ugh I accidentally clicked a link after I finished writing my answer to this and lost it so now I gotta write it again. ANWAY I’m caught up with the manga so I know about Sasha. It stung and it sucked, but still at least her death was treated like it actually mattered and it’s had an actual impact on the characters around her who were close to her. As opposed to Ymir who just got tossed away off screen with barely a mention about it. So between the two, Ymir’s the one I’m more bitter about. 

fwips replied to your post “htrhsfaaerg I couldn’t remember what was going on with Ymir so I…”

i mean the author straight up glamorizes nazis and is a japan nationalist and just revealed all the evil Titans are ‘jews’ ect so yeah

oh no dont give me ANOTHER lance ship please

too late >:3c (lmao REALLY THO that was my SAME THOUGHT)

@pepplemint replied to your post “hmm… already thinking abt lance and kinkade tbh… just a couple of...”

Snipe this ASS

maybe he cant regrow ones cut off while he’s got sea stone on tho? or if its cut off by something made of sea stone

my sister threw a birthday party for her husband on halloween (since his bday is nov. 1st) and hired aerial performers to twist around and be sexy and all that, and honestly shance AU where shiro meets lance when he's performing at an event and becomes totally enraptured

@fwips omg that is Too Good, i’m definitely a sucker for that kind of thing!! shiro is trying to focus on the event, but he’s gay and distracted. lance notices him looking a few too many times and winks at him, RIP shiro... i could imagine that unfolding so many ways haha

its a common theme in shounen mangas (maybe japanese culture?? idk im not japanese so what do i know) that seems to have truly horrible people being completely forgiven just because they later show remorse and/or apologize. ((ie. sasuke being perfect example. bad guy, given every chance to be good, begged to be good, doesnt do good, eventually kind of does good? does more bad, but still gets constantly forgiven and given a reward of a happy peaceful life.)) i hate it  theres no way in hell i'd forgive people who did horrible things to me just because they say sorry, and im not entitled to, and there shouldnt be the lesson to others that you're obligated to forgive if someone says sorry

I think that in the US the “mandatory forgiveness” viewpoints tend to come from religious and spiritual people who think that everyone has to forgive everyone and let go for their own sake, while from manga I usually see this kind of stuff from manga and anime (usually shounen like you said, but also other kinds) with the attitude of “we’re friends (or family) and because of that we will always be friends/family no matter how much garbage stuff you do” which is... nice but again it gives people a free pass to hurt and treat people like garbage with absolutely no consequences (like Sasuke!). 

But yeah it’s the right of the person who was wronged to decide whether or not they forgive the other person. There isn’t a right or wrong decision there because each person gets to decide what is best for themselves. Unfortunately it doesn’t really seem like there is very much media representation that acknowledges this and presents the choice of “No, I don’t forgive you for what you did and I don’t think I ever will.” And with how much pro-forgiveness, media there is out there where people become families again or friendship saves the day or whatever it winds up making people feel like they can’t choose not to forgive someone because then they’re the bad person who is now hurting this reformed, good person by denying them their rightful forgiveness even through that’s not how it fucking works! 

yea ppl like to gloss over the whole 'i acknowledge he's being cast as 'the most kind hearted person', however, this new 'kind sanji' is quite literally putting his friends in horrible danger to save people he has literally never cared even slightly about, who tried to kill him, who would happily kill his friends/family, but yea sure save them i guess??? why not sure. like way to want to spare the lives of thousands of Really Fucking Bad Guys who WILL kill and hurt and main and destroy entire countries bcuz i guess you're a Nice Guy?? good lookin out, sanji

lol the asks and comments im getting after making a post venting abt his decisions and behavior in the updates are gross lol someone even defended sanji as being extremely kind and then said they hate Reiju??? okay.

that’s actually the exact reason I made that post! I saw your vent post, wholeheartedly agreed with it (”I know that my brothers literally just beat a woman almost to death just for shits and giggles like 12 hours ago but I need to save them from the consequences of their own decisions!” like fucking come on Oda stop that). But then I checked the notes and promptly saw a “Sanji is the most beautiful and kindhearted soul whose love and purity radiates out to illuminate the whole world” comment and promptly felt like throwing my laptop across the room.

no dont. don’t read the updates. don’t feel the pain. don’t tarnish the image of /him/ and his beautiful smile with what it is now that i AMMMMM JUST. SO. just don’t catch up and feel the pain i have to live with
