Ehehehehehe lookit him!!!!! The boy!!!! He!!
Found this figure in akihabara during a class trip to Tokyo and even though my luggage was pretty stuffed already I couldn’t resist,, maybe it’s a good thing they only had sabo and luffy in stock because if they had Ace as well I definitely would have been spending thrice as much

I’m actually. Really incredibly angry about this whole situation. I think I’ve already vented plenty of other places but this is weighing very heavily on my mind.
For context, we’re a small school, with an understaffed and likely underfunded admissions office. As a result the students they hire end up getting a lot of freedoms with regards to their tour routes and how they interact with admitted students, which is nice, but because there’s very little structure in the school’s marketing and promotions department. All of it is essentially left up to a single admissions officer (who does not have graphic design training) and four students, of which I am basically the only illustrator/graphic designer, as the other students mostly focus on video content.
And I’m busy. If you follow me you’ve definitely seen the posts I’ve made about dying from schoolwork. Admissions art is not a priority for me, and I can readily admit that I don’t do the assignments they give me on time sometimes because I know they’d have difficult finding another artist if they fired me from the team— I literally designed their current mascot, and am the only artist they have on payroll currently.
So I can understand completely where the person who used AI art in the email is coming from. They don’t want to give me more work than I can handle; I get it. But using me as a justification for using AI art to other people is really, really, really disheartening. It makes me feel like the onus of the institution’s falling reputation with regard to art, and the reason why this person used AI art in the first place, falls on my incapability to produce more art.
Artists are seeing this art and complaining, and people are all chiming in with, what do you expect? It’s a tech school. But in the midst of all this, this person wants to hire more artists and continues encouraging students to apply for the positions because I’m the only artist they have right now. So why would you further alienate the possible artists that could join the school by using AI art?
I don’t know. I’m just so incredibly done. I really hope that I can affect some actual change in the admissions office’s policies regarding the use of AI art but it shouldn’t be my responsibility in the first place to inform them about ethical issues.

I read through that a Demon Among Devils fic you mentioned in a post, and it was really awesome! Unfortunate it wasn't continued, but I agree with you on the depiction of Minato's character! It was a really fun read, though I probably should have taken my time with it rather than blitz through it aha...
Tumblr media
I. COMPLETELY FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE FIC IS UNFINISHED AND ABANDONED LMAO. Sorry about that! In my defense I think it ends at a pretty good stopping point! I’m glad you enjoyed reading it though! It really does lend itself well to binge reading!

More king sabo au :) thinking about the changes to the sabo koala relationship…
So plot-wise, this is after the second reverie that Sabo ever attends, at the age of 22. This is also the reverie where a lot of shit goes down— the five elders kill king cobra, Vivi and Wapol go into hiding with Morgans, and the Revolutionary Army invades and successfully declares war on the Celestial Dragons, and retrieves Kuma.
In this AU, Sabo manages to befriend Vivi by talking about Luffy, and finds a way to hide and watch the confrontation between Cobra and the five elders + Imu, the way that Wapol did. But perhaps not quite as thoroughly, so he’s seen, and forced to hide, and cannot return to Goa. Unfortunately Cobra is not saved, as Sabo isn’t strong enough without his years of training as a Rev to even attempt to save Cobra. But Sabo manages to hitch a ride to Kamabakka with the Revs, most likely as a stowaway, and reveals to them as soon as they land about what he saw. Dragon agrees that it’s unsafe for him to return to Goa, and lets him stay with the Revs for the time being as he figures out what to do next.
Now during this time, Koala, soon to be promoted to Chief of Staff, meets him. But she is also incredibly angry at him, and takes it out through “friendly spars” that Sabo agrees to because he wants to get stronger. It’s through these spars that he eventually returns to being able to wield a pipe with proficiency, but the first few really are just him getting absolutely destroyed by Koala.
This all comes to a head at some point when Sabo asks why Koala always beats him down so thoroughly— so angrily— when they spar, and they end up getting into an argument over ideology during a spar. Koala asks, what reason does she have to not be angry at him? He, who became king to a country under some misguided notion that he could help people, who has been king for 5 years and yet has not been able to make any substantial changes to Goa that would help the people. What has Sabo achieved, beyond becoming one of the people that the Revolution seeks to overthrow? Did he have slaves at the castle? Did he ever try to free them?
The problem is that Sabo could have become a Revolutionary much much sooner. He could have asked, and the Revolutionary Army would have sent a small team or something to extract him—he was a strong child and he is still pretty strong, and his heart’s in the right place. But at some point Sabo fell into so many logical fallacies, that he was weak, that he was trapped, that even if he ran he would never escape his noble upbringing, that eventually he believed that the only way he could be useful was as an informant, and in the meantime, clung to and maybe even enjoyed the luxuries he could have as a young noble in Goa.
This verbal (and physical) beatdown from Koala is what eventually gets him to ask Dragon if he can become a Revolutionary. Dragon says that the Revolution has always had its arms open for him.

Do you have a favorite fanfiction of all time?
I do, actually! It might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I’ve reread it so many times and I always enjoy it! The fic in question is a crossover between Persona 3 and High School DxD, called A Demon Among Devils. It’s pretty standard fare as far as crossovers for Persona 3 go, where Minato is essentially isekai’d to the world of HSDxD after Elizabeth finds a way to free him from the Great Seal. I’ve never actually seen any content for HSDxD outside of this fic, and that might be exactly why I like it so much, haha.
Tumblr media
While the premise of the crossover is pretty standard, I think where this fic excels is the execution! There is a lot of character development to go around and the relationships feel like they develop reasonably naturally. Minato being overpowered is a given, because he’s already completed his journey, but they find interesting ways to have his powers interact with the world, because having archangels and archdemons living in his mind really throws a wrench into a lot of things in HSDxD. Not to mention, the worldbuilding is impeccable! I’ve never actually interacted with HSDxD in any capacity but the interactions in this fic of heaven and hell and the church and knightly orders that work for the church are fascinating.
This is, in my opinion, the closest to how I think Minato’s character is. He’s tired, he really doesn’t want to interfere with things that shouldn’t concern him given that his journey is over and he just wants to relax, but he’s a good person inevitably drawn into conflict, only to find that the meaningful relationships he creates in the heat of conflict are what motivate him to keep living.
As far as crossovers go, it’s the gold standard to me. Good character studies, good world building, readable without too much knowledge in either franchise, and very entertaining. And minimal romance to the point that I think it is ignorable :)

I just need to tell u that whenever u reply to my asks with massive blocks of text I get so damn excited, like making a high pitched eeeeeee sound and kicking my feet excited. Especially when there’s a little doodle attached 🙏
Tumblr media
Anon thank you so much sdjfhdhsdfh it gives me Immeasurable Joy to receive asks that I can ramble a lot on and have people appreciate! I really really love receiving and answering asks and I’m very glad that you enjoy the little doodles! I forget when I started making them but they’re really fun to make and definitely helped me simplify my goodnotes doodling style a lot! Since I’ve made a habit of it I try to not answer asks until I have a little doodle to go along with them! :D
I think I tend to be a lot less averse to rambling on tumblr than I do anywhere else even with my own friends because even if they’re fine with me rambling they don’t really get it sometimes and that’s fine and I’m glad that they listen but tumblr has a very dear sense of community in the way that people respond in the tags and replies and send in more asks! I really love seeing people’s responses and stuff because even though I’m too nervous to talk directly to people usually it feels like I’m getting in some daily or weekly quota of interacting with people normally when they respond to my work or my answers to asks :)
But yes I’m very very glad that my responses spark joy, thank you very much for sending asks <3
