I'm opening commisions! Decides to post on main too since I'm currently unemployed and struggling. My art account is @naveyistrying if you want to check it out :)

Weird thing about me, I can’t listen to the more intense episodes of the magnus archives. Like, episode 101, I had to first completely read through the transcript before attempting to hear it, because otherwise I get to anxious and have to keep taking breaks. Listening is more vulnerable than reading I guess. It gives the things a realness that words on the page don't have, but it's fine once I know what is going to happen. I'm back in control
And it's not even that I get scared, I just have anxiety
So yeah, John I completely understand what you mean about the statements taking a lot out of you
Fun fact about me, I've never actually seen James Cameron's Avatar and refuse to ever watch it. Why? Well, when I was a kid and the school year was about to end but we still had to go to school but the teachers couldn’t actually teach us anything because we only had like three more days and the final tests were already over and we were just waiting for the week to end and the holidays to officially start, they would gather all the kids in the auditorium and play movies on a projector. That day, they said we were watching Avatar. I was excited because I thought they meant the cartoon, so imagine my disappointment when some blue people showed up. I was so angry at their deceit that I literally turned my back to the screen and plugged my ears in protest. The next day, they played Pirates of the Caribbean, which I also refused to watch. Finally, on the last day, they played Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, which I did watch because I like greek mythology
So yeah. I've never actually watched Avatar or Pirates of the Caribbean and at this point I refuse to do so on principle. I'm winning this argument even if I have to DIE
One of the things I'm most looking forward to coming into the one piece manga is witnessing Jimbei's trajectory from "I respect your brother, not you" to proudly declaring himself the helmsman of the strawhats
#i think that the fact that luffy got an established and respected pirate such as jimbei to become his subordinate made people take him#much more seriously#that's probably the reason why he was declared the new emperor and not law even though law had been a warlord#anyway i love their dynamic#one piece#jimbei
It's probably because the one piece live action was my introduction to the one piece world, but i didn't mind koby's and garp's little arc and actually enjoyed it, because a) i can see the parallel it is drawing between koby and luffy from the very beginning and think that's very fun; and b) because it helps the world fill more full and alive, like these characters still exist and are going through their own stuff even when luffy is not around to witness it
Okay so rounding up
- "D" is the name of the enemy that was defeated 800 years ago by the 20 nations who would then form the world government
- A leader from one of these nations, Queen Lily of Alabasta, ALSO was a "D" and chose to not move to Mary Jois
- She somehow arranged for the poneglyphs to be spread out throughout the world
- These poneglyphs hold knowledge of what really happened in this conflict, of the ancient weapons, and how to get to Laugh Tale via four red Road Poneglyphs
- Laugh Tale probably holds the answers and the "key" to the dawn of the world
- There's a prophecy or something that Joy Boy, aka the Sun God Nika, will come back after 800 years and lead the world to this new dawn
- The poneglyphs were made by the royal family of Wano, who then closed its borders instead of joining the world government
- The Gum Gum Fruit is actually the Human Human Fruit – Mystic Type: Nika and the government changed its name to try and prevent Joy Boy from awakening
- But Zoan Devil Fruits have a will of their own and so it evaded the government for centuries and eventually made its way to Luffy, who has known awakened his power
- Wano also has SOME kind of connection to the origin of the devil fruits since Sea Prism Stone, which can nullify their powers, come from there
- Vegapunk speculates that Devil Fruits are connected to alternate universes and human will and dreams ??
- The Op Op Fruit is another Devil Fruit that the government wanted because it is considered "the ultimate devil fruit" since it can give someone immortal life at the expense of the user
- The Empty Throne, which is supposed to be empty, is actually not and is filled by someone the Five Elders call "Imu-sama"
- Imu was the name of one of the First Twenty so Iva speculated that maybe someone used the Op Op fruit to make them immortal, and so they have been ruling the world in secret for 800 years
- The government has one of the ancient weapons and used it for the first time in recorded memory to wipe Lulusia off of the map
- King Cobra of Alabasta learned too much and was killed but not before passing on a message to Sabo, who witnessed the whole thing
- CP-0 kidnapped Princess Vivi of Alabasta because one of the Celestial Dragons wanted her as a pet
- Wapol, who also witnessed the whole thing, was running and accidentally helped Vivi escape
- They both are taking shelter with Morgan at the World Economy Journal base
- Fujitora wants to take down the system and sided with the revolutionary army to help the slaves escape
- The Warlord system is abolished and in its place the navy is using the Seraphim, artificial humans made using the blood of the seven warlords augmented with Lunarian blood
- Lunarians are an ancient tribe that lived where Mary Jois is now located and were hunted to near extinction
- The government wants to kill Vegapunk because they found he had been researching the Void Century
- Saul is alive and probably in Elbaf
- The Kid Pirates were destroyed by Shanks
- The Heart Pirates were destroyed by Blackbeard, but Law managed to escape with Bepo's help
- Using Chopper's Rumble Balls, Minks are now able to go Sulong for a short period of time even during the day
- Sentomaru betrayed the navy to help Vegapunk escape
- York betrayed the Vegapunks
- Egghead is on lockdown and there's a bunch of ships on the way, including Admiral Kizaru and one of the Five Elders
- Bonney is having a breakdown
- Toki was from 800 years ago and from Wano and had been time traveling to the future looking for a certain event (why did her family leave Wano??)
- Princess Shirahoshi is one of the ancient weapons (Poseidon) since she can talk and command the Neptunians
- Momo can also do that I'm pretty sure and so can Luffy
- Garp is captured by the Blackbeard pirates and pretty critically wounded
Is fhat it?? Did I miss anything or got anything wrong?? Man I've got a headache
This will probably be tmi but i kinda need to get this off my chest, so when i was young i didn’t really have any male friends (i'm afab) so when my cousin moved in to the house next door and we got really close i had a panic attack thinking that i was in love with him because the only type of boy x girl relationship i had been exposed to was romantic so i went crying to my mom thinking i am a disgusting human being for being in love with my cousin when actually i was just experiencing friendship anyway fast forward to now i'm 23 and on meds because i have depression and intrusive thoughts and now looking back i think that was my first so kids should really be exposed to more media were boys and girls are friends otherwise they might have a breakdown like i did and depending on their relationship with their parents they might not be comfortable to confide in them and then who knows what might happen
I can't believe this FOOL, this UTTER BUFFOON, this SIMPLETON
He did all that, ALLL THAT, and his end goal is just to become a king? Affiliate himself with the world government??
I am SICK. I am DISGUSTED. He is a DISGRACE and unworthy of his position. He could have the power to achieve real change and instead he wants to play king.
How dare he. And to think I almost respected him! Sure, I hated him, but at least I thought he stood for something. That he dreamt of something bigger. And I could respect that. But this...
He's not a pirate. He's a sick child with illusions of grandeur
