Sanji week Day 3: Sacrifice

Aughh I'm ssooo normal about WCI

My Roman Empire

Everyday I wake up in agony knowing that Kokichi’s only wish was to meet up with everyone and died before getting the chance to do so!!

Everyday I wake up in agony knowing that everyone thinks kokichi is a traitor and that he worked with mahito for his own selfish reasons when he actually did it for his friends and they will never know about that!!

Everyday I wake up in agony knowing that Miwa wanted to visit him but she never got the chance!!

Everyday I wake up in agony knowing that one of the other reasons kokichi ‘betrayed’ everyone is that he just felt insecure because he liked Miwa, but since she only saw mechamaru, he had to work with mahito for a normal body so that maybe, she would like him back!!

Everyday I wake up in agony knowing that Miwa probably had so much more she wanted to say to him but didn’t have the time as the machine shut down!!

Everyday I wake up in agony knowing that kokichi knew his time was limited and so made the communication devices as back up to confess his love to Miwa if he never would have the chance to do so himself!!

Everyday I wake up knowing that they are literally each others ‘halfs’. Kokichi’s birthday: October 4th. Miwa’s birthday: April 4th. Kokichi’s cause of stress: everything. Miwa’s cause of stress: none!!

Everyday I wake up in agony knowing that Miwa was the only character Gege could write Romance about, but still found a way to make it fucking tragic!!

Everyday I wake up in agony knowing that kokichi is DEAD. And we were robbed of literally the only canon ship in jjk!!

sometimes a family unit can be a teenage girl burdened with the fate of an entire indigenous people, a retired terrorist desperately trying to un-retire, a guy whose special interest is guns and who stims by shooting people, and a wriggly guy

Physically I'm here but mentally I'm- Sasuke Uchiha's feelings of inadequacy started way earlier than we initially believed with his own father, intentionally or not, showing blatant favoritism between him and his brother. Then, he ends up hating himself for surviving when everyone had died and his survivor's guilt culminated in him wishing for nothing more than to just give his life meaning by killing the person he believes made him suffer so much. THEN, he ends up having his entire world view essentially shattered and being manipulated by people stronger than him and by the end of it all he's so filled with self loathing and rage that he fully believes having the entire world hate him is what he has to do in order for things to be right holy shit.

john wells gave us s10 debbie and we were like “wow, things seem to actually be going well for her. maybe she’s actually gonna be happy for onc-” and then she gets arrested and in the next season is absolutely miserable and her entire family mocks and bullies her and lip tries to steal her house and it ends with her in an abusive relationship. literally WHY

also setting aside 14 shafting so many female characters, papalymo is my roman empire of characters the game doesn't pay lip service to

hi! not an unpopular opinion, but i’m so interested to see how they continue to adapt annabeth’s relationship with her parents in the show?? cause even in the books i wasn’t totally sold that they were redeemable after what she told us about her childhood, but in the show they REALLY are not making frederick chase and athena look good so i’m just interested to see how that plays out - how that will shape how annabeth views her mother, whether she’ll stay with her dad, etc. etc. curious to hear any of your thoughts!

Someone should take away the demons book from me

I reread „the last vodka” scene again, and what I found was that while Kirillov was making food for Fedka, Fedka was preparing tea for Kirillov. Like it’s legit said, that samovar was prepared by Fedka for „Alexei Nilych”

Another way of saying that sometimes kindness can really save a person istg

oh congrats you caught the trauma. this is one of the artstyles they use a little bit less for him in the comics, but i personally love it. also this issue sucked ass for him its during the zombot arc and uh its when that guilt and the situation as a whole really starting crushing him. usually he's a bit more silly goofy in his expressions but in this specific chunk of em i have he looks so much more serious and it makes me a little :(

[dustydaddyyy]

[PRINT] - [COMMISSIONS]

Bonus sketch, process and rambling below vvv

I don't usually share my sketches, but this one was cute :))

Hello welcome to my rambling zone, I have the bad habit of taking notes during the night because I'm an insomniac- enjoy ! And remember everything here is just my opinion written at 5am

I have a lot of conflicting feelings about Seras, because on one hand there is a lot I hate about her character :

-I *hate* her design. She is sexualized in a way that makes me really uncomfortable

-She is always the character that brings the worst part of the show (especially in the beginning) : the humor (and misogyny). She is treated as both the audience surrogate, and a comic relief, and that's a mix that do not work for me (and if you add the fact the humor doesn't make me laugh, and that she is more often than not treated as a pair of boobs and not a character- well it's hard for me to take her seriously)

-she was a cop (acab). And Alucard doesn't let me forget that because he calls her "police girl" the whole fucking show.... (But I can't complain about that because I kind of liked the pay off-)

-I find her romance with Pip boring (mainly because I find Pip boring I'm sorry), even tho I liked where it went. But if I find the man more interesting dead idk if that's a success.

-Her last apperance will always enrage me. After all her character growth, after you thought the writers *maybe* respected her a bit more..... One of the last thing you see from her is a panty shot. How to spit in my face for enjoying the ending ig

But on the other hand, despite all that.... The end of her character arc was kind of sick and she gets a lesbian ending lgkgkckgj so 5/10 character could be worse ig

But the shit that gets to me about all of that... is that I know Hellsing can pull off great women characters !! Integra is *right there* !!!

All of this to say I like doing fanart of mid medias I love because I get to fix some aspects of the original I didn't like <3

PS : I know Alucard is "dead" during the 30 years after the final, but you can decide if he is the dog or if they adopted a dog that reminded them of him :)

Okay, review time!! If you are one of the oddballs who thinks you cant be critical of something you love I suggest you stop reading now before I ruffle your feathers. Iron flame, second in the empyrean series. I am gonna start with what I was not a fan of and then go into the shit I adored.

1) what in the actual fuck was the pacing of this book?? I can tell you what, it was non existent. There was none. Where I thought there was a lot of filler in the last book there was none in this one. We got snap shots of conversations and then *boom* more plot flew at you. The timeline of this book greatly suffered for it i think bc we end only a couple weeks, if that, after threshing, which happens sometimes in October. This book was actually so wild with times.

2) while it was a spectacular cliff hanger, xaden becoming venin pisses me off. Especially if Rebecca yarros isnt going to have him tell violet. Like if that small tid bit of a conversation we got wasnt him telling vi that he was venin then the entire romantic conflict of this book was rendered pointless and their going to be having the same fucking fight for the rest of the series and at rhat point I give up.

3) I understand that the revolution is trying to take down basgaith and make the world better or whatever the fuck but can someone actually formulate a real plan for me?? Because I feel like their mission is just, giving violet and xaden something to be pissed at each other about.

4) the entirety of cats character. I get that she was set up as a spin on the typical jealous ex. Like having her be bitter about xaden picking violet over her but OH WAIT it wasnt actually about the man it was about the crown, oohh not like other girls. Im a writer too I see the point. I dont care. I think it was trashy. If you wanted her to be a bitter spiteful ex then have her be a bitter spiteful ex, the whole crown thing was shallow.

OKAY haters your time is up now onto the shit that made my heart hurt with joy and sadness

1) xadens arc in this book. I really liked that he went from "transparency is never gonna happen" to losing his fucking mind over violet and giving her everything. I love feral men and he qualifies. I think his arc was really well done and i liked it.

2) I appericiate that violet stuck to her guns for this book. She wouldnt let xaden off without a fight and I loved that. She made him bow and scrape and I was eating it up. It was spectacular.

3) the throne room scene. Violet on the throne. "Im making a temporary point not a lasting vow of maschocism" xaden being feral.

4) that gets its own point actually, just xaden being completely feral this entire book healed a part of my soul.

5) andarna's little speech at the end where she was like "I waited for you violet" made me ugly cry. That was just so hopelessly good I loved it. Andarna in general heals my heart but that part was just *chefs kiss*

6) tarin being completely and utterly ready to eat people this entire book. Just, at every turn "I want lunch their pissing me off " was spectacular

7) every scene their squad was in. Rihannon, violet, sawyer and ridoc are my roman empire. Their bond is so amazing. The fact that they launched a rescue mission for violet. Rihannon being ready to kill xaden at every turn. Ridoc being so platonically and adorably in love with violet. Just- augh happy cries happy cries. I love it all. Their so special tbh.

8) I love xaden actually, just, the whole book every scene hes in lives in my brain.

9) I liked that we saw a small bit of violet being feral this book too. I hope that we get more of that in future books. I want more of violet losing her fucking mind. Hot, badass women covered in blood

10) Liam. Fucking Liam. When violet was kidnapped and Liam was there. Now, do I logically understand that he was a hallucination, yes, do i care?? No. He was a gift from Maleck I will be hearing no critiques on that. It was so fucking sweet and amazing. I love violet and Liam and Liam being dead so horribly breaks my heart. I loved Liam. Liams death lives rent free in my skull.
