confession: look, on the one hand, I like Spider, I do. He’s an interesting character and I agree that the hate he gets in some corners of the fandom is absolutely ridiculous. He’s not a backstabber or villainous or a flip-flopper or whatever other bullcrap, he’s an orphan kid in an alien world trying to find somewhere to belong, the hate is silly.
but.
I’m growing equally tired of seeing posts with an attitude of trying to guilt-trip people for not viewing him as a member of the Sully family. Canonically, he simply isn’t (sorry, but the movie directly, explicitly stating “he wasn’t part of our family” outweighs concept art with an “unofficial adoption” songcord bead).
The Sully family is very personally meaningful to me right now, so naturally I want to focus my energy on them. Spider is of course a close friend of the family, so sometimes he will be included just like Norm or other characters are sometimes included, but I’m not going to go out of my way to shove him in every single time...and quite frankly, the more I see folks acting like it’s somehow problematic to not consider Spider a member of the Sully family (which again canonically he isn’t), the less I want to do stuff that includes him :/

Very random doodle of the fireys from Labyrinth. On my first watch these guys scared me. Now I think they are neat. Sorry these are poor doodles, it's my first time drawing them!

Nimona headcanons I wrote while waiting for my plushies to arrive:
Nimona can regenerate limbs like a lizard
They use all pronouns and if they're feeling more one way than another, or not feeling whatever gendered term used, they'll just interrupt whoever is speaking and go "Nope" until they either give up or guess right. It frequently happens with interviewers, and he'll even switch it up mid interview because she enjoys being an absolute menace to them.
If it wasn't for the fact that she's incredibly durable (see: her getting an arrow to the leg and getting STABBED and being FINE) Nimona would always have bandages and bruises on her arms and legs from doing dumb stuff with no regard for her safety
Nimona DIYs a lot of their clothes, and even taught themself how to sew, knit, and crochet over the years because they got bored and needed something to wear (yes they could in theory just shift into whatever outfit they please but let them have hobbies come on)
Nimona changes his appearance every time they find something cool or has a new idea for the way they think would be cool to look, but always keeps her signature pink color
They have a mental catalog of their favorite appearances and will cycle through them periodically when they get bored of their current one, so sometimes they'll just come in and be dressed like they're from the 1500's or something. One time Bal walked in, and Nimona was just casually trying on their different eras. He was startled at first but it's normal for them to just be doing stuff and for nimona to suddenly look like a completely different person or an extinct animal or something, just for fun.
Nimona and Ambrosius do not handle the heat well. They both overheat incredibly easily, but Bal runs cold, so he's always freezing and will complain when they blast the AC. He's under like three blankets, while nimona has shifted into a lizard in an attempt to cool down, and Ambrosius is literally on the floor directly in front of the air conditioner.
Nimona can NOT handle spicy food. They claim they can and still attempt eating it, but for all the years they've been alive, they have not been able to build their spice tolerance at all. They love it, but they struggle to find spicy food that they can enjoy without sobbing while also being spicy.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN..... WE GOTTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so SO much to everyone who commissioned (read: enabled) me!!
Now that I've reached my goal of +10ing my boy, and since my time is (unfortunately) still quite limited due to work, I'm going to be closing comms tomorrow! So, if you have an idea and haven't decided if you want to commit or not yet, now's your last chance for the time being! ;) And to all those who have already paid, I know I do still have quite a few to get through- I was a FOOL to think I could just bang these out in 24 hours, lol, but please rest assured they will be coming within the next few days!! I'll get through them slowly but surely. Admittedly I did take a break to draw this guy because I was so pleased to get him, but I'll get right back on the horse tomorrow lol.
Thank you so much again everyone!! ^O^

The Bayern books were my favorite series until Attolia, and then Forest Born sucked. The Attolia books were (and still are) my favorite series by a mile, and then the last two books were just okay. I absolutely loved the Lunar Chronicles, Fairest, and Heartless, and then Gilded and Cursed were two of the worst books I've ever read in my life. So no, I have not read the Hunger Games prequel.

the good news is that I finished a book and it got me out of my reading slump where I would start things, not finish, switch to something else, not finish
the bad news is that "yes daddy" by jonathan parks-ramage is one of the worst written books I've read in a whiiiile. bland expositiony prose, flat characters, a bunch of weird plot detours. Written like a 200-page Wikipedia summary instead of an actual book
the worst news is that it has such intensely favorable gushing reviews on goodreads, and the people who hated it mostly hated it for a different reason, and so I'm left alone like oKAY BUT THE PROSE WAS SHIT, HOW DO YOU NOT SEE THIS

Given Film Red being in the sort of canon space that most of the other movies are (the movie itself not being canon, but Uta being a canon character as shown in the manga), here are my Thoughts on Uta and Shanks for this blog’s canon:
When Uta accidentally unleashes the Tot Musica as a child, it ends up being too much of a strain on her and kills her. Without it’s host, the Tot Musica is stopped. However, in a blind rage over her death, Shanks wipes out all of Elegia--killing the civilians and ordering the crew to loot any goods from the wreckage before they depart.
He doesn’t have the heart to tell Luffy that she was killed and he doubles down on not taking kids with him.
Given how protective he was during her childhood, outside of his crew, the only ones who knew about her were Buggy, Mihawk, and Rayleigh. He does not and will not talk about her, though a few remnants of her exist on his ship.
