Oh fuck I'm sobbing 😭. This is way too real. Thank you, Oda, for keeping me going 💜

Fact 1 - In MtG, Eldrazi are nigh-unkillable otherworldly titans capable of traveling between planes bent on perverting and destroying any plane they come into contact with.

Fact 2 - The meta narrative of MTG is that you, the player, are a planeswalker and all the creatures in your deck are actual representations of in-universe creatures you summon to do your bidding.

Conclusion - Every Eldrazi player is a fucking maniac who summons an unstoppable elder god to win a fist fight.

Spreading Narrator propaganda

I wonder if some of the people involved with the prison decided not to torture level 6 because it seemed like torture wouldn't accomplish anything, not even cruelty. Guys on level 6 are the type to endure Impel Down's "baptism" without flinching. After a while of getting so little response out of their torture targets, perhaps they decided it was more trouble than it was worth.

they're tortured at least a little bit, since we're introduced to Jinbe after a visit from one of the beast jailers.

I have a hard time believing that Impel Down and the WG would choose the less cruel option just because its not as effective. Thats very much not on brand.

If I had to guess, I'd say that is might be because it was easier for Oda to wrangle rhe logistics of the arc if the Level 6ers weren't in a literal hellscape like all the rest. In-universe I have to believe that they think its truly a worse punishment.

Personal headcanon for Level 6 is that its basically a big Oubliette. If youre one of the new prisoners you get lots of attention and torture, but as time goes on you get less and less until youre basically left to starve. Which while not as extreme a previous levels fits the idea of it pretty well I think

being a scavenger animal must be so fucking great. imagine if every time someone died a new restaurant opened up downtown.

This sentiment is the logical extreme of what Bellemere said back in Arlong Park: That if you make it through the bad days, the good will surely come. For such an optimistic series, One Piece doesn't shy away from the horrors that people can experience, but by striving and clinging on to life it presents a world where happy endings are possible. Brook literally died, and yet he's still happy and thankful that he kept on existing to the point where he had a chance to meet Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates. The shittiest life imaginable is still life, and that's something that's worth clinging to.

A lot of what Iva says during this chapter adds to Oda's theme of romanticizing life, as best seen in Thriller Bark with Brook. If Brook exemplifies the joy of life itself, Iva focuses on the need to fight and scrap and get dirty for the chance to keep living in a world that likes to kick you while you’re down

i like the phrases "it's not for me," "it's not my thing," and "i'm not the target audience" because they're the most concise way to express "this thing that you enjoy has merits but idgaf about it" without being aggressive

[ritikajyala]

There'll be a moment when you realise you're 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn't be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don't talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom's burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won't be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37.

girl help the pessimists found me

[phoenixichi]

"girl help i am staunchly refusing to realise my own naivete in a world almost completely made up of things that couldnt care less about me or are actively exploiting me"

[tiefling-enjoyer]

[that-house]

Girl help the pessimists are mistaking an inherently meaningless universe for an inhumane and joyless one rather than recognizing the opportunity to make one’s own meaning and joy and to spread those things to others

I still can’t believe Ivankov is a real character. Like, he’s queer. They’re an armed resistance fighter. She went to jail for crimes against the government. He started a secret drag club there. They’re canonically the queen of the queers. They survived the hunger games. He has blackmail on one of the former warlords and is the sister-in-law of another. They use all pronouns. She uses no pronouns. Their gender cannot be contained by a single pronoun so vhey made their own. They canonically go to war on high-heels, acrylic nails and fishnet stockings. He’s the human embodiment of HRT. They’re the trusted friend and ally of the most dangerous man in the world. She can literally command armies. There’s an entire island of queer people who’ve sworn loyalty to him. They fear no god they ARE their own god absolutely amazing character in a shonen manga 10/10 will never be replicated again HEEEEE HAW!!!

propaganda i am not falling for:

always moving on. some goodbyes need to rot a little. some griefs need to be held in the mouth like a stone.

beauty defined by algorithms. beauty exists in crow feet and smile lines

pretending to be chill. i’m not chill. i care deeply and inconveniently. i read into things. i write poems about eye contact

beige apartments with no soul. give me bookshelves and incense and loud art

sneaky links and unclear intentions. i want devotion. and also clarity

treating books as decor. read them. dog-ear them. argue with them in the margins
