Oooh, I think that bit about the dancing and the people saying the Rani and the Doctor were lovers was to jog the Doctor's brain into going "WTF? No! The Rani would never ever ever ever ever dance with me like that! That'd be soooo OOC."

That's why she asked "were we?" She wasn't expositing, she was trying to get him to wonder.

What about Shiguang kissing each other in greeting on autopilot even though they're not officially dating yet?

This timeline of Link Click has morphed completely from a mystery thriller to a slice of life romcom

Thanks for the prompt! ♡

I feel like we don't discuss Nami's relationship with gender enough. Her entire character is so deeply informed by being a girl in a male-dominated pirate world and it's so interesting and so worth talking about.

The background creepiness of Bad pirate crews, which are most of them, how they tend to not have any female crew members at all, how they beckon any pretty young woman around to come play with them and join them. It's real bad. It's also like, a totally 2 dimensional portrayal of evil that is reserved for the most background of background characters.

However I think their ubiquity says a lot about how piracy is meant to be perceived by the public in One Piece, and is one of the strongest indicators of how prevalent misogyny is in-world.

It's very normal in One Piece for regular island inhabitants to have never met a Different class of pirate in their life. There's no reason for them to withhold judgement that maybe these pirates won't be like every crew that attacked before, and to wait and judge them by their actions. I mean frankly that would be irrationally weak self-preservation.

There are people who live peacefully under the flags of Yonkos who protect them, and feel loyalty and gratitude to them for it, but that seems to only be thing with very big name pirates. The East Blue, being the weakest and least populated, has no such plethora of powerful people and resulting turf wars.

So. Nami. Is very clearly implied to have never met any Different pirates before. I'm thinking about what that means. About how every group of pirates she stole from were creepy, dangerous men. How she started going out stealing when she was still a young child. How she didn't have a mother anymore to guide her or comfort her. How Arlong would grab her chin inappropriately, talk about her as a "human female", as property, and god knows what else.

How all the men in Arlong's crew treated her patronizingly, pretending they're all friends, teasing her and playing at respect when really not a single one of them ever stuck up for her or hesitated to accuse her of betrayal. Who were always ready to kill her if she refused to cooperate. Who grabbed her and intimidated her when they felt like it.

That's what she had to come back to after a close call with stealing from other predatory men, instead of the relief of home there was a dark, cramped room filled with endless hours of misery and isolation and blood. Where any one of her captors could barge in and demand new maps, work faster, where did you go, you took too long again this time. Endless threats and incursions.

I'm thinking about that her fight scene in Alabasta, where she tumbles and rips off her cape and uses it to catch her enemy's spikes, before leaping to her feet and running out the back door, all in one moment. How it makes her enemy reconsider her and think, "so the girl's not a total novice at fighting after all." What that implies about her experiences as a young thief. The times she wasn't fast or clever enough and had to fight and claw her way out. Why she always carried a staff and a knife. Why she was the only one before Chopper who had any medical knowledge or experience.

You know she was stitching herself up. And the weapons, how do you think she learned to use those? If any of the Arlong Pirates helped her it wasn't out of kindness and it wasn't gentle.

Then I think about Nojiko, and Bellemere's memory, and the only softness in a hard life. How easily Nami connects to every young woman experiencing hardship that she meets. How completely she dismisses the struggles of men unless they mean something to her and are going through something terrible. The way that Nami only has sympathy for women and children is easily noticeable in-text, but it's also something confirmed in those words by the author. And it's clearly because of the life she lived, the men who had all the power and only abused it, who saw her as nothing but a girl to take advantage of, without anyone aside from her sister clearly knowing and caring about any of it.

Nami clearly isn't bitter, she doesn't think the world owes her recompense, on the contrary she knows she is far from the only person in the world to suffer the things she has suffered. She is endlessly reaching out and kind, but only to those that she isn't sure would get help without her. Certainly, before Luffy, Usopp, and Zoro, no man ever reached out a hand to her without an ulterior motive.

I think when she sees a girl in trouble, a girl biting her lip to hold in a scream of grief, a girl running in the woods away from a monster, a girl captured by pirates, she sees someone who no one is coming for. Who no one will stick up for. A person without allies in a world against her. Whether it's actually true in this case or not, she runs straight for that girl anyways every single time.

despite how you feel about the changes from the stream to the show, if you like or dislike them, i love how inherently hilarious the narrative path tlovm is taking regarding perc’ahlia is because a situationship would literally kill campaign percy and vex like how the internet would kill a small victorian child. they are NOT built for that

As fun as it is to call Bell Adler's brainwashed boy toy twink I like to headcanon that Bell is actually both taller and more well built than Adler is.

Im curious have you thought ab how Heather would fit in this western httyd au 👀👀

I certainly have, thank you so much for submitting this <3

Heather would probably become misunderstood as a theif, perhaps someone who walks the line and spends time with outlaw gangs to get information for Hiccup and the other cowboys?

I can see her doing something extraordinary like becoming a horse vaulter at rodeos to earn money or at least keep it as a guise/cover for her double life. Maybe her adopted family taught her some tricks in the past?

She’s also probably the only one apart from Eret in the gang who carries a gun 🔫 as Astrid, Lout, Ruff & Tuff co are literally just cowboys, which fun fact, most cowboys didn’t carry guns! Hicc & Legs would be just guys from the nearby town and so also probably wouldn’t be bringing a gun on their journey…

Hypnotizing a cute sub into forgetting what cumming is, to make it so they think edging is the best it gets. Watching them get closer and closer and they can't get any release because they're unable to remember how.

something that does have to be said and acknowledged is that there are people who cannot go vegetarian or vegan. there are people with disabilities/dietary restrictions that make being vegetarian or vegan categorically impossible in our current world.

this is why the solution to the evils of factory farming and industrial animal agriculture can't just be "everyone goes vegan and we transition to a plant-based diet as a species". if we did that some people would starve and die.

@colection-of-chaos from this post but i didn't wanna start yelling in op's notes about why i think the galaxy's edge uj cake recipe is honestly kinda pretentious

so for context this is the galaxy's edge uj cake recipe

firstly those pieces in the picture are way too big. holy shit that is a brick. this is not a nice light fluffy cake as most people would think of a cake, what 'uj cake' actually is is a BLOCK of dried fruit, nuts, seeds, etc, bound together by essentially caramel. you DO NOT WANT to eat a FIST SIZED PIECE of that

but with the actual recipe, my problem is this: simply not flexible enough. too specific of ingredients. uj cake must have some combination of nuts and dried fruit, possibly other stuff, and it must be somewhat sticky, and it must be shelf stable. if you have met all of those requirements, you have made uj cake

'slivered almonds' my ass, you chuck whatever you have available in a bowl. these aren't cheap ingredients, if you've got half a bag of dried mango or a bunch of snack packs of raisins, toss that in there

i do appreciate the spice recommendation, but again, just kinda do whatever you want. i generally include pepper, ginger, and cinnamon, but its up to you!!

overall it's really not a bad recipe. it's canon accurate, it'll get you an uj cake, there's nothing wrong with it. i just have a firmly held belief that mandalorian 'recipes' are really more of a flexible set of guidelines
