I have a distinct air of myself standing amidst such a crowd of people. My eyes set above, looking at the tall building if it bespeaks a promising note. I don’t know how fair is life, All I know is I have a plan to alter the face of it, the way I choose. A purpose, a driving motive, and an obsession.

No but actually I've been really thinking about it and Mihawk just doesn't do shit by halves does he? he's so obsessive.
He doesn't just like red wine it's literally his favorite food
He doesn't just like swords, his is practically his soul made physical. Yoru is so coded in his dna that they literally had to make a replica for his clone.
he isn't just into swordsmanship he literally became the world's best and strongest swordsman
He doesn't just like to duel he's overdone it so much that no one can hold his interest anymore
He didn't just kill marines he was the literal marine hunter.
He doesn't just wait for Zoro at the top he collects every single bounty poster obsessively tracking his rise
He doesn't just let the kids live with him he adopts them, and teaches them how to be stronger. Doesn't let Perona go until he knowns that he can no longer properly guarantee her safety.
He can't just have a garden he has to go full on farmer strawhat and all.
He doesn't just like Shanks he wants to consume him whole he let's the memory of their duel haunt him and even 12 years later he can't fully forgive them. This might be the single most important relationship in his life.
There isn't a moderate bone in his body. He's either making decisions just because or letting them consume him whole.
I bet it's all the Catholicism.
#what are the implications of this for S-Hawk I wonder?#He seems to lowkey already have his competitiveness and haughty attitude#my boy's first words where essentially how dare you capture me. like he wasnt just trying to kill them#But yeah what's up with that you weirdo go see a theraphist#and maybe drink some water we haven't actually seen him consume anything but red wine which is concerning babe#except that one time he angrily ate a rice ball#seriously get help#dracule mihawk#op#hawkeye mihawk#mishanks#shanks#roronoa zoro#one piece#red haired shanks#marine hunter mihawk#goth fam#throwing thoughts to the void#one piece goth family#goth family

i do still occasionally think about that one show
#rick and morty#beth and morty are so similar actually but they both deal with it in completely different ways#morty is desperate for connection and beth wants to eliminate the opponent if u get what i mean#like she doesnt see their mutual dependency on rick as a problem they can bond over and maybe help each other overcome#but rather as a competition that she really fucking needs to win#she gets ricks 'dont take shit lying down' attitude after all !#oohhhh rick and morty the show you wanna focus on beths preexisting family drama instead of slapping a selfcest shaped bandaid on her and-#shoving her to the side ooohhhh!!!! oohhh you hear me sending u telepathic brainwaves oooohhhhhh#the conclusion as always is that rick shouuuullldddd **** *******. obviously#my art

martyn littlewood truly is The Character Ever, he is masks on top of masks on top of masks except for all the times he is stubbornly and violently himself and refuses to compromise on anything ever
#does anyone understand me#maybe i’ll elaborate on this later but like#martyn littlewood never shows his full hand. except for when he doesn’t have a fucking hand to begin with#obligatory hand of the king joke here but like#3L/LL/LimL martyn’s 4d chess backroom dealing schemes vs DL/SL martyns FUCK IT WE BALL FUCK IT WE BALL FUCK IT WE BALL attitude#martyn littlewood is ruthlessly cutthroat and competitive. except for when he needs the girl he’s in love with to like him#(he can’t admit this)#anyway#inthelittlewood#trafficblr#mouse.txt

day 226
team charge got me feeling emotions
#day 226#year 4#AradiaAugust#aradia megido#tavros nitram#homestuck#team charge#bro. aradia cares about tavros so damn much#and i think she genuinely thinks he is very cool for being the type of person he is#like. i think ive said this before but#alternia is a place that by design is meant to harden you to the world and make you ruthless and competitive and aggressive#and the fact that tavros has EVERYTHING screaming at him to be literally anything other than the weenie lil softboy he is#and continues to be like. oh yeah i dont play fucked up alien pokemon for the combat im just out here making friends with my little guys :)#i think aradia parses that attitude as a very Cool Act Of Rebellion given the society in which they live#it explains why she goes to the lengths she does to protect/avenge him against vriska who is just.#the absolute antithesis to all that.#i think aradia probably thinks vriska is a fuckin square. shes boring because she does exactly what society tells her to do all the time.#and not only that but shes out here trying to make tavros the same way. aradias not fuckin having it!#anyway. i have thoughts about the flarpers i think about them a lot

he is like a spoiled kid, and the way the club and teammates keep babying him and throwing shade is crazy..... coming so close winning the ballon is not winning is hard, and I usually feel for the people who usually lose. however, the way he is acting makes it really hard to have sympathy for him. on the contrary, it makes me happy he didn't win. haaland had an exceptional season last year and lost to messi, yet neither him, the club, coach, or teammates showed that level of disrespect whining and throwing shade like buch of kids. the same thing with lewandowsi he had two exceptional seasons that put him so close to winning the ballon d'or. The one where he truly had his best season ever in all his football career, but was robbed when the ceremony was cancelled that year due to covid. The season after was also huge for him, yet he showed no malice or attitude towards messi. This year's ballon d'or really showed rm and it's players true colours such classless club and classless players. no sportsmanship in that place sad to see
⬆️
#facts anon. i agree with everything you said#if you expect to be respected you should also respect others especially in competitive sports. hes not going to win anything with an#attitude like his. okay you dont have particularly congratulate rodri (but it would be nice) but dont run to twitter and cry about it?#every footballer works as hard and a lot of them deserve these awards (as you said haaland lewa etc) but have you ever seen them publicly#show that much disrespect to the player who wins it? no.#that club is reaching new lows#anon

People do not portray Janeway as flirting weird enough in fics bc in canon she's saying shit like "Well be a good little rat and find us the cheese" and goading the guy she likes into arm wrestling with her.
#Janeway: Tuvok there's this guy I think I like and don't judge me but he's a holographic character. He's also married. Now-#Tuvok: [not listening. cold towel on his forehead] I'm gonna f rowup.....#Janeway looooves competition she loves banter she loves gray hair and STRONG IMMEDIATE flirty vibes#she loves doing....quirky?????? weird?? stuff. She loves...like... almost a dick-ish kind of attitude?#'The captain's a bit of a scholar on irish history' yeah of course she is - why not#Honestly Janeway deserves a fair haven boyfriend - deete that damn wife

There is FAR more antisemitism right now than there is racism against Palestinians TRUST ME
Ok
#free palestine#palestine#also it's not a competition yes there is antisemitism and that's awful#but that doesn't mean racism towards Palestinians/Arabs and Islamophobia isn't rampant rn#look at this look how they talk. it's so fucking vile and hateful#so discriminatory and cruel and look at all the upvotes on some#agreeing with them#there are so so so many more if you want more but I'm sure you get it!#also you got the 2 for 1 with that anti black one lol#look at how many call for the deaths of all Palestinians directly and indirectly#when you compare the attitude and intentions on both sides as far as the majority#it's so fucking different#i hate when people make this Jews vs Muslims because it isn't#if you think people aren't being Islamophobic read these in their entirety i guess#it's not hard to find you don't have to look far

Hello hello! It's me again! (That one Anon who requested Lies with Kazui & Yuno, but I've set up my account now so no need to ask anonymously again lol) Thank you for satisfying my previous request, it was such a delight to read. I keep rereading it every now and then and I'm still always left in awe with it like jesus christ you didn't have to go all in on that im sobbing with the 0207 friendship dynamic.
I've also seen your latest post and drabble asks. I'd like to request from the Drabble List#1 - #5 “Idiots. They are all idiots.�� with Es themselves!
Let the prisoners have fun and Es just stares at them nonchalantly, silently judging their idiocy from afar, hell, maybe even let Yuno/Mikoto convince them to join. You can do anything as long as you think it'll fit, they're all just a little silly (minus the fact they're in prison lol).
With all that said, take your time and no rush! I can always wait. Thanks a lot! ...now back to rereading my previous request for the nth time,, i love it so much,, thankyouagain
Ah thank you so much, that means so much!! I'm so glad you liked it, that one was really nice to write :'D And yesss thank you for the request -- this was such a blast to do as well! (though I also made myself emotional over Es' lost childhood, that was less fun ;___;) I debated on several activities within the prison but thought this was plausible and fun for some mid-T1 shenanigans
Es had a job to do. They had many eyes watching them. They had several lives in their hands. They had heavy responsibilities. They didn’t have time for something as silly as ‘video game night’, regardless of the laughter that bubbled up from the common room as they passed by. They were not way tempted to join, regardless of how much fun the group seemed to be having when they peered their head in.
Fuuta had whined that Es had replaced all his requests with completely outdated consoles and games, confirming they had been successful in choosing things without any access to the internet or outside world. Plus, they thought, this gave the older prisoners a fighting chance with some of the games.
Not that they cared whether or not the prisoners had a good time. That wasn’t any concern of theirs. Even in these long periods of rest between their more eventful duties, they must remain focused.
The laughter crescendoed into delighted screaming.
Es figured one more look inside wouldn’t hurt. They were supposed to be keeping an eye on everyone, after all.
The prisoners had gathered various chairs and bedding material, creating makeshift couches. Some piled onto the new seating, some splayed out on the ground, others stood in excitement. The television was so small, the two players needed to lean all the way forward to see.
Mahiru bounced in her seat as Yuno whipped around her remote. Fuuta was demanding Kazui play better, gesturing wildly at the screen. Shidou chucked to himself as the others grew more intense. Haruka kept asking questions about the game, receiving an answer only about half the time.
As the match got closer, Yuno leapt to her feet. She tried to shimmy in front of Kazui and block his view. He stood to prod her out of the way. Muu called foul play, though she said it with a thrill rather than accusation. Fuuta repeated it -- with quite a lot of accusation -- and tried to push Yuno out of the way. Mikoto tried to hold him back, voicing his support of Yuno’s methods.
The others got caught up in the yelling. Amane’s eyes were wide in anticipation. Kotoko pumped her fist as the battle got even closer. The room erupted in movement and shoving and tripping and remote pulling -- until they yanked the tiny television forward.
The thick cord came free, and the screen went black just before a winner was announced. Ten voices chorused their outrage.
Es shook their head. “Idiots. They are all idiots.”
They turned away as the prisoners hurried to set everything up again. They were just about to turn the corner into the panopticon when Yuno’s voice called from behind.
“Hey!” She ran up, taking advantage of their brief pause. “I saw you passing by. Why don’t you come join us?”
Not for the first time, Es wished they had enough height to look down on all the prisoners. “I’m your warden. I’m not some child here to play games with you all.”
She pursed her lips. “I’m not a kid either. But I’m still down for a night to unwind.”
“You’re lucky to have the luxury to relax. I, on the other hand, am busy right now.”
Yuno made a show of looking left, then right, across the empty hallway. “And what exactly are you doing right now?”
“I’m working.”
She frowned. “Uh-huh…”
“I am!” They fumbled for more, coming up blank. They should have known the moment she came skipping over to them that it would be impossible to fool her. There was no need for this routine check of the prison; everyone was gathered in the common room except them. Yuno had known this before uttering a single word.
Her hands fluttered in a dismissive gesture. “Too much work is never good for you. It doesn’t matter how mature you are -- if you get too caught up in your job it’ll drive you to some crazy things.” She smirked. “Just look at Shidou. Or Mikoto!”
“I could look at you…”
Though surprise flickered across her face, she kept grinning. “Exactly! So let’s get you in here.” She tugged on their arm. Prisoners couldn’t physically move Es against their will.
They huffed as they found themselves inching closer and closer to the entryway.
“I suppose I can come and watch,” they muttered, “and still keep an eye on you all.”
“No! No more working!” She managed to get them into the room. “Here, you can take my spot in the next round.”
Kazui looked over. “Who said you were getting the next spot?”
“Oh come on, I was clearly going to win that one.”
“Clearly? I'm pretty sure was seconds away from beating you.”
“Well then, I guess Es can take your spot.”
“Es is playing?” Haruka looked up excitedly.
“I haven’t agreed to anything yet.”
It was as if they hadn’t said anything at all. The others launched into a discussion of who would give their remote to Es? Who would they’d face off against? Were they resetting the bracket they’d begun? Which game would they return to? The ten argued in circles for a while. For a group of murderers, they were insistent on a fair tournament. After breaking up some bickering that could have become physical, Es once again wondered how they ended up watching over a mess like this.
At length the game was chosen, and a rematch was slated for Yuno and Kazui later in the night. To save themself time and sanity, Es went ahead and picked their opponent.
“I’ll play Fuuta.”
He had been the obvious choice: he could supply enough chatter for the both of them, so Es could remain silent. Also, he was guaranteed to win and free them from an obligation to play more than one round. They flashed a look at some of the more observant prisoners, hoping they didn’t tip them off.
However, no one was really watching them too keenly. Mahiru clapped in joy. Yuno beamed. Mikoto shoved a remote into their hands. Haruka started rapidly explaining the rules to them. Shidou directed Es to their seat in the center. Kotoko gave them an encouraging nod. As expected, Fuuta was already deep into trash talk as he sat next to them.
They really were simple-minded people, more focused on this silly game than the fact their warden had just sat amongst them. It was dangerous to let one’s guard down in a place like this, Es reminded themself.
With a little jingle, the match began.
Their fingers flew across the controls. Though they had a rocky start, some sort of muscle memory kicked in. Surely this game had come out before they were born, and there was no way they’d played it regularly. None of that mattered much. Their little avatar was obviously gaining the lead.
Their eyes stayed fixed on the screen as they received slaps on the back and nudges. Their guard's cap was knocked off in the shuffling, but they couldn't risk picking it up. Voices called all around them.
“Aw, don’t just let the kid win!” Mikoto said.
“I’m not!” Fuuta was desperate. “They fucking tricked me! They’re a pro!”
Es felt energy run through their entire body. Their original plan already slipping away, they wondered if they could actually beat Fuuta. It would be fun to see… They leaned forward, holding their breath. The audience continued cheering the pair on. Once again, the room was swept up in shouts.
The match ended. A little banner flashed across the screen to name Es victorious. They jumped up, a small whoop escaping them.
They would’ve melted in shame right then and there, if the sound weren’t already drowned out by the surrounding chaos. The others laughed and shook Es in amazement. Fuuta let out a string of colorful language.
“That was incredible!”
“Holy shit!”
“How’d you do that?”
Es placed the cap back on their head, pulling it over their eyes. “I don’t know. And it doesn’t matter. I’m done for the night.” They tried to pass off the remote, but Mikoto pushed it back into their hands.
“Nuh-uh. I want to see this for myself.” He grabbed the other one from a dejected Fuuta. “Same game. Same characters. Lemme see what you’ve got.”
Es wasn’t meant to play one round, much less get caught up in their ridiculous tournament.
Don’t be an idiot, they told themself.
“Bring it on,” they told Mikoto.

one thing i think yo-kai watch excels at more than pokemon is that like. any yo-kai can be good really. in pokemon there's some pokemon that are just unfortunately not that great (like hoppip. i love hoppip but god it sucks) but like i said, you can really make any yo-kai good with the right attitude, equipment and strategizing.
,,, and yet every post-game team in yo-kai watch still ends up looking the exact same-
#puppy rambles#yo-kai watch#basically every post-game team i see for 3 is like. a bunch of enmas and like. shogunyan or someone#i get it for competitive teams i never played competitive (and probably won't even once pretendo gets yo-kai watch servers)#but i'm sure some yo-kai are worse in competitive than casually due to the various restrictions#i mean. you can theoretically make any pokemon good too but it takes a lot more effort than in yo-kai watch#where it's really just like. put good equipment on them and have the best attitude-#i love pokemon very much still. and i totally have a hoppip (now jumpluff) on my team in crystal despite it sucking ass#but this is one of many areas where yo-kai watch is better#i will not take pokemon disrespect on this post still though. they are both great#just because yo-kai watch excels in a lot of pokemon's weak spots doesn't mean pokemon's bad#don't pit two bad bitches against each other

i know no one is normal about the kavetham content but we need to address alhaitham saying "... do tell" at kaveh's rambling, asking questions, being interested.
and it is something stupid and unimportant, the wine cyno's group was drinking. it doesn't matter, they both know, but he's willing to ignore his book entirely for idle chatter with kaveh. he's asking kaveh to say more, and on top of it all he says it in that lilting, almost teasing way of his. i can't with him and his kaveh simping this scene. they didn't need to animate him looking at kaveh while reading, they didn't need to animate their smiles, they didn't need alhaitham to respond to every single thing kaveh says making it abundantly clear kaveh is way more interesting to him than his book, they didnt need to and YET
#genshin 4.6 spoilers#genshin impact spoilers#genshin spoilers#kavetham#i have so much to say but that's for other posts#like i have essays swimming in my head about their shift in attitude. how much gentler they are.#its almost like the interdarshan competition changed them both.#it's almost like home got a different meaning.#im throwing chairs out of windows im screaming
