#what’s up with being 27….

[deoidesign]

For my birthday... read my webcomic! It's literally free! (Unless you want books. Those are not free)

It's beautiful, it's gentle, it's funny, they're canonically t4t and gay... And it's about time traveling vampires solving supernatural mysteries!

I've spent thousands of hours writing and drawing it, and it's really good! I'm not biased!

It's on hiatus right now and coming back in 2 months, so it's the perfect time to get caught up

(ID: Kirby series fanart of Traitor Magolor magically manipulating a lines of plushies(?) modeled after Kirby, Bandee, King Dedede, and Meta Knight. He smiles behind his scarf, resting his head casually on one hand while puppeting his new toys around with the other, the Crown atop his head watching the spectacle with its unnerving gemstone eye. END ID.)

Phaselock autism got me caring about a character who didnt even get any screentime so yk what i vibe w/ you *shows you my Siren queen Dido design hc I drew literally a few hours ago in class*

*If you dont understand the lil thing at the bottom its okay, it aint very clear. Basically it’s just ghost dido (left) being mad at Sophis (middle) for spitting absolute bullshit to kid Maya (right)

Along with my phaselock timeline hot takes right below the cut

- i do not believe it was Dido who led the people of Athenas to the peaceful planet. Im convinced it was done far longer ago by the first siren queen, Deidre (the fact that her name ressembles Dido’s is purely a coincidence). Deidre had a single daughter and gave her her powers along with the throne upon her death

- For a long time, the siren monarchy was kept standing with siren monarchs passing on their powers to their child

- The order of the impending storm was actually put in place by one of the queens. They were basically her “royal police” (she was just a meanass queen who put them in place to do the dirty work for her)

- Dido, the last siren queen, was unlike the others, for she never had a child. She was a righteous queen who valued the needs of the people above anything else. Unfortunately, the order didnt like that and she was eventually poisoned. Waiting for this opportunity for a while, the order then stepped up as the “righteous rulers of the planet”

- Then, in hope to find Dido’s successor with the siren powers, they searched all across the planet, but eventually, a simple man who lived on a farm with his wife came to them himself with an infant bearing the blue tatoos the order was looking for. That’s right, it was Maya.

Her father gave her to the order in the hope to keep her safe. Unfortunately, he didnt live to know if that was true or not, as he was killed after.

Then follows her backstory as we know it

That’s all folks!!

Crocodile having such an explosive debut in his early 20s and such deep trust issues could also point to him having an even EARLIER start a la Shanks as an apprentice or something to an older pirate and their crew as a child/teenager — doubling down on the humiliation factor from facing off whitebeard as also a failure to “come of age” and broader sense of betrayal in watching eager encouragement fickly turn to “what did you THINK would happen”s like the kid who gets egged on by their peers into doing something dangerous and then immediately abandoned when they hurt themselves

Can't say if he did have like an early start for sure, since we really don't know anything about Crocodile's early childhood

But simply considdering how Oda typically layers backstories, I absolutely agree, I do think it's more than likely he has somekind of pre-Whitebeard trauma, be it either unrelated childhood trauma or early-pirating-life trauma (or something else)

Like the way Oda structures backstories, although we always remember like The Big Life-Changing Tragedy that happens at the end of the flashback, more often than not the flashback already begins with something horrible to indicate the character's already had a rough life

Robin was already alone, abused and rejected by most of Ohara even before the Buster Call Incident (followed by a life of running in fear for decades)

Franky had already been abandoned by his family before he lost Tom and got ran over by a train

Law had already lost his entire family before Doffy killed Rosi

Etc etc. Like not all the flashbacks are entirely like this, especially the East Blue-saga ones, but the backstories have been growing in complexity and structure, adding layers to the tragedies (like 🧅 onions 🧅) as the story has gone on

And with Kuma, his backstory doesn't end at two layers of tragedy. Like there's the early childhood tragedy of slavery, then there's the tragedy of losing his loved one in the most cruel, inhumane way possible, and we know there's at least one more gut-punch of a tragedy coming in the next two chapters to finish it all off

So with Crocodile especially I feel like... Like yes, possibly getting betrayed once in his life and having his dreams crushed by Whitebeard could break the man's psyche. But considdering just how seemingly broken his psyche might be, I do absolutely believe there's more layers here. Like his trust must've been broken more than once for him to end up the way he has.

Which alone gives Crocodad a bit more plausibility in my mind, because being rejected by the person you loved and trusted the most would most certainly break your heart (even if it was understandable why). And that really would make for a fine Final Nail on the Coffin for Crocodile's ability to have faith in others

But to really get that broken trust to be an on-going theme in his life that just happens again and again.... yeah it needs to start earlier

Personally, I think some kind of early childhood trauma would make the most sense, at least to me, not just because it could help Crocodile get started "on the wrong foot", but also because Rough Childhoods is just. A General Theme in One Piece lmao. Of course, it wouldn't be The Key Life-Changing Tragedy (I think Dragon would be that), just a "bad start"

this is so funny to me actually bcuz this is 100% how i talk abt my characters ages. i know what YEAR they were born and i know what rheir ages are supposed to be at the start of the story but i dont actually know when it takes place?? im really bad at math. There was a moment where rainbow was supposed to be 23 and i somehow accidentally made her 17 lmfao

I think some people do need to experience life upending trauma actually I think it would make them act like adults and not do stupid shit
