i was just thinking earlier about how, even though this might just betray me as being too romance-fixated (and i am! i really am! i know this about myself), shows really get soured for me when they seem to promise a 'this is the steady relationship of this show' kind of pairing and then they yank it away from you in the name of realism or whatever. roy/keeley from ted lasso and darryl/white josh from crazy ex-girlfriend are the two examples of this that really hurt for me. like, i get that maybe i'm just being petty and i should try to appreciate these stories about how love doesn't work out sometimes, but nope, sorry. i wanted them to be the supporting couple that made it throughout the series and i didn't get it and now i'm always gonna feel a bit less loving toward a show i once loved with all my heart! because ouch!

I think it's very interesting that Zoro lost:

One parent to illness (like Usopp and Sanji)

The other parent to pirates (like Nami)

One of his best friends to a confusing, senseless death he had to hear about secondhand (like Luffy)

And yet, he is the only member of Luffy's core crew from East Blue who doesn't let personal problems push him away. He is also the only one of the original five who never doubts his place in the crew or Luffy's abilities

Obviously each character has their reasons for their own crises. But Zoro is so much more well-adjusted and centered than people give him credit for

GOD they fumbled the bag so bad with bughead like are you kidding me betty is the ceo of mommydaddysister issues she would NOT be like oh juggy dont go to the southside :( think of me :( and all the boring heterosexual sex we could be having :( she and jughead would be glued at the hip and tilt their stupid heads in sync whenever anyone asked them questions and sleep in the same twin-sized bed for 18 years and never even consider fucking an option they just want to get into each others skin and live there until both of them die at the same time because they can't stand to live alone

If I ever disappear completely from Tumblr, I want all my friends to know that it's because I've tripped over my dog's stupid big rubber ball, fallen at an awkward angle because I'm carrying a laundry basket, or some other stupid shit, broke my neck, and died.

dai's not a wimp a real wimp and coward would run away from everything in life and never face anything but dai has the courage and bravery to push through even when he's at his most terrified and THAT'S what defines part of his chara strength in tandem with the (quite literally) transformative power of his love and kindness and strong sense of responsibility that readily reaches out to, touches and draws others beside him. only in the face of difficulty can true courage and persistence shine and that's daisuke character. guy who wants to get through it even if he has to cry. guy who cries extremely hard then still has the strength to keep on moving forward. guy with enough positive will to keep going even if he doesn't always know where he's going.

Oh these are gonna be fuuuuunnnnnn. https://twitter.com/disneybeat101/status/1678872877183934465?s=46&t=Clu10Yn9rE2t50Dw58nWXw

Sometimes my voice does exactly what I want it to and is completely free and open and I think "wow I could actually probably sell records or do concerts" and then other times I choke on easier repertoire that I've known for like nine years and it makes me want to die

yeah getting a zero weapon is cool and all but have you ever completed the aether tower dungeon as the last person alive with one heavily doubting guy in chat and one heavily encouraging guy hyping you up the whole 12 minute battle

“We may well see being like a child as being weak. Most parents look for the day when their children act less childish. But King Benjamin, who understood as well as any mortal what it meant to be a man of strength and courage, makes it clear that to be like a child is not to be childish. It is to be like the Savior, who prayed to His Father for strength to be able to do His Father's will and atone for the sins of all of His Father's children and then did it. Our natures must be changed to become as a child to gain the strength we must have to stand steady and at peace in times of peril. Here is King Benjamin's stirring description of how that change comes: 'For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.' We receive that change as we make and renew covenants with God. That brings the power of Christ's Atonement to allow a transformation in our hearts. We can feel it every time we partake of the sacrament, perform a temple ordinance for a departed ancestor, testify as a witness of the Savior, or care for someone in need as Christ's disciple. In those experiences, we become over time like a child in our capacity to love and obey. We come to stand on the sure foundation. Our faith in Jesus Christ brings us to repentance and to keeping His commandments. We obey, and we gain power to resist temptation, and we gain the promised companionship of the Holy Ghost. Our natures change to become as a little child, obedient to God and more loving. That change will qualify us to enjoy the gifts that come through the Holy Ghost. Having the Spirit's companionship will comfort, guide, and strengthen us. I have come to know some of what King Benjamin meant when he said that we could become like a little child before God. I have learned from many experiences that the Holy Ghost speaks most often in a quiet voice, heard most easily when one’s heart is meek and submissive, like that of a child. In fact, the prayer that works is 'I want only what You want. Just tell me what that is. I'll do it.'”
