So I’ve noticed that in this fandom it’s common to include Deaf/ASL-using-characters into stories, which is honestly AMAZING and makes me SO HAPPY TO SEE, but many of us aren’t deaf we rely on resources, therefore:
My ASL teacher gave us this website cause it’s updates constantly (ASL evolves lots) and it’s a lot more accurate and reliable than just google :))
To work it- type the word, and a word bank will pull up, click on the term u want and a video/description of the sign and word will appear!!!
It’s rlly simple and has most words and if it doesn’t it’s bc it’s finger spelled probs!!!!
If u want more in-depth good grammar, search up “five parameters ASL”, “glossing in ASL” and watch a few videos to see “how sentence structure differs in ASL”
As always, remember it’s ok to make mistakes/notice a mistake, just be mindful and kind :D most of us aren’t out for malice and if someone is it’ll probs be very obv 😭
Happy Creating!!

hi hi, i was wondering whether you're alright with people writing aus based on your art? specifically your (genius) message in a bottle story. obviously including credit! i've been scribbling about it for the last couple of days and want to make sure that's alright with you before i put anything on ao3. much love and no pressure <3
OMG!! Yes absolutely! That sounds exciting!!
I am gonna use this as an overall permission for people to make art based on my Bottle AU. Obviously would appreciate it if you could credit me, but anything past that is up to your own creativity.
I am excited about my little story inspiring people and any kind of medium coming out of this!
(Also I would very much appreciate a link or name whenever you do upload something you got me really curious /nf ʕ⊙ᴥ⊙ʔ )

Thought I’d post these, the third one is just kind of a tangent, but why not share?
I might make another part on the show’s mouths but that’s pretty basic stuff, idk what I’d write. So it’s a strong maybe…
How did I not share this here yet?
uh.. ghost hunter Roronoa Zoro?
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

fic where luffy did come down with a terminal diagnosis and everyone's obvious reaction is 'we're going to save u we're going to find a way to make u better' (esp chopper who's whole thing is trying to cure the uncureable, especially after hiriluk) but luffy (who laughs in the face of death) is just like. is this not fate? and basically orders them to continue life as normal. captains order let's keep having fun :D and zoro just straight up disappears. the rest of the crew is appalled, especially as luffy gets sicker and sicker because wouldn't the first mate want to spend as much time with his captain as possible? be by his side at the end? n eventually zoro does show up, but its with a bag full of medicine/ingredients (cherry blossoms?) and he's essentially goes 'i've followed your orders without fail for years. not this time.' and it ends happy bc i can't stand sad things <3
