All Of The Vegapunks Speak Quite Distinctly, And From What I’ve Seen, They All Use Different Personal

all of the vegapunks speak quite distinctly, and from what i’ve seen, they all use different personal pronouns with different levels of formality! going in order from what we’ve seen so far:

1: shaka speaks quite formally (for a man, which i’m loosely assuming he is)- he uses watashi as his personal pronoun, which places him in a neutral/formal spot, and uses kimi to address the strawhats (which is somewhat diminuitive/maybe a little condescending) but omae to address dragon (conclusion: ???).

2: lilith speaks like a stereotypical old man- she uses washi as her personal pronoun and the masculine omae as her ‘you’ pronoun, and tends to use ja as her sentence-ending copula instead of da.

3: edison speaks kansai-ben (though i don’t know enough to say if it’s a specific subdialect)- he self-references with wai, which is a dialectal variant of the washi pronoun that lilith uses, and ends his sentences with ya in place of the regular da.

4: pythagoras is, from what we’ve seen so far, the most polite of the satellites- he’s the only one to consistently use polite verb forms.

5: atlas speaks probably the most aggressively, which suits her general demeanor but is very incongruous with her actual appearance- she uses the masculine ore for her first-person pronoun and omae for ‘you.’

6: haven’t really seen york speak yet besides, like, noises.

Ugly Outfits Tournament - Round 3 Side B

Propaganda under the cut.

Celestial Dragons: Oda did a good job of making the celestial dragon designs look overworldly and "fancy," but at the same time so unflattering and completely ugly lol. it simply accentuates all the wrong places and makes whoever wears it look like a weird overdesigned bowling pin.

Kanjuro: truly the most eye blasting color palette imaginable. he hurts my eyes.

recently introduced my american mother to the league of gentlemen. here are my gatherings:

- she does not believe that bernice is played by reece (this stems into her love for the makeup artists as she believes they did “very well at hiding reece particularly”)

- she is scared of edward and tubbs (in fact they are the main reason she never originally watched)

- i think her favourite plot line is the jobseekers ?? but tbh she does like all of them for the most part

- “what on earth were they on when writing series 2 and 3??”

- “who on earth comes up with the idea of a wife mine??”

- “i think it’s crazy that reece seems so normal in real life but can portray these characters so well, and especially so fluidly in the live shows.” this pairs up with her comment of “i think shearsmith is the worst [referring to the writing and partaking in good warped and creepy plot lines] of all of them”

- she really likes pop. she said it reminds her of her landlord from when she lived in nyc

- i think her favourite season was s2, she was very fixated on the nose bleeds and we watched the whole season in one night because she needed to know what was going on

- she doesn’t like geoff, mike, and brian very much, but did laugh at the “i won the mums” bit in live again

showing her the movie next !! we watched it all a bit out of order, but tbf the movie doesn’t exactly affect canon so it’s fine
