Consumed by the thoughts of namivi and zolu again (vivi and zoro specifically)
Thinking about them begging with both hands, knees, and head on the ground for the sake of someone else...
Idk but vivi's literally a princess, but the way she's willing to beg for nami's life is something that really touches my heart??
She was injured at that time (one of the citizens shot her and well... she was kinda bleeding), but getting hurt will not stop vivi from prioritizing nami, and im not okay??
She even called luffy out for his recklessness, how as a captain luffy must prioritize nami's life first, and how fighting recklessly can't always solve everything.
Honestly, she just wanted nami to get better soon:')
(In zoro's case the 'begging for the sake of someone else' part is more indirect(?), but we all know at that time he wouldn't have begged if it wasnt for luffy's sake, so...)
Zoro... what should i even do with this guy? I don't think i can separate 'pride', 'ambition', or 'dream' with roronoa zoro.. but after the whole marineford situation, he threw away his pride and he begged his 'rival' to teach him.. even after mihawk told him that he was disappointed in zoro and he questioned his shame/honor, and how it was painful to watch zoro beg like that... but in the end, mihawk accepted his request and even figured out the reason behind zoro's peculiar request.
"It would seem that you have found a greater cause than your ambition"
"Men like you will only ever choose to abandon their pride when it is for the sake of another"
Yeah luffy is now more important than his ambition, becoming stronger for luffy is far more important than his pride, wbk, why am I still losing my mind over this??

Hey if you're a white person (as I am too!) and reading the stuff about End OTW Racism (@end-otw-racism) is making you uncomfortable CONGRATULATIONS THATS THE POINT bipoc have been uncomfortable in fandom for decades and some of yall can't face being uncomfortable for five seconds and still have the gall to have shit like BLM in your descriptions.
Put your money where your mouth is. Be uncomfortable. Actually read what they're talking about and what changes they're proposing instead of jumping right to BuT wHaT aBoUt My DaRk FiC (they want to protect your dark fic and help ensure you're safer from harassment over it!)and ThEy'Re PrO-cEnSoRsHiP (they are explicitly not).
I'm so fucking tired of having my posts and those I reblog on this topic largely ignored on my personal account, but ESPECIALLY I'm furious about how ignored posts on racism in fandom are when I put them on the danmei art sideblogs.
I see racism every single fucking DAY as part of running those accounts. This isn't some nebulous thing happening elsewhere, this is us!
If you don't care, I really need you to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself WHY DONT I CARE?
Because YOU SHOULD FUCKING CARE.

just experienced sleep paralysis for the first time but didnt make the connection right away cause i always thought it would be super distressing and scary
in my case i just woke up and heard pitter patter and rustling paper like something small was walking on my bedroom tiles and going through my project notebooks
couldnt breathe and it was impossible to move and turn on the light, but i thought i was still too sleepy so i was just mildly pissed at myself as well as the idea of something messing with my stuff!!! then i could suddenly breathe again and saw it was nothing
