Indulging #for the longest time i debated on whether to post this comic at all on my socials - for some reason this was almost the limit to how far i #could push a romantic alternative that cusps ooc-ness for vw but then i ultimately decided its Fine. i couldv made it much more unbearable. #someone on twit qrt this with “vash is such a loser” which means i havent lost my way completely yet so its ok #(sidenote) script is a bit old !! bc this was meant to be a part two to an old comic..! the first kiss comic from feb #it branched off quite a bit that listing this as an actual part two would be kind of awkward now - but that was the initial intention #anyway. please enjoy! #long post

i feel like. theres designing a character with certain themes and motifs in mind, and then theres making a gijinka for the water bottle on my nightstand

#me when im the only person on the bus wearing a mask: i should make a furry plaguesona #its hard to explain bc. most of the time i try NOT to give my characters a 'strong' theme like making their whole design around #one thing like apples or even broad stuff like baking or cottagecore.. idk if its partly for flexibility or because i cant imagine them #making it their whole personality. not bc i find it cringe or overblown but more like ive learned to associate design with character depth #i had a cutesy uwu persona for most of highschool because i thought it would make me more. likeable? easy to remember? since #memorable character designs are easy to recognize. and one way of doing that is simplifying it with a theme or symbol so you form an #association. but since im a real person its exhausting keeping up that appearance all the time and denying myself things when they dont #fit my 'aesthetic' or 'theme.' i think ive grown past that bc i just collect stuff because i think it looks cool and dont let myself dwell #on how it might 'fit' with my image. but i cant help feeling bad doing it to my own characters bc it feels like im making them too one #dimensional. despite knowing that theyre not real and design alone doesnt reflect depth i cant help feeling like its wrong #despite that i love seeing motifs because it feels like it reflects the characters soul and paradoxically gives them depth. it makes them #interesting to look at too and honestly its pretty fun combining things that fall under a similar category when designing #i struggle find a balance between those two things #actually this reminds me of noelles christmas theme.. i dont remember her saying anything abt liking christmas despite a lot of #her design and character tying back to it. it makes me wonder if she would have feelings about that or doesnt think abt it too hard #or if its like a matching family shirts situation and shes just going along with it?? #maybe i should just do whatever i want with my character designs since theyre not real and im thinking abt it too hard #although. this probably has something to do with deep seated identity issues huh #yapping #oc talk #oc

Seen people share their headcanons of what would Luffy call Crocodile if Crocodad was Real, and it did get me wondering

Like on one hand, Luffy has a perfect track-record with respecting trans people and not misgendering anyone, so if Crocodad Real, Luffy wouldn't misgender him

But also, Luffy has two braincells, and having two people to call "dad" would probably be confusing for him. And Luffy doesn't seem like the type of guy who'd either of his parents "Father" either. Canonically Luffy tends to use more affectionate terms for his family, including Dragon despite never having ever met him ("tou-chan", "ji-chan" for Garp, "nii-chan" for Ace. Note the lack of the polite "o" at the begining, and the use of "chan" instead of "san". The take-away here is that he's basically being a bit familiar and kind of affectionate)

And let us not forget, how Luffy loves giving nicknames to people

So it would be perfectly on-brand for Luffy to come up with a new nickname for Crocodile, if only to help differentiate The Dads

(Like yes, Luffy does technically have a nickname for Crocodile already ("wani", lit. "crocodile"), but it's not really an affectionate nickname (or a particularly disrespectful one either, kind of neutral (though calling someone you're not friends with by a nickname is kind of rude)). And while Luffy can and does drop the funny nicknames for people if he decides he likes them enough (see Hammock turning into Hancock, or Luffy learning Bonney's name and using it because he felt bad for her), if Luffy did learn about Crocodile being his other dad and wanted to treat him as such (which he also might not, to be fair)... yeah he could come up with a new nickname)

Now the question just is... what kind of a nickname would Luffy then come up with?

And because I'm a fucking loser with a passion for translation and localization, I'm almost specifically interested in what kind of a nickname Luffy would come up with in Japanese. And partially because, depending on the nickname, it could just be the exact same nickname in English too. Like Luffy's "Yama-o" got localized as "Yamabro" because the "o" (written as 男, lit. "man") needed to be translated and localized for the nickname to hit the same in English. Same for shit like "split head" for Foxy or "giant shallot" for Moria, or "wani" getting localized as "gator" because Luffy calling Crocodile a "crocodile" as a nickname would not make any sense in English lmao

So... a cute nickname that makes it easy for Luffy to call Crocodile his "dad" without it getting confusing with calling Dragon "dad". Maybe something that ties to his name already and preferably rolls off the tongue easily in Japanese... Like we have our Crocodads and Dadodiles but these nicknames are based in English, so they don't roll off the tongue nicely -> Can't imagine Luffy saying either. But... I think the fans are onto something there... There must be a variation of this nickname that would work well in Japanese...

Papadile.

I could see Luffy coming up with a nickname like that. It would roll off the tongue pretty easily. The only counter argument against it I can think of would be that Luffy does not seem like the kind of guy who would call anyone "papa". Like that word does not fit in his mouth.

...Anything else?

Well. I guess there is the third, forbidden option of Luffy calling him "oyaji" ("pops"), much like Whitebeard's crew called their captain too.

But that just leads us to an interesting thought; what the fuck would Crocodile prefer Luffy call him?

I mean this is Sir "Call me what you will" Crocodile, who generally does not seem to care that much about what people call him. Like we could take that and just assume Crocodile would not give a fuck about what Luffy called him, but it's also possible this could be like The One Exception to The Rule. And there's many potential reasons why too

Like there's the practical side of things where it could be a pain in Crocodile's ass if the world found out the two were related, because it'd mean anything bad happening to either one could be used against the other. Someone targetting Luffy could be then used intentionally to target Crocodile and viceversa. As Dragon said, a child is a parent's weak spot after all. So it could still be in Crocodile's self-interest to keep their blood relation a secret. But also; Crocodile had to leave his child behind. Much like how Olvia felt like she had no right to call herself Robin's mom, it'd make sense to me if Crocodile felt kind of the same. That regardless of their blood connection, he had no right to call himself Luffy's father, let alone deserve to be called that after what he'd done to Luffy.

So maybe Crocodile would prefer to be just called by his name. Maybe he'd be satisfied with that. Perhaps being called "pops" would lowkey annoy the shit out of him because it would just remind him of That Asshole Who Took His Hand and beat his ass. Which, y'know, fair. Perhaps "Papadile" would be just a bit too ridiculous and cutesy for him tolerate. And perhaps Luffy calling him "dad" (or "father", or any variation of it) would be a lot more emotionally compromising to Crocodile than he'd like to admit, especially if he believed he would never be called that

But knowing Luffy, if he knows being called "dad" made Crocodile happy (even if he didn't want to admit it), and if Luffy did decide he liked Crocodile/accepted him as his other dad... He'd probably keep on calling Crocodile some variation of "dad", even if he insisted that "Crocodile was fine"

Also worth noting that according to this SBS, if Croc did raise a child that child would use 父上 ("chichiue"), which is quite a formal way to call someone Father

So that would be Crocodile's canon preferred term but god knows there'd be no way in hell he'd be able to convince Luffy to call him that, shit's way too formal for Luffy

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Sir Crocodile #Crocodad #I think the most likely thing would be Luffy calling Dragon the cutesy ''tou-chan'' and Crocodile ''otou-san'' #It would be more formal than Luffy normal would use but I do feel like Crocodile would veto ''oyaji'' if Luffy tried that #Also considdering the two's relationship so far I think Luffy could try to be SLIGHTLY more formal with Croc than with Dragon #Like they did try to kill each other. Perhaps Croc hasn't earned the -chan from Luffy y'know lmao #But if Luffy wanted to specifically come up with a new **nickname** then Papadile seems the most likely #Regardless I do feel like Papadile would be what like what the Strawhats could start calling Crocodile though lmao #(Namely Nami Sanji and Usopp) (They're not immune to using nicknames for comedic effect) (And let's be real it'd be funny) #(I'd say Robin wouldn't call him that but you know if she wanted to tease him while knowing he can't really stop her. Go off queen) #(Jinbei would just call him by his name though still I'm sure) (Zoro Franky and Brook could go either way)

Willow calls Hunter honeybird it's important to me that you consider this

#willow calls him so many things. i have a list of my favourites #if hes gonna have the audacity to be named Hunter hes getting called Hun regularly #and that evolves into honey #and then honeybird #she likes to use honeysuckle too #she calls him after a bunch of flowers #''my rose'' is her fave flower themed nickname tho #also ''mushroom <3'' because it is so dumb #some more she likes are babe #prettyboy #hottie #hottstuff #brown eyes #gorgeous #lovebug #princess <333 #the reason she uses them so frequently?? he likes them. so she goes a little overboard #hunter doesnt really have as many names for her at all. but listen to me. its the WAY he says it #he says the name Willow with the same tone of voice of somebody using a cutesy nickname #she LOVES it #he calls her captain sometimes when hes flirting with her #the ONLY actual petname he has for her is ''my love'' #just cuz i think it sounds SO old fashioned and traditional. he picked it up from an old romance movie and he was like #''thats it. thats the one.'' #its honest. its to the point. it makes his feelings perfectly clear. he likes it #oh i forgot. Willow also calls him O'Bailey sometimes. he goes crazy for that

from what I can gather from your hcs, Peppino is immune to Gustavo's gnome charms. But the MOMENT that little man does something casually cute? Pep's exploding

I am giving poor Gus a bad rep 😭 i am tempted to make an actual post about it so i can put my ramblings under a readmore lmao

He is first and foremost very earnest and very sweet! He is not an opportunist trying to swindle money out of people😭 hes just really small and really cute and he learned that they get better combined tips on days when hes manning the counter 😭 So the little cutesy face is Less about him trying to con people out of things they want, and more like him playing around bc hes like ‘this little face gets us sooooo much money; its clearly bc of my Charm 🥺✨ ’ even tho he knows it wouldnt work on pep 😭

With that said, Gus being like passively cute works on Peppino bc hes just enamored with everything Gus does ☺️ yes even the playfulness of trying to pretend to con Pep is enamoring💖 he is sweet and silly and playful and whimsical and a rlly good and helpful little buddy n friend

#answered #pepstavo #/// #//// #///// #peppino #gustavo #it is quite literally a couple just being silly #peppino is stubborn as a bull; he KNOWS he cannot just bat his lashes and get what he wants #so hes like 😏 are u SURE ur sure this wont work on you ✨🥺✨’ #and the answer is yes but they both know that and it adds to the fun #also suggestive in the next tags -> #but the reason why the cutesy charm doesnt work is bc flirting is OVERWHELMINGLY more effective than just using pubby dog eyes #like gus learned that SO fast it is INCREDIBLY easy to get him to do anything if u fluster him enough #the problem is that he gets a bit too hot n bothered and he cant think or focus properly #so gus just doesnt do it 😭 bc trying to weaponize flirting; esp at work just makes it so that pep just does nothing the whole day #but its like way more useful outside of work #peppino is a bit of a sucker and a yesman for this litte gnome 💖

i think i should be given $10k minimum in compensation every time i have to see some “narcissistic abuse” bullshit or some ableist cunt rambling when im just trying to find npd posts to relate to. and i should be allowed to kill people too.

#actually narcissistic #npd safe #like the fact that an/ti n/pd is a tag that exists. that people use #how can you not see that as comically evil. being ‘anti’ a fucking DISORDER….. #i did not choose to have this! it is against my will! #also the fact that ‘narcissistic abuse’ and shit like that are just as #if not more #popular tags as the ones for people with npd. #also so many narcissistic abuse truthers have ~uwu aesthetic~ blogs #which doesnt surprise me at all because people who post only pink cutesy stuff are usually some of the most vile in very specific ways

YOUR ASS HURT. DONE.

This is my island, Starfall!!!!! I had vague but elaborate lore for it and the residents, some sort of mystical enchanted forest town that's home to some strange guys (a mermaid on land, a vampire, an alien..... two random old OCs of mine LMFAOOO and MEEEEEE 💖)

These are only snippets of Starfall, so I recommend visiting if you're interested! Plus I. Worked hard on it and am still proud of some of my builds 🫣 It was never Finished finished, but also it's at a point where I don't wanna do anything else but nuke it 😅

Dream Address is DA-9640-4620-8466 like it says on the tin!!! 🤗

#animal crossing new horizons #acnh #PLEASE VISIT i even set out some items. which isn't much but it is very enriching when visiting dreams LMFAO #i probably won't be nuking it immediately i may wanna take more pics esp of my ocs #and also that. took so much time. that's the problem w ac LMFAO sometimes it's more of a chore 😓 #ALSO I NEED TO NUKE THIS SO BAD. it was DEF made in my v early parts of transition #where i was heavy into still being a cutesy 'girly' soft boy and. AUGHHHH I NEED TO KILL HIM #NOT REALLY. BUT STILL. like i still think it's true but i'm NOT soft anymore. i'm punk. i'm PUNK #i couldn't even deck out my guy in fully edgier attired cause that's the vampire's gimmick. cute but sharp. #espppp in the start i think my guy's gimmick was pretty boy princely still v femme/cutesy #which is FINE. but god. I'M EVIL NOW‼️‼️‼️ I'M SUPER EVIL NOW‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ #when i start over my guy's whole thing is he's gonna be a fucking weirdo freak. idk how i'll communicate that #through props/dress alone but i'll fucking find a way #tbh i feel like a fun new theme could be a playfully spooky island..... like starfall has hints of this #but i think i can go further. lean way into it. #ANYWAYS IF YOU VISIT. TELL ME!!!!!!!!! if you want 😇 #dream address #idk. if there's a proper tag for it.

i have so very many thoughts about PB that i can't put them all into words. she's so complicated ... so interesting ... so multifaceted ... like damn the PB misunderstanders are really missing out

#princess bubblegum #adventure time #this could be another post tbh but putting this here -> #a lot of people reduce PB to either “cutesy pink sunshine uwu nerd” or “evil villian mastermind who doesn't care about anyone but herself” #and both of those are ..... so so so very wrong #the first one is usually people dumbing her down to make her & marcy fit into some boring nerd/punk stereotype #(I'M SORRY BUT IT'S TRUE OK) #pb is a nerd and she is pink but she's a whole lot more than that #like damn if you want a one dimensional priss . prince gumball is right there #SORRY SORRY SORRY DON'T KILL ME I JUST. prince gumball is so boring im sorry #AND THE SECOND WAY PEOPLE MISINTERPRET HER.... the ''pb is the TRUE villian'' people... don't get me started on that oughhh #im sorry but if you can't comprehend moral grayness/ambiguity PB is not for you. leave her alone.
