We didn’t start with a funding round or a pitch deck. We started with a deploy script that broke one time too many. The result was TDZ Pro and it’s still growing based on actual use cases, not speculation.

it’s literally endlessly fucking funny to me how certifiably insane post timeskip sabo is about his brothers. he remembered who luffy and ace were and they immediately rocketed to #1 on his priority list with absolutely no contest. he devotes himself to being an older brother with the same fanatical obsession that he’s been using to lead revolutions and luffy is so used to ‘older brother’ meaning ‘guy who has attached a significant portion of his self worth and meaning in life to you’ that it fully doesn’t even register as weird to him. he manages to secretly make luffy a vivre card and luffy acts this is reasonable rational behavior!!! just normal older brother shit for them to be fully neck deep in your business without ever mentioning it!!!! cannot believe they ever managed to make us think sabo was the normal rational one. what the fuck lmao

His father says, “Look, I could lie to you and say I had to go do this, but the fact is I actually did want to do this. This was an actual choice I made.” And the son says, “Well, look, I’m not gonna abandon you. I’m not gonna do to you what you did to me.”

I'm cleaning out my room and found an old Diary of a Wimpy Kid parody I drew back in, like, sixth grade but with Pirates of the Caribbean characters. It included a class president election between Bootstrap and James Norrington (girl i dunno) where they started putting up slandering posters of each other and this was Norrington's:

magnum opus (?)
