theres a phenomenon that happens on here i have been calling "normalize loving parents posting" which is when you spend a lot of time on tumblr and are exposed to a lot of one specific counter-cultural narrative day in and day out until you start to forget what the dominant ideas are for most of the human population and thus feel the need to "defend" things that are widely accepted and popular. it's called this because of the time a bunch of text posts about shitty dads were circulating and then people with good relationships with their dad didn't feel included enough and started making "uhmmm can we normalize loving parents? not everyone has a deadbeat dad, MY dad is great" type posts, seemingly forgetting that good relationship with dad is a cultural norm that is expected and encouraged. i think its good practice, especially when im annoyed, to stop before i hit the post button and ask myself if this is a real issue or if im normalize loving parents posting. because often im about to try to normalize loving parents
nothing sadder than a piece of media making a girl who clearly more than anything else should be a dyke and then going out of their way to make sure the audience knows how interested in men she is. many such cases
it's important to me that people know the original "he would not fucking say that" was in response to a tiktok where someone said eric cartman would thank you for asking for his pronouns. Like it just doesn't hit the same without context.
You can find this pinned to the wall of the kitchen on the Thousand Sunny.
Nobody knows who put it there, it just showed up one morning.
I feel like pirating media that isn’t sold or offered anywhere legally anymore shouldn’t be called piracy. Girl thats archaeology
Thinking about,,, Nami and her boys. The way the monster trio specifically are her protectors physically but she's their protector emotionally. Sanji is her pack mule and Zoro is her wall of meat and Luffy is her wild card, and she exploits this regularly, but a stranger should FEAR taking advantage of them on her watch bc these are HER idiots only. You better not test Sanji's kindness or Zoro's confidence or Luffy's joy. She'd kill for them if it came to it. She knows exactly what kind of encouragement they need. She's there with them after battles. She fully trusts her life in any one of their hands, but especially all three together. She has faith that they're strong and they're crazy and they're good. This is not to leave Usopp out--they have a different dynamic bc they're Squishy Human besties and that's worth its own entire post--but I love the Girl And Her Scary Entourage/The Idiots Under Her Wing energy she has with the monster trio.
