THIS! This tag game seems so fun! Made by the amazing @ronald-speirs!
Favorite place in the world you’ve visited?
That would be either the alps in Germany or the Salinas beach, here in Brazil! I adored both the snow and thes amount of stuff i find at the beach there
Something you’re proud of yourself for?
The amount of progress I made since being diagnosed with autism, depression and anxiety. Even if I stopped going to therapy, I feel like the diagnosis (esspecially the autism one) shed so much light on my life, and I was able to makes the world around me (even if just at home) more confortable for myself by understanding myself more and adjusting the way I do things so it's easier on me.
Favorite books?
Hmmmmm let's see- the Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children series, obviously, but I also LOVE The Book Thief, American Gods and definetely Warrior Cats (I only read the first arc, so Idk how good's the rest xD)
Something that makes your heart happy when thinking about it?
My dog and my characters! Love them :]
Favorite thing about your culture?
Hmmmmmm probably food? But I'm extremely picky so I don't even eat most of our stuff 💀 i do love feijoada, brigadeiro, pastel and coxinha tho- Idk about the rest KAKAKAKA other than that, the slangs. So cool. Love it
When did you join the HBO War fandom? What was the first show you watched?
Back at the end of 2022 or early 2023 was when I first heard about it, but as for officially joining...? Probably like. 5 or 6 months ago? I have no idea what time even is-
The first show was Band of Brothers :D
Have you read any of Easy Company’s books? If so, which ones were your favorite?
Nope. And won't.
Favorite HBO War character and your favorite moment with them?
Webster. Him shoving himself on the ground was the best. Just like me fr💕
Do you make content for any fandoms, if so; what sort of content?
Uhhhhh I make memes and occasionally fanart? I wouldn't classify this as content but when I'm really into something I take some aspects of it for my own world, so I can always keep it close to me, even if the hyperfixation faded a bit with time
Favorite actor/actress and your favorite film of theirs?
I know no one- but I do like Bud Spencer and Terence Hill's movies. They are the only actors I know the name of 💀 I like the funny coeboy movies, many good memories watching them with dad when I was a kid (and still doing so, every now and then)
Favorite quote/s that you wish to share with others?
"I'll beat you with a dead cat 'till it starts mewing" - a popular brazilian saying (the best ever)
Random fact your mutuals/followers don’t know about you?
HmmmmmmmmI share so much about myself that I don't even know 💀 probably that I once fell facefirst on a river when I was 4, while I was fishing? That was A Day
If you’re a writer, do you need a beta reader (say yes so I can be your beta reader 🤭)?
I don't write much but!! I did write something yesterday about my characters and idk if I should post, but if you're interested, I can show you :D
Three things that make you smile?
My dog, my characters, birds
Any nicknames you like?
Based off my real name I like "Rah", but only when used irl. As for the internet, I love Pretz! And I have a special one my best friend @isazmoon gave me, which is Pretzu, but this ones I feel like it's only hers :3
List some people you love to see around on tumblr!
@1waveshortofashipwreck @xxluckystrike @ronald-speirs @ronsparky @minha-xuh @whollyjoly @sweetxvanixlla!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! AMAZING PEOPLE!!
What would you do during a zombie apocalypse?
What would I live for, my stupid ass can't even run 😭 i'd die fast as fuck. And I know all my friendswould die too so we all just perish together 💕💕💕 friendship goals
Favorite movie?
How To Train Your Dragon? Wolfwalkers? Saving Private Ryan? Pirates of the Caribbean? Can't probably choose only one, it's torture
Do you like horror movies?
Ehh, not much? I prefer animations
Tags (no pressure): @xxluckystrike @whollyjoly @ronsparky @sweetxvanixlla @grumpy-liebgott @1waveshortofashipwreck @blueberry-ovaries @minha-xuh (hey Gih, if you want you can take off the HBOwar bits and/or replace them with MPHFPC, since you're from another fandom, feel free!)

Hey bestie heeeeeey~
I'm officially caught up with MOC so now I can tell you my feelings~
So, first of all, how dare you? There's no reason for the emotional whiplash I experienced reading this monstrosity (positive with all the love and respect in the world i promise) yet here i am... a further damaged woman lmfao
But forreal though, you have a great ability to pull emotions out of your readers and thats just amazing in my eyes, especially as a fellow writer myself :') theres nothing I love more than making the ppl who read my own fics suffer emotionally so congrats to you!
I love how you write everyone in the story, they are so incredibly flawed and fucked up and human that it just makes me shed a tear. Thats why MC frustrates the HELL out of me, even though I adore her. Her flaws make my ass itch but all i want for her is to heal and be happy in the end (same with the others! I be wanting to punch the shit outta them sometimes 😭)
ESPECIALLY Hongjoong cause my guy is just unhinged but i love his character the most honestly because unhinged is hot to me. Im still kicking my feet and twirling my hair lmao
The relationships are so real and just... messy. Messy messy in the best way. But i just have to cheer them all on.
That chapter when mc and yeosang banged I was quite literally going bonkers like HELLO?????????????? I didnt expect that but now i want more of it cause their dynamic (especially when it comes to wooyoung) is so juicy
MC is such a tragic character and I feel for her the most. I love how we started off thinking Jisung was this great person but turns out that hes a fucking lunatic. You, Caly literally manipulated us into thinking so, like how Jisung manipulated MC and idk if that was intentional or not but it was brilliant. And Hyunwoo turning out to be like *that* was a punch in the gut. MC being betrayed by the ppl she cared for so much makes her question everything on the crew, especially Hongjoong and that's why I cant be too frustrated with her lol
I dont want this ask to be so long cause i can go in about every little detail 😭 but youve dont such an amazing job. The world building is beautiful, and i dont rly read a lot of scifi like fictions set in space, but when i first got into ateez the first thing i thought of were pirates / space pirates and i even started my own fic with that premise bc i cant help myself but be self indulgent trash so 🤷🏼‍♀️ but thats beside the point
I cant wait to read more of this masterpiece and see how things go. I want everyone to be happy cause you are putting them through the fucking ringer 😭😭😭 please go easy on them I cant take more of this 😭😭😭😭
hehe emotional whiplash is my specialty!!! i too am very much damaged after writing moc. and the damage will continue. for the good of the plot!!!
i'm so touched you think so, i really love evoking emotion out of the reader in my works and i'm glad that im effective in doing so <3 one of my goals from the start of writing moc was to create an mc who isn't always likable or enjoyable to read bc i find those sorts of stories unrealistic and sometimes boring, because even tho the setting is very much not real, having characters who do feel real has always been huge to me! i love creating characters who have peaks and valleys, who grow and stumble along the way, and to really show a journey of growth!! hongjoong is just. pure insanity at its finest LOL he's gonna take a lot to fix but we'll see!
i honestly had way too much fun writing that chapter too, i love love looooooove a good hatefuck and it was just too tempting to NOT do >.<
it was fully intentional to sort of bring the readers in on the manipulation yes hehe! i like playing my cards very close to my chest and not giving anything away until the absolute last second i can!!! i think you hit on something lots of people who want her to just give into hongjoong forget - she's experienced so much betrayal from the people she trusted most and that does really stick in the brain and cause lasting trauma, and our poor mc is deeply traumatized by many things that have happened to her! it only makes sense for her to be retaliating and distrustful of those around her in these circumstances!!
thank you so much for enjoying everything so far and for all the lovely compliments they really mean so much to me i cherish them a lot 🥹🥹❤️❤️

Daughter of the Honorable Thief – Harry Hook x reader – part 4 – pranks and daggers

Tumblr media Tumblr media
 ---(y/n) POV---
Later that night, you snuck around the dorm building, searching for mals room, with Elizabeth (erza for short), daughter of Will Scarlet, at your heels.
“are ya sure about this hood? I mean, this is mal! What if she?!”
You turned to Erza, a grin on your face, “why are you doubting me~ she’ll never even know it was me!”
erza pouted, “im not doubting ya! im just saying that she might put the blame on Uma! And you don’t want that do ya?” she whisper-shouted at you.
You snickered and pinched her cheeks, she scowled and smacked your hand away, rubbing her cheek
“she's not gonna put the blame on Uma because Uma wouldn’t have thought of this~”
Erza raised her brow, confused “what exactly are ya plannen?”
You grinned like a shark, flipping open your messenger bag, and revealing the prank.
“holy shit hood yer evil!”
You cackled silently, as you arrived at mals dorm, and easily snuck in.
Soon finishing your work, you quickly exited the room and made your way to Mals locker, and hurriedly placed your prank in place, before relocking her locker and sneaking back to your room.
“you’re an evil genius Hood”
“why thank you Erza, I try~”
----
Mal woke the next morning, expecting it to be like any other day.
She was about to be sorely mistaken.
As she stepped out of her bed, she didn’t notice the colorful plastic balls surrounding her bed, she squealed as she stumbled back onto her bed.
“what the fuck?!”
Evie sprung up from her bed, blinking away the sleep from her eyes, “Mal? Is everything alright?”
Mal snarled, chucking a blue plastic ball across the room.
“someone decided it would be fun to surround my bed with those balls that go in ball pits and shit.”
Evie rubbed her eyes and glanced down, there was a cardboard barrier surrounding Mals bed, containing the plastic balls. She raised her brow, ‘well at least im not involved in the mess’ she thought as she glanced around her bed, seeing no border or plastic balls.
“well, at least they put a border around it so its easy clean up”
Mal sighed, still pissed but Evie had a point.
Lifting herself up off the bed once more, she stepped over the border and made her way into the bathroom.
As she brushed her teeth, she heard evie call her name
“Mal? You might wanna look at this”
“wha?” Mal leaned out of the bathroom, seeing Evie pointing at a picture of her and Ben, and….their faces were taped over with…. Nicolas Cages face.
“what. The. Fuck.”
Glancing over her other pictures, everybody's faces were taped over with Nicolas Cage's face.
“seriously what the fuck!!!”
Mal screeched as she gripped the frame and ripped off the faces.
Evie snickered silently in the background, walking into the bathroom to brush her own teeth.
“Uma is going to fucking pay.” Evie stopped, Uma? When did she come into the conversation?
“are you sure Uma did this?” Evie spoke through her toothpaste, leaning out the bathroom door
Mal whipped around, her eyes glowing green, “who else would do this!!??”
Evie shrugged “I don’t know but Uma doesn’t seem like she has the patience to do this, ya know, taping down Nicolas Cage's face on all your photos, and carefully placing a ball pit around your bed? I don’t know but that doesn’t seem like Uma, shed more go for ruining your hair or one of your outfits, not do something that can be easily reversed.”
Mals eyes softened, yeah, yeah okay, this isn’t something Uma would do, but if she didn’t do it…who did?
Evie sighed, knowing Mal was going through a mental list of cuprites, so she quickly intervened and gathered her clothes, tossing one of the plastic balls at Mals butt.
“come on M! its breakfast time and I don’t want to miss my French toast!”
Mal rolled her eyes and nodded, digging through her closet and quickly grabbing an outfit.
“Alright, im going to take a quick shower tho”
Evie nodded, already halfway done with her makeup, she had taken a shower the night before.
“Alright, see you in the café”
----
Mal sighed as she walked to her locker, leaning into Carlos's side with their arms locked, she had been strangely clingy to Carlos today, but he didn’t seem to mind.
Separating from him, she made her way to her locker, entering her combination, she opened it….only for her jaw to drop and a horse scream rip from her throat.
“what the fuck?!”
Her ENTIRE locker was COVERED in Nicolas Cage's face, mal just stood in furious silence as she stared at the hundreds of faces.
“holy shit mal” Carlos voice came from behind her, laughter behind his tone “someone is  committed to a prank”
Mal huffed and grabbed her books, slamming her locker closed, placing her books in her bag, locking her arms with Carlos and Evie, and storming off to their first class.
---
Uma jumped in surprise when she heard mals scream. She whirled around and had to stop herself from bursting out laughing.
(y/n) had plastered Nicolas Cage’s face all over mals locker, holy shit!
“holy shit (y/n) went hard” she mumbled, not wanting Mal to hear her.
Harry and Gil turned at that when they saw it Gil just blinked in surprise, and Harry had to stuff his face in his bag to stifle his laughter.
“wow,” gil whistled, watching mal slam her locker closed and storm away.
“holy shite!! Lassie went ham!!” Harry finally let out his laughter leaning against his locker trying to catch his breath.
“Ya know mate if ya keep laughing like tha people are gonna think ya did the prank”
Uma turned to the new voice, and there was (y/n) and a girl with brown hair styled in an undercut, freckles dusting her face. Her amber eyes, sparkling with mischief.
Tumblr media
“who are you?” Uma grumbled, smacking Harry's shoulder as he composed himself, taking (y/n)s hand and kissing it, she snorted and tugged her hand away, flicking his nose.
The girl smiled and bowed, smirking up at Uma, “Erza Scarlet, at yer service”
(y/n) patted Ezra's shoulder grinning at the three pirate teens, “yeah this is one of my childhood best friends, she's the daughter of Will Scarlet.”
Erza smiled, “Scarlet’s me and my dad's middle name, my full name is Elizabeth Scarlet O'Hara”
Uma, Harry, and Gil glanced at each other, odd name.
Erza winked “we’re from Georgia”
(y/n) nodded, gesturing to Erza with her hands, “shes deadly with her daggers, just like her dad”
“oh really~” Uma sang, raising her brow “how about you show us something?”
Erzas face brightened “gladly, Hood? can you?”
(y/n) rolled her eyes and turned to her locker, unlocking it and retrieving one of her compact bows, and an aluminum arrow. (yea I know, weird stuff to keep in your locker)
“whoa whoa whoa, wha is this?” Harry hurriedly asked, stepping forward slightly.
(y/n) sighed and flicked her arm, releasing the mechanisms keeping the bow folded, “don’t worry, she knows what she's doing, those daggers of hers are made of a Vibranium/steel alloy, ya know, the same stuff that captain Americas shield is made of? They can cut through anything, including my aluminum arrows.”
Harry nodded unsurely but backed up.
Erza grinned and stood several feet away from (y/n), “alright Hood ya know the drill, now fire an ‘arrow, straight at my ‘eart”
(y/n) rolled her eyes, loading her arrow. “are you sure about this?” Uma interrupted, now regretting asking for a demonstration.
Erza winked at Uma, “absolutely.” A flash of metal and her daggers spun around her palms, before stopping in her grip.
(y/n) sighed, drawing back the string, “ya know one day your gonna be too slow and im gonna get your heart”
(y/n) released her arrow, and in a flash of steel/Vibranium, the arrow was now in ribbons at Erzas feet.
Umas jaw dropped, along with Harry and Gils.
“holy fuck what part of Georgia are you from? Southcentral!?”
Erza smirked and sheathed her daggers, wiping her hands clean from the metal shavings.
“well,” (y/n) mumbled, collapsing her bow once more, storing it in her locker “that was fun, now I think its time for class.”
The sea three glanced at the clock on the wall and paled, only one minute to get to class.
“shit!!”
--- end of part 4 ---
Comment or message me for part 5
   a/n: as I was writing this, I got the news that Cameron Boyce died, he was and is a loved actor and human being, and he will be missed, we loved the way he brought Carlos to life, and he will never be the same again.
Love you Cameron, and may your memory be a blessing.

12 april 2013 Okay, just came home from my concert with D. I started listening to them 2008 and I used to listen to them every day the last months in Japan back then, when going back and forth between school. Now I've finally seen them live. And what a live it was!! It was a bit tricky to find my way, and when I was looking at a map when I was where I had thought it was (but it wasn't), a kind japanese woman in visual kei-ish clothes came up to me and asked "May I help you?" whereupon I answered that I can speak japanese, haha. I then said where I wanted to go, and, ofc, she was also going to D's live! So we went together. Thank you, kind woman, you were a great help!! There were Visual Kei, goth and lolita people EVERYWHERE. Holyyyyyyyy shit. Everyone were so beautiful!! Woah!!! It was my first time going to a visual kei concert in Japan (i've been to several in europe tho), and let me tell you that it was very different... Either way, the lady asked me if I had the flags with me, and I was like what flags? And well, I found out when they started, that they were all having flags... all people in the audience. Two little flags in black and red. And they were waving them in a very special pattern along with the music, and they knew EXACTLY when to do what move! It was... wow. Like when the hell did they practice that? In came all the band members one by one, recieved applauses, and went to their instrument... And last, came Asagi. My dear Asagi. The theme right now is Pirates, so he was dressed fully in a captain's goth pirate outfit, and was carrying a huge D flag. He was absolutely absolutely lovely. <3 <3 <3 During some other songs he also had a pistol that he pointed at us, hehe, and also a telescope that he pointed at us while saying "I can see you veery clearly..." omg. And at one point he also was carring a camera with the microphone, and at the back there was a projector where we could see, live, what he was filming! He used it especially when he had told us to do The Wave. He sweeped the camera over the crowd and the crowd would jump when the camera filmed them. I was on the second floor in the middle kinda, so I doubt I will be on the live DVD later, oh well. Either way, when they were playing normal songs that didn't use flags or stuff, all the people were still DANCING. In UNISON. They had little moves with their hands that they would do at certain points in the songs. ALL. OF. THEM. HOW DID THEY KNOW!? How did they know it all!? The lady who showed me the way said that someone of the band members had said on their twitter to people not to forget their flags, but seriously, what? Do I have to check their twitter to know that I should bring flags? Where am I even supposed to learn the silly little moves in each song? By going to all lives? Watching earlier live DVDs? XD It was absolutely hilarious, embarassing, boring and funny all at the same time. The moves were basically like crossing you hands in front of your chest, putting them up in the air, one hand in the air, and stuff like that. At first I thought they were way too silly, but after a while I joined in - it was better than doing nothing. Oh and they even had timed HEADBANGING at some points in some songs. Yeah. Lolitas headbanging. I never thought I'd get to see that. Needless to say I joined in a few times. But seriously, there were a lot of times when I felt like headbanging but it wasn't that point in the song and they were doing some other little silly dance in the audience, meh. I stood between two very petite little japanese girls in half-lolita clothes. They looked absolutely out of place, but they knew each silly dance by heart, wow. O_O; And one of them headbanged like I've never seen anyone headbang before, daaayumn gurl! Seriously, seeing so many people dance little silly upper-body-dances together to a Visual Kei band.... seriously. When the drummer were using both his feet on the big drum, the audience were like treading their hands in the air slightly... I felt so much like jumping and putting up my hands or something, but nooo, I had to tread my hands in front of me a little bit at the most hardcore parts of their songs. Meh! We also recieved a Rose Pen each at the entrance when we handed in our tickets, it was actually to fill in a poll thingie but I never did it (didn't have time afterwards as I rushed out to buy goodies)... and one song we used the Rose pens instead of the flags :D Finally I could join in, haha. I got a nice red Rose Pen. Oh, and, actually, since this was also a live where they released a new single, they of course played the new songs (the b-side too).... And then we had to use the flags (I used my hands), and Asagi actually showed us the dance. We practiced with him. It was so cute ;_; Perhaps that's how they learn the silly dances? Either way, the performance itself.... They played a lot of nice songs, and MY FAVOURITE SONGS!!!! OMG!!! Since they're in the Pirate theme now I never thought they'd repeat old songs, but YES they did! They played "Vampire Missa", "Yami yoru kurai doukoku no a capella etc", and "Der König die Dunkelheit" too!!!!!   The last two there are two of my favourite songs, oh my god, I was so happy!!! I've seen them sing them live, oh my goooooooood!!! They were also having some videos playing on their backdrop, like a rose blooming and some other small stuff like that. One of the slower songs, they had the sky in the background and had a lot of smoke coming out. They were also talking quite a lot, mostly Asagi of course. Oh god his voice is so nice, I could listen to it forever and not get tired.... He was mostly talking about how grateful he is to all his fans and so on, since it was their 10th anniversary special premium live that I went to (thus why there were decided seats). Also at the end he passed around the mic to all the band members so they could say something each. They were mostly thanking us fans and saying how awesome it is to be able to see 10 years as a band. Asagi also said some beautiful words, like, "This moment only comes once. So make sure you appreciate this moment the most. Noone knows what comes in the future. Appreciate what you have now." or similar. I couldn't help but shed some tears, as that fits perfectly to what I feel right now... I also recorded a minute or two during the live. It wasn't allowed of course, and I will NEVER post it online ever, but I wanted desperately to savour the (most likely) only moment I'll see this awesome band live ever. There were no guards on the second floor and it was also kind of half-empty so I took my chance, mwehehhe. They also did like two or three encores, and before the first one, they had the Big Announcement that they had promised..... And the  Big Annoucments, rolling on the screen, was a summer all-country tour, a SMARTPHONE GAME based on their Vampire Saga arc that will be out INTERNATIONALLY OH MYYY GOOOD, and also that they will sign with another label and go Major Label, omg!! So happy for them!! They were also PERHAPS hinting at a world live?? It's very possible at least. It was so fun to hear Asagi chuckle when he commented on the game later, haha. His laugh is so refined and beautiful, with a low and nice voice. <3 After another encore (they played the Vampire Saga themed songs then, like I said; Der König Der Dunkelheit and also In the name of Justice, since they had just announced the Vampire Saga mobile game), they came out with CHAMPAGNE!! (that you could buy afterwards too) and we all cheered for them as they celebrated with us. <3 As they went off stage (twice or thrice just to come back for another encore) they waved to us all, and Asagi pointed his microphone at us and we screamed, I screamed his name so many times so high, wow. Asagi. <3 Asagi!! Asagi!!! There was also a nice moment when all of us sang... like, the band sang a song, then got quiet, and we all continued singing in unison while Asagi directed the microphone towards us. It was very beautiful.... And glitter. Glitter everywhere at the end, they had so much glitter raining down on them, ahaha, and some shot out into the audience too. I couldn't grab any though. And, at the very end, before going out the last time, Asagi came out with a chest full of red roses, real roses. They all them threw them out into the audience - Asagi kissed his roses before throwing them out. I was on the 2nd floor like I said, so I could only stand and watch :\ Oh, and Kamijo and Moi Dix Mois had sent them flowers to congratulate their 10 year anniversary (japanese do that to each other, one company to another or similar stuff). The huge bouquets were by the entrance. Let me just say that I've been playing this video and song on repeat for some days now: http://youtu.be/zf0w16UZf6o . That song is pure love. And when they started playing the intro... omg I just died right then and there and screamed so much... I didn't think they'd play it at all, oh my god yes. So all in all, it was an absolutely awesome night, I cired, I smiled, I laughed, I screamed. D, and especially Asagi - thank you for being so amazing. Thank you. I love you, forever.
This is the live I went to:

how about 👑 and 💐 for elora?
👑 If your OC was made royal (or is royal) how would they use their power? Are they a good leader or bad? Do their subjects like them or is it ‘off with their head’? Do they enjoy being royal? 
ooo fun question! okay so b4 anything i can say that elora isnt actually royalty or even nobility, she just had enough money from her Pirate days to b able to pretend to be one. and speaking of her pirate days, she has been in leadership positions b4, as captain of the starseeker crew. i can say that elora’s never been much of the Iron Fist kinda ruler. that isn’t to say she’s never thrown her weight around, but she mostly prefers to solve inner crew conflicts thru her words (humor etc). it tends to work out pretty well for her since eloras pretty charismatic. most of the ppl in her crew liked her due to her boldness, confidence, and ability to take charge. plus eloras just a lot of fun. though im sure some of her crew had problems w/ her, mostly because of her carefree attitude, some thought she wasnt taking her job as a captain seriously enough 
as royalty i imagine it’d be much of the same except eloras a good actor and wouldnt mind pretending to be more ~*proper than she is if it means she can get that $$$, and that’d be her favorite part of it sdfdsgs. just having enough money to buy whatever her heart desires. dealing w/ the politics of it / dealing with nobility in general though would bore / annoy the hell out of her, the same as it did when she was pretending to be noble. so there’d be pluses and minuses, though i mean if u told her “hey wanna be royalty” shed be like “uh, yeah?”
💐 Does your OC like flowers? What are their favourites? Do they keep a garden of some sort? What flowers would they use in a flower crown? (and if you like, research the meanings behind those flowers!)
elora thinks flowers are nice, yeah, but its a very Surface level interest. like elora thinks flowers are pretty, likes getting them as a gift, but that’s about it sdfsdgs she doesnt know the meaning of flowers, or anything like that. however, she has been learning a bit about gardening as of late, because she and arahana manage a lil garden at their cabin. its not rly a flower garden tho, its for food
i tend to associate forget me nots w/ elora though, and whenever i see her in a flower crown, i always picture those
thank u!!! :D

INTERVIEW/EXCERPT TAKEN FROM ONE PIECE MAGAZINE VOL. 2
Sandman has translated magazine vol.2 interview: Here is my summary for ONE PIECE Magazine volume 2 except for Ace novel and editors' short interview. - After becoming a mangaka, Oda noticed that his imagination ability of creating various stories is based on Rakugo, Japanese verbal entertainment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakugo https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=落語 - Oda has been enjoying Rakugo ever since he was in elementary school. When Oda's friends in junior high school came to his house, he played a cassette tape of Rakugo to entertain them, but all of them got bored in 5 minutes. - Oda started listening to Rakugo since his parents enjoyed Rakugo via cassette tapes. On the other hand, his elder sister didn't get attracted to it. He even listened to Rakugo right before sleeping. Oda remembers he was an elementary school kid who fell into asleep thanks to middle-aged man's voice.lol - When Oda was around 12/13 years old, he was very glad that his parents kindly bought a ticket for Rakugo show in Kumamoto for his birthday present. - Oda meets Kosanji Yanagiya, one of the best Rakugo performer, once a year in Studio Ghibli. Toshio Suzuki, producer of Ghibli, invites Oda to his Rakugo event every year. - Oda believes he has never run out of ideas about ONE PIECE story because he knows a lot about classic Rakugo/film/Jidaigeki which survived the test of time. - Oda devoted himself to watching films in high school/college days. He watched 3 films per day. He got bored with current films soon and started focusing on classics. - Oda thinks perhaps the sound effect "Don!!" (ドン!!) in ONE PIECE is based on actors' overacting in classic Jidaigeki. Oda says he wants his audience to pay attention to the "Don!!" panel. - Oda considers a good sense of rhythm about words is important when creating sentences in ONE PIECE although he doesn't read many books. Oda sometimes keeps in mind that he should write sentences in 5-7-5 Japanese traditional poetic Haiku form. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku - The person Oda wants to meet most now is Quentin Tarantino. Oda also says that he has already met most of the people whom he wants to. - Oda at the age of 3-6 resolved to become a mangaka since he can make a living via drawing manga every day. - Oda thought he would easily become the best mangaka since he had been confident of his drawing technique, but he noticed that he needed to learn creating an interesting story when he was around 17 years old. - Oda was not convinced when his art teacher in junior high school didn't give the best grade to his good Toriyama-ish dragon drawing. Oda says he thought there was no difference between manga and art. - Before Oda became a professional mangaka, his editor often advised him to create well-defined manga characters. Some people even criticized that Luffy in "Romance Dawn" (prototype for ONE PIECE) didn't seem to move on its own. Oda says that himself didn't fully grasp the personality of Luffy at that time. - Oda remembers he was a rude person without knowing it before his debut as a professional mangaka. He talked to a legendary mkangaka (HIroshi Motomiya) too casually in a party, which made staffs upset. - Oda keeps in mind that he should make funny and casual comments in SBS. Oda in childhood had read mangaka talking about their hardships in creating manga in author's comments. He made up his mind that he wouldn't write such a comment since [he considers audience wouldn't understand it no matter how mangaka talks about their hardships in detail. - Bandai company plans to sell OP goods based on SBS drawings of gender-bent/childhood characters although Oda just wants to draw them just for fun. - Oda says he'd like to keep being "a friendly funny guy in neighborhood" for kids who feels free to answer their requests to make drawings in SBS. Oda also says his drawings are not something very valuable. He says he is not a kind of mangaka who considers himself, "Even one line drawn by me can make much money!" *************************** - Oda "Be sure to look forward to Wano country. I refrain from revealing when I draw it, though." - Oda "There are tons of new characters I want to draw in Wano arc. Characters in ONE PIECE fight mostly on land despite them being pirates. I'd like to draw some event scenes on the sea which reminds us that they are pirates. Maybe I'll change my mind, though (laugh)" - When Kuma was introduced for the first time in 2002, Oda told one of his assistants that Kuma would cause the separation of Straw Hats in the future. It came true in 2008. - The drawings of Amaru Enel are based on a elephant. - There are some supplements (vitamin, turmeric, ornithine and forskohlii) and Red Bull on Oda's desk... - Oda is getting excited and doesn't eat food near the deadline for submitting manuscripts. Oda says food would make him sleepy. On the other hand, his assistants are getting exhausted near the deadline. - 3 assistants have been working under Oda for more than 15 years. - Oda had nearly 30 options for Rebecca's name. (Shalom, Violet, Russian, Akiria, Girasole, Laura, Helianthus, Seneca, Juvenalis, Noir, Vineyard, Iris, Amazonia, Lambda, Isbell and Fabula etc..) The text says Shalom means peace in Hebrew and some other options mean sunflower in different languages. - There is an impressive line Oda didn't use in Enies Lobby arc. Luffy "Robin! Keep laughing! There's nothing to be afraid of! I'm with you!!" Robin sheds tears remembering Saul's words "Laugh when you are in hardships!! Dereshishishi"
And lastly, these two pieces of colorspreads are well fridgin done! Nami ngggrrhhhhh!!! Asdghjkh fk u Oda!!!! But it’s not like I won’t keep the pic tho, for academic purpose ofc ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Tumblr media
On the side note, the last piece should have Zoro and Robin in there #casuallywinkingtotheirshippers

A Treatise On The Domestication Of Two Mercenaries
by TheFreelancerDivision (Apples), @arirashkae, @aryashi, @zalia, and @goodboyfreckles (cabose)
-
Apples-Today at 1:37 PM
rvb au where everything is the same except locus and felix really are just mercenaries and the people helping charon industries are, like, volleyball girl and that one sad gunner with the awful red stripes. Discuss.
Aryashi-Today at 1:37 PM
okay as a story that'd be baffling and confusing, but as a crack fic I'd read it in a heartbeat
cabose-Today at 1:38 PM
ok so is there persona a cover or?
Apples-Today at 1:38 PM
shrug i just picked two people we know nothing about. storm troopers #7 and #9 as it were.
cabose-Today at 1:39 PM
yea
Apples-Today at 1:39 PM
and yeah ary i was just thinking about it as a fic
cabose-Today at 1:39 PM
1137 and 1139 if u get the reference u are my new best frend
Apples-Today at 1:39 PM
nope sorry not big on star wars
more of a trek person
cabose-Today at 1:40 PM
yesssss
Aryashi-Today at 1:40 PM
okay but you'd need to up their competence by a LOT, because you'd have Felix and Locus with the good guys
eventually
cabose-Today at 1:40 PM
yea so like i said would ther personas be a cover
Apples-Today at 1:41 PM
yeah i was thinking they discover it at the same time as in canon and then locus and felix (who stilled followed tucker and the others) end up swept in everything. they're very upset by this turn of events.
dunno man that first idea was the extent of it really
Aryashi-Today at 1:41 PM
no no I think you got something here
but instead of it being the figure heads, what if it's a BUNCH of double agents?
seeded through the ranks as it were
Apples-Today at 1:42 PM
oooooooh
oh wait not the LTs though right
leave the LTs alone
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:42 PM
So instead of a separate base, all the pirates are in the armies?
Zalia Chimera-Today at 1:42 PM
Felix is upset because it means he probably won't get paid
Apples-Today at 1:42 PM
haha yisss
locus is upset cuz he doesn't get to shoot felix anymore
Zalia Chimera-Today at 1:43 PM
Then of course, you have the inevitable... Hargrove tries to tempt Felix
with a TV the size of a billboard
Aryashi-Today at 1:43 PM
oooooooooohhhh
that'd be SO TENSE
because it could go either way!!!
Apples-Today at 1:43 PM
lOCUS IS WAITING TO SHOOT FELIX AGAIN
HE'S SO READY TO DO IT
THIS IS HIS CHANC-- ah man he turned it down
Aryashi-Today at 1:44 PM
EXACTLY EXACTLY
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:44 PM
Hargrove's too much of an asshole
Aryashi-Today at 1:44 PM
play with audience expectation
Zalia Chimera-Today at 1:44 PM
Locus actually spending too much time around Wash
Apples-Today at 1:44 PM
the first time he yells loud enough to squeak he refuses to make another noise for two days
felix never lets him live it down
Aryashi-Today at 1:45 PM
you know what else Felix not being the Biggest Douche in the Universe means
more of him with the BGC
i loved Felix with the BGC, he was so... baffled
Zalia Chimera-Today at 1:45 PM
Lopez insulting him
Aryashi-Today at 1:46 PM
and the Locus and Lopez friendship we deserved could be REAL
Apples-Today at 1:46 PM
yasssss
Aryashi-Today at 1:46 PM
or at least grudging alliance in the face of such idiocy
Zalia Chimera-Today at 1:47 PM
Carolina threatening Felix more
Aryashi-Today at 1:47 PM
yyyeeeesssss
Apples-Today at 1:47 PM
felix still stabbing carolina but they were sparring and it was an ~accident~
nobody believes him
he's not even sure he believes him. whatever.
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:48 PM
at least he missed the vein?
Aryashi-Today at 1:48 PM
that's the other thing, you'd need to lean into Felix's amorality to make him interesting; without the twist, as initially presented, he's kind of dull(edited)
Zalia Chimera-Today at 1:49 PM
...Felix and Grey teaming up for pirate torture funtimes
Apples-Today at 1:49 PM
listen here you little shit i liked felix before he was evil
Aryashi-Today at 1:49 PM
like he said, "the mercenary with a gruff exterior, but a heart of gold!"
Apples-Today at 1:49 PM
nono he was just a douche
Aryashi-Today at 1:49 PM
he's FUN but he's not especially deep
Apples-Today at 1:49 PM
it was fun
the entire show took six seasons to get deep
i think we can cut him a little slack
Aryashi-Today at 1:50 PM
Oh I'm not saying a lot needs to change! You'd just need to account for it. Lean into his jerkishness, his 'Everyone has a price' stuff, and his thing with Locus
Apples-Today at 1:51 PM
yeah locus and felix are exactly what they look like
or rather are presented as
Aryashi-Today at 1:51 PM
Well being entirely fair Locus wasn't exactly... putting on an act
He was just Locus. Hiding his real employer XD
Apples-Today at 1:52 PM
exactly! in this case doyle actually is his employer(edited)
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:52 PM
And his intel source on the New Republic XD
Apples-Today at 1:52 PM
hmmmmm
i dunno
maybe him and felix play hide-and-seek-and-death
he has yet to be found when he's spying on the News
felix always seeks
locus is very smug
Aryashi-Today at 1:54 PM
and their beef could be hanging over the alliance too, another faucet of the Feds vs. News
Apples-Today at 1:54 PM
heheh yesss
Aryashi-Today at 1:54 PM
like as soon as Charon's dealt with they're absolutely gonna try to kill each other
Apples-Today at 1:54 PM
.....you know what that means right??
the red and blue army each get a new recruit!
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:55 PM
XD
Aryashi-Today at 1:55 PM
XDDD
Apples-Today at 1:55 PM
sarge is thrilled that his actually tries to kill one of the blues
Aryashi-Today at 1:55 PM
Locus is Red as Fuck man, don't even argue with me
I'm a Blue and I'm saying this
Apples-Today at 1:55 PM
locus has to be on blue team tho cuz he can't be on opposite sides with wash he just can't!!
Zalia Chimera-Today at 1:55 PM
They both wake up one day to find their armour has been spray painted
Aryashi-Today at 1:55 PM
but SARGE though!!!
Locus and Sarge connection!!!!
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:56 PM
Plus Orange is a shade red, Green is a shade of blue
Apples-Today at 1:56 PM
but locus' giant weird crush!!
i mean yeah that too
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:56 PM
Oh, wait!
Locus' crush could drive Sarge up the wall
Apples-Today at 1:56 PM
.......ah f**k
locus is a fucking red isn't he
goddammit
Aryashi-Today at 1:56 PM
LOVE TGRIANGLE!!!!!!!!!
Zalia Chimera-Today at 1:56 PM
Except in private when Sarge admits he has always found Wash's yellow stripe alluring
Apples-Today at 1:56 PM
no stop desist
Aryashi-Today at 1:56 PM
yes yes yes yes yes yes yeeeesssss
Apples-Today at 1:56 PM
silence
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:56 PM
XD
Apples-Today at 1:57 PM
begone
Aryashi-Today at 1:57 PM
YESSSSSSSSSS
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:57 PM
Of course now I see Tucker getting fed up
Apples-Today at 1:57 PM
i am channeling locus right now
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:57 PM
Hauling Locus over to Blue base
Apples-Today at 1:57 PM
be quiet
fOR A THREESOME
cough
sorry
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:57 PM
And walking up to Wash and going "He needs to sleep with us tonight I am so sick of this bullshit"
Apples-Today at 1:57 PM
i'll restrain muself
AHA YES
FUCK YEAH
W00TW00T
sorry
back to restraining myself
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:57 PM
Now, whether or not Tucker meant "sleep" or sleep is up to you
Aryashi-Today at 1:58 PM
seriously though, I think Locus and Felix flip. Like that's the gag, nobody knows what team they're on
because
Apples-Today at 1:58 PM
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Aryashi-Today at 1:58 PM
ya see
they're MERCS
Apples-Today at 1:58 PM
ayyyyyyy
Zalia Chimera-Today at 1:58 PM
Awww damn, I am disappointed. i was rooting for Sarge/Locus/Wash
Apples-Today at 1:58 PM
that's great!
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:58 PM
Red & Blue in a bidding war
Apples-Today at 1:58 PM
zalia. ZALIA.
you are one of my only allies
don't do this to me
hehe ari omg
Zalia Chimera-Today at 1:58 PM
^^
I am a Free agent
Aryashi-Today at 1:59 PM
Dude I'm into Lucker too but Sargington is a damn fine ship
Apples-Today at 1:59 PM
"ally" in this case meaning you wrote the only other lucker thing
Zalia Chimera-Today at 1:59 PM
...a Freelancer, if you will
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 1:59 PM
Now, now, children I meant for their combat skills
Apples-Today at 1:59 PM
......recoils delicately
Aryashi-Today at 1:59 PM
XD
but yeah, Sarge and Locus have some pretty unique things in common
Zalia Chimera-Today at 1:59 PM
Nah man, I write anything XD
Apples-Today at 2:00 PM
cries
Aryashi-Today at 2:00 PM
like not even arguing as a ship, just as a conversation that needs to happen
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:00 PM
an unhealthy love of firearms?
Apples-Today at 2:00 PM
sHOTGUNS
Aryashi-Today at 2:00 PM
Question: What's Sarge's name>
?
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:00 PM
Sarge
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:00 PM
So the merc thing is solved when the Reds and Blues agree to a time share
Aryashi-Today at 2:00 PM
yes, he changed it. Legally. Locus is the name of his armor
Apples-Today at 2:00 PM
locus is just happy he gets to address someone by their rank
having to call every by their names makes him twitchy
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:00 PM
According to .... Reconstruction? when the Meta was calling Red Base, you cna make out he was a Master Sargent S-----
Aryashi-Today at 2:00 PM
I'm just saying, shedding the name you were born with like that...
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:01 PM
Like... 2 weeks with one team, 2 weeks with the other
Sarge was an ODST
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:01 PM
"Dress for the job you want" so he changed his name on top of it
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:01 PM
I think it says that in the book
which means he is terrifyingly badass
Aryashi-Today at 2:01 PM
Exactly!
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:01 PM
one of the miniseries says it too
Apples-Today at 2:01 PM
and in
yeah between reconstruction and recreation
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:01 PM
"Didn't you used to jump out of spaceships?" "How do you think I got the fear of heights?"
Apples-Today at 2:01 PM
don't remember what it was called tho
Aryashi-Today at 2:02 PM
Relocated
Apples-Today at 2:02 PM
thank you!
Aryashi-Today at 2:02 PM
but Sarge is the only non-Freelancer with a confirmed military career
a successful one too, if he actually got into the program. Volunteer only, best of the best
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:03 PM
Have to pass some serious screenings
Apples-Today at 2:03 PM
locus tries to reconcile that with his abject stupidity
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:03 PM
yeah. ODSTs are a volunteer only force, and you have to already be a veteran of another special operations unit
Aryashi-Today at 2:03 PM
the fact he has literally negative interest in talking about it... implies several things
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:03 PM
... I want to see Locus learn this
Apples-Today at 2:03 PM
his brain hurts
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:03 PM
cough neural tampering cough
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:03 PM
Yep
Apples-Today at 2:03 PM
wait wait
Aryashi-Today at 2:03 PM
Sarge isn't interested in talking about being the best of the best, and also surviving it. The man has gotta have PTSD
Apples-Today at 2:03 PM
real talk though
are they in valhalla or blood gulch
or did they stick around chorus
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:04 PM
They find a nice canyon on Chorus
everyone on Chorus is baffled
Apples-Today at 2:04 PM
ah yes a nice little place to settle down
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:04 PM
because like... they offered them housing in the city
Apples-Today at 2:04 PM
"you just want....two concrete bases? and that's it?"
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:04 PM
or some really nice farm buildings
nope
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:04 PM
Can't play Capture the Flag in the city
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:04 PM
a couple of abandoned bases
Aryashi-Today at 2:04 PM
XDDD
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:05 PM
Carolina & Wash introduce them to lockdown paint
Aryashi-Today at 2:05 PM
YES
Apples-Today at 2:05 PM
nobody is pleased with this development
Aryashi-Today at 2:05 PM
they get it colored red and blue
Apples-Today at 2:05 PM
not even locus and felix
cuz it's nonlethal
Aryashi-Today at 2:05 PM
so everyone knows who landed the hit
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:05 PM
I now just want an epic bromance between Felix and Grey
Apples-Today at 2:05 PM
personalized colors
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:05 PM
with the two of them being terrifying
Apples-Today at 2:05 PM
so they really know
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:06 PM
I mean, Felix doesn't give a damn about patching people up
but he does have a strong interest in cutting them open and pain
Aryashi-Today at 2:06 PM
Dr. Grey's technical knowledge and Felix's experience make them very, very, VERY good at.... Interogation
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:06 PM
...and that just led to scary Adult Only ideas
Apples-Today at 2:06 PM
The Weird And Scary Courtship Of The Doctor And The Mercenary
Aryashi-Today at 2:07 PM
8D
I am IN TO THIS
Apples-Today at 2:07 PM
locus pouts and he and grey used to have a thing
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:07 PM
Felix smirks and counts it as a win
Apples-Today at 2:07 PM
he isn't attached he just think felix isn't good enough for her
he has a great deal of respect and admiration for the doctor and he swears to god if felix hurts her...
he will be very. upset.
felix proceeds to  overshare about her pain kink
everything is terrible
Zalia Chimera-Today at 2:08 PM
Felix has the scars to prove it
Aryashi-Today at 2:09 PM
well this certainly took a turn
XD
Apples-Today at 2:09 PM
sorry back to red vs. blue shenanigans
Aryashi-Today at 2:09 PM
So. Felix and Caboose.
Apples-Today at 2:09 PM
oh good lord
but ooh ooh locus and caboose because carolina ordered (or wash asked) him to help train caboose
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:11 PM
.... Locus & Caboose armwrestling
Apples-Today at 2:11 PM
locus loses
hands down
but he puts up a good fight
they do it weekly(edited)
it joins movie night up there on favored canyon entertainment
there's popcorn
Aryashi-Today at 2:12 PM
Felix is convinced Caboose's whole Thing is an act
Apples-Today at 2:12 PM
tries to catch him at it
Aryashi-Today at 2:12 PM
no man is that weird
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:12 PM
Caboose can verbally out maneuver Felix
Locus thinks this is the best thing ever
because Felix can't keep up with Caboose's tangents
Apples-Today at 2:13 PM
surprisingly locus often can
cabose-Today at 2:13 PM
hang on ary theres a fic where felix is trying to catch caboose "in the act"
lemme go find it
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:14 PM
yes!
the bathroom one!
cabose-Today at 2:14 PM
yes!!
Apples-Today at 2:14 PM
wait what
Ari (arirashkae)-Today at 2:14 PM
that needs to be shared everywhere
cabose-Today at 2:14 PM
theres an ari and an ary im confused
Aryashi-Today at 2:14 PM
I've had this name since middle school! I'll duel you for it!
Ari/Zhaneel (arirashkae)-Today at 2:15 PM
I've had mine for 23 years
Apples-Today at 2:15 PM
ary beta-ed my lucker fic, ari wrote one of the other lucker fics in existence
Aryashi-Today at 2:15 PM
....... i'll still fight you
Apples-Today at 2:15 PM
that's how i tell them apart
cabose-Today at 2:15 PM
https://archiveofourown.org/works/9042677
Ari/Zhaneel (arirashkae)-Today at 2:15 PM
I bring offerings of chocolate and sugar
Aryashi-Today at 2:16 PM
-squints Accepted. I'm still keeping my name tho
Ari/Zhaneel (arirashkae)-Today at 2:16 PM
