As time goes on, you'll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn't, doesn't.

My favorite thing about recent events is that no one has actually told tr!Bad and tr!Pangi and definitely not tr!Lukey that the Ball is to replace tr!Ros's traumatic memory of the original Ball and cure her time sickness (maybe they told Bad but the fact I don't remember that happening means if it did happen Bad has 100% forgotten about it)

Like, they think this is just the Kingdom hosting another Ball because that's what Kingdoms do, and that they're hoping this one doesn't end horribly

But, uh oh, what's this? tr!Ros tries to get tr!Lukey killed when he is being an absolutely pathetic, wet cat, day old donut of a man and trying to see if he can get permission to the Ball since tr!Pangi asked him (and even prefaced multiple times that if tr!Ros still wanted to ban him from the Ball he'd respect that choice, all she had to do was say the words) right in front of tr!Bad which to him and his fucked up immortal mind is the greatest insult to his character and strength you could possibly perform so of course he's gonna try and wreck the Ball and potentially (definitely) start a war

Tldr: lack of actual communication strikes again and now the Ball is gonna be another horrible memory

Lord, oh Lord, give me STRENGTH to deal with that framing, my heart is too fragile, I cannot handle it.

Not only have we established that they're "not good with words", but Usopp just urges Luffy - who is, for the first time in a long time, actually unsure about himself and everything he's doing - to "speak from the gut". Something Luffy was always good at, but is self-conscious about, now that Nami told him he made the "wrong" choice. Usopp's gut is definitely my friend.

Batman Prompt 6.2 - Alfred

Ok, this one is a completely random thought

Alfred likes watching Telenovelas in his free time.

Each member of the family joins him. (separately)

I feel like Alfred would like them because they are so random; he would enjoy the drama.

And then when a (any) member of the family is walking around and sees what Alfred is watching.

They stay for a little bit...

"Why would Sam be that?! There was nothing in the story to even allude to her being that! Wtf!" (They somehow have watched 3 seasons already)

"Noooo! Pedro was obviously the better choice! Dave is a huge red flag!" (They mainly like it because of its ability to take them of guard, they see nothing coming.)

All the other kids slowly get sucked in, all watching the show with Alfred. (Of course at different times, so they don't know that they all now share a passion.) Alfred is just happy to spend time with his grandchildren.

(Bruce has already been roped in. It happened when he was a sad little kid. They now watch together every Tuesday.)

Somehow, a total coincidence, all of the kids decide to watch with Alfred at the same time.

It was hard at first, but now they all watch together on Tuesdays (yes, Bruce included)

The day(because they are busy at night) becomes a type of family bonding day. They mostly watch Telenovelas, but sometimes watch other things.

Holding knives to people's throats, slapping people across their faces, everyone has fucked each other, "I'm not your friend," "What the hell did you say?!"

God, I love this toxic shit!

it is i again... strawhats/revolutionaries enjoyer (sabosan/koanami)

im just thinking about oblivious sanji and koala vs struggling sabo and nami

sanji is oblivious because well. he doesnt recognize when someone is attracted to him... and koala is oblivious because shes not 100% sure if nami likes her that way (despite being painfully obvious) (im sure koala would def know but i jsut think it's a little bit funny)

like sabo and nami writing the most romantic letters Ever to their crushes and then sanji's like "? this is from luffy's brother but for who?" (WHO ELSE DOES SABO TALK TO MOST ASIDE FROM LUFFY !!!) and koala just reads nami's letter and goes "aw this is sweet. im sure the receiver is going to appreciate this :]"

(also alternatively, oblivious nami so sabo and koala are Both struggling...) oblivious nami is her not being sure if koala even likes girls so when koala is romantic with her shes just like "??? does she mean this in a friendly way? what does she mean by this?"

Hello, my beloved Sabosan/Koanami enjoyer, may I interest you with my very very normal and not insane feelings about this idea? 🙏🏻 (I am not normal. Nor sane).

Sanji is oblivious because his self-esteem rests at the bottom of the fucking ocean and the guy can't fathom the concept of somebody liking him, even less being in love with him. He goes around the world giving love but the second somebody else returns it he's like "huh, this is nice. I wonder if this feeling has a name. I am sure they're just this nice to everybody else and it has nothing to do with their perception of me". So, yeah, trying to flirt with Sanji is... Hard. On the other hand, Koala is oblivious because, even if she accepts the possibility of Nami liking her back, she doesn't know if it's love or just a short-term crush. They're always joking about Nami having a lot of girlfriends, so for Koala, who probably has only thought about one person besides Nami romantically, it's a bit weird to guess if Nami truly has strong feelings for her.

So this makes Sabo and Nami go absolutely insane trying to find ways to make the other two realize they're in love with them. Without saying it out loud either because despite being in love and often reckless with these things... They don't want to jump to conclusions. They want to court them, or something like that. Sabo is a writer, and we all know that, so he comes up with this plan and starts writing letters to Sanji. They're the most romantic, Jane Austen, poetic letters about yearning in the whole universe. The thing is-- He doesn't personally give them to Sanji, he just leaves them in the kitchen for him to find, because he's a writer but he's also a moron. And Sanji instantly gets jealous and frustrated and "Who- Who is he talking to except me????" because Sabo isn't even that close to the rest of the crew, tbh. He's always with either Luffy or Sanji and Sanji thought they had something special going on. So it's kind of breaking his heart to find the letters, and if he needs some space between them, Sabo thinks he has fucked up by confessing and Sanji doesn't feel the same. Yay! Miscommunication! Meanwhile, Nami steals the idea like the burglar she is and starts writing letters for Koala too. Unlike Sabo, she actually does give them to her, but Koala genuinely thinks Nami is asking for her opinion?? And it makes her extremely sad, but Koala just goes "Oh! This is great, Nami. I'm sure the girl you're in love with will definitely fall for you now" and Nami wants to jump into the sea and drown.

So now you have Sanji, who's not speaking to Sabo because he feels a bit betrayed and it's hard to be next to him now that he thinks Sabo loves somebody else. And Koala, who tries hard to help Nami with the letters and wants to be next to her even if it's to support her with a crush that makes her terribly sad. And both Sabo and Nami are going through the worst time of their lives.

(And Nami being the oblivious one is also really funny because not knowing if a girl is a sapphic or not and having a "is this platonic or romantic????" crisis happens to every lesbian in the world. I raise you, btw, oblivious Sabo for the same reason because he truly thinks Sanji is girl-crazy only).

the Interview team knows what I myself have known for quite some time (and it's so validating):

within the core of basically every great tangled emotional drama series of the 21st century is the beating heart, the DNA, of daytime soap operas

[al-norton]

So my entire dnd groupchat can have fun theorising that my character is secretly a lover of our criminal boss’ wife, but as soon as that turns out to be true it’s all ��nooooooooo’ and ‘you’ve ruined my family’s honor!’ and ‘not in the church????’ and ‘A SON?!?!?’ I see how it is…
