I’m sorry who the fuck cast this guy as Kirk

Had they ever seen TOS

Had they ever seen a screen grab from TOS

Had they ever heard mention of Captain Kirk

Had they seen a photo of Bill Shatner in his youth

Who the fuck thought that this limp handkerchief

Could pass for this man?

Love your art so much. Will you show us cool nature pics from your country? I'm literally so stoned I forgot where you live sorry.

Sure anon, why not. I'm not a photographer so the quality of these is kind of slushy at best. I like nature and wander around a little bit, but I rarely hike properly, so I don't go to that many scenic places. These are mostly from regular walks. Long post warning.

Summers are short but very green, and since we're at the arctic circle we get sunlight around the clock. Some of these were taken at midnight or early morning small hours. Most of Finland is very sparsely populated and covered in boreal forests.

Finland is a very watery country, lots of lakes in particular.

Sometimes you get intense sunsets

And winters are very cold, snowy and last about six months. In summer we have midnight sun and in winter there's the polar night to counter it. Around late December sun only rises for about two hours per day where I live so it's very dark for many, many weeks on end (which is wonderful if you get seasonal depression like I do). But sometimes the weather and lighting are just right and you get this ethereal pastel effect that I love.

There's just something about Will Shaw- beaten black and blue that gets me EVERY TIME!

Bruce definitely runs covert tests for brain damage on all the Batkids, an effort complicated by his own frequent head traumas and the fact that they're all nocturnal liars who quickly come up with ways to work around possible symptoms.

You know, for the slightly personal vendetta I have against Teach for various crimes (primarily ensuring I will never have more than a handful of clips and frames of Thatch to fawn over and the entirety of Marineford), I can't help but wonder about his motivation.

And feel kind of bad for him.

Canonically, he never sleeps.

Like, ever.

And that just makes me wonder how thoroughly he has to lie to himself about how he grew up. Like, it couldn't have been totally pleasant on a pirate ship. God knows Shanks is an alcoholic and Buggy is... Himself because of the few years they sailed with Roger.

But there's also no denying how much Whitebeard's crew cared about each other.

Was it the fact that he could never be at the top with his adopted family? With so many brothers and sisters, he's almost certainly not anyone's favorite.

He seems ambitious but lacking in some ethereal, key thing. Perhaps it's his duplicity that ultimately means he could never be Pirate King in any real sense. A title like that demands pride and an upfront declaration of self.

(we're not touching the multiple personality allegations for now)

And the symbol. Three heads.

Even when he struck out on his own, he couldn't seem to imagine actually being alone. And that's kind of curious, actually.

For someone so determined to cheat and steal his way to the top, to stand out amongst the rabble as Pirate King, he chooses to identify as one of many.

What does he fill his time with, now that he's thrown away so much in pursuit of power? Dreaming is such a big theme in One Piece, so for a man literally incapable of this, what does he have?

What does Teach tell himself late at night when everyone else is asleep. When the world is quiet save the waves lapping at his ship.

Does he laugh at Thatch's betrayed ghost? Chuckle at the ridiculous way Ace threw away his life rather than ally with Teach?

Or did that get old--if he ever did it to start with.

Does he feel Whitebeard's disapproving eyes on his back when the stars go dark. That disgusted tone informing him with absolute certainty that he'll never be Pirate King.

That everything he's ever done was for nothing. Less than nothing.

Blood so thick on his hands the ultimate prize will just slip off his fingertips, no matter how desperate he gets.

If Teach can't even escape his worst parts through dreams, does he even understand their weight anymore? Or does he only know that the taste of want never leaves his tongue

Wet gasps on an abandoned deck.

Soft clattering of slick beads on cobblestone.

Late night parties fallen into silence.

A snowstorm raging all around him.

Condemnation from the only man he ever called father.

Do you regret, Marshal D. Teach?

Can you even feel it?

Or are the nights just long stretches of darkness with hollow ripples on the ocean?
