A thought for you: imagine pony Sanji's wings growing in during his whole crisis during Wano and desperately hiding them afterwards and refusing to learn to use them,,
But gush baby alicorn sanji is so cute,,, would he hide his wings from Zeff? Would Zeff worry that taking care of a little baby essentially demigod is different from taking care of a normal foal? There's so many interesting things to consider
YOUR BRAIN IS HUGE!
but what if... sanji had his wings his whole life but totally hated them, he never was good at flying so it felt right to hide them. (lets say zeff knew bc... cmon.... zeffs his father he knows his kid inside out).
the alicorn thing gets revealed of course at wci, yada yada yada. we get to wano, the whole germa genes bullshit happens. sanjis miserable because he suddenly can use his wings like a pro, thinking "holy shit im becoming exactly like my brothers im screwed". but while fighting queen he realizes it doesnt actually matter if hes an alicorn or not, he goes thru his whole "IM A PIRATE, MY NAME IS BLACKHOOF (LMAO) SANJI AND IM A COOK OF THE STRAWHAT PIRATES". He tries to not feel ashamed of his wings after that :)) (HEALING ARC)
baby alicorn sanji definitelly was a pain in the ass to raise (just like canon sanji) <3
Hey so I think having childhood peers I was desperately trying to fit in with/befriend chanting "Broken" at me as sports trash talk for years of my life. Might have done something to my brain.
if i had a nickel for every time—in a show that was originally a 1990s cult classic book critiquing how people use religion to exploit others, written as a different take on an extremely famous story—an extremely powerful magical queer couple composed unexpectedly of iconic, archetypal figures in pop culture, forced by the system to represent respectively in the land the forces of Good and Evil (forces which are proven to be more propaganda and politics than true good and bad), the "nice" "Good" one a whimsical curly blonde, and the "Evil" one dark-haired and black-clad playing their own game with something distinctly unusual about their otherwise regular human appearance who's allergic to water in its purest form, who can both fly, and one of them had a very subtle name change where they changed just one of the letters, had to influence in different directions a small-town human child who just wanted to go back to their old life, at some point had one of them give the other a big old occult book they needed to continue their work for them and make a change, at another point had one of them think the other had died and they had to grieve the loss completely and utterly alone, and had a huge break-up (regarding if it's more effective to make political change by getting within the system or outside it) where the dark-haired one asks the blonde to run away with them and be together, be a team, and then the blonde one refuses it and instead takes on a huge position of power on the side of a power-hungry charlatan who is leading the whole unsalvageable system who presents as a great and powerful FLOATING HEAD with a title that includes "the" (a charlatan who claims to grant someone's greatest dreams as long as they do his dirty work in return!), but not before the blonde one offers sincerely that the dark-haired one come back with them and be forgiven and have all they ever wanted, which is distinctly not what the dark-haired one wants, not anymore, and ending in a kiss goodbye that leaves us in anticipation for the final act of the show—i'd have two nickels. which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
ngl i think forcing people to choose sides and making drama over a discord server public is really immature especially after how you reacted in private but ok. ESPECIALLY when your partners are in almost exactly the same boat as grey's. over them not wanting to hand over? control of gss? real indicative of the type of person you are .... ok vampibur
Does anyone hear the crickets chirping in tempo and then the opening chords of Night Ride Home and then the FEELINGS™️ start to come to you and you fully go insane...or is that just me?
i now know how writers feel after finishing a series and posting the first part 😭😭 it's like giving birth and then posting all the photos of the baby on facebook for everyone to see how cute it is
anyway your blog is like my safe space so I'm sharing that I'm no longer a series virgin 🎉🎉 I'm so happy rn the stress of having a 2 month old work being the most recent on my ao3 feed is gone 😁
this series 👀
Lmao, I love that imagery 💀💀 perfect. AND congrats on finishing your first series! That is really exciting!!
But, yeah, perhaps not as exciting as getting to share it with everyone. I'm sending you all the ✨️good readers and good commenter✨️ vibes
With all the writing I do myself, I don't actually read a ton of fanfic anymore, BUT what your series is shaping up to look like sounds incredible. So I'm definitely gonna try to read 👀
Also, I really, really feel you. I always have the voice in the back of my head that likes to tell me I don't post enough or that I'm not working hard enough--not just for writing, for everything I do, creative and otherwise. But. Listen. Two months isn't a long time. Write at whatever pace you want to. The people that are gonna read it and love it are willing to wait--they will find it, no matter if it comes out this week or next year, they will find it. If you build it, they will come. Fandom isn't supposed to be stressful, and it shouldn't feel like a job. You do this for free because you enjoy it! Enjoy it. Write whatever the fuck you want at whatever pace you feel.
Reminders both for you and for me, lmao. If you need more encouragement to take breaks, sometimes I trick my stupid little brain into being (vaguely) content with taking a break or not worrying about timeliness by remembering that in order to create you have to have a life to pull from, you have to have experiences, new experiences to create new things. So when you're not writing, think of it like your recharge time. You're living life. Then, you can come back and make new little lives and worlds in your writing.
And again, congratulations on your new series! Series are nothing to sneer at--they take much planning and work. Good job!
