When it comes to fishman Island, it seems to get similar treatment to thriller bark, with people generally saying they disliked it. Which again, I will never understand. So let’s talk about why I love it instead

The very start of the arc brings us to a world of wonder under the sea. Oda draws sea creatures masterfully, giving them the right sense of scale, and it all turns our introduction to this place all the more magical. The coated Sunny looks amazing. We also get to see Camie again, who is always a joy to see

The jokes in Fishman are absolutely top tier, whether it’s Camie’s faces, random background characters or Shirahoshi’s and Luffy’s dynamic, it’s all good fun. My only criticism of the comedy in this arc is Sanji, cause good god is he insufferable a lot of the time to a point I don’t think we’ve seen yet

I also find it hilarious that when the Straw Hats are believed to be trying to destroy Fishman Island, they don’t really have too much trouble defeating the palace guards and King Neptune himself. As an addition it shows how strong the crew has gotten since they got separated

And now enter Hody Jones, the main villain of the arc. There are clear parallels to be drawn between Arlong and him, as well as the influence he had on Hody, which will be even more highlighted as the arc goes on. I do find it interesting how their belief of fishmen being naturally stronger than humans under all circumstances gets disproven once again, with Zoro managing to strike Hody underwater

Jinbei gets brought back, as we have been told he will, and I adore this whale shark guy, like I’ve already said. He’s really funny when he needs to be, but also incredibly serious when the story scratches the comedy to a halt, similarly to how he was portrayed at the beginning of Impel Down. The scene where he tells Nami that he let Arlong out into the East Blue always strikes me

And with Jinbei’s story, we learn of Fisher Tiger. The fishman who freed the slaves from Marijoa that was mentioned already in Amazon Lily. And while his story will progress more, the biggest turning point of it is him taking Koala, a little human girl, saved from the life of a slave, on board. Koala is severely traumatised, and while Tiger isn’t exactly nice to her, he gives her the biggest kindness he could, getting rid of her slave mark and promising her he’ll take her home

yknow im probably going to sound a bit overdramatic for a moment with this sorry but,

ive said like two lore streams ago or w/e that im not going to let myself get as heated as i did at the start with how gun's been handling ( read : forgetting she exists ) maria all this time bc at this point i consider my portrayal of her an oc, as i essentially feel across the board with my other texas muses frankly but like.

i do think, while i was obviously thrilled to no end that they announced maria & she was playable etc, i do think the execution of her in-game really sincerely disappointed and pissed me off so badly. like yes end of the day shes a bunch of pixels etc etc whatever sure but its like. genuine frustration at how absolutely sidelined she has been since day one. and i know theres plenty of valid arguments for other characters receiving similar treatment ( ie. sonny ) in a variety of ways, and i do get the angle of maria initially serving as a haunting of the narrative, haunting her friends and sister and being more of that sort of invisible presence rather than physically there in the moment like they all are - but its severely disappointing to see just how little they give a shit about her, both in lore & in gameplay etc.

model-wise? shes completely fine i adore how she looks and everything shes beautiful shes adorable shes exactly as babygirl as i hoped and imagined her to be & look. but shes otherwise both so underwhelming and so borderline useless ( being generous ) and her ability is just the most uncreative pointless thing i feel they could have thought to give her. like. theres so many pieces i can rip apart for just that alone but i dont wanna yap for an eternity lmao

i just wish they gave an ounce of a shit about her. and like sure yes they could easily alter things or add on things on for her in the future etc. sure, yeah, fine and all but its just... i dont think im going to forget how sloppily put together they made her. or how they've consistently forgotten & disrespected her all these months. and with them branching away from her & the friendgroups' story into other victims' as time passes, their already sheer-ass attention spans are only going to grow thinner across the rosters and i guess in my eyes theyre just never going to make up for any of how they treated her character. and like yes thats fine bc i & others will do her infinitely better justice than they ever will but its still just like... its still disappointing.

like so much went wrong with that release day that i think i was just trying to cling onto the excitement of her just being playable but everything else, certain other complaints etc i wont get into, made me think that disappointment in how she was executed was an exaggeration on my part bc im too attached to her lmao and so i kinda just internalized the disappointment i think but it really is just like man. i feel like ive lowkey been in mourning of her since she was released. no faith at all that they are ever going to give her an ounce of dignity outside of how her model looks.

and again. i know i and the fandom do her infinitely more justice than they ever will at this point and that fact alone does make up for this all, i just wish she was remotely fun to play as and didnt feel like such a slapped together, zero-thought, near copy-paste non-asset in-game. i play her bc i love her but she also just makes me fucking sad LMAO

Heartbreaking: person you like doesn’t like Gale Dekarios because he’s “annoying” and “doesn’t have as ‘traumatic’ or interesting of a story” and “doesn’t have that much bearing on the story” (cough cough that damn vampire too, but sure Gale has “nothing” going on.) oh you don’t like Lae’zel? Who could’ve guessed that…?

Also I don’t think 90% of people know what infodumping actually is. And besides anytime I hear it y’all just sound like dicks. “He’s infodumping” go make actual friends that don’t shop on shien and call literally anything tmi. I’m putting “infodumping” on the shelf until you learn how to enjoy a game that isn’t all killing things or action 24/7.

This is a collection of little Dear Evan Hansen sketches based on the song Polly Screw My Head Back On by Ball Park Music! I love this song so much, I’ve been listening to it a lot lately. Puddinghead is my favourite ballpark album, I totally recommend checking it out.
