been navelgazing about my own au/my self-insert and like her Studied mysticism, e.g. she and hawkins learned form the same sources and developed different pratices, versus her line "it helps to be exotic" in suit of cups chapter 8 and drake POV noticing her race more than any other because i watched golden kamuy while writing tshag, so i was thinking of asirpa not caring for inkarmat while she makes money off the japanese. and then i read the terror around the time i wrote the drake bj interrogation, so while the british narrators' view of lady silence is foul and racist, it colors my take on the one piece navy + i'm more interested in golden kamuy being skeptical of this part of ainu culture as spectacle for the colonizer than the terror written by a white guy just like accepting psychic abilities and shamanism. also crozier is witch-adjacent by being irish and attending Some catholic masses as a child

one thing i remember from the terror like literally chapter 1 is crozier noticing when his men wear handknits and sullenly imagining they were made by sweethearts or mothers or sisters while he has none

pesto (a combination of basil, garlic, savory elements, and nuts) represents the italians' primitive efforts to engineer thai food from first principles

the hubris of this wip is physically i have done the dressrosa-whole cake, straw hat-twirly hat split for my cross guild so half of what's happening is off page or over snail

most of my contradictory headcanons are sexual and none of it is about labeled identities and i am only talking about basil hawkins

he is a sadist outside of sex for sure and would be curious about incoporating it, but it wouldn't be a first impulse. his sex drive is really quite low or at least waxes and wanes to great extremes but he jacks off as needed and isn't really one to seek out partners casually. this changes if he's in a relationship and maybe he tells himself being attached to someone with greater sexual needs is too much trouble but really what it is is it confuses his own desires. he has less self-control than he does disinterest, but in a relationship sex is a facet of larger hmm control or possession so satisfaction is a priority as long as he is invested. he gets off more on being needed and chosen than actual sensation
