Do you ever get a wave of nostalgia for a hyperfixation that’s never coming back with the same sort of melancholy with which you mourn a lost childhood friend
Like “you consumed my every waking moment for six entire months, and now I haven’t thought about you in years…I miss that passion”
How Ace has no choice in who he grows up to be. How it’s always been decided that he’s a sin. How he’s the son of the Pirate King, the Devil, and that’s all that matters about Ace.
Ace is the son of the pirate king, and Ace is hated.
Anything and everything bad about the world, people associate with him. Blame on him.
Ace hates hates hates it.
(But he knows it’s true.)
He lives as if he doesn’t know this, as if he has a place in this world, as if he’s not a blot on humanity. He runs with the wind, laughs with his brothers. He fights, laughs, loves.
(He hates.)
But, sometimes, all he can think about is this cursed destiny of his.
About how he was born to live and die a sin.
-
(Or: Ace is insecure and down on himself, but his brothers love him so, so much, and will never let him doubt how much they love him.)
The Crocodile shifts like the tides of a distant sea, far away and dark. He’s there, solid, and then collapsing inward. He’s there, void, and then rising up.
The nature of sand not himself, the gaping hole in his chest, the gaping scar that splits across his face in bloody-not-blood stitches – he is a push and pull, a shove and draw, balance and imbalance.
He shouldn’t exist,is all the truth at its simplicity. He is horror and immeasurable darkness from the depths of the sea, sand before devil fruit and death before living sun.
The Crocodile breathes out smoke made of the ashes of dead souls and rolls the golden hook around his hand.
Gold,the unattainable to ocean depths. Gold,what The Crocodile isn’t.
Gold, what The Crocodile will take from the ends of the earth..
(The Crocodile isn’t like other demons. He isn’t quite ademon, he’s something darker, something more, something from the depths of the sea that shouldn’t walk on land.
Yet.
The sea hates him.
Yet.
Crocodiledoes.)
The Crocodile revels in the unthought of, the unknown, the line between demon and death, and he does not hesitate to strike.
Strawhat does not fall to his hand. Whitebeard does not fall to his hand. Alabasta does not crumble beneath him.
(The little hunger takes what little grip on the surface he has left and sends him back to whence he came.
Monkey D. Luffy, the hunger calls, and its everything The Crocodile has ever hated.
Loss,and being dragged to the origins of the East, where death blossoms and the world begins and ends all at once.)
first in my winter nein series is fjord! i knew he needed more than just a coat, but after i decided on a design i restarted the painting process what feels like 78 times before stumbling on a direction i was happy with. i don’t often go lineless but i liked the look for this.
For the chronically anxious and/or otherwise mentally ill:
This is not a screamer, jumpscare, or any other kind of horror link I don’t know the name of. It will not cause you to question reality and as far as I’m aware, there is no reason it should cause any kind of hallucinations or psychosis. I don’t want to spoil the surprise because it’s DELIGHTFUL but I am happy to tell you it’s very sweet and gentle and also great lowkey stress relief. This is a cinnamon roll link appropriate for all ages (yes, all the way down to babies) and you will enjoy it if you click it. ❤️
I BOOKMARKED THIS FRICKING LINK, I LOVE IT SM PLEASE CLICK ON IT
Ok I’m all down for trans Peter Parker but consider this: trans Steve Rogers.
Trans Steve that joins the military not just because he hates Nazis, but because he wants to prove his manliness by fighting against what he hates and for what he believes in.
Trans Steve that also (admittingly) joins the military to be able to medically transition, since the military would cover HRT and all the surgeries he wants.
Pre-Serum trans Steve getting in fights and beat up often not just because he is short and weak, but also because he is trans and people during WWII were tremendously transphobic towards him.
Trans Steve being judged harshly and mercilessly by several characters and other recruits because he’s trans, which is why he tries to prove himself so badly.
Trans Steve being given the opportunity to take a serum (aka HRT but 10000x more potent) by Dr Erskine not just because he sees his potential as a soldier, but because he knows that Steve deserves to transition and be happy in his body.
Trans Steve supporting all the trans, nonbinary and gender non-conforming kids at the MCU because he too was once a trans kid in need.
Additionally, bi trans Steve and pan Bucky Barnes falling in love with each other, since Bucky had feelings for Steve even before he knew he was trans, and his feelings didn’t change after knowing either.
Trans Steve being enraged at waking up seventy years later only to find that his rights as a trans man haven’t advanced nearly as much as he would have expected, and that a lot of his non-passing siblings are discriminated on a daily basis.
Trans Steve being a trans icon against transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia, and all the other avengers see and respect him for the man he is.
Just. Trans Steve being the trans Marvel captain we deserve. If you can headcanon Peter, a skinny, younger kid as a trans man, then you can headcanon a full manly man as cap as trans too. We trans men come in all sizes and wear all kinds of suits.
