The family's hero, but at what cost?
the most epic slowburn to have ever slowburned...hak has been dealing with his onesided love for so long it's hard to get used to having it reciprocated. i love hakyona so much.
One of my favorite things about Hak is how he gaslights himself so hard when it comes to yonas feelings for him that he just cannot comprehend the reality of them. Like I’m pretty sure it could be April fools day, and they could be married and laying in bed next to each other, and Yona could say “yeah, you imagined all that, we’re not actually a thing.” And he would be like “Yeah that makes sense.” And then Yona would have a harder time convincing him that it was a joke than she did the actual joke. It’s really funny but also really sad at the same time…
Anyways, I love him
THIS IS SO CUTEEE AHHHHH
mitsumi found a friend!
i finished sabaody archipelago & amazon lily!
the beginning of sabaody was so much fun!! i thought the whole thing with sanji was hilarious. but once the straw hats found out what was happening on the archipelago, everything took a turn.
i do love how as the story gets more involved with the world of one piece that we see both the good AND the bad. people being kidnapped and sold on the archipelago while the government turns a blind eye, the celestial dragons torturing their slaves while no one is allowed to stand up to them, and the reality of being fishmen are all explored in this arc. i loved that the straw hats took a stand against the unfair treatment and fought against the celestial dragons!
the ending of the arc is one of the saddest moments in the whole series. luffy watching as each member of his crew disappear before his eyes while not being able to do anything was so painful. watching the crew do everything they can to save zoro and one another from kuma was so heartbreaking. they truly care for each other. as a captain, luffy had to watch everyone vanish from thin air and his own inability to save them broke him down. this was the first time we see luffy emotional. sure, he’s been angry before, but he’s never been so devastated.
this was a new situation for all the crew to handle & i’m eager to see how they all come together to help luffy stop ace’s execution.
skip and loafer has become a lifelong favorite for me. it's so authentic and beautiful. i fell in love with the story and characters so quickly. mitsumi is so kind and resilient. she tries so hard even if things don’t work out and isn’t afraid to put herself out there. she’s incredible. i want to be like her one day. and shima's story is so well written. his journey of finding himself and navigating his feelings is so beautifully told. growing up and finding yourself is awkward and can be scary but these characters push through despite the challenges and it's so moving. the friendships, the writing, the art, all of it is so wonderful. i love skip and loafer so much.
this is stunning
accidentally finished this today on new sukirofa chapter day
“Tomioka!”
