Displaced Destiny — [ First ] [ Previous ] Pages 9-10 [ Next ]

Alright. So. I have had these pages finished for months. I started work on two more and then just accidentally put it off for a long long time. I wanted to keep up the bunches of four for consistency, but at this point some kind of update is more important than the amount of pages in it.

Anyway! This was my first time drawing Makino as well as Magra (who I randomly made the bandit’s doctor for the sake of not having to design a new character)! I personally really like how they both came out! Also, cuz I’m not sure if it’s super clear here, Ventus got that oversized shirt from the bandits.

I will add the links to the other pages soon, but I’ve got some school work that desperately needs my attention right now!

Edit: links have been added!

people are getting mad about a contemporary art thing again so naturally I had to check it out and see if it's as empty, stupid, and pretentious as everyone is saying.

turns out Roman Signer is a down to earth dude with a sense of humour who doesn't take himself too seriously, which was exactly the vibe I was getting from his works.

"falling buckets of sand gee how original, so I guess I was making "art" all the time as a kid then 🙄" yes actually, according to Signer's own philosophy kids are making art all the time and not thinking of it as art. you can disagree with this mindset, but he does not strike me as a man who'd be in any way bothered by someone saying "I can do that myself" and then doing it themself. he strikes me as someone who would in fact encourage doing it yourself, because it's fun.

if he was a pretentious guy in his 20s claiming his pieces are so profound they can only be understood by the elite, sure I'd be annoyed. but he's just a funny lil old Swiss man who does funny and absurd little experiments and encourages you to laugh at them. I can't be mad at that. it's fun and way more accessible than people seem to think.

'it's genocidal to call for an end of Israel where do you want us to go' stay where you are or don't, who gives a shit. you just can't be the only group represented in political authority. you just don't have the right to perform genocide or land capture. you just can't be the boot stamping on everyone else's necks. 🤷‍♀️

the state is not the people. if you don't want to leave Palestine live in Palestine. but Israel does not have a right to exist and you do not have a right to stand above others by the circumstances of your birth. you do not have a right to continue to profit from an ongoing genocide. you do not have a right to supremacy. you do not have a right to gain your comfort at the direct cost of thousands of lives next door. you do not have a right to be colonial overlords. you do not have a right to an ethnostate or a theocracy. you do not have the right to continue to sell on and pass on and profit from land and resources legally gatekept from everyone outside your specific group. you do not have a right to use immigration law to prevent people from returning to their homes while continuing to artificially cultivate a Jewish majority. you do not have a right to displace people to get what you want. you do not have a right to ownership. you have a right to live in safety but you don't have a right to pay in other people's lives for that. and you don't have a right to rule. and Israel does not have a right to exist.

Jews were in Palestine before 1914 and Jews will be in Palestine after Palestine is freed. but as equal citizens not as colonial overlords.

I send two asks separately to not clutter my headcanon with question. I wonder about buggy reaction to shanks getting badly hurt? Would he open up with his true feelings in such stressful situation?

(the other ask anon sent, i believe)

yeah, if he's on the scene when shanks gets hurt i think that's the most likely time for his feelings to come out—buggy just blurting out the honest truth in a moment of panic or fear feels very in line with his impulsive nature.

if he's not there, though, if he just hears about it afterwards, i think buggy probably shuts down. completely silent, no visible reaction—at least, not until someone makes a careless comment in his earshot. then that guy gets torn a new one, buggy shouting furiously for so long that he doesn't notice he's also crying until someone points it out.

[zannolin]

the fact that we don't canonically have much information about grafting makes me a little unhinged btw. like i imagine that it's a delicate process which requires a lot of training and skill and focus (which is cool in its own right, honestly). i imagine it's something a displacer must choose to do consciously, to share a body part with someone else and manipulate the displacement field that way—

but what if it wasn't? what if the limb craves a body? what if the piece yearns to be part of a whole again? what if all it takes is a touch for the ear or the eye or the arm or anything else to remember what it means to be whole and to latch on?

something about displacement fields allowing separation but still holding the body together. something about you can only become so many pieces before that's all you'll be. something about how you can take yourself apart, but your body itself is asking you not to. you know.

meanwhile, over in the displaced rebel AU, bad timeline Matt spent at least two weeks definitely not coping with the loss of his friends, family, and entire home planet by keeping himself busy building lightsabers. he built so many. peaceful timeline Matt is allowed to take one home with him.

everyone who draws kabru n doesn't feel the need to make his entire thing fawning over a white man, i loove you

seriously though some people can Not imagine this guy outside of his relationship to a white person and it makes my head spin. like im sorry but if all you can come up with with kabru is that he wants laios or mithrun just soo bad its all he thinks about, i dont believe you paid attention to his character beyond what he can do/be for the white characters he's with!

Kabru is an incredibly compelling character completely on his own n' it makes me uncomfortable that that's not recognized by some of the fandom.

@taylortaylormoon I am so sorry I think I accidentally deleted the ask you sent me :(

But luckily I have my reply saved!

So to answer your question.

I think that really depends on you lol, I know you came here asking for a second opinion, but I feel like this really is just asking what type of tone and what type of plot beats you want to hit with that tone. Also im probably not the best person to be asking this to see as I’m biased because—

I am personally not someone who likes modern AUs. I feel like characters can easily get washed out by the setting. A lot of times, I feel like the modern setting is just creating characters that I have to relearn about when I come to fanfiction to play around with characters in a setting that I already know. It's lazy, but so am I. It doesn't mean modern AUs can't be amazing; I just don't usually look for them.

Also, I like magic and the fantastical, so having that taken away isn't interesting to me. Sure, it can be a good character study, but I feel it takes away the sort of tone from the original and adds another tone to it, which again isn't bad. It really depends on you! Do you like modern AUs and feel it will add something to your fic? Well then, go right ahead.

But being biased as I am, I do believe this is going to be more about what type of tone you want to set for this. Do you want it to be a sort of fish out of water situation? What could happen if life was better? Just confusing the heck out of Zoro and having bundles of misunderstandings? This I believe can be achieved with either or.

You could even go the horror route, Zoro dropped into a world he doesn't understand with people who are like his people but slightly to the left. A world slightly to the left, no Haki, a different type of world government, rules, and regulations he doesn't understand, technology he doesn't comprehend, even thinking about public school and mandatory education, as well as a body very different than he's used to, etc.

But I also feel like that could take away from the badassness that is Mihawk and Shanks and just puts Zoro with two guys. Like these aren't the Warlord of the Sea and Yonko of Paradise he knows; sure, they share the same face and some mannerisms, but it's just Greg and Dave from accounting. Or maybe you want that. Maybe you want that dissonance that the man I know who beat me, who played me, who will not hesitate to kill me, is maybe in another life, in another world, sweet and kind and loving. Or maybe you want it closer to home? Instead of a modern AU, maybe you want to confuse baby Zoro's memory, that his memories have him realize that, oh, this man would not treat me this way if I were not his son.

Again, I am biased, so take this with a grain of salt. Sometimes, when I'm stuck on questions like this, I'll go find someone I trust and talk out the story and the beats I want to hit. Hey, you can even come to my messages. Just rant to me about it, and eventually, the answer will present itself.

Anyways, hope my general malaise and unconnected rambles helps in anyway. Also, I really like your fic. The idea is bat shit insanely creative and I adore bad shit it’s such an amazing idea. 10/10 will be listlessly waiting for more updates.

Listen. Beating Baldur’s Gate 3 honor mode (and just the game in general lol) had my brain in a vice grip. And then art fight. I need to give myself an actual schedule for this thing if I wanna keep a consistent pace. This page has been done for months, so I might as well post it.

Will add links tomorrow. Edit: Links have been added.

If you’re currently ONLY posting about the Israelis that are doing good things for Palestine/are against what their country is doing and pointing out when certain protestors that are not affiliated with the whole of the free Palestine movement are being antisemitic know I can fucking see you. Obviously these are important things to talk about as Israel does not equal all Jews and antisemitism should be called out every time because it’s fucking serious and disgusting that another entire group of people is being blamed for this genocide other than the colonists in charge and Zionists supporting it but you’re telling on yourself as only interested in covering your own ass and it’s embarrassing. I don’t know how you can see hundreds if not thousands of entire bloodlines being wiped from this earth and instantly think well um hashtag not all Israelis and that’s it. Again. I don’t blame the majority of the Israeli people for what’s happening I blame the governments tied up in this and those in the military who happily post bragging about the shit they stole and destroyed on tiktok. You may not have technically done anything pro Israel but like I said you’re obviously only interested in covering your ass and continuing to be seen as a good person without engaging with the absolute horror the apartheid state of Israel is carrying out and checking your pre existing beliefs.

Just Realized Shadow was the first one to go and will be the last one (or straight up never) to reunite with PMMM Sonic. He is immortal after all

*Once More to See You - Mitski , Starts playing in the background*

Maybe, but I don't really consider Pmmm Sonic's existence to actually be in any kind of afterlife-- after all he's not actually dead, he's just kinda... stuck stranded from existence in any tangible universe or timeline. A really, really messed up chaos control would be more likely to face you with him than death, honestly, since chaos control twists time and space. But, yaknow, it's hard to teleport to someone or someplace that you don't know to look for... but super forms and the chaos emeralds and the master emerald are probably the closest to reaching him, theoretically. But it's still a huge maybe, even then...

I think you are having a different sort of heartbreak. Maybe a kind of heartbreak of being in the world when you don’t know how to be. If that makes any sense?
