The worst part about trying to figure out what Crocodile's deal is that because he's so fucking irredeemably evil in Alabasta... Like... Yeah he's just irredeemably evil. Like I love him but he did cause countless casualties, a ton of pain and suffering and literally attempted to blow up a million people

Like no amount of theoretical "trying to do it to save his son from the Government" or "trying to stop the Government from hurting anyone else" or just "doing it for the greater good" is going to make him any less of a mass murderer

But also Robin absolutely 100% helped with all of that shit simply because she wanted to read the Poneglyph for herself.

No amount of her intending to betray Crocodile from the begining and sabotaging his plans erases the fact that Robin also caused countless people to starve to death and die in the civil war. Her sabotages only succeeded out of sheer luck, and only spared the lives of the people at the final battle. She has the blood of countless innocents on her hands. Because she wanted to read history.

But her crimes were swept under the rug because she has a sad backstory and her sabotages worked out just at the nick of time by sheer dumb luck

So Croc??? Just??? Is there a chance??? At all???

But also he did literally intend to sell Buggy into slavery

Like, fuck Buggy, but jesus

What's also killing me is that we like. Don't know what Luffy thinks of Crocodile right now. Which really is like. The thing that will decide how we, as the readers, are supposed to feel about Crocodile. Luffy is our POV

Like we don't know what Luffy's opinion of Crocodile is after he helped save Luffy (and spared Ace once) during the Summit War. Like Luffy clearly fucking hated the man in Impel Down and the two interactions they had during the War weren't like positive (in the sense that Luffy himself didn't think of the interactions as particularly positive. Defending Whitebeard from being attacked once and then being like "wait what HIM?!" when Crocodile defended Ace. To be fair, in the midst of the chaos, there wasn't much time to spend on Pondering On Such Things because Ace needed to be saved, and Oda goes out of his way to not show us what's going on inside Luffy's head, because it's all meant to be out in the open anyways. Regardless, these weren't like "yay it's Crocodile! :)" moments for Luffy is what I mean)

But also Luffy was very grateful of Law for saving his life and was willing to put his trust into Law for their alliance- of course, they weren't explicitly enemies to begin with, rivals at most, but still. Luffy respects those who help him.

But also Luffy grew during the timeskip. Like he's not that clueless anymore (like he finally understands Hancock is in love with him etc), and similarly Luffy gets that Buggy is an absolute loser now. But also Buggy did also help save Luffy's life (even if it was by accident), and while IDK if Luffy is aware of that, I don't think that helped improve Luffy's impression of Buggy

So like. The fuck does Luffy think of Crocodile, at this moment? Even with the Cross Guild reveal, he didn't even really comment on Croc and just focused his energy on being confused about Buggy being "the leader" of CG. IDK it feels almost intentional or something, that we don't know what Luffy thinks?? Especially since we did get Zoro's opinion on Mihawk in the situation?? Or am I delulu?? (Sidenote. I'd love to know what Robin would have to say about Crocodile helping save Luffy's life. What Jinbei might think of the final words Crocodile left him with before blasting them out of Akainu's reach. But mainly just Robin's thoughts)

Like IDK my best guess would be that Luffy still hates Crocodile just the same but is like grossed out by technically owing him one??? In the classic

-kinda way, you know? And that he'd be just kinda confused about it?

Because I can't fucking imagine Luffy being like "oh we're cool now" with Crocodile, let alone "Yay Crocodile :) He saved my life!". But also like. Luffy does kind of owe Croc one. Kind of. And Luffy is usually very respectful of that kind of thing. Aaaaaaaa???

(Also does. Does Luffy even know it was Crocodile who yeeted him and Jinbei out of Akainu's reach to begin with. 'Cause he was unconcious. Knocked the fuck out. Does. Does Luffy even know. Did anybody tell him???)

I just.

There's the reasonable part of me that knows Crocodile is an irredeemable evil dickbag and everything he has ever said and done up to the most recent chapters support that. He is too far gone.

And then there's the absolutely delulu part that loves a tragic villian who gets a heartwrenching redemption that's looking for any fucking sign that could indicate Crocodile could maybe be one

Got to season 7 on my CSI rewatch and I need to talk about the final scene in s07e11, where Grissom is saying goodbye to Sara before leaving to go on his sabbatical. I mean, look at him. Look at what he does with his hands. *Agressively* Look at himmmmm. He's just a little puppy in love. And he does this right before whispering, "I'll miss you". I'm afraid I'm not gonna make it y'all

Charlie: Actually, I prefer to be on the floor, but then equipment starts moving. It depends on what the floor's made of. Sometimes you're playing with one foot trying to reach a bass drum that keeps slipping away, and that's the hardest thing in the world. The one thing I don't like about drum risers- especially if they get really high like the enormous one Ringo used to play on--when they get that big you can't see everybody else. I don't like that.

Interviewer: It's like being separated.

Charlie: Yeah. I don’t like that.

Sorry for the posts guys, I'm uh. I'm going through it /lh

I always feel bad whenever ppl qrt artists to complain about how they drew something (mainly if it’s harmless) and it goes viral so ppl just start piling onto their shit like crazy to the point of harassment. It’s not that hard to simply ignore it if you don’t like itsjsjs…

“I think he was sleeping with a lot of interns and younger women recently before he got married”

What makes you say that? Aside from ‘that’s just what men do’.

Trying to paint him as a sleazy guy who won’t date women his age is just disingenuous because there’s no proof for it.

I think there were some rumours of him getting his assistant to get him some intern’s number.

And of course, I accept that I don’t know him and a lot of this is speculation and I could honestly be 1000% wrong. But guess what, I feel it so strongly that I’m not wrong 😂😂😂 and that’s because most men are like this. Why are you being his lawyer and fighting for him though???

Oh... I think the really thick dark tall patches of grass are where I threw fertilizer down last summer thinking it was grass seed when I bought it. I got it to fix the lawn that the stupid lawn care guy destroyed (they've moved onto greener pastures. Commercial private properties) and it seemed to only make it more bald but I guess it just needed time 😅 welp

A hard pill for me to swallow lately has been that, despite everything, I'm probably the best version of myself that could've existed. And that's not really a comforting thought.

It’s funny viewing Mikey’s stories on Instagram because he’ll be the most boring stereotypical heterosexual man possible and then I remember this is the guy who fucked his way through warped tour

an incomplete list of Vaguely Hilarious Things That Have Happened Because I Am The First And Only Woman (loose term) In My Family/Community Who Is Over 25, Unmarried, And A Crossdresser:

-my mumani, mamu, and nani called up my baba to tell him that I am an “admi jaisi aurat” (”woman who is like a man”)

-multiple guests at a family friend’s wedding called up my chacha and my baba to complain about my clothing and mannerisms (I wore a black, gold, and white men’s shalwar kurta, a red hijab, and a gold nose ring. the horror! the disrespect! the fascination that a young woman guest had with me and my clothes until she finally came up to me to breathlessly compliment me and say she wished she could wear something cut like that!)

-my chacha’s mother called him several times to interrogate him all the way from bombay about my status as unmarried bc she keeps a list of every unmarried woman starting at 18 years old and I am the only person still on that list and she cannot fathom why

-my nani. only living grandparent I have (inshallah she will live a long time). I don’t think I have to elaborate on this point lmao

-family friend brought a rishta for me. he has an mba and studied in australia and the uk and I am old so why would I say no? (I said no. while cackling.)

-my amma’s cousin called multiple times to ask me what type of husband I want and only gave up when I gave several half rude half joking answers in a row. this woman then brought a rishta from my amma’s phuphi’s co-wife for her son bc he is a doctor and I am old so why would I say no? (I said no. vehemently.)

-my phuphi who lives in garhwal has started wearing a men’s kurta sometimes. she says she finds it more comfortable and likes the pockets. my baba told her that I wear men’s clothes too and she was very happy and said “good! who will tell us no?”

-my baba’s khala refers to herself as the man of the house/other masculine roles. my baba said that’s what I do too. she said it’s about personality [dismissive wave at her husband] “yeh toh lallu panju hai. main ghar ka admi hoon, main ‘mens log’ hoon”

-multiple total strangers just said “why??” when my baba said I am unmarried

-different total stranger told my baba that shaadi is fard so he should force me to get married

-my baba’s friend defended me in the above situation and said that one of the four imams never married so shut the hell up

-above situation ended in the men all going to a literal sheikh to ask him about it. sheikh turned out to be chill and was on my side. take THAT, total stranger

-multiple girls have used me as an example of why they shouldn’t have to get married young, or at all. I know for sure that at least one father has accepted that argument and is not pressuring his daughter to get married now. hooray!

-kicked out of a restaurant. we found a better place that sold really good kanafeh so it was a good thing in the end. I will say I don’t deal with as much nonsense in muslim/desi shops or restaurants as one would expect. the worst of it on a regular basis is other customers assuming I am male and then getting rude or uncomfortable if they realize that I am not. staff has never been rude in any place except for the one time that I got kicked out

-women refusing to pray next to me or speak to me at the masjid (shoutout to the older lady who physically grabbed one lady by the shoulders and said SHOULDER TO SHOULDER, SISTER, FILL THE LINE, and made her stand next to me properly)
