#and i dont rly have the interest to rewatch them to try and figure out what makes them so beloved n considered masterpieces

[matoitech]

i just dont have strong opinions on ghibli they kinda do their own thing in their own lane to me and i say thats cool and it doesnt like alter or effect my life in any way. my indifference towards a lot of the films ive seen from them (except tales from earthsea bcuz i genuinely hate that movie) is kind of just my explanation for not seeing more of them. i could watch totoro everyone else has seen it but i could also just watch ghost in the shell (1995) again or a movie i havent seen yet that i like really want to watch i dunno

talk to me about ur liam thoughts hello

OF COURSE i need to talk about liam at least once a day or i explode

ive been spending a lot of time trying to like COMPLETELY figure out his personality bc its so subtle (WHICH is certainly at least somewhat intentional) and so far its like. every time i rewatch one i find AANOTHER aspect of his personality i didnt notice

for example this guy does NOT seem confrontational by nature. like many times in s1 when airy is fucking things up liam is like. um no thanks :) . it rly looks like his go-to in stressful situations is to wait things out, and the only reason he starts to deviate from this is bc it v much starts to be clear that this situation is Not smth he can wait out. his interacts w bryce and airy in s2 VERY much come across as like... this is not his usual pace and that alone is a key factor in him being So Extremely Stressed. he wants to get the others out as fast as possible and the fact that thats NOT smth he can simply wait out is NOT helping. hes confrontational as a last resort and a last resort only

(side note that the only times he seems to get verbally pissed off w ppl is when theyre being hypocritical, ignoring key details, etc. thatperson has also mentioned him being very practical? and i think thats accurate. like i think if someone asked him abt the trolley problem hed end up begrudgingly picking to save the group of ppl; he would LOVE if everyone is saved, but i think under stress/extreme conditions he sometimes relies on a very Autism sense of Numerically, What Is The Most Beneficial Outcome?)

im also?? working on a far too indepth essay post (it is currently at 659 words) and like. the post is specifically regarding Why He Acts How He Does In Ep 18, and?? i have to go back over it again to check, but the topic of Him Being Angry is a factor but not the main point so since im tqalking abt his personality rn ill put it here, is that??? he does NOT get mad easily. even when he argues w bryce im p sure its bc bryce has a more emotional response to things than he does (important note, that bryce was very good at talking to oscar while liam wasnt!! despite them often being seen like pessimistic logical person and optimistic emotional person, im pretty sure its the OPPOSITE, it simply looks the other way bc the situation highlights their personalities in a Very Interesting Way) and liam is stressed so he does NOT rly Get It. i dont think hes even angry at bryce half of the time during most of the arguments. liam seems to naturally say many things that could be taken as being rude to say wo them being intended as such and i think that extends to arguing. i think during aarguments he is simply Loud bc "ahhhh people need to LISTEN to me and volume does that" though i need to keep looking into this more so this interpretation of liam is potentially subject to change

Sorry to bother you, but I keep seeing posts about a future Goten AU and I keep getting really curious! However, when I try to find links to anything about it I end up at some abandoned URLs.

SECOND TIME TRYING TO ANSWER THIS CAUSE MY IDIOT ASS FORGOT I HAD ONE TYPED OUT AND CLOSED EVERYTHING :)

some disclaimers im getting most of this from an old draft i had written about the au, i havent watched the specific scenes in dbz and dbs that these are based on in well over 2+ years so i dont remember the timeline of events that well so im sorry if some of it just straight up doesnt make sense lol

this whole thing did start out as an excuse to replace the romantic scenes with mai in dbs with goten actually so the truten themes are pretty significant but that aside future goten is a very good boy with a much different personality and outlook on things… much like how future trunks is compared to his main timeline counterpart :3c the whole thing was developed by me and my gf together and we never rly posted too much about it and the broken links you did end up finding were probably from like the one or two times we did but here u go im glad u asked 

I HOPE THE READ MORE LINK WORKS ON MOBILE IF NOT IM SORRY

the big change is it starts out with chi chi getting pregnant before goku dies of heart disease or whatever in the android saga instead of the cell saga, so even after he dies in that timeline she still has their 2nd son and he grows up in the future timeline with trunks.

when they were kids (like 10-15) goten was stronger than trunks just bc gohan and chi chi were there to teach him just a little bit. trunks and goten sparred a lot though so he was able to keep up but never really passed him. (that part isnt really important but i figured it was a nice detail that made sense)

thats when history of trunks comes into play, and they both get really serious about gohan training them. the scene in the movie where gohan knocks trunks out before flying off and getting killed is the same except now he just knocks out 2 kids instead of 1 i guess. 

i feel i gotta add that this au was created when the future trunks arc in dbs was airing, and mai was introduced as his love interest, and honestly in my opinion the scenes were written really well but i just wasnt digging the fact that before she was granted a younger appearance she was already middle aged, like she was old enough to be his mom if that makes sense. so it really isnt a dig on mai at all cause i love her and id die for her its just the romantic plot that i didnt like. so when that was airing i thought “WELL what if that was someone else” 

she’s still with them though in this timeline and she still has her younger appearance! 

the future timeline is still progressing the same as it did in canon, the androids still wrecked the place and no one was strong enough to do much about it so trunks is still set up with a time machine to meet with the other timeline. goten stays back and does his best to protect everyone while hes gone just in case

some stuff happens in between here but skip ahead to trunks coming back from the trip after the cell games i guess! lots of stuff happened obviously like trunks literally dying, spending years in the time chamber with his dad, meeting a whole gaggle of clowns that he’d only heard stories about, seeing gohan as a preteen. hes got a lot of stuff to share!!! now hes back and he can take care of the androids + cell + and goten can catch up and lifes pretty good over there! 😇

during the rebuilding period goten would spend a lot of time with chi-chi and ox-king and still slept over there occasionally which she really appreciated, and he invited trunks and bulma over there with him frequently.

despite this he wasnt present when she died as no one really expected goku black to wipe out the landscape so far from the city, but she and ox-king died along with more than half of the population. (ugh god im so sorry queen i love you����)

as i said before mai is still here and she’s still the leader of the resistance!

events of future bulmas death is the same as well as mai originally intending to go with trunks when they meet up together in an abandoned building. goten is already there as the three of them rest up a bit and start making their way to capsule corp. goten was planning on staying behind anyways but he wanted to see the two of them off. when goku black interrupts them as they arrive, trunks and goten encourage mai to escape, seeing as she only has a gun and everyone already knows bullets arent gonna work. 

this scene is the same as it was in canon, where trunks tries to rush black but gets beaten quickly. mai trying to buy him time to let him escape is replaced with goten actually fighting him and taking a hit for trunks but getting knocked out as mai did. trunks under extreme stress from already losing his mom today assumes hes dead instantly, (he has dumb bitch disease, he didnt even check for a pulse in canon!🤔) and fires a masenko to escape into capsule on his own 

after trunks pops back in time and black is focused on searching for him, mai sneaks back in to retrieve goten (even though they told her to leave she really just ducked behind some rubble and stayed close, because she wasnt just gonna leave them!)

she takes him back to an underground bunker with other members of earths resistance and when he wakes up she tells him that trunks made it to the time machine and that hes presumably in the other timeline now. 

idk if yall remember it well but i rewatched some of the episodes just for this, and trunks in the main timeline believing goten was killed and mai is alone and he wont be able to get back is so sad. and when he spent that day with gohan and his family and cried thinking about how if black hadn’t have shown up, he couldve had a family too… he doesnt deserve to be this sad 😥

skip to when he’s finally able to get back home with goku and vegeta with him and they make their way to the bunker where he sees mai and goten together! the scene in canon where he rushes over and starts spilling his heart out is the same, with him telling goten he thought he died

they get a really sweet hug moment here when theyre both happy to see the other is still safe and it gives both goku and vegeta some Food For Thought, because goku actually didnt know there was a goten in this timeline, and he doesnt really recognize him at first. vegeta has the idea in his head that this is probably goten.

goten never really had any sort of real attachment to his dad. it makes sense hes never met him, hes only ever really heard about him through others, (his mom, his brother, trunks, and probably bulma has mentioned him as well) so he definitely knows OF him its just that, he doesnt know him. so when he sees the real goku standing there for once a lot of thoughts run though his mind, like, “that looks A LOT like goku black!” “thats definitely my old hairstyle” and “holy shit is that my dad?” but the first thing he actually says out loud is “Holy shit its goku orange” and vegeta really almost loses it because cause any doubt in his mind about this kid being related to kakarot just went right out the window cause only someone related to him would say that

and as you probably know a lot happens after that with them all finding a way to defeat zamasu but i dont want to include all of the rest when you can probably just interpret which scenes were changed  

ANYWAYS now instead of trunks surviving the apocalypse its trunks and goten surviving the apocalypse. thats why its not a really super romantic deal like Who has time for dates when goku black Might possibly be hiding in this abandoned olive garden?? so theyre just very close and privately affectionate

the ending where trunks and mai get to live in a new world with their counterparts is the same except gotens there with them of course, dbs left their ending pretty open 

so that takes care of the story changes, heres some additional details and information on gotens character in this au! 

heres his design, drawn by my girlfriend @ssj2 uwu !! 

he kept his natural hairstyle for a while, but i think he changed it sometime during the rebuilding period after the androids and just let it grow out a bunch. up until then he kept his natural style purely to honor the guy he’s heard so fondly of even if it brought him a lot of mixed feelings when people said he looks just like him. a really distinct feature about his new hairstyle is that the spikes look like horns and i love that a lot !!

and the shawl he wears was the same one chi chi wore 

some personality traits for future goten is that he has a habit of bottling up his negative emotions and has trouble taking care of himself, as hes always more focused on the well being of his loved ones. he can be mischievous and cocky but hes not overconfident (or he hasnt been since gohans death) however in some situations he can be charismatic and assertive which works really well imowhen their timeline is erased and theyre temporarily in the main timeline, goten gets to meet a bunch of people like gohan and his family, chi chi, and even his counterpart 

sorry if this post was messy i wasnt really sure how i wanted to make it look and im kinda bad at dumping information out so if any of its confusing just redirect me to it and ill try again gdjfksjdgsfk 😭❤

hmmm anyways thank u for reading!! its an au we made years ago and we love a lot and i hope u do too! be nice pls!! and send asks about it if you’d like cause its fun to think about!

update i watched the last 2 movies and ooooooh they were so gooooood

ss 1- typical case w the crew from the end of s2 which. caught me off guard bc i forgot they had extra manpower so they didnt replace anyone. it was oddly similar to the first pp movie?? im surprised they left tokyo, it was interesting seeing aomori, ig i knew all of japan was isolated and in peace but everything operates from the capital so like. i didnt expect anywhere else to have anyone. granted it was a nuclear waste facility and nothing else. but it makes me wonder if there are other settlements outside tokyo?? major settlements at least. after s1 i had assumed it was mostly agriculture land n stuff. anyway k back to the eerily similar, so the entire thing at the end ended up being orchestrated by another cyborg that housed a sibyl member, thus sibyl itself, which was exactly like the seanu commander in the pp movie. weird that they would go that route again. the whole plot was rly neat i like when the psb goes places they dont have complete authority in, it rly provides a new perspective. also i like mika now. she seems to have mellowed out a little. 

ss 2- ahhh and now i can see where foreign affairs comes in and takes a member, maybe, they were very vague about all of it. im assuming the new case was concerning bifrost but maybe one of the interconnected cases from s3 had more to do w them, cant remember correctly. it was cool to get info on sugou bc he was such a bg force in s2, even though d3 and d2 got more focus than in s1 sugou wasnt as big as the inspectors of s2 or the other enforcer who ended up dying i think so like. this was cool to see!! i didnt think japan had a military since they had such a heavy isolation policy but ig taking the movie into account its a way to gain territory and expand sibyls reach or thats how im gonna take it. what other reason would there be. why would they aid foreign countries when they are entirely self-sustaining. i rly felt for rin tbh i knew the dropped package was some kind of weapon but i didnt think it was gas. brutal tbh. seeing masaoka again broke my heart also seeing risa again was a nice surprise!! i was scratching my head the entire time trying to figure out if she was a d1 inspector or if kogami was still the inspector. i know akane replaces kogami or at least she fills a slot, but risa is in d2 later on so trying to figure out who is where was uh. hm. granted if kogami was the inspector hed jus go w masaoka so theres that. seeing okinawa was a trip omg!!! at least theres some sort of care facility. the subtitles said ginoza’s mother had youth stress deficiency but i think it meant eustress, which has been mentioned in s1 and s2. its prolly a rly small settlement that only consists of ward patients or smth bc there was no one else around. besides that seeing sugou’s backstory was rly great. 

ss 3- hnnnnnnnn this one was. good. dont know what i expected but that wasnt it. rly cool seeing cultural stuff in tibet even if its future and war-torn tibet. tenjin was adorable i was never able to gauge her age but i wanna say older than 10. maybe like 12. shes rly tall but i wouldnt put her over 15. shes such a good and well written character. seeing kogami again was a trip. the only thing biting me was the entire movie showed him not using lethal force on anyone and yet. at the end he ends up killing someone anyway. granted it was another revenge kill but like it jus hit me that the movie worked up that he wouldnt kill only for him to do so in the end. dunno if the message was ‘if its for good reason’ or ‘in the end itll always turn out like this’ but i think theyre both meek points at best. i rly like all the camaraderie in this one. it doesnt take long for you to get why everyone is so friendly w each other and you dont need it shown thru very much. its jus little scenes that pile up. besides that kogami is jus likeable. seeing him Struggle was jus. :\ like killing someone, actually killing and not sibyl-sanctioned killing w a dominator, rly fucked w him at the end. the essence of makishima is literally haunting him now thats fucked to see. well ig now i know how he joins foreign affairs but not ginoza still!! like the first movie focused on him n mika and yet he wasnt approached or anything at the end so. so. maybe it was setting up that his heart would be swayed to join but in the end he was in the dark abt the director so uhhhhhh hmm. dunno.

all of these were so good im at least rewatching the first ep of s3 now to get a lil more context. ik foreign affairs doesnt come in until the end of the case but tbh this first one is so boring. or at least the least exciting of the three. i would however watch the end of s3 again bc i love the situation type it presents. theres not a name i know of for it, but like the locked in a building n have to disable everything n fight your way thru the levels type deal. i could watch that type of plot for forever. i dont even remember why foreign affairs was involved tbh i think the pathfinders?? had smth to do w it but they were never explained. i thought theyd get explained in the ss but. no.

actually nothing was set up for s3 in the ss movies???? still dont know why akane was locked up. maybe theres extra content i need to see or so. anyway movies were good, think that concludes my psycho pass (re)watch

[ais-n]

Hi! One piece/icos anon here!! Your reply on my OP ask was lovely! Actually to answer the question there, I'm not updated with the manga.. but I'm watching the anime weekly because I like to suffer like that. That show had brought me tears like LEGIT TEARS and ughh, I love it so much I don't know how to describe it.!! 😭 Oh, AND I DO PLAY OPTC!! But i'm a poor pirate so I only do it for free.. I cried when I got Ace btw. And I wanted Law for so long But I still dont have him....

You aren’t crazy far behind then if you’re watching the anime :) The manga’s ahead of the anime, of course, but not by a bajillion arcs. So that’s pretty cool :) ISN’T IT SO FREAKING TOUCHING? This series is ridiculous. I have reread and rewatched it so many times and I still cry in places, or still burst out laughing other places. It’s just so freaking well done. And then the places where it isn’t 100% perfect it’s like, who cares because everything else is so amazing. Nothing will ever 100% be perfect, anyway, because everyone likes different things. 

I love the current arc in the manga…. I’m not sure if the anime is on that arc already or if it’s still in the arc just before it, but either way it all leads together into sort of telling the same story.

OPTC - Oh cool! You should add me! I’m ID 320,084,061. If you haven’t used that function yet and don’t know what to do with my ID, go to the friends button and click “find friends” and then it will let you input my ID. My username is harleton trotters.

OMG NO KIDDING ON ACE T_T Did you get the Ace that everyone got around the Marineford thing a month or two ago? He’s the only Ace I have. I really wish I could get other Aces too T_T There’s one of him at a hot spring which I just think is fucking hilarious XD So I really want him XD

That’s one of the funny things about OPTC–it’s really fun getting the characters, but then the fact they have all these versions of the characters, and the things they say in some of their versions, or the way they look, is so funny.

My friend just got a Mihawk who cracks me up because he sounds like he’s coming onto Shanks XD He’s in this super sexy male model pose and he’s like– wait, let me just show you XD

ORLY MIHAWK. RLY.

I DON’T THINK SHANKS WILL MIND YOUR POWER, MIHAWK. U GON BRING IT TO HIM IN THE BEDROOM OR…?

lolll just kidding but seriously, it’s so hilarious. I know that’s just a line taken from the series, a pretty cool scene in fact that was relatively serious, but when you combine him saying that while specifically addressing Shanks and in his male model post plus also what is he doing with his right hand??? 

It’s just so funny XD Combined, it gives this really amusing totally unintentional other vibe than what the line was from the series XD

(I got way too excited and talked more + included more screenshots so I’m putting this behind a cut for anyone who’s like DO NOT WANT ON DASH)

Anyway – I have Law

Also, I have Giolla (not sure if you have her too) – she’s great to have on the weekends because she doubles the berries earned so if you use her on the treasure cave isle, you get more money. If you don’t have any sort of beli/berry increaser as a captain, if you ever need me to play her on a weekend you can let me know.

You are doing the right thing, even if you have money. You should definitely not spend money XD I mean, I’ve gotten some great characters from using gems I bought, but I also wasted a shit ton of gems. 

Like this latest sugofest, I had 50 gems I’d bought, and I thought at least I’d get some cool marines or something. I got the shittiest pulls!!!! wtf! I only got 2 legit actually good characters out of 11. My friend who started playing the game with me in January (he’s also obsessed with OP and he told me about the game), he’s had way better luck than I have on a lot of his pulls generally. Like he got Fujitora right away, and right away found a Blackbeard friend. I’ve been on the struggle bus for different parts lol But finally I’m getting cool, more powerful characters. Jinbe/Jimbei, Marco, and Namule with a Moby Dick ship are my fucking jam, and then I’ve been cycling the other 2 characters because some big bosses have immunity which renders my beloved Usopp Golden Pound useless, etc.

Anyway point being, this shit is random as fuck, so whether you spend the money or just diligently save up through the free play, you have the same chance for luck as anyone else.

BUT if you haven’t already checked out the optc subreddit and guidebooks, I did find them useful. I don’t really play as a AND SO I MUST BE BEST PLAYER EVER KEEPING ONLY TOP NOTCH CHARACTERS ALWAYS PERFECT TAP TIMING!!!?1/11 sort of person–I like collecting the characters because I love them from One Piece, and it amuses me to see different teams, etc, but I do also like being able to clear content without being annoyed. So I do tend to use my Jinbe/Jimbei team the most, because it works really well with Elephant Gun Luffy as my helper/friend captain. But anyway I don’t know what pirate level you are–if you’re a lower level than me and are trying to figure out if you should power up this or that character or evolve someone or whatever, if I happen to have heard anything about it I can let you know :)

Also, since you play OPTC you’ll get what these mean so check out some of the screenshots I’ve done of things that amused me, whether it’s the animation or the crews XD

Double Luffy, with Law, Corazon, and Brook–that team made me so happy XD Also, Corazon sets himself on fire XD Plus Zoro

I feel like the below team would have had really awkward conversation before they set out…. you’ll know why if you’re through Dressrosa XD

I screenshot this because Calgara looks like he wants to murder and then eat you on his picture lol

Look how cute Perona is when she’s bound:

She’s so much more dramatic than the others lol SAD STORY though I realized that when Marco is bound, his wings/flames go away T_T So sadddddd

btw that’s been my usual crew when I can afford it–EGLuffy, Jinbe, Marco, Namule, Usopp GP, and then I like to have Perona but my Jinbe costs 55 atm so I can’t afford her but HOLY SHIT DUDE I did Smoker + guard point Chopper instead of Usopp/Perona on the Garp isle yesterday, and I still had to spend gems because that fucker kills me so fucking fast, but it was super helpful to have that defense instead of offense on an immunity boss–idk why that hadn’t occurred to me before.

And then this team below has a common theme which I maybe won’t say in case you aren’t far enough in the series to know it but you probably do:

And then!! I was so happy to make this team!!

It’s the mentor/guardian team

Cora would also end up burning the entire fucking building down on accident, you know he would XD

Lastly, I had to share this just because omg Bonnnn I’m so sorryyyyy T___T (He’s so cute XD)

I’ll stop now lol I have a lot more screenshots because I’m A FUCKING NERD but probably everyone’s like CHILL THE FUCK OUT LADY OMG

Oh oh oh I saw some pics I took of my figurines though, in looking through this, so I’ll do a separate post of that in a second because they’re cute XD I got the little tea guys (I wanted the whole crew T_T But I couldn’t get it to order from Japan T_T Crunchyroll told me I ordered it and then it canceled on me T_T) so anyway I only have 3 (Zoro, Nami, Chopper) but they’re really cute on my bigger figurines XD They’re supposed to hang out on a cup but they’re way cuter hanging out on these guys. I’ll do another post to show them!

(If you want other screenshots of my character crews or anything let me know, I just don’t know if it’s that interesting for others lol)
