Dick Grayson right after his parents' death, then pick up Jason, arrange about a million playmates to get Tim out of his house, and once he has those kids happy and taken care of, he goes off to find Cass, helps Steph with her dad, and leaves a very pointed voice-mail for Talia.

Alfred thinks he's more mentally ill than usual for knowing exactly which orphans and as he pointedly reminds Bruce, "children whose parents are still very much alive" he's trying to steal and adopt.

Bruce heatedly replies that they're his kids and that he's going to do everything right this time, rendering Alfred absolutely speechless until Bruce asks if Alfred would be able to make dinner for his new brood of kids.

"Try and remember who you're speaking to Master Bruce, I've thrown dinner parties with less notice"

"Great because I have a list of allergies and some notes on favourite foods."
