“In Mount Huaguo, a day unlike any other unfolded. The Mandrill Chief was leaping through the mountains when she suddenly saw the celestial stone on the mountaintop explode, producing a stone egg. As the wind blew over it, the stone egg transformed into a stone monkey. The Mandrill Chief approached to observe, and the stone monkey began to mimic, learning to crawl and walk.”

I may be the only one, but the dysfunctional family dynamics of Sengoku, Rosinante, Drake, and Law live in my head rent free.

All four of them are undeniably tied to one single night on Minion Island, and that one event changed all their lives.

I want more of them and their interactions, but if Oda doesn’t provide, I’ll make it up myself. (See below)

Sengoku - Rosinante: this dynamic is pretty fleshed out; it’s clear Rosinante respected Sengoku (while sticking to his morals) and it’s clear Sengoku loved Rosinante like a son; we even get a moment of Sengoku grieving Rosinante, plus his decision to let Law escape in Dressrosa was purely out of respect to Rosinante

Rosinante - Law: this is the most fleshed-out dynamic, very clearly father/son; Law gets a whole revenge arc, and Rosinante gets a tear-jerking send off; their entire dynamic is right there on the page/screen

Rosinante - Drake: if they met, it was for a very brief time while Rosinante was beating up Diez Barrels; however, this dynamic is all about the shadow Rosinante left that Drake must live in, trying to be the best Marine not only because of his father but because of the example Rosinante set and Sengoku expects; Drake (perhaps intentionally or even just subconsciously) even follows Rosinante into a life of Marine spy work and into dangerous situations; it’s a dynamic of ghosts and silent shadows and how living among them influenced Drake and his relationships with those who knew Rosinante in full life

Sengoku - Drake: there’s literally nothing about them except the fact that Sengoku adopted Drake, that’s it; this lack of interaction could indicate a strained relationship; Sengoku most likely only took Drake in because he assumed he was the boy Rosinante had been trying to save (and the revelation that that wasn’t true must have been earth-shattering); Sengoku seems content to let Drake do his own thing and is largely uninvolved (he has no contact with Drake or SWORD, though he was directly overseeing Rosinante’s mission); it seems Drake was an impulse adoption and then a forgotten, second son who, despite mirroring the first son, doesn’t measure up to the first in Sengoku’s mind

Law - Sengoku: Sengoku believes that anyone relating to pirates or piracy should face justice (look at what he did Ace just because of his parentage), but he did let Law go, only because of Rosinante; Law seems unconcerned or just ambivalent to the fact his adoptive grandfather used to be the fleet admiral; they’re interacted once and parted in peace, so they would probably get along but prefer not to associate with one another

Law - Drake: the second Law used his Devil Fruit, Drake would have known who he was; maybe they’ve talked about it, maybe they’ve just sort of tangentially acknowledged the connection and nothing more (they are familiar with each other when they’re introduced in the main story, but it’s not clear how well they know each other); they probably had some run-ins in the North Blue when Law was getting started as a pirate, back when Drake was a public Marine; they probably also had some run-ins when Drake ‘defected’ (although Law seems to clock this is a false defection pretty fast); they’re not exactly antagonistic toward one another, but they don’t seem particularly interested in getting along or working together (which might change if they actually talked about Minion Island); regardless, Drake did let Law escape in Wano, so there is some drive between them to not just let the other suffer

I like the idea of Monkey!Reader having been a monkey for quite a bit before the journey starts but have been separated from other monkeys for any number of reasons so when the journey starts and either they join or Wukong joins depending on timeline their instincts say they need monkey cuddling time because they’re so used to it by now but Y’know they don’t want to be WEIRD about it, they’ve now got to acclimate back to human standards and that’s difficult in of itself and they’re heavily delaying asking him because it would be weird right? They’re not even from the same troop of course it’d be weird, plus they’re also both demons so like it’s also not the same-

Meanwhile Wukong just walks up to them and is like “Hello fellow monkey I have gone 500 years without contact please assist.”

the more I age the more I'm turning into my dad (in a good way, surprisingly). one thing I've always liked about him was that he's completely uninterested in why something is hard to do. he was a hyperefficient killing machine of an accountant of the likes i will never match

I used to think "well he has mysterious Thing-Doing Juice, that's why he has no sympathy for people who can't do things", and these days I'm playing around with the additional frame of, "he is totally uninterested in ruminating over the ways in which something is hard, and this is a superpower actually". There's a blurry line between discovering and inventing things about your approach to the needful

these days I increasingly catch myself about to go into a train of thought about the nature of a task's difficulty and aversiveness, and then go, "okay, bored in advance already, I'm going to do something else". (The something else is usually procrastination rather than doing the thing, but sometimes it is doing the thing.)

a related thing I've been doing is working on ruminating less in general, inspired by this (not 100% endorsed by me) guide by a psychologist who specializes in OCD. It's occurred to me that writing detailed accounts of why a task is difficult or bad is clearly a subset of the kind of rumination I want to cut out

I used to get, and still get, something substantial and arguably necessary from ventposting, but the one illusion I'm hoping to cure of myself is that detailed descriptions of the difficulty of a task serves any intellectual function. It gives me a feeling of emotional relief that is probably 'real', and it gives me a feeling of increased understanding of the nature of the problem that is probably 'false'

anyway watch all of this equanimity evaporate next year when tax time rolls around again
