And here's part 2 of the SI fanfic This Bites by Xomniac. Oh boi was this a doozy. Soundbite is really fun to draw with all sorts of expression using his eyes and due to his power I get to mess around with the text a bit.
This Bites! By Xomniac Fanart because I just finished it and I’m re-reading it because I can’t wait for more
The First sticker has several meanings in it. The yellow and red rings are references to Luffy’s hat/The Strawhat flag. The black and white tiles are for Soundbite. The wooden beams are referencing to a steering wheel/helm of a ship. The sticker as a whole is supposed to look like a steering wheel/helm in general. And the Cross is referencing Jeremiah Cross. I hope what I have drawn up looks clear enough to see all of those points.
The Second sticker is just a chibi!Cross and Soundbite talking on the SBS in their studio on the Thousand Sunny. I might redraw it later on, but I’m happy with it right now.
And another little gift for the beautiful @neonsoundbite/@kyber-infinitygems. And yes that's why I asked about the song. Wanted it to be another suprise because I love making suprises :)
She used the word “deplorable,” to describe people who would soon:
applaud Muslim travel bans,
celebrate families separated at the border,
abide children being placed in cages,
demonize teenage shooting victims,
defiantly deny the value of black lives,
vilify sexual assault survivors,
bless a predator to the Supreme Court,
cheer Presidential rally cries of shooting immigrants,
approve of the suppressing of Special Counsel reports,
sanction the complete perversion of our Rule of Law.
Deplorable, was being kind.

My eyes widened in panic as I caught sight of the snail's grin all but doubling in size. "Oh nonono wait don't-!"
Too late. Before anyone could react, Soundbite seemed to split his head in half as he opened his maw...
CHOMP! "YEEEEAAAAAARGH!"
And bit down on Usopp's nose, hanging on for dear life as he was swung around and around by the pirate's pained flailing, his by-now-trademark cacophony of laughter echoing throughout the clearing.
I could feel, feel my eye twitching as I watched the spectacle. "As you can see, I didn't name him without reason." I explained in a deadpan tone of voice.
"You have our sympathy." Zoro, Sanji and Nami chorused with the exact same amount of emotion.
