#cutting a cake anyway

[inaris-pokemon-world]

Hey Inari how would you react to a hyper realistic cake of you?

[guideaus]

anyways, besides gege akutami poorly killing off every other character in unfulfilling ways (and imo this being a fine time to subvert expectations on who we think is covered in death flags thru a flashback), it does feel kind of lame that our guy whose whole arc was abt being against punishing others and empathizing with others despite the system he operated in heavily discouraging those things essentially carrying his suicidal mentality in the panel through, but framed positively bc he became a tool to help further yuji's goal against sukuna doesnt feel good.

i understand what gege akutami was trying to do, but i dont like it and i think it sucks. i dont think its good for his character arc, and frankly with gege akutami's record of having main characters seemingly deal an important blow, only to be casually swept aside or fall flat in the literal next chapter, regardless of the characters, this doesnt feel very hopeful? (not to mention i don't think he should've repeated nanami's death lol) akutami also has a habit of just not really mentioning killed characters again in a meaningful way and this could absolutely happen after the chapter. it just feels bad to me, i dont think most of the character deaths are done well, even if you want to insist jjk is a tragedy or whatever, i dont think things get across well.

Month 2, day 7

Happy birthday to my husbando Ignis Scientia and best girl Aerith Gainsborough! :D

I had nothing planned so I scribbled this out relatively quick, by which I mean over the course of like an hour and a half lol. This is nowhere near a finished piece, more like a scribbly, sketchy thumbnail for a proper piece of art, but honestly it was kind of nice to draw something new instead of working on an old WIP

I have a few alternative ideas I want to try so I might do those for a bit to give myself a break from animating :)

(i haven't read Whole Cake in a while, and i never really watched it, so bear with me)

I'd love to write a fic with Usopp on Whole Cake. it'd be sooo fucking long and i'd need to refresh myself on the entire arc, but god i'd probably be so satisfied when it's done. specifically for having brought a single moment in my head to life, but we'll get to that.

On Zou, he insists to be taken along on the Sanji rescue team and has worked himself up with a whole bunch of very good reasons as to why he should go there instead of helping in Wano, but of course Luffy just immediately accepts with a "yeah sure"

With Whole Cake, I think he'd be flipping between having fun as part of the idiot trio/quartet (Luffy, Chopper, Carrot), and being terrified with Nami. There wouldn't be that many differences in the arc as a whole, though; some things would be easier/better and some things would be worse- I don't necessarily think Usopp's presence would be overall an advantage or disadvantage, just different. Like, major events would stay mostly the same, but little details would change and maybe those little details would build to a far more drastic change-

for example, maybe one of Big Mom's kids considers themself a great sniper and wants a match with Usopp, or is motivated to work harder because Usopp is around and they want to take him out and boast about it. Maybe it means Sunny takes more damage than canon, or maybe Usopp's help means less damage to Sunny. (idk if i'd really do smth like this, but it's just an example)

skjdhf fuck i'm really not equipped to try and figure this out when i don't remember shit from Whole Cake aaaa

I do know that, despite his penchant for talking and rambling, I'd probably have Usopp be dead silent after his initial shock when Sanji fights Luffy. Everything about that is the same, except Usopp is just watching Sanji the whole time- not panicking, not moving, and not speaking. He doesn't say a word the entire time, doesn't even make a sound, and that, along with Luffy's words and Nami's begging, stick with Sanji.

(Usopp is thinking of his own fight with Luffy in Water 7, he's partially wondering if this was what it was like- if it was this painful to watch from the sidelines- and partially knowing he doesn't have to say a word, because he knew, like he knew back then, that it didn't matter what was said. It wasn't quite the same, but he could tell in the way Sanji moved, in the way he spoke and held himself, that he was putting on a front, trying to be brave in all the wrong ways. Usopp didn't say a word to Sanji because there was nothing he could say that Sanji himself didn't already know. Should've known. And his quiet, direct stare, was more than enough.)

the singular moment i really wanna write, is a scene where Sanji is apologizing for dragging them into his mess- either during the big meeting in Bege's castle or some other time- and Usopp's like "I'll do what you can't, you do what I can't, right?" and Sanji pauses, a little confused, until he remembers Enies Lobby and a stupid mask and cape and-

and tears are gathering in his eyes now, fuck, but he laughs a little. It sounds wet and his face is itchy and they're surrounded by tentative allies, but he- he laughs again and he says, "Fuck, you remembered that?"

Usopp shrugs, a little smile on his face. "They were some wise words from a wise man."

Sanji laughs a third time. "You think I'm wise?"

And they banter a little more before Bege tells them to quit it since they're on a time constraint or something. Quietly, Usopp will ask, "It-it helps. On bad days. And I figured, 'what's a worse day than this?' Ah, not that you getting married would ever be bad per se-"

"Usopp," Sanji says, looking more relaxed and settled. He smiles fondly and grabs his friend in a one armed hug, crushing him to his side. "Thanks."

And yeah, don't remember much beyond that, except the whole "hiding and then busting out of the cake" bit, which would mean Usopp in a cute little tuxedo or smth- maybe with a fedora aaaaaa <- loves fedoras- helping out with the fighting and eventually sailing with everyone to Wano.

He would be so distressed about fixing up Sunny now that the whole thing with Whole Cake is over. Maybe there'd be a gag about him promising Franky to take good care of Sunny while they were gone and being confident, after being Franky's tinkering partner and learning from him over time, that he could handle minor repair work much better than he did the first time around with Merry. And so when he finally takes in all the very-not-minor repairs he has to do, he's certain Franky is gonna strangle him for not keeping his promise. Probably also try to write in some nostalgic 'repairman Usopp' vibes from pre-Water 7.

Also something something, Sanji, wanting to do more for the crew bc he still feels guilty about Whole Cake, decides to take it upon himself to help Usopp not fall into a whole anxiety spiral about the ship. In turn, Usopp ends up helping Sanji not feel so guilty- usually by handing his own words back to him on a silver platter. And, yknow, having the two of them bonding and being buddies again like they so rarely get to be in canon nowadays qwq

[konstantya]

Starting to think I might have accidentally become a baking wizard?

[drawthething]

There was one piece of cake left in the fridge so my brother cut it in half for us to share but he cut it HORIZONALLY so I argued with him that this was severe food inequality. He told me that I had no logical proof for it so I scribbled this nonsense:

[meaningtotellyou]

i just wasted over two hours trying to clean the 100 year old floor to ceiling windows at my job just to be told they look bad and someone else will try in the morning

[anonymous-ampersand]

Chapel.

I'm going to get married today

The chapel is full of flowers and sage He'll lift up my veil and he will say Are you sure that you love me? Are you sure you can wait?

He cuts into the wedding cake And licks the frosting off the blade He cuts into our palms Drops our blood into the lake We stand on the bridge and give ourselves away

I can be good, I can be true You know I don't love anyone, but I love you I can be good, I can be true You know I don't love anyone, but I love you

fulfilling my basic lesbian needs by sanding down, priming and painting a dinner table i got for the price of one vegan cake on a random tuesday evening

[incendiorum]

io doesn't have a big sweet tooth at all. in fact, most desserts make them wrinkle their nose in disgust. there are, however, exceptions to this. ice cream, especially ice cream with fruit, dark chocolate, and fruit pies. otherwise they greatly prefer natural sweet things like honey or again... fruit.

[tardis--dreams]

If this doesn't end Very soon I'll have to ask my professor to register my thesis in April rather than March because i don't think I can do this in the remaining 2 weeks in this state ahahaha
