#Part 1: Bit & Pieces

[art--harridan]

[Image description: A digital drawing of Iris Campbell from the film Final Destination Bloodlines. It depicts her on the night of the Skyview premonition, wearing her blue dress with white accessories. One of her hands in being pulled to the left out of frame, her body being tugged along with it. Her other arm hangs limply. Below the engagement ring, her ring finger is coloured a bright red, which drips off of it into a curved line. This line travels to the right and splits off into eight different lines of varying sizes, each one with an arrow tip. One of these arrows travels behind her head, and spirals as it travels. These tips all point towards a penny falling downwards. Iris is turning her head and gaze towards it. Her eyebrows bunch up and her mouth falls open slightly as sweat drips down her face. The background is a bold, warm yellow, which contrasts greatly against the blue of her dress and the red of the arrows.]

One Piece Live action season 1 + hints or similarities to future One Piece moments (specifically after East Blue saga) - part 1: episodes 1-3

This wasn't meant to be a comparison between the live action and the animanga, but more so seeing these added/modified scenes that differ from the manga, yet with some of the acting/writing includes clues and hints to different and future canon material, or even characterization that necessary doesn't fit East Blue yet, but fits well enough into later arcs.

Luffy not knowing his world directions both in Opla (ep 1) /// Skypiea arc, in anime ep 168. But it could be for honestly any other arc (Funny thing is, in Opla he rang the bell that unfortunately alerted Alvida's crew, and only when I was rewatching that scene it made me connect it with the great Luffy moment at the end of Skypiea.)

The matches that Zoro has on the Island of Sixis in Opla ep 1, possibly manufactured on Baldimore (?), with a name Beast of Baldimore. /// After Sabaody Archipelago Franky was sent to Baldimore by Kuma, finding Vegapunk's homeland and laboratory, and also developing more of his science projects, as well as causing funny incidents, such as the Burning Beast. (It has probably nothing to do with the matches, except for the 'tiger on fire' motif and the name of Baldimore, but the details of Opla are just so fun!)

Zoro's first meeting with Luffy in Opla episode 1 is really different but fun nonetheless, especially with wording of the line that he doesn't want to 'play pirates' with Luffy. It's such a great setup line for his development to truly be one of the very first to understand how much Luffy means everything he's doing /// Zoro in ep. 323 Post Enies Lobby arc, making sure both his crew and the audience know how seriously he takes being part of Luffy's crew and what it means for future arcs.

Opla ep 2, Luffy mentioning Shanks' way of thinking about fighting (or not fighting someone who's not worth it) /// ep. 146 Jaya arc, Luffy saying to Zoro not to fight Bellamy's crew, which was direct influence from Shanks not fighting the Mountain bandits in the first chapters of the manga. It's interesting that for both of these scenes both Zoro and Nami are there to hear this.

This is just a fun bit, but seeing Nami excited about having a bath was cute. Opla ep 3 /// anime ep. 326, just after they get Sunny and everyone was finding out what space there is for them.

Garp and Koby playing the game of Go, Opla ep 3 /// CP0 agents playing Go while discussing the outcome of Strawhats & Oden's crew's raid on Onigashima against Kaido. It seems like a game that maybe Marines play more/enjoy (?) & above, up to CP ranks.

Usopp 'retelling' a story about eating a dragon, Opla ep 3 /// Punk Hazard ep 580, Zoro killing the dragon and planning with Luffy what's the best way to cook and eat it. Lol. In next chapters Luffy was carrying a big chunk of it, seemingly ate a bit part of the dragon already.

This one is self explanatory. Zoro is so gone for Luffy in Opla it's insane. Every time I remember that I get emo. ep 3. /// One of the first really fond smiles that Zoro keeps smiling at Luffy, a mixture of proud and understanding how Luffy works. ep 63, but it's just so much better in the manga, just look at it. Smitten™ (ch. 104)

Here’s a fun little wip test fan animation on the redhead gremlin himself Ichiji that I have been working on in the background in my spare time over for past few months.

It was a short animation study and practice of me trying to replicate the One piece anime Toei animation style but it ended up looking more like Oda manga style instead all well. :3c Overall, I’m really happy with the result so far.

i have this under the quote "Yes, I'm drunk. And you're beautiful. And tomorrow morning, I'll be sober but you'll still be beautiful." from the movie the dreamers (2003) bc i'm that unoringial lmao [make up a reason as to why Akane must go to a gala and is dragging Ranma as her date; they’re best friends sharing an apartment au]   ranma/akane 1,253 words part 1 (althought not rly)

“Ranma!”  

The young man was leaning forward, staring at himself in the mirror as he dragged his long fingers through his oversized fringe, ruffling it just perfect. It wasn’t every day that he needed to dress presentable, with the sense of escorting Akane in front of all her colleagues, he needed to make a good impression. He didn’t know why, but he did know it was important to him.  

He held in a long breath understanding that he wasn’t actually presenting her as his date.  

“Where are you?”  

Her voice only got closer, knowing she was now down the hall from reaching the communal bathroom. And when he pulled himself away to take a glance at her, it was undeniably how breathtaking she was. She was wearing a very seemingly elegant spaghetti strap dress, with the cinched side of her waist overlapping into a ruched split just midthigh. She walked toward him, her barefoot loud on the wooden floors as she held up two necklaces, one in each hand, enthusiastic as she asked, “Which one?”  

He scoffed, cocking a thick eyebrow high as he shrugged his shoulders, “How would I know.”  

“Well,” she laughed out loud in a breath, looking up at him momentarily before looking back down at the jewelry in her hands, “which one do you think would look pretty on me?” There was a timid grin tugging at the corner of her very glossy mouth and god did it tug at his heart. Her eyes were absurdly wide, batting her long eyelashes as she watched him watch her with her flushed cheeks taunted him entirely into matching the color of her rosy blush. Her voice had been spoken in an exasperated tone, as if she were expecting a different response but he just didn’t know which response.  

“I have the gold one,” she continued observing the thick chain, “which is more of a bolder look. But the silver one seems more submissive,” she glanced up at him once again, just for a tad second before refocusing on the thinner chain, “or elegant, I should say.” She chuckled at the way she had finished her explanation, but he had not.

Ranma was trying to remember how to breath as to not intoxicate himself with the bewitching scent Akane’s perfume was emitting. He was just too close to her, and his mind was too muzzy to think about anything else but the way some of her dark strands just barely touched her bare shoulders. And how he so desperately wanted to touch her. He wanted to reach down and drag the palm of his hands up and down her arms and lock her down and... 

“So, which one?”  

He cleared his throat, looking away instantly with a slight set of rolled eyes, “Geez, you ask me questions I can’t answer, ‘Kane.”  

“You can’t tell me which necklace makes me looks pretty?” She groaned, her stance following as he began to walk away, just barely nudging him on the shoulder.  

“Okay, okay,” Ranma laughed, his own grin wide as he raised both hands defensively, “the gold one.”  

“The gold one?”  

“Hey, you wanted an answer, I answered.”  

“God, you’re such a dummy.”  

-:-

Akane appreciated that Ranma was trying, but considering his tipsy state of being, she couldn’t deny it was hard to maneuver the both of them up the stairs to the apartments. The party had been a delight, and Akane had appreciated that Ranma had offered to accompany her not caring that he didn’t know any of her coworkers, but he might had gone a tad overboard with the champagne. She had insisted that one glass should last a moment, and it’d be best if he’d enjoy the drink slowly with a bite.  

But of course, Ranma was Ranma, and she knew this very well. By the fourth glass, and a whole platter of yakitori skewers, the pigtail wearing man was more drunk than he’d like to admit. Of course, other drinks had contributed in getting him as he was, but by the end of the night he was fascinated by the champagne.  

At last, they had reached the third floor, and within minutes she had removed her heels and his dress shoes before guiding the both of them to the living room sofa. “God,” she grunted as she sat him down, trying to adjust him just as his body decided to slant onto its side when he began to doze off, it seemed, “you really are dope.” Still, Akane lifted his legs onto the sofa and stuffed a pillow under his head, ignoring the way Ranma insisted he could do it himself.  

She took a moment to fetch him a glass of water, setting it on the coffee table and then settling herself to sit on the floor next to him with her knees against her chest to help rest her chin atop, noting she was eye to eye with him. She chuckled loudly, her eyes admiring his flushed face as her arm reached toward him and used the palm of her hand to push his bangs out of the way. 

Aside from the hint of alcohol, he smelled good; it was such a familiar scent, one that was comforting and familiar and allowed her to relish the essence of what she considered reassurance. Reassurance of what, she did not know, but it was nice. The tip of her fingers dragged down his forehead and the bridge of his nose, stopping at its pointy tip momentarily before continuing at its side along his cheekbones and cheeks and then along his jawline.  

“Aw..Aw-kah-neh,” Ranma breathed deeply through his nostrils, startling her briefly as she watched his eyes scrunch together as if in pain.  

“I’m right here, Ranma,” she answered, sitting up straight, “did you want me to take you to your bedroom?” she offered.  

He shook his head slowly, a mischievous smirk suddenly making itself known as he blinked his eyes open. “The gold,” he gulped through his dry mouth and throat, “looks beautiful on you.”  

Akane shouldn’t have felt her cheeks and neck heat up as fast as they did, but they did, and she wanted to look away and smack him silly because he was apparently talking such nonsense in his drunken state. Although she also found herself smiling timidly at him, embarrassed, even if she did not know why.  

Nonetheless, she found herself replying, “Thank you, Ranma.” 

Ranma usually didn’t express himself so openly about her in such a way, but she’d accept a compliment over anything else any day.  

“You’re beautiful.”  

Stop. Stop! STOP!  

“And you’re drunk,” Akane chuckled nervously, “I think you’ll feel different in the morning.” she insisted.  

But Ranma grunted, shaking his head in disbelief as he laid sideways, looking straight ahead at the brown-eyed young woman who was now trying to look at anything but him. “Akane,” he called her, his voice soft and low, but very clear and direct that he wanted her to look at him. And so, she did. She sat with her knees pressed against her chest, her arms now wrapped around them as her chin rested on said knees. And she waited on him to continue, looking at the way he was looking at her.  

“Ranma,” she mimicked teasingly, her voice just as soft and just as endearing.  

“Yes, I’m drunk. And you are beautiful.” He smirked so sharply; she needed help keeping her heart staying still. “And tomorrow morning, I'll be sober, but you’ll still be beautiful.”
