the "fight" between zoro and luffy in whiskey peak remains the most ooc moment for both of them but especially luffy. Monkey D Luffy uttering the word "die" to one of his crewmates feels like the biggest level of character assassination and i still don't understand what Oda's intentions were with taking it seriously and not as a gag.

#whiskey peak #whiskey peak arc #alabasta saga #one piece #monkey d luffy #roronoa zoro #the concept of Luffy uttering the words die to one of his friends #like really...#if i learn he did it bc the readers wanted them to fight for powerscaling reasons i will get pissed

seeing vivi acting seductive and femme fatale (and failing bc she is so silly) for mrs wednesday in whiskey peak is so funny on rewatch , give my girl her oscar for best leading actress!!!

#i have forgotten how much i love vivi as a character she is soooo amazingly written #she even sounds unrecognisable than her usual voice she is a thespian!!!!#nefertari vivi #it's has been said before but i loved her team rocket dynamic with mr 8 #one piece #alabasta saga #whiskey peak arc #btw i am talking specifically about the anime #while i love the casting of charithra as vivi #you could not pay me to watch SLOPla

while i have grown to love op opening 2, it's kinda crazy how alabasta as an arc didn't have an original opening while Skypiea has two. Believe in Wonderland was the opening from Loguetown till Alabasta that's crazy 😭

#The moment strawhats reached Alabasta we should have had a new opening #we had so many different endings in alabasta saga but just ONE opening #kinda crazy bc every other saga has multiple openings #one piece #alabasta arc #alabasta saga

dragon may be a deadbeat but he was so happy and supportive of Luffy being a pirate in Loguetown #supporivedeadbeat🥺

#it must be so emotional seeing his babyboy all grown up #when oda releases the dragon backstory flashbacks >>>#loguetown #loguetown arc #monkey d luffy #monkey d dragon #one piece #kinda crazy that one piece would end in loguetown if dragon didn't intervene here #thank you dragon!#east blue saga

another thing i really love about recent archon quest is how clear it was made that cyno and tighnari are collei's family/father figures bc genshin unfortunately has to make something explicit for y'all to take seriously the familial relationships that are not biological 😒 ( like Diluc and Kaeya ). I love my found family 🥹🥹🥹

#like y'all can ship cyno with whoever y'all want ( I actually find cylou a little bit cute)#but it's as canon as it can be that collei is his daughter and he co parents with tighnari #i love cynonari and their daughter 🥹🥹🥹#cynonari #cyno #tighnari #collei #cynari #genshin impact #genshin spoilers #genshin #6.6 genshin

throughout the whole archon quest we can see how slowly but surely kaveh and Alhaitham and their relationship has developed and i really love it. They still banter and have communications problems but they are definitely feel that things have progressed between them.

#kavetham #haikaveh #genshin spoilers #kaveh #alhaitham #i love their dynamic so much they r everything #their epilogue scene is so so good and gives us so much about their current relationship

i deeply don't trust people that dislike the 6.6 archon quests i am sorry. For any Sumeru fan (whether lore or just archon quest), this archon quest is beautiful love letter. Collei, Wanderer, Nahida, Nefer, Dori and even side npc characters such as Liloupaf and Jeht, have beautiful and well written arcs that feel very well earned ( Sumeru has the best written cast of characters and i will die on this hill!) Pantalone had an amazing introduction. The way the incoperated world quests and the lore was so nice to see as a lore enjoyer. So many different dynamics between the cast and all feel very organic and earned. As someone who loves Sumeru it was everything i asked for.

#no dottore stans the villain dying doesn't make the quest badly written or rushed #dottore's function in the story is to be a villain - not all villains are redeemed and a lot of them are killed #besides what is most fitting than his death leading to the death of Irminsul - one of the symbols of the power of the Heavenly Principles???#his death -imo- feels absolutely earned and he died with a bang #“character i liked died=quest is bad” this is si childish #anyways #genshin 6.6.#genshin spoilers #genshin impact #version 6.6 #sumeru #anti dottore #aaru being a product of ruhkadevata deshret and nabu 🥹🥹

while many of the people that believe in nahida now believe in her through the lens that they think she has always existed ( thus believing in ruhkadevata and not actually on Nahida), i love that Dunyarzard has always been one of her true followers and has always believed in her. Like one of the very few people that has always believed in Nahida regardless of Irminsul reality altering shenanigans it's so sweet

#in general dunyarzard is arguably the best written npc in the game and i would argue and say in general tbh #sumeru first archon quest works so well she has such a beautiful arc #In general i would say that sumeru has the best written and developed cast in all genshin #peak after peak after peak #dunyarzad #nahida #lesser lord kusanali #genshin spoilers #genshin 6.6.#genshin impact #sumeru

i know a lot of people don't like it bc it feels reducive or repetitive but LOVEEE kavetham's dynamic it's so fucking funny seeing Alhaitham ragebait Kaveh every single time without fail even in front of these old ass gods hzgdgsydh

#they are genuinely hilarious i love their dynamic #people think it's repetitive but it's one of my favourite genshin gags it hits everytime for me #their love language is arguments and i think that's beautiful!#haikaveh #kavetham #genshin impact #genshin 6.6.#genshin spoilers #alhaitham #kaveh

new sumeru archon quest is so funny bc everyone and their mothers are here, from the Dragon Sovereign, to the Pillars of King Deshret, from Angels to Aranara, from Pari to Jeht and Ben Ben. And the greatest part that all these great deities meet regular citizens of Sumeru. Cyrus introducing himself infront of Three of the Pillars of King Deshret, meanwhile Hermanubis god remains reside in Cyno. Kaveh and Alhaitham meeting Nicole. We are in Sumeru:Endgame now.

i don't ship real life people for many reasons but man.... there's really not other explanation for taengsic... everytime i think of them i get so sad literally the doomed yuri ever.

#genuinely how did they get from being so sweet to one another to whatever happened to them post 2011 #they break my heart like idc about rpf ships but i genuinely think they had something i can not explain their dynamic in any other way #and that's before we even reach 2014 and jessica being kicked out #doomed yuri #taeyeon #jessica jung #taengsic #truly the biggest mystery in kpop

arlong park remains the quintessential one piece arc and represents all of the core themes of one piece ( dreams , friendship and freedom) so well. So many highlights for every character, but Nami's character arc in particular will always make me emotional which makes me even angrier at how the live action bastardized both the arc, Nami, Nojiko and Luffy. Opla sucks so fucking bad man.

#i think nami is probably in my top 5 (if not THE) favourite female character of all time and she was done so dirty in the live action #on my second watch of Arlong Park it's even more apparent how strong and selfless she is #also a reminder that nami is finally able ro act like a kid and have fun after years of being adulticified and groomed to be in positions no #kid should be subjected to #i do think east blue five's bond is very special to her as the first people to see her as a person and not as a tool #one piece #nami #one piece meta #cat burglar nami #arlong park #arlong park arc #east blue saga #anti opla

Not to get all anarchist about it (blatant lies) but I really think a huge part of the conflict between Luffy and Usopp in Water Seven comes down to Luffy feeling the pressure to take a position of authority over the crew, rather than just leadership

The Merry was technically Luffy's ship, since Kaya gave her to Luffy, but it's undeniable that she was a home and a crewmate to all of the crewmembers and had a particularly close bond with Usopp, and even though it was the right decision, Luffy had no right to make that call on his own. And to be fair I don't think he would have under normal circumstances. Luffy doesn't want to be some kind of a big boss to his crew, he wants to be friends, but basically everything went wrong in Water Seven and he felt like it was his responsibility to take charge, and then he fucked it up

The fact that the situation was resolved by forcing Usopp to show submission in order to be accepted back does not help the case. It always feels gross to me

This is my biggest problem with Water Seven. Luffy and Usopp both fucked up, but only Usopp has to apologise, and in fact the narrative reinforces that Luffy has to stay adamant about it even though he clearly doesn't want to and it goes against his nature. The narrative sides with Zoro, but in my opinion Zoro is just wrong

The Straw Hat crew works so well because they're so good at sharing responsibility and leadership and listening to each other and being primarily comrades. The crew regularly criticises and confronts and straight up overrules Luffy when he's being a dumbass, and he accepts that because he respects them, and because being a captain doesn't mean authority to him; it's a leadership of purpose

THIS

And it breaks my little heart knowing that people don't see it this way. Usopp being forced to apologize if he wants to come back just reinforces the idea (especially to those who already didn't like Usopp) that he did something Wrong. That he was the Only one who did something wrong. And fans have been carrying that message with them in their hatred for Usopp ever since. It's a shame.

Luffy was just as much at fault as Usopp was. Perhaps even more! Zoro's thing about Luffy needing to put his foot down was totally unfair, and everyone fucking knew it. I get it on a surface level, but Usopp's issues were far more nuanced than simply throwing a tantrum over "Captain's orders." Usopp gets understanding and encouragement from his crew after the falling out, but then they turn around and place all the responsibility on him to make things right. It's kinda fucked up.

"Propaganda I'm not falling for", and it's the lie that everything was okay in the end and everyone learned their lesson from water 7.

#!!!#also #does everyone forget that Luffy literally was on par of kicking Usopp out????#if sanji didn't kick him the moment he did #luffy was going to do MUCH worse than usopp's breakdown #which yeah luffy immediately took back BUTTTT #it surely didn't help with usopp who already thought that he was holding the crew back and if they could drop merry they could drop him too #usopp already had tremendous abandonment issues and depression #obviously luffy said it bc he was angry and he didn't genuinely mean it but still it's crazy how people forget this moment or disregard it #usopp's worst fears (being abandoned like merry) were becoming true that moment #and i still hate everything with the “captain's request” the whole point of teh strawhats is that they are not like other pirates #that's their strength thav they are equal and friends FIRST and crew secondly!#was zoro right about usopp apologizing ??? sure usopp said stuff he didn't mean #but that doesn't mean he wasn't loyal towards Luffy or The Strawhats #i still absolutely love water 7 and i think it's by far the best arc #but there were some misses #usopp #water seven #water 7

GODDD kuina's backstory hit me harder this time than when i first watched it......i really like how oda handled the subject of misogyny here. I hope post timeskip does more interesting stuff with Tashigi and Zoro it's been so long since we saw her.

#the way oda sometimes handles feminist subjects with care but then sexualises the fuck out of his female cast??? how does that work #does he hire like a ghostwriter for specifically feminist themes??? he is so inconsistent sometimes isvsusgd #kuina one piece #roronoa zoro #east blue saga #tashigi #one piece

i LOVEEEE how one piece uses flashbacks and tragic backstories bc it's never used to defend the villains of one piece. Outside of Robin ( and maybe Franky??? At some point) tragic backstories are never used on the villains to make us forgive them or anything like it (at least in pre time skip). Crocodile, Enel, Spandam and Cp9, none of them seem to be getting any redemption any time sure and i am so grateful.

#oda could very easily make kuro change his heart last minute over his relationship with kaya but i am glad oda doesn't go through this #i hear that Arlong has a tragic backstory in post time skip so i am not adding him here but even then he is not going to get a redemption #arc anytime soon #which i am grateful #sympathetic villain as a trope is so overused.#one piece #pre timeskip #sir crocodile #enel #buggy is kinda a mixed bag bc idk exactly what the show or oda wants him to be #he is more of a comic relief than a full blown character till the start of marineford #i do wish oda had vivi at least a bit more mad with robin though but we will wait for their interactions when vivi and the strawhats #meet up again #syrup village #east blue saga

there's something very funny about how east blue is cut off from the rest of one piece verse. It's both the most normal/easy to live on of the seas but also the most ignorant and easy to propagandise. Like damn people weren't even 100% sure devil fruits existed hsvsusgdjd.

#makes sense why Arlong chose cocoyashi to occupy #the people in East Blue probably don't even know that other races exist outside from the human race #roger being killed in Loguetown instead of like Marineford or Impel Down or Ennies Lobby is also so interesting #bc yeah it's probably a power play towards Roger #but it's also interesting how they killed him in the most ignorant and cut out sea of the bunch #one piece #east blue saga #east blue

the delicious character foils that usopp and kuro are....usopp lying as a defence mechanism and for selfless reasons such as to make kaya happy vs kuro lying for his own gain and to take advantage of kaya.... lying alone does not make someone evil, it's how you use your lies that determinates it.
