Won’t luffy seek vengeance against sakazuki or Blackbeard? If he sees em?

Not that I don’t think he’s not angry at them but I just don’t think the narrative is going to put him in a place where he is fighting either of them soley for revenge.

He might fight Blackbeard to save shanks who knows.

You know what scene always seemed really out of place to me? This one:

Like, it doesn’t make sense here. We had a whole season of angst and anger, and suddenly it’s like we have old Brio back for just this moment. It’s light and comfortable. No animosity, no resentment. Rio tells her he LOVES her new business idea when just the last time he saw her he told her the idea was only good for the “basura.”

Look at her, even she can’t believe it. He’s smiling, walking lightly with a little spring in his step. The man even TWIRLED, he was so happy to be in this empty building with her.

So what suddenly happened to go from this:

To this:

Does Rio seriously need so little from Beth that even at their absolute lowest – before he’s fully healed, before Lucy’s body is fully decomposed, before it would make any sense for him to forgive her… All he needed from her was just a whisper of possibility that she might choose him?

He knew she was skimming. He knew she was cash-heavy. He probably thought the hot tub story was all BS. Hence his swift judgment in calling it trash and laughing at her when she initially brought it to him. But what? He saw she actually got a showroom and it was all real, and he was just so relieved and elated that she wasn’t lying to him that he was ready to throw it all down right then and there?

It’s almost a parallel to what she was doing to Dean. Dean was so desperate to have his wifey back he would believe anything she said. And she told him pretty lies and made him feel “like a man,” making him think she believed in him. When in reality she was setting up a front to keep being shady with her crime husband. Who evidently, like Dean, was so swept up by her commitment to him and his crimey ways, that he got some pep in his step and offered to 🍆 her down in a hot tub. 😂 Even the way they discussed her want for independence was soft and gentle. The way he told her to “next time empty the clip” was almost loving. A little smile on his face. Soft voice, soft eyes. “See you soon, yeah?”

This was also the first time they were really alone together in a vulnerable moment since El Musgo. Rio didn’t bring Mick and we gotta wonder why that is. The only answer is that he wasn’t afraid of her or his feelings for/about her at this moment. He wasn’t afraid to show her a little emotion and he wasn’t worried if she showed him hers. He must have felt chosen here. He must have viewed her new operation as something she set up for them. The same way Dean believed it, Rio believed this to be a fresh start for the two of them.

I keep rewatching this one moment between them and trying to make it make sense. What does everyone else think?

Triple Threat?

I think it’s cute! They’re all silly but serious… They are made for each other!

It's like we all collectively forgot as a society that friendship and just connection in general takes effort. Even if you meet someone you immediately click with, it takes hanging out about 20 times (!) to become friends. And guess what, some of those 20 meetings might be awkward or unimpressive.

We all want to reap the benefits (having a friend circle, having a partner, getting married) without doing the work (going to events, interacting with people, learning to handle conflict maturely, dating). Myself included. If I could, I'd never leave the house or go on another mediocre date again... except, that's part of the process.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, the cure to the loneliness epidemic is touching some grass and building tolerance for tedious in-person interactions.

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

[unholyhymns]

still one of my favorite bits i ever got to commit was pretending not to know who jesus is when a street preacher was evangelizing to me. he was like "do you know who jesus is?" and i had so much time before my next bus and i wanted to know what would happen so i said no. and you know what. he had clearly never been told no to that question before because if i hadn't actually known who jesus was, his baffled and fumbling attempt sure wouldn't have told me. literally reversed the roles. now you get to stand here feeling very uncomfortable and wishing you could be somewhere else because guess what buddy, this is my bus stop, im early (and can catch like five other buses from this exact stop), and im now thoroughly invested in hearing about this mysterious jesus figure. you're locked in here with me. im eating the key as we speak. i will kill us both before i let you out of here.

very highly recommend this bit if you can pull it off and if you have time to kill

PART 4!!

01 02 03 04 05 06

I stg I'm kicking yall in the shins one last time, we're ALMOST done with the angst!

Let me tell you I had this finished(!) twice(!), but no, I had to go back and change it lmao

In my first go the fight scene was much more rough, it was hard for me to draw from the beginning, I'm not really good at this sort of thing. So I took a little break from the comic and when I got back to drawing the last two panels (static ch close ups) they turned out so GOOD and CRISP! I just had to go back and redraw the previous ones. Didn't change the composition back then, just made the drawings less sketchy and fixed minor mistakes. This panel in particular went through bigger fixes, I couldn't get the pose right:

I emphasized the arch in Zoro's back so it's more clear he's hunched over, the head is lower, and the hand on his stomach wasn't looking good, so I switched its direction and I feel it looks more natural now. The whole pose is shifted to the side now, whereas in the previous ones it was more straight up, but I wasn't conveying perspective well.

So after that I had it all exported, loaded into drafts and as I scroll it on my phone I'm like... There should be one more panel where Zoro's getting kicked : | Imma need to change it AGAIN.......

It just didn't flow well. I work on the comic in chunks so I haven't put these panels together before, I always saw them side by side in my main file.

I just didn't like how you go from Zoro getting kicked to him being thrown, it just felt disjointed to me.

So first I looked through the three sole volumes of BNHA that I have at home to maybe understand drawing fight scenes just a little bit better. That's how I got to the new version of Zoro getting kicked so there's more lines showing movement etc. but most importantly you have the kick and Zoro's reaction separate. So now Zoro's face has a bigger closeup, you can see his open eye.

In the previous version it was more distant, the closeup wasn't as big and you couldn't see his expression well. With just the side view you could only see he's in pain but nothing more than that,whereas when you have a full view of his face you can get much more from that. You see where he's looking, you know he's looking at Sanji when he kicks him in the guts.

I guess that's why, in the first version, I was trying to still show his face where he's being thrown off of Sanji bcs I felt the side profile wasn't doing it's job, but at the same time it felt off, like there was less force in the kick bcs his head wasn't following the movement idk. Also he was def too big in the frame. So now Zoro's smaller to emphasize the perspective more, the head is down, the right arm is more to the side and there's more lines, the flame is more aggressive now and bursts into the sides when it comes in contact with Zoro's body to show the impact. I know they could be better still, but this is the best I can do right now and I'm happy with the result!! I'm glad I kept pushing it! These poses were VERY confusing to draw lol

Alsooo, it would make more sense if Sanji threw Zoro in the other direction, over his head like in karate/judo, but I wanted to keep my directions consistent. I had to have Sanji standing back to the carriage, so he doesn't notice the spear being thrown and Zoro facing the carriage so he can get hit from the front, right after he gets up. It's like..... did he not see it? Did he get hit on purpose? You decide lmao

Though I'm probably too rigid with my 'camera', in BNHA you see the action from any and every direction, i guess it adds to the dynamism of it all, also there's just many MANY more panels in manga lmao

Judge giving me major "isn't there somebody you forgot to ask" vibes at the end there lmao I hope you forgot he's even there and this comes as a surprise!
