Finally, a full team of plant girls

Favourite narrative tropes:

“That was ONE time!”

“Due to an administrative error”, or any major plot point which is caused almost entirely by bureaucratic fuckups

“Contrary to popular belief” appended to something that’s either really obvious or completely subjective

A character makes an assertion, then cut to the narrator contradicting it (‘“Everything’s fine!” Everything was not fine.’)

First-person narrators who call a specific character by a series of increasingly convoluted nicknames

Unusual narrative euphemisms. I still hold that describing around a curse word is almost always funnier than just using the word.

Establishing character moments which subvert your expectations right from the get-go. The best example is in the Brooklyn Nine Nine pilot, where Jake’s fooling around at the crime scene before revealing that he’s already solved the case.

Montages. Just montages of any kind, for any reason, anytime. I actually think they work better in text form because you can do so many creative things with them.

Side characters with a level of fourth-wall awareness / quasi-supernatural ability which is never quite certain, like the janitor in Scrubs.

Double meanings in narration that take a while to make themselves clear.

Really, really specific similes.

I joke a lot about one piece being bad but at it’s heart it is a story of love and freedom and revolution and it’s a pretty inexorable part of me.

what really surprised me is how tightly woven those threads are, even from the beginning. all the way back when alvida was the first villain, through the Big Punch-Em-Up Explosions that are happening in the new world, some (katakuri) better than others (doflamingo). the narrative sprawls and the individual arcs have shenanigans, and characterization can get kinda wobbly, but thematically (and maybe even meta plot-wise) it’s been solid since day one. and you can find fascinating comparisons between character arcs: robin and ace and their question about if they should have been born (can throw sanji in here too), nami and jimbei’s connections to fishmen, chopper and franky living up to dead father figures and embracing monstrosity in their humanity, luffy and everyone else–

it’s good. and it’s been good to think with. more important to me right now, it’s been good to hope with.

I’m so happy for them

I’d just like to say I am happy to be here with my family. My super weird family with two black dads, and two Latina daughters, and two white sons, and Gina.

I give up

nope. I’m done. bye.
