For the twins in time AU, I genuinely wonder what kind of people the young twins grow up into because of Stan’s/Ford’s influence. Especially if it takes years for the portal to get fixed.

(Sorry if it seems like I already sent this question, I don’t know if it got sent the first time I asked)

I haven’t fully fleshed out how Ford grows up in the past but I do have thoughts on Stan presently

OLLD drawing I can share now of Timmy after recovery and care from staying on double life and being looked after by the box boys~

He’s healthier, happier, his hair and wings have grown back out and have a pretty blue-black sheen to them (that he never knew he had bc in hels his diet and environment only let them be dull) and he just heard the sound of a portal opening for someone to come visit~!

okay hi so listen hear me out

sea snake is a bit too obvious (and too boring)

so i made him based on some kind of lionfish??? (bc something something venomous marine animal) also with a LOT of creative liberties i made with how the fish looks like

let’s also give his fins some rips and tears here and there bc what are the implications of that??? that’s for you 🫵 to decide

anyways chat i lowkey dont know what i was doing

i had no other thoughts but haha funny snake man i turn into fish

“I knew you could write but wow… John, these are…”

“Depressing, I’m aware.”

“But beautiful,” Floyd insisted. “What my college professor would give to study this.”

“What?”

“Nothing,” Floyd replied quickly. Introducing John to that can of worms was a whole other conversation. “You said something about listening to sad music while reading sad books?”

“I guess?”

“Maybe you could record some of these!”

“Do you want to?”

“What?”

“Sing some of them.”

Floyd hesitated. Oh, it was tempting for sure. With these lyrics and Floyd’s voice? It would be quite the combination. Floyd wasn’t a bad lyrcist but his strength was in his voice itself. John had always been able to write. Not that John had a bad voice, but his talent was in the music he wrote more than any other part.

haha don’t think about that au where stan & ford as kids get sent forward in time and end up with young adult versions of themselves, stan with ford and ford with stan. don’t think about adult ford focusing on finding a way to send stan back, kid stan finding it so cool how smart he is. stan eventually realizing that ford isn’t just trying to help, he’s trying to get rid of him—he’s just a reminder of the brother ford doesn’t want to think about anymore. adult stan meeting kid ford, having a version of his brother who still loves him and admires him. taking him to gravity falls because he figures ford could figure out what to do, he can’t just keep this kid forever after all—he has a home to go back to. ford’s found a way to send them back, and right before the younger twins leave, stan stops this kid version of his brother to hug him goodbye. holds on tight and tells him he’ll miss him. maybe ford will respond that he’s sure he misses stan too in the future, but stan knows better. he says “yeah you’re probably right, kid” anyway. the kids leave, and ford leaves stan alone in that room, kneeling on the floor where he said goodbye to the brother that still saw him as his hero.

I don’t know if this has been done before but hear me out… Kuina lives Au

Not as in she faked her death, but as in she lived INSTEAD of Zoro. Everything else is the exact same. They still made their vows to become the greatest swordsman and to fight every day, but instead of Kuina falling down the stairs, Zoro died in some other sudden way.

Now I’m no expert with One Piece lore or anything, but from the way I’m imagining it, it could be that literally nothing would change about the plot of the main story. I like to imagine that, after Zoro’s death, Kuina goes through a similar character shift where she realizes she has to carry out both of their dreams. I always loved that Zoro’s three sword style represented the way that he was fighting in both of their names, and I feel that Kuina would have done the same thing in his honor. Zoro really seemed to inspire her with his determination that anyone can be great, and I don’t find it unreasonable that she also would have left the village to fight stronger opponents, likely even ending up as a strong bounty hunter in the East Blue, as Zoro did.

Now I don’t feel that we really saw a lot of Kuina’s personality relating to situations other than her and Zoro’s rivalry, but it’s pretty clear to me that her and Zoro are similar in a lot of ways. Kuina had more of a defeatist attitude about her future, but that was a product of the environment she was raised in. She clearly still had a strong fighting spirit, and once Zoro encouraged her (in his own way lol), she seemed to be susceptible to the dreamer mentality that Zoro— and many of the Staw Hats— have. If Zoro died instead, I think it would only add to the motivation she felt about overcoming her perceived weakness.

I’m not sure how exactly this would change the strawhats’ dynamics, though I think there would be something interesting there when it came to her relationship with Sanji, as I don’t imagine she would appreciate his flawed outlook on women.

some WIPs from the 80s AU i never finished

I know I know I know you said that a writer wins when people do memes of your work (which is literally someting that makes me cackle so much no one has any idea) but like

Literal screaming.

I have never in my life had someone draw fanart of my work - even in a fandom - before and it’s literally insane to wrap my head around. Like I cannot. What. I cannot

It looks so goooooodd dude the tears and expression and textures. Oh the texturesssss (and that shading style like dude yes) and the blurry sketches of JD??? Like ajdndisndejsjebei I literally cannot say enough.

The fact that you like my writing so much you drew something practically puts me in a coma just whoa.

Grief is messy

@blade-that-was-broken (⁠ ⁠´⁠◡⁠‿⁠ゝ⁠◡⁠`⁠) *casually drops this to you*

This is my first time drawing Bruce and I got to say, I love it. I tried a new shading style and it turned out GREAT! Kinda dont like how oversaturated his skin is but It's too late to change it lol.

If you're wondering what inspired this art. It's @/blade-that-was-broken fic titled "Moments to be Real" it's part of the series called "I'm Still Here" and I swear to you guys that series is 😩👌. It has a special place in my heart cause I've been following it since book 1 chapter 1 LMAO. Go read it, IT'S WORTH IT I SWEAR SO YOU SHOULD ALL GO READ IT 🫵

Here's the sketch version under the cut.

:3

As you guys can see the quote is very different from the top so please ignore that LMAOOO. That quote is for Branch lol
