What I find so funny is that in receiving small glimpses of episodes I haven’t seen, I fully assumed that Kipperlilly Copperkettle was some type of dog-based humanoid? But no, that was Kristen just roasting her to FLITH upon meeting her

Actually it really fucking frustrates me as a disabled person how ‘controversial’ video game accessibility is, how contrived it is to find actually useful accessibility mods for even popular games, how abled gamers try to distance themselves from us because we’re the ones without social lives, who don’t leave the house, who can’t work.

I do kinda wonder, considdering how much Luffy hates being alone... On those first levels of Impel Down, did Luffy stick to Buggy as if they had been glued together, not because he trusted the clown (let alone liked him), but because Luffy hates being alone and being with Buggy meant he wouldn't be alone?

Like think about it, Luffy didn't give a damn when he ran into Buggy, it wasn't a Happy Reunion like it was with Bon-chan

"Oh, it's Buggy" vs "You're alive!!"

And while we know Luffy is at least A Little Stupid, Luffy does have pretty good instincts when it comes to making judgements about people, and he has emotional intelligence when needed So between Luffy not really liking Buggy when they reunited in Impel Down, and Luffy even currently thinking Buggy is a loser, it seems unlikely to me Luffy like, wanted to team up with Buggy when they ran into each other. But Luffy did understand he'd have a hard time getting to the bottom of Impel Down by himself, and he knew Buggy would be mostly harmless in this situation. If anything, the clown could maybe help him along the way, even if only a little. And yeah, at least he wouldn't have to be alone if Buggy came along.

I think that might be why Luffy decided to give the treasure map to Buggy

Like yes, Luffy may have been naïve to think Buggy wouldn't ditch him as soon as he got the map instead of keeping his end of the deal, but also. Maybe for Luffy the risk of getting ditched was a better option than not trying and being alone anyways.

Maybe Luffy chose to give the map to Buggy because of that, so he wouldn't be stuck alone.

Who of them has the biggest girth? As i just learned that it's the source of sexual pleasure 😉

Hahahahahhaha - ah, haha, sorry anon, sorry. I can’t let that stand.

Neither girth nor length are the source of sexual pleasure. Communication and honesty are the keys.

Everyone’s - let say Orgasmic Lock, has a different combination. But while someone might natural be a good “key” for someone, with a little effort we all have a fully functional set of lock picks.

Using those means a little practice and fiddling, and being open to communication and understanding that sometimes the process can be messy and embarrassing.

Now, that out of the way, I think Kid does, but Killer’s a close second. Wire and Heat are a little more slender, but also longer - especially Wire who is just so fucking tall.

A number of people have pointed out that Stede has pulled some good fuckeries in season 2-- retaking the Revenge in s2e3 and getting the crew + Zheng, Auntie, and Jackie back to the Revenge in s2e8.

Stede's been doing wee fuckeries since before he ever saw Ed's theater extravaganza at the beginning of s1e6, though! Tying a gagged DJenks to the dinghy in s1e1 and making him row back to the Navy ship with three coconut-headed dummies was a little fuckery, and it bought the crew enough time to escape.

Stede's improvisational attempt to retake the hostages from Izzy, Ivan, and Fang involves some targeted force (the rock that smacks Ivan in the face). But Stede makes the most of that brief distraction, getting his knife to the face of a much more accomplished fighter.

Add to Stede's quick reaction capitalizing on Izzy's lapse in attention

bluffing (of a sort that's so ridiculous it's plausible it's not bluffing);

the weirdest staredown ever;

testimony from both hostages that Stede is "quite insane" and "has the eyes of a madman";

and willingness to negotiate a compromise.

Stede regains a hostage basically by flummoxing and unsettling his opponents. I think we can call that a fuckery! And the last part of the plan is to run like hell back to the Revenge.

Lord help Stede if anyone in-universe ever figures out that his pattern is "do something deeply weird and then get the hell out of there." But it's worked really well for him and his crew so far!

you ever write up a combination of words you're really proud of at the time bc you think it's vivid but it's actually so atrocious that you remember it eight years later bc it's burned itself into your long-term memory? just me?

One of the things that annoys me about Shadow and Silver's naivety is that Shadow has had like 3-4 games where he naively just gets dragged around by others on pure faith, good or bad, while Silver was only really dragged around by Mephiles, learned not to trust him half way through the game and hadn't been as naive since.

im guessing your angle here is that shadow shows a lot more naivety overall compared to the likes of silver, but fanon in particular paints silver as needlessly naive and ignores shadow's naive traits. i would, perhaps gently, argue that silver's naivety still gets played up more than i care for in official material even today, though i suppose that's to be expected when his debut game wasn't received well and taking cues from that might sound like a bad idea to whoever is in charge of characterizing him. that, and at least i see a lot of people enjoying a kind of carefree silver who showcases naivety in a humorous manner, so it'd make sense for writers to lean into it. then again i don't fuck with supplementary material like the comics much, where silver has more presence than in the games rn, so i wouldn't truly know what's going on out there lol

but yeah i'd like to see people acknowledging shadow's naivety more. not in a way where he gets turned into a baby cinnamon roll or whatever, but as a trait that's a part of his personality as a whole, that might slip through occasionally when he isn't making a conscious effort to suppress or work against it

Hahaha!! Hi there, my loves!! Hope everyone is doing okay. Finished this drawing last week and completely forgot to post it nwn

Indika just beat Hondo and Bane in a game of sabacc and they aren’t very happy to say the least, lmao. All of them having had a few drinks of spotchka also doesn’t help the situation, lol. Hope y’all enjoy. Sorry about the wacky perspective, I’m still kinda new to full illustrations lmao. Im currently practicing a lot to try and improve on that skill, so bear with me!

Sending love and light!

Ya know. I spent most of my life with horrible painful soul-crushing social anxiety.

And after about 25 years of continuous hard work, suddenly, people started pointing out - to my utter bafflement - that I had, in fact, achieved my lifelong dream of being charismatic. I'm 29 now; I feel comfortable in most social situations, and it is a very rare person whom I cannot make laugh.

I am, undoubtedly, finally, charismatic.

But do you know what I found?

I found that now that I have an understanding of which social rules serve which functions -- Now that I have an understanding of just how much damage my awkwardness was doing to people, well,

I found that, actually, my awkwardness never really hurt anyone at all. People were just judgmental dicks to me about it.

Now that I have the skill-level to (most of the time) creatively vocalize what is in my head as soon as I think it and without fear, I can confirm once and for all what I had always suspected:

I was worth talking to when I was quiet.

I was worth talking to when I was awkward, and when the words in my head took time and patience to hear, and when most of my jokes didn't land. I was worth talking to the whole time.

So I just... I hope that if you've ever wondered whether you are worth communicating with, the answer is yes. Absolutely yes. Each of us has a soul worth sharing - and if you and I were talking, I would happily wait for you to speak (or communicate in other ways) without condescending, and I would never shame you for that harmless awkwardness that so many people feel the need to violently stomp out.

You are worth talking to. You just are. And you deserve people who will speak to you with kindness, with patience, and with the basic immutable respect owed to all people.

(I talk about this with some frequency, both on tumblr and in real life. At some point, maybe I'll gather all my thoughts on the matter into one post. At some point, I wrote about my personal experience trying to build my social skill. But I felt the need to say at least a little bit tonight after seeing this other lovely post, and I'm glad I did. It will happen again.)
