So we all remember this moment from Jaya
It's an iconic moment for a reason, people love it so much so you see people make fanart of it or even get it tattooed on themselves, and it's understandable 'cause what Teech says here is kind... hopeful, inspirational even
Which is why the scene always felt so wrong to me, in a way I could not like put into words or explain why?? Like I wanted to be like "hey this guy isn't that bad, I agree with him!" and yet what Blackbeard says here didn't quite sit right with me?
But now, in-hindsight, I understand why
It's because Blackbeard is wrong
Like, from the begining, from when we're introduced to Blackbeard, he and Luffy are explicitly shown to be the polar opposites of each other in many ways (their taste in food being just one easy way to summarize it), including in ideals and beliefs
And while it would be so easy to think this scene was about showing that despite their differences Luffy and Blackbeard actually have one thing they agree on, one common ground
They don't
Luffy's dream has an end
And it's not just that, that's not the only reason he's the opposite of Blackbeard in this sense. If Luffy just keeps on dreaming of doing things, he will never achieve them, because achieving your dreams means the end of them
And think about how that reflects on the rest of the story
If people keep on dreaming of freedom, they will never be free
Nami's village would remain in Arlong's hands, rain would never fall in Alabasta again, the fire of Shandra would never be lit again, Water 7 will sink into the ocean, the kids on Punk Hazard would never see their parents again, the families of Dressrosa would never be reunited, Wano would remain under Kaidou's oppression, everyone on Fishman Island will remain at the bottom of the ocean and never see the true sun
The dream must end or the people can not go free
The darkness of night will break away The dream will end and the sun will rise
Sighs and stares longingly at my huge notes app document that contains each straw hats pokemon team that I have created
I will draw you one day… school is starting up again tmrw so hopefully I can draw you instead of paying attention in English…
Pupitar farts hard enough to launch itself in to the sky. Amazing
Just a wip for rn but like. Drawing horror makes me so happy like look at him!! Is he terrified? Surprised? Tired of killer’s bs? I draw his eye messed up, so nobody can tell, even me! Yayyy!
my headcanon is that swap sans is the only star sans who knows how social media works. he follows horror and killer on twitter. dust sends him vaguely threatening tiktoks. nightmare friend requested him on facebook once.
Bad Sansuary - Day 21 - Comfort
One of the rare moments those two aren’t fighting! I remember that a while ago I saw a headcanon that after going stage 3 or something he’d get tired and pass out so this was based off of that :))
Also!! Expect more traditional stuff for the prompts- I honestly forgot how fun traditional was, and considering I have no colored pencils or anything to color it with, I don’t really have to worry about as much detail as usual lol (it allows me more time to work on other stuff I gotta work on)

Just a little rambling about bad sansuary,,,,
1. I’m SO surprised I didn’t get burnout. Like I came real close in the final days but I made it!!!!
2. Something I like is that like. If you look from start to finish, you can see my art style and how I draw everybody progress. Like I love seeing that type of stuff sm and seeing it in my own art makes me so happy
3. I’m like. So shocked I got through it all??? Like not missing a day or anything???? Like bro I thought I wouldn’t last a week LOL
Moral of the story: uhhhhh it was fun I definitely wouldn’t do something like this again for a while, but maybe ill try this year’s inktober or something lol
Imagine the boys hanging around today and asking Nightmare where Cross is since they haven't seen him. Nightmare tells them Cross asked to be taken to a surface au today, that this was a holiday in his home au when they got to the surface and it seemed like he wanted to observe it in peace so Nightmare left him to it. None of the others ever saw the surface in their own worlds so they shrug it off, assuming it's probably some solemn thing he wants to attend out of respect as a royal guard.
Smash cut to Cross sitting in a park eating as many easter eggs as he can
