I loved the One Piece Live Action. So silly! So fun! So unabashedly camp! It made me fall in love with all its mains and kept what I like most about anime. Anime (and especially One Piece) tends to be character driven because the plots can have no limits at times (it needs to ground the story somewhere or it might float off). And, and, and I just love chaotic character driven ride or die group dynamics that have easy queer readings.

OPLA is the campest thing I've seen in a long while. I giggled when Mihawk appeared. The vibe! The outfit! Buggy, too, is so much of a hot mess that it's strangely alluring and I get why he's babygirl to every powerful seaman of the last generation.

I'm happy the show leaned in on all that op camp. I'm looking forward to next season where I might get more silly camp, more ride or die group dynamics, Ace (probably), and the development of Zoro's and Sanji's love/hate Benedick and Beatrice style bickering (hopefully with aggressive forehead touching).

#op #opla #one piece #one piece live action #roronoa zoro #monkey d. luffy #vinsmoke sanji #nami #usopp #dracule mihawk #buggy the clown #portgas d ace #buggy the failboy #my favourite moments: usopp's exaggerations; zoro in the mansion; sanji and zeff; nami finally asking for help and luffy giving her his hat #my favourite thing: luffy collecting complicated loners and it somehow working out. #luffy collection consisting of: an antisocial killer; independent thief; unrepentant liar; and temperamental mystery.

water 7 geopolitics.

water 7 is an independent citystate of the world government despite having a working contract with the world government they don't have to enforce their law because they're not under the world government

it's complicated, the laws are independent and the world government doesn't enforce their law 99% of the time because of the fact galley la could just stop making boats for them and that would be extremely bad

galley la is able to use the boat relationship as leverage politically to the detriment of the world government (this is why they got away with enies lobby no consequences style) as long as they keep making boats for them/in aid of the civil war on pirates.

water 7's political strategy protects their own independence while playing both sides in regards to the civil war on pirates, which you could argue is actively harming other nations independence of the world government (like wano)

#modposts #i LOVE the politics of water 7 #its so interesting because theyre the first independent nation we see #that actually welcomes pirates #and the fucking. the fact they make boats for the world government and they use that as political leverage to do basically anything they #want. is hilarious. #water 7 is my favourite setting in one piece because of its politics and political history #w7 is less special now that we've seen other independent nations #- a loser would say that they still have the best political worldbuilding in all of one piece #the themes of workers rights within the relationship between galley la and the world government... yeah... #i was having a discussion with my friend about one pieces political commentary and talking about how one pieces villains can often be #shallow political props like wapol and i made the argument that while i do think that that isnt the case sometimes #the thing that makes one piece amazing political commentary is the worldbuilding and stuff like the political history and reality of water #meta #i have to tag this now because i accidentally did commentary in the tags oops. #op #one piece

welcome to post about franchise noone knows about but the fucking.... trajectory of the mystery files games is truly insane to me and this trailer for the newest game that absolutely feels like a parody but is 100% real made me think about them again, like with the first 4 you have an extremely simple "look at an image find the items" click and point which is the entire appeal of the game and then they upgrade to walkable maps for SOME REASON which somehow make my laptop lag even now so i can't imagine what they did to stuff 15 years ago but anyway not only do they lose the entire format they also for some reason attempt to connect all the games and introduce the detective while trying to keep them universally relatable so now by game 57 you're a sometimes-man sometimes-woman who's forcibly gay married to the villain from the third game walking through random empty maps with a rare badly voice acted npc every now and then and you don't understand anything and your computer is about to burn down trying to play all the bouncy room transition animations at the same time and all you wanted was get a list of 10 items and stare at a screenshot until you find all of them

#like dgmw dire grove and return to ravenhearst are easy favourites coz the plot is fun there's #nothing inherently wrong with walkable maps but either keep the format or make a new series #what's the point of desperately holding onto this flimsy plot with an iron grip. just make independent games #and again the Entire Point of the first few games was look at screenshot find item. sometimes things that are more complex are worse #this is why i think madame fate is the best mcf game. has puzzles but mostly keeps the screenshot format 10/10 #n again I'm inherently biased coz i spent my entire childhood playing these but like😐 i haaate how #big the walkable map aspect is like . if i wanted that I'd play skyrim #and like genuinely just the sheer amount of games. like we're almost at 30 now iirc or something around that #30 games and only like 6 or 7 where it's mainly finding items? like the entire concept and point of the original games? yknow? #I've yet to try the newer one that uses the original format i just have thoughts. anyway #mystery case files #mcf

guess who just finished three hopes lol

#okay lol rambles in the tags↓ #i am incredibly biased bc the beagles are my absolute favs in 3h but crimson whatever was definitely my favourite #in azure gleam i really liked felix's character arc (HIS AND DIMITRIS A SUPPORT IS EVERYTHING) #and i like rodrigue being playable that was fun #but like. man what happens to edelgard in that route just makes me so fucking sad #esp at the end where she has to watch the only person left that she 'trusts' die and becomes so mindbroken she age regresses basically #aND DIMITRI JUST CANT KILL HER BC SHE USES HIS NICKNAME AND 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #what the fuck. never found out what happened to ferdinand and hubert also #all the endings feel half finished tbh :/ i see why people are mad theres no dlc for this game #golden wildfire was probably my leasr fav but im not the biggest deers fan so that make sense ig #i was just expecting there to be more of almyra but shahid shows up twice and dies and then the plot just ends its lame #the cutscene with claude hilda and lorenz was sick thooooo #i was giggling its so :) #also interesting ig that the lords advisors all got a duo scene but edelgard didnt appear in hubert and ferdinands #ig it moreso shows their relationships. hubert and ferdinand act independently to support edelgard #felix and dedue are dimitris closest supports who ensure he stays on the right path #and hilda and lorenz always back up claude in his schemes and whatnot #idk just thinking 🤔 #anyway the plot of this game is pretty good👍not the biggest fan of the gameplay tho #thankfully on ng+ u dont really have to do any nonstory maps which speeds things up a bit #im glad i actually got around to playing tho even if it tookover half a year lol

First DG makes me watch a Babyface MJF match, now he's gonna make me have to watch a Miro match?? 😩

#Miro is one of those wrestlers I simply Do Not Get #Every time I try to watch his matches I am bored to tears #But...if anyone can make it somewhat entertaining for me it's DG #And I lowkey hate this storyline with CJ #Where the whole thing is ''GRRRR Why isn't my sex object wife doing what I - her husband - want? This is ridiculous! #How dare she make her own decisions and do something independently of her man? That's now what women are supposed to do! GRRRRRRR!!'' #But I swear to god if this somehow results in CJ telling her caveman husband to fuck off so she can go be Daniel's sugar mama #I will LAUGH hysterically and this will become my favourite storyline ever #Like obviously that ain't gonna happen but it's funny in my head so #DG to Miro: ''So since I call your wife 'mommy' does that make you my da -'' #Miro: *seethes in cuckold-driven rage* *strangles Daniel* #CJ: ''Yeah that's not gonna work - he's into that.''

Being an independent journalist in this sport wasn’t easy at all but only within the parameters of any paddock around the world as most journalists rarely agreed with you, being neutral about anything in f1 wasn’t your thing.

Speaking your mind as the race went on was what set you apart from the rest, along with your humour and your honesty towards drivers and team principals. Not to mention you were extremely biased, keeping your liking to three to five drivers but only one occupied your mind every time you think about him.

I think you know who I’m talking about.

Your support for Lewis goes back to 2015, discovering the sport and immediately wanting to put your journalism skills to the test, aiming for the f1 paddock to at least catch a glimpse of the most talked about driver. Quickly building up a blog and several other social media accounts, you got to telling the world your thoughts and feelings for every race and your supporters rooted for you to achieve your goal.

Having the opportunity to attend thee race in 2020 as a guest of F1, you arrived at the Turkish Grand Prix with your head held high and a dress so gorgeous that it sparked rumours between you and the driver you were writing about. Not to mention the hug he gave you when you first met in the Mercedes garage, praising and thanking you for the support over the years. He’s been watching you and your work. That made your heart so warm.

Then he won his 7th world championship, breaking all records and that day, he deemed you his lucky charm.

And since then, it’s been a work wife-work husband friendship between you two. Fans constantly shipping you too, the clips of your shared interviews at the media pen of the intense eye contact and even off-track sightings once in a while such as a quick lunch.

yourusername • 13 mins ago

The atmosphere in Australia was unlike anything you’ve ever seen in your career, the paddock was practically painted red, Ferrari red to be specific. Everyone eager for Lewis to arrive as his first season as a driver for the legendary team.

Deciding to subtly support him and his new team, you rocked maroon everything, not yet ready to fully embrace the extreme bright red. It just might be your new favourite colour, from your hair right down to the tips of your high heeled boots.

Whilst setting your camera equipment up (gracefully given to you by Ferrari themselves), you couldn’t help but reminisce back to the year before of when he told you he was leaving Mercedes, a single facetime call in the nighttime.

“You made me pause the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, this better be good.” You said, placing the popcorn bowl down on your coffee table. Giving him squinted eyes, he just smiled at you.

“Are you alone right now?” He asked and that set aback for a bit. “You tryna do something funny, Lewis? Because you’re in Monaco right now and I’m at my house.” You raised your eyebrow at him, hiding how nervous you were to even suggest that to him but thankfully, he took it as a joke.

“No no, I’ve got some big news and I wanted to tell you before it gets out.” He replied, seeing how you stood up and placed your phone on your kitchen counter to prepare for this. “Okay, I’m ready. What’s up?” You clasped your hands together, not prepared to hear what came out of his mouth next.

“I’m moving to Ferrari next year.”

“You’re lying.” And all he did was smile as he saw your face drop at this news. He shook his head and that woke you to run around your apartment screaming. Running back to your phone, he was still there but just laughing his lungs out.

“Give me the details right now or else I’ll fly there. I’m not playing, Lew.”

A small smile was plastered on your face as you racked through the memories of that night and till that day, you still couldn’t believe it even though it was right in front of you. The media pen became louder and louder as you continued to mic yourself up along with connecting the mic to the camera and you immediately knew who caused the stir.

He already had such an aura surrounding him so much so that you could feel him whenever he entered the room. You were aware he arrived earlier and most likely changed but seeing the official team shirt on him was odd but fitting.

Lewis had a simple routine whenever he got to the media pen: everyone else then you because his time with you could be lengthened and he was so damn grateful that it was a Thursday because it meant even more time just walking around the paddock pretending it’s an interview when really, you guys were just spending time together.

After all the drivers had their interviews with you, laughing as they walked away because of some joke you told or happy that you asked different questions than everyone else. The man of the hour strolled over to your section with a look in his eye that gave you a shiver down your spine.

“Do not give me that look, Lewis. It’s weird seeing you in that shirt.” You said as he leaned against the barricade, maintaining eye contact with you. “I’m just taking in the red on you, it’s your colour.” He smirked at the reaction from you, the slight shock from the tone of his voice.

There was always a tad bit of tension between the two of you, feeling that twinge of a spark whenever he merely touched you. As you worked with over the years, you wanted your crush on him to diminish because that would just be unprofessional but he did not seem to care. At all. Often being spotted at various places together that he claimed were just two friends hanging out but just one look from him could have you in the clouds of days.

“Uh..huh. Wanna get these questions done or you wanna keep staring?” You asked with sass, watching him tilt his head a little and maintaining eye contact. “We can go right ahead, Y/n.” Lewis replied and you knew this was going to be a long interview.

Several questions later with a bunch of tension that you were sure the viewers would catch, you discreetly turned the camera to ask one of your infamous unserious questions that you did with every driver and you were sure this one were to get a laugh out of Lewis.

Holding the little card in front of you, you grinned with your left eye closing slightly more than the other. “It’s one of my favourite parts of any interview, unserious question time.” You said. “How unserious are we speaking here?” He asked with the slightest grin on his face just admiring you do your job.

“Only if you promise to answer it.” You said, holding out your manicured pinkie finger and Lewis hooked his with yours, solidifying the promise. “Okay okay, the whole world was shocked on how much Ferrari wanted you so much so that they literally doubled your salary.” You started.

“It’s now sitting at a hundred million a year. My question to you is who you gonna share it with and will it be me?”

“If you’re being serious, then it can be you.” He smiled and in that moment, your stomach dropped.

“Carl Davidson, I’m not playing around. Are you being for real?” You asked, lowering your voice so that no one could hear a thing.

He leaned in a bit more to whisper his next answer. “As real as you meeting me later on for dinner.” Lewis faced you then winked, walking away with your face still in shock. After standing there for what felt like forever, you felt your phone vibrate with a text from the man himself.

Punctuation Rules

Punctuation is like the very last thing I actively think about when writing something (what's the point of fixing the punctuation of a sentence you'll end up taking out or editing anyway?) but it is still an important step!

Having proper punctuation increases your credibility and the overall quality of your work. Also, it’s doubly important in professional work, emails, and resumes. With that, let’s get into it!

Commas

We use them all the time. We get them wrong all the time. There are six rules for where you can use commas:

Use to separate items in a list or series:

The book was long, tedious, and painful.

The comma after tedious is called the Oxford’s comma. Feel free to debate if you need it in the reblogs, but you won’t get in trouble professionally if you use it or leave it out (in most cases.) It always comes before ‘and’ in a list to prevent confusion of the items:

I ran into my mother, my best friend and a scientist. (1 person?)

Is very different from

I ran into my mother, my best friend, and a scientist. (3 people)

2. Use to separate independent clauses, with a coordinating conjunction.

An independent clause is just a sentence that makes sense on its own.

A coordinating conjunction is: and, but, or so.

Miley had a ton of work to do, so she set her alarm early.

3. Use after an introductory statement.

Introductory statements begin with many different words, but typically: Before, after, when, while, as soon as, etc.

Before her first class, Stacy looked up her prof on Rate Your Teacher.

Main point about this, “Before her first class” is not an independent clause, it needs a second part.

4. Use to surround info in a sentence

This info is not essential to the sense-making of the sentence, but it should be relevant.

Parents, no matter how skilled, cannot function at 100% all the time.

5. Addresses and Dates

6. And with direct quotes

Important for essay writing.

Casey said, “I hate this house!”

Colons:

Introduce a list after a complete sentence:

I have three favourite foods: spaghetti, chowder, and garlic bread.

2. Use after ‘the following’ or ‘as follows’

Please provide the following information: your date of birth, full name, and address.

3. Don't use with sentence fragments

A sentence fragment is an unfinished sentence (that doesn’t make sense on its own).

My favourite foods are: spaghetti, chowder, and garlic bread.

This is wrong because, “My favourite foods are.” Isn’t an independent clause.

4. Introduce an explanation

My parents ask one thing of me: that I try my hardest.

5. Introduce a quotation

Mom always quoted the bible: “The truth will set you free.”

6. And times (12:00)

Semi-Colon:

Not super common, but makes you look good if you can use it properly.

Separate two related independent clauses

I never drink Starbucks; it tastes burnt.

2. Similar, but with conjunctions: however, moreover, therefore, nevertheless, etc.

I don’t like Starbucks; however, it does the job.

Agatha didn’t witness anything; nevertheless, she was called in to court.

3. Use to avoid misreading in a series

The invited guests are the club leader; the treasurer; the new member, Jason Tanner; and Wanda Johnson, the investor.

Semicolons clarify the separation between the four people. Had it been, “The club leader, the treasurer, The new member, Jason Tanner…” it would seem that the new member and Jason Tanner are two different people.

Apostrophes – Possessive

‘s shows possession of a singular noun

The girl’s parents were quite rich.

2. S’ shows possession of a plural noun

The students’ books were all over the place. (there are multiple students who have books)

3. ‘s to singular words ending in s, and nouns that are plural

My boss’s office My children’s toys

Apostrophes – Contractions

Use to combine two words (they are, he is, there is, etc.)

It is -> It’s a beautiful park They are -> They’re really good friends You are -> you’re good at this and so on.

Can you do reader is Lando’s little sister and favourite but they barely see each other cause reader is at boarding school and she surprises him at the race. Also cameo of some other drivers too please.

Lando Norris x sister!reader

Summary - Request above xo

Warning - Like one swear one

-

During her last year of primary education, Cisca and Adam both sat their youngest child down and discussed the possibility of boarding school. 

Both knew it would be hard for the whole family to separate. Yet they both also knew that it would make their lives a lot easier. 

With Landos up and coming career in motorsport racing and the rest of their children's careers also slowly building up, neither parent wanted to deprive or abandon Y/n. So with her agreement, they enrolled her into a well reviewed and well known boarding school a few miles out of Bristol. 

Laurence Crawford Boarding.

The first few days, of course she was homesick. Missing Lando more than anyone else in the family. Of course. But eventually Y/n made friends and was becoming more and more independent by the day.

-

“Hey Mum!” The young girl giggled down the phone. She was in her shared dorm with a few friends when Cisca called. “Annie! No stop! Ew!” 

Cisca took note of her daughter's divided attention, taking an easy guess that she was hanging out with a few friends. “Hi sweetheart, am I calling at a bad time?” Even though neither could see each other, she had a warm and proud smile on her face just thinking about how far Y/n has come.

The innocent giggle down the phone grew quieter and quieter. Y/n was walking away from her friends. “Sorry mum, yeah I can talk. We were just having a games night in my dorm…” Ciscas heart just warmed, happy that her youngest child was growing up and maturing.

“Oh no worries, go and hang out with your friends! Have fun!” And with a couple goodbyes and a ‘I love you’ between the two, Y/n was back hanging out with her friends. 

-

Unlike her younger years of boarding, Y/n hadn’t been home from school on the weekend in a long while. She couldn’t; especially with her exams quickly approaching, she was in her dorm studying and revising most  weekends.

This meant the youngest Norris hadn’t seen her family in a few weeks. Of course she had spoken to them but hadn’t been home since the end of January, and they all understood why. It was harder for some to swallow that pill - well harder for one person particularly e.g Lando.

The Silverstone grand-prix was just around the corner and all he wanted was for his youngest sister to be there. Yeah it was selfish but he missed her, to be far the last time the two saw each other was early January. He missed her so much.

“Are you sure you can’t just take the exam early and then come and support me?” His rough voice rang through Y/n's phone whilst she was highlighting her revision. Lando wasn’t even trying to hide his annoyance.

A gentle laugh followed by a sigh was heard from Y/ns side of the call. “I’m sorry Lan…I can’t ask them to move the exam, it’s against the rules of the exam board…”

She didn’t have an exam that week actually, she was lying. Y/n was going to be in Silverstone that sunday. It’s just that Lando didn’t know, oh no it was a surprise.

What he thought was happening was that everyone else from his immediate family would be there, except Y/n. 

Everyone was in on the surprise. All excited to see the pair reunited. Surprises were always one of the things the Norris family loved to do.

-

Y/n - Good luck today! I’ll be juggling revision and watching the race, I hope to hear our national anthem pleaseee  Lando - Thank you angel, don’t wear yourself out Y/n - I should tell you the same thing

Lando thought she’d be tucked away in her dorm room whilst they were texting back and forth. A vast contrast to her current location; in the passenger seat of Oliver's car. The sun was shining through the windshield and down over her bare knees.

Y/n was wearing a white summer dress, some comfortable trainers and her signed mclaren 4 cap. Looking ready to spend the day in the British summer sun supporting one of her older brothers. 

She was smirking. He really had no clue about this. “Okay so he thinks I’m still at school, oh my god I can’t wait!” 

With her gcses, Y/n hadn’t been to a race in a long time and she missed it; watching from her dorm was not the same. In her dorm, she didn’t get that real excitement that would course through her like it would in the McLaren garage.

Looking over to Oliver, he was also smirking. Just remembering how he had to deal with Landos sulking and the clear signs that Y/n was by far his favorite. “Yeah he’s gonna be so happy when he sees you!”

-

Once they arrived, Y/n was quietly escorted through the back way to the McLaren garage. They couldn’t have the press ruining the surprise. Luckily for Y/n, her spot in the garage couldn’t be seen from anywhere Lando would be.

She stood between her parents whilst her other three siblings stood on either side Cisca and Adam. “I’m so excited!” When she was handed her headset, the girl got even more excited because she could hear her brother's voice through the radio. 

He had yet to win his first grand prix and she hoped he would get to that top step of the podium, especially at his home race. And hopefully without him knowing she is here, he will focus on that exact outcome. 

-

It was a hard race, lots of action and stress. Something Y/n liked, she hated a boring race - this sport was about racing, not riding cars in the same positions in several circles. But the most important thing to note from this race was the number four McLaren parked in front of the number one place in Parc Ferme.

The papaya garage was very much in celebrations, including the Norris family. Turning to face her mother with tears in her eyes, she noticed how Cisca also had tears in her eyes. “He did! He did!”

Adam, who is also over the moon with the win, takes her hand and starts to lead her over to the Parc Ferme to surprise the driver. Reaching the Parc Ferme they stand waiting amongst the McLaren staff and up against the barriers.

Lando pulls himself out of the car and makes his way to celebrate with his team. It’s only when he moves to give Adam a hug that he notices his little sister and he gasps. 

“Y/n?” He can’t believe his eyes, he thought she was back in her boarding school revising. 

Immediately the driver breaks from his father's embrace and races to collect Y/n in his arms. The two siblings were laughing and crying together. Finally reunited after a long time, in their opinions. 

After a few seconds, Lando moves to collect her face in his hand gently - trying to see if his eyes are deceiving him, they weren’t. “I thought you had an exam!” He shouts over the cheers around the two of them. 

Y/n just smirks cheekily and shakes her head. “Nope! Surprise!” Soon her smirk turns into a groan when Landos hand moves to mess up her hair, laughing breaking out between them once again. 

Everyone saw. The cameras around Parc Ferme all broadcasting the reuniting of two siblings who just missed each other. “You’re such a little shit!”

Shrugging her shoulders, Y/n smiled. “Everyone was in on it! Our family loves a surprise!” So when Lando turned to look at his father, Adam just nodded - Happy to reunite two of his children.

Additionally, highly recommend switching to Mozilla Firefox and trying the "Pocket" feature on their homepage: it collects links to articles across the web on topics that are either trending or based on the Pocket suggestions you usually click on. I'm on private browser 99% of the time but there's still 2 or 3 articles at least that I'm always interested in and I love it!

Some other places I read things: Poets&Writers, Atlas Obscura, The Guardian, The Independent, New Scientist, Al Jazeera, The Atlantic, BBC, National Geographic, Wired, NY Times, GQ, NPR, The Irish Times / Independent, etc., I don't have favourite news sources as a rule since I usually read 2 or 3 articles on the same topic from different places depending on what it is (I don't like relying on single sources). But on the whole this covers most of what cross my orbit unless I'm looking for something specifically 💗

I know in my heart that kiryu used to steal nishikis clothes back when they were housemates (orphanage mates , and before he outgrew him) because he is a freeloader

#Yakuza loveblog #and hes only like that with nishiki because he loves him so much and takes all his things #kiryu is independent (hellp im trapped inside the necklace im independent) until he sees nishiki and then he makes him pay for everything #and choose where to go and what to eat while he trots behind him and deviates only to beat people up #i do think kiryu is curt and snappish and unruly and unreceptive but hes not like that with his besties hes pretty eager to please .... #and he can justify literally anything if hes in the right mood for it #shut up im not letting you tout your overpriced rags at this bar. and then he bests up the towel guy #like that was a pretty bizarre thing to say but i guess he might have had a similar experience in the past and it hit a nerve #like kiryu is still rude to his friends but hes so pliant when hes with his besties of all time and he wants to do what they want to do ... #my favourite kiryu fact is that he was about to skip yumis birthday party because he forgot to buy her a gift and nishiki was like HAH i #preordered this six months in advance and pulls out a beautiful diamond necklace. like kiryu is so lucky yhe universe is alwaysaligned tohim #hes not big on embarrassing himself like majima is but he still manages to do it every single day
