I had to drop everything and make a comic based on this post by @pointycorgiears
Bonus:
ooh and I’m not done obsessing over this episode so lemme just add one more thing re: colin’s storyline. so like. I don’t know what the guidelines are for apple tv+’s content ratings and what ted lasso being tv-ma means other than that roy wouldn’t be roy without it, so idk what the guidelines are on the f slur today (although I do know that it has been said in succession at the encouragement of brian cox, but HBO Max is a whole different thing idek). but that being said… they could have kept it in. a room full of white male writers, mostly straight, middle-aged… it could have so easily been a group of people who made the conscious decision to keep the word in for “authenticity’s” sake or in the name of maintaining the weight of the moment or whatever. but they didn’t, because it’s this group of dudes, it’s this group of writers and creators who recognized that everyone would know the word that was said, and who recognized that they didn’t need to traumatize (or, in some cases, re-traumatize) their viewers just for the show’s sake. and it’s a very small gesture of goodwill that is like, the bare fucking minimum if we’re being honest, but I’m still going to applaud them for it. kudos to ted lasso for keeping it classy as always and focusing on the love more than the hate.
Garp is the funniest character of One Piece because he's a marine and yet he had a revolutionary son and then three grandsons who are basically: A communist, an arsonist, and an anarchist. The four of them definitely say "fuck the Marines" on a daily basis but would probably show up to a family dinner as if nothing happened
Literally forgot how to be sad for a moment
I smile every time I think about it (:
One Piece places a lot of emphasis on found family, which a lot of people can relate with. However, it doesn’t say that real families suck and should be avoided, it just doesn’t talk about them much. But we know that Roger and Rouge loved Ace very much, we know that in his own way, Garp loves and wants the best for Luffy, Dragon does love Luffy, even they haven’t meet yet. Robin’s mom loved her, and sacrificed herself to save Robin, Reiju and Sora where they only two people who cared for Sanji, and they loved him deeply. Vivi and Cobra, the Boa sisters, Usopp and his mom, and various other examples. The general message of One Piece isn’t that all bio families are to be avoided, though there are families that provide examples of that, but that when you go out into the world, the people you meet will become your family and that’s beautiful.
