the great irony of early one piece antagonists believing zoro was the actual captain and using luffy as a puppet ... oda really threw us a bone and curb-stomped it right in our faces. yes, zoro could be a captain in his own right. yes, zoro could match luffy in strength. yes, zoro knows this perfectly well. and you know what? he chose luffy two years ago, and he will continue to choose luffy again and again. roronoa zoro, the pirate hunter, who followed a wannabe pirate with a nonexistent crew on a whim because luffy brought him his swords and made a half-assed attempt at a bargain. zoro, who made a vow to never lose again on both his and luffy's honor. zoro, who told luffy he'd make him commit harakiri if he got in the way of zoro's goal, only to turn around and be willing to sacrifice his dream if it means that luffy reaches his. zoro, who stood in place and took luffy's pain and told a warlord to take his head instead of luffy's, who got down on his knees before his supposed rival and begged mihawk to mentor him so that he could return strong enough to protect his captain. zoro, who has conqueror's haki- a natural born leader- but chooses to stay at the right hand of a man he has deemed greater than himself.
and the thing that luffy fears most? being alone. being rejected. being left behind. and what should have been his foil- the pirate hunter to his pirate king, the nonbeliever to his divine, the king of hell to his sun god- instead becomes his first and most devout follower; the one who demands to follow him to hell and back. oughhhggg i'm sick to my stomach

Anti-intellectuals are always making up a cinephile that can’t shut up about some supposedly inaccessible experimental films that can only be viewed once every ten years at a specific theater in Toronto meanwhile the Criterion Channel and I are both trying to get people to watch Cocktail (1988)

If Eon is Ben do you think there's an eon universe version of Rook who is also evil? Do you think Eon had an evil husband? I just want to see an evil benrook variant out there in the universe, just two evil husband's seeking to destroy the world

One thing which scares me about the Veilguard is that I see potential in Lucanis ending up as my romance choice, just because of similiarities between what we know of him and how I picture my Rook, but as someone who knows ropes around Dragon Age fandom, going for fandom favored golden boy™ will most likely end up ruining him for me... Especially if I choose to romance him with "lesser" race like dwarf or qunari.
Yes I have romanced Alistair in DAO and yes I have been victim of "You can't romance Alistair because I romance Alistair and that upsets my Cousland to see him with other wardens" debacle. Yes it was a thing.
Yes I have went for Anders only for Fenhawke fans to say me I chose a terrorist, and yes I romanced Fenris, just for Handers fans to say to me I support mage genocide...
Yes I have modded my game to go after Cullen as Qunari, just to be told I and my qunari give people and ick, because I should have made Lavellan or Trevelyan as Andraste apparently intended.
And now that we know Lucanis can be romanced by everyone no matter the race or gender, but him still already becoming golden boy™ of the fandom... Idk if I will have the patience for new wave of flak coming from the fandom directed at me and my unpopular ship choice.

reading this article about how climate change denialism is a way to express a hypermasculine anxiety to protect the continued western usage of fossil fuels, a “petro-masculinity” tied to the violent act of burning oil and gas as an expression of USAmerican sovereignty

Vacation gave me time to experiment and use recipes I've been wanting to make and try, and today I went with, of course, Legends Arceus staple-
Potato mochi!
Its actually really REALLY good and easier than I thought it was to make, and now I can make these as a filling side to my work lunches when I go back! Just imagining making iddy bitty bite sized mini ones would be so goooooood ;w;
When I was initially forming the shape with and without cheese, i found wetting my hands a little helped the potato forming easier and helped smooth the rounded shape more without them cracking and splitting as much. I had used mozzarella cheese for half of them to experiment with and while they were hella good, those ones did fall apart more than I'd like, but its melted cheese inside I should have guessed. I could have cooked mine a bit longer to make them more solidly crispy but the cheese made it spit in the pan a lot when one broke but even with a lighter fry it still is good to have a crunch too. The sauce is also very easy and simple, but instead of the white sugar it calls for I swapped it with brown sugar and I think it made the sauce more rich and helped it caramelize better so it made a more sticky sauce to go on the mochi. The seaweed paper is optional if you wanna handle them by hand with less mess, so if ya dont have nori in your area its not super important! I did find my sheets at a walmart!
A 10/10 simple recipe that can be messed with to make more diverse flavorful combos and give a twist on potato recipes! No wonder the Galaxy team eats these and practically nothing else, go try it out yourselves if you have the time to do so! XD
**Hyperlinks not working heres the video instead XD
You can follow it to a T but you can 'follow with your heart' so to speak

⚠️ slightly flashing gifs under the cut
gifs from an upcoming animation i’m workin on, featuring the Iambic Pentameter crew (chonny jash but rainworld). these mostly consist of MND being apathetic and scary, but he’s a real sweetiepie when you get to know him :]
This is during a period in MND’s story when he is apathetic towards everyone and everything. this shadowy form is a personification of HRT’s fear and dehumanization of him…aswell as being the last thing HRT ever saw…
