Too many thoughts and not enough brain power but DAMN I love the way they meet.
The fact that Shin, who knows by now that he’s gay, looks at Miw and either thinks she’s gonna reject him anyway and if not seems interesting enough to try to be physical with at least once.
And the fact that Miw, who isn’t one of the dancers, looks at Shin and sees a) easy prey and b) a person safe enough to be alone with and maybe get physical with. And we KNOW how bad her experiences have been with men (at least now we know, oops).
I really love that. I love that they have this moment of bonding and of getting vulnerable with each other so fast and so early. They need it. They need it so much because Shin is becoming Miw’s safe space in some way and he’s the reason to keep them together since all she does at the beginning with Neo is to fight.
And Shin needs her to also have this person he trusts and who he feels comfortable with and who manages to push him to the point where he also lashes out and stands up for himself.
I mean, Shin is the one SHE lashes out at the diner, when she’s high on anxiety because she’s back on the island. Because she trusts him not to hurt her.
Also it totally helps that both are hot AF and Shin needs a pushy person like Miw and she needs a soft boi like him. And I, personally, have all the fun watching those two interact <3
Like LOOK!!!
Shin is gay but he gives her a try and damn that’s a hell of a try! And I like that when it comes to her he’s more fluid because sexual intimacy is a way they later show their love and affection when Neo is involved. They have their own special way to deal with each other and love each other and love that it’s complicated and real™
I love how Charlie and Vaggie are both feminine!!! Cause I rarely ever see two sapphic fems in a relationship, in media. 🤔 Like I saw a reactor get confused on why Vaggie was the one wearing the nightdress, and said it would suit Charlie better instead, NO! Have you seen my girl? She loves wearing suits, any chance she gets! 😁 And that's so fucking awesome!
Also, let STRONG WARRIOR BADASS, WOMEN, wear skirts, and cute GINORMOUS pinkish bows, frills! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Like that's so cute, she looks so cute wearing that bow 😭 And being a fighter.
But I also love how Charlie dresses more on the masculine side, while still being fem, it just GAH! Makes me so happy, like this Disney-esque princess wears tuxes, that's so cute.
But like she's this pretty, gorgeous sun-shiney princess, and she's feminine, yes. But she wears tuxedos, and that's so FUCKIN' amazing!!! GAHHH!! :D 💞💞
I love these girls so much, it's insane. They're both so cute, and GOD! They're both so pretty, and sweet! And they're both badass, strong, POWERFUL WOMEN! Like,
LOOK AT THEM!! LOOK AT THEM!! I WANT ALL OF YOU TO LOOK AT THEM!
Sanji keeps a picture of Sora with their stuff and when Usopp finds it the first thing that comes to his mind is "you look exactly like her" and it kind of sort of makes transfem!Sanji's (who hasn't come out yet) heart melt
the arc I have been on in my attempts to Casually Date this one person I think is hot are like:
oh sick I actually kind of smoothly danced with and then asked out someone at Pride
wait though they're my friend's friend is this actually a date or did we spend a day at a sauna platonically? felt like we were going to kiss but then we got homophobed by some random passing drunk men and they had to get their bus
well they want to see me again so it's probably a date right?
is it a date????
they're busy
I'm busy
they message me and say let's hang out on Monday. then message later saying fuck I have band practise we can hang out until like 7:30 though
that's a hang? that's a date? HOW GAY IS THIS????
anyway I just got home and unsurprisingly the answer is YEP and also GUESS WHO GOT A BIT OF KISSING 🤟
