a fantastic commission from @themetalhiro of my Dungeons & Devil Fruits 5e Sniper Marksman, Vinsmoke “Starfall Gunner” Beretta!

it was an absolute treat to work with you, looking forward to the next opportunity to do so!

#one piece oc #dungeons and devil fruits #themetalhiro #other people's art #let it be known that this campaign is EXTREMELY AU mostly because our captain rolled the ‘king of the pirates’ dream #and there is no chance in davy jones’s locker of the daggertooth pirates beating the straw hats in THAT competition #so the daggertooths are basically taking the role of the straw hats in this version of the setting #there’s been a lot of development over the course of the campaign that ultimately led to her being established as a vinsmoke #most of it came about from rolling the Red Raid Suit on a loot table when we were doing a piracy #and bc gunner is the only one who doesn’t have a devil fruit she took the suit #then after she attuned to it the dm remembered that they’re genelocked #so we quickly worked something together behind the scenes #and it was decided that #1. vinsmoke sora has some distant three-eyes ancestry that judge wanted to tap into #2. lineage factor experiments to reactivate the genetic predisposition for the voice of all things resulted in the growth of a third eye #(2a. the third eye is actually attached to the same part of the three-eyed lineage factor as VOAT)#(2b. she has the pointed ears as a little treat for me personally from initial character creation)#3. because of the ‘kill on sight’ order re: three-eyes vinsmoke goji was sent away to be raised away from germa kingdom #beretta was what goji’s adoptive parents renamed her to conceal her true identity and she’s gotten attached to it #4. vinsmoke ichiji isn’t sparking red anymore now he’s sonic purple and he has thunder powers #she’s also trans and spent her timeskip training montage in kama land so iva did her a solid #pre-timeskip i had her presenting as male bc it wasn’t until i had started solidifying her character that i realized estrogen would fix her #but it’s been kind of cool how much easier she’s been to rp since her transition

Bonus 7: Time moves sideways

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #Despite a whole ass inspiration board for reference - it turns out drawing and colouring half submerged people is a CHALLENGE.#I am channeling the zoobie bunny and internally screaming “WHY DID YOU THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA”.#What I wanted was a cool transition between present and past! What I got was a very full mouth of my own foot!#That said: there are aspects I really like about this one and I feel like I got most of the way to where I wanted it to be.#Water is hard to draw and I am saying that even after dedicating a full 4 page comic with people in the water.#Forget hands. Water is my new nemesis.#I love how floaty this flashback transition was. The hazy mind wandering as LWJ carries him as a set up to recollection!#Aren't memories an incredible thing? To relive a moment in your mind? To have time repeat again and again?#And yet it is always a little different when we go to recall it once again. We are different people than the person we once were.

honestly in retrospect, "i'll never make a webcomic, i'm not a comic guy" was a pretty bold claim from the guy who was basically raised on calvin and hobbes anthologies and a few different long-running hiveworks webcomics, and who's entire art style is, at its long-buried core, based on this one pokemon tf comic artist they accidentally found on deviantart at like age 10 and obsessed over for like 3 years

#“why were you on deviantart on age 9” unrestricted internet access on the family computer. think i got there by typing “pokemon” into google #the art was not nsf / w or even really suggestive but i should not have been looking at it probably. sorry [redacted]#who i still check on sometimes bc theyre on bsky rn #i think they planted the transgender seeds in me as well #they had this like hot scientist sona who was ???? a girl?? and then transitioned when they did iirc. baby's first gender envy #anyways hidden lore bc i was thinking abt it agian #sparks speaks #also been daydreaming about redux getting accepted into hiveworks or some bigshot comic circle thing #but every comic circle thing i have ever seen big or small like. accepts members every 2-3 years if at all lol #which i understand is due to the fact that there are Fifteen Million Webcomics (this is a good thing!) but also bwahh. i want a cool comic-#--community that's more centralized than the vague hosting world of comic fury #but it's probably too early in the run for any of that anyway lol

i have a personal bias against aus/headcanons/theories where all of saikis friends have powers cuz im just not a fan of like... the way it changes the message from "youre different, and thats okay!" to "theres nothing different or special about you lmao", or at least thats what it feels like in my opinion 😭

im having an absolute unadulterated blast with the Ethersea prologue for many many reasons, it's beautiful and exceeds all my expectations.. but also. there's many moments here that genuinely make me go "oh god damn, these people are Americans." the Quiet Year system is a profoundly fascinating and revealing game - nothing tells you quite as much about how somebody sees the world than asking them to imagine a new one.

#customizable 'single family housing' the immediate adoption of a liberal economic system hierarchical gvt structures... and fish #especially when the whole set up is such a clear metaphor for climate change as the consequence of industrialization!#'single family housing' just rocked me so hard. that in the middle of an apocalypse we'd use resources towards that kind of individualism #and then they *do* kind of brush against that! with the idea of Community going down because of the inability to connect with neighbours!#the adventure zone #taz ethersea #mine #edit also not to understate that i do find the critique and allegory that is present to be really nice and genuinely exciting #the ending of prologue v goes SO HARD i was out of breath from the excited stimming #and i think my difficulty reading tone made me miss that the 'entrepeneur' thing was a joke? like theres still some #interesting biases at work here but maybe there's more insight than i gave it credit for. im curious about how ol' joshie's bs will develop #autistic anarchocommie netwon moments #also i wish theyd be less anxious about the brinear as a DID allegory i think it could be so interestinggg #we'll see. im really loving this show so far. taz has such a very special direct connection to my heart #i really like what theyre doing with this stuff even if sometimes i wish theyd do a lot more #the ending monologue of prologue v basically encapsulates most of the things about this that i find exciting and cool #i hope the transition to dnd will still allow them to bloom

undertale yellow. clutches head in anguish.

#[cherry on top]#undertale yellow spoilers #[..its still you]#anyways. finished my uty playthrough yesterday. oh my god.#^ that might be a bit of a surprise given that ive said like. nothing about it on here #but honestly i felt like positive-neutral about the game for most of it. like yeah it was good;#but nothing that drove me crazy. yknow? it was just an overall good game.#which is why i didnt really say anything about it #then it started picking up near the middle-end with the steamworks-#i enjoyed axis and guardener a lot; ceroba was a cool party member;#and the music in steamworks goes hard. one of my favorite tracks tbh #then there was the buildup to cerobas fight.#then i /got/ to cerobas fight and. crumples up into a ball AAUUUUUUUUUU #OH MY GODDDDDD #something about it made me shatter into a million tiny pieces.#a lot of things did actually. like how HARD IT WAS #i was stuck on her for OVER AN HOUR #BUT I DID IT. I DID IT LEGIT. IT WAS SO SATISFYING WHEN I FINALLY BEAT HER #god im just insane about ceroba rn. women who fuck up everything big time #and see no other option other than to dig their hole deeper because they sure as hell arent getting out of it #OH AND THE ENDING... BECAUSE OH MY GODDDD OF COURSE CLOVER WOULD DO THAT AHUGHHHHH #THEY'RE THE JUSTICE SOUL. THEY WANTED TO BRING MONSTERS TO JUSTICE AFTER ALL THEY FACED #OF FUCKING COURRSSSEEEEEEE AAAUUGHHHHH <- wail of anguish #KILLING AND MAIMING AND BITING.#SORRY. i needed to lose it for my mental health. quoting that one tiktok: 'im craeezay. im insaaane!'#for other tidbits i wanted to mention:#cerobas bossfight music went HARD. i fucking love the phase 3 transition especially with her yelling as the music starts;#that black hole attack can go fuck itself;#and if you were wondering how long it took me to beat uty. it was around 10-11 hours for a pacifist route.#anyways i totally need to play more games. that was fucking awesome and i need to experience more things like that

i love thinking about future/transfem!nate because she's so different to the original idea for her character. big tall fairly masc guy who's in good shape because of manual labor? and sex plays a big role in his story? yeah she's a woman now. she's asexual. she's disabled. and she's happy <3

#nate #i've been thinking about how maybe she'd start identifying as asexual #sex DOES play a big part in nate's story. and it's a complicated thing.#i don't want to get into explaining my character's psychology at 1:20 am. but i have my reasons for thinking that maybe transfem nate would #think of herself as asexual.#the disabled part......well i kinda wanted to give one of my characters a cane because i use one and thought it would be cool icl #but i feel like it makes sense. all the manual labor from a young age caught up with her #also she's in general *so* different as a woman #she's so happy. kind of crazy to see your oc transition in your mind #joy makes her into an entirely different person honestly #she spent so many years feeling so. suffocated. so uncomfortable.#i think it makes a lot of sense for her to transition.#and for her to id as ace too #but believe me. this is the kind of thing that happens after a year+ of sitting with a character #if you knew the original idea behind nate you would probably be confused. but i know what i'm doing #persimmon's rambles

Random but. Shoutout to trans women with beards / moustaches

Especially trans women who like their facial hair, especially if you have to justify it as part of being a woman. No one is normal about women with facial hair full stop but trans women have boss music playing 24/7 about that shit

#and not normal boss music its like SMT in there #sometimes transitioning is about losing X things and gaining Y things #but sometimes its about converting your X's to Y's #sometimes its girlbeard and boyboobs not shaving and top surgery #and youve gotta be cool with that #*shouting* Even if you don't find it attractive!!!#if you can normalise and get on board with gandalf big naturals you can be normal about girls with moustaches #and not suggest how to “”“fix”“” it (unprompted)#obviously this is also about trans women who do not like their facial hair too #but its unreal how a trans woman being happy with her body makes peoples heads explode #especially if she isnt nonbinary #there are no gendered bodyparts. no not even that one

Okay so basically the United States MINT of all people is going to be working with DC to make a line of coins! These coins sadly won't be in circulation (the things I would do to live in a world where I could get Batman coins from the supermarket) as they're collectors coins, but will be releasing over the course of the next 3 years, 2025-2027.

Designs haven't been released yet (the same is true for all 2025 designs) but we know there will be 9 coins in total (3 each year) with the first year featuring (of course!!!) Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

Although we know the first three heroes to be featured, the remaining six have yet to be decided, and it turns out the Mint is putting out a survey on their site to gauge which of a group of culturally significant heroes people want to see most! (link to the form is mentioned in the article above)

The considered group includes: Supergirl, the Flash, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, John Stewart GL, Aquaman, Hawkman, Jamie Reyes BB, Robin (Damian?), Cyborg, and Batgirl, of which 6 will be selected.

As someone who does a bit of coin collecting myself (mainly circulation coins like the quarters sets, but I also have a couple proof and collectors coins) I think this is a really cool and interesting idea that showcases the history of the comics medium and these characters and their influence on American culture. Really excited to wait and see what the designs look like for the coins already announced!

#ABSOLUTELY INSANE TO ME #sorry just. only thing that could make this crazier is if these were circulating. i would fucking die actually lmao #i mean you could buy something with one of these legally but like youre an idiot if you do that so likeeee #someone showing up with the solid gold superman collector coin and its only legally worth a dollar lmao #not that someone would do this but future generations/archeologists finding a coin in some ruins and it just has like. batman on it #amazing to me #also just the transition from us currency having all fake people (lady liberty some random native american guy etc.) and then going to real #people and presidents then expanding that to honor people that they believe should be honored (think the harriet tubman coin set right now)#and representing beauty and innovation and culture through representation of the states #only through that lens to swing back around and have fake people on the coins again in the form of the freaking dc trinity. insane to me #no one ever gets me when im nerding out over coins its okay. at least its not postage stamps (i actually do have some special postage stamps #its like 1 sheet though it was for the 2017 eclipse and the image changes from totality to the moon with the heat of your finger theyre so #cool okay) anyways i like dont really know that much abt coins lol i originally saw a post abt this on reddit 💀 lol and had to check this #was real which is insane. anyways my dad got my all my coin stuff ive got a proof set from the year i was born albums to hold the 50 states #and national parks (america the beautiful but its 90% natl park designs lets be honest here) quarter collections as i find them irl #(dont have an album for us women yet sadly but do have some of the coins) as well as a few dimes and other circulation albums i havent used #much. and then i have a few collectibles like the hubble telescope $1 coin the 50th anniversary apollo 11 one and the 2021 anniversary peace #dollar. though like not the gold ones or anything like that lol but yeah. i talk abt coins every once and a while with friends and i know #things but then my dad is in the car and its like nevermind lol.#also put a ? after damian's name bc theres a chance it could be dick and they just used the wrong picture. because some of the character #bios had names but his didnt and seemed very dick grayson (acrobatics mention “batman's partner” etc) but not so specfic exclude either one #and the pick was damian. but then the ollie pick was goateeless for some reason so who knows #culturally dick is more important but dami is current so idk #dc comics #blah #ive really been learning so much today. first all in announcement and subsequent leaks and now this. what a ride #also love how im anticipating and know future comics things lol. when did that happen haha. ive really transitioned from only reading back #issues and never knowing current events to following a lot of releases lol and somehow finding out about the freaking coin collection...#crazy how that happens #cant scroll up at that first image without losing it a bit still actually. what a world we live in. anyways take your bets who is gonna be

specialized education and gifted children programs are so fucked up I see the purpose but the execution and expectations are genuinely horrific I've yet to meet a single one of us that's doing okay besides from those who just reached their breaking point and chose to stop caring

#gifted kid burnout #It's so fucked up the emotional stress levels we're normalizing and the expectations to do the best and be the best when everyone #Has been told they're the best and special #Middle school high school college etc should be learning times yes and expose you to new things #The opportunities provided are wonderful and its really cool how many programs you can have access to #But the competition and stress shoved into a relatively short time period isn't productive for helping kids learn and try new things #Especially since they're expected to be a fully functioning adult afterwords with little to no prioritization of information #That could help with that transition #I'm very frustrated with the American education system I don't know enough about other countries education to comment on theirs #Cue rambles #ESPECIALLY NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE OH MY GOD #I would like to say something about that but I want to do more research on that besides from me just speaking from experience and people #Around me

tha terf paradox of promoting acceptance of oneself's biological nature and not changing it for societal ideologies but then turning around and criticizing any person that has a different perception of their biological nature that doesn't immediately enter the "male or female" binary hmmm,,,,

#berry.rambles <3 #does this make sense #like #ok cool. lets remind women that just because they're gnc doesnt mean that they have to transition (which isnt a malevolent idea at all imo)#but then the second a gnc woman (that's consciously aware that society sees her as a woman) decides to go by she/they or anything else #she's suddenly the woke version of not like other girls???#HUH #what does that even mean #do you people realize that some women just dont really care about the language used when they're talked about #like its not a “distancing myself” from femalehood (??) thing its literally coming to terms with the fact that language is not rigid #i go by any pronouns because i literally dont care #im a girl i know that #but im not gonna flip out if you call me he or they or she or it #like i have bigger problems didya think about that for a second!!!#this idea that any kind of personal uniqueness/individualism is ALWAYS patriarchy-related is so???? yes the patriarchy doesnt care but #why shouldnt we care about what the women feel too???#its so insane how they'll talk about eliminating the patriarchy/distancing themselves from it to weaken it #but then the second a woman talks about her unique experiences as a female and how it differs from other women's #they jump into her comments/reblogs talking about “yeah sure whatever but remember you'll always be seen as nothing but a female”#“men don't care about that so you might as well not even view yourself as unique or different from other women”#“patriarchy doesn't care about (insert gnc/trans thing) cause you're still female”#literally using the patriarchy as an excuse to lump all women into a monolith #i dont wanna be with other women #some of you are dumb!!!#traditionalists. conservatives. zionists. religious women. liberal women. libertarians. nationalists. some of you are vile im not gonna lie #some women reject class consciousness as women #thats on them #some women think that their societal condition is natural. thats on them unless they change.#you'll never get everybody on your team #which is why instead of yapping about this nonbinary person or that he/him lesbian

i mean, i know i present very feminine, and im okay with she/her pronouns, so it doesnt seem like im genderqueer, but i am. and i know that can seem kinda alarming to a lot of people because how are you supposed to know? you don't know, and thats okay with me, im not going to be upset if you get it wrong. but there are people in my life that i've told a thousand times and they still dont get it.

the truth is, it's not hard to respect my gender identity. im fine with pretty much anything, so you cant really get it wrong.

but then youre visibly uncomfortable with how I live my life.

i dont dress feminine enough

i dont shave

i dont plan on getting married and im not sure how i feel about having kids.

you dont judge my brothers about these things. but you judge me.

and i think you should respect any woman or man or genderqueer person for all of the criteria above and more.

but when you judge me, i feel like you don't actually take me seriously when i say im genderqueer. i dont think you get it. i think you just see a girl who is not good enough and you only love me despite these things.

you said it was fine when i said i was genderqueer. i dont think you meant it.

#yes i am still upset about the fight we had earlier #i dont think it was just about shaving #i think it was also about her incessant need to fix everything her brutal judgement of me and her blatant disregard for my gender identity #but maybe im thinking too much about it 🤷#its not just this that makes me think she doesnt respect me #its when im trying to talk to her about being genderqueer and she still dismisses it.#shes cool with transness but seems to have this black/white thinking about gender. there doesnt seem to be an in between for her #so im either a cis girl or a trans man to her. and I'm not either of those things #but bc i havent outright transitioned and i dont plan to im stuck dealing with all of her preconceived ideas about how a girl SHOULD be #tldr if you actually respect me as a genderqueer person you wouldnt hold me to expectations you have for women #expectations that you shouldnt have for women anyway but i feel are doubly worse because ive already told you im not a woman #idk i hope that makes sense

I genuinely feel like I dont have a right at all to complain or talk negative about Japanese fans but like……..the evident cliqueish-ness of honestly what looks like a very unfortunate larger chunk of them ……😮‍💨

like i gotta be honest the concert was a lot more isolating than it actually already was in itself because of the vibes at least a couple of clusters of fans gave me

#ramblin but not a gamblin man #like there’s a point where the pretty fixed staring or being like….physically distanced by everyone just gets…..unnerving #like the train back was completely fucking packed #except for in the space in front of where i was sitting…..lol #there was room for at least two people to stand if only people had actually consolidated and scrunched #like they had been doing the entire motherfucking way through transit and back #but i guess fuck them they can wait for the next train??? sure that makes sense #like i have never felt MORE uncomfortable and self-conscious being a smap/takuya fan #he’s the only piece that actually matters at the con tho 🫰#i probably should have brought merch but i actually was not crazy about the con’s theming (it’s…giving a bit too parasocial for my taste)#and I didn’t even consider bringing gwtf or next destination merch but i probably should have #but it’s not actually /mine/ so then i would think about how everyone that has theirs maybe probably ACTUALLY went to the concerts #that was another thing tho which is absolutely stupid because the whole point of a con is to SHOW OFF the stuff #but it was actually like……..off putting to me…….#idk maybe it’s cuz i innately have a weird ‘relationship’ with smap/individual members in that they aren’t normal-level interests #it just wasn’t sitting right with me seeing hoards of fans with bags..shirts..hats..all kinds of stuff lol #and it’s so hard NOT to have a defense mechanism like ‘I wonder if that person likes smap or /just/ takuya….’#and ‘did you actually want to come to the concert or mostly/just because you think he’s hot/cool/etc etc?’#esp validating seeing TWO people yawn during the con which was genuinely pretty disgusting/distasteful lmao #like that’s worse than leaving early why are you EVEN HERE #sorry okay i could probably vent more but i actually shouldnt and also i might end up talking in circles but #he was genuinely…………so amazing im eternally grateful that i had the opportunity to see him live #and if there is a smap reunion………..#….i genuinely think smapchat should storm it #be our own ✨clique✨#(but like…actually nice and kind and probably how takuya would want his fans to be ie not thickly-layered judgment [heehee :3])#(im also actually kind of so serious ???)

Been a fan for a decade but Taemins new outfits look cheap and disjointed to me. They don’t do anything for him. Taemins always been sexy but the open chest and dog collar like necklace look weird and exploitative. I hope it’s him making all these bad decisions because at least I can respect that. He’s so talented, he deserves better fits. I miss his well designed stage fits. His look is so aimless now. Still love him to death but I think a lot of Taem fans are saying so much good stuff and being unrealistic. Sorry English is not my first language

so sorry you got the wrong blog

#i’d call them anything but aimless actually but that’s just my interpretation #especially bc i love the play on his metamorph iconic fit and the transition from heaven to sita featuring the loss of shirt #i think i love it more bc he’s talked about being really involved in it this time versus the sm mandated outfits of the past #which is cool and all you know we all prefer different things and i respect your opinion it’s just that i don’t share it #also english isnt my first language either so no worries (plus yours is rly good anyway)
