Haha I’m just glad it turned out pretty clean here. But yeah Rosinante is hands down one of my favorite anime characters. He’s cool, a huge klutz like whenever he lights up a cigarette, he always set himself on fire much to the annoyance of Law. Aaaaand his heartbreaking death scene and final farewell to Law. No one really had that kind of emotional impact on me like Rosinante. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl3zX2auDCE) This video pretty much shows just what kind of a person he was in One Piece. ---

> [@Okami-Nora](#): > > Teasing (the more reactive the person, the more he gets a kick out of teasing them. He does also enjoy the challenge of making a person who rarely gets flustered blush as well. He tries not to go too far though). Shit. Damon and Nyx is like oil and water, people with that trait tick her off. A lot. _But you know what they say, opposites attract._ _Well I’m going to write that fic now._ > [@rose-court](#): > > Love the new hairdo @Fay! Very sophisticated. > > And please, please write the fanfic if you’d like. As my writing teachers have always said, “The only way to get better is to practice, and the only way to practice is to write.” > > Besides, if it’s even half as entertaining as your posts then I’m sure I’ll love it! _Excuse me, but marry me please???_ Thanks for the support. ![Bildresultat för thank you for your support meme](https://i.imgflip.com/1456un.jpg) ---

Still afk-ish (slightly more active on tumblr if you want to chat with me) but since I got an ask asking about what am writing on with Sophia, decided to share it here so have a snippet > **She Deserves Good Things Tbh** > > Sophia smells like a girl drowning in her own memories. > > Every night, in the stillness of forgotten alleys and city lights, the pungent taste of salt — so very much like how the bay air used to smell like when her Aunt Alice would take her to trips along the shore — clings to skin. Her hair and back are slick with sweat, like the sand that used to pebble along the gaps between her toes, as she clutches around the thin sheet of her sleeping bag. _Tighter, Tighter, Tighter._ > > She never really dreams. There are only nightmares when she sleeps. ---

in other news, it warms my heart how lots of us are getting into writing blurbs/fanfics for our Laveis and the rest of the Essenverse. If @Fay can produce a fic, then maybe I might too! lol ---

Can I tell you guys a secret? I don’t really like the Bearer or Aeson’s surnames. They’re so weird when everything is taken into consideration. > **Under the cut because I'm sure it doesn't bug most of you the way it does me.** > > Yeah, to me it seems _Thantos_ is just a corruption of the Greek _Thanatos_ which is altogether odd to me since Thanatos was a Greek god in his own right, not simply an aspect of Hades. > > As a matter of fact, it’s actually up for debate whether or not Thanatos was originally an aspect of _Hermes_ in his Psychopomp role (Guide of the Dead) that simply grew into its own godhood. > > By contrast, Angelis is…even odder, to say the least. > Angel, the word, comes from the Latin _angelus_ meaning _messenger_ which itself is a loanword from Greek _aggelos_ which might itself be a loanword. > > Regardless, _Angelis_ as a surname is quite…plain. There’s no intrinsic meaning or symbolism associated with the word in Ancient Greek, it simply mean _messenger_, most likely the mounted, courier kind. > > Everything that we (in the West) think of when we hear the word _angel_ comes directly from Christian theology. > > Thusly, any duality in meanings and symbolism for Thantos/Angelis are…inherently Western and completely hinge upon Christianity which, I’ll be honest, has always bugged me about the game, because then holy shit, _Where the hell does Jesus fit in all this??_ > > I will say this. > While I don’t especially like _Thantos_ as Aeson’s surname, _Angelis_ does fit Priscilla really well, considering that she _delivers_ the prophecy. > But other than that…eh. I would prefer something different for Aeson. > > Personally I would give him a surname like Theodorakis (son of Theodore, which itself means _god-given_), Panagakos (_leads from the front_), or Thanos (_immortal_ ~~oh the irony~~ ) if you really want the whole ‘death’ angle. And @violet yes, pls, write! I love reading the fanfics you guys make! ---

> [@rose-court](#): > > Where the hell does Jesus fit in all this?? Oh don’t you see? You’re the child of God! That means _you_ are Jesus! So is Adonis, Aeson, Avery, Calypso, Saint, Sage, Santiago and every demigod ever but let’s just gloss over that. ---
