Yup. We're doin the ghost pirate thing.

Am I leaning too far into the self-indulgent writing? Is it wrong for something that started out as a joke in the text to come full circle only a chapter later? Is it too late for me to be asking this question?

Dang…all I can say is that this next chapter of GOU…I’M A HOPELESS ROMANTIC AHHHUFOFHIEWFHEOH 😭😭😭

Man one thing that strikes me about writing Ed's backstory is just how easily he falls in love. And not romantic love, not like that, but he falls in all forms of love. He falls in love with people that are kind to him, people that he admires, people that he doesn't mean to love, but does anyway. People who, loving them, will be to his detriment.

Because Ed just likes people and that's what makes him so fascinating. I am seeing this in the show too, even in s2, especially with S2 in a way because it's such a contrast. He is in the middle of a hell, his own and inflicting that hell on his crew, but he also asks if they had cake. He's both caring for them and abusing them (trying, I think, as many have said, to get them to kill him) and, ultimately, he does care for Izzy as well. Which is not to say that Ed can't be a brutal fuck because he can be but like Pete said: He's not a bloody monster. And he has a tenderness of heart for others, especially others that he's close to. And I think that's just kind of special.

I really love writing small scenes like this, especially between Ace and Luffy, they feel so insignificant but so satisfying

if you're trying to get into the head of your story's antagonist, try writing an "Am I the Asshole" reddit post from their perspective, explaining their problems and their plans for solving them. Let the voice and logic come through.

I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.

Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;

just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

Is that another TYpO
