Jingnyan, aka the husband-replacement cat that renheng adopted

Sesame cake and rice dumpling are respectively called renyan and hengnyan btw and this shit has a whole ass au behind it (with a Mafia origin but that's not important)

I STAN jingnyan being the MOST affectionate nyan ever

Ps: this is renheng getting all the cuddles b4 the renheng-nyan invasion..which...doesn't bode very well for them

One Piece means a lot to me as a disabled person, which I think would be pretty surprising to anyone who only has a surface understanding of it. The supposed central theme of "follow your dreams" would be pretty alienating to someone like me, right? It really, really would be, if that's what it was actually about.

However, that ignores that Luffy's dream is to be the most free person in the world. And to attain that goal, the first thing he does is find friends to live life with. Over and over again, from the very beginning, he takes on their burdens, all in the name of being the most free.

Do you see what that would mean to me, as someone who needs more help to get by than is considered culturally normal, to the point that it puts me in a whole socially manufactured category of "other"? Not to mention, because of the infantilization of me due to that category, because of being forced so squarely into the "cared for" role, taking care of other people is deeply meaningful and empowering for me. However, the myths of independence and universal natural ability often make it emotionally difficult for my loved ones to accept that care.

The fear of asking for help, the guilt of being cared for, the weight of someone you loved who could not be as free as you, the insecurity of not contributing enough, the fear that you were born wrong, the self-hatred that says you are not worth the effort, Nami Sanji Zoro Usopp Robin Chopper Ace they all explore the painful obstacles to free connection. Through deeply impactful stories that weave beautifully into the larger one.

All centered around this one person who views loving them and living with them and carrying them as essential to his freedom. Who cannot, for countless reasons, live a normalized life of Structured Relations. Who views exploring and bickering and suffering and laughing with them as the ideal way to live. Who repeatedly puts his life and limbs on the line to do so.

To me, it is an ultimate privilege and freedom to carry other people's burdens. To care for them and live with them. This is central to my whole perspective, and is completely informed by my life experience as a disabled person. I rarely see it reflected back to me. Let alone as powerfully and beautifully as Luffy does.

Nor the other half of it, of wanting to create this life with people in ways that aren't socially normal or approved. Of creating many varied lifelong intimate relations among equals, rather than conforming to the expectation of choosing One Person to live life with and then Creating More.

The utter lack of roles and norms is just as integral and powerful to the exploration of freedom and connection! It is meaningful to me as a queer person, yes, but even this is deeply influenced by my disability. I could never be that One Person, despite everything I have to offer, there is logistically far too much that I cannot do to be someone's equal partner in this society that demands so much from all of us. However, even if I could, I wouldn't want to! It doesn't make any sense to me to only have two people navigate life together on such intimate terms. Can't the demands of society be more comfortably met in a group? Isn't life more fun that way?

We are taught that we can and must do everything ourselves, I just happen to be one of the people that never had a chance to buy into that lie. To learn very early not just the necessity of interdependence, but the joy in it. To learn that it is most comfortably lived with more people involved. To me, close relationships are, love is, a natural extension of that understanding. One Piece celebrates interdependence constantly from the start, while never pretending that it is always easy.

The obstacles to free connection that I mentioned before, they are interspersed throughout the story, and they are always met with "I do the things you can't do, and you do the things I can't do." With, "Of course I can't use swords you dumbass! And I can't cook either! I don't know a damn thing about navigation! And I can't lie!"

These are intentionally impactful moments, and they define the series. I found it very fitting that the Fan Letter focused on a character who was empowered by Nami to feel free and live adventurously despite not being the most physically capable. The character is able by our definition, but the story is very affirming in a disability way, and it was extremely One Piece. I loved how it acknowledged this deep connection between One Piece and the lived reality of disability and celebrated it as integral as it is.

I also believe that absolutely none of this is intentional. It is simply an earnest exploration of human relationships, emotions, and behavior, and it naturally arrives at a radical and disability-affirming viewpoint. Because we are the monkey wrench in the deeply unhealthy (lol) and dominant line of thinking that independence is all. So naturally anything that also disputes that thinking has a disabled-perspective feel to it. The best part is how much it doesn't give a fuck! One Piece is aggressively against conformity in human relationships, in a way that is hard to find in our new world of self-conscious authors.

It's also, you know, the worst part, in terms of all the outrageous bigotry and offensive character design, but god damn it if it doesn't elevate the good parts to unbearable heights. Even the bad character designs can sometimes be more impactful for their intentional "ugliness", when those characters are inevitably taken seriously despite their appearance and the stereotypes they play on, it hits hard every time. I do have a simple hatred for many choices, there is no pay-off for much of the awful problems in numerous character designs and dialogue. But no matter how upset I can be by those things, in the end they can't succeed in pulling me away from One Piece. It's just so crazy and unique and great and terrible and beautiful and I LOVE IT.

"i could fix him" "i could make him worse" i could put him in really uncomfortable situations that are literally normal to everyone else but torture to his unsociable and unaffectionate ass.

Jerry...

Don't "Jerry" me! Your father is a terrible influence on Morty. Just look at them, they're clearly spending too much time together.

What in the shit is that supposed to mean?

[lets-go-banana-fishing]

This type of man is the best type of man

[avnasace]

you ever just realise how damn Cool jing yuan is?

like... this man can canonically wield a sword And a glaive with experience.

he has a gigantic glowing gold lightning Entity in his arsenal, is a cat person, Looks Like That, is both laid back And cocky, but is always humble and lovely to the citizens of the luofu, to the point that they endearingly named him 'the dozing general'.

plus, even if its sad af, he managed to best the Sword Champion of the luofu (His Own Teacher!!!), while also having the (completely valid) AUDACITY to keep the vidyadhara preceptors on a leash for like upwards of 700 years...

also the fact that he tanked attacks from an emanator of destruction, a scion of permanence/vidyadhara high elder, and also his own divine lightning lord at the Same Time and went back to work less than a month later (read: bro needs a few centuries long holiday on the astral express, please and thankyou hoyoverse, make it happen)

The leasing agent we were working with is quite literally an idiot (who pretended to know what he was doing).

He had told us that we needed a co-signer because as entrepreneurs, we don’t make 2.5x every single month. We offered in the beginning to pay the year in full. He said they didn’t allow that. So we asked my Mimi to co-sign and she said yes.

The guy couldn’t figure out how to read her taxes and said he couldn’t use them. We asked Kevin’s parents. They said yes and sent the documents.

Kevin gets to the leasing office today because they say that if we don’t have this done by 5p, the application gets canceled and we lose the money we spent to apply. He works with these 2 other guys after our leasing agent leaves to pick up his kid — the guys are like OH… you can actually qualify on your own very easily because of your savings account balance.

I had my poor Mimi go to the bank for paper statements because she doesn’t know how to log into her account. My mom called her parents’ accountant for the taxes. Like… this IDIOT has no clue what he was talking about and wasted DAYS of our lives “trying to figure out how to make this work”

Anyways — I will stop bitching now. WE GOT THE EPIC APARTMENT 😭💕🙏🏽🤍☺️🙌🏽

We move next week!!!!!!!!!
