Piping hot take: I don’t give a shit if straight actors play queer characters as long as they do so with empathy and authenticity. When you say shit like “only queer actors should play queer characters” what you’re actually saying is only OUT queer actors should play queer characters. If you’re assuming an actor (or anyone else, for that matter) who hasn’t declared their sexuality is straight, you are participating in heteronormativity.
when it’s really bad again and it’s still way better than it used to be but it’s still really bad. and you do all the right stuff and you try and try and it still really hurts but it’s working but it still hurts and you go see the beautiful majesty of nature and your soul is so close to being at peace but your mind is still in pain. and it’s better but it’s still bad. and the sun is setting.
forever on the “no but oda is a zolu shipper to some level” train. because what do you mean we could have had another zolu color spread? what do you mean when he draws luffy, his first instinct is to draw zoro right next to him? what do you mean he makes sure they match, that yeah zoro is seen as a big shot like luffy, that he gets conqueror haki like luffy and bim, matching face scars and chest scars for our duo, what do you mean they’re supposed to represent the sun and the moon? what. do. you. mean??????
the luffy x zoro wano reunion will never got old because what do you mean luffy catches a glint of green in distance, gasps & blushes, and throws himself threw the air into the arms of his swordsman while they talk over each other about how long it’s been (two weeks but they’re dramatic) since they’ve been together?
not to mention how long zoro holds luffy in his arms having a casual conversation before luffy gets distracted by the smell of meat
