ok so i cant work on my wip rn because... in bed so im gonna wax poetic about it instead.
ive always been kinda confused with where alabasta is supposed to be set, in a way its kinda like disneys aladdin in that is just sorta mixes togeather a bunch of swana/se cultures/imagery to create a vauge idea of a 'desert country'. but considering Nefertari is an egyptian name (Nefertari Meritmut being the main example, an egyptian queen and first wife of Ramesses). im going to personally go with that idea.
with that out the way the main thing i wanna talk about... mehndi! (or henna). i personally think it would be so much cooler if the 'X' code was done in it. because the whole resolution to it is that while the X may fade, their friendship dosnt. Mehndi is an art that works of this principal, similar to rangoli. bridal henna for example is super intiquite and significant for the bride(/groom if ur progressive like that) on the mehndi celebration and shadi itself, and yet it fades away. But the specialness of the occcasion doesnt.
theres also the fact that it takes wayy longer to fade, so the drawn out process of that would be more impactful. ironicaly enough, for nami/sanji the most as they wash more often (namivivi angsttt). luffy and zoro being last.
because of all this im really obsessed with the idea of mehdi being a namivivi love languge. its such a wonderful artform to share with another person and in a romantic context tthe artistry and body worship aspects you could add are just. soo good.
also they look sick af in it

Why do you think Sky chose to live in a dorm?
Well, his dad lives in a whole other city, so to go to that college, he needed a place.
It isn't clear to me if it's a dorm or just apartments that typically rent to students. The subs say dorm, but that could be a vague translation of a specialized term (like student housing or whatnot).
But overall, Sky himself explains it- it is close to the university. Beyond that, it's a fairly safe building (until Pai butters the landlady up), and it gives Sky privacy at night.
He's afraid of anyone seeing or knowing his trauma, which includes night terrors that seem to come and go (probably exactly why he wouldn't stay in the hospital when he collapsed- because he was having nightly episodes at that point).
So a dorm situation was a must, but the solo room also helped.
I've interviewed assault survivors with C-PTSD and the most important thing you focus on is the set design. Clear line of sight to every door, simple layout, and close walls are all huge.
Sky's dorm has it all. The rooms are laid out so he can almost always see the front door, furniture is tight to the wall and short, nowhere for someone to hide. But the walls are also closer, cozy, comforting and non-complex.
Even though Sky isn't really dealing with his trauma and is standing with his back to it hoping it goes away, the dorm he chooses to live in is also very well set and laid out for a trauma survivor.
