Don’t Think Of The Blue Eyed Ghost

I, as a brazilian, am in accord with that statement

full offense but what’s happening in Amazon should be by law considered an act of treason against all of the life on this planet

I read chapter 1 and 2 and have many thoughts about Victor's childhood and personality. Sorry for the long post.

First of all, he's first five years of life were privileged and self-centered. At the time he was a only child pampered be his rich parents, never knowing hardship. Through the chapters, he talks about how his parents were never strict, how they were nice, good people, etc.

This brings up, again, the facts that he never experienced real consequences for his actions, don't know how the real world works - believing that in the end everything always work out if you try hard enough - and see everything through the egocentric lens that he can never be wrong, everyone else just can't see his brilliance.

We can see this with his initial pursuit of knowledge about the Natural Sciences. He became interested in alchemy and don't believe his father about the lack veracity in this studies. He persists in this journey to the elixir of eternal life, seeking fame, but never stops to reflect what this discovery could mean to the world in its practical application.

He just stops when after receiving irrevocable proof that his scientific branch is wrong. This first disappointment's already too much to his ego, and instead of just correcting himself, he completely abandons the Natural Sciences as if it personally insulted him and his world view.

You can also see Victor's egocentrism from how, even though we learn he has a younger brother, he never tell us his brother's name and he never features in his stories of childhood. This brothers existence challenge his belief of being the center of his family, the center of his everything, so, therefore, is discarded.

We could talk, also, about how his relationship and thoughts about Elizabeth differ from his relationship and thoughts about his brother. He don't see Elizabeth as his own person, or even as family, not really. Ever since his mother presented her as "a gift" to him, that's how he views Elizabeth. She is but a extension of Victor, how he sees her is just a reflection of how he sees himself She's, like him, perfect in everyway and, as his present, every compliment she receives is a compliment to him, his "owner". Because that's what we do with objects that belong to us, if someone says: "I like your bracelet" the correct responde would be "thanks", because this person isn't really complimenting the bracelet, but its owner.

I'm stopping here, thanks for reading.

I wanted to know how that close-up magic date would’ve gone down

the majority of one piece becomes instantly funnier when you remember how old the characters are

zoro, a 19 year old man letting this random 17 year old be the boss of him and deciding he would die for that kid after knowing him for like two days

robin, a 28 year old woman asking to join a group of 15-19 year old kids’ little pirate club and is basically their mom now

luffy is literally the 2nd youngest crew member next to chopper and everyone has to listen to him because hes the captain

It’s so messed up realizing the Elktaur is just as much the General as he is the Nowhere King; And that the General is just as much the Elktaur as the Nowhere King is. So when he’s singing that last lullaby before his death, keep in mind that’s also the General who is crying and accepting his fate, arguably, as much as it is the Nowhere King. And so I guess it’s easier to pity the Nowhere King and JUST him, while hating the General… But the Elktaur truly is both and thus the most mixed.

He suffered, but only because he himself was willing to inflict that suffering upon another, specifically himself; A poetically literal form of self hatred and cruelty. Karmic but also very much not. The Nowhere King’s tragedy came as a result of the Elktaur’s willingness to be cruel to another to get what he wants, and I am haunted over that. It’s easy to divorce the General from the Elktaur, but I really think one shouldn’t; And likewise, it probably isn’t a matter of the Elktaur being split into different halves, but ones purely identical in all but body.

The General did not take more conceit while the Nowhere King took more self-loathing, they were both equal and identical ratios of the Elktaur’s traits, the difference really is circumstance. And that’s gonna keep me awake at night, because it essentially is two AU versions of a character at war with one another; Like if there were two timelines where the Elktaur turned into just a human, or just an elk- And then they met!

when i first heard about tgcf i thought it would be a cliche romance between like moral xl who sees the good in hc even though hc has done evil things and like it would be like a bad boy/good girl dynamic. but then xl nearly wiped out an entire country out of anger and the worst thing that hc has done has been like. challenging gods to a fair duel x.x
