English Majors Required:

No reason for these, I just feel like every single English ph.D. has waited their whole life for someone to ask this exact question.

Alt Versions:

Mysteries Of The Cosmos:

Again, I cannot imagine what use anyone would have for these, but America feels like it needs this kinda confidence back.

Alt Version:

This Sailor Moon Cosmo is such a weird mix of the lovable, charming anime, the pensive, deep lore of the manga slammed together with this touch of sci-fi bar fights that absolutely NO ONE asked for. A three of those movies as mashed together, but like how you would mash together three Barbie dolls.

But you know what?

Damnit if I won't take it all just for a little more of Sailor Star "Went and fell for the wrong princess" Fighter.

Everyone likes to think they're the Main Character.

Problem is, when you make yourself the MC, you push everyone else to the side.

Hey, you guys remember when Law got a cough and also breasts and then screamed so hard he grew his penis back?

Y'all remember that as something that actually happened.

Anyone able to point me towards recordable/screen gabbable versions of One Piece episodes 1088- (future), please contact me if possible. Need them for my gif collection.

Serious Question:

I notice that Oda just LOVES avoiding assigning "Vice captain/first mate" status. This came up when my siblings all got in an argument with me that no, Zoro is NOT the first mate. He also claims Killer isn't a frist mate, just a co-captain (a co-captain.... who calls his co-captain, captain).

And that Law do don't have a first mate. He has Penguin, Shachi, and Bepo.

No.

I'm sorry but no. How is Zoro not a first mate? Why do you want to hurt Bepo? JUST BECAUSE KILLER AND KID ARE PIRATE HUSBANDS DOESN'T MEAN KILLER HAS TO BE CAPTAIN!!

Maybe, his poor ego isn't so fragile that he minds someone holding authority over him.

Vice Captains Are Amazing. They are the life blood of a ship.

Oda needs to stop disrespecting that by refusing to just call them first mates.

Let me see your Law x Zoro songs.

Bonus points if you have one that works for All Hearts.

So, I've heard a lot of negative press about the movie Wasih, which, hey cool. I wasn't keen on watching but it came up and why not.

Here is my issue. I was lead it wasn't good for the following reasons:

Wish Girl: Shouldn't we grant every wish ever no matter what!?

Evil Dude: Um, that's insane. Do you know how many wishes are straight up murder?

So I was kind of surprised when it ACTUALLY went much more like:

Wish Girl: So this is where you keep every wishes or every single one of our citizens over the age of 18, huh?

Evil Dude: Yeah, preeeetty much. Oh but, careful there. Haha, you see, because some of them suck so we can't risk those getting out....

Wish Girl: Getting out? You mean you won't grant them ever?

Evil Dude: GRANT them? Are you crazy? Look at this one! This loser wants to INSPIRE people with MUSIC! IMAGINE the carnage of I granted that sort of insanity!

Wish Girl: I'm sorry are none of these like, "I really want to murder my husband?" How is that the evilest example you could manage?

Evil Dude: Inspiring music? Do you WANT to live in communist China!?

Wish Girl: I don't know about this Communism or China.... but.... like.... when people give you their wishes, they're trusting you.

Evil Dude: And I'm doing my part by not just destroying them on sight.

Wish Girl: You don't understand! They're TRUSTING you, not just with their dreams but with who they ARE. When you remove their wishes, you're removing PART of who they are! People, they forget their dreams. Your dreams, your goals, a huge part of who you are! I'm not asking you to grant every wish.... I just don't think people should lose a piece of themselves, not even knowing it's gone.

Wish Girl: If you don't want to use your magic that's fine. Why not let them at least strive to bring their dreams to reality the old fashion way?

Evil Dude: Well yeah but you know.... hypothetical badness!

Wish Girl: ..... Give them back.

Evil Dude: I'm sorry, what?

Wish Girl: Just give them back. Like, okay, you don't want to make this guy a rockstar but right now he doesn't even remember he likes music! Give! It! Back!

I mean, how is that evil? It's less a "grant every dream always!" More a "let people think and dream what they want". Her initials reaction isn't a free dream for everyone!!!" It's "people should know their own goals, they shouldn't be stolen away."

Why ya'll trying to pretend the dude who is taking people's hopes/dreams/personalities and choosing which ones get to happen and which are ERASED FROM THE MIND OF THE INDIVIDUAL FOREVER is the good guy?

Is media literacy just a joke?

Friend: It's Mihawk's Birthday!!

Me: Oh no.

Me: I didn't even written him any Zoro based porn.

Zoro would be the kind of guy who got into the Hero Academy but had no power. You'd have scientists expecting his jaw, putting him through all sorts of tests, trying to dig up answers for how the hell Zoro could hold - nevermind talk and FIGHT WITH - a third sword IN HIS GODDAMN MOUTH.

And Zoro would just be all... "Oh, can't everyone do this....."

"Huh."

"Weaklings."

[gildedmuse]

I'd actually love a fic during WCI where the Polar Tang ends up on an island just as a special fruit is blooming.

Robin would so be into watching the resulting, err, chaos?

(Plus I could sneak in some Penguin/Shachi. Don't judge me. They're adorable AF.)

Zoro jumping off because he needs to stretch his legs after being stuck in that "tin can" so long.

Law rolling his eyes looking for one of the other Strawhats to follow their damn crewmate. He shouldn't be Law's responsibility to keep him from being los.... Grr, you know what nevermind. Clearly he's the only responsible one here *stalks off into the forest*.

Robin who'd been sitting on the top deck sunning herself this whole time, ignoring Torao. He doesn't REALLY want them to go after Zoro, not when it gives him the opportunity to follow the swordsman himself: Hmm. How interesting.

Franky: What'd that Robin? Ooh, a book about this area! Is there anything we should be worried about?

Robin: Oh, I'm sure it's nothing. It seems this island is infamous for having very unique type of flower.

Robin: *lowers her glasses to look down at Law arguing with Zoro that he needs to stay close to the boat while Shachi and Penguin get out to look around for supplies and some other hot heart pirates stretch their legs*

Franky: Infamous huh? *Scratches chin* Does it say what it's known for?

Robin: *Robin Smile™* It has some details, yes, but I'm sure it would be interesting to study it's potency in person.

All a writer in the OP fandom has to do is have an island that's flowers release sex pollen and happen to have all the captains (and Ace... maybe King) there at the same time as Zoro.

This isn't rocket science. We need more Zoro bowls.

- Frustrated Zoro fans everywhere

For anyone who donated to Diesel's bills, I want you to know I WILL be starting on those projects.

While we were not able to afford the surgery, I was able to afford a vet visit and antibiotics and I did everything they told me including holding a heating pack to the wound for 15 minutes every night and as you can see, the little angel is doing so much better!

I am deeply eternally thankful for what donations I received, and I apologize that it's taken me so long to do.... anything. Anyone who follows the blog knows I deal with my own health issues. They've caused me to lose my job (turns out throwing up at your desk is a faux pas, even if you tell them about your sickness at your interview, even if other people work from home with weak excuses but you're not allowed because "your history of getting sick". ) due to the opioid endemic and my age - I'm under 50 - they only intended the pain meds as a "temporary" fix for a chronic, genetic problem that has no cure short of getting my kidneys replaced. So I'm relearning after two years how to live in full time pain.

I hope you can stay patient with me. I am so thankful for all help and well wishes, I honestly wish I could write for everyone who even promoted my original post. When he was brought to me, I just quit my job and gave my sister all my savings for his surgery and then suddenly, from nowhere, she drove up and left two dogs with me. Turns out that's a lot of expenses, especially when one needed a second surgery. It's honestly thanks to the support I received I was able to get Diesel into a vet; I still haven't been able to take his sister in to see anyone, and my sister didn't leave any of her records, but she seems happy and healthy. According to my mom, they are happier with me now that they're not kept in crates (plus I spoil them pretty heavy with pets and walks; I can barely afford the kidney meds and food the boy needs but damn if I can't pet him for hours!)

I just want to thank everyone once again, and promise you're requests have not been forgotten.

I know it's selfish to ask, but I just need a little more time to adjust to my old pain levels and try and find a passable way to make a living while dealing with this pain (the reason I was given pain meds in the first place was because I worked; the deal was, I found a job I thought I could work so they'd give me pain meds, but without a job, obviously, there is no reason for me not to be in pain. And the pain grew bad enough that I was unable to continue work). But I am so, so thankful and I have not forgotten. I've just had to adjust to a very new lifestyle, and I am so sorry about the delay.

Thank you again, I promise I won't disappoint.

Ann: Why can't any of you guys go nude!?

Skull: That's not what he wants.

Ann: Make it so he does!

Ann being just my favorite. "No, screw that, just be real men and go seduce him yourself!!"

Did anyone record the recent AMA TikTok with Mihawk's actor?

You know, the one where he said, quote, "I think Mihawk finds Zoro Exciting"?

I need it. For a friend. For reasons. For...

For the gay. I need it for the gay.

If anyone is wondering why I haven't updated, there are a number of reasons. However, a major one is that Crunchyroll will no longer allow you to use old versions of the app. What this means is I am no longer able to take screenshots of record small scenes so I can transcribe them or basically do most of what I do here.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this blog, I am a broke ass bitch with a chronic, genetic kidney diseases I had the pleasure of being born with, which severely limits me in a number of ways. One such way is money: medical bills at expensive and even with insurance I owe something like $1,462.78 and that's just the past year. Nevermind the bills I collected from other hospitals/doctors. The result is I live a pretty simply life, including the fact that I don't own any sort of fancy recording equipment like "a pc". Every screenshot, every gif, every artistic and not so artistic edit, every video recording, every single post and fanfic and reply, that is all done from my phone. It's my one and only portal to the Internet and sole tool to do whatever is is I do.

With that in mind, while I am proud I managed to take my degree in English Literary Theory and learn how to do all of that on an older model Android I've had for a few years now, I also know that then bulk of internet denizens are just WAY more skilled/knowledge at this then I will ever be.

Keep in mind, I have no money (so advice along the lines of "just buy this $99 program, it's so easy!" or "why not just get a cheap laptop, you can get one for under $600 EASY these days" or even "you just need a monthly subscription to this OTHER streaming site, that doesn't have a film blocker" just doesn't help, especially since I don't even have my own subscription to CR so there is no just dropping that to pay for another.) I was hoping someone out there knew a method I could use to record the "latest" episodes.

I say latest but I left off at 1078. I know, I'm ages behind, but there is a good reason for it.

Please, anyone who knows how I can take screencaps (recordings would be useful but not required) PLEASE contact me and let me in on your secret.

I won't tattle, I swear. I just want to be able to watch the show and react about it on this blog since, sadly, I've recently lost all my OP watching buddies to various life circumstances.

Failing that, I need someone to agree to watch every single episode along with me as my "recorder", recording long swatches of each episode and then sending to me when we're done so I can get my screencaps and gifs and the likes. The good news? You'd have someone eternally thankful for your contributions, who would credit you in every post, and I wouldn't even use any jokes/observations/thoughts you might share while we watch without permission. And.... errrr. Did I mention the gratitude? Shit, that's really all I have.

But I have so much of it!

Guys, I hate getting all emotional, but I am having a hell of a year between the dogs, the bad diagnosis and, hey, this is currently my face:

For comparison, when I'm not dying:

Just any help or even attempts at advice would be welcomed. I know it's stupid, but a lot of what I personally get from reading/watching/playing things is in sharing it with others. I shouldn't have to explain that, it's part of why places like Tumblr and AO3 EXIST.

Feel free to reach out in a reblog, comment, tag me, DM, message me on discord (gildedmuse). Whatever is easiest. And thank you, so, SO much for any potential advice or help you can offer.

Listen.... Trafalgar Law is like Opposite Pick Me Girl.

Evidence:

He stole Doffy's whole look down to the shirtless sluttiness, feather coat and the earrings.

He COPIED DOFFY'S ACTIVATION METHOD. How "notice me, senpai!!" is THAT!?

Like Doflamingo, he acts as though your attempts at torturing him are absolutely precious.

Law straight up based his jolly roger on Doffy's. Like it's not even kinda subtle. (Not that Law does subtle. Which is weird for someone trying SO HARD to be dark, mysterious, and edge-y as Kikoku. )

Trafalgar spent years of his life travelling around the world, gaining notoriety and power, putting into place a series of intricate moving parts that all had to come together in just the right way all so Doflamingo would notice him and remember his face forever.

Law: Please, Young amaster-sama! Oh, please pick me!

Law: To kick your pathetic, subhuman ass.

[Thanks to @revlischarm who gave me this idea.]
