I wanted to do more of these experimental Oni-Mask Heads - so I borrowed two pretty Charr from last DrawArtCharrty-Event :3
Chariot Embertome - @dagosart
Redaar Steelhide - @jollycryptid
I hope you like them! ;V; ♥

ahem. please consider the following concept because it's been making me lose my mind:
before your paths crossed, the mara that afflicted yan blade had a fluid form, shifting at will. it utilized a wide range of ingredients to serve him torments made to order. while effective, his mara wasn't content to reuse the same old parlor tricks. a certain spice was lacking. one that when shoved down his throat, would eviscerate him from the inside out. however, when you entered the picture, its pièce de résistance could finally be presented on a silver platter.
all along, you've been the missing flavor, as you alone can inflict a mortal wound upon an undying man. it considers you a muse. now, it assumes your likeness when delivering jeering taunts or wicked temptations. your voice echoes in his head. crooning, at first, like the first notes of a lullaby. to him, your voice represents warmth. the sole connection he sees any value in maintaining. his mara knows this and preys on it.
when he teeters on the brink of madness, it's you he sees, radiant and untarnished by the viscera he wades in.
"look at you," this false prophet hums, using your tone and cadence. "this is all you're good for, isn't it? hurting others, i mean."
not you, he'd think. a futile rebuttal.
'you' laugh, your eyes gleaming with unbridled malice. "not me? all you've done is hurt me. just changed your methods, is all. you've taken my happiness, my future... i'd rather you use your sword and get it over with."
the edges of blade's vision turn red. this isn't you, this isn't you, but it might as well. and does that not make it worse? for an apparition to steal the words you're too afraid to tell him?
"not an apparition," 'you' correct. "i'm all you're guaranteed."
he's becoming someone he isn't — or, worse — something he'll never not be.
...
when kafka finds him in the aftermath, slathered in gore, she muses that the blood will wash off, but 'your' influence won't. his mara recedes, grinning with satisfaction from knowing it'll always come back.

I always understood why ZoSan was a ship but it never clicked for me until OPLA. IMO Anime!Sanji's flirting switched off when it came to anyone other than women with an almost audible click. "but oh, comphet exists, codeswitching exists -" yeah yeah those are fun takes but in the live action? Taz Skylar is, like, physically incapable of turning it off between character interactions.
Meanwhile, and maybe this is due to the nature of Hollywood editing but a reaction shot wherein Zoro gives him a long significant look after Sanji challenges him to prove he's a man with his sword? Never could've happened in the anime. Then again it was Mackenyu's choice to put that amount of come hither energy into it
