"Sunlight Here and Shadows There"

This one ended up being much longer than most of the other epilogues, but I suppose I had a lot to say about the kittens. I've always been really fond of their designs and personalities, so I wanted to dig into what they might do when they grow up. They occupied an interesting place in the story - more of plot devices than characters, putting pressure on the rest of the characters whether it was about who'd they mate with someday or how to feed them properly. I like em a lot!

From this issue on, I'll be disusing the tag "bluebellkit" and replacing it with "sky", although it'll still be available for old posts. Please only refer to Sky with that name and he/him pronouns!

This title is from Jerome Bixby's story "It's a Good Life" - my all time favorite sci-fi short story: “He had made rocks and trees and bushes and caves, and sunlight here and shadows there, because he had felt in all the tiny minds around the desire - or instinctive want - for this kind of resting place, and that kind of mating place, and this kind of place to play, and that kind of home.”

idk moodboard

Do you think Zoro has ever looked at Rayleigh and felt his insides freeze from fear? Do you think he sees a version of his own future where despite everything he’s tried, despite all the blood he’s shed and would go on to shed, his captain would still slip away from his hold — and he’d be left adrift for the rest of his days, drinking to oblivion, alone, bereft of any and all purpose?

Or do you think Zoro would be filled with contempt instead, and disgust at how the peerless Dark King failed to save his own captain’s life, even though it was no fault of his? Do you think Zoro, possessing the stubbornness and bravado of a much younger man, would insist that if it were him, nothing — absolutely no man or force in the universe — would be strong enough to rend him from Luffy’s side, and if Luffy had to die like Roger had to die, that Zoro would simply follow him to the afterlife?

Or do you think perhaps he’s unable to picture it at all — a life without Luffy’s warmth — so he ignores the many parallels between them and avoids contemplating the matter entirely? Perhaps he rather pities Rayleigh, because the former right hand man of the Pirate King should be free, but Rayleigh will never again know the meaning of the word, haunted as he is by a ghost he can’t bear to exorcise.

Why is that every time I try to mindlessly doodle Sanji it becomes a full illustration that looks completely different than anything I’ve ever drawn before

If you can tell what flower Sanji is holding, you might be able to infer who he’s looking at, but it can be interpreted any way you’d like :]

Reblogs are much appreciated! <3

Uncolored version below the cut

happy national hangover day

First time tweening!! It’s a bit rough but uhh yeah I think it turned out pretty cute :]

I used CapCut for anyone wondering

Couldn't resist after the last episode 🐎

some zosopp doodles bc i realized i haven’t drawn them before aside from like once hehe

masks and helmets that hides someone's face in such a way that they become the face themselves my beloved

these are all creatures to me

Step 4: The Swords. Finished Yubashiri. 2 down. One to go.

Sanji merch is so good whenever they let that girl smile … please return his big beautiful grin to me please <////3

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

WHERE IS ALL OF THE ZOSOPP CONTENT??? fine I guess I’ll do it myself… and also what if I killed both of them…

@squidling2005 and I are lowkey ILL about ZoSopp and it’s such an underrated paring—platonically or otherwise. I haven’t drawn them together much weirdly enough, so here’s this!!

Methinks that if the rest of the crew was already dead, and Zoro and Usopp were bleeding out, they’d sit and wait with each other to die together.

Closeup + reference below the cut :]

Save me ZoLu save me…

Better quality/individuals under cut!

If you hang out in my streams and collect channel points, you can trade them in for a super quick sketch of mine!

I have drawn several bloody Zoros for @calysto1395 before, and this is the newest installment.

the verticals vs the horizontals is tomorrow

nobody understands how much i love yubashiri, not even me sometimes. it's my favorite sword in all of one piece, and it's never talked about

i know that moment in loguetown was focused on kitetsu because it was an important moment for zoro and really showed how much he believes in fate and luck, but that scene reminds me that yubashiri has so much weight to it, i think.

yubashiri was a family heirloom, and when zoro leaves the shop, tashigi asks the shopkeeper why he gave away such an important treasure, and he says "what's wrong with a man entrusting another man with his dreams?"

whether zoro knows it or not, yubashiri holds a promise and a dream similar to wado, but not as heavy or personal. we don't know what the shopkeepers dream was, but he knew he wouldn't be able to reach it and instead gave it to zoro in the form of yubashiri.

i know this isn't that important in the long run, and we don't really know anything about the shopkeeper, but zoro has this theme with promises and carrying the weight of others dreams with him. he strives to be the best and will do anything to reach the top, but he'll also do the same for people he loves and respects.

even if he doesn't know or care what yubashiri means to the shopkeeper, yubashiris history seems to fit well with zoro, and i think that's what's important. it continues this theme of dreams and promises and trust, things that are vital for zoros character. they compliment each other

and then it died in two seconds because of some random guy that we've never heard of and we'll never see again 😭😭😭

i'm really happy zoro laid it to rest in thriller bark, but the way yubashiri died made it feel unimportant and tossed aside and i'm really upset about it

i've been very productive

may delete this later idk

Roronoa Zoro
