Ohmegosh this was so fun but also so harrowing to do in one day lmaooo

Version with borders because dramatism my beloved

I picked angst over domestic fluff for some reason zxcvbnm- I usually like fluffy things HELLA more (give me happy beginnings and ending mfers I'm soft) but I was possessed by this and had to do it

This is specifically fanart for 'Koby's Awful No-Good Very Confusing Day'! Go read it!! Understand my brainrot about this fic and why I have a whole notepad about fanart I'd like to make for it!!!

its a shame your fics dont have more art theyre so good like if I could draw well id probably turn them into picture books. do you wish you had art?

but besides the point I actually have questions and I wanna ask em.

first up, who’s the back up? luffys mentioned the backup a few times and I cant help but wonder who it is. if thats a major spoiler than you dont have to answer but considering your love for this one guy i kinda think its sabo or the rev army. either that or like traffy. it would be funny if it was sabo though because of koby’s brief jealousy of how luffy was talking about him.

this might be just me as an aot fan overanalyzing everything but I feel like that devil fruit in the beginning was something important and so was the auction in broad daylight.

also ive seen a lot of fics where kobys favorite food is buttered potatoes but i think yours is the first where his favorite food is downright plain butter. the guys a psychopath for that. like why would you do that. where did you even get the idea.

I also have some other questions! unfortunately uh revolving around the second favorite ship brymeppo…

does helhippo realize he likes bryan or no? also i really came into the fic thinking I wasnt gonna give a crap about him but somehow you made me like him a lot so kudos to you. his relationship with bryan is so rivals to lovers coded and thats one of my favorite tropes. I really do hope helhippo lives up to his promise and takes bryan to the symphony. I know that wont happen in tsats but if you could make a one shot of helhippo and bryan going out on small dates that would be amazing 🙏 for us rymeppo shippers #rymeppo shippers unite oh and as much as i wanna see bryan take revenge on elijah for all the things the guys done to him i also wanna see helmeppo smash the guys face in. please. kill elijah. I hate him.

omg sorry that this is so long but I still have some more questions!

kobylu wise, who do you think fell first? koby or luffy? its obvious that luffy likes Koby but why hasn’t he said anything? does he understand how he feels? and after this is all said and done how are they going to stay in contact? it’s not like koby can just talk to luffy whenever he wants since hes a marine and luffys the pirate king.

anyway thats all! I hope i was able to help your creativity in some way :)

I mean, yeah, art would be cool. But when it comes to engagement with my fics, the most I hope for is for someone to simply read it. Besides, it’s self indulgent! I’m just writing the stuff for me and sharing it along the way.

Anyway, questions. *pulls out glasses*

The back up? Well, it’s not Traffy, that much I can say. Considering we (last I checked) don’t know if Trafalgar is alive or not, I just decided to…y’know, leave him out.

Greetings, fellow AoT fan, you are NOT mistaken! I kinda like hiding little things in the fic—not EVERYTHING has a purpose like AoT, but a lot of things are put there for a reason. I like being sneaky like that.

And yes. Koby’s a psycho. He eats straight up butter—and said it tastes better when dipped in sugar. I got this weird headcanon from my bestie who also happens to eat butter sticks. I once saw him dip it in sugar and was so disgusted by it, and he was just like “it’s good for you. Besides, it’s ✨tasty✨” like sir no. What on earth. That’s weird. You do you, but please, not in front of me. Besides the point—for some reason I decided to implement that onto Koby. I have a habit of weirdifying characters.

As for the RyMeppo question… I seriously never expected people to love this ship so much wtf. In Chapter 5, Helmeppo is completely unaware of his very obvious crush on (B)Ryan. He thinks he hates Ryan, when it’s obvious it’s more than that. As of Chapter 10, however, the moron is 10000% aware of how he feels. He and Ryan’s relationship is really fun to write with the constant bickering/flirting. I never intended them to be a romantic relationship, but alas, that’s where it headed.

And the KobyLu questions! Yay! Koby definitely fell first and he fell hard—don’t think anyone could fall harder if they tried. As for Luff: he knows how he feels about Koby. Buddy went to Sanji’s school of flirting and failed the classes spectacularly yet tried showing off his grades to Koby. He’s made it very clear how he feels—Koby, unfortunately, is just too damn dense. Luffy could yell “I LOVE YOU” to Koby and he would probably think Luffy meant platonically. He gets his density from me, of course, I’m the exact same way.

I hope I answered your questions well! Thanks for the ask, it actually did help a bit.)))

I’m not sure if this has been asked before but since Koby’s a vampire he has vamp related abilities right? What are they :0

(In a southern voice) You have no idea what you've unleashed, partner. (Brief update before I get into this: By Sunday, you guys should have at least 2 new chapters of Amaranth + the first chapter of my Kobylu Medieval Au!)

Okay. So. I consume a lot of vampire media (not twilight. yet. my friends are trying to get me to read it.), so there's a mix of traits that I'm cherry picking from them!

Koby has my favorite trait of Dracula's: Iridescent eyes (meaning that, depending on the light, Koby's eyes will shift from brown to red)!

Next, there are some typical ones: Heightened senses (smell, taste, touch, and hearing), physical abilities greater than the average human, functioning on a small amount of sleep/rest, healing abilities, etc.

I'm thinking of him unlocking more once he trains during the timeskip. Like hypnosis, invisibility, etc. Let me know what interests you the most!

Not part of the ask but I wanted to include some more vampire lore/weaknesses:

-Silver. Bullets, blades, etc-- unless it's a lethal injury, wounds caused by silver weapons will eventually heal, but at a rate normal for humans instead of vampires. (I'm gonna have with this one!)

-Sunlight. Both the amount of sunlight and the prolonged exposure to sunlight impact the severity of the burn, which is why it ranges in the story so far.

-I briefly touched on this one in the author's notes, but I trait I find really endearing about old vampires is that they have an obsession with counting things: In old stories, you would drop a handful of seeds in front of them, and the vampire would compulsively count them, allowing you to either escape or attack the frozen vampire. I thought this was so cute, so I had to include it!

Other vampire lore:

-Koby is not going to be allergic to garlic. Garlic increases tissue blood flow, helps soften arteries, and basically makes blood easier to drink for vampires, so I could never under why they were allergic. I have a funny scene with Sanji planned out for this one.

-Crucifixes are not going to have an effect on Koby. Because I can, and also, christianity is so... vague, in one piece. I have no idea how to approach it, so I won't.

-Vampires cannot see their reflection in silver-backed mirrors. Koby can see himself in modern mirrors, because they lack a silver-backing, but since the East blue and the first few islands aren't very tech savvy, he doesn't actually know what he looks like. He can only see his reflection in windows, water, and other shiny things, which aren't very accurate.

Thanks for the ask, anon!
