jjk 259 spoilers

the afterlife is starting to get crowded

[cxlandine]

now i really hope this isn't right, but i gotta say it

kalina said ragh barkrock, not lydia. lydia has experience with these things, she knows how to seal it and she's pretty cognizant and capable at the moment so she doesn't need ragh to explain on her behalf. maybe kalina just said ragh because he used to be infected (and he wasn't born with it so we can assume lydia wasn't) so she knows him better, but. lydia's already occupied with the gem in her chest. IF the same ritual needed to happen to seal the shatter stars again, lydia wouldn't be strong enough in her current state since she's weakened by the gem. gorgug's strength score dropped to 18 since taking more levels of artificer. ragh still has a +5. as far as we know the closest person to the bad kids who COULD have the strength to fuse with the gem is ragh, who also has some experience with it already. and if he did he would experience the same illness as his mother if not worse.

You know we all meme about how Luffy doesn't give a shit about his parents/Dragon, how he seemingly has no interest in learning about the man or meeting him at all, and like yeah that is a Luffyism

And for a long time I figured Baby Luffy would be the same too; that Luffy in his naïvete just accepted he must've spawned from the ocean itself into Garp's care or something, not realizing he should in fact have parents, thus Luffy's seeming disinterest in them

But you know what

Luffy did spend most of his early childhood alone

Sure, he had Garp, but it seems like Garp wasn't always there to look after him every day, he had his duties as a Marine too. Had Garp been there 24/7 all year then Garp would never have allowed Luffy to interact with Shanks (a filthy pirate) to begin with. So yes, Luffy had his grandpa, but not all the time. And sure, Luffy also had Shanks, but Shanks didn't spend all his time in Fuusha Village either, he came and went whenever he pleased too until his final departure when Luffy was just six years old. And yes, there was everyone else in the village too, people who cared about Luffy and were helping look after him. But Luffy's early childhood was one without a stable family.

It wasn't until Garp yeeted the child into Dadan's care that Luffy actually gained a proper family, where after months and months of trying Luffy managed to win Ace's trust and gained Sabo as a brother too. But as we know, by that point Luffy already hated being alone

All of this to say; Luffy growing up essentially orphaned would explain why he's so afraid to be alone, the way he clings onto people

In some ways Luffy's POV is meant to be the reader's POV, to some degree Luffy's feelings and thoughts are meant to be how we the readers feel and think about whaveter is happening in the story. Not a 100% by any means, but somewhat at the very least.

Perhaps Luffy's lack of interest in Dragon isn't just "Luffy not giving a damn about blood family because chosen families are better" nor "Luffy is too stupid to understand where babies come from". Perhaps Luffy, who may have assumed he didn't have parents at all (as in "might've assumed they were dead or had intentionally abandoned him"), doesn't know what to think about the fact that he does have a father out there, one whom he has never as much as met. Because yeah, Luffy doesn't know why Dragon left him with Garp, why he never got to be with his dad. Should he be angry at Dragon, hate him for being left alone? Or did Dragon have a good reason for it, does Dragon wish things could've been different?

Perhaps Luffy's seeming disinterest in Dragon isn't because he doesn't care about blood family, but because much like us the readers, Luffy doesn't quite know what to make of Dragon, and figuring those feelings out hasn't been relevant to the plot yet.

"DogDay... I-Is that you?"

(Directed to Solar)

[Solars ears perked up and he somewhat just. Froze. At the sound of the voice. Could it be..?

He turned to look at him, an expression of pure shock on his face.]

"K... kickin....?"

Learning Majong with the Tita's, I sense I'm about to get fleeced

Gangreen Reunion 115-119 FINALE! (this might be the longest one and I'm sorry for that! lol)

Becky encourages them to hold off on rushing to buy a house and they decide to live with her for a while as she was also getting lonely living by herself. Ace has a new plan and who can guess what the next story will be about? whoever guesses it right will get a cookie 🍪🍪🍪!

Some character designs I created for my uni course last year as part of a “trope smashing” brief! I really enjoyed how these guys turned out - I see them as a private investigative pair in a fantasy victorian-esque setting, with perhaps some sci-fi elements. And yes, they’re husbands.

So, a lot of people out there imagine fics in their head before bed, right?

And IDK why, but this past few nights, my brain has decided to make Casey Jones Jr SUFFER.

This stuff is TOO HEAVY ANGST. If I actually wrote it out as a fic, y'all would probably look at it and go "now this is TOO FAR." Hence the reason for this post. But SOMEONE has to suffer here with me. Even so, it might be TOO HEAVY STILL. BUT I NEED TO SCREAM IT OUT SOMEHOW! LIKE.

Okay, so.

So imagine CJ is getting used to living in the present timeline, right? He's a part of the family, no Kraang around, things are nice.

And then he realizes. The date he was born in the bad timeline is coming up, but Cassandra Jones isn't pregnant. In fact, the date passes, and Cassandra Jones still isn't pregnant or anything.

Huh, looks like Casey Jones Junior isn't gonna be born here. Looks like the only kinda of world he can naturally exist in is an apocalypse.

OH NO!

But you know who IS born that year? Leo's twins. Man, now that he's got some ACTUAL kids, maybe he won't need/want to be a pseudo dad to Casey.

CASEY NO!!

And the way everyone is with their kids reminds him of how they were with HIM when HE was a kid. And it hurts, because he wants to have that again. He wants to not be the only one who remembers that.

CASEY!!!!!

And then imagine the bad coping mechanisms he could develop for all of these feelings! Like, something like what happened in that Vape Mikey AU? Maybe... worse?

CASEY NO!! NO, CASEY!!!

Speaking of that AU, what if his source for this bad stuff is the Purple Dragons? What if he sometimes trades little bits of Donnie's tech for stuff?

NO!!! CASEY!! IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE PURPOSELY TAKING THE STUFF HE'D DISCARD ANYWAY!!! HE'LL NOTICE!!!!! CASEY!!!!

And there are other people he could probably get the stuff from, and they'd take OTHER things in exchange for the stuff. Man, imagine if those other things resulted in stuff for Casey?

STOP STOP!!! HE'S SUFFERED ENOUGH!!!!

And then, of course, all of this culminates in an intervention from the fam. Because, despite Casey's best efforts to hide everything from everyone, they notice. And despite everything, Leo still sees him as one of his kids, dang it!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

But I did get a silly goofy way to reimagine Woody Dirkins into Rise. imagine getting bit by a oozesquito, and the most change is that the blood hair & blue eyes intensify. And you also suddenly start meeting/interacting with all these mutants and yokai.

Anyway, goodnight!
