Au fucking revoir Mister Prince

[heisoark]

I love to think Ace and Sabo do random shit like this just to mess with Luffy and it works all the time unfortunately

[cosmicatta]

Hey! I recently came across your stories on AO3 and I don't even know how to explain it, you have a very unique writing style. It's very sensory, magical and detailed... I don't think I've ever come across something like that before (at least in fanfiction!) And I wanted to let you know that you're absolutely brilliant and I always find myself coming back to read your stories again and again 🥹 Thank you so much for writing them ❤️

There's something I wanted to ask just out of mere curiosity (if you don't mind answering ofc). We usually learn from what we see and read, and I was wondering just what kind of authors you've read throughout your life that ultimately lead you to develop such a wonderful style! I'm asking because I'm curious and would love to look up their work (I need to read more beautiful poetry! 😭) Do you have any particular authors or works you love?

Sorry if this is something weird to ask, if you don't have any or if your style simply appeared as you started writing, that's totally fair! I'm just being curious.

Thank you so much for writing and sharing your stories. Take care! ❤️

Anon, I have no words to express how I feel, this is one of the loveliest messages I've ever received about my writing. Really, thank you so much. I've been sitting here for a while trying to come up with a coherent response because this made me so emotional I don't even know what to say 😭💖 I'm so happy that you like my work so much!

To answer your question, I'll try to put together a little list of works and authors that inspire me especially 🌸:

Federico García Lorca's entire life's work. I'm not all too familiar with the English translations, but I trust that there must be some good ones at least. If you're interested in poetry, that's my best recommendation. My favorite of his pieces is a very allegorical theatre play called Bodas de sangre (Blood Wedding).

Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. I first read this book when I was in college and I think it influenced my writing style a lot. If you enjoy sensory descriptions and short, thought-provoking pieces of poetic prose, you might like this one.

Miyazawa Kenji's Night on the Galactic Railroad. One of my favorite novels, it's a very special kind of enigmatic fantasy, very bittersweet and full of beautiful metaphors.

Anna-Marie McLemore's When the Moon Was Ours. Another one of my favorite novels. A beautiful piece of magical realism, written with so much care and sensitivity. I can't recommend it enough.

Off the top of my head, I think those are some of my strongest influences, though I doubt I can do them any justice! I hope you enjoy them if you decide to pick them up sometime 💖 And here's some special honorary mentions too, because why not: Patricia A. McKillip, Jorge Luis Borges, Irene Solà, Ursuka K. Le Guin, Ken Liu, Juan Rulfo.

Once again, thanks a lot for your beautiful words of support. I hope I can keep creating more stories for you to enjoy! Don't hesitate to ask any other questions, I'm always happy to chat.

Hope you have a lovely day, anon 🌸 Hugs!

Hi, I posted a lulaw drabble on ao3! It's a little prose poetry experiment about nymph Law and human Luffy discovering sex together.

"I need to stop starting fandom projects so I stop disappointing people."

it's okay to disappoint people

it's okay to work slowly

it's okay to let yourself rest

it's okay to drop projects

Stop treating yourself like you are the workers at a fast food franchise.

Your writing is a hobby, don't let it turn into a source of guilt, shame and frustration instead of a source of joy.

[mynameiskan]

I hope all artists in every fandom will adopt this mind set too.

😊 Please don't push yourselves too much or too often. Fandoms and creating fanarts are supposed to give you joy, not burdens.

[zetrystan]

Technically true.

He got the job.

He takes his job seriously.

Go check it out and give them some support! :) (also the end killed me haha) ₍ᐢ•ﻌ•ᐢ₎

The farmer sheared the sheep, and it was used to make a gift for Wolf Hunter, so…

In times like these, when the road ahead looks dark and endless and frightening, I want to make a conscious effort to hold onto everything that makes life worth living.

I want to stay close to my loved ones, who make this hostile world a little easier to inhabit, even if we can't solve anything at all by ourselves. I have friends I can rely on (and I should do so more often), friends who have the inexplicable, magical ability of making me feel the warmth of a hug from miles away.

I have not been very lucky with most of my extended family, but every day I'm grateful that I have my parents, who are kind, loving and supportive people. I know I can trust them with anything, and I know they always try their best even if they make mistakes (I make mistakes too).

Being known is both terrifying and comforting in a way. Sometimes I think very few people know me, or understand me and who I am, but some keep actively trying to. And I want to let them, because despite it all, being seen feels so good it makes me want to cry.

And I want to remind myself of the beauty that surrounds me, and all of the things I still want to do even if I can't right now. All the books I want to read, and those that I've already read and took something valuable from. All of the art, the landscapes, the places I have yet to see, and those I want to see again. And the blank pages I still hope to fill one day with my own vision.

There is a lot that feels impossible today, and it might keep feeling impossible for a long time. The world is a hostile place, and my mind is too. The future is uncertain at best. But I want to hold on.

Happy holidays, if you celebrate ❤ Keep holding on.

So excited to share this fic with you all!

[magicmooshka]

latest comic idea i came up with while talking to @missiletoe: ratatouille but instead of a rat who can cook it is a frog who writes the most amazing yaoi. it is titled "frogjoshi." everyone says, "how can a frog write yaoi? what does a frog know about gay love?" and yet, she writes the most beautiful BL stories of all time. a world-renowned yaoi critic reads her novel, and is moved to tears having been reminded of the first yaoi she ever read, long ago, before she even knew what yaoi was. she demands to meet the author. they bring out the frog. roll credits

Chewing and gnawing on the irony One Piece continually shows with the main characters where they're doing objectively kind and helpful things and that's what gets them in trouble with the law. It's the selective application of criminal justice. The bias and room for corruption built into the system itself. It's delicious. It's horribly relevant. I'm obsessed.

[sailing-ever-west-deactivated20]

This post was inspired by this screencap of people discussing Zoro being a wanted criminal over a shot of him protectively cradling a little girl

But it can also be with things like Usopp finally getting a wanted poster and the incriminating picture is of him freeing a bunch of slaves. Things like Nami's treasure stash being legally taken by the same marines who let Arlong terrorize her village for years. Things like Luffy's bounty going up after doing the government's work for them taking out Crocodile and saving a whole country from years of drought. And of course, things like the very first plot point, where Zoro is criminalized not for his ruthless kills (those were legal) but for protecting a child from a petty marine's untrained dog.

I'm sure others could add more examples but you get the gist. It's brilliantly done and I eat it up every time. Especially because it's still not black and white. Pirates do awful things. Marines do good things. But in the end, the only people truly free to do everything they believe is right are those who have already been deemed criminals.

Pirates do awful things. Marines do good things. But in the end, the only people truly free to do everything they believe is right are those who have already been deemed criminals.

This line goes so fucking hard op & I think it might just be the thesis for the entire show omg.

[lost-in-fantasies-for-others]

The examples are just *chef's kiss*

It's the fact that our real world is so terrifyingly close to what is happening in One Piece. Or maybe it was always like this and Oda is opening our eyes in ways that are more relatable and easier to digest. I'm in love with such analysis and the people who do them
