i got almost all the next month's updates sketched! i'm not doing the last one simply because i am feeling the burn out of composing these pages. (each have at least 6 pages, a good amount have the max 12!)

that said, these are all just sketched. i want to do it in this order: backgrounds -> lineart -> transcript. i got other projects i need to work on (winning hat and NightFell) so I can't really guarantee when Tag will start to update again.

[grazhdanintovarisch]

OK, i've rewritten the English description for the OP-OCs, enjoy!

i'm planning on making an artbook instead of a comic about my story with these characters, because it's scope is way too ambitious for me... down below you'll find the rough synopsis and basic decription for each character

(i think i'd tweak their some of them a tiny bit nowadays, but i've decided to leave them as they'd been made in July of 2024, in order to preserve artistic history of the project. lol)

SYNOPSIS: Straw Hat pirates accidentally come upon a new island at low tide and run aground. The locals welcome them warmly, while a certain gang of bounty hunters watch their every move. Their goal is to kidnap Usopp, in order to receive a good (in their eyes) payout from the Navy. The right hand of the gang leader threatens Usopp with the info they have on Nico Robin and lets him "choose for himself": to either surrender without a fight or to give his friend up to the Navy…

(if you haven't read \ watched post-timeskip One Piece, then i'd advise against googling everything with a star next to it - these are spoilers!)

in the first picture, you can see:

1) Munlee R. - the right hand of the gang leader

has a charismatic personality;

other gang members obey her more willingly than their leader;

has dirt on plenty of infamous wanted men;

never tells a lie and constantly reminds everyone of that;

has no powers, but mysteriously has a knack for instantly striking her enemies down;

a crook, a sniper, and a thief - she's not someone you'd want to trust.

in the second picture going from left to right, you can see:

2) Matricaria:

has a hypersexual personality;

tends to spill the beans of what her gang is up to;

laughs at any mention of taboo topics;

has the ability of “random stain effects”: if a person steps on a stain that Matricaria has planted, they can be paralyzed/blown up/etc. depending on what color the stain is;

she's kind but overly chatty.

3) Chasseu:

is a hot-headed character;

hunts pirates to rid the world of “universal” evil;

is eager to help anyone who asks for it;

has Zoan ability to turn into a big vulture.

4) Gespenst:

has a melancholic personality;

spends more time on land than in the water, in order to be filled with the “pain of being”;

often follows other members of the gang, since she doesn't want to go anywhere alone, but is also bored of sitting still;

has the fish karate* ability, also wields a kopis.

5) Lotus:

has a cordial personality;

half her body is burnt, hence she covers herself from the sun with a shawl and protective sleeves;

like many of the island's inhabitants, she was banished here, but thanks to the kindness and care of her crew she was able to mentally recover;

is the most normal member of the gang;

has observation haku*, wears poison spiked bracelets on her arms and legs, always engages in hand-to-hand combat with enemies.

in the third picture going from left to right, you can see:

6) Mikitch:

is a bit uncooperative:

can't neither emote nor read the room well, so he prefers to constantly frown;

lost his hand a long time ago and replaced it with a magnet - it makes him sad sometimes, as it is difficult to go through his many collections with only one hand;

loves adventures and traveling, and with a team like this, he gets plenty of both;

has Logia ability to mold his clay body into an appearance of anything/anyone he wants.

7) Taraxacum - the gang leader:

is a careless person;

likes to gain without the pain;

is in a state of mild intoxication constantly, and he tends to blame his inability to control the gang on it;

has the ability of acupuncture: with the help of needles he puts his opponents into an illusory dream and turns them into helpless white sausages;

a rascal, a lazyass and a blockhead - he's not someone you'd want to deal with either.

8) Craspedia:

is a perceptive and mysterious individual;

is a native of the island, along with Taraxacum and Matricaria;

is a monk, and they repent the sins of their brethren in a cave, where they go every night and build up salt crystals on their head;

is fully dedicated to teaching and helping all the island inhabitants;

has the ability to absorb other people's pain (who'd want such a strange ability anyway?…);

why this man is in the gang of bounty hunters is unknown.

9) Johnny Red-Wine:

has an easygoing personality;

goes to the gym every day, & after the gym he learns to do something new - at the moment he is learning how to tie knots;

believes that anyone who becomes a pirate is a bad person, and that beating them up does a service to the world;

foolishly ate Devil Fruit (tm) once, and now he can only reach his underwater home with the help of Gespenst;

has the ability of magnetism: he can shoot electrical charges, imbue metal objects with a magnetic field, and attract metal to himself;

gave Mikitch a magnet, which he would stick on his prosthesis.

obsessed with the the curse of maleficent's implication that there were two people watching maleficent kiss aurora, and those two people are diaval and knotgrass, and the person whose pov of that we need more is knotgrass

[dorkhellbside]

two “puppet” bodies, two rebirths, but only one other cognitive conversational partner fucking ok insert limp wrist emoji

[wyzzze]

I'm very curious about where the plot will be going in ZZZ when we contract characters from enemy factions like presumably Sarah/Lucius/Hugo Vlad

Because that would imply that Belle&Wise are going to be working with them and we'll have them in our roster...but Lucius literally killed Pompey (heinous crime in the dilf community) and Vlad has major toxic yaoi beef with Lycaon (unforgivable bc he's Our🤝 30-something year old boyfriend now!) Sarah's done so many crimes tbh (of which I remember none of because whenever she's on screen I black out. I support women's rights and women's wrongs!)

So...how is this going to work...

[cloverconsolass]

I hope this event gives red viewers a better understanding of q!Bad's morals and character. I feel that I understand him a lot more as someone who mains other povs. (I think he goes too far sometimes but he cares about the eggs). He didn't defend his egg properly because he didn't think others would attack it.

Not just red viewers but everyone. q!Bad during purgatory is seen to others that he's not a good guy. No one is. But mainly Bad. That Bad is a villain. But take a look at the event and oh? Who didn't attack the eggs? Bad. Bad may not have the best of morals but when it comes to the eggs, even if it's a representation of them? He'll never hurt them. Call him a bad guy, call him evil, call him whatever but know that at least he'll never kill the eggs. Not even if it's said to them that they're not them, he won't take that risk unless seeing it for his own eyes. (Unless it's code Dapper, he'll protect it no matter what)

i swear to god sega must be choosing which 3d sonic games they wanna rerelease at random because none of their choices here make any sense when i said they should focus more on making the 3d games more accessible instead of re releasing the classic games a million times this isnt what i meant

Hello! So like I've been having that Lights, Camera, Sing Your Sins AU rent free in my head for a while, and thought this up.

Since the prisoners weren't allowed to meet at first, they could hear the others practicing their singing nearby/next door. Some are awed by how passionate they put into their songs (eg: Haruka & Shidou), how into it (eg: Fuuta & Kotoko), how emotional (eg: Kazui), etc. This allowed the prisoners to imagine what the others are like.

...Then there's Mikoto with Red going all out with their MeMe song and it stunned everyone into silent fear until the prisoners meet him and go "YOU SANG THAT!?!"

I've been going so so crazy over this omg!!

No matter how big the facilities are, I'd imagine it would be difficult to keep ten people undergoing a full filming process completely separate from each other. Though they don't actually see each other, they overhear recording booth sessions while while walking down the hall. They spot unique outfits and props in the costume closet. They hear crew members giving Jackalope weird updates ("sir, where do you want the massive tarot cards when they're finished?" "the order of thousands of fake flowers has arrived" "we ran out of medieval outfits" etc.) They see teams lugging around massive set pieces from one stage to another. They hear a few hushed rehearsals from behind dressing room doors.

Mahiru totally tears up listening to Kazui. Meanwhile Kazui is blown away by Mahiru's enthusiasm and speed. Yuno thinks After Pain sounds really fun. Amane is awed at the other songs, (she's never even heard rock music before). Kotoko finds herself singing bits of Weakness. Muu is moved by Shidou. Fuuta is torn between being jealous of Mikoto's song and excited there's someone else with some yelling.

And so of course, the prisoners go crazy trying to piece together predictions about their upcoming cellmates. One the experiment begins, they subconsciously start matching up the voices they remembered hearing with their expectations. I think Shidou, Amane, and Kotoko would surprise people the most -- it seems hard hard to get a day-to-day read on them from their songs alone. Fuuta is simultaneously exactly what people were expecting and nothing like what they thought. Everyone's ideas of Mahiru were spot on. Haruka sang so confidently that the group is surprised to hear him stutter so often. Anyone who heard a bit of Meme is shocked when they meet Mikoto and make the connection. When asked about it, he just shrugs and laughs innocently, which only makes it harder to believe. Fuuta, excited to find someone else who did a rock song, is sorely disappointed at first.

it's such a shame that sophia as a character is so reliant on keeping everything about her a mystery until.... literally the last chapter, because it makes her a lot weaker as.... one of the main characters. she's intended to have the same level of importance as geppetto in the narrative, however, in execution..... you can't really get invested in her because she doesn't really offer anything meaningful to you until the very end, and by then it feels a little too little too late. (and so much of it is wrapped around simon's plotline, which i have already expressed i don't really care for.)

i think it's why i try to make a bigger deal of things like the hermit's cave, or the thing about being a listener being "the devil's power", according to sophia's mother. these bits show her as an existing part of the setting she's in, and not as the walking Big Reveal set-up she... kind of is, honestly.

sophia is meant to be p's guide through his growing humanity, a counterpoint to geppetto, and i wish more was done with it!!!
