I think it’s interesting how as time goes on Zoro kind of becomes more and more like mihawk in some ways whether that’s just because if you spend time with someone for 2 years you’re bound to pick up their habits or a deliberate attempt to emulate him is a conversation for another time. And Mihawk and Zoro where already pretty similar at the start so it’s a little hard to notice now.

But yeah whether unconsciously or consciously Zoro is becoming a bit more like Mihawk and it’s interesting to think that while this means maturing in some ways (he’s swordsmanship for one but he’s also just quieter much more assured of himself) it also means deaging in some others.

Despite their significant age gap and general dispositions, when it comes down to it Zoro is just a lot more emotionally mature and developed than Mihawk is. And a big part of why is because he found something larger than himself to devote his life too, hell Mihawk himself even kind of acknowledges this when he agrees to take Zoro on as a student when Zoro begs for the sake of his captain and crew. He acknowledges that putting aside his own ego and dreams for the sake of someone else isn’t something he can do and sees it as a fault in himself and a strength in Zoro.

Mihawk may be outwardly mature and his skills defiently did not stagnant but I’d wager that Mentally Mihawk is still stuck at the same age he was when he took over the title of world’s strongest swordsman. Honestly maybe even younger. And it isn’t until training Zoro, letting Perona stay with him, for probably the first time in his life taking charge of lives outside his own did he finally unarrest his development.

If Zoro is purposely trying to emulate Hawkeyes, which it wouldn’t be a surprise if he was that’s who he’s trying to be Afterall, then it would honestly set him back emotionally because fundamentally as he is now Mihawk’s attitude doesn’t work in a crew. It’s too singular, too abrasive. And while that abrasiveness can be useful in Zoro’s role as Luffy’s first mate sometimes it makes him a little too callous a little too apathetic, like with his disregard for Luffy’s sadness over vegapunk.

But Zoro has his crew to temper that, they are honestly just too ridiculous to ever stay serious around. And try as he might to hide it Zoro is also just a silly dude who likes to be horrifically petty with his opponents. And zoro still has so much fire in him, so much he has too prove and so much he wants to protect to ever really fall into Mihawk’s apathy. Zoro has Luffy who even after they reach their dreams will probably still continue to turn the world upside down forever keeping Zoro in some kind of trouble and his life interesting.

Zoro can’t be Mihawk because even Mihawk can’t be Mihawk anymore. Being with crossguild and crossing with the Red hair pirates and the strawhats is going to change him, it has too. if Mihawk is going to live after losing his title he’s probably gonna have to become a little bit more like Zoro.

Thinking a lot of thoughts about how for 500 years, Armand has been able to flash his big scary orange puppy dog eyes at anyone and say "I'm sowwy" and everyone just goes "aww that's okay, you've been through so much, who can blame you? Poor thing!" And so he has gotten away with SO MUCH heinous shit, and continues to! From ancient powerful beings who you would think would be less susceptible to his fuckery!

And the ONE person, one MORTAL person who is utterly immune to his charms, his pitiable demeanor, his angelic face and innocent voice, who can't stop Armand from wiping his mind or controlling his body but is impervious to Armand's efforts to mask his Rancid Vibes,

is Daniel.

Bruce is absolutely the parent who goes “I don’t care if you date, Tim, but — Superboy???”

[island-in-the-shadows]

Lestat: I still can't believe Louis and Armand were married. You know, they did it just to spite me.

Daniel: Then why are you throwing Armand a party?

Lestat: Just to spite him.

Daniel: You guys have such a healthy thing going.

Human!Kinger gives me big Buster Bluth vibes

[anonymous-tals]

I drew little Bluth siblings on Halloween! Gob is a vampire bee(not a specific type of bee, just literally a bee that is a vampire), Lindsay is Melody from Josie and the Pussycats, and Michael is a lawyer.

Buster would be two(that or not even born yet, but I’m going with two) when this takes place so it wouldn’t make sense for him to be trick-or-treating, but I didn’t wanna just not draw him so:

Bonus little Gob sketch(I was originally gonna draw them a little younger than I ended up drawing them, which is why the hairstyle is different).

Look I like Roger enough, I understand what he represents and I generally don’t think he was a bad dude. I do however think he was shit at interpersonal relationships because, what the fuck. Whitebeards crew is infinitely more well adjusted and I’d say he arguably had the more traumatic death.

Like what even, what kind of planning leads a 53 year old man to sire a child knowing he is dying of an incurable illness and is about to turn himself in to be excuted by the marines where he will cause so much chaos it is literally still turning the world on its head 22 years later. He knew he was going to cause so much of a stir that he literally disbanded his crew and told them to spread far and wide to keep them safe. Because he knew the marines would hunt them far and wide But yet he still brought a baby into the world. Babe. What the fuck? What even is that? What was the thought process. I sincerely hope it was an accident and not a deliberate attempt to bring about a new era.

Because if so babe I need to see the recipe or I’m afraid we can never let you cook again

Tav: Gale, look, this has got to stop. I mean, flattered? Yes. Interested? Not tonight.
