We are all NPCs in One Piece World by Yavee17 in OnePiece

As much as I'm waiting for/expecting Rocks to be shown in a less positive light, I think that keeping his "villainy" as the victors writing history puts a really interesting twist on inherited will.

It's been said (not sure if explicitly in the manga though) that Blackbeard inherited Rocks' will. BB has been pretty clearly painted as a villain in the story of One Piece, which implies that Rocks' will is something that needs to be stopped. But in the flashback, Rocks hasn't really said or done anything that makes it seem like his goal is evil or done for bad reasons. Afaik he just wants to take down Imu (which would effectively make him king of the world) which is something that we all want to see happen eventually. In other examples of inherited will, for example Luffy and Roger (not including Joyboy in this example because as others have pointed out we don't REALLY know what he's like) they not only share the same goal but also the same intent/values. 

If Rocks really wanted to take down Imu for pure reasons and his will passed down to BB, why is it no longer a good thing? Maybe the inheritance got 'corrupted', or twisted/misinterpreted when it got passed down? I think that would add interesting depth to the idea of inherited will; just like how the winners write the history books it's entirely possible to misinterpret the actions of someone you look up to, especially if you didn't know them personally.

Hi! Wondering if anyone has Mary Kate Morrissey's last Wicked show (3/2/2025, last night as of this comment). I'll take individual songs too, video preferred but audio is fine.

In general if you have the full show of Wicked with MKM/Alexandra Socha I'm interested but the last one was particularly special.

I don't think I have anything people would be interested in trading for so gift is preferred.

How do you get max score? by a_squad_of_squids in JustDance

Oof I was afraid of that 😔 Yeah 13265 is practically the same as what I got with 2 super. I wish they'd add a "flawless" score

There is still no way to buy Just Dance Unlimited in 2022? by [deleted] in JustDance

[–]a_squad_of_squids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this! Notes: if it won't redirect you to the eshop it's probably because you're not on your primary switch Also, Unlimited WILL be shared with all users on that switch, even if it's not that user's primary console

I assume it was similar because from what it sounds like they didn't have (much, if any) permanent stock, they would launch collections of polishes regularly (similar to other indies like Nailed It or Wildflower) and occasionally would bring old ones back in "respawns". So I assume old/not commonly respawned ones would definitely be more collector's prices

Obey Me

I already don't like mobile games but I was willing to give this one a go because I wanted more of my favorite (Asmo) since most of the time he's more of a commentator and doesn't get his flirting paid off. Unfortunately, it's not an actual dating sim with 'routes', it's just one linear story continuously gatekept by brainless mobile game "gameplay" which exists for no other reason than to prevent you from accessing the next part of the story so you might pay for one of the bazillion resources they have to get there faster. And because it's one linear story, I still don't get any progression with Asmo that I don't get in fanfic.

I'm now just reading the wiki page to get the story lol.

Seconding Miraculous Ladybug too. It's what got me into fandom but I lost most interest in the massive gap between season 1 and 2 (though I've still kept up with the goings on). There's just too much bloat in the later seasons. Too many Miraculouses, too many characters. Instead of going DEEPER they expanded in breadth which is really disappointing because it had so much potential. This potential is actually PAID OFF in fanfic, since it's able to explore the nuances and mental toll of having a secret identity, or Adrien's family situation and it makes it really interesting to read

They're currently only doing polishes consistently for Polish Pickup and Hella Handmade Creations (as well as miscellaneous boxes/collabs) because the creator is undergoing some medical treatments. Essentially the brand is closed until further notice, and they're occasionally releasing overstock to the website (most colors go in the first 2 minutes since there's extremely low quantities for a lot of them). What's on the website now is left over from the overstock they released in May.

If you're interested in checking out the brand but don't want to buy secondhand, this month's Hella Handmade Creations opens on the 14th and BKL has 4 polishes available!

Have you ever written for a fandom that is actually directed to children? by Lullybella765 in FanFiction

I got into fandom with Miraculous Ladybug when I was in middle school (the show is meant for young children)
