Here’s HSTHETE, the 24 hour comic I drew this year!  Thanks to everybody who followed along on twitter this weekend as I posted these pages <3

PS: if you liked this, there’s a whole book of these comics available now!

every time i see a "sanji is a straight man, he loves women and hates men" comment on fanart or a headcanon i need those people to understand that not only do people have personalities separate from their sexuality but sanjis backstory is the perfect recipe for severe internalized homophobia.

nobody considers that, apart from not trusting men period, if he were to find one attractive? thats against everything he knows and he feels the need to actively act aggressive toward them so nobody gets any ideas. theres no way you can determine a fictional character's sexuality because there's always multiple ways to interpret behavior and how the hell are you going to know if they're actively hiding something?

and, one more time for the cishets, you don't know the queer experience, so you can't identify it! gay people are not all stereotypes! headcanoning characters as queer or having explicitly queer characters does not take away from your enjoyment of a media!

if it does, theres something much deeper wrong with you <3

i just can't believe that oda fucking create sanji, a stereotypical ladies man who simps to an embarrassing degree for women while having his hackles comically raised around everyone he perceives as a man - and most notably butting heads with the more obvious ~manly man~ of the crew. haha, classic anime running gag, the kind that gets obnoxious at times but still makes you laugh.

AND THEN, like a billion chapters later, motherfucker steeples his fingers and goes "soooooooo... what makes a person Like That?"

and the answer is that he grew up in fucking Toxic Masculinity, The Kingdom. the answer is that he was always Different, in a way other guys instinctively perceived as weak, and that made him the target of visceral scorn and violence. the answer is that he was sensitive, sweet, caring, nurturing - feminine-coded traits which are only valued by patriarchy insofar that they're performed by women in service of men. the answer is that in a kingdom comprised almost entirely by violent men, the only ones who were ever kind to him, the only safety he ever had, were a girl and a woman.

so cooking is for women and servants, it makes you less of a man. only women will ever really value you for your passions and dreams. women are also actively hurt by the way the world works, they are unsafe unless they comply with men's violence, and you have to protect them.

(men will always know what you are, and they will hurt you if you let them.)

and even after he leaves... at baratie he is cherished and respected, but even that is an extremely masculine environment. we don't talk about our feelings, we don't let our guard down, the only love is tough love. when he tries to express his artistry and express himself through his cooking, rather than just filling orders and making money, he gets mocked.

so here is a man who will not raise a hand to a woman, because he rejects the masculinity he was raised with and refuses to become yet another man subjecting women to violence. he is desperate for women's attention and affection because it's SAFE, it's the only kind he can trust. other men are potential threats and must be treated as such. he must at all times be snarky, tough, Not Feminine, because to be perceived otherwise is to be powerless, to be hurt.

like y'all. the queer coding of it all? the overtly feminist themes? the active rejection of toxic masculinity and the way it's shown to be directly tied to imperialism? what the fuck.

My take on Pierre Bonnard’s Le Chat Blanc (1894) - 150x232px

[lesbomaticlove]

doing this with one of the fics im writing but basically taking the states and making up cities to fill them with. yeah this is basically happening in massachusetts but for lore reasons it has to be a completely fictional version of massachusetts

It’s funny when American authors come up with a new European nation so their main character can be a secret royal without the pain of researching a real nation. We should all start doing that with North America, just make up a new state. My protagonist lives in New Utahioshington which is the 51st state and located between Delaware and Maryland

#and this isnt just a 'random town in x' thing #its a 'i need baseball teams from multiple states but refuse to use real cities' thing #its a 'i know some basic things about the real area its in but i cant make it real setting and portray the story at the same time' thing #its a 'adapting the lore of a wildly built world into a modern au is difficult' thing #to clarify i am american. ohioan to be exact. tbh i just wanna make shit up

also, having a 'betrayal' arc doesnt make someone less of a strawhat... because luffy still loves and accepts them despite their experiences, because he values them as people. its called character development. they grow from their 'betrayal' because luffy has undying trust in the people he keeps around him and that is not a bad thing. he's going to fight for their dreams no matter what. he chooses them for a reason. he keeps them around for a reason. if luffy says theyre a strawhat, theyre a strawhat.

ppl who say zoro is the only real strawhat bc hes the only one who hasnt "betrayed" luffy are the weakest links.

first of all theres also chopper brook franky and jimbei

secondly did you not watch nami, usopp, robin or sanjis arcs ???? thats all you got out of them???? thats like 400 whole ass episodes you just completely skipped thru/ did not understand.

go watch one piece again and actually pay attention ffs

the point of art is not to be great but to make it transparently obvious that there is something wrong with you
