You know I was wondering if Crocodile ever did have any kind of involvement with the Revolutionary Army in secret (lest the Government finds out and revokes his Shichibukai status), what kind of involvement would that even have been

And now, with both the Vegapunk/Ohara flashback and Kuma's flashback, it's being made very clear to us that the Revolutionary Army was broke as hell 22 years ago. Like the fact that this has been brought up twice now in a relatively short span of time is interesting to me, that's usually a sign it's not an unimportant plotpoint

But you know who would have had money to help fund the Army

A funny little warlord who would eventually go and build a fucking casino to run for funsies. A warlord who had to give the Government some of his Pirating Income to keep his warlord-status

Like Crocodile hated the Government anyways so why not help fund the Revolutionary Army in secret, out of spite if for no other reason

Vaguely related, but I keep on remembering this scene (post-Enies Lobby), which at first glance just seems like a basic Lore Dump

But then there's the

"Yet..."

(Or "however", she says "no ni" in Japanese and you could translate that in many ways, I would probably have gone with "however" but that wouldn't have fit into the speechbubble)

Mind you, the conversation just kind of ends there, next we see Garp realize he probably shouldn't have mentioned Dragon infront of such a massive audience, so wherever that "yet" was going to lead to we will never find out, because Oda conveniently changed the subject before we got to it

And you know. Like yes, Robin could be just expressing her shock over finding out that the leader of the Revolutionary Army had a child with someone

But also, Robin was a part of an organization that was trying to overthrow one of the founding countries of the World Government in an explicit attempt to go against said Government (compared to like, Blackbeard, who currently wants to make Fullalead into a "pirate country" that's a part OF the World Government)

Like you don't have to be a genius to look at Crocodile's ultimate goals and compare that to what Dragon is doing and find a few similarities here and there maybe

(Also like, Crocodile's equivalent in Romancing SaGa 2 is meant to be Wagnas, the queer-coded leader of the Seven Heroes (whom the OG Shichibukai are based on) who "hoped to help the world". You know, an interesting detail and all.)

Not to mention, during the time Robin spent with Baroque Works, if Crocodile was ever in contact with the Revolutionary Army at all, considdering she has the ability to easily spy on people and that she didn't trust Crocodile one bit, it wouldn't be unsurprising if she ever spied on Crocodile and/or just overheard a phone call or knew about Crocodile having secret spending habits or something

(Mind you, I'm not saying "she knew" Crocodile was involved with the Revolutionaries, more that she might've been Suspecting Things, that "yet" being about her connecting the dots while unsure if her conclusion was right or not)

Of course Crocodile's plans can't have been Dragon Approved by any means, especially considdering the Army had been looking for Robin for over 10 years (pre-timeskip)

Four years of which were with Crocodile. Like if he was FULLY allied with the Army and KNEW they were looking for Robin, surely he would've called Dragon and been like "hey I found the kid from Ohara, wanna come hang out" or something. But no, he had bigger plans and kept Robin a secret from the Revolutionaries and the Government alike

Also like, I have seen people question why the Revolutionaries weren't involved with Alabasta's rebellion at all, and "Oda hadn't come up with the Revolutionaries yet at the time of writing" (/"OP was meant to end at Alabasta at one point so there would've been no reason to introduce the subplot at that point") aside Between Baroque Works being a secret organization working undercover (thus the Army might not have been aware of the civil war being manufactured), the framing of the King making him look bad and very much the type of monarch that deserved to be overthrown in the Army's eyes, and Crocodile maybe lying through his teeth about what was happening in the country... Yeah, the Army's lack of involvement with Alabasta suddenly makes sense

EDIT Minor addition: Just realized that because Crocodile was technically working for the Government, if the Revs ever did send forces to participate in Alabasta's civil army and taking down the throne, the Government could've easily ordered Crocodile to step in to stop the rebellion and take down the Revolutionaries, right? Because he was supposed to be on the Government's side, right? And surely the Army wouldn't have wanted to fight against Crocodile if they were secretly allied (Croc's secret betrayal aside), and if Crocodile refused to fight the Revs the Government could've seen that as a reason to revoke his Shichibukai rights (which wouldn't be great if they wanted to keep Crocodile in a position where he could fund the Army?). So it could've also been a case of it being for the best for everyone's sake to let this one play out "naturally"

But my point is

I'm just deeply intriqued by these little details and wonder if I'm Actually Masterfully Connecting The Dots Like a True Genius or just seeing a pattern where there's none. Like this is far from confirming the theory, I'm just saying, the pieces do kinda fit together do they not

post-canon every single member of kimcom likes to spoon kim dokja. nonsexually. it's just nice to know he's alive and there and feel his chest rise and fall within the circle of your arms. try to do something stupid now asshole. oh you can't? because of my octopus impression? that's right. take THAT. however i will make one exception for yoo joonghyuk. yoo joonghyuk may want to spoon kim dokja, but he never gets the opportunity because kim dokja wants to spoon him more. so the sleeping arrangement is yjh>kdj>all other kimcom members on rotation. actually i take it back there's one other household member who doesn't want to spoon kim dokja and it's yoo mia, but that's fine because she's one of the only people (besides kim dokja) who yoo joonghyuk would be comfortable spooning. so there's probably times when it's yma>yjh>kdj>today's lucky winner.

incidentally this is also the order for the doing-each-other's-hair train because while yoo mia WILL allow other people to do her hair, no one wants to because she always compares their skills unfavorably to her brother's. and she's really articulate about it. just utterly scathing. one time her criticism was so devastatingly, accurately incisive that she made lee hyunsung cry. yoo joonghyuk spooned him that night to cheer him up and yoo mia was so mad about it that lee hyunsung had to leave the country for a couple weeks. the household learned a valuable lesson that day. it's best not to disturb the delicate spooning/hair-train balance.

I think abt Twilight Princess’s Hyrule so much it’s not even funny. It’s soooooo fuckin weird and I love it.

There are inexplicable chasms. Everywhere. What’s beyond them? There’s no ocean, the biggest (and only) body of water is lake hylia. The entire continent seems to be a plateau. There are mostly hylians but also just Normal Actual Humans in Ordon village. Where did the humans come from/disappear to? There’s a secret resistance, but it’s unclear what they’re resisting. The Gerudo desert exists. It is walled off for some reason and you have to access it via canon. The Gerudo themselves are just fucking gone. This is probably because the Hyrulean royal family committed genocide. The only signs of them are at the Hyrulean royal family’s off-site prison/execution grounds. They had a dinosaur at the off-site prison/execution grounds. What were they doing with the dinosaur?? There are four provinces, of which the main three are named after the three golden goddesses, and their respective light spirits. Are these light spirits the goddesses? Servants? Something else? They do not make another appearance in any other game (to my knowledge), so we don’t know. The fourth province is named “ordonna”, after the light spirit, ordonna. What is ordonna? She is completely omitted from the creation story interloper section. Is she not important? She’s literally never mentioned again in any other game, she doesn’t even have a mountain or hill in botw. Was she just so good at minding her own business that when like. Calamity Ganon showed up for the first time, she just took her whole province and peaced out??? Is she just the fourth goddess before skyward sword lore made hylia the main goddess and removed all significance from the other three???

@nowuseemee13 ive seen ppl over the years complain about not having enough bipolar support spaces but im gonna be real with yall, they dont really exist because the only actual support u need is getting on medication. like point blank peroid and let me be clear i am speaking solely about bipolar here, because bipolar disorder is a genetic disorder, it is solely a physical brain condition that cannot be managed without medication and once u are on a medication that is working for u, then there's really not any more support u need for the bipolar specifically because the symptoms literally just stop. the mania stops the hallucinations stop the deep depressive episodes stop, ect ect. like literally it all just turns off. and so people dont need those support groups anymore because their bipolar is being managed effectively and their symptoms are in remission. and medication is the only way to achieve that, no amount of cbt or dbt or talk therapy will make ur bipolar disorder stop because it is a malfunctioning of the physical organ if u have other issues like adhd or cptsd or ocd or any other conditions (which lots of ppl do) then obviously those symptoms still remain, but then people usually move to spaces for those conditions. and so bipolar spaces dont really have a reason to exist because most people shortly after learning they have bipolar, are then put on medication and have their symptoms alleviated. so bipolar disorder DOES have the support it needs, that support just doesnt include therapy groups or discord servers because thats not what we need. because even when u do find bipolar support groups or discord servers (which ive been in a fair few) they are Always populated almost solely by unmedicated and actively symptomatic ppl being insanely manic or suicidal and so anyone who is medicated and learning to manage leave immediately because it ends up being a wildly unsafe space to be in so it has nothing to do with bipolar disorder not having enough support or acknowlegement or anything, its literally just that that kinda space is useless and unhelpful so no one makes it and most ppl dont waste their time with it

possible controversial opinion i don't really care too much about the geographical accuracy of 'regional gothic' tags. i think it makes sense when people base it on vibes. when i see people tag my photos/videos as 'midwest gothic' i'm not like 'well actually that photo was taken in the southern/western region!' it's whatever unless there is a texas flag in the post then it's kinda funny. but yeah not that deep not really worth discourse or whatever.

I’m so glad that as I’m getting older I’m becoming more proud of my Cornish heritage and culture it is something so beautiful to me :) even though sometimes I’m just completely unaware that something is a Cornish thing lol. My mum is proper Cornish and she’ll always make a point of saying something if I mention someone and they have a really Cornish name and I’m just there like wait what cause that’s just a name I’m very familiar with.

Some of these memes in The Locked Tomb ensure that if someone is reading these books like 10 years from now they'll just go "huh? what does that even mean? i don't get it??" It's one thing to have references that date a work but there's dialogue that at best becomes kind of nonsensical and at worst incomprehensible without the knowledge of specific memes

rare myopia W was when i got an mri and they were like we've put this little mirror at the end of the tube so you can see the outside in case you get claustrophobic. but it's so normal to me to not be able to see a foot in front of my face without my glasses on that it didn't bother me not to be able to see the outside in the first place. i was just chilling.
