Lavenderhayes12 - One Hellish Mess Of A Blob

dear USAmericans,

VOTING WORKS!!!

French people showed up, French people voted, turnout was higher today than it has been since 1997, and we kicked the far right to 3rd place

a week ago, the far right was the biggest party in France, we were slated for a far right parliament, prime minister, and government

this week, we voted against them en masse and we won!

VOTING WORKS!

you're up next in November! it's very rare we get to say this, but this one time, take example on the French! show up and vote!

because VOTING WORKS!

Idk who needs to hear this but if you like this you'll like One Piece.

And I know. I know. You wouldn't think so. Maybe you think it's too long. Maybe the art style is off-putting to you. Maybe you think it's just a regular shonen. But I promise, from someone who was in your shoes a few months ago. It's good. It's really good. Infuriatingly so. In my opinion, quality-wise, it's closer to Fullmetal Alchemist than it is to My Hero Academia or Naruto.

One Piece has been running for so long there's a 99% chance any trope you can think of has been in there at some point.

Red and blue gays? You know it. Silly little guy being just as tragic as the brooding guy? It's there. "The love was there, it didn't change anything, but it mattered that it was there"? Literally an entire arc. Found family? The whole plot. Cyborgs, mermaids, zombies, skeletons? All there. Canon queer characters? Most beloved. Anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, anti-war massage? Check, check, check.

It's all there. And it's SO good.

Start with the Live Action. Start with the manga. Start with the anime. It doesn't matter how you start, it's incredible. Some people plow through the whole manga in a week, others watch the anime over a few months. There's literally so many ways to consume it.

media: the very serious brooding asshole character is actually super deep and complex

me: ok

media: the dumb joke character is actually super deep and complex

me: ghhogoohhh. ohhhh oh mygod. oh m. oh. are you kidding me. oh i am going to throw the fuck up over this

Right then. Can you do fast?

That’s a secret I’ll never tell

And in contrast to the far right reaction, here's the moment leftists found out the result:

What cracked me up is that they were 100% getting ready to protest/riot at the anticipated far right win.

I can't believe donald trump and James Charles got to see lando norris' first win and I didn't should be illegal

This came to me in a dream

Just because I lost photoshop that doesn’t mean I can’t make poorly edited shitposts.

Happy 24-6-01!

do you think mocking catholicism is funny

yes. next question

update the french president still has not agreed to let the left form a new government despite the new popular front coming first in parliamentary elections 3 days ago (and the constitution stating that if the party with the msot seats in parliament isn't the presidential party, the president must name a new prime minister from this party to form a enw government) - he wants to wait until the country's more "stable" (he's the one who called for new elections for no reasons despite knowing it might lead to him governing with a prime minister from the far right but apparently one from the left is worse) so he's refused the resignation of his current prime minister (who resigned according to constitutional and national tradition since the presidential party lost this election). many members of his party and even government are saying they'd oppose a government with members of the left or they'd refuse to work with them and they're acting like they're still the majority 🙃🙃🙃 this is fine it's not like we're supposed to be a democracy where votes and elections' results are to be respected and the leaders are chosen by the citizens or whatever

edit: he just published an open letter saying "no one won" (technically no party came close to the majority but the left front still has a lead) and that all the political forces that are republican should work towards forming a new plural majority"... I have no words he's forcing the parliament to rearrange itself because he doesn't want to risk having a leftist government
