Ok so I have been stewing this crossover au in my brain nonstop for the past few days and. I am nothing if not committed to the bit, so. Volume cover redraws :)

Here are the originals:

If you want to read more about my one piece spy x family crossover, keep reading!

So the idea is simple! Crossover reincarnation au where ASL is reborn in Spy x Family. They’re each born separately and none of them are born with the same names as their previous lives, and with no way of finding each other, they each find their own thing to do in the world.

Sabo, too used to the dangers of being a spy, eventually finds a cause to devote himself to again, in preventing war from engulfing the country he was reborn in. Ace, drawn to fire as he was in his previous life, used arson as a means to rob rich people for sustenance and survival, and is eventually scouted and hired by Garden as a fire specialist and assassin. And Luffy, though born in perhaps the poorest condition, grows up happily and takes whatever part time jobs he wants to do.

The thing about Sabo is that, as much as he seems like a young man of good repute and high standing within society, everyone in WISE knows that he is a massive nuisance. Nobody knew in the beginning how a child less than half the age of most of their veteran agents could have the same skills and knowledge in their profession. Sabo was— and still is— hyper competent, and by the time WISE figured out just how much of a menace to society he was, it was too late.

Ace forgot for the first few years of his new life that he wasn’t made of fire, and consequently, received multiple accidental burns. This did not deter him, however, from growing up to be a very skilled arsonist, well-practiced in every which way to start a dumpster fire or house fire. As a teenage he would use this often to draw attention as he robbed rich people blind. When he was caught, he was given an ultimatum by Garden: join them and receive payment for starting fires and causing problems under contract, or face the government and authorities for his crimes. Begrudgingly, he joined Garden, but eventually comes to appreciate that he can make substantial money in his element.

Luffy is Luffy. No telepathy or experimentation, no fancy schools, no gimmicks or secret identities. But he has still lived an extremely colorful life in this world, full of fascinating and kind individuals who have helped him grow up healthy and relatively happy. He goes where he is free, and he takes whatever part time jobs he wants in order to make the minimum he needs to survive.

Ace and Sabo find each other first, in their late teens, and neither of them realize that the other remembers their previous life, but both refuse to separate. (Sabo thinks Ace doesn’t remember, because Ace didn’t recognize him. Ace never saw Sabo grow up past 10, however, so he doesn’t recognize older Sabo immediately. By the time he does realize who exactly Sabo is, Sabo has backtracked and pretends to know Ace from a dream, or from somewhere else.)

Sabo’s attachment to Ace, predictably, causes problems between Sabo and WISE, but by then, Sabo is indispensable to the organization, and they make an exception for Sabo to be able to remain with Ace, so long as Ace never finds out what Sabo’s actual job is. Ace, on the other hand, hides his job because he doesn’t want his brother, who he has just found and who does not know Ace well enough yet, to know that he makes a living from killing people.

And they find Luffy sometime afterwards, prior to the beginning of the Spy x Family canon. Luffy figures out, not long after moving in with his brothers, both of his brothers’ secret occupations and the fact that both of them remember their past memories. He thinks it is common knowledge, however, and so he never brings it up.

[ cw: assumed death / assumed sibling death / assumed child death / solitude ]

Thinking about Leo being trapped in the Prison Dimension and keeping himself warm through the power of his own ninpo - this ability is shown to us as a flame, after all, so imagine if, when he lets his mystic energy run through him, it warms him up, just a little.

In this desolate place, all cold and alone, he focuses on that flame and leans into its warmth.

He relies on it, and he realizes it that he’d relied on it too much when it goes out, and he’s once again cold.

(In another dimension, the Hamatos believe they lost one of their own.)

“Azriel slaughtered all of them within moments. He didn’t hesitate. But I could barely move, and when I tried to get up … He gave me his cloak and wrapped me in it."

Art is by Kloartz

I love how the artist captured this scene. It is heart-wrenchingly beautiful.

And I'm not going to romantize this scene but the fact it's a direct parallel to Lucien giving Elain his cloak after her traumatic event speaks volumes to me.

These two are endgame. No doubt in my mind about that.

"So boring. How long are we going to be waiting?" A voice said seeing a few demons worried.

"Now now, I'm sure we will be there soon. Just wait a bit longer." the driver said but heard a sigh from the popular musician. Tadao Hashimoto, a incubus ghoul was sitting in his limo looking at the window. He was told about some thing but he was only bored knowing this was going to be another long meeting when getting there. Oh well, he just hopes it was worth the time for it.

I don't know if Tumblr is aware, but the Disneyland Fantasmic animatronic dragon caught on fire last night

there are A Lot of videos out there of the incident, but this one is, hands down, my favorite one

[jmoonjones]

I hope we see Nesta, Elain, and Feyre do some sisterly bonding and healing in the next books. They're all quite different from each other but their hobbies are perfect for them to share together:

Nesta gives them dance lessons! (They use the shiny magic iPod that Cassian got her for Solstice, and Feyre starts a huge leg warmers trend in Velaris)

Elain shares her favourite recipes with them! (It's mostly Elain explaining a new technique she discovered while Feyre and Nesta monch all the batches to "taste test")

Feyre teaches them how to paint! (It's a handy way to get Nyx's nursery decorated too! They'll make a huge mess and have Rhys clean up)

I know I’m super corny but what is tumblr if not a corny safe space?

Messmer's fight having Radagon's leitmotif...my delusional crackpot theory is that he is a prototype of Marika attempting to expel curses from her body; so he's not a child in the traditional way...just a sapling...but it wasn't enough

Only later was she able to leave behind Radagon, fully divest herself of this burden and become a god, like Miquella did with St.Trina

“The flames keep on beckoning, but I won’t let this forest burn for me.”

The Forest For The Trees will not leave my brain I adore both the song and music video so very much. I want to make for art for it once July has passed since I’m a bit more focused on Artfight at the moment, but for now here’s what I suppose would be ‘sonas’ for this song.

Anyways. Love this song it’s already become very personal and important to me, and I have so many thoughts about the meanings, as well as the specific symbolism for these designs, but I do not feel the need to articulate them right now. Perhaps I will at another point

It feels so good to hold you, I can’t squeeze you hard enough, I feel you inside of my heart…
