I think it’s interesting how as time goes on Zoro kind of becomes more and more like mihawk in some ways whether that’s just because if you spend time with someone for 2 years you’re bound to pick up their habits or a deliberate attempt to emulate him is a conversation for another time. And Mihawk and Zoro where already pretty similar at the start so it’s a little hard to notice now.
But yeah whether unconsciously or consciously Zoro is becoming a bit more like Mihawk and it’s interesting to think that while this means maturing in some ways (he’s swordsmanship for one but he’s also just quieter much more assured of himself) it also means deaging in some others.
Despite their significant age gap and general dispositions, when it comes down to it Zoro is just a lot more emotionally mature and developed than Mihawk is. And a big part of why is because he found something larger than himself to devote his life too, hell Mihawk himself even kind of acknowledges this when he agrees to take Zoro on as a student when Zoro begs for the sake of his captain and crew. He acknowledges that putting aside his own ego and dreams for the sake of someone else isn’t something he can do and sees it as a fault in himself and a strength in Zoro.
Mihawk may be outwardly mature and his skills defiently did not stagnant but I’d wager that Mentally Mihawk is still stuck at the same age he was when he took over the title of world’s strongest swordsman. Honestly maybe even younger. And it isn’t until training Zoro, letting Perona stay with him, for probably the first time in his life taking charge of lives outside his own did he finally unarrest his development.
If Zoro is purposely trying to emulate Hawkeyes, which it wouldn’t be a surprise if he was that’s who he’s trying to be Afterall, then it would honestly set him back emotionally because fundamentally as he is now Mihawk’s attitude doesn’t work in a crew. It’s too singular, too abrasive. And while that abrasiveness can be useful in Zoro’s role as Luffy’s first mate sometimes it makes him a little too callous a little too apathetic, like with his disregard for Luffy’s sadness over vegapunk.
But Zoro has his crew to temper that, they are honestly just too ridiculous to ever stay serious around. And try as he might to hide it Zoro is also just a silly dude who likes to be horrifically petty with his opponents. And zoro still has so much fire in him, so much he has too prove and so much he wants to protect to ever really fall into Mihawk’s apathy. Zoro has Luffy who even after they reach their dreams will probably still continue to turn the world upside down forever keeping Zoro in some kind of trouble and his life interesting.
Zoro can’t be Mihawk because even Mihawk can’t be Mihawk anymore. Being with crossguild and crossing with the Red hair pirates and the strawhats is going to change him, it has too. if Mihawk is going to live after losing his title he’s probably gonna have to become a little bit more like Zoro.

By the way guys, they released the list of other songs they’re gonna be using in part two.
I’m just gonna leave this here:
IM ACTUALLY GONNA GO SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST, GO CRY, THROW MYSELF OFF THE NEAREST BRIDGE, AND BURY MYSELF ALIVE, IN FACT.
ADDING “YOU BELONG WITH ME” AS THE LAST SONG ON THIS LIST—MEANING IT’LL PROBABLY BE AT THE END OF EPISODE EIGHT—IS ACTUALLY SO CRUEL. LIKE. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT IF THAT ISNT INTENTIONAL??? SCREAMING.
IM DEAD. IM LITERALLY SOBBING. SCREAMING. CRYING. THROWING UP. HEAVING FOR MY LIFE. HOWLING. HYPERVENTILATING. GIGGLING. KICKING MY FEET. GAGGED.
lord have mercy on my soul. I’m never gonna recover from part two on Thursday. I’m literally going to ✨p a s s a w a y✨. HELP.

I came out to my apprenticeship supervisor as non binary yesterday, and I’m still floating on that high (he was so adorable and kind and supportive, almost started crying in his office (which wouldn’t have been the first time, there seems to be a common theme of me just bursting into tears whenever I talk to him))

It’s come to my attention that people don’t know that baby girl (also known as Mickey Altieri) was already an established serial killer before the events of even the first Scream movie. I’d highly recommend viewing the YouTube video I’ll tag in a second.
I’m literally obsessed with him and have done and unhealthy amount of deep diving into Mickey’s character. He is by far my favorite Ghostface simply for the reason he doesn’t REALLY have a motive. Bro was just bored out of his mind and wanted some entertainment (his trial/blame the movies rant) and I believe that makes him the most dangerous and the BEST Ghostface Scream has ever created.

GODDDD i just miss being able to watch new episodes of riverdale live and have FUN with them. i remember watching the josie and the pussycats episode in my tiny single dorm room with like 5 of my friends packed onto my twin bed and when archie kissed kevin on the cheek we all ERUPTED in a screaming fit. and then a few weeks later we all did the same thing with the next to normal episode and again like when charles burst into the room singing we stood up and cheered like our sports team had just scored a touchdown or whatever. and even though i didn’t really like s6 very much it STILL had moments like these in the majority of episodes. but now every week i watch it alone in my bed on my laptop and i spend the entire time brain rottingly bored at best and genuinely upset and angry at worst. like what happened i miss riverdale!!!! :(

I gotta say, I’m curious if narcissistic assholes ever stop to wonder why the person who is a thorn in their side is, by all other accounts, just a silly little guy. Like, do they ever realize how MASSIVELY they must have fucked up to get the designated ray of sunshine to hate them??
