[blacknovelist]

Likely due to the reveal of HADES II, the game HADES and its soundtrack are both currently on big sale! Which makes this an EXCELLENT time to pick it up, if you haven't got em!

(Their other games are not on sale atm but it's likely they will for the holidays— keep your eyes peeled!)

Pilfering the intro and explanation from @izfaish and @zrllosyn bc this one is a new game to me 👀

rules: in a new post, post the names of all the files in your wip folder regardless of how non descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet and tell us about it!

CONFESSION I don’t have a traditional WIPs folder because I use Scrivener, so most of my projects are pretty generically named. Still might find some of them fun though?

No pressure to play, but tagging—

@azalea-korita @painthorseblues @littlestartopaz @shadowstalker732 and @blacknovelist (who I know has already been tagged but—)

[megneato]

FF14 commission for @blacknovelist !!

[t00thpasteface]

@blacknovelist in the sea of people in the tags who can't handle any sort of tragedy or unhappy ending, You Get It!!!!!

unstoppable force (i want to see this tragic character survive and heal) vs immovable object (their death was the most thematic and narratively satisfying resolution possible for their character arc and anything less than death just feels cheap)

[daredussy]

4, 14, 15 and 22 for Tatooine? (๑•﹏•)

4. Is your oc good at keeping secrets?

Yes. He’s very quiet and gives of general trustworthy vibes so people end up just telling him things and we’ll he’s generally good at keeping secrets … sometimes he’ll spill to his squad mates when they’re looking for a little bit of gossip… but no one else

14. If your oc spent one day free from any consequences or recognition for their actions how would they act?

I think he’d just take the opportunity to wander Coruscant’s upper levels without being harassed and he’s not above stealing shit he wants so maybe he’d indulge himself with food and whatever…. He’d also definitely find some way to humiliate anakin

15. What is his morning routine like?

Depends on how much sleep he got. If it’s not a lot give him 20 minutes to just sit in bed and boot up . But if he wakes well rested he’s up in and out the fresher and dressed in 20 mins top and on his way to the mess to grab himself some breakfast and get Sand his first cup of caf, then on his way for the rest of the day

22. What’s your oc’s dream job? Is it similar to what they’re doing now? Do they believe they could ever achieve this dream?

Tatooine tries not to think about it too much. He knows he was bred for this war and is unlikely to see the end of it. He does know that he wants to be somewhere warm and relatively dry after growing up on Kamino (sort of why he picked his name) and he wants to work with his hands.. maybe a carpenter or gardener??

[tmos-time]

BIRTH??? is Cooper's BIRTHDAY??? Happy Birth, dude!!!! And also, happy Friday :P I hope u have a sincerely rad one, in spite of any weird-ass nonsense going on with life and the scene, bc u deserve it and are awesome (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧🎉🎂🎂🎈🎊🎊

AAAA thank you so much novel!!!!! ✨😊✨

[blacknovelist]

(one piece wano arc spoilers)

So like @guardianlioness and I were talking about one piece and thematic stuff and generally losing our minds and we were talking especially about like

How Zoro and Sanji and Luffy are a Trio but also how Zoro and Sanji are explicitly also painted to be a duo to Luffy, right, like. They're the "Wings of the Pirate King". Together, they protect and look after the crew, but also their captain. They are, effectively, equals in what they do, "official" roles IN the crew itself aside. Zoro, with his high physical power as their physical defense and Sanji, with his high empathy and compassion as an emotional bulwark

And

Like

Okay. Here's the thing. Here's the proverbial problem. Cause right now, as it stands, Oda's introduced an unbalance to the duo. We were specifically talking about how frustrating it kind of is that the imbalance exists.

Because Oda gave Zoro conqueror's haki. He and Luffy share this— but it leaves Sanji as an odd one out. Thematically, it makes no sense to end with this like... off kilter seesaw. Why would you build these two up to BE on even standing only to take that away from them? Don't get me wrong, Zoro having conqueror's haki is a delicious character choice that I think adds fascinating complexity to Zoro and his position in the crew. He's a powerhouse, he's exerting his will over reality, and he follows his Captain the future Pirate King without question. Haki. Love it. Brilliant. But it makes no sense in the overarching thematic line between him and Sanji in regards to Luffy.

Giving Sanji conqueror's naturally wouldn't fix the issue, because frankly that defeats the entire purpose OF the char building that's been established in whole cake island. Sanji rejected the line of noble, of royalty, of power. It makes no SENSE for sanji to have it, he's not someone looking TO conquer or overcome the way Zoro is, it doesn't FIT him. And saying the stuff with his raid suit and the Germa augmentation rearing its head is the balance point is nonsensical for the same reason. Sanji already rejected all of that power and what it means and reclaimed it in a new way. Explicitly, directly, he denounced these things, directly ASSOCIATES them with a loss of humanity and his very self, wants nothing more to DO with it. Not only does it not make sense, but going back on it would be a slap in the face to all the development Sanji's gone through up until now, even laying aside the fact that it doesn't parallel Luffy at all so the unbalance isn't really addressed in that case.

But you know. Conqueror's Haki isn't the only thing Luffy has to proverbially offer. Conqueror's Haki is the overt, the direct, the loud and forceful. There's a lot we don't understand, between the stuff we do. It bears down and exerts over reality, makes demands of it. It tells you to listen.

What do we know about The Voice Of All Things? Not a lot. We know it seems to enable one to hear not the words, but the intention, the truth of other living things and even in objects, especially those with will like the Poneglyphs. We know Roger had it, Zunesha has it, the Kozuki line seemed generally to have it. The Three Eyed tribe may be capable of awakening it in themselves. We don't know if it's purely something you're born with or not. We don't know what it means, if anything, except for this: to hear the voice is to listen to the world around you and understand its heart.

When Luffy enters Gear 5, the only one who can tell at first is Zunesha. Zunesha can hear his heartbeat, and conveys this through the Voice to Momonosuke.

The anime conveys it more clearly, but it's in the manga text, too. Immediately after Zunesha realizes this... Onigashima is shaking. No one quite knows yet what's going on, other than Kaido is here and the world around them is trembling. Those on the battlefield, they've got front row seats to witnessing the transformation, what comes next.

Zoro and Sanji have finished their fights. They're conked the fuck out post battle, like usual... or they should be. But here's the thing. Right after Zunesha calls for Joyboy, from a room distant to the fighting, offset from the war waging outside...

Sanji's part in the major battles is over by this point. If they wanted to emphasize a "the crew knows their captain" moment, why not showcase the other strawhats too? The ones not on ground zero? But it doesn't show anyone else. It focuses. on. him.

Sanji, who's a deeply compassionate and kind man. Sanji, who stopped and paid attention even to the biological relatives he couldn't stand when he could've walked free without a care. Sanji, with his skills in Observation, in already listening to and feeling out others' intentions...

Zoro having conqueror's haki doesn't make sense on its own. It unbalances the duality of the Wings of the Pirate King. But give Sanji the power to hear the Voice Of All Things or something damn well close... that's a pretty good parallel to each other and their roles to Luffy, don't you think?

OH OH lay on 6, 14 and 42 on me for that song thing pls? (人 •ᴗ•)

Liriel for Blacknovelist

[bonuscatart]

How Intreeguing by Datawyrms (Verl)

When Undergrowth attempts to take over the city, things go poorly for their hybrid defender. He can't reach the portal in time. The results are unpleasant for Amity Park.

Me, Myself and I by Pokeshadow55 (Blacknovelist)

She would know that red hair, the specific shade of teal in her eyes, the familiar black shirts and lithe frame. It's impossible to really forget who you used to be after all, isn't it?

Daydreams by Marsalias (also on FFN)

Nocturne has discovered Danny's Obsession with space. It would be remiss of him not to use that to his advantage.

"All Ghosts Are Evil" by BedheadAries (also on FFN)

All ghosts are evil, and it isn't a flawed bias. Danny realizes what the absences, the missing hours of the day and nights, the scars and wounds meant for him.

if it looks like you and snarls like you by faedemon (also on FFN)

There is a ghost living in Danny's mirror, and it is not him, no matter how it wears his face, or bears the same crawling scars.

Someone send me some Danny Phantom angst

Art or fanfics, I don’t care. I wanna be in pain

🍎🐶🎤u give off indescribably powerful but still usually chill vibes. Like you're holding a weapon but use it to do mundane shit like open doors or slide plates across the table or do art. At this point u merely exist and it's rad as heck!! (Also someday when I have time I'm gonna watch that rise of the tmnt show and it's gonna be ur fault and I can't even be mad cause that TMNT shit was my childhood and it looks fab)

honestly that last one is 10000% right, and yknow i am more of a feminine androgynous but it aint on purpose LMAO

[sevi007]
