I just think it's funny how fucking overpowered Shanks is
Like he lost his dominant arm at 27 years old
I don't even need to get into the chronic pain that comes with losing a limb, or the balancing problems, especially on a surface that's constantly moving or tilting (ship), especially for doing something physically demanding like fighting
He was already on par with the world's greatest swordsman at the time, and then he lost his arm, and then in less than 10 years he not only learned to use his non dominant hand for everything, he got good enough at it to be so strong and such a threat that he was named an Emperor of the Sea along with three other monsters who: a) all had devil's fruits; b) were all much more experienced; c) were all former members of the Rocks Pirates, a group so strong it took Garp AND Roger working together to take them down; and most importantly d) they didn't have the setback of losing an arm and having to train to fight all over again (assuming he wasn't ambidextrous, and even then considering he still wears his sword on his right side, despite that probably making it a bitch to draw quickly, it seems obvious he at least prefered his left hand).
He's also the only one of the original four Emperors left after all the chaos the Worst Generation brought to the New World.
No wonder Buggy has the king of all inferiority complexes, imagine growing up next to that
i love making shifting related photos/collages like this, its therapeutic and motivating at the same time.
i’m getting outta this reality today goodbye 💓💓💓💓💓
get yourself a main character whos two primary emotions are "little cunt" and "catatonic with grief"
i write about shifting in my physical diary because there’s no reason i would ever stop being a shifter and i have no reason to be embarrassed about leaving a record. it’s what consumes most of my thoughts anyway
i am missing my man . peace out
When someone asks me why I want to permashift I typically say because I want to be with my comfort characters.
But on a deeper level I’d say I want to permashift because of how disgusting this world is towards women. Once I started realizing that literally every man I know has said something misogynistic I realized ya’ll were being for real when saying “most men”. I feel as there is no hope for women here, at least not with the way men are stirring today. Misogyny is so deeply woven through society that I even struggle imagining how life would be without it. I sometimes wish I could go back to being oblivious to this bigotry, I also think this is why a lot of women push back on feminism because it really brings an awareness to one’s self that life isn’t going to treat you the same. The sexualization in particular is something that really upsets me. The way movies and shows always have female nudity, the way women are posed in ads or magazines. It’s like we cannot be just human. The way everyone manages to point their finger to a woman every single time something happens, including women. Misogyny is so bad in our culture that even women are against women. Men’s needs will always be put over women’s needs whether its standards or medically. This is a topic that plagues my mind everyday and gets me incredibly upset, so much so that it’s my biggest motivation to permashift.
I steal so many plot points for my scripts from sitcoms I‘m scared that at some point I‘ll hear a laughing track in my DR.
why is tumblr making my life so difficult. i hate this.
