I came up with maybe not a theory but more of just an observation that the east blue 5 seem to parallel the 5 love languages and it's kinda reframed all of their actions and behaviours towards each other so much for me on my watchthrough. Got brainworms from that one oda interview where he said zoro doesn't like verbally expressing gratitude and prefers to show appreciation through actions and it got me thinking

The 5 languages:

Physical touch - Luffy

Acts of service - Zoro

Quality time - Usopp

Receiving / giving gifts - Nami

Words of affirmation - Sanji

Funnily enough in OPLA we definitely see a lot of physical touch Luffy. He's always playfully punching or hugging crewmates, despite having known the crew for such a short time he's just instantly clingy and physically present around them in east blue.

Zoro is very much an actions person. He's a little emotionally constipated and doesn't verbalise his feelings very much, in fact that seems like the last thing he wants to do, but he will always be looking out for any member of the crew silently, and is almost always the first to spring into action when it's called for. He shows he cares through acts of service and being there for his captain and crew.

Usopps language being quality time is shown pretty well in syrup village with his relationship with Kaya. Kaya is a girl who has everything she could wish for financially, but ussop provides her with a much needed friend, someone to support her and just physically be present and talk to her. He risks so much just to make her smile because being there for his friends is such a crucial and important thing for him.

Nami's love language being giving/recieving gifts means so much to me because it is so often seen as the most shallow of the love languages and I have seen so many poor analysis and digs at Nami's character, reducing her to just being greedy and money hungry. Did they watch Arlong park with their eyes closed??? For Nami, gold or money is a means for her to provide for the people she cares about, to ensure their financial stability and freedom and to keep her crewmates fed and afloat. She spent so long scorned and alone and (believed she was) hated because she created this money hungry persona to save her village and to best Arlong. Every piece of gold she bled to get was meant for that end goal. Nami deserves the financial freedom and gold that being a strawhat pirate could give because for years and years every bit she earned was tucked away for the well-being of others and was then stolen from under her nose. (This paragraph got very long but I'm not sorry I am the captain of the Nami defense squad.)

And finally Sanji reflects words of praise as a love language. I think it's the most clear to see with how Sanji is so quick to praise any female character he comes into contact with, especially Nami, but I think it also reflects his strained relationship with zef while working at the baratie. Zeff is always verbally critical of Sanji as a way to rile him up and to encourage him to leave the restaurant. Zef weaponises what makes Sanji tick to antagonise him and tries to get him to leave that way, but Sanji is far too stubborn and feels too great a debt to leave.

I think east blue definitely shows the 5 dynamics in a pretty clear way and kinda helped me understand what makes the characters tick. Also why some of the characters end up butting heads or getting into arguments. They all show and recieve love in different way, sometimes there are misunderstandings or clashes but at the end of the day they all trust each other with their lives and it's such a strong bond.

Anyways I'll eventually draw some more OP but I'd love to hear any thoughts or other people's ideas if they have any on the matter. Sometimes I get analysis brainworms, and I first shared the idea on discord, but figured why not post it to Tumblr too

ALSO please if anyone has examples from the series that fit the love languages PLEASE share it, makes my heart oougggghhghg.

ok soooo im like 5 episodes into dear brother and i need you guys to know how much i love rei so far if only for her staggering around like a rain-soaked stray dog just haggard and unseeing all the time. like we know very little about her thus far except that every scene she's in she steals the show by flopping and wilting all over the frame

[wraith-caller]

Really cool of FromSoft to drop this pair of cursed twins with a soul that shuttles back and forth between individual bodies, draw up some vague connection between them and the god-queen who shares her body and maybe soul with another person, and then never mention it again.

My beloved best friend of several years, who bought me Minecraft the winter before COVID after I mentioned I hadn’t played since before there were horses, got severely motion sick when playing minecraft for too long.

We were both aware of this, and took breaks or shortened our play sessions accordingly.

However, a few days ago, at the end of one of those sessions when my friend wasn’t feeling well, we traveled through a Nether portal.

“Have you turned off your motion effects? And the camera bobbing?”

My beloved friend, who has been playing this game more consistently for many more years than me, did not know what those were. We navigate to my friend’s accessibility settings and toggle off portal motion effects and camera bobbing.

Lo and behold minecraft is playable for my friend again. Check accessibility settings for every game you play and see what options you have. Do not suffer if you can help it 👍

an um. snippet. from me. for the first time since. july :-)

[britneyshakespeare]

barnes and noble has been raising the prices of everything and further pushing for their premium membership option (which they raised the price of by 60 percent this year!) and then when they have big sales events, they're less than what they used to be.

last year at this time you could get one of their leather-bound book annex tomes for $12.50 (without a member discount) because of the 50 percent off all hardcover sales. but they raised the price of those tomes from 25 bucks to 30, and they decreased the sale from 50 percent off all hardcovers to 1/3rd off. so that same book that was $12.50 at last year's end-of-year sale is now 20 bucks. and that's supposed to be savings enough to induce me to walk into one of their stores this week?

i'm sorry but b&n has just gotten so greedy, even though their business has only been doing better and better in previous years. they do not have to be raising prices like they have been, and they can damn well afford to have the same savings events they used to. if you went to one of those hardcover sales a year or two ago, even if you lived in a less populated area like i do, you had never seen a b&n so busy in your life. things were flying off the shelves. they WERE making bank.

and as a company they've only been growing and growing (as much as the publishing industry has been, in recent years). but there are so many other ways to buy books. CHEAPER ways to buy books. MORE SUSTAINABLE ways to buy books. and since books and booksellers are doing really well right now, i don't see why barnes and noble is getting so greedy when they don't have to be. i dont like new shiny books that much. people buy books for the content, ultimately. sometimes we as consumers might make the choice that a new shiny book is worth paying a bit more for, but not that much. barnes and noble has just been demanding more and more of their customers' money for less and less benefit.

I already told this particular opinion before but gonna post it here too.

Terrible chemzee opinion 2636

If we look at it from Cassandra's perspective, I believe she was mostly absolutely justified in Y1. Because if some random girl tried to make me dissapear/seriously hurt/kill me (the way it looked like from her perspective) but failed I'd also do a background check on her too 🤨 like girl what if she already hurt someone before? Plus, Cass wanting Ivy to get expelled? DUH she though Ivy almost killed her! Plus she learned she allegedly wasn't the first one so she's even more justified.

[thebatapex]

that moment when my friend was doing a Thing™️ that's really annoying but especially annoying/harmful to our teacher so i whisper "you're actually going to kill her one day if you keep doing that"

friend, to god honest, says "Inshallah." and continues doing said Thing™️

to this day, she is the said teacher's favorite, even tho bro is intent on?? killing?? her?? i fucking hate this

witness my vision of what a sexual relationship should have for the very base without going nsfw. my pinky yelled at me for this.

Needy subby Bucky needing to cum so bad so you let him use your cunt to get off. Just imagine him whining and crying while pounding into your cunt like a needy puppy filling you over and over agian with his cum because he wants to be your good boy to please you and make you full.

Oh god okay but that look of almost pain that'd be on his face after he cums but keeps going?? 😳 It's so hot idec

Because maybe you've been really vocal about how good it feels to have him cum inside you and then once he does, he just doesn't want to stop.

And the way you'd coo so gently as he fills you, stroking his cheek and promising he feels fucking perfect, enjoying the way his length throbs inside you. "Fuck, you feel perfect, sweetheart. That's it. Just give me a little more. Such a good boy." Your praise just makes him melt, whimpering and sobbing because he's done but something in him needs to keep going.

His stubble is rough under your fingertips, his eyes on yours while he finishes inside you and the beautiful little groans that tumble from his lips are enough to make you weak. He's so lost in pleasure it makes his head swim and it's a really good look on him.

You can feel that he's finished. He's given you everything he can and you look pretty fucking happy with yourself.

But he's not done. He's still hard and he feels like he needs to keep going, despite knowing that he shouldn't need more.

"Fuck..." He groans, giving you a few more shallow thrusts, testing the water. This is what he needs. It almost hurts but not quite. It feels overwhelming and the slick mess of his own cum just adds to the glide. "I don't wanna stop."

He doesn't have to stop. Your body is so warm and wet and welcoming, it's everything he didn't know he's been missing. Your thumb strokes gently over his flushed cheek before pulling him down for a beautifully intimate kiss.

"Don't stop." You whisper against his mouth. He's hungry for this and you can feel it. He's past getting lost in the pleasure. That hardly even matters anymore. Instead, he's trying to get lost in you.

He can't even really think straight anymore. He only cares about filling you up and feeling the way you flutter around him when you cum.

"Please, f-fuck, take it." He whimpers, his thrusts now punishing, hardly even noticing that you're scratching down his back because you're so unbelievably close to another orgasm.

He barely registers that your hand is between your bodies, rubbing exactly how you need. He hears you moaning in his ear, pleading for him to cum inside you again and calling him a good boy but nothing really matters once he feels your orgasm take over because his own isn't far behind.
