Reasons I sometimes explore shipping fics/tags with aro characters

I want to explore their dynamic with another character

I headcanon them as being arospec

I hc them as in a qpr

I don't have enough content for the character

I don't understand romantic attraction so it can seem platonic to me

I'm very good at skipping kissing/sex scenes and pretending they didn't happen

Sometimes all of these things at the same time

Point is, there's some nuance to the discussion and I'm not going to pretend I'm perfect when it comes to this

But also, is it too much to ask for people, especially alloromantic people, to acknowledge and respect the very little aromantic, representation there is?

I love your artwork so much! Your colors are so vibrant and none of the white speckles in the paper ever shows, its so impressive and I really dig it! I was wondering if you use any sort of blending medium? Like baby oil or anything? Either way, I really enjoy looking at your artwork and I'm always excited to see whatever you'll make next

I use a colorless blender (prismacolor, which is wax-based so baby oil probably wouldnt work) but my scanner is also rly bad about picking up white specks in a way photographing the art with my phone isnt, so I usually have to do some digital editing to get rid of them as well.

I do this by duplicating the layer, setting the one on top to "darken," and using the mixer brush to blend out the white spots + just use the eyedropper tool to select the color of that area (needs to be a slightly lighter shade of it) and color over the white spots with the brush tool

i edited a small bit of the original scan to show what i mean

original:

with the edited layer:

heres how it looks set to normal instead of darken, I used both the mixing brush and regular brush just to demo it

Question 2: do you have, like, a map of the scars Ed has accrued over the course of SSSBMTY? They sure do be getting into a decent number of Scrapes:tm:

I do in fact have a scar map of Ed. You know when I was making it I realized a lot of the damage Ed takes it like... internal. Like they get kicked around A LOT.

I'm putting it under the break because it's not reeeally partial nudity �� they're wearing shorts and a bra — but there's enough skin I'd rather not make anyone uncomfy if they don't wanna see.

Behold! All the shit I never bother to add when I draw Ed!

Let's hear it for the ✨rippling abs✨ and ✨mmmmm back muscles✨ Y'all anatomy is hard and I refuse to make it accurate. Idk if you can read half that shit. Goddamnit the Strawhats should have gotten Lichtenburg figure scars after fighting Eneru it would have been COOL. Now let's see how long it takes for this shit to be outdated because Ed gets their ass kicked.

im kinda glad i was a tiny child when windwaker came out and i only played it years later without having internet access for the longest time bc i would have NOT survived the hatred i know ww got when it first came out bc it wasnt what most people expected (ww is my fav zelda)

loving botw but not liking totk and seeing the vast majority praise the latter like its the holy grail while alot also discrediting and needlessly hating on botw for it is already making it hard to stay calm about :U

The Strawhats in general have the BIGGEST LGBT+ energy.

Sanji? Closeted Bi ((maybe transfemme))

Ussop? Somebody look me in the eye and say he wouldn't be AT LEAST an ally, ideally bi/pan panic lad

Chopper? Yeah he's well read. He's also a reindeer. He's an animal. Biology dictates the survival of a species is reliant on reproducing but yeah homosexuality and gender changes occur in nature, why would he be upset about that?

Luffy? Aroace king. Squishes abundant. Romance? Weird. You know what isn't weird? Loving your friends.

Zoro? That's a gay man if I've ever seen one.

Vivi? Bisexuality win. She and Nami are long distance.

Robin? She doesn't really know what she is, she doesn't really look for labels, she's simply Vibing and Being Happy. Honestly? Queen shit.

Brook? He's a skeleton. He only has bones in his pants. Equal opportunity panty peeker.

Franky? Nonbinary specifically bc he thinks it's hilarious that his gender is "myeh" but he's a robot, the programming was binary, but HE'S NOT LMAOOOO ((Big Bro, but in a Vibe Way, not a Gender Way, you know how it is-))

Jimbei? Aroace uncle who is sex neutral and will throw down if anyone hurts his kids crewmates/captain.

There's no room for bigotry in their ship and anyone who tries will catch EVERYONE'S hands

I have some different headcanons but you're so real for all of these !!! Gayest crew in the seas and that's hard because all pirates are queer 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

boys when they melt in their shoes smh my head

-Like what you see? Why not buy a commission?-

[vividviolence]

I feel kinda bad for saying this but literally whenever someone tries to sell a piece of media/fanwork as "X if it was actually good!" It almost always turns me off no matter the quality. Sorry 😭

underrated candidate for the funniest thing to happen in the history of film: during the production of ready player one (2018), steven spielberg told the book's writer about his suggestion for the plot to a sequel, and it was basically the plot of sword art online

i have a confession to make, up until we saw him in the gojo vs. sukuna fight chapters, i literally had no idea kashimo existed…

historical fashion question: what is your favorite period for fashion(including location, you may specify womens or mens or something more specific)? also favorite piece of historical clothing? cause tie on pockets fuck hard

I had to think to whittle down to favorites, haha. My favorite period for fashion is Edwardian/Late Victorian and Ancient Greek. I'm a huge sucker for the Late Victorian curved silhouette, and I really like the loose, pinned/tied functionality of the Greek chiton. Probably women's fashion for the Victorian era, but all genders for Greek. I'm also a huge sucker for colorful men's clothing of any nationality ~1730-1800, but I think that's just because I like color in general~

Favorite piece of historical clothing: maybe the maternity corset.

It SOUNDS counterintuitive, but it's still functional for back pain and bust support during pregnancy, and there are other versions for jumps and stays throughout history. I'm definitely not an expert on them, but I love esoteric, forgotten undergarments; I wish they got a little more limelight in fashion history.

however speaking of Visual Catos someday i will make a post about how really normal i am about the bronze bust of cato

[trashcreatyre]

Currently somewhere with lots of posters on the walls that are all hung up with magnets and it’s just making me think of my one art teacher who would put our art up on the board during critique days and would put push pins through the paper drawings and paintings and it would piss m off every time to the point where i just stopped letting her put my stuff up and I’d just do it myself

[macabre-crab]

Sitting pretty in the prime of life I'm so tasty and the price is right Stewing in the black dope I'm filthy and I love it Studebaker all gold Got a shotgun in my pocket .
