I think my favorite thing about Netflix One Piece is that at first, it appears that they've made Zoro much smarter than he is in the anime. But then over time there's this dawning realization.
he's not smart.
He's just very confidently stupid.
He comes across as smarter because he doesn't talk enough for it to be immediately clear that his brain is just a hamster wheel with a hamster that only runs if he's holding a sword.
Zoro only looks smart because he's standing next to Luffy, who helped set the standard for shounen-protagonist brain damage.

Journey Through Multiverse II
Damian, talking with Batman 666 : So, you gave your soul to the demon and that gave you immortality.
Batman 666: That's right, I can even use a couple of magic tricks.
Damian: Cool.
Raven: Damian Thomas Wayne Al Ghul, don't even think about it.
Damian: What?
Raven: Swear to me that under no circumstances will you sell your soul to the demon.
Batman 666: Too late Witch Girl, he, like me, has already eternally bound his soul to the demon and that is not going to change.
Raven: Not if I can help it.
Damian, confused : Wait what? I haven't even been in contact with a-
Batman 666: *winks*
Damian, looks closely at Batman 666 who is looking at Raven and, after thinking about it for a while, turns to Raven and nods : He's right. My soul belongs to the demon and what's worse I gave it for free. But I do not regret.
*Damian and Raven get into a heated argument*
Raven: I'll find a way to undo it!
Damian: You can't.
Raven: No Damian! Why? At what point did you do it?
Damian: The moment I met you.
Raven: Wait what?
Damian and Batman 666: *smiling with the same smile*
Raven: *blushes*
Batman 666, smirking : The White Witch will never believe me when I tell her this.

⚔️ How ‘bout a li'l training montage? 🏹
(ID: Kirby series fanart of Shadow Kirby honing his battle skills with various different Copy Abilities, feat. Dark Meta Knight and Shadow Dedede. More detailed descriptions below the cut. END ID.)
Part 1 | Part 2 (here!)
So I keep thinking about how Shadow Kirby is confirmed in canon to be just as powerful and capable as regular Kirby, so long as he can push past his own reluctance and fears. Then I started thinking about the unique color palette he has for the Fighters games, if that could be a sort of visual indicator of him reaching that full potential. Then I started thinking about who was around to teach him these skills, and the differences in their techniques, and how SD’s treatment of SK might be vastly different from DMK, and how that affects the relationship that DMK & SD might have, and how it all ties in to the sociopolitical climate of the Mirror World as a whole, and oh stars dammit am I making another AU again???
On an unrelated note, screw the Mirror World for giving everyone in it just the most annoying color palettes to shade. Grays on grays on grays and sometimes red but mostly grays. I am languishing in render hell and ready to move on to the next one thank you. Too many headcanons - not enough time or hands or energy.
UPDATE 03/01/24: Changed SK's eyes to purple instead of blue, and changed DMK's cape from gray to dark red.
Started 11/7/23, finished 11/16/23. NOTE: This was originally posted on my deleted account on 11/16/23.

Image descriptions
Top left: SK in Ninja gear, facing left, looking focused and holding out his katana, imitating DMK standing beside him in a similar pose with his own sword.
Top middle: SK in Archer gear, leaping up to fire an arrow from his bow.
Top right: SK in Bomb gear - also sporting his darker swirl coloration from Kirby Fighters - winking and sticking his tongue out as he tosses a bomb towards the viewer.
Middle: SK - in Wrestler gear with KF colors - delivering a strong leaping kick to a wooden training dummy, while DMK & SD observe in the background. SD stands with arms crossed and eyes narrowed, his mouth pulled into a sinister, calculating grin. DMK stands at his side, wrapped in his cape with eyes hidden in the shadows of his mask, a pensive ellipsis over his head.
Bottom left: SK facedown on the floor with a cross of bandages on his head, exhausted from training. DMK’s hand awkwardly comes in from off-screen, placing a bottle of Energy Drink beside him.
Bottom right: SK powering up into his KF form, fists clenched, eyes squeezed shut, mouth open in a roar, an aura of purple-black flame flickering around him.)

Took me all week since I was using a new drawing program and I'm still learning digital art in general, but I made a Faeu Sona! haven't even made a reference sheet for my regular sona...
Anyways, this is Cricket! She doesn't have wings since she's a beast type fae but that doesn't slow her down. (I'm taking some liberties here, the point is she's not based on an insect.)
@owl-bones @antlered-prince I wanted to make something inspired by your au since it's so pretty already! I hope it's okay.
@sparticus2000art I though you might like seeing the finished product since we were chatting about it.
Transcript:
Nightmare: "I thought I told you not to come back. How'd you even get in?"
Cricket: *chuckles* "It's just so hard to stay away from you, handsome~"
Nightmare: *unamused* "Get out."
Cricket: *pathetically* "No... Please, let me love you!"
Facts and close ups under the cut!
She has multiple names but Cricket is her favourite name that she only reveals to very close friends. She considers this her true name.
She was actually a human once, but since she tended to be a kleptomaniac, it got her in a world of trouble. After getting caught stealing from, unbeknownst to her, a powerful fae, she became indebted to them and was cursed. Her unique stripes serve as a warning to others that she is a known thief and isn't to be trusted.
She hasn't learned her lesson, although she has gotten better at not getting caught. Occasionally, she'll make deals with unsuspecting mortals or new fae but most of the time she just takes what she wants.
She prefers small items, especially shiny ones, that won't be easily missed. Her pockets are often full of ill gotten trinkets and she's hesitant to part with any of them.
She also has a bad habit of breaking and entering. She's pretty much a nomad since most people don't like her and tend to get upset if their stuff goes missing. As such, she often sneaks into houses and other buildings to spend the night. Sometimes she gets away with it but a lot of times the resident has to chase her off.
She's very charismatic and will turn the charm up to 100 if she thinks she can get something from you or is in a bad spot. Most older fae can see this for what it is though - a distraction.
She's also a not-so-secret admirer of Nightmare, The King of Winter, although he doesn't return her affections, much to her dismay. Most of her time is spent simping plotting a way to get his attention, although no matter how hard she tries, his eye socket is always on someone else.
Every now and then she manages to find a way into his castle, usually by fooling newer fae in his court or by other means. She's technically banned and is thrown out whenever she's caught. She's also banned from the Summer court for obvious reasons.
