We Don’t Talk About The Reason Zoro Was So Close To Dying During Thriller Bark.

Sometimes I lose my mind over the plot of Naruto bc 3/4 of it is just Naruto being like

“I NEED SASUKE HES MY HOME, THE OTHER HALF OF MY BEING. ”

Naruto went on record with full sincerity “give me your pain, I can bare it” to Sasuke like that isn’t the most loving, romantic gestures ANYONE could EVER do

And I’m supposed to just sit there and be like “oh cool, yeah, best pals”

THOSE BITCHES YEARNED, FAWNED, TORE THEIR SOULS APART FOR ONE ANOTHER AND IM SUPPOSED TO THINK THEYRE “best friends, like brothers”?????

….no.

No. They’re gay.

It’s so strange

I can never fully express what it’s like living with a tbi and the recovery, nothing ever sounds right, all the words feel wrong.

It’s like I’m transcribing a language dead and gone, all the words I have to say you don’t understand, you don’t have the words for what I felt, you don’t have any conjugations or phrases that equate to my grief. so I’m just left saying,

“It was bad”

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.

This hurt (in a good way)

siblings doomed by the narrative

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.

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.

Hey gang, I learned this cool fact so you don’t have to:

If you have POTs and you’re getting a filling or anything that requires a local anesthetic— ask them if it contains epinephrine

Epinephrine, ie—adrenaline—DOES NOT MIX WITH POTS

It’s not common knowledge for most dentists and doctors so give them a heads up so you can get an alternative

Bc the result is the worst POTs flare ever….trust me

My bpm went from 95 to 165 after the injection and it was NOT a cool, chill time

In conclusion:

POTs + epinephrine = NOT A FUN TIME

People see me with my cane and compare me to Viktor when they really should be comparing me to House.

I’m just as insufferable and even more mentally ill

And unlike Viktor, I don’t regret my attempts of ascending into godhood, I actually embrace my grandiose thoughts and ideas with open arms.

And more than that— the homoerotic relationship I have with my rival/partner will NEVER be gentle nor healthy

Zoro does care about Luffy and his newly acquired form, but in the way he's been caring since his captain started with his gears. he cares because he has to know the side effects and how they affect Luffy. Luffy is a God, but that isn't news for Zoro, not when he's been holy from the very start. if Zoro fought for Luffy, if he left light kisses on his cheeks and hugged him as tightly as possible whenever they have to separate and will bite him and let him wear his shirts to sleep, and if he prays by helping him whenever he wants to do something stupid, and if he prays when he lets Luffy drag him everywhere like he's a ragdoll, and if he prays every single time he wakes up next to him. if Zoro believes so strongly in him, it's because he's holy in the way he's human, in the way he's strong all the while he is able to bleed, how he's able to laugh and cry, the way he gets angry on behalf of his friends when you hurt them, a man who frees and helps and yet hates when they call him a hero, he's reckless and makes mistakes, he's greedy and possessive, and he learns, he gets better, he's not the same person he was two years ago and he won't the same as he is now two years into the future. Luffy is a God, Zoro cares about this fact, in the way he's been caring for a long time now because it's not new for him, in the way he will care while he makes sure his captain can get what he wants
