Evelyn: Okay I wanna open the box too, let's just open the box
Paultin: But it's not our box

i NEVER get tired of luffy deflecting bullets. it's always cool, the sound effects are always on point, and everyone always freaks out over it.
Eric is such a... non-intimadating name. like paul the butcher or dave the weirdo.
love catapult would be an AMAZING band name.
the marine's ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED face here is fucking amazing.
i really like the point percy makes (and that vax eventually agrees with) about civilization during their conversation about westruun after umbrasyl was killed — a city built by very people's hands deserves preservation and saving as much as those same people leaving in it.
«the death of the city is such a blasphemy. it is the murder of the dead. and i am horrified.»
«building will give them [people of westruun] something to do. and if the dragon comes back, they will be safe underground. and if the dragon doesn't, we have saved thousand of years of inspiration and life. it's... you can't just abandon something like this! there's too much here.
vax: otherwise, what else are we fighting for?
otherwise, it becomes our friend pike from nowhere.»
it's such a beautiful point about history and culture being as important to keeping human civilization alive as saving lives of people. preserving knowledge build into the walls of cities can become a new starting point, a foundation that the new generation will be built upon, more equipped and smart. and just not entirely faceless. remembering the culture is important, it's an identity, it's a customized dress that tells about the roots of beliefs and explains people's behavior. it's a wisdom carefully interwoven into the tale of creation of this specific piece of the world.
the culture is important.
and percy being the one who lost overnight his whole family and his town knows about it more than a man of his age would want to. the history of his family was inseparable from the culture of whitestone and one of briarwoods' goals was to tear it down in the most cruel way. to smear the de rolo's name in their own blood and dirt and render their town faceless and hopeless, only useful of their own vicious plans.
and it now makes so much sense to me personally why vax was so determined to use pelor as a symbol of hope, spreading it as a signal everywhere he went. he understood it, too. he saw pieces of whitestone culture being destroyed and wanted to bring them to life in people's hearts in the form of symbolism carried over in spoken word. and yes, he wanted to help percy. yes, it was done for the rebellion. but one doesn't cancel the other. and in my opinion, it wasn't just about percy defeating the briarwoods but more about percy being a still alive and standing piece of whitestone history and culture that can be and should be a symbol himself.
a symbol of rebirth of the culture that there used to be, a culture attached to the de rolo family and hence attached to whitestone.
i just find all of this incredibly compelling in terms of character building and in terms of simply being a human being serching for what's important in life.
