buckle up lads we're going BACK INTO THE BOOK

[demonio-fleurs]

To me, what is so fantastic about One Piece Fan Letter is the emphasis on the way the Straw Hats have created these connections in the lives of people they have never met. The ending scene, with all the hands putting together the puzzle pieces, and the way that all these connections came together in one dazzling way-- I loved that. I teared up at that. Wherever the Straw Hats go, they leave behind all of these puzzle pieces for people to put together and create bonds that would not have existed had the Straw Hats not shown up!

And it also just... Makes me so in love with the concept of the world after Luffy becomes King of The Pirates. I know that Oda has the final chapter planned in his head, and I doubt we will really see the long lasting effects of Luffy achieving the title of Pirate King + his dream, and I really do not want a sequel series ala Boruto or Yasahime, but.... I want to see a world in which children believe they can become a Brave Warrior of the Sea thanks to Usopp, I want to see more children look at Nami and realize they don't NEED to have a Devil Fruit or Haki or muscles to have adventures. I want to see the next generation of the One Piece world believe so strongly in their dreams, that they set out to accomplish them.

One Piece Fan Letter really opened the door, I think, for more and more stories about the "regular" people in the world of One Piece, the people you don't see in the arcs because they're the nondescript background characters, and how the Straw Hat Crew has changed them. And I want that. To me, that is fantastic.

What he says...

VS What I read...

("us" as in him and WWX, not the spider just to be clear)

They should make an adaptation called 'The Unfiltered', where Lan Wangji says exactly what's on his mind.

this was a lot of work! i think it might be the prettiest & strangest thing i've made yet. fyi it's felted wool on wire armature. the claws, teeth, and beak are painted modeling foam.

id: pictures of a needlefelted wool creature puppet. this creature is a chimera of flamboyant flamingo and majestic leopard. it's built bizarre and it has no apparent eyes. its torso is made of a leopard's face. the chin is its stomach, with a toothy maw yawning in its midsection. the torso-face's upper lip mimics the pecs of a chest, and attached to that is a set of strong arms with large paws. the cheeks of the torso-face mimic an addition chest, and attached to this is a set of wings. the creature has a second face. from the nose ridge of the torso-face stretches the neck, head, and beak of a flamingo, once again apparently eyeless. its coat is all bright pink with a paler pink undercoat and hundreds of purple spots. on the feathery wings, the spots elongate into rows of streaks. below its knees, its legs are purple with light lavender scales, its feet webbed, three-toed, and clawed. its tail is long, terminating in a feathery bouquet.

POV: You’re staring at the oddly dressed cafe regular next to your table

This started out as a quick thing to try out a new colouring technique! While figuring out what to draw, I found myself really wanting to see Rollo at a cafe… He looked mildly pleased when mentioning the Mostro Lounge in his voice line, so that has to mean something- right??? And he is a coffee drinker!

*stares at disciple SQQ falling into the abyss au*

oh you are so "SY-is-SJ" coded. You are so "fell into the abyss and suddenly remembered that oh i've been Shen Jiu this whole time, not just Shen Yuan. we are one and the same". you are so 'crumbling under the weight of the system and being in the abyss and the despair of never really being free and having suffered in both lives' built. you are so 'scrambling to come to terms with your existence and battling with which life is really yours, only to realize that they both are'. You are primed for going off the rails.

I'm so normal about this guys. i promise.

I watched Conclave and yes, what a great film, 9/10

A visual feast. Each scene is clean and sharp and bright and economical. The scenes aren't machine gunned at you - they're allowed to breathe.

No dumbing down. No over the top explanations.

Sister Agnes.

Lawrence 'I absolutely don't want to know anything about anyone so don't investigate, don't gossip, don't tell me anything. Please. Thank you. Sorry for raising my voice.' spending the entire film investigating, conspiring, and sharing juicy unethically obtained information with everyone.

Sister Agnes and Lawrence and the photocopier.

Lawrence elegantly and brutally knocking out the competition without meaning to.

Bellini 'I want to be Pope like I want a hole in the head, but I'll reluctantly listen to my friends and grudgingly take the job only if it stops the bad guy getting it' wanting it so badly it hurts his soul.

Benitez simultaneously being a cool and warm balm. A fresh approach to solving lingering problems. The answer to Bellini's and Lawrence's prayers and doubts.

Little aquatic friends who like to escape.
