#she would be too powerful

I don't suppose anyone wants to draw the Doctor Who actors in their BBC-sonas do they? You know, the characters the BBC gets them to play in their kids animation after they've played The Doctor.

You've got...

Matt Smith as

thisworm™

John Hurt as

Mean Owl

Jodie Whittaker as

R h y m i n g N a r r a t o r

And David Tennant as

Rat with a redemption arc

Finally did it. I've designed Wonderful Cures for my cat and I.

Cure Comfort, and Cure Flare, based off of me and my cat Spitfire respectively. Flare would be very aggressive, and excitable at the same time. She is filled with bloodlust. Her carnage is only kept in check by Comfort, who is usually very gentle and support based, but she can and will discipline Flare when she crosses the line.

I think Jim Henson tried to go about it the right way, trying to do complex and more mature storytelling in fantastical worlds with his puppets rather than shooting for the gutter. Ralph Bakshi had similar ambitions of breaking the "animation is just for kids!" stigma, and HIS method was literally to just have his characters say fuck (and have sex and do drugs and engage in VERY precarious explorations of racism and basically hitting every taboo he thought he could get away with) and the results were... mixed at best...

Can you imagine how good life would’ve been of puppets were taken seriously as an art form like Jim Henson wanted? Even Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal weren’t allowed to really be seen as more than just kids movies because nobody can see puppetry as an art form for anyone but children.

When zagreus teaches her sarcasm its over for everyone

I know it's because of how Melinoë was raised but like the deference she shows to others is wild compared to Zagreus, who mentally categorizes everyone he meets into "homie" or "hater" and acts accordingly

I also have a couple headcanons for this au, I hope you don't mind me sharing!

I love the idea that for a long period Mihawk had to go out and either get or learn to make clothes for Uta and the way op draws her clothes they're always Mihawk inspired so either he shops for her like he does himself or makes his style of clothes for her (maybe both?).

I also think Uta and Zoro would be good friends, I think Zoro would enjoy listening to Uta sing and they might fight less than Zoro and Perona do (which is still incredibly cute.)

This also makes me think of Shanks Perona AU. It would be so cute to have this spooky lil gal around the Force with weird sandals and a big cape, and also she loves spooking the RHP because its hilarious. Especially scaring Shanks when he's drunk. Best thing ever.

Also THE SHANKS AND PERONA CUDDLES. Perona needs hugs and snuggles but she refuses to ask for them and Shanks also needs hugs and snuggles and will rope you in anyway, so its a good match. When Perona gets bopped onto their lonely little island Shanks is like "ah yes, daughter" and Perona is like "noooo" but she is thrilled at the attention.

I think Shanks would learn a lot from Perona just as Mihawk would learn a lot from Uta. Plus in baby!Perona world I just think the idea of goth little Perona begging her dad for black lipstick at 12 y/o is great😂 Also Perona takes Uta's clothes when they visit Kuraigana, you know she does. ("My dad steals Mihawk's clothes so I get to take yours! Horohoro! Yes you can have my skirt I don't want it--")

To be honest I just think Uta and Perona are so much both of their kids that you can just interchange them and it all works still. Mihawk and Shanks and their kiddos are my favourite <33

Okay, I am interested in your Dracule Uta posts now. (She's just so cute and I just know he embroidered that flower on her onesie!!) I need to know more!!

I don't have too much details yet but this is what I have for now:

While Shanks finds her in a treasure chest after raiding another crew, Mihawk instead finds her after killing some marines and discovering her on their ship, eating a devil fruit. He figures the Marines probably don't have good intentions for her so he takes her with him.

For the first few days/weeks, he tries to find another home for her. He thinks his life as a marine hunter and lone pirate is too dangerous to care for an infant. A bit of a Buddy Daddies thing in that way, that he's too dangerous to be around and frankly doesn't want the responsibility.

When he finds out which devil fruit she ate (still the Sing-Sing fruit), he realises he can't risk her falling into the hands of someone more corrupt who can manipulate her powers. He decides to go all in and try his best to raise her properly.

He goes to Shanks for help. He himself never had good parents, but he knows Shanks had a good relationship with Roger and his crew also has older men who may have advice to offer. He gets closer to the RHP this way, learning from them how to best care for a baby.

Shanks grows close to Uta. He likes that her hair makes her look like his and Mihawk's baby. He also treats her like she is their kid, always accidentally calls himself her father. Uta also thinks of him like that. Similar to Buddy Daddies again, Mihawk and Shanks both acknowledge they have parental roles in her life but, at this point in time, don't view themselves as romantic co-parents.

(Of course, they have feelings for each other but Mihawk is oblivious to his feelings and Shanks is secretly crushing hard. He loves how good Mihawk is with the kid and how hard he's trying)

Shanks likes to bribe Uta with sweets to talk him up to Mihawk. Always backfires on him because she's way too frank about it (learned that from Mihawk). She'll just say shit like, "Mihawk, Shanks told me he wants to kiss you!" and it embarrasses Shanks every time.

Uta loves being carried by Mihawk. He carries and controls Yoru so easily. Even teen Uta is practically weightless in his arms. It reminds her of when he first found her and rocked her in his arms as they rode his boat back to his home.

Uta sees Mihawk and Shanks's feelings for each other grow over the years until on her 12th birthday she told them to get a grip and go out already. They went out and have been together ever since.

Mihawk and Shanks figured out a co-parenting arrangement a few years before Shanks docked at Windmill Village. Mihawk thinks it will be good for Uta to go sailing with Shanks every once in a while as his experiences sailing with him have always ended with fun stories and meeting new people.

Mihawk wants Uta to get out there and appreciate the world's vastness. He often takes her sailing (if she isn't sailing with Shanks) and shows her all his favourite spots. Sometimes Shanks comes along and tells her stories of "that time me and Mihawk came here ourselves and this really cool thing happened"

Mihawk let Shanks take Uta for longer than before when he docked at Windmill Village as he wanted Uta to make long-term friends that weren't twice her age like himself and the RHP, so she still meets Luffy. While he is a loner, he wants Uta to experience everything and meet people from all walks of life so she can figure out exactly who she wants to be.

Mihawk trained her to be a strong swordswoman since young. She's very skilled with the blade but told him she wanted to be a singer. Mihawk supports her preference and is happy to listen to all her new songs. As he strived to be the greatest swordsman when he was young, he now wants to help Uta become the greatest musician. He tunes in for every broadcast she does and makes sure the RHP catches them too. Uta still cares a lot about her swordsmanship and practices it often to stay sharp.

She carried a bamboo sword as a kid, then got Shanks's old one with the red hilt as a hand-me-down when she was 15. For her 18th birthday, Mihawk had a Yoru-inspired blade crafted for her. She named it "Musica". It looks similar to Yoru but the orbs are red and heart-shaped, the blade isn't black, and it's shorter.

She lives at Kuraigana with Mihawk but splits her time between there and wherever Shanks is. When Perona moved in, they became close friends. Perona loves hearing about her Mihawk stories. She also regularly duels with Zoro when he moves in, insists he doesn't stand a chance against Mihawk if he can't even beat his first student.

Uta's favourite colour is teal because it's the colour Yoru's blade shines.

Her eyes have rings as Mihawk also taught her powerful observation haki (I don't know if the rings are directly relevant to that but I like how the rings look on her)
