the truly bizzare part of being a proffesional lurker on tumblr, is that i have witnessed some weird events, from the 4chan wars and dashcon, to superwholock and the onsler era, none of which would make any amount of sence to anyone not terminally online

Xue Yang wasn't sure why the old woman insisted on him putting up a market stall when no one came around, and most likely never would come around, these parts. As if putting it near the entrance of the town would make any difference! The fog was thick and bothersome, fog that had only reappeared when he had, and the land was marked as cursed as a result; nobody would come here willingly.
And besides, who would want to buy talismans from a place like this? They would surely only bring bad luck— yet the old bat had said it would give him something to do, and had insisted he leave her alone for a while and busy himself with this instead.
Said it would drive more commerce if he advertised her shop, too.
What was wrong with how they'd been doing it before? Why did people have to come here, instead of him delivering the goods to any nearby towns? Surely she was just having him do this to laugh at him later. Get back at him for... Well, everything, really.
And yet, despite all these thoughts, he saw someone move within the fog. Taken utterly by surprise, he would've laughed if he hadn't thought it was most likely because they were lost, and he was about to call out to them...
When the fog dispersed enough to give him a glimpse of who they were.
Breath caught in his throat as his heartbeat spiked, he stepped away from the comically placed stall and let the swirling gray engulf him.

A matchbox label fit to spark joy, er I mean fit to light restaurant table candles on your own (not necessarily at Ritz).
(inspired by vintage matchbox labels and actually fit to print and decorate your own tiny box after a bit of resizing~)

Simple sketches of the loves. Oda draws Law like a 6 year old when that little guy is like 13 right?? He’s a shitty little traumatized 13 year old??? I wanted to draw him more 13 and less baby (though I won’t lie I love all the art of little law all small and squish).
Edit: I just got to dressrosa btw and haven't formally watched Laws back story. All I know is through fandom osmosis 😔✌️. But I can't help myself from drawing them, my beloveds.
Psst... Commissions Open

Something I’ve been thinking about lately is that small moment in “Air Turtle” where immediately after the Daves lose yet another game, Leo says how sorry he is and how he’s doing his best as the mascot. This moment is so short but it’s honestly jam-packed with a whole heap of characterization.
His need to apologize for things clearly not his fault - especially when it feels like he messes up the job he was given despite doing the best he can (the phrase “it’s not about you” takes a new meaning when this is one of the lessons to be learned from that - that he is not always solely responsible for things going wrong), his need to save face and make a connection with an older adult man in his life (something he consistently does throughout the series - he’s got a few daddy issues, always collecting potential father figures, it’s no wonder he jumps at the bit to keep rapport), and the way he sounds and looks and the words he chooses really pushes how he is just a kid (“Mr. the Dunk, I’m so sorry”).
Like I know it’s a one off moment that doesn’t truly mean much, but when put against the rest of the series it works really well with the rest of Leo’s established character and helps in solidifying later concepts as well.

The new job is going well for anyone who is interested in my personal life. My office is all cozy and decorated and waiting for a little writing to happen.
The downside to this place is EVERYONE leaves their doors open to chit chat and they are SO LOUD. I tried.I really did- but 45 minutes into arriving, I had to close my door. Do not talk to me, actually.
