#He’s perfect in every way

I think that the power scaling community would benefit from coming to terms with their own weakness. I know that you all think that in the One Piece world you would be Kid or Zoro or Milhawk but OOPS you would be Usopp. 100%. The craziness of the One Piece characters is born from their lived experiences within the universe, you wouldn’t be able to comprehend the correct physics in order to participate in a fight much less win.

Here’s what you would do…you’re best. You would fight scrappy and limited. You would get really good at using your environment and honestly running away most of the time.

Usopp isn’t weak, he’s realistic…he’s all of us. Once you come to terms with the idea that you would be Usopp, then we can talk about power in One Piece.

I could write hymns about the way my hands fit around his throat, fingers digging into the sides. About how I can easily slide them around his wrists to pin him down. About how I can grip onto his hips and manhandle him like he weighs nothing. About how my fingers feel sliding into and out of his tight cunt, stroking each and every fold and wall they can reach.

He’s a god, don’t you know? He can create oceans. He gave birds their songs, dogs their voice. His skin is a map of all of the things he’s experienced, places he’s been. His lips speak words that only a select few will ever understand. Those hips I mentioned earlier? They’re my altar where I worship him, on my knees praying to the only thing I’ve ever needed.

Everyone around us knows what’s happened over this week and a half- a mortal reaching divinity, ascending further than he thought imaginable. He looks the part- arms outstretched, mouth agape, eyes rolled back as the ethereal clutches him in it’s grasp.

He is not the same person that he was when I came here. He’s been changed, molded almost. I’ve seen the way his confidence has blossomed, how he seems to walk around with a much wider smile, much brighter eyes. He looks more… alive.

I love that look on him.

There will be tears tomorrow. I will hug him and cry and wish I didn’t have to leave. But he’s keeping one of my shirts with him so that I’m still here in a way. And then we will plan summer, and I will see him again, and we’ll both ascend to that godhood again together.

thinking about not only the specific people lucanis pulls in to represent the 'locks' in his psyche, but the storytelling that happens in the structure/order of them. the underlying ideas are presented something like:

the lucanis who went into the ossuary never came back out again; he died down there (the boy caterina raised is gone forever) -> you're putting yourself in danger doing this (by being close to me), you should leave because I can't bear it if you get hurt because of me -> it doesn't matter even if we do try this, it won't work anyway (again because of me) ('you know what he's like, you can open the door but he won't walk through it' :'( oofie doofie) -> what if the real secret is that there was never anything but the monster in here from the beginning. you should leave, there was never anything here worth saving in the first place. (implicitly: what if I deserved what happened, all along.)

it runs pretty cleanly from outward-oriented attachment anxiety ('caterina won't even want me back like this, she won't recognize me (the same way I no longer recognize myself)) and gradually deeper inwards until we reach self-image and self worth. or you know, the harrowing basic lack of it lol.

"careful -- they'll know we're not right," spite says in one of their first scenes... but clearly, some very deep part of lucanis has feared or suspected for much longer than that that there's something inherently not right at the core of him, way before any demon entered the picture. and the voice he gives those lines to is the person who should know him better than anyone in the world, who he has loved more than anyone in the world -- and who deliberately chose to hurt him so horrifically anyway. 'It's better if I'm just a monster and deserved what happened than it is to allow for the idea that the brother I love doesn't really exist and maybe never did'. it's better if he's fundamentally flawed in some way that needed fixing to help him survive, and that's why caterina chose to hurt him again and again -- out of love. (this one I think he might have a very sad wakeup call on one day if he ever ends up with the responsibility and care of a child of his own in some way and realizes just how alien the idea of ever intentionally hurting them for any reason is to him. oh buddy. also interesting that he keeps caterina as the outermost lock -- there IS a distance he keeps there that he hasn't with illario. he doesn't resent her 'anymore' he says, but he also keeps her carefully further away from his deepest self.)

as far as I could tell the only note in the mind prison that's fully hidden and needs to be uncovered is the sad painful helpless stupid little truth that even after all this, even knowing what happened... he still loves his brother. is there anything illario could ever do that would make lucanis completely stop loving him, do you think? sometimes the trouble with unconditional love is that it is, well. unconditional, even when some terms and conditions probably would have been in order haha.

that's the pattern you see there again and again; he would rather destroy and abandon and imprison himself at every turn than let go of love, even when it's just scraps, even when there's only ever enough of it to hurt him. it's only when rook shows up and as it were takes his hand and walks along with him that he can entertain the idea of changing the story of what walking out the door might mean in the end.

I don’t know how to say this exactly but like… fandom and show are kinda weird about Mel and Ekko and it is very much rooted in racism
