I'll never get over the implications of zoro sacrificing himself for luffy and the full scope of that.

Like

It's WILD.

Cause Luffy -- he's unconscious. He doesn't even know Kuma was there. And we'd never met Kuma till he shows up after luffy has already stretched himself to his absolute limit and passed out to recover in the belief he and everyone was safe.

Then we have Zoro, who flat out told Luffy, if he gets in the way of his dreams, he'll force Luffy to commit hara kiri, which according to Google, is ritual suicide by disembowelment with a sword. It was formerly practiced in Japan by samurai as an honorable alternative to disgrace or execution. That's the stipulation he joins the crew with.

And like, yeah, after Mihawk slices him and tells him to live, to get stronger, so that one day Zoro may surpass him, Zoro doesny really acknowledged that. Instead, his only response is to pick up Wado Ichimonji, the sword of his long dead friend and of which he made his inital vow of becoming the world's greatest swordsman, to carry on kunia's dream in her honor, Zoro then proceeds to swear to never lose again because it's be embarrassing for Luffy as Pirate King.

And this whole scene is wild as well, because mans was basically on deaths door and all he could think about was how it'd disgrace luffy is he lost again. Like???

But this scene, it makes it apparent that Zoro's dream isn't just for himself and Kunia, it's shared by Luffy now as well.

Which, we know Luffy. Every crew members dream is a dream Luffy takes on as personally as his own. He shoulders those dreams and the weight of making them a reality as seriously as his own dream of becoming king of the pirates. Their dreams are Luffy's now too.

This is different than that tho. Because while the dream was shouldered by Luffy, it was still for Zoro's own like... fullflillment? Idk how to convey it. It was still wholy Zoro's, it belonged to Zoro. But by saying it'd be embarrassing for Luffy, or a disappointment, for Zoro to lose again before he becomes world's greatest swordsman-- it's now theirs in a way it wasn't. He's not JUST becoming the world's greatest swordsman, he's becoming the world's greatest swordsman because it's what Luffy deserves. He's becoming the world's greatest swordsman because Luffy's gonna be King of the Pirates and for Zoro to give him anything less than the world's greatest swordsman is a disappointment.

But that's still -- becoming the world's greatest swordsman is still his... the most important thing to him. He just has another reason besides Kunia and himself now. But you still don't get the sense that like... I dont think the zoro who loses to mihawk would be willing to sacrifice himself on the way zoro on thriller bark did.

Because while Zoro has never been afraid of dying, that was because he'd rather die trying to become the world's greatest swordsman then to not have tried at all. It's a mindset he shares with Luffy. This all or nothing mentality, right?

Neither of them have ever been afraid of dying as long as it's in pursuit of their dream.

But in Thriller Bark, he's not dying in pursuit of his dream. When he offers his head in exchange for Luffy's, he's effectively saying goodbye at ever achieving it, actually.

And he knows that, and you can see it jn the way he lays his swords down, because what use does he have for them if he's dead?

Kuma even says it here, "You have such an ambition, and yet you're saying that you're willing to take his man's place?"

He's not just offering his life in exchange for Luffy's, it's his dream he's exchanging too.

In doing this, it's made known that Luffy now holds more importance over Zoro's life, his swords, and his dreams.

Because this act, this sacrifice he makes, him dying in this way, isn't in service of dream and ambition, it's in service to his captain and king.

And idk how we're meant to be normal about this.

Weird talents Cross Guild have:

Buggy can tie a bow with his tongue. Not a simple knot, no. A perfect, pretty bow. It makes for a good party trick. (He refrains from reminding people that he can detach his tongue.)

Crocodile can read upside down and backwards, in normal speed, without trouble.

Mihawk can crochet. I know that's not a weird hobby but he can also kill someone with a crochet hook, which has to count for something.

#buggy's a man of many talents except most of them are pretty much useless #being able to use his tongue well has its advantages tho wink wink #yes mihawk has killed someone with a crochet hook before #for good reason #probably??? #crocodile is a businessman and a workaholic of course he can read documents under any condition #one piece #buggy the clown #cross guild #dracule mihawk #sir crocodile

if they wanted me to edit these research guides in a timely manner they should have written them better

#is there a way to ignore all the awkward phrasing and shit and just focus on content? #probably??? #but not if you’re me #not when content and writing become intertwined by the bad writing making the content more confusing #what are all these sentences doing in these paragraphs??? #that weird kind of vacuous where they exist solely to introduce the next sentence #except the next sentence isn’t related to the point of the paragraph! #so you’ve got [information] [wait what does this mean] [wait what does this have to do with anything??] #rinse repeat #god i just tried to emulate the writing and i just fucking can’t #this is why i never get any writing done #i can’t just string words together in an approximation of meaning and call it a day #like i’m sorry my brain sees ‘if you drink water you should also eat food. for the nourishment’ and goes #‘yeah sure i guess? what are we getting at here and can we just get at it directly?’ #it is actively more difficult to try and ignore that shit than have my editing brain on

Heya! I wanted to say that I like reading what you post on your blog. ^^ Keep up the good work, and may the Great Father of Understanding guide us.

(Saying this cause I felt it was feeling. I'm an Assassin through and through, though. Lmao)

Aaawww, thank you so much! This good work is only possible because of the wonderful asks I get (and how understanding you guys are at how slow I can be at answering TTATT)

May the Father of Understanding guide us!

#that one is usually just 'may the father of understanding guide us' #then the reply is 'may the father of understanding guide us' as well #according to charles lee's initiation #alternatively in ac1 'may the father of understanding guide you' #was used in a message instead of 'us' #is it the templar version of 'safety and peace' 'upon you as well'? #probably??? #but the 'may the father of understanding guide us/you' #had more staying power XD #i'm just rambling on the tag #sorry #ask and answer

I am very fond of using the Abbot's change shape ability liberally in campaigns, giving him both various human and animal forms. I am very interested in hearing about any times you or your dm used this in campaign. Please tell me all about it~

This is a reference to Vampire by Deco*27. I think the lyrics are pretty fitting. The dress is inspired by the ones i found on pinterest.

Idk why but your whole thing with Peale and grian fighting and someone being like “I wanna see who wins” just made me imagine pearl throwing the moon at grian

Yes Pearl would definitely toss a moon at Grian simply because she could, but also???
