God I could write a novel about how great of a character Zoro is... I'm rewatching and I'm at his fight with Mr.1, and just.... He has such an intricate monologue when he's fighting, and it gives so much insight to how his thoughts work, and shows how deeply analytical and self reflective he is.
He progresses intentionally, and logically. He thoroughly works out problems until he finds the solution, and he reflects on what he knows about mental fortitude and instinctual/spiritual connections. If Zoro does this to advance his physical abilities, then it's safe to say that he does this to solve his mental and emotional shortcomings as well.
There's a lot of Buddhism/Taoism influence in how Zoro processes his emotions and events that occur. It comes across as unemotional but I feel like oda puts so much effort into getting his intentions across.
Also he's not unemotional during his inner monologues. His inner thoughts are always very sentimental and a lot of his power is gained by embracing and trusting in his emotional bonds with people. Zoro allows himself to feel every emotion as it comes, but he embraces them all as something to benefit from. His emotions drive him forward. He creates these deep bonds, and is driven by heartfelt promises he's made to people very special to him. That is Zoro's motivation.
That's why during all of his big fights, when we get a look at his inner thoughts, I end up getting very emotional, because ZORO is emotional. Anyways ppl who say Zoro's emo,unemotional,&stupid are projecting.

You can love a character & still admit when they’re wrong. I love Akechi but can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) & can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he’s never done anything wrong in his life) & call him out for his actions (which are always correct)

Taking care of my aunts pets with @sophieorso
We’re looking after 3 cats (one needs to take laxatives every day and looks so grumpy I love him, one is extremely cuddly, and one is a bitch (I love all of them))
1 turtle (he just woke up from hibernation and is trying (and failing) to escape his enclosure)
And 1 snake that we can ignore since it only needs to be fed once a week and we’re not staying for a whole week.
Who would have thought that a fucking ROOMBA is harder to manage than the laxative cat.
The stupid thing cried for help THREE TIMES because it sucked up hair and apparently got them tangled in it’s brushes. Then it got stuck under the TV. And then it got stuck on top of fire wood.
We are trying.
