Aww come on!! I hated that the demo ended 😭

Stupid kids I'm totally making my MC a old grumpy dude who used to be very friendly and cheerful and now is just like.. "fuck my life" vibes. I chose every single annoyed choice 🤣🤣

But I loved it for real tho. Hated that it had to end so quickly. Don't trust tht lil shit tho.. he's defs up to something but juniper seems adorable. I know I'm gonna love this IF so much. Probably gna romance the most stubborn irritating character too. 👀

I’m glad you enjoyed the demo!

I’m assuming the “little shit” comment is about Vesper, in which case it’s completely valid to find them suspicious!

I wanted to give an “off” feeling to them so the fact that you don’t trust them means I have succeeded. Their dynamic with “Annoyed” MC is definitely one of the most fun to write!

Thanks for the kind ask ❤️

I see that u like to make the male characters more in depth than the female characters .

Lmao? You got that from what exactly? The ROs haven’t even appeared in game yet?

What I’m assuming you are referring to is the asks I answer - in which case I try to answer questions without giving away too many spoilers - so depending on the asks, certain characters don’t get the same amount of information put in. I also just tend to get more asks about Marlon and Cyrus more than any of the other characters.

I would be happy to talk more about the girls - people just need to send in asks for me to do so.

I would also like to point out - if you have a genuine critique of my games and characters you have every right to send them in - but simply stating something like that without providing any evidence or examples is incredibly insulting and quite frankly unhelpful.

I hope you have a good day and while I don’t personally believe what you have said, I will keep it in mind going forward.

I finally decided to bite the bullet and write something instead of just keeping everything in my head, we will see how this goes,,,, I really enjoyed doing it though, it took a few days but I refuse to spend more than 2 hrs each time so doesnt feel like i've worked too long on it

[aequitas-if]

A few are! Alex’s mentor is a trans woman, MC’s mentor and Vesper are both non-binary, and another member of the Legion is a trans man as well!

are any of your characters trans?

gotta love that the anime added some frames when the strawhats were escaping from the marines at the end of enies lobby, and very injured luffy still wanting to help and fight

and they just use him to repel the incoming attack, same as in the manga asdksffd

monster trio being idiots again (affectionate) ✌️

Favourite pre-timeskip Sanji moments

These are a few of my favourite pre ts sanji moments

(1) Baratie arc when sanji served fresh food for don krieg despite everyone telling him that krieg was notorious for betraying people. Sanji still served the food because of his value of "feeding the hungry no matter what"

(2) Sweet sanji preparing bentos for Luffy vivi and a special drink for Vivi's duck karoo so they can go explore the little garden island. Also packing and tying the lunches for the kids (luffy and karoo) by himself

(3) water 7 Sanji following his principle of "never waste food" while fighting CP7's ramen guy wanze (who had a full ramen armour and sanji cut his armour up and served the ramens all in different plates around the kitchen)

(4) thriller bark Sanji holding an unconscious nami up so she won't get injured while he takes all the hits from Absalom He's not just a simp, he genuinely cares for nami

(5) water 7 Sanji smoking a cigarette while spying and finding out sensitive government information

(6) Post enies lobby filler sanji crying throwing up stressing over finding out the right spices of a fried rice. He is a true chef at heart and has so much love for his craft

(7) post skypiea filler G-8 arc sanji when someone says he is better than all of the navy chefs and sanji cutely offers to give his recipes to them. He is so cute kind and humble

(8) sabaody sanji kicking the Celestial dragon knowing what'll happen and not giving a fuck anyway

(9) skypiea sanji being all big smiles and happy while showing conis the bento he has arranged for her and telling them how arranging food is an art (look at the little winged angel he put there as a representation for conis who has wings)

(10) Sanji leaving a message for nami in water 7, even in the dire situation they were in (usopp left, robin was abducted, they were all accused of murder) sanji being his usual cute loser self

So I've seen some people say that if they were to be a One Piece character, they would be Usopp because "frankly we wouldn't be those overpowered dudes with no fears etc etc" and while I do enjoy people recognizing Usopp is just a guy who tries his hardest in a world full of monsters I'm like I don't think you would be Usopp cause would you be able to survive as a kid all alone for 11 YEARS ? Imagine you at 7 years old gardening, cooking, doing laundry, cleaning the house, reparing the house, ALL ALONE (I'm thinking about Usopp surviving all those years more than I should, I know I know). Bet the house wouldn't still be there if it were me, I wouldn't even be there at all.

And would you really try to chat and cheer up the freaking rich girl next door ? Like when you already have so much troubles of your own, how could you even try to liven others up ? The idea to ask her for a bit of money surely never crosses his mind and he probably never talked about his situation to her. Would you even try to risk your own life to save her, though when you tell her the enemy's plan she doesn't even believe you and says you're a terrible person and slaps you ?

And when you've decided to set sail with fellows you've met days ago, a few months later the captain, your so called bestie, just throws you in the face a magazine to look at new boats cause "hey we're changing ships" cause understanding the feelings of your friends and talking them through seems way too hard to even try... (this is beyond me). Would you even still consider him your friend when he just says if you ain't happy with it, just walk out the freaking door ? and none of your friends except one steps in ?

Would you even try to risk your life to save one of your friends when you feel so ashamed and guilty you can't even look them in the eyes ? And would you really consider getting back with those friends when your bestie decided to just take in the crew your very own enemy - the guy who's the reason you were so physically and mentally wrecked - and expecting you to come back with him and be buddies without asking you if you're okay with this ? But whatever cause you've already befriended that guy who'd destroyed you and even forgiven him cause MEN DON'T HOLD GRUDGES ?!? Would you even apologize ON YOUR KNEES to those very friends who seem ready to leave you behind when there are bombs flying all over the place ?

Nah I won't do any of this. Like I know it's not that deep, but please let's be real, we couldn't ever be Usopp (let's not even talk about his abilities with his slingshot, his story telling and other skills...), if we really were to be characters in One Piece, it would be those random people who just tortured Tenryubito's children just cause we're bitter and resentful and hateful or those silly people on Dressrosa who just changed sides every minute of the day or for the kindest and strongest of people at there, random pirates on Foxy's crew.

“I want to live!” what if i start sobbing screaming throwing up RIGHT NOW.

[enihk-writes]

Question, are you okay with writing about yandere? Bcs if yes, I genuinely need ur thoughts on CM as one :3

So, I've been reading the novel (ngl, the manhwa's pace is concerning) and I have begun to notice how determined and obsessive of a person he can be—per se in helping the sect to grow, killing the demon cult members, etc. How loyal and faithful he is—to the sect and his sahyung, specifically. How easily attached is he to the right person—like with the new mount hua sect, the gang ofc. And many more, JUST, like, I had the realization how much potential he has as a yandere and it got me tweaking (ofc, I do not mean to downplay CM's character just like that, he is an amazing guy with flaws, and charm, pls don't come at me)

If not, then please ignore this ask, thank you for listening to my rant <333

(!!) this is a reader self-insert discussion

nah because you got me tweaking as well like this guy has the ingredients to be a classic yandere,, i think everyone's favourite hc is that jang ilso is an extremely possessive yandere and cm is kinda like that except that he's got more "social awareness" courtesy to chung mun which makes him reel in his unsavoury behaviours...

i imagine that he's always been very protective over what he deemed as his — his family, his home, his friends and if there were anything that came along to threaten that normalcy, he would never just stand by to let it happen.

which might have lead to him being so casually cruel with the ones he deem as the "outsider" or the ones who would not help his people. i.e. the demonic cult, the sapa, the other sects and organisations that watched mount hua fall...

when a man who's already this obsessive on the daily towards his platonic relationships, can you imagine how it's going to be like when he falls in love with someone???

in my canon, cm and tb definitely fell for each other like idk abt yall but their old man yaoi was so real to me.... and cm stuck by tb's side alot even though cm never really confirmed nor denied his feelings for tb, because he kept thinking that they still had so much time left until they didn't...

(x reader) content beyond this point

in his 2nd life, he went about determined to never fall in love with anyone ever again but when he does inevitably fall for someone new, cm decided that he won't make the same mistake twice. he doesn't waste his time and lets you know right then that he likes you. whether or not you accept his confession doesn't matter — he would still treat you the same like everyone else. except that i think that he's going to be so much harder on you compared to the rest during training.

his logic here is:

train you to be the strongest you can be > higher chance of survival > can stay by his side for a much longer time

he won't be kind, he won't coddle you either and it's to the point where if you and him were together, you'd begin to wonder if he even likes you at all.

the one time you asked him to take it easy on you, that you were almost at your limit for the day... and he said no... and it pissed you off so much that all the frustration piling up quietly within your heart poured out through tears and you asked if he's ever loved you.

cm is stunned, but only for a moment before he says that he does; so stop being ridiculous and pull yourself together.

none of that soothed you so you ask him why he's so mean to you? and cm finally snapped, you're not making sense to him — he thinks that what he's doing is the best thing he could do for you, and if you can't keep up, maybe you should quit being a disciple and just live as a civilian. and because you can't fight anymore he should move you in with him. you two could play house as much as you wanted in a place that only he knew about, under his watchful eye you would never get hurt and you both would get what you both want... is this the life you are asking him to give you?

what were you supposed to say to that? if that was his way of showing his love for you, then it wasn't the type of love you'd want. you had to get away somehow... but we're talking about one of the strongest swordsman in the jiangshu... how were you?

you tried, to your credit, like a fish in a net — but cm is smart, he figures out what you need and always strives to fulfill them all, that way you can't say you're leaving him because he can't give you what you want.

in the end, you'll be so tired out that you let him do whatever he desires, much to cm's delight. the experience had taught him how to be more considerate towards his lover, and he thanks you with unwanted kisses in a show of unfiltered affection.

finally... finally you were going to stay here with him for good.

he… he looks like he’s angy

Some Robin doodles and a WIP!

[aequitas-if]

I hope you all know none of the characters I write are completely cis or straight.

[prodigy-if]

So I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I’ve officially decided that I am wanting to allow NSFW asks for the ROs.

This will be more of a trial run to see how comfortable I feel writing that kind of material and seeing if I want to add in those kind of things in game (with a fade to black/ignore option obviously).

So feel free to send in any asks of that kind if you want. I don’t know if this is going to be a long term thing but I am going to give it a shot.

nico robin and her smile

hiiii ok has anyone else ever thought about the person robin was before joining the straw hats? like who she was when she was at her worst? because i do. a lot. so go along with me here

from her introduction, robin has this very small smile that feels cunning and is seemingly meant to taunt luffy and co. it creates a sense that there's a canyon's depth of difference in power between her and the others.

robin's is a subtle character in her expressions compared to most other major characters in the series. and i think it fits her background of having to work in subterfuge. (???)

she maintains this expression throughout multiple scenes. the same shape of her smile that is so exact that it has to be with intention. this is the face of ms. all sunday. this is the person robin had to be in order to survive.

and yet each one still has it's differences and that's robin being not so perfect at hiding her true feelings (which btw i love that robin will always be exactly who she is). she's stressed or even strained at times. while also feeling perfectly at ease, but still performing a role.

i think for the most part. robin didn't mind what she had to do or who she had to be. because she's pragmatic, but she was definitely bothered by vivi and the strawhats. they're the ones who cause robin to show anything other than that static smile. notably when she is faced with vivi and luffy's determination.

and i've rambled about it once before robin is a kind woman at heart and who has a soft spot for the crew + vivi. their earnestness breaks through her own desire/need to not care for the effect her actions have on the lives of others.

notably the only times robin does seem to genuinely smile is in small sudden outbursts around luffy when something he does makes her laugh.

and throughout the rest of the alabasta arc. robin's clearly uncomfortable with facing the real destruction of alabasta at crocodile and her hands. later revealing that she never planned on helping him obtain the poseidon weapon. she never once smiles, instead dropping everything to focus on getting to the poneglyph.

after that though? she does her miss all sunday smile one last time when she asks luffy to join his crew. it's a famous panel, we all know it, we all love it.

the longer robin was with the straw hats. the more she began to genuinely smile. it's well established that being on the crew brought back joy and laughter into robin's life, that being with them gave her a reason to live again. but it was a slow start until we got to see this robin more often and more freely who is cheered by everyone's bright youth and excitement in being alive in a ways that she never had been allowed.

[enigmasandepiphanies]

talking to new people is so exciting and so exhausting because we are all performing in this getting to know act and it's informative and fascinating but also so repetitive I am enjoying but I am sorta tired of performing this script, need a canon divergence in my life only
