Using this panel as an excuse to point out how freaking beautiful Thriller Bark is, but also...I think it's interesting that Moriah chooses to live this way.

There are certain aspects of Thriller Bark that can't be helped, like the foggy darkness of the Florian Triangle, and other things that seem part of Moriah’s base personality, as even in his younger years he seemed to have a flair for the gothic. But I do think it’s significant Moriah chose to turn his island-sized ship into a giant graveyard.

Much of Thriller Bark is about loss and how people respond to it. Compare how Moriah treats his dead to Brook. After his loss to Kaido he isolates himself, lets himself go, outsources all the hard work of being Pirate King to zombies he doesn't give two shits about and who don’t feel pain to avoid being hurt again.

Brook isn't able to bury his crew until after he gets his shadow back, but he does the best with the resources he has, while honoring their last memory and wishes. He eagerly jumps at the chance to make new friends and find a new crew, because the simple joy of being alive is enough to sustain him through fifty years of horrible isolation.

Moriah is surrounded by a loyal followers, but he doesn't seem to spend any time with them. He never could bring himself to make meaningful connections again after enduring the loss of his first crew.

Both characters are haunted by the dead, quite literally surrounded by corpses on all sides, but despite those similar circumstances, their pain and loss take them on very different paths

idgaf if bethesda ever tells us concretely which country launched the first nuke, the only answer i will accept is the original one, the one that said "we wont tell you, because it doesnt matter. there is no moral highground in the story of the great war, and the end result for those alive today is all the same either way. those most responsible faced the fewest consequences, and no justice was served. there is no justifiable way to nuke anyone, no matter who struck first. everyone lost and thats the very nature of war and always has been. war is evil, and in that way, war never changes"

not broadcasting who was "really to blame" is purposeful, and any other answer would undercut fallout's core identity to me

i personally think that the best straw hat team dynamic will always be the punk hazard away team of luffy zoro usopp and robin. because like usopp is always the proverbial straight man to the crews antics but he always just deals with it because 9/10 times hes actually correct, however in this case he's locked in a room with the 3 craziest crew members who simply Do Not Care because theyre genetic freaks who are not normal. luffy is always a funny maniac and zoro is always a stoic enabler but then you add robin to the mix as the third monster who has zoros ruthlessness but also luffys inherent silliness (and in dressrosa we see how funny usopp-robin can be as a dynamic) eho exponentially improves the other two and you get a full on monty python anime sketch. of course you have the lake sequence as like the perfect microcosm of how the group works but luffy will just decide on something ridiculous and robin will then be like fantasic plan captain lets do xyz to do just that and then zoro the goonpilled followercell will just be like on it boss and throughout all this usopps blood pressure enters quadruple digits because theyre trying to get past a literal army with only the guitar hero pro controller since they left the rubberband controller on the ship. usopp will be like "holy shit this is tense i hope they dont just crazy murder kill everyone" and then luffy zoro and robin will be like "man usopp looks stressed maybe if we crazy murder kill everyone he'll feel better :)"

to quote a friend of mine, “it's impressive that Kuma is still a man of God when God's only hobby seems to be pushing him down flights of stairs”

consider the sperm whale and the squid. an ancient rivalry that dates back millions of years. we know the whales eat the squids. we know the squids do not make it easy for them. we know this because of the scars the whales carry, scars on the outside of their body, and on the inside as well. how badly must you want something to endure wounds inside your mouth? inside your gut?

consider the whale, who is harmed by what sustains her. consider the squid, whose flesh is soft and delicious but refuses to go down easy.

This made me laugh. At least he’s honest about how awful he is.
