Would you have to find a reason to write a Luffy x OC ship since Luffy clearly is not interested in romance in canon? Is it right to write it anyway? Should it be explained why he suddenly is more interested in romance? i've only read short stories so far where it wasn't adressed.
Hey, thanks for your ask! Once again, I apologize for the late response. Let's hope that uni is nicer to me in the future.
Short answer: Fanfic is fanfic and you can do whatever you want. You can address it or not address it, you can headcanon him as more aro or less aro - whatever you want. In the end, it's your story to write.
Slightly longer answer: It really all depends on your interpretation of the character. But even if Luffy isn't really interested in romance in your eyes at all, he could still be interested in having a relationship. What we in society see as inherently romantic or platonic is absolutely arbitrary and has changed a lot over the course of history, so defining what counts as romantic really doesn't make a lot of sense. And Luffy especially probably wouldn't care, just like how he doesn't care about personal space.
So, to put this into a single sentence: Luffy being uninterested in romance doesn't mean he can't be in a relationship, and you don't have to justify yourself towards others on what your personal interpretation of a character is.
Hope this helped! Have a lovely day <3

"You have to pride everything on its own merits. I think that to have an almost like a moral position, or like a freedom-of-speech-esque kind of position on interpersonal relationships which are so dynamic and kind of emotional, which is a realm that isn't, you know, that objective, and I don't think should be kind of judged in the way that you could legislate. So for me, yeah, I think that art is great - like this great, this is all fucking cool - but if it hurts people… It's like the Burroughs thing, you know, like when he shot his wife. Like yeah, the lore is great and it makes Burroughs more interesting, but I'd rather her have lived than had cool books for me to read. And I'd rather people and children be like, happy."

hai batman, i was wondeing what i should do about this situation with my partner, i feel stupid for being ao upset about it but idk i feel justified? my partners phone keeps dying while were on call and ive explicitly told her multiple times it makes me upset and to stop and she hasnt, shes also now coming up with excuses and idk it just makes me split so bad and i dont know what to do :(
Hi anon,
Advice and resources below the cut
It’s important to remember that splits can occur due to any reason, or no reason at all, and it is not your fault. Although it can be hard since you are feeling or acting irrationally at this time, it’s important to ground yourself and prioritise your safety. It may be useful to take some space from your partner to avoid lashing out, but it’s important to communicate why you are taking some time to avoid a miscommunication.
When you are calm and able to communicate rationally, try and have an open discussion. I assume from your mention of splitting that you have bpd. It can be really tough to deal with feelings of abandonment over things that seem small and insignificant to others.
Try and communicate your feelings through expression of cause and emotion. Focus on how your partner’s actions make you feel, without being accusatory. For example ‘when your phone dies when we are on call, it makes me feel upset and anxious because I struggle with fears of abandonment’. Try and be honest without being resentful.
It’s important to listen to your partner. Due to the emotional response it may be a case of overthinking, and your partner may struggle to remember to put their phone on charge, or may have underestimated how much it is affecting you. Try and suggest compromises, such as calling them while their phone is charging, reminding them to check their phone battery throughout the call, or setting up reminders on their phone to show up automatically.
Be honest, be open, be rational. If your partner is caring they will empathise with your point of view and you can come to an understanding with each other. Good relationships are built on trust and a willingness to listen.
I wish you good luck.

Life is too short.
[ my art ] [ twitter ]
(detail + ratio rambling under the cut >_>)
This is one of those "I need a break between my ten other illustrations, let me do a lil sketchy sketch :D" that got too ambitious etc. etc. I never want to see the color red again" moments. BUT!
I really, really like to explore Ratio's viscerality and what's happening between his brain and his nerves, like... all of this thorough control and discipline and he still has to breathe and react to himself and his surroundings, you know? His accomplishments are insane for "his age"* but he's going to run out of "age" at some point! His ambitions are so far reaching that he's not worried about getting doctorate degree Number Nine! Rather, his efforts are pointed outwards, into the universe, for the universe. As you know.
Speaking of his degrees, I had a half thought a while ago that we've seen him with two types of laurel pins.
One is him in his suuuuuper cute mother goose avatar (three leaves) and the other is the hat he's wearing everywhere else (eight leaves).
The thought was, "Aww, what if they're like commemorative pins counting the number of his degrees or whatever :)". Literally only because there's eight in the current one. This is kind of silly because then you'd HAVE to have an obscene number of degrees even for a normal person for your leaf pin to start looking like a laurel in the first place so scratch that BUT it's cute to think that it's still academic regalia. Something something I work in higher ed myself and it's like... it's like that.
The university goldsmith appreciates the job security.
I REMEMBER WHY I BROUGHT THAT UP. FOLLOWING the fantasy where more leaves = more knowledge!, in summary, even though Ratio seems to be a little beyond trying to get a prize every time he learns something now. But he does want to Keep Going. He can only Keep Going.
So I drew him in a bathtub full of an uncountable amount of gold leaves looking at the camera with an indescribable expression born from a hunger that will never be satiated lol DETAIL SHOT!
*Referenced only vaguely in a comment in the context of astonishment, but it could have easily have been "woah he's accomplished so much for his age (young)" as it could be "woah he looks good for his age (older)". There is no canon age and even then, reconciling standardized system time versus planetary time versus "does his particular breed of lizard human have the same lifespan as tumblr user nhura?" is a losing game for everyone involved! Here's what I think: I think he started going grey in his early twenties, whatever that means in spacefantasygame, and that that's very cute on him.
Do YOU think Ratio would be tempted by immortality???? Or would he MIND HIS BUSINESS
#dr ratio#dr. ratio#hsr fanart#veritas ratio#hsr#my art#SORRY FOR THE INSANE COLOR CHOICE I feel bad posting this in ratio circles because normal ratio art is pleasing on the eye.#blue and gold and white. some ivory. tan sometimes. like fresh air on a brisk day#not piss christ is what i'm saying#in my defense his eyes look like that anyway so this is actually Topical.#I want to talk about Ratio's self image and relationship to his own flesh but that's for another day. unless you ask me niceys#my art: hsr#honkai star rail#holding up a sign that says I LIKE THAT RATIO'S PHYSICAL BODY IS BOTH A CONTINUOUS PROJECT AND LABOR OF PERFECTION WHILST BEARING THE CONSE#THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS EXTRAORDINARY LIFE#PART 3: why does ratio not have an art degree? it's simpler than you think.#okay i'm done BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always wondered why Katniss factored marriage and children into the equation when it came to reciprocating Peeta’s feelings for her. It’s a rather large leap, especially when Peeta himself never expresses wanting children at any point in the story. He uses children as a tool to persuade Katniss and the Capital to save her life, but the only time we see him express any desire/feelings of having one of his own is when he’s crying after the baby bomb. But we never hear his real thoughts.
But you wanna know who does express wanting children? Gale.
It’s one of the first thing he mentions in chapter one. And it pisses her off so much.
(I also want to add that Gale reframes/establishes the dynamic of Katniss and him caring for their siblings from something that is sibling-sibling to parent-sibling. And he is not wrong. Katniss doesn’t refute him. Both Katniss and Gale are surrogate parents to their siblings. Which is also why Katniss love and affection of Prim, is not just sisterly. I’ve seen people say Katniss is only sisterly to Prim- but she’s not. She’s parentified their relationship to the point she subconsciously see Prim as her child, which makes this a tragedy because she’ll loose her first child no matter what she does by the end of the story.)
But Gale’s phrasing here elevates himself as a potential suitor to Katniss by placing them both as the parental roles to these children. (Which irritates her a lot ). Which is why she brings the topic up with her relationship with Peeta. Because she’s subconsciously aware of Gale’s efforts and knows it will be a point of contention between them. It hangs over her head in a way.
With Gale, children are extra mouths to feed. (But Gale will do fine. He can work. He can hunt.) It’s all framed with calculated survival in mind. But it’s also not something she had planned in the future at any point.
But Peeta’s children? Oh they deserve to be born because Peeta deserves to be a father. He would be such a good father. They deserve to exist in a world where they can be safe and happy. (Even if it’s not with her.)
This is also why I think she subconsciously sees Peeta’s baby as her own. And I don’t think of it as a cruel/heartless thing, it’s just you’d be more protective of your own child compared to someone else’s. Katniss sees Gale as a reliable person who’s equipped to look after a kid. She doesn’t express the same kind of maternal instinct/yearning for the Baby Hawthrone’s safety as she does with the idea of Baby Mellark, because she doesn’t think of Gale’s child as her own. She never hopes for a better future for them, but she does with Peeta because he and that baby gives her hope. And she loves him that much.
#I’m just rambling#sorry if it’s obvious from the get-go#but I just realized the whole Baby+marriage and Peeta is Katniss dragging her issues with Gale into her relationship with Peeta 🤣#I don’t want to be mean#but Katniss does not give a shit about Gale being a father#she’s all like- yeah go find a partner#but I still want my hunting buddy#but Peeta???#he should be a father (says nothing about finding another woman) and his baby deserves safety#she also doesn’t mention jealous with Peeta#but does with Gale (I wouldn’t be jealous. but me hunting partner…)#which yeah#she plans on dying#but she also blocks out the topic of another woman completely#because I think it would make her sad/jealous#everlark#katniss everdeen#peeta mellark#thg#the hunger games#not tagging Gale lmao

drank too much
[ID: Digital Art of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. Vash’s body is turned slightly away from the viewer as he holds a staggering Wolfwood by his shoulder. He has one foot ahead of the other, the foot in the back used to stabilize himself from tipping over. Wolfwood is tethering into Vash, his weight pressed into him with his arms wrapped around Vash’s waist and his face is hidden away as he leans against Vash’s shoulder. Vash’s expression can be seen, his eyes wide and mouth tight-lipped, and his face is flushed red. A speech bubble comes out from Wolfwood, saying a drawled “Spikeyyy...”. The background are desaturated pastels of blue and green, showing night time, as they stand in the middle of an empty street that is also lit by the moon not depicted. Yellow light is seen coming from the inside of a saloon. End ID]
#vashwood#Vash the Stampede#nicholas d wolfwood#trigun#trigun maximum#when i think of who handles their alcohol best -- it's going to be vash naturally. considering his age but also his plant biology?#idk how his plant biology comes into things but it feels like it makes sense... and helps build his tolerance... also he's canonically#a bit of an alcoholic i think... one of his vices. and im sure ww drinks but his go-to comfort is through smoking not drinking#slight detour but the barkeeper was also like i'm the angel that provides drinks for these troubled souls. all i could think of is#a parallel from ww to vash... vash going thru this hell on his own during that point in the chapter and ww is the angel who will give him#his space and then also save him later. But anyway. that's a completely different topic. as a result of ww Not being much of a drinker#i feel like he'd be clingy... a LOT less verbal but more physically affectionate#i feel like he'd be able to speak as he normally does but when he wants to ask for something he'd just reduce it down to names#spikey needle noggin while tugging on vash's arm. vash explodes immediately#this is also very self indulgent if u cant tell.#i was just thinking that ww while sober is a hard cage to crack through no matter how close vw gets to one another.#while ww can end up being emotionally vulnerable -- has to at some point within their relationship -- he still just has tons of trouble#navigating his own personal wants.#ruporas art

desmond & friends modern day assassin sequences…..I miss you……..
#specifying ‘and friends’ because I hate William Miles with my whole heart and he is not included in this sentiment#anyway vaguely this is nyc so the cops are probably wasting taxpayer money by fucking around in the subway#komiks tag#assassins creed#shaun hastings#desmond miles#this is almostttttttttttt shaundes#but I didn’t continue the dialogue far enough to make it really flirty. There’s a hint of flirting happening.#someday I’ll have to actually do a longer form fan comic to land my favorite ship AND my favorite narrative elements in the same#go (the horror and dialogues on free will and what we owe each other past/present/future & also what failure means AND-)#this ties into my second favorite relationship dynamic: clay and desmond. obvious. clay might live in my head rent free a little more than#Desmond does because that end of game reveal in AC1 is a top 10 games experience to me and I think about it all the time#ANYWAY IM OFF TOPIC NOW. desmond picks up snacks at a bodega on his way back

How would an oc and their love interest find little moments for themselves on a crowded pirate ship? I recently read the men share their sleeping quarters and the women do to (Oda said so), so where would they actually be alone with theit significant other?
Hi! Oh boy, the privacy problem...
I'd say it really depends on what ship we're on. On some ships, some people might have their on work spaces or even their own rooms and be able to have some time for themselves there. Mostly, there would be shared sleeping quarters though, so having your own room would be rare. This is all assuming that your OC and their significant other weren't already together when the ship was being built and that they had no say in how the ship would be built, because otherwise they probably could have requested a room for themselves.
So, work spaces! If your OC or their love interest is a doctor, Sick Bay might be an option! A cartographer might have their own room to be able to work in peace, so that could be an option. Same goes for journallers and the like. Depending on the layout of the ship, perhaps the kitchen or pantry? There might be a carpenter's/shipwright's workshop that's closed off?
Generally though - and this also applies to the Going Merry, the small ship that it is - my best suggestions would be supply closets and storage areas. In any case, door locks are your best friend. Maybe a crow's nest could also do the trick.
In any case, you'll probably have better chances at nighttime, because most people will be asleep! Your OC and their significant other could do the night watch together. Or you wait until the ship docks somewhere and everyone else is out exploring the town.
Hope this helped!

"I really enjoy hearing what's going on in your life. Like, I really appreciate the fact that, for ten years, you know, I've been writing songs about my life and sharing them with you. And now you feel comfortable sharing your life with me, too. I'm really happy about it, so thank you! So when I read your letters or your messages or your comments, or... you know, things that you write to me, it um... it makes me happy, or it makes me think. A lot of the time it makes me think because you'll tell me what's going on with you, like um, what's going on with you and your friends, or um, what's going on with your love life, and more often than not, I get asked questions about like, 'What should I do in this relationship scenario?' Which, I feel like is probably because I've had a tendency to write songs about relationship-based things. Occasionally. Occasionally I have done that. And so, you know, a lot of the time, most recently, I get, you know, letters or... you'll say this to me in person, or comments, and most of the time, I feel like what most people are dealing with in their love lives is just the complicated nature of how, you know, you text someone and then they don't text you back for two hours and what does that mean? And then you feel like you're getting mixed signals and like, they followed you on Instagram, but does that mean that they like you? And then... but they also liked this other girl's picture, so what does that mean? But then they liked your selfie last week, so what's that? Um... or, you're with someone and you want to be with them and you know that they're into you, but they haven't committed or defined the relationship and you're like, 'I don't want to ask the question, but what's going on here?' Has that ever happened to anyone here? So here's the thing. I have no idea how to fix any of these issues but I will tell you that I think you're amazing and I think that you deserve to be committed to and I think that you deserve for someone to be sure that they want to be with you. That's all I'm going to say. Just my opinion. I don't really like grey areas. I don't really like when people say 'I don't know', when it's a basic yes or no question. Do you want to be with me? Yes or no is the answer. And I tend to think that, you know, relationships are much less complicated than we make them if we simplify it to two basic options. Would you like to hear the two basic options, Boston? Okay. I think that your two real decisions and your two real options in a relationship are: you either leave or stay."

Hey, I’m new to Tumblr, but I’ve seen your characters around the internet and I love them so much!! Everyone has so much love for Machete and Vasco and your art is so cool to see! Do you have any tips for an aspiring artist and creative writer?
Hi! Welcome to tumblr! I'm glad to hear you like my dogs :]
I'm not really a writer, and I also completely lose my confidence when I'm trying to explain my art processes. So this is probably an obvious, unhelpful platitude at best, but one thing I've realized is that you should allow yourself to be self-indulgent. If you're the primary target audience of your own work, it generates passion and keeps you inspired and motivated. I like to believe that people who see your creations are more likely to respond to them positively if they can sense that you're putting your heart and soul to them.
#if you have any special interests that you're really knowledgeable about you can try including them in your art/writing somehow#even if it seems kind of an odd match they may merge into an interesting and potentially unique combination#like this Vaschete era I'm going through is a product of lifelong interest in animals history art and religion#just jamming all of my favorite topics and themes in there#be forgiving to yourself when things fon't work out as smoothly as you had hoped#and try to cultivate a positive relationship with the creative process and end results#meaning if you have a habit of putting yourself down and saying your art/writing sucks#try not to do that#it can lead you to resent the whole hobby and stifle your potential#I dunno this probably comes across so vague and nebulous#answered#sagepuca#tldr: be excited about whatever you create#make art/stories that you yourself would look at and think 'this is the coolest thing it's like it was tailored just for me'#also like I'm just some guy you don't have to take my advice these are just some things that have helped me personally#your experience and approach might be different
