One Piece 1133 talk: Praise Me for Living

i just wanted to open this with I WANT TO PELT SPANDINE AND THAT FUCKING SON OF HIS WITH ROCKS SO BAD OH MY GODDDD

"I'll never forget the sounds of the screams that emerged from the fire" THOSE WERE CIVILLIANS. ON THE ISLAND YOU ORDERED A BUSTER CALL ON. I HOPE YOU CHOKED IN YOUR GRAVE AND SUFFER IN HELL I HATE YOU

(kind of a moot point but one other thing i wanna say when I was reading through the raws was that Spandine says “ガキの皮を被った悪魔だ”/"That's a demon wearing the skin of a child" here which - to me - felt more visceral than the translation. still an insane thing to say about a child though, obviously.

edit: I was thinking how fucked up it was that literally everyone around her believed that she truly was the devil's child, but with descriptions like that (+ rumors spreading about how she can use "freakish sorcery" [-> devil fruits not being common in the Blues?], she'd "slit your throat in the night", and "no human emotions", like she's not human at all) you can see how easy it was for people to get brainwashed into this wrong idea of her when she was young. Government manipulation in, i guess, the entirety of West Blue at the time, ran deep. anyways)

With that outta the way, this chapter is masterful. Im gonna cry. Ive cried already throughout a third of my reading for this chapter, it's just so good. Nico Robin I love you so much

Though its unfortunate that we have to see Spandine again, Oda knows what he's doing bringing back Robin's tragedy at the start of the chapter. We know her story, we've seen her flashback, but it's an entire other thing to see it again in Elbaf, the arc where we know the context of, that Saul is alive, and it gives us a clue that that is where the chapter is heading towards.

Also isn't it crazy that when the dialogue frames Robin as this "dangerous", "unfeeling" person with no heart, the visual we're presented with is her crying as she sifts through garbage to search for food, and then sharing it with a dog?? Hello??? And the panels before that goes "The government won't go into detail about the story" for fear that "the truth" might "traumatize the children", which is CRAZY when slapped upon an image of cipher pol agents with guns actively hunting down a child??? The juxtaposition of Spandine's dialogue and the images that are shown is very telling, it's just so well done.

TW: discussions of suicide (for this part)

We know that Robin was ostracized as a child. We know this. Doesn't make it hurt any less, though. Especially (and especially) when it's shown on the pages clearly of how it affected her.

What got me thinking when I saw this again was that all of West Blue was probably fed this lie from the World Government. Every island she went to knew who she was, literally everyone was warned to look out for her, that she was dangerous and should be turned in. And it's not like travelling out of West Blue was safe, nor was it probably an option that existed for Robin back then- like, she was eight!! How was she supposed to go across the Red Line, the Calm Belt?? She was truly boxed in. She must've felt that there was no other way out. Of course she'd turn to suicide.

That panel of her at the cliff honestly broke me. It's not like it wasn't implied at all back when her flashback was first shown; Her circumstances were difficult for her and it wouldn't be out of left field to think that she might have considered dying. To have it drawn on a page that she considered it, looked down from a cliff, and the fact that the only thing keeping her from jumping was her mother's words and Saul's promise was genuinely heartbreaking. She was so strong to have gone through all of that, she deserves the whole world and more actually

Cut back to the present and she lived through it all and here she is with her family, a place where she belongs aaaaaa 🥲 I love that Luffy gets all huffy (hah) over Robin saying that she can go alone, saying that a captain needs to pay their respects to those who have helped their crew, that it's the honorable thing to do. Sounds like a certain someone, ey? (Ace & Shanks lol, he remembers Makino's lessons from all those years ago too ;v;).

Then they all insist to go with her and it's so cute and I was like oh when did she change her clothes and $@!#>}! ITS THE SAME FIT SHE WORE WHEN SHE MET SAUL FOR THE FIRST TIME!! SAUL'S "FALLEN AND WON'T GET UP" IS BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GREET HER SO HE DECIDED TO JUST FACEPLANT ON THE BEACH BECAUSE THATS HOW HE MET HER FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! ITS SO SILLY BUT I STARTED TEARING UP??? WHAT????AND THEN THE PARALLELS:

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

my heart...... my heart.....augghjkjsdh..... (speechless)

The fact that the first thing he tells her was about how Ohara's sacrifice wasn't in vain, that traces of them still remain, like Robin, did you hear Vegapunk's message?? That was the message from the people of Ohara, their voices are still being heard!! was so goddang wholesome.

And Robin hears this, and she hears about how Saul survived and the things he heard other people call her, and he's getting angry on behalf of her again but all she wanted (and perhaps, what she truly needed this whole time) was something else;

For Saul to praise her for having survived.

(The Viz translation isn't ~wrong~ with Robin's line here, but I wanted to point out how it was put originally; Instead of "I want to hear nice things about how I survived!", the raws read “生きたこと… 褒めてほしい！”, which, as I understood it, "I want you to praise me... for being alive/having survived!". The chapter title has it as "Nice Things" but the original was “褒めてほしい”/ "I want you to praise (me)". And this probably seemed self-conceited in english?? and that's why it's translated like that idk, i just thought its nicer in jp)

But the fact that Robin is asking this of Saul and the fact that she's able to make that request in the first place is where I sobbed because this is what Robin wants to hear!!! It's a childish, selfish request, and it's something she wasn't able to wish for / doesn't allow herself to wish for before because she thought Saul/anyone she loved from her past was dead this whole time or that she didn't deserve it, but Saul is alive, and it's the first step she needs to take to truly heal!! Her changing her clothes and cutting her hair to seem more like herself when she was younger is a deliberate choice, this is the part of her that needs closure, the part of her that went through all the trauma the world had given her, and she's healing her inner child!! She needed to hear this from Saul!! She deserves this so much!!! (im rambly if this doesnt make any sense im sorry khfdjk)

And Saul laughs, and says of course!/“勿論だ！”, no questions asked, and the unconditional love just broke me down man i cant

Note that Robin was smiling this entire time (maybe from the start of the arc? or at least since she cut her hair) and leading up to the last page was when she finally started breaking down. They're crying, the crew's crying, Luffy looking on so fondly, happy for her, and I'm crying. I love One Piece so much, I love these dorks. I don't think I'll forget this last page for my life, it's one of the best moments in this series to date.... Truly the Robin chapter of all time <3

bonus: lmfao?? maybe they'll let him down once they get back for the festivities but rip bozo

It’s a fun video, check her out @what-is-my-aesthetic

My favorite part was her immediately checking out CSPAN footage after showing my meme and…

Mood girlie, mood…

The Yiddish Harry Potter translation feels. Strange

[itastelikefilm]

I wrote the beginning of a small fanfic with Kim’s POV: Kim and Harry are working together at precint 41, but one day Harry goes missing. Kim sits down by his desk every night looking for some clues in his notebook. (Major stuff has already happened and he’s just reading it all over again).

1/2 INTRO

“It’s the same story every night: before going to bed you sit by your desk and start reading the quotes you collected during the day in your notebook: many many cases go trough your head, but only one remains. Harry. Harry disappeared. Three days already passed since you last saw each other, you were trying to solve one of the thousands murder cases you had since you came to Jamrock. A man burned down his ex’s house to the ground, disappearing as well in the night. “At least he didn’t burn dora’s house like that guy” you mumble in your breath, wondering if he didn’t suddenly go crazy and decided to pay a visit to her in Mirova, but the thought goes away as soon as you see the clock on your desk: it’s midnight. It’s time to go. Go back to three days ago.”

Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth.

“There's only one thing that will make them stop hating you. And that's being so good at what you do that they can't ignore you. “

“But humanity doesn't want to die. As a species, we have evolved to survive.”

“Human beings are free except when humanity needs them.”

Am I the only human being in this place? Are all the others animals, waiting only to devour?

In every army, surely, there was at least one worth knowing.

"Listen, Ender, commanders have just as much authority as you let them have. The more you obey them, the more power they have over you."

I’m your tool, and what difference does it make if I hate the part of me that you most need?

“The world is always a democracy in times of flux, and the man with the best voice will win. Everybody thinks Hitler got to power because of his armies, because they were willing to kill, and that's partly true, because in the real world power is always built on the threat of death and dishonor. But mostly he got to power on words, on the right words at the right time."

Graff had isolated Ender to make him struggle. To make him prove, not that he was competent, but that he was far better than everyone else. That was the only way he could win respect and friendship. It made him a better soldier than he would ever have been otherwise. It also made him lonely, afraid, angry, untrusting. And maybe those traits, too, made him a better soldier.

That's what I'm doing to you, Bean. I'm hurting you to make you a better soldier in every way. To sharpen your wit. To intensify your effort. To keep you off balance, never sure what's going to happen next, so you always have to be ready for anything, ready to improvise, determined to win no matter what. I'm also making you miserable. That's why they brought you to me, Bean. So you could be just like me. So you could grow up to be just like the old man.

I will remember this, thought Ender, when I am defeated. To keep dignity, and give honor where it's due, so that defeat is not disgrace. And I hope I don't have to do it often.

Now the teachers would come. The medical staff. To dress the wounds of Ender's enemy. Where were they before the fight, when there might have been no wounds at all?

… the power to cause pain is the only power that matters, the power to kill and destroy, because if you can't kill then you are always subject to those who can, and nothing and no one will ever save you.

"It stopped being a game when they threw away the rules."

Perhaps it's impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretend to be.

"So the whole war is because we can't talk to each other."

"If the other fellow can't tell you his story, you can never be sure he isn't trying to kill you."

“Nature can't evolve a species that hasn't a will to survive. Individuals might be bred to sacrifice themselves, but the race as a whole can never decide to cease to exist.“

“There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you.”

"We have to go. I'm almost happy here."

"So stay."

"I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it."

Album Review #50 - En el maravilloso mundo de Ingeson by The Speakers

This album feels like an orphaned child in the vast landscape of music, completely forgotten in its own land. It represents an eclectic mix of beautiful amorphous Psychedelic Pop, sleek Garage Rock and pretty Baroque.

Rock never truly formed a movement in Colombia around that time (the examples of these era are limited to a handful of artists). Radio took longer to get here due to the country's challenging terrain—three Andean mountain ranges no less, and when it finally took off, all genres that preceded Rock, the Swing, Blues, etc, were long gone, leaving Rock to fight with no context as to its existence and therefore ending with a handful of enthusiasts. And this album? This album was one of those incredible exceptions. Even a lot of Rock artists in the 60s were influenced by Presley and others, they wanted the rebellion and were looking for imitation, it was only when these guys said, "hey, lets experiment and look for some wacky sounds!" That this album came to light. Do you think a label ever accepted to produce it? Never, absolutely no fucking way, not in a million years. It was independently produced in a limited run of 1,000 copies with money of the band members themselves who managed to sell around 850 copies door to door. The studio? It was lent by the owner once they added its name to the album title. It was the first of its kind back then and it was available, because a lot of people still preferred to keep recording the old fashioned way so the studio wasn't being used by many. This record came to be without the infrastructure to support its artistic statements and the fact it exists is just wild.

It sounds very influenced by The Piper at the Gates at Dawn but with a closer approach to Baroque Pop. Oda a la Gente Mediocre with it's polyrhythmic jam, the Medieval Ode of Por la Mañana, the quirky Historia de un Loto. Many songs here pull a kaleidoscope of beautiful soundscapes. Socio-political commentary like Si La Guerra es Un Negocio, and the beautiful solo section in Nosotros, Nuestra Arcadia. Everything here is vibrant and wonderfully intricate. It is music made by and for those who wished to explore. It has an air of stream of conciousness and surrealism with an air of playful fantasy and fairy tale that I really love.

This is the type of thing that you do, no one acknowledges for 40 years, and then, half a century later, someone stumbles upon it and someone comes to you and tells you, “Hey, this was pretty cool!” The album isn't even available here, the 2008 reissue? It was made in Spain. Most available copies? You get them from the United States. Most people never cared for it or even knew of its existence. But the truth is that this album is simply and always be incredibly beautiful. It will be, forever and always, one shining rare gem of its own kind.

7/10
