#i've been thinking about this for days

the funniest options for Suo's eye patch imo:

1) his eye underneath is fine but he uses it as a handicap because with two eyes he is an unstoppable force

2) there actually is an ancient demon in there and WBR becomes a magic manga out of nowhere

So, I might've seen it on the starcanwrecked confessions blog, but someone said that Nerdy Prudes "didn't hit as hard" and didn't feel like it fit with Guy and Black Friday because it didn't have that theme of want and I am here to debate that.

Nerdy Prudes Must Die absolutely has a theme of want. Pete's first solo is about how he doesn't want to be a loser anymore, how much better all would be if he was even slightly popular. He's said "I want to be invisible" but really he wants a world where he doesn't have to be invisible to survive. "All my life, I've just wanted a girl to like me" and now he has that. Pete wants a lot of things, things that aren't insane to ask of the world and he's one of the only ones that got them.

Grace doesn't understand her wants and needs and thus results in accidental manslaughter. Something in her wants Max and she's terrified by that because no one ever taught her how to deal with it. In the end, she can't. She can't deal with it and now she wants to enact the word of her god. She wants to punish the pervy dudes of the world.

Richie -much like Pete- just wants to be even slightly popular. He wants friends, he doesn't want to be alone. Yes, he's a slight nihilist, but he doesn't want to be a loser. Along the same lines, all Ruth can talk about is how she wants someone. She wants to be seen, she wants to be touched, she wants the spotlight, she wants eyes on her but it makes her physically ill to be perceived, so she can't have what she wants.

Steph wants to be out of the spotlight. She wants her dad to get off her ass and maybe even treat her like his daughter for once, she wants equity, she wants to keep her friends safe. And, as we all know, she wants Pete. She wants genuine affection, she wants someone that sees her as Steph and not "The Mayor's Daughter". She doesn't want that publicity because she doesn't care about it.

And, of course, Max. He has a god complex, he wants it all. He wants the popularity, the control, the look of fear in the eyes of those he deems inferior. He wants Grace Chasity, he wants what he's told he can't have. He wants to kill those nerdy prudes.

Nerdy Prudes Must Die is entirely about want, it's just not as overt as it is in Guy or Black Friday. The Hatchetfield Series is, ultimately, about greed.

zolu and while they don't care about traditions or someone else's "yes" except each other's, they both choose to ask for each other's hand to avoid any conflict in the future (per Nami's and Usopp's insistance)

Luffy asks Nami first, because he thinks it's only fair she gets to give her okay since it has always been them three, in a way, of course she says yes, even tells him half of Zoro's debt is now forgiven, next, it's Chopper (who's already Zoro's best man, mind you) and between cries of "don't think this makes me happy, you bastard!" and a bunch of "yes, yes, yes" he gives them his okay, then Luffy asks Mihawk and Perona, much to Mihawk's amusement and Perona's annoyance (meaning she's actually touched about it), and it's not much asking as it is announcing it. then he asks Johnny and Yosaku, and he has to wait for like half an hour for them to stop crying and give him their "yes", and when they're in Zoro's home island, he asks Koushirou (and if they're not quick with that visit, it's because Koushirou probably would start telling embarrasing stories about Zoro and how he tried to use like twenty swords to fight when he was a kid) and finally, he asks Kuina, when they go to visit her grave, she's the only one Luffy greets properly, and the only one who's actually asked if she's okay with Luffy marrying Zoro.

Zoro starts with Jinbe, who right away tells him what an honor he thinks it is to be considered someone so important that he's asking him of all people for Luffy's hand, then tells him that shouldn't even be a question, because if it's not Zoro who he marries, then who else? then, he probably asks every single strawhat, more or less, because at the end of the day, it's their captain too, and even if he rather die than ask the shit cook for his opinion on the matter, he knows this is important for them too. everyone says yes (except of course Sanji, who says something along the lines of, "Luffy deserves someone better than a good for nothing mosshead, but if that's what he wants, then sure") next is Sabo, who does an excellent job of scaring Zoro half to death when he straight tells him "no", thank the devil he's only joking, laughs in his face about it amd everything, and even if he tells him there's no one better for Luffy than him, he makes it extremely clear that if he were to do anything to make Luffy even frown, he'd make sure to hunt him down to the ends of the ocean to erase him from existence,

after he's made sure to ask the strawhats and Sabo, he dreads (slightly, anyway) the fact he now only needs to talk with like half of the Grand Line and then with the infamous "Makino" back in Luffy's home island to be finished with the whole thing

The 'you wanna go for the title?' scene is the wildest thing I've ever seen, honestly, because that is the flirty banter of an established couple about to make out against the kitchen counter and even knowing it wasn't going to happen, I half expected it anyways

I'm going to sound like such a Grinch, but if any of you have seen the movie Jingle Jangle (it's on Netflix), I need you to agree with my hot take about it

I have a confession, which is 99.9% of "read less fanfiction and read more Real Books" posts on here come off as overly pretentious and holier-than-thou to me, but like. I don't even read fanfiction. I much prefer writing it to reading it, and I kind of gave up on reading fanfiction years ago after the lack of quality control meant I was closing 95% of fics I opened within like the first two paragraphs so it just kind of stopped being worth it to me.

Meanwhile I read "Real Books" literally daily, across multiple genres, fiction, nonfiction, you name it, I read it.

So I shouldn't even have a horse in this race but god most of these posts have such an Air to them and they annoy me so bad LMAO I wish I could articulate myself better so I could make a Real Post. I guess what it comes down to is I don't personally give a shit what you are reading and I say this as a Real Book Reader. I think anything that inspires you to spend time Not on Social Media is Good (I don't count AO3 as social media)

I firmly believe that Leon would be all for 90s grunge. The hair?? Leather jackets?? Emo behaviour?? Literally anything about his appearance in Vendetta?? that man grew up with Nirvana and Pearl Jam don’t pretend he wouldn’t dress like it

I'm thinking so hard about how sonic is so overconfident in his "things will turn out ok eventually!" mindset while shadow experienced firsthand how things don't always turn out ok, it doesn't matter how hard you try, sometimes you are just powerless to the circumstances of life

No because Snow was so focused on how he expected Katniss to act the way he remembered Lucy Grey to be, that he didn't notice that Katniss was a lot more like Sejanus. They were both victims of their circumstances, they just wanted freedom from the life that was forced upon them. Katniss was never a performer, if anything Peeta was the natural performer out of the two. And it's a fascinating way to look at how he decided to put up the fight with Katniss. He kept expecting her to "drop the act" and do something he could use to discredit her, but she wasn't acting. It really was who she was and that's what makes him lose.
