speaking of hedging, one criticism i always hate that's often levelled against people doing media criticism or analysis is variations on "oh they think all their opinions are correct" yeah i'd hope so--don't understand why someone would hold an opinion they think is wrong! i hate the culture of endlessly qualifying everything you say to mollify an interlocutor who feels like your strongly held opinion is an imposition on their free will and i think nobody ought to bend to it. make your criticisms and points with your fucking chest. if you think you need my permission to disagree with me then you will die my thrall and be buried in my tomb

One of the characteristic of the Moon is being lustful. Moon is associated with manas, the sensing mind that is receptive in nature. Manas receives information through our sensory organs, which influences our perception, reactions and emotions. Mercury, which is associated with Buddhi helps in making decisions using the intellect for the information received through manas. Buddhi is the driver according to Katha Upanishad, while manas is the driving instrument that’s attached to the senses. When Buddhi doesn’t have a tight control on the driving instrument, manas can be “driven” by the senses, sensory organs (sensory pleasures). Things that excite the senses would be sought after without second-thought.
Think about how Chandra had a total of 27 wives and still pursued the wife of Brihaspati, Tara. Through this union, Buddha, Mercury is born.

Yesterday, I almost lost my mother 😔💔
I don’t know how many more times I can come here and ask for help. Every post I write comes with tears, because my mother’s life is all I can think about.
Yesterday, her condition became much worse , I can’t stop replaying those terrifying moments in my mind. Standing beside her hospital bed, watching her struggle, feeling completely powerless… it’s a pain I can’t put into words. The doctors told us she urgently needs this heart procedure, but we’re still waiting because we don’t have the money.😔
We’re only $600 away from the urgent heart procedure she needs. Such a small number to some people, yet for us it feels like the distance between hope and despair.💔
If your mother were the one in that hospital bed, you wouldn’t stop fighting for her not for a second. That’s exactly what I’m doing now.💔😔
If you’re reading this, please don’t close this post and move on. Be the reason I can finally look my mother in the eyes and tell her, “Mom, we’re going to make it.”
Please… don’t be another person who says, “Someone else will donate.” You could be the reason we reach our goal today. You could be the reason my mother gets the chance to receive the treatment she urgently needs. Even the smallest donation could change everything for us.
Please help us reach the last $600. Every donation brings me one step closer to saying those words to her. 💔🙏

I’ve talked before on this blog about how the Strawhats sometimes use ウチ/uchi as a plural possessive way of referring to each other as members of their family/crew, right? Because uchi means like home/household/family.
Whitebeard uses it to refer to his crew, too.

this short flashback during marineford was very significant, for character analysis, that i frequently go back to it. let me revise what i picked up.
for starters, ace violently lashing out against those bad mouthing his father really is the distinguishing trait the author stamped on him since childhood. quite poignant how this aggressive defensiveness was a fatal blow of a genetic inheritance.
also, indeed sad seeing a poor orphan, after discovering his parentage thru undisclosed means, going around asking thugs from the nearby rich city about his famous father.
most likely his method of seeking approval. ace has always been a people's person in many ways but it's a sure way for "loss of innocence" as well. this lonely child's impressionability of others' opinion on his late father ended up marring his own self-perception and psyche. i wonder what his initial thoughts on roger were before his mind got poisoned by strangers' venom?
Next, let me pull up the raws to show what oda actually wrote on page for this one. notice how he knew about luffy even before meeting him?
(it's so pitiful reading this lonely kid ask an old man "is your grandson happy? unlike me")
Ace stating "なれば.... 生まれてきてもよかったのかな..." with bolden emphasis. now what intrigues me is the lone use of the 生 kanji instead of 命. it means life but at it's core biological aspect, something "raw and fresh". so you write it to convey a person's literal vitality. here, oda tries to reflect ace's defeated emptiness, not genuine curiosity.
and here's the controversial response "そりやなめエ... 生きてみりゃれかる" by Garp. he answers in shock to the young boy's bewildering question with a loaded expression "that's pretty bold/that's too much... try to live and see (for yourself)". i do find it odd how VIZ opted for another phrase which ended up looking too callous from the old man 😭
