Weebsmas Day 6 - Japanese dishes to have in the winter

On the sixth day of Weebsmas we ate to our heart’s content. There’s a ton of soup based dishes that is perfect to have in the winter time but honestly, you can have this all-year round. (I, Star, have a terrible judge on these dishes because I love soup…) Anyways, here we go! Many blogs before me have mentioned before have expressed their love for these dishes so I will do my best to share the…

I love that Luffy's crew consists of: Famed Pirate Killer Demon Of The East Blue, con artist, pathalogical liar, long lost prince, small creature MD, last remaining member of a lost civilization and most dangerous woman in the world, cyborg who bites people REGULARLY, an old world pirate who just kinda plays the violin most of the time, and one of the seven warlords of the sea

WHO is doing it like him

Found your blog recently and love it. Have you ever drawn Yamato as a trans girl?

Thank you! I did just for you!!! Sorry it took me a while, I’ve been catching up on the manga and playing a lot of Minecraft. My mom thinks she’s very handsome.

i'm reading a manhwa where people are getting red eyes and it's allowing them to see monsters that live in an alt version of our world

and things are mostly ok with the 2 sides living side by side without each other's knowledge

until you do something to get the monster's attention

then they hunt you

12!donnie is sometimes shown to have red eyes

my brain made connections

the manhwa's called "prey" btw

Out of all the possible options for Sakurai post-Claw I am always absolutely delighted by the comedy in the Smilemart decision. Just like. Imagine you are the manager at this convenience store. Many of your previous hires are older teens or college students just looking to make some money part time. The most severe looking man in a suit walks in for an interview like he took a wrong turn on the way to the corporate office.

He opens his very official looking briefcase retrieve his resume, upon catching a glimpse of the inside you see that was the only thing in there. The resume in question is well laid out design-wise but after a moment you realize there is just a single job listed. When asked he provides a well-spoken response on his focused work ethic and experience in a position of management—however, it’s so vague you still can’t quite figure out what exactly this job was. He apparently never finished middle school. Strange as the whole situation seems to be you give him a shot and even while he never loses that odd intensity of his he quickly ends up being the most hard working employee you’ve ever had.

But didn’t shanks said they’re gonna go to laugh take together on “OUR own ship” when buggy was sick?

so, two things about this.

the first is a request for someone to please send me the raws to look at so i can make my own judgement on how literally to take this translation, because i read too many bad, official translations of manga in the early aughts to trust blindly. (eta: someone did!)

the second thing, assuming the translation is accurate: was buggy awake and aware enough to hear that? you can see a little gyaaaa sound effect that i assume is buggy screaming in the background, but idk what setting the anime provides for shanks in that scene. the manga panel has no background; shanks could be sitting next to buggy’s bed or he could be standing outside crocus’ office, for all i know. and even if he’s right next to buggy, with a high enough fever buggy might not retain any memories of events going on around him.

which is to say: just because shanks intended for the two of them to go to laugh tale together doesn’t mean buggy knew about it.

even during their roguetown conversation about laugh tale, when shanks says he changed his mind about going there he uses the phrase ima no tokoro (at present/for the time being). it sounds to me like a “not yet” sentiment (which seems very reasonable tbh, the two of them are fifteen, a two-man crew of teenagers is gonna have trouble getting to the new world, let alone laugh tale), but that is still enough of a shock to buggy that he rejects shanks for saying it.

okay, dialogue/translation nitpicking talk under the cut:

this is another situation where i really want to review the original japanese dialogue before i make a judgement!

because yes, the sj translation does have shanks saying that:

Chapter 967, Page 16

but then during the roguetown fight buggy says “that you’d take your own ship to laugh tale one day!!” (emphasis mine):

Chapter 1082, Page 8

so i am dying to know whether these two panels are using the same turn of phrase—or near enough to it, given buggy’s kinda rude, slangy way of speaking—because whether they are or not tells us a lot about how much buggy knew.

WHAT THE HELL? THAT CANNTTTT BE ODEN

[vaishouldonenotbethemself]

(ONE PIECE)

A simple answer

SPOILERS

I have a slight theory on what the One Piece could be... those who wish for it to remain completely mysterious can ignore this post.

According to Vegapunk, the waters had risen by 200 metres.

...

Final chance to leave!

What if the one piece, was basically the drainage plug of the Ocean? I'm talking a GIANT drainage plug. One that would drain the entire ocean and uncover the sunken lands and structures. And the ANCIENT KINGDOM!!! A drainage plug right beside a long message written by Joyboy. A message to all D clan members.

Vegapunk also said that the one who gets the one piece would be the one to control the world. And considering that the world of pirates and marines is surrounded by water, that could be very likely. There is also a theory that mother ocean is the final antagonist (IMU). Draining the Ocean could very well be the end of IMU.

But draining the Ocean would also mean travelling by Sea for adventure would be lessened.

Maybe that was why Roger and his crew didn't give the information. Because they wanted the adventure to continue for future generations. OR,

The sea level hadn't risen high enough for the plug to work. So they knew they had to leave it to the next generation of young pirates.

It could also be the reason why the crew laughed. An entire adventure to look at a drainage plug!

It would also be a hilarious end if the ocean is drained and all the kingdoms across the world and all of luffy's allies come together, and the celestial dragons are atop the Red Line, looking at the land below, literally stuck in their status above the rest.

This is just a theory!!!
