i just think objectively that he should be absolutely covered in waddle dees at all times.

I'm ILL about this. and your art style is . ohhhhh. speechless your color work and line work is like honey and i am a stupid little ant getting lost in it

I love the scene where Josie and PJ are arguing. Idk maybe I'm reading into it too much but the fact PJ is wearing their friendship necklace while Josie is wearing a necklace with her own name on it is kind of genius. Josie is finally understanding herself as an individual while PJ is still stuck on their identity as a duo like she's being left behind and she knows it! Bc at that point everyone in the group has already formed a bond but it's obvious PJ struggles to connect on a deeper and personal level bc she wouldn't have reacted that way about the group disbanding if she was secure in her friendship with those girls unlike Hazel who clearly is which gives her another reason to make Hazel her punching bag. The stupid passing statements she makes, makes her sooooooo interesting like we know she goes to therapy, she has a deadbeat dad, and her mom owns a business but I need to know more of what makes PJ PJ.

I need Bottoms 2 that's PJ centric with endgame!Pjhazel and cutesy established relationship!Josiebel where they just annoy PJ the whole time for being in a happy relationship while PJ is going crazy about Hazel

You know, 6am might actually be too early to watch a video of an actual, real medical procedure for adding plates to broken ribs just to write a quick paragraph for a fanfic.

^ his birthday today

i think most people are just so upset about how extreme the pervert gag had gotten especially when you factor in the line he says about being jealous of absalom which was definitely where i saw people start having an unfavorable opinion on sanji. it also sometimes feels so divorced from the kindness aspect. sanji however is still my darling baby girl. i do miss how prickly he was but taz is a nice version of the character :)

Yeah but that's what I mean anon, he WASN'T that in the east blue at ALL. I understand where the discomfort comes from, because yes there are things you can 'change' about his character to make him more comfortable to audiences later on, but east blue Sanji had NOTHING to change. He wasn't weird, he wasn't overly perverted, he wasn't gross in any sense. Hell all he did was dance around Nami and scream his love while giving her a flower in an over the top way. The live action completely watered him down and took away any kind of violent angst he had within the Baratie, literally smoothened him to make him 'nicer' and 'digestible' to the average person while pinning all of Sanji's anger on ZEFF??

The point of Sanji's original character is he IS ridiculous, he IS overemotional and he IS unreasonable at times. Because he's a teenager stuck in a small place who gets called a kid all the time - and he IS a kid due to being surrounded by nothing but adult men who are like, 2x his age. I totally understand people being like "Oh later Sanji makes me feel a lil weird" but we are talking specifically about East Blue Sanji. Genuinely if anyone says this live action 'fixed' Sanji I'm just gonna assume they either don't even remember what the Baratie was about, or they just want Sanji wiped of all his complexities and imperfections to make him the most boring, boy next door eye candy character ever. I cannot get over the fact live action Sanji says "We don't fight at the Baratie" like ?? Guys this is NOT Sanji he would not fucking say that 😭😭😭

Happy birthday Kuusuke!! (turns him into a .gif)

can you elaborate on the idea that “the only way to win wrestling is to stop wrestling“?

Loooove your analysis <3

Thank you!!

This is going to be a very long ramble while i try to get my ideas together, bear with me.

So, when I say that the only way to win wrestling is to stop wrestling, what i mean is like... fundamentally, in my opinion, wrestling is a tragedy. as a whole, the basic narrative plot of professional wrestling is extremely simple: a lot of people all want the same thing, and only one person(/team) can have it. So one of the rules of the fictional space, in kayfabe, is that the wrestlers will work their assess off trying to get something that most of them will probably never get (a prominent title reign), losing friendships and experiencing horrifying agony in the process.

Then, if you get it, it's inevitable that you'll lose it again. Part of why wrestling is a tragedy is that once a champion gets a belt, the tension underlying their story immediately switches to 'when are they going to lose the belt?' and that builds up until the point when they, yeah, lose the belt and have to start all over again. It's sisyphean. there's no win state where you get what you want and get to keep it.

And then.... career babyfaces who never turn heel are rare. So the chances that you'll make it through that process, over and over again, without losing your integrity and selling part of yourself to the devil are pretty slim! chances are a wrestler will face multiple betrayals, and commit a betrayal or two themself, so you're also going to lose relationships. the narrative demands it. if your medium is fake violence, every story is going to be steered into the ring--which means that every relationship has a nascent potential match inside it. some of my favorite matches have been between people who on some level really don't want to hurt each other, but who have no choice, because the choices they've made and the narrative rules of the space demand it.

Also, in order to keep the tension high, heels have to win. a lot. So a hero, in wrestling, is fighting a losing battle because they have to be in order for the fictional space to stay the self-perpetuating laundry cycle of drama that it is.

And then what? You fight until your body gives out and you get worse and worse until you're forced to give up. You are chewed up over and over again by a story that demands pain in order to continue. The mode of your universe is violence, so the only way to find peace is to leave that universe.

Wrestling is a competition you never actually win, because winning would end the story, and the story is bigger than you and scarier than you and it is being created, constantly, all over the world, by the collective will of thousands of people who may at any point become your enemy. if the thing that the narrative demands you want is nigh untouchable and will be taken from you, the only way to win is to want something else.

There's an old adage about how wrestlers should retire "on their backs," giving the win to new talent and passing some of their collected audience goodwill over to a rising star. Which is really cool from an industry perspective! but also it hammers in that the inevitable end state of a wrestler's career is loss.

Obviously there are exceptions to this. AEW's mentor system is actually a really interesting and innovative way to gentle the end of a wrestling career and allow for interaction with the fictional space without the narrative pressure. Of course, because the story must go on, we're probably going to see a lot more betrayals of and by mentors in the coming years. it's what the story demands.

if jamal goes to city i will be so incredibly disappointed in him
