"Hmm quite the menu update, I could surely buy all of these....but I'd rather get you my dear snack~" ;)

he's happy to see the golden man but still doesn't know how to respond to flirting.

[count-alucard-tepes]

Getting rejected by Tesoro makes me want to write a burn book/posts…but just about how much I love him omg stoppp😂😂😂

Literally made my day 😂

@goldenshowman continued from here.

More cash would not be the worst. Linn tends to spend more money than planned almost every time she goes out to stack up on supplies. Yes, winning more would certainly please her captain. The doctor would make up for all the times she overdid herself in the past. Tilting her head slightly to the woman cheering her on, persuading her to bet even more, the mink chuckles, not used to this kind of attention.

❝ You promise, yes? ❞ Her head turns to face Tesoro once again, before her eyes drift down to the pile of cash she claimed in the last games. Who knows? Maybe her luck with card games has bloomed, freed from this curse of never winning any game back then when she tried to play with the others of her crew.

❝ Alright. One more won't hurt. ❞ The woman eventually proclaims, back straightening, chest puffed out proudly with newfound confidence. If she really wins some more, hells, Kid wouldn't even need to hunt the title of being King of Pirates anymore. He will be stupidly rich, drowning in money!

"Carina, are you prepared for tonight's special event? As always I will be expecting no less than a flashy performance from you~"

How she hated the sound of his voice. Each time she heard his particular tone, her entire body stiffened and she had to put on the mask of a loyal employee. After all, didn't he forgive her the sins of stealing and give her a show? Where was her gratefulness?

Down the drain, that's where it was. If there was anything she hated more than anything, it was men in power who thought they could do whatever they wanted to anybody. And Tesoro could have his picture in the dictionary for the word Arrogance. Probably under bastard too, though.

She couldn't help but think about everyone he enslaved - but also all the money he possessed. She hated him equally for his depravity than his wealth. A man like him? Deserved nothing.

"Tesoro! You should know better by now, fufu" She let out a chuckle, eyes closed so she could hide her disdain behind a coy smile and softer expression.

"I wouldn't dare ruin the Gran Tesoro's reputation for flashiness! I promise you'll see stars tonight~"

She swallowed thickly, but nothing appeared on her features. Her plan was almost ready- she just needed people she could trust to ensure success.

She couldn't wait to put Tesoro back in his place. This bottom-feeder would soon pay up for his crimes.

“It’s hard to recognize the light when you’ve spent your whole life in the dark.”

Sentence Starters - The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

“Is that why you shine as brightly as a star? To keep the darkness at bay?” Shalria inquired cooly, sipping at her wine as she slowly mulled over his words. The costly beverage was cold and fresh, taste sweetening upon her tongue. Tesoro was likely enjoying his drink too, especially since it was the first time he’d ever mentioned anything about his life other than as a man of talent. It was difficult to believe that a man so full of personality could have indeed spent his whole life in the dark but Shalria knew it wasn’t impossible. Gild Tesoro wasn’t known as the World’s Greatest Showman for nothing and the idea that the King of the Gran Tesoro, Lord of the World’s Largest Entertainment City might have his own dark secrets hidden beneath the veneer of glorious wealth and gold decorating his vast realm wasn’t really that far-fetched. After all, she’d seen many of his ’employees’ scrambling to serve his every whim,  no different than how the slaves behaved back home in Mariejois. Honey brown eyes slyly flickered up and down beneath the orange-tinted lenses of her eyewear. Tesoro wasn’t terribly old, just shy of forty years but in that moment between sipping his wine, the atmosphere shifted and suddenly he seemed so much older, the premature lines of his face looking heavier than she’d recalled ever seeing before. The blueness of his eyes, bright as his gaze was, had a faraway look to them as though his thoughts had drifted back to less pleasant times, when he hadn’t always been the illustrious ‘Casino King’ so many people had grown to love and fear.

 “Be that as it may, there is plenty of light in your life now. The Gran Tesoro shines like the moon itself even when sailing through the darkest waters and your performances bring light to the lives of those worthy enough to see you. Surely that’s something to be proud of?” Shalria said in her most pleasant voice, wondering if the showman would continue his line of thought or leave that conversation for another time...

Well well well, I return once more

And Tesoro/Stella thoughts are taking my brain hostage once again; so I have lots to share!

@goldenshowman it’s been a while my friend, more goodies to share!

So I got into the show/comic book Invincible while I was away and all I can say is you need to read that god damn comic/watch that show. I read it all in a month and then met the comic book artist at NYCC back in October and I basically threw my money at him (Artist is Ryan Ottley, for those who are curious).

Point being is that I’ve taken massive inspiration from his art, it’s just so good, I wanna eat it; absorb it. The way he draws poses, teeth, expressions, and gore are unparalleled. It has so much life and dimension! I’ve been particularly caught up with how he draws teeth and how much it adds to his expressions, so I’m deciding to implement it into my own style! Been doing a lot of practice with it on Tesoro recently.

Also got some new sketchbooks and markers and am dabbling more in traditional media again.

Also got a little art notebook so I can occupy myself while at work!

I also have a ton of cute Tesoro/Stella interactions that I’ve sketched out in the last day or two; their happiness makes me happy ☺️

I believe this was from back in March, just a Tesoro doodle page (bottom left corner: he doesn’t like your music taste).

Last two: dynamic posing! Not very fond of the left one, need to tweak it a bit, and the right one? All that needs to be said is that there is a special place in hell for that flamingo bastard.

Eyes of the angel of music~

Tesoro being enchanted by the Phantom (Stella) but let's be honest who wouldn't 👀😍

@goldenshowman

〖☠〗-- He had been winning big. Casinos, shows, games--all as far as the eye could see. His crewmates seemed to be enjoying themselves, too. But Ace? He was feeling uneasy. People walking around serving.. they seemed unhappy. Winnings in his pockets, the pirate hummed and hooked his thumbs on his belt.

His interest was piqued when he was pulled into the high roller room.

“Talk about a show.. that guy with the dice seems like a masochist if I’ve ever seen one.” Lifting his sunglasses, dark hues scanned the room. “I feel like I’ve been brought in for a reason.”

[littlemissleapyear]

@goldenshowman​ answered the call~

        🕷It took everything in her small body not to explode with excitement as the fireworks of lights filled her gaze. Sure she’d seen a party in full swing but this caused every fiber of her being to move, then again the raven hair could never pass up a good beat. 

           Music had been her life for so long, the need to dance and sing pushed down as she still took to find the source in the gold cladded wonderland. Though there was always a sense of being on her guard, being around slot machines and card tables brought her mind back to Rainbase. 

            Things were different now however , that chapter had closed and new one started. Time changes everything after all. That and who could feel trapped in such a wonderous place?

            She’d return to the ship shortly but first her goal was to figure out where the music was coming from. Picking up the pace she followed the cheering, hopefully not missing to much, that would be a shame.  🕷

@goldenshowman liked [+] for a starter  

   Trafalgar Law tugs at his collar, not liking how tight it is. He glowers down at the tie he has been put in, grimacing at the garish colours of this. Why the hell did he agree to this? His jaw tightens and golden eyes slide towards the costume designer that helped him into this far too bright suit. At least the white isn’t so bad but the sparkling gold waistcoat seems far too much. And these golden shoes. Law swears they’re going to blind someone when the stage lights hit them right.

   Both hands rise to his collar and Law undoes the tie, pulling it from his neck and chucking it at the dismayed designer. When he gives them a glare any protests are cut short by a garbled gasp, the designer shrinking away from his fury. Law then turns away, striding past a woman who was clearly waiting to apply make up to him. He doesn’t even spare her a glance as he keeps walking, hands undoing the top few buttons of his shirt and tugging it wide so his tattoos are visible again.

   “I’m gonna ask this one last time,” Law says, kicking open the door into Tesoro’s own dressing room. He doesn’t care that he could be interrupting anything. “You sure this is a good idea?”

   He doesn’t think Tesoro has any intention of making their partnership public knowledge, which wouldn’t benefit either of them. Law is certain this little bit of showman ship isn’t intending to do that, it’s more to capitalize on the publicity having a Supernova frequenting his casino could bring. Especially when that Supernova is one that has somehow accrued a group of rabid fans. But the Surgeon of Death still has some misgivings.

   “Yeah, I’m a big deal but makin’ a show of my presence here could be putting a target on your back,” he continues, eyes lowering to focus on his arms as he rolls up the sleeves of his dress shirt.

First 5 people who send in a “💋” get a kiss from my muse.

Remember to specify muse for multi-muse blogs! | Accepting

@goldenshowman​ said:  “💋 "Good evening miss marine~" ( 1/5 )

She really doesn’t want to give out a kiss to strangers, even if she knew the man for a few days. But there was no indication that made it so Tashigi had to kiss someone on the lips. There was so many loopholes in this and even if she did follow rules and orders on a daily basis, this type of command was meant to be broken. Plus, there was only a greeting, nothing more. So Tashigi opts to give out a forehead kiss, trying not to clumsily knock into anyone on her way, god forbid she embarrass herself even further than she was already feeling by this ordeal.

----“And I hope you have a good night”. She leaves the scene but not without bumping into things on her way out. Really. What was she even doing in this casino again? Undercover? Maybe she should really cut back on the Irish coffee she had been drinking lately. That’s the only reason why Tashigi thinks she keeps appearing at places that isn’t the G5 marine base. Or maybe she thinks that there is a rare sword here. Who knows at this point.

@goldenshowman liked for a starter ☆

Walking into the pawn shop, the little bell they had rang to announce her presence to the store. She took a quick look around the shop before walking to the counter, shuffling into her bag before pulling out a familiar looking daisy.. oh right it’s the one that annoying.. what was his name again.. the one that kept on flirting with Bellamy.. 

[medicus-felini]

"Now who dared to put a frown on such a lovely face? " he asks with a hum, not long after saying that he manifests a small delicate golden cat with a left paw raised up, offering it to the lovely mink. "Do hope this small gift might bring at least a tiny bit of joy my dear " ;)

Big googly eyes complement the small frown on her face. Still shattered by Galdino's 'accident'. Linn looks up, eyes locked on the utterly cute and shiny cat figure appearing in the showman's hand. That definitely brings a smile back to her face.

❝ Mr. Tesoro! That will help, most likely. You are quite talented.❞

Taking the miniature kitten in her own gloved hands and observing it in fascination, the mink wags her tail, almost like a dog. ❝ Mr. 3 was talking about some 'mistake' he made. It was... startling. ❞

Shalria: *closes a cabinet* *a crash is heard behind the cabinet door* Tesoro: What was that? Shalria: The sound of someone else's problem.

(Because one is never enough!)

Tesoro: You have Crayons? Shalria: Yes, I have— Tesoro: You're— how old are you? Shalria: YES I AM AN ADULT AND I HAVE CRAYONS, I HAVE A BOX OF EMERGENCY CRAYONS IN THE CABINET UNDER THE TV BECAUSE EVERYBODY NEEDS CRAYONS SOMETIMES, OKAY? EVERYBODY NEEDS CRAYONS.

More art goodies!!

I got some KenUno stuff, and some Tesoro art for his birthday ☺️

@p-riama @girlwiththepapatattoo @goldenshowman

I’ll do Tesoro first because it’s his day 😤 (by the time I post this it’ll already be the 25th but I don’t care; hbd Tesoro babes)

I was actually making this to submit for my One Piece Music zine application, I ended up only using the middle image (purple background) because it looked the best to me. I wanted to push myself in terms of playing with color, so I made a bunch of scenes where Tesoro is performing. I love drawing him perform, it’s good anatomy/gesture practice.

I was also going to add stuff to the background but it became tedious, and I was on a time crunch to submit the app. Maybe I’ll revisit this…

Something for fun! I always use Tesoro for practice, whether it be facial expression, gestures, hands (I will NOT forget how the animators focused on his hands in the movie, there were so many shots of his hands like holy fuck. I ain’t complaining tho), etc. I love drawing him enraged tho, because it’s such a fun emotion to portray! And with Tesoro it kinda fits, with all he’s been through.

Ok ok, so Have A Nice Life (one of my favorite bands) released a demo of one of their songs, Sisyphus, and I listened to it for hours. I was inspired to sketch an idea for the Tesoro/Stella fic. Another hallucination; Tesoro sees himself all grotesque (possibly bloodied and mutilated) in the mirror. Chose to incorporate some of the lyrics with it as well. Love how this one came out too!!

Ok, KenUno time 😏

This is all Modern/Actor AU stuff; this shit is helping me with the stress of packing my shit and moving; it’s so fun to come up ideas and imagine the two of them being silly and happy!! This larger sketch is the both of them winding down for the night; Unohana is admiring Kenny, who for all we know, is fucking talking abt Star Wars (nerd).

The smaller sketch is Kenny now admiring Unohana, who is disheveled and wearing his shirt; she just woke up. Pre-coffee Unohana. Of course no matter how she looks, he still adores his wife ☺️

Messing with his hair again, also just an excuse to practice drawing his back muscles. Still trying to figure out placements for his tattoos…

They keep making each other laugh during the filming of the Muken fight. Also Kenny calling Unohana “Uno”. Need it to happen. Top right is self explanatory :)

More kisses!!!! The top kiss, you bet he’s carrying Unohana. And the bottom one was, once more, back anatomy practice. It turned into an intimate little kiss.

And a bonus Kenny in a Muppets shirt & dad hat?? Why not! (He’s either just arrived on set, or is done for the day & going home)
