listening to this podcast done by TV show enthusiasts, whose knowledge of IWTV comes from the movie and the book they watched/read probably a century ago, so they already know OG Louis is a plantation owner and Claudia will die, then the hosts said something like, "Watching the last three episodes of IWTV was hard, but the last scene gave me hope. I could handle another season of this, I could handle Lestat coming back, because I have seen Louis is in a better place now, he's happy with someone who is (healthily, heavily implied) loves him, and understands him"
And i'm just sitting here just thinking, "well, it's obvious they forget why Claudia died then"

an underrated aspect of one piece's storytelling is how luffy has zero internal monologue as a protagonist (which is actually pretty unique) so a lot of the time it forces the writing/narrative to judge him by his actions first and foremost and thus any words he Does say are all the more important and this is partly why i rec the manga over the anime (not that the anime is bad per se bc animation is pretty with colors and sounds even though the op anime itself is notoriously badly paced in some areas) because it just inherently conveys this concept better and more than anything it shows how economic of a writer oda actually is despite being a 25+ years long running manga with 1000k+ chapters because if oda had like at least 5% more flowery language in him he would then spontaneously transmogrifying into nasu and would drop so many fateisms and massive monologue/speeches for each and every one of one piece's themes, leaving one piece an unfinished magnum opus because its next projected end date would be 2100 ad

I feel like more people need to be more aware or wary of when posts will use women and girl and lady randomly through it but then slap "male" into the post and continue to only use male. Like... how the fuck does that not set off alarms in peoples minds? How does that not read as TERF bullshit? Bioessentialist? Even just exclusionary period???? I genuienly don't understand and seeing so many more posts like that cropping up all over the place is unsettling and extremely worrying.
