Thinking about Robin and Vivi having their first conversation after the events of Alabasta

Vivi knows that she can trust her. She knows that Luffy trusts her and that she should to. She acts professionally to Robin. She acts like a princess.

Yet she cannot forgive Robin. It's apparent to everyone when they meet for the first time. Robin aided in the almost destruction and over throwing of Vivi's country, the thing that Vivi cares the most for, even more than her own life.

Robin knows an apology is not what Vivi needs nor what she wants because Vivi will never be able to forgive her. Vivi gets along because they're technically on the same crew. They're supposed to be nakama. Robin has protected their friends time and time again.

Robin tells Vivi of her past, of the Buster Call. She understands how Vivi feels. She knows how it is to have her country, her friends, her family, ripped away right in front of your eyes.

Vivi doesn't forgive her. She can't. But she understands Robin a bit more. They have mutual respect for each other.

Robin, the devil child from O'Hara and Vivi, the princess of Alabasta. A friendship based on mutual respect and love of their countries.

god the blackface kier scene is such an excellent example of how lumon makes its employees feel like they should be grateful for being treated like shit. of course theyre not above blatant racism but theyll mask it as inclusivity and progressivism and all those other helpful little buzzwords. so that when milchick receives his "gift" he feels like he has no choice other than to say thank you because its being like. presented under the guise of acknowledgement. he shouldnt feel uncomfortable he should be happy... the board is doing this for him. fucked up stuff

"if i am the king then you have to let me go"

"i'm corvus, i was specifically requested"

"i don't believe in locks"

"haha nice one callum, he deserves it"

"lady justice came to me in a dream"

"don't get yourself killed."

"strength isn't always about weapons"

"shhh, nobody likes a noisy mage"

"tell me she wasn't your world"

"you're just like your grandmother"

"she’s not my friend, she is my prisoner"

"rickety snickers"

"wasn’t the horse~"

"i am a storm dragon. i certainly hope it's working."

"in the name of love, you may perform acts so unforgivable… you will never forgive yourself."

"we could travel the countryside and try the seven cakes of xadia!"

"i am prepared to do anything to protect the king. anything. i hope you will understand"

"i guess it wouldn't be the first time i accidentally on purpose ruined a super rare magical artifact."

"don't do this. i will kill you" "probably"

"anyone know any adventuring songs?"

"we can find more practical uses for this one"

"well, i think about it like this, why see myself as chained down, when i can be chained up?" "i admire your tenacity"

"just the three of us"

"watch, he'll come back reciting an epic poem about his adventuring. he's probably late because he's stuck thinking of a rhyme for 'legendary heroics.'"

"the world just isn't ready for what we have. "

"i have been doing research!" "yes, i can see that"

"i do not understand girls"

"i thought you disapproved" "i disagree. but i stand by you anyway"

"edge-frazzled"

"soren is a doof but he's my doof!"

"it doesn't matter what happens to me. live or die, this dragon goes home."

"the kingdom of duren has been suffering from a terrible famine for nearly seven years. "

"even if you were wearing the rarest legendary armor, forged by sunfire elves... super dead."

"fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me. fool me three times, back to you again." "that's not how it goes." "shame on you."

hi Emma! Who do you consider your friends do you have a crush on anybody?

can i also just say i think it's really fucking poignant that jayce and viktor's arc is a very neat circle. like yes - the fact that it was always jayce and viktor, since viktor gives jayce the rune in every universe, and vis a vi the bootstrap paradox, that means jayce and viktor's love for jayce is the impetus for that action every damn time is one of those circular moments - but i mean in the way that their arc together begins with viktor pulling jayce back from the brink ("am i interrupting?") and ends with jayce pulling viktor from the brink. ("you were never broken, viktor.")

BUT MORE THAN THAT! the symmetry of their arc is beautiful. s1 is a showcase of the ways in which viktor does capitulate and move to accomodate jayce; he takes on jayce's dream, jayce's idea for hextech - and yes, viktor is an integral part to making hextech work, and his own dreams for a better future for zaun is a massive part in that too, i'm not trying to disregard that - and makes himself into jayce's shadow (in a way), allowing him to be the man of progress. certainly some of that is because viktor himself doesn't really want to have to be the man of progress, and seems like he could really care less about the politicking of it all, until it begins to affect his home and people in a more concrete sense, but the fact remains that viktor puts off his dreams of making life better in zaun for the proliferation of hextech in piltover - something which is more jayce's dream than it is viktor's. (i could get into how little of a shit i think viktor does give about piltover, but that's another post)

and s2 is jayce returning that sacrifice and regard. "i get it now. my place was always here, in the lab, with you." he violates the ethos - something jayce has been reluctant to do since he was first exiled - to bring viktor back to life after the explosion. he completely drops out from the council to try and bring viktor back. he gives up mel. gives up a life where he might have been known as the hero who stopped the machine herald and noxus both.

he chooses viktor! ("we do this together.") he gives himself up to viktor's wishes, whims, and dreams - not only through grasping the rune together with him at the very end, but also through taking on old man viktor's mission to stop himself and avert the apocalypse.

its love and legacy. and jayce, who wanted more than anything else to leave behind a legacy, gives that all up for viktor. what an arc! what a circle! for a show that so deliberately eschews perfect, pristine circles, i find that the existence of this one in the story is so meaningful.

Remembering how from Arthur's perspective in season 3, yellow was just john who didn't remember himself. How arthur was grieving the whole time, when the actual John remembered everything.

I'm just imagining John Doe in the dark world, trying so desperately to remember everything he knows about Arthur, constantly revising all the information so much so that even when he becomes King of the Dark World, he can still recall tiny bits of information Arthur told him like the boys brigade.

Do you think that's how he managed to stay himself despite it all? How he managed to hold on to his humanity by holding onto Arthur's memory?
