Why Luffy wants to ring that bell so bad (Skypiea)

I think I forgot to share that thought here. I couldn't find in in my history.

When I first saw and read Skypiea, when I read it on my recent full reread (3 years ago?), I found it weird how much Luffy wants to ring that bell.

For him in that arc, it's more important than taking revenge on Enel for Conis and her father, even if they fed him. And for Luffy that's saying something.

So I wondered why he found signaling to Montblanc Cricket more important than anything else at that point.

But then, recently, I realised. What Luffy heard from Cricket's story was : "I am being hated and shunned by the world because of who my ancestor was." That is all. That is it.

Cricket is destroying his health trying to win that fight. Of course Luffy would want to help.

If only helping Ace stop to self destruct in his battle with his ancestry was as simple as ringing a bell.

I now understand the urgency. Luffy HAD to ring that bell.

I hate how 3 pm is so close to 2 pm so there's an illusion that there's still time left in the day to do things but in reality 3 pm is also close to 4 pm and if it's close to 4 pm you might as well just wait till tomorrow. <- can't argue against this by the way.

i hate when apps know that i’m screenshotting something. when i screenshot something, that’s me acting outside your realm of understanding, app. i am beyond what you consider the observable universe. you’re not supposed to perceive me. we don’t know when god screenshots the earth. we don’t know when he’s like, “okay i’m just gonna take a pic in case i ever want to add dinosaurs back to something later and don’t remember how.” and if we did, we wouldn’t act all smug about it like, “hey, you wanna share that post? you could just click here to share it.” no, man. you didn’t catch me. i screenshotted this for my own reasons. what’s next? i can’t take a photo of my computer screen with my phone out of laziness without being shamed by the printer i don’t own?

i wish i knew how to convince everyone online that the only way to stop what is happening and prevent it from happening again is to engage in an extremely serious, generational political project that operates outside of any specific issue or identity and will require extraordinary discipline, working alongside people you don't understand or even actively dislike, and building a vision of what power for good actually looks like rather than what it doesn't look like but i don't know how to convince people of that and i don't believe in social media activism with the types of platform i personally have as an effective lever for change so here we are

guys did you know the tech in that nefangled machine revolutionized preemie healthcare

[maimonideznuts]

[pusheenthenerdcat]

yeah the guy who invented them made incredibly precise infusion pumps (as opposed to gravity fed ivs) which not only meant they could give medications to teeny tiny babies safely, it's also used for insulin pumps and portable dialysis machines. the key element is that it's a peristaltic pump so the liquid stays in sterile tubing for safety

(unholy drink cloaca uses it to dispense precise amounts of flavored sugar syrup)

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

Aro and ace activism is housing reform, is well-funded public housing, is an expansion of affordable housing, is allowing single people to get affordable and public housing, is rent controls to make it possible for single people to be able to afford to live alone on a single salary.

Aro and ace activism is healthcare reform, so that no one needs to rely on a spouse for health insurance, so that healthcare is available to everybody regardless of income, so that no one’s lived experiences or basic dignity are dismissed or overridden by doctors

Aro and ace activism is well-funded and expansive public transit, so that you don’t need to have someone on hand to drive you places if you are incapacitated, so that you don’t have to pay for an ambulance if you need to get to the hospital quickly

Aro and ace activism is disability and elder care services, so that no one needs a spouse to care for them, so that no one needs children to care for them, so that marriage is not a bind for disabled people, so that people on disability who want to and can live alone can

Aro and ace activism is community-building, it’s public events, it’s free social activities, it’s mutual aid, it’s activities that bring community members together without socializing relying on just a romantic partner

Aro and ace activism is developing a culture of believing when people tell you who they are and what they want rather than assuming you know them better than they know themselves

Aro and ace activism means a better world for people without “normative” desires or “normative” social support, which means a better world for everybody

[specialagentartemis]

#isn't this just aro activism? like op is right but this is like. about relationships

Quick question do you think ace people don’t have a complicated relationship to relationships. Do you think ace people don’t have a significant incentive to not tie basic quality of life things to having a partner and children. Do you think ace people are respected by doctors or society.

The reason most indie novels are written like the author is terrified of doing something wrong is because the overwhelming majority of indie novelists get their start by networking in the violent panopticon of the social media indie publishing community, which favours the people who are able to win at the social policing game.

Okay so this comment got me googling because I hadn't heard of Isabel Fall

And if you also hadn't heard of her go read this because uhh... Holy Shit

[headspace-hotel]

I had heard of the whole messed up situation with this story, but I hadn't ever read the synopsis of the story before, and WOW

This story sounds like it could have been a brilliant exploration of gender and warfare and violence but instead it was attacked by people who didn't know how to confront a story that made them uncomfortable, and the author faced horrible consequences.

It's so important to be able to deal with stories that give you uncomfortable feelings in other ways than just attacking it. Being shown new perspectives sometimes has feelings of discomfort because it's an unfamiliar way of seeing the world.

Holy shit.

For the love of God, please read this story. It is so fucking good in ways that I can't even begin to articulate.

Shout out to Aziraphale and Crowley for being such a great example of enemies to lovers despite having never been enemies or lovers

[soloorganaas]

that post that's like. fans have got too used to acting as stakeholders. media analysis is about the narrative intentions not a checklist of what fans want. i think criticism of the finale because it didn't include specific elements we wanted to see is separate (if sometimes intertwined) from whether the narrative worked overall. because as an overall arc it makes sense. from the start they wanted an earth where humans could live their lives free to make their own choices, without interference or pre-determined rules and plans and divisions into heaven and hell. crowley believed the system couldn't be fixed, aziraphale believed god could be reasoned with, and in the end they were both right and they both got what they wanted: a chance for humans and them to make choices that were true to who they were. for crowley and aziraphale that was choosing each other. it always would be

Ok, this has a VERY specific target audience, but can we talk about how Brooklyn 99 and Gravity Falls go GREAT together??

Not only is it the same sense of humor, but the dialogue is totally interchangeable. For example:

(Dialogue from B99 but with GF characters)

Ford: crap, I left my gun back there

Stan: we don’t need your nerd gun. I have a lighter ok? I go hairspray, we can make a flamethrower. Let’s fry these bitches!

Ford: no one is frying any bitches!

(Dialogue from GF with B99 characters)

Jake: in case you haven’t forgotten, the Vulture is the worst. And that’s not just jealousy talking, I would say that to his face!

The Vulture: I need your help

Jake: you’re the worst.

Anyways, maybe my ADHD brain has gone too far with my two favorite shows. But maybe there is a reason I love them both so much.

Hopefully this post finds the right people.

What I enjoy most about the Great Divide is how complicated it let's itself be. It's about a man who got famous from writing about the sadness of his upbringing, his town and the people in it. He commodified his trauma and made enough money of it to be able to leave. And yet leaving doesn't save him, the opposite. He misses his community so dearly, he wants the best for them, but it can never be the same again and it also isn't the same anywhere else. Staying or leaving, it's a push and pull and none of it will ever feel right and that's the divide he will have to live with for the rest of his life.
