If you ever needed to know the extent of how the I/P conflict is fandomized, there is a popular post going around with a Sailor moon sticker saying Free Palestine and all the comments are talking about how it's their aesthetic and they totally need to buy it
Because this doesn't matter to them, it's just the cool hip and trendy thing

Played star rail and Idk if this was added in the newest update but HOLY CRAP CHARACTERS HAVE VOICELINES IF YOU PLACE THEM WITH CERTAIN OTHER CHARACTERS AGAKXHLAHX
I found this out when Welt jumpscared me with his voice when I placed him on my team with Stelle and I SQUEALED LIKE AGSJLXJALD THATS SO CUTE AWWWWW ❤️💕💞💖😭😭😭😭😭
Looked through his other voicelines and God,, he's the daddest dad to ever dad I love him so much absjcblaak 💖💞💕❤️💕
And like, the others also look to him for advice/rely on him 🥺🥺🥺
Tho I'm not sure why Stelle says this... Is it like a meta reference? In which she's reading the screen name? Honestly, I have no idea

shanks & buggy, and giving up on your dreams
before my latest reread/catch-up on one piece i had not given the history between buggy and shanks much thought, except to wonder a little how they went from this:
(in the chapter 19 flashback, set a day or so before buggy gets his devil fruit powers; they're at most 12 here.)
to this:
(a single panel flashback in chapter 434 to the day roger was executed; they're 15 here.)
like. what happened in the intervening (three?) years to make shanks think he might get a positive response to this request? and why is he making the request in the first place? he's the one who said they should go their own ways, originally.
six hundred fifty chapters later, we get a… partial answer. but not to shanks' side of the story.
(from the chapter 1082 flashback, of course; this panel is from an unspecified time, but it's beanie buggy so probably closer to 12 than 15)
young buggy (the littlest bug, omg ;~;) sees shanks' potential and gives up on his own dreams (of becoming the pirate king, i assume).
now, is it just that he gave up on his own dreams, or did he make a new dream out of shanks becoming pirate king? that isn't clear… but I think that must be what happened.
(more of the chapter 1082 flashback, a more detailed version of the flashback from 434; they're 15)
because after roger is executed, and shanks tells buggy he's changed his mind about going to laugh tale, buggy's shocked response and rejection feel deeply personal. but he digs up some ancient baggage between them to use as his excuse for leaving, rather than state his true feelings…
which suggests shanks didn't know buggy was so invested in shanks becoming the pirate king.
so. it seems to me. that somehow shanks became aware that buggy's goals had changed. but he did not know why, or what they'd changed to. just that they were now (supposedly) compatible with his own.
at which news I imagine he thought: this is great! now buggy can be part my crew and travel with me while we both go after our goals!
🙃
this is just enough of an answer to make me obsessed. i have not been able to stop thinking about 1082 and its implications for weeks.

i think when talking about Shigure, it's important to note that he was constantly operating under the assumption that the curse would eventually break on its own. he saw Kureno's curse break with no outside interference, and he's spent enough time with Akito to know that her hold on the curse is greatly weakened. in Shigure's mind, the curse was on its way out: it could break in twenty years, or ten, or maybe even as little as five. his efforts are just a way to speed up the process so he can be with Akito quicker (and to save the other zodiac members but that's not really his big priority). so while he 100% took the most selfish route by catering to his own plans instead of helping the other zodiacs survive the curse, his personal justification was likely "it will eventually break anyway so all of the zodiacs will be freed regardless of my interference" instead of just "i don't care about the other zodiacs so they can go ahead and rot."

Marc Spector and Miguel O’Hara should sit down in a “guys with fucking wild guilt and isolation and anger issues portrayed by Oscar Isaac in a marvel franchise who have other guys with similar life and circumstances all connected to each other around them, alongside which they are making the worst choices and falling into a pit of spiraling self hatred and lashing out that they don’t know how to pull themselves out of” club.

Hello!
I stumbled upon your blog when searching for anything about Hiron Ennes’ book Leech and ur blog is so nice! I love Leech so so much and am hoping to find folks to talk about it with because I’ve been obsessed with it since I read it over year ago. I hope this isn’t too weird of an ask but it’s just such an excellent book!
hello and welcome, and thanks for your kind words!! it's delightful to find another LEECH enthusiast in the wild--what a deeply fucked up weird little book that has my whole heart!
i was actually shuffling books around last weekend to make space for what i'll read this year (i'm in a temporary living situation, so most of my library is in storage), and i decided to leave LEECH unboxed so i can reread it this fall. i'm obsessed with the POV and the voice and i'm VERY looking forward to a tear-it-apart reread now that i know some of what is going on. what a neat book!!
