it would suck being a new immortal. like it’d be 2109 and people would go, “what was it like seeing ancient civilizations rise and fall like that? seeing the pyramids being built? watching the expansion and growth of the new world?” and i’d just be like, “no…no i was born in 1991. so like, wow i’m gonna see some cool stuff, but, i mean i’m not that much older than just a really, really old person, you know? phones were big back then. so big. but only for like ten years, then they got like, as good as they are now. uh. rhinos existed. don’t think i ever saw one in person. cool, good talk.”

even worse, imagine being an immortal who keeps missing stuff. “What was it like seeing the pyramids being built?” “Fuck if I know, I was in Madagascar.” “Oh, okay. Well, how was the Renaissance?” “I fell down a hole in Scotland and people thought I was an enchanted well for four hundred years, it was over by the time I convinced someone to get me out.”

[erkhyan]

And now, a lesson in biases:

We barely know anything about Madagascar pre-500CE. We don’t even know whether the island had a permanent population before then, despite finding a bunch of much older signs of temporary human presence.

Malagasy mythology makes mention of the vazimba, a “precursor” ethnic group that might or might not be distinct from Madagascar’s current population.

The point is, we do not know.

So you were in Madagascar when the pyramids were being built in Egypt, i.e. during one of the most obscure, most undocumented parts of Madagascar’s human history?

Oh, buddy, you better go and make a bunch of anthropologists and archeologists really happy RIGHT NOW instead of feeling bad about missing everyone else’s pet Major Event.

SCREAMING my mom just called out of the blue to be like "hey have you ever read fahrenheit 451?? it's so good!!" and i was surprised she hadn't read it before but we chatted a little about the book and then at one point she goes "yeah i just never got around to it bc i didn't really like star trek" which of course had me going "huh?" followed quickly by "mom. mom do you think gene roddenberry wrote farenheit 451 or that ray bradbury created star trek." and after a veeeeery long silence she says, ".....this would explain some of the tonal differences"

People are talking about how reading Dungeon Meshi gives them an internal monologue Senshi for eating properly I think we all need to adopt an internal monologue Chilchuck at work. Like the boat is literally sinking and he's just watching it happen because he's on his lunch break.

#remember chilchuk would tell you to always put ur own needs and rights first in the workplace 🧡 (@clowniconography)

[prinxperseverant]

This is the Union Chilchuck, reblog him to affirm your own worth as a worker and entitlement to regular breaks

I think what makes Luffy different from most other shonen protags is that he's not meant to be an audience insert. You don't want to be Luffy, you want Luffy to randomly barge into your life and start throwing hands with your asshole boss.

my favorite part of one piece is the way it decentralizes romance as a moving force of the plot. It explores relationships in depth but they are platonic ones, brotherly ones, found families and kindred spirits…

it means so fucking much to me, even when you have a character where his romantic attraction is a huge part of him, his arc is still about recognizing that what he truly wants is to come back to his found family in the sunny.

having the main character declare war at the world government because that’s the enemy of his friend and going at war at said government because the life of his adoptive brother is at risk.

and even though it doesn't have romance as the main plot, one piece is FILLED with romanticism, oda takes those relationships from our everyday lives and shows us how special those bonds are, how romantic they are, he adds this “spark” that most media reserves only for romance.
