concept building on Impel Down where the marines have to just make the executive decision to stop putting Luffy in prison altogether because no matter where they put him he just breaks out and frees all the other prisoners while he's at it so it's just a net loss every single time

new recruit being like "we've captured the pirate king!! surely a criminal of this caliber should be put in [whatever the WG's latest high security hell prison is]" and his older captain is like "AHAHAH no we will nOT put Prison Breaks Georg in the place we need to be mOST CERTAIN IS NEVER COMPROMISED"

his bounty no longer says dead or alive anymore like nah just KILL that sucker

STEVE BUSCEMI WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR SANJI I AM SCREAMING

In 2005, when Hovak Johnston heard that the last Inuk woman tattooed in the traditional way had died, she set out to tattoo herself and learn how to tattoo others.

What was at first a personal quest became a project to bring the art of traditional tattooing back to Inuit women across Nunavut, starting in the community of Kugluktuk.

With the rise of missionaries and residential schools in the North, the tradition of tattooing was almost lost. Now, there are HUNDREDS of Inuit women with traditional tattoos.

the way i was just talking about this in class like why does a work of literature have to ‘transcend time and culture.’ is it not enough to meet it where it’s at as a specific piece of art belonging to a specific context from a particulare time

okay i need everybodys opinions on all of these foods: pineapple pizza, avocado, hummus, candy corn, nutella, and dark chocolate

Dmitry Shostakovich (1906–1975)

Shostakovich’s contemporaries do not recall seeing him working, at least not in the traditional sense. The Russian composer was able to conceptualize a new work entirely in his head, and then write it down with extreme rapidity—if uninterrupted, he could average twenty or thirty pages of score a day, making virtually no corrections as he went.

But this feat was apparently preceded by hours or days of mental composition—during which he “appeared to be a man of great inner tensions,” the musicologist Alexei Ikonnikov observed, “with his continually moving, ‘speaking’ hands, which were never at rest.”

Shostakovich himself was afraid that perhaps he worked too fast. “I worry about the lightning speed with which I compose,” he confessed in a letter to a friend. Undoubtedly this is bad. One shouldn’t compose as quickly as I do. Composition is a serious process, and in the words of a ballerina friend of mine, “You can’t keep going at a gallop.” I compose with diabolical speed and can’t stop myself.… It is exhausting, rather unpleasant, and at the end of the day you lack any confidence in the result. But I can’t rid myself of the bad habit.
