This post sponsored by the youtube vid title I saw referring to Aqua as "mom" my teeth are set on edge and I'm eying it suspiciously because I DON'T trust it. I've seen that "oh, she's the mom-friend and the only one with her life together, just going around picking up the boys' messes" opinion too many times, I am hissing warily.

That's way too simplified, stop reducing her depth, she's much more complicated and also even inside the mom-energy she admittedly has, it's like. Hm.

She does have some mom-energy (affectionate) but I think she also has mom-energy (derogatory). Y'know?

I resisted. Because I knew the wisdom of the great laws. Because I knew pain and anxiety would be her only birth right.

luck of the bud

would like to point out number one thing any successful buckaroo has going for them is (drumroll) LUCK. including chuck. distance between you and your heroes is not far and it is usually not talent or drive separating you it is circumstance. many amateurs are just as good

Batman: The Knight is good but in my heart I know that Bruce Wayne was all of about 14 years old when he went off on his world training adventure.

Because if Bruce was running around chasing dangerous and morally dubious people before his voice even dropped, begging them to teach him, it makes a lot more sense why he’d see a grieving, angry little Dick Grayson years later and think yes, the ethical and normal thing to do here is to teach the boy to fight myself and give him his own costume.

I'm sorry to new fans but they'll never have what we oldies have: Ugly ass official character art and Rick Riordan threatening to kill characters while answering readers tweets

love love the intentional aspect of the trust, loyalty and devotion that's shared between luffy and zoro. as much as fate has come into play in the story, agency and choices are so important too and these two have 20+ years worth of publication in terms of how their relationship's been structured and built along those years and it's fascinating, truly.

I know there's mixed opinions on whiskey peak, for example, but I like that it happened precisely before major arcs such as alabasta, jaya-skypiea and water 7-enies lobby in which luffy actively chose to trust zoro - with saving smoker, during the confrontation against bellamy's crew, with nami robin and chopper, with zoro's assessment of robin's situation and later usopp's comeback to the crew. because luffy has been plenty made aware that the straw hats' well-being and safety is something zoro greatly prioritizes and watches out for. thriller bark also wasn't a random or blind decision made by zoro, it was the result of all the love/loyalty/devotion he's come to feel for luffy and the crew throughout their journey, especially luffy who's proved time and time again that he's a man worth following and given zoro so much in turn (a home, friends to care for and who care for him too, adventure, someone who completely believes in and respects both zoro and his dream, a reason to keep fighting and getting stronger for etc etc).

idk. it's just so deliberate in a way I find compelling. every single time luffy places himself or the crew, their allies or just civilians under zoro's protection that's a choice, one with so much weight and context behind it. when zoro says stuff like "there'd be no point in me being pirate if not on this ship", no matter how casually he does it, that's the kind of thing that highlights how he continually chooses to remain by luffy and the crew's side, for similar reasons. really good stuff.

“A guy”.

Sorry Doumeki you are just some guy now.

Though actually since this is Watanuki we're talking about, "A guy" is probably the kinder version of of how he phrased it when he was practicing this speech to himself.

Oho it’s all starting to click into place. She hates the taste of her own food because she hates something about herself that she can taste through her own cooking. Still debating whether it's something truly horrible or if she really just doesn't like herself.

Thalia Grace is immortal. Jason was not. So like… Thalia must have known that she’s have to say goodbye to her brother at some point. And that’s super depressing. But not as depressing as realizing she not only had to say goodbye so much earlier than she probably excepted, but that she never even got the chance.

Eddie Brock and Miguel O’Hara are like the two opposite ends on the spectrum titled ‘deranged as a result of being raised Catholic’

Eddie Brock: I love you symbiote you were the answer to my prayers you are the angel sent from God to save me and together we are unstoppable we will kill Spiderman and then live happily ever after

Miguel O’Hara: god is dead in a ditch and I know this because I pushed him

question that I could look up but im lazy: do we know (from the comics or otherwise) what charles’ parents occupations were? or their household’s economic status (ie; middle class, working class, etc)? if not, does anyone have any good guesses based on the details we see of charles’ life?

Timely reminder that Grimmjow is, in fact, a Vasto Lorde.

We never saw his pre-Arrancar form, but the whole conclusion of his backstory was his men allowing him to tear a piece of themselves off so he could reach the final stage. That's where his mane and spikes came from.
