brb tearing up about usopp disbanding his tiny lil pirate crew. 🥺 and the way so much of their village lowkey depended on usopp's lies to keep track of their days lol.
i love how usopp is this guy who's known for lying, and everyone calls them lies, but kaya and the lil veggie boys found so much happiness listening to his tall tales! stories are important, and can make you happy!!!
i also love how usopp himself isn't angry that his father wasn't there for his childhood bc usopp himself grew up on the tall tale of his dad being a brave warrior of the sea, but how important and validating it was to him when he found out his dad really is a pirate, and part of shanks's crew to boot. that yasopp out there living his best pirate life wasn't a lie adter all, but also how usopp probably grew up forcing himself to have faith in something that might not have been true, might have just been a dream, and how it relates to the way all of usopp's lies are kind of like dreams too.
idk, i think there's something to be said about how lies can be stories, and dreams can be stories too, and the truth of the emotions that lie beneath all of those things. that a lie with effort put into it can become the truth, how a dream necessitates effort to become a reality. i think it'll also be interesting to contrast this with sanji's dream of finding the all blue, and how so many people think its existence is a lie.
anyways tl;dr maybe beautiful lies can turn into real dreams. maybe if you pretend to be a brave warrior of the sea for long enough, one day you'll find yourself with a 200M berry bounty and a poster that calls you "god". brave warrior of the sea indeed!

Every few hours or so, I see something that makes me feel aggressively in love with autistic people as a whole and I just have to somehow deal with that and then like, remember I made tea.
I'll see posts from strangers that I never intend to follow up on or dig deeper into, and usually it's just, like, the simple things, like... bro, did you just see a photo of a train and then identify the exact make and model of that train down to the smallest possible manufacturing detail for no other reason than you could and you wanted to, bro??
I am in love with you, bro. I am kissing you on the mouth. I am picking you up by the waist and twirling you. I am serving you warm fresh butternut squash bisque on a crisp fall day in our backyard. I am cherishing you always, you beautiful son of a bitch. You legend. You fucking precious sunbeam of human life who deserved and deserves the best in this unnaturally cruel and dark world.
I am holding your hand through the years, bro. I am cradling your soul in mine through the long long storm until we've finally made it somewhere soft.
I will make this world soft for you. I will start with myself.
Your face is aging and yet you grow more beautiful each year. You give off your own light. Did you know that? It doesn't hurt my eyes at all. It is warm. I am proud. Unspeakably proud. The light on its own was always enough.
I watch every evening as the gentle sunset reflects its soft gold into your eyes. It never gets old.
I long for nothing more than to see you alive and at peace.
This is a thing I could never regret fighting for.
Oh my god I made tea

i havent fully formulated my thoughts on this but i think part of the issue with the last straw that leaves so many people frustrated (beside the obvious) is that blowing up the chantry is such a drastic act that its impossible to realistically treat the situation with any real nuance within the scope of the game. while the players are able to step away and recognise the reasons and lead up to it, its nearly impossible for this type of discussion to happen in da2 because it would be weird if the characters reacted to a building getting blown up and all the chaos that follows with anything other than shock and horror

Love your HCs <3!!! And your art!!!!!!!! Le Question: is Romano 99.99999% straight like Veneziano? What's his sexuality journey like? If you don't mind sharing your thoughts. Is it as weird as Veneziano's pre school BF then pussy for a millennium. Thank youu
FIRST) THANK YOUU MANAJW i always feel surprised when i remember it isnt just me and my 3 friends on da world wide web that like my stuff <:') ARIGATO! FROM ME! *points at me* TO YOU! *points at you*
Anyways now SECOND) i think romano knows he likes girls and actually is nice to them and tries to rizz them its just hes cringe fail so i actually think hes a total virgin whos never dated anyone ever bc hes so aids. i think he doesnt really see guys as an option not because of sexuality but more because hes too busy trying to catch a girl he aint even got TIME to think about other fish types we go one type at a time. like when he goes i would never date anyone in the g8 its not because theyre boys its because "theyre stupid and annoying and ugly and should kill themselves and one of them is my fucking brother" romano is a boy kisser its just that never gets addressed because he hates all the men around him too much. i also think he kinda likes the idea of a girl more than actually dating a girl because 1) he doesnt take into account that girls actually can fart (60% why he thinks theyre so angelic and wunderbar) and 2) he desperately wants to be popular asf like italy so hes like ITALY BANGS CHICKS EVERYDAY SO OBVIOUSLY THERES GOTTA BE SOME SECRET SAUCE IN THERE. but i think he never in his life ends up dating a girl because they all reject his ass bc he fumbles so hard and then prussia activates his yandere gene and he gets loyal asf (but still demented and terrible. basically nothing changes other than him no longer hitting on girls) so woooooo I THINK THE LABLE HE USES IS "normal" (he is anything except normal)
*read tags if u wanna see why i changed my mind. actually romano uses da lable
**drumrolllllll**
BISEXUAL! **judge gavel slams down**
SENTENCE: 10 THOUSAND HOT POCKETS!
