So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.

I think there's a lot of evidence in canon to suggest that Mihawk doesn't want to be lonely. But he doesn't know how to be around other people without expecting too much of them and always ultimately ending up disappointed when they fall short.

Sometimes when he looks at Shanks, all he can see is failed potential and broken promises he made with no one but himself.

Even now he tries not to linger longer than he has too;

Shanks' future no longer has any room for him and so Mihawk remains stagnant stuck 10 years in the past, alone. He doesn't know how to be anything else.

That is until a couple of pesky cotton candy haired children barge into his castle and into his life and drag him head first into the future too

it's so funny to me that caleb and veth really did just trade off the job of intensely pining for the other at like the halfway point of the campaign. like, imo, nott in the early days did not behave in any real romantic or even romance-adjacent ways toward him--I imagine it would be very hard to even think in that way when you hate what you look like so much, have such low self-esteem, and are actively lying about your entire past, including a secret husband. caleb, on the other hand, is kind of diving directly back into the sort of relationship he had with astrid and eadwulf. very close, very intimate, we-huddled-for-warmth-together-and-oops-it-led-to-something-else sort of thing. he is the one who expresses that he's fine with it if people think he and nott are romantically together when they're talking to keg. nott is the one who pushes back on that. he calls her his life partner. unknowingly, he compares his feelings for nott to nott's feelings for yeza. his behavior only really starts to change after he finds out about veth's husband because suddenly all of that other stuff is rendered inappropriate in retrospect. but even then he compliments her to yeza over dinner in the most awkward of ways, he admits to being jealous, he calls yeza "a lucky man" to have her, he stares at veth and yeza closed bedroom door for far too long, he creates an entire arcane tower with room for her family just so she'll stay with him. in general, his behavior is not, um, totally and completely platonic about it, you know?

like, veth's feelings for caleb are canonical and therefore indisputable in their existence, but caleb in the early days was not that dissimilar to how veth was acting near the end of the campaign. it really paints a picture of "right person, wrong time" in the way things just didn't line up for them. or, as veth would say: "in another world, maybe"

Soar!!

I found an old sketch that I remember I liked a lot, even though I never got it work out well... and I was like hey, why not finish (or redraw) it now? So here's the dragon master-student duo!

Here's also the sketch for comparison:

all silliness gone

people who tag general loz things as LU are annoying but I think that zelink shippers are even worse tbh

[canisalbus]

I say this in the best way, but your characters feel like they're from an obscure but really good piece of media, and you feel like the artist who always draws the two main characters as ghay lovers

Favourite fishman island Sanji moments

It was extremely disappointing to see a beautiful complex character like sanji getting reduced to his reaction towards women. But at some point he reverts back to his old self and These are some of the things i loved the most about sanji during the fishman island arc :

(1) My favourite chivalrous knight in shining armor spitting fire as usual

(2) After the annoying exhausting excruciating nosebleed episodes, this is where sanji was back to his flirty loser boy personality and was immediately saying cringe pickup lines and preparing tea for the ladies

(3) This one gotta be one of my most favorite moments where Sanji again proved how intelligent and perceptive he is. He could guess who attacked hatchi, and why so, from hatchi's reactions to jinbe's words alone. He is sensitive to people's moods and reactions.

(4) the enemy understanding why sanji is so hyperaware of nami in the battlefield. He has always had the streak of looking out for the comparatively weaker crewmates

(5) Sanji coming through during the hitching between jinbe and Luffy. Even though Luffy's way of communication is IMMA BEAT HORDY UP and jinbe was trying to protect Luffy, that's when sanji piped in and explained his captain's words, working as the mediator in the chaotic conversation

(6) People say sanji was being condescending to jinbe here but I see this interaction as a "best friend who gets angry on your behalf" moment. Sanji is not a shrewd person but he was there in Arlong park to witness nami's sufferings, so it's normal for a friend to get angry(ier) at the person who may be the reason for the pain of ur friend. (Similar to how sometimes when we hate our friend's exes more than they do) But when nami said she was okay, Sanji didn't drag the issue anymore. Sanji was rightfully angry here but he knew when to step back

(7) This may be silly but Sanji really respects whatever food or drink is served and never wastes food ofc. I loved how he genuinely appreciated Camie's cold soup even if he was already cold from drowning in the sea. Even if sanji is a top notch cook, he immediately reassured camie that the soup is good and graciously accepted it. He's always humble, sweet and kind.

Day 4 of @kaarija-inktober took a turn: the prompt is screaming

Inspired by Menestynyt Yksilö and Kintsugi (putting together broken pottery with gold glue)

So ... welcome to the ranty part of the post.

I have felt like I have been stuck recently. It is not as bad as it was pre-Käärijä where I couldn't sleep due to existential dread and had almost stopped caring about myself and my well being since I was constantly feeling inadequate.

That said my energy (physical and mental both) is fluctuating a lot where I sometime feel like all I can do is as little as possible (which results in me trying to nap and end up more miserable or going to bed way earlier than I actually want just to get the day over with). Artistically while I have some days where I'm hit with the inspirational dogde ball and can create artwork after artwork no problem, most of the time I feel like I am on the verge of an artblock. My gender dysphoria has been a rollercoaster as well going from days I feel like I've never felt better in my skin to days where I haven't felt worse. These emotional peaks are draining me and so when I sat down to draw this prompt and just couldn't get a good sketch going I gave in and decided to make this into a vent artwork. (Sorry to vintage Kä and especially MY for always seeming to get back to them when needing to vent).

So yeah - things are odd rn and not in a good way. I really hope things will turn around soon (maybe I have just reached that part of second teenage hood, who knows?)

"nobody is born in this world to be alone" hits so hard because its at the height of the inciting incidents that lead robin to want to die and be afraid chronically of intimacy and love. I love that even though she's told this as a child and everybodys hopes are on her she fails fucking horribly at not wanting to die and continuing the research of ohara for the majority of her lifetime.

I love that it's made explict that she wants to commit suicide specifically to avoid abandonment and not out of any sense of selflessness but to specifically act incredibly selfishly (just like how usopp reacts negatively and cuts them off to avoid abandonment hello our bpd king & queen.) (I also love that they manipulate the inital reason to pretend theyre less neurotic than they are.)

I love that robin is allowed to exist and have struggled with this this badly throughout her entire life and she's not a failure or unforgivable. she's 28 and is allowed to have lived this long with these issues and she isn't a failure

i love that she finds her will to live only now. only when she finds friends who want to put so much effort into her and she accepts that help, finally. her scream of "i want to live" is so good in the dub, her final acceptance of help and love and
