Zoro Does Care About Luffy And His Newly Acquired Form, But In The Way He's Been Caring Since His Captain

MARRIAGE!!!!!

zoro is so funny cause he's all like 'i'll stand 10 toes down on my self philosophy that no gods exist' and is the epitome of the opposite of a pious man then luffy barges into his life and suddenly worship is all he knows

When talking abt Rin’s and Saes meeting after four years, I don’t see a lot of people talk about what Sae said to Rin about Spain

Sae changed his dream to being the best midfielder, him being the first to use the comment that he was “half-baked” and that Rin didn’t understand what it was like beyond Japan.

Sae is made out to be bitter and cold to Rin, and I agree that what he said to Rin was harsh, it’s clear from the flashbacks that Sae is very protective of Rin, so it wouldn’t make sense for him to switch on a dime.

Sae doesn’t want Rin to have the same dream as him, even saying in response that he should quit if his passion for soccer was reliant on Sae and him being the best.

The impression I got from Sae is that he doesn’t want Rin to follow his path, to live in his shadow because something happened in Spain that changed Sae and he doesn’t want that for Rin. Sae is saying not to follow him, to make his own path, that the one he’s on isn’t one he wants for his brother.

(Think of Itachi to Sasuke it feels like the exact same doomed sibling dynamic)

Sae is pushing Rin away, pushing away his soccer dream bc he doesn’t want him to do it for Sae, to do it in his shadow, because the path he followed isn’t one he should see.

And when we think about why Sae teamed up with Shidou and not Rin, the simplest way I can put it is it’s bc Shidou matched Saes freak. Shidou, for reasons we don’t know yet, is just as fucked as Sae (TRUST, they r the same freak different font)

Anyways….Sae isn’t a complete asshole, I mean yeah, he’s said some rough things to Rin but I think ppl r focusing on the wrong things in the reunion of the two brothers

Either way tho doomed siblings r gonna ruin me

Timeskip Togachako because I needed to put them TOGETHER 🩸🪐



I’m simple, I listen to a song about non-sexual intimacy and I think of zolu yearnings

This is my contribution to society

The fact that Viktor, a scientist, tested every possibility in the universe and found that it was only Jayce who could save him. The man who saved his life and set it on the path to destruction. The man that Viktor both saved and damned.

They are the self-replicating and self-annihilating singularity.

I’ve come to absolutely love the cowboy/western Narusasu au.

At first I was like “nah I don’t really see it”

And then I listened to I’m your’n by Tyler Childers and my little narusasu brain went BAM!

JUST PICTURE THIS: Naruto humming along to I’m Your’n in his pickup truck (obv) with his cowboy hat and orange t-shirt that he always buys a size too small so it excentiates his muscles (and bc he knows sasuke loves it), tapping his thumb against the steering wheel, passing glances to Sasuke who sits in the passenger seat. Sasuke rolls his eyes playfully but holds on tight to the hand Naruto reaches over to him and looks out the window at the endless fields.

Like….

Naruto in a cowboy hat and Sasuke making fun of it but in reality it drives him crazy when Naruto gives the hat a tilt with his infamous smirk

Naruto being raised as a farm hand throughout the small town, Sasuke being from a well known ranch

Naruto watching brokeback mountain one night and then realizing “oh, oh”

THE POSSIBILITIES

Luffy, the king of the pirates that you are....

(Please ignore how messy the frame is in this, it was a last minute decision I realized I kinda hated but had already committed to)

Arcane has had me thinking about this dynamic of what I'd call "found siblings" or something like that.

The trope of "like brothers" or "like sisters" I feel is often translated wrong, or ends up becoming more romantic than inteneded is what I think is the neglect of the tie that makes siblings, siblings.

siblings are tied together by a large, fundamental simualrity that forever will tie them together, regardless of what life brigns them. Sharing the same parents intertwines two indivudals, as well as growing up in the same home, regardless of if you are related or not. This tie is a shared expeircne that shapes a persons deveolpmental years.

Also, what always makes me laugh a bit when I hear the line "they're like my brother/sister" or "We're like siblings" is the fact that most of the time, they NEVER act like siblings.

If you want to have to characters have this "found sibling" relationship, they need to be able to express anger, frustration, and a childish annoyance at the other. Siblings know that regarldess of how much they can be angry and hold a form of hatred for the other, at the end of the day, that person has been in their life so long that there are some things that that person will only understand. It's being close because this person knows too much about you, it's sometimes a resigned love. It's not talking to this person for weeks or months but still knowing every intimate and embarassing detail about how this person's tween years.

Now, I'm speaking from a biased standpoint, I'm not close with my sibling in the way in which we talk with one another every day and are best pals or something. But, they're someone I can call at the end of the day when I need help. We won't talk for a month but if I'm stuck in the ER again because of my chronic health condtion, they'll hang out with me the entire time just so i don't feel lonely.

To write characters that percive one another as siblings, they need to be characters that will always help the other out at the end of the day. They can hate one another, but still come when called. They argue, maybe they don't see each other for months because life just got in the way, but when they see one another, they go back to bickering like six year olds. Sibling dynamics are held together by the fact that they know far too much about each other to stop being friends without it being a liability.

Overall, I feel like what creates a great sibling dynamic is the resigned love both characters hold for eachother. It's an eyeroll and a sigh while reaching out a helping hand. It's disagreeing with all of their choices, but reluctantly saying yes to helping them anyway because at the end of the day, you know them too well, you've seen them at their worst and walking away just isn't an option.

Dysautonomia is so weird bc like what do you mean I’m sweating my ass off with this sweatshirt on but if I take it off my skin hurts bc I feel cold BUT IM STILL SWEATING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYTHINGS BLURRY???
