watching dressrosa as a spaniard is so funny like you can't even begin to imagine

because at first you're just delighted to see your country serving as inspiration for one piece; between the architecture, the food, the dancing... it's great! you already knew that oda draws inspiration from real countries for his islands, but it never ocurred to you that you'd ever see your own!

then you get to the corrida colosseum and i know what you're thinking: that's roman! and yes, sure, gladiator fights and coliseums are generally associated with italy, but here's the thing: spain was a roman province for a long time, we do have plenty of roman ruins that include small coliseums, and we also have bullfighting rings! bullfighting evolved from gladiator fights, and the arenas are basically coliseums. so, while the corrida colosseum in dressrosa features gladiator fights, it's not entirely roman in its inpiration: there's a bull fighting in luffy's block, and there's the name! in spanish, "corrida" is the name of a bullfighting event, thus "corrida colosseum"

but. well. as it happens, words tend to have more than one meaning. and while "corrida" means what oda presumably researched it means when he named the dressrosa coliseum, it has a second, more widespread meaning.

"corrida" is slang for "ejaculation"

get any average spaniard, say the word "corrida" to them, and they'll be way more likely to think of sex than bullfighting. of course, context matters, and since the corrida colosseum is shaped like a bullfighting arena, the spanish braincell associates the "corrida" in there to the meaning oda was going for. but that doesn't mean that this picture out of context isn't absolutely hysterical for any spaniard:

and then there's that thing about how our former king shot and killed his younger brother, but that's a story for another day

Luo Binghe is the kinda psychopath to pull out scrabble on a date and call it flirting and Shen Yuan is able to respond positively to this because man has zero, negative, and infinity levels of rizz catching all and simultaneously no bitches at once because these radio frequencies are all different lengths in this essay I will...

POUCH!

@bigcats-birds-and-books asked for a pouch to keep masks and things safe in a bag :) years and years ago, someone made me something similar but smaller and I just sat and stared at that for a while before Doing This. Thinking back, I probably should've done a mock up in scrap fabric but nothing went horribly wrong so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

last photo it's stuffed with one of those grocery bags that fold up and fit in a pocket. This was fun and healing and a good brain scratcher thank you!!

[Lance is eating chips in bed. He’s also playing Ed Sheeran toe obby on Roblox OK I DON’T MAKE THE RULES. Keith is sulking on the other side of the bed.]

Lance: *making obnoxious crunching noises*

Keith, turning around: Are you—are you playing ROBLOX five minutes after we fucked??????

Lance: uhh…yeah??? What else did you want me to do?

Keith: uh—I—I don’t know, maybe cuddle?

[Lance shuts his phone and tilts his head in Keith’s direction, eyebrows drawn together in confusion]

Lance: …

Keith: …

Lance: you LITERALLY PUT A KNIFE TO MY THROAT WHEN I TRIED TO DO THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME?!

Keith: well—

Lance, mocking: “nooo, Lance, don’t cuddle me, cuddling is soooo sappy!”

Keith: Wha—no—I didn’t—

Lance: yeah, actually, you were more like “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?” And then you threw me against the wall.

Keith, arms thrown up in defeat: WELL, maybe I was lying! Maybe I DO like to be cuddled!

Lance: …awwww!!

Keith: I changed my mind. I don’t want your hands on me anymore.

Hello colonizer, respectfully stop harassing us proshippers. Unlike what you antis do, I will actually not recommend you killing yourself. Do some self reflection instead

hm, I think that wanting to post about pedophilia and incest (fictional or not!) on apps FULL of minors and creepy adults is a little weird ngl

Hi, I wonder how are you creating your wip? Do you write it in google docs and then code it in Twine? I'm starting making my own and I'm looking for some technical tips

Hi! Thanks so much for the ask! It's always good to see new authors starting their own IFs. This might be a bit long so I'll put everything under a read more for those of you who aren't interested.

For me personally, I write in LibreOffice, which is a free alternative to Microsoft Office/Word. But, you can definitely use Google Docs or whatever other writing program you prefer!

As for coding, you can just code in Twine, but I like to code some as I write so I don't forget when to set certain variables. If you don't want to code anything in your draft, then I'd recommend at least leaving yourself reminders at places you'd like to add variables or when you want to have skill checks or anything else of the sort.

I should mention that a lot of people dislike coding in Twine, the code isn't set apart from the text visually and can be confusing for some, so if that's the case for you, I'd recommend checking out something like Notepad++ for coding and then copy and pasting everything into Twine once you're done.

If you do use Notepad++, and you're also using SugarCube, I'd highly recommend downloading and using this to add SugarCube as a custom language to the program so your code is easier to read. (You'll be able to select it as the coding language in Notepad++ after downloading and following the directions, though you may need to exit and restart the program before it shows up in the language list).

Some other great resources I use: The Twine Cookbook (of course), SugarCube Documentation or Harlowe (if you prefer), some templates (including the one I use!) [1] [2] [3], and w3schools tutorials for basics in CSS and JavaScript (assuming you don't know how to code in them already, if you do, that's great!)

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! I'm no coding expert but I have taken a few classes on Web Dev stuff in college so I know a thing or two.

Best of luck to you on your project anon!😊
