One Piece Academy chapter 47: Lost Dog part 1 (Quick translation)

source | index

(Law and Cora don't appear in this week's part, we'll see them next week!)

"A Grand festival for Onigiri lovers, the Onigiri Expo!"

<What appears before Luffy's brother Ace kun is... Onigiri? >

Onigiri: Waff!

Ace: The heck are you?

[Title Card: New World High "Moby Dick School" 2nd year, Fire fist Ace kun]

Ace: A baby bear?

Onigiri: Waff!

Ace: If it waffs then dog, I guess...You a pup?

Onigiri: *huff* *huff*

Ace: Here, take the skin of my steamed bun. See ya.

(walks away)

Sorry, doggo. I can keep a beetle at best as a pet.

Onigiri: (look at him rofl)

Ace:.....

Hoop!

*puts Onigiri down*

*starts running*

HOW 'BOUT THAT??

Onigiri: Waff! Waff!

Onigiri: *plops*

Ace: !

(Don't look back...!!) *dragging himself*

(rip dog)

Ace: DARN IT!!

Ace: Fine, fiine... my loss.

Well, it's definitely a lost dog so that takes some weight off... let's search for your master, shall we?

Onigiri: *marveled at butterflies*

Ace: Try actin' like a lost dog, will you...

Well, let's go! Er...... Norimochi!

Onigiri:.....

Ace:.... Guess that's not the name.

(T/N: Norimochi is mochi wrapped seaweed so Ace was pretty close! Reminder that Onigiri is named by Luffy, so the bothers have a similar naming tendency lol)

<DOOON! >

[Title card: Faculty, New World Middle School

White Chase Smoker sensei]

Smoker: How long does a freaking cup of coffee take? Tashigi!!!

Tashigi: I'm sorry! There are so many types of beans;;

Someone: *light coughs*

Ace: Sorry for the inconvenience, but... do you perhaps recognize this dog?

Smoker:

Ace: 'guess not? Sorry for the trouble! 👋🏼

Smoker: You!!

Smoker: HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

Tashigi: *brings coffee* Decided to go with the regular after all!...Huh?

Ace:!!

Oop!!

Ace: The dude from earlier.. ain't that too flashy for a greeting?

Smoker: You sure look carefree... Whitebeard corps second commander, Portgas D. Ace.

Ace: Mm? You're that guy from Luffy's class! If I remember right, smokey-

Smoker: It's Smoker!

Ace: Right, Smoker sensei, tutoring my li'l brother.

Smoker: Cut the crap. You stayed at our school for two months, made a name while I was away on a business trip, then quickly transferred to Moby Dick School branch.

Only if you hadn't moved there... I would've thrown you and your brother into the reform room and straightened you out!

Ace: Well, now I'm practically in a different school, so let all that slide, maybe?

Smoker: No can do. As long as I'm a teacher, and you're a thug!

Ace: What a boring reason.

Aight, let's have fun!

Smoker: But before that, why's that dog with you?

whateva .... valentine's day sketch

I've been asked to write a post about Georgia's newest Insta stories, all of which (including the text title cards) are in the video above. I'm between events here at the conference, so I will try to get my thoughts down as succinctly as possible.

What seems to have happened is that Georgia dared David to climb a tree, and what we see in the video then ensued. I think what stood out to me most about this is the way David and Georgia are speaking to each other, which seems very different to how we've seen them speak to each other before. In this video, David seemed to really push back in response to Georgia, particularly when she was using her "mom" voice and talking to him like a child as she entreated him to get down from the tree:

"Get down." "You started it, Georgia." "I'm stopping it. Get down." "Oh no you're not. You don't get to do that to me."

I couldn't help but contrast this in my mind with the video Georgia filmed of David at Morrison's last year. How visibly uncomfortable he looked throughout, but despite that, kept on going and didn't say anything or ask her to stop. To go from that to, "You don't get to do that to me" seems like a major leap, and possibly another indication that the dynamic between them has shifted.

It was also interesting to see the difference as she continually pleaded for him to get down, and him seemingly...not believing her? The "Is this not a ploy?" was an interesting comment, as if he's become so used to being a gimmick, to being content for her, that he is now doubting her sincerity. It was hard not to get the feeling that Georgia was panicking less about him possibly falling out of the tree, and more about David not immediately doing exactly what she told him to.

This is not me saying that she wasn't truly worried about him getting hurt, of course, but when you take David's comment into consideration along with the second title card, it just seems disconcerting:

...I had to read this twice to really make sure I read it correctly. And again, this feels like it reinforces what we saw above, with Georgia not being able to handle David pushing back: The idea that she would be (and is) more concerned about her own image and her coming across as unappealing than anything else.

Which we again saw with the last title card and the ending of the story being that "the wife was listened to. All was right with the world." That was apparently the victory here more than anything else, at least for Georgia. And she is very good at not making this the most visible thing on the surface, but once you really think about what she is saying (he's 53 years old and embarrassing and has delusions of grandure grandeur), it starts to become a lot more apparent.

So those are my thoughts on the video. I could be wrong about all of the above, but this was what I took from it. I'm glad it all turned out well, though, and to see how proud David seemed of himself once he did get down from the tree (and him wearing that adorable stripey sweater again). Happy to hear from folks in the comments as well with your thoughts...

I caught up with the manga. Now I have to wait almost a week for the next chapter to be released. And for the translation.

(⁠ノ⁠ಥ⁠,⁠_⁠｣⁠ಥ⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

I don't hate Endo as I thought I would do. He's silly tho.

Tsubaki wanting to keep Sakura away from Endo is funny as fuck.

Like, I feel there must be a missing scene like this:

Hiragi: Sakura has gotten stronger.

Umemiya: Yep. He did.

Tsubaki: But... I feel like we're forgetting something.

Umemiya: It must be nothing important. And if it is, then he'll probably figure out himself.

After the fight,

Tsubaki: Oh, shit! I know what we forgot!

Hiragi: What?

Tsubaki: Stranger danger! We didn't taught him about the stranger danger!

Hiragi: ... I mean, he's sixteen, he probably knows it. Someone must had told him about, right?

Suo, thinking about his empty flat and how naïve Sakura can be : No, probably not.

Hiragi: Oh shit.

[crispy-art-on-fire]

Okay you hanahaki anon's coming back for a few extra funnies sss

I had the working theory that cybertronian flowers in your guts isn't like, a foreign object. Because cybertronians don't really have a large intake of solid material/metal, the idea is that the disease 1. sources its metal from the cybertronian themselves, so that plant is your fucking organs now. have fun. It entangles and ensnares parts together, making removal and repair hard, and gets worse over time. Like, trying to open up one's chassis, or hell, even movement at one point, might become damn near impossible when the roots get tangled up in that. 2. its caused by a lapse/glitch in the nanite system; a bloke struggles with their crush so bad their frame is like "something wrong? but the frame's working fine- guess we gotta revert and become Plant it is," so confessing actually causes it to go away fairly quickly once the 'disease' alleviates and there's no longer pressure to return to botany, so the system just repairs itself. This has all the implications you think it does.

So this bit's kind of more Ratchet-centric, but it might not be immediately apparent that Optimus isn't actually dying dying from this, but was still willing to hide it, even to the point that it seems like he'd rather straight-up die than confess or even tell the team medic about it. It's pretty obvious he's crushing on a con, he's not that stupid, so even if he's crushing on a con, why hide it from Ratchet. It isn't his choice to fall for a con, he would know that, so is this somehow on the medic? Like, would he be forced to take a step back and wonder if his hostility made his team leader worried about telling him? Maybe not, he might just bulldoze on ahead and berate the truck for nearly killing himself, until its more clear that it's not. killing him. Again I run in circles.

What I think, however would be the most interesting is if Blitzwing's still got his crush on Optimus, but he's upfront about it, which now makes the idea of telling the 'con all the more worse. Like, if Oppy isn't saying for the sake of his team, or emotions, or some cosmic third factor, it's going to be so much worse if Blitzwing's reciprocal. Like, Op might not Want to, or reason he shouldn't start a relationship with Blitzwing in this version (insert your reasons here) despite like, he's falling head over flower petals for the triple-changer, but telling him is almost going to make things so much more complicated. Blitzwing might not get why he's doesn't want a relationship, they both clearly want each other, it's literally killing the Autobot. Would Blitzwing get even more pushy, stalker-y or even worse, and would not knowing how'd Blitzwing react cause Op to try and drive his feelings deeper, even considering having the roots removed despite what it'll do to him? Ough. Something.

As a bonus, I think it would be fun/interesting with the "flower petals oxidize to the color of the sufferer's crush's plating" if for both the flowers oxidized the same way. Like, red, blue, and black for Optimus obviously, but what about also red, blue, and black for Blitzwing's three faceplates. Although that would create some hilarious confusion on Op's end. why are the petals his own colors. what

That's about all I've got for subjecting plant diseases onto love-stricken bots. I need to find more creative ways to torture Blitzwing.

Yesss YESSSSS. Eating this, wonderful.

I plp might have figured out but I ADORE when love drives people to madness. The feeling being mutual and they knowing its mutual but Optimus not wanting to cross that gap and admit it and like. It literally having physical adverse effects on him. Ough og!!!! Trapping them in hell where Blitzwing becomes more and more blatant in his feelings because it is required!!! But he isn't granted relief!!! And the escalating behavior just keep confirming to Optimus just why this isn't going to work and is a bad idea while at the same time pushing into a corner where he has to confess.

Also your headcanon on Hanaki disease works for robots EATS. It shall live rent free in my head. Ratchet as is tradition with this ship, has the worst time ever.

˚˖𓍢ִ໋🦢˚ 𝓻𝔂𝓾𝓱𝓪𝓲𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓶

there was an ache in my heart when i awoke in a strange, beautiful world that wasn’t my own. even as months turned to years, i still missed the familiar skies, the voice of loved ones and the home i had left behind. i wrote letters that went nowhere and whispered silent prayers that reached no one. it was like i was plucked from my own reality and placed in a world where i didn’t quite belong.

yet, as much as i longed for home, i was determined to learn in this new life. sumeru became my sanctuary and the akademiya, my solace. i learned their languages, customs, and secrets while sharing stories of the stars, landmarks, and beauty of my own world. the scholars listened, fascinated by the similarities and differences, but none more than al-haitham—a student assigned to guide me through this foreign land. he was a quiet presence. thoughtful and curious. he did not pity me.

and over time, he went from guide to peer to something more. over time, i wasn’t just seeking knowledge but also him. but what was the point? what was the point of falling for him if one day, i could just disappear—vanish back to my world, leaving him and teyvat behind? this could slip away at any moment. this might be as fleeting as a dream.

despite all reason, i still found myself loving him deeply. in a world that wasn’t my own, he had become my home.

Sky’s still got it

Sky plays a certain soothing tune on his harp to help Bunny get some rest. It works a little too well.

Tags: @thatonecrazysidekick and @tiredgaytheatrekid

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 .

Sky began to pluck the strings for one last song, his eyes slipping shut as he thought of his beloved back home, often troubled by nightmares after her journey, similar to the ones that plagued him. He would sit by their bed after a bad dream of hers, once he had comforted her and wiped her tears away with his thumb, and he would play her this song. Zelda would never fall asleep in the first play-through, rarely the second, but by the third, soft snores would always escape her despite her insistence that she wouldn’t be able to sleep again that night.

As Sky played the final note, letting it linger on the air sweetly, he opened his eyes, slow and calm. All around him, the Zora had fallen asleep, either leaning against each other or curled up on the floor. Four had drifted off against the railing, his relaxed features making him look much younger than he normally did. Time leaned back against the wall of the Domain, arms crossed and chin lowered to his chest, fast asleep.

And next to Sky, Bunny had slumped, his breathing deep and even as Sky had hoped it would be.

“Still got it,” Sky murmured to himself, pride glowing within his chest at having knocked out both their normally serious Smithy and the Old Man, and at having helped Bunny get some rest after such an eventful day.

“That ye do.” Sky jumped, raising a hand to his chest when he realised it was only Twilight, leaning against the railing of the stairs, staring down at him with a fanged smile. “Sorry, we didn’ mean tah scare ye.”

It was then Sky realised Wild stood across from Twilight, his slate out as he attempted to capture an image of Time, conked out against the wall. He snapped a couple before Twilight grabbed him by the back of the shirt and dragged him away.

“That’s enough. We need tuh wake ‘em up”—Twilight jerked a thumb back at the sleeping Zora—“and get this lot in bed. We’ve a busy day ahead of us tomorrow and the last thing I wan’ is to listen to the Old Man bitch about ‘is sore back.”

Sky couldn’t help but snort, raising a hand to his mouth to stifle the sound. Wild had no qualms with bursting into laughter, quickly achieving their task of waking the Zora with their sensitive hearing. Grumbles were sent his way, and they received a half-apologetic wave before they dispersed.

“Ah’ve got this one,” Twilight said, already crouching by Time. Rather than shaking him by the shoulder to wake him, Twilight carefully picked up Time, carrying him effortlessly in his arms like Time was a toddler who had fallen asleep at a family gathering. Sky couldn’t help but chuckle to himself at the thought, turning back to Bunny and Four.

“How strong are you feeling today, my dear Champion?”

“We both know these two will weigh about the same,” Wild shot back. “Your choice.”

Rolling his eyes, Sky pushed himself to his feet, dusting off the front of his pants, a force of habit from the many times he had been knocked down on his quest that he couldn’t quite shake. He passed his harp to Wild to be stored in his slate for the moment. “We both know while our Smithy is small, he’s all muscle. I’ll ask again, how strong are you feeling?”

“In that case, I’m taking Bunny.”

“Ye jus’ wanna cuddle ‘im.”

“Perhaps,” Wild said as he scooped Bunny up into his arms, cradling him close like Hyrule and Twilight always did. “Oh. Oh, I see why you two want to carry him all the time. He’s so soft.”

Twilight grinned a fanged grin. “That ‘e is. Be careful with ‘im, yeah?”

Where he might normally take the words as offensive, Wild merely nodded, as if the weight and warmth of a real, breathing creature on his shoulder gave something to Twilight’s words he never heard when he was handling an item. “I will,” he promised.

“In the case,” Sky said, not at all upset he missed out on carrying Bunny when it meant he got to ensure his close friend slept somewhere comfortable and warm. He gathered Four in his arms, grateful he had thought to consider Four’s strength rather than assuming their Smithy would weigh next to nothing with his height. “Shall we?” Sky asked, holding Four closer, smiling when Four leaned his head against Sky’s chest in his sleep, hands reaching out to grasp at the front of his shirt.

“Let’s.”

there's a lot that makes me quite ill abt them but one scene in particular i come back to a lot is this scene. like... loghain is the one who literally sits there and sucks the poison out of her. and rowan sounds annoyed, likely bc maric has asked abt katriel first, and most of the reflections from rowan is like... she's quite resentful of katriel etc etc.

which is actually why i think this next bit is crazyy. "someone had clearly taken pains to wipe her face" im sorry im sure tst/gaider wants me to believe that it's rowan, but i actually don't believe that it's rowan at all, not when she's so fucking annoyed and resentful of katriel, and deeply suspicious of katriel the entire time. and since maric is unconscious, that leaves?? only one?? potential candidate in this trio?? who could have been carefully wiping her face??? sorry that's fucking insane to me?? HELLO??

and then this bit which is like particularly sick. to me. because yes, clearly loghain and rowan had discussed it while maric was unconscious, but loghain tells maric we'll need to carry katriel if we have to. he looks "distinctly uncomfortable" - i don't think he agrees with rowan that they should leave katriel behind, or if they do come to some kind of decision to talk to maric abt it, his decisions for wanting to leave her behind are likely veryyyy different to rowan's motivations. he's already had conversations w rowan about being suspicious of katriel and this is what he's said abt it:

he IS suspicious of her motivations but not of her information - he's willing enough to count on it to survive. so it makes no sense for him to be like 'lets just dump her in the deep roads while we have no idea where we are, we're injured, and those spiders could come back at any moment' when he's the one willing to go in with her information in the first place. likely he's rationalising the option as a potential as like - we take her with us because she can help navigate this place OR we leave her behind if her odds of survival aren't looking good - but before loghain can say anything at all, rowan actually holds up a hand to stop him from saying anything and speaks on both of their behalf. even though rowan is speaking on both of their behalf here i just don't think they're actually on the same page bc look:

like... i don't know that she's done anything [...] she makes me uneasy. and loghain later suggest questioning her, rather than assuming evil intentions here, and leaving her to die in the deep roads (which. what the hell rowan??).

and like!!!!! also!!!! he doesn't mistrust maric's judgement of her, really:

up til this point he literally didn't even know about katriel and maric??? which is. it's own insanity. but it seems like his perspective on katriel, at this point, is different to rowan's, who is rly dead set against katriel already

Squinting intensely at Will as he says that after thousands and thousands of years the bigfoot world suddenly looks like the 1950s (albeit like the Jetsons version). Mr. Campos that's a rather suspicious thing to say paired with that other suspicious thing people picked up on you saying in episode 1. You know, this:

🤨 Anything you want to share with the class, Will?
