Chilchuck analysis speedrun: As a hardworking half-foot who grew up poor and discriminated against and had his gullibility taken advantage of multiple times in his early adventuring days, Chilchuck thinks optimism is a dangerous flaw. He’s stressed and strict all the time because his job is noticing details like traps that could get everyone killed before anyone knows it, he takes the lives of everyone to be on his shoulders, and with the way he speaks about it that probably partly reflects how he felt about taking it upon himself to provide for his family too. His life’s always been pretty centered around work and has become even moreso now that his wife left and everyone is independent, and due to past events he’s very iffy with bonding with coworkers. He thinks feelings and job are a disaster mix. Like with his wife or with parties hiring him as sacrifice, being open or having good faith is vulnerability which can get you hurt, so he processes and shows all his stress as anger instead of worry. Doing strict dieting probably isn’t helping the irritability what with hunger, and on top of being a hunger suppressant alcohol might be the main stress reliever he has.
His grey hairs are so earned

everytime i’m faced with wild overt misogyny that’s just platformed like it’s nothing i remind myself that people don’t actually have to feel this way about women. men are fully capable of treating women like human beings and viewing them as such. “but socialization but male fantasies but patriatchy speaks through us even when we don’t recognize it” sure but actually regardless there exist men who are fundamentally not raging misogynists and they generally seem happier and better adjusted. misogyny to me isn’t disappointing because “oh i can’t believe Men, as an essentialized category of person, are like this” it’s disappointing because people make the choice to be like this. “it’s my biological imperative as a man to dominate you” okay well it’s my biological imperative as a freaky bitch to dominate you so what now. what biological imperative is making you comment “onlyfans detected opinion rejected” on every picture of any attractive woman. i think i will always be understood by most people as a woman and i’m learning to accept that and trying to like it but misogyny makes me feel very trapped of course. but misogyny is a choice. which means some people make the choice to be misogynistic which is profoundly frustrating. but many other people choose not to be actively misogynistic and i believe anyone could choose not to be actively misogynistic if they wanted. so it’s a whole thing

men in youtube comment sections who think luffy would be fine with law doing the immortality surgery “luffy knows that sometimes people die that’s the whole point of what he argued with vivi about in alabasta and if oda keeps law alive just because he’s a fan favorite after introducing the immortality surgery it will be such cheap bad writing” what fucking show are you watching.
you know what i was going to end it there but i need to say more. the whole point of that conversation with vivi was luffy being angry that vivi kept putting everything on her own shoulders. vivi had to do everything so that no one in alabasta would die. and luffy said if you keep doing that YOU ARE GOING TO DIE and that is not acceptable. she is his friend. he only cares about everyone else in alabasta because it’s what vivi cares about. he was fully not going to fight crocodile because he thought she was being stupid and not valuing her own life enough and that’s unacceptable because luffy loves his friends more than anything. that’s literary the entire character thesis of monkey d. luffy.
this keeps happening. it happened with nami and it happened with vivi and it happens with robin and it happened with ace on more than one occasion and it happened with law in dressrosa, but i don’t know how you can so fundamentally misunderstand this story the think that luffy would ever be okay with law sacrificing his own life for someone else i simply don’t think you possess any media literacy. and if you think he would be okay with law sacrificing his own life FOR HIM…from the mc who said being lonely is worse than being hurt. with law of all people the first person to seek him out for an alliance and choose him instead of luffy choosing them, who saved his life so he could get back to his crew, who has literally done nothing but have his back, and think luffy would be cool and normal about law seeing his own life as forfeit even if it was to save the world i straight up don’t know what story you are reading.

Something I think about a lot: how tf did Syril end up on Morlana One? You’d think with him being born on Coruscant there’d be more opportunities to get recruited by the ISB if he stayed there.
Like, did he choose Morlana One? Was he assigned there? Did he not have a choice if the job was indeed a handout from Uncle Harlo? Was it purely about getting away from Eedy? Much to think about.

Ok but thinking back to how I was in elementary and middle school: I had such disdain for other kids who broke the rules, that I irrationally hated a whole bunch of kids — kids I would have made good friends with — all because I couldn’t stand the fact that they engaged in conflicts with, and affronts to authority figures or standards.
It even went as far as internally mocking a kid my age — calling him “Mama’s Boy” in my head — over the fact that his mother whispered comments into his ear, which he mumbled unintelligibly into the mic, and then would fall asleep as if dead on her arm. I perceived his inability to give comments on his own, and his sleeping, as moral failings of both mother and child; because I wasn’t raised like that. And maybe, those feelings also came from jealousy. I was expected to fight off sleep all the time because I could read at a college level in third grade, and could theoretically understand the material presented at the meetings despite it still being inappropriate for my age group.
I was so far deep into the “bad associations spoil useful habits” mindset that it made me hate my fellow neurodivergents — kids I would have been friends with — who maybe couldn’t hide it as well as I could. That is beyond fucked up. Now, I work with those very kids I disliked so much as a child, and guess what? They are my absolute favorite people to be around; and many of them remind me of myself.
