beautiful!
Hello, some Apothecary Diaries and JinMao for you all! š
i finished marineford arc!!
this is the best arc in my opinion! i have loved the arcs before, but as heartbreaking as it is, i love to see characters push past obstacles and limits.
this arc made me cry several times. ace is one of the most beautiful characters ever written. he's incredibly tragic, but i love how he became such a fantastic person despite the odds against him. growing from his rage, becoming a kind person who loves so strongly, and someone that many people look up to - all of these things make ace so amazing. i know that ace will always be a favorite of mine.
what i felt this arc did so well with was how balanced everything was. the writing, when it came to ace, luffy giving his all to save ace, garp feeling stuck in the middle, and the humor with buggy were all done so well. there was never a dull moment while watching.
the childhood episodes were so beautiful yet bittersweet. watching luffy try so hard to be ace's friend made me so emotional. ace, sabo, and luffy becoming an unstoppable sibling trio was so adorable. i loved how they were the first people who showed ace that he WAS deserving of human connection. all three of them became better because of each other. after losing sabo, ace took his significant brother role seriously, and luffy decided he would become strong enough to never lose anyone again. it was such beautiful writing.
luffy losing ace broke my heart. ace dying defending his father figure and saving his brother is so in character for him. he's never backed down from a fight, always protecting the people around him no matter what. although i wish ace was able to escape, i know that he did what he believed was best for his family. it's incredibly tragic yet beautiful.
i was so sad that the straw hats never met up with luffy. i was hoping that they would be able to reunite at some point. although i wish they were reunited as a crew, i also loved that luffy was going through one of the hardest things without them. it makes the situation that more upsetting. luffy wasn't surrounded by the people he trusted most to try to save his big brother.
watching luffy mourn his brother destroyed me!!!!! i cried so hard watching ace die that i had a migraine; it broke my heart completely. luffy screaming and crashing into trees while trying to forget what happened at marineford was HORRIFYING. we've seen him be so happy in every arc, and now we see luffy at his lowest possible moment. but instead of letting his rage consume him, luffy is reminded of the people he still has in his life. he can't allow himself to give up because he has people he wants to see. luffy lost his brother, but he still has his crew. watching luffy realize how much he misses his friends made me cry so much. he truly loves and cares for them. if it weren't for the connection he has with his crew, luffy wouldn't be able to move forward.
overall, this arc was AMAZING. pretimeskip was incredible. so many fun arcs and incredible ones, like skypeia, water 7, enies lobby, and marineford. i'm excited to see the crew together again in post timeskip.
i have been waiting to get to this moment for such a long time. this panel is so beautiful. thorfinn having a fit of rage after swearing off violence reminded him that this journey heās taking is difficult. to choose kindness and peace in a world of violence is a challenge. yet all he wishes for is the strength to be gentle.
it takes courage to admit that you let yourself react to your rage, even for just a moment. thorfinn doesnāt see this as an opportunity to unleash his revenge but as a lesson. walking a path of peace isnāt as easy as it seems, especially when his past is constantly causing issues for him in the present. but he takes it as a sign that he has more room to grow.
even though heās upset with himself, this alone shows how far heās come on his journey. he can admit he was angry and wishes to be better, and given how driven he is, i know thorfinn will continue to grow kinder because of this moment of anger.
this scene is just so beautiful in every way. the art, the writing, and the character growth. thorfinn is such an amazing character and a testament to changing for the better. iām just loving him more and more throughout this series, and iām so glad a character like him exists. <333
new skip to loafer chapter just got uploaded. life is beautiful once again. the world would be a better place if everyone read skip to loafer I think. I wish the dinosaurs hadnāt been hit by that meteor so they too couldāve enjoyed reading it.
THIS DORK š
kny if the Kochos were the main characters
one of the many reasons why i love kagehina so much is that they both made such an impact on each other. hinata never had a true team and was the only member, while kageyama was afraid that no one would ever be there by his side during a match. but through fate, they reunited at karasuno and helped each other become better players & people. the amount of time they spend playing and learning together will never end!!
Our livelihood is destroyed and we have no means of survival. We appeal to you to help in these harsh conditions that have made our lives unbearable.ā

i love when kagehina eat together in official arts. reminds me of the saying āI love you. I want us both to eat well.ā itās so comforting to see them enjoying a snack or meal together. fuel your bodies!!! grow strong!!
