*sighs* with the way twitter is shaking out, I may be more active on here than I usually am!! I'm still trying to get the hang of managing multiple social medias while adding another to the mix (blusky my beloved), so excuse the art flux weirdness that may come from it! ;v; this blog was originally meant to be a general art blog with ttrpg/OC art alongside fanart, but I would still like for things to be primarily mcyt on here for now. however!! since twitter is being a particular brand of awful right now, expect to see some more d&d related content on here. I want to share my himbos and fantasy blorbos with y'all, and would go absolutely crazy (/pos) if there's other d&d fans in the mcyt space I can nerd out with!! I just want to keep everyone in the loop since I know the bulk of people here are following for the GoodTimes :] ((related: I've wanted to find a way to meld my interests as well on here, and this might be the push I needed.... I've had a D&D / life series AU floating around in my head for a a hot minute eheheh....))

[imminent-danger-came]

do you think the writers are being too slow revealing what happened with wukong and macaque? like should the full story been revealed in s4

That's very subjective!

For me personally, I'm totally fine with how it's played out. We get enough tidbits every season/developments with their dynamic that I'm pretty content. I also just think that when the time comes, how they choose to reveal that information to us (and especially to MK) will have optimal impact!

Idk, I just think it's going to work out you know

also while we're here i would like to share the two iterations of tumblr user gorespawn that have existed since i abandoned this blog back in like early 2021. Who wants me

ALSO LOOK HOW GORGEOUS THE ART IS

[ttomuras]

the last five chapters were extremely rushed and the ending feels generic and boring to me. like i literally joked about how there is going to be a timeskip, deku is gonna be a teacher and they’ll have a pull-out-your-ass solution about how deku can still be a hero. joked in a “this is too goofy” way just like ppl joked about “this is our hero academia”. this feels v?? goofy?? but in a not fun way for me

Did- did Doug ever get cured? I don't think he ever shows up in Duke's Urban Legend story, only Elaine.

DID DC FORGET ABOUT DUKES DAD???

Urban Legends absolutely DROPPED the ball when it came to even WHISPERING abt Doug Thomas, and the last mention of either Doug or Elaine was this year’s DC Power special, where it just RANDOMLY dropped that both Elaine & Doug are dead like???????????????????? (It was in one of those Character Bio pages and it was so fuckin disheartening to see like 😭 & like I get that most ppl hear ‘dukes parents were jokerized’ and automatically assume that means they were killed via joker venom/gas/etc but like… Licherally just picking up WAR or BatS you’ll see that they’re very much alive in both of those like????)

Only explanation is that (ALLEGEDLY) dc’s editors aren’t actually doing any kind of fact checking or collaborating with their writers. It’s (ALLEGEDLY) the wild fuckin west for them rn to just do whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ dc let me in and let me write a quick Duke mini pspspsps I promise I’ll be soooooo normal abt it pspspspsps

I saw this series of quotes and why do you think that hat has three stabs from buggy? Is it truly connected to shuggy? Could shuggy really be that important???

so, here are the tweets in question. (one of which is from @goingbuggy! hi there! this is, what, the third time someone’s asked me to talk about your tweets? i guess at least one of my anons is a fan.)

i have wondered a time or two whether in oda’s early planning it might have been buggy who gave shanks that three-slash scar. (i’ve heard that oda originally had a five year plan for one piece, though i’ll admit i’ve never sought out a direct source for that.) in that case, the slashes through the hat might have been intended as foreshadowing.

but since buggy wasn’t the one to make that scar, instead it leads us to draw comparisons between these characters who both have wielded three blades on one hand. and maybe it’s just because they were both written as foils to luffy, but i find comparing buggy and blackbeard very interesting!

similarities:

former warlord of the sea/current emperor of the sea

devil fruit user

served on a big name’s crew back in the day

intentionally went under the radar/overlooked for years

doesn’t really buy into concepts like “loyalty” or “honor,” happy to turn on a crew mate or backstab an ally if it’s to his advantage

used to wield three blades but these days prefers explosive-adjacent weapons

not happy to see red-haired shanks at marineford

differences:

fell into those positions by chance/years of plotting to get into those positions

a devil fruit with zero combat utility (besides avoiding damage)/possibly the devil fruit with the most combat utility? (though, unusually, he can take damage while wielding it)

their reasons for going under the radar (fear of being hunted down/working towards a secret goal)

the consequences for overlooking them (for shanks: losing buggy/losing to bb, or at least taking a very bad wound from him; for others: misinformation on a global scale/the literal paramount war)

buggy is a strong believer in the captain-crew bond, which bb absolutely does not buy into

type of three-bladed weapon (three throwing daggers, suggests flexibility, hidden motives, a preference for distance fighting; claw weapon, suggests light-footedness, straightforwardness—you know when a claw wielder is about to start fighting, he’s gone and put the claws on)

type of explosive weapon (bombs, suggests pre-planning, a preference for distance fighting, maximum damage for minimum effort; guns, suggests a flexibility on distance vs melee range, a willingness to threaten rather than kill outright)

why they didn’t want to see shanks (ugh, that guy pisses me off/i think that guy might literally kill me lmao)

Closed starter for @multif0rmed !

Shelby would hesitate to say she was good for much. She would readily say she wasn't good at anything, actually. Especially compared to the 'oh, I'll casually cut throw a building made of solid stone and fly around like I have wings' crowd she now found herself associated with (entirely against her will, mind). If there was one thing she was good at, though, it was avoiding notice. Years of being antisocial in a school setting made that a breeze. Unfortunately, it seemed that meant she was also good at sneaking according to that gaggle of idiots. So, she was sent (only mostly against her will) to investigate the remnants of The World That Never Was and recover important information from their servers. Completely on her lonesome, since everyone else was either busy with training or busy with missions to recover lost Keyblade Wielders or whatever Sora was doing.

'Forget Sora,' Shelby thought bitterly as she climbed down another staircase, 'That idiot is probably out somewhere havin' th' time of 'is life, 'nd I'm here, in mortal danger...'

Not that she had much choice now. Ienzo said it would help bring some of the other Nobodies back, and she had little reason to doubt him on it. They would need bodies, and Replicas were apparently the only option there. They needed Even's data, which with no one in a rush to go back to Castle Oblivion (for some reason that no one seemed keen to explain to her), the data in their other castle was chosen as the target. So, instead of relaxing or working on her gummi ship, she walked through the eerily empty and very echo prone halls of the castle, largely defenseless against anything more threatening than a shadow.

"Fuck's sake, a dusk'd probably get me dead to rights..."

She cursed under her breath as she continued down the featureless grey hallways of the Castle That Never Was, looking on her phone at the map the old Organization members had made her (well, they made the map and she designed an app to help her navigate. She had a horrible sense of direction and couldn't read a map to save her life, so it was an essential). Her only light source was the soft glow of her screen and the flashlight on the phone's back. While the castle was mostly broken and the direct route to the server room was blocked off by a collapsed roof or three, whoever designed the castle had the foresight to make it easily accessible from multiple directions to those who couldn't teleport. That knowledge didn't help the sense of unease and paranoia as her footfalls echoed softly up and down the castle's corridors. She'd gone past the more commonly used portions of the castle (the Grey Room, the residential wing, the kitchen) and into the depths. Apparently, the old Organization XIII did some messed up experiments down here and needed the hardline connection to their server to record and easily access their notes. Made sense, but also unnerved her: how many had they performed that they needed a server to hold their notes? Pictures and text files don't take up that much space, surely.

Not that it mattered to her, really. The world was 'asleep' (whatever that meant, she only glanced at the explanatory notes Yen Sid gave her), so she only had to worry about Dream Eaters. Not that she'd seen any since she got here, but that was fine. She'd rather just get in and out; maybe Sora and Riku cleared them all out when they were here last. Ienzo had given her a specifically formatted hard drive that should gather the data from the server quickly enough. Then it was as simple as pulling on her connection with Yen Sid and then she could forget this absolutely idiotic nonsense ever happened... well, after she and Ienzo went over the data, anyway.

"Fuckin'... Couldn't jus' send Aeleus and Dilan, huh? Or Cloud and Leon, or maybe jus' wait 'till Riku came back if it's so goddamn important... What in th' name of Chaos am I supposed t' do if the old goat comes back to look at the data too, huh? Ask him t' politely not look at it?"

'Just keep it cool, Shell.' She reminded herself as she found herself in the server room. According to the three who were there when it happened, the old goat (as she so fondly called him because of his goatee and advanced age) had split because his twelve vessels couldn't stay around for the party or something. 'He prob'ly already has the data easily accessible wherever he fucked off to. Th' leader of a doomsday cult is smart enough to have copies around of important information'.

The sound of a weapon being summoned immediately told her that her life, as per usual, was not going to be easy and actually extremely difficult. Panic rose in her body, and it became a struggle to keep her breathing even. Cold daggers of fear pierced every inch of her body, but she tried to keep herself from trembling. She felt her hairs stand on end, and found herself hoping whoever had decided to make her day worse would at least be reasonable enough to not just immediately stab her. Or shoot her. Or cast magic. Absently, she fiddled with the ring on her right pinky: a handy little piece of artifice that had the Second Chance ability infused into it. An essential for being as substantial as a low level shadow. She didn't make any sudden movements (not that she thought her taser would work on any member of the Organization if she could reach it), instead attempted to remain perfectly still as the silence dragged on.

'if I make it out of here, I'm taking Riku's fuckin' kneecaps...'

"So, I, uh... gonna guess you won't accept 'I was jus' lookin' fer th' restroom' as a reason for being here?" She attempted to break the tension with a poorly conceived joke. For once, she didn't even pick up on her accent being on display. She was more preoccupied with surviving the next sixty seconds. Should she try to make a break for it? She didn't have the stamina for a chase, and she also didn't think it'd work; he probably outsped her fifty times over and then some. She doubted pulling on Yen Sid would work either, instead only serving to lead their enemy right to their defacto base. Could she get them monologuing and sneak away while they're distracted? Maybe...
