(Since we saw how much Khao cherished the Dior pouch First bought him to the point he is still using it till now….here’s FK talking about it a few years ago)
does anybody else feel like a lot of sso's features aren't fully implemented lately? for example the championship season pass thing, I think that was so hidden. for no reason. i've had multiple people tell me they didn't even know it existed until somebody told them about it. and that seems like such a big flaw for a timed event and brand new feature??
i also felt very thrown into the deep end with the collections lately. both gm bee's bees and erissa's dolls didn't tell you anything about what you had to do! i loved the stars, i adored the spiders, this would be right up my alley. but all the confusion ruins it for me! why doesnt sso tell us how many things we have to collect? what's the diary even for if they don't add the new collection quests to it? i loved it as a way to keep track of your progress and get hints of the areas of the collectables you're still missing. the way it is right now it just incentivizes looking up guides instead of trying :(
Due to the shortage of bricks of certain colours, the mecha with cockpit is being halted. Looking at my abundant orange and adequate black, an idea of a humanoid mech with slim but long arms came to me.
I actually built the arms first and realized a slender (slimmer than Atlas) would go well with the arms. The idea of the mid section from the unfinished mech is put into this one to balance the proportion. Last but not least, I used the cone shaped pieces into legs.
All these designs required different type of joints, I developed them accordingly.
I literally made a backpack type cockpit but it did not turn out as nice as I liked due to how bulky it is compared to the overall slenderness.
So, WIP continues. Hope to update you all soon here!
i'm getting towards the end of the skypeia arc, & i'd like to say just how much i adore the way the female strawhats have been treated.
just... every aspect of how the way their characters have been previously contextualized influences the story-line is treated with a masterful amount of consideration. we're given so many layers to both of them that enrich not only their characters specifically, but the arc, and the one piece world as a whole. without nami & robin having their specific skills, and their specific values, without those being built upon, the story would have come to a halt.
you could not have skypeia without nami & robin being who they are as individuals. not just because they never would've gotten there without nami, but also because the way these women think is itself foundational to the machinations of the arc as a whole.
to be totally upfront, if you think any other strawhats were more central to the skypeia arc than nami & robin were you are full-on fucking lying to yourself.
