weird that blue lock fans think Shidou is the dumb one in the relationship and Sae is the smart one.
Because I'm pretty sure Shidou is a sensitive intellectual who likes art and philosophy and thinks deeply about everything.
Whereas there's literally nothing in Sae's head except a soccer ball, bouncing around the empty space.
When it hits a corner, he experiences a thought.
Something I have noticed is that so often in media and in real life, is that we push around this narrative that having a “dark side” or being someone who “you don’t wanna see mad” is a good thing.
If you have a “dark side” you’re dangerous, someone who could hurt others and be cruel, and that makes you strong. That being good in a fight, having the ability to be scary when your angry, those are things that push authority.
I don’t get it.
Why must being benign be seen as a weakness?
Being harmless does not make you fragile.
Violence and strength have been so interwoven to the point people mistake one for the other.
Being violent does not make you strong, and being strong does not mean you have to be violent.
One of the greatest ways to show strength not in a character but in life in general is to choose forgiveness (seriously, like watch ATLA and see how Aang shows great strength by forgiving others instead of lashing out).
Anger is a valid and real emotion that you are allowed to express, but it is not one that should be wielded as a weapon. Anger is a secondary emotion, morphed from pain and sorrow.
Anger is like fire. It’s okay to light a fire, as long as it is safe and contained. You can keep a fire in a fire pit going for as long as you want, just don’t burn a forest.
Do not fear your anger and do not use it to strike fear in others. Being kind does not make you weak, being forgiving does not make you soft.
Generosity, honesty, fragility with your emotions—these can bring you strength. To be open with who you are and how you feel is a tremendous feat.
It takes courage to cry, to ask for help, to forgive.
Know that being loving is not a weakness, understand that forgiveness takes strength.
It’s easy to kill a fly, but it takes effort to capture it and bring it home.
"Those government bastards may tell you that your existence is a crime. But no matter how dangerous you may be, just being alive, just being who you are is never wrong. What you do is your choice, there's no right or wrong in who you are." Franky, One Piece
The government may not see us, but we see ourselves, we see each other <3
the worms in my brain won today, here's a sukume sketch based on this reference photo
Born to write fanfiction and scholarly articles
Forced to focus on only one at a time
*Sobs realizing that zolu fanfiction isn't getting me a masters degree*
Something I wish was portrayed on tv more, or like at all is masc lesbian couples/ non binary lesbian couples. A lot of times on tv I feel as though lesbian/wlw relationships r still forced into hetero-normative dynamics of the “man and woman” of the relationship.
Like I want two masc lesbians who r goofy and awkward and aren’t afraid to be vulnerable, who may struggle with sexual intimacy bc of gender dysphoria, I wanna see a wlw couple that doesn’t just fuck on screen all the time, I wanna see cute cuddles, quick banter, silly arguing that you know they both don’t really mean. I wanna see a lesbian couple that helps one another with their gender expression bc GODDAMN BEING A LESBIAN FCKS WITH UR VISION OF GENDER.
I just want to see an awkward, silly, cute masc lesbian couple bc they exist. masc for masc lesbians exist, we r real and we r socially inept.
Why is it that ppl just post abt dieting with pcos…
Like I don’t need diet information I need memes abt the existential dread of knowing that my body cannot function properly
Luffy, the king of the pirates that you are....
ft. Zoro's earring bc they are in love your honor
(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)
Getting blood work done for PCOS bc all my life I’ve had extremely irregular/non existent periods, painful symptoms and extreme lows during times I thought would be my period but nothing happened, along with thicker body hair.
For YEARS. No one believed me when I said something felt wrong, that this was all normal. Advocate the fuck out of yourself, be annoying and push for doctor referrals.
Menstruating shouldn’t be extremely irregular and painful.
Again,
MENSTRUATING SHOULDN’T BE IRREGULAR AND PAINFUL!!!
fuck anyone who’s says that that’s normal, ur body is not fulfilling a cleaning cycle, it’s like pulling up old laundry. That shouldn’t happen.
If u feel like something in your body doesn’t feel right speak up about it. You know your body best, don’t let ppl diminish that.
I love to headcanon that with modern zolu, Luffy is always filming, they give me late 90s early 2000s home video vibes. From birthdays, vacations, home renovations, holidays—to when Luffy just thinks Zoro looks pretty—he’s gonna film it.
hi guys, can I ask what's your current favorite zolu headcanon?
Having pots is crazy bc I’ll be sitting in the ER with a bpm of 160, just chilling, occasionally slumping over and losing control of motor skills but then going right back to joking—
MEANWHILE the nurses look at me like
