TW // Food , EDs

Something about Usopp getting sent to an island where delicious food is used as bait and he has to actively fight to eat (thus probably ending up just straight-up not eating some days and relating food to negative experiences) and Sanji constantly using food to serve and make others enjoy but barely eating himself because it isn't as rewarding and he doesn't really care about his well-being because he is used to starving (both physically and emotionally).

Like-- Usopp not really refusing to eat but kind of having a defense mechanism/odd quirks around it (eating too fast, keeping food for later, feeling safer if he straight up doesn't eat, or directly not being hungry at all) and Sanji actively just forgetting to feed himself and when he tries to do so he isn't... Full? At all? or satisfied? It just leaves him emptier. He likes giving food to others, that's what completes him. Eating just because just feels wrong for him.

So you have this guy with strong defense mechanisms against food who treats it as a necessity to live instead of enjoyment and another who treats food as an enjoyment but ONLY for other people and never himself.

And I like to think Usopp, after spending so much time getting used to storing food just in case he can't go hunting for more, still does the same when he's back with the crew. But he doesn't even know why he does it exactly. He is eating. He doesn't need to do this. But then he realizes he always thinks about Sanji whenever he keeps food. Usopp notices Sanji barely eats if the food is something he gives to himself, but gladly enjoys it when it's somebody else's doing. So Usopp just waits until everybody is out of the kitchen to approach Sanji and go "Hey, um, would you like to share the leftovers with me?" and something like that. And Sanji does end up eating more than usual which is, you know, an average meal.

On the other hand, Sanji stays with Usopp while he eats and speaks to him. Makes him feel safe so he doesn't have to make everything quick and running. Make him see that he is alright and he can take his time to enjoy the food without any worries. At the end of the day, they end up eating together after the whole crew has gone away, but that's more than fine with them.

#they mean the world to me okay #as somebody who struggles with food these two characters are my beloveds i would do anything to see them happy and full and eating #usopp getting sent to an island full of food that probably will end up killing you is something that can be so sanuso coded and also #so fucked up. my boy :( we don't talk enough about this #i mean. we do talk a lot about this i've seen people doing it but we need to talk MORE #one day i'll talk about how sanji goes to an island where he finds himself running away from himself and he's afraid and anxious 24/7 #it's like they swapped places and i find that perfect #anyway the food thing-- i think they get better with time being together #after wci it gets... worse. but it's alright they work on it together #one piece #black leg sanji #usopp #sanuso #tw food #tw eating issues

“van helsing confidently declares they will leave in the morning but they can’t actually access transportation for another week” is like exactly the kind of Opportunity Created By The Text i would want a good dracula adaptation (period or modern, but i think the real key here is that a dracula adaptation can only hope to capture the specific charms of the novel if it’s TV not a movie) to explore. first of all, great opportunity to lean into the horror-comedy this hypothetical adaptation should be. second of all, amazing possibilities to consider if you end one episode with van helsing being like “we leave in the morning” and then pick up the next episode with quincey being like “uh sorry guys no trains are running / flights are sold out till next week.” and then you just get to spend a whole episode marinating in everyone’s deranged coping mechanisms, intricate rituals for touching the skin of other men, and death-proximity horniness. god. like WHERE is the showrunner that will be brave enough to bring this vision to life?

#this would be the…. perfect place for jack and quincey to fuck. just saying. #they hook up bc they are tired of hearing jonathan and mina through the walls going at it like the world is ending which it kind of is #dracula daily #has turned my brains into mashed potatoes i’m not gonna pretend it hasn’t

Something i don't really agree or get is fandom perspective of shadow being lame,cringe and bastard meow meow cus that's not really it either(surviving and trying to cope with the horrors? The coolest thing), more like a modern distorted loved notion of people, yeah is funny but also projected and kinda westernized(the inaccurated dub versions and dialogue), leaning away from the original cultural backgrourd that get's sleep on and puts a more nuanced perception of the games. Idk where im going with this but i don't get people popular perspectives idk sorry im a killjoy i just love the fucked up aspect of this silly franchise and it's characters(i wish it could get that deep again).

theres a lot of things that indicate shadow is a cringe little bastard from jp to eng, it’s like his whole. Thing. the fanon flanderization of shadow is crazy but the part where he’s a bastard is pretty blatant in canon

like, he’s genuinely cool and stuff, he has a lot of fantastic moments (if the world chooses to become my enemy i will fight as i always have, the entire somewhat ridiculous yet awesome finale of shadow the hedgehog, sa2’s ending literally cemented his popularity so hard he came back to life in heroes because people thought he was fucking awesome and compelling), but a big appeal is the fact that he’s also still a silly guy in a series full of whacky silly guys

the eng and jp dubs have their differences in tone in a lot of ways, and eng is not incredibly accurate bc of it, but shadow even in jp is still like. a loser (affectionate)—he’s constantly talking about how much better he is, he insists on showing his dominance over sonic (and others, but especially sonic) even when it doesnt fucking matter ala tsr, he constantly FULLY believes he is the most correct person in any and all situations, and that his actions are always the best way to go about it even if it’s reckless or sometimes unnecessary (the mow things in my way down solution)

he’s so earnest in everything he does, in his own special cringe little way, where he’ll say factually correct statements in a blunt manner, but also not quite … ? he’s very honest. he’s incredibly straightforward. every single comment he says, no matter how fucking absurd or edgy or funny, he truly means it. thats his APPEAL he says shit like “ive hit the ultimate jackpot!” and “this is like taking candy from a baby, which is fine by me!” and somehow also “no one else should experience the things ive gone through” and thats all FANTASTIC

i like this twitter thread and a lot of jib’s threads on shadow, bc they know a lot more about the jp side of things, but tldr: shadow is my funny little guy. my stupid little pogchamp. my cringe little bastard boy who is the coolest and also the lamest motherfucker ive ever witness. i’m going to dribble him like a basketball

#i think ur trying to separate the silly and the fucked up but the appeal to me and many people #is the fact that u have these silly ridiculous guys in fully serious fucked up situations #and THATS when theyre the most appealing (to me) #shadow the hedgehog (2005) wouldnt be NEARLY as appealing To Me if shadow wasnt also a silly guy #look at sonic in that goddamn game! hes ridiculous! hes like the best part bc hes goin around saying WOOHOO while shadow is having loke #the crisis of his LIFE here!!! thats so funny!!!!! #the basic building blocks of shadow are in place so that if u cared about him in sa2 #u will still care especially towards the semi hero and hero endings #but the weird shit in between. the silly nonsense sonic guys who tag along with him. his funny karate chop of the computer. idk #he’s cool but hes cringe. duality. the perfect character #speaking #long post #asks

[larabar]

never getting over how. melancholy im here sounds

the chords in the chorus sound a little more triumphant at first but it kinda just sounds like a half victory. the pain of the journey is still there, even at the end of it all. but its alright. i will be with you. im here

#yeah im listening to it again #i dont think any song has had this much of an impression on me. MAN #its a leitmotif too ! while its not all over the place it definitely plays when it matters #when sonics losing himself. when he comes right back. when the journey is nearly over. when it truly is #as well as. gh the strings in the song 'friends' in the final horizon ost #and in the final battle #man when the. the guitar ? synth ? starts playing in the intro for the revisited version of im here. its different in the perfect way #sounds corrupted. still the same just. theres something off #whether thats for supreme and its whole deal with the end #or sonic and his newfound power regarding the corruption. idk #but. augh once it comes to the part. the turning point. the breakdown #when sonic decides its all out or nothing #now or never #and it REALLY picks up. #i dont even know where im going with this anymore its just music and a game with a nice story #but its so good #i love you music ily #sth #sonic frontiers spoilers #frontiers dlc spoilers #rambles #its midnight .

[the-tortured-apollo-department]

Okay, three things about Paolo Montes that are VERY BRAZILIAN 🇧🇷

1- He knows english but only speaks portuguese: Our language is very rich in metaphors and sometimes expressing our feelings in english is not enough, ex: "Get the horse out of the rain", means "stop doing that"

Our list of swear words is more extensive too and also includes a lot of metaphors 😚 so for him and many others in this country it is uncomfortable to change

2- Good luck kiss: When Apollo goes to look for his children, Paolo gives him a good luck kiss on the cheek

Brazilians in general are very affectionate, especially those who live in the north of the country. Kisses and hugs are not just reserved for close friends but also the group you belong to

Paolo probably felt that he and Apollo were in the same group and began to be affectionately protective of him

3- Brazilian flags as a sign of luck 🇧🇷

This is very real especially when you are betting on something. Many here believe that the flag brings good things because it represents the country's riches: green from the Amazon, yellow from abundance, blue from the clear sky and waters, and white from peace

The flag has become unpopular recently because of right-wing parties wanting to take it as a symbol, but there are still many brazilians who use their flags as a symbol of luck and happiness 🇧🇷💕

#Paolo Montes my bro #I screamed when Apollo said that Olympus intended to move to Brazil in the future #Here is the perfect place for a sun god #I think Apollo would spend a lot of time on the beaches of the northeast #AND ARTEMIS COULD TAKE CARE OF THE AMAZON AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #I have to stop thinking about it #I might end up going crazy #hahahahaha and Poseidon would love Fernando de Noronha island 🥴 #Okay stop #trials of apollo #toa apollo #toa #paolo montes

its so fucked up how the get down wouldve been literally a perfect show if it wasnt for the last 20 fucking minutes of the last episode. the universe is full of endless cruelty

#they had a PERFECT FUCKING ENDING and then in the last 20 minutes they were like #hey what if we got rid of all the things the characters had been fighting for this whole time. #what if all of them ended up in the literal worst place for them #and then that end card with the bit about the first get down record being recorded with a band.... #like ik they cant change the actual history but. especially after the ending it just. feels like such a fuck you #GRRRRRRRR I HATE THIS SHOWWW IM SO MAD #bectxt #op #txt #the get down #tgd

[halcyone-of-the-sea]

I know you probably get asked this a lot, but do you have any tips on writing? Especially when it comes to organizing so many series, reaching such a huge wordcount, and things/details/habits you found that helped you improve your skills? I honestly aspire to reach your level someday.

The best tip I can give for overall improvement, etc., is just to keep consistent. Even when looking back at the first few fics I posted on this blog, there's a very clear difference in skill/ability to form plot details/descriptions/word usage. Everything truly comes along the more you work at it and have the drive to improve.

The important thing to tell yourself is that you're not going to like everything you write, but the point is that you are writing and noticing the things that might need to change in the future.

Organization, for me, is mostly just a bullet-pointed doc with vague directions I want a series to go in - I like to imagine my writing like tree roots: always spreading out and growing! And for habits, I'd say writing with no distractions really lets me get into the zone of my fics - no TV, no shows, no music, (though I know many people love writing with music, it just gets me thinking about other things, lol. To each their own!), just a quiet room if it's available.

Thank you, this might not be super helpful but I hope you can glean something from it!

#halcyone answers #also I don't really find wordcount that big of a factor when I'm actively writing #long or short it's still an extension of your imagination and wherever it ends up ending is irrelevant #as long as you enjoy what you've done and can find a place to stop without much turmoil on your own part is perfect #don't worry about it!

What was your inspiration for Yara? how did she come to be?

Oooh good question!! Yara, like the vast majority of my OCs, underwent a lot of tweaks and changes and development to the point I have her at right now, where I've got her story and personality and abilities and all that pretty tightly nailed down.

Her character concept started as Mihawk's daughter (I just thought he was EXTREMELY COOL the first time he showed up in the East Blue arc), since I have a thing with my OCs where they always end up being related to a canon character somehow (i.e. Circe Mackinnon (Soul Eater) being the half-sister of Franken Stein; Lilletz Lucilfer (HxH) being the younger sister of Chrollo; Haganezuka Minako (KnY) being the niece of Haganezuka Hotaru; Joey Armansky (Death Note) being the cousin of Mary Kenwood/Wedy; (Iryna Kovalenko (BnHA) fits this mould too but I haven't revealed who she's related to just yet heheh it's a bit of a doozy)). Funny enough, I initially envisioned her travelling with her father and perhaps encountering the Straw Hats at Baratie, so the whole abandonment plotline actually didn't come into play until later, when I decided to make her a Whitebeard Pirate after meeting Ace in the Alabasta arc and absolutely falling in love with him (which only grew as I learned more about him and the depth of his character).

Sometimes, the funny thing with OCs is that after a certain point, their stories just sort of begin to write themselves and all the pieces start to fit together in some really nice thematic ways. Yara and Ace's relationship developed as they found common ground with their resentment towards their fathers and both looking to Whitebeard as a surrogate father figure, which in turn developed Yara's internal struggles with her own identity (not knowing where she came from for the longest time and then even after finding out who her father is, dealing with the pain of being an unwanted and neglected child who grew up into an fiercely angry, yet profoundly lonely young woman). The more I thought about what Yara's early life must've been like, the more I could get a good grasp of who she is as a young adult, what her major plot beats are, and how those connect with the canon story.

Her relation to Wano and the Shimotsuki family (and Zoro, who became her second cousin on her mother's side) was a later addition, as I continued to learn more about the One Piece world and how she could potentially fit into each arc. Marineford and Wano were the two natural places where she would exist, so I've really tried to figure out her development in relation to those two arcs.

I hope that answers your question okay! I could really talk about Yara (or any of my OCs) all day heheh

#oc: bravada yara #my ocs #asked and answered #tl;dr it really was a nice progression of different concepts i had neatly fitting into place #yara as mihawk's abandoned daughter fit beautifully into her desire to rescue ace at marineford when the two came face to face #and her reconnection with mihawk during the timeskip just ended up working out perfectly considering her losses at marineford #giving her the wano connection has woven her neatly into that arc as well #even if her mother wasn't from wano she likely would've gone with marco and izou anyways #but now she has an extra reason to be there that only could've happened because she reconnected with mihawk #and her distrust in the world government because of her run-in with cipher pol gives her a perfect reason to not care about ace's parentage #because she doesn't buy into the wg propaganda of who [redacted for my opla friends] was said to be #so ace tells her and she's just like *shrug* “cool. i hate my dad too”

#not to sound like a broken record #i know this has already been talked about a lot in current fandom discourse #but all the tommy love also comes from a place of #misogyny (buck’s m/f relationships failed bc the women weren’t good enough. but his first m/m is perfect and destined and tommy is god) #(even though we know next to nothing about them as a couple. cough 1 kiss and 1 failed date cough cough) #and biphobic concepts (buck’s only relationship/partner that is worth shipping and love and fandom time is the m/m one) #(if he’s with a woman he’s not worth our time? the relationship/partner isn’t worth our time. right?) #some people kinda sounding like the conservative haters right now #oliver stark’s voice shouting from afar: he isn’t gay! he is bisexual! he still likes women! #some people like to celebrate bi buck (as we should) but then erase his previous gfs #in favour of this 1 man he’s shared literally 4 scenes with. okay #<- <- <- i drafted this like 6 hours before that interview came out. ollie came to back me up with the ‘he still likes women’ lmao #him dating a guy now does not erase or dismiss his previous m/f relationships or that he’s still into women #one final comment. any time buck got with a girl it was ‘they need to break up immediately’ #‘she’s not right for him’ #he’s with his first guy and it’s ’they should be endgame’ #‘they’re perfect together’ #huh?? one. we barely know tommy/them together #two. what exactly makes them endgame material? bc they’re both men? cough biphobic misogyny fetishization cough #three. it would be objectively hilarious if he realises his sexuality and within 2 weeks is dating a guy for the first time #and then that guy ends up being his endgame forever partner. lmaoooo that would be so dumb sawry #not to mention it would kinda lean into the biphobia and misogyny mentioned above #in that it would suggest that his problem with finding love previously was… women #and this problem is now magically fixed because… man #four. not to be a buddie endgame truther but if all the vocal support means this is what we get instead #instead of Them. i’m out see ya bye bye #i am sooooo reading way too much into this but oh well

[spacedlexi]

it honestly frustrates me when i see people reduce the ericsons cast down to "just some teens in the woods" acting like theyre no different than any other group of lone teenagers from other existing properties and treating them like an overused trope

it is sooo important to acknowledge the "troubled youth" aspect of the whole equation. theyre not just some random teens in the woods clem stumbles across. these kids were abandoned by their families for their various "difficulties" and fucked up by The System before the outbreak even began. and then once zombies started roaming the streets their familes never came back for them and the adults that were in charge of taking care of them just left them there to rot in that old boarding school (except for ms martin who was like their lee 🥺 the only person who ever saw them as the scared traumatized kids they were and died protecting them)

the whole aspect of them already being fucked up by the adults that controlled their lives is like.....kind of important when discussing the whole "delta is stealing kids to force them to fight in a war they have no real part in and want nothing to do with" aspect of the season. and its important when comparing them to clem and her journey of also suffering at the hands of the adults around her forcing her to become self reliant. AND its important when discussing the "just trying to build a safe home (and future) worth fighting for in this world that wants them dead" aspect of the season as well

these kids were forced to come together to survive. and a Lot of them didnt... theyre the only family they have left and you can tell that even when they argue with each other theyre still a close knit group who looks out for each other. theyre a Real family before clem even gets there (and its why what really happened with the twins and brody and marlon hits them all so especially hard)

all of this is what REALLY makes ericsons such a perfect home for clem. its a Real community of her True peers. theyre not Just teens. they mightve had a layer of safety clem never had by at least having walls to keep them safe. and having the benefit of the school being hard to find. its the only reason theyre still alive when clem shows up. but theyre also some of the only people who can Truly understand where clem and aj are coming from. and its why it hurts so much when they vote to kick them out. but its also partially why she merges back into the fold so easily when she returns. plus the fact that shes Really the only one who has any idea what shes doing. shes their rock and she makes them feel safe because underneath it all theyre still just those scared traumatized kids ("EVERYONE is scared, clem..." vi was Definitely including herself in that 'everyone'), and on some level, so is clem

they saved clementines life. and she saved theirs. "the school was supposed to help them with their trauma, now they help each other" its about the LOVE the COMMUNITY the SUPPORT!!!! and thats the shit that makes good zombie media honestly 👌

#it speaks #twdg #there i go again writing another essay but i will Always defend the ericson cast theyre one of the strongest out of all 4 seasons #complaints ive seen about s4 typically include mentions of the teens as a trope being overused and im like.......did you even pay attention #the fact they were branded “troubled youth” and basically thrown away by everyone who was supposed to take care of them is SO IMPORTANT #these kids are Fucked Up but theyre Trying to make a kinder world #nobody talk to me i fucking love the ericson cast 😭😭😭 theres not a single one of them i dont like im serious #them using poor pilgrim of sorrow in ep3....ericsons is heaven to clem 😭 all the comments she can make about feeling safe there 😭😭 #clem being everyones rock but violet being clems rock back 🥺😭💕 waaaaahhh thats why it was over for me when vi stood up for them in ep 2 #vi having the courage to stand up to her group for aj........... yeah she had me in a vice grip after that. she fought for them so hard #and if it wasnt for her advocating so hard for them to stay they ALL would have been taken or killed #vi cared about clem so much she undoomed them all #and aj loved clem so much he undoomed her :') #s4 is just the perfect ending to clems story truly itll make me happy for the rest of my life im so happy for u clem 🥺 #tfw the media you like gets a good ending and the main characters are respected and it feels like it was made from a place of love #instead of being like...actively hostile to its fanbase and destroying its own characters for the Laughs #and when i say “good” i dont necessarily mean “happy” i just mean “competently written" #i wouldnt call it perfect but it survived both a cancellation AND the financial collapse of a major game studio. its perfect to Me #for what it is (and what it originally almost was with the clems house plot) we truly lucked out so fucking hard #truly a return to form of season 1 but with less despair and more hope which i appreciate :') #all the things ive liked over the years that were destroyed for me by bad or weird writing decisions... clutches onto twdg like a lifeboat #god i love s4 so much nothing has ever been More Specifically Written For Me Personally
