I have lost a story post that I read not that long ago, if you recognize it can you try to help me find it? It was a story about an adventurer in a cave with a young mimic that tries to help the adventurer. First part was the adventurer's point of view where the mimic becomes a blanket, brings him water, becomes a ladder when he finds the exit and it's too high. But the second part was the mimic's POV and it was BRILLIANT. It was mostly the mimic thinking fear fear fear and trying to become different things, and it at times would say "perfect enough."

This scene with Sanji is one of his most important moments in the series, and in my opinion also one of the most difficult passages in the manga to interpret, because to completely understand it you have to look at the manga holistically rather than this scene by itself.

The big question that needs answered is why does Oda let Zoro "win" here by having him be the sacrifice instead of Sanji. Both are equally willing and both are identified much later on as the Wings of the Pirate King, implying that they have similar importance (although vastly different roles) within the Straw Hat crew.

If we go back to Sanji's introduction on the Baratie, his big flaw was that he lacked the "spear of spirit" to pursue his dream. Since he's been a boy he's wanted to find the All Blue, but even when he had the opportunity to go after that dream he chose to stay on the Baratie out of a feeling of obligation to Zeff. Sanji put the continued existence of the restaurant over his own life, something Luffy rightfully called him out for at the time, and even at the end of the arc had to be pushed away by Zeff and the other chefs before he finally set sail for good.

On Drum, Sanji once again almost died protecting Nami and Luffy during the avalanche, resulting in a broken back that required surgury from Dr. Kureha. Luffy again calls him out (note the English translation here isn't entirely accurate, see here for a breakdown), and with his power there's a good chance Luffy could have gotten them all out of trouble without all the dramatics by Sanji.

Something similar happens on Skypiea, when Sanji puts himself in the way of Enel so that Usopp and Nami can be saved. This case is perhaps more justifiable given the extreme situation they were in, but nonetheless he was still quick to throw his life away.

Then on Enies Lobby Nami--while not criticizing his chivalry--calls out Sanji for simply not running away from Kalifa, instead just accepting that he's going to get the shit beat out of him, and possibly die.

So there's a pattern of self-destructive behavior. Sanji repeatedly puts his life on the line when he doesn't need to in order to preserve the lives and dreams of the people he loves. Even him constantly simping over Nami and Robin falls a little into this category, because if either of them told him to take a long walk off a short pier I have no doubt he'd comply. It's that same extreme willingness to sacrifice anything and everything for the people he cares for that we see in Baby 5, except Sanji was fortunate enough to not be surrounded by people that encourage these worst impulses of self-destructive behavior. As he says here in Thriller Bark, he's just the cook. Luffy can always just find someone else.

(The glory of Whole Cake Island being Sanji realizing, no, Luffy can't, and he won't).

And it is finally on WCI that get to the heart of why Sanji is like this with yet another episode of putting his own dreams and happiness aside for the sake of others, and not until Wano that we finally see him take the first steps toward asking others for help instead of passionately throwing his life away when he doesn’t need to.

When Zoro first offered his head to Kuma, the prominence of his dream was first and foremost. Notice that Sanji never mentions the All Blue. One Piece is a series that places the pursuit of one's own ambition above all else, even if that ambition is selfish. Sanji hasn't yet learned to be selfish, so Zoro knocks him out and ends up being the one to accept Luffy's pain. Sacrifice isn't sacrifice if the person doesn't value what they're giving up, and right now Sanji clearly doesn't value his own life compared to the rest of the crew.

Next chapter Oda will speak through Brook to confirm that Sanji's willingness to give himself up wasn't foolish or stupid. It's just that he's missing a piece of the puzzle, and that's not something he'll have for a long time yet.

Making a dick out of spare parts sounds more like Frankenstein's monster cock

I assume you mean the one I’m going to assemble from the 10% of every penis I take from the penis exchange, right?

Because it almost sounded like you were being a little rude to trans dudes…

why do we fault wasps for their fear? we are unknowable gods, able to end her life in an instant without even realizing. our voices shake her tiny body to the very core, so loud it doesn't even register as a sound but instead as wind. our footsteps threaten her house the same way earthquakes threaten our homes. through her compound eyes, all she sees is a beast with a thousand faces, each with a hungry mouth.

there are millions who wish to eat her young, who are perfectly willing to rip and tear the paper of her hive just for a taste of her little sisters.it's easy to do, it takes no effort to decimate the home she spent her whole life making. who wouldn't try everything in their power to protect their baby sisters? why fault her for trying to save her mom from destruction?

would we fault each other for shooting at an unkillable god, in the hopes it would turn around and leave us alone? would we call our brothers and sisters evil and reprehensible for using violence to scare off something millions of times our size? could you justify using a nuke to deter unknowable gods from other galaxies?

i could.

did you know wasps are the vast majority of native pollinators? did you know honey bees evolved from wasps? did you know most wasps are solitary? did you know she just wants to live her life? did you know wasps invented paper long before us? did you know wasps eat pests? did you know she's terrified of you? did you know wasps can recognize each others faces? did you know they can use logic? did you know there are over one hundred thousand types of wasp? did you know she's more scared of you than you are of her? did you know some plants are reliant on wasps to reproduce? did you know those same wasps are reliant on those plants? did you know without wasps, our crops wouldn't grow? did you know we need wasps?

do they know i love them?

@ anon attempting to police me into unfollowing people because they have problematic beliefs: I am fully capable of reading posts and agreeing or disagreeing with them as I see fit. I am an adult and have been for a while. you don't have to surround yourself with opinions and ideas that you agree with all the time, and you absolutely have no place to tell me what I should believe or agree or disagree with.

following someone is not a ringing endorsement of how they choose to act, what they choose to post, or their own beliefs. if you can't handle other people believing something different from you, and if you see it as a personal threat to your life, it is a sign that you have cultivated an echo chamber for yourself and that you need to branch out. you need to have the capacity to listen to and experience uncomfortable ideas without collapsing into a puddle of fear and panic. if you cannot do this, or refuse to recognize this, you are setting yourself up for a lifetime of misery and paranoia.

you will have no control over me in the same way that I will have no control over the person you named in the ask, which I have deleted. you do not get to dictate what I believe, who I follow, or who I reblog. if this bothers you, then you know where the unfollow and block buttons are. it is not my responsibility to curate your online experience.

I hope this is the last time we have this conversation.

Every time I see a story about someone "dealing with a narcissist" (and it's always them diagnosing that person from their limited interactions with them, never someone diagnosed with NPD) they end up treating that person SO BADLY.

It's okay to be cruel to that person, though! You decided they're a narcissist, so why not? If they developed NPD, this automatically makes them a fair target. Because the brains they have determine if they deserve basic human decency. Not their actions. You'll preemptively be hurtful because you decided they're a danger without them even doing anything.

How is this fair? Why should people with NPD deserve to be treated badly without doing anything to you.

And even when they aren't outwardly cruel. There's this dehumanizing attitude. Like, I block these people on sight, so for this one I didn't see much past the beginning, but one of the recent videos I saw started with a kind of "I realized he's a narcissist before the date, but I was curious about how he'll answer these questions everyone online tells us to ask narcissists. So I went on that date, here's how it went!"

It's like you're inspecting a specimen, doing a study, just to find whatever negatives you can about this stranger and use those negatives to further stigmatize a disorder.

I said before "you don't get to diagnose someone for hurting you" but he didn't even hurt her. She literally gave him a whole diagnosis based on VIBES.

Using tags like "NPD awareness" - people with NPD should be the ones using tags like that! Awareness campaigns are to help the group at the center, not to warn you of their existence!

So many of these people call themselves empaths too and I'm already so wary of empaths.

I'm so tired.
