#ts (In Other Worlds)

The group is growing-

The bottom row designs might still drastically change, they're not finished!! For instance, their face markings are missing-

There's also two more group members, but their designs are giving me a lot more trouble than the rest, so I'll wait with posting them until I'm at least somewhat happy with how they look like ( ´ ▿ ` );

Sanji and Usopp during The Sabaody Incident™ won't leave my mind.

Usopp standing in front of Sanji protectively because he is wounded and he can't fight, so Usopp will do it for him ("I'll do what you can't do").

There is just something about Sanji's expression when he realizes he might actually lose Usopp. This is my interpretation, at least. He is literally frightened.

Usopp helping Sanji stand up to run away. This is crucial for something I want to point out later: Sanji needs help to stand up. (Also, Brook disappears trying to protect them both and saying he will do anything to save them even if it costs him his life. I am feeling sick).

Sanji being self-sacrificing and blaming himself for not being able to protect them/act sooner is not new. But he does manage to gain the strength to fight when Usopp is the only one left with him and the possibility of losing him is even more real now.

The thing that I love the most about this is not Sanji sacrificing himself for Usopp, because he does that. He is like that. But Usopp not running away or moving in the slightest because he refuses to leave Sanji on his own.

Something I'd like to point out too is that Sanji actually touches Kuma before Usopp disappears. He tries to fight and protect him and Kuma could've easily sent Sanji to Momoiro Island right away, and yet Sanji was just sent flying far from the scene and forced to see Usopp disappear in front of him.

And I am not saying that "not being able to protect both Brook and Usopp (especially Usopp) is needed for Sanji to realize he has to become stronger and find more reasons to go back with the crew" but not being able to protect both Brook and Usopp (especially Usopp) is needed for Sanji to realize he has to become stronger and find more reasons to go back with the crew.

Not to mention that we can't deny (right after Water 7/Enies Lobby) that Usopp is one of Sanji's strongest bonds within the crew. This specific scene focusing on them both is more than enough to prove it.

Sanji seeing Usopp disappear in front of his eyes without being able to do anything to save him.

Remember what I said about Sanji needing help to stand up seconds ago? Well. This is him the moment Usopp disappears. What adrenaline and the power of love do to a mf.

They are so "I can lose everything, but not you. Oh God, not you" shaped.

traumatized dickweeds turn to torturing each other so they can distract from the fact that they both need therapy

what on earth

hey nerds @ nytimes.com/athletic you guys wanna tell me when the last time us hockey WAS an underdog???? even in a canada-usa echo chamber, the usa has certainly not been an underdog in hockey this century holy shit lmao. 4 nations has turned the hockey populace into morons. can we maybe discuss swiss, german, slovak, or czech hockey being underdogs and catching up instead of writing stupid thinkpieces like this?

I have to say that for me none of this has been about expecting taylor to listen to fans about her personal life. no part of me expects her to go "oh look the fans aren't happy about my boyfriend I better break up with him". it all stems from the fact with it happening in the first place. I'm not disappointed that she's doing something I personally don't want (my opinion on her life is unimportant!) I'm disappointed that someone I'm a fan of is acting in a way that totally opposes the values she's previously preached. it's just the sinking feeling that she's showing her true colours and they don't entirely align with what I thought.

Pre-Accepting Anxiety Virgil and Remus would be a chaotic duo-

•Cheat in board games against Janus (Virgil feeding Remus Jan's chess pieces when he isn't looking)

•Raiding the Light Sides kitchen and 3AM

•HORROR MOVIE NIGHT

•Virgil mimicking Remus' behaviour unintentionally

•Remus and Virgil (Affectionately) bullying each other.

EAUGH I LOVE THEM-

God Y E S Y E S Y E S to A L L of T H I S P L E A S E!!! They are Chaotic Partners In Crime, they are each others' ride or dies, and they are most certainly gonna have a good time doing it <3

The thing is, I very much do consider myself a progressive, but I’m a pragmatic progressive, which to me means (among other things) that I have a meaningful understanding of how government actually works, including being honest about what can and can’t be done through executive order and agency action, SCOTUS ratfuckery, and which party is responsible for congressional gridlock. As a policy matter, it also means I recognize that slogans are not policy and that the vast majority of policy goals can be reached in many ways (and that insisting your preferred method must be used to reach a goal while refusing to accept alternatives that are more feasible to implement and will accomplish the ultimate goal is the height of selfishness). And relatedly, I don’t demonize incremental change because in my view if you can help some people you should even if you aren’t able to help absolutely everyone you wanted to, you have a moral obligation to at a minimum help those you can and continue the fight for everyone else the next day. These things are not incompatible with progressive policy goals or values, and yet to the online left, those views make me an evil neoliberal etc etc. It never ceases to amaze me.

My last bit of worlds inspired craziness over the past week I'm going to post: an Amber Glenn magic the gathering card which I'm going to try to give to Amber (since she enjoys MtG).

i love ts' robe a lot,,,, as well as being really pretty, it's such a clever piece of symbolism that even for an iterator as uncommonly close with his citizens as ts was, iterators are still so definitionally dependent on their creators for even things as simple as being clothed

Man, you get it... you get it. As much as TS's citizens may have been kind to him, they did not, or could not give him any more independence than any other iterator anyway, in the end their fate is no different.

You get a picture of Three Signals in their prime as a reward! ^^)

There is a theme song for their youth, specifically a song I headcanon a big festival being held to in their city- I hope to animate something to it one day ^^) love the absolutely maddening and overwhelming joy of it, with a hint of something mystical- and with a hauntingly echoing fade-out at the end, like something that has been taken away from TS, and now only replaying in their memories.

I want to project on my spooky beloved so here we go.

1. Virgil is about a head shorter than Remus. His head nestles perfectly against his chest when they hug.

2. Remus likes to bite on Virgil’s hair when they hug. To the point that Virgil can tell something is wrong if he doesn't bite.

3. Remus makes little noises when he's happy. Everything from pterodactyl screeches to purrs. Virgil gave up trying to decode the noises, he's just happy to hear them.

4. Virgil plays with Remus's hands all the time, drawing on them and messing with his fingers. Its almost a fidget stim for him when his anxiety spikes.

These are all cute as fuck P L E A S E!!! I honestly adore the fact that most of these are stims they casually do and the other is just okay with it <3

Worlds is next week!

I may have gone a little crazy making signs and other things this past week. Above are just some of the many signs I made for skaters at worlds! I've made 3 different posts of them on fs reddit.

If any one is going to worlds themselves and wants some signs, you can print these or mess with them on canva (link here).
