"This makes me think about the person who stole the Free Farm Stand. We had laughed it off as a mistake, of little consequence. But the mindset that claims permission to convert a free gift to private property, robbing the community for individual gain, is of the highest consequence. Our petty thief deserves a name, so let's call him Darren, after the CEO of ExxonMobil. We often lay the blame for the outcomes of cutthroat capitalism on the "System." There's merit in that, given the complex layered interactions, but no excuse. Let's remember that the "System" is led by individuals, by a relatively small number of people, who have names, with more money than God and certainly less compassion. They sit in boardrooms deciding to exploit fossil fuels for short-term gain while the world burns. They know the science, they know the consequences, but they proceed with ecocidal business as usual and do it anyway. Their behavior feels to me like the same kind of arrogant entitlement as Darren the Farm Stand thief or Darren the Planet Wrecker. They're all thieves, stealing our future, while we pass around the zucchini."

let it be known that i love prince inigo with my whole soul. however sometimes it is SO much fun to think about owain and his two most loyal-est knights you ever seen: worst guy in the world #1 and worst guy in the world #2. i love retainer inigo and severa so much. retainers who bully you and make fun of you and trash on you but they’d leave behind everyone and everything they ever knew to follow you and protect you in a whole new universe. they love you so much that they’d swear allegiance to total strangers but that loyalty pales in comparison to what they’d do for you. and they were all lovers!!!!!!!

So do you guys actually think that Jason's entire story, relationship to the others, and philosophy amounts to him being a rebellious teen who wants his dad's attention? Like are you 100% serious? I thought you were joking about that but too many of you are saying it with your whole chest.

And what the fuck is this "Bruce antagonizing Jason is fanon!" Shit I've been seeing? You guys are aware that a parent can love their kid and still be a shit parent right? I know you guys don't want to fathom the thought that maybe your blorbo might also occasionally have to face responsibility for consistently endangering children but let's not start being delusional now.

Bruce does love his kids, that doesn't mean that he hasn't hurt them. And I'd also argue that for the most part he feels in the right for it, and he's said multiple times that he believes it's for their own good, so you can't even argue that he's sorry about it. It's okay for you guys to admit that your PERSONAL INTERPRETATION of the character wouldn't do that but don't sit here and pretend that it's not a facet of the source.

nico robin and her smile

hiiii ok has anyone else ever thought about the person robin was before joining the straw hats? like who she was when she was at her worst? because i do. a lot. so go along with me here

from her introduction, robin has this very small smile that feels cunning and is seemingly meant to taunt luffy and co. it creates a sense that there's a canyon's depth of difference in power between her and the others.

robin's is a subtle character in her expressions compared to most other major characters in the series. and i think it fits her background of having to work in subterfuge. (???)

she maintains this expression throughout multiple scenes. the same shape of her smile that is so exact that it has to be with intention. this is the face of ms. all sunday. this is the person robin had to be in order to survive.

and yet each one still has it's differences and that's robin being not so perfect at hiding her true feelings (which btw i love that robin will always be exactly who she is). she's stressed or even strained at times. while also feeling perfectly at ease, but still performing a role.

i think for the most part. robin didn't mind what she had to do or who she had to be. because she's pragmatic, but she was definitely bothered by vivi and the strawhats. they're the ones who cause robin to show anything other than that static smile. notably when she is faced with vivi and luffy's determination.

and i've rambled about it once before robin is a kind woman at heart and who has a soft spot for the crew + vivi. their earnestness breaks through her own desire/need to not care for the effect her actions have on the lives of others.

notably the only times robin does seem to genuinely smile is in small sudden outbursts around luffy when something he does makes her laugh.

and throughout the rest of the alabasta arc. robin's clearly uncomfortable with facing the real destruction of alabasta at crocodile and her hands. later revealing that she never planned on helping him obtain the poseidon weapon. she never once smiles, instead dropping everything to focus on getting to the poneglyph.

after that though? she does her miss all sunday smile one last time when she asks luffy to join his crew. it's a famous panel, we all know it, we all love it.

the longer robin was with the straw hats. the more she began to genuinely smile. it's well established that being on the crew brought back joy and laughter into robin's life, that being with them gave her a reason to live again. but it was a slow start until we got to see this robin more often and more freely who is cheered by everyone's bright youth and excitement in being alive in a ways that she never had been allowed.

Gear 5 luffy's laugh is so contagious I just hear the drums and go insane how does this work. What did he do to me

I once said that I thought Steph would make a great Black Canary, and I still think that's one of the realest takes I've ever had.

Like, this moment seared itself into my head and never faded:

Man every time I see people imply or straight up say p3mc doesn't care about Kenji (and this extends to suemitsu as well) I get so

LIKE TFYM HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THEM THOSE ARE HIS SOCIAL LINKS?????? IF HE DIDN'T CARE WHY WOULD HE HAVE FORMED A LITTERAL BOND THAT STRENGTHENS HIS PERSONAS???? LIKE HUH????

Orpheus Telos exists because he cares about his friends. His actions at the end of the game happen for that exact reason.

He literally gains the power of the universe because cares about all. of. his. friends.

pspsps lemon man I drew the blorbos ever

I'm sure the colors for her shirt n stuff aren't what you imagined but I'm SORRY I WANTED TO COLOR HER AUGH <3

also. did Robin do any of the piercings herself? idk about you but I could definitely imagine her and mark fuckenn like doing a piercing in the school bathroom with an ice cube and a needle bc robin's parents wouldn't let her get it pierced or smth BUT THATS JUST ME

Screams cries throws up punches wall I love how you draw Robin so much she’s everything ever she’s so important to me and CUNT ERA IS INSANE. Bee looks like they just ate a stapler (affectionate)

dude everytime I see someone use the colors I use to draw them it’s like. Oh is that how they look do I make them that warm…

I feel like all of Robin’s piercings were done by her and Mark, they don’t have a lot of money and they are great at making stupid decisions, so consider most of their fashion choices homemade (looks at their poorly bleached/dyed/cut hair…)

and oh they DEFINITELY did a piercing in the school bathroom… it was one that could be easily hidden because it’d be BAD if her parents saw it but they felt so cool doing it

sigh they are so important to me

[lichtecht]

does anyone wanna be cute and send me art prompts….. oc related maybe… eventhough you don’t know them

[agonizedembrace]

۞

send me a "۞" and I'll introduce you to one of my other muses

"oh, who's this? another man-thing that mother left us to feast upon?" there's a curious glint to the blonde's gaze as she leans up close to gather a better look. though hooded, it is easy to see the missing fragment of blonde locks, messy attempts of covering it up alongside the noticeable scar that accompanies it. that, or the dried blood that's practically stained to her face. "how shall i present you? torn into little pieces, or left to bleed out slowly for my sisters to take a bite as well?"

[starlooove]

Funniest thing about whiny ass ooc whump isn’t even author double standards it’s like. Seeing it from the character perspectives. Tims feeling ignored and like nothing more than an employee but all he can say about Duke for 20 chapters is that he goes to school and watches shit happen. Like the call is coming from inside the house I fear.

[thecoolertails]

was looking for something unrelated to this but i thought this was so funny because they don't even try making a case for rigby like fine whatever he's gay who gives a shit
