Wara ningyô (straw doll) kept at Tono Museum.
Those effigies were once hung on ropes (michikiri) by roadsides and village entrances to ward off evil spirits bringing pestilence (疫病神 yakubyôgami). They were sometimes accessorized, like this one bearing a daishô (katana set) and a fearsome (oni?) face mask.
Waraningyô are also a staple of folk magic alike voodoo dolls, especially those related to eerie uchi no toki mairi ("Ox-hour shrine visits", ie witching hour).

"'Tis but a thing of straw' They say,
Yet even straw can sturdy be
Plaited into doll like me.
And in the days of long ago
To help the seeds once more grow
I was an offering to the gods.
A very simple way indeed
Of asking them to intercede
That barn and granary o'erflow
At harvest time, with fruit and corn
To fill again Amalthea's horn."
— Minnie Lambeth (1957)
  
A little corn dolly for "farm" :3 I remember making these as a kid! But that's lemongrass from my garden as a prop, because I hella failed at growing corn, lol. I wanna git gud, though, because I would love to make my own homegrown dollies! I might just try to fashion my lemongrass into one~

Something that's really irritating me about the Off-White doll is that when you look at the concept art, she has 0 monster features aside from her green skin. Her monster type was such an after thought, and that's why its so poorly reflected in her design. Like she's supposed to be a fish (I think) where are her scales? Where are her fins? For such an expensive doll, I expected more than just a reused face mold, and a very easily recognizable one at that.
Her concept art really looks like a pale Casta Fierce. And honestly, I would probably like her more if that was the direction they took. Instead of being completely new, lazily designed characters, they could have done something like "Casta Fierce modelling for Off-Fright" or something, and added a witchy twist to the actual Off-White look. I mean, it would still be grossly overpriced, but I guarantee she'd sell better, especially considering Casta only ever got one doll. And it would've been SO PERFECT for an October Friday the 13th release.

It really does make perfect sense that the Wittebanes were orphans, and especially that they were always orphans for their entire time in Gravesfield.
Caleb was Philip's older brother; but also his only (best) friend, his sole conifdant, his caretaker, and because of the age gap as Caleb grew he became a father-like figure. The only close personal connection Philip ever had with anyone. A connection bordering on a romantic like intimacy, for Philip.
Caleb having any attachment to anyone else was a betrayal of each of these sacred bonds he saw between them. It was never about the witch stuff, though it made a fine icing on the fucked-up cake.
Masha is right on the dot when they say this:
Tumblr media
It's also incomprehensible to Philip a life without Caleb in it. Caleb is everything. He is in an incredibly deep state of denial over his death. And it doesn't even matter that the Grimwalkers constantly betray him - he can make a new one and deny it all over again. He's now used to his brother being his adversary. At least when someone is your adversary, thats means you still mean something to them. Philip wants to be loved by Caleb, but simply 'being thought of' by 'Caleb' is a close enough second as to not fracture him completely.

Agender Luffy being like a dress up doll for the strawhats
One day Nami was bored and she bribed luffy with meat to let her dress him up
She ended up putting him in a casual red sundress (I know nothing about dresses I hope Google hasn't wronged me with the dress type) and she had expected to need to bribe them more but to her surprise Luffy just put it on without complaint
The rest of the crew was definitely a bit surprised to see their captain running around in a dress but they quickly realized Nami was behind it and they mostly ignored it, some of them complemented his dress though
It's very important to me to point out that luffy definitely tried to use his dress as a parachute multiple times
Sanji also dresses Luffy up sometimes in suits and has tried and failed numerous times to teach him to tie a tie
Robin would also join in on this buying some more out there outfits that stand out a bit more and Luffy definitely enjoys her outfits cause he thinks they're weird and funny
I've been thinking of an idea for this with Franky for a while now, you know Scarlet overkill and her cool dresses? Franky would make Luffy something similar and make him a dress that could actually be used as a parachute chopper would want one too
I think chopper would see everyone else dressing Luffy up and he'd want to try so he often picks out outfits for them
Luffy really only complains when the clothes are uncomfortable and for the most part is willing to wear anything, sometimes he'll even ask to be dressed up no bribe needed

One Piece Chapter 1105 - Initial Thoughts
Tumblr media
So we are back again, after a big impactful chapter last week we're looking to reach full incident territory now
Buster Call No. 3 here we go...
Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release
Carrot cover page is welcome but also reminds me how I wish she was Nakama
With the buster call summoned everyone is fleeing the scene, most of whom unaware of the situation
Doll suggests that Saturn and Kizaru leave too, but Saturn states they're staying
It seems that Doll is unaware of the regen, but she doesn't question Kizaru's reaffirming to do as ordered
Vegapunk confronts Saturn again, imploring him to call off the Buster Call due to how it will hamper the world's technology by a century
Saturn notes though they don't need more advancement, and can't trust that Vegapunk's hiding something else...which he kinda is but still
Apparently a ship also left Egghead, guessing it was the former inhabitants during the Labophase Among Us situation we didn't see
But Saturn had it hunted down, on the threat that they may know something about the Void Century, Akainu tactics there
Vegapunk once more is appalled but Saturn rebukes that he dug their graves by seeking forbidden knowledge
Everyone's in movement though, except the Mark IIIs who are the perimeter for the island
Sanji directs Kuma, Bonney, Franky and Atlas to the vacuum rocket, assuring Bonney that Vegapunk will be safe
He also briefs Nami on what's going on above, surprising the group that there's yet ANOTHER buster call to go through
After several months we finally see Robin alive and well...mostly, she's on a hoverbed and in clear discomfort, probably from wounds and trauma
Jinbe has been sent to get Zoro so he doesn't get lost, but apparently he's still fighting Lucci
Lilith meanwhile didn't even make it to ground, she was still with the ship and got assistance from Brook
And he's found a clever way to get the ship to the rendez-vous, using his ice powers to freeze the clouds and skate on them
There is however the matter of braking, which Lilith quickly rescinded her praise for Brook after he had no ideas, plus the Vega Force 01 is still not an option for flying out
They make a point in saying that the Labostratum still has its barrier, meaning that the place will have some safety from bombardment, but the first barrage begins even with soldiers still evacuating
As Vegapunk laments the loss of another island, the Vacuum Rocket shoots off
But once again, Kizaru's here for the intercept
Sanji sees the intercept and goes to rescue Bonney, while Saturn orders the Pacifista to fire at Bonney and Kuma
Internally he sickly enjoys the irony that Kuma gave away his life to protect his daughter, only for his clones to be the cause of her death
Vegapunk meanwhile looks on in horror, remembering his worry that even though Bonney's Kuma's daughter, a pacifista won't hesitate to kill her if ordered
And Oda makes it clear there'll be no Luffy save, the navy have found him again stuffed and unable to move right now as he lays next to the vending machine thing we saw earlier in the arc
Aren't these soldiers supposed to be running from the Buster Call though?
HOWEVER, we also flash back to the alleged sunken ship Vegapunk sent out yesterday, except it's not!
The destroyed ship is in fact the warship Saturn sent, and they have no idea how they're gonna report their failure to Kizaru
But another player is about to enter the game, they are on their way to Egghead
Until the very end there it seemed like a simpler albeit dire chapter to follow the heights of the Kuma punch, the Buster Call is here and most of our heroes are tied up in some shape or form; Zoro is still uncharacteristically dealing with Lucci, Robin our queen who I'm glad to see alive but sad to see still hurt is forced to rest, Luffy overate and is once again surrounded by marines, Sanji is running towards the line of fire even though Kuma is literally shielding Bonney anyway, Vegapunk is alone to the mercy of Saturn, Franky's falling, Brook is skating the Sunny without a brake, Kizaru's still being a government cog, it's all meant to feel like it's gonna go wrong.
But there are still the outside factors to play; the giant mecha will still have to help in some way, and there is still the slight possibility that the Mark IIIs do in fact hold an echo of humanity that resided in Kuma - which'd call back to the weaponized sea beasts still having their animal instincts - to not fire at Bonney. And now we have this other player that's coming, unless it's the Blackbeard ship from before. I do wanna hope it's Smoker but chances are low on that, why would you want to contact an admiral directly about that? Another Yonko ship on the move or the Revolutionaries seems like the Fleet Admiral would be warned so I'm still wondering if it's someone else we've not seen much of; Law & Bepo or maybe Perona & Moria.
The goose is not cooked yet of course, but our Straw Hats could do with a bit of gritting their teeth and stepping up, escaping a buster call doesn't quite have the same impact it did in Enies Lobby, stopping a Buster Call is yonko-level.
