I realized my disconnect when it comes to talking about one piece, and why I always say I like talking to dudebros more even if they're the worst... Is, I like to analyze literature. I like to analyze the source material and the canonic information. Shipping and stuff is for fun but I see it separately. The intersect bc canon inspires fanon but fanon CANNOT change canon.. I don't mix the two things especially not when I'm doing analysis... So I'll say things that are factual and ppl who are stuck in their headcanons or personal biases will think I'm saying something bad. What I'm saying isn't good or bad. It's not judgmental of the character I'm talking about. Nor is it a bias bc I like them/dislike them. I'm analyzing odas writing and his intentions as an author and what he's trying to say and portray. Most ppl online are too caught up in headcanons and personal bias while having no media comprehension and they think that I'm attacking their made up fanon stuff..... Noooo..... You're over there playing pretend and I'm over here doing analysis. We are not doing remotely near the same activity. They don't always need to intersect. Anyways it's hard to have genuine analytical conversations with ppl fully indulged in fandom and fanon. The only group of ppl who doesn't do that are dudebros but also... They get hung up on other stuff that doesn't matter too. Idkkkkkkkkk.

#ppl have said im an irl bootlicker bc i like garp #and that i think sabo is a horrible person and hate him bc i said hes a terrorist #garp is an amazingly written character #he has so much purpose and nuance #ace was used as a plot device to further his and luffys story #period #idc how much any of u like ace that doesnt wash away the intentions of the author #sabo IS a terrorist. by definition. so is luffy.#thats not me saying i hate them #canonically in the one piece universe #they commit acts of terror on large governing systems #luffy has left countries destroyed and in lawlessness bc they no longer have a governing system to oversee them #and just like most americans #theyd rather live in comfortable ignorance than be extremist and change the situation #and guess who takes care of them after luffy does this? not luffy #the marines.#oda is writing a story thats way too fucking smart for some of you #performative activist types who cant even fathom reading anarchy or history books #some of you have no ability to comprehend media in the least bit #im just tired of me analyzing media and ppl with peanut brains getting offended bc i said something factual and truthful #about their fave #when what I'm saying was fully intended to come across that way by the author #dont come and play dolls all over my analysis

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.
