Mihawk is such a capricious dude, oh my god. The only dude you know who is always itching for a fight but only ever a specific kind of fight so he goes out of his way to take the path of least resistance for everything else.
Like he would rather leave than fight Don krieg, Sail away than decimate the marines, live in peace instead of challenging the other emperors for the one piece. And when they do he’d rather follow buggy’s idea of just being smarter about how they go about it instead of brute forcing it like the rest. He is constantly leaving fights but then a swordsman of mild repute and an interesting technique engages him in a battle and suddenly you have his whole attention. Like with vista it was obvious that he could have just cleared him like he did everyone else but he’d never seen the flower sword techinque and by god was he going to miss this chance. And so he engages him in what is essentially a spare.
Because Mans isn’t looking for a fight, instead, like a middle aged director of a short indie film, he’s chasing a feeling.
He wants to feel like his 19 year old self did when he was strong but there were people stronger. When there were still obstacles to overcome limits to exceed. When the world was large and exciting and he wasn’t just waiting for it to catch up with him. When he could look at Shanks as the person he is instead of the person he could have been.
He wants to look at Shanks and not see visions of a grinning red haired boy with 2 arms and a strawhat laughing in the dirt and asking for “just one more round Hawky I swear I’ll beat you this time”
But there is nowhere Mihawk can run that that boy won’t haunt him.

Going from the magnus archives to malevolent is kinda funny to me because, like, the characters in tma didn't have it easy by any means- had a really awful time actually- but it was all with an undertone of 'maybe none of this works out, but we tried our best and that matters'
And then you listen to malevolent and it's just Good God they're killing that man with sledgehammers.

It was kinda fun when in season 1 sometimes they just, forgot to add his bookteeth. Personally I think he looks more cute with bookteeth :3

"I'm the face man"
I'm OBSESSED with @sugarpasteltmnt fic NEON VOID on AO3!
I just had to try my hand on the latest scene! The back ground is from the ep. "AL be back" ... I'm not great at backgrounds yet 😅
This was so much fun to work on... I added some scars cause I felt like Leo would've obtained some scars in the prison dimension before he was infected.
not happy with some of the proportions and I'm still figuring out how to use my Wattpad 😅 but progress is progress 👍

Not getting over the duality between when you meet Rugan for the first time and he plays the Big Bad Zhent, promising you that Zarys will have your head if you steal their cargo, threatening you to be sure you don't cheat him if you convince him to make a deal "the Black Network had eyes and blades everywhere", kinda showing off with "I'll tell my associates to expect you".
And when you reach their hideout and Zarys just fucking roasts him publicly non. stop. "YOU GAVE THEM THE PASSWORD??" "You have fire in you, if only Rugan was like that we wouldnt be in this situation". "The Zhentarim look out for one of their own - even if it’s Rugan."
She's really like "Yes Rugan is the moron of the crew urgh Im so done I will complain about him to every single person walking by"
