It would be nice to read a Superman comic that’s more Clark than Kal.
It would be nice to read a Batman comic where Bruce does more good as himself for the issues than as Batman.
It would be nice to see Diana in one of her many jobs like a museum curator bringing beautiful pieces of history to light for people to marvel at or as a diplomat.
It would be nice to see Barry solving crimes with his forensic science without bolting off between every discovery to handle things as Flash.
It would be wonderful to read a story about these awesome heroes that was focused on what good their other identities do, with their heroic personas as background instead of the other way around. I hardly hear of stories that last more than a few issues or an arch that gives us a nice long look into their civilian lives, if anyone knows any longer arcs like this I’d love to read them.

I’m not someone that particularly cares about a ship being canon or not, in fact I would rather the media I consume have no romance at all (giving my blog confusing yes I know)
But there is something about the canon ties between Shanks and Mihawk that drives me feral with need to see what their whole deal is.
Because like there are so many little inconsequential details that when taking separately seem pathetic and weak. But then put together it feels like it paints the picture of a larger undeniable connection and understanding between two wildly different men.
The fact that their main color is both red (Mihawk’s is a more wine dark red than Shanks’ bright red and a little more “subtle” given that Shanks is literally called red hair) but even then their main symbols, their identifying features, are red! Mihawk’s eyes and Shanks hair (yes while I love the gold and think that’s better I cannot ignore the fact that Oda consistently colors in Mihawk’s eyes red even though the gold is infinitely more popular)
They have the same birthday, are practically the same height, both with the promises to our two main protagonists to meet them at the top with a parting “gift”, both serve as a mentor to the protagonist (mihawk literally thought zoro how to kill him 😭), both with the bird(ish) iconography.
The fact that Mihawk, Mihawk! A man whose introduction was that he didn’t care much about anything and caused destruction on a whim, cares enough about what Shanks thinks to mentally apologize before trying to kill luffy (what the fuck).
The fact that whitebeard felt the need to reference his duel with Mihawk in his conversation with Shanks, despite not really being very relevant to the conversation and the fact that this is the first we’ve seen shanks in years and it is brought up in the same context as his relationship with Buggy (an already established relationship) reveals his relationship to Roger seems to point to the fact that this duel between Mihawk and Shanks is an important relationship to shanks. It couldn’t just be to show strength because he was about to clash with whitebeard the strongest man. It’s also hard to notice that those two relationships didn’t end particularly well for shanks.
Also the fact that it was Mihawk out of every character , Mihawk that brought luffy’s bounty to Shanks. Something he obviously knew would mean a lot to him. I used to think the scene was just there to show us how big a deal Shanks actually is like look at that fun childish alcoholic gang inspired our main hero? He’s actually a super big deal and he used to spar with the strongest character by far we had seen at that point (it wasn’t even close) and they fought on equal footing. It added a new layer of mystery to Shanks.
But it’s also the fact that even now with Mihawk’s bounty Shanks was mentioned and he’s the only one who this was mentioned for. Crocodile is just for his df and intelligence and they don’t mention that he literally tried and almost succeeded in subjugating a country and he was beat by luffy “or smoker given how many marines actually know the truth” even buggy who was literally Shanks’ sworn brother under the pirate king doesn’t get a mention like that. But Shanks and this duel is so integral to Mihawk’s character that it’s mentioned along with the only other long lasting fact we know about him and that is that he is the World’s Strongest Swordsman. Isn’t that fucking insane.
And like I feel insane scrapping all these details together as proof of something because they are all (besides the duel) the barest bones of a connection but god it is actually driving me insane.
And I’m not saying Mishanks is going to become canon or that it should or that I even particularly want it too. What I do want is to see how deeply these two are connected. What are these red strings of fate tying them to each other. Why can’t apparently ten years of little contact sever it? I swear to god if it’s actually nothing much I will lose my fucking mind. If nothing ever comes of all of this I will actually go insane. How can some people look at this and not see foreshadowing!?!?!!

“does anyone every actually choose death”
i wanna see someone choose death. i wanna see someone put everything on the line - of making that choice to risk it all - all for one being
that if they have to choose between “coffee” and death - if they can’t make their own side to escape the system - they say fuck it all because the other is just too important and the system too fucked to even try anymore
most of all i wanna see that smug bastard metatron be wrong

Ahsoka taking in Sabine as an apprentice is not an inherently bad decision. Ahsoka taking the role as a mentor is fine. They both could learn a lot from each other.
It is the use of the term Padawan that is wrong.
Ordinary people use apprenticeships to train and teach before becoming a master of an art. Even the Sith use that method and terminology.
However, Padawan is a very specific term used exclusively within the Jedi Order. Using this term liberally, incorrectly, could be considered cultural appropriation.
And Sabine's relationship to her Mandalorian heritage was a key part of her story in Rebels. She was strongly invested in preserving their art and history.
Pushing Sabine into a Jedi lifestyle is not only unnecessary, but disrespectful to both cultures and her character development.
I am not saying a Mandalorian cannot also be a Jedi; that is exactly what Grogu's story is about! But, for these characters with this background, it is inappropriate and pointless.
Maybe if we get more insight into Sabine and Ahsoka's history together and her rumored sensitivity it will be okay, but right now it makes me very uncomfortable.

I hope Dave Filoni realises the type of crimes I will commit if they have Ahsoka find Ezra without Sabine, Hera, Zeb and Chopper
