searching anything on google images is absolutely impossible as of late. I'll add the standard -shop -buy -sell when I need clothing refs and yet somehow I'm still shown pics of products instead of what I need. adding "art" or concept design" or jus "design" does nothing bc all it brings up are sites used for custom screen printing clothing like!!!!!! that's not what I want aaaaaaaaa stop trying to sell me a product

Remember when I said I was cooking a Really self indulgent au?

Here it is! In which Ace picks up a different shipwrecked masked aspiring adventure-novelist on Sixis :)

Spade Pirates’ First Mate Sabo AU

Except Sabo and Ace both don’t realize it’s each other because Sabo still has amnesia and Ace can’t recognize Sabo after 7 years because of the mask

This came from the writing prompt someone gave me of Sabo and Deuce interaction and once I got thinking about them I was like. There’s too many parallels. And couldn’t stop thinking about it

In this AU Sabo doesn’t get saved by Dragon, washes up onshore on Goa before he dies, and survives to set sail again a week or so later, but still has amnesia. Realizing that sailing alone as a ten year old is pretty unfeasible though, he stops sailing after the first few islands and lives as a feral forest child on his own for the next seven years until he feels ready and strong enough to try again.

He chooses his own name, Tage (pronounced taj), based on the assumption that Sabo is his last name and his belongings are too ruined to read his given name :) credit to whery for the name pun idea it’s absolutely genius

I might do some short comics for this if I ever get around to it but for now it’s just a loose collection of ideas!

oop my following and follower count went down. wh. what happened

(l'arachel voice) DASHING! ∘* ✧･ﾟ

it is my FAVORITE thing in the world in this fic to edit out any slang or coined terms from a character's vocabulary and have them be so clueless (and unwilling to admit it) when someone uses such slang/terms at them directly. peak dry comedy. what do you mean you don't know what "wanna hang out" is implying.

it is my LEAST favorite thing in the world to have to change all these american idioms i use w/o thinking to match the country+culture the fic is set in. especially when i edit after being awake 30+ hours and have no energy nor desire to dig through a translated idiom/proverb list to try and come up with an equivalent phrase. hell on earth. want someone else to do it for me.

second time this month I've had the hubris to say 'oh it won't take me long to edit, this is only uhhhhhhhhh 20k words'

you think i would learn but consistently. not

created hourly things to do so i get basic tasks done around coursework n writing stuff today. i did the 10am one (a phonecall i got returned before 1p) and then kept writing past 11, 12, 1, its now 2p and i was supposed to have eaten by now and also started uni stuff twelve minutes ago. i am still at this open doc. i haven't even written since 2-ish bc i finished the scene and have been trying to convince myself to move on (i got up and got water and here i am again). these hourlies were supposed to be quick things to do in like 10m then i could do whatever for the remaining time but aaaaaaa i got so sucked in i couldnt stop which i should have expected to happen. either way its past 2 and i need to be moving on to uni stuff rlyyyyyyyyy bad and then here i am. ranting on tumblr instead

i need ppl who follow me to realize that kuro/shitsuji is like lolita to me. i enjoy it inside of a very limited viewpoint. lots of parts make me very uncomfortable because there are certain elements that are supposed to alarm and disgust the viewer. if you hold the opposite reaction then that's on you and idc as long as you don't shove it in my face.

my feelings on the content have changed so drastically since reading the blue dream arc. I don't even ship ciel w lizzy anymore primarily bc of manga reasons and secondarily bc I don't want to think abt ciel in like a romance-able context bc all (most) of his options are older than him. lizzy is only a yr older but im still like hmmmmmmmmmmm no no thank you. terribly consequential bc I love yana and the series and the writing and the direction but to see all the darkest parts and know them so deeply. bb has always been a cautionary tale of sorts but even more so in recent years.

i know it has flack as a whole for being the series with c/s/a but I don't think ppl realize that it's done in a way that does not romanticize the concept one but. the entire blue dream arc is a nightmare start to finish and it's to put things into perspective. the other thing it gets flack for is the god what's the word..... baiting maybe??? the insinuations with sebastian and ciel that is all ppl who know nothing abt the series seem to see it as. that's fine it's whatever, it's absolutely not the truth but I could care less abt what ppl who know nothing abt the series think of it. it literally doesn't do anyone harm to romanticize it. is it true????? absolutely not no again bb as a whole is a giant cautionary tale a la lolita. to me. their relationship is so predator/prey and that's all I'll ever view it as. is it endearing at times? sure that's how it's meant to be portrayed. is there ever any doubt that these 2 absolutely hate each other and are only using the other as a means to an end?? not at all no doubt whatsoever. the character connections and overall plot are the series' strong points, but by and large I will always view it as 1800s england throwing every possible curse it can into the face of a 12yo boy.

i swear this will be the year i finish all my old ml art and post it as one giant set and debut m+h on here

explain your reasoning if you so desire!

wednesday au project ep.1

dug around and my post-platinum arc speculation is mostly in the tags so it's not worth resurfacing that post but i do want to reiterate!!!!!

it's still my headcanon that moon is older than platinum and that dp/pt arcs took place between sumo and usum arcs (and all after xy and oras). mostly because i never liked the timeline where sun and moon were 10+ years younger than the sinnoh trio. but also because it's fun to think about!!!

dp/pt takes place over roughly three months and sun/moon were trapped in ultra space for six months. the theory isn't perfect (coughrotomcough) but things do line up for plat to still be considered an only child when she leaves home. and older sister moon is :) very fun to think on. all the implications there.

o: !! i just.. i just caught on so. ok thats cool bc ive never noticed before!!!

so each of the puddles in the cavern show a rough map of sinnoh and define the other two lakes. verity's had me excited bc i thought the attached square represented the 4th lake at sendoff spring, but it's not. it's valor. valor is attached bc there's a waterway to the ocean on either side of it. you can't tell from this shot, but verity is the same way, bc theres also a waterway in either direction. acuity is the only one not directly connected, bc the only waterway is the one from mt. coronet that only goes to one side. the puddles in the lake caverns look like they do bc they're all maps of sinnoh's sea!!!!

thats why the lines go out like that!! they're all rivers and whatnot that lead directly to the ocean. and that explains why you can't find the lake trio in the lake itself! bc they're all in the bottom of the cavern's puddle, which is connected to the ocean itself!!!

that's also why just entering the cavern from the top entrance above the lake won't get you a guarantee at encountering the lake guardian. they're not in the top portion of the cavern at all, but down at the bottom, on the seafloor !!!!!!!

maybe. still a working theory but. i rly like this one
