One Piece — "She passed out!!!"

From Volume 74 - Chapter 742 / Season 11 Episode 676. After Usopp refused to let himself abandon the naive Tontottas, he faces off against Trebol, one of Doflamingo's most trusted members. Despite his sniping skills, Usopp is no match for the snot-nosed pirate's sharpshooting. Operation SOP is truly a failure. That is, unless a miracle happens.

April 20, Beijing, China, National Museum of China/中国国家博物馆 (Part 3 – Chinese Historical Fashion Exhibition):

Another cool exhibition that I visited while at the museum, showcasing popular fashion from different dynasties, historical artifacts, and some other relevant artifacts that gave a glimpse into the fashion of different dynasties. What's even cooler is that you can visit this exhibition virtually! (the site is in Chinese but I highly recommend it to everyone, there's so much more to the exhibition than the pictures I post here) Note that this exhibition does not only include historical hanfu, but also historical fashion of the 少数民族 that ruled some of the dynasties. This post will be pre-Ming fashion, and next post will be Ming and Qing era fashion. The reason is because Ming and Qing dynasties are the two most recent dynasties, so there are a lot of surviving artifacts from these two dynasties, which means there are 30+ pictures total and I couldn't fit them all into a single post.

First is a recreation of Han-era (202 BC - 220 AD) hanfu. The woman on the left is wearing a one-piece robe called a qujushenyi/曲裾深衣. The man on the right is wearing the outfit characteristic of Eastern Han dynasty (25 - 220 AD) civil officials, a combo of jinxianguan/进贤冠 hat and zaochaofu/皂朝服 clothing (皂 here means the color black, as in the word "青红皂白", or "blue and red, black and white"):

Left: model of a Han-era magpie tail cap/queweiguan/鹊尾冠 (you can see the influence of these Han-era men’s hats on the outfits of male characters in modern xianxia art). Right: recreation of a Han-era bian/弁 hat (the headscarf-like piece tied beneath the chin):

Line drawings of different hats worn by different types of officials based on artifacts and murals. The center and left sections are different hats of military officials (wuguan/武官 in Chinese), and the right section is different hat styles of civil officials (wenguan/文官 in Chinese).

Jumping back, this is a Warring States period (476 - 221 BC) iron daigou/带钩 inlaid with gold and jade and decorated with dragons. Daigou are basically belt buckles where the flat end is attached to one end of the belt, and the hook will hook into slits in the other end of the belt, so this is an extra fancy belt buckle:

On to Tang-era (618 - 907 AD) hanfu. From the left to right these are: the regular outfit of early Tang dynasty officials (color varies by rank, red is worn by fourth and fifth rank officials), the outfit of a female servant in early to mid Tang era, the ceremonial outfit of a Tang dynasty emperor, and the outfit of noblewomen in late Tang to Five Dynasties era (907 - 960 AD):

Song-era hanfu (front two) and Yuan-era Mongolian fashion (back two). Front left is the formal attire of Southern Song dynasty (1127 - 1279) civil officials (color varies by rank, red is worn by fourth and fifth rank officials), and front right is the regular outfit of women in Southern Song dynasty. Back left is the formal attire of Mongolian noblewomen in Yuan dynasty (1271 - 1368), and back right is the regular outfit of Mongolian men in Yuan dynasty.

Replicas of painted clay sculptures of women from Northern Song dynasty (960 - 1127), the original sculptures are in Hall of the Holy Mother/圣母殿 of Jinci Temple/晋祠 in Shanxi province:

By the way, in the case of Song dynasty, the descriptor "northern" and "southern" basically indicate time periods within Song dynasty (you can refer to the beginning of this post where I explain this in more detail).

And line drawing diagrams of different styles of futou/幞头 hats in Song dynasty based on paintings, murals, and other artifacts:

📌Fact about Rain Wedding

Thai Traditional Wedding Ceremony – Water Pouring

The water pouring is the most important part of the Thai wedding ceremony as during this part the couple officially become husband (สามี [saa-mee]) and wife(ภรรยา [pan-ra-ya]). Traditionally, this was all that was required to validify the marriage, but nowadays the couple are also required to obtain a marriage certificate (ทะเบียนสมรส [ta-bian som-rot]) from the Amper or local registration office.

Before the water pouring can take place the couple must seat themselves at the traditional water pouring tables (ตั่งรดน้ำ [Dtang Rot Naam]), with the bride to the left of the grrom. They will each have a ceremonial headdress (มงคล [Mong Kol]) , made from one piece of cotton to signify the joining of the couple, placed upon their heads. The Mong Kol will have previously been blessed by the Buddhist monks earlier in the wedding.

The couple will be fully prepared for the water pouring to commence once they place both hands (palms together), overhanging the water pouring table and positioned above flowers that have been arranged in a water tray, to capture the water that runs off.

Each of the elder guests in turn will take the ceremonial water pouring conch shell (สังข์รดน้ำ [Sang Rot Naam]), which has been freshly filled with holy water from the Buddhist ceremony, and pour a trickle of water from the base of the thumb to the fingertips over first the groom’s and then the bride.

So, in the song, the rain is like a holy water that pours down on the lover’s hand to celebrate them. Even if the rain might mean a horrible thing sometimes, but if we are under the rain with the one we love, the rain is not that bad.

Do you know what the biggest lie ever told in one piece is?

"There are only 5 devil fruits that can fly"

I mean Pell sounded cool when he said it but it has gotten worse over time with every devil fruit that appears.

Let's go down the list from least to most ridiculous DF users who can fly.

ACTUAL BIRDS:

-Pell [Bird Bird fruit: Model Falcon]

-Marco [Bird Bird fruit: Model Phoenix]

-Morgans [Bird Bird fruit: Model Albatross ]*

*Morgans is flightless in his hybrid form, but Albatrosses can naturally fly for long distances*

-Buzz [Bird Bird fruit Model eagle]**

**Buzz is a noncanon character from the movie One piece strawhat chase. He is a dog**

OTHER FLYING ANIMALS:

-Cub [bug bug fruit: Model rhinoceros beetle]

-Bian [bug bug fruit: Model hornet]

While bugs are known for crawling, these two tontatas have DFs who's species can naturally fly.

-King [Dragon Dragon fruit: Model Pteranodon]

Flying is the only natural thing that King does with his fruit. All the fire stuff is unique to King

-Kaido/Momonosuke [DF NAME UNKNOWN]

Momo can fly by summoning clouds and walking on them but dragons appear to have the innate ability to fly as shown with Kaido

BIRD BY TECHNICALITY:

-Toragatsu [Bird Bird fruit Model: Nue]

Torgatsu is a noncanon character from the One Piece x Kyoto art show. The nue is a chimera like creature from Japanese folklore that has the body of a tiger, head of a monkey and a snake for a tail. Alternatively it can be described as having the back of a tiger, the limbs of a tanuki, the tail of a fox, the head of a cat, and the torso of a chicken. It is a bird fruit because the name Nue also refers to the scaly thrush bird that the chimera mimics. Torgatsu can fly by summoning rainbow colored flames.

LOGIAS:

All known logia users [with the exceptions of Aokiji, Akainu*, Blackbeard &Caribou ] can fly via elemental propulsion. [*Akainu is in a different category]

-Ace/Sabo [flame flame fruit]

-Smoker [plume plume fruit](smoke)

-Crocodile [Sand sand fruit]*

*the presence of these 3 fruits alone in alabasta immediately invalidated Pell's statement*

-Kizaru [glint glint fruit] (light)

-Enel [Rumble Rumble fruit] (Lightning)

-Caesar Clown [Gas Gas fruit]

-Monet [Snow snow fruit]

PARAMECIA SHENANIGANS

-Shiki [Float Float fruit]

man can just straight up fly

-Trafalgar Law [Op Op fruit]

-Fujitora [Press Press fruit]

-Eustass Kid [Magnet Magnet Fruit]

The above manipulate their environment to create platforms that they ride on.

-Big Mom [Soul soul fruit]

Can use her soul to create constructs that she rides on

-Perona [Hollow Hollow fruit]

Can fly by turning herself into a ghost.

-buffalo [Spin Spinf Fruit]

Can fly by helicoptering his body parts.

IS IT FLYING IF I DON'T TOUCH THE GROUND?

-Akainu [Mag mag fruit]

Has been shown to use his magma to propel himself short distances but hasn't shown the ability to fly

-Magellan [Venom Venom fruit]

Can create pathways of poison that allow him to fast travel around impel down

FLIGHT BY TECHNICALITY

-Buggy [Chop chopper fruit]

his body parts can Float around within a certain radius of him, excluding his feet.

DOESNT COUNT AS FLYING

-Ms. Valentine [Kilo Kilo fruit]

Reducing her weight to 1Kg allows her to jump really high into the air and slowly fall down

??????

Karasu [DF UNKNOWN]

Can turn himself into a murder of crows and fly.

SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FLY AT ALL

-Doflamingo[string string fruit]

He flies by spidermaning his way through the air, sticking his strings to clouds

-Robin [flower flower fruit]

Grows several dozen arms that she fuses into a pair of wings

-Luffy [Gum Gum fruit]

Gear 4. Contracts and expands his legs with so much speed and force that it generates thrust.

There are probably some others that I missed but these are the major ones for where you are.

This a really cool categorization and also

Perhaps it was meant that only 5 DF like actually come with wings and the other ones just elevate their powers to do all that crazy shit

Or perhaps is further evidence Oda makes it all up as he goes along (most likely lol)

[broken-bottle-chandelier]

" He's Here. "

THE PLUSHIE IS HERE!!! I wanted to draw another part to the old piece I drew for the announcement that Tiki-Taka would be getting his own plush and so I ended up focusing on this one a little bit more!

Perhaps to my own minor detriment, but I love drawing these guys so I am writing it off as apart of my break time. yvy

This was my first time actually drawing Brian, I know I know fake fan, but... something feels... o f f . . . Like I feel like this is no longer Brian Pasternack, this is Brian Yassersnatched.

Sunday Anime Line Up

Happy Mother's Day to any other moms out there! I was surprised with breakfast made by my youngest son which was really yummy! I gave my mom her present which I smartly bought in March cause I knew I could be broke by May and I was right.😩

Still have to work today sadly but my body pain is at a decent level so as long as there are no surprises at work today it should be all good. Anyway, let's get to the anime shall we?😊

Shirobuta Kizoku desu ga Zense no Kioku ga Haeta node Hiyoko na Otouto Sodatemasu

Awww why is this anime so adorable! I mean its dark in some places too cause of poor Ageha having the thoughts that he isn't gonna be around and needs to succeed to Regulus but still passing out cause he was sewing picture books for his little brother to learn? My heart! I am low key hoping that we meet the gardener/sword master's grand son's next week and Ageha teaches them to play nice as well!🥰

Tu Bian Ying Xiong X

I not gonna lie. I didn't think this was going to go the way it did. I did not see that coming at all so that took my whole idea about how this side story plays into the end of ep 4 is so far gone that I am back to square one.😵

Uma Musume: Cinderella Grey

Okay I have mixed feelings about this episode. On the one hand I knew what the outcome was going to be cause plot be plot driven but still I think that Oguri should have had more say in everything properly. Like the other school should have approached her not the trainer and then if she made the decision based on those kinds of feelings it would be alright to push her into a corner a little. I don't know.😶

Lazarus

Damn people stop drinking the Kool-aid, thinking the aliens are coming, or trial by fire! Cults are dangerous and stupid. End of line.😒

Kanchigai no Atelier Meister

So the church is cleaning up after themselves with their favorite means, misdirection, sacrifice, and murder. That being said, Kurt made a damn lake and created a daughter from an egg and now Lise and Yulishia both wanna be mama.😆

Gorilla no Kami kara Kagosareta Reijou wa Ouritsu Kishi-dan de Kawaigarareru

Whoa! Ep five and no take backs? Well...going in and then getting pushed so hard the wall breaks? But she is blessed by the Gorilla God so I'm sure Louis senpai will get used to it.😁

Ore wa Seikan Kokka no Akutoku Ryoushu!

Technically this is a Saturday anime but it comes out so late for the West and so early for the East that I'm just gonna keep it on Sunday. That being said, I am enjoying this one. Its not the best by far, and the fanservice is not needed for the story, but the idea that the Guide is trying to ruin Banfield's life so he can enjoy the misery and negativity and its backfiring on him like crazy is quite amusing!🤭

Internet is finally chill so I can get this and Monday's up in one piece. Man was that annoying all weekend.😤

7, 12, 19 pls?

i adore your writing and artwork! it has such a detailed life to it! each sentence is so purposeful in your work that i feel like they’re organs/bone making up a whole body, each paragraph essential to breathe life into the piece. truly, u write PEAK fanfiction ( ★^O^★ )

Ahh, thank you!! That's such a nice thing to say ;_; I work very hard on my sentence flow, I'm so glad it feels purposeful to you.

7. your preferred writing fonts

Good old Times New Roman! Word recently switched their default font to Aptos, which is like... fine, I guess. It feels like going from suit pants to sweatpants...

12. a trope you’re really into right now

I adore miscommunication, misunderstandings, and the loss of knowledge as it's passed from one person to another! That's a big theme in BSBiB, and I think it's a fun challenge trying to depict it naturally without having the plot get too frustrating for the reader.

19. the most interesting topic you’ve researched for a fic

I did a lot of research into Irish mountain landscapes for my Fire Emblem Three Houses fic (although some things, like all the dead crows the characters keep finding, were taken directly from experiences I've had IRL). Scene setting and technology available in the time period tends to be the most interesting part of research, I think... although it would be nice to write a story where somebody can just whip out a smartphone and Google stuff, haha. The curse of writing fic for characters stuck in the early 2000's...

Oh! Another interesting thing I researched recently was the Japanese LGBT scene- I'm not sure if I'll ever use that for writing (I don't tend to write fics that are amenable to coming-out scenes), but I find it very helpful to know the general societal attitude towards things I want to have quietly going on in the background, or if I need to keep something in mind while I'm writing a character. I found out there's top/bottom slang specifically for lesbians: tachi (pitcher)/neko (catcher), or riba, if you do both, lol. Also, it seems like the polite way to say "lesbian" is "bian"? Very interesting.

[legionofplush]

As I said, those aren't all the designs I wanna make, that's just where I had to put a cut off cause One Piece has infinite numbers of pets and zoans and characters which just kinda look like one animal and such. So, I'm gonna list all the characters below and whether I plan to do them and why or why not so if you were hoping your blorbo would be in this series and they aren't yet, you can see if I plan to do them. If your love is not on this list, please feel free to reply or tag and let me know who and what. There's so many of these and I just keep stumbling upon them (my ass just entirely forgot about Yokozuna till, like, 2 weeks ago) so I'm sure I missed some ones I'd love to make. It's a long ass list though so it's under the read more link. Feel free to control F your character so you don't have to read the whole thing.

So, other little designs I'm planning to make but make no promises about written in the format of character - animal/item for onesie:

X-Drake - Dinosaur

Sabo - Dragon (American style so I can put little wings on the back)

Franky - Toad (Yokozuna!)

Robin - Tortoise (Banchi)

Iceburg - Rat (Tyrannosaurus)

Koala - Koala (I know it's just a name but I love her and I want her in my hands)

Shirahoshi - Shark (Megalo)

Bon Clay - Swan (Gotta get all the queers up in this bitch)

Yamato - Zoan Wolf Thing (If I can get the sublimation working to get that sweet, sweet ombre)

Chopper - Cotton Candy (Similar to Katakuri's donut)

Nami - Zeus (It's basically the cotton candy onesie with a face, let's be honest)

Gear 5 Luffy - Cloud (Honestly, if I were to do one of the japanese dragon designs, it would be to make Gear 5 Luffy emerge from Kaidou's mouth like Shirahoshi does but it's more a horror movie moment but my issue with those designs is below)

Corazon - A heart (Like, just in a big ole heart)

Onigiri as an extra onesie for Law!

Bacura as an extra Boa onesie!

Meat onesie for Luffy, I can make a little bone stick out of the top and everything

Not a priority but maybe if I get through all the others:

Ceasar - Axolotl (Smiley)

Conis - Fox (Su)

Two remaining Gorgon Sisters - Snakes

King - Pteranodon

Black Maria - Spider

Pell - Falcon

Bian - Pink Bee

Bellamy - Hyena

Brooke - Laboon (The embroidery on this would be hell so it'll likely never be done but god would it be cute)

Might see if I can do something with Minks and the Sulong form but that's a tad difficult to differentiate. I don't just wanna put Carrot in a Rabbit onesie, ya know?

I know the marine admirals are all linked to animals in their names and symbols and Garp's dog hat so I might do them but they're, like, at the bottom of my list.

Original warlords but in seraphim coloring with little black wings and fire embroidered on their backs (though croc’s would not have a cigar cause the kids ain’t smoking)

Characters I know fit the category but I don't want to or feel like I can't do for various reasons:

Doflamingo - I know he's very popular and no hate to anyone who likes him but I don't want that man in my house so he's not gonna be.

Gecko Moria - I don't think I can do his head in this style and have it work, I'm sorry. And he's not Gecko Moria without his weird shape.

Any equine character - I have not figured out the hooves nor the face and maybe I will but it's still a no for now. Cavendish, Stronger, Kaku, none of em yet.

The japanese style dragon zoans - It's a really complicated design which would be really hard so I don't really wanna do it.

All the other ancient/artificial zoan Beast Pirates - 1. I haven't hit Wano and barely know them and 2. trying to make, like, ten dinosaur designs which can all be differentiated in this really simple style sounds like hell and I like Drake best so he gets dino-priority. Kings is at least a very visually different dino and if I make him I can have him, Law, Ace, and Robin have a "the government wants us dead for nothing but having survived their horrible acts of violence" tea party, which I want and thus am willing to work for, so Drake and King are my dinos.

Surume - I haven't figured out how to do an octopus but I promise you, I'm trying to think of it

Robson, Hakowan - I don't wanna do Wapol, I'm so sorry for the fans I'm sure exist somewhere.

Nyashi - I haven't gotten to whole cake and thus have no real positive Vinsmoke opinions, sorry. And I'm not putting Sanji in a Vinsmoke onesie, I wouldn't disrespect him like that.

Funkfreed - Spandam is nowhere near my top but I'm somewhat willing to bend if there's a burning fanbase which there seems to be somewhere and maybe they'll find this post and come for me. Mostly cause one of my friends likes him.

Catarina Devon - I don't really want to but also my friend (same one who like Spandam) really likes the blackbeards so you might see her anyways.

Five Elders - Unknown devil fruits don't count.

Drophy, Chaka, Pierre, Jabra, Tamago, Morgans, Pekoms, Dalton - Just kinda don't want to, sorry to these Zoans

Fishmen - There's so many and I don't wanna fall on that sword quite yet. I promise, every few days I think of doing Jinbe cause a whale shark would be hella cute and I love him but that's opening up such a can of worms.

That’s my list. I know there are some characters who are associated with animals but don’t have the other form, pet, or any visual motif, like Zoro with Tigers but I tried to stick with ones which were crewmates, pets, zoans, or visual motifs. That being said, Sabo with his dragon themed attacks and Koala with her name are on my list so I’m hardly firm on that rule.

If I missed anyone or if you think someone really needs a onesie, please feel free to comment or tag, I might make them and I absolutely haven't thought of all of them. Like while typing the Zeus/Gear 5 section, I just realized I could also make Smoker in a cloud, just like, a slightly greyer cloud cause it's smoke. I could totally do that and unfortunately, now I might.

"I will! Don't worry Bianca!"

Mi held her arm up, on a call with her on the watch. The same one The Designer gifted to her when they first visited. As much as she wanted to talk to her in person with her, she still had to be wary of the manor. So she was listening to both Brendan and Bianca when it their warnings and advice.

Still, she really did prefer a human presence accompanying her in coversation rather than through a device. It was nice to be near them, give them a hug or two while sharing a meal. Or playing with toys. Just simply being there physically was enough for her. Seems like Brendan knew that if he decided to stay with her at the warehouse for the time being.

However, something was off. She stayed silent so she could finish her sentence, but it didn't feel like she was present in the conversation anymore... Sure she can't see that, but her heightened hearing made it easier to pick up on verbal signs and any other sound cue. Hearing a second voice from the other end, the concern more than clear, her smile slowly faded.

"...Bianca?"

Then one moment led to another. A thud, the voices growing distant. She can't tell what happened. There was no conceivable way for her to even know. All she heard was confusion, Bianca's voice growing weaker.

"Who... Who was that? I don't... I don't understand... Hello?"

The other person piecing it together, cussing someone out. She didn't know what any of that meant. Was it important? Were they there to hurt or help her?

"...Bian... ca...?"

But there was no reply.

"... Are you okay? What's wrong? Hello? Are... Are you still there?"

The panic increased in her voice, alarming the raven accompanying her on her lap. Her body trembled as she couldn't process what just happened. And the fact that she wasn't saying anything just made her more terrified of what was possibly occuring on the other end. Silence is never a good thing unless it was to drive away something scary. But she wasn't in any danger... right?

"B-Bianca, please say something. I don't like it when people are q-quiet around me... Bianca..."

Wet spots started to form on her blindfold, at the corners of her eyes as the raven flew off her lap to go outside and let his owner know something was wrong.

"... B-Bianca..."

What weapon do you like if you had to choose?

So I had the fortune of testing a wide variety of cold weapons because of my association with Spring Chant. And I think my preferences lie with a Crescent Moon Spade.

A chan(2)zhang(4) is a pole weapon that has a flat spade-like blade on one end and a half-crescent moon blade on the other. The half-crescent moon is inverted contrary to expectations so that the convex end is attached to the rod, leaving the concave end open. Note that the blades of a traditional Crescent Moon Spade are not meant to be sharpened.

It is known as a Monk's Spade / Shaolin spade because Buddhist monks would carry these weapons back then to protect themselves against bandits, but it also served an additional purpose. The spade portion is actually meant to bury corpses found on the road, while the half-crescent moon portion is meant to non-lethally subdue wild animals by positioning the crescent over an animal's neck and keep them at bay that way.

From my practice, I prefer heavier weapons to lighter weapons; it's why I wield a staff during my normal martial practice as opposed to a bat or equivalent-bian . And I do like how the origins of the weapon came about, which I suppose is perfect for a mostly-pacifist like me. Broken bones are just as good a way to end a fight if someone intends harm on you.

I once considered a zhanmajian, a large anti-calvary double-edged blade. But in the end, I know that if I connected well with one of those, there won't be much left to piece together. Its name translates to "horse beheading blade" for a reason.

--

On a side note, for martial art movie enthusiasts, the Crescent Moon Spade does make a brief appearance in one of the more modern classics, but most people probably don't realize it because its appearance was so brief.

In the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) attempts to use a heavy version of the Monk's Spade against Jen Yu (Zhang Ziyi) in their fight. However, Shu Lien comically falls backwards in the middle of her swing because the spade portion was much too heavy. The weapon gets immediately discarded in favor of a single rod bian. Haha.
