need more people to get on the serendipity’s embrace train it’s so cute and lovely and i am obsessed with the trope that she’s his first love and he’s her last love like 🥰🥰🥰

[bi-writes]

i find it hilarious that the shit i write 2 minutes before i pass out and fall asleep always gets a fuckton of attention and what i write that takes me 14+ business days just looks cute on my masterlist

[lxkeee]

It's me and my inconsistent writing style against the world

AND ANOTHER THING . Y’know how more modern electronics are wayyy easier to break ??

Like . I’m sure there are many benefits to having a more modern screen, but the fact is Vox could’ve easily designed it to be more sturdy .

But he didn’t, probably to keep up with trends . This is also why I headcanon him to be extremely sickly looking (well that and his heart monitor theming) because it’s like !! He absolutely would hurt himself and his body soley to have a more appealing and ‘modern’ form .

Like Vox may act in control and like a massive bitch but at the end of the day he relies on the masses for his power . It’s shown in “Stayed Gone” when Alastor’s eyes turn into clocks . (Yes I know they’re radio dials but they’re clearly MEANT to look like clocks in the shot) The ticking symbolizes something and the fact that it’s used to scare Vox? He’s definitely scared of people moving on . Of course he changes himself to fit in, of course he tries so hard to keep up his reputation, everything he has depends on it .

He may say “he’s the future” but no future lasts forever and no one is more terrified of it than Vox .

Do you think Alastor’s absence terrified him on some level ? That he too would one day disappear and barely any impact would be made ?

Do you think that’s why he sticks with the Vs beyond a need for their power and resources? A bone deep fear of ending up alone ? Of being completely and truly forgotten ?

I don’t know . Maybe it is a little out of character since we mainly see Vox be mean and a bitch but we have seen quite a bit of evidence to suggest he’s a lot more amiable when the cameras are on .

(HAVE SOOOOO MANY THOUGHTS ON WHAG THIS MEANS FOR HIS OPINIONS AND EMOTIKNS TOWARDS ALASTOR ALSO .)

OHHHHH. DEFINITELY . GUY WHO IS. BITING HIM BITING HIM BITING HIM.

Why you absolutely should bother with watching One Piece in 2022:

Alright I'm going to get straight to the point.

Usually when you ask people “what’s so great about One Piece” the most popular answers will be about the loveable characters, good world building and great foreshadowing.

Which is all very true and I’m here to delve into why, starting with the main character :

Monkey D. Luffy:

I once saw someone describe Luffy as a "pretty simple character that is done right". And I must say that’s the best way to describe him.  His straightforward, curious, extroverted nature is the is the perfect window to explore such a vast interesting world.

Luffy does his own thing, he’s selfish in many ways, his main goal of becoming the king of pirates itself is rooted in selfishness and greed. But he’s still a chill and kind-hearted dude. It just so happens that the selfish things he wants in life are fairly tame things like eating lots of meat and punching those who hurt his friends or innocent people in the face.

And in truth, he’s quite the emotionally intelligent character which is such a charming quality that has landed him allies and friends all over the world.

In short: He’s just goofy and loveable and I like the fact that Oda ditched trying to force a "relatable" protagonist (him not having any internal monologues is a nice touch that fits his character well imo).

And before we move on, I’d like to give an honorable mention to Tanaka Mayumi who is such a wonderful voice actress<3

Next up : World Building and character design

This anime undoubtedly has some of the best world-building that I’ve ever seen.

Which is great because at its core, One Piece is an adventure manga not a battle manga. Sure fights and matchups are important and epic and Haki is one of the coolest power systems out there.

But also watching the heart wrenching relations and back stories of the characters and seeing everything connect and having characters from 400 episodes ago make a comeback and be relevant to the plot in ways you never expected is WHERE IT’S AT.

Oda plays a lot with foreshadowing and he’s very good with continuity and revisiting small details which makes the story a lot more cohesive as a whole.

Watching this show feels like an adventure which is what Oda was going for. It’s so immersive and really plunges you into this fictional world that is so well built and versatile that you will never find yourself bored because each island is a new story. A new adventure.

The character design is also top-notch.

Oda has opened many possibilities for himself with the art style as the cartoony style helps in creating a fantasy world, you get more design freedom when you're not limited to proper proportions and things like that.

And he uses that freedom to create memorable characters but also to integrate parts of their personalities into their designs. Some of my favorite character designs include Sir crocodile, Franky, Kuzan, Doflamingo, Boa Hancock and Baby 5 just to name a few.

Last but not least, The humor :

Okay so humor is subjective. However I can confidently say that no anime has ever made me laugh my guts out the way OP did, the humor is elite and the jokes (especially pre-time skip) hold up even 20+ years later which says a lot.

And I think what plays a big role in that isn’t so much the joke itself but the (often) deadpan and downright hilarious delivery from the talented voice actors.

SO TO RECAP:

Cool mc, watching him punch bad guys is satisfying af.

Great worldbuilding.

Lots of heartwarming moments.

Characters be silly and loveable.

Lots of tiddies. Male AND female.

It has Trafalgar Law in it.

But yeah real talk this show has been a source of comfort for me lately and I believe it has something for everyone (especially if you're a sucker for the found family trope, it does it really well.)

Plus with the manga drawing to an end now would be the perfect time to catch up~

man i gotta get into writing short stories and flash fiction

[byanyan]

it appears to be a 'write a few sentences and then just stare at the draft for several minutes before clicking off to another tab, then coming back to start the process over again' kind of night :/

I’m at this point where I don’t know what to talk about with my sister and I keep trying to think of things but I keep coming up blank. It’s so bad I even had an anxiety dream about going to my own birthday party and embarrassing myself because I couldn’t think of anything to say to anyone. 💀
