if a trans man talks about the discrimination and violence he faces because he’s a trans man and you say “that’s not because you’re a man, it’s just because you’re trans! you can’t be oppressed for being a man!” you owe him and every other trans man a minimum of $100 each.
you cannot treat our transness and our manhood as two completely separate things. we’re trans because we’re men and men because we’re trans. when we’re oppressed for our transness, we’re being oppressed on the basis of a transition to manhood. our transness and our manhood are inseparably linked. you don’t get to ignore the existence of trans manhood as a unique cohesive position in the hierarchy of gendered oppression just because the concept of a gender-oppressed man doesn’t fit into your current understanding of how those hierarchies work. you don’t get to pick and choose whether you want to address us as trans people or as men based on what you find the most convenient for your worldview in a given situation because we’re always both and there’s nothing contradictory about that.
if a trans man says he’s oppressed on the basis of being a man and the conclusion you take away from that is that trans men can’t be trusted to talk about our own oppression and his intentions must be malicious, you’re just a transphobe. the correct conclusion to take away from that would be that it’s time to update your understanding of gendered oppression because your current way of thinking about it doesn’t apply to an entire group of people. if you immediately get defensive and paint an entire group of trans people as unreliable narrators of their own lives instead, you’re just being transphobic.
if you believe that an oppressed group should get to lead discussions on their own oppression and be believed by default when they talk about how it works, you have to apply that principle to trans men too. we’re not an exception to the rule, you’re just a hypocrite making excuses.

Many have been discussing what would happen if Zoro died before Luffy became the Pirate King or, simply, if he died before Luffy, but let me bring up an idea:
What if Luffy died before becoming the Pirate King and fulfilling his dream? What if Zoro fulfilled his dream of being the greatest swordsman but without his captain by his side?
Can you imagine the pain, the anger, the sadness he would have to carry? Once he fulfilled his promise to his captain and his best friend, what is left for him? What is his purpose?
Then, one day, he hears rumors, about a new pirates willing to find the One Piece and finish what Luffy couldn't. What would be his reaction? Apathy? Sadness? Or maybe, just maybe, it would be rage.
It would be the converted pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro, the demon, the king of hell. The one who seeks out those naive people who dare to go for the One Piece and finish them off.
If his captain, if Luffy, could not be king of the pirates, no one else would ever be.
[Toon x Mobster] Jack passes out on the couch after an exhausting day of work.
Gavriel has a particular habit of taking in Jack's scent and rubbing his face with it when it's not covered with the headache-inducing heaviness of perfume.

Shoutout to my cat, Ming Ming. I got this comic idea from him.
I also projected myself a bit in this comic. I dislike scented products like perfume, hair gel, etc. since my nose tends to get very sensitive at times.
I have many things I don't like to smell. It makes me feel overwhelmed and tired.

spicy food - how well is each of the love interests spice tolerance?
any love interest where even the slightest lick of spice will kill them like dropping a tungsten dumbell on a hamster, or is there a love interest that eats spicy food so much that their tongue could withstand a nuclear bomb?
✦ Amon: Loves spicy food, eats it a lot, and can withstand a nuclear bomb (loved the comparison)
✦ Raeya: She has good tolerance, but doesn't enjoy spicy food that much. Just why would you like to suffer while eating?!
✦ Gael: Oh no. Oh nononono. No. Just get that away from him.
✦ Envy: Has little tolerance, but enjoys spicy food from time to time.
✦ Ara: Medium tolerance, but she's kind of a masochist that way so she'd try every spicy food available and then regret it immensely
✦ Xal: Right behind Amon, can withstand what most people can't, and likes spicy food very much!
✦ Father Pride: Doesn't have much tolerance and doesn't like spicy food, so a win win for him anyways
✦ Lázaro: Meh, they can get by. Not a huge fan of spicy food, but can enjoy it here and there!
✦ Cécile: His tongue is practically stone so he could eat whatever—not that he can feel the spiciness. So it doesn't count.
