Potatoes! 🥔

I submit to you that the most iconic feature of any animal is either unlikely or impossible to fossilize.

If all we had of wolves were their bones we would never guess that they howl.

If all we had of elephants were fossils with no living related species, we might infer some kind of proboscis but we'd never come up with those ears.

If all we had of chickens were bones, we wouldn't know about their combs and wattles, or that roosters crow.

We wouldn't know that lions have manes, or that zebras have stripes, or that peacocks have trains, that howler monkeys yell, that cats purr, that deer shed the velvet from their antlers, that caterpillars become butterflies, that spiders make webs, that chickadees say their name, that Canada geese are assholes, that orangutans are ginger, that dolphins echolocate, or that squid even existed.

My point here is that we don't know anything about dinosaurs. If we saw one we would not recognize it. As my evidence I submit the above, along with the fact that it took us two centuries to realize they'd been all around us the whole time.

Don’t Think of the Blue Eyed Ghost

Don’t think of the Mother’s mind 

Rotting to Brine 

As the little shoes,

Dusty from Time

No longer smelling of sweet Lime,

As her family burns thyme

Don’t Think of the daughter

Who has  always Loved Her Father,

With dry tears 

As  her destiny leered 

Don’t think of the middle child, 

Who’s rage never burns mild, 

With a heart cold and wild, 

And who has seen more than vile

Don’t think of the youngest

Who’s eyes shine the Loveliest 

With scars over all his heart,

Who has once fallen apart

Don’t think of the Father, 

That went Farther

And guilt haunted him,

And choked on him to the brim,

Don’t think of the Blue-eyed Ghost,

Taking over a Black-haired Host,

With Smiles as Sharp as Wires, 

Wrath as harping as Fire

absolutely obsessed with cross guild implications

mihawk now has to put up with buggy. this is pure comedy, every second of it. shanks would love it so much. he wants to be invited to the party I bet

crocodile and mr 3 probably have the most awkward working relationship known to man. like crocodile tried to kill him remember. and then he decided to follow this random ass clown pirate instead. now that clown pirate is an emperor. but still a fucking loser. and crocodile is ALSO working for him. what a beautiful mess.

I bet crocodile is trying to use buggy for his own gain somehow but I’ll bet anything that he ends up doing nothing but helping buggy succeed even further. buggy unintentionally ruins all of croc’s evil plans while croc unintentionally pushes buggy into a kind of success he definitely didn’t plan for at all. crocodile is gonna be so fucking mad about it I just know it and it’s gonna be amazing to watch

if law is convinced, even for a small moment, that buggy is the real deal, almost everyone will. very likely all of the supernovas. more importantly, possibly also blackbeard. watch him miscalculate something in his evil plan because he foolishly thinks another yonkou might pose a challenge to him

one day zoro is gonna challenge mihawk for a very serious duel about the title of the greatest swordsman in the world, but before that he’s gonna have to ask “so why do you work for the clown luffy could beat up before we even ran into you at baratie” and even worse, mihawk will have to answer that

The Map of the Multi-Plane, glimpsed briefly in Episode 9. Designed by the incredible Hugo L Cuellar

So far our characters have only visited Plane 7 (Earth) and Plane 10 (Necropolis) but we have caught glimpses of a couple of other if you're truly eagle-eyed.

This just make me feel bad for some reason

Kai: Do you care if I take the skin off this Furby?

Kai: I want to make him a god. Once he is free of his sinful flesh, he can begin a path towards enlightenment. He will take care of us.

Kai: I also want to softhack his circuits. 

Adam: I literally could not care less but never say anything as frightening as that ever again.

the canonical parents in this series are literally the weirdest candidates for the title bc we have:

yaga: notorious hardass principal of a magic school that trains child soldiers and whose kids are all sentient puppets. a pretty decent dad overall tho, 8.5/10.

getou: genocidal cult leader who’s been in a progressively worsening downward spiral since he was 17. a surprisingly decent dad, 6/10 because the bar is so fucking low that encouraging homicide and being practically idolized by your family is nowhere near the sketchiest shit a parent in this series has done and his kids actually like him.

zen’in clan: powerful clan who’s also abusive, misogynistic, and old-fashioned with a side dish of alcoholism and a propensity for trying to kill their kids. 0/10, and the only reason it’s not lower is because the twins’ mom stabbed naoya and secretly liked them i guess.

touji: assassin-for-hire with a gambling habit and very low regard for almost everyone other than himself with, like, one and a half exceptions. 2/10 because he made a bare minimum effort to keep his son alive, but was also neglectful, completely disregarded his daughter’s existence, and almost sold his son to one direction.

kenjaku: ancient body-snatcher who has had multiple infamous incarnations and is implied to have done some incredibly disturbing shit to their partners and kids for the sake of experimentation and their grand plan. -10000/10, i don’t think you can possibly get worse

kamo clan: powerful clan #2 who’s also neglectful, misogynistic, probably abusive, and old-fashioned. hey, by the way, why would you name a kid after one of the worst sorcerers to have ever lived, what’s wrong with you? 0/10 because i don’t think they actively tried to kill their heir.

kamo’s mom: seemed pretty alright and actually cares about her kid. he seems to like her a lot. 8/10.

gojou: world’s most powerful sorcerer and one of Japan’s Top 10 Worst Personalities but actually cares about kids and has a pretty decent track record of keeping them alive, even if most of them don’t like him very much. 8/10.

Do you like poems?

yes! my favorites are The Tiger and the unnamed werewolf fridge poem

No offence, but Alan Turing didn't kick the Nazis' collective ass for you to run around saying that you're too gay to learn mathematics.
