The thing that gets me about history and humanity is that you never know what is immortalized, and the things that will be immortalized are things you would never think.
I saw a person sharing a new tattoo, and it was one of Onfim's drawings. A boy who lived so long ago he is barely a blip now, but his drawings meant so much to people that somebody is now permanently marked in their skin with one of those drawings. Do you ever look at the things you make and just sit there and wonder if this is the thing that future people look at? Do you ever look at your art, your writing, your schoolwork, or anything that is yours and just wonder who will find it, who will fall in love with a piece of your humanity and become overwhelmed with emotion over? It's not unlikely. It's not totally unlikely that somebody will find a piece of you in the distant future and devoid of any other context of who you were will still love you because you were here. You were here, and you are still here, even hundreds or thousands of years later. Treat yourself with the same love that so many have for dear Onfim.

Going to start wearing a sign that says "I don't yield to ableds" as I refuse to move for the people trying to get on through the accessible bus entrance/exit before I've gotten off.
Be disabled. Take up space. Demand your accommodations. Make them wait, make them move, and don't feel sorry about it.

Opla Sanji is perfect. Nothing else to comment. That man did an amazing job acting as Sanji.
The anger issues? The immediate switch when he sees a woman? I have never seen a real life person who does the heart eyes as perfectly as he does. He embodies Sanji and translates him from the manga/anime to a point where you can see Sanji's entire past playing a part on how he behaves.
What a blessing to have a live action full of love and commitment and professionalism.

When I say that the scene of Mihawk cutting Zoro felt empty, I was talking about this:
So much love and noise for Zoro, even from total strangers. He was a celebrity on the East Blue!!!!! The praise? The nicknames? The respect that his name carried? It all came from other people who heard of him and admired him. There's no silence while he falls— on the contrary, the world around him is in anguish.
The manga panels give you a feeling that Zoro had a life outside of the straw hats. He also had an important reputation, he was someone before he found Luffy. Those little reminders make it even better to see Zoro swear he would make his dream come true to make Luffy proud too. He's leaving all of that behind for his crew!!! Through the story we're told several times just how amazing Zoro is and how he picked Luffy over all the chances he had to reach for greatness!!!
Luffy started screaming like a madman because that is the first to join his crew!!! That's his first mate!!! Usopp was calling Zoro's name. The Zoro he knew was bold and impossible to bring down just like that... and yet... Yosuke and Johnny were completely desperate, watching their hero going down. Even Sanji was moved, shocked to realize Zoro hadn't been lying when he said he had put his life on the line the minute he resolved to try and become the best swordman in the world. The scene marks Zoro's resolution: he's made of the stuff that inspires others to raise and follow their own dreams, just like Luffy.
For me, the live action scene is colder, lonely in a way I can't explain. Zoro does what he does not only for Kuina, but for the people who know and respect him (like Yosuke and Johnny) and for the ones he has made a promise to (Luffy). Zoro has a singular goal, but not a singular dream. Becoming the best swordman in the world is thee step, but not the end of the line. He needs to live to reach there and then, he needs to live to fight alongside Luffy and the straw hats.
The live action showed barely the basics of what went on during the first Zoro and Mihawk fight...
That's so far my only complaint about opla.
