Whale Shark Gliding Through Bioluminiscent Algae _ Mike Nulty
SPACE SHARK
[ID: A silent black and white video showing a whale shark swimming through black water studded with small dots of white, or bioluminescent algae. Combined with the white spots along the whale shark's entire back, the video gives the strong impression that the shark is a being swimming through space. End ID]

the craziest thing about luffy as a character is that he's been doing all of this in jorts and sandals.
as-i-watch answered:
That should’ve given us a paramater of how feral he is as a protagonist
I love the tension of “you can’t possibly want to be with someone like me” in queer stories, and the unbearable tension that results from someone saying “yes I very much do”
think a lot of straight stories get their tension from “is he safe? is he trustworthy?” versus like. hardly daring to believe that something this good could be happening to you of all people, as stigmatized as you are. and once you believe it you have to keep believing it, and dismantle every internal defense that keeps haranguing on that of course this isn’t happening to you because you’ve imagined the whole thing from top to bottom. the internal horror movie that goes on every time a queer person allows themselves to acknowledge something powerfully good in their lives and how much they stand to lose if it gets taken away from them.
it’s just different.
