There seems to be a level of symbolism being lost in the Tall Sirius debate that I think we need to address because it's A Problem. You don't need to have read the books or watched the movies to hear me out here.
This debate, at its core, isn't pettiness about whose HC is correct or better. It's an issue with gender representation in the way this character is being written over and over again in blatantly misogynistic and often transphobic ways.
Taking any character from any fandom or any original work and making them tiny, defenceless, hysterical, out of control, incapable of independent thought, born only to find love with a Good man, and valuable only for their attractiveness or sexual willingness is misogynistic. These are long-standing, harmful, and very gross tropes used to belittle women-identified and femme people for centuries in Western lit. There are real life consequences to believing these things about women-identified and femme-coded people, even in fiction.
Making that character exist only for the purpose of being sexually desirable to a strong, emotionless, cool-kid bro dude in need of being cared for and fixed and healed - and who is too Good and too smart and too perfect for the fucked up little femme character whose fault it is for making his life harder - is inherently harmful. To everyone.
That relationship dynamic isn't healthy and, frankly, seeing it over and over again scares me and makes me worry for many people in this fandom when they step away from the screen. This is like DD:DNE levels of fucked up but there are no tags for us to avoid it because many people don't see it for what it is.
This is like 1940s rom-com shit. We pick these representations apart all over social media, so why is it okay in this fandom? Writing these things isn't cute or romantic or funny, and it shows that some of us aren't the feminist, queer, and trans allies we proudly say we are.
On top of all of this, taking an already very queer-coded character and writing them with the above tropes while they are trans-coded, gender bending, crossdressing, non-binary, androgynous, and/or otherwise gender non-conforming adds the extra layer of transphobia frosting to an already fucked up cake. It's spray-painting the trans-as-mentally-ill-fetish tag all over this fandom and, as a trans person, it hurts me very deeply to see this. I only read fics recommended to me by friends now because I Cannot Deal with the distress this causes me any longer.
These representations are harmful to everyone regardless of sex, gender, or sexual identity, but especially so for trans, non-binary, intersex, and gender queering folx.
We don't give a shit if Sirius is tall in your HC (even though he is in canon). The problem is that it's a red flag for the rest of this very fucked schemata of woman-, queer-, and trans-bashing that it seems many people aren't seeing or questioning. You can write harmful things even if everyone in the fic is gay for each other.
I don't have much to add to this (I'll let everyone else tear each other apart in the reblogs/replies while I eat a bag of popcorn lmao) except to say that YEAH, short Sirius in fics is now a red flag to me. And it shouldn't be! It didn't have to be this way! But now I don't trust a fic unless it's written by someone I know or it's recommended to me by a trusted mutual.
#imp speaks#chaos night#oh boy i can't wait to see what the reblogs do with this one#for the record I am on OP's side#especially since I know OP#ANYWAY#sirius black defense squad#people i follow have done nothing wrong in their lives of course#because i have already vetted you all

cannot stop thinking about how jealous tye hearts and strawhats must be of each other because like imagine you're a strawhat. your captain is in the middle of a war and sees his brother die in front of him. you and your crewmates are scattered across the globe with no way to reach him. you don't even know if he's still alive until months later when he reappears on the front page of the newspaper with message for you guys. later when you're all reunited with a new alliance on the way, you find out that this weird ass pirate and his crew was there post war. weird ass pirate and his crew patched your captain up. weird ass pirate and his crew was there in your captain's darkest hour and you weren't. it should've been you by his side and it wasn't. and on the hearts side of things, your captain leaves you behind to fight his abuser. he does not let you come with him. you live on a submarine. you've all seen each other at your worst moments. you've seen how much doflamingo scares your captain. you've been working on this plan for fucking years and instead of letting you stand by the man you have chosen to follow he sends you away and instead takes strawhat's crew as backup. you dont even know if he's alive until the news comes out. strawhat luffy and his crew were there as your capatain faced his abuser and you weren't. it should've been you by his side and it wasn't.
#i think the hearts and the strawhats are great friends!!! but i do think they resent each other occasionally#like chopper sanji zoro nami. those people met ace!!! they knew him!!! imagine seeing him die in luffy's arms and know that you cnat#go to your captain!!! you cant hold him and let him break down in your arms. you cant take care of him!!!!#and shachi peng and bepo most especially!!! they've been with law since the beginning!!!!!#imagine knowing that your capt/brother/friend is going to face is abuser and you cant be by his side!!!#and it's not even that you cant be by his side it's that he wont let you!!!! he sends you away and you just have to hope that the#strawhats are taking care of him.#on that note i think the heart pirates have seen each other at their worst. they live on a sub. how many places can you realistically hide?#i feel like everyone has caught law in a panic attack atp. it's a right of passage atp. talk capt out of a panic attack. he'd do it for the#anyway tagging time#trafalgar d water law#monkey d luffy#heart pirates#straw hat pirates#op#trafalgar law

I Feel TFOne Could've Handled This Better...
Hot take but I feel like folks have been really generous with the take that OP was unable to find ~the perfect words~ in the heat of the moment (and thus should be given some grace) when he told D to stand down and "not be like Sentinel"... namely cuz I don't feel that the narrative supports this?
Like-- after all is said and done, OP doesn't reflect on that part of their split. He doesn't have a moment where he seeks validation or voices his regrets over the choice of his words, it's actually cut-and-dry. The narrative (as it stands) supports that OP saw D-16 acting up, so he called him out and stood on business, down to the last scenes where he's basically like "yeah it's a shame but y'all knew I had to do it to 'em."
It didn't have to be much! I'm not saying to absolve Megs, just show OP looking at things from a different perspective/contemplating a bit on that tough choice and the morality of the moment. Some examples of what I wish we had:
B-127 straight up blurting the obvious by later chatting with Orion like, "Wait so you told your best friend that he was acting just as bad as the guy who enslaved us for our entire lives and was torturing him like an hour ago? Oof. Seems kinda harsh." Then have some of OP's regret show on his face.
OP asking Elita-1 after Megs is banished if he did the right thing. Have Elita back his choice up, saying, "You should have seen what he did after you were... gone. It was terrifying. I know it was tough, but you made the right call." OP is grateful for the support, but a conflicted look still flashes across his face before he steels himself to look out towards the horizon... and the future.
Have OP walk past other mechs/former miners who didn't go with the High Guard saying stuff like, "Wish I could've given Sentinel a piece of my mind!" "Yeah, but I'm glad he's gone for good." "Ugh I miss everything." "Oh, it was crazy! Megatron picked him up and then he rrrrriiipped-- oops, hey there, Mr. Optimus... Prime... sir?" And have OP wave hello, looking a bit sick when they leave.
Post-credits scene with Starscream going on and on, asking Megs when they'll be back to teach the upstart Prime a lesson. Megs grabs his face to shut him up. "Patience, Starscream. The Prime thinks I'm no better than Sentinel... but I'll show him. He wants Iacon? He can have it. In the meantime we'll take the rest of the planet! Then I'll come back, crush Prime under my heel, and we'll take Iacon too. Sentinel's reign will barely be a footnote, because I'm about to become Optimus Prime's worst nightmare." The vocal performance would really need to sell this-- like picture Megs saying something like that from a place of anger and hurt, not so much a place of genuine evil or malice.
Basically instead of Orion's assertion being backed up as black and white/good vs bad, I wish we had some different opinions/reactions from the characters sprinkled in there. Like you can't tell me out of allllll the miners who weren't strong enough/willing to go with the High Guard and ended up sticking around that NONE of them were like "eyyo honestly?? Kiiiiinda glad Sentinel is dead. Wish I could have helped, tbh." like come onnnnn...
And you can't even argue that he's not an active threat-- I don't think everyone would see things that way! It's not just about the threat he physically has, but the threat he represents and is very likely to act upon if given the opportunity! He has a proven track record of not only being sneaky and conniving, but also capable of dealing some serious damage/killing people bigger and stronger than him, plus he has the backing of the Quints. All he'd need to do is wriggle his way out of jail and run off to his sponsors, then he'd probably be back to hurt more people! (If the Quints didn't just kill him out of incompetence lmao). There's a lot of "ifs" here, but I think it's a valid argument that not everyone would agree on what is the right or wrong way to handle Sentinel once he was down long enough to, like, do something about him.
I feel the situation needed a bit of nuance. In some way I wish they had kicked the can and had D and Orion bicker while Sentinel escaped, then have D get frustrated enough by the loss of Sentinel to point fingers (and his fusion canon) at Orion, who then falls and becomes OP. (Megs could still show some of thar emotion/remorse right after he does it too.) Not only would this open the door for a sequel, but tbh the Quint might have just killed Sentinel anyways and sought to deal with the miners uprising themselves lol. (Maybe that could have been an after credits scenes too instead of the B-127 bit??)
Would love to see a moment in a sequel where they have a calmer moment after arguing for a bit. Have OP mention how Megs was out of line, that it hurt and even scared him to see him act that way, and Megs can quietly point out "you said I was as bad as Sentinel... is that really how you see me? After everything we went through?"
Then OP can fumble the bag again lmao like "D, I... I'm sorry, that didn't come out right... but you still took things way too far..."
"Why am I not surprised-- your opinion is what matters the most! Maybe that's why you became a Prime, since you're so good at acting like the world revolves around you--!"
*gets interrupted by someone else before another yelling match ensues*
#rambling#transformers one#tf one#tfo#i'll be honest a lot of this stems from how rushed i felt the last like... 3rd of the movie feels#i feel Optimus is so dismissive of Megs!! like basically the whole movie but ESPECIALLY after coming back to life as a Prime???#your best friend is Going Through It. clearing having an Emotional Breakdown.#He drops you. In the moment it mattered most he chose violence... but notice what he says right before that?#Megs says ''I'm done saving you''#Like??? y'all don't wanna delve into that a little more?????#i half expected Optimus to pop up and be like ''excuse me. i wasn't done talking. what Did You Mean By That??''#instead he comes up and IMMEDIATELY has already written off this entire relationship as well.#Megs dropped him. it was a aplit second decision. we see in the movie D leaning into these bad impulses.#Orion is supposed to mature gradually so he's more level-headed by the end. why does that equate to abandoning the friendship??#why does he suddenly wanna drop Megs too? wouldn't this be the time for ''please listen to me'' part 2?#''it doesn't matter who has the matrix. we can make a change for the better! please listen to me'' etc#also minor nitpick but lmao why was OP Talking Like That after becoming Prime?#like he goes from ''haha hey guys hows it goin'' to ''You have used your gifts for Evil and Betrayed the entire planet''#babes what. Cybertron?? we went on a 2 day road trip on foot the fuck you know about Cybertron.#like betrayed Iacon maybe but idk maybe the guys in Tarn would be cool with Megs you dont know! lmao!#if my friend and I had beef and they started talking to me like the queen of england i would literally ask where they got their soapbox.#ohhhh you think you're morally superior? stop speaking for the whole planet lmao!! already named prime and letting it go to his head!!#strange dieties lying in the core of the planet distributing magic baubles that bring you back to life#is no basis for picking a planetary leader#this has been Orion Was Right: The Movie#when i wish there was a bit more.#maybe another 20-30 min would have helped me idk hhhhh#but Megs turn felt sooooo fast... then things just kept escalating from there.#''some transformations are permanent'' sir it's been like 48 hours since y'all learned you lives were a lie.#you *really* don't think Megs could ever cool down and apologize/change his mind?? you too??? tf???

do you ever think about how oda fooled us all with garp's silly little "teehee im not going to capture you im your grandpa after all" routine in water 7 and then this "kill me or ace will die" moment happened and it was the last time luffy and garp ever interacted in over 500 chapters and 14 real life years now. We haven't seen luffy really think about garp or mention him to anyone else since. This could very well end up being their final interaction in the series.
#one piece#monkey d luffy#monkey d garp#one piece spoilers#op spoilers#some people have been saying that with all the SPOILER going on with garp that luffy might help him#but i genuinely dont know how luffy will react tbh#in retrospect it feels like this moment really did sever their relationship#especially since ace uh. did actually die after this.#as dadan said garp chose his job over his family#and that's a choice that luffy could never ever ever understand or accept#i wonder if when we finally get a dragon flashback we'll get a parallel to this moment#like garp and dragon having a knockdown all out brawl over dragon leaving the marines#and dragon punching garp out just like luffy did here

You know, I would love it if we could see Mihawk just. Get slightly fucked up by someone, have his sword stolen and watch him figure out how to fight with some random ass sword instead
I just think. It'd be neat.
Like we kinda know how The World's Greatest Swordsman fights with his itty bitty knife, we know what kind of damage he can do with his iconic Yoru
I just think it'd be fun to see him fight with a regular katana and try to get his stolen sword back or summin' IDK
#Moon posting#Cross Guild#Mihawk#OP Spoilers#OP Meta#IDK something something Cross Guild can't pay for Garp's bounty so Blackbeard's crew goes and attacks them#Kidnaps Crocodile and Buggy to steal their abilities and takes Mihawk as captive to see if he'll join BB or not#Steal his sword in the meantime to give to his crew as a toy to play with or something#I don't know there's something about this scenario that facinates me#Also if Luffy and co went to save Garp from Blackbeard I could imagine a scenario where the crew find CG in the prison#And free them. And could you imagine Mihawk asking Zoro to borrow one of his swords while he goes gets his back or summin#I JUST THINK IT'D BE NEAT#This scenario facinates me. I would love to see it#Especially since we didn't really get to see that much of Zoro and Mihawk interacting so like. It'd be cute#Also like GENERALLY SPEAKING I would just love to see Mihawk in a 1v1 duel with someone OTHER THAN ZORO#(Or Shanks)#I dunno I think Mihawk is just Neat but we barely get to see him Do Things so it'd be so fun to see him Do Things#Break Week is hitting hard. It's been So Many Months and we still have no idea where the CG subplot is going#I can only speculate and make 50 different suggestions for where the story could go from here#(I say ''break week is hitting hard'' on the Friday evening after 1101 was released unofficially)#(This week is gonna be rough y'all lmao)

The thing is that yes, 13 herself is good, but the show as a whole just wasn't great during her run. Something something there's a baby in this dumpster
yeah like i recognise that most ppl just disliked the show even if they liked her but that's like... almost worse to me? coz i rly love her seasons like i hate the big twist as do most ppl but like it's literally doctor who i'm used to bad decisions. but like the episodes themselves are fine? good even?? i mean there's some i think suck ass like rosa or kerblam but a lot of them are like really good??? and it literally just. makes me really sad that ppl put up with 6 seasons of moffat but literally immediately gave up on 13. like it was actually fucking insane to watch how hyped everyone (EVEN non dw fans) was about her turning into a woman and then the fandom just. disappeared. like idk obviously i cant fault anyone for liking/disliking whatever they want but it makes me so fucking sad.. i like her & her era so much and it seems like 99% of people are only willing to acknowledge it even exists when they wanna make a gender joke abt tennant or when it'd look weird to not include 13 so they include her even tho they know nothing about her or completely misinterpret her as a silly goofy friendly #girlie coz people are chronically incapable of engaging w text if it's a woman
#like again i cant. like. fault ppl for not liking it coz like ppl are gonna like what they like you cant force it#but it makes me so fucking sadddd she's everything to me....#we had a long ass convo abt this exact topic last night/this morning w 2 separate ppl so funny timing#but like tldr yeah i get that ppl dont like the episodes it just makes me really sad💔#especially since ppl are always willing to suffer through moffat but somehow not 13 ?? even ppl who hate the moffat era#and like at this point I'd rather ppl leave 13 out of things and say they hate women than see another one of#those character memes where op sorts every doctor into categories and somehow for some mysterious reason always#puts 13 as the fucking idiot dumbass who knows nothing#like it's just painful to me that's my girl and ppl are either unwilling to watch her or misinterpret her so much it becomes misogynistic#i got mail!#doctor who#13th doctor

well I enjoyed the film so much that I completely missed this. honestly idek what to say. I'm so tired
i don't agree with op's opinion on the plot itself but the rest—oof.
#. i wish we could have nice things lmao#. it was so good except for THAT#. like i do remember the bathroom scene but i thought they had broken into some random hotel room#. i just rewatched the scene and it's exactly like the op said#. to me it leaves a very very sour aftertaste#. why a trans woman?? why did they have to mock a trans woman like this. it just feels very deliberate#. it's really blink and you'll miss it especially since the subs are questionable at times but if you know it#. it changes a lot#. I'm so sad.#r watches#green night spoilers#green night#tw transphobia#tw transmysoginy

can we talk about the fact that according to the new sbs it was hajrudin, gerth and goldberg (the new giant warrior pirates) who saved the books of ohara???? who helped ensure that ohara won????? that their legacy and all their hard work lives on????
like holy shit i cannot WAIT for elbaph and if oda doesn’t give me robin interacting with them and thanking them for saving the books then i’ll write it myself!!!!
#like….. in their past members of luffys grand fleet were aiding his crew mates for the future…. i wanna cry#i want robin to know and i want her to be able to thank those who helped carry on oharas will#especially bc up until she met the straw hats robins sole motivating factor for living was carrying on the will of ohara and ensuring it#didn’t die off !!!!! and she never even knew that she didn’t need to this whole time behind the scenes there were already people helping#her with that just GAAAAAH sorry if i don’t make sense im lowkey hungover but going feral over this news#one piece#nico robin#it is technically released but since it’s still early i’ll throw on a spoilers tag#one piece spoilers#op spoilers#in case people don’t want the SBS’ to be spoiled idk

the smoke bomb thing against fatalis will forever be fucking hilarious to me. who would win, God or smoke bomb
#mar.txt#monster hunter#fatalis#for being above human level intelligence youd think smoke bombs wouldn't confuse him like they do But! you'd be wrong apparently LMAO#especially since unless the smoke is VERY strongly scented (always a possibility tbf) then... i dont even entirely get Why its so op on him#like. his eyes are crystals. he barely has any sense of sight and relies on (i assume) primarily scent and sound and/or vibrations#even if the bombs ARE scented youd think he'd still be able to pick up on the sound and whatnot? also the uh. yknow.#weapons hacking away at him#yes i know its just a gameplay mechanic and i'm definitely looking too deep into it but looking Too Deep Into Things is what i Do#and also i just think its hilarious how op the smoke bombs are on him

saw a tweet today that went something along the lines of "early selfshipping was so funny.. like, y'all are drawing your self inserts killing each other because you ship with the same character when you should be mad at the character, they're the slutty one"
and while yeah i considered Slutty F/O™ and got so horny i almost passed out, i also considered. uh.
tw for domestic abuse, implied false accusation of cheating, and suggested masochism under the cut
antis dni, reading this post will obviously make you more violent towards real people than you already are (at least, according to your own logic)
proship/comship/profiction/etc. safe!
(also, for any of you who need to hear this: your f/o would never ACTUALLY cheat on you! they're flattered that they get so much attention from their fanbase, but in reality they love YOU more than anyone else in the whole universe!)
imagine beating your f/o senseless every time you see someone else shipping with them <3333
(bonus points if your f/o likes being beat up :3)
#scary crane rambles#scary crane imagines#proship#proshippers please interact#anti anti#anti-anti#antis dni#proselfship#proselfshipper#proselfshipping#i dont think op of that tweet i mentioned before really understands selfshipping (especially since theyre an anti LMAO)#but i just thought that the idea of beating my f/o every time i saw someone else shipping with him was too good to not post—#also i didnt know whether or not to tag this as mature or not so i just sort of. did anyways#because i dont even want minors interacting with my stuff so what do i even lose actually

#Today's episode was. Okay.#Fun fact I had never watched this episode. Once I started but was interrupted half way through#And like… Nothing reminds me how much I'm here only for two characters as much as watching an entire episode without them. Seriously.#I wish I was joking and I wish it sounded less shallow… But it's true? I'm sorry.#I wish I at least had watched this when I was still positive towards kuniki/dazai but not I'm just ╮(╯_╰)╭#Especially since like. I know intimately how it feels to put your moral code and abstract ideals before your own happiness.#So Kunikida's character only makes me feel miserable more often than not#I'm sorry for being so negative I usually try to use this blog specifically - more than my main - as a place to be positive and enthusiast–#and keep negativity low but this time I'm failing (´;ω;`)#I apologize#I like Aya as a character but I don't really enjoy her role in this episode specifically. There's a lot of tiny things that just bug me.#Literally the best things of the episode for me were the couple of Atsushi frames.#The fleeting and definitely not there daz/atsu in Atsushi always bringing up Dazai.#Atsushi and Akutagawa and ss/kk in the op/ed.#And Dazai messing up with Kunikida was funny I suppose pffttt.#Oh well. Off to Dead Apple we go 🙏🙏🙏#Thank goodness there'll be some ss/kk and Kyouka before three whole episodes of Fifteen arc#random rambles

Crocodile having such an explosive debut in his early 20s and such deep trust issues could also point to him having an even EARLIER start a la Shanks as an apprentice or something to an older pirate and their crew as a child/teenager — doubling down on the humiliation factor from facing off whitebeard as also a failure to “come of age” and broader sense of betrayal in watching eager encouragement fickly turn to “what did you THINK would happen”s like the kid who gets egged on by their peers into doing something dangerous and then immediately abandoned when they hurt themselves
Can't say if he did have like an early start for sure, since we really don't know anything about Crocodile's early childhood
But simply considdering how Oda typically layers backstories, I absolutely agree, I do think it's more than likely he has somekind of pre-Whitebeard trauma, be it either unrelated childhood trauma or early-pirating-life trauma (or something else)
Like the way Oda structures backstories, although we always remember like The Big Life-Changing Tragedy that happens at the end of the flashback, more often than not the flashback already begins with something horrible to indicate the character's already had a rough life
Robin was already alone, abused and rejected by most of Ohara even before the Buster Call Incident (followed by a life of running in fear for decades)
Franky had already been abandoned by his family before he lost Tom and got ran over by a train
Law had already lost his entire family before Doffy killed Rosi
Etc etc. Like not all the flashbacks are entirely like this, especially the East Blue-saga ones, but the backstories have been growing in complexity and structure, adding layers to the tragedies (like 🧅 onions 🧅) as the story has gone on
And with Kuma, his backstory doesn't end at two layers of tragedy. Like there's the early childhood tragedy of slavery, then there's the tragedy of losing his loved one in the most cruel, inhumane way possible, and we know there's at least one more gut-punch of a tragedy coming in the next two chapters to finish it all off
So with Crocodile especially I feel like... Like yes, possibly getting betrayed once in his life and having his dreams crushed by Whitebeard could break the man's psyche. But considdering just how seemingly broken his psyche might be, I do absolutely believe there's more layers here. Like his trust must've been broken more than once for him to end up the way he has.
Which alone gives Crocodad a bit more plausibility in my mind, because being rejected by the person you loved and trusted the most would most certainly break your heart (even if it was understandable why). And that really would make for a fine Final Nail on the Coffin for Crocodile's ability to have faith in others
But to really get that broken trust to be an on-going theme in his life that just happens again and again.... yeah it needs to start earlier
Personally, I think some kind of early childhood trauma would make the most sense, at least to me, not just because it could help Crocodile get started "on the wrong foot", but also because Rough Childhoods is just. A General Theme in One Piece lmao. Of course, it wouldn't be The Key Life-Changing Tragedy (I think Dragon would be that), just a "bad start"
#Moon posting#OP Meta#OP Spoilers#Sir Crocodile#Crocodad#Honestly this is kind of why I ended up becoming fond of the ''Croc is 1/4th merman'' idea#'Cause it really would like. Lay the basic groundwork for what's to come without it being like. IDK too much?#IDK I wrote a whole separate post about that not gonna go over the whole thing again#Other and one more plausible option was that he was just a really queer kid from the start and was bullied to hell and back for it#Dude just wanted to play pirates with the boys and kiss girls and everyone thought he was weird for it because he was a ''girl''#And somehow being called that stung but for reasons he couldn't understand (if Crocodad Real then he didn't Figure It Out until 27)#((Crocodile just seems bisexual as hell to me leave me be))#((I'm entitled to my unfounded bullshit headcanons until Oda gives us canon))#Alternatively if Crocodile WAS Xebec's kid then knowing his dad got ditched by Whitebeard and co would definitely leave An Impression#Especially if he ended up stranded and alone after God Valley#(...Unless... Whitebeard adopted him??? Which would be a very Whitebeard-y thing to do???????????)#((IDK I'm not into the Xebec theory)) ((It's plausible but it just doesn't spark joy for me))#((IDK I would prefer if he just kind of had a ''chill'' childhood kind of like the ASL bros had)) ((Just far lonelier))#((Especially since loneliness is such a key factor in so many characters and why they are the way they are))#((It's just that everyone else was able to find companionship somewhere eventually (be it thru Luffy or otherwise) but Croc didn't))#There's so many options and ideas on what could've happened we could stay here all day#Regardless of what it is- I'm sure Something Happened. Just gotta wait for Oda to tell us what#Asks
