tumblr should add a "what the fuck are you talking about" button alongside reply, like, and reblog. you click the what the fuck are you talking about button when op is on some discourse they brought back from another reality that no one on this earth has ever heard of. and if a post gets more what the fuck are you talking abouts than reblogs op gets muted for 12 hours
why don't we just take bikini bottom and push it somewhere else
FAAAAAAAAAGG!!!!
Very fascinated by this Walmart shirt. Could they not use the actual phrase or something? It's not even specifying "when you're mean to me" it's just when you're mean in general this particular bunny gets hurt. She carries all suffering. This bunny experiences all evil in the world.

I finished the Alabasta arc of One Piece and it was PEAK. PEEEEEEAK.
Nearly every character got a chance to shine in a way that spoke to their strengths, and it was made all the better by Oda genuinely allowing them the space to solve problems on their own without the aid of Luffy. This was not the kind of anime arc where all the characters simply stall for time until the main character comes to save the day, this was a test of the whole cast's abilities that let each of them make a genuine impact in their ultimate success.
I was particularly captivated by Zoro's fight with Mr. 1 and his leveling up as a swordsman as a result. The breathing of the environment, the quiet contemplation before Zoro's finishing blow - a gorgeous way to depict his heightening attunement with his swordsmanship.
Vivi is also worth special mention as she was essentially the glue holding this arc together and I ended up really really liking her. She went through such a realistic journey of emotions throughout the entirety of the arc, and it came through astonishingly well how much she really cares for the citizens of Alabasta, and now the members of the straw hat crew as well. (I can only imagine there are thousands of people out there with that "X" as a tattoo on their arm.)
On Luffy himself, I found his development in this arc interesting as well, because for all intents and purposes, this is the lowest point we've ever seen him. At all previous points, even when the odds were stacked against him, even when he was beaten down and intimidated and put against increasingly threatening foes, there was never a doubt that he would succeed with flying colors. Now, for the first time in the series, Luffy is completely and utterly defeated by Crocodile before having to crawl his way back to victory. His initial defeat sticks in my mind so clearly, as Crocodile held him in the palm of his hand, and Luffy was helpless to do anything but beg and plead that Crocodile stop hurting him - that he stop hurting everybody. Luffy has never once been brought to this level of desperation, so it felt very significant. Because of his overwhelming natural strength, it's easy to forget that Luffy isn't a superhero, but a random teenage boy with a dream, but that moment brought that reality into clear focus. It sets a precedent going forward that Luffy may need more than just bravery and ambition to take on these more powerful foes.
The last thing I want to bring up for now is the sheer scale of this arc's story, because it is bigger - and feels bigger - than ever before. Oda uses a lot of clever devices to continuously remind the audience that this is a city-wide battle, and a kingdom-wide conflict. Whether it was the frequent switches in perspective, the maps and diagrams to contextualize the site of battles, or the constant murmurs of war depicted even when the source of the fighting was far off-screen, it was clear throughout just how big of a deal this battle was to an entire civilization of people, and the commitment to that adequately set the stakes and made me want to see an end to the bloodshed just as Vivi.
With excellent paneling and art, great comedy, and an engaging pace on top of everything else, Alabasta came together in a way that was absolutely awesome and sits as undoubtedly my favorite section of the story thus far. Oda is absolutely cooking and I can't wait to see where things go from here. I'm particularly interested in Nico Robin. What's her deal?? We know almost nothing about her but she's been super cool in battle and very mysterious in her motivations so far so I can't wait to learn more. Will update some time soon with more progress.

“Get a rat and put it in a cage and give it two water bottles. One is just water, and one is water laced with either heroin or cocaine. If you do that, the rat will almost always prefer the drugged water and almost always kill itself very quickly, right, within a couple of weeks. So there you go. It’s our theory of addiction. Bruce comes along in the ‘70s and said, “Well, hang on a minute. We’re putting the rat in an empty cage. It’s got nothing to do. Let’s try this a little bit differently.” So Bruce built Rat Park, and Rat Park is like heaven for rats. Everything your rat about town could want, it’s got in Rat Park. It’s got lovely food. It’s got sex. It’s got loads of other rats to be friends with. It’s got loads of colored balls. Everything your rat could want. And they’ve got both the water bottles. They’ve got the drugged water and the normal water. But here’s the fascinating thing. In Rat Park, they don’t like the drugged water. They hardly use any of it. None of them ever overdose. None of them ever use in a way that looks like compulsion or addiction. There’s a really interesting human example I’ll tell you about in a minute, but what Bruce says is that shows that both the right-wing and left-wing theories of addiction are wrong. So the right-wing theory is it’s a moral failing, you’re a hedonist, you party too hard. The left-wing theory is it takes you over, your brain is hijacked. Bruce says it’s not your morality, it’s not your brain; it’s your cage. Addiction is largely an adaptation to your environment. […] We’ve created a society where significant numbers of our fellow citizens cannot bear to be present in their lives without being drugged, right? We’ve created a hyperconsumerist, hyperindividualist, isolated world that is, for a lot of people, much more like that first cage than it is like the bonded, connected cages that we need. The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection. And our whole society, the engine of our society, is geared towards making us connect with things. If you are not a good consumer capitalist citizen, if you’re spending your time bonding with the people around you and not buying stuff—in fact, we are trained from a very young age to focus our hopes and our dreams and our ambitions on things we can buy and consume. And drug addiction is really a subset of that.”
— Johann Hari, Does Capitalism Drive Drug Addiction?
this is making me emotional
Stop playing games, stop watching movies, stop following football matches, stop listening to music... Leave them alone, even if only for a minute. Sit with yourselves for a minute and think carefully: Do we deserve to die? Do we deserve to live this life? If the answer is no, then do something for us. Either donate, participate, or do anything that makes us feel that you are with us and not leaving us alone in front of the genocidal criminals.
I am a person who wants to complete my education, and my life is very similar to yours. The difference is that I was born in Gaza, so I need you to contribute in any way so that I can live a safe life and protect myself and my family from death and malnutrition. I should not die at the hands of the Zionists. Please stand by me.
If you believe my fundraising campaign is for individuals and you'd like to donate and help more people, or if you simply want to help as many people as possible at once, my campaign has a large number of beneficiaries. You can donate here. My family and I need a lot just to survive.
While the world is preoccupied with its own distractions, my father has been in the hospital for four days, bleeding profusely after having a cancerous tumor removed from his bladder. Please don't let my father suffer. Your donation is our only hope for his treatment and survival. What we are going through today is unbearable for any human being. Please donate to us and help us. Please.

Yo! I just uploaded a short video reflecting on my time with the first Devil May Cry game! I'm pretty excited as I haven't fully scripted and edited a video in years at this point, so it was fun to delve back into that style of creation. Any criticism is appreciated and I hope you enjoy it :P
btw this is my updated personal ranking of the JoJo parts for now
Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable
Part 6: Stone Ocean
Part 5: Golden Wind
Part 2: Battle Tendency
Part 3: Stardust Crusaders
Part 1: Phantom Blood
Ok edit: I had Part 2 above Part 5 until I was really thinking about it and I think Part 5 has grown on me and deserves to be a little higher
