the craziest part is I still don’t expect Q to respond in any way. like at the very least you’d think he hears his once friend has been getting an increase in stalking and real life threats and realize this is not just a petty minecraft server problem or community problems since he clearly doesn’t care about those (<— sorry if that’s mean but I call it like I see it)

as far as one piece antagonists go Crocodile truly gets absolutely scooby-doo’d at unmatched levels
He immediately falls for a phone scam and from basically little garden to rainbase he doesn’t even know the strawhats are alive (and clowning towards him at incredible speed). As soon as he does, they’re in his house tearing at his walls and bringing marines into his villain lair.
He uses a literal floor trap door over a gator pit to catch them, gets phone scammed again, full scooby-doo chase scenes after Chopper through the streets while still missing him, and suddenly his prisoners have escaped his impossible cage, and his giant bananagators are dead. and Nico Robin saw it all happen.
He then spends rest of the arc complaining about those meddling kids and their dog “strawhat pirates and their weird pet” and at no point does he even know how many strawhats there are.
Like yeah he keeps having plans on top of plans to stop everything Vivi can do but also she keeps coming up with a new thing to do (Tom and Jerry ass dynamic).
Part of it is that he’s underestimating them and keeps grandstanding villain monologuing but also teens keep killing hundreds of his grand line bounty hunters and he straight up does not know what is happening.
Cause he IS trying to kill them he’s sending top assassins after them and ripping out luffy’s organs, the whole time he’s yelling HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?? DIE. as whack-a-mole Luffy keeps inventing new ways to hit him.

walker being so much taller than leah allows for the perfect opportunity for annabeth to be completely baffled at how much percy grew over the last year. imagine annabeth punching that bully in the jaw bc he messed with her friend. only to turn around and be face-to-face with percy's chest. and he's oblivious to her confusion bc he's smitten and happy to see his smart, and pretty, and kind, and strong, and badass best friend. and annabeth is just fuming.

WAIT I WANNA BRING UP ANOTHER THING ABOUT HOW BULLYING IS ADDRESSED IN NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE. one thing I really liked about how Max is shown as a bully is his talk with Pete at the Pasqualli's parking lot. When Pete tries to stand up to Max, Max pushes him down and emphasizes that Pete isn't a loser because of his own qualities - rather, Pete is a loser because Max simply said so.
Of course we can attribute this to Max's god complex but I think that this point in particular is less than often really brought up in teen-centered media featuring bullying: that bullying exists not because of nerdy behavior or whatever the fuck, but because bullies will it into being. And to have a BULLY of all people say that out loud - to have the main villain point out the root of their behavior without showing any kind of shame whatsoever - showcases just how much of a menace Max is.

Downfall has only just started, but already I'm deeply curious what Bells Hells reaction will be to seeing it play out. I've mentioned before that I suspect the dislike or outright disdain some of the party feels for the gods - most notably Ashton and Laudna, but also Imogen at times - is in part a product of the gods being so distant as to not feel like real people to them, and therefore being easy scapegoats.
It’s easy to see the mortal victims of Ludinus and the Vanguard as just that: victims. The Hells have met them, have been them. They have not seen or felt the gods suffer in the same way. Laudna even went so far as to blame the gods for mortal deaths and suffering after the solstice, even as the gods are the ones under attack. They feel uniquely abandoned by the world, and it's easy to blame these distant, powerful figures for their hardship. Certainly much easier than to see the mortal systems that enabled their harm, or to actively seek improvement on their own.
But to see the gods now, not just as people but as mortals, with all the flaws and vulnerabilities and fears of any of the Hells, with loved ones of their own and the same desperate sense of self-preservation as any living thing, will they be able to hold onto the disdain that they’ve clung to for so long?

Byrd: Dad?
Oscar: Morning, bud.. miserable day, huh? I’m not looking forward to packing up in the rain.
Oscar: Did you sleep okay?
Byrd: Erm…
Oscar: GO GET YOUR HEARING AIDS!
[Byrd fidgeted guilty, implying that he’d lost yet another pair]
Byrd: [sobs] Why do I have to be deaf without them, papa-.. s’not fair.
[Oscar held Byrd tightly, stroking his back until his sobs subsided somewhat]
Oscar: LET’S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO…
[Oscar plonked Byrd outside as he rummaged through his bags, eventually producing a backup pair of hearing aids]
Oscar: Better?
[Byrd nodded gratefully, burying his snotty nose in his father’s hair as he threw his arms around him]
Oscar: Maybe you ought to think twice about learning SSL.
Byrd: What’s the point? No one else knows it.
Oscar: Robin does, and we all know bits n’ pieces, don’t we?
[Byrd grumbled disinterestedly]
Oscar: I think it’s long overdue, pal-.. what if we all learn it together? Properly this time.
Byrd: I guess…
Oscar: All I heard was yes.
Byrd: Are you deaf too?
Oscar: [snorts] C’mon, we’ll probably find the other pairs as we clear up.
Wren: Daaaaad, it’s raining!
Oscar: The faster we get goin’, the faster we’ll be in the car-.. I bet Wren can pack up faster than you.
Byrd: [gasps] NO WAY!
[rain pattering]
