Thinking about how One Piece is a story that is especially well suited to the medium in which it’s being told.

One of the central pillars of One Piece’s philosophy is actions over words. It values exploring and viewing the world for yourself and coming to your own conclusions. This is simply not a story that would work in a written format, both because it deliberately disvalues words and barbecue it puts us as the audience on an equal playing field with the characters as they explore the world. No matter how much time and dedication an author puts into describing the world their characters live in, those characters will always have more information about the world that we do because they can see it plainly for themselves without having to wait for each building to be described to them. An author in a written format controls the flow of information and can keep the setting as vague or detailed as they like to suit their needs. In a visual medium, there’s much less (albeit not none) room to hide.

And yet, this story also wouldn’t (and I expect won’t) work in a more conventional visual format like plays or movies. Both are too short to do the sheer scale of the story justice and too caught up in the limitations of reality. Yes, we can see people do fantastical things in these mediums but there is always a disconnect any time special effects have to be used as well as monetary concerns that will inevitably hinder a storytellers freedom and ability to tell the story as they wish. George R.R. Martin can write thousands upon thousands of people into being as he describes epic battles and country-wide conflicts but HBO has to actually find and pay all those thousands of people to make that happen on-screen. Which usually means it dosen’t.

One Piece has to be told as a manga or animated series. They’re the only mediums that can cater to this kind of cartoon-y fantastical world and story Oda has told with them.

The liverleaf art trend captivated me. So I drew a Gojo version of it

On Discomfort and Morality

My father finds gay men uncomfortable.

He's told me before that it's like a knee-jerk for him. Something he doesn't consciously control. He sees two men behaving romantically, and his body reacts with mild discomfort.

In the 1960s, when he was in high school, most of the boys in his form thought he was gay on the simple fact that he wasn't homophobic. He wouldn't participate in insulting queer people, he didn't care if someone was gay, he wouldn't have a problem hanging out with gay people. So people thought he was gay. That's how prevalent homophobia was in his formative years.

When I was 10, my dad told me very seriously that Holmes and Watson were gay. That it was obvious from the literature and the time period that they were meant to be a gay couple. When I was 14 and I came out to my parents as bi, when my mum was upset my dad ripped into her for it. Told her that she was being stupid, that it was my life to live how I wanted to and that she needed to get over herself.

My dad formed my views on censorship: that being that it was completely ridiculous and thoroughly evil. He didn't believe in censorship of any kind. If I asked him a question about sex, he answered it honestly. When I was 12 and I asked him about homosexuality, still young and uncertain, he told me that there was nothing wrong with it. That it was just how some people were. That there was likely an evolutionary reason for it. And that for some people it was uncomfortable on an instinctual level.

He taught me that just because you're uncomfortable with something, doesn't make it wrong. He also taught me that most people don't understand this.

I see a lot of this on the internet as of the last few years. The anti shipping movement, the terf movement, the anti ace movement. It all stems from discomfort that people have crossed wires into believing means wrong. Really every -ism and -phobia out there stems from this same fundamental aspect of humanity.

The next time you see something and you automatically think it's disgusting, or wrong, or immoral, I invite you to ask yourself: is this actually wrong or does this just make me uncomfortable?

Jujutsu Thursdays are influencing me

Your personal triggers and squicks do not get to determine what kind of art other people make.

People make shit. It's what we do. We make shit to explore, to inspire, to explain, to understand, but also to cope, to process, to educate, to warn, to go, "hey, wouldn't that be fucked up? Wild, right?"

Yes, sure, there are things that should be handled with care if they are used at all. But plenty more things are subjective. Some things are just not going to be to your tastes. So go find something that is to your tastes and stop worrying so much about what other people are doing and trying to dictate universal moral precepts about art based on your personal triggers and squicks.

I find possession stories super fucking triggering if I encounter them without warning, especially if they function as a sexual abuse metaphor. I'm not over here campaigning for every horror artist to stop writing possession stories because they make me feel shaky and dissociated. I just check Does The Dog Die before watching certain genres, and I have my husband or roommate preview anything I think might upset me so they can give me more detail. And if I genuinely don't think I can't handle it, I don't watch it. It's that simple.

Season 2 of good omens pulled me put of art block. And these 2 wallpapers are my first illustrations in a while. Moreover, I’m satisfied with the result😭 after years of hating my own works. So thank you, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, for such an inspiring work
