Not saying what I’m thinking but…just out in the open like that is wild💙💙💙

The only people not voting Green in the next election that I want following me right now are children and non-Americans. Fucking go away if you think it's okay to vote Blue. This is literally the chance to destroy the 2 party system and stop Israel's genocide by voting and you're being compliant in genocide and the broken political system. Fucking get a grip. We actually do have the power to make it go widespread in a year that all pro-palestine advocates should vote green and that would either lead to several green states happening, a significant number of green votes which would still put all third parties on the map, or it would scare the fuck out of Genocide Joe who would have to scramble to call for a ceasefire if he wanted to not lose his whole voter base to a different party, one that would probably align better with their morals anyway. Fucking have some hope and make it go viral, tell everyone about it, or block me. Those are your options. Unless you'll vote green and spread the word for others to vote green, or you're unable to participate in American politics, I don't want you here.

I do not want you here.

I have an Usopp problem 😵‍💫

***Break over

I’m seriously not sure if it’s because of the algorithm, or Oda’s 3 week break and fans are bored and suffering because of it, but it seems like Usopp has become more of (???) a person of interest in the fandom, very recently—for the wrong reasons. Maybe it’s because of my hyper-fixation on Usopp’s journey…I admit. Can’t even cross it out.

…So, maybe it is JUST me.

Maybe that’s why it seems like he’s a person of interest even more nowadays.

I am avoiding Reddit and Worstgen, but YouTube is testing my resolve. I use YouTube for other things besides One Piece analysis vids and whatnot.

Tamir’s Verse do post pro-Usopp videos, but even those bring forward slander in the comments that’s hard to look past, personally. There’s a video about how and WHY Usopp is the most disliked Strawhat! 🤯 I can’t watch Tamir’s Verse videos and shorts at all anymore.

And then there was a poll of “Who’s the Most Disliked Strawhat?” on my YouTube feed. Usopp had the second to the most votes. If “Other” hadn’t been an option/choice, he would have won. If the algorithm is gonna play mind games, can they give me the positive Usopp videos? Please?

This isn’t meant to be a rant at all.

But having to read that Usopp is “The Butt” of the Strawhats is kinda sh**ty. (This was in response to when I posted a comment in one of the vids. I said that Usopp was a nuanced and brave character).

But have no fear, I will forever argue against the harsh criticism. The harsh criticism and arguing won’t matter in a year. I know this. There’s the real world outside. I have to talk to someone about this…I know 😔.

The YouTube algorithm is playing mind games.

I won’t look at the comments I won’t look at the comments I won’t look at the commets I won’t look at the comm–

I won’t post a comment I won’t post a comment I won’t post a comment I won’t post a comment I won’t post a comm-

No more arguing no more arguing no more arguing no more arguing no more arguing no more arguing no more arg–

Let Oda cook let Oda cook let Oda cook let Oda cook let Oda cook let Oda cook let Oda cook let Oda cook let Oda coo–

Conclusively, I’m gonna go do some soul searching. I have an exam this week, and I’m experiencing writer’s block (currently writing a one-shot, writing Act 2 of an ongoing Usopp-centric fic)…and..

So, I’ll go and touch grass.

And I’m gonna give myself the hard challenge of not talking about Usopp for 1 week. You know what? Let’s give myself a bigger challenge. I won’t talk about Usopp for 2 weeks. But if that means not talking about Usopp, I’ll need to stop watching One Piece for 2 weeks, and writing fanfiction (even just updating the drafts) for 2 weeks... I’ll need to stay off YouTube, Reddit, and TUMBLR for 2 weeks... I’ll need to stay off Ao3 for 2 weeks…

I’ll have to clear my cache and delete all my tabs. I’ll have to avoid my email (I’ll unsubscribe from the YouTube messages I receive). I’ll reply to the last of my notifications…then…

2 weeks. 2 weeks. I’ll give it 2 weeks…

I can do this. Right? Right? I’m writing this to instill some discipline in me. I want to find a way to approach things differently, and not argue endlessly about nonsensical comments…I want to feel what it’s like to not participate.

Then I’ll come back to the fandom and be a little bit more positive and well rested. And I’ll contribute to all the nice things.

Note to self. I got this…if anyone is reading this. Thank you for your time ❤️

My break starts now!

Stay true!

just a tangible example of how clothing has substantially changed. this is from frogging two store-bought sweaters: a blue v-neck (c. 1990) and a maroon crew neck (c. 2020). both size small.

Refrain (en unisson)

Ô matin de l’esprit! Ô nuit des sentiments! Mes midis et minuits Marchent, équidistants, Sur le sixième fil Des heures qui défilent.

Ô instants suspendus Aux nuages du temps! Quand la lumière fut, Je vis comme il est grand, L’abîme du silence Dans lequel ombres dansent.

Je suis la voix du ciel Et un enfer muet. Les éclairs sont mes ailes Mais m’habillent nuées De doute et certitude, De bruits et quiétude.

Je suis le cri de joie Que poussent séraphins. Leurs chants couvrent de soie Mon timbre cristallin. Mais je porte misères Comme un manteau d'hiver.

Le bonheur est mon nom, Mais je ne sais le dire. J'appelle les démons Que taisent mes sourires. Par le noir, sont hantés Mes semblants de clarté.

Je suis une rêveuse Gardant les yeux ouverts. Pourtant une penseuse, Je ne vis que pour faire. Dans l'immuable azur, Seuls mouvements perdurent.

Je suis l'idéaliste Luttant pour sa patrie. Je suis la pessimiste Dont le souffle périt, Une rose écrasée, Terre dépaysée.

Je suis honnête et j'ai Des secrets par milliers. Je suis une enragée Dont le feu s'est noyé. Ce que mes braises tracent, Mers de larmes effacent.

Je suis un paradoxe Qui manque de contraste, Hérétique orthodoxe, Image iconoclaste. Dans la fille modèle Rugit une rebelle.

Je donne vie et tue Selon ce qui me plaît. Je tire des obus Et soigne chaque plaie. Éclate en moi la guerre, Mais sa hache j'enterre.

Qui suis-je? Chair et os; L'âme brisée se perd. Que suis-je? Je suis l'eau Traversant le désert, Qui, cherchant son chemin, Casse la roche au point.

C'est le jour et la nuit, Équinoxe et solstice. Ce que je suis me fuit. Ma vertu suit des vices. Où suis-je? Ici, partout. Que suis-je? Rien du tout.
