Can we talk about Percy seeing his mom in the underworld?
Look at how horrified he is.
There isn’t even a sliver of relief at seeing his mom again. The only thing on his face is wide-eyed terror.
Now look at what Sally looked like:
Did anyone else think that it seemed kind of familiar?
Did anyone else think that it kind of looks like she’s frozen in gold?
Percy saw his mom and it instantly reminded him of being encased inside Hephaestus’s trap in Waterland. Paralyzed and awake while he suffocated slowly and painfully. He’s remembering the panic he felt when he thought he was going to die and how much it hurt when he was freed; Even though he was alive, his lungs burned with every inhale and his head spun from lack of oxygen.
Now he’s putting his mom in that position

I like to think post-Milgram they all get to know each other more and Amane, finally jaded with religion, starts to veer into Reddit Atheist type spaces online and Fuuta's gotta tell her "NUH UH UH"

I told myself when I started TWD that I wasn't going to post about it because I don't have to broadcast all my hyperfixations, but like...look at this:
I know of multiple fandoms where the main ship has a FAN EDIT that looks like this. This is so romantic-coded! I don't care if it was 2011 they should have been allowed to kiss istg.

IN DEFENSE OF CLAIRE-BEAR.
hear me out!!!! as much as i acknowledge how annoying Claire was, i think we need to understand that everything about her was intentional.
she's given the white, quirky, 'manic pixie dream girl except she has her life somewhat together, 'i know you/i see you,' bullshit dialogue and character design, it perfectly aligns with how foreign the concept of love is to Carmen.
Carmen literally cannot wrap his head around staying in a stable relationship due to his childhood trauma manifesting into his obsession with his career. So, Claire's dialogue and dreamy persona is amplified when she's around him, probably meant to convey Carmen's internal idea of her: unreal, ethereal, making him feel unworthy.
not to say that they should be together btw LOL definitely not. she left, now it's time for her to never come back🙏

Sighs deeply. Ok who wants to join my calming circle?
Read this and then take a deep breath. (SBS/Twitter post with Kid Pirates backstory, contains spoilers)
OP/Kid Pirate spoilers and general word vomiting below - DNI if you don't want to be spoilt. TLDR second to last paragraph.
While I'm happy we finally got SOMETHING - I'm mad af that it came as an afterthought of copy/pasted story board notes instead of being adapted into the manga. IDK if that means it'll never happen or what but learning about how the Kid Pirates (pre-pirate crew and literally just being in different gangs) literally toppled a corrupt ruling gang and more or less liberated their island (while Kid was prob in his mid-teens no less?!?!!!) is so fucking cool!
Luffy didn't liberate his first town until he was 17 and Kid already had his infamous pirate reputation by 19, so he could have been anywhere between 14-18 by the time he led a coup on a whole ass island?!!?! (- pure speculation on the age he did it.) Get FUCKED God of Liberation Nika LMAO. Angry mans is literally just Luffy but bigger (hotter), scarier, and more vindictive.
I wonder how much of the coup fall out was attributed to them. Like OFC they took down the ruling gang leaders of the island but how many people died in the fallout(pre and post) that were prob killed by the gang leaders/gang subordinates or w/e that got pinned on Kid and his crew instead and then the WG just ran with it? Would explain their unusually high civilian count.
I can see the headlines now: rookie crew Kid Pirates murder entire island as they took off on their maiden voyage, and then the Kid Pirates were like yeah sure we're pirates now, lets be BLOOD THIRSTY AND SAVAGE PIRATES everyone thinks we are anyways.
<takes breath> Moving on.
Now...don't get me wrong, I don't HATE the idea that Kid's love interest died and naming his ship in their honor...but THAT'S the straw that broke the camel's back for him to A) build alliances with other gang leaders and B) DO A coup d'etat? That's...really boring, especially if Oda doesn't elaborate or give us ANY more background on them or even any flashbacks of their pasts.
How Kid recruited the others for the coup d'etat after his girlfriend was murdered.
So um yeah. TLDR Kid's love interest was murdered and he went OFF, liberated his island from a corrupt gang family with his buddies and THEN made his crew.
Before I end my unhinged rantings, I would like to say: I FEEL SO VALIDATED in my OC fanfics where I write Kid as a closeted romantic who would do ANYTHING to keep his love interest safe and NOW WE KNOW WHY hehehehehehehehehheheheheheh ok bye.

This was the first fan piece made by @speaching for “Why So Serious”. (A story by Lulu_Rythmea & @huntressundone on AO3.) Jason isn’t quite sure what’s going on anymore. Tim needs help.
I know this was done a year ago, but I’m still blown away by the level of detail. Bravo.

The very day that my hair grows back I will be getting the same cut as Rei but with braids. Whoever was behind his character design knew what they were doing and I must applaud them for their services.
