Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

You know, I always just kinda accepted that when Usopp and Yasopp reunited, Yasopp would be welcomed with open arms and we as an audience wouldn’t really get a discussion about Yasopp’s decision to abandon his wife and child. We would just be meant to be happy because Usopp’s happy. After all, both Luffy and Usopp think very highly of Usopp’s dad, speak highly of him too. Surely, Yasopp is meant to be a likeable character, and I just don’t like him because of my attachment to his son and my own standards for parental figures.

but oh, boy, last chapter sure had me rethinking Oda’s intentions for this father and son duo, let me tell you. Maybe. Reuniting with his dad isn’t going to be Usopp’s happy ending like I suspected. Because the creative decision to have Yasopp, as his first big character moment, shoot Bartholomeo’s ship down after he’d already proved himself to Shanks? That is VERY telling. Maybe we ARE supposed to dread his and Usopp’s reunion.

I love fandoms. I love seeing fanarts for character's birthdays, I love AUs and genderbending, I love going at con and seeing people dressed up how they love, I love the way people unite through fanfictions, I love shipping characters, I love inside jokes, I love edits and animatics, I love headcannons, I love ten page long character analysis and theories, I love fan playlists, I love content creators on Tumblr. I love fandoms.

This scene we all know, where Sanji kicks Luffy, speaks to me in a very deep way.

While of course, Sanji's goal was to hopefully push Luffy away, and put his life as a member of the Straw Hat crew behind him for good, this scene particularly shows us just how much hatred Sanji held towards himself. His captain knows this, hence his quote:

"No matter how much you kick me, you're the one getting hurt."

The way he speaks to Luffy, slowly more agitated with his kicks and facial expressions, tells us something important.

"Go away." "Get out of my sight." "Get out of my face, now!"

Can easily be classified as Sanji talking to himself and the shame he felt, placed back into the core of his trauma, surrounded by his abusers.

Sanji was kicking himself.

If I counted correctly, Sani kicks Luffy a total of 61 times, including his final blow, which is not shown in this clip. I've written extensively before about how well Oda writes about trauma, and how he implements buddhist philosophy into his works.

This is just my own obsession, reading into things. However, in the Dhammapada, a collection of the Buddha's teachings, verse 61 tells us the following:

"If a person seeking a companion cannot find one who is better than or equal to him, let him resolutely go on alone."

Sanji was drowning in shame and trauma over being surrounded by his abusers again, and he tried to walk the path alone, convincing himself it was the right thing to do. To sacrifice himself.

Luffy did not fall for it, and accepted every blow, emphasizing how Sani truly hated himself, as victims of abuse regularly do.

This scene is immensely powerful for that reason.

has anyone figured out how to be a real person yet

#A FLOOFY LUFFY 😊

I have finally watched One Piece Red and my only conclusion is that I hope someone from Strawhats will hit Yasopp the same way Leorio hit Ging because I know Usopp will just forgive his father
