and just when you think all your favorite tv shows are original and different, you watch buffy the vampire slayer for the first time and realize all your favorite shows are actually just buffy the vampire slayer.

Kinda wild how almost every sitcom ever made has at least one scene that's basically just,

"Character 1: Your actions really negatively affected me, and I'm hurt and confused why you'd do something like that.

Character 2: I literally never even thought about how you might feel and I'm so sorry about that, I've been going through [trauma] and I don't know how to deal with (feelings character 1 can relate to, but never opened up to character 1 about when they went through [similar trauma]), I'm sorry you were so negatively affected, I've been under severe emotional stress and have behaved in a way I regret.

Character 1: Oh my god I had no idea! I know a thing or two about [trauma] myself. Let me share my incredibly similar experience. Lots of people have to deal with this, some would say it's almost universal. Now that I understand your state of mind when I was affected negatively by your actions, and I understand no malice was intended, I feel closer to you.

Character 2: Same. I promise to be more emotionally vulnerable in the future because our bond has strengthened and we will both help each other grow as people. I treasure our friendship.

Spencer: What's crappenin sluts?

Characters 1&2: SPENCERRR!"

Am I the only one that let multiple friendships wither on the vine rather than have one or two frank emotional conversations? I'm terrified this is universal because that would explain way too much

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.

its awful trying to submerge yourself into a fandom in attempts to find others to create little paper dolls (ocs) with and you get like, three posts into the timeline and see the most unhinged/brain-dead take/shipping, or like, someone saying "[popular character] is my husband no one else can look, talk or even THINK about them. HANDS OFF!!" like what my dude that is a fictional character that you didn't even create. you don't own him. omg don't tell me you're like that jealous clingy partner that doesn't let their S.O. talk to anyone but you. you've got someone tied up in your basement this very instant, don't you?? FREE THEM NOW.

i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one

his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.

ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication

ok yknow what Edit: i shouldve made it even more explicit at the end of this post, i hadnt thought i would need to since i started the post with this, but i think a few too many people are missing my point so i just wanna clarify. i shouldnt have said 'really clashed' and left it at that because yeah they did, but it wasnt just their opposite methods of communication, it is also very much that toshiro was experiencing microaggressions via laios. it may have been unintentional on laios's part, but it still happened and wore him down, made it harder for him to communicate on top of both the more subtle social cues that he was raised with and his own communication difficulties. i also want to say that the fandom reaction to toshiro and the complete ignorance of this point is also racist tbh or at the very least ignorant. i understand that the anime did not cover this panel, and neither did the manga, as this was an omake, but im gonna be real with you guys. there are enough context clues within the story to clue you into this. if you didnt pick up on it thats ok, but i think this is a good lesson in picking up subtext in the stories that youre watching and/or reading. kui shouldnt have to explicitly say 'by the way laios was racist to toshiro' for this point to be understood, and at the very least, when the author portrays a character in a sympathetic light (as kui clearly does) it should make you question Why they are doing so and what makes them sympathetic, rather than youre immediate and only reaction to be 'well i hated what this guy did/said so i hate them and they suck'. idk exactly how to finish this, just. idk. question your biases and gut reactions to things you see in media and stories, and think about whether or not theres subtext that youre missing.
