Hear Me Out

I can't believe that I have this posted EVERYWHERE, and even have this sat as my profile picture here, but never made an official post on it! :0 Well, better late than never I guess, lol. Anyways, jumping right in, this little gremlin right here is Bernice. While she made look like she's sweet and cutesy and very she/nervous (which she really can be at times) she is actually a revolutionary and ally to Whitebeard's crew. You'll learn about her more as I post her introduction comic, but yeah. (Also, yes, eventually she does pick one group over the other, but not willingly. due to certain...circumstances, she actually resigns her position with one of the two and does try to game over someone over what happened. Not saying who she leaves or who she decides to take on, but it definitely isn't what you'd be expecting. Lol.) But yeah, Take this gremlin for now. Dudes, we need more oc with plain hair colors/brown hair colors and actually beauty blemishes. Ocs with brown hair are SEVERELY underrated, but ocs with multiple little moles/accurate freckles are even MORE disgustingly underrated. The same with female ocs with short hair- (This is my far cry for you peeps that have ocs with any of these things to tag me in them, lol. Or even just tag me in them in general, I need new artists to follow on here XD)

I love doing research for my ocs :3

So apparently this was a flop over on Cara (aka, I think that I jsut posted at a time that no one was on, so they didn't really notice the post, lol) so I'm posting it here because I really want you peeps to know how much love I actually put into making my ocs!

So, I've said on all of my platforms, all of my ocs do have disorders or medical issues in one way or another. And with each of these disorders, I actually do a thorough amount of research before I officially post the information. (And yes, Lee's info is actually out. I posted it up on my Wattpad. Just as an fyi, you will be a minute reading all of it. There's a lot, lol) So, I'm just going to jump right into things. Up first on the roster is their blood types. I know, I sound crazy, but surprisingly, there is some research that goes into the blood types I assign my ocs. It depends on if they have a blood disorder (such as Pandora and Tonta with their heart problems) or their personality traits. Yes, you heard- well, read- correctly. Their personality traits actually play a HUGE part into their blood types. There are studies out there that a few groups have done that proves certain blood types have generalized similarities in personality traits. In Lee's information, I have her listed as A- for her blood type because people with that blood type actually are very introverted people. They're independent to an extent and are very reserved. To those of you that have read up on her (or have followed her development since day one of me creating her-) you can't say that DOESN'T describe her.

I also do research into the names as well. Lee's full name is Lee Ganji, which when translated separately, her first name translate to 'meadow' while her last name translates to 'two beginnings'. This plays a huge part in her info since her own crew's name she was originally the captain of was the 'Meadow Pirates', and after she lost them she got recruited to Kidd's crew- hence the reasoning for her lasty name.

In the way of medical problems, Lee has VCD (Vocal Cord Dysfunction). This is actually something I have, and it is pretty common. Basically, it's a condition that mimics asthma but directly causes the vocal cords to flutter and cause breathing issues. No, it's not a birth defect/ something you're born with, and yes it is treatable through simple speech therapy (or other medical protocol/ therapy). A lot of the time, this can happen from basic things like coughing, your drink 'going down the wrong way', and multiple other reasons.

However in Lee's case, because she doesn't talk very much, VCD is something she's pretty much stuck with. Now for her information, I did make it a bit more dramatic and have it play into a lot of the reason she doesn't talk. Is it that intense in reality? No, not really. (Like I said, I have it, and I still run around like an unhinged maniac on days since sitting still isn't an option, lol. All it does is effect your breathing mostly.) (I've also recently found out that vcd does occur more commonly in women than men, and even more so with women that has phycological problems. Unfortunately, this is also accurate to Lee's info since she does suffer with survivor's guilt.)

As for Pandora and her son, Tonta, their medical condition is quite…unique. And yes, this is also an actual thing. So, getting into their info, Pandora and Tonta were both born with their hearts on the right side of their chest instead of the left. This is a lot of the reason as to why Pandora has multiple scars on the left side of her where her heart 'should' be.

In reality, less than 1% of people in the world actually have this, and unfortunately, this does come with quite a few health risks. (How wouldn't it? Your body basically decided to play Yahtzee with your insides and mixed everything up. Of course there's going to be major repercussions with it.) The official name for this is 'dextrocardia'. And one of the main side effects that go along with this is 'Pallor'. To sum this up, this is a condition where the skin appears paler than normal. This actually has a lot to do with Pandora's appearance. While Tonta doesn't have it, Pandora does because 1. There are a few female problems that do tie into Pallor, and 2. She is the main and first family member to have dextrocardia. Hence the reason it's a lot stronger with her than Tonta. Now, does that mean it's hereditary? No. Somehow Tonta ended up with the same problem by luck, not genetics. So, in other words, Tonta and Pandora have their hearts on the right side of them by pure coincidence, not by hereditary development. (Their family's curse, however? Now that's a different story entirely-)

As of currently, I am in the works of fleshing out Bernice's info since she's my favorite little gremlin bean. (But to be fair, I have too many videos I plan to make of memes for her and Thatch just sharing a brain cell, so as of currently I don't really have any medical conditions really thought out. I mean she does eventually take phycological at some point n her info (and it double dips in the canon timeline to One Piece with what happens to Thatch :( ) But I think that she'll actually be a perfectly healthy oc for once with no problems! :D

Ack, I'm glad that I finally got to share that in its entirety! >v<

Also! Since I am still holding out until the first of this year to grind out art, here are the pictures of each of my ocs in case you don't know who I'm babbling on about!

This is a WIP, but this is Lee (She is normally shipped with Heat on Kidd's crew.)

This is Bernice, She's a revolutionary, but eventually becomes an ally to Whitebeard's crew since she doesn't want to become a nurse or cook on the crew and wants to keep her ability to fight (She ate a devil fruit. of course she's gonna want to fight >:3)

The mean looking lady is Pandora, and the boy is her son. She's a Marine Admiral. She's neutral and humane with criminals. But if you even threaten to touch her son, civilian or criminal, Just know you'll be losing more of your arm than Shanks did to a sea king. (The woman's known for her strength with just her bare hands and has, in fact, ripped a man's arm clean off up to the shoulder joint after testing her :D)

....I have been misinformed

Today is actually Sabo's birthday, Thatch's is next week.

At least I remembered my dog's:')

I have two moods

You can take this as a vent? As much as I wanna say that it isn't, it kind of is...if that makes sense- Basically, to sum up a lot of my absence from social media, apparently I have depression :D I didn't think that I did, buuuuttt I've gone to the doctor's over it, and a lot of the health problems are have basically tie into depression...so here we are now! Yes, I'm working on it. Yes, it's a lot. Unfortunately, I don't really feel comfortable talking about it/what's led me to this point (which is saying something since I have a therapist and feel uncomfortable opening up to even them about it-) Bottom line: I should, SHOULD, be back to my regular schedule soon...I hope- (and if I disappear again, then you guys know why XD)

THESE- (These are great XD)

A few random whitebeard’s headcanons:

- In hot weather Atoms can be seen laying flat on his back sunbathing no matter how busy it gets on the main deck

- Whitebeard actually likes to banter with his kids about his health, it’s a guilty pleasure seeing his kids worry about him (smh someone get this old man)

- Rakuyo frequently overhears crew members secrets purely by accident. Rakuyo had trouble keeping it to himself so he avoided long conversations, worried it’ll slip out, cause when he starts talking he can’t stop, having no control of what comes out, but he found comfort in telling it all to Curiel, Curiel doesn’t care for rumors or secrets so he doesn’t mind having Rokuyo act as personal podcast while he works

- Haruta enjoys mysteries from mystery books, mysterious rumors, to Mysterious islands. He’s all up for it until it gets too paranormal, he’ll try to disprove it but once he can’t, it scares the crap out of him. (He’ll be thinking about it for weeks)

- Thatch loves telling spooky stories, he’s so good at telling them that he scares himself sometimes (Marco is tired of him having “surprise sleepovers” in his room (with the addition of Haruta and Jozu sometimes) these nights he actually go to sleep on time instead of pulling another all nighter to finish paperwork)

- Jozu is naturally superstitious and Thatch’s stories doesn’t help one bit, he gets struck with insomnia some nights (you can catch him asking Thatch was the stories true the next day or asking his other brothers if they believe it’s true, he just needs a bit of reassurance)

- Whitey bay bought all of Haruta clothes when he joined, she daunted on him a lot when he was younger, he ended up with her taste in clothes and some of her personality

- Izo has to make his kimonos himself, it’s one of the many forms of art he enjoys but like any artist, he’s got bad spending habits, spending chunks of his funds on different textured n patterned fabrics, different threads, and whatever else the shop owners swore he needed, he started giving half his money to Marco to hold for some type of control.

- Izo wrote many letters to Kiku, so many it could’ve became a travel log, it was later burned up with the moby during the paramount war.

- Rakuyo loves cats but has cat allergies, he sneezes like crazy with his eyes watering with no control as he nuzzles a kitten.

- Kingdew has pollen allergies, also of sneezing variety.

- Vista has an affinity for cats, he doesn’t take any in because of how of Rakuyo gets.

- Thatch has an affinity for all animals especially the large vicious ones, “Why bad if friend shaped” mentality. (He’d fold immediately if he seen a lion taking a nap with its paws covering it’s face)

- Marco has an affinity for birds (ofc) but gets irritated with them if they come bothering him too much, he still ends up feeding them. When he’s grumbling about the birds Thatch calls it “family drama”.

- Blamenco’s whole division holds pride in their craft, him included, they got a friendly rivalry with galley la workers (even though some of them are from galley la, it’s fun to to talk shit even if it’s your old friends) Galley la is always loud with banter and laughter when they come by to pick up materials.

Mission failed.

Based on @mangyraccooon's prompt! ♥

So, I haven't actually posted this anywhere else at the moment, but this is actually a design I've made for my sister's baking business. I am actually going to look into making her a few business cards as well since she does get regulars to order from her and has only been sending her information via messages. But anyways, yeah. I actually made her a much, MUCH older design before (which was towards the beginning of my schooling for my degree. So about 3-4 years ago?) and as much as she's told me that she's perfectly fine with it, I personally wasn't all too happy with how it turned out, especially with the time crunch that I was on to get it to her. So, I'm surprising her with a new logo! In my honest opinion, I think it looks A LOT better than the original one I made. It still feels a bit bare, but the problem is with it, I wanted to try and fit the things that she makes into the picture and stick to what she specializes in rather than make this huge misleading piece for people. I dunno, maybe it could've used a little more 'pop' with a few other colored sprinkles or maybe adding something on the opposite side. Either way, I'm much happier with this, and I'm sure she'll be just as happy with it as well. (And don't worry, I'm giving her a copy of the picture that doesn't have my watermark over it, I just am posting this one here to avoid art theft, lol) On another note, if you come across this and you happen to have your own small business that you'd like a logo design commissioned, please don't be afraid to reach out to me! I'm willing to negotiate pricing and the complexity of the logo!

THISSSSSS- Their design is so fun, ahhh!! >v<

(P.S. Since a lot of you peeps that follow me like oc x cannon stuff, you should also follow them, they have quite a bit!! :3)

One Piece OC

Magma Egghead 🥚

If you want to see more content about Magma: click here ♡

I have already mentioned in my previous posts that Magma joined Vegapunk on Egghead after the events of Whole Cake Island.

So, to celebrate the return of One Piece anime, I decided to post her Egghead outfit 💚

Do not copy, retrace or use my art without my consent !

I did a thing, and apparently Rakuyo has become my new favorite to draw next to Heat.

LOOK AT THIS MAN, DUDE-

ACK- HIS HAIR IS SO FUN!!!

I did a doodle of Heat next to him because I will never get off of being a simp for him XD

Their moods are polar opposites, ones a certified yapper while the other is just done and is a hop skip and jump away from shoving his boot in his mouth, lol.

I also did a few doodles of a couple other members of Whitebeard's crew, but I'm honestly not all too happy with them. Keep in mind, they are the first time I've drawn them, so these are kind of my WIP interpretations of them for my artstyle :3

The last little chick is actually irl me. I drew these a couple of weeks ago when I was sick and that's how I decided to cope, lol.

Corazon as a Corazon

Hey, my peeps! I'm posting back here again with an actual art piece this time. *gasp* Yes, and ACTUAL FINISHED ART PIECE! Not one of my normal little doodles, and not one of my base colors silly drawings, and ACTUAL attempted finished drawing. I can't really say that it's a finished drawing since it was actually a sketch that I did at the beginning of last year, but oh well XD Just a bit of context with this: Long story short, when I was posting art on my IG account, I actually put out a small ask box asking people for cursed ideas to draw. And while only one person had commented on it, my brother was actually the one to recommend this idea to me, so that's how 'Corazon as a Corazon' had came to be. Did I actually intend for this to be a Valentine's day post? No, no I did not. Did it end up becoming one? Yes, Yes it did. Why? Because, you can't tell me this man wasn't made for the holiday, plus it was too perfect of timing and an opportunity to NOT make the post for Valentine's day! Ok, I shall scurry back off into my cave for another eon while I try to find the next piece of art I'll be putting out next week, lol.
