I am so relieved you're feeling better :) My adulthood sucks a little, but it is far better than my time in college or my childhood and I think it will be better in the future since I am now independent/far from toxic people, so I get you. I hope you remain far away from the depressed state you once were. Question, what do you think of the current/recent One Piece chapters? Well, if you keep reading it! Do you still ship LawLu? Hope you're ok and thank you for the message :)
I hope things continue to improve for you too! Getting out of a bad environment truly makes such a big difference <3
I’m not caught up on the manga, but someone did persuade me recently that I should try to be, so I’d like to try to read all the arcs I’ve missed soon! I just want to finish my unposted monster-length LawLu space opera fic first, lol, I’ve been working on this thing on and off for like seven years, Jesus Christ. Which is to say I do still ship them, they remain near and dear to my heart, and indeed I totally got sandbagged by the pirates again this year, I even posted a new thing for them (nsfw text @ the link) recently...!
Hi! I am new here but I adore your one piece fanarts and fics (and your fanmixes) but I often see you were feeling bad at the times you made them. I hope you're feeling better or will soon. Good luck for everything!
Thank you, I'm delighted that someone still enjoys them! <3 And I am absolutely 10000% better than I was in undergrad 10 years ago, lol, being a young person in college was just existentially, psychologically, and spiritually terrible in every way, it turns out all of those things do get vastly better once you are an adult. :,) Now I get to be one of those insufferable people who try to tell the youth not to despair whilst in the worst period of their young adulthood, albeit with a tragic awareness of how very difficult that is to believe when you're actually there...
was going through your one piece art cause im in love with your style and a lot of things you think, that including Law and Luffy, do you still draw one piece? have thoughts about things in it? and my last question have you read Law's novel? i've been reading it on and off and im unsure if you would like the insight or if it would ruin how you think of the heart pirates in your own headcanons and what not, sorry to bother if this is annoying
Alas, I can’t draw anymore because of hand/wrist/arm problems! I stopped about 6 years ago, chiefly because of the hand/wrist/arm but also because when I got a new laptop in 2019 it turned out that my tablet lagged with it, and there wasn’t any way to fix that, so between the medium not being readily accessible and causing me pain it dropped off the list of my free time activities. (And at this point I really can’t, I’ve got unremitting tendonitis from my hand pretty much all the way up my shoulder, it’s, uh. Probably the multiple sclerosis.)
But the pirates still have a special place in my heart!! Though I’m afraid I haven’t watched/read One Piece in many years either. What I DO still do is poke at the novel-length incomplete longfic still sitting around on my hard drive every few months or so, lol... Every time I think about posting the 80% that I have as a WIP amnesty I realize that I like too much of it to fritter it away unfinished, and back into the depths of my hard drive it goes. SOME DAY! Some day maybe I will post my Lawlu sci-fi AU magnum opus,
(…And possibly also try to catch up on the actual series, but that feels like a secondary priority, lol. IF ANYONE WANTS TO REGALE ME WITH THE CLIFFSNOTES OF THE LAST ~6 YEARS FOR MY FAVORITE SAD PIRATE, THOUGH, I am ALL ears,)
And I have not read the novel! But you should tell me about it anyway, you make me curious.
unless you play it good and right — 38,000 words, Ivan Vorpatril/Byerly Vorrutyer, post-CVA mutual pining fake dating ft. undercover ImpSec mission at a seaside casino resort.
“Um.” Ivan colored under By’s gaze. He was pretty sure that behind the dark glasses By was staring at him like he’d grown a second head. “It’s just—I usually bring girls here.”
In which there are an undercover surveillance job, an old enemy, and Byerly Vorrutyer’s broken heart.
Being on something of Vladimir Vysotsky translation kick I have translated «Москва – Одесса» / “Moscow to Odessa” (Spotify, Youtube) into English and made it singable! Lyrics below the cut:
—
Again I fly from Moscow to Odessa!
My plane is stuck again on the concrete
And here comes our stewardess, god bless her, blue-clad contessa
Reliable as the whole civilian fleet.
In Murmansk the clouds are thinning out
And Ashgabat waits in the open air
Open are Kyiv, and Kharkov, Chisinau
And Lvov is too—but I don’t need to go there!
They tell me, “There’s not a chance today
Don’t count upon the heavens to be nice!”
And sure enough, they’re saying no express flights to Odessa
The runway’s covered hopelessly in ice!
In Leningrad the snow is melting fast
But why should I for Leningrad declare?
In Tbilisi as always it is warm—
They grow tea there, but I don’t need to go there!
I hear: last flight to Rostov is departing!
But it’s Odessa that’s where I need to be!
But where I need to go—landing lights aren’t restarting
And so the flight is once again delayed!
Where I go, the streets are clad in white
And tomorrow there will be heavy snow
And somewhere else it is all clear and bright
I’m sure that’s nice—but I don’t need to go there!
Here you can’t fly out—and there you can’t fly in
It’s so unfair, I know only defeat
But the stewardess, she dully invites us to board
Reliable as the whole civilian fleet.
You can go to anywhere on the map
To a place that no reward could get me to bear
The port of Vladivostok has been breached
Paris has too—but I don’t need to go there!
Lift off, the sky is clearing, our destination nearing
The liner’s engine working hard and shrill
I’m just on pins and needles, they’ll reroute any minute
Of all their reasons I have had my fill!
Where I go, it’s impenetrable fog
And tomorrow is still more heavy snowfall!
They’ve opened London, Delhi, even Prague
It’s all good now—but I don’t need to go there!
Do I laugh or cry now, delayed again and how now,
And very soon we will our past selves meet
Led swiftly in reverse by the stewardess, our miss Odessa
Who looks just like the whole civilian fleet.
Departures delayed till eight again!
And the weary masses can only accept it!
I’m sick to death of waiting, damn it all!
And I’m flying to wherever they will have me!
I’m sick to death of waiting, damn it all!
I am flying to wherever they will have me.
By didn’t make his living through charity. But he did make his living through a weird sort of loyalty. And, somewhere underneath the persiflage, camouflage, and just plain flage, he was high Vor of the highest…
A(n electropop & alt rock) fanmix for Byerly Vorrutyer, ImpSec informant.
