For the Lulz.

I have decided that I will not consider Ace to be truly, completely, irrevocably dead until there is a party and he is not in attendance.
I just can't tell if this makes me delusional, or cynical after the Pell thing (I was happy he survived! I just... stopped believing people actually died in One Piece. Except in flashbacks.), or just really really hopeful. O_o
I used to laugh at the fans who insisted "So-and-so is not dead! He's just... hiding. Under the table.... On his aunt's farm in New Zealand."
So. In the interests of doing this thoroughly:
-Ace isn't dead, he's just having a long-delayed fit of narcolepsy.
-His Vivre Card isn't gone, it's just really really small!
-He's only mostly dead.
-That wasn't blood on Luffy's hands, it was tomato juice.
-Ace didn't die, Whitebeard didn't get half his face burned off, and Luffy didn't fail: all of Impel Down and Marinford was just a shroom-induced hallucination. Luffy's still on Kuja.
Finally: I am mourning a mustache.
Oda, I would like my sanity back now. Thank you. jk, it's totally yours, only - make things gleeful again, okay?
Oh what the hell. I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES *CLAPS*

But then there was the Thank you for loving me and Ace smiled and I went o___o wait, what?! He. Did he. Just. Kill Ace?
And now I'm somewhere in-between. That was... it was a beautiful death scene (except for, you know, the death part) but I just... really don't want to believe that's it, you know? Complete failure after everything? Luffy has never sacrificed so much before, so many people made so many sacrifices! For them all to just fail after all that... something in my gut is just, refusing ^^;
So I laugh at myself. And put off trying to convince myself that this is really really it until things are better. Because they will be. Eventually.
