as a severely mentally ill 14 year old, I remember thinking “the medical system would treat me better if I was physically ill and not mentally ill” and then I coincidentally developed multiple chronic illnesses and found out that actually they dgaf even when you’re essentially bedridden

learning that addiction is a progressive narrowing of the range of things that make one happy was kinda life changing for me. i apply it to everything not even just addiction i am always checking to ask if i am narrowing my range of happiness or widening it

I made a bunch of yugioh gifs. You're welcome.

They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.

do you think we'd have been made a god, had we been narcissus?

Personally? I refuse to get over the fact that Monkey D. Luffy, one of the most fearless, reckless, tough, impulsive, fight-happy, determined, rough, hopeful characters I have ever seen in fiction, does not have a fight reflex when he is legitimately afraid.

He has a freeze reflex.

You know how few protagonists have a freeze reflex?

You know how many One Piece characters have a fight reflex? It's probably most of them (Ace, Zoro, and Kid are pretty notable examples). And after that, flight is probably next (Usopp, Nami, etc).

But Luffy has a freeze reflex. Consistently. Sure, he's learned to push through it, to snap out of it, but when he's really truly scared? It's like he's seven and helpless all over again, and he can't move. Just for a second.

thinking about when my professor told me how the boards of companies/orgs/etc. will sometimes hire on a CEO/whatever who they know will basically take a chainsaw to existing infrastructure, let them fuck as much shit up as possible, and then promptly fire them as soon as they've accomplished what the board wanted them to do. then they can point the finger at that guy & look like they're the heroes and the problem is resolved because he's gone now. and they still get to keep all the changes they wanted that nobody else did.

anyway I think it's fun and all to watch the two most divorced men on the planet publicly divorce each other. and also. maybe keep that in mind, is all.

GAMMA KNIFE!!

Redraw/re imagining of one of my favorite panels. It's a small one and I only have it in atrociously low quality but this is where Doflamingo's internal organs get absolutely fried by gamma radiation to the degree that he starts spewing blood and smoke like an actual dragon and eventually falls to his knees. Law shortened his lifespan to pull this off and I hope that even though Doflamingo managed to stitch himself together, he'll get to enjoy the many long term side effects of radiation exposure in prison :)

Anyway, I love that panel because of the movement and the SPLATTER that I just straight up tried to copy because it's really good splatter. I feel like the anime fumbled this one (and Luffy's final punch) by dragging it out for far too long. It lost its omph. I would loooove to see this re-animated because it's such a cathartic moment of complete fuck you and deserves to feel like one in motion.

The favorite panel:

I wouldn't dare attempt to redraw this one because that GRRHHH-face and the BRRWMMM-effects are perfect. He's fuckin vibrating with 13 years of condensed super rage, about to unleash. Love that for him <3

The production value here is off the charts but this is also literally just what it feels like to play Uno.

Remember to make space for the heteros this month too - yes, really.

Lesbians who became straight men

Gay men who became straight women

All straight drag artists (note that not all of them are cis!)

People with complex identities who thusly encompass multiple orientations (like genderfluid and multigender people who, yes, are sometimes straight, or even simultaneously with other labels)

Hetero aro and ace people. Especially. Seriously.

People with fluid orientations

Gnc people who find joy in their straightness

Many queer people are also straight. Queerness is note solely reliant on gayness. These people too, are a part of pride. Remember that.

I learned a lot about edges and light and color relationships here.
