The shipwrights are out shopping!! You just know Franky was the most annoying little brother to do chores with <3

[Image description: A digital drawing of a young Franky and teenage Iceburg from One Piece on a yellow background.

Franky is sitting on Iceburg's shoulders, pointing urgently out of frame, with the other hand resting on Iceburg's head. A large speech bubble is next to his head and shows a bottle of cola, followed by two exclamation marks.

Iceburg has one hand steadying Franky's knee, the other holding up a shopping bag half-filled with oranges. Beside him is a speech bubble with an x-mark, to show his response to Franky's cola demands. His expression is disgruntled and he sweats in reluctance.

They each wear their canon outfits, Franky barefoot in goggles, a patterned shirt and shorts. Iceburg has a bandanna tied on his head, and wears a striped sleeveless purple t-shirt. There are small nicks and scars on both their arms. /End description]

rip to the crew of the enterprise for having bad taste in poetry because data’s poems fucking rock. sunset bloom and ode to spot are spectacular actually.

#what do you mean you couldn't connect with it emotionally geordi??? #the first one was talking about how he often gets shut down when explaining the scientific reasoning for things #but still realized that sitting in silence and watching a sunset with a friend is enjoyable #and the second one was how despite spot being a non sapient animal who cant care ffor him in the way others can #he still values spot as an important part of his life #shame on everyone except picard and deanna who were supportive the whole time #star trek tng #star trek the next generation #data soong #toadtalks

I don’t know if I’ve said something along these lines before so apologies if I have or if someone else has, and also apologies if this is completely incoherent. I have a lot of feelings. There are lots of grammar mistakes. It is 2:00 AM.

THIS IS MY THEORY FOR THE ENDING OF BNHA, AND WHY I BELIEVE THAT IT WON’T BE LIKE THE TIME SKIP THE FANDOM HAS IMAGINED UP UNTIL THIS POINT. (this is long and slightly spoilery)

Part one: fandom expectations

So at the beginning of the manga, the general story is protecting the status quo versus disrupting the status quo. The villains are evil for evil’s sake and the heroes are good for good’s sake. People are heroes because they think it’s the right thing to do, they want to save people, they think it’s cool, or they want the status symbol. All the kids want to be heroes! It’s a massively popular job with very few people actually working it, proportionately. People that don’t end up as heroes end up disappointed (or at least, that’s what I imagine. We don’t actually have a lot of examples of failed heroes in the manga, or at least none that jump out at me). Quirks are common, everybody wants a cool quirk, and people without them aren’t necessarily discriminated against but they ARE an ‘other’.

People who have quirks that aren’t powerful and aren’t hero-worthy, or go against one of the other societal values of the BNHA world (which are the same as ours: we value beauty, money, power, and conventionality, generally speaking), ARE discriminated against. Take heteromorphic quirks, for example. They make people uncomfortable because the people with them aren’t conventional, so they are treated as ‘lesser than’. People with quirks that affect their mental state, or people with unconventional mental states who happen to have a quirk that’s easy to vilify, (such as Toga) end up as social outcasts who are more likely to want to disrupt the society that cast them out.

The way that the society in BNHA is so quirk-focused, and the way that it glamourizes hero work, has a lot of negative effects that are shown throughout the series.

If I asked the earlier BNHA fandom to picture what a time skip would look like after the manga’s completion, the general idea, at least to my understanding, would be that the main cast would be heroes at the top, and the villains would be eradicated and the status quo protected. The kids are at hero school, why the hell wouldn’t they be heroes in the end?

Now that we’ve seen the villains’ motivations, and seen the harm that the status quo causes, the manga has shifted in a direction where the heroes are also moving in a similar direction as the villains, but fighting the villains because the villains do it in a way that kills people. A lot of speculation about the way that the series is going to end is shifting.

What if I told you that I think that not only are the kids not going to end up as heroes, but there will be no heroes by the end of BNHA. In fact, I think there will be no more quirks.

Part two: the quirk singularity doomsday theory (QSDT)

For a series that happens in a relatively linear way, there's a lot of talk about the quirk singularity doomsday theory, which predicts an event that, if it were to happen, would happen decades to centuries after the events of the series. I think it's interesting how the warning signs of the QSDT becoming reality are already sort of happening: Eri and the kids at Bakugou and Todoroki's provisonal license make-up classes are there to show that quirks are already starting to mix to become too powerful for children to use them safely. While it's an interesting bit of world-building, this specific aspect of the story hasn't had a clear purpose yet.

Unless it does have a very, very clear purpose;

To show that the status quo of the BNHA world isn't just unsustainable in a social sense, but also in a physical one; that if nothing were to be done about it, the QSDT would in fact come true and doomsday would happen. I think it exists to show that even if villains weren't a problem, something needs to change or else total collapse is inevitable.

Part three: AFO and OFA

In a different (and worse) version of BNHA, the big bad villain would probably have a quirk like a crazy version of Bakugou's or something -- something big and flashy and intimidating but ultimately predictable. I find AFO interesting as a villain not because he's particularly unique as a character, but because he's unpredictable. We've never really seen the full extent of his power and he always keeps us on our toes.

According to an interview or something I saw somewhere (never quote me on anything) the original draft of BNHA had Deku as a quirkless kid for the entire thing, relying on his smarts alone to become a hero; apparently Horikoshi's editors thought this wouldn't sell very well as the protagonist needed to have some kind of flashy and marketable power, so OFA was born, alongside its mechanics and lore.

All Might, Izuku, and OFA are very direct parallels to AFO, Shigaraki, and AFO (the quirk). OFA is not only similar to AFO in the way that they were born from the same place and operate in a similar way, but also that they're both unpredictable. Horikoshi has purposefully left both the audience and the people in the story out of all of the complexities of what OFA and AFO can do as quirks, probably so that he doesn't end up breaking his own rules down the line -- but also for another reason.

Part four: what's happening in the manga??? (SPOILERS)

Right now, as of chapter 369, OFA and AFO are both going batshit insane. AFO and Shigaraki have melded together, AFO's body is regenerating and will eventually disappear, ShigAFO is mutating like crazy even under the effects of erasure, Izuku is using all of OFA and manifesting the vestiges in the physical realm, the rules of time, space, and death are being bent, shit's wild and I love it. It seems like nothing is off the table, and anything is possible at this point.

But where is it all going? What will happen once the battle is over?

My best guess is that once AFO's body disappears and Deku (and hopefully Bakugou dhjdhjd) wins the fight against Shigaraki, Shigaraki's body will like. Peel away or something and Tenko will be left. But that's like, really specific and I genuinely don't know if that's where Horikoshi is going or not.

Part four: where am I going with this?

I don't know the specifics, but either at the climax of the final battle or right after, this is what I think will happen. Either:

AFO and OFA merge, possibly when AFO tries to steal OFA. There's a consistent theme in BNHA about merging with other people, becoming other people, sharing consciousness, mind and body etc. I don't think it's a stretch to assume that if this happens, a cataclysmic event will occur (that could potentially steal every single quirk on the planet, therefore overloading AFO and destroying all of them) (It's been established that even the quirks that AFO has already are rebelling against him, so this could also kill AFO's consciousness, two birds with one stone).

Shigaraki (or Tenko) willingly works to undo the harm he's caused by removing everyone's quirk and destroying them, bringing about equality.

A third thing that combines these.

I think that an ending like this for BNHA would suit it. Not only would it subvert expectations and tie up loose ends, but it would also fit the narrative, at least in my opinion. Deku says at the very beginning that 'not all men are born equal', and throughout BNHA that philosophy has been one of if not the most important driving force in the plot. (It's why, in my opinion, the story fits so well as an allegory for disability, queerness, and the like). It would be almost poetic for everyone to end the story on equal footing. Deku and Bakugou don't have to compete for the spot of number one, because they'd both be the greatest heroes for bringing about a new age of peace.

I dunno.

anyway.

These are all just my thoughts. I'm aware that Horikoshi probably has a different plan for his series and I'm perfectly chill with that. It's just a theory. A game theory

if you have any thoughts I'd love to hear them!

ToadTalks

So, like, I know you’re a frog and all, and you probably can’t understand me, and I should probably go back to my dorms to study before Andel and Cowbell come over, but I gotta get something off my chest and you’re the only one I can talk to. So, I have this friend who’s called Cowbell, which is a neat name.

On the first day of my lectures I was a bit lost and turned around, and I found Cowbell and asked how to get to the Religious Studies lecture hall. She kinda, scoffed at me? and walked away. I followed her after a bit because I figured I couldn’t do any better, and if she wasn’t going to Religious Studies I could just ask another student or the professor. I lost her after a bit, my attention was caught by something shiny on the ground and by the time I looked up she was gone.

I spent another 20 minutes circling campus before ending up where I had been before and figuring out my lecture hall was right next to the shiny thing. I was super annoyed! And Cowbell was right there, messing with her pages of notes! She couldn’t even bother to lead me to the class she was already going to!

......

I know right! Anyways, we ended up sitting next to each other, and of course because I had the worst luck at the time, this professor was one who assigned groups that you use for the rest of the year. We got paired together along with a stranger called Wren and another classmate named Andel, and Cowbell didn’t even give us a name to call her! Wren didn’t attend class after the first day, she probably dropped it or something. Ugh, Cowbell was the worst the first week, completely unbearable. We all just ended up calling her Gator, because she was so snappy and hard to get along with. Our first project, she refused to even do anything, and disappeared once the project was supposed to be turned in! I mean, who does that? You get it right?

…......

Sigh, yeah. Me and Andel just trooped through it and managed to get out with an A- somehow. The next day, Cowbell didn’t even try to make an excuse for herself! On friday that week I offered to buy pizza for the group, but Cowbell just said that she had something better to do and walked off. Me and Andel figured it was for the best and there would be more pepperoni for us. But like, the next week comes and Cowbell isn’t there at all? Me and Andel thought she might’ve dropped the class like Wren might’ve done, but we got kinda annoyed. We did that weeks project and got an A, which was real nice, and did our solo essays easily enough. She wasn’t there for the next week either, and me and Andel started worrying. We did worry about her, y’see! Don’t look at me like that! We aren’t monsters!

...

I mean, we put up missing posters and everything! They kept on disappearing or being replaced which was annoying, but we spent so much change at the library just to print out all the posters we pasted up. I’m pretty sure the library started to like us after the end of the two weeks Cowbell was gone.

....

Yeah, yeah, it’s hard to believe, but I felt safer in the library. Whatever, anyways. Cowbell came back and I was wary at first, but she seemed less quiet and disgruntled and more curious and silent? I don’t know how to explain it. So by friday, I had decided she would come to our, by now routine, pizza meeting. This time she said yes and looked hopeful? It was really strange. We ended up having a good time, and that’s when Cowbell introduced herself properly.

I feel like Cowbell isn’t the same, there’s something inherently wrong about comparing her attitude before and after she went missing. Like the missing puzzle piece was Gator shaped, and Cowbell was the same shape as Gator, but the image was just slightly different. It still fit perfectly and completed the picture, but it was just, different.

Cowbell and Gator are two different people in my mind, but it doesn’t make sense that they’re actually two different people. I like Cowbell better, I think Gator, where ever she is, is happier away from us, and we’re happier to fit Cowbell in her place.

Cowbell sometimes has these moments, though, that make me feel like her and Gator aren’t even the same entity. She stumbles over memories, when we mention Wren she kinda, cocks her head like she’s asking “Who?”. It’s weird, but like, I like Cowbell! And I really don’t think that she’s a bad person. I don’t think she’s weird either! She has her moments, but she’s a really kind and considerate person. I feel like maybe, Gator isn’t… Gator doesn’t… exist? anymore? but she does because Cowbell is her to a certain extent.

....

You’re right, it doesn’t sound real. Cowbell has her moments though. I swear to god I saw her eating a real goldfish, hidden inside a bag of the goldfish cheese crackers. On monday, for a single millisecond when she smiled she had razor sharp teeth!! I only saw them for a moment though, so it was probably my imagination. One time she blinked and I saw those clear film eyelids that a lizard has, but she might’ve just been blinking real fast.

Honestly I don’t particularly care if she’s not Gator, and I don’t think I really need to say anything about what I've been seeing. I mean, she hasn’t hurt anyone, and she’s honestly really dedicated to learning. I’m not gonna ruin that just cause of what I may or may not have seen. Ugh, I probably sound crazy to you little lad. What do you think?

...

Yeah, I’m totally insane. How could someone just be replace by someone exactly like them? That’s just weird. I’m happy with Cowbell, but the itch to tell someone about my weird thoughts was getting to me. I’m just imagining things. God, i’m talking to a frog, i must really be going cuckoo!

......

Oh shit, look at the time, I gotta go back to the dorms right now! Thanks for easing my thoughts, little bud, don’t get eaten by anything, good luck, safe travels and all that, It’s friday today! i’ll say hello to Cowbell for you!

#thank you for listening fo my toadtalks- #anyways the story is that cowbell is a changeling but decided NOT to use the memories of the one she swapped with #cowbell just wants to learn broe #let her learn!!!! #cowbell is rlly kind doe #after gator stormed into the gentry and demanded a deal #cowbell exchanged gators life for something #but gator lost #cowbell stole her away and just let gator vibe in the gentry #submission #stories #long post #cowbell #toadtalks #stolen away #changelings #love this

hello! if any of you have been following @askcorpsey you may have noticed that everything is gone. even if you haven’t been following that au, you may have been following @g0at0ad, and realized the account is gone

i was that owner of that account, and what had happened is that my account was terminated, i don’t know why or how, but i was logging in and suddenly “your account has been terminated.”

i don’t know if or when i’ll get back my account, but from ahead i have two options based off of how tumblr decides to treat me.

the more favorable option is that i get my account at least mostly restored, and my aus will continue as normal.

the less favorable option is tumblr not letting me get my account back, and i have to make a new blog for all my stuff and reupload everything. i really hope it doesn’t come to this, but with how tumblr is, i honestly don’t know.

i don’t know why i was terminated, and it might not be that big of a deal, but honestly? this sucks. i had nearly 200 followers, and probably as many art posts.

fingers crossed that i get my account back.

Cora holds Law in his arms and smiles widely at him, his eyes closed and feathers from his coat surrounding them. Law is looking up at Cora with a troubled expression and wide eyes, his hand holding on to the fabric of Cora’s shirt tightly. A yellow circle with emanating rays halos Corazon’s head, and white rays frame Law’s head too. The colours are muted but warm, with cool shadows. The brightest colours are the yellow rays behind Cora and the yellow of Law’s eyes. /end description]

Drawing places you never expected to see 🍊

[Image description: A digital drawing showing two versions of Nami from One Piece. In the top left corner sits Nami as a young child, crying and hunched over a cartography desk. Her hair is matted and she wears a simple dark blue dress. She is drawn in cold, washed-out colours, boxed in on either side with dark walls. Arlong's tattoo is a bright blue mark on her arm and her hands shake as she tries to draw a map. Around her are other maps she's drawn that float down the rest of the page to post-timeskip Nami.

Adult Nami is coloured in brighter orange tones than her child self, wearing a weather patterned top and shorts. Her hair is long and curlier with an undercut. Her hands rest on the railing of a ship as she looks out, smiling and lit by sunlight. The tangerine and pinwheel tattoo is a dark blue that has been added to until she has a sleeve of winding tattoos down her left arm. The background is a dark green colour. /End description]
