It has long been known that Arcanists and humans differ in many ways, the former more emotional than the latter.
But the current event shows how those differences can clash. Spathodea is tired and resentful of humans slowly taking away things once exclusive to arcanists, and Ezra wants to modify the Uluru stadium to make it safer for human access, despite the Stadium being the only sports games for Arcanists.
Despite Ezra only meaning well, however insensitive it sounds, I side with Spathodea on this argument. She found the only stadium for Arcanists and Ezra is perceived as a threat to what is basically a hotspot of Arcanist Culture.

A idea with a darker approach but...
I'd like to see something about Zoro bringing everyone on the crew a head at some point.
Zoro and Robin have no issue killing. I personally like the idea of them actually enjoying it. I personally feel that every ship and every crew needs a few bloodthirsty people.
Sanji and Franky will do so if absolutely necessary. What qualifies as necessary usually depends on the situation.
Luffy doesn't usually see a point in it, more than willing to beat someone down as many times as it takes for the lesson to sink in, but he has his fair share of blood on his hands.
The other crew members aren't supid, they know all this.
By this point they've all killed someone, on purpose or accident, it's more who stays up with nightmares from it.
Luffy makes them ask for things. Zoro is the same. Asking for someone to die is something you need to be able to give voice to, otherwise you don't want it enough.
He won't go on his own, he needs to hear it, but they've all pulled him aside before and asked, "please." In fear. In hatred. In anguish.
And Zoro hums lowly, and disappears in the shadows.
He still carries the title of hunter and there's a good reason for that.
It never takes him long before he's back, a bloody bag in his hand that drips along the deck but no one says anything. Luffy catches his eye and whatever passes between them stays between them.
He drops it at the feet of whoever asked for it, like a cat bringing their human a mouse.
That's it. There's nothing else to say or do. Zoro said he'd handle it, and he did.
Sometimes the only people who even know who's head is in the bag are Zoro and the person who asked. And probably Luffy, because he always seems to know everything Zoro does, and Robin because thinking she doesn't know would be an insult to her.
The bag gets tossed over the side once confirmed by the person who asked for it.
Franky makes a big show of cleaning up the blood with wails about birds shitting on his ship. He drags Usopp into helping and it doesn't usually take much for chaos to break out.
Chopper follows Zoro around until he finally lets the little doctor causally look him over for anything that may need attention.
Robin smiles at him behind a tea cup and Sanji calls him something insulting as he walks by but a bottle of sake and a snack always find their way over.
Luffy clings to him, as long as he's not hurt, and they speak to each other the way only they do, without words.
Nami quietly drops his debt down a little in her head and Brook plays something soothing.
~
The day will come when Zoro asks them. Not a single one of them will worry about blood on their hands.

Am I in love with the idea of morally grey strawhats? Yes
Do I think everyone is low-key terrified of the strawhats? Yes
Do I think everyone should be high-key terrified of the strawhats? Yes

Something that came to my mind because of the chessboard Strawhat cover:
Tumblr media
I mentioned before the Strawhat's relations to demons/hell/monsters and their symbolism of being in opposition to gods/heaven, but this time it's interesting how multiple Strawhats already have a title somehow related to rule or ruling pieces - but it's always a little bit twisted, that trope is a bit flipped upside down.
Obviously Luffy will become the King of the Pirates, (but even Big Mom in one of the Wano flashbacks mentioned she would become the King of the Pirates - not a queen, so this particular title is probably always King.)
Luffy just wants to be that, and not rule in the typical sense of the word, or how their world understands that title.
Tumblr media
Then we have Zoro and his King of Hell title. (I think that's pretty self explanatory and i've talked about him before probably the most. (also smth smth, becoming the King for Luffy's and his dreams.))
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now we have Nami as the Queen on the strawhats chess board. Queen, which is the deadliest and a very important figure in chess (beside the King - and even there Oda broke the rules again - saying the 'King is the fighting piece', which usually it is not as much.) She's their navigator and the symbol of what they need to protect and how they let her move to attack in the best formations, in the most strategic moves.
Tumblr media
We have SogeKing, who is a veeeery similar to the character of Usopp, practically the same guy. (Even on the chessboard he's with bow & arrow as the SniperKing.)
Tumblr media
We have Soul King Brook. King of absolute slaying with his music!
Tumblr media
We have Jimbei First son of the Sea, which sound like important (ruling) title as well.
Tumblr media
With Sanji I don't really want to point at his family - the connection as Prince of Germa Kingdom connection, because he renounced that, but
Tumblr media
-he did call himself a Prince all the way in Alabasta. So, prince he is, self appointed, in whatever sense he means it. (And something very fun is how he trained under Emporio Ivankov, and beat Queen in Wano, both who are also interesting characters in the case of breaking the stereotypical gender of those titles/names).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nico Robin has one of the epithets 'Light of the Revolution', which I find beautiful. She's illuminating their journey with her knowledge, and at the same time her connections with the Revolutionary Army speaks about the breaking out of the typical roles as well.
(I couldn't think how it would be for Franky and Chopper, but they're kinda similar in the way they've altered their bodies. Franky building so much of his body, cyborg who had a dream to built the ship for the King of the Pirates; and Chopper, a reindeer with human knowledge of medicine to become the best doctor.)
Just to say that even when they're gathering these titles/names/positions, they're not meant in the generic sort of meaning. It's always looped around, broken out of the mold of how their (and ours) society views these roles. And that's what makes it their unique thing. Their way how they grasp their skills, the future and their dreams.

Things about Halsin that are rarely mentioned but fascinate me: he's slept with a Nelanther pirate which means he's either been to the Nelanther Isles (and survived) or to one of the ports a ship of theirs docked in, and he's firsthand encountered a haunted doll.

i feel so strongly about young sailors who join the navy and bite down their gay feelings and then join a pirate crew and suddenly it's… different
like just the contrast between lashes before the mast and court martial and "keep it down, we're trying to sleep"
especially when it's not just about sex but INTIMACY
like a sailor who's spent the past 6 years inwardly freezing whenever he goes to touch another man or another man touches him because he knows he Can't
and then being amongst pirates and its just so different, and even though he sees it's different, he doesn't quite internalise it
until the night another sailor crawls into his hammock with him and uses him as a pillow
and he's terrified for a second, but the other sailor is like, "you mind? Saw you watching me."
and he doesn't say a thing, but the other sailor leans closer, lays his head on his chest
he puts his hand in the sailor's hair
and just feels this other man's body against his and MELTS, and it's so good, everything he's been desperate for
sleeps like the dead
and it's everything he never dared to dream of

I love coming to appreciate a character more because someone's love for that character shines through so beautifully you can't help but appreciate them.

Welp, we did it.
A whole year on this site has been reached, and time flies by very quickly, doesn't it?
Throughout this time, I made friends, lost friends, did stupid and smart decisions alike, stuff you experience living on this planet.
Now, without further ado, here are my mutual friends I made on this app. These crewmates are in no particular order, so don't worry if your name is lower on the list than someone else- you are still valued irrespective of the height of your @ on this list.
>————————————————————————————<
Crewmates O'mine
@twanette, you are a friend I enjoy talking to dearly. Our conversations are open, honest and sometimes very deep thinker, asking questions, and enriching perspectives all the while. Even if the time of our friendship is shorter on a grand scale, it still feels just as long, and just as rich, as a long one.
@yanderehsr I enjoyed our roleplays together, and our semi-frequent discussions. You're a talented dude who doesn't give up, and knows when to take a break. Keep rocking on, man!
@yasemei, even if we don't talk much, you're a good person who is talented and very warm-hearted.
>————————————————————————————<
This list may grow or shrink by next year. So who knows? Lots of things can change in that time. And who knows, I may end up finding a new fandom, and new friends to spend time with. Now i just have to wait for Wuthering Waves to make its debut.
Anywho, happy 1 year birth blog to me and all. Adios!

Zarina: Do you ever think we're bad parents?
Hook: ...No.
Zarina: But what if-
Hook: Zarina I have a hangover and I don't need to deal with this right now, I'm still coming to terms with waking up on your couch for the filth time.
Zarina: Oh right...do you wanna talk about that? You know drunkenly asking me to take you back four times and one time proposing on the spot because you were too drunk to remember who I was.
Hook: That didn't happen.
Zarina: It did.
Hook: it didn't.
Zarina: What's with the Hook?
Hook: Peter.
Zarina: Makes sense....how?
Hook: I Would like to remind you my head feels like a truck hit it please refrain from questions.
Zarina: ...Kind of ironic considering your stage name huh?

"So a pirate walks into a bar, right? And he has his ship's steering wheel stuffed down the front of his pants."
"Bartender looks to the guy and says, 'you know you got a fuckin' wheel in your pants, right?'"
Tumblr media
"Pirate says: 'Yarr, I know. It's drivin' me nuts.'"

❝He is half of my soul, as the poets say. I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.❞

I take issue with how hot Live Action Shanks is.
Tumblr media
He's making me feel things that I did not agree to.
You're suppose to be like the dad pirate, not a pirate I would happily call daddy.
Stay in your lane, good sir! Stay in your lane!
