Saw your Mishanks bodyswap art! Very cute and fun! (Mihawk with a genuine smile on his face so so fun)
I imagine Shanks whould have trouble fighting in Mihawk's body at first since it's been years since he's had two arms
yes absolutely, i imagine that too! conversely, i think mihawk would have a little bit of trouble adjusting his balance and reach with a body missing one arm, as well. it's interesting to think about how they both would be forced to change their fighting style, and whether or not they would exchange swords.
mihawk's been seen using yoru with just one hand so he could probably pull it off with shanks's body. also interesting to think about shanks tripping up on having two arms until he naturally slips into his old fighting style again--or would he? because there's also the question of muscle memory, right? would mihawk's body automatically do things that shanks isn't predisposed to doing, and vice versa?
the other thing i find intriguing about body swapping in one piece is the question of whether or not your haki powers would switch as well. they say haki is spiritual presence, so presumably your haki switches if your spirits switch, but if it's the kind of spirit that's tethered to the presence of the body? then consider mihawk having the strongest conqueror's haki out on the blues, or shanks being able to use observation haki at mihawk's level, practically being able to predict the future--or mihawk, able to counter with shanks's haki-kill technique. food for thought!
Well, they did it! Coming soon! It's gonna be an experience, y'all. I am torn between fear and excitement... mostly fear. "My name is Kon Diao and I'm afraid of being alone. And the person who makes me feel more than before is... Hia Yi, my fiance.' oh darling I love you so much. @absolutebl They're back! With fake amnesia as the trope of the day. Fake amnesia and manipulation. We got this, right?
I was tagged by @negrowhat and ngl. I thought 10. Do I have enough? cause their's only a few that I want "Carnally," so I really had to think some maybe surprise and non surprising if you know already, lol
I'm not sure who did it, so if want, pls do so! But if you did then you can ignore @yilinggusu @sunshinechay @fluidsoul31 @fortpeat @crapyouknowme @scarefox @frostluvrs
Knowing ForceBook and JimmySea talked fondly about and adore Winny & Satang during today's LOL FanFest Press Tour...also that Jimmy wanted to have a stage collab with WinnySatang... You heard them GMM, you better give one.

Clipping this because it's a cute and important moment for Porsche - with Yok (his surrogate mom) and Jom (drunk best friend) both helping him to admit that he's fallen in love with Kinn
But also - do Porsche and Jom call Yok 'Je' here?
In Perth's YouTube video on Thai honorifics, he says that 'Je' is the female equivalent of 'Hia' and it's used to refer to Thai people with Chinese ancestry who are older than you (in place of 'Phi'), with the literal meaning of 'older sister'.
Now, with just that definition, characters calling Yok 'Je' doesn't mean much, but it seems to me that 'Hia' is used fairly sparingly in the show - I mostly only notice Chay using it for Porsche, and Gun (sometimes) using it for Korn. So, I'm wondering if the writers used Hia/Je when they wanted to highlight a family relationship - for Chay and Porsche (and Porsche, Jom, and Yok?) it emphasizes their closeness, while for Gun and Korn it reminds us that they are brothers, even when they're at each others' throats...
(But then, I don't speak Thai and I'm really just going off of the words I can pick up - I could totally be missing other instances of both Hia and Je throughout the show. If anyone has any insights about this, please let me know!)
