The ask game reminded me that I’ve been meaning to bother you about the soul marks in a gift (not a burden)!!! I wanna know about the importance of the placement of the soul marks and any other details you wanna share pls n thank yooooou muah muah <3

YES YES YES THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!! (fic in question)

OKAY SO soulmarks, very funny little things that i put some thought into for these guys

Sanji:

Soulmark on his wrist, big enough to cover his inner wrist and peak out under a normal shirt cuff.

Easily shown off- both in placement and how Sanji makes sure to roll up his cuffs enough to always display it. Very 'heart on his sleeve' type of soulmark.

It's also centred around his pulse point, which is meant to represent signs of life, i.e., Usopp being one of the reasons Sanji wants to live, a discouragement from self-sacrifice, and overall encouraging a love of life. A reminder, you could say, to weather the storm of Things that Keep Happening to Him and make it through to his shining light in the deep, hopeless night. No i'm not thinking of whole cake, why would you say that-

Conversely, despite how he makes it seem so easy, he could also hide his mark with the same effort- maybe less- but he never does. At first, Sanji just wanted so badly to find his soulmate, but after being with Usopp he still doesn't do it.

I like thinking of it like Sanji thinking he could stealth as a straight man if he tried. Maybe he does or maybe he doesn't, even when it would make things easier for him. In a way, his mark is also about trust: trusting his life (breathing, not being shot in the back) vs his life (perception, image), one being easier than the other, but the mark on his wrist being proof that he was capable of both.

Usopp:

Soulmark directly above heart, tiny. About 1cm and hard to pick out details.

Must be shown off intentionally, cannot be casually/accidentally shown off unless going shirtless. More of a 'close to the chest' type of soulmark (heh).

Very accurately placed in the centre of the heart, which is meant to represent understanding emotions and deep connection, i.e, Sanji being good for helping Usopp sort through his emotions, understanding but not feeding into his fears and insecurities, and the intensity to which Usopp would/had/did become close with him.

This is one of those "very very rare placements", the kind you'd hear about in books and stories to show off some kind of perfect fairy tale love story. Partially have it like that bc Sanji loveddd seeing himself as some lucky lady's white knight, but also because he does end up as Usopp's white knight every so often kdjhfgd. The exaggeration in fiction doesn't help with Usopp's "this soulmate shit is bs" thing he had going on most of his life lol.

Mentioned in the fic, but he also shares soulmark placement with his mom! He didn't know what it meant as a kid, but seeing how his mom fared and his dad never making it home for the funeral, he didn't think it meant anything good.

Do y'all think object heads have a peculiar vision? Well I certainly do!

If DJSS is actually a supernova then assumption probably brings with it the idea they were a star, and being a star where it sends light in every direction and vision is directly correlated to light, what if that means omnidirectional vision?

Ive heard people say roach is american or british (like ghost) but I can't get the idea out of my head that he's either welsh or Australian (i know those are both very different but still)

I like the idea of Roach not being British but no one knows because he doesn't talk much. No one ever brings up his nationality so it's a fun surprise when he finally says something.

carraville core beliefs (aka things I am Always keeping in mind when writing them)

Gary:

always busy. always talking. genuinely one of the most annoying people alive. his friends often mute him on whatsapp

easily bribed with chocolate

too rich to have any concept of what things should cost or how anything works

has a Type and that type is tall muscular men

related to his type: likes to be Held. (make of that what you will)

was in love with becks when they were young and everyone who knows him knows this

Jamie:

very much a lads lad and so probably a bit of a bastard but unconsciously acts soft around Gary

loud and over the top especially when he's joking around. VERY touchy-feely but only with people he's comfortable with

does not like sweets. does not like coffee.

loves a paycheck

doesn't have a type he's just insane about Gary. so insane about him that he doesnt necessarily have to actually like men at all to like HIM

completely utterly whipped

as a pair:

always the most insane people in any room they're in and always the most intense

bullying is their love language and they're suspicious if they're being nice to each other

genuinely stupidly fond of each other. what was it I said the other day they just delight each other so much

the reason they delight each other/click so well is BECAUSE they're always the two most insane people in any room they're in

everything is a competition and once they're together they STAY together bc they are both determined to Win at their relationship

The mute feature on AO3 is so great. The ability to not see an author's works listed when what they write doesn't work for you? Amazing.

Now all we need are persistently blacklisted tags and we'd be set.

It's sad that I'm genuinely shocked every time I'm playing games and hear an actual nice person on mic

[4th-make-quail]

"3 things you want to know about me" HMM... top 3 favorite fictional old men? :P

TOP THREE THIS IS SO CRUEL.... HOW'S A BITCH MEANT TO PICK. But okay, FINE. XDD I'm picking ones who've been around the longest heh

1. Leonard "Bones" McCoy! I've loved him since I was in single digits watching TOS on my grandma's tiny portable kitchen TV heh. Absolute smokeshow, gorgeous accent, the works. I love one cranky doctor!!! He's smart, he's got heart, I adore his humanism and his friendship (and more!!!) with Jim, and oh my god, his blue blue eyes. And his forearms. And his EYEBROW and his fluffy hair!!!

2. Sartauvoir quo Soranus of FFXIV IVth Legion! He's a sadistic pyromaniac whose favourite pastime is burning people alive, and he's p obviously in love with his superior Basch van Gabranth (pictured here smooching his BEAUTIFUL FACE) who died 30 years before the bit of the game Sart is in. His bit of game is heavily Ivalice-based, hence the Basch heh. He transforms into a giant fire monster during his duels and has a penchant for summoning phoenixes and time magick fuckery, he's so much fun and is my absolute beloved. He has truly like a total of 20 minutes of game time and not a single cutscene and I adore him with every fibre of my being!!

3. This is a toss-up, but forever loves must win out: Doctor Cid, of FFXII! He's one of my fave kind of characters - super smart scientisty dudes who are a bit morally dubious and also antagonists 🥰🥰 I love the way he speaks, his beautiful nose and how chubby he is, and his stupid long thighboots and his super active way of gesticulating andandand- well ofc his relationship with Vayne. Obviously. And his little purple tie and his greying hair and WELL. HIS EVERYTHING.

[nostalgia-tblr]

if god is real why do i have to mute the author of the oneshot collection not just the oneshot collection itself?

[lilbittymonster]

Just gonna head this off at the pass; if anyone unfollows me for whatever reason I could not care less, curate your internet experience like an adult. In a similar vein if you come into my inbox complaining that I unfollowed you I also could not care less, I am curating my internet experience like an adult. Cope.
