@snkts asked: 📜 :D

Logan: I can explain. Ororo: Can you? Logan: If you give me thirty seconds to think of a lie.

I feel like the main reason this evil shanks theory is so prevalent (besides the private meeting the the gorsei which up even I can’t explain) is that his general cheeriness and lackadaisical disposition is more of a presented front, a mask to be slipped on and off at will which would be fine if he weren’t often put in the same boat as Roger and Luffy two people ( for as much as we know about roger) who have no masks at all.

Don’t get me wrong I’m pretty sure that Shanks is a naturally happy, good natured dude but he’s also the most politically minded pirate we have seen on the show (and some of these pirates were actual politicians) like I’m pretty sure Roger is more mature and secretive than Luffy ( makes sense he’s older and has seen more of the world) but with both of them you never get the sense that their silliness is something they are putting on for the direct purpose of making themselves less of a threat. They both can get serious when the situation calls for it but that feels more of an extension of their already established personality more than a hidden personality.

While with shanks it’s undeniable that something changed within him and his goals the day Roger died I don’t know if Roger actually told him something or if he just wasn’t dealing with the abandonment well it was probably a mix of both honestly. But yeah Shanks comes off as a guy with his ear to the ground someone who has schemes on schemes on schemes. he’s someone playing in the long run, kind of like crocodile but not nefarious. And when compared with a straight forward head first always kinda guy like Luffy, like he often is, he can come off a little suspicious.

There’s something that’s a little fake about his cheer, something a little too performative about his optimism and foolishness. I think it’s a mix of; he’s housing a deep sadness, he’s more of a realist that an optimist and also dudes just a pacifist unlike like luffy who loves to brawl ( like luffy knows when it’s better not to fight but he also loves a good fight) and he would rather deescalate a situation than fight it out and sometimes the easiest way to do that is with an air of cluelessness and making yourself seem less of a threat which makes it so much more jarring but effective when he reveals just how big a threat he is. but I can see why people think it’s suspicious.

(Interestingly even when luffy tries to emulate this behavior like when he first encountered Bellamy at the pub his plan is to just not react which while in the same vain is very different than Shanks actively playing the drunken good natured take it on the chin role for the bandits Luffy was still essentially himself he just refused to react while Shanks played a role which made it more terrifying and effective when he stopped)

Also it doesn’t help that until recently he’s largely been missing from the narrative with just a man echoing or a whisper here or there of how powerful he is.

But I think we should remember that Shank’s goal is essentially world peace. and peace, a true lasting peace, is just a little more of a precarious balancing act, than utmost freedom. For freedom you have to destroy the old game, for peace you have to learn to play a new one, hopefully with a bit more kindness injected into the foundation.

Ingo would probably enjoy a date in the restored Community Center, there's a lot to do in the place and another incentive to restore the poor place. But if it's still not yet done you and Ingo watch Chandelure go Junimo hunting while Ingo helps motivate you to finish the Community Center.

The Community Center is one area is interesting track to take but that also means that Thylak will have to figure out the code for the event to play - Like if Community Center complete - play this event and vise versa. Which means 2 possibly events.

I might have to discuss the idea further with him - since uhh Emmet's 8 heart event took like... 2... months.. ish.

(It was a lot of figuring out separate routes etc.)

Plus any code involving Community Center is messy LOL.

But I can definitely see Ingo and the farmer having fun at the community center or Ingo wondering why Chandelure is so drawn to the center.

Honestly the Junimo stuff could be a Chandelure event.... 🤔 Hmmm....

Pokémon Events are later down the line... but definitely something for me to think about.

Why didn’t anyone tell me that Black Adam and Damian have interacted with each other before and the way it was handled was pretty good?

Something kinda funny personally to me like… watching people react to Wind Breaker because like. Sometimes I just like to see what people have to say when they do that. Is like. I have noticed a casual habit of that audience to use the given name of the characters, even if it isn’t the name that the character is usually referred to by other characters for the most part. Sugishita and Kaji getting referred to as Kyotaro and Ren real casual like throws me the hell off, I dunno who the fuck folks are talking about for a hot second.

“Who the fuck is Kyotaro? Why are you calling him that? No one calls him that, he didn’t introduce himself as that. Do you got permission for that bro?”

I don’t know why it’s like. The weirdest thing I can ever fixate on. But at the same time it’s like… a thing that in real life would matter but it’s not real life so it doesn’t but like.

Kaji was introduced formally once and like, everyone’s calling him Kaji, the rolling Rs on the Ren was a good gag but like why are we not continuing the pattern and calling him Kaji? It’s not like we picked up Ren from everyone else. Only permitted if you roll the R every time for the gag. That’s a joke. Obviously.

Was doing research on colours and their meaning in China and I found something interesting.

Red: Indicates good fortune, joy and is the colour for marriage. However, if you write in red it can become a curse.

Black: Is for water, evil, sadness, bad luck, irregularities and illegalities.

White: Everyone should be familiar with this, the Chinese colour for mourning and death that also sometimes symbolises brightness, purity, fulfillness.

Green: family members of prostitutes were forced to wear green hats. It indicates when a partner has been unfaithful (like perhaps you feel cheated out of love you felt you earned, like a certain little goblin.) Green also stands for clean and organic products.

This is just the four Calamities!!!

something about the Ring movies that are so fucking complicated. Analogue horror before analogue horror was a whole YouTube deal. it's like first you gotta watch the dang video tape. then you get a call from someone. if you pick up the phone the voice on the other end tells you you're gonna die in seven days. then for the duration of the rest of your life no one can take photos of you, cause they come out distorted and creepy. which shows you're the barer of the curse. So you have to show someone else the tape to transfer the curse, or get this: the lady that is the deranged daughter of a famous psychic who predicted that a volcano would erupt, who was potentially murdered when the psychiatrist investigating her mother's abilities realized her father may have been of inhuman origin, will climb out of a well to come and get you. And this can only be gleaned from psychic flashes.
