My favorite genre of scene with the Straw hats is when they're all frightened they're going to get killed by a big big scary monster and Luffy looks at the creature like he's gonna befriend a tiny cute beetle
miles morales is only ever allowed to hang out with the spider-gang for like a day because any longer and he'd start unlocking their traumatic pasts and suggesting healthy coping mechanisms about it. he was in that HQ for ten minutes and already pointing out how messed up miguel's trauma response of micromanaging the multiverse is. immediately said that gwen should just talk to her dad. didn't let peter B get himself killed because he was scared of messing things up with MJ. the real anomaly here is that a spider-person has emotional intelligence
just another innocent civilian dead while the us continues to twiddle its thumbs on pushing for a ceasefire.

When it comes to phrases and sayings, I've noticed that a good way to test their validity is to see if they also work in reverse.
"What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" - If something isn't making you stronger, it's killing you.
"If it looks stupid but it works, it's not stupid" - If something looks smart on paper but doesn't work in practice, it's still stupid.
"Treat others as you would wish to be treated" - Don't treat yourself worse than you would treat a stranger.
"Any job worth doing is worth doing well" - if something's not worth doing, it's not worth half-assing either.
"When there's a will, there's a way" - If you truly do not want to do something, it will be impossible no matter how easy it should be.
I hate the like…. cutesy plasticization of animated movie monsters. Many of the dragons in How to Train Your Dragon were a little too simplified and smooth to suit the surrounding animation style but it worked well enough. It definitely did not work in The Sea Beast, which was otherwise cute—every single monster was distractingly flat and oversimplified that particular “CGI designed to become plastic toys” way that I really don’t think matched the richness of every other texture in the movie.
Gators daily free palestine moment???
this has been on my mind for months. finally got around to making it.
the frames for it and gif of luffy eating super quick:
yemen is the poorest nation in the arab world. but in two weeks time, it did what no oil or gas- rich arab nation could do. by seizing three ships and costing i****l more than 2 billion by forcing its ships to go around africa, yemen showed up.
my watery friend... are you too brushed with the pattern of the dappled light...?

@el-huddpudd for your poetry tag 💜
You cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as you do. This is your tragedy … because you understand them, and they do not understand you.

the whole "doflamingo has always been evil" thing doesn't sit right with me. idk. maybe it's because i think the environment during childhood is what shapes someone's personality, especially if there's a traumatic experience. and call me crazy, but perhaps being raised in a world full of supremacists and classists with an extreme god complex can affect your views on the world and yourself at a very early age. and perhaps i'm being a bit insane here, but, like, idk. maybe being fucking tied up and tortured and seeing everything you love burnt down to ashes while a whole town tells you you're evil for your mere existence could make you develop a hatred towards them. and, wow! maybe i'm saying something wild, but if you're taking care of your little brother and an older man tells you you're the chosen one to create a fucking mafia and he boosts your god complex to an insane, unhealthy, and almost grooming-like extent, of fucking course you're gonna end up like doflamingo.
but idk, call me crazy.

I want to try doing this
decolonizepalestine.com is an easy to navigate website run by two palestinians which breaks down common myths about palestine and provides a reading list organized by a wide variety of categories ranging from history and culture to media and censorship. it’s a good starting point to use if you want to learn more about the modern day situation in palestine and understand the truth behind myths that have been perpetuated about israel’s occupation of palestine.

For the first time, researchers have found evidence that underwater ecosystems have pollinators that perform the same task as bees on land.
Just like their terrestrial cousins, grasses under the sea shed pollen to sexually reproduce. Until now, biologists assumed the marine plants relied on water alone to spread their genes far and wide. But the discovery of pollen-carrying ‘bees of the sea’ has changed all of that.
Over several years from 2009 to 2012, researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico filmed the spring nocturnal wanderings of crustaceans among beds of turtle seagrass, Thalassia testudinum.
Looking through the videos, they spotted more invertebrates visiting male pollen-bearing flowers than those that lacked pollen – just like bees hovering around pollen-producing plants on land.
“We saw all of these animals coming in, and then we saw some of them carrying pollen,” lead researcher Brigitta van Tussenbroek told New Scientist.
The concept was so new, they invented a new term to describe it: zoobenthophilous pollination. Before that, researchers had never predicted that animals were involved in pollinating marine plants.
