Y'all I'm not even lying when I say they posted literally right after I posted this!!! I just finished reading and they didn't say anything in the notes so I hope they're fine 💙

It's so strange and funny how the ao3 curse has affected my thought process. I was sitting here genuinely panicking because an ao3 author I've been reading from stopped posting three days ago and they're a daily poster. So my brain immediately jumped to "Oh gods I hope wherever hit them isn't too terrible! I hope it's just a cold and not a burned down house or dead relative!" Gods only on AO3 would you assume the worst immediately because someone missed their weeklies/dailies.

Yeah it made me feel super weird seeing people switch up. I however fell even deeper in the zosan ship because Opla Sanji is taller and I have a love for taller bottoms... I'm a firm enjoyer of "taller bottom/smaller top" this applies to all genders by the way. I especially like it in sanami and lusan (though I do think Luffy hits a growth spurt in his late 20's that devastates the crew). In my mind, Zoro is a top that just doesn't mind experimenting with his partners and no matter how he looks he will stay firmly right there.

Fairly controversial take

as a recent ex zosan shipper I feel as though I gotta speak on this tbh

now that everyone is finally able to shit on opla I’ll have my go why not

the amount of you who back in September were saying “oh yeah opla zoro is definitely a bottom” I gotta admit as a young Asian girl it made me go 🤦🏻‍♀️❓

this might sound weird but let me just explain:

In the animanga it’s common knowledge that zoro is Asian but he doesn’t really have district ethnic features beside the fact that he was tan pre time skip, alas most people though he was more of a “top”

As soon as opla comes out and a visibly East Asian actor is playing zoro, everyone switches up because he “looks more like a bottom”

😭?

like what do you mean by that?? Help???

and ships like sanzo and luzo have risen substantially in popularity since it came out too.

like i hate to be that person but this feels rooted in the way western media portrays East Asian people as more “weak” and “submissive” than other races

now I don’t know if people will understand what I mean by this, but I how I made my point in an understandable way.

No hate to sanzo or luzo shippers or just people who prefer bottom zoro, but people make sure you like it for the right reason and not because you think East Asians men are submissive or whatever weird asf things westerners think abt Asia ☠️

I found out about the Spraypaint game on Roblox last night and had so much fun!!!

Here's some of the art I finished while playing!

They're not perfect but it was so much fun! Can't wait to play more!

#roblox #roblox spraypaint #sanji #nami #btw I've once again become sick 😭 #I'm gonna post an update on some wips later when i feel better #I'm such a procrastinator 🥲 I'll finish something soon! #(I say with 30 wips sitting in my art folder and seven story's that are still just bullet points...) #ANYWAYS

[kaicat-love]

Honestly this is peak for me because I have a... Thing for taller characters and all my faves go into the bottoms/sub category so you can kinda guess what I think Sanji is (I mean look at that waist) and yes that extends to female characters. If she's tall and has a short girlfriend you already know which one I think is topping.

taller sanji sanzo my beloved

#one piece #sanji #and I do mean every tall character I like gets this treatment #i especially adore the 'they were so tiny then shot up bigger than everyone' stuff #i also seem to be drawn to snarky silver tongues. blonds. glasses. stoic (autism). split characters (color scheme #i have types and im not afraid to admit one of them is 'tall nerodivergent asshole that cant communicate correctly' #i.e Asagiri Gen. Tsukishima Kei. Blackleg Sanji. Ishikawa Goemon XIII. Konig. Ignis Scientia. the list goes on

[kaicat-love]

Holy wow I love it!!!

I literally just redownloaded cookie run a couple days ago! I love every design so much they're perfect!!!

wOW!! LOOK AT THESE GUYS!!

i made cookie run versions of the lupgang, uh if you dont know, cookie run is a video game franchise about these gingerbread cookies and you should not play it

anyways, time for me to explain for hours about the thought that went in these designs!!!

Lupin III - Cactus Cookie

firstly, yes, cacti can be eaten. for lupin's case i think you'll deadass die if you eat him

the reason i chose cactus for his flavor is because of his incredible persistent to survive in the most dangerous and impossible conditions, much like how cacti dont need a lot to survive in the desert.

i think this may be a reach but i recall a lot of times where lupin is in the desert but idk that bitch can be anywhere bro also hes a prick

I used the green color of the cactus, but cactus cookie can change the color of his cactus coat and the flower tie.

also cacti can sprout flowers! that's very gay of them to do, very lupincore

if you're curious about his eyes, i based it off of strawberry cream cookie's eyes, i think it fits a lot with lupin's googly eyes

Jigen Daisuke - Shiitake Cookie

i think his flavor was the hardest to decipher, but i decided to use shiitake, mainly because another certain mushroom themed cookie uses it as a huge hat...

also, shiitake mushrooms have a rather strong, meaty and earthly taste, which i think fits jigen's strong and gruff personality.

I also added some pepper on the mushroom, which is just, intensifying the strength peppercorn can also be used for bullets !

in addition, shiitake mushrooms are one of the ingredients of sukiyaki, which i think is a rather iconic food for jigen !

Goemon Ishikawa XIII - Soba Cookie

SOBAAAAAA soba is earthly noodle and it looks like the color of goemon's hair, that's literally it sorry i dont have anything else HAHAHAH

nvm i think i have more design notes for goemon some of his design elements are inspired off of rebel cookie, which is based off of a korean classical character hong gildong jeon, who has a very similar story to ishikawa goemon !

also goemon's swords are chopsticks, tehe

Fujiko Mine - Cinnamon Bun Cookie

I wanted to show her deceitful personality through the flavor, and i arrived on cinnamon buns, primarily because cinnamon is a spice that can be very harmful to consume in huge doses, but many people seem to like the cinnamon flavor.

i use the cinnamon flower on her head, like how i put a flower on lupin's head, to kinda show that they have a similar personality and profession

also design inspo

Koichi Zenigata - Macadamia Cookie

the flavor was very easy to decide on. if you don't know, cookie run detective characters are typically nut cookies! (walnut cookie, almond cookie)

so i decided on macadamia nuts, the hardest nuts, because of his stubborn and headstrong personality

other than that, not a lot to comment. if you wonder why there's blue in his designs, i dont really know tbh, i used blue as a color base and i found it pretty on him.

end of post

I just started this art piece for my partner's b-day in April. One of his favorite characters is Geld from 'Reincarnated as a Slime' especially since Kokobu (a goblin child that's pretty much his daughter at this point) made an appearance (I love them too honestly)

Anyways here's the base sketch!!!

And here's Kokobu all by herself because I love her so much!!!

I admit I'm biased I got the rough sketch of Geld done and immediately started Kokobu and now she's further along then Geld... Anyways I'm gonna try and finish the sketch by tonight fingers crossed it goes well!!!

#that time i got reincarnated as a slime #ttigraas #ttigraas Geld #ttigraas Kokobu #fanart #my art #sketch

So I just got 5 unskippable ads on YouTube and have but one question.

WHAT THE FUCK YOUTUBE!!!

Two unskippable ads? That's on par.

BUT FIVE FUCKING ADS!!! ALL UNSKIPPABLE!!! AND ONLY TWO WERE SHORT!!!

#youtube #wtf

[kaicat-love]

Okay I get why artists make the background gray now! I've just been using random colors this whole time but for some reason the gray makes me work faster??? I've used it on my last three art pieces and I noticed that I spend longer on finishing the drafts instead of just putting it down randomly which makes me more excited to try finishing the art pieces! Side note I believe I'm sick again 😮‍💨 hopefully not gonna have flu symptoms with this one...

#just rambling I guess

[kaicat-love]

Ahhh my brain decided on the stupidest thing last night. I was trying to get motivated to touch literally any of the wips I have sitting around but no. My brain suddenly hyper focused on fucking My Little Pony!!! Specifically my and one of my partners pony Oc's on Pony Town, Berri Bloom(mine) and Mudpie (his) and decided fuck it human pony time!!!

Here's what Berri Bloom(they/them) and Mudpie(he/him) look like in Pony Town (this is a pretty old pic actually)

And this is the wip I now have of my human designs of them!

It's not finished but they're seriously so cute I actually love them so much!!! I'm gonna show my partner when he wakes up and my other partner even agreed to make a pony town oc so I can include his pony next time!!!

#ponysona #pony oc #pony town #mlp oc

Well evidently my brain wanted a break from drawing Fontaine sibling stuff (I swear to God if I don't finish that wip I'll simply cease to exist) so I went to play around with anatomy and perspective sketches (I am not good with either I'm a beginner artist dude) and one of my oc's came to mind and next thing I know I had a full sketch so please enjoy my boy Matt (I know it's very rough I'm not used to drawing like this but recently my brain likes it so I'm trying to get better, also no one bring up my percentage I know it's low 😭)

He doesn't normally wear glasses but I did sketch him with his glasses too big ol' square boys (he wears them when it's late after washing up because he took out his contacts to shower)

I might sketch his bf later if I'm still in a low art mood just to keep up steam (I'm lagging on the Fontaine siblings wip because I'm on clothes and it's the absolute bane of my existence but I really don't want to abandon it 😭)

If anyone wants to ask questions about him feel free 💙💙💙

[kaicat-love]

The Fontaine siblings have a choke hold on me when it comes to a wip I started before I got sick. I revisited it today and there was a lot to edit but I like how it's looking so far!

It's far from done but so far I think they look adorable I hope I actually finish this one 🥲

(btw I did use a base off Pinterest for inspo)

Yes put it's a good joke to keep telling

Somebody has probably made this joke before

#one piece #aroace #luffy #portgas d ace

[kaicat-love]

Okay hi hello! Resident ace spectrum person of fandom space! I can confidently say that no it is not a recipe for eventual problems or break ups. I've literally been in a relationship for five years going on six this month. I found out I was on the ace spectrum about a year into dating my two partners and when I voiced that I might be ace I was encouraged to find out about myself. I was told I was still loved by both of them and it didn't change our relationship. If you find someone you really love and really loves you it won't matter to them. Sex is not integral to a relationship all the time and it shouldn't be the backbone of your love towards someone. Assuming that sex plays such a large part in a relationship is damaging for both asexual and allosexual individuals because it sets an expectation that you can only please and attract someone with your body and nothing else in the relationship matters (it's like when people say "your relationship is failing maybe you should put out more" or "was your sex game really that bad?"). This is not the case though, having an open talk about expectations of sex in a relationship and expressing your low, non-existent, or repulsed view on sexual activity is normal and should happen in all relationships even for allosexual individuals. It lets you know where your relationship stands with someone because if they truly only care about your relationship when they thought sex was on the table it probably wouldn't work out in the future anyways regardless of your view on sex. No one deserves to be put down or told that they have to seek out someone just like them (which is easier said than done) just to find love. Please if you share the same view as the person in the third post please take a second to reevaluate your view on sex and why you believe it's so important in a relationship that you think an ace person can't have working relationships with people outside of other ace individuals because I assure you we can.

one of my fandom litmus tests is whether or not ppl think asexual characters can be in relationships because some of y’all would rather write five paragraph essays explaining why you can’t ship them with anyone than redefine the way you view love (aka acknowledge rather than invalidate relationships that have no sexual physicality)

#asexual #acespec #ace #please remember that ace people are people too and also deserve to find love #just like aro people are still people and are deserving of love regardless of it not being romantic #love is a case by case situation and not cookie cutter perfect #there is no guide to it and there is no right or wrong way to stumble upon it #it is an ever moving and changing beast and can sometimes be overwhelming with how many different kinds of ways there is to express it #but one way or another everyone is deserving of it from small to big romantic or platonic we all deserve it #so please be kind and try to remember to respect other people regardless of how they view sex #you're doing great loves keep your head up high love is out there

You know what? This feels like something right out of The Magnus Archives. Like the whole crew of the Strawhats+Sunny was swallowed up by the vast and just narrowly escaped cause they didn't really know what would happen but knew if they let their guard down it would be over for them. What I'm saying is this was written absolutely beautifully!!! I loved it so much and even though it was short it gave a great deal of suspense absolutely wonderful!!!

We know there's a lot of weird spots that the strawhats have traveled through and I was thinking about what things would be super creepy out on the open water.

And I thought the sea is always moving, right? There's almost always going to be the sound of waves and water, even if it's quiet. There's almost always going to be the sway that comes from being at sea, the smell of salt, the harsh line of the horizon, etc.

But what if there wasn't? What if the water goes silent and the ship goes still? What if the horizon disappears in a night that's too dark to be normal and the moon is the only light but it sits in the sky more like a gaping hole than the usual nighttime companion?

Dark

Quiet

Still

Something where Luffy and Zoro are out on the ship in the middle of the night, the moon too high and too bright but everything much darker than it should be. The water and sky around them is all a wrong sort of black.

Luffy sits ridged on the figurehead and the frown is clear from the lines of his body even though he's facing forward. Zoro standing on the deck right behind him, the muscles of his back drawn tight and he has his hands on his swords. They're both almost swallowed by the dark.

The moonlight cuts across the deck in a harsh, sterile light.

Sanji leans against the mast towards the back, the very edge of his shoes teasing the cut of the moonlight. The red glow of his cigarette lights up his face just enough to see the harsh slant of his brow and the tightness of his jaw. The smoke is white as it leaves him and then gets swallowed by the dark.

Robin off to the side, arms crossed and hip resting against the side of the deck. She looks like stone in the low light, shoulders back and a blank look on her face.

All of them hyper focused on where the horizon should be, but is instead it's just endless, wrong dark.

Everything still and silent. The water doesn't move and there's no breeze.

The world is holding it's breath.

Quiet.

The only sound is their heartbeat in their ears and shallow breathing that's almost soundless. Chopper clings tight to Nami who's pressed side to side with Usopp. Franky and Brook are both on the other side of the room, keeping watch and braving the edges of moonlight that come through the little window. They're motionless, Brook blends into the shadows and leaves only the occasional white bone for the moon to catch. Franky is especially menacing and huge in the near nonexistent light.

They don't go out, terrified of making a noise that would break whatever silence is currently blanketed over them, terrifed that they'd make Luffy and the others lose focus and take their eyes off whatever they're watching or waiting for.

They stay curled up and silent against the wall that separates them from the moon and the night. It's dark inside the cabin but it's softer than whatever is outside. It's almost comforting, like children hoping a blanket keeps away the monsters.

They stay like that all night. When the first splashes of color spill across the hoizon it seems like a blanket has been ripped off. Suddenly air comes easier into their lungs and their muscles relax enough to flex fingers that had been clenched for hours and roll shoulders that had gone tight.

Zoro is back to his normal napping spot of deck, chin already dropping down to his chest and swords laid across his lap.

Luffy is still on the figurehead but he looks like he's humming to himself and looking towards the horizon with ease.

Robin is sitting down on the stairs, tired but relaxed as she leans into the morning breeze.

Sanji is already making his way towards the kitchen with a lazy stroll, the smell of his cigarettes lingers over the ship.

They don't ask.

Chopper scampers over to Zoro and carefully nudges the swords aside enough that he can climb onto his lap. He finally relaxes as Zoro wraps an arm around him, he's in one of the safest places on the ship.

Nami lets Sanji flutter around her longer than normal, sitting beside Robin who also seems content to indulge their cook a little extra today.

Usopp tails Franky, being careful on where he looks even though he knows there's no risk of him seeing anything terrible anymore. Franky asks something and Usopp launches into a story, eyes brightening up and a smile back on his face.

Brook goes to sit near Luffy and starts to play something warm and welcoming to greet the day.

It never happens again, at least not like it had that night.

Sometimes Luffy or Zoro seem to stare off at the horizon with a sharp intensity, but it breaks quickly.

Sometimes Sanji stands on the deck and smokes until there's a pile of ash at his feet, brow furrowed as he looks out over the water until he seems to blink and break himself out of it.

Sometimes Robin sits on the deck and wears the face she make when she's working on a puzzle, going though everything she knows and trying to make everything fit together.

That endless dark and haunting moon never reappear though. The dark only brings stars and the moon glows like a warm candle.

So I've been sick for the past five or so days and haven't had the energy to draw, sketch, or even doodle.

That being said, do you wanna see what I just opened my ibis to see. What I left my last art project on?

LIKE WTF DUDE 😂

#man what was I on #poor Lyney 😂 #lyney #genshin impact lyney

[kaicat-love]

I- I'm not the only one!!! Okay listen I've created an entire precure like au with the OP crew (specifically the east blue crew being the ones that transform and the other members being their companions!) but was too embarrassed to ever actually draw or write that au cause I was like "who would even like this other than me!" But I'm not the only one!!! 😭😭😭 This made me happier than I could ever be thank you so much!!! (Also I approve of twink Sanji+buff Luffy pairing 1,000%)

"Is this what it's like to be in the presence of a god..?"

What if I just- *drops and spills my Sanlu Magical Girl AU all over the floor* 🤭

I've been rotating this idea in my head for a while now all thanks to a joke that evolved into an entire AU 😭 Basically all you need to know right now is that:

Luffy was chosen by the Sun God Nika to be his next warrior/vessel through a magical armlet (that grants him his transformation).

Sanji escaped from his family's illegal human testing lab and stole a prototype raid suit in the process (thus becoming Soba Mask).

They both meet as civilians but come together to fight the forces of evil by moonlight (without knowing the identity of the other at first) 👹✨

I plan on posting some ref sheets along with more detailed explanations in the future! (AND BIG SHOUT-OUT TO MY FRIEND @sunnycanvasdesu FOR KICKSTARTING THE IDEA AND LISTENING TO ME YAPPING ABOUT IT YOU'RE A REAL ONE 🥹🙏🙏🙏💕)

Anyways bonus Luffy POV 🚶‍♀️

#I'm legit on the verge of tears out of happiness #so fun fact about me: if I even slightly like something you can be about 90% sure I've already started a magical girl au on it #it is a problem that i do not want help for!!! #watched Doremi as a kid and never looked back #thank you again for the beauty that is this piece of art I love it 💙💙💙 #one piece #one piece au #lusan #luffy #sanji #magical girl au #one piece magical girl au
