I ❤️ you monkey king(s)

[contactlessdrivethru]

there is something unique and deeply special about monkey d luffy as a protagonist. he’s overwhelmingly ADORED by the fandom. he’s consistently the most or at least top 3 most popular characters in the whole series. peoples takes about him are gushingly positive. and that’s… really uncommon.

a LOT of fandoms i’ve witnessed or been in have a tendency to favor characters other than the main character. especially in anime. the main characters are often written as a blank slate for readers/watchers to project onto, but that makes them not as interesting and so they don’t get the fan attention.

but luffy is so far from that. and he’s ALWAYS been this way. we love him so much. he’s the heart of the story and the heart of the fandom in every single way. and i think that speaks to how well-written he is as a character. he’s fun and charming and complex and interesting and he makes us laugh and cry and cheer and hope and love. he’s able to inspire so much joy in people, both in his world but also in this one. and i think that’s really special. i feel so grateful to have found this story that means so much to me, and i’m so grateful that luffy exists.

I'm not much of a shipper when it comes to One Piece, because in my head every Straw Hat is too much in love with the Adventure to have any romantic interest in each other

BUT

When it comes to the live action, I kind of can't get over how Zoro reacts in ep 3 when Luffy steps up on the dinner table telling about his dream and how he's going to be the King of the Pirates. I mean look at him look at his captain

look at him

Who's gonna write me a one piece au where after everything he sees at marineford, koby deserts the marines and joins up with the revolutionaries and helmeppo follows him like a lovestruck puppy

I was at a queer music festival in amsterdam yesterday and I got talking to a guy from lincoln near sheffield, so of course I immediately was like "arctic monkeys!!!" and he went "oh my god I LOVE arctic monkeys! I mean... alex turner??? jesus, he is DIVINE" & then we yelled at each other about how sexy alex is and how we both had a spiritual moment once when we were in a taxi in sheffield and saw the 'red lights indicate doors are secured' sign. we instantly bonded for life ✨️

Me: “oh boy I’m so excited to hear that Black Myth: Wukong will be released soon! I wonder what the news on it is”

The news:

Me: “…can game developers stop being horrible about women for five fucking seconds”

[franeridan]

the only continuity i need from the lupin franchise is for jigen to keep on being the gayest motherfucker alive while still getting more women than any of the bi and het men around him combined

Dopo averne scoperto i componenti durante la prima domenica dell'unboxing, dopo l'estate, oggi finalmente scopriamo le meccaniche di Monkey Palace, il gioco da tavolo nato dalla collaborazione tra Asmodee e Lego. Boardgame che io dovevo avere, data la mia passione per Lego, e che non ho dato nemmeno il tempo a Hirtemis di posare sullo scaffale delle novità, che lo avevo gia portato via!

Più volte Lego è entrata nel mondo dei giochi da tavola con diversi progetti, tra cui ricordo gli Heroica e Creationary (per citare solo una linea ed un gioco), ma è la prima volta che la casa danese fa squadra con un colosso del bord game, Asmodee, per creare qual cosa di nuovo: Monkey Palace!

Monkey Palace è un board game in cui durante i nostri turni dovremo creare delle scale la lunghezza delle quali ci permetterà di ottenere turno dopo turno nuovi mattoncini, con cui costruire altre scale nei turni successivi, insomma è un engine-building! La meccanica ed il game design di Monkey Palace è estremamente solida e al contempo accessibile, riducendo al massimo gli orpelli ma al contempo garantendo al giocatore una varietà di scelte che gli consentono di tenere la partita sempre aperta. L'uso dei mattoncini Lego si integra perfettamente nel game design di Monkey Palace, rendendolo accattivante anche per quelli che non sono soliti adoperare questa tipologia di meccaniche, ma senza però diventare elemento di disturbo.

Monkey Palace per quanto mi riguarda è un esperimento riuscito: la collaborazione di con Asmodee, Dotted, e Lego ha fatto fare a quest'ultima un balzo in avanti nel mondo dei board game riuscendo a realizzare un gioco da tavola attraente non solo per gli appassionati di mattoncini e Afol, ma soddisfacente anche per i giocatori da tavolo che non hanno ma unito due mattoncini passati i 12 anni(brutta gente).

Monkey Palace è un board game per 2-4 giocatori consigliato dai 10 anni in su, per la durata di 48 minuti, prodotto in collaborazione tra Lego e Asmodee tramite il Dotted Games, crato da David Gordon e Tam con le illustrazioni di Ameet e Matthieu Martin.
