[adventures-in-poor-planning]

I rlly like the emphasis that live action one piece is putting on the fact that literally nobody else think about piracy the way luffy does. "Being a pirate is about being free and having friends :3" while every other pirate is doing legitimate career criminal shit around him.

[adventures-in-poor-planning]

Luffy the Piracy Understander when his crew suggests stealing a ship:

[el-jarado]

A lot of people who hadn't seen One Piece seemed to think it was full of pirates that don't actually do any pirating. This is in fact inaccurate. Most pirates in One Piece do lots of piracy. Hero Luffy, who does zero piracy while speedrunning becoming one of the most wanted criminals on the planet because he keeps beating up the immensely powerful men, women, and government agencies that interrupt his fun globe-trotting treasure hunt with his friends, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

[kirbyvolt]

Luffy should still be counted. The crime of Piracy in the One Piece world is simply flying a jolly roger and not complying with the WG. It's precisely why his speedrun of becoming the most wanted man is to an onlooker who is not in a suffering country makes Luffy seem like a legitimate threat. He's "stolen" many things, they're just not tangible.

The system of making privateers work for the government and thus give them an edge to stamp out piracy? He beat 3 of them within 2 years. The one he beat first is what left a vacuum in the first place to bring about another horrifying pirate who also had a quickly escalating career within the last 2 years (in-world). He "stole" the idea that this system worked.

Those 3 pillars of impregnable justice fortresses that serve as the base of the navy, the highest-level prison and the judicial island? He invaded all 3--all within weeks of each other--and "stole" that they were impregnable.

See these already kind of notorious pirates that had high bounties and were threats? He stole them and they work for him now.

"But that's not what actually happened!" you might say.

But Luffy is the protagonist of the story, we see things mainly from his perspective. To most onlookers, that is not what it looks like. He is a true threatening pirate.

...but also that world government is full of shit and is a great representation of how victors write the history, but that's another story and Luffy don't care about that shit one bit. He just doesn't like that they're assholes.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. We need a "This is absolutely NOT mature content" feedback button on posts. You can report a post as missing a community label. We should also be able to report posts as having a community label when they dont fucking need one.

[eldritchbauble]

A trend in the "nobody cares about me" crowd that they probably don't want to hear about but needs to be said anyway is that maybe sometimes people do care about you, you just won't let them.

[eldritchbauble]

If you alienate everyone close to you by demanding their time and energy but still complain that nobody cares about you because they aren't doing enough, that is actually a you problem.

[eldritchbauble]

Until YOU internalize what healthy love is, you won't feel loved no matter what anyone around you does. And in the process of yelling about how unfair it is you're harming the people who actually give a shit. Sometimes.

[eldritchbauble]

And this obviously (but stating anyway cuz Tumblr) isn't everybody who feels like nobody cares. But it is a trend I have seen in numerous people. It is, kinda, hard to care for someone if they're aggressive and hard to be around on a chronic basis.

[eldritchbauble]

It's disordered behavior, too, but that doesn't mean you have a free pass to lash out at people. It is your responsibility to evaluate reality vs. your trauma in relationships and not make it other peoples' jobs to emotionally regulate you for you.

[eldritchbauble]

OH, ALMOST FORGOT, ALSO VERY IMPORTANT:

While relationships should be a relatively equal amount of give and take, you doing things for others that they never asked for nor expected of you and then being angry when they don't give 150% back is also a problem. It doesn't mean you're a nice person who's selfless and always giving to others. It means that you're not practicing healthy boundaries and you need to learn that Being Useful doesn't make people love you any more. If you unbalance the scale it isn't fair to come back at people with resentment when they practice healthy boundaries, i.e. respecting their own needs and limits and not centering you in every part of their lives.

I actually highly recommend looking into codependency if this is a thing for you.

[eldritchbauble]

VIOLATING YOUR OWN NEEDS AND BOUNDARIES DOES NOT MAKE YOU LOVABLE; YOUR RESENTMENT IS A BURDEN TO OTHERS.

I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

oH RIGHT This was before LotR pioneered cgi for massed crowd behavior

There was so much cool cgi in those movies I just assumed all the clones were too but back then I guess they still couldn’t really be

I wonder what happened to all the agent smith masks

[roomtemperaturesuperconductor]

I can actually answer this! So the latex/rubber they used, while standard for Hollywood at the time, reacted REALLY BADLY to being doused in pouring water nonstop for an entire day of shooting. They ended up corroding, which caused them to stink really badly and glob together at the seams. The original plan was to hand out masks to various crew members on the final day of shooting as souvenirs, but the sopping wet, melting, rotting rubber got so gross that by the end of that shooting day they’d already thrown most of them out. Somewhere in a landfill are hundreds of disgusting, bloated, slimey Hugo weaving heads fused together into a nightmarish rotting amalgam :)

[raccoonmilf]

When I was in grade school I used to send emails to biologists and zoologists asking them questions to get answers to include in school projects I was working on, and would cry when they did not respond because I thought I was stupid for thinking that some random kid would ever be deserving of a response from someone who does something as smart and cool and important as *checks notes* studies frog fungus.

Now, at 29, I’m lowkey having a panic attack because my academic email is filled with middle schoolers wanting me to answer their questions about pygmy raccoons and I keep putting off answering them because I’m so overwhelmed with all the other raccoon stuff I have to do.

Anyway, greatest apologies to any scientist I ever emailed as a child and also an adult.
