it's possible to live

another fun fact: it CAN and WILL fuck up your electrical grid and cause a fire XD

I also have an etsy but because of aforementioned convention I will be out of the country so it's closed for the time being; you can DM me if you want to place an order directly♡ check my instagram for an up-to-date catalogue & prices; shipping is 3.50€ for flat items i.e. stickers, prints, temporary tattoos (doesnt matter how many you get), and 5-12€ for everything else i.e. charms, can badges, etc depending on where you live!

people are literally chomping at the bit to say indians are the reason their wages are falling and their life is getting worse because indians are ready to work for less money or some shit. it's actually very disturbing

I need Marco hearing how Ace is so polite and nothing like Luffy and remembering a time when Ace bit somebody for looking at him funny and immediately turned around to go back to eating spaghetti with his bare hands. Sabo hears Vivi mention how Ace said shit like ‘I wouldn’t want to impose’ and washing dishes without being asked and thinks of Ace throwing a deer carcass at Dadan while tracking mud through the door going ‘better get to cooking!’. Deuce and Jinbei hearing how Ace is so respectful and remembering Ace yelling screw you old fart at Whitebeard.

with this being the only on-page interaction ace had with the strawhats, oda never wrote about their grievances because they hardly knew him. what vivi and the others only remember is that he was more polite than their captain, otherwise they're very cut off from deuce/marco to even talk about him. the only one on the crew who can confidently speak on ace is well, jinbei. still, oda really never took the time to flesh out ace, apart from the asl flashback, in the manga. this writing decision impacted his interactions with other characters.

Like yeah, the Strawhats didn’t really know Ace, and they never will. Because killing him off means even the way he’s remembered and talked about is distorted with grief and respectful remembrance. And it’s nice that they think fondly of him, but it makes me sad because that’s not all Ace was.

well yes, you're absolutely true in this statement. oda did indeed dropped the ball with ace hard.

Portrait of Judith Lieb, 1969 by the artist Christo

The Roman goddess Vesta, whose Greek equivalent Hestia, is commonly known to have dominion over the hearth, home, and the preparation and cooking of family meals. However, she also has domain over the cooking of the communal feast of sacrificial meat because she was responsible for the alter’s flame. Since every sacrifice is offered through that flame, she receives the first portion before the other Olympians. Just as Hestia receives the first share of sacrifice because she has domain over the flame of the alter, Agni likewise is invoked first and receives offerings before conveying them to the other gods. Agni is also the god of fire, his domain extends to be lightening, the sun, sacrificial, cooking and the digestive fire that helps breaks down food into nutrients while removing the toxins, providing fuel and energy to the overall body. From this comparison, a not so acknowledged characteristic of Krittika is their ability to provide warmth to those around them, while also being a transformative force in the life of others.
