"That's," Forrest broaches, "quite the outfit you have on."
"Thanks," Cecil replies. "You, too. I wanted to try matching with what other people in town have on. Blinding colors. Ghastly, even."
"Ha, yeah. Well, it is the trend now, I guess."
"What year is it?" Cecil asks.
"Hm?" Forrest starts to smirk.
"What year is this?" Cecil asks.
"Only '87. What year is it where you're from?"
"There isn't one right now," Cecil answers.
"Ohhh," Forrest hums. "I see. That sounds like it'd be great for someone's complexion."
"It is! Except when it isn't. Depending on the time of day, people can turn to ash in an instant."
"Well, no wonder you're visiting here, if you're into people turning to ash in an instant."

hello I think I really like the mini album
the intro instrumental bangs even if it makes the album 4 songs instead of the promised five… this is 8d we are talking about here I can’t get mad at this point lol
DOPAMINE. Hello. Hi. i almost feel like this was created in a lab specifically for me. cute keyboard into breakbeat with interestingly textured layers??? RIE????????? and that chorus is so fun oh my goodness. and that’s not to mention the choreo.
also based on the preview I did not think I’d like give me the love but I do. I do.
can someone talk to me about how O has the line “stuck in a time loop” bc I might have to add it into the onlyoneof duologies playlist as the first trilogy with time leap and time machine
and gravity??? i got the biggest smile on my face when I realized the synth reminded me of blossom

Omg you're officially starting an ace seraphim project.. Wishing you strength and inspiration!!! I remember you vaguely mentioning an idea along these lines in your tags a month or two ago? and it was like an epiphany in my brain and I was patiently waiting to see if you'd ever post more about it so really excited now (but also no pressure at all!) :))
yeah, i am!! ahh that's so sweet that you remembered :')) it's something i've been planning since like…early april lol, but i took about a month away from it to write my sanji vs king fic and now that it's finished, i'm back babey. i too was super compelled by the fandom's collective idea of seraphim ace, and since no long fic exists exploring what a trainwreck this little angel has the potential to be, i decided to take it upon myself. i'm honestly really excited too :D and PLEASE pressure me lmao i gotta get out of my own head and start writing this monstrosity
since you reached out (tysm for doing so <3) i'll give you (and anyone else reading this) the elevator pitch i've given my friends when i first introduce this fic idea to them!
elevator pitch below cut :)
alright. the general premise of the seraphim ace fic is that vegapunk created seraphim ace (s-flame) in secret with the aim of him being like -- a safety measure, made to stop the other seraphim if necessary. since vegapunk can't produce logias, s-flame has charlotte oven's devil fruit: the heat-heat fruit, where he is able to superheat his body with virtually no upper limit due to his increased lunarian & pacifista durability. this gives him an advantage over all the other seraphim, because his fire is exponentially hotter than theirs.
the whole thing is....extremely poetic in a twisted way. vegapunk knows that hotter fire can beat less hot fire because akainu's magma is what killed ace. so he created s-flame to stop his own brothers & sister in the very same way the person he was made from was murdered.
eventually, s-flame meets luffy and the SHs when they arrive in egghead, and learns even more about the original ace. he's always been a lonely, angry kid like ace, but now he has even more turmoil towards his own existence. essentially: he doesn't want to be ace, but he knows that if he isn't ace, he isn't loved. everyone he meets mourns him and he's not even dead. he has the same relationship with ace that ace had with roger: he resents and blames ace for the way the world feels about his existence. so the more he rejects ace, the more he becomes ace.
the whole thing is one very long existential crisis about individuality, the interconnectedness of healing and grief, and s-flame reverse-engineering why ace was loved through learning about his interactions with others. it's a struggle between wanting to live up to ace's memory while also separating himself from ace's identity itself. he wants to be loved for himself, not who he's made from, so it's his journey discovering who he is, who ace was, and where to draw the line between them while forging new bonds along the way.
i'm really looking forward to this project, so thanks for the encouragement!! <333
