YES MATH GENIUS ZORO ARGGFJEJHSNSJ

Highschool/college AU where Zoro’s part of a sports extracurricular and is known for being a hardcore jock.

The math athletes come across a dilemma where they need one more person on their team due to a dropout situation.

Nami, who’s on the mathletes team, suddenly finds out that Zoro’s good at maths and decides that now’s the time he repays his debt to her. This is so stupid and has probably already been done before but alas I have a need to write out all my thoughts on this stupid brainrot

I love it so much when people draw them with these blinding blue eyes

Blue eyed babies

OKAY OKAY LISTEN

Strawhat karaoke night and let’s say Zoro is schwasted like even with his unusually high alcohol tolerance normally he wouldn’t but for whatever reason he gets on stage or wherever and sings THIS

I DONT EVEN CARE WHO ITS ABOUT JUST IMAGINE HIM SCREAMING THIS INTO A MIC UGHGFHHSHHDHS

you're either in existence or existn't

wanna hear about the effects of native dyes that can be obtained from the local(and some made up but some real world stuff) nature has to give? How it makes that some fabrics are only for nobility (much like purple was) while some place else the exact same this you can get at the market for less than dirt?

how in the same vein this also effects food,music and even language?

do you want to hear about the secret third lung!?

of course you do,in this essay i will

reminder to worldbuilders: don't get caught up in things that aren't important to the story you're writing, like plot and characters! instead, try to focus on what readers actually care about: detailed plate tectonics

another random rant

ok, i’m so annoyed with some (not all) skk shippers. i saw a sigzai post on pinterest and all of the comments were about how they ship skk instead. it’s really, really annoying. i’m also saying this as a souheki shipper who has gotten hate on my other platforms for being a souheki shipper. my real point here is…not everything has to be your otp. i don’t go around on skk posts saying ‘tHiS iS cUtE bUt I sHiP rAnPo WiTh DaZaI’. if you’re one of those skk shippers please stop hating on people shipping other ships. it’s not the end of the world. if you don’t do this and ship skk i’m completely chill with you. just stop hating on other non problematic ships. i don’t hate skk or the non toxic skk shippers. this has been lou. i don’t hate any of the ships mentioned in this post. this is just basic fandom etiquette.

quick rant

i hate in whenever people say ‘fyodor has a god complex!1!1!1’ NO he has a savior complex. he wants to save humanity from sin (ability users). he does see humanity like a god would, but he doesn’t actively think he’s a god. i also hate in when people say he truly cares about nikolai or sigma. he doesn’t. he’s a low empathy being that isn’t above manipulating others for his cause. but he still does have feelings (for example when things don’t go his way he kicks things and he gets actively angry when people say dazai is smarter than him) i don’t agree with the twinkification of fyodor if you’re actively mischaracterizing him, but if you’re making him a little nicer for a fic (if you do understand his character) I don’t mind. thank you for coming to my ted talk, please tell me if i got anything wrong.

Im gonna answer you from here because my comment got lost because of the internet😭 Im gonna write here again😔🤧

@nightblightowl

First of all, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me! I was remembering that moment like Deku was holding her hand with two hands and so I didn't think it was the same one here, thank you for reminding us! Im gonna put the prev hand holding moment here

However I still can't think this moment as romantic because at the prev moment, she was thinking about Himiko Toga, not Izuku. She was thinking about the girl who loved her. And again, when Deku came right in front of him she was still thinking about Himiko Toga. That's why I can't find this panel romantic. It felt more like just hurt/comfort to me. She literally thought Toga was alive and pushed her for a moment so she stumbled (I still think if horikoshi was gonna make izuocha clear, izuku shouldve tried to hold her and then he couldve hold her hand🫠 but anyway). She was still thinking about Himiko Toga.

Yes, she should move on bc she is dead. She has to live with that but she should move on but she still couldn't. I want her to confess her feelings, I want them to talk with each other but if they are gonna date, I don't want them to start dating like this. Izuku made his move to her with Katsuki's advice's, not with his own pure thoughts. Ochako still thinks about toga even when she is with him and I really think they should get therapy first😭 (I wrote this better in my prev comment but got deleted hhhhh)

Lets move on to the other subject

Do you remember when they were child and following bakugo with "bakugo agency" song? I was referring to that :) Izuku wouldn't do something he doesn't like even when he was that little and if I gotta show and example that would be when he was trying to protect someone against Katsuki and the others.

You can also see the pic I send in the first comment. He was asking to bakugo after all this years, about the agency thing. He doesn't need to ask him at all, he could ve ask anyone but he asked Katsuki. Even Shoto got curious and ask them if they are gonna open an agency together and they didn't refuse it so maybe Izuku was actually still thinking about working together even though if it may not be the "Bakugo agency".

Also I've never said Deku is obligated to tail Katsuki, can you please tell me why you thought it like that so I can edit my prev comment? Also I already said he could still be a teacher and be a hero in Katsuki's agency. I thought it was odd for him to reject him without even thinking for a moment. Because this doesn't feel like the same boy that said "Its not like I could just go and refuse him" when Katsuki wanted to fight with him.

Don't you think that rejecting katsuki could've another meaning too? Because what Izuku said in the chapter doesn't feel like a good excuse to me.

Katsuki wanted to be closer to him than before. Izuku whos the one who chased him for his whole life, acted like he is just an old classmate of his is normal for his character? I don't think so. And even if it is, I think Horikoshi should've make that more clear. Thats one of the reasons why I thought Izuku looks so blank in this chapter. Just like you said, they have come so far so thats what makes everything weird.

If you actually read all this long texts, thank you btw lmao. When it comes to making analyses I kinda can't stop😭 🌼

Tbh if my main ship would be izuocha, I'd be so disappointed.

I mean, Horikoshi didn't even drew Izuku catching Ochako when she was literally falling right into his arms. He could've said "It would be a bit of an unlucky situation if you fell, wouldn't it?" (I dont remember word to word in eng those words but you get it.) just like when Ochako talked to her for the first time he saw him and catching him before falling. One of them might have confess their feelings and then they would fall in love literally and that would be actually something meaningful.

I don't know how you guys feel but if izuocha is really going to be canon, I think it shouldve been like this, not with dabbing lmao.

We all know Horikoshi cares how he draws hands. Horikoshi thinks hands are one of the most characteristic things in the human body, thats why him choosing izuku and ochako dabbing makes everything funny to me. Everything about izuku in this chapter was so blank to me idk.

Also when Izuku was leaving katsuki, the way katsuki put one of his hand in his pocket and probably holding that All Might card firmly... I felt a lot of things while seeing him only in that panel.

Their dream was opening an agency together and being heroes together and compete with each other... How did it come to this? Izuku still could've join Bakugo's agency and do part time teacher job, why did he reject him and did that so coldly? What changed? Im sure even Shoto wanted to be in their agency, my baby boy will be frustrated when he hears all of this😭

I wanna talk too much but I don't know where to start...

Note: its just my thoughts, I tried to not add my thoughts about my ship and I respect what you think, if you wanna share your thoughts please do it but in a respectful way :3

!!IMPORTANT!!

I know this is normally the first time I am actually kind of mad at this kind of shit. But I just had to let it out for now

Listen. About the NSFW requests people request in other writers inboxes such as @ensemblestarscafe receiving 2 NSFW requests from one or two anons. Normally we assumed that it was a troller. Now trollers who do this kind of shit let me say this. People aren’t going to think this is funny because they have things they are for sure uncomfortable with. And it sickens me to see people think this kind of shit is funny without even knowing the person itself. Anons who dont read the writers rules. I would suggest reading the rules NOW, because we writers are not going to be writing everything you want, because we have FEELINGS and we are HUMANS. Not to mention we have our RIGHTS to deny the request. I am pretty sure the other people who have spoken themselves said this many times. I assure you we will NOT repeat it once more. Once again, ONE LAST TIME. We writers are HUMANS. Not robots. Nothing that is inhuman. We are humans, that means we have our own feelings and thoughts. Keep in mind the people who have their own blog. It is their OWN blog not yours. I would prefer not to treat them like they serve you. I just wanted to spill this out because I am tired and angry of this kind of shit that people think its so funny but no it isnt because people have their own things that they are comfortable with and not comfortable with. 

Thank you for listening.

sometimes I’ll just randomly shout, “yeonggue was robbed!” Because as a matter of fact, he was robbed, and I will never forgive yg for that.

Everything Wrong With She-Hulk

When female bodybuilders gain muscle, their chest is more muscle than their breast. So factually, she-hulk wouldn't have a large chest. She would have a small one and would be just as ripped as the Hulk. She-hulk should also have the same length of hair that she had before transforming. It's not even explained as to why it's longer, they just added that for sex appeal. Also, if they did make her realistically ripped. They should hire an actual female bodybuilder, don't make CGI abs.

Example image below:

Now here is an image of She-Hulk:

You see how the chest area is much larger, and the body is hourglass-shaped? Look back up at the realistic one, then look at She-Hulk. Notice a few changes? That's because the creators are sexist(+stereotypical) and decided that she must have a “perfect” hourglass figure, with a big chest and "sexy hair". Even if none of it makes sense or can be explained, the Hulk didn't MAGICALLY get huge tits-

Wait. No, he did, nevermind, that doesn't count they are man tiddies. When it comes to male bodybuilding, they actually gain pectoral muscles. It's quite a fascinating subject, women lose breast muscle in place of the muscle they gained. Making their chest smaller, however, when it comes to men. They gain pectoral muscle, giving them man tiddies. As shown in the image below:

After looking at that, check out the Hulk:

IT’S REALISTIC!! THEY GAVE HIM THE MAN TIDDIES!! Hulk should be the one with the large chest, while She-Hulk would have slim to none in comparison. 

When it comes to the love interest, that plotline plot should have been dropped altogether, or at the very least, briefly mentioned over the episodes. Like, subtle things here and there, such as mentioning a date but not going into heavy detail about it, having a guy in her contacts with hearts on the contact name, etc. But the way that they did it is horrible writing if your story can't survive if a single plotline is removed. Then it isn't ready, it needs to be fleshed out far more before it is ready for public viewership. 

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, I will probably rant more about this in the future. Until then, we cherish the Hulk’s realistically massive man tiddies. 

Some other stuff that kinda relates to the situation

Grrr I don't have any reasonable way to do it but I need to axe murder him

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!……

where’s my loyal handsome puppy butch who’ll let me be my bossy princess femme self

uhhhh

Can we talk about Ruoye for a second.

Like, it’s a sweet, wholesome, playful little spirit that loves Xie Lian to pieces, yet its backstory is so fucked up. It only came to life because of the horrible evil acts it was used to commit, and I’m just thinking that poor baby Ruoye has got to be just as traumatized as Xie Lian. The book notes that in its very first moments, it doesn’t understand the suffering that birthed it, but I hardly think that means Ruoye wasn’t aware of what caused it to gain consciousness. It was a lil baby spirit, so it just didn’t understand the implications yet.

And Ruoye had the misfortune of coming to life during Xie Lian’s worst moments. Of course it wasn’t XL’s fault, but it still hurts that Ruoye, innocent little spirit that it was, just wanted love from the person it saw as its creator and wasn’t able to get it. My guess is Ruoye probably quickly understood the circumstances surrounding its birth because of XL’s initial attitude towards it. I almost imagine it had to feel some sort of guilt for its part, albeit involuntary, in XL’s suffering.

However. As we know, no matter what mistakes Xie Lian made in the past, he ultimately chose kindness. I cannot imagine how painful it must have been for him to see Ruoye for a while, given what it must have reminded him of, yet he welcomed and cared for it regardless. He gave it the love that it so desperately wanted. And I can’t get over that. He realized that no matter how much pain Ruoye had caused him, it wasn’t the little spirit’s fault. In a way, I can draw parallels between that and Xie Lian’s treatment of Hong Hong’er, who he always took care of no matter how much others warned him that he would cause misfortune. Xie Lian ignored the warnings because Hong Hong’er didn’t deserve to be punished for something he had no control over. He deserved to be loved like anyone else.

Now, the scene that really got me thinking about all this? When Jun Wu uses Ruoye to tie up Xie Lian in Quan Yizhen’s palace, Ruoye is distraught. I don’t think that is purely because it has been tied into knots, as is explained in the book, but also because of the resurfacing trauma of again being used to hurt Xie Lian, whom it loves so much. And again, like little ghost fire Hua Cheng, it can do nothing about it.

All this to say, I love precious little Ruoye and I love the relationship it has with Xie Lian even more. Despite the trauma and pain, they found companionship in each other, choosing to love. It’s like, one of, if not the main theme, of TGCF, and I never realized how much Ruoye, with all its parallels to Hua Cheng, embodies that.

The true Catholic standpoint on LGBTQ+ Community

I think many people need clarification on the catholic religion's stance on the LGBTQ+ community and I'm going to give it to you.

Firstly I have seen a lot of people talk about how the text was mixed up and the words were actually mistranslated, now I don't know if this is true, but for argument's sake, we are going to pretend that it was not. But even if that wasn't true people (read: mostly Catholics) are misinterpreting what it says so here.

so, in the bible, it says that a man can not have sex with a man. now let's look at this. It does not say a man can not be in a relationship with another man, and it says nothing about female x female relationships or any other LGBTQ+.

Also, we as Catholics are not supposed to judge others for their choices or actions so whenever you call someone out for being gay and being like "you're going to hell!" your sining -_-.

AND if you're going to call out other people for being gay because it's a "sin," then start calling out people for every other sin. I mean divorce, cursing, sex before marriage, racism, harassment, hatred in general.

In conclusion, if you call out people for being gay, it ain't because you're a catholic, it's because you're a homophobic asshole.

For some reason I can’t stop thinking that Carlos (Rafael L. Silva) from 9-1-1: Lone Star just looks like he could be Clark Kent/Superman

LIKE DO YOU SEE?? DO YOU SEE IT??

That’s literally Clark right there

Then as Superman as well. Like. I mean. Come on.

You know I’m right.

The GAang co-parents their kids.

I feel like Micah was watching "the Dragon Prince" while writing the end of Wight Winter.

V-king Nyve and the V-head (I forgot his name) have a lot of parallels to lord Viren and prince Ezran. So many, in fact, that I think Micah might've taken inspiration from these characters.

The first obvious parallel is that Nyve is a child king who has a regent ruling for him until he gets older. Not only that, but his regent is his uncle, much like prince Ezran and lord Viren. The V-head is also shown to have a pretty bad personality, telling servants off for the smallest things, and trying to kill his own nephew for the throne, which is also what lord Viren attempted to do to Ezran.

And if I didn't convince you yet, V-king Nyve can talk to animals... YOU KNOW WHO ELSE CAN TALK TO ANIMALS?!!?!?

Anyways, thank you for coming to my deranged Ted talk...

Tldr: I think V-king Nyve and the V-head are inspired by prince Ezran and lord Viren from the Dragon Prince.
