the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself

you know how every so often you see posts circulating about a prophesized guy that runs away from the prophecy? that’s monkey d luffy

he isn’t even acknowledging it could be him. as far as he cares, all that’s really at hand here is that his peak form looks like this god guy. that’s it though. luffy’s not a god so like? really cool you guys are religious and bless your faith but that’s not him

and not to be the guy that says “that’s what makes him a good chosen one” because yeah kinda? like let’s look at existing prophecies about luffy specifically. the one about him destroying fishman island

luffy will leave that country in fire and ash and im doing so we know he is fulfilling some of the interpretations of the religious text: the destroyer who lays waste to all

and now i am heading into fanon spaces, people predict the destroying is a side effect of his liberation. ever since the prophecy of luffy destroying fishman island has been made, the fandom has theorized he will lift the people of fishman island above water. the great big ship in fishman island is there for a reason. and again, in doing so, he is fulfilling those theorized about him again, about the whole “the hero who appeared to save the world from disaster.”

i think the texts about nika is befitting of a god. what does a god care about the temporary destruction of a land if it is a means to achieving their goal of saving and liberating a people. a god knows people are resilient. a god will see through their vision and wont mind being branded as evil for doing so. a god knows best

and not to say luffy is a god because i am of the firm camp that luffy isnt nika reincarnated but he is the chosen one as in it has been prophesized someone like him would come and he is here and he isnt joyboy reincarnated either, as in the guy who is joyboy, but also again, he (luffy) is the chosen one for joy boy as well (i particularly subscribe to saiga tiberius runner on tiktok who theorizes that joyboy is a title rather than a name and is therefore one that is bestowed upon luffy as the liberator. which i think fits the whole someone will come 800 years later that will take the world by storm and his laughter will ring as he saves people. i like “joyboy” being a title more than a guy that luffy is reincarnated into)

anyway luffy being joyboy makes me happy because he does it because he wants to. he is kind because he wants to because someone fed him and he needs to be kind to them and he doesnt care if in being kind to them he is disrupting everything else (thinking about dressrosa right now) because nothing is more important to him than the selfish need to repay the debt

i may be repeating myself now but i adore luffy being exactly what is prophesized of him not because of a prophecy but because of who he is as a person down to his soul. because luffy isnt doing this because this was what was prophecised, he would be doing this regardless of set into motion 800 years ago, he would be doing this anyway because he wants to

regardless of a prophecy, luffy will be liberating because thats who he is. a boy that loves freedom and being free

luffy is freedom and liberation. and to him, its just a coincidence this god nika and this guy joyboy was too

The grim reaper was initially illustrated as doing a mundane, regular job that everyone has seen done - a reaper swings his scythe and the hay falls, just as easy as people fall as death swings. Now many people who have never been to a farm only know the scythe as the weapon of Death personified, and farmers in most places of the world don't even use them anymore.

Imagine Death personified as someone doing a modern regular, mundane job. Imagine thinking "hoo boy, this is it for me. The Grim Bin Man is coming to collect, hauling my sorry soul into the trash compactor of his great eternal garbage truck."

The three sillies taking over my mind.

So…yeah.

[thunderstrike64]

everyone say thank you to anya mouthwashing for getting me to finish something for once

[thunderstrike64]

My mind has been running amok these past couple months w/ favorite characters, which hasn’t helped when I listen to any of Uta’s songs or watch that 2 hour long analysis video about King Candy, but it all culminated in this dumb sketch to be made so I’m not really mad about it.

(I’m having so much fun y’all don’t even know-)

So…yeah.

It’s gonna take me forever but I want to post a lot of the old kc drawings I’ve made

Once again, 2024 sketches. This was when he was announced for Speedstorm. I was very Normal and Regular about it, as you can see

[thunderstrike64]

King Candy megapost. Some of the shtuff I made from early 2024

I love Dr. Habit. Gotta be one of my favorite genders.

Anyway playing Great God Grove got me thinking about Smile for Me and how much this game changed both my art style and my brain chemistry. And GGG is currently in the process of doing it again. Y’all will definitely get fanart for that once I finish it (no spoilers please)

heck this game inspired me to make my own puppet of my sona
