"Kuina's death is ridiculous" yes! That's the point! You do realize that falling down the stairs is a way of showing Zoro how fragile human lives are, right? You are aware that the point of Kuina's character is the unfairness of the world towards women in comparison to the privileges men have, like living in itself and fulfilling their dreams, right? You know that Kuina's death is "ridiculous and dumb" because it's meant to show that even the strongest person Zoro knew could die from something so little, right? You understand that the value Zoro gives to life is fucking immense, right? Right?? You realize Zoro can't seek revenge because nobody took her away from him and now the only thing he can do is become the world's greatest swordsman to avenge her death, right? You get that Zoro's character is an atheist because he doesn't believe in anyone and he can only rely on himself when it comes to Kuina's sudden death, right? You are aware that sometimes people die in the simplest of ways and that doesn't make them weak because death doesn't discriminate, right? You know that all of these things are what make Zoro's character so interesting and important, right? Right??? You know, right?

Well, of course you fucking don't because if you knew you wouldn't be saying her death is ridiculous <3

She doesn’t like anyone but Xaden, and she only tolerates me, though I’m growing on her. Like a tumor.

“Yo, looking a little rough there, Maki-chan.”

Maki stares. That’s –that’s Naoya. There’s no mistaking it. That’s Zenin Naoya standing right there in front of her, but that can’t be right.

He’s dead. He’s supposed to be dead. Twice over, even. Maki had killed the cursed spirit born from Zenin Naoya’s corpse herself–

So how is he here right now, standing in front of her as if there’s nothing wrong?

The sorcerer sheaths the sword in his hands in a single smooth, casual motion. Around him, there is a perfect semi-circle that remains untouched, while everything else is encased in thick columns of jagged ice.

And both Maki and Itadori are standing in the safe area behind him.

Naoya had protected them?

… Had she fallen under the influence of some illusory cursed technique? She’s not hallucinating this, is she?

Naoya –or at least, what appears to be Naoya, god knows if it’s another cursed spirit or something else that had crawled out of the asshole’s corpse– rests his sword against his shoulder lazily, tossing a backward glance at her from the corner of his eye. “Any particular reason why you were acting like a sitting duck just now?”

Maki glares. What the hell does he mean, sitting duck. “You–!”

She doesn’t get a chance to finish her words; there’s another spear of ice that lances in their direction, and Maki grips the cursed tool in her hand to–

–do nothing, apparently. Naoya raises a single hand, and the icy projectile freezes mid-air the moment his fingers brush against it. In the next second, it shatters into fine dust, scattering to the ground like glittering snow.

He turns around. “That eager to die, are you?”

The ice-manipulating curse user that he’s addressing scoffs. “Your threats are worthless, sorcerer.”

Instead of getting angry, Naoya merely rolls his eyes.

“Bo-ring.” He slides his gaze over towards Fushiguro –towards Sukuna. Sukuna, who had somehow escaped Itadori’s body and was currently using Fushiguro as his vessel.

It was so weird fighting a Fushiguro who suddenly became an utter monster in close combat. Annoying, too, because they still hadn’t managed to subdue him so they could figure out a way to pull Sukuna out of his body. And now it seemed that he had reinforcement in the form of that ice-manipulating curse user.

It didn’t seem that Naoya –if this was even really Zenin Naoya in front of them– was on their side. But–

“Oi,” Naoya points the end of his sheathed sword at Fushiguro-Sukuna. Since when was Naoya the type of person to brandish a weapon so proudly? Which added a tally to the growing theory that this wasn’t Zenin Naoya at all, despite the ugly face he wore. “I’m only saying this once: You should get out of the kid’s body before you make things worse for yourself.”

Sukuna laughs. Derisive, and dismissive. “Try and make me if you’re so confident about that, sorcerer.”

Naoya shrugs, then lifts his hand and closes his fingers over the hilt of his sword.

“Whatever, it’s your funeral.”

vilya saying "there was pressure put on me at a young age. i don't lead because i want to, i lead because i have to." and beau just going "it suits you, but also do whatever the fuck you want, i don't care." somehow feels like the most validating response Ever. i wonder how keyleth's story could have been different if she had someone beside her who didn't just say "you can do this, you'll do great" but also "do what you want to do – the people who matter most will stay by you regardless"

my mum: why am i seeing things on tiktok saying bobby is DEAD? me, now having to attempt to explain the insanity that was last night to my mother who loves bobby nash 😮‍💨

[galactic-rhea]

im deeply curious about your vaderdala au, their relationship seems goofy af but im intrigued of how it reached that point; padme didn't confront him on mustafar at all or something else happened?

A bit of this can be answered with this post, I think! Since I give a bit more of context about this AU

But for a more direct answer, yes, she did go to Mustafar. Most of ROTS went the same way it did in this AU except for Padmé's death. Then she spent some years hidden 'working' with the rebels, although her main goal was to end Palpatine and recover whatever is left of her husband.

And yeah, they look goofy as hell and they are, most of the time, but that's because I haven't (yet) showed their deep messe-up-ness, the inherent messe-up-ness of a couple that took over the galaxy and in which one of them almost murdered the other and out of guilt will accept anything what's asked of him and will endure any torture, and in which the other now has complete control over the other. Although I did touch it a bit on this one. Like, this might be redundant, but the empress padmé AU is just the evil version of anidala, which means they're still dumb as hell and extremelly in love, but now there's (more)murder and a weird hierarchy between them, in a way is very tragic actually, because they fell back into the dynamics they pretty much avoided (Padmé being in charge, Anakin being less than her), but it's safe, and it's something they know and it's something they both can play pretty well, and they both know they love each other madly and do try to be the best they can for the other.

Actually I think, this sappy dialogue i wrote randomly a while ago will summarize it pretty well:

Wrong Ticket

Danny bought a plane ticket to travel to Goshen, Indiana to visit his father's family. Apparently his aunt was very excited to meet him, and Jazz was excited to send him away from the lab after his accident.

She was worried that she would have to spend a few days scouting colleges, and Danny would be left home unguarded (she wouldn't make that mistake twice, her parents didn't count as good guards and Danny would be too bored since he was on school holidays), so the invitation from their uncles was like a miracle fallen from heaven.

Unfortunately for Danny, his family didn't check the ticket after purchasing it, and therefore they didn't notice the error where "Goshen, Indiana" was changed to "Gotham, New Jersey," so when the airline called his flight, Danny didn't notice his destination. He practically fell asleep a few seconds after entering the plane.

Danny wished he had been paying attention when a few hours later he found himself stranded on the streets of Gotham with nothing but his luggage and a little money. Though that last seemed more of a risk than a benefit if he took into account the way they watched him as he passed.

As if that wasn't enough, it seemed that something strange was starting to happen to him, there were moments where his backpack would slip from his grip, almost as if he was walking through it, and others where he felt invisible. This did not go unnoticed by the denizens of Gotham, who were assessing him with clear interest.

Red Hood, who had noticed the guy (possibly meta) stumbling into his territory, sighed and offered him a temporary place to stay. Danny, who just met the strange guy in the red helmet, was relieved to have temporary lodging, though he would probably look for another place the next day. Just in case.

Unlikely the relevant people will see it bc it's so far outside my circles now but I genuinely am so grateful that my biggest posts have been positive ones. Been having a real rough go of it lately mental health wise and seeing people still tagging my post from 3 years ago with the little joys they've experienced recently is a nice reminder there's still joy to be had in this big ol shitheap we are condemned to inhabit. Sometimes people send me pictures of cats named after breakfast foods bc 3 years ago I said that's my dream way to name a cat. If nothing else, we stay silly. Despite the horrors. Despite everything. At its very core, humanity stays silly.

So, random thought, but what if Ari and Serafine met? I don't know how well that would go, but who knows, it could be funny, or something.

..... ...or something
