#OP ramblings

sabo being adopted by the Monkey D. family THREE times is so funny to me with luffy being sure we’re brothers now :))) garp being oh you’re the brother of my grandsons? catch this fist of love!! and dragon being i found this traumatized boy i’d rather raised him than my own son

[maoam]

It's hilarious how I remember a NRSK shipper saying "Sasuke wouldn't be able to give Naruto a family (cos they can't reproduce)" and I also remember a Luna shipper saying Luffy needs a legacy (children) because he's the future pirate king.

It's funny how the message of a series goes right over some people's heads. When Ace died, they made a point to voice it out loud how his will goes on even if he is dead. He was Roger's only child too so that means Roger's line ended too. But it never meant their legacy ended. Same way Naruto has always made a point how family is more than just blood ties.

Het shippers are so obsessed with breeding, it's quite sad. And then they go and act like fujoshis are shallow. Lol.

Obsessed with how fucking rude Sabo is in Dressrosa to literally everyone but Luffy and his crew. Sabo isn't more or less unhinged than his brothers but he definitely has his own flavor of crazy. He just does not give a fuck until you bad mouth one of his brothers in which case he'll shatter your skull with his bare hands. Just totally normal ASL things.

I welcome all of ye who love the mech of my dreams.

For this means we are associates with the same holy purpose.

Rejoice, rodimi! Because thou are not alone in this lands!

Plenty of allies enjoy the same nectar of the gods as thou.

The thing I keep coming back to, with all the *gestures expansively* is that real life doesn't have peaceful epilogues.

Every single win has to be defended. Forever. I'm sorry. It sucks. The Nazis lost until they stopped losing. The US had abortion rights, and then 50 years later it didn't. Empires fall, and then they invade other countries again. Oppressive regimes are overthrown and replaced with other oppressive regimes. You will never finish the work etc etc etc. Which is why it's so fucking important to be able to acknowledge and celebrate progress, when it happens. The people who came before you didn't put in all that work for nothing, and you aren't, either. You can't save it all for the Ultimate Victory because there is never going to be an Ultimate Victory. There's no such thing as a time when everything is good, and ours shall not be the commune of Heaven.

I'm a,,,,silly emotional creature

It's a game, a Pokémon game no less

And it's only been two years and yet,,,,I feel sad? Missing it almost? As if I can't replay it or see it again, or draw it or see others draw it etc etc-

And yet,,,I'm sad?

Has it already been so long? I mean tbf I played it a year after it's release, Legends Arcues-

And it's only been two years

Perhaps it's the fact I'm in my early 20s and even then I'm still younger I still get the hit of the speed of adulthood-

I'm not saying I've found a new emotion, I'm sure this is probably just nostalgia in its earliest behest-

But call me weird there's an attachment to the game, one that feels silly to say there's a soft sadness in my chest, a similar one to how I feel when I have to be away from my boyfriend for example for such a long time-

That silly human attachment to unreal characters, to the thoughts about characters with fondness, sadness, frustration as if they were real people-

Perhaps I sound odd but it's true

I'm someone that went through hardships before now, during my time with the game, and only recently have I been able to feel that, those emotions so silly for fictional media, without being judged actually people seem to like my babbles about the game(even if it is just ocs and Volo heh)

But yeah I dunno I'm rambling but yeah,,,There's that fondness in my chest and I'm thinking about it so fondly after reading a bloody fanfic that's 2 years old at this point

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KING 🗣🗣🗣

[goodluckdetective]

Look, this is what moral OCD is like for me:

I walk past a piece of paper. I don’t pick it up because I had a long day at work and it’s very cold outside. This then becomes my internal monologue:

I didn’t pick up that piece of paper, I should have. Don’t I care about the environment? It’s not my trash, I shouldn’t have to pick it up. But also that’s how these things happen right? We place the blame on others as our environment degrades. It was just a piece of paper, it’s not like it can do that much damage. But also how do I know: I’m not an environmental expert. Maybe stray paper scraps are killing the frogs. You’re literally killing the frogs. You should look up how many frogs die a year so you know how shitty you are-No stop it.

I care about the environment, and I recycle and I joined green activism movements but is that enough? I could be doing more. I should be doing more. I should donate my entire check to charity. But isn’t it self serving to think that my one check could help that much? Do I really think I’m that important, how self entitled and-no stop it, reset! You are obsessing and if you fall for it, you will not eat dinner. Let it go.

Okay it’s just a piece of paper. It’s okay you skipped it this once: it could have had something dangerous on it. Yeah that makes sense. But also, that means I’m putting my own safety over trying to help the environment, which is very selfish of me. I’m just one shitty person: god how could I be so self absorbed. I should have picked up the piece of paper. I’m so selfish, and shitty and-no, no, stop it! This is not helpful. It’s fine.

It’s been a long day and I’m cold, that’s not a crime- no that’s being selfish again, you’re making excuses. You’re just a lazy piece of shit who doesn’t care about others, and selfish and God the fact you’re thinking this much about one piece of paper shows how selfish you are, you care more about if you’re a good person than anything else, you’re a piece of shit, you’re a piece of shit, YOU’RE A PIECE OF SHIT.

I get home and open up Tumblr. The first post I see says “if you don’t reblog this post about the environment you’re as complicit as an oil billionaire.” I close my computer and resign myself to looking up the state frog populations until I go to bed.

I don’t eat dinner.

The amount of frogs that die a year is somewhere from 200 million to over 1 billion.

"Yagami Light as a youtuber would probably plagiarise" WRONG Yagami Light is insanely intelligent and looks down on literally every single other human person, he would rather stab himself in the eye than using the works of someone else - someone who can't be anything but beneath him. Pre-Death Note youtuber!Light would make long-ass videos about Everything Wrong With Society with completely unhinged takes about how xyz small innocuous thing is responsible for gang violence with numbers* to back it up.

"Light would plagiarise" get the fuck out of here.

*numbers which he completely twists to his own bias - without even knowing it because he thinks way too highly of himself

Live action Nami has organs and ribs.

Worst part of the end of Enies Lobby is Zoro's bullshit pride take on what Usopp and Luffy's fight was about. I need to go and look at the translation used in the manga but in the anime they have him say ''we also can't keep trusting a guy who started all of this on a whim'' like bitch WHAT?!

The fuck did he witness throughout Water 7 that would make him say something so dismissive of the heart of what that fight was about? 'Whim' completely trivializes everything that happened, every single word Usopp said, it dismisses Merry and everything she did. It pisses me off so much.

Also makes me mad how rude he was to everyone else, especially Nami, during that whole scene. Telling her to shut up as if her opinion doesn't matter when truly her opinion should matter the most, like aside from Luffy being the captain, she's the real reason they can sail the sea at all!

Usopp's the whole reason Merry could save them at all (aside from Iceburg patching her up during Aqua Laguna) getting off Enies Lobby, AND he was the person who motivated Luffy to get up and finish Lucci off. 'Cause up until that point Luffy's heart was still broken from losing him in the first place, like Luffy knew his crew wasn't complete without Usopp and he regretted not being able to keep him from leaving.

Why Zoro felt the need to talk over Luffy and decide things for him, a direct display of disrespecting the captain he's holding against Usopp, while Luffy just goes along with it versus make a decision himself. Luffy SHOULD have gone to talk to him, BOTH of them should have had a deeper, more meaningful conversation about the fight, Usopp got to say goodbye to Merry in a way that satisfied him AND Luffy at that point, all they needed was an apology. And Usopp was not the only one who needed to give one, Luffy handled that abysmally from the start, it could have been settled way better than Zoro's method of needing Usopp to grovel and beg while letting Luffy get away with not giving a fuck about how he handled everything to begin with.

I mean thankfully Luffy learned from that experience, as we see when Sanji left during Whole Cake Island, but it came after having completely ignored Usopp's core issues, never addressing them directly, hence why he then goes into Thriller Bark not any different except now he's OPENLY bragging about being negative and self-loathing. Like very cool, very well handled guys...

It's almost like Oda couldn't have that happen then because Usopp still needed to have his core issues (recognizing he IS brave, he IS strong, he IS smart and useful and needed!!!) and that the best place to do that wasn't until Elbaf. Like he left his character on pause for hundreds of chapters and many MANY years and it's only in the next few that we might get the full payoff as we finally enter the Elbaf arc. (Which is interestingly also turning into a Robin-centric arc so Oda does seem to be cooking with that one already.)

Anyway, had to vent about that again, 'cause it's the only time I ever got mad at any of the crew and it was never addressed again. As soon as Usopp does say sorry he's accepted right away and they all go back to acting like nothing ever happened (which is how Luffy was operating anyway the moment he woke up back at Water 7...). Zoro's prideful way of doing shit is often not the best way to handle things and thankfully that's been pointed out before (Punk Hazard by Tashigi) but I genuinely wonder if Oda has any plans to tackle that as a character flaw in any later arcs.
