monkey d luffy as an in-universe concept is so fucking funny to me because likeā¦
you just live peacefully on your island and you keep hearing tales of this like crazy monstrous pirate crew who will come and destroy half your island and overthrow your government and then one day they show up and itās just some scrawny little Noodly Boy and his weird teenaged friends and youāre like oh damn heās not threatening at all??? he just wants to be friends and eat all our food??? and then before you know it half your island is destroyed and your government is overthrown
I keep seeing posts on social media thanking the OFMD cast and crew for their work and not mentioning Taika, and it's driving me to distraction because Taika is absolutely fundamental to the existence of this show.
There's a huge chance the show wouldn't have been picked up at all if Taika hadn't attached his name to it. And he didn't just attach his name and walk away - he played a key role in developing the show. David has said that he was looking at the history with Taika and they both went 'omg Stede and Blackbeard were fucking' and decided to centre the show around that. Taika pushed for Rhys to play Stede. Taika saw Nathan's comedy on instagram and went 'yep that's Lucius'. Taika was desperate to play Ed, and fought to play him. Taika has spoken about how much he loves playing Ed, how it made him fall in love with acting again, to the point where he wears some of Ed's jewellery and has gotten some of Ed's tattoos actually inked on him. He poured everything he has as an actor into Ed (some of the stuff he had to perform, particularly at the beginning of S2, is difficult) and the show simply wouldn't work without it. Taika directed the pilot. He loved the show enough to juggle filming S1 with post-production on Thor: Love and Thunder. When the show's budget was slashed by 40%, and could no longer afford to film in LA, Taika would have been key to moving production to New Zealand - and if that hadn't happened, S2 wouldn't have happened. When a director went off sick with Covid during S2, Taika jumped in to direct half an episode and then didn't take a director's credit on it.
You do not have to like Taika. You do not have to agree with everything he does/says. But what we are not going to do is erase the absolutely key fundamental role that Taika has played in OFMD. This show simply would not exist, probably not in any form, but certainly not in the form we see and love, if not for Taika's continuing and multi-level contribution.
Man. I dunno. I just love the idea of characters losing control over their special abilities when they get flustered.
Todoroki accidentally lights himself on fire because Midoriya said he was cute today??? Precious
Midoriya accidentally shattering his cellphone in his hands because Todoroki smiled at him? I C O N I C
Sasukeās sharingan popping up when he goes to protect Naruto? Fuck yes.
Sakura stumbling backward and accidentally decimating trees bc Ino winked at her? Gimme.
Kaminari short circuiting and blowing the breaker in the dorm building because Bakugou said he āwas actually kinda cuteā ? Fucking love it.
Iida accelerating straight into a wall because Sero winked at him? God tier.
Just give me these children being awkward and flustered. Give me these children being CHILDREN WITH CRUSHES. because you know that at 12. No one is smooth. No one can escape the awkward tween years. No one.
No, but like,
Can we talk about this scene?
THIS DIDNāT HAPPEN IN THE MANGA!!!!
Kaneki stayed with his mask until the end of his fight with Amon in the manga. Now, in the anime, kaneki took off his mask, and youāre not supposed to do that, ever. This shows the amount of trust kaneki has for Amon.
AND NOW HIS ASKING FOR HIS NAME
The thing with this shot, is that itās done perfectly, itās really clever. Kaneki looking up to meet Amonās eyes (As if, accepting that he just showed his identity to a CCG, a complete stranger) asking for Amonās name so formally, and the smoke covering only his ghoul side so he can only look at his human side makes it all the more difficult for Amon to doubt him.
What I really liked about this one, is that, in the manga, Amon is downrightĀ rude to kaneki when talking to him. He said something likeĀ āDonāt fuck with me you ghoul bastardā In the anime, Amon, without hesitation said his name.
AND THEN (sorry I donāt have a gif for this one) kaneki looks down, the smoke covering his mouth, and Amon TWITCHES, I know this may sound really exaggerated, but, Amon kinda likes, observes kaneki at that part, as if he did something for Amon to pay closer attention or something. (maybe kaneki smiled?)
AND LATER ON, Kaneki and Amon fight, with kanekiās hair covering his eyes (maybe because heās ashamed of himself?). 100% knowing about their āenemyā, Kaneki saying that he doesnāt want to fight Amon, and Amon just wanting to talk to the poor guy, wishing they had met some other way.
Fictional characters might not be real, but our relationships with them are.Ā
Studies show itās difficult for our brains to distinguish between our familiarity with characters on TV and our personal relationships with real people. The effect is so strong that just thinking about watching your favorite TV show can make you feel less lonely.Ā

I was looking through my texts w/ some of my friends and found this gem.... who can relate?
Red velvet cupcake: why do you like Gray Fullbuster so much? All he does is strip and make ice sculptures lol
Gray Fullbuster. Love of my life. The only anime/manga dude I fell for the first time I saw him until now. Like, I know there are other good looking anime dudes out there but seriously, the resident Ice Mage from Fairy Tail still has my heart.Ā
Here are the reasons why:
1. Heās probably one of the most normal members from Fairy TailOkay he does strip from time to time (but come on, it was part of his training with Ur), but if you overlook that, heās one of the sane people in their guild (like hello, even their Master Makarov can be wack at times lol)
Heās also a kind af guy, in general. He may not look it, Gray is a gentleman, is pretty sensitive to emotions (especially to his closest friends), and knows how to swallow his pride and freaking apologize.Ā
2. Heās so coolLiterally and figuratively. If heās not fighting with Natsu or anyone in the guild, he just radiates c a l m.Ā
Also, unlike Natsu who speaks his mind out, Gray is relatively laidback, reserved, and thinks first before he acts. And me likey *swoon*
3. Fashion sense on point
Yo, have you seen him when heās got clothes on? The manās got style, letās be real here
4. Character Development MVP
If thereās one character in Fairy Tail who had the best character development, Iāll give the trophy to Gray. He went from someone willing to sacrifice himself just to end the ghosts of his past that were haunting him (poor man was so caught up in his past that his guilt messed him up), to someone who now looks into the future, values his life, and never gives up for his friends and family aka the guild.Ā
5. The way he babies Lucy and Wendy
JUST LOOK AT HIM
AND LOOK AT HIM DANCING WITH WENDY SKSKSKSKSKS
6. His beautifulĀ ice-make magic
His weapons are honestly beautiful and aesthetic. And theyāre made of ice too, so the pretty factor just went up to 100.Ā
Also when he upgraded from Ice Make Wizard to Ice Demon Slayer? GIIIIIIIIRRRRRRLLLLĀ
7. Sometimes a dork
The way he called Frosch cute sksksksksksksks tell me that is adorable or I will throw hands (lol jk)
8. (BONUS) Heās also hot when heās mad
Nuff said.
ugh wreak me, Daddy sksksksks
Send me dessert asks!
Okay so I may have spent the greater part of the day thinking about this instead of studying but like image:
The Skywalker twins are born earlier in the war & despite the fact that they are all deeply involved in the war Padme + Anakin + Obi Wan (because lets be real heās parent #3) decide they are going to use paid babysitters as little as possible and have the twins with them as much as possible.
It becomes quickly (and semi-reluctantly) accepted by everyone that Padme and Obi Wan will have a twin or two swaddled against their chests during meetings.
Padme debates policies on the Senate floor with Luke asleep in a sling.
Obi Wan helps organize troop movements with Leia held in one arm, the other hand and just a touch of the Force to keep her entertained.
Anakin quickly masters the art of moving around ships to repair/enhance withĀ Leia strapped to his chest and Luke his back.
It becomes a common sight to see Ahsoka walking through the halls of the Jedi Temple or the Senate Building with one of the children taking them to one of their parents because āObi Wan was helping teach the younglings and they got fussyā or āAnakin and I have been sent on an impromptu mission and heās finishing preparationsā.
R2-D2 learns that if you rock the carrier they are in the human infants will stop its screeching.
Half the clones have at some point one of them unceremoniously shoved into their hands with the order of ākeep them safe and get them out of hereā because a situation has suddenly and unexpectedly erupted into violence and their parent/s are about to run into the fray.
Bail Organa has a small supply of baby toys/a spare set of clothes in his office for occasions where something has come up and Padme needs to go NOW and āwould you mind? Just until Obi Wan can get here from the temple?ā
There are even times where Mace ends up with one of them in his custody. He spends the time informing them of all the traits of their parents they are not to inherit, starting with āhaving children with Senators in the middle of a warā
I think I could go on forever but just the Skywalker twins ending up with like 100 unintentional non-blood aunt/uncles because there is a war going on & their parents are determined to use as little hired help as possible (so instead all their friends end up being roped into it)
