My OPOC crew is finally finished WOOOOOO that took like. a week. but I am incredibly happy with them, they're finally real <3

Hope y'all like the blorbos, the start of their story is set around the current animanga situation. Post-Wano if you will. It gets kickstarted by the fall of Kaido and Big Mom and the consequences that brings to their territories and the world. They're going to have an extremely bad time starting out in the middle of the current world situation👍

They're mostly independent cause I don't enjoy canon and OC interactions all that much beyond using it as setup or for character development. That said, I do have an idea for one drawing/comic that is incredibly stupid and will likely do for the memes.

I don't know if I will end up sharing more of them than this but feel free to ask about them if you want to? Individual info cards of each of them below:

#one piece #op oc #one piece oc #one piece original character #The ones that have bounties already had them before they joined + added Jean's first bounty cause... captain #the rest won't get a bounty or their epithet until later in their story when they start to get more famous #some of them also get a second new epithet further down the line. Like Rye goes from “the griffin” to “white comet” #I love Jean cause he's like anti-main character. he wants anything EXCEPT being the king of pirates. let the man rest (no) #these cards + info is pretty much right as they start ish. The OG crew that sails from WCI are Jean. Tomogy. Garza and Chat #Everybody else joins later #I blame their sudden existence on my WCI rewatch. it inspired me #Bless honestly because I've been wanting to create a OP crew for the longest fucking time but I never found something I liked #Until them. my beloved chaos incarnate of a crew #Also relevant to let you guys know most of their names are puns or play on words. in proper OP fashion #I have some vague general ideas of their development as they navigate around and some more random drawing ideas of interactions/scenes #but the info in the cards is about all I have fully developed so far. they're fresh babies #my art

were there any pre canon concepts for adrien's/felix's room? i hate the canon one so much the layout confuses me

Afraid not. I think the closest we have is the information that Felix/ Adrian's family owned a hotel (this is before he was made into the villain's son.) A lot of early and even current ladybug is pretty focused around Marinette. Nathan-Felix-Adrien as a character is shockingly inconsequential to the narrative as a whole. (Which is probably why he was so easily edited throughout development whereas Marinette stayed pretty consistent.... And is also apparently still the case from what I've heard of the recent season.)

You can actually really see a lot of the inspiration that it transferred to the agreste mansion... But it also lost a lot of style and flair. Richard had a lot of art deco inspiration in the buildings associated with his character. And you can kind of see that in the hotel piece here. It's all connected, at least I believe it is.

It makes sense that the current one is frustrating. It's a mix between " oh this is what a fabulously wealthy teen boy would like" being full of video games and literal arcade machines, but still having like no personality? Like it's big. Because Adrian is rich. And it's like... Largely undecorated because Gabriel is like a minimalist or whatever... Except for all of the stuff that Adrian has because he's rich. And that's literally the end of it.

Edit: If I were to fathom a... A room that does line up with that hotel era then I would do something like this, except with more whites and golds rather than blue... Or just tailor it to however the cat's relationship to his father is.

#It's like go one way or the other man #is he overprotected and not allowed to express himself? then give him the bare bones room with nothing but the bookshelves. #or is he spoiled and sheltered where he can literally do whatever the fuck he wants to his apartment-sized room. #I never particularly like depicting Felix as a character who benefits from his father's wealth #largely because I'm caught between that crossroad of not really wanting to depict a rich character #but also you can't divorce that from Felix's narrative and still indulge in him being related to Richard #my favorite depiction is that sure his family is rich. But his father is also incredibly strict. #Felix gets the bare minimum. he gets a room. he gets a bed. he gets a desk. And because Rich is a generous soul... A bookshelf #but this isn't your house boy. And if you want to live here then you have to live by my rules and you have to fulfill my requirements #he has no rights to privacy. he has no rights to a space of his own. he has no rights to pick his hobbies. not while he's living there #and it's all painted in that bright white because if anyone's going to be a minimalist it's going to be Richard Sphinx #no wonder Felix likes to escape into books or hide at the library or spend his time in the park #no wonder he takes so easily to being chat when his life is like this #in Stark contrast to private Jets and literal yacht vacations and the best toys that daddy's money can buy energy that Adrian gives off

Finished White Collar season one

And that's one hell of a cliffhanger

#I'd seen general spoilers so I mostly knew what was gonna happen with the plane #but like. yikes man. #that's rough #I'd feel bad for Neal but I'm also mostly certain Kate isn't dead #(and I never liked her much. she's not written super well or made at all interesting beyond Neal's crush) #forgot how much season cliffhangers annoy me #leverage got me into that mindset lol #of always ending a season in a good way bc you never know if a show will be canaceled #but I know I've got 5 more seasons baybee #also WOW Neal not saying goodbye to Peter bc he could change his mind #fucking gets me dude #white collar #m speaks

of all things to come out of fandom, dw fans trying to claim the hatred of Jodie that is purely misogynistic (as it’s only there because she’s a woman, it has nothing to do with her as a person, it’s literally the definition of misogyny) in No way influenced opinions on the era is the most dangerously naïve and absurd. 

Even when nmd’s (read: MISOGYNSTS. It’s a synonym here.) deliberately conducted review bombing campaigns to make her episodes tank on polls with the express aim of making it seem like everybody hated the episodes, and so new people who might think about watching it will think twice and not do it bc look how shit the ratings are! And therefore drive the general viewer ratings of her episodes down, making it seem like hiring women is not a viable business choice in the future.

Just because you don’t recognise the existence of a long game, doesn’t mean they didn’t. 

Even when the next dude they hire is a damn White Man you think this is in no way routed in the misogynists deliberately hijacking fan spaces with the express and open intent of getting their precious white men back? 

Yeah. Sure. 

#dw shit #russell sure is out here being a misogynists wet dream isn't he #for about 5 different reasons #there are many things i won't forgive him for #this is high on the list #when a chunk of your fans are misogynists like... tell them to fuck off don't cater to them #respect for all the utter misogynistic crap that happened for casting jodie and chibnall going u know what we need? #another woman doctor. #That's what you do to people like that #show them the finger #don't pat them on the head and give it to them gently #look okay i discussed why this is disgusting in regards to the future doctor already. Now this is why it's disgusting to jodie #and women in general. #i did not need the next doctor to be a woman #i needed them not to be a white man

reading other short stories and novels and essays and interviews from sapkowski is so satisfying because not only are these fun to read in of themselves but when my mind returns to the witcher i am like

#i just read maladie :) ive had the translation on hand for a while but only now got around to reading it #so. give it up for: doomed lovers. subverting the legend. love as illness. deathbeds. avalon and the rudderless boat. #i feel like i understand a little sacrifice way more now for some reason. NOT just the love as illness BUT #iseult of the white hands telling tristan that iseult of the golden hair was indeed on the ship in this retelling by sapkowski when #in the general way it goes (as what i gleaned from wikipedia) she lied in jealousy and told him the sails were black #maladie joins the group of 'i thought this would be really difficult to understand without the background knowledge...' #'... but it only took two to three wikipedia pages to make sure i understood what's going on' #and again no i probably didn't catch every reference or even understand perfectly. it's a first read after all #but did i have fun? was i emotionally moved? YES! #after reading tandaradei! i am like 90% more understanding of what he meant by the whole 'eyes of ugly girls' thing from the last wish #me beginning the story and it's going on about how she's not pretty: 'jeez i dont see how that's really relevant man' #me ending the story and it ends like *that*: 'I SEE.... I SEEEEEE i got it OK' #LITERALLY i feel validated though because that was how I INTERPRETED IT... it's about society. her psychology. not her looks. #it's about the CRUELTY OF OTHERS which THEN BECOMES the CRUELTY OF THE GIRL!!! #the 'girl is mistreated. girl goes WILD' recurring story. art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed #come on... it's like carrie x the vvitch x midsommar

I think white trans people only identify with their trans identity and so when you criticize them they think it’s an attack on their transness as whole when that’s just not the case

#rants n rambles #I think white queers in general don’t know how to separate their queer identity from themselves at times and that’s what leads them to only #consume queer stuff which isn’t bad at all but #it makes them look at life through one lense #for example #someone said on a post about James Baldwin “omg I didn’t know he was queer!!!” when in reality he was much more than that #he was a black man #and he was a gay man #because race comes first. it always has thanks to white people #but white queers don’t understand that #that second tag isn’t quite right. they only consume queer stuff because that’s the only “relatable” thing to them #lgbtq community #trans community

do you think if ten existed in a modern au he'd just be called ten

#like one of those nby ppl that name themselves after numbers. #dr who #tenth doctor #if i were to assign him a basic name. i would pick like......james.. or matt... but those still dont fit him for obvious reasons #like 'john smith' is such a good human alias for him in the show bc its so fucking basic and does not fit him AT ALL #and you can tell from the moment he introduces himself with it that hes fucking lying. like thats so clearly an alien that picked a name #out from a 'common names for a white man' generator #10 era

last supper.

It’s a scene that repeats in your dreams ever since that fateful day where you lost your heart.

The dreams were fleeting, always disappearing before your very eyes as you made your choice between the red apple and the tattered doll on the table.

 A red ribbon is wrapped around your neck, with each passing second suffocating you the longer you tried to stall.

The doppelganger before you insists on the apple. He always does.

Your choice is the same every night. You follow what he tells you, unquestioning and afraid, and your dream ends the moment you bite down into the fruit.

Tonight, however, the air is heavy and the ribbon around your neck is tighter.

Momentarily, your hand hovers over the fruit, and he eggs you on.

He’s caught off guard when your hand shifts to the doll instead, damp and dirtied, cold and unloved. 

Its fabric is coarse and its colors have faded. The small head of hair made from torn yarn feels dry and rough, and one of the button eyes have long since disappeared.

“Why?” 

His tone isn’t angry. 

It never was.

It was always gentle and full of unconditional love, and you knew deep down that he only wants what he thought was best for you.

But in the end, he wasn’t you, and you weren’t him.

This was your choice.

“It has no heartbeat,” Your voice is small, like you were a child again. “But it doesn’t mean it’s undeserving of love.”

Your doppelganger sounds like he’s about to cry, taking the apple into his palms and pressing it close to your chest. “Please, I beg you. If this is the only way that you’ll get to live a normal life again, then-”

“I can’t go back to how things used to be,” Though you seek the truth, you know you’re not one to remain rooted in the past. “And I can’t reclaim what I’ve lost. But all I can do for myself now is to accept it, right?”

You hold the doll closer to yourself.

If you take the apple now, eating it until only the core remains, there was no guarantee that you would be the one who would wake up in the morning. 

He means well. 

He always has.

But he doesn’t push further when he hears your resolve.

He glances at the red apple in his palms as it melts into an inky blank goo, spilling onto the marble floors of the dining hall. 

The ribbon on your neck tightens, but even as tears form in the corners of your eyes, you have no regrets.

“It’s always better to die as yourself, huh?” He chuckles bitterly, pressing his hands together in a praying position. “Then I’ll support you as I’ve always had. It’s been nice spending time with you, Slater.”

“Cheren,” You say as your eyes close, drawing your final breath. “My name is Cheren.” 

The thread tightens and tightens, and your vision goes black as you fall into the floor and sink into the growing puddle, where The Heart starts to chant a prayer for you.

#Pokemon #Pokemon AU #Pokemon Fanfic #Pokemon Black and White #Pokemon Black and White 2 #Gym Leader Cheren #((Kinda something to tie in all the symbolism drabbles together?)) #((With the thread and heart and apple and doll.)) #((He has so many symbolisms but I hope I managed to tie them all in together!)) #((Thread is of course red string of fate/destiny but it's around his neck to symbolize The Hanged Man.)) #((And how fate in general is genuinely slowly killing him.)) #((The apple represents not only a heart but also truth! Cheren seeks the truth but like in the other drabble-)) #((He's driven to madness when he finds out what it is.)) #((When he bites into the apple it's poisonous and it kills 'him'.)) #((But it's also metaphorical for how he accepts The Heart as himself and assumes his persona therefore accepting the death of who he is-)) #((-as Cheren Slater.)) #((The Heart wants him to accept it though not out of malice but because he wants Cheren to have his heart again.)) #((He wants him to live a normal life again.)) #((But in the end. Cheren chooses the doll.)) #((Because like him it has no heartbeat. But it doesn't mean it's not deserving of love and gentleness.)) #((And by picking the doll he chooses the true him over his idealized self.)) #((He can't get back what he's lost and he's changed so much.)) #((But he chooses to accept himself and all that he lacks instead of taking the 'easy' way out.))

i was thinking about how lucky we are with how the atmosphere of this website improved. it used to be impossible to avoid shit fandom content like superhero stuffs, reylos, overwatch, disney, etc etc etc. those things have been erased by the passing of time

#the disney star wars movies were the worst of them imo #thousands of white millenial women going crazy over the most badly written man ever (i still dont know if he was they rey or the lo tbh) #its just insane to me that they were sending people racist death threats. over a character like that #and all the movies were so boring visually. and the character writing was dogshit in general. and the plot sucked #the closest thing to that sort of atmosphere weve had recently was that spiderman movie #(which was boring because it was superheros but at least the animation looked cool sometimes) (i didnt watch it) #that shek spinoff was sorta insufferable tho. like oh what if the villain was a fat caricature from the 1950s. #what if the style was still really homogenous but sometimes the framerate dropped a bit for styling. #yaaaawwnwnnnnnnn

I think the disconnect between canon Belos and (a certain genre of) fanon Belos is that in canon he is pathetic (in the dramatic sense) not sympathetic.

#ramblings of a lunatic #like that's the thing he's a tragic character in a sense but he's pitiable in the dramatic sense more than anything else #you pity his codependency and his hypocrisy and his refusal to ever change and his borderline stupidity #(like I get it he's good at machines and hes good at manipulating ppl! but his plans are also kinda stupid and that's on purpose) #(he is a conservative he is charismatic not machiavellian) #but you fully understand that his refusal to ever grow or learn (which is the crux of his. Everything) is his fault #i don't know man I'm just kinda over the fandom conversations around Belos after watching and dreaming #even if it wasn't my first choice or instinct I've made the effort to understand why the writers did his ending the way they did #and i see their pov and I've decided actually. yeah i can see how that works #bc fundamentally while a very important character philip has never been the crux of this story #it has always always been Luz King and Eda. and the amount of ppl who are. deeply pissy about that fact #idk man i don't consider myself like. knowledgeable and conscious enough to accurately identify white bias in fandom #and I'm fully aware that fandom is not praxis and it's generally shitty to insist ppl spend more or less time on certain aspects of media #as if fandom is about filling quotas for HR #but also i can't ignore the fuckin. itchy feeling that ppl really took this man at his word when his main character trait is being A Liar #all bc he's a white guy with long hair #he's cool! i like him! especially now that i remembered the vocabulary featured in this post! i have words to describe my feelings on him! #and also none of this matters bc He Is Not Real and the toh writers are not sniffling and sobbing rn bc some ppl think they did belos dirty #i just have ''opinionated on characters'' disease #and my opinion of philip is that he's a great villain #but ppl willfully ignore WHY he's a great villain (He Is An Interesting Depiction of a Religious Conservative) #in order to invent different and more traditionally sympathetic reasons why he's great (he's just afraid and alone and he feels bad and he) #(you get it) #okay. I'm done #Do Not Read The Fucking Tags
