Give Him The Father Of The Year Award Now

I had a rough day. Bartender, one glass of the characters kissing, please

I head a sudden itch to draw a bunch of Law and Sanji pics... Gladly I have number of ref pictures with couples saved on Pinterest...

Guess this is how my studies attempt look like.

I could not possibly pass by this one.

the pinterest ref https://pin.it/1vsbT49ap

I tried to find the source of the pin but failed. :(

Haha... I always forget to sign my works :) this one too.

was gonna make a post abt usopp w an image attached but all the images i had saved were too cute so we gotta not do that or i’ll fold and not make the point i wanna make

i can see why people wouldn’t wanna do this because of the insane insane insane INSANE amount of hate he already gets from powerscaling types of people but i wish we as usopp fans would aknowledge the ways that he sucks, a little more. i understand wanting to adopt a ‘my precious baby boy who did nothing wrong’ attitude in the face of all the people who refuse to see even a sliver of good in his character but like….. he is flawed. i wish we could aknowledge that more in a like, normal way.

like, other characters right. like sanji. very common for people to call him a bastard and say they love him in the same sentence. makes sense, the ways in which sanji sucks are a lot lot lot lot more viscerally uncomfortable to deal with than the ways in which usopp sucks.

but a lot of usopp’s flaws are my flaws, so i guess that’s why it feels personal to me. he is so viscerally me and he is so complicated and he is so viscerally still loved by his crew and that’s really special to me. i’m not saying quit the ‘he did nothing wrong’ posts because they’re funny and fun and i get that, but it kinda reminds me of what people do with some female characters too where to combat the hate they just girlbossify the shit out of them and it can feel idk, like a slightly less interesting way to engage with a character who is flawed

TLDR: usopp kind of sucks!!! and i love him!!!!!!!!!!!

One of my favorite details about Kid is how his nose is always scrunched. That man is snarling at all times he's so feral.

i’m so in love with him it’s not funny

I made Blackbeard so slayyyyy

Average day on social media...

When he- when HE

I'm feral for them rn

like man, I'm still not.... over it??

the arc is so important to middle easterners.

it's the reason the anime got a dub into arab. it's the reason why there are so many fans over there. why the turkish manga translation is so carefully handled.

this arc one of the very, very, VERY few times that they/we are shown in a really good light. as a strong princess. as a fair king. as kind and passionate people.

it is all for nothing if this ends up being the casting. if they end up removing most of the architecture and clothes and cast a doll-faced british-indian actress with pretty girl charisma as our fierce desert princess.

even more so bc it's oda making light of the intentions with which he originally wrote the arc while similar situations of western colonialism/influence are devastating the lives of millions of middle easterners right now.

what a cowardly path to pick. what a half-hearted statement to make.

what an utter shame.
