I can't think of anything to draw

In general I can appreciate the absolute horror of what the Children of Befort have done to themselves but I don't think I fully appreciated when I was younger - as I do now - Tarlant's attitude about the whole thing

because he is unquestionably the funniest and with his "I guess we're doing this now, huh?" attitude I feel like that's what I would do in his situation

as opposed to some of the others he just seems very stable and he'll make the best of whatever they end up having to do (because what other options do they have), and I can relate to that

While I have the attention of at least one (1) other Fantastic Children fan may I point you all towards probably the best sequel fic anyone could have ever written for this show:

To me, what is so fantastic about One Piece Fan Letter is the emphasis on the way the Straw Hats have created these connections in the lives of people they have never met. The ending scene, with all the hands putting together the puzzle pieces, and the way that all these connections came together in one dazzling way-- I loved that. I teared up at that. Wherever the Straw Hats go, they leave behind all of these puzzle pieces for people to put together and create bonds that would not have existed had the Straw Hats not shown up!

And it also just... Makes me so in love with the concept of the world after Luffy becomes King of The Pirates. I know that Oda has the final chapter planned in his head, and I doubt we will really see the long lasting effects of Luffy achieving the title of Pirate King + his dream, and I really do not want a sequel series ala Boruto or Yasahime, but.... I want to see a world in which children believe they can become a Brave Warrior of the Sea thanks to Usopp, I want to see more children look at Nami and realize they don't NEED to have a Devil Fruit or Haki or muscles to have adventures. I want to see the next generation of the One Piece world believe so strongly in their dreams, that they set out to accomplish them.

One Piece Fan Letter really opened the door, I think, for more and more stories about the "regular" people in the world of One Piece, the people you don't see in the arcs because they're the nondescript background characters, and how the Straw Hat Crew has changed them. And I want that. To me, that is fantastic.

sometimes family is a regular man, his surprisingly smart (and capricious) cat, his phoenix husband, the antichrist, an amorphous slime boy, a nature sprite, a gnome, a wyvern, a shapeshifter, a yeti, a much older and more powerful nature sprite, and her girlfriend the mayor

There's something about the Children of Befort being the children of Befort specifically

like.

They were fully adult, but they can only access their memories while their bodies are under the age of 12 – very similar to how children are often said to be able to see ghosts or fairies or things like that – they can connect to an 'entity' from another world but only up to a certain age

These adults completely had their futures stolen from them, and in return they are stealing the pasts of these children who are never going to know what happened during those 6 years that they were missing - assuming that they manage to make it back to their families at all, the majority of their childhoods are still gone forever

They were sent to Earth because one man did not want to lose his daughter, but they are stealing children from other families who also don't want to lose their children

The fact that they could grow up to an extent on their own world, into their 20s at least, but still be forced to "die" as children, over and over and over again, never able to actually live out their lives as themselves

Considering that at the time there was no known way to go to the Zone and return to the same body, and there were no more supplies to make artificial bodies...it was literally, explicitly forced death of the self. The only way to avoid death entirely was to keep inflicting the trauma onto the next generation, onto the next body. The only other option was to give up all hope of ever going home, of ever being yourself again, and letting the memories die forever - living as an adult, dying as a child, a stranger in a strange land

There's just something about it.

I need to you guys to stay with me and imagine Adrien Agreste experimenting with what to wear after he quits modeling but being hopelessly lost on where to start so, after much consideration, he gets the brilliant idea to mimic his friends clothing aesthetics.

So naturally one week he’s wearing a backwards cap and baggy jeans in an attempt to mimic Nino who is ecstatic and another he’s wearing a lot of flannel which makes Alya roll her eyes and another him and Marinette are practically twins much to his delight until she gently tells him he only likes it because they are matching and he should probably keep looking until he finds something that is his own.

But instead he just keeps on mimicking classmate after classmate until he runs through them all and he starts talking to Kagami who’s figuring things out herself and doesn’t provide much to go off of and he settles on wearing suits until someone mistakes him for Felix.

So then he decides to move on from people and starts to look on Pinterest at Marinette’s suggestion and he copies the outfits down to a science but why does everything STILL feel not right? He decides it’s the website so he moves on and copies what he sees in magazines and in ads and it feels a little better but he also feels a little sick when he does it and why isn’t anything right and he’s twisting the ring on his finger so much it’s leaving a mark and hes pacing around the mansion and it has so many portraits and his dad is in all of them and why is he suddenly getting the feeling nothing he puts on will ever be right and why in the world does this stupid ring feel so heavy.

And so after a month of experimenting, he gets up in the morning one day and decides to try on the outfit he always used to wear and attempts to do his grown out hair the old way and looks in the mirror and stares at himself for a while. He slips on his sneakers and then the door rings and he heads downstairs to meet Marinette for school. As they’re walking he is still trying to decipher what he feels and he suddenly realizes that his dad would like this outfit a lot. He smiles to himself and tells Marinette and she smiles weakly and says she supposes he would and then avoids his eyes.

Adrien feels that familiar twist in his stomach that tells him something isn’t right, but when he tries to reflect on why that would be he’s only met with the same fuzzy memories of his father that he can’t quite sort out. He wonders if that’s where the unease comes from but then he shakes his head because those memories must be good because his father died a hero.

And so he wears the same outfit he always wore, ignoring the fact it feels a little too tight on him and that it makes his new ring feel heavier than ever.
