The new upcoming 2025 schedule

Ack, I've had to copy and paste this WAY too many times-

(Please excuse this being a copy and paste from my Patreon. I actually have to post this out on all of my social media platforms, and this is a lot to have to retype over and over again-)

Hey, my peeps!

So as we all know, Christmas is just around the corner, and usually with that follows the first of the year. So as I have done on all of my social media platforms, I will be shifting things around a bit and taking a break from social media as a whole until the beginning of next year. Now what does that mean exactly? Well it's simple!

Starting in 2025, I will be starting a new posting schedule. And more specifically, it will be starting the first Monday of 2025. Now granted, I could easily start posting a lot now, but as I've stated before, I have a lot I have planned out, and in order to give me that time to get to my end results, I have to start giving myself the time to do the things that I want to do. And I have a pretty general idea of what I want the schedule to be. So, going into the holiday season, here will be the the new schedule that (I hope) I'll be sticking to.

Monday: I will be starting to post out older (and the new as I finish them) artwork on a more fixed schedule to Patreon first, and then post the rest later on in the week.

Tuesday: I will not be prevalent on social media, but will be using this day to either work on art behind the scenes or writing, depending on which one I fall behind on.

Wednesday: I will be posting old streams up on my gaming/cosplay YouTube channel- that will also be coming with the start of the year- as well as uploading cosplay content.

Thursday: I will be spending Thursdays to mostly check up on all of my social media platforms (respond to everyone/ like comments/ etc.) as well as use Thursdays as my days to do cosplay content.

Fridays: I WILL be streaming more on Fridays. I want to make my art a lot more known, so I'll most likely be streaming most of the time on Fridays. The first half of the day will probably be on Twitch and the second half of the day will be on my art YouTube channel.

Saturdays/Sundays: I will be giving myself days off on these two days. Maybe in the near future if- and when- I can get a shop made up and going, I'll be using these days to make my merch/ art products. but for now, these are just days to relax and work on a current music project me and my brother are planning out.

Again, this may not be the permanent schedule, but I do want to try and stick to it. But until then, please enjoy the rest of the year!

Happy holidays!

Fun little heads up

Ok, please bear with me here for a few seconds- I won't be long, I'm going to try and be quick about this. So long story short, I'll be taking the next few weeks to try and clean up my account here. I didn't actually think this would become such a jumbled mess of things, but apparently it has, lol. And there's surprisingly a lot of you that have come across my account to read Appraise Love, so I have decided to do something a bit different than what I do for all of my other platforms (except Youtube, that's the only other one I've done something like this for-) So basically, here's the plan: I take all of my head canons, stories, writing works, etc. and put them on a dedicated account for JUST writing things, and then leave this as my art/cosplay account. I'm actually going to poll this as well because I don't honestly know what's more convenient for you guys and the way you find my writing. So I guess vote for now and I'll get back here once this is over to finish cleaning up my account :3

Here's part two for the concept designs! Up next we have Kimchi! (Or seagull boy as most of the crew nicknamed him.) You would think with a group of adults, at least one of them would be the navigator? But actually, no. This little rascal is the crew's navigator. While most people have to use a log pose, surprisingly Kimchi has a strong intuition and can usually lead the crew where they need to be without using a compass or map. None of the crew ever could figure out how he was able to navigate the sea, but according to his own account, he had been on the sea for three years alone before they found him. And speaking of finding, that's actually a funny story. At the time that they found him, Kimchi was on a makeshift raft in the middle of the ocean. The only reason they had ever taken him aboard was due to the fact that he was trying to catch a seagull to eat- hence the nickname 'seagull boy'. At the time that they found him, Kimchi was 11. This boy is an absolute riot to be around. He takes his role as a pirate 'very' seriously and will refuse to spill the beans about anything...unless, you know, you bribe him with a snickerdoodle or cinnamon roll. (or any cinnamon sweets for that matter-) Most of the time, just to mess with Woton or Ahiru and Shiro, Kimchi will usually take their belongings and hide them under his 'wizard hat' just to cause trouble at times...yes, the giant safety cone he has on is a wizard hat to him, do not try to reason with the boy, lol. The two little plush he has in the front pocket of his outfit are gifts from both Lee and Willow. While he may not say it, they do mean the world to him. (But he can't let people go thinking he enjoys something from two icky girls, now can he?)

I feel bad...I've been sitting here all day going 'huh...I wonder when Appraise Love is going to be updated'... How...tf did I forget that I'M THE ONE WRITING THE STORY?? Dunno, but I'm going to be working on it over the next couple of days since I somehow forgot, lol-

Mission failed.

Based on @mangyraccooon's prompt! ♥

Do you guys have any writing suggestions for a OP fanfic?

I have a couple of stories that I'm posting on Ko-fi, (and I'm trying to figure out AO3 so I can actually upload there, too-) and can't use those plots, and I'm debating on even still working on the winter one shot, but outside of that, I'd like to have an actual story to upload here on the back burner.

I am open to anything, so long as it's not smut right out of the gate. (I'm a sucker for stories with build up, and with how I write, I love paying mind to EVERY detail, so it would have to be an idea I'd be writing on for a while :3)

The one going up on Ko-fi is one that involves cats and getting sucked into the OP universe, and my irl book I'm writing basically is a kid's chapter book, so that involves a school kind of theme (yes. I actually am trying to publish a book. I'm probably going to also be using my Ko-fi to post teaser bits of that story up there to help kind of give it traction-)

Anyways, my point is that I'd like some kind of idea. Ok, I HAVE ideas, I have a whole catalog of them, but my question is if I should just bite the bullet and start writing one to upload here, or if you guys had a preference.

(I have to clarify that the reason I ask is simply for one reason: if you peeps leave it up to me, I'm gonna write an CC x reader where the reader is either insanely strong/buff/more body inclusive that matches my own head canons, or a normie damsel-in-distress. I have no happy medium XD)

Just a little animation I made of Lee a year-ish or so ago. ( I kind of want to redo it now since the timing for it is off and doesn't move as smoothly as I want it to, lol-...plus, I need to stop drawing Lee crying, she's not a crybaby. She's just traumatized-)

Another day, another character I've failed to memorize their birthday until too late :')

...at least I remembered tomorrow is Thatch's birthday XD

Happy Birthday

March 19

Part three of the concept designs :3 Up next on the roster is the crew's favorite giant man, Woton. (Though, on days he can quickly be considered a gentle giant...even if he won't admit it, lol.) Woton is actually an ex-marine, but is the crew's shipwright. At the time that he was originally taken into consideration but the crew to join them, he was actually trying to hunt them down. When Lee originally parted from her brother's crew, he tried to hunt them down in order to kill them. However, the reason he couldn't pull himself to was due to the fact that they decided to help him, nor did they ever try to fight his own men while trying to get away. The second time that they had an encounter was at the next island that they had docked at. Somehow, Woton's crew got mutilated by another pirate fleet, and most of the surviving men had sustained severe injuries. Lee's crew tried helping the best they could- and had even gone as far as to convincing the island's doctors to teach them what to do to help. During that time, Woton decided to interrogate Lee about any potential knowledge she had of the One Piece or affiliations with Gol Roger himself, yet after coming up short handed from what the World Government told him, he quickly came to the conclusion that she was innocent of their claims. In return for helping him and his men, he offered to repair the damage that they had done to her ship, resigned his position in the Marines, and ended up joining Lee's crew. Now, while this man does have a short temper on days, he can be just as patient. his favorite pass times include looking after Kimchi (and willow while she was a part of the crew)- though, it seems more like he was involuntarily assigned that job- managing the crew's finances, and collecting rare coins and gems...what, a man can have his hobbies, can't he? At the time of joining, Woton was 28. He is also the only member of the crew to have devil fruit powers.

Do you think Marco opens his glasses like Jodi Foster ie with his tongue?

Uhm absolutely ?!
