I beg of thee…🙇‍♀️🙏 a snippet, a blip, ANYTHING, of the holy Obikin banter of body politic au brewing in your WIP docs🤲🤲😭

we haven’t gotten to obikin banter yet except inside my head where they’re fighting like cats and dogs but I can share some other banter within the fic because this fic is gonna have an unnatural amount of banter:

“You could try showing some skin,” Aayla suggests from where she’s lounging across their couch, tapping away at her phone. Anakin looks up from his laptop—where WikiHow is informing him that he should try to Put Some Pep In His Step if he wants to get people involved in grassroots politics—and considers this carefully.

“It’s October,” Ahsoka points out. She’s in the kitchen, cooking something that smells vaguely nauseating, but their apartment is criminally small. She doesn’t even have to yell to be heard. “No one’s going to be impressed by you shivering on their doorstep like some abused chihuahua.”

Aayla snorts, which is sort of unfair because she was the one who suggested it in the first place, so she should be on his side forever and ever. That’s how politics work, anyway.

“Don’t do that,” Rex says. He’s bouncing a ball against the wall because he can’t concentrate on his reading assignment and he’s attempting to make it everyone’s problem until at least two of them agree to go outside and play basketball with him. That’s also how politics work, actually. “This isn’t porn, it’s politics.”

“Women don’t like shirtless men anymore anyway,” Ahsoka says. “We like nerds.”

“You don’t even like men at all,” Anakin points out. “And what do you mean you like nerds?”

“Get glasses,” Aayla says. “Try for vulnerable and nonthreatening. Real into politics. Got shoved into a locker sort of energy.”

“I’ve never gotten shoved into a locker in my life,” Anakin says, offended.

“Weren’t you homeschooled?” Rex offers, which is beside the point, because even if Anakin wasn’t homeschooled, he wouldn’t have been shoved into a locker anyway.

“I don’t think any of you should go into politics,” he decides, turning back to his wikipedia page.

Hope everyone enjoyed today's QSMP Cinema event!

As expected, many VODs were unfortunately muted for certain animations because of copyright issues. I know some of the artists weren't able to catch everyone's reactions to their work, and I'm sure there are many other fans & VOD watchers who missed out too.

LUCKY I was able to archive Foolish, Roier, Cellbit, and Quackity's reactions to all the animations, and for anyone interested in viewing them, I'll be uploading them to Google Drive and will post the links here when that's available.

Haladriel (M)

Galadriel Noldor is a talented chef, with a cowboy-cute boyfriend who drives her up the wall.

Halbrand Mairon is a cutthroat TV producer, with a small-town pretty girlfriend who makes him a little crazy.

Celeborn Sindar is a dedicated data reconfiguration specialist, with an arrestingly gorgeous girlfriend who makes his life hell.

Shelob Webb is a gifted textile artist, with a cunningly-charming boyfriend, who makes her question everything- but most of all herself.

Or: a slanted Hallmark AU where one person’s villain is another’s hero.

When ch 1044 and 1045 were released and all the chaos was unleashed, I remember having a very obvious question

"How come the power of human human no mi: model Nika is connected to rubber?"

How is a gomu gomu fruit's awakening the power to turn imagination into reality?

I mean... This awakening grants the user freedom, not just of spirit but freedom of how to use power too. Luffy's ability to manipulate reality while in gear 5 seems to show that.

So??? Why rubber? Why does the fruit give the user a rubber-like body? What does that have to do with anything?

I was totally not re reading Skypiea when I noticed this.

Of course it's white they're in a cloud sky instead of a water ocean, but it's the fact that they use "pure white". White would've been enough to get the point across, right?

Guess where else have we seen that exact expression!? Oda's drafts of Gear 5!!

And the chapter after that? Guess what?!

We learn island clouds in Skypiea bounce just like rubber.

There's no need for Oda to make them bounce, but they do! Exactly like when Luffy turns the environment around him to rubber due to the awakening.

Let's not forget that Skypiea is where we first hear about the "Sun God" and we see Luffy's sirouette resembling the "Sun God Nika" transformation.

So would it be insane to think whatever Luffy has going on during his gear 5 is clouds?!! More specifically island clouds just like the ones found in sky islands.

Think about it.

Rubber was unknown to the people in Skypiea, and sea clouds/island clouds don't survive in the blue sea under natural conditions. Most likely 99% of the blue sea population has no idea what an island cloud is or what their properties are.

For all intents and purposes rubber was the best description blue sea people could give to the power of the fruit. If the fruit hasn't awaken in 800 years, it means no one has seen that transformation (which clearly is not just a “rubber fruit” awakening) EVER?! since the end of the void history gap. You would have no way of knowing. You would just think it’s rubber.

Now what does clouds have to do with the Sun God?

Well other than "they're in the sky" I'm not sure 😂 but someone that dreams a lot is said "to have their head in the clouds". The same way imagination and thoughts in manga are depicted with a floating cloud above the character's head.

It seems to be a perfect physical and symbolic representation of dreams! That's the theme of skypiea and the true pinnacle of piracy - dreams and freedom. It’s what the whole story is about!

There's a reason why I just suffer rather than book hospital appointments, been waiting in a call queue for an hour and I'm still not through. Their phones are only open when I'm in work, and I work in a factory so it's not exactly as if I can just put my phone down next to me until the queue goes down 🙃

[ask-the-phoneline]

whats your stance on the ageold question of who was phone?
