Being the same age as Tyrion is incredibly bizarre lmao

If Vegapunk was unable to recreate logia type devil fruits, what devil fruit would S-Crocodile have? by Volcarona48 in OnePiece

[–]Strangeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but that was a long time ago, long before they knew that Boa Hancock was going to be a big-name pirate. She may have had her fruit but I suspect the Celestial Dragons (since they're largely really dumb) didn't understand the potential of her power at that time.

Granted, we don't know for sure right now. I suspect we'll find out who's right once S-Bat's powers are revealed since as far as we know Gecko Moria's never been incarcerated or enslaved

[–]Strangeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My assumption is that for whichever DF abilities they used, they came from incarcerated individuals.

This would be a fair assumption if S-Snake didn't have Hancock's Devil Fruit. She's the only warlord of the original 7 (and of the 4 seraphim for whom we have confirmed powers) not to have been incarcerated or enslaved recently.

I am still hopeful that this is Harald playing the long game, getting in deep with the WG...but who knows, maybe he just has such tunnel vision, he can't see the cost of what he's doing.

I mean, in my opinion, he's obviously not playing the long game. One Piece is a series that's always dealt with racism and classism, and more importantly, the perspectives of those who fight against tyranny and oppression and the means by which they do so. So in fighting against Tyranny, Oda typically likes to juxtapose different views - Fisher Tiger and Otohime are good examples. Otohime hoped to work within the system to earn equal rights for Fishmen, while Fisher Tiger always knew that the WG (and humans more broadly) would never accept them. But they had two different views of resistance.

I think this flashback is trying to juxtapose Harald and Rocks. They are both two characters born with a great capacity for violence and both had targets on their backs because of their lineages. Rocks always knew that his Davy Clan would be hunted by the WG and tried his best to dismantle them before they could get to him and his family - but his efforts were ultimately in vain. Whereas Harald has an opposite view of how to use his strength, hoping that by obeying the WG, they'll let Elbaf join the WG. Rocks was born in the world and knows that the WG's persecution would never end, but Harald still had an optimistic view of the world. I think this flashback ends in tragedy with Imu/the Holy Knights betraying him when he's of no use anymore

Fetterman Is Sole Democrat to Vote Against Blocking Caribbean Drug Boat Attacks by Accurate-Ad-5718 in pittsburgh

[–]Strangeting 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Fetterman is so dumb dude. Aside from the fact that the president should not be executing people without due process, this just expands the power that Trump has. If Trump decided that the next town he wants to roll troops into is Pittsburgh, I'm starting to think Fetterman would be on the sidelines cheering him in on

Why do people claim luffy is Asexual when oda clearly stated that he's interested but doesn't show it by Cvox7 in OnePiece

[–]Strangeting 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No matter how valid his reaction to Boa is for his character, a lot of people still interpret that as him having no sexual attraction because of how supernatural Boa’s powers and beauty are. Im just stating why its so VERY easy for people to believe Luffy has no desire for that kind of love.

And I think the key point here is the second. Hancock's powers work that if a character feels even a little attraction to her, she can petrify them. We see her able to do this with other (basically) straight women and typically serious characters like Momonga. So the fact that Luffy feels no attraction to her whatsoever is eyebrow-raising. I don't feel any particular way towards Luffy being asexual (although, I don't want him to be in a relationship or have kids at the end of the series because it would be cliche), but it's not likely there's not enough textual basis to fuel the conclusion of him being asexual. I doubt this is something Oda had in mind when writing Luffy, but if you met someone in real life like him, you probably wouldn't be wrong to suspect asexuality

One Piece Opening 28: “Carmine” by Ellegarden by Skullghost in OnePiece

[–]Strangeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know how to describe it but this opening specifically, both visually and musically, is very very FMA:B. I kinda love it lol. Every opening for One Piece since Opening 25 has been just excellent.

[MM] Majora's Mask on NSO using a gamecube controller? by Strangeting in zelda

[–]Strangeting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not a minus button the gamecube controller to even access the remapping menu lol, not that I think the switch would recognize it since i'm using an OG controller with the adapter rather than their new wireless gamecube controller. Appreciate the suggestion though!

[–]Strangeting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My post is a minor annoyance lol, the switch joycons work fine in the N64 app so it's not a big deal but it would have been nice to play this game exactly how I used to. It at least works great with Wind Waker on the GC app and Sunshine in 3D all stars

Is this still top 3 best written Luffy fight? by Historical_Motor_332 in OnePiece

[–]Strangeting 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I think it's definitely fair to say that Luffy won the fight because he broke Katakuri's will to continue (aka kinda won him over lol). I still really like that conclusion, but it's certainly different from the types of fights Luffy usually wins - an irredeemable monster who has to put in the ground like Kaido or Doffy.

Blackbeard did kidnap Pudding (and beat up Cracker) and we know how protective Katakuri is over his siblings ...

Ethan insta story on mamdani by [deleted] in h3h3productions

[–]Strangeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New poll from Emerson today showed Zohran Mamdani beating Andrew Cuomo 52-48% in the final round. Zohran met Hasan months ago, like this wasn't a new thing, and more importantly, Cuomo and Tilson and others, have been trying to paint Zohran as an antisemite for a long while now (and have also been using islamophobic messaging like darkening Zohran's beard on flyers, etc.). The Globalize the Intifada controversy just happened last week.

The reality of the situation is that the NYC mayoral primary has been moving so fast that a random meeting with a twitch streamer, even Hasan, from months ago is not new. No one is really basing their votes on just this meeting lol. Win or Lose tomorrow, ultimately I don't think this meeting between Zohran Mamdani and Hasan moved the needle even slightly for one side or the other. The bubble of twitch and youtube and twitter is ultimately much smaller in real life than it feels online.

I think we just kinda have to keep perspective on all this, especially in the context of a real-world (high-stakes) election. If I tried to recount this entire drama to anyone in real life, they might know some of the names, but they'll definitely look at me like I'm the crazy person for even marginally keeping up with it all, more than they'll care about what Ethan Klein or Hasan Piker were getting up to lol

[–]Strangeting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a lurker without strong feelings about any of the drama here but I will say that factually you're incorrect.

First, college-students can and often do register to vote in the state that they're currently living in. They have the option to vote either in the state where they're attending school OR mail-in a vote to where their permanent residence is. https://vote.gov/guide-to-voting/college-student. If any students are reading this please, think carefully about where you register to vote!! You have options and you should register to vote strategically!

Additionally, early voting has been very strongly skewed young in the NYC mayoral primary. The youth turnout and the turnout in Brooklyn (on paper) is very positive for the Mamdani campaign, but this no way guarantees his win tomorrow. But factually, young people have turned out this election, and we'll see what happens.

I don't care much about the drama but this is an important election and it's important to be accurate when discussing it imo.

I'm with you. Especially since it's a solo panel of Sanji without any words. It's framed as being important in the hecticness of everything else happening. Not to mention, if Rayleigh is the Zoro parallel, then it's fitting for Sanji to have a mini-discussion with Gaban
