I'm sick of internet negativity, so let's combat it: reblog this and saying something nice/pay a compliment to the prev in the tags.

guy who is seriously going through the horrors of being fifteen

Ace wakes up on a random island two years after his death as a ten-year-old. But he has no memory of his adult life. Sabo just died, and he has a little brother to look after. Or maybe an older brother?

There is a bit of time between Ace waking up and Luffy finding him.

Sorry this is so long I'm still trying to figure out how to do comic-y things.

Part two

Do people realize that Israel is so unrestrained that it’s now launching attacks in Lebanon and Syria as well. Do people realize how little Arab people mean to these genocidal maniacs that they are now killing people in three Arab countries. Can genocide apologists pause their pure hatred for Arabs to at the very least admit this. Or are we going to pretend that Israel has a reason to be intensifying attacks in Damascus right now

Israel has killed more children in Gaza since October than in four years of worldwide conflict

I forgot that writing is very fun and that you're playing pretend. like all this shit and pressure about craftsmanship and art! NO!!!! you are a grown up playing with dolls! it is silly and you should have sooooo much fun pushing their heads together to make them smooch!!! or torturing them, which is what I did to my toys as a child, to the point where my mom thought I was going to grow up evil

Hello neurodivergent people. I was wondering if I'm just weird or it is common to not being able to learn certain motoric skills at the same time as my peers and learned them MUCH later

✨ Please reblog the polls to make them reach out to as many people as possible, but KEEP IT SPOILER-FREE to make people listen to the music with an open mind 💖 Artists and titles will be revealed after the poll's conclusion, check the original post for an update! ✨

Am I wet? Am I on my period? Did I pee my pants?- next on wtf is going on down there.

Thinking about Edward Elric as the Amestrian Military's specialest little unfireable boy

State alchemists can be fired for underperforming. We know this up front from the likes of Shou Tucker. And this makes a ton of sense from the homunculi's standpoint since the state alchemists are sacrifice candidates, and the homunculi would want to cull the weakest candidates and focus only on cultivating the strongest ones who stand the best chance of opening the portal.

........Then there's Edward. Who's already opened the portal.

There's no need to cultivate him. No gamble taken on whether he's good enough to open the portal. He passed the final test already. Graduated 4 semesters early.

And as such, has a free pass to do Absolute Fuck All.

And I'm imagining how funny this is from like an outside perspective.

Some newish state alchemist who'd only ever read up on the stories of Edward Elric, ready and excited to start their career of being paid handsomely with endless freedom to research and travel and do anything they want in the pursuit of science... surprised and confused to find themselves put on probation their first month for things like "ignoring orders." Which is, as best they had thought, a famous Edward Elric pastime.

Roy showing a slight bit of stress about his yearly state alchemist report, and Ed just snorting and rolling his eyes at Roy because every year HE just hastily does his on the train ride over (canon in the manga, a travesty it was left out of the anime) and it gets rubber stamped. Ed not realizing that other alchemists' reports get genuinely scrutinized and torn apart while Ed is free to turn in whatever absolute bullshit he thinks of 36 hours ahead of time. One year his report was about whether alchemy could be done via dance (conclusion: no it can't) and no one cared. Roy WANTS to tell Ed there's some kind of unknown favoritism around Ed making him literally bullet-proof but Roy has no way to phrase this that doesn't sound like he's just in denial and mad at how good Ed's train-reports are.

Guy from the Internal Amestrian Affairs sector who's responsible for auditing other internal military personel for any suspicious activity hitting about 1 million red flags for Edward Elric, issuing a STRONG and URGENT recommendation to suspend the alchemist pending further investigation into things like "literal bunk-buddies with two members of the Xingese royalty (enemy nation)" and "spent $10,000,000 of his stipend on a librarian to make her re-copy (what he seemed to interpret as?) military records in some extremely transparent effort to unearth state secrets (it was a recipe book but he was literally asking her about state secrets)" and "literally has never once obeyed an order, ever, not even once in his career, and is on public record having said 'I do not care about the goals and protections of the Amestrian Military. I am in fact only pursuing my own interests several of which are diametrically opposed to the safety and well-being of the governing body of Amestris'"

The issued recommendation is intercepted before it even reaches its intended desk. President Bradley himself has taken issue with it and denies it before a single set of eyes has seen it. The President's veto stamp is a terrifying hammer, used rarely, and it is now sitting on the auditor's desk.

The auditor sleeps with one eye open from then on out.

idk if its my vaccine fever but this page is making me cry so bad. hes just a lil baby. hes just a lil baby and his emotional responses are different from what the people around him expect but they're real and he's living them and experiencing them in his own way. god. god. this series understands autism in a way i've never seen expressed before.

You mentioned you like Stephen Fry! Be wary, he is a Yid and he is only friends with you to extract wealth, which is the primary objective of a Jew. He may seem nice to you but in reality all he wants is more sympathisers and your money. You can't trust a Jew as far as you throw it. No need to thank me, education on them should be mandatory not volentery. Dirty, evil creatures. Keep up the good work with the books.

Look, this is a bit embarrassing, but I’m afraid that I’m a fully-paid-up honest-to-goodness barmitzvahed-and-circumcised Jew myself. And while I would, of course, like sympathisers and money, I most certainly do not want yours.

Also, it’s spelled ‘voluntary’.

Happy Valentine's! Could we get anything Untamed or Sacrifice is Free? Thank you!! I love everything you write!!

Maria hears the gun go off and then she's falling to the ground, gasping with pain as she hits the sand.

"Hawkeye," Ed says, voice rough with sleep.

Maria forces herself up, glaring up at Edward. There's a chip on the glass doorway from the bullet. She can't believe he pushed her out of the way! Or she can, but she's going to hit him forward.

Riza's eyes narrow and her finger twitches towards the trigger.

Ed shoves his hand forward, a familiar glove on his hand. He snaps and an arc of fire erupts from his hands, hitting the gun and causing Riza to drop it as it burns her fingers.

"He told me what was on your back," he says while Maria keeps her eyes on Riza. Her expression shifts then, to something more devastating. It almost looks like hope.

There's the sound of running and then Denny is there, shoeless and with his gun raised and pointed at Riza. "Ed?"

He groans, running a hand over his face. "Read her in. I still feel like hell, I need a shower and ten more hours of sleep and coffee hot enough to scald."

"Are you sure?" Maria asks, pushing herself upright. "She did just try and kill you."

Ed waves a dismissive hand, yawning wide enough that his jaw cracks. "Lots of people try and kill me. I try not to take it personally."

"I would prefer if you took it personally, myself," Denny says, gun still pointed at Riza. Maria knows that he doesn't want to shoot her, but they've both done terrible things that they didn't want to do.

Better to do them for Edward, who's doing his best to end this war, than for those trying to prolong it.

There's shouting in the distance and Ed rolls his eyes. "I'll go deal with everyone panicking over a gunfire in the camp." He frowns, seriousness settling over him as he says to Riza, "Don't shoot my people."

"I was aiming for you," Riza says.

Ed grins. This is not something to grin about. "Yeah, I know. That's why I ducked."
