[monkeydlitty]

I absolutely loved this chapter! Seeing all these events through kumas eyes was heart breaking. He been known that luffy is that mf™️

Happy 2023 everyone, as op fans we have certainly been blessed✨️ this year.

I have watched the One Piece Live Action. It was good. It was very good. I have a complex relationship with OP and didn't expect to love it so much. I am resisting the urge to hyper-fixate. I think I might be losing.

A LINK BETWEEN WORLDS

please

To me albw is a remarkeable game in many ways. Its ability to tell such a complex and interesting narrative with very few cutscenes and fairly short dialogue dumps is amazing!

I wish it was aesthetically more my style, smth about its 3D modeling feels more unfinished than stylized. It may be a 3DS hardware issue, but it does still take from my experience since I'm a very visual person. :(

I also don't really love the dungeons being open to do in any order I want. I find Zelda puzzling the best part of the gameplay and the more open the easier it is for me to get lost about whats a puzzle and whats just a wall!

Also the music is some of the best in the series. My goodness. Absolutely incredible. It sounds?? Saturated and legendary?? :O Like a painting of heroism!

Speaking of paintings albw has my favourite official art, I own a huge poster of it.

Uuh. In conclusion! Love that game and I reccomend it to anyone curious of top down zelda games, but who are more used to the 3D games' narrative focus or botw/totk's openess!

my controversial opinion on knightcore fashion

or: how to dress like a knight on a daily basis without any armor so, you're a knight just like me. you're chivalrous and noble. you want some adventures, medieval literature and a sword. maybe you even want to date a prince or a princess! that's cool and then, you're searching for "knightcore fashion" to incorporate your aesthetic into your daily life and... there's nothing that fits quite right.

img src: Rachel Maksy on youtube pinterest outfits are cool, but they are too much medieval-ish? historically accurate? LARP-ish? not suitable for school and office? that's bugs me a lot and then there's amazing @/donttesstme on tiktok, that does "workspace fantasy fits" series. that's more like it, but she hasn't done a knight part yet

well, here's my take on "how to dress like a modern knight without an armor, a sword and without expensive accessories"

important note: this advices may look a little weird and confusing at first. that's okay, and I'm going to explain why: I'm doing character design for years, and I really like fashion. armorless and swordless knights are impossibly hard to design, because their key features are... armor and sword. that's what makes them recognizable. without these components an outfit may look confusing and dull alas, swords are expensive, and armor may look a little weird on you while studying. that's why I'm going to tell you how to include some secondary knighcore motifs into your outfit. it may be subtle, but the intention makes it all 1. gather some inspiration: firstly, think about yourself, your current personal style and identity. this is important, because all knights are different maybe you're a kind, noble person with a strong moral code, who prefers light clothes and golden color? then maybe paladin archetype is going to be the best for you maybe you're a pessimistic gamer goth person, and you want to keep that. then think about your favorite gothic brutal knights from dark fantasy games maybe you just like bright colors? search for some art of medieval joust armor, it's actually colorful maybe your favorite knight is Link, maybe you're the Geralt of Rivia type of person. everyone is different, so gather some unique inspiration pictures.

2. learn the basics any fashion mf knows, that there's several components of an outfit: 1. color pallete 2. silhouette 3. pattern 4. materials 5. styling (the way you put and combine items) and that's where you gonna need your inspiration pictures. analyze them, think of what's important. ask yourself questions: do I like the dark pallete? is this knitted material reminds me of something like a chain mail? does these tall boots look adventurous to me? maybe I want a bulky scarf? write it down and keep that in mind. congrats! this is your personal definition of what is knightcore fashion.

3. op's definition of knightcore fashion personally, I think that "casual knightcore" is more like an adventurecore subtype. for me, clothes like that supposed to be utilitarian and sporty, because knights tend to explore, fight with monsters and go on great adventures. I would go for hiking vibes and comfortable pieces I also would prefer to have some brown, beige and grey neutrals paired with muted green, red of dark blue. grey, metallic and silver are probably the main color for my dream casual knightcore wardrobe I wouldn't mind to add some whimsical fantasy elements, but in a subtle way. like bulky metallic jewelry with nature motifs, accessories like chunky combat boots and belts. maybe a cool DIY-ed unicorn embroidery on a jacket or pair of dagger earrings. jewelry supposed to be like a sentimental token from a lady or an artifact from a long journey also, ribbons, lace and fishnets are somehow knightcore to me?? like, recently I crocheted a oversized brown shrug for myself, and it screams chain mail in conclusion: generally, I would recommend search for some muted and natural colors, metallic jewelry, comfortable clothes for hiking, tall boots, tunik-shaped oversized shirts and huge scarfs. this is my vision of "modern knight" clothes, your vision may be different maybe I'm taking this far too serious anyway, hope that helps

[just-bendy]

wow, seeing your first art post and seeing how your art style's developed now, amazing growth op! 👍

(( thank you!! 😂💜

it's so strange seeing how i used to draw bendy bc he went from this

TO THIS

when i discovered that bendy doesn't have to be an innocent little bean and can be a charming little bastard toon i was so amazed...

being crazy about bendy also helped with improving my art style too 😊💜 ))

OKOYE AND ATTUMA MADE UP IN HUGS. FISH MAN MAY AS WELL BE TREE MAN TOO.

Alex was so NICE and COOL to talk to! We our chemistry hit it off when I met him at his booth in my Okoye cosplay! Ya'll, his face lit up like a Christmas tree when he saw my cosplay and gave me the Wakandan salute and I gave him the Talokanil salute in return. I told him how so many fans admire him online and how because of him, the cast, and movie, so many black and brown fans came together through the representation. He looked so touched about it 🥺 But ya'll, he not only signed my fanart of Chibi M'Baku and Attuma chilling in a box as a meme redraw from Spongebob Squarepants' "The Idiot Box" episode, he saw the timelapse for it and even asked how I drew it because it amazed him that someone actually drew art of him in that style! He even noticed the chibis swapping clothes! Ya'll, I gave him a copy of the chibis for him to keep and he was so happy about it, HE LEAPED OUT OF HIS CHAIR AND GAVE ME A TIGHT BEAR HUG. WE ROCKED BACK AND FORTH A BIT AND JUST LAUGHED TOGETHER 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I met up with him again two hours later for this photo op and he gave me another bear hug AGAIN before we took the pic! He said it was up to me to do the pose and I said to do a hug and he was down with it 😭😭😭😭 Everyone with us were just all smiles and laughing together 🥺 He gave me ANOTHER HUG before I left out! And he was the guest judge for the cosplay contest for the night! If ya'll saw his face journeys of being impressed and surprised by the detail and effort cosplayers put into their costumes 🥺 And before we fully left for the night, he gave me a goodbye hug before I see him the next day 🥺🥺🥺🥺

This tall tree nerd is such a ray of sunshine! I would legit just talk with him on a deck and have a drink with him all night. That's how much of a cool person he is 🥺 And yes, his hands are HUGE. THEY LITERALLY COVERED MY ENTIRE HAND. AND THAT MAN IS PURE MUSCLE. HE MAY AS WELL BE A FIRM MATTRESS 😭😭😭😭 I hope Alex knows how well-loved he is and I wish so much more for him in his future! 🥺💖💕

Heya, your winter creature and their lil harpy friend are really cute, I'd love to see more of em. The style for those two is really interesting and nice, and there's something really mystical about it that I can't quite put my finger on. Your art is amazing and I really like your pokemon stuff and mimics, too. (especially the metro train dragon, that one was really cool)

And also, the metro train dragon isn’t my creation, I just reblogged it. You should check out the actual op, @tokyozilla

[chromotps]

Hello! Been in the OP fandom for more than a decade (i miss the days where ace/luffy were a normal ship) and finding fics have been difficult.

Do you have any luffy/ace fic recommendations? Wishing you a good night!

hello! I wish I had been around for early acelu days... I was reading OP fic back then, but it was mostly zo/san 😅. I get what you mean, it's tough to find stuff for them these days that's not just luffy-harem stuff (which is fine! just not what I'm looking for) or ooc

I prefer fics that are mostly sweet and not too angsty, so my list won't include some of the ones that are really bittersweet/dark/endgame-tragic, even though they're beautifully written. I'm sure if you ask another acelu fan, you'd get a completely different list... I'm just a big weenie! 😭😂

I'm also really disorganized, so I'm probably forgetting a bunch!!! I need to keep better bookmarks omg

SFW Fics:

spinning on that dizzy edge by to-a-merrier-world (wayward_wolves) fav fav fav (helps that this was sort of a gift? based on some art I drew;;? hhh i love it so much) A sweet!!! and playful, relaxed scene between Luffy and Ace—who's joined the Stawhats!

this short fic by 002yb a really lovely, atmospheric piece of writing about the boys just being cute and speaking through touch

forget me not by 002yb a touch more bittersweet, but I loved how insightful this little look at Ace's last night with Luffy in Goa was

to be deserving by 002yb (after acelu week I need to have a separate section for 002yb!! tbh consider this a blanket rec for all their fics) adorable!! very nuanced, quick look at some courtship (or lack thereof) (but hope for some in the future?) between ace and luffy in an omegaverse AU

Bridesmaid Blues by Anonymous so much fun!! a rom-com style take on Luffy and Ace eloping in canon. Hilarious, and just makes me adore all the characters even more

In Your Heart Shall Burn by kayura_sanada oh my god. so it's a fix-it fic that involves a mysterious mirror and wishes. the tone feels just like canon with maybe a hint more bittersweet hopefulness, and the heartfelt moments between ace and luffy in this MELTED ME INTO PIECES. this will be one of my forever favorites.

oxytocin by ruche Gen fic but the author has other great shippy acelu work; this one is, post-marineford-ace-lives scene with Ace being worried and grateful for Luffy... the characterization is amazing

Near Death Experiences by monch_monch (WIP) This is a reincarnation AU, and it's got one of my absolute favorite acelu scenes in one of its flashbacks... I love everything about this fic—the way the other characters are brought in, and how cute and heartfelt Ace and Luffy are... I can't compliment it enough

The Same As You by PeachyStud (WIP) (jksgfhd oops i put this is sfw when the latest chapters have some messing around in it, but... i'll just leave it here) This one's a very sweet and fun modern AU—I reread it when I just need some feel good acelu fluff.

Next Stop, Everywhere by NewWonder This fic is the 2nd part of an "Ace lives and sails with Luffy" series, but it's my favorite of the 3 parts because it focuses a lot on Ace getting to work through his heartache 😭

Together Again by Swinky Swanks (SpobSpucci) A sweet, short piece about when Ace visits Luffy in canon

I'll Always Want You by PeachyStud This is part 1 of another "Ace lives in canon" series—this fic focuses on Luffy asking Ace to join his crew during their 2 years training and is SO cute and lovely. Part 2 is also a treat (and rated M 👀)

Arrangements by Sully-van I feel a little crazy for including an FF.net story on here, but this little royalty/arranged marriage AU just made me smile.

Find the Hat by authenticaussie  funny, slightly bittersweet AU where luffy's a ghost in ace's university library. i know, unusual concept, but a quick, fun read

(Ir)Responsible by oumriel (WIP!!!!! probably permanently from the looks of things) okay I have to recommend this one—it's a modern AU with drama/slow burn, and some incredibly heart-warming moments and really interesting characterizations. it does end on a heart-breaking cliffhanger, but... acelu seems to be a little bit cursed with WIPs, in the end, haha

Sleeping Habits by RainyCatharsis surprisingly fluffy soulmate AU where a soulmate who's died stays in their partner's dreams until they're both ready to move on. short and sweet!

on brotherhood by LadyCrimsonAndBlack another gen fic; age-swap! older Luffy runs into Whitebeard and makes sure Ace is happy on his crew

Lock; Key by Anonymous (SFW.... for now. since there's only 1 chapter up) very interesting modern, omegaverse AU with cool worldbuilding

NSFW Fics:

Hatchling by Anonymous good old-fashioned "not too loud or dad will hear us" modern AU incest. haha. really, this one is a nice mix of cute and dirtyhot, with a looooot of teasing smug ace

and what do they say about dreams by ruche uhh. a smut fic that... focuses on Ace's narcolepsy? it's surprisingly cute and funny—mind the tags, but I really enjoyed it!

Tearjerker by necroesthe OKAY so I love a lot of Necro's acelu fics... They do tend to skew darker, so that's a good thing to remember if you go browsing. This fic, though, is an adorable and fun and hot modern AU, with Ace thinking Luffy looks cute when he cries.

for the asking by irrelevant  another modern AU, I love the relaxed dialogue and vibe of this one. There's something about Ace and Luffy acting like dumb brothers while also being devoted to each other that gets me every time.

You're Built from Motorcycle Exhaust, Cigarette Smoke, and Starlight by Novicecomics Modern AU, really atmospheric story about biker!Ace and Luffy going on a little adventure and being in love

born hungry by ruche hard to summarize... i guess, modern AU, drunk/troubled ace has surprisingly sweet sex with luffy. this author always captures such a like, darkly funny, wry attitude with ace, and their luffy is a treat. still good to check the tags!

the blood of my brother by fizzyren another maybe odd one. uh. short summary is, acelu period sex with trans luffy. i'm not usually into those kinds of fics but this one got me down, what can i say

Lake Pontchartrain by necroesthe definitely read the tags for some of these dead dove recs i'm sneaking in here. anyway uh. the first chapter in this is, modern au, preteen luffy catches ace watching porn aaaaand then there's fallout

Virtue by necroesthe ditto above w the tags. um. 15yo luffy wants to ride ace. i'll add, necro's darker fics are more psychological-hot to me than like, silly-yummy-smut hot? if that makes any sense haha

I'd also like to recommend my own Once Piece fics... I think they're all pretty sweet, and not too bad if I do say so myself. :3c

Anyway!! Hope this helps! And pls feel free to tell me your thoughts on any of em............. 👀

[akanemnon]

Okay your comics and your art style is AMAZING!! When I wake up, I check your tumblr when I get home for anything, I check your tumblr and when I’m on the bus, I check your tumblr. I can’t stop obsessing over how freaking adorable this au is! There’s one thing I’m a bit confused abt tho…What’s the red hair that’s sometimes on the other side of Frisk and Kris’s head? Is it just a design choice, an easier way to draw it? Why doesn't Chara have it? Idk if I’m just overthinking it. And again, I love your art!

Awwww thank you so much. You have no idea how much your kind words have brightened up my day. Really happy to hear you legit enjoy my silly AU so much! A couple op people have asked about that particular design choice and it is basically a representation of their soul. Same with their eyes. In this interpretation red soul = red eyes and inside of their hair. This is why Chara's eyes and hair are black (or brown) because they have no soul anymore. So in theory any other human would follow the same design principle according to their soul color.
