something i genuinely adore about tadc is how painfully flawed everyone in the circus is. and not in a small way

everyone does SOMETHING that negatively impacts the others. but it makes the fact that you are supposed to sympathize with and really connect with them all the more potent. because its easy to want to put a bunch of characters in a bad situation together and to just have them all be nice to each other and everyone and never make mistakes because theres no reason to hurt each other, and most of them dont TRY to, but the way they cope is so, so realistic for each of their personalities, and it doesnt always mesh with the others, and sometimes it exceeds self destructive and Just Hurts Others, Too

they still generally care about each other and the mistakes they make and the ways they end up hurting each other dont lose their weight but like. it doesnt take away from their humanity and the fact that they are all trying so hard to manage in an awful situation

and the characters seem to have sooome sort of understanding of this too. not fully, because the characters dont tend to be 100% communicative, but when they hurt each other, it often makes EVERYONE uncomfortable. because these are the only people they have. these are their friends. and theyre all coping. but it doesnt change how much it affects them (best illustrated by ragathas lines at the start of ep 2 or gangles 'i love her, but after a while it gets kinda hard to tell how genuine shes actually being'). its not all like this, theres a good amnt of variety, but characters knowing this but not really knowing what to do about it is very painful in an effective way

(i think a subtle example of this is how zooble handles gangles situation in ep 4- they were so genuinely trying to help her because they care. but could tell as the day went on that oh, this is not working at all and its making things worse, and they leave gangle alone- something that very genuinely couldve been the moment she abstracted, because of the mask zooble gave her- and we dont get to have a super blatant explanation of zoobles thoughts on it, but they reach a fairly healthy conclusion about it that helps both of them, and i like that a lot, because on paper zooble could be placed at fault but the narrative doesnt dwell on it excessively, because thats not the point. i dont know if that tangent makes sense but i think about it sometimes. i think zooble wasnt 'to blame' but it was still a mistake, which is a hard balance to strike, and having them help at the end feels extremely effective at rounding it off!!!)

but like. in general its complicated balancing making characters in a bad situation act flawed because it can run the risk of seeming like the story is scolding them or blaming them for the situation theyre in, or like youre expected to not sympathize with them despite it (though the inverse also has complications- if characters in a bad situation never mess up, it feels unrealistic and hard to relate to, and can imply that their innocence is why whats happening to them is bad at all), but the show handles it so well

even the characters who are genuinely trying all try in different ways- some of them have similar outlooks or attitudes towards these thing but theres vital differences for ALL of them- sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. in fact some of the more painful mistakes characters have made in the show have come from them so genuinely trying (like the thing i mentioned w zooble, or basically Everything Ragatha Does, or pomnis first attempt at helping gangle, etc), which hits harder than if every mistake characters made had wholly selfish and cruel goals.

i mean, there is a selfishness to many of the characters' actions but imo not in a way thats not warranted. because all of them are in a horrible setting. its uncomfortable to watch characters be selfish. but it is a natural instinct to survive. its not the foundation of most of their actions, but when it is, its uncomfortable but hard to completely disparage them for in a way that makes you feel kinda conflicted

and like. it hurts to be doing your best and for that to make things worse, but its what happens often in the show. because no one in a bad situation is gonna handle it well. by the very nature of trying to survive something is gonna give, but it makes the themes of the show so much more powerful. that making sure the people around you dont feel unloved, cherishing them and finding meaning with others is no less important just because everyone is fucking up. it complicates things, for sure, but it doesnt make those characters exempt fromt this. theres a reason pomni tells gummigoo that she doesnt want "anyone" to feel like theyre nothing, and that kinger doesnt add ANY quallifiers to making sure people feel wanted and loved (not that i think either of them were thinking SUPER super hard, but it conveys smth from the perspective of the narrative

it gets complicated when you add in jax for sure, since i think on the surface he IS the exception to this concept- none of the characters like him, including pomni or kinger. but i think this is something thats gonna be examined further down the line, bc hes the main complicating factor in this reading of the show, but i feel like thats on purpose. hes universally disliked (and so is caine, in a different way) and his actions arent mistakes. they are him coping. the show has made it clear that he can be a complex person AND also a piece of shit. his actions dont detract from the fact that hes a person and the show reminds us of this. so it makes things so messy, but im genuinely super excited to see how the show examines that. where his character goes is, imo, going to be a massive piece of how this show fleshes out this concept

i'm getting towards the end of the skypeia arc, & i'd like to say just how much i adore the way the female strawhats have been treated.

just... every aspect of how the way their characters have been previously contextualized influences the story-line is treated with a masterful amount of consideration. we're given so many layers to both of them that enrich not only their characters specifically, but the arc, and the one piece world as a whole. without nami & robin having their specific skills, and their specific values, without those being built upon, the story would have come to a halt.

you could not have skypeia without nami & robin being who they are as individuals. not just because they never would've gotten there without nami, but also because the way these women think is itself foundational to the machinations of the arc as a whole.

to be totally upfront, if you think any other strawhats were more central to the skypeia arc than nami & robin were you are full-on fucking lying to yourself.

just going to be bitchy on main one last time before making myself go to bed

For real idk why the fuck I'm still bothering with my high effort location/details screenshot compilation posts when I can just make lower effort posts that get SIGNIFICANTLY more notes. Like why the fuck should I even bother to spend at least a couple hours curating screenshots for part 2 of Luis's lab details which will get a maximum of 50 notes when I could just spend like 20 minutes making a few gifs like this and get HUNDREDS of notes

𝖥𝖮𝖱 𝖫𝖮𝖵𝖤, 𝖭𝖮𝖳 𝖣𝖤𝖲𝖳𝖨𝖭𝖸 : an introspection on arthur and merlin.

Once, he polished the armor. Once, he fetched the swords, carried the cloaks, spoke with a glint in his eye that dared Arthur to notice him as more than hands, more than duty. Arthur did notice. Of course he noticed. But he never looked long enough, because kings aren't meant to need the boys who carry their burdens. He called him "idiot." He meant "friend." He called him "servant." He meant "home."

And now? Now, Arthur bleeds onto the forest floor, life slipping through his fingers like riverwater. Merlin holds him like something sacred. Magic glows in his shaking palms, too late, too late, always too late. Arthur gasps, the pain a second heartbeat: “        Why are you doing this? Why are you still behaving like a servant?        ” ( He does not yet realize Merlin has never been a servant. Not to kings. Not to crowns. Only to love. )

Merlin's voice cracks, soft but unshakable: “        I do this because of who you are. Without you, Camelot's nothing.        ” Arthur turns his head, weary, still stubborn: “        There was a time when that was true. Not now. There are many who can fill the crown.        ” But Merlin, oh, Merlin— he sees what Arthur cannot: the king that was never only made by sword and stone, but by laughter, by mercy, by heart. And so he says it, small but absolute: “        There'll never be another like you, Arthur...        ” His voice breaks around it. The truth too large to hold inside.

And then— “        I also do this, because you're my friend, and I don't wanna lose you.        ” There it is: the whole story. Not destiny. Not duty. Not prophecy. Love. And oh, isn’t that the whole damn tragedy?

For years, Merlin bent his back, hid his light, swallowed magic like poison because he believed — he knew — Arthur could be the king the world needed. Not because destiny said so. But because Merlin saw it: kindness stitched into arrogance, mercy hiding behind the sword. He cleaned boots. He endured scorn. He bore loneliness like a second skin. Not for destiny. Not for Albion. Not even for magic. For Arthur. Always, only, Arthur.

Arthur thought love was battlefields, was crowns and vows and victories. He never saw the love in the way Merlin stood behind him, quiet, unmoving, steadfast. Never saw how much devotion it takes to laugh in the face of every order, every punishment, every cruelty the world would throw. It was Merlin who held the kingdom together, threading hope into stone and steel. It was Merlin who loved him without asking for anything back. It was Merlin who knew that to serve someone without chains is the rarest freedom.

Now Arthur sees it all. Finally. When it's almost over. And through the gathering dark, through the failing light, Arthur finds the words he's never dared to speak: “        I want to say something that I've never said to you before... thank you.        ” And Merlin — Merlin who was never waiting for a crown, Merlin who was never waiting for glory — just nods, tears burning, heart splitting open, as the only words that ever mattered finally fall between them.

Arthur will die with Merlin’s hands around him, not in battle, not on a throne, but in the arms of the only person who ever truly saw him and stayed.

If loyalty had a face, it would look like this: mud-streaked, tearstained, unyielding. If love had a name, it would sound like this: a boy whispering in a dying man’s ear, “        I don't wanna lose you.        ” And if magic had a purpose, it was never conquest. It was this. It was always this.

[wof-reworked]

I’ve been thinking, and I think I’m going to change the way I talk about my headcanons and wof writing to something like a rewrite/reworking. I love wof but it’s become really apparent that the way I engage with it is really more as a world to expand and work in vs a book series I’m analyzing as-is. I think it’ll give me the freedom to actually post the stuff I’m thinking and working on bc I don’t have to keep chaining myself to making it work with all the confusing and contradictory canon tidbits that Tui barely remembers she established. Thoughts?
