#I Don’t miss that nonsense

[crewdlydrawn]

Love rewatching this series now, when I no longer shame myself—Shipper-goggles or whatever you wanna call it, this is a doozy of a line, Hiei. 👀

I think it’s interesting how as time goes on Zoro kind of becomes more and more like mihawk in some ways whether that’s just because if you spend time with someone for 2 years you’re bound to pick up their habits or a deliberate attempt to emulate him is a conversation for another time. And Mihawk and Zoro where already pretty similar at the start so it’s a little hard to notice now.

But yeah whether unconsciously or consciously Zoro is becoming a bit more like Mihawk and it’s interesting to think that while this means maturing in some ways (he’s swordsmanship for one but he’s also just quieter much more assured of himself) it also means deaging in some others.

Despite their significant age gap and general dispositions, when it comes down to it Zoro is just a lot more emotionally mature and developed than Mihawk is. And a big part of why is because he found something larger than himself to devote his life too, hell Mihawk himself even kind of acknowledges this when he agrees to take Zoro on as a student when Zoro begs for the sake of his captain and crew. He acknowledges that putting aside his own ego and dreams for the sake of someone else isn’t something he can do and sees it as a fault in himself and a strength in Zoro.

Mihawk may be outwardly mature and his skills defiently did not stagnant but I’d wager that Mentally Mihawk is still stuck at the same age he was when he took over the title of world’s strongest swordsman. Honestly maybe even younger. And it isn’t until training Zoro, letting Perona stay with him, for probably the first time in his life taking charge of lives outside his own did he finally unarrest his development.

If Zoro is purposely trying to emulate Hawkeyes, which it wouldn’t be a surprise if he was that’s who he’s trying to be Afterall, then it would honestly set him back emotionally because fundamentally as he is now Mihawk’s attitude doesn’t work in a crew. It’s too singular, too abrasive. And while that abrasiveness can be useful in Zoro’s role as Luffy’s first mate sometimes it makes him a little too callous a little too apathetic, like with his disregard for Luffy’s sadness over vegapunk.

But Zoro has his crew to temper that, they are honestly just too ridiculous to ever stay serious around. And try as he might to hide it Zoro is also just a silly dude who likes to be horrifically petty with his opponents. And zoro still has so much fire in him, so much he has too prove and so much he wants to protect to ever really fall into Mihawk’s apathy. Zoro has Luffy who even after they reach their dreams will probably still continue to turn the world upside down forever keeping Zoro in some kind of trouble and his life interesting.

Zoro can’t be Mihawk because even Mihawk can’t be Mihawk anymore. Being with crossguild and crossing with the Red hair pirates and the strawhats is going to change him, it has too. if Mihawk is going to live after losing his title he’s probably gonna have to become a little bit more like Zoro.

I don’t know what I feel, but loki creating and holding together Yggdrasil after centuries of time-looping and failure and loneliness was not on my bingo card, and it did make me smile sadly in a “yeah wow I guess this could be it” way. Idk cheers I guess

Just sped read two chapters (I’ll have to update on later) but imma be honest people: I am on chapter 61 (or I guess it’s the next one I read? Idk words🤦‍♀️) and I am feeling very real fear right about now👀🫥😬😅 like I got a few pages in & was like; mmm… yeah… no…this is gonna keep me up finishing this book (and I cannot be drowsy working tomorrow)… but like… Rowan is sneaking out… and it’s stupid Maeve (I really do hate her and she’s only been in like 2 chapters and I am so over her)… and it’s worse cause I KNEW IT the second Elide was like “Lorcan’s restless” I was like ITS MAEVE PROXIMITY but ANSEL JUST GAVE ME HOPE! and Lysaedion😊🥹 & Manorian😉😂 are being allllll cute! And then Rowaelin because ROWAN IS HAPPY😭 for once in 2 centuries this man is smiling & SJM has the nerve to say “the spark went out” (writing this like she isn’t the genius author that created everything and is instead some random opinion😂) and now I’m scared because they’re all toooooo happy???… like oh yeah we’re kinda happy — until… idk… I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS; she just left me on THAT… THATS THE PROBLEM & fuck fuck fuck this CANNOT end well😅😅 but Dorian said Asterins alive? BUT WHERE IS ABRAXOS? And everyone’s been warning me & I am STILL NOT ready at all in the slightest… UGHHHHWHHHHHYYYYYY (they deserve an ACOFAS style fluff book after this😭) and I guess I just need to schedule finishing this book and reading all of tower of dawn cause I can’t with these cliffhangers anymore😅😅

semi hiatus notice !

june 27 - july 24

this has been more or less already in effect for three weeks i just haven’t had the time or energy to coherently make a post about it so here we are! i’m currently taking a summer intensive program which is eating up my days and nights with studying and work and, while i love it, it leaves me with little time and capacity to be here and be writing as much as i’d love to be. for the duration of the program i won’t be around much or checking the dash (although every now and then you might seem in your notifications anyways). i love you all very much & i am sending everyone lots of love constantly. you can always reach my via discord (you’re more than welcome to ask for it if you don’t have it) but replies might be slow there. take care of yourselves and be kind to each other out there! with care, birdie

Grand Maison Tokyo: Episode 10 (2019)

[kinos-fortress-2]

i think….

bid and pauling would give it a try.

just for three hours later acknowledging they can’t kiss each other and they just don’t go.

they were both drunk in a bar and reddy wasn’t around. so that’s why they go insane with the topic “haha we’re both kinda similar and fucked up why don’t we give it a shot since we don’t wanna end up in this single boat forever”

[lonelysatoru]

twitter one piece fandom is so annoying like. it’s all just power scaling, calling random strawhat members useless, and zolu zosan debates like girl can you please be quiet and just watch the show

[is-the-owl-video-cute]

i feel like we've lost the plot here. you responded to sexual harassment with jokes and got swarmed. i feel like you took the bait a little, some of your anon answers really couldve started and stopped with "my gender isnt your buissness, and i was just responded to sexual harassment towards myself with jokes. and also i dont know your pronouns when your on anon" (the answer about my dude being gender neutral is now used as proof that anyone not a transgirl wont respect pronouns). i dont think you're a bad person for those responses btw you were getting swarmed by people trying to bait you and id assume thatd be stressful as shit, the anon getting mad about being misgendered while being on anon IS very silly but i do have to agree that defending the right to keep calling someone the wrong nouns just because theyre gender neutral is also a bad answer

what triggered a lot these insane anons was someone pointing out that the post about tgirls and tboys should kiss/fuck/whatever else instead of fight which i also think was (maybe) taken out of context as a tumblirfied "make love not war" joke. if it was meant as a "ignore tgirls problems" post then fuck it obviously btw thats my personal interpretation on it

theres been valid criticism in both these cases but both spiraled wildly out of control. the answer here is people should just be normal and acknowledge that tboys and tgirls both face problems that suck and can be made worse by devolving into semantics discourse

idk i have a lot of feelings about all this nonsense

Playing Devils advocate for people who sent me porn of underaged characters and animal abuse gifs repeatedly sure is. An option you can explore I suppose.

i really need to get insane about an au i think that’s what’s wrong with me. that’s what’s missing right now
