In the past, if someone were to come up to you and tell you that you’d be a part of the One Piece Live Action main cast in the future, you would’ve probably laughed in their faces despite your wishful thinking.

At that time, you were content with your work, doing short theatre plays with companies or gaining minor roles in musicals. Everything changed when you landed the role for the one-woman show Fleabag for a limited time on London’s West End after the leading actress underwent emergency surgery for an appendectomy. You only acted as the sex-obsessed mess of a woman for about three weeks, but it was enough time for people to notice you, to really see you.

You believed your career had reached its pinnacle when you were cast as Katherine Howard in Six: The Musical in London. Your name had become somehow well-known in the musical theatre world, and you had a small but dedicated fan base who liked uploading edits of you being a dork during the Megasix on YouTube and TikTok. 

Months later, you were bound to play as Fantine for Les Miserables when COVID abruptly struck, and you were dismayed that your job was ripped from you so abruptly. Your best friend, the sweetest person on earth, insisted on you moving in with her in fear that you’d be evicted from your apartment.

Months passed, and you eventually found a small way to help your friend pay rent by offering singing and acting lessons online to musical-aspiring teenagers. Since you had gained many followers from your earlier work on social media, it didn’t surprise you when the classes became sold out.

Your friend also convinced you to create a YouTube channel for you to upload videos of yourself (sometimes joined by her) where you watched and commented shitty movies, followed DIY tutorials just for the fun of it, performed covers of your favorite songs, and just generally vlogged your life (along with reactions to Taylor Swift’s (From The Vault) songs).

At first, you thought it was pretty stupid, but you were delightfully proved wrong when your videos harbored over 200k-300k views on a bad day, so you found no reason to stop as COVID-19 continued, growing to gain a little over five hundred thousand followers. Your reactions were often used for TikTok audios or clips, so you found your popularity growing and evolving during that year.

You believed yourself to be a general, simple woman. People liked you because you were elegant and levelheaded, although you could sometimes be chaotic. You also had a subtle sense of humor that many found charming. But mostly, you grew a steady fan base because your videos and presence comforted countless young adults and teenagers.

You were an optimist and a reassuring one, so during the times when COVID was so prominent, people sought refuge from the monstrosities of the world in your videos, where you seemed to connect with them even though you were on the other side of the screen.

However, everything changed somewhere in 2020-2021. That evening, your best friend got home from work with excitement practically oozing out of her every pore. You and your best friend were avid anime watchers and manga readers, so you couldn’t help the face you made when she told you that One Piece was getting a live-action.

Although you were skeptical, your friend practically insisted you send an audition tape. You grimaced at that. It was well-known that live anime actions were almost always corny and cringeworthy compared to the original work, and people never liked them. You had learned that much from Death Note and a couple of others. However, your best friend convinced you with this argument:

“If it’s that bad, then at least you’ll gain more followers out of the memes that people will make, and if it’s good, you’ll still get famous anyway!”

Eventually, you sent a video of you performing one of the lengthy monologues from Fleabag to your agency and simply hoped for the best. Your friend was practically rooting for you to get the role of Anastasia, one of the first integrants of the Straw Hat crew, joining before Sanji and after Usopp. You adored her as she greatly reminded you of your late mother, although you would be happy with any role.

Somewhere in November 2021, you remember a lot of screaming and crying. When you try to look back on it, all you remember is the happiness you felt when you received confirmation of the role of Anastasia. You were practically over the moon, and you and your friend celebrated inside your small apartment. You were entirely alone, just two drunk girls dancing and cheering, until one of the neighbors knocked on the ceiling with a broom.

y/nsfanclub.02, AAAAAAAA SO EXCITED FOR THIS I ACTUALLY CANT BELIEVE IT

⤷ starl6ighwnb, LIKE FR IM GNAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE THIS IS INSANE

user8392y3r927y, HELLO YOUR GRACE ANASTASIA

inakigo, Congrats!!!!!!!!

taz_skylar, 🔥🔥🔥

The One Piece fan base dearly loved the character of Anastasia, a well-mannered, bubbly, upbeat, fashion-loving duchess who always spoke in a Transatlantic accent but also had a quick wit and a bit of a sweet tooth. Anastasia’s dream was to become the most dangerous pirate to ever grace the seas and prove everyone who doubted her wrong.

Of course, with a big character came a big responsibility.

Sometimes, insecurity nearly got the better of you. You had to fill huge shoes, and there were many people to convince and impress. However, your love for this project was bigger than the gnawing uncertainty on the back of your neck, so you continued strongly until the end of Season One, finding comfort in your cast mates and the countless people who counted on you and, most importantly, believed in you.

Oda handpicked you, and that argument alone was enough to shoot any insecurities away.

Well, needless to say, people loved you!

Critics acclaimed your portrayal of the character, as well as the commendable chemistry you shared with the rest of the cast. The fans found it incredibly funny that your character was the complete opposite of how you actually acted in real life, and you often found yourself blissfully immersed in the fan base's love and praise.

Your channel and social media suddenly grew tenfold. Although you had stopped uploading videos every week due to the recording of season one, your followers were more than happy to wait for your return, and as one would expect, they were thrilled to have you back once you did upload a vlog explaining everything.

Over the course of the six months, you had been recording from time to time for a YouTube video in the set. Previously, you had asked the producers for permission to record some behind-the-scenes for your channel and your usual interactions with the rest of the cast with your personal Sony camera, as you felt it would be a nice way to bring the fans and the cast closer.

The producers gave the okay on the condition that you would wait until the first season aired on Netflix. You happily agreed and carefully began recording some scenes of your dressers and hairdressers as they prepared you, a few shots of your instructor showing you how you were supposed to use the guns that Anastasia employed... simple things.

Back in the day, you were still getting acquainted with the other cast members, and you didn't want to seem rude by forcibly making them appear on your videos, so you waited for a few weeks until you could properly call yourself companions. Then, you invited them to appear in the videos.

Iñaki, Taz, and Jacob liked to take advantage of the little free time they had between scenes they didn't appear in to innocently steal your camera and use it to their heart's content. One day, you got home only to find the memory card was completely full. It was an extensive video of them walking around the set, with Taz recording while Kiki and Jacob pointed out random stuff to the people who lived inside your camera, as Jacob liked to call them.

Mackenyu, being more reserved and introverted, mostly liked to act as a cameraman for you as you showed the props you used and other things, often making comments or turning the camera around whenever you referred to something.

Meanwhile, Emily had a natural knack for being in front of the camera. Whenever you asked her to join in, she effortlessly slipped into the co-host role, bantering with you and adding her own insights into the behind-the-scenes world of the show.

With the first season out of the way, you took the time to carefully pick what videos you wanted to use in the final tape, and it took you a little over a month and a half to properly edit it and turn it into a wonderful thirty-minute-long behind-the-scenes. You even sent it to the producers and your co-stars in case there was a scene they wanted deleted. Fortunately, they all gave you the okay.

You teased the video a bit on your Instagram before uploading it a few days later, and the support it received was out of this world. It gained over two million views and hundreds of thousands of likes.

You were kind of expecting this. While some BTS had already been uploaded on YouTube, yours was different because you were showing it from your perspective. The fans loved every second of it, and even started asking for a second or third part. You even saw new videos on YouTube of recompilations from your video with the titles being silly things like The One Piece Cast Being Chaotic for Seven Minutes.

At that moment, your life felt so full. You were getting contacted by industries who wanted you to appear on their videos and their stages, thousands of fans who loved you, and a feeling so peculiar that this would be eternal.

Things You Should Know About A.Pheonyx (Me)

Formerly known as:

"BlueLotus Designs" and (more recently) "Crafty_Pheonyx" Some images may still have these Watermarks and will be tagged "formerly known as". New images will be watermarked with "A.Pheonyx".

I need to undergo a few personal changes due to a quickly, crashing mental health. This battle with my brain has led to pretty much a complete renewal/ restructuring of my personal and professional social medias. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I wasn't very organized before and I don't think that helped anybody. Below is a little list (and TLDR) of 10 things (in no particular order) it feels like you should know before scrolling through my content.

TLDR:

THIS ACCOUNT HAS A CONTENT AND TRIGGER WARNING. This content is geared toward adults; minors who attempt to follow will be blocked. STOP HERE. PLEASE ASK FOR MY PERMISSION BEFORE USING MY CREATIONS, & PLEASE TAG/CREDIT ME WHEN/IF YOU'RE USING/SHARING IT. Be prepared for me to get punny and personal with myself on this page- it's part of my creative process. Additionally, for LGBTQIA2+ feminist prop*ganda, puns and witchcraft. While one day I want to be a successful artist and author accomplishing my dreams, for now I want to figure out balancing my personal and professional accounts/posting schedules so, I'm not taking commissions. Expecting perfection from me will just be disappointing for both of us (ask my parents). I'm doing my best; I'm willing to grow. Other social media accounts are linked below.

19+ C.W. (with a partial T.W.): My content is NOT made for minors, or easily influenced individuals. My content will occasionally include: s*xual, stoner, alcohol, horror, swearing, and other adult imagery/stories. My content will also occasionally be triggering for some individuals. The trigger warning involves (but, is NOT limited to): different kinds of ab*se such as: mental/psychical/relationship/etc., societal problems that affect myself/others, bloody/horror/macabre content, mental health/trauma, S*icidal thoughts/ideation/experiences, s*lf-harm, etc. (This isn't all the time but, it's often enough that I feel a warning is warranted.)

PLEASE ASK FOR MY PERMISSION BEFORE USING WHAT I CREATE, AND PLEASE CREDIT/TAG ME WHEN/IF YOU'RE SHARING/USING IT!

I previously had a bad habit for burring my posts in re-blogged posts so, my solution is to have a reblog-blog specifically for me to do that.

While I plan to run other media accounts (below) in hopes to boost my daydreams on how to make a living, I won't be opening accounts that're specifically dedicated to individual projects such as writing/comics/tattoo art/etc. (I can handle juggling "professional" and "personal" accounts at most right now. Maybe eventually I can separate my projects right now, it's just too much. Instagram Snapchat- (Coming Soon) TikTok- (Coming Eventually)

"Professional account" doesn't mean I don't get personal. A lot of my writing and art is fueled by my experiences, opinions, perspective, and mental health so, I do get pretty personal here. I recommend ignoring what doesn't vibe with you, or altogether unfollowing/blocking if need be. As I want others to be boundaried for their best interests this also means, I will block accounts as I see personally fit, my business endeavors are not included in that process. Additionally, this means this blog contains LBGTQIA2+ feminist prop*ganda, puns, and witchcraft. (See tags for more deets.)

I have NO intention of opening sales or commissions on this platform. I am a local artist who primarily paints/makes physical objects; I can't afford shipping products at this point in time, and I'm not planning for it. I'm on Tumblr for three (main) reasons: to find community based on mutual interests/opinions/etc., to show/see art & writing, and to find sh*tposts/memes.

My monetary goals (Short & Long term): Eventually, an online store would be nice but, a couple other things are currently my priorities. For the long-term: It'd be important to me, to make income off my writing (preferably my novel series, "Ruins" but, I also write poetry, short stories, and I'm working on a comic strip, "Blue & Siren") first.

As of right now, I'd like to get to a place where I'm comfortable; able to sustain myself (pay bills/buy food/etc.), consistently find success with markets, and give back to my community.

I changed my name because, "Crafty" felt (and was themed) too specific. 'Manifesting' can mean appearing, creating, or doing witchcraft, while also making a pun out of my name.

Posting Schedule- I'll be juggling my school, work, responsibilities, personal life, artistry, etc. though, I have an idea for how often I'd like to post. The idea of (hopefully) getting on a schedule would be to help limit my time spent doom-scrolling while also trying to make sure I keep up with posting regularly so notifications don't become overwhelming.

Practice makes progress, progress is a process, and perfection is a lie. I'm only human; I'm nuerodivergent, and doing my best. I'm bound to make mistakes, ret-con my own art/lore, and fall into mental-health pits/spirals/burn-out. I will likely not be consistent in what kind of content I post, nor how frequently, I do so. This isn't really to warn/apologize; it's to express that I want to cultivate a safe space for imperfection, to grow/learn.

Swipe to see the video ➡️ 😉❤️ ~ I wanted to do this for a while, I have many songs I've saved on Tiktok to make videos but tbh my videos had been used a lot without crediting me and it's making me mad. I hate reporting people because it's a waste of time, I shouldn't have to do that. For this reason, don't look for this video on Tiktok, the only version is here. ~ To explain quickly, the format on Tiktok is portrait, the watermark automatically appears on top and bottom. But when people save the video and repost it on IG from their device it cropped it square and the watermarks are cut out. As soon as someone repost the cropped version, other people will see it and repost it again from them. At the end thousands of people have seen my video but had no clue I did it. This makes me pretty upset 🙃 ~ Ofc I could block the saving option on my posts but for some reasons it's not working on my account. So I have to make the video on Tiktok, post it in private, save it on my device, edit it with my watermark in a place it wouldn't be cropped and post it on IG. So yeah that's pretty annoying 🙃 ~ So I'll try making again some tiktok videos and hopefully people won't be able to claim them as theirs or disrespect my work. ~ Btw thank you to all the people reporting this kind of issues to me, the ones giving proper credits to the artists and everyone being understanding and respectful ❤️ You're the best ❤️ __________________________________ Art by: @reikochan606 🍥 Follow @reikochan606 for more 🌸 Photography acc: @reikochan_photo 🍭 __________________________________ ⛔Do not repost without proper credits⛔ __________________________________ You can support me on patreon.com/Reikochan606 to get my art in high resolution but also discounts on my commissions and merch 🌱 __________________________________ Please ignore tags : #MysticMessenger #mysme #drawing #Fanart #MysticMessengerfanart #animefanart #digitaldrawing #otomegame #juminhan #mmjumin #yoosungkim #saeranchoi #illustration #tiktok #youcantrytosmoothme #psycho #crazy #mad #dangerous #yandere #possessive #abusive https://www.instagram.com/p/BzeOIlGowFk/?igshid=64ipnx8m5t7j
