The One Piece anime made Drag-On Ball Z look like a paragon of efficient, taught storytelling.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Oh yeah, I have no desire to watch the One Piece anime or read the manga. But I was surprised at how much I ended up enjoying the live-action One Piece. And I especially loved the set design.
And, in keeping with the pirate theme, we started watching OFMD (as in, season 1) earlier this week. I've already seen tons and tons of posts about it, and so many GIFs, so I'm 100% spoiled. And yet, the one thing I was surprised by was Izzy Hands' voice. I expected it to be deeper and louder. (Also, Taika Waititi is so fucking pretty.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I've been rewatching OFMD S1 with Aeryn and remains, as ever, a complete fucking delight. I'm so happy she's enjoying it. (And I can't wait to get caught up to S2.)

By the time we get through S1, I think all of S2 will have dropped, so we won't have to wait like it's the 1980s or something.

These kids today with their binge watching and their ad-skipping buttons. Back in my day we used to watch 3 and a half minutes of commercials every ten minutes. (Uphill in the snow! Both ways!)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I remember ordering a pizza and being told how long ‘til we got it and my roommate looking at the clock and saying “that should be the first commercial break” and being AMAZED

Now tagless for your comfort.
After rewatching OFMD, a filthy fic popped into my head fully formed. I like to think JZ is watching out for me.

Aeryn and I finished OFMD S1 tonight and she immediately said "Oh my god can you even imagine if they hadn't gotten a season two???"
My child, I do not have to imagine, I fucking LIVED IT. We didn't know for MONTHS if we'd just seen the end!

We're 2 episodes from the end of S1 of OFMD, and while I'm totally spoiled for the big stuff, I was not spoiled for Karl and now I am pouring one out for Karl. We hardly knew ye.

We finished S1 of OFMD last night, and I was not prepared for how much Izzy Hands was not just fine with, but INTO, Blackbeard cutting off his toe. I am fascinated by all the ways in which he's fucked up.
