I finally got to where Law first shows up in the One Piece anime and I can see why everyone loves him. I might end up loving him too ngl.
At the same time I know I'm getting closer to Marineford Arc and I'm not ready to suffer. I love Ace too much, yet I wanna keep watching.
One Piece why are you so good! But you also make me so emotional! Even when I already know what's going to happen!
Watch/Read One Piece fr, it's worth it.

Okay I do want to watch another episode tonight instead of just back-tracking to watch stuff from earlier episodes over and over and roll around in my feelings and yell about them at my partner
BUT (this is from Corridors)
Yeah yeah Horde Prime is evil and the actual villain of the series but the fact is: he could see into Catra's mind. And while obviously he sees affection/love/etc as bad things, he still nevertheless tells Catra (more than once) to her FACE that she still has feelings for Adora.
And yeah the feelings are often a mixed-up mess of envy and resentment, which comes out of Catra as anger and a need for revenge, and which Horde Prime accurately interprets as very painful for Catra--none of those feelings would be as strong without the love and grief under it all and causing so much of it.
It's a cliche but it's true: the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. And Catra might feel many things for Adora but indifferent is not one of them.
And it's just SO TELLING that after Horde Prime's next line: "Don't you want to be free of it?" Catra doesn't think "ha ha yeah that would be a relief lol"
She bristles and gets angry.
And then looks terrified
And YEAH obviously some of it is a logical reaction to being threatened with joining the hive mind.
But also she doesn't actually want to be freed from her feelings for Adora. And I don't know if she even knew it until that moment.

i’m just going to quickly dissect the moments that made me so normal about the scene with sanji and zoro in episode 1057:
- they decided to focus on zoro getting hit because he got distracted picking up the transponder snail. this just before he tells sanji to not bother him. but as soon as he hears what he has to say, he gasps. he’s shocked. it’s like his synapses just stop for a moment. and his reaction to the request “you must kill me” is to burst back, full force, and shout. which reflects how he feels about the request i think
- this is actually such an intense response that sanji has to call him back to reality right after
- zoro’s delivery of the line “you better not die till then” is not shouted as it appears to be in manga, but a lot softer yet still determined. which i think changes the tone of the scene and overall makes it a lot more intimate
- as someone probably already pointed out, what sanji says at the end of the scene is not your typical “thanks” as it was subbed, but in japanese that specific expressions means “sorry to burden you”. which reflects sanji’s personality a lot and his awareness that he’s not asking just anything out of zoro
- finally the parallel transition showing both of them with their back towards the viewer, hinting at the fact that they’re both looking at the future ahead of them and how they both know they will be facing it all together no matter what happens

I love animation so much. It's beautiful, the way one frame goes into the other and creates one whole flowing movement. It's tedious, yes, but I wouldn't have it any other way. The patience and love that runs through the animator into the moving image is something that is so profound, so indescribable. Animation, my love for you is so deep and knows no bounds that it transcends words
