They made Souta a chair for 97% of the movie because they knew we'd all pass away from his beauty if they didn't
#suzume#suzume no tojimari#munakata souta#like seriously heaven help us all if we had that babysitting scene with the twins with his human form 😭#a woman's heart becomes weak your honor#men who pass the kids and animals check get all the green flags no cap no cap#but i did lowkey want to commit animal abuse bc i did NOT trust Daijin nope nope nope#madoka magica gave me trust issues man#i was having flashbacks#but anyway more towards the topic i was very ready for souta to be a jerk#and it's really too bad he wasnt because i did not need another fictional crush

The worst part about trying to figure out what Crocodile's deal is that because he's so fucking irredeemably evil in Alabasta... Like... Yeah he's just irredeemably evil. Like I love him but he did cause countless casualties, a ton of pain and suffering and literally attempted to blow up a million people
Like no amount of theoretical "trying to do it to save his son from the Government" or "trying to stop the Government from hurting anyone else" or just "doing it for the greater good" is going to make him any less of a mass murderer
But also Robin absolutely 100% helped with all of that shit simply because she wanted to read the Poneglyph for herself.
No amount of her intending to betray Crocodile from the begining and sabotaging his plans erases the fact that Robin also caused countless people to starve to death and die in the civil war. Her sabotages only succeeded out of sheer luck, and only spared the lives of the people at the final battle. She has the blood of countless innocents on her hands. Because she wanted to read history.
But her crimes were swept under the rug because she has a sad backstory and her sabotages worked out just at the nick of time by sheer dumb luck
So Croc??? Just??? Is there a chance??? At all???
But also he did literally intend to sell Buggy into slavery
Like, fuck Buggy, but jesus
What's also killing me is that we like. Don't know what Luffy thinks of Crocodile right now. Which really is like. The thing that will decide how we, as the readers, are supposed to feel about Crocodile. Luffy is our POV
Like we don't know what Luffy's opinion of Crocodile is after he helped save Luffy (and spared Ace once) during the Summit War. Like Luffy clearly fucking hated the man in Impel Down and the two interactions they had during the War weren't like positive (in the sense that Luffy himself didn't think of the interactions as particularly positive. Defending Whitebeard from being attacked once and then being like "wait what HIM?!" when Crocodile defended Ace. To be fair, in the midst of the chaos, there wasn't much time to spend on Pondering On Such Things because Ace needed to be saved, and Oda goes out of his way to not show us what's going on inside Luffy's head, because it's all meant to be out in the open anyways. Regardless, these weren't like "yay it's Crocodile! :)" moments for Luffy is what I mean)
But also Luffy was very grateful of Law for saving his life and was willing to put his trust into Law for their alliance- of course, they weren't explicitly enemies to begin with, rivals at most, but still. Luffy respects those who help him.
But also Luffy grew during the timeskip. Like he's not that clueless anymore (like he finally understands Hancock is in love with him etc), and similarly Luffy gets that Buggy is an absolute loser now. But also Buggy did also help save Luffy's life (even if it was by accident), and while IDK if Luffy is aware of that, I don't think that helped improve Luffy's impression of Buggy
So like. The fuck does Luffy think of Crocodile, at this moment? Even with the Cross Guild reveal, he didn't even really comment on Croc and just focused his energy on being confused about Buggy being "the leader" of CG. IDK it feels almost intentional or something, that we don't know what Luffy thinks?? Especially since we did get Zoro's opinion on Mihawk in the situation?? Or am I delulu??
(Sidenote. I'd love to know what Robin would have to say about Crocodile helping save Luffy's life. What Jinbei might think of the final words Crocodile left him with before blasting them out of Akainu's reach. But mainly just Robin's thoughts)
Like IDK my best guess would be that Luffy still hates Crocodile just the same but is like grossed out by technically owing him one??? In the classic
-kinda way, you know? And that he'd be just kinda confused about it?
Because I can't fucking imagine Luffy being like "oh we're cool now" with Crocodile, let alone "Yay Crocodile :) He saved my life!". But also like. Luffy does kind of owe Croc one. Kind of. And Luffy is usually very respectful of that kind of thing. Aaaaaaaa???
(Also does. Does Luffy even know it was Crocodile who yeeted him and Jinbei out of Akainu's reach to begin with. 'Cause he was unconcious. Knocked the fuck out. Does. Does Luffy even know. Did anybody tell him???)
I just.
There's the reasonable part of me that knows Crocodile is an irredeemable evil dickbag and everything he has ever said and done up to the most recent chapters support that. He is too far gone.
And then there's the absolutely delulu part that loves a tragic villian who gets a heartwrenching redemption that's looking for any fucking sign that could indicate Crocodile could maybe be one
#Moon posting#OP Meta#OP Spoilers#Sir Crocodile#Crocodad#Haunted by thoughts of one (1) evil middle aged man#IDK I was rereading Punk Hazard today while on the train and just. God there's like no difference between Alabasta Croc and Ceasar#I mean there is but no there isn't. Dude was doing essentially the same shit just this time with much more child abuse#And we all agree that Ceasar is scum of the earth and irredeemable.#But also he was doing everything PURELY out of self-interest without ANY sad backstory to counter balance it#I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ANYMORE MAN I AM LOSING MY MARBLES#Kuma Flashback I Love You but I need to know what the fuck is happening with Crocodile so bad pleeeaaase#There's also like that note about Kuma saying he'd be wiling to make a deal with the devil just to protect his daughter#And If Crocodad Real. What a greater evolution of that but being wiling to BECOME the devil himself to protect your child#Also sorry about the Buggy slander but also not sorry. All that man is good for is being a punching bag for comedy as far as I'm concerned#He's very funny I'll give you that. And I'm looking forward to him and Shanks getting married

I have a theory that Yor's poison tolerance is so high not just because of the assassin training, but also from all the trial and error she likely went through while foraging for food as a kid.
(I mean, her cooking is a given as a source of poison training but I personally think that she probably ordered out most of her meals once she started living on her own. But considering a lot of adults sometimes have difficulty determining which berries and mushrooms are safe to eat, I fully expect a child with limited resources wouldn’t know right away. And rather than chance anything with Yuri, she likely was the poison checker herself until she became more familiar with what plants are safe to eat.)
#i am desperate to see more of yor's backstory#what we have learned about it i expect it to be pretty sad#currently it's been seen in cute little flashbacks - from mostly yuri's perspective#and yuri is not exactly the most reliable source of unbiased information - he definitely has rose coloured glasses on#and i fully expect it to just hurt that much more because yor's such a kind person#she likely kept up the warm smiles and soft laughter even on days there wasn't enough food for both of them to eat#or she had gotten hurt doing her real job but needed to look after yuri#spy x family#yor briar#yor forger

I don’t know if I said it before (I probably did tbh), but I was watching someone talk about the Beast Yeast update and some old thoughts came to mind again
I don’t like what the White Lily split does for Dark Enchantress
Now I mean in theory, White Lily being split into two beings that represent different aspects of her, one being Dark Enchantress sounds cool. But my issue is, White Lily split into Dark Enchantress and…White Lily again. But like, less powerful, I guess?
Like it just makes Dark Enchantress look like some evil byproduct rather than an aspect of White Lily and one way she processed her trauma. Because this other White Lily is basically the same as the old one, same memories and personality. By all accounts she’s the real White Lily between the two, she’s the one that keeps basically everything as far as I can tell, other than needing to be revived. White Lily just has to defeat her evil self, that’s really it
Sure Dark Enchantress has all the memories and previous emotions of her old self as White Lily, but she’s not the true White Lily, or the one everyone refers to as the real White Lily after learning of the whole split thing. That goes to the new one
Sure White Lily considers the two of them the same person, but no one else does
I don’t know, I feel like it takes away the nuance and tragedy that came from Dark Enchantress once being White Lily. If the new half of White Lily was a different character who represented different aspects of White Lily but wasn’t really like the old one, I’d accept it a lot more, with them being the two halves that make up this morally grey character. But that’s not what happened. Dark Enchantress is just the evil byproduct of White Lily’s tragedy at the Witch’s Banquet
#I don’t know this is just how I feel about it#I get that they needed to release White Lily#they couldn’t not have her#but they can release flashback characters like young Cotton#and as we saw in the same update dead characters like Elder Faerie#they could do that with White Lily and have her character be fleshed out via flashbacks/secondhand info#or in part by this new character that’s aspects of White Lily#instead of taking away aspects of Dark Enchantress’s character#cookie run#cookie run kingdom#dark enchantress cookie#white lily cookie#personal opinion

Anyone else feel like Kaito is almost becoming a secondary character in his own manga due to the heists slowly becoming DC clones of figuring out the tricks going on instead of just letting the heist happen and staying within Kaito's perspective.
#Like. I do wonder how much better things would have been if all we got#Was Aoko talking about her mom. And then Kaito wondering what will happen#Him picking up on the clues /he/ needs to deal with her and Naka#And us not knowing exactly what he's planning nor seeing Midoriko until the heist#I don't mind the other characters being there but. I don't need to follow the detective pov in my thief story#The DC-ified heists I do think could be fixed by just. Keeping the focus where its supposed to be; for the most part#Back when Sun Halo came out I even said it would have flowed better if we purely focused on Kaito and Aoko#And then when Hakuba shows up at the end; do a flashback to show how he got there#It doesnt fix everything; but itd make the chapters a whole lot more palatable#(But I'm sure that'd mess up Gosho's chapter by chapter structure somehow idk)#I miss old Mk's stories where anything could happen but you're always meant to support Kaito

no I think it’s good when bkdks come together to literally question what’s going on with bkdk because sometimes we get wrapped up in everything we forget to take a step back so WHY did Deku lie to Bakugo about what caused black whip, why are Deku’s words/thoughts about it always unfinished, WHY have we not had access to what Deku’s thinking in so long, WHY did Deku severely suppress his emotions and cover his MOUTH with black whip before going into this final battle with ShigAFO?????
#I saw toadsbogblog post and started SPIRALING sfkdhdgb#I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HE’S THINKING#this is an extensive build-up and I’m so nervous…#I know some people think bkdk talked already and that there’s a possibility of a flashback but… even if they did SOMETHING WAS STILL UNSAID#because Deku wouldn’t be acting this way if he had poured everything out#and it’s like at this point WHAT could it be… is it really just ‘oh Kacchan’s the most important person to me and always has been’#or is it something else BECAUSE THIS SEEMS LIKE A LOT of effort to hide something that we already know?????#I’m really getting my stomach upset thinking about this please 😭#bkdk#dkbk#bakudeku#dekubaku#:’)

What is the antisemitism in TUC season 1? Does it have to do with Wally the golem?/gen
[ID: an ask from an anonymous tumblr user that reads "would love to hear more about the antisemitism in unsleeping city! was a while ago that i watched it and can't remember what you might be referencing but definitely want to be aware of it.]
no, it's not about willy the golem -- i actually think willy is a great addition to the season (even if i wish we got to see more of him), and an indication to me that brennan/the showrunners were definitely trying to be sincere and inclusive. i want to make it clear that i don't think anything antisemitic in tuc is there intentionally; i think it's there out of simple ignorance, which is also why i think fans don't frequently see/comment on it either. but i don't think that's an excuse, either.
my grief with tuc1 is largely centered around its portrayal of robert moses as the villain. especially by making him a greedy, power-hungry lich working en league with bloodsucking vampires. (also his mini is literally a green skinned skull man in a suit. yikes.) here's the thing; i know robert moses was a real life horrible person, who actually was racist and powerhungry etc etc. and i know that robert moses, the real actual person, was jewish. my grief with tuc1 is not that they chose to use robert moses over literally any other person (real or fictional) to be their season villain (though i'd be really curious to know what tuc1 would have looked like with a different villain), but that they chose to take a real jewish person, turn them into an antisemitic caricature, and then only barely add other portrayals of judaism to balance that out.
like, tuc isn't completely devoid of other jewish representation. as you mention, there's willy the golem -- and again, i really like willy, and i love that it's a portrayal of a golem that's faithful to jewish folklore (ie as a benevolent, guardian construct rather than a mindless destructive monster. i am not a fan of how 'golem' is so frequently misused as a generic enemy creature in other fantasy and ttrpg spaces, including other seasons of d20). but as i said earlier, i wish we see more of him in the season, because he's not around very much, and feels a little more like worldbuilding than a full character to me. also, he's not human. jews are people.
the only other human jewish character in tuc1 is...stephen sondheim. which, again, yeah, that's a real person who really was jewish. but i really wouldn't blame you if you had no idea of that when watching tuc1. maybe from the name you could guess he might be jewish, but i don't think people ought to make a habit of trying to 'clock' someone being jewish by having a 'jewish-sounding' surname. as he's portrayed in tuc1, you'd never know he's jewish, unless you happen to already be pretty knowledgeable about the man in real life. it's far more likely you'll know him as a theater legend than anything else (may his memory be a blessing).
now i'm not saying that brennan or the showrunners should have played up the jewishness of Real Person Stephen Sondheim to counterbalance the depiction of robert moses; that just feels weird to me, especially considering that sondheim was literally alive when tuc1 was filmed and released. it's a tricky thing to portray real people in fiction alongside made up characters, especially when they are contemporaries, and i don't think 'outright caricature' is the way to go about that. nor do i think that moses' jewishness should have been played up at all, because again i don't think that would have been particularly true to the person/character, and also Fucking Yikes. but, c'mon, if you hear the names 'moses' and 'sondheim' next to each other, which one do you associate more with judaism?
and as it stands, these are the only representations of judaism in tuc1. one admittedly nice but very minor nonhuman character; one human character you'd never be able to tell was jewish; and a third human character who, while never explicitly referenced as jewish, plays into some really hurtful antisemitic stereotyping. and it was a choice to not include anything else. maybe not a deliberate one, probably more likely one made out of simple ignorance than anything else, but a choice nonetheless. in a city with one of the largest and most visibly jewish populations in the country, and a culture that is inextricably influenced by that jewish population. a jewish population which has been and continues the target of rising hate crimes for years. i know that nyc means different things to different people, and everyone's nyc is their own -- but my nyc is jewish, and it sucks that that its jewishness is referenced directly in only one very minor way, which is greatly overshadowed by its, in my view, really insidious indirect references.
i don't know exactly how to go about addressing this. obviously, the show can't be changed by now. even if it could, i think the final product would be very significantly different from what it is now if the villain was something/someone else. i think including more references to jews in new york, more (human) jewish characters, hell, even mentioning hanukkah celebrations and menorahs in windows (it takes place in late december, after all; depending on the year it's not at all out of place for hanukkah to coincide with xmas!) would help. having literally any more positive jewish representation in tuc1 would, i think, help balance the bad stuff that's there. because, yeah, robert moses was real and he was terrible and he was jewish. but he's one jewish guy in a city with over a million jews, the vast majority of whom are just normal people. i don't want him to be the only vision of us that people get, in tuc1 alone or in any media. i'm not saying that jews can't or shouldn't be villains in fiction; but especially if you are a goyische creator, you should be really careful in how you're portraying us, and if there are other contrasting depictions in your work, too, in order to not (even accidentally) demonize jewish people as a whole.
#sasha answers#anon#unsleeping city#the unsleeping city#long post#sorry for not putting this under a read more but i think people ought to see this. or at least#if two people felt the need to ask me about it then at least they would want to see the full thing uncovered#also fwiw i do think that they tried to address this to some extent when they made tuc2#with more scenes with willy (and incorporating more golem folklore with the animating word in his mouth -- nice touch!)#the jewish immigrant family in the photo flashback encounter (even if the hanukkiah in the picture isn't exactly kosher lol)#and ESPECIALLY rabbi mike. i ADORE rabbi mike. i think he's a WONDERFUL addition#i do still wish he was a more important/prominent character. cause again he isn't in it all that much.#(and he's still like. the only new jewish human character in the campaign.)#but i recognize what he represents and i am happy about it#i do think brennan & the d20 crew tried to improve after tuc1. i do. i see their efforts and i applaud them for it#but still to my knowledge they haven't ever directly addressed the errors made in season 1#and it's extremely rare that i even see other fans mention it#and like. sorry but i am tired. i am. we deserve better. we deserve portrayals in media that show us as People#not just as evil monsters#anyway you're welcome to rb this but be cool in the notes esp if you're a goy#other jews are welcome to (respectfully) disagree with me if they want#also if you so much as mention the word israel on this post you're getting blocked end of

I need a Donna centered story where she sees Dick and Roy under attack, and she desperately fights her way over to them because they're both human dammit and these attacks are coming in hot and heavy, so she needs to get to them now because she can be their shield.
But before she can get over there, there's a bright flash that swallows Dick and Roy up, and they both disappear along with the light. The enemy starts to retreat and she grits her teeth because she knows they have Dick and Roy. She knows they took them from her, and she's not going to stop hunting them down until she has her boys back where they belong 😤. And I just think it would be fun if we got a "I'd go to the ends of the earth for you" Donna adventure story.
#the girlies could come along if they wanted of course. we love a donna kory and raven trio. and then vic could provide tech support.#and we would also get plenty of dick donna and roy flashbacks#like it needs to be made very clear that she loves her boys so much and they equally adore her#Donna Troy#Dick Grayson#Roy Harper

Was browsing ebooks on Libby, clicked at random on a romance novel, and words fail to describe my disappointment at reading a plot summary that begins with "Lucy has been writing her dissertation on Sappho for nine years when she and her boyfriend break up" and then goes on to reveal that the "eerily attractive swimmer" she is "entranced" by, a character described by the summary as "a figure of Sirenic fantasy," is, in fact, a merman.
#if you are writing a blurb for a straight romance novel#the first thing we learn about your heroine cannot be that she has dedicated years of her life to sappho#it's like how in 1q84 aomame is supposed to be straight#but her very second scene has an extended unprompted flashback to sexually experimenting with her female best friend in high school#you need to set people's expectations correctly!#idle musings#walrus consumes media
