rewatching one piece Again and luffy told sanji “dying isn’t how you repay kindness!” it took so much for that to sink in for sanji. he tried dying for zeff at the battle with don krieg at the baratie. he’s struck down by enel. he tried to jump in front of zoro before kuma. he sold himself to big mom. he sees his life as so worthless for too long until luffy comes to save him. he’s one of the wings of the pirate king. he’s a beloved son to a fighting cook. he is worth so much and has a home in this world and it took his whole life to figure it out. it’s insane how much luffy can heal people’s deepest traumas with his love

never let it be said that shen yuan doesnt fight for his man with bloody teeth

he started off already risking being sent back to his dead body to protect baby binghe the best he could on his first meeting and then continued to do so once the ooc shackles came off, made sure he felt loved and safe and at home on cqm, gave him every advantage he could think of (and then wondered why binghe got out of the abyss 2 yrs early, honey...), but bc those scum villain blinders were on so tight, he doesnt accept that he (the man shen yuan inside the character shen qingqiu) can change his own path enough to not be killed, and plans his own death accordingly bc he wont ever fight against binghe again if he can help it, i just...

this man loves binghe so much that he couldnt even conceive of a world in which binghe loves him back - and thats not just the comphet olympics in his brain talking, sy genuinely believes he's unlovable and only maybe sort of likeable by his fellow peak lords, and part of that comes from being forced into a scum villains role and not knowing the bigger picture behind sqq's actions (not even touching on how sy barely saw the entire cast of pidw as people until binghe actually looked hurt to him), but the rest was already preprogrammed before he transmigrated, and i want to know who hurt him so bad - bc all sy could imagine is that the whole world should love binghe, bc thats howmuch sy loves him the story is supposed to go, but all he could imagine for himself was gratitude at best and his demise at worst, until the very moment that it becomes clear that lbh has done everything, fucking EVERYTHING, to get sqq to love him back and i just SCREAMS

i cant imagine that sy would just let binghe go if he should ever decide to love someone else, the possession goes both ways with these two, and sy would fight tooth and nail to keep binghe for himself

This wasn't what @satintightsnic expected her first day in the office to be like.

authors note: I am going to be making posts describing each trope individually as well as sub-genres and examples of that trope. I had something similar to this in my notes for my stories and decided to share. there are a lot of tropes out there, so feel free to comment other ones. remember you are loved and important <3

[sarafangirlart]

The Damsel in Distress trope is fine as long as the damsel in question has her own goals, personality and story outside of her rescuer. You don’t “fix” the trope by just making the damsel strong in a masculine sense, or making her rescuer the “real villain”, or making her “save herself” (which is low key victim blaming) then call it a day, female characters can be strong without being physically strong.

this pretty little look he does when he realizes he fucked up

[lover-of-mine]

No, but they are so sick for these 2 stills tho. It's the same concept but Tommy is pulling away where Eddie is literally holding Buck's hand.

@.amnalaqubaisi_official: The reel deal 🎬

[akascow]

ik it was the 70s and everyone dressed gay in the 70s but the way they dressed charles and erik in Days of Future Past theres not even a hint of heterosexual in those men

not to mention charles yelling 'you abandoned me' at erik while crying lmaooooo sounds like a bad breakup to me

and logan saying 'the professor ik would never turn his back on someone he loved' to charles after JUST talking about erik

[lesbianwyllravengard]

Everyone says Wyll could fix Astarion but when will ppl acknowledge that Astarion could fix Wyll too. They could fix each other. Or make each other worse. both are fun. point is it's very much mutual aid
