#but I hope these are enough for now :D

[memethebum]

more se fic recs pls?

I’ve actually been meaning to make a list of all the fics I’ve read so far (which is alot), so this is gonna be a good way to get me to start on that lmao

Also, my recs are pretty much all gonna be SoMa so I hope that’s what you were mostly looking for anon 🫠

Alignment by Thebrightestfell (M)

I don’t really read enemies to lovers all that much but this one was just👌🏼and the way Maka and Soul are so soft for each other while dealing with a shit ton of trauma makes it even better

Harmonica by Alcru_eat (M)

Alc did such a good job with this AU!! It had a really good balance of fluff, angst, and gore that had me wondering what these two idiots would have to deal with next through the whole thing

Bad Romance by adulter_clavis (T)

I was looking for a highschool AU where there was less romantic drama and more shenanigans from the gang and this one did it so well! It’s a great nostalgia trip and still contributes to the SoMa brainrot too hehe

A Clash of Lightnings by Lucyrue (theungenue) (M)

Since I put a highschool AU on this list, I might as well add one of my favorite college AUs too! I really like how everyone in the gang was written in this fic and the fact that this one is also a Toradora AU makes the slowburn even more fun

I’ve Been Afraid But Never A Coward by sillu (M)

This is actually one of my fav fics from Silly! I love reading about Maka’s repressed emotions from all the shit Spirit has done and this one does this in a great way while also showing how well Soul knows what Maka is thinking/going through

When The Last Crocus Petal Fell by Lunar Resonance (T)

This one brought me back to my Greek Mythology/Percy Jackson phase lmao. I like readings fics that have Maka and Soul as Hades and Persephone and I really like how this one writes the both of them into this myth while still keeping their personalities intact

Socfflaws by AuspiciousLeader (M)

I also really like roaring 20s AUs and can’t really seem to find a lot of them for SoMa so this one was really fun bc of how these two seem to be great at bottlegging but terrible at talking about feelings lol

Luffy Week Day 4- Emotion

One of the things I am most fascinated by in One Piece is the continuity between this small angry child, and the happy-go-lucky pirate he becomes.

I think it's all still in there, he just knows more now!!!

Tradition vs Modernity vs Comradery

+ context & lore:

In the first drawing, Fernando is wearing a capote de paseo, which is what bullfighters wear before the match begins, as seen below:

In the second, Seb is shouting the very familiar "Olé" which is shouted by the crowd to praise the matador. He's a little brat, so of course he's yelling it for himself, but he did get many 💐

The third(which was a random sketch I had that I didn't think I'd finish tonight, so ignore if its messy) has very important context to me. Before going to the final act and killing the bull, matadors dedicate their montera(hat)(and symbolically: their kill) to a a specific person in the audience(or just the public as a whole.) Seb and Fernando are finally in the same color! Seb is bowing!!! And Fernando is honoring Seb!!!! Also ignore that I drew Seb's post-retirement hair. Though, maybe this drawing is supposed to represent Fernando making a dedication to his now-gone rival 😔(Seb: stop telling people im dead!)

Now, some more lore :D

So I talked about this in my last matador post but I'll expand more. I think it's very funny to characterize Fernando in this au as this fun-hating traditionalist. Because you have to understand; he's only this way when it comes to Seb. Because you absolutely KNOW he was doing silly, unserious shit back when he was younger. But absolutely god forbid Seb do anything silly.

It's very ironic because there literally is a part in the third act of a bull fight where it's basically encouraged to be a bit silly. This is a tad morbid, but basically right before they deliver the killing blow, some show their mastery over the bull by doing some superfluous action(ex. kissing the bull, kneeling in front of the bull.) There's some guy who literally would lean on the bull and mime taking a call. But anyways, Seb would def do this. I've not been able to draw it exactly how I want, but he would bend down and do his little bull horn symbol and mime charging at the bull. (Fernando, trying to make up reasons to hate Seb: oh my god, look at this blatant disrespect, look how he is disrespecting the bull, I cannot believe how rude this boy is!)

Also there's something to be said about how the matador shows mastery over the bull by kissing it or bowing to it...and Seb is technically the bull in this au and Fernando is the matador. There's just this unfortunate level of weird power inbalance that still lingers even though their rivalry is over and can't be affected anymore. There was no succinct answer about who truly was better because Seb was forced out of it. So there's always gonna be this level of "is he just pitying me? Is he just mocking me? Is he just patronizing me?" on Seb's part whenever Fernando praises him or makes dedications to him. And Fernando's always going to be haunted by the fact that there's no answer to who is truly better because he'll never know if Seb had reached his full potential or not. Anyways, they also have nasty sex while wearing their costumes and do weird bull/matador roleplay :)

Edward -> Èideard

hello dear friends! just letting you know that i have decided to try out the scots gaelic spelling of my name for a while to see if i prefer it to the english one. i deliberated about the matter for a long time before settling on edward but i have been Gazing Wistfully at the alternate spelling ever since then so i figured i may as well give it a chance given that i am as much scottish as i am english in all except physical location. in my accent the pronunciation is the same, and most of you call me ned anyway, so there will probably be very little change on the whole, but [vague gesture]. who am i to resist a little E with an accent

And after a million two years, I FINALLY finished this kinda ambitious idea I had of an old pic @hollifo did!

I originally wanted to include a bg similar to the DTIYS I did way back when, but it wasn't working with the other elements sadly so I choose to axe it. Hol's original version below!

Breathing into a paperbag thinking about the possibility of Elbaf digging the conflict from Water 7 back up again and maybe exploring some long-term repercussions of Luffy and Usopp’s fight that not even they themselves were aware of and and and and and-

LISTEN. the Water 7 Saga absolutely rewired the way I understood the crew and how each member views themselves and the roles they play. And it’s been some time since the Strawhat’s exploration of the New World has allowed them to really take time and consider themselves and each other like that again.

And Elbaf just sounds (MUAH) like such a wonderful opportunity to do exactly that, it sounds perfect, primarily in the way it ties all the way back to the Strawhat’s early days on the Grand Line. And when you look at the presence of the Giant Pirates in Little Garden and Enies Lobby, what they share is that both times the Giants Served the purpose mirroring the conflicts between the crewmates and highlighting the importance of loyalty and comradery. Shit writes itself. Come on Elbaf don’t let me down. Come on Usopp I know you can hit us with another world shattering arc just take the stage love.
