One Piece where everything’s the same except Cora doesn’t die but Law’s still determined to absolutely beat the shit out of Doflamingo anyway. Cut to post Dressrosa where Law gets a VERY frantic phone call from Cora who’s like what the actual FUCK I saw the newspaper this morning you went up against Doffy all by yourself?? You promised me we would do this together you little SHIT do you have any idea how fucking scared out of my MIND I was when I saw the headline and I thought something happened to you, Law I swear to god, and Law’s like yes Cora I went up against him by myself, like HELL I was going to let him lay a single finger on you. And Cora’s like THAT’S MY LINE!!! You’re MY kid and I should be the one protecting YOU!! And Law’s like what with your shitty devil fruit powers? What could you have done? You would have fallen on your ass and gotten hurt or shot or worse and I’d be too fucking worried about you to focus on anything else. And Cora’s like this conversation is NOT over but I’m so so glad you’re okay. And he starts crying and he’s like oh my GOD Law you know how insane Doffy is I could have lost you. And I wouldn’t have even known until after the fact. And Law goes all quiet and he’s like I know I’m sorry but I could have lost YOU and I couldn’t handle that. I couldn’t. And Cora’s sobbing and he’s like I love you so much Law and Law’s like yeah. I love you too 🥺

Meanwhile the Strawhats witnessed this entire conversation and they’re like. Wow okay that was a lot to unpack. Law’s got a dad and they’re very protective of each other and apparently his dad is Doflamingo’s brother?? And Law literally dismantled Doflamingo’s entire criminal organization and DIDN’T bother telling his dad about it?? No wonder he’s pissed. And they’re also like awwwww we’ve never seen Law so soft and vulnerable before 💕 and Law looks at them and he’s like. You repeat ANY of what you just heard and I WILL kill you. And they’re like ‘Mhmm okay yup we hear you loud and clear. Btw what’s your dad like’ with the BIGGEST shit eating grins and Law’s like Okay! Killing you now!! And proceeds to chase them with his katana

an idea i invite anyone else to write about / run with lol....

the premise that The Change gets all messed up for alberto, say it's something that can happen from stress, &/or happens rarely and you just have to wait for it to resolve itself....used as some parallel to struggling through some emotional turbulence / upheaval / questioning / Realizing Things, etc etc

i feel like ive been seeing a lot of posts focused around US military members recently and honestly i feel hypocritical if i rb them without comment knowing im in a military family, but also i dont wanna be that person bringing their personal guilt in the tags of posts that arent about them like that bc its not the place for it so mostly i just dont

ik ive talked about it on here before so its kind of just the same shit but its just like. man��growing up my perspective was more skewed by the fact that a lot of the social environments i was in were other military families, but the older and more knowledgable i get the worse the conflicted feelings get of just “i love this person as a family member but my hate for the line of work they’ve put themselves in gets stronger constantly and i dont know how i’ll ever express it to them”

I want to first state that I have no feelings about the Moana sequel one way or the other. Do I like that everything is remakes and sequels right now? No. But it was remakes and sequels when I was a kid too so what room do I have to call the movies for kids today "repetitive"?

With that said: if I see one more person imply that the Moana sequel could have no plot because the first movie resolved the story or that it's just gonna do the same things over again... as if it's not based on a whole ass culture with its own complete ass mythology of stories they could draw from I'm gonna pull my hair out.

There is so much that could be done even if that specific plot point did resolve. When you graduate high school your life doesn't end just because your primary school education plotline resolved. There can be more to a life than a single plotline in a world full of stories waiting to be found.

That being said. Disney, you better NOT just use the plotlines of the first film to fuel the second and ignore all of that mythology. I have a SHRED of faith left in this company's ability to tell stories. Please reach a little higher than the lowest hanging fruit this time.

Spent an hour swiming in the middle of a lake and the water is just stretching and I'm like ....Nemo pls....

I know it's a like but....um maybe, since he speaks so many languages, he had a bit of a language confusion and got See (Lake) and Sea mixed up... yeah.....that's possible.....right?

Any way I was thinking up fanfic ideas so hopefully soon I'll have lots of one shots inspired by comments on a previous post!

I did not know that a drama with this silly of a premise would have me crying 45 minutes in.

finally read erebus by michael palin. great book almost cried because im not normal about history. i fear this has awoken a latent polar fascination that has lain dormant within me since i first read his dark materials aged 8

im not a DfO believer but the idea of AfO's kid growing up to worship his 2nd most hated guy in the world is so so funny

My dreams lately are so fragmented I hardly remember Anything but there was one bit that carried on for a long while while maintaining it's detail today and it happened in a theater with a movie I didn't even went in to watch.

It was this sort of artsy almost silent movie with Willem Dafoe and some girl. In it, Willem was a professor of something like informatic but he was also a magician part time.

During his introduction they showed him standing next to this yellow building (w his head shaved fsr) where a queue was formed of people waiting and there were two guys, like, management? Who let the audience know this was like, an university being just opened and these were the ppl who wanted to go study there, but after Willem did Something (I think he just made a lightbox disappear) everyone STILL FORMING A PRETTY NEAT QUEUE started walking away to the despair of the other guys being like NO DUDE WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!

Then it cut to a scene in a cruise with the aforementioned woman. She was fair skinned and thin except for her pregnant belly and I don't think she ever dressed up. All the scenes here were her and Willem not saying a world but cuddling and looking at each other lovingly. Though something interesting was revealed when they showed she had a penis and dream me was like WHAT⁉️ but then I thought of it and I was like ah of course because he's a magician maybe the belly is fake! Or maybe the penis is 🧐

Didn't get to keep analyzing this for long because the next scene had her jumping off the boat w only a lifebuoy. I think someone was after them. I was watching the movie with my dad and he was like "she better not die" and I was like "no no the shore is near she'll swim but ... Willem will die. He ALWAYS dies in movies" "that's not true he didn't die in [Some Films]" "well yeah true but he almost always does, directors Love killing him" and was everything about this dialogue right because as the woman swam and made it to the shore (I remember saying I'd never been more anxious about this, for some reason her climbing off the water just was freaking me OUT) and she looked around her love was nowhere to be seen but y'all know what she did see? The fucking lightbox.

And then the movie ended. And no one liked it 😭

Oh yeah and later my dentist said something like Hm yeah it's clear that you've multiple fractures on your back which even in dream confused me bc why does SHE know? But oh well she's just Like That ig.

dreamt that kratos and atreus moved to modern-day suburbia, where kratos used his god powers to give them the most beautiful, gloriously biodiverse lawn in the neighborhood in defiance of the HOA.

how did they get elliot back in his respawn cupboard in episode five anyways?

i hate when old guys at work try to debate me, not about historic perspectives, but about, like, how the boat works.

not the period accuracy of the boat, no. the logic of how it's set up. like at least once a month someone's smug dad tells me that it's stupid that the wheel is at the aft of the ship. there are a few other things they'll debate me on, but the wheel being in "the wrong place" is the biggest one. they want it to be in the front so bad, and I try politely to explain that the wheel is connected by ropes to the tiller and the rudder, which are in the aft, so the wheel is also in the aft.

they will argue with the logic of this in their own varying ways, but always as if they think that putting the wheel in the aft of an 18th century merchant ship was my idea, and if they just explain to me why their ideas are better, i, a tour guide born in the 1990s, will see reason and retroactively change the way boats were made 250+ years ago.

So back during the late 70s/early 80s, there used to be this show called the Love Boat. Basically the premise was this: a bunch of various characters would go on a big luxury cruise together, and each episode would focus on some of the people falling in love with each other (very romantic comedy-esque series). I never personally watched it, but my dad did when he was a kid, and he used to think it was stupid so he and his friends would watch it just to make fun of it.

At the same time, my dad was (and still is) a huge fan of the original Star Trek series, and at some point, he started thinking it would be a really funny idea if someone did a Love Boat and Star Trek crossover. Like, if an episode of Star Trek was written in the same way that a typical Love Boat episode was written, with silly romantic comedy scenarios and a heavy emphasis on the romantic relationships between characters.

So in college, my dad told one of his classmates about his idea, to which she responded, “Oh, you should a write a fanfiction about that!”

To which my dad replied, “…a what?”

And that’s how my dad found out what fanfiction was.
