Rayllum fans worrying about them splitting up for a couple of episodes when in reality it's just 10 minutes

while i don’t really believe in the ‘shen yuan is shen jiu reincarnated’ theory, the concept of shen yuan insulting the person who’s body he’s currently possessing only to find out that was him later on in the novel would’ve been the funniest thing ever because damn you’ve really been insulting yourself this entire time

Something a lot of people don't realise is how close Perona and Alvida are in age???? I was shocked when I found out but this makes their potential with the cross guild insane.

Imagine Perona coming to visit Mihawk and immediately hitting it off with Alvida, who was in desperate need of female companionship. But then it turns into low-key flirting... And Buggy sees this and tries to set them up, to Mihawk's absolute despair.

Crocodile has no idea what's going on and doesn't care until things get unnecessarily tense between bughawk (because they're both dramatic theater kids at heart) and he just ends up having to step in, which is unusual to say the least because Crocodile is the starting point of most disagreements in cross guild. So it shocks even him that he didn't do anything this time around.

David! I knew the dog Buck rescued in the stilsl reminded me of another dog but it's a beagle. Aka the dog Henry had in Red, White, and Royal Blue. We love David in this household.

The coincidences between Bucktommy and RWRB continues

Best Star Wars movie banter including Return of the Jedi(But for Bucktommy it's via Buck's best friend's son lol)

One half realizes he bi later in life

Guy with an extremely troubled past and a history of closeting(Forced for Henry, for Tommy it's a mix of forced during his army years, self-preservation under Gerrard, and then just self-hatred) that's blue sabotages his future with the sunny golden boy which his own troubled past because he thinks golden boy doesn't see him and the future he so desperately wants is so hard to obtain. (I was thinking about this last night actually)

Public servants(Prince/First son vs firefighters) kinda

Gerrard and the Queen being evil homophobic tormentors in Tommy/Henry's past.

Now beagles

... No wonder I love them both so damn much. They're extremely different stories and Bucktommy are broken up/hopefully getting back together but at their core it's not wildly dissimilar. And I love all 4(Buck, Tommy, Alex, Henry) so much.

weirdos on Twitter loooove to assume that for any given localization job that the original Japanese is INHERENTLY better, as if one of the most common goals in localization isn't 'turn dogwater writing into something interesting'

i just know this is taylor watching us every time she drops new content

[scriv3lloirl]

That mouthwash post is real but for us its kinda switched. The first time Daisuke fronted and went to brush his teeth, he freaked out when he saw mouthwash and refused to enter the bathroom until someone else fronted.

We keep the mouthwash under the sink now.

[Scrabble (🎸)]

Keeping it under the sink might be helpful for us, actually.. Out of sight, out of mind! Hopefully.

1. how does sunday react to people having genuine debates with him? does he get defensive about his ideas or does he listen to his “opposition” to gain a new perspective? 2. is there a new dream that sunday perhaps doesnt realize he has but feels more than he thinks about? a passion perhaps? 3. whats his favorite color and why? any associations with it that are positive? or negative?

how  does  sunday  react  to  people  having  genuine  debates  with  him?  does  he  get  defensive  about  his  ideas  or  does  he  listen  to  his  “opposition”  to  gain  a  new  perspective?

i  think  there's  a  little  bit  of  cognitive  dissonance  involved  —  because  sunday  is  someone  who  genuinely  believes  that  he's  quite  open  to  debates.  the  crux  of  his  conflict  with  the  express  ultimately  boils  down  to  sunday  welcoming  them  to  change  his  mind  and  prove  that  their  path  is  capable  of  saving  more  people.  it's  why  he  goes  through  the  trouble  of  presenting  them  with  so  many  moral  choices.  it's  why  he  invites  them  to  the  charmony  festival  to  see  which  ideology  ultimately  prevails.  (  "sunday  is  deeply  committed  to  his  own  philosophy  and  genuinely  wants  to  prove  that  the  order  is  right."  )  i  think  if  asked,  he  would  wholeheartedly  claim  that  he  would  concede  if  presented  with  a  better  option  —  but  that  is  inherently  the  problem.  he  is  never  going  to  concede.  there  will  never  be  a  better  option,  because  sunday  is  so  inflexible  in  his  conviction  that  he's  correct,  and  any  pretenses  of  a  debate  are  more  about  swaying  the  other  party  over  to  his  way  of  thinking.  he  will  always  have  a  counterargument  prepared,  he  will  always  be  ready  to  bury  you  beneath  waves  of  sophism.  watching  paint  dry  has  a  more  tangible  degree  of  progress.

ultimately,  he  warmly  welcomes  you  to  debate  him.  he  will  listen  politely  to  everything  you  have  to  say.  but  his  offer  is  steeped  in  condescension;  he's  already  made  his  decision  about  the  victor  and  now  he's  just  patiently  waiting  for  you  to  catch  up.

it  kind  of  serves  as  a  microcosm  of  an  even  greater  personality  flaw.  i  find  the  way  sunday's  more  prideful  side  manifests  to  be  really  fascinating  in  general  —  he  has  a  very  "i  know  better  than  you"  energy  to  him.  it's  not  unlike  a  doting  parent  or  shepherd  diligently  leading  his  flock  of  helpless  sheep.  i  know  i've  mentioned  it  before,  but  he  tends  to  veer  quite  condescending  without  meaning  to.  sunday  has  gotten  a  bit  better  about  it  after  taking  a  train  to  the  face  and  he's  usually  coming  at  it  with  the  best  of  (  warped  )  intentions,  but  occasionally  he  still  flies  too  close  to  the  "guy  who  orders  for  you  at  a  restaurant  because  he  knows  you  WILL  like  what  he  chooses"  shaped  sun  for  comfort.

is  there  a  new  dream  that  sunday  perhaps  doesn't  realize  he  has  but  feels  more  than  he  thinks  about?  a  passion  perhaps?

pov  i  am  standing  at  my  "sunday  will  join  the  astral  express"  conspiracy  board  and  mouthing  "trailblaze,  trailblaze,  trailblaze"  at  you  with  increasing  urgency  while  maintaining  direct  eye  contact.

that  aside,  i  don't  believe  his  original  dream  has  actually  changed  at  all  —  he's  simply  been  put  into  a  position  where  he  must  reconsider  his  method  of  attaining  it.  the  person  sunday  is  now  isn't  capable  of  building  that  long  desired  paradise  —  a  fact  he  has  been  made  very  painfully  aware  of.  but  where  others  might  falter  or  reconsider  their  goals  altogether,  sunday  is  too  determined  to  give  up  (  unsurprisingly,  considering  what  he  was  ready  to  sacrifice  the  first  time  around  )  and  is  willing  to  rebuild  both  himself  and  his  dream  bit  by  bit.  beyond  that,  i  think  he  would  really  like  to  duet  with  robin  again  if  given  the  opportunity  —  particularly  as  he  reacquaints  himself  with  the  piano  and  rediscovers  a  joy  for  playing  music  as  opposed  to  merely  dictating  it  from  the  conductor's  podium.  unfortunately,  that  dream  certainly  won't  be  happening  anytime  soon;  long  separation  and  the  spotlight  being  so  infamously  strict  and  unforgiving  as  it  is,  his  mere  presence  in  robin's  vicinity  is  equivalent  to  a  dark  stain  that  threatens  to  ruin  her  entire  career.  but  he  can  at  least  keep  himself  preoccupied  by  practicing  for  a  recital  that  may  or  may  not  ever  happen.

what's  his  favorite  color  and  why?  any  associations  with  it  that  are  positive?  or  negative?

i  think  in  general  sunday  has  a  preference  for  cooler  colors  —  soft  grays,  dusty  blues  and  so  on.  he  strikes  me  as  the  type  of  person  who  can  tell  the  difference  between  eggshell  and  ivory  white  at  a  glance.  he  also  likes  metallic  hues;  silver,  gold,  bronze  —  playing  lightly  into  his  magpie-esque  fondness  for  little  bits  of  jewelry.

his  favorite  color  overall  is  actually  that  pale  lilac  shade  seen  in  both  his  mother  and  robin's  hair  —  unsurprisingly  because  it  makes  him  think  of  them.  there's  a  part  of  sunday  that  quietly  wishes  it  was  also  his  natural  hair  color;  he  never  knew  the  father  whom  he  supposedly  takes  after  in  that  area.
