I’m writing more Zolu and if you’re wondering what the vibe is lemme give y’all a sneak peak at my thought process:
I was listening to Roadkill by Searows and looked over to see some of the dead flowers I’ve preserved and I thought “hmm, I feel like Luffy loves others in the same selfish manner in which we preserve flowers: he loves them too much to ever part with them and even in death he would still find beauty and use in their shape.” Also very inspired by a painting I’m making about a crow eating another dead crow on the side of the road (because is there any other greater act of love and mercy one can show on another in a cruel, mangling death by still giving them one last purpose in life?)
So yeah, luffy Pov all abt his view of death, love, devotion, and Zoro
I want this tattooed on my brain NOW
“Those two things can exist at the same time. Like you said, it's all—it's all tangled up together, you and me.”
double page spread for one of my favorite luzo fics of all time, poly philtatos (the most beloved by far) by my good friend - @swordsmans!
I knew I wanted to do a double page spread the second I finished this fic and I drafted abt a dozen ideas before landing on what would ultimately become this. There were so many snippets and moments I wanted to illustrate but I ended up doing more of an abstracted version of the fic as opposed to 1:1 drawings of scenes
funnily enough while the fic itself is told in zoros pov this spread is framed mostly through luffy’s eyes - his tears literally frame comp for their reunion, the moment he loses zoro, and the centerpiece of the first page which is this weird abstraction of him on the beach seeing zoros corpse-not-a-corpse in the waves just beyond his reach.
gyro put the crane wives’ never love an anchor on the playlist for this fic which i heavily used as inspiration in picking ornamental things for the spread (the anchor, the fleet of ships by luffy, and the nautical rope splitting the second page). also just like. overall really heartbreaking lyrics guys
there are smaller elements throughout the spread that are 1:1 references though (all i will say for these is if you know, you know hehe) i wish i had more time to do a lengthier piece for fanart for this fic bc it's one of the few luzo fics that have been rattling around in my brain forever now - once again please please please read poly philtatos if you haven't. gyro is a masterful writer and they deserve all the love! ok byeee
cannot believe that back in Alabasta when they were wondering around in the desert Zoro told Chopper that a new purpose had emerged for him but he wasn’t really sure how to explain it whilst staring at Luffy. and i’m just expected to be normal about that.
Listening to Sailor Song by Gigi Perez picturing Namivivi and Zolu like the lesbian yearner I am
Couldn't fight the lesbian urge to draw Boa Hancock fawning over a a random OC
Timeskip Togachako because I needed to put them TOGETHER 🩸🪐
Hey gang, I learned this cool fact so you don’t have to:
If you have POTs and you’re getting a filling or anything that requires a local anesthetic— ask them if it contains epinephrine
Epinephrine, ie—adrenaline—DOES NOT MIX WITH POTS
It’s not common knowledge for most dentists and doctors so give them a heads up so you can get an alternative
Bc the result is the worst POTs flare ever….trust me
My bpm went from 95 to 165 after the injection and it was NOT a cool, chill time
In conclusion:
POTs + epinephrine = NOT A FUN TIME

I’m simple, I listen to a song about non-sexual intimacy and I think of zolu yearnings
This is my contribution to society
Me scouring the internet for content abt a ship I like
“Please….please just one thing that portrays them as the losers and nerds they are.”
I love how complex the dynamics of the Todoroki family are, like mha messed up a lot of things but the Todorokis are so well thought out. They exist independently from one another in a way that most fiction fails to capture. Each of the kids had very different relationships and experiences with their parents and it’s affected them all differently.
People love to say Shouto and Touya are similar but I think they are extremely different because of one detail: Touya knew what a happy family felt like. Before his quirk hurt him his parents adored him and were seemingly happy with each other. He was his father’s greatest achievement and Enji built him up, told him his whole life that he was going to be the best, trained him, praised him. He knew happiness, even if it coincided with physical abuse and unreasonable expectations to put on a child. Overnight he went from being abused but not neglected to neglected but not abused. He continued trying to train himself because for him pain and injury was already a part of his life, he didn’t see a reason for a few burns to stop him because he had probably been told that they shouldn’t by Enji before the truth of his quirk came to light. Touya’s feelings towards Enji are very different from Shouto’s because of this.
Shouto doesn’t seek revenge against his father the same way Touya does, not because Touya suffered more at his hands or because Shouto’s an inherently kind person, but because he never loved Enji. He was an abusive piece of shit for Shouto’s whole life. Touya hates Endeavor because he used to love him. He lives for revenge, his life and goals revolve around bringing down his father, proving himself and hurting the man who hurt him. Shouto would be happy to never even think of Endeavor again. Doesn’t want to see him, doesn’t want anyone to think of his father when the see him, doesn’t want anything at all to do with him. He’s indifferent to Enji’s existence as long as it isn’t immediately impacting him.
Touya and Shouto suffered similar abuse from their father but that key difference of ever feeling loved is what makes them so different. In the end Enji’s love and affection is the reason Touya went crazy, losing something is much harder than never having it in the first place. If Enji hadn’t just stopped spending time with Touya it would’ve been different. If he’d made the effort to really get Touya to understand and not expect overnight results… well it would’ve been a very different story.
Why is it that ppl just post abt dieting with pcos…
Like I don’t need diet information I need memes abt the existential dread of knowing that my body cannot function properly
