As someone who has been a distant spectator and recently somehow procured a skirt. Everything said here is true.

This is proof the girl agenda works, folks.

Now that the chance of the “Shanks’ evil twin” theory being proven true is even higher because of the newest chapter, I can’t help but wonder: is Shanks even the original Shanks?

Because in the special promotion material for One Piece: Film Red, it shows Roger and his crew finding Shanks in a treasure chest after God Valley. And thanks to Kuma’s backstory, we know that Figarland Garling was on God Valley as a participant for the hunting game and was well loved by the Celestial Dragons

If Shanks is related to Figarland, why was he in a treasure chest, like some sort of prize?

What if one of the prizes for winning the game was a son (or, knowing the Celestial Dragons, a slave) that’s just as strong as Figarland Garling?

And with Lilith talking about cloning earlier in the chapter, I wonder: is there even an “original” Shanks?

Maybe Shanks and the evil twin are both clones of young Figarland

i dont do a lot of book recs on here (i think ive done one before?) but the Henry Rios books by Michael Nava are so criminally underrated!

They're these mystery novels from the 1980s-1990s about a gay, Latino lawyer (Henry Rios, our protagonist/narrator) solving mysteries--usually while trying to prove his client's innocence. He's a long-suffering idealist written as this kind of hard-boiled detective.

This is actually something the whole series tackles, subverts, and deconstructs in a really interesting way! Instead of being this stoic detective, the archetype gets broken down in a lot of really fascinating and human ways earnestly discussing love, grief, intergenerational trauma, racism, homophobia, illness/disability, toxic masculinity, and substance abuse.

What I love is that these books realize that the hard-boiled detective is stuck in a point of hurt and trauma, and so the Henry Rios series makes a big deal out of fighting tooth and nail to GET BETTER--whatever it takes to improve yourself and your surroundings. While the books maintain a lot of the dark and morose vibe of the original genre (especially given the looming, perpetual grief of AIDS-era queer lit), they always come back to a death match against apathy. It's really moving stuff, especially as the books take this approach to Henry's recovery from alcoholism.

if you're interested in queer history, the books are in touch with queer legal/political history during the HIV/AIDS crisis. The first few books have been rewritten/published as well since Michael Nava's retirement, so I think a comparative reading could be really interesting. For the record, Nava was a civil rights lawyer, so this is all done REALLY well (not to mention the legal drama is engaging, theatrical, petty, gutting, and sometimes hilarious).

if you're interested in detective fiction, they're brilliant deconstructions of the genre. instead of taking the depressed alcoholic white guy with repressed desire for male companionship at face value, the series considers a gay Latino man struggling with machismo, racism and homophobia, intersectional identity, and processing/recovering from grief, childhood trauma, alcoholism, and Catholicism.

Stylistically, the books are smart, poetic, introspective, dark, and witty. There's a lot of suffering, but there are also a lot of intense moments of joy and catharsis that feel really earned.

Also, if you read the rewrites. uh. there's a lot of smut! Happy retirement, Mr. Nava!

the reactions to the blake lively/justin baldoni controversy back in august are such an interesting case study for how internet backlash spreads. it was fairly obvious that justin wasn’t a great person, since everyone who worked on set distanced themselves from him. his decision to hire a lawyer who’s notorious for her ability to orchestrate public takedowns supported that belief, but I saw soooo many people just. piling on blake. and many of them weren’t defending justin, per se, but they just didn’t care about what he might have done. they saw a catty interview from 2016 and ran with it. a lot of those people weren’t ‘male rights activists’ or thirsting over justin or whatever. it’s just a lesson in how we can allll be vulnerable to targeted content and how masterfully a takedown can be executed with the right amount of money and resources.

And anyone else who follows me. Or sees this. A lot of the hermitcraft fandom are minors or just people trying to enjoy their lives.
