One nitpick I have about Cheetah (any of them really) is when she’s drawn with rosettes instead of solid spots

Cheetahs have solid dark spots

Leopards and Jaguars have rosettes

Rosettes vs. Solid Spots

Tagging - in no particular order: @honorhearted (Benjamin Tallmadge - straight but an ally to the core, or at least I'd hope so... hopefully the Major is well aware of the bi disaster he is getting involved with), @apphrodite (pan), Lestat de Lioncourt (bisexual-biromantic - if I tagged every Lestat I interacted with I'd run out of space, but <3), @2kyears (pan). @eclipsecrowned (Gabrielle de Lioncourt - lesbian), @gentlejack (the butch lesbian of... ever).

Toi et moi, île dans la ville, sous la pluie, mis au monde, mêlés ensemble comme la terre et l'eau avant le partage,

Pluie sur la vitre. Si j'abandonne ton corps couché et pars en songe aussi, soulève des arches de pluie, quitte la chaleur du lit, goûte le sel des eaux marines à l'horizon roulées, toute la terre accessible, pareille à un tapis,

Toi, ta parole et ton silence, ta vie et ta beauté, ton amour me ramènent inlassablement, tel un rosier sauvage qu'on allume dans la nuit, sous la pluie.

Anne Hébert

[petit-atelier-de-poesie]

En cas d’amour : que faire ? Axe autour duquel tourne toute vie : aimer, être aimé. Avec toutes ces déclinaisons : reconnaissance, peur d’être abandonné, morsure de la jalousie, désir de possession, envie, délivrance, haine, détachement, paix. Est-ce d’avoir été porté dans un ventre qui nous rend ainsi à la merci de ce sentiment inconstant et sauvage pour lequel nous sommes prêts à abdiquer tout le reste ? Nos secrets ont pour axe cet amour. Le malheur est que l’on veuille y faire entrer toute une vie, et concilier passion, amour et paix, comme si la violence était un pur accident, la fragilité une erreur et l’ennui un handicap passager.

[roseaesynstylae]

I want to put down all the references in the Worst Generation (excluding the Straw Hats and Blackbeard) and the named members of their crews. I'm getting my information from the wiki and adding my own theories/comments where necessary. Ever since I read JoJo, I love finding references in manga.

Fire Tank Pirates

Capone Bege: His surname is obviously taken from Al Capone (whom he also shares his birthday with) and his given name is based on the English privateer William le Sauvage. Him being stated to cut animals' heads off is a nod to the horse head scene from The Godfather.

Vito: His name seems to be taken from Vito "Don Vito" Genovese, a mobster/crime boss from Al Capone's era, and the first name of Don Corleone from The Godfather.

Gotti: He seems to be named after John Gotti, a mobster who ran the Gambino crime family in the 80s (He was nicknamed 'the Telfon Don' due to him facing three trials and being acquitted every time -- the results were caused by jury tampering and witness intimidation-- before being finally sent to prison in 1992).

Chiffon: She's named after chiffon cake, which she also specializes in making.

Pez: His name is the Spanish word for fish, as well as a nod to the candy brand, keeping with the Charlotte Family naming theme.

Bonney Pirates

Jewelry Bonney: Her name is taken from the 18th-century Anne Bonney, who, like Bonney herself, was a noble turned pirate.

Hawkins Pirates

Basil Hawkins: His surname is taken from 17th-century English pirate Basil Ringosel and his given name from 16th-century pirate/privateer John Hawkins. Hawkins is also the name of the protagonist of the 1883 adventure novel Treasure Island (which had a massive impact on the depiction of pirates in popular culture) by Robert Louis Stevenson, who also wrote The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Visually, his design is based off of Joey Jordison of Slipknot.

Faust: He's named after the legendary character Faust, who sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for knowledge and worldly pleasures. The story was most famously told by 15th-century playwright Christopher Marlowe in The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus and by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in Faust.

On Air Pirates

Scratchman Apoo: His surname seems to be based on the practice of "scratching" records when DJing, tying into his association with music. His first name is taken from the Qing dynasty pirate Chui A-poo.

Kid Pirates

Eustass Kid: He's named after the 13th-century pirate and mercenary Eustace the Monk and the 17th-century Scottish (which Kid would be if he existed in the real world) pirate William Kidd, who was also called "Captain."

Kid's Attacks: I decided this needed its own entry. Punk Gibson (Kid's giant arm) -- Named after the US guitar manufacturer Gibson. Punk Rotten (the giant scrap metal head and arms) -- Named after Johnny Rotten, the name John Lyndon used when he was the frontman of the influential punk band Sex Pistols. Punk Vise (Crushing a target with Punk Rotten's hands) -- As "vice" and "vise" are spelled the same way in katakana, this attack might be named after the British punk rock band Vice Squad. Punk Pistols (a harpoon gun made out of metal pieces that acts like a Gatling gun) -- Named after Sex Pistols. Punk Corna Dio (the giant bull he used to attack Big Mom) -- Corna is Italian for horns, alluding to the sign of the horns in heavy metal, while Dio references Ronnie James Dio, who was very big in that genre; no, I'm not making the obvious joke. Damned Punk (the giant railgun he used to blast Big Mom off Onigashima) -- Probably named after the British punk rock band The Damned. Punk Clash (after magnetizing someone with his Awakened Devil Fruit, they attract very large and pointy metal pieces) -- Named after the British punk band The Clash.

Killer: His laugh alludes to the song 'Psycho Killer' by the New Wave band the Talking Heads, as the chorus is the same ("fa fa fa fa fa"). The song might be the source of his name. His helmet strongly resembles that of Daft Punk member Guy-Manual de Homem-Christo.

Heat: He's likely named after the experimental rock band This Heat.

Wire: He might be named after the English rock band Wire.

Gig: In keeping with the Kid Pirates' music-related theme naming, a gig is slang for a live show.

Dive: She's likely named after stage-diving, a common practice among musicians and their fans.

UK: His name may come from the UK, where many classic punk bands originated from (ie, the Clash, Sex Pistols). Alternately, he might be named after the Sex Pistols' song 'Anarchy in the UK.'

Pomp: He's likely named after pomp rock, more commonly known as arena rock (examples of bands known for arena rock: Styx, Toto, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Boston).

Bubblegum: His name seems to be a reference to bubblegum music (rock and pop in a catchy and upbeat style marketed toward children), which influenced punk rock, new wave, and melodic metal.

Reck: He's named after the bassist of the Japanese punk rock band Friction.

House: She's named after the electronic music subgenre house music.

Boogie: He's probably named after the electronic club music subgenre called boogie.

Mosh: He's likely named after moshing, a rather violent form of dancing. Appropriate for a member of a crew known for their violence.

Hip: She's named after hip-hop.

Papas: He's named after the folk rock group The Mamas & the Papas, the indie rock band Papas Fritas, or both.

Jaguar: He's likely named after the Fender Jaguar electric guitar. Alternately, his name could come from Mick Jagger's last name, as "Jagger" and "Jaguar" are spelled the same way in katakana.

Quincy: Her name likely comes from the producer and musician Quincy Jones, who produced Michael Jackson's albums Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad, and has 80 Grammy Award nominations and 28 Grammys.

Hop: She's named after hip-hop.

Compo: He might be named after an abbreviation of 'musical composition.'

Disc J: His name pretty clearly comes from disc jockey, more commonly known as DJ.

Fallen Monk Pirates

Urouge: He's named after the 16th-century Ottoman Pirate Oruc Reis. He seems to be based off of Grigori Rasputin, who needs no introduction, and/or Ji Gong, a Chinese monk known for having supernatural abilities, behaving bizarrely, and not following Buddhist monastic rules. Interestingly, both these figures have movies (Rasputin the Mad Monk, a 1966 Hammer horror film starring Christopher Lee as the titular character, and the 1993 Hong Kong film The Mad Monk) that might have inspired his epithet.

Drake Pirates

X Drake: Drake is sometimes synonymous with dragon, especially in Middle English; appropriate, given that dinosaur bones likely inspired legends of dragons. His name is also taken from 16th-century pirate and adventurer Francis Drake. Random (but likely not a deliberate reference) fact: He shares his birthday with the singer/rapper Drake.

Heart Pirates

Trafalgar D. Water Law: His surname is taken from Cape Trafalgar in the south of Spain, which was the site of a battle between the British and French/Spanish fleets which famously killed Lord Nelson. His name is taken from 18th-century pirate Edward Low, who was notorious for violently torturing his victims before killing them, which may have inspired Law's own reputation for cruelty.

Bepo: He might be named after Lord Byron's poem 'Beppo.' He's also likely named after bear, polar.

Shachi: His name is the Japanese word for killer whale, which makes his friendship with Penguin (who's named after killer whales' preferred food) kind of funny.

Jean Bart: His name comes from the 16th-century French privateer Jean Bart.

Ikkaku: Her name means 'narwhal' in Japanese.

Uni: His name comes from the Japanese word for sea urchin.

Clione: 'Clione' is the Latin name for sea angels.

Hakugan: His name means 'snow goose' in Japanese.

A Glimpse of Camelot

It's been awhile since I've posted. But that's because I've been caught up with university, work, and writing - specifically writing something new. Not new to me, but new to the internet of course.

Aside from my Anne Boleyn novel-in-progress, I've been working on a retelling of the Arthurian legends. I grew up watching Merlin (BBC) as a kid, and I wanted to continue that world for myself. But it has evolved into so much more. I wanted to focus more on the main female characters of the legends - namely Guinevere and Morgana. And thus those are our two main perspectives throughout the novel.

The first few chapters of this work-in-progress have been workshopped and I feel confident that they will not change (much) as I continue to write. So I wanted to share some of this story - this story I've been creating for three years now, and a story I hope to continue creating past the initial novel.

This will eventually be published (I am hoping and manifesting) - so please follow along. This will be a story filled with magic, epic love, and heroic battles. There will be some familiar stories and characters, and some of my own creation, my own addition to these legends I've heard so much of.

Here is Part 1 of the first chapter, told from the perspective of Lady Guinevere, a seventeen-year-old noble maiden:

Lady Guinevere sat at the back of her father’s carriage, her eyes set on the trees that rushed past, creating a blur of green and brown. The journey was long, and she was restless. Her hands moved restlessly across the ornate fabric of her dress, which was a shade that matched the blurring leaves of the trees she observed. Every once in a while, she picked a tree to focus on, and let her eyes travel with it for a moment. It was all she could do to fill the time, as she had already finished her needlework of a white rose, the only thing that kept her from having to converse with her father.

Sir Leodegrance, or Leo as his close friends called him, was a kind and merry man, but he wasn’t Mother, despite how much he tried to be. Mother was dead. She had caught the sweating sickness while Father was in Camelot almost a year ago now. He never got to say goodbye… but maybe that had been a good thing. The memory of Mother slipping away before her eyes still haunted Guinevere’s thoughts. She had only been sixteen…

Father had been overly optimistic ever since, an obvious ploy to hide his grief. But still, he couldn’t look Gwen in the eye. She was painfully aware of her similarity to her mother, and she knew that Father saw her mother in every glance. Perhaps the less she acted like Mother the less she would look like her, she thought to herself.

Suddenly, the carriage jolted upwards, followed by a rare huff of disappointment from her father. She glanced over at him. His leather journal lay in his lap, a charcoal sketch of the landscape outside scarred by a stray mark of pencil, undoubtedly caused by the carriage’s upheaval. Father loved his sketches, especially ones of nature. Gwen returned her eyes to the trees, and she heard the scribbling resume. She lay her head on the wooden side of the carriage, anticipating a nap. They would not reach the Forest of Sauvage for at least another afternoon.

This was the first time that Gwen had travelled to the Forest, and it would be her first time at the summer festival held there annually. It was an important event for sons of noble birth, but alas, Gwen was an only child, and a daughter, so there was never a need to attend anyways. She didn’t ask why when her father suggested they attend this year. She quietly assumed it was because he was lonely; this was their first summer without her mother. Sir Ector was an old friend of her father’s, and she hoped their reconciliation would bring her father some happiness, or at the very least, some laughter.

The carriage jolted again, this time downwards. It slowed to a stop, the splintering of wood echoing throughout the inside of the carriage.

“Bloody hell,” Father swore under his breath. He pushed open the carriage door, his journal still in hand.

“The wheel seems to have broken, sir,” their  coachman informed him. “It can’t be repaired here. We’ll have to find a woodworker nearby to fix it.”

Father began to ruffle through his journal and pulled out a loose piece of parchment. He unfolded it carefully, revealing a handwritten map, most likely of his own creation.

“We should be fairly close to Sir Ector’s lands on the outskirts of the Forest of Sauvage,” her father mused.

“Perhaps he has a woodworker in his employ.”

“Should I take one of the horses and request Sir Ector’s assistance?”

“Yes, yes, do that. And hurry, if you will, there are only a few hours of daylight left!”

The carriage door swung open, and Father took his previous seat.

“What shall we discuss in the meantime, my dear Guinevere?”

3 Ships You Like: Dream of the Endless (Morpheus)/Hob Gadling/Calliope (Sandman), Sadia/Cristal (Starmania), Eric "Bitty" Bittle/Kent "Parse" Parson (Check Please!)

First Ship Ever: probably either the two protagonists in the Chinese webnovel 撒野 (SAYE Act Wildly) (rip my 晉江 days wasting my youth away on jjwxc dot net) or two characters from a Chinese webcomic about four roommates in the same university dorm room?? (I don't even remember its title, it's probably something something 宿舍, I found them on wechat for some reason) I joined fandom earlier than when I started shipping characters though. I remember not being interested in ships but very obsessed with Maglor in Silmarillion when I was in middle school...

Last Song You Heard: RUNA "La Ziguezon" from When the Light Gets In (I happen to be listening to the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, and it's the song that's on right now)

Favourite Childhood Book: Anne of Green Gables. I reread this book SO many times.

Currently Reading: A collection of Scar Literature published in Taiwan in the 80s.

Currently watching: will be watching Les Crevettes Pailletées in a few hours :DD

Currently consuming: an inadvisable number of biscuits. (also dairylea dunkers without the dip - apparently that's scandalous)

Currently craving: a fucking break & hugs

[lu-luvslestat]

Lestat is by far my favorite Vampire and the only book i have read 3 times in my live are The Vampire Lestat. I love it, this book have a soul. THANK YOU Anne Rice for all this chronicle, but it so annoyimg to see what they are doing with this chef d'oeuvre de la litterature when come the time to create a tv show or a movie.. Any respect, any taste, any finesse... With that serie they killed Lestat for good and burried him with is real creator, Anne Rice. Its a shame. I would like so much a good movie on Lestat, they put in the garbage the better book of all this story.. Seeing him kill them wolves En Auvergne en France au 19e, le voir passer dhumain a Vampir, comme cest vraiment ecrit, le voir se saouler avec Nicolas a la taverne la ou il parle pour la premiere fois du "jardins sauvage" bin saoul, une vision tellement simple, romantique et esthetique qui donne le gout de tout laisser pour repartir sur la route et aller jouer dans se grand jardins ou il me reste tant de nouveau bosquet a explorer, dodeur a sentir, de creature a admirer et de victime a deguster... HAHA Jai abusé pas mal mais bref jai aimé ca moi aussi, c tout lol

well! you're very passionate lol. I never read the second book but I actually thought the TV show had a good spin on the books and I really loved it. regardless, Lestat is definitely an amazing character in so many ways so we totally agree on that.

French translation: (désolé si c'est mauvais lol)

eh bien ! tu es très passionné. Je n'ai jamais lu le deuxième livre, mais en fait, je pensais que la série télévisée avait une bonne tournure sur les livres et je l'ai vraiment adoré. Quoi qu'il en soit, Lestat est définitivement un personnage incroyable à bien des égards, nous sommes donc totalement d'accord sur ce point.

Elle s’est perdue au milieu des arbres

Elle s’est perdue au milieu des arbres

Parmi les feuilles qui changent constamment.

Elle a pleuré sous le ciel sauvage

En écoutant les étoiles raconter

les histoires des temps anciens.

Les fleurs poussaient vers sa lumière

Les rivières appelaient son nom la nuit.

Elle ne pouvait pas vivre une vie ordinaire

Avec tous les mystères de l’univers

Cachés dans ses yeux.
