heyo spaghettio i don't know what i’m doing so lets get started🌻they/them🌻bi🌻will never shut up about the fandoms i’m in🌻

I hate the sound of babies crying, but I can't hate a baby. They've been here for like five minutes and approach this situation with an unhesitant attitude of "my needs are unmet and I am going to make it everybody's problem", and I respect that.

Something I read years ago and completely agree with, is that human babies are pretty helpless compared to many other species. We can't walk or run within hours of being born, as many mammals can. We don't have teeth yet, to defend ourselves. We can't get our own food for a long time.

But one thing human babies are really good at - often within seconds of being born - is asking for help.

As we mature and gain new skills - vocabulary both verbal and written, gestures, facial expressions, and so forth - the way we ask for help changes. But babies have just one way of asking for help - filling their lungs with air and wailing. And they're right to do so! Their needs are unmet and they cannot do a damn thing about it except request assistance.

There's plenty of adults who could stand to take some pointers.

We've lost a lot to the onslaught of enshittification but I can think of none more brazen than Discord getting rid of the send button

Oh, you've typed a message? You've typed a message? Would you like to add a sticker (server stickers available with Nitro Boosts(TM).) Would you like to add an emoji (more custom emojis available with Nitro(TM).) Would you like to send a gift (gift your friend Nitro(TM) for only $9.99 a month.) Would you like to add an app (more apps available in the Nitro Store(TM).)

They got rid of the send message button. On the send messages to my friends app. In order to make room for a 5th button that sells you something. The parody is too bold people will roll their eyes you have to scale it back.

being a hater and being a troll are different but idk how to articulate the difference

Trolling inherently involves another person. A troll is trying to waste your time and/or generate a reaction. It is entirely cynical.

Hating can be done in private, even monasticslly. But hating at a person is an invitation to banter. The goal is to hit that perfect funny/cutting/true sweet spot, and it's fun if the target of your hating can return with an equally funny/cutting/true comeback.

The comments

Not to keep harping on Sanji and fashion, but I really need everyone to understand that the reason why Sanji wears a suit is because he grew up in a restaurant with a dress code. The suit is part of his identity as a chef.

Once he joins the strawhats I’m certain he started to see wearing a suit as part of his image as “the chef of the strawhats.” It’s like a uniform bc that’s literally what it is when you work in a restaurant.

The base for his character is “dude who worked at an upscale restaurant but is a pirate, and didn’t change out of the suit.”

All the time Sanji is dressed down or “off the clock” he dresses like the most normal man on earth or a traumatic brain injury caused him to forget what the concept of “style” is.

These are just from the color walks I own (1-5) but I think it’s interesting how the extra content shows a lot about his personality. Sanji seems to really love bold colors and patterns. Even when he’s dressed in his suit he really loves a gaudy patterned dress shirt.

I think it’s a lot more fun to imagine sanji as a guy who may not know a lot about fashion, but has a love for bold colors and patterns, and has the confidence to wear them.

Imo hcing as Sanji very looks oriented makes him like a lot of other anime men who wear suits. There are plenty of pretty boy anime guys who cry when they have a hair out of place, or scoff at the idea of wearing plain clothes. Sanji is a fun loving guy just like Luffy is, and likes to goof off with the other guys, and I think his clothes really reflect how goofy of a character he is. And it adds to the charm that he has.

(Also I had more examples and didn’t even get to include looks from the movies bc of tumblr’s image limit, but trust there are many many more photos out there of Sanji in the ugliest fit possible)
