#I DON’T HAVE TEARS LEFT

[lexch4n]

“The unwound future” MORE LIKE ME CRYING ALL THE TEARS MY BODY WAS KEEPING

[frostybearpaws]

ALSO

Cooper and Barb!!!!!!

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love a tragic doomed romance, we know from the beginning that she divorced him because the dad at the party mentioned alimony for why he’s performing at kid’s birthday parties

and then we ACTUALLY meet her their interactions are so sweet but also there’s a sense of foreboding because she of the look she makes when presenting the idea of him being the face of vault-tec and

gaaaaaaaaaah

I believe that she wanted to do what was best for her family, so much so that she was willing to end the world if it meant getting into a good vault

I don’t think Barb is an evil person. I think she was a scared person. It seemed like the end of the world was right at their doorstep, she already experienced first hand the worry of someone she loves going off to fight in the sino-american war.

then she got into a company that was offering a solution and it seemed like a wonderful thing she could invest in. So she rose through the ranks to secure a future for her family in a time when the future was so ambiguous and terrifying.

by the time Vault-Tec was in full swing she was in a high position, she drank the cool aid and her main focus was on protecting her family, no matter what.

I think in a desperate effort to protect her family from annihilation, she became the very driving force that destroyed the world.

there’s so much beauty in that, burning the world for the people you love.

anyway that’s me ranting about Barb because we love a gaslight girlboss <3

But didn’t shanks said they’re gonna go to laugh take together on “OUR own ship” when buggy was sick?

so, two things about this.

the first is a request for someone to please send me the raws to look at so i can make my own judgement on how literally to take this translation, because i read too many bad, official translations of manga in the early aughts to trust blindly. (eta: someone did!)

the second thing, assuming the translation is accurate: was buggy awake and aware enough to hear that? you can see a little gyaaaa sound effect that i assume is buggy screaming in the background, but idk what setting the anime provides for shanks in that scene. the manga panel has no background; shanks could be sitting next to buggy’s bed or he could be standing outside crocus’ office, for all i know. and even if he’s right next to buggy, with a high enough fever buggy might not retain any memories of events going on around him.

which is to say: just because shanks intended for the two of them to go to laugh tale together doesn’t mean buggy knew about it.

even during their roguetown conversation about laugh tale, when shanks says he changed his mind about going there he uses the phrase ima no tokoro (at present/for the time being). it sounds to me like a “not yet” sentiment (which seems very reasonable tbh, the two of them are fifteen, a two-man crew of teenagers is gonna have trouble getting to the new world, let alone laugh tale), but that is still enough of a shock to buggy that he rejects shanks for saying it.

okay, dialogue/translation nitpicking talk under the cut:

this is another situation where i really want to review the original japanese dialogue before i make a judgement!

because yes, the sj translation does have shanks saying that:

Chapter 967, Page 16

but then during the roguetown fight buggy says “that you’d take your own ship to laugh tale one day!!” (emphasis mine):

Chapter 1082, Page 8

so i am dying to know whether these two panels are using the same turn of phrase—or near enough to it, given buggy’s kinda rude, slangy way of speaking—because whether they are or not tells us a lot about how much buggy knew.

So caught up in seeing sskk I forgot I’d have to go through old man yaoi loss again 😔

how are we feeling about the new netflix adaptation of avatar??!!!!!!!!!!!! the zuko casting eats and swolzai is so cool to see actually translated well (although we will see how they treat the characters in this)

HEYYYYYYOOOOO!

The only thing I’m really looking forward to from the live action is being able to gossip about it with my mutuals. I don’t really have any other opinion, I mean… it looks cool! (Sokkas hair & zukos scar bother me but ehhhh what can I do?) But I’m an animation junky, I love my anime and my cartoons (bobs burgers beloved) so I don't particularly care for the “real people actors” taking over my cartoons but I’m totally chill about it honestly.

I will ABSOLUTELY be watching it and probably will form a more solid opinion after I actually watch the show.

Crying but idk why

[catboywizard]

are you fucking kidding meee

i’m not sure if it was a glitch or not but i finally got frustrated and looked up what i’m supposed to be doing in totk cause i couldn’t figure out out, and it turns out the reason i wasn’t able to do jack shit is because a character who’s supposed to be following me left ages ago. like literally like 2 or 3 hours ago… for no reason

i literally took this video cause i thought it was funny that he made me take that fall damage since i couldn’t pull my glider out in time, but now it’s just evidence of his crimes against me

[neo-shitty]

oh i just want to cry rn

[clockworkbibliophile]

do you ever get so unbearably inexhaustibly heart wrenchingly lonely that u reach out to everyone u were ever close with in ur life and then break down sobbing in tears bc nothing is the same and nothing will ever be the same again
