I love how important Marcus is to episode 2.

When he walks in, it's to the usual dysfunction that is a feature of the Berzatto family dynamic.

Richie and Carmy are yelling at each other instead of talking, Syd is caught in between them, while the people who love them and are used to it come in to calm things down, fail and make things worse by bringing up Claire - the reason Carmy is spiralling.

Carmy said some shit to Claire & as usual, instead of dealing with his mistake, he is avoiding - by changing the menu, by drafting 'non-negotiables' that he won't discuss because he wants to yell and fight about it because he is a Berzatto after all and THIS IS HOW THEY DEAL WITH SHIT. By yelling and fighting about another issue that they just made up that has nothing to do with the real issue that needs dealing with!

It doesn't seem to be getting better and they're on the verge of wasting an entire day and not working at all when Marcus walks in and offers them something that was missing in all that dysfunction - PERSPECTIVE.

Marcus is a reminder of all the sacrifices and mistakes they've made. A reminder of why they all gave so much so that this restaurant could work. Marcus was working with them in that restaurant when his mother died.

And suddenly, none of the yelling is important anymore.

embarrassment over liking adventure time no longer about outgrowing it, but from the fact no character beatboxes as well as i thought

[fizzarollispisscorner]

People say they want to see characters with PTSD and trauma, but then complain that characters are "OOC" or "whiny uwu soft babs" when they realistically depict being traumatized.

I wish I had a shed load of money purely to make a reunion 2 part episode of merlin in the modern day.

I mean can you imagine the opening scene of merlin sat in a 1940s bar, a singer in the background singing "we'll meet again" and him just there looking glum. Friendly stranger walks up, they're talking and he gets asked if he's missing anyone important, and he just says 'my best friend', the stranger sympathetically pats him on the back, asks how long it's been, and he says it feels like centuries. They toast to the fast return of their loved ones, then it cuts to modern day.

Then from there, he meets Arthur reincarnated as a modern day person. Of course we need a big bad, so add in Morgana or something, then at the end of the 2 part idk some kind of love confession. And bang end.

Also important:

Having a preference for or being attracted to someone who's fat isn't a kink or a fetish. You're not a chubby chaser, or have a BBW or BBM fetish, or are into feederism.

I see these accusations thrown around when someone dates or is into a fat person. Don't let that stop you from liking who you like, and stare at those people like the freaks they are for making that assumption (and tell them "that's not what your mom/dad said last night.")

It's actually completely ok to be attracted to a fat person because they're fat. You're not inherently disrespecting them by not ignoring and actively appreciating their fatness. You don't see the same level of scrutiny towards people who have preferences about hair color or height or facial hair. Having a preference doesn't mean you dehumanize people who have the feature you're attracted to.

When you're not forcing them to do or be anything they don't want to be, there's nothing inherently immoral about being attracted to specific physical traits.

Stop treating fatness as a trait that people are attracted to other people in spite of. Stop treating fat people like they're undesirable and any attractions towards them is inherently suspicious. Especially if you're acting like this is somehow for the benefit of fat people.

I am once again baffled by peoples bad takes online

[coquelicoq]

every scene in this episode shows natsume's growth. right at the beginning, he asks shigeru to teach him how to make a flowerbed - no longer is he going to the library for books because he can't let himself trust anyone enough to ask for help. he agrees to help the youkai but asserts his boundaries consistently. he doesn't hide what's happening from tanuma. he's making peace with his memories, building a bridge between his past and his future. he trusts now that he has a future. he smiles fakely exactly zero times the entire episode. i'm so impressed with midorikawa's mastery in portraying slow character growth over time. all of this feels earned and 1000% more emotionally resonant because it follows from and builds on everything that came before. it coheres.

As a MareWare ceo. What do you think of the people that call them a “problematic ship”?

I personally have no problem with the ship itself. I think it’s hilarious and offers a unique dynamic between the two. And I personally don’t care if people like the ship or not. But I feel like it’s a weird label to put on what is essentially just a hero x villain /crackship.

Ohh boy.

Okay so there’s a beeg misunderstanding around the Marware ship and a lot of people like to label it as victim x abuser bc Mr Puzzles indirectly tormented the SMG4 crew for a year.

Now, in my personal opinion, labelling all toxic ships as proships is a bit ridiculous bc with that logic, pretty much any ship could be argued to be a proship. I could argue that SMG34 is a proship because SMG3 harassed SMG4 for years and stole from him and tried to kill him. If we were in 2020 back at the peak of SMG3’s villainy during the YouTube arc, I can BET that there would be people calling SMG34 and Mar3 a proship bc Three essentially erased Four from existence and kept Mario as a prisoner until he was willing to cooperate. But of course, those ships are not proships, nor were they ever. But bc of that abuse rule, any idiot can make the argument that they are proships and a bunch of people waste a bunch of time talking about it.

But, if we are going to include the abuse rule, Marware still does not qualify to be a proship.

Why?

Because Mr Puzzles is incapable of actually hurting Mario.

We saw him try to intimidate and threaten him during Puzzlevision and Mario just kicked his ass every single time. Hell, Puzzles was cowering in FEAR of the man! And you want to tell me Marware is an abusive proship where Mario is the poor little victim? Oh please, he wouldn’t take that shit from Puzzles and you know it. It’s MARIO for Pete’s sake. If anyone’s the victim in this relationship it’s Puzzles /j

Also, although the crew were forced to perform in Puzzles’ shows against their will, Mario seemed to be actually ENJOYING Puzzles’ schemes which is ridiculous but true. The only time Mario really hated one of Puzzles’ schemes was when he stole his moustache and as soon as he confronted him, the first thing he did was smash his screen in as revenge.

If you want to write off the entirety of Puzzlevision as Mario being fully brainwashed (despite definitely not being brainwashed in the Gameshow Episode), then fine. We’ll just take a look at wotfi, the Puzzlevision movie, and the meme factory mini arc.

Wotfi 2024: Mario was the only one who wanted to stay in Puzzle Park when they first arrived, he was clearly having fun with a lot of the games (joking around with SMG4, smiling, clearly enjoying himself), in the wotfi song he literally said “I’m-a having fun! Let’s-a stay!” …..

Meme Factory Mini arc: Mario dropped in, danced around a bit, and got threatened by Puzzles. He didn’t even register the threat. He just stood there with a stupid look on his face. He couldn’t care less.

Puzzlevision movie: Mario gets threatened by Puzzles and immediately breaks his screen, demands TV time, and chases him around the entire mushroom kingdom trying to get his TV time back. He is completely unfazed by Puzzles yelling at him for ruining his 5 stars and instead continues to taunt him. When he gets told to ram his head into the wall 1000 times, he comes out completely uninjured afterwards bc Mario cannot get hurt like a normal person. SMG4 beheaded him in “No TV makes Mario not okie dokie” and he’s still doing fine. He clearly does not operate mentally and physically like a human.

It’s also worth noting that Mario is the ONLY character in the entirety of SMG4 who genuinely enjoys the creations that Puzzles is passionate about!! His shows, his theme park, whatever he does out of pure passion! Mario is there and in full support of it, no matter how terrible the parody may be.

If you want to bring up Western Spaghetti and IGBP then that’s fair. However, I don’t think Mario actually KNOWS Puzzles is responsible for those events. Think about it! Mario wasn’t there when Puzzles revealed he was behind those movies. And the crew themselves are seemingly over that whole thing as well. SMG4 is just irritated by Puzzles now. Meggy honestly seems to be the only one who is directly affected mentally by his schemes.

At the end of the day, you’ve got to remember that it’s a silly little meme show and a lot of what goes on really shouldn’t be taken that seriously. Especially with the character of Mario. But even if you want to take it seriously, you’ve got to look at the facts. Mario is too stupid to be mentally affected by what Puzzles does and physically, he is untouchable.

Marware is not a proship. It is not problematic. It’s is just hero x villain.

You don’t have to like it, but don’t go around calling the people who ship it proshippers

(This is not directed at you anon. Just people in general who misunderstand their relationship)

Anyway, live laugh love Marware

to seek comfort in the arms of low-lives, and unfortunates, and broken children, fine. but revealing our nature to a REPORTER. you met at a bar ten hours ago. what if it was published? we don’t have enough to fear from paris???

i think one of the things that makes the one piece fan letter episode so special is that even though it's ostensibly about 'a letter from the fans to the straw hats' it's also 'a letter to the fans' and its entire message is 'we see you, we are you, and we love you!' from the team

it is, no joke, one of the most heartfelt and beautiful pieces of animation that any studio has ever produced.

it's similar to the 100 volume/1000 episode celebration in that even though the series we're all watching is about these wacky, insane powers and situations, at the end of the day we connect to the story because the emotions it evokes are real, and we might not feel them because our real life talking reindeer son left to join a pirate crew, but there are times in our lives where we've felt the same as the characters whose adventures we're following, even in a different situation

and to have the fans represented in the world, from all ages and walks of life, really is demonstrative of the sheer breadth and depth of the one piece fanbase.

one of the earliest SBS answers oda gave is this:

AND IT SHOWS!

it's genuinely such a special experience to be on this journey with a community of millions. when i see other OP fans in the wild, we've made an instant connection (shout out to that dude in toronto i stopped to chat with for like 20 minutes cause he was wearing luffy cosplay who teamed up with me to talk my friend into trying op!!)-- we might get the series through different mediums, we might connect to it in different ways, we might disagree about quite literally everything, but everyone's ultimately another piece of the puzzle that makes up the whole of the one piece fanbase, and without them we wouldn't be where we are. to have that so lovingly depicted in such a fun, exciting way was amazing!

and that last montage ended on this, which isn't just a message from this kid to nami, but from us to the crew, from toei & oda to us, from all of us to each other!
