Rewatching Dawson's Creek after all these years and I can't remember where I stopped watching but I think it's in the vicinity of Season 2.

Man.... This show is crack, whack and everything in between. I have so many thoughts and most of them are super retrospective millennial thoughts ending with wtf lol.

I'm hanging around to find out how the infamous ship of Joey and Pacey comes about.

Was at the end of Fish-Man Island arc when I realised Nami was the only one who was actually worried about Luffy.

Bless her heart ❤️ look at that concerned look

A fitting 25-year anniversary performance ❤️ The Man. The Legend. Hiroshi Kitadani ❤️

I had goosebumps watching this. What an incredible live version

Happy New Year!

So... I've been taking notes of my favourite LuNa moments (and my over-analysing of them in the show) as we're doing the re-watch of the anime and y'all need to indulge me. It's the shame spiral in full force.

I only really started taking notes from the end of Little Garden arc. I think I'll do them by arc. So, here goes nothing..

Little Garden Arc

Episode 77: Nami worries they won't make it out of the giant goldfish and tells Luffy this isn't like what happened with Laboon. Luffy tells her, "I know. Calm down. Here, I'll let you have the last rice cracker." :)

Like Lord, bless him. It's like he doesn't know how to calm anybody down except to give them food. BUT the thing is... SHE EATS THE RICE CRACKER while fearing for their lives lol

I can't...

Look at my favourite trio gracing the cover of the latest Weekly Shonen Jump magazine! ❤️🧡🩷

I thought about this before... And with the heartbreaking news that there won't be a Shadow and Bone Season 3 just made this thought resurface for me again...

If Six of Crows was the first cab off the rank to introduce the Grishaverse to the non-reading world... would we be where we are now (i.e. cancelled, fans mourning, wolves howling)?

I don't know... For me, I have always felt that while S&B provides the context and the introduction to the Grishaverse, Six of Crows (and Crooked Kingdom) have always been the stronger texts. Just sayin'...

That audiobook... I'm going to sell my soul for it. Please do it. 🙏

Shadow and Bone (more specifically the Crows) cancelation reactions

I started watching the "Episode of Chopper: Bloom in the Winter, Miracle Sakura" last night and I pointed out to my husband while he walked past the living room that:

1. Vivi wasn't in this one and that it's the full crew (minus Brook) and that they had the Thousand Sunny instead of Going Merry.

2. Luffy pleaded to the people of Drum Island on his own after being fired at. (Hubby said "this shows growth on Luffy's part, no?" To which I said, "okay")

3. Luffy slap!wakes Nami up a lot gentler in this than the anime and I thought it was hella cute that they changed that bit. (Hubby lol'ed)

And then he tells me that if/when we ever watch Red, that I should give Uta/Luffy a chance - that I might really like them together.

I love my husband and I feel blessed that I have him in my life but I pointed out to him that that's not how shipping ships work.

Major disclaimer that I don't have anything against other people shipping Uta/Luffy. To each their own.

YASSSSS! Talk about canon - we get this across the manga, anime AND the live action ❤️🧡

Honestly, I love how, in LuNa fanarts, the artists seem to always remember Buggy's three cuts on the hat, that were fixed by Nami.

It's a detail I don't see being brought up much, even by the shippers. The fact that one day within meeting her, Luffy already allowed her to hold and fix his hat; and the fact Nami had offered to do this nice thing for a pirate in the first place.

It's not a detail that is mentioned or revisited again and again, but it is a detail that the shippers (or simply fans of both characters, really) appreciate and hold dear in this subtle way: by silently depicting it in fanarts ❤️🧡

WARNING: Contains One Piece spoilers (or not, if you're up to date).

First time talking about One Piece on Tumblr. Second time re-watching. The first time I watched OP was from the persuasions of my then boyfriend (now husband). I absolutely fell in love with it on the get go but I stopped watching just after the Summit War Saga because like Luffy, I couldn't deal with Ace's death. So I took a long hiatus.

Many years later, it took some push and convincing to watch the Live Action on Netflix but eventually we both gave in. And the LA re-kindled the fire I didn't ever think I'd want re-lit.

So we have decided to do a full re-watch and now I am obsessed. We're currently re-watching Episode 282 (Enies Lobby arc) (and probably a few more episodes by the time I finish typing all of this), I purchased the first box set of the manga and am currently on Volume 6, and because I spiral, here I am, to my one source of endless ship material, Tumblr.

I didn't ship any couples the first time I watched OP but now I am obsessed with Luffy and Nami becoming OTP. My husband says I am over-analysing everything and that I should stop. To which I say, I can't! LOL

And I love the bromance between Zoro and Chopper haha - it's so kawaii!

Since I need an outlet to channel my thoughts and crazy theories and/or observations as I go through the anime AND the manga, I'll be here scribbling away.

📚📚📚 #CurrentRead by #jazzmansbookism - #CrookedKingdom by @lbardugo ❤❤❤ right now my blood is still sizzling. I have waited for this sequel for an entire year and I think no matter how this ends, this will still remain as one of the best series I have ever read. 🔥🔥🔥 Leigh, you can really write! #love #bibliophile #booknerd #bookworminess #booklove #bookgasm #YALit #sixofcrows #duology #booksofinstagram #leighbardugo #kazbrekker #inej #nina #matthias #jesper #wylan #OTPs #literature #novel #youngadult #YAFiction #fiction

📚📚📚 #JustFinishedReads by #jazzmansbookism - THIS WAS THE END?!?! @reneeahdieh SAY WHAT? I wanted more Khalid and Shazi! 😍😔 The Rose and the Dagger - Khalid and Sharhzad's love story is very poetic and their romance is that of one where you don't get enough scenes of them actually being together but their love still rings through. Khalid is one badass king and husband. I totally dig him.

📚📚📚 #JustFinishedReads by #jazzmansbookism - THIS. BOOK. 😍🤗😂❤ I haven't been able to read many romcom novels this year so The Hating Game was an absolute thrill. Not only did I get a little bit of a break from the more serious reads, I absolutely loved Lucy and Josh's whole journey. I was able to relate on a personal level (my love for @vicuman isn't all LOVE, you know! LOL) and author Sally Thorne is AUSTRALIAN! So proud and so happy! 😍👫💑💏👏

📚📚📚 Thank goodness I got through this hurdle. #jazzmansbookism struggled so much to finish reading this book. It was too graphic and not sure if I did the right thing by buying it 10 years ago and only reading it now. *SHUDDERS* #americanpsycho #breteastonellis #wtfdidijustread #literature #graphicreads #JustFinishedReads #novel #novels #classicbooks #scarred #traumatised #goodreads #booknerd #bookworminess #bibliophile #booklove #books #bookgloriousbook #bookgasm #somanyemoreferences #lol #sadandscared

📚📚📚 #jazzmansbookism - Atonement ❤❤❤ one of my all time favourite movies, now also an all time favourite novel. Featured in this photo is one of my favourite quotes from the book. #thefeels #thestrugglewasreal #atonement #ianmcewan #love #twentyonesix #bibliophile #booknerd #bookworminess #booklove #bookgasm #heavyreads

📚📚📚 As my final read for 2015, #Landline by #RainbowRowell took me on a journey that I will take with me throughout adulthood and future parenthood. It was a coincidence that the book was set around this time of the year and it made me contemplate on life and love and how we (should) value both. "From this moment onward..." I stayed up until 4.30am today finishing this and when I put it down, I happily sighed and whispered a "thank you." #bookworminess #booklove #booknerd #jazzmansbookism #love #twentyonefive #NealandGeorgieOTP It has been a wonderful year of books. I cannot wait to see what 2016 has installed for me. ❤❤❤
