i refuse to believe that boycotting is hard. my favourite thing in the world is ordering maccies after a late night at work/a concert/getting drunk. yes i do miss it sometimes. but the other night i ordered from a small place near my house instead and it was the most orgasmic burger i've ever had in my life. i very rarely say this but fucking suck it up people are DEAD

Imagine it's like, 10 years later and not only does Sanji realize that Zoro is kind of his best friend, but he also spends all of his time with him??? And he kind of loves him??? And in all of their time together, Sanji has rarely sought out other companionship (rarer over time) and Zoro has never seemed interested in it???

"OH MY GOD!"

"It's not a big deal, cook."

"I HAVEN'T SPENT A SINGLE DAY WITHOUT YOU IN SEVEN YEARS."

"And you've gotten on my nerves every single one of those 2,556 days."

"WE SHARE A BED!"

"I'm almost always on night watch and you're up before anyone else. Waste of space to each have our own."

"BUT WE SLEEP IN IT TOGETHER HALF THE TIME!"

"At least you don't kick in your sleep. And you always bitch about being cold when you're alone, so I'm not seeing the problem here."

"OH MY GOD, ARE WE DATING? WHAT IS THIS? WHAT ARE WE???"

(🪽 First Falin is actually The Red Dragon in her body, if you can't tell)

ID under cut:

(PHOTO ID: A 4 panel comic all starring Dungeon Meshi characters. Falin has her post canon neck feathers in each depiction. The first is "Regular Couple" with The Red Dragon, fronting in Falin's body, and he's cuddling with a happy Marcille. Second is "Yaoi Couple" with Kabru and Laois kissing each other. Third is "Yuri Couple" with regular Falin holding up Marcille's face, both inches away from one another. Last is Falin giving a thumbs up to the camera, with the text "I See No Difference, I Am Nearsighted. END ID)

"ruthlessness" is a devastating song, no argument, but just how devastating it is always gives me goosebumps when i listen to it. i love that jay understands that silence can be as powerful as sound, and that's what really drives the loss of his men home, for me.

think about it; 600 men on a dozen ships initially, so that's about 50 people per ship. the 43 men left are solely on odysseus's vessel.

the men screaming his name, the wind roaring, and suddenly, everyone is gone. the silence is so loud. so final.

it's not like they fell overboard, and are screaming for help in the waves. they're gone immediately, and the sudden silence is so chilling.

I just realized,

It's crazy how Voice of the Hero, the representation of our Will and Agency, immediately notices the lack of agency of The Damsel.

[bunnieswithknives]

Why does Dale want to hunt fairies? What made him believe in them? He's a full gown adult and is hunting them. I know Mr Crockers case, is Dale different the same?

Generally speaking Dale believes in whatever he thinks will make him money. He probably saw something online offering absurd amounts of money in exchange for proof of fairies and figured even if he couldn't find anything he could get chatGPT to write a book about his experience for him and make money anyway.

After he shot Dev he was going to call it quits altogether, too much headache when he can make profit so many other ways. At least until Flowers put him through an undeniably supernatural experience that is.

I have been making Rayman fanarts for a while and there hasn't been any major games in ten years. I didn't do a big number of notes for my fanarts sure, but I had fun. Rn I'm in tmnt hyperfixation hell but I know I'll come back to Rayman later, or even keep doing both who knows ! I'm done doing art to please other people for free. Generally when I do something it's either bc I want to do the thing or bc no one else has done the thing the way I wanted it. Do your thing, make yourself happy. You are not done with the fandom you are in ? Good, have fun ffs. You have the right to play with your blorbos as long as you want.

I really don’t like how fast paced fandom culture is. It wouldn’t be such a problem except there’s so much pressure to move on once a media ends. I already see people being like “Well it’s my last few months in the owl house fandom, time to find something new.”

People go hyper when a fandom begins, and dump an extreme amount of content out to compete with the algorithm, then, when the media it stemmed from ends, they quickly scramble to move on to the next big fandom.

I plan to be in the owl house fandom for years; I’ve got so many fanfictions I want to write and cosplays to work on.

I see a lot of people feeling pressured to make content for whatever fandom is “hot” at the moment, even if it’s not really what they want to be doing.

It’s always “Churn out the fics and fanart right away so you hit when the fandom is at its peak.” No time to just sit quietly, engage in whatever fandoms you enjoy, not worrying about when the best time to post is or whether a fandom is dying.

The pure joy of being creative for a media you are passionate about gets tainted by the stress and pressure of being on time, being hip, retaining interest.

And with cosplay, so many people wear a cosplay to one or two conventions and then that’s it. New fandom, new cosplay.

I’m planning a Luz cosplay and I’m going to wear that over and over again, not only because I don’t when the money to constantly make new ones, but also because I enjoy it. If somebody truly does move that fast, that’s fine, but I do know a lot of people are pressured into moving on to the next “big thing” and it saddens me.

I’ve even found myself worrying, “I’d better write this fic fast or else TOH will be finished and no one will be interested anymore.” But I don’t want to worry about that. Fandom should be fun, and the community is lovely but it’s primarily about you and your love for a media. I hope we can all feel comfortable enjoying things at our own pace and staying in a fandom for as long as it brings us joy.

OOOOOO CAN I ASK HOW WOULD THE N2 SQUAD REACT TO EACH OF THEM DYING?

What have you unleashed?

(WARNING: Angst, allusions to death, all that fun stuff. Nothing graphic tho, don't worry)

Jamil

He shouldn’t be surprised.

Well… He isn't surprised. Jamil Viper doesn't get nice things. Not for more than a few months, anyway.

Every once in a while, life takes pity on him and throws some nice, agreeable news his way. Just enough so that he lets his guard down. Just enough so that he allows himself to think maybe things will get better. Just enough so that he can pretend he isn't chained to a fate he will never escape.

A letter to NRC, a plan that goes a little too well, a couple of upperclassmen who seem to genuinely love him for who he is and not who he pretends to be.

So of course it doesn't last. Life gives and life takes.

Kalim follows, Octavinelle gets involved, Leona and Vil-

Well…

He isn't surprised.

Jamil Viper doesn't get nice things.

Vil

They look at him like they expect something from him. Horror, anger, ugly tears maybe. Just a reaction. Anything. Anything at all.

Vil doesn't give them that. Doesn't give them an opportunity to pity him. Doesn't give them food for gossip. Doesn't give them any material to make this topic last for any longer than it has to.

He knows how it works. Someone snaps a pic of him at his lowest, someone records his voice breaking during an interview, someone catches his lips tremble for but a second, and everybody will start talking about it again. And again. And again. For as long as there is a reaction from him. For as long as the topic attracts views.

Suffering brings more views than success.

So Vil doesn't react. Doesn't say a thing. Doesn't acknowledge the topic.

Better to be a cold asshole for a few weeks than to hear about it for years.

And in the darkness of his own room, where there is no camera, no eyes, and no ears to witness his grief-

Vil cries himself to sleep.

Leona

It’s just sand.

Only sand.

For miles and miles, further than the eye can see, nothing but sand.

Ruggie had the clever foresight to send all of Savanaclaw packing when Leona got the news. They would be sand too otherwise.

Who cares.

Who fucking cares.

He could turn the whole world to sand and it wouldn't be enough.

He might as well turn his own heart into sand.

It would hurt less.
