hi so so sorry if this sounds genuinely deranged but I need to know did you write a fanfiction in like 2014 that was set during ww2 where zoro from one piece was sent to a japanese internment camp and sanji went to conversion therapy I remembered it recently because it blew my mind at age 13 and I had to reread it + need a kind of where are they now with the author so if that's you 1) what's your stance on the fic today 2) how much of the research was done during writing and how much did you just know beforehand and used as inspo 3) did you have any ideas for where the other characters ended up because I did always wonder if like idk chopper overcame the trauma of being in the war and also just what usopp's situation would be in general what with the political climate. once again. if you didn't actually write this fic so sorry this must look like the ravings of a crazy person. godspeed
Hi. Uh, yeah I did write that fic. I would have been like only 17 at the time. I did do A LOT of research, like the fic was basically an excuse for me to research Japanese internment and WWII history in general bc I thought it was super fucked up. I was absolutely hyperfixated on the topic and my parents probably thought i was nuts for my ability to talk at length on this particular area of history. I just finished skim reading back through the fic and woof. What a bleak fucking story. I was very cruel to everyone. It's frustrating bc I think it's an interesting and compelling idea for a story. But to me it feels like: here is all the research I did and also characters talking in what feels like a too modern way. Plus, I was 17 and didnt understand people very well. I wish I had the energy and motivation to rewrite it. Although, I forgot I used to do song lyrics at the start of each chapter and the tonal dissonance of Owl City lyrics at the top of a chapter of harrowing events around the time of WWII is unfathomablly unhinged.

There has to be some sort of subliminal messaging or universal omens thing going on or SOMETHING because last night I had ANOTHER dream about smoking and I just now found an entire box of new cigarettes outside my house. They're the expensive ones too
Last night I had a dream that I went to the store and got a huge thing of cigarettes and I smoked the entire thing and I got addicted and kept going back to this store to get more and then I went on a hunting trip and spared a bunch of albino deer because I wanted to know if there was a chance they'd survive. But I did kill a bunch of deer that were like rusty red but for some reason I thought of it as like mercy killing because they'd never survive and it was better than me letting them suffer

Okay, so. I'm ALL for not spreading, you know, deadly fucking disease to your fellow human beings, but WHAT is it with people, like, pretending to not understand the mere concept of a common cold anymore??
I keep being made an unwilling participant in a discussion that goes as follows:
"Hm, I have a cough and a sore throat."
"Oh dear."
"But I keep testing for Covid every day before coming into work."
"That's the responsible thing to do."
"The tests keep coming back negative."
"That's good to hear. Let's hope it stays that way."
Now normally, this would be the end of this extremely awkward sickness-smalltalk that I don't actually wanna know anything about. But no. Then they suddenly double down.
"I don't trust the tests."
"Well, I trust you to have done the tests in the correct manner, so if they keep coming back negative I would assume you don't have Covid."
"But I have a cough and a sore throat."
"Yes, I mean, it could just be a common cold. Those still exist."
"But I've been like this for a week now."
"Colds are like that."
"But also my head hurts a bit."
"Colds do that, too."
"But also I feel kind of tired and ill."
"Yes, that's... Look, I'm sure that before Covid you've had a cold at some point, too?"
"But I don't trust the tests."
AND THEN IT JUST GOES ON LIKE THIS.
WHAT IS BEING EXPECTED OF ME HERE.
;_;
I don't want to invalidate people feeling worried and then I usually say, look, if the ONE blob of nose slime that contains like three little particles for the test to come back positive on, is hidden SO deep within your nasal cavities you can't get it on your swab no matter how hard you poke around there, then even if you HAD Covid - which you don't - I think it's unlikely there'd be enough of the virus in that other little blob of nose slime over there you could possibly fling into the air IF you coughed wetly on the next person without covering your mouth.
Like?? Is this a new kind of social ritual I don't understand??? Are we signaling our place in the "We are mindful of the pandemic" hierarchy by??? Insisting our runny nose must be from Covid and we just cannot detect it AND ALSO IF YOU'RE SO WORRIED THAN WHY ARE YOU AT WORK WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT WHY DO I HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT
???
I don't wanna have this discussion anymore, I don't know what to say other than "In this case the evidence points to: common cold."
What is the purpose of this discussion, what answer do they want, what am I supposed to provide them. ;_; Please. You probably have a cold. If you feel so shitty that you have to constantly let me know, than maybe you should go get sick leave from your doctor, why are you telling ME, why do you believe that there's no other respiratory infections besides Covid anymore, WHAT DO YOU WANT, and also WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE *ME* YOUR DISGUSTING-ASS COLD SOB
I'm sorry for ranting, but this keeps happening and I'm TIRED. If you're really, truly worried you are infectious with a nasty disease, then stay the fuck home. And if you're not. Then WHY. Are we having this stupid discussion.
;_;

I SEE THAG U LIKE CIGS.. how was ur first cigarette how did it feel, i might try my first cigarette ever so could u share some tips with hiding the smell?
WOOOO IT WAS DEFINITELY SCARY.
especially because i did it behind my mother’s back and i knew that if by any chance i ever get caught i would be doomed <\3
The first puff from a cigarette was definitely hard, coughing everywhere until your eyes get teary n shit...but then after a couple more puffs like two or three i got the hang of it and it was pretty easy if you ask me, very smooth but risky process.
TIPS THAT I USED; okay so first off i purchased a bunch of mint gum, mentos, and a bunch of mint type breath removing stuff, AND THIS IS IMPORTANT scented perfume or cologne THE SMELL SHOULD BE VERY STRONG AND STICKS ON YOU FOR SO LONG. IT SHOULD BE A KIND OF A COMMON SMELL like vanilla or strawberry but anything that has a strong smell works as well.
extra: showering after smoking is also very helpful to remove the smell especially since the smell sticks on your hair as well, so if anyone got very close to you they MAY be able to smell cigarettes from your hair, so just to be extra careful, shower. Also brush your teeth!!! this should be very obvious but you know being extra careful is always helpful.
ALSO IF BY ABY CHANCE THE SMELL STILL STUCK ON YOU AND SOMEONE QUESTIONED YOU ABOUT, you could always bring up excuses like; “we passed by a bunch of smokers on the way” “my friends parents smokes (you can always add on this excuse like they smoked a whole pack)” ANY HALF-ASSED EXCUSE THAT U CAME UP WITH WOULD WORK, just don’t show that you’re nervous or anything, and don’t show signs that you’re hiding anything just be chill and calm while saying your excuse.
I HOPE THESE HELPS ANON<3
