been seeing a lot of people talking about how weird jax was in the recent tadc episode, and i wanted to share my thoughts about it

to me, this whole episode was about masking, both in a literal sense and an emotional sense, and what happens when people can't mask anymore. it was mostly focused on gangle, and how she's trying to keep herself together and happy despite not feeling that way, but i also think this theme spread to the other characters as well.

there are a handful of characters that i think mask, or hide themselves more than the others. starting off with zooble, who hides in their room because they don't feel comfortable with themself, being forced to interact with the others and do the adventure.

then, ragatha, who tries so hard to make others like her and saying what she thinks they want to hear, ends up drugged or drunk or whatever which takes away her filter and causes her to say what she really thinks.

finally, jax, who i think values control, which is almost impossible to get in a place where your whole life is controlled by someone else. so he acts a certain way and he does what he can to get whatever amount of control that he can over a situation to prove that the digital circus doesn't have full power over him. sometimes i think he acts like a jerk as a way to control what others hate about him, instead of them hating him for things he can't control. some form of coping mechanism or smth, but i don't think we know enough about jax to say that for sure. he might just be a jerk for the fun of it.

but he loses that control in this episode. gangle, the one person he has the most power over out of the group, now has power over him and when he pushed back against that, she sent him to the training room where he was physically restrained and forced to watch the training video. that's why i think he was so off this episode. because his way of coping with being stuck in the circus wasn't working and there was nothing he could do about it

but hey, that's just a theory

I found these AMAZING WOY sketches drawn by Craig McCracken! They feature the OG 2009 designs for Wander, Sylvia and Lord Hater from Craig’s original unfinished graphic novel, “Wander Over Yonder: Into The Cold Black Heart of Hate.” As well as the designs for the OG 2011 pilot.

(The sticky note drawings at the top is the current version of Wander we all know and love.)

Roronoa Zoro

“ummmmm ur bra strap is showing :/ ”

headcanon that zoro knows all the sea shanties because during his time as a bounty hunter he would sit in bars and listen to his targets sing and get drunk, and luffy is the only one who knows because while they were a crew of two, luffy would sing whatever he remembered and zoro would laugh and say "that's not how it goes" and now luffy is the only one he's willing to sing for/with when brook comes and sings, sometimes luffy will sit next to zoro because zoro will sing with brook under his breath

also, i think that after the timeskip when zoro smiles less and fights more he also stopped singing, and luffy does what he can to get him to sing again

whether zoro is a good singer or not is up to you

@zoolitsky-fandom this is for you

Are the particles blood? Rose petals? Red ash thingies? Up to you!!!

Tbh I did NOT want to draw him shirtless but I wanted to experiment with scar placements so… sigh…..

I didn’t draw his chest tho bc I know y’all simps would get all slobbery about it 🤨🤨🤨

I’m on the verge of disliking this drawing but I think it’s decent for being a finger drawing. My iPad’s storage is out of wack so I’ve been having to get used to drawing with my finger again sobs

*looks at sherlock* it’s very smoll
