WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE

So normally we only get fullblown, extended and dedicated flashbacks for heroic characters in One Piece, the characters who we're meant to root for. The literal only TRUE exception we've had to this rule was Big Mom's flashback. Even fucking Doflamingo's flashback was tied to Law and Rosinante's

So the fact that we haven't gotten a single fucking GLIMPSE at Crocodile's backstory is?!?

Like sure, we haven't gotten like a Moria flashback, but you know, he literally told us all we needed to know himself, AND we got to see glimpses of him in the Wano flashbacks. Arlong didn't get a flashback of his own, but he did get to cameo in Fisher Tiger's flashback. And Rob Fucking Lucci got a flashback that was 6 whooping panels long

BUT CROCODILE?? Not only do we know almost Fuck All about his story, but also have never gotten as much as a glimpse at it? But his backstory has been HINTED and TEASED at multiple times??

GUYS. FELLAS

Like. I am SURE the "Full Backstories for Heroes Only" rule is going to get broken again, but with Imu and Blackbeard already there just BEGGING to have their beans spilled, can we even be sure Sir Fucking Crocodile is somehow going to become A Villain So Dangerous To The Narrative that he ALSO should also recieve a Full Fucking Backstory?? For his Nefarious Schemes?? AT THIS POINT??

Y'all

I think it's more likely Oda's been saving up Croc's backstory because it might just completely recontextualize his entire character

Why is the anime so weird, it's not even the same series dude?? It's like,

Anime:

GOKU: I have a great idea to bring peace to the universe, and my leadership and compassion alone will unite us all. I have No Flaws and am A True Relatable Everyman :)

VEGETA: NO! I AM THE BEST AND I WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS UNTIL I AM RECOGNIZED AS SUCH!!!!

Manga:

GOKU: Vegeta what's cornmeal made of? I know it's what the corn eats, but what's it made of? VEGETA: Hey Kakarot let's play the quiet game until one of us dies.

i'm just. taking a break from work and thinking about the fact that it's been almost two years since the c2 finale and that campaign still has me in a chokehold. i still think about the wizards all the time, which shouldn't surprise anyone but it's still remarkable. just taking a little moment to be in my feelings about them on main, nothing to see here

[CN] Kiro's Unbiased Mirroring Mind's Quest Preview

🌸 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for content that hasn't been released on the EN server yet! 🌸

In front of you, I am transparent.

If you love me, don't be patient.

Translator: @cheesy09

✨ Unbiased Mirroring Mind's Quest Preview:

The days of rest disrupted by work from BS make you start to daydream—

All the special memories of the past are related to that identity.

Simply show everything off and let him once again become a "bad guy" that you can't forget. Both the golden sun and the silver moon are willing to embrace each other in your heart at this moment.

—"If you love me, don't be patient."

Kiro came back injured. After I help him bandage his wounds, I decide to help him clear the game myself. Who knew that I would forget to redeem the prize after winning! In order to compensate for Kiro's wasted efforts, we go on a date to the amusement park to relax, but it seems like the trip isn't particularly joyful... How should we compromise? Kiro and I grope for the answer.

"Huh, when did I become a bad guy?"

"It was when you came to see me as Helios a long, long time ago."

For a moment, Kiro's throat rolls violently, and his expression suddenly becomes a little reserved.

"You... still remember."

It's over. I seem to have said the wrong thing.

Seeing that not only the tail of the person on the other side is drooping, but also that dark clouds have gathered above his head, I cough lightly, trying to mentally make up for my faux pas.

"Ahem, actually, looking back now, I just find it interesting that you were "bad" back then!"

"Interesting?"

"What's interesting?"

His hand quietly exerts a bit of force and the temperature warms the glass goldfish we held in our palms.

Even though it's clearly a memory from a very long time ago, for some reason, when I mention it, the entanglement with the person in front of me at that time is still clear, as if it were yesterday.

All that bitterness, the sorrows and joys are superimposed with more experiences, becoming memories that can be spoken of frankly.

"For example, you never let me follow you back then, and you often deliberately scared me..."

"That time in the clinic, I clearly recognized you, but you still insisted on saying that you weren't Kiro, deliberately not recovering from your injuries and yet..."

"What?"

"What else did you say, "Did you think I was going to kiss you?"?"

"Now that I think about it, you really were a bad guy."

"........."

Kiro pauses for breath. There is a hint of emotion in his eyes that I can't fathom.

Supporting himself on the floor, he moves closer to me.

"Why do I feel... you seem to relish me like that more?"

@thatfanfictionchick WHERE YOU AT, GIRL??? OUR BOY'S FINALLY HERE 😭💕

Imagine thinking someone having fun with a fictional narrative and viewing it from the perspective of their character in the game says something about the state of their real life relationship(s)....

Imagine believing that people who enjoy a dark romance in a fantasy game are mostly all in unhealthy relationships and/or cannot recognize healthy relationships in real life.

Imagine not realizing there are people who can separate fantasy from reality and not incorporate their own emotions, opinions, or biases into their characters.

Imagine thinking someone enjoying the concept of something (that could be considered unhealthy in real life) within a safe and fictional space, somehow means they want or experience that in real life.

Imagine not realizing that some people like things because they just enjoy the theme or concept and it has nothing to do with deep, personal, psychological trauma things.

Imagine believing the (minimally) "kinky" part of a video game ending is the only other reason someone would enjoy it, if their "personal unresolved trauma" isn't the reason.

Imagine believing in "protecting" your personal interpretation of open-ended writing, coupled with your personal trauma, experiences, biases, and real life values and seeing it as more important than the feelings of other real life people. And treating it as the only correct interpretation.

Imagine believing that because you would have been into something you view as a negative, when you were dealing with certain trauma, those who are into it now are also into it for that same reason and no other reason. They're all just unhealthy people in need of healing and therapy uwu*

--

Anyone who's actually healthy with empathy wouldn't want to imagine any of that, but for some here that seems to be their reality.

It is wild to me how some people act about a concept of a person with a face in a pixel realm set in a world that only exists on paper. Like, to the point they make swooping assumptions that are actually offensive to real life, living, breathing people and then pridefully present those assumptions as hardcore truths of some sort. WILD.

Send 💎 for a screenshot associated with glamour or wealth.

"You really think all your riches, your wealth, your piles of gil, will save you from my blade?"

"Of course not, silly girl. What they would do is ripple out and trigger a sea of upheaval and chaos in this fair city that would tear it to pieces. But if you truly think removing my head would solve Ul'dah's problems, and not plunge it into torments capable of destroying the very poor you think you're saving and our dear sultana both... you are welcome to try."

"...Who said I'm here for some sort of noble purpose regarding the poor? Or what you did to Nanamo? What if I'm just really pissed about what you did to me at the banquet?"

"If Elilgeim Wiltarwyn, Warrior of Light, is truly so blinkered, then the realm is already lost. I do not believe she is. Do you...Ellie?"

tbh i had a lot of difficulty coming up with an idea for this until I remembered the one person Ellie's met in her career that so emphasizes a glamourous lifestyle made possible by his wealth, and how she would grind him into a fine paste if she could get away with it. it's extremely upsetting for her to learn that she, in fact, cannot just cut the head off of capitalism. :')

thanks for the prompt, @viiioca!!

hOGUHEgh my god I've been playing so much Side Order lately that when I'm minding my own business not actively playing the game, I'll just hear Enemy Sounds in the back of my brain. I could be trying to sleep and suddenly [Enemy spawning sound]
