If I see another comment about how they hate hiyori because "zoro deserves better, he doesn't even like her, she is so annoying when she interacts with zoro" I'm gonna f murder someone
Its 2024, almost 2025, can we stop reducing female characters to their "romantic interests"?
She is such a complex character, strong without the need to pick up a weapon and has one of my favorite scenes in all of wano when she finally gets her revenge but nooooo let's reduce her to "the annoying chick with a crush on zoro"
I playfully flirt with some of my friends constantly ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
On a serious note, do any other aromantic people relate to wanting to platonically kiss a friend, like just on the cheek? I get that urge really often but don't want to come across as weirder than I already am. Platonic hugs just don't cut it half the time ๐
(I think I just want a queerplatonic relationship with another aromantic person but don't know how and at what age I can actually consider that)
Were any other aroaces/aros originally terrified of saying things like "i love you" to your friends because you really didnt want to come off as flirting or nah
oh my god...
so the first screenshot is trying to look this up on tiktok normally, "donald trump rigged election" and it says that search violates community guidelines.
the second screenshot is looking up the same exact thing, but with a (australian) vpn on. canadian vpn didn't fix it fyi.
THIS is exactly the type of censorship to be looking out for on tiktok. this actually is crazy.

Experimenting with my art again
what I find wonderfully intriguing about kuina is her confidence!!, the way she may act arrogant yet hides a fear of falling behind that she just accepted for the most part, before the promise... I just adore her headstrong personality and slightly cocky demeanor so much. gah. usually when you think "dead childhood friend to strong tough guy who's motivated by a promise he made to her" you think of a gentle girl who was kind and loving and saw the beauty in every living thing; and while I do appreciate those characters, kuina's rage strikes a chord with me. her frustration was so strong that zoro would never forget it. and like, same lol. kuina was zoro's rival, the daughter of the head of the dojo, the cool and undefeated older sister figure hiding a deep insecurity insisted by what she had been taught about being a woman. and she was fucking MAD about it, and I'm obsessed with it!!!! she was mad at being born a girl because she had been taught that meant she could not achieve her dream. she was cool and collected but also fierce and angry and sad and only just 11 years old. her memory persists.
in the manga, I think the main memory of her is kuina crying, telling zoro he was lucky he was born a boy. this does kinda fit the "lovely somber girl, victim of the world's cruelty" image more, which is why I AM SO CRAZY OVER EPISODE 19 FOR WHAT THEY GAVE US ON KUINA. her relationship with her father, the interactions with zoro, and fight 2001 is always so vivid and haunting to me. SHE!!! exposing a vulnerability and making a promise just to die the next day. back to the "tough guy remembering the past which motivates him" trope thing: it'd be the girl smiling and saying something touching or heartfelt, yeah? well for zoro it's kuina beating him 2000 times at something he was good at. for zoro it's her defeating him for a 2001st fight WITH REAL SWORDS and then crying about it. for zoro it's seeing someone he respects crumble and fall apart. the memories of her he holds onto are mostly her fighting and being sad... her strength and fears... Man these kids drive me crazy
LIKE HOW CAN TOU GUYS CALL HER A WH0R3 OR SUM SHIT BRU ๐๐ญ SHE'S SO CUTE MEHN

People after Luffy takes down dictators and corrupt power systems on different islands: Yayyy Yippeee I love Luffy <3
People after seeing Hiyori say the dictator of Wano who caused immense suffering for both her specifically and her people should die a gruesome death: Woah ok :/ Didn't you know he had a sad backstory? :( This goes against the themes of One Piece god what a bitch
She/her (Although I don't really care tbh) I'm also aromantic and cisgender.
