i just reblogged that post about saying nice things abt prev but i wanna send an ask too, so: thank you for being one of the only people to be correct about the winchester mystery house and sarah herself!! so many people spread the stories of her being weird/crazy/whatever when she was just. a woman who suffered some tragedies and liked architecture.

i went on a tour of graceland recently and was intrigued by how they barely talked about elvis as a person, whereas winchester tours are basically a trap where you think you're getting to explore a weird fucked up house but actually you're going to hear about how wonderful sarah winchester was for an hour and if you say anything mean about her design skills one of the tour guides will push you out the door to nowhere.

i go through your winchester tag sometimes when i'm nostalgic and missing the house (i got laid off during quarantine) and it's just nice to see that even people who didn't devote years of their lives to the house can genuinely understand and appreciate it.

I'm so glad it's gotten better! Someone once anonymously told me the guides had to sign a contract saying they would only stick to the story made up by that ridiculous carnie family that bought her house in the 1920s, and even though it was an anon and therefore unverifiable...I believe it, sadly. For Profits often are more about...well, profit. As opposed to history. But it's good to know the guides care about getting the truth out there.

In Sarah Winchester I see a woman whose character assassination for being different(tm) has carried on after death. It's not that she was perfect- far be it from me to lay perfection at the feet of a white 19th-century gun fortune heiress -but she seems like a genuinely caring person in many ways, about her workers and her community. She was an unattached woman of means with an unconventional hobby (architecture), though, and that seems to have made wagging tongues nervous. During her lifetime that meant claiming she thought she'd live forever if construction never ceased (it did, several times), and after- well. The tale of the mad widow fleeing from invisible ghosts has come to prevail.

It feels unfair to me that she should forever be remembered by what her detractors said about her, instead of her own triumphs and setbacks, merits and flaws. And that her beautiful house, where she poured so much love and attention, should be so misrepresented. I'm glad people are trying to fix the narrative.

#sarah winchester #ask #winchester mystery house #lakesandquarries #spoiler alert for those who didn't know: she was NOT trying to hide from ghosts of Winchester rifle victims #she was just passionate about architecture and had the money to make that her Hobby #it's widely believed among historians that the 'doors and stairs to nowhere' are remnants of house sections destroyed in the #1906 earthquake and never rebuilt #the 'seance room' I've been told is just an attic storage room converted after her death- she would have held seances in the parlor #with tea to follow #like a normal Victorian

hi i hope this isn't weird to receive but i need u to know how insane that undertale art with diamond mine lyrics made me. hop along is one of my fave bands and i adore that song in particular and the way you paired the words with the imagery, especially the locket with "comes around secondhand" is so fucking good. the way the images all kind of bleed together and the colors and the tender hugs at the end....it's SO good thank you for my life

THANK YOU SO MUCH IM HAPPY TO HEAR THAT!!!!! ive wanted to do an undertale animatic/pmv to that song forever but ended up settling on a lyric comic instead n I'm p happy w it!!! i love doing comic pages that don't have strict panels so all the imagery bleeds together its always rly fun to plan compositions for hehe

LOVE the concept of this blog! i've taken up crafts just due to kintypes before (learned to knit thanks to rose although i've discovered i prefer crochet) so I'm very excited to hopefully get some inspiration from this blog! On that note, would you help a Rose Lalonde find some projects to work on? I can sew (haven't used a machine in ages, would love some easy projects to get back into it), crochet, and draw/paint. Plus others but those aren't relevant. Thank you! 💜

THERES THE ASK!!!!

[veryace-ficrecs]

Sanji and Zeff Fic Recs

This list will include all ratings and tags, so read at your own discretion! :)

Right To The Root by Cute_Bear - Rated G

Zeff will carry Sanji on his heart, forever and ever. Or, the life of Sanji and Zeff after their time in the rock, inspired by the song "Hasta la Raíz".

His son's father by caparvisquartet - Rated G

When all is said and done, All Blue discovered and Luffy sacred King of the Pirates, Zeff and Sanji meet again.

How to Dad by IcedMatchaMilk - Not Rated

The former Grand line pirate, Red-leg Zeff, and his journey on becoming a somewhat half decent parent. Navigating the grandline was a whole lot easier.

Baratie's Second in Command by first_rate_fish - Rated T

"It's perfect!” He replied, smiling wide at Zeff. Zeff smiled back at him before standing up and moving to where Sanji sat, placing a comforting hand on top of his head and ruffling his hair when he got close. “Baratie it is then.” ~~~ While recovering from their time spent on the rock, Zeff and Sanji decide to build a restaurant.

Just a little more by charcharizard5 - Rated T

"Almost there. Almost there. Just a little more and they'll stop. They won't hurt you if you do well." Sanji kept swinging the knife, "Just a little more, and maybe he'll love you." Little Sanji learns to use a knife in a different way. It's a lot harder than he thought.

Nightmare Remedies by CryptidCatalogue - Rated G

After Sanji wakes from a nightmare he can’t seem to calm himself down again and goes to Zeff for help. However, what will he do when the old man isn’t there?

Quiet Eggplant by TsarinaTorment - Rated T

When the teenager didn't react to the woman, Zeff knew something was wrong.

Caring, Not Careless by EclecticIsMyMiddleName - Rated G

Even as a little kid, Sanji was stubborn as hell. For the past three days, he's been staying up too late in the kitchen to get more work done. And every time, Zeff has had to drag the brat's behind back to bed. As much as he'll complain about it, Zeff doesn't entirely hate it. Set shortly after Baratie opens, when it's just Sanji and Zeff running it.

Cause for Concern by kaeyuh - Rated T

It worried everyone to no end when at age 15, Sanji came home smelling like cigarette smoke. Asking was no use, Sanji would brush it off as if it were just another night terror, or as if it were a small burn, he got while cooking. So, they just let him be. For the longest time, no one mentioned how Sanji would sneak out on deck, how he would light up a cigarette, how he would eat less. Until today.

try it again (breathing's just a rhythm) by lakesandquarries - Rated G

Zeff never set out to be a dad, but he's doing his best. Oneshot collection of Sanji and Zeff navigating a father/son relationship.

Nightmares by orphan_account - Rated G

When Zeff had first met him, Sanji was crying, but those tears were filled with an unmoving determination to not let his dreams be crushed- that's what Zeff had first seen in him. Now was different, now his eyes were overflowing with raw, unfettered pain and silent pleas for help that Zeff was clueless how to answer.

Little Eggplant by Airuna - Rated G

The little eggplant is weird. Zeff kind of likes him anyway. Or Zeff tries to figure out Sanji while they built a home together.

Blood of the Covenant by kiite - Rated T

Zeff never wanted a kid. A restaurant, sure— but he hadn’t planned for the kid. (Or: a brief look at Sanji’s childhood, through the eyes of the man who raised him.)

News of the World by AzWrites - Rated G

There's no eggplant in the paper. There is, however, Monkey D. Luffy, splashed on the front page. He looks like he's praying, in front of what Zeff assumes is his brother's grave, and there is something written and crossed and written again on his arm. The letters and numbers don't mean anything. Or maybe they do, and Zeff is just not who the message is for. Once again, Luffy is alone. Or he's not, not really, because he came back to Marineford with Gold Roger's first mate and a former Warlord, somehow. But once again, his crew isn't with him. In Zeff's book, that means he's alone. Zeff wonders where Sanji is. Whether Sanji is still alive. --- Or: A pirate crew keeps getting into trouble or making trouble everywhere they go, and a restaurant owner tries his best to understand what the hell his kid is doing

[i-am-minty-fresh]

My One Piece headcanons (mostly just me projecting) with some Fanfics that inspired this:

!Warning!: Self-Harm, ED, and Suicide mentioned!

Luffy is audhd (autism and ADHD) who’s special interest is beetles (and bugs generally but mostly beetles).

[Inspiration: look at him. He couldn’t pick between an atlas beetle and the One Piece, bro].

Zoro has OCD. Guy does everything in threes. $5 says he has to open the door to the crows nest just right or he can’t go in.

[Inspiration: @beanghostprincess ‘Zoro always kisses Luffy in threes’ post].

Nami doesn’t always like being called “our navigator” because it reminds her of Arlong.

[Inspiration: ‘i’m not yours by @lakesandquarries].

Usopp has got clinical depression and has attempted suicide.

[Inspiration: ‘marked by truth’ and ‘bad day’ by SaltyYagi].

Sanji has a non-specific eating disorder due his OCD.

[Inspiration: ‘No waste’ by Plumy].

Chopper can’t eat mushrooms. It reminds him too much of Hiriluk.

[Inspiration: Just the show].

Robin has got a lot of cuts along her arms because of her devil fruit.

[Inspiration: ‘First Scar’ by Vagabonde]

Franky can’t really feel pain consistently due to his robotics so repairing his squishy bits is a real pain.

[Inspiration: ‘explorations of a cyborg's relationship to the sense of touch’ by viscountfrancisbacon]

Brook has got survivors guilt/suicidal ideation whenever he gets lonely.

[Inspiration: ‘nobody’ by CallMeLex & ‘I Can't Go On (Shut Up!)’ by KazimaKuwabara]

Jimbei takes care of Luffy. I know it’s a given but @whirlybirdwhat ‘s fic ‘all the scars we share’ has me FEELING things okay! The crew dynamic, Jimbei being fish dad, Luffy being a silly little guy…it’s got it all!

Thanks for the tag @fivedayslater !!

RULES: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

Oh god... I haven't cleaned that out in ages... most of the non one piece ones are abandoned unfortunately :") - I'll still put the rest in the "read more" bar in case anyone is interested but it's probably best to stick with the op ones lmao

been insane about the au where law and nami grow up as siblings🤪 thank you @lakesandquarries for giving me the brain worms🤝

[image ids: six sketchy digital drawings. the first two are more realistic and detailed and depict nami and law at ages 20 and 26. law has vitiligo and nami has lots of freckles. in the first, law is resting his head on nami's lap, and nami has her hands on his shoulder and his hat with a soft, concerned expression. in the second, nami and law are wrapped in a blanket, nami is fast asleep, and law has his arm around her protectively. nami is wearing a t-shirt and law doesn't have his hat. the other four images are simple doodles of law, nami, and nojiko at ages 12, 6, and 8, with corazón and bellemère as their parents. law's vitiligo pattern is slightly different. nami has messy hair. the first shows cora grinning with his feather coat opened up to reveal big pockets that nami and nojiko are playing in. the second shows all the kids standing and smiling with their names and ages labeled. the third shows bellemère giving law a smooch on the temple with both her arms wrapped around him. law looks a little embarrassed but still accepts the love with a wiggly mouth and blush. law has an arrow pointing to him that says "hat hair." the last one shows the whole family sleeping together wrapped up in cora's coat. nojiko is sleeping on bellemère's lap, nami is sleeping in law's lap, and bellemère is holding both cora's and nojiko's hands. cora and bellemère are smiling. /end id.]

Your partners will always objectively deserve better than anything you can ever be.

Oh nooooo you completely shattered my sense of pride and self love oooooohhh what paiiiin what sufferiiiiiing oh noooo- wait hold on my partner of over 2 years is on the phone. hey, hi @lakesandquarries ! what, you got smt to say to that rude little anon and my fellow aro ppl? oh yeah go ahead!

-

Hello there! I’m the ace partner mentioned in this comic from my bf, and you should shut the fuck up!

I have a lot of trauma surrounding relationships. I’ve had some pretty bad ones, including an ex who broke up with me less than six months after proposing. When Joël first realized he was aro, I remember him crying because he was so scared of hurting me like my ex did. The thing is, him being aro has only ever made me feel more secure in our relationship!

Do you ever see those straight couples who say they’re in love but don’t even seem to like each other? They have romantic attraction, sure. But personally, that’s the least important thing to me.

My ex was romantically attracted to me. They left anyway. Joël isn’t, but every single day, he chooses to be with me. He chooses to care for me, to love me in his way, and that is so much more meaningful. He’s the best partner I could ask for. I don’t “deserve better” because “better” doesn’t exist. Joël is perfect exactly as he is.

To any aros in relationships worried about this: your love is enough. The way you care is good and beautiful, and you don’t need to change who you are to fit society’s expectation. I love Joël not in spite of his aromanticism but because of it, because it’s part of what makes him the caring, wonderful person that he is. His love may not be romantic, but what does that matter? He’s still the one to hold me when I’m having a panic attack, to comfort me after a bad day, to care for me in so many ways that I can’t even mention them all. There is no better for me to deserve. His love is enough.

You, however, deserve to shut the fuck up and leave aro people alone forever. 💜

Wow, what an amazing person they are, huh ;v; <3 (god dammit I care abt them so much), thanks Cora! Let's keep being proud fellow aros, and let this message from my partner give you reassurance AND comfort in case you currently are or want to be in a relationship of any kind!!!!
