My half of the ship-for-ship art trade with @paintedscales

I'm so fucking confident this is paper kingdom related;

first of all the background itself, first thing I thought was castle in distance and falling pieces of paper. (now looking more directly I think it might be more of city scrape ?? but the point still stands)

second the caption: "If you could be anything what would you be?" feels very much like question asked at therapy, or group therapy, which paper kingdom was supposed to be about.

I don't know how to fit the KCR or the fact it's posted on veteran day yet, but so far I'm convinced we're getting scrapped songs from paper kingdom officially released. (also I think k in title might stand for either kingdom or kill, I prefer the second option which would make "Kill chemical romance".

Glorious Masquerade coming out tmmrw which means I can finally know the answer to THE most important question in TWST:

How did Idia get his hair to be short?

- Amethyst Anon

WAIT OMG YOU'RE RIGHT!!!!! :O I think he just pulled it up and pinned it??? Maybe the excess hair is hidden under his hat. :D or perhaps it's a magic thing??? I feel as if the answer is so obvious and simple, but I'm merely overthinking it LOL.

BUT!!!!! I'm very excited!!!! >w< I only have 50 summons saved for Mr. Azul, but I'm determined to bring tako home. This is my dream and my delusion all in one: he will come home!!! orz good luck bringing home anyone if you are summoning, Amethyst anon!!!!

i know exactly 0 one piece ships but you asked me about my favorite pjsk ship and in return i ask you about your favorite one piece ship now go and infodump 👍

THANK YOU FOR ENABLING ME BESTIE I LOVE YOU /P

ANYWAYS IT'S ZORO AND LUFFY IT HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME. I ALSO LOVE THEM PLATONIC BUT NO MATTER WHAT I THINK THAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS SO SPECIAL... I DON'T WANNA SPOIL YOU TOO MUCH BUT LIKE. I CAN LITERALLY WRITE AN ESSAY I HAVE WRITTEN AN ESSAY AND IT WAS LIKE 1000 WORDS AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET INTO IT THAT MUCH. IN GENERAL IT'S JUST. SOMETHING ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TRUST THEY HAVE FOR EACH OTHER AND THE DEVOTION. THEY CARE. THEY CARE SO MUCH. LUFFY CARES ABOUT AND LOVES THE WHOLE CREW, OF COURSE, BUT SOMETHING ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH ZORO HITS DIFFERENT. EVEN AS EARLY AS THE BUGGY STUFF WHEN ZORO PICKED UP THAT HEAVY ASS CAGE AND HAULED LUFFY TO SAFETY DESPITE HIS STAB WOUND? AND WHEN HE TRUSTED LUFFY ENOUGH TO LITERALLY JUST GO TO SLEEP ON THE BATTLEFIELD? IT GOT ME. THAT SHIT GOT ME. ALSO LIKE, ZORO IS ZORO. HE'S A PRETTY PROUD MAN, BUT HE SWALLOWED HIS PRIDE AND GOT ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES AND BEGGED FOR LUFFY'S SAKE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. AND HE IS QUITE LITERALLY WILLING TO DIE FOR LUFFY. PLUS ON LUFFY'S SIDE SOMETIMES ZORO IS THE ONLY ONE LUFFY WILL REALLY LISTEN TO AND TAKE SERIOUSLY. AND I CAN'T FIND IT NOW BUT THERE'S THIS ONE PANEL WHERE A BUNCH OF THE CREW IS PASSED OUT AND LUFFY IMMEDIATELY RUSHES TO ZORO AND HOLDS HIM ASKING "HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED WITH YOU HERE?" THE TRUST IS INSANE... AND THEN A MUCH SMALLER BUT STILL VERY IMPORTANT THING TO ME. ONCE LUFFY LITERALLY OFFERED TO SHARE HIS LUNCH WITH ZORO! I SEE THAT AS A LOVE CONFESSION, PERSONALLY... AND ALSO THIS BIT... THEY WERE ONLY SEPARATED FOR LIKE, A WEEK AND WERE LIKE THAT... IT'S LOVE IN MY EYES...

(Also bonus headcanons: To me they are both asexual and Luffy is demiromantic while Zoro is gay)

This is completely, completely random, but I think what drives me utterly insane with feels in Clear Card Arc is how in the end the love Kaito got for Akiho proved to be stronger than his own self-loathing, stronger than his depression and stronger than the complete disregard for his life.

I won't use the heavy word that starts with "s", but the depiction of Kaito's state of mind might remind of that, and I would've never imagined CLAMP would depict that in CCS.

👇

Back at the Fake Moon, he was so lost and had hit rock bottom so hard that he was ready to let himself rot in that cage for eternity, without even the mercy of death but at the same time not being able to live either.

Forever condemned to be reminded every single waking moment of all his mistakes and what he lost in exchange for fixing them.

All of this, in a shape that deprived him completely of his human dignity.

They found him sleeping, because only sleep could alleviate some of that torment.

And even when Sakura with her immense empathy miraculously recognized Akiho's most important person in him, and freed him, he refused to come out of that frigging prison he imposed on himself.

Not even Sakura spelling out in front of him "Akiho had a special person and that was you" could convince him to move his ass out of there.

It's only when he saw her, heard her say those things with her very own voice, and then saw her putting herself in danger for his sake, that he finally moved.

His love for her, his will to protect her was stronger than his will to let himself rot away.

Stronger than the monster that was eating his sanity away from the inside.

I can't help but get moved to tears thinking about this depiction of how the love for your most important person can save you from depression.

It might not be for yourself at first, but you gotta start from somewhere. Something must give you the "fuel" to keep fighting those demons inside and overthrow them.

A love as strong as that one can do it, it can be that "fuel".

Then everything else can come afterwards. Like a newfound self-worth to learn to live again.

Kaito was so convinced he didn't deserve to live a life out there, he was so sure that it was over for him, forgotten by everything and everyone...but when he heard from Akiho how important he was to her, that changed everything, and he managed to find the strength in himself to go back to her.

It wasn't certainly easy for him, even as a dragon you can see how much he's suffering while he's literally dragging himself out of despair's chokehold, to go back to her. But he did it. For her.

Love defeating death, basically.

And all of this was possible thanks to Sakura's immense empathy and compassion. How she made possible for those two to reunite and let Akiho's love pull Kaito towards life.

Cause Sakura certainly made him go back to his original appearance, and then saved him in other ways, but without Kaito's consent and effort, that last, painful "okay" said with the eyes of the dragon, things would've been very different.

And Kaito came back only because he felt the pull of Akiho's love and the one of his love for her.

Sometimes I wonder if people really realize how huge that is, and what heavy, extremely heavy thematics were addressed in Clear Card, with the subtlety and sensitivity that the topic and target audience required. I wonder if there are people who related to Kaito's behavior in the story, and felt comforted by seeing what happened in the climax.

Look! It's the fucking Sorcerer who definitely isn't the embodiment of chaotic neutral! And definitely didn't die I mean... Got yoinked by outlaws in our like, 3rd session! (This was months ago btw, he's fine now! Or well, more like, for now)

kicked myself in the ass and finally started writing a reylo fic

been putting this off for WAY too long

[a-portable-snack]

Taylor Swift is THE artist for One Piece (specifically Zolu)

In this paper I will be doing lyrical analysis to prove to you why all the best songs for One Piece are Taylor Swift songs based off what I've seen. I started this project while I was in the Fishman Island Arc so they are organized through that arc.

There are also a bunch of One Piece and Zolu headcanons so if you need inspiration for fics, everything is organized by arc so just jump to where you want you fic to take place! The only rule is you have to tag me so I read anything you write!!!!

[hermitcraftx]

i’m so sorry anons are being stupid. you’re objectively right. heterosexuality does not exclude you from queerness. queerness is not exclusively about sexual or romantic orientation.

on a lighter note i’m SO GLAD someone else finds the whole. s*kysiblings thing weird.

-gr1an on my hermitcraft blog but this is my main lol

THANK YOU !!! accusing me of being queerphobic when they outwardly discounted every way that m/f appearing pairings can be queer. smh my head

and you know what. if you like it that's FINE, i'm just noting that it's weird to pair every single woman on hermitcraft with grian (the arguably most popular male hermit) and then call her his sibling... like what they're doing with gem rn. guys it doesn't make it better for feminism if it's familial you need to give HER depth too.

plus i don't even think. skyblings is the worst thing in fandom ever it's definitely not it's just not my cup of tea. which is fine i don't interact with it i was just criticizing the fans for being weird about women. plus i've noticed grian and pearl interact a LOT less since it became a popular thing, and i have to wonder if they're tied together, but that's just me theorizing hfsdjhfdkjhjkhkj. i think people need to learn that not everyone has to like the same thing and you can pick and choose what you interact with, and FANDOM CRITICISM IS OK! good lord

Karmaland is over what am I supposed to do with my life now :(

[kira-the-whump-enthusiast]

1, 7, 13

From this ask game :D

1. What was your whump awakening(s)?

Hm. I think I’ve always been a little obsessed with captivity. I went on a lot of Wikipedia spirals as a kid reading about all sorts of prisons and restraint methods. Devoured as much books as possible about Alcatraz and various prisons. And then I got into really really angsty media when I was probably far too young for it. I blame YA dystopias for that (specifically the good ones just below YA actually like The Shadow Children series and The Giver Quartet). But!!! That gave me the love of angst. And then I got into writing and putting my OCs into angsty situations. I will say my proper whump awakening was when I read Hazeshift by whumpwillow!!! Before that I had sort of looked into the whump community but discovering villain whump was what really made it click, you know.

7. Favorite whump fandom?

I don’t really do fandom stuff! However you must go read Vicious and Vengeful by VE Schwab they are the whumpiest books I’ve ever read. Look it’s about two college guys with hubris for days and a general callous disregard for others lives and then they die to get superpowers. And Victor literally gets himself tortured to death to be revived and then he and Eli try to kill each other and it’s amazing. Pls read it you will not be disappointed.

Actually probably. The only whump fanfic I’ve ever read is this one of Matt Engarde getting beat up. Honestly Matt Engarde is the only character I’ve ever wanted to read fanfic for. Specifically whumpy stuff. It’s pretty decent!!!!

13. Favorite physical whump trope?

OOOH OKAY THIS IS REALLY HARD TO CHOOSE. I gotta say it's a three way tie between starvation, whipping, and shock collars.

Look shock collars are the love of my life forever. The idea of having something tight around your next 24/7 is Top Tier Horror for me, a man who can barely stand sleeping in a t shirt cuz the collar's too close. Especially when it can totally wreck your shit cuz you know. Electrocution. Look it's just awesome. Give all your whumpees a shock collar and pull it a little too tight <2

Whipping is just pretty fun! Very slay, there's a lot of different types you can choose from, and the sounds are cool! Also I like how you can totally ruin someone with a whip. And whip scars are the best in whump!!

For Reasons that I will not be getting into, starvation always hits the spot for me as a trope <2. Idk man. Lots of things it can symbolize :D But also it's just. It is so much Horrors. And I love it. It's the closest thing you can be to dead while still being alive. Body deteriorating painfully, and you can feel every bit of it. The absolute desperation it brings. And the way it saps your ability to do anything at all. Idk man. It's just great all around. Probably will be one of my favorite tropes forever!

Actually I'm starting to wonder if D. A. B. Ronald shipped the Turn version of John/Peggy just that hard that he devoted over half his bio of André to explaining how they were actually IRL plotting together for her to marry some American general and convince him to switch sides.

It was published in well after Turn came out....

Brought to you by the line: "'never fond of gadding', according to a friend of the Shippen family, she knew what she wanted, and she had set her mind on getting it."

Yes well the problem with that is that if you look up the rest of the "never fond of gadding" line, it's actually about Peggy being a shy little homebody, not a cutthroat girlboss who goes for what she wants. (The source is the Lewis Burd Walker Life of Margaret Shippen series of articles that were published in about 1900 and which I only seem to be able to find on JSTOR.)
