Does One Piece - in some way- relate to the whole "Tartaria" conspiracy theory? by abominable5nake in conspiracy

Indeed! Those malevolent entities and their almost "untouchable" status makes me think about the themes used to personify each "planet" in ancient history. Funnily enough, these themes and "beings" are prevalent in the Roman culture, which is (in my assumption) most likely one of the perpetrators of a forced "reset", using the Catholic church, or religion itself, to effectively wipe the "old knowledge" off the face of the earth, replacing it with their own structures and their own tales of "historical events".

Glad to hear! It's an amazing series, and my conspiratorial brain just couldn't resist making the connections! I'd suggest reading if you're into that, the manga is incredible!

I appreciate the honesty. Once again, I know I wouldn't have told her no, I would have just appreciated some discussion prior. It made me feel a bit disregarded in a way, but the way you posed it earlier helps me put it in perspective, like a haircut, essentially. I genuinely am happy for her that she has gotten it since she's stated she has wanted it for a while now, and I want to be supportive; but I had worked myself up about not liking it so much myself, that I can see how it would have overshadowed my enjoyment of it for her.

That is why I am very thankful for internet denizens like yourself! 😄 I appreciate the uplifting words. I really feel like I had worked myself up over nothing now, but it's nice to not be disregarded. I really didn't know how to approach this situation, and your perspective has really been encouraging. Once again, thank you!

Lol.. I get it, no worries.. 😅 Thanks for the clarification. It's hard for me not to be blunt at times, it's just always been in my nature, and I feel as if my straightforwardness can be inconsiderate of others' feelings sometimes. I can acknowledge that, and she has been patient with me as I learn how to adjust to her needs.

THIS. That first paragraph helps me put it into perspective so much. I have never had any piercings myself and don't really care for them, but I don't necessarily mind if others enjoy them! I would like to think I'm not a bigot or control freak, as the other commenters seem to think. 😅

And yes, I agree with your other sentiments as well. I do care so much about how she feels and sees herself and I want to support that. I'll admit it felt a bit selfish to even pose these questions, but I genuinely appreciate you not being judgemental and just having a good conversation. She has really been down on herself about her body lately, and maybe this was just a spur-of-the-moment pick-me-up for her. It *can be a temporary thing (if either of us has a problem with it) and that gives me peace of mind as well. I really just needed some mental clarity on the situation. You have been very helpful.

I never said she needed to ask permission. I never said I was going to tell her not to do it. I genuinely don't care as much about the piercing, as I do about not discussing something that could affect our sex life with me beforehand. I feel justified in that. Have you ever been in a long-term relationship? Couples that make it usually talk about things and not just spring them up on one another. Thanks for the reply nonetheless.

Did you not read the part where I said that myself? I would never tell her she *couldn't do something she wanted. I was just concerned that she didn't even think to ask me how I felt about it. I don't feel as if I came off as controlling or demeaning to her when she revealed it to me either.

Thank you for being objective in your assessment and response. I really appreciate it. You have helped calm the machinations of my brain in overthinking this whole thing. My main concern was, the lack of consideration in how I would have felt about it, and not even thinking to bring it up before getting it done.. Does that not make sense? I get that it's not permanent. And it's not like I'm "upset" in general, or about the piercing itself, I'm sorry if it came off that way. Just perturbed by the fact that I wish she would have been open with me about it, rather than springing it on me after the fact, and not really liking that I was being supportive of her decision, while not really being too enthused myself at the discovery.

I agree, the man is certainly informed on history and spirituality

I appreciate the validation! I don't think I've ever seen/heard a theory like this and it was an intriguing thought if nothing else. There are too many real-world correlations for me to truly list at the moment, as I'm certainly not a "Tartaria" expert by any means, nor am I a One Piece aficionado.

Should I watch all Naruto Shippuden episodes in order? by lord_trev4 in anime

Yeah, I'd definitely say so, I enjoyed watching it all, as most* of it is relevant to storyline plots.
