#TRUE FUCKING STORY

15.

what you don't know is that there's a whole other world down that street you've never turned onto until there's a crash two miles up on South Straits and a fire truck blocking the road by that little cafe and now you're in unfamiliar territory just you and your one headlight trying to find an overpass so you can take the next left

Will: (brand new to his fief, barely knows the Baron and Battlemaster) Skandians: (breaching the coast of Seacliff) Battlemaster and Baron: (inadequately prepared to fight and panicking over potentially 40 attacking Skandians) Will: "hold my beer i'll invite them to dinner real quick"

Someone hit my car when I wasn’t even in it, but I got my insurance involved. They charged me $1000 that I wasn’t expecting, or I couldn’t have my car back from the repair place. I had to fight not to cry right there, so be careful and make sure to clarify with your insurance if you need to get them involved or not

I taught WWII history in the last 4 months and let me tell you... America once imported 1,600 Nazis during Operation Paperclip and their shitty rhetoric has destroyed our country. We put money over justice and look at the damage.

We are headed straight into Nazi Germany Part 2: Republican Boogaloo if you don't fucking vote and vote FOR BIDEN. January 6th was the Trump version of a Munich Beer Hall Putsch, except instead of putting him in prison like they did with Hitler, our justice system gave him IMMUNITY.

Trump will put MORE conservatives in the SCOTUS and they will remove our rights and protections at a much faster pace than they already are. He will roll back protections for minorities. He will turn us into a fascist country because he TOLD US that's the plan.

PLEASE vote. Please. I am so tired of living in fear every day because I REMEMBER GEORGE W. BUSH. I GREW UP AFTER AN ELECTION WHERE DEMOCRATS TRIED TO TEACH THEIR PARTY A LESSON AND WE ENDED UP FUNDING THE TALIBAN AND THEN GOING TO WAR WITH THEM! FUCKING VOTE AND VOTE FOR BIDEN.

I really don't wanna relive the history I just taught.

SILENCE = DEATH

DO NOT let us live under the new Pink Triangle.

Roommate 1 (petting her cat) "I wish I were a cat. He gets to lounge around all day, free food, toys to play with, lots of pets. There's not a single thought in that little head."

Roommate 2 (also petting the cat) "Yeah, if I got turned into a cat, I wouldn't want to change back."

Me, eyes bloodshot, veins bulging, struggling to hold back the tide pounding against my social filter "Yeah haha that would be cool"

2134.

it was going pretty well actually until the fog machine came on and even that was fine until elsewhere in the building some catastrophe triggered flashing lights an automatic voice repeating "there's been an emergency in the building wait for further instructions"

this being about the point one of the cast members got a reminder forceful that PTSD doesn't care so much about time when the sirens start back up

we picked it up you know we pulled it through she was gone someone covered keep it moving hugs for afterwards rehearsal first she was back up in time to die like good sports always are

I don't know it just all feels a little on the nose some nights

I feel like we don't discuss Nami's relationship with gender enough. Her entire character is so deeply informed by being a girl in a male-dominated pirate world and it's so interesting and so worth talking about.

The background creepiness of Bad pirate crews, which are most of them, how they tend to not have any female crew members at all, how they beckon any pretty young woman around to come play with them and join them. It's real bad. It's also like, a totally 2 dimensional portrayal of evil that is reserved for the most background of background characters.

However I think their ubiquity says a lot about how piracy is meant to be perceived by the public in One Piece, and is one of the strongest indicators of how prevalent misogyny is in-world.

It's very normal in One Piece for regular island inhabitants to have never met a Different class of pirate in their life. There's no reason for them to withhold judgement that maybe these pirates won't be like every crew that attacked before, and to wait and judge them by their actions. I mean frankly that would be irrationally weak self-preservation.

There are people who live peacefully under the flags of Yonkos who protect them, and feel loyalty and gratitude to them for it, but that seems to only be thing with very big name pirates. The East Blue, being the weakest and least populated, has no such plethora of powerful people and resulting turf wars.

So. Nami. Is very clearly implied to have never met any Different pirates before. I'm thinking about what that means. About how every group of pirates she stole from were creepy, dangerous men. How she started going out stealing when she was still a young child. How she didn't have a mother anymore to guide her or comfort her. How Arlong would grab her chin inappropriately, talk about her as a "human female", as property, and god knows what else.

How all the men in Arlong's crew treated her patronizingly, pretending they're all friends, teasing her and playing at respect when really not a single one of them ever stuck up for her or hesitated to accuse her of betrayal. Who were always ready to kill her if she refused to cooperate. Who grabbed her and intimidated her when they felt like it.

That's what she had to come back to after a close call with stealing from other predatory men, instead of the relief of home there was a dark, cramped room filled with endless hours of misery and isolation and blood. Where any one of her captors could barge in and demand new maps, work faster, where did you go, you took too long again this time. Endless threats and incursions.

I'm thinking about that her fight scene in Alabasta, where she tumbles and rips off her cape and uses it to catch her enemy's spikes, before leaping to her feet and running out the back door, all in one moment. How it makes her enemy reconsider her and think, "so the girl's not a total novice at fighting after all." What that implies about her experiences as a young thief. The times she wasn't fast or clever enough and had to fight and claw her way out. Why she always carried a staff and a knife. Why she was the only one before Chopper who had any medical knowledge or experience.

You know she was stitching herself up. And the weapons, how do you think she learned to use those? If any of the Arlong Pirates helped her it wasn't out of kindness and it wasn't gentle.

Then I think about Nojiko, and Bellemere's memory, and the only softness in a hard life. How easily Nami connects to every young woman experiencing hardship that she meets. How completely she dismisses the struggles of men unless they mean something to her and are going through something terrible. The way that Nami only has sympathy for women and children is easily noticeable in-text, but it's also something confirmed in those words by the author. And it's clearly because of the life she lived, the men who had all the power and only abused it, who saw her as nothing but a girl to take advantage of, without anyone aside from her sister clearly knowing and caring about any of it.

Nami clearly isn't bitter, she doesn't think the world owes her recompense, on the contrary she knows she is far from the only person in the world to suffer the things she has suffered. She is endlessly reaching out and kind, but only to those that she isn't sure would get help without her. Certainly, before Luffy, Usopp, and Zoro, no man ever reached out a hand to her without an ulterior motive.

I think when she sees a girl in trouble, a girl biting her lip to hold in a scream of grief, a girl running in the woods away from a monster, a girl captured by pirates, she sees someone who no one is coming for. Who no one will stick up for. A person without allies in a world against her. Whether it's actually true in this case or not, she runs straight for that girl anyways every single time.
