Thinking about this... Just nice to see Sanji feel/be his age and open up about his dreams without the fear of being ridiculed for it :’)

There's something special about the trust the boys have for Nami when they reach Arlong Park. Zoro trusts her to save him after jumping tied up into the pool even though he's just been told she's betrayed them! Usopp laughs at the thought of her hurting him after she threatens him! Luffy refuses to believe she's betrayed them even after being told she killed Usopp!

They just love Nami so much! And Nami loves them too!

She tells Nojiko she's never been happier and she wishes she could sail with them forever! And maybe she can meet up with them once she's free! When she thinks about them she pictures them having fun together and being idiots!

The girl who's been doing nothing but trying to buy back her village is beginning to think about her future and she wants them in it!

Finished art for the discord server and moved on to try my hand with 1500's-1600's inspired troops. Mostly taking inspiration from the Habsburg armies, basically HRE (Germany) and Spain. No clue why I even made these and I am quite intimidated to show the historically inspired unique units from the previous post.

Honestly I am quite tempted to make a low-fantasy isekai fanfiction set in this time period with characters ranging from Tanya Degurechaff, Redeus Greyrat, Rimuru Tempest and Ainz Ooal Gown just to see how well they can play off each other. The politics would allow Ainz to shine with diplomacy if he manages to NOT scare everyone, warfare is just a slower form Tanya is used to and allow her to be Gustavus Adolphus, Redeus will probably be roaming around the place with mercs saving everyone he could from devastation and Rimuru can definetly have fun with all the new toys around for his game of Civ6 before oops Italian wars or wars of the reformation time.

Actually, I may start writing it now and just take the best part of my ship fics and plop it there for safekeeping. Imagining a fool trying to put lead into Slime Rimuru would be funny. Hopefully I get motivated enough to post it. Already havw crossover crackships in my mind I may as well indulge in period pieces.

Why is that some country's EAS alarms are like "sorry to bother you, but you're about to die and should evacuate. Again, sorry for the interruption. Please have a good day" and then other EAS alarms are like "You are already dead. There is no sleep when the rapture is on its way. Tell your family you love them and pray that any God let's you into heaven"

Wip of Luthien for an art class, it's been way too long since I've properly drawn her.

Can't decide if I should give her short hair (easier, my typical post-Beren design) or commit to my vague ideas of timeline and try to draw it long. Also even though her tunic thing is purely for the sake of approximating something like her normal outfit while showing off her lovely limbs that I worked so hard to draw, I spent way too much time figuring out how it could be constructed in one piece

I don't think I've drawn her hands since deciding on what they look like before, but she has Long Creepy Talons and two thumbs and I love them. I am also succumbing to my rule of cool and am going to try giving her a tail.

With the help of some instagram reels, I realized last night that in the eleven years I've lived here I've developed a bit of a Toronto accent and idk how to remedy this

It is so important to understand things.

I live in a culture that has for centuries been sympathetic towards trans and intersex people but the problem is that people (the mass public) didn't actually understand what dysphoria is. With the new transgender act, I fear people are gonna hate dysphoric people instead of criticising the medical, education and law systems in our country, along with how parents disown their kids who have dysphoria and so dysphoric people have no where to go but live in extremely cultish societies on the streets (where the head of those societies is often rude to them & they have to endure it coz they aren't welcome back home) so they have to live a life where they are forced to earn their living through begging or sex work. Coz the mass public doesn't understand dysphoria and labels them as weird & so deprives them of proper jobs.

Wait they’re not even from West Virginia they’re just from normal Virginia. I don’t know how when or why my brain managed to convince me it was West Virginia instead of just Virginia

Hey guys, I know there are a lot of really severe tragedies in the world right now and I in no way desire to push those aside, nor do I really want to load another thing onto people's plates, but anyone here in the US needs to be aware that on March 11, 2024, an agricultural company known as NEW Cooperative spilled 265,000 gallons (1500 tons) of liquid nitrogen fertilizer into the East Nishnabotna River. This is the ecological equivalent of dropping a nuclear weapon into the river. Over a 60 mile stretch downstream of the spill its been a near total ecological wipeout for the river. So far, an estimate of 850,000 fish have been killed from this spill, and that's to say nothing for the insects, amphibians, reptiles and birds that relied on or lived in this river. It is literally filled with animal corpses. This river flows into the Missouri River and the impacts will likely continue to spread far past this 60 mile stretch. And this disaster has barely made local tv in Iowa, let alone national tv, despite the fact that 60 miles of river ecosystem were just wiped out in a way that may be impossible to recover from. And what's the punishment for this heinous act of destruction through negligence, you might ask? As it stands, its looking like a 6k fine from the DNR to the company. Not 600k. Not 60k. 6000 dollars. The maximum fine that the DNR can charge in Iowa is 10k unless they decide to take it further in court. That's why these spills are so frequent in Iowa: it's literally cheaper to eat the fines than it is to bother properly storing fertilizer. I don't know exactly what the proper course of action is here, or who needs to be contacted to enact change--I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in with that information--but at the very least, every one of us should know. Every one of us should make sure we don't forget this. And every one of us should blacklist NEW Cooperative fertilizer unilaterally.

This evening, Israeli residents set fire twice to the perimeter of the UNRWA Headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem.

This took place while UNRWA and other UN Agencies’ staff were on the compound.

While there were no casualties among our staff, the fire caused extensive damage to the outdoor areas. The UNRWA headquarters has on its grounds a petrol and diesel station for the Agency’s fleet of cars.

Our director with the help of other staff had to put out the fire themselves as it took the Israeli fire extinguishers and police a while before they turned up.

A crowd accompanied by armed men were witnessed outside the compound chanting “Burn down the United Nations” (see video below 👇 from Israeli media).

This is an outrageous development. Once again, the lives of UN staff were at a serious risk.

In light of this second appalling incident in less than a week, I have taken the decision to close down our coumpound until proper security is restored.

Over the past two months, Israeli extremists have been staging protests outside the UNRWA compound in Jerusalem, called by an elected member of the Jerusalem municipality.

This week, the protest became violent when demonstrators threw stones at UN staff and at the buildings of the compound.

Over the past months, UN staff have regularly been subjected to harassment and intimidation. Our compound has been seriously vandalized and damaged.

On several occasions, Israeli extremists threatened our staff with guns.

It is the responsibility of the State of Israel as an occupying power to ensure that United Nations personnel and facilities are protected at all times.

UN staff, premises and operations should be protected at all times in line with international law.

I call on all those who have influence to put an end to these attacks and hold all those responsible accountable.

The perpetrators of these attacks must be investigated and those responsible must be held accountable.

Anything less will set a new dangerous standard.

-Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner general of UNRWA
