I know Oda consistently draws post-timeskip Zoro as malnourished and dehydrated to show all those muscles, but I legitimately think soft strongman beefcake is peak Zoro design. You know Mihawk was telling Zoro about macros and micros, proteins, rest days, recovery meals, and through sheer force of will alone forced Zoro to stop substituting alcohol for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
I will never be convinced post-ts Zoro is anything but this
honestly i think he’d look amazing with a body like Sasaki, but conservatively.. he should be a barrel

What You Will Need:
An Apple (for cleansing away negativity)
A Knife
A Sigil in Mind for Healing
Directions:
Use your knife to carve your sigil into the surface of the apple. I used one of my own: x
Once you have carved your sigil into the apple, begin to eat the apple. As you eat, think of the thing that has hurt you that you want to move past. Focus on how moving forward will improve your life.
As you chew the apple, imagine you are crushing that thing that is bothering you. When you swallow, know that you are taking in the healing properties of both the apple and the sigil.
Don’t rush it! Take your time and try to eat as close to the core as possible before throwing the apple (and that thing holding you back from healing) away.
Put an egg in your ramen. Put scallions in your ramen. Put chili oil in your ramen. Put kewpie Mayo in your ramen. But nori in your ramen. Put tofu in your ramen. Put miso paste in your ramen. Put mushrooms in your ramen.
Do NOT reply or comment except to add good things to put in ramen. That’s what this post is for.
(Due to personal reasons, I haven’t been able to do the past few days properly so I just did all the ones I missed in one day.)
April 26th: Do you stim? What sort of stims do you have? What do you wish people knew about stimming?
Yes. (It’s right in my URL.) I stim with my fingers (wiggle them, tap them, touch the spaces between them with my thumb), I rock back and forth or side to side (especially when I hear music I like), I fidget with small objects like pens, I tap my feet, I wiggle the foot that’s in the air when I sit in a chair with my legs crossed… hell, crossing my legs all the time might be a stim itself (pressure stimming). And that is just some of them, I just don’t have the time to write all of them down right now.
What I want people to know about stimming is why it happens/why we do it and what to do about it, ie. to learn to live with it if it’s not hurting anyone and learn how to help others with harmful stimming. I just want people to inform themselves about as many aspects of it as possible, really. And most importantly, to understand that stimming isn’t something that can just be removed from an autistic person. That it’s a part of how we work.
April 27th: Do you have trouble identifying physical feelings like hunger or being tired? Do you have trouble with identifying emotions?
Identifying physical feelings isn’t that hard for me, but I do have a bit of a problem with thinking I’m hungry every time I feel some kind of sensation in my stomach that feels like hunger. Fortunately, that doesn’t immediately make me eat (at least not usually), and I do know that it’s not always hunger… it’s just easy to confuse.
Emotions, on the other hand, aren’t easy for me to identify. I do know when I feel good/comfortable and when I feel bad/uncomfortable, and I have some idea of what the basic emotions feel like, but identifying specific emotions (beyond the basic ones) and what exactly caused them can be difficult and confusing. I’m not sure if it’s because of autism or just because emotions are complicated in general, but… like I said, it’s not easy.
April 28th: Can you drive? If so, do you like driving? If not, do you want to learn?
No. I do like driving as a concept… I guess, but I’m not too sure about learning to drive. It seems very complicated to me and I’m not sure if I have the capacity to focus on it properly, or the coordination for it. Besides, I’m not the most fond of actually sitting in a car. It gets hot easily, the … car smell feels overwhelming at times (especially when the inside of a car is dusty), it’s just not pleasant to me in general.
April 29th: What sort of things do you like to do to relax/for self care?
To relax, I like doodling/coloring, writing/typing stuff that doesn’t require much effort just for the sake of it, listening to soft/calming music, looking at pictures of cats or my favorite characters, drinking some water, watching cat videos or clips from movies/shows I like, and browsing Wiktionary (I just love words and I like etymology and translations in particular).
For self-care, I like eating snacks, using soap that smells good in the shower, and eating a good meal (when I know what to eat and I feel that what I’m eating is Just Right).
Pre-Lammas harvest from my balcony garden! This was my first time attempting to grow potatoes and I’m pleasantly surprised at the result! They are definitely smaller than store bought, and I think I would bury my seed potatoes several inches deeper next year to try to produce a lager crop! Overall I’m glad I tried it! I will be replanting dill and a few other herbs to hopefully dry and store in time for winter!
actually i love growing older and learning how i work as a person like realizing what kinds of fabrics feel best on my skin or what brand of yogurt i like best or how I want to be touched. watching myself change, enjoying brussel sprouts when I used to hate them as a child, understanding why I got angry in that one conversation 10 years ago… there are so many mysteries inside me that i have yet to unravel and there will always be more and sometimes i think maybe its all worth it
my job this summer involves leading a group of teens to do physical outdoor work all day and like safety issues aside (important to eat/drink enough to work all day in the heat) i rly wanna foster an environment where snacking and eating plentifully is encouraged and Food Is Good and Important for Energy bc i rly lost so much of my teen yrs to feeling guilty over what i ate/skipping meals/etc and even tho it’s been years diet culture is still so insidious & so prevalent. but i just realized that in order to do that & lead by example im gonna have to address and overcome my own disordered eating habits
