Patalliro! is fascinating to me because of stuff like this. It's unapologetically gay - even within its anime which aired during primetime hours in 1982 - in a way that many later BL manga would never be, like the ones from the early 2000s which would never dare to call their characters actual homosexuals. Patalliro has actually aged quite well in this regard, there's something comforting about how campy it is.

The independent religious bookstore is the only place you can go on an overpriced shopping spree and feel good about it.

“It was Luffy’s idea to dress up as pirates!” said Ace, from the living room.  Apparently already dressed.

When he’d arrived, he’d done so in a pair of black knee length shorts, his signature belt and beaded necklace, a dagger sheathed in green, and an orange hat with what you thought were a pair of goggles—one with a smiley face, the other with a frowny face.  The hat itself hung a medallion on his chest.  It was odd to see him without his worn beanie, a beanie that was falling apart with each passing day.

You’d asked what he was.  He’d told you.  And then you’d laughed, asking what sort of pirate Luffy thought Ace was! 

“You should see Luffy’s outfit,” Ace said again. 

“Oh?”  You peeked around the doorframe of your room. 

“He’s mocked up this huge scar on his chest, and put on an opened tshirt, shorts, and he’s wearing his strawhat again, and called himself a pirate.”

“What kind of pirate is that?” you laughed. 

“Your friend Franky is apparently going as a cyborg pirate—sounded awesome on paper!”

You pulled on the last item for the grand costuming idea of Nami’s.  And felt horribly exposed.  If Nami hadn’t managed to convince you that Ace would love it, you doubted that you would have worn it.  You were just glad this was only for Luffy’s Halloween party.

Ace was resting his head on the back of the couch when you walked back in, the fluffy cape of your costume pulled tightly around you.  He spotted you in his upside down vision and turned to face you.

“So,” he said.  “What are you?”

“Well, it was Nami’s idea.”  The mere thought of what was under the cape had your blush raging across your skin. 

This seemed to pique his interest, and he vaulted over your couch to join you.  “Sweet, your blush is telling me things I’m not sure I want others to like.”

“The theme was a pirate in an undercover raid in the enemy’s lair.”

“This enemy must be quite devilish,” he joked, flicking your little black horns on your head. 

“Just a bit.”

He was distracting enough in his limited costume.  You’ll admit that while you were shy about what you were wearing, you always wanted to look good next to Ace.  You knew he didn’t care how you were.  He was always resting his head on yours, and just seemed to think you were cute (not that you could agree on the days when you were hardest on your appearance, and that which you could partly agree on the days when you did like your appearance).  But you just wanted to show others that maybe, you were a physical match to Ace too. 

“I’m intrigued now,” he said, standing back.  “Show me?”

You let out a breath and slowly released the cape, letting it fall at your side.

Ace whistled low.  “That’s some enemy lair.”

It was a very revealing costume.  Thankfully not as revealing as Robin’s or Nami’s.  But it still exposed a vast amount of your skin.  Your legs, your stomach, most of your chest.  You had on a very short black skirt, and a very small crop.  Essentially, the ultimate costume design had you, Nami, and Robin all looking like Satan’s daughters.  All good for a raid on Onigashima!  Or so Nami had explained.

“It was Nami’s idea, but I thought, you know, I’m always really kind of dorky next to you so I thought…”

He raised a brow, then he chuckled, bracing his hands on your waist.  “Who cares what others think?  I happen to think you’re an excellent physical match for me.”

You blushed at that, a small shiver passed through in anticipation.  He seemed to notice, backing you against the wall, bracing an arm above your head. 

Just as he was about to kiss you, however, it took everything in you to cover his mouth with your hands. 

“Uh-uh, I don’t want to waste another hour fixing my makeup.”

“We could skip?”

You feigned a gasp, these days feeling more bold around him, now that you knew he seemed to find your oddness more adorable and interesting than just plain weird.  “And not show our friends how well we match physically?”

He chuckled, more at how red your skin had gotten, at how much it had taken for you to stay still.  He pressed a kiss to your cheek instead, with a mischievous glimmer in his eyes that said, if you were willing, he would help you undress later.  Still new to this part of your relationship with him, you blushed furiously.

too good to be true

Your interpretations of the Mario cast were honestly one of my favorites. I loved how kind, gentle, and beautiful your Mario, Luigi, and Peach were, how soft and wholesome your Mareach was, how calm and fatherly your Toadsworth was, what great wingmen/women your Toad and Toadette were, how monstrous and terrifying your Bowser was, how reptilian yet adorable and innocent your Bowser Jr. was, etc.

I’ll miss them all, but as I said in your returning post, I understand completely. Thank you so much for sharing them with us, Elita. When you’re ready to draw again, I look forward to seeing what other subjects you create!

Stoooop this is so sweeeet.. 🥹💝💐

Fans like you are the reason why I've made art of these these characters for over a year, and also the reason why I stayed. Because the sincere appreciation you have for my work and my personal vision is the most uplifting and heartwarming thing I could ever experience online. 🌈

Thank you so so much for the wonderful feedback. 🫂 You've always been so supportive and kind to me, I can't tell you how much it means to know that you'll continue to be around! I can't wait to happily dive into other subjects for a bit! And who knows: maybe someday I'll share some more Mario art! 🤗

If they kill Solas and not at least let someone be there with him while he does I will be tearing down BioWare like Solas wants the Veil.

something about like. "I get the creeping feeling all my old friends are gone And that this baby tooth no longer fits in my skull

[haunting yet uplifting yet bittersweet instrumental break]

If you can draw it in the air Or write it down, then you weren't there What's gone is mute Someone changed the truth They smoked the proof And there's nothing left..."

i think canajoharie might be the only song ever?

Fields of Mistria's OST is such a banger that I can't stop looping the mine adventuring music

Crazy thing is-- Normally I hate mining portions in Farming/Town/Village Life games like this, like I did not really enjoy whenever I had to go sink some time into the mines in Stardew Valley

But Fields of Mistria? I'm ready to eat roasted cauliflower, beat up hostile ores, and get so much treasure and artifacts
