#there he goes thinking about murder again haha 🥰

[sparklepirate]

"At that moment, he ceased to think of Sarros as a person. Rather, the man became a thing, a problem to be solved, quickly and without hesitation."

This is already such a fascinating I sight into Murtagh's psyche and it makes so so much sense. Based on everything we've seen about him, he really seems to loathe killing and violence, and yet he never hesitates to do so when it's needed. This really staunch compartmentalization is just what he's always needed to do to survive these situations. Interesting.

One Piece Live Action Season 1 Stream of Consciousness (Spoilers):

This will be a suuuuper long post and will literally be a random string of thoughts and will probably make no sense as a lot will be without context. Maybe just random lines that I enjoy and random gifs that just showcase the random points I like but enjoy

Episode 1

I love this. I love that they didn’t make it the exact same. And having watched the anime, it just makes the subtle hints amazing and when they mention something that wasn’t brought up till later *chefs kiss*. Like they showed Zoro being recruited by Baroque Works when they didn’t even mention that till they were in the grand line I think.

And all of the small hints to the characters like when you saw Cabaji in the scene before he was actually introduced. That’s one of my favorite types of foreshadowing.

Luffy supporting Koby’s dream will always be awesome. And Luffy comforting Koby after see the bad marines is so kind of him. I love him.

The casting is perfect. Luffy. Zoro. Nami.

Nami is me. Everything goes wrong “This is fine.”

OH MY GOD!! Buggy!!

Episode 2

Buggy is just a great performer!

This is gonna get repetitive I know, but they are all such amazing actors and actresses!!

“Cut you down to size.” 😂😂

SHANKS!!!

Episode 3

“Stupid clown” Zoro’s hate of Buggy is hilarious

Already the crew (“not a crew”) are supporting Luffy’s whims haha

“Fans have gotten so toxic” I love this characterization of Buggy

I’m liking how this is a little darker than the anime was. And I love how they are introducing bounty characters. It’s so cool!

Zoro gets thrown in the well 😂😂 And Koby popping up at the end like that was very cool. Love the music they play throughout everything. It’s really making the show better

Episode 4

Zoro is my favorite. He already was in the anime, but it’s definitely true for the live action as well 🥰

MURDER MANSION!!!

Zoro’s lack of direction sense has finally been shown!

The grandpa revel being much earlier in this version 😂😂😂

Episode 5

“You just call that guy grandpa?” Oh Zoro, just wait for it 😭😭 and then his “talk” with Luffy after the fight.

Luffy sniffing his way to the good!!

Omg! This Sanji has so much class and the immediate jokes the rest pull on Nami after he leaves 😂 I feel bad for those who haven’t watched the anime. They are gonna think Sanji is this slick cool character (and he is) but they are gonna realize he isn’t that… smooth. But look at him… I forgive him and support all his decisions

Mihawk is just so bored. “You woke me from my nap”

Koby is playing a much bigger part than I thought he was gonna. And standing up to Garp like that.

Mihawk “though I do like your hat” 😍 I love this man!

Episode 6

Luffy just wants Zoro to get better 😌

Poor baby Sanji screaming for the ship

And again with the foreshadowing with the story of Mont Blanc Noland

They really have changed the way this goes. Arming came to them and Don Krieg died by Mihawk earlier. Not too mad about it though. I think it flows better with the way they made the show. Like I said it’s a little darker and I’m liking it. It’s different but a good different.

Also yum! lookie! Very respectfully of course but still

And there Zoro is being a great first mate vowing to stand by Luffy’s side!!! Done differently but still so beautiful! Tears!!!

Zoro: “Why are we bringing the waiter?” Usopp: “Cause we can’t boil water” 😂😂 Zoro so much happened while you were asleep

Luffy just pulls out Buggy’s head for a bag!!

Episode 7

The chains in Nani’s map room… this is gonna be sad

Nami is trying so hard to mean all the mean things. I’m gonna cry just like when I watch the anime. I just know it.

Zoro’s constant side eye of Sanji is awesome and very in character

Oh lovely. I somehow didn’t realize I would have to watch all the sad things in another format. It didn’t really connect that

And Zoro being first mate again. That’s always gonna be my favorite thing. Even when it’s for sad moments

Nami’s screams… that was so real and heart wrenching and that “help me” scene was so on point. The one scene that was practically the same and it was the one that causes tears 🥲

Episode 8

The blood and chains and pain little Nami had to go through

“Finally I get to cut something” Zoro is so done with emotions 😂 he just wants to do what he does best

So I’ve thought this from the first time I watched Arlong, but why would he think a revolution started from the “weakest” sea have any traction. I get “plot” reasons, but still….

“Round Two, Arlong.” Yes Luffy! Go!

Buggy! That was so funny! I love this Buggy!!

And Zoro’s immediate response “Fucking clown” 😂😂😂😂 I love this so much y’all

Go Usopp!!! “No one’s around to see it. It’s okay. They’ll believe me” loved it the first time I saw it, love it now too.

Sanji gets kicked backwards and Zoro just casually walks out of the way and around him. I’m so glad they are still the same Zoro and Sanji as ever 😭

Sanji says that all the best fighters call out their finishing moves and Zoro immediately gets flashbacks to Luffy saying the exact same thing!!

The Garp and Luffy confrontation!!!

“Be a good Marine.” “Be a good Pirate.” Love them.

The barrel scene!!! Yes!!!

And the sneak peak at Smoker!!

I absolutely loved this!!! I need a full adaptation of the entire show and I need them to keep the same cast for them all!!

Voilà, here I am !

Hjdhjfhf I was so happy to receive my notification, I wasn't expecting it until next week, I read that you were sick (are you feeling better ?)

Last night alcohol and tiredness got the better of me and I admit I can't remember everything, so here goes the live reaction while I'm re-reading !

First, surfing, I love the idea ? Hanma in a wetsuit I 😍 ... ok, let's focus again.

Our girl is so cute, supporting, applauding and feeding our favorite psychopath playing in the waves, like a devoted babysitter.

"Even a broken clock is right twice". That's it. I think I've said this before, but it's in simple little lines like this that the cleverness of your writing is most apparent. I can't explain why, but I'm blown away every time. You really have this style... idk, it's just smart, sorry I wish I had more words to define it.

"He's glad he resisted crushing all that good health to nothing today." Hm ok, thanks Shuji-baby for not killing us today ig 👉🏻👈🏻 ? (The fries in the milkshake is a big no though. Red flag.)

The euphemisms in the recommendation. This little moment of complicity, I live for it ok ?

AAAAAAAAH DARK MITSUYA I'M DYING !! Seriously, I'm thinking of proposing to the person who will one day write about a not-so-good-Mitsuya (writers here, this is a cry from the heart !)

My goodness. My post is getting really long, I'm getting embarrassing.

The way Hanma narrates the murder, methodical, organized, cold. I got chills, if I were her I would have been fucking terrified.

You know what I love most about your heroines? It's that she (God I'm sorry, I don't remember if she has a name or not) and Yasuko are not bad bitches, they are simple, random girls and yet, that doesn't stop them from being sure of themselves and their desires in front of men who are more than intimidating. I could never. I mean, it took me nine fucking years to be open about it with my boyfriend ??? (Yeah.. maybe I'm the problem 🫠).

"Yeah, yeah, I want to go dancing with you," naaaaah she is so cute !!

"He could just eat you up." YES, PLEASE GO AHEAD SIR 🫡

Ok, I'm at the smut point and I'm going to repeat myself again but you are one of the last authors who can make me blush. WELCOME TO THE CLUB yeah I remember last night stomping my feet on my bed lol

That's it, I'm done bothering you now. I loved every part of this chapter and I would have so much more to say but I'm getting tired of my own self so I'll just say thank you and tell you again that it's always a fucking pleasure to read you. See you 🥰

the RE-read? gosh i am so spoiled by you. i do not deserve it!

hanma in a wetsuit! you are so right for this. someone should draw it fr

i enjoyed the little mitsuya drop there. he would be feral about his sisters & i'd read too haha.

one of the weird things about this chapter is that hanma's now in a great mood, he's happy, he's chill, but he's still so dangerous. you really nailed it when you said reader is babysitting her favorite psychopath. he can be happy and thinking about how he almost killed the instructor - he probably wouldn't have killed reader - and he can cheerfully recount murder. reader's past being too scared though, no matter how chilling, because she saw him gouge that guy's eyeball out once. they are past it lol

i am really really flattered by your comment about this reader and yasuko in dgm!! yes, they are not bad bitches because what kind of power / confidence / authority would even mean anything in the context of these dangerous murderers? and i like the contrast between those two characters. yasuko is def more sure of her desires, but less strongwilled, while this reader actually really struggles with recognizing or pursuing what she wants but is a concrete wall when it comes to what she DOESN'T want and i respect it. anyway ty that's really nice

& thank you for stomping your feet at the smut 😆 i felt like i rushed it, so good to know it has the stamp of approval >> i will see myself out for that pun

your comments are always such a joy to read and they provide not only great insight into what is landing with readers but also great motivation to continue, so thank you sincerely for this 💖💖

Not Me Episode 8 Thougths:

- Not exactly how Black would act, but okay, White.

- Don’t sit on my bed with your dirty pants!

- Yok and Sean: should I take my pants off?

- I guess one wedding under the rainbow flag is not enough to make White forget Sean almost killed him.

- Gram, Yok, and White: lemme sprawl on the bed in front of my crush

- You use your brain and smile more 😂 wasn’t Black always the brains of the operation? Now White’s just using his brain for less, I don’t know, volatile options.

- You use your brain and smile more 😂 wasn’t Black always the brains of the operation? Now White’s just using his brain for less, I don’t know, volatile options.

- White is so smiley though :)

- If it’s too much to handle, I’m here to listen 😭

- Sean’s telling the story of how his father was killed, and White’s like, mmhmm you look really hot when your sad. Imma kiss your lips. No, I’m definitely listening also, though.

- Aw, his classmates were mean to him :( No! His mom got sick and died, too? Aww, Sean 😭

- Not a cheek/neck touch! He’s stroking his cheek. I can’t handle this.

- He’s playing with Sean’s earring 🙈

- Sean’s so surprised “Black” trusts him 🥺 (so am I. Do you have any non-love related reasons, White?)

- Crazy trust fall! 😂🤣😂🤣

- Hahaha why did he head butt him like that?

- You’re so dumb, White. You thought hitting him with your head wouldn’t hurt you?

- Oh, so he’s not fake sleeping? What the heck, White? Did you take a sleeping pill or something?

- Just touching him so softly. He’s probably thinking, I’d be murdered on sight if I tried this with Black before.

- Why is it good that he’s inebriated?

- I like that everyone’s skin looks like skin in this show. That’s a weird sentence. But like, you can see the imperfections. Everyone doesn’t look like a flawless drawing. I mean, they’re obviously all gorgeous, but I like seeing Yok’s little scar on his cheek and the pores on their faces.

- Okay, take your clothes off. I’m not joking. 😄

- Sure your intention is only drawing, Yok. I believe you.

- It’s so funny that Dan just goes along with this. He kidnapped Yok and brought him to his illegal apartment, and now he’s like, okay let me just take off all my clothes and let you draw me.

- Yok is so cute

- Is he gonna go into a fugue state again?

- Yok coming for Dan’s life. Is your dream as beautiful now as it was when you were a kid?

- You made him cry, Yok! 😭 what’s happening! 😭☹️

- Wow, he’s a fast drawer.

- You might as well just kiss him to make him feel better.

- Oh, no! Another cheek stroking 🥰

- You’re getting his face all dirty.

- That was so soft and sweet

- Why is Sean looking through his stuff to begin with?

- Glasses?! No! Black would never!

- 😂 what a way to wake up

- He bit Sean!

- 😂😂😂 he hit Todd right on the head!

- But yay! Todd’s return! Why is he bringing groceries? Why does he just let himself in?

- He’s thirsty because he doesn’t remember how to get water for himself because Gram is always doing it.

- Don’t tell him things, White!

- Haha this is all I need to fill my stomach. Thank you soy milk. ;)

- Why was that whole thing weirdly flirty?

- Gram! He looks like he hasn’t been sleeping. But still beautiful, obviously. Oh, he’s serious about something.

- Oh, suddenly White can jump up ramps, huh? 🤔

- Ugh, no. Not a Eugene talk. I’m not ready. Is Gram going to be sad when “Black” doesn’t even care?

- Sean and Gram: punch me, so I feel better about hurting you

- Gram! He’s in love with Black, and still trying to get Black back with Eugene 😭 He’s so selfless :(

- They broke up before that though, hun. That was the whole reason the kiss came about.

- Now Gram is crying 😭 Ugh, this is a rough episode.

- Sean, sitting there with murder in his eyes. Gram, with a broken heart. White, with… I don’t know, but his eyes kinda look dead.

- Gram’s still taking notes 😂 He’s like, this might be my mortal enemy, but this is still a school lecture.

- Nuch jumping in with a question five seconds in.

- This is what the bathroom of this university looks like?

- Sean, don’t make him suspicious of you when you and the gang keep attacking him! That’s dangerous!

- Did you think he’d admit to it?

- Gumpa!

- Oh, leads to expose Tawi’s drug dealings. Everyone in this gang is going through romance drama, and Gumpa’s over here like, if anyone wants to focus on the actual purpose of this gang, I have new information we can use, thank you very much.

- Namo!

- Gonna observe Tawi from an abandoned warehouse.

- You’re just gonna walk back?

- Black looks like a ninja turtle riding up with that thing on his back

- Hello there 😉

- Did he ask how “Black” got out? He’s not curious?

- He definitely moved the bench there to make it easier for White to get in.

- I wonder if that was a camera man’s shadow. Looked like someone wearing a hat. Maybe not

- Well, I’m sure Gram and Yok are better at spying than White.

- You are having way too much fun on this super serious stakeout, Sean.

- He constantly wants to touch “Black” now. (Just like Gram 😭)

- Sean! This is not the time or place for a trust fall!

- They would have both fallen off that ledge.

- 😂 White! He’s like bitch, you ain’t special. I’d save anyone.

- Reverse cheek/neck hold :0

- He said “Black” is keeping him alive 😭😭😭

- A forehead kiss 🥰

- A kiss kiss! 🥰🥰

- A follow up hug! 🥰🥰🥰

- The relief in that hug 😭

- I feel like you could see White hesitate because he knows Sean thinks he’s Black (but does he? Why did he tie him up? What does he know!?!??!)

- Preview: Mmm, so he knows he has a sibling! Ugh, when just Black come back!?! next episode? I need him!

- So who’s seeing the SeanWhite kiss? Black? Gram?
