screencap redraws!! feels like I haven’t done any in ages haha

"You're still here, after all this time".

bonus doodles cause I'm completely normal about the update (she was not normal about the update).

major spoilers for one piece manga chapter 1138

so, looking at the mural at the end of the chapter we've got a lot of things that are familiar

but i was thinking. kouzuki toki said a prophecy right before she died that has similar wording to the story of the three worlds

i know that it's likely this prophecy has been fulfilled at the end of wano, but i wondered if maybe it was referring to the third world as well.

from what i interpret of the mural, each world is the three times the sun god appeared. first, the fruit was formed from the wishes of the slaves who desired freedom - since vegapunk said that devil fruits come from wishes or dreams. second, joyboy appeared and gathered people, and they fought against what we now know as the world government before they rose the water levels. and finally, luffy appears.

toki was born 830 years ago, i think, which would put her at the end of the void century, so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to say she knows about all of this. the nine shadows/the unbidden shadows could be luffy's crew..?

idk. i could be completely wrong, but i wanted to point it out. food for thought.

REAL

i forgot how scared i am of jello - jelly?

jello-

icky texture food that makes me want to vomit my insides out

this

i wanna talk about this shot

oh..

been seeing a lot of people talking about how weird jax was in the recent tadc episode, and i wanted to share my thoughts about it

to me, this whole episode was about masking, both in a literal sense and an emotional sense, and what happens when people can't mask anymore. it was mostly focused on gangle, and how she's trying to keep herself together and happy despite not feeling that way, but i also think this theme spread to the other characters as well.

there are a handful of characters that i think mask, or hide themselves more than the others. starting off with zooble, who hides in their room because they don't feel comfortable with themself, being forced to interact with the others and do the adventure.

then, ragatha, who tries so hard to make others like her and saying what she thinks they want to hear, ends up drugged or drunk or whatever which takes away her filter and causes her to say what she really thinks.

finally, jax, who i think values control, which is almost impossible to get in a place where your whole life is controlled by someone else. so he acts a certain way and he does what he can to get whatever amount of control that he can over a situation to prove that the digital circus doesn't have full power over him. sometimes i think he acts like a jerk as a way to control what others hate about him, instead of them hating him for things he can't control. some form of coping mechanism or smth, but i don't think we know enough about jax to say that for sure. he might just be a jerk for the fun of it.

but he loses that control in this episode. gangle, the one person he has the most power over out of the group, now has power over him and when he pushed back against that, she sent him to the training room where he was physically restrained and forced to watch the training video. that's why i think he was so off this episode. because his way of coping with being stuck in the circus wasn't working and there was nothing he could do about it

but hey, that's just a theory

Hello! I found out about Corduroy Stew weeks ago and I love the characters and everything you made about them so far! Also, I have a question and I don't know if you answered this but...what is WB's actual name? Like what do the letters in his name mean?

I was wondering when someone would ask this!

I’m going to do this. I’m going to throw his name out into the void and give you no context whatsoever yet:

This was one of the early concepts I did of Doey in preproduction! I thought it would be cool if the player would be running with kissy after you betray Doey and you have a surprise encounter him when he finds you. Aka this would be taken moments before he goes ape shit :) Process is down below
