I’m Now Realizing That Pronouns And Gendered Terms Hit Different For Me When I’m Speaking Different

When I said I needed pots, THIS WASN’T WHAT I MEANT

This is my apology to the One Piece fandom, I said I’d never watch a show that long bc it can’t be that good.

I was wrong.

It is very much in fact good.

Hopeless Devotion

Inspired by War Pieta by Max Ginsburg

This took longer than I'd care to admit, I had to start it over twice and then ignored it for a month lmao.

Something I have noticed is that so often in media and in real life, is that we push around this narrative that having a “dark side” or being someone who “you don’t wanna see mad” is a good thing.

If you have a “dark side” you’re dangerous, someone who could hurt others and be cruel, and that makes you strong. That being good in a fight, having the ability to be scary when your angry, those are things that push authority.

I don’t get it.

Why must being benign be seen as a weakness?

Being harmless does not make you fragile.

Violence and strength have been so interwoven to the point people mistake one for the other.

Being violent does not make you strong, and being strong does not mean you have to be violent.

One of the greatest ways to show strength not in a character but in life in general is to choose forgiveness (seriously, like watch ATLA and see how Aang shows great strength by forgiving others instead of lashing out).

Anger is a valid and real emotion that you are allowed to express, but it is not one that should be wielded as a weapon. Anger is a secondary emotion, morphed from pain and sorrow.

Anger is like fire. It’s okay to light a fire, as long as it is safe and contained. You can keep a fire in a fire pit going for as long as you want, just don’t burn a forest.

Do not fear your anger and do not use it to strike fear in others. Being kind does not make you weak, being forgiving does not make you soft.

Generosity, honesty, fragility with your emotions—these can bring you strength. To be open with who you are and how you feel is a tremendous feat.

It takes courage to cry, to ask for help, to forgive.

Know that being loving is not a weakness, understand that forgiveness takes strength.

It’s easy to kill a fly, but it takes effort to capture it and bring it home.

Glad Sanji isn’t real bc they wouldn’t be able to handle seeing I Saw The Tv Glow without at least 4 mental breakdowns

Naruto and Sasukes relationship has truly fucked with my mind

Like those two had a love that was palpable, raw and just honest. Naruto loved Sasuke for being Sasuke and Sasuke loved Naruto for just being Naruto. They loved each other clumsily, with white knuckles and sour words, they loved one another with curiosity and vigor. Watching their story unfold on the screen shatters my brain because they are without a doubt Soulmates. They would choose one another again and again in every lifetime, they would die at the hand of the other with pleasure and comfort. If destiny had one plan in mind they would turn the universe in their hands just to meet one another again, they would steal the sun and moon to get the other back.

If that isn’t love then I don’t know what is.

I like to think that Jayce and Viktor where just flung into another timeline and in that timeline they get to live out their domestic, inventors in love dream where nothing bad happens and everyone is happy

cannot believe that back in Alabasta when they were wondering around in the desert Zoro told Chopper that a new purpose had emerged for him but he wasn’t really sure how to explain it whilst staring at Luffy. and i’m just expected to be normal about that.

I need more Zoro/zolu fanart utilizing his three swords and his devotion, bc the imagery could be SOOO GOOD.

3 of swords in tarot is all about emotions, grief, pain, emotional suffering, but it can also be seen as a release. The three swords pierce the heart, eliciting emotions that may have been buried to bleed to the surface. It is a sign of sorrow, grief, but a pain that is welcomed.

And in Christian imagery, Mary is often depicted having swords piercing her/her heart, indicating the seven sorrows. It is showing the pain she went through that lead to Jesus’s sacrifice, depicting the grief a mother feels seeing their child suffer.

Now, Zoro’s devotion is tied to his sword style. His dream is intertwined with Luffy, making all of his training, every fight, every near death experience, and glorious victory dedicated to one man, his captain. Zoro fights because he sees Luffy as something greater than himself, greater than everyone else. With his 3 swords, he will claw his way to hell and back to save the man he calls captain.

Like, guys, THE POTENTIAL. USE SACRILEGIOUS ART TO MAKE THE GAY GAYER AND SADDER.

The swords have meaning, embrace it.
