HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANJI!!
I know it’s fanon at this point but I still think a lot about little Sanji getting used to his birthday being celebrated and being about him
BONUS:
Have I not posted this one here yet... my piece (ha) for a local onepiecezine from last year
started watching princess tutu in nov and im sooo obsessed with duck
The second ballet piece for Fakir/Ahiru is “The Nutcracker”(“Der Nussknacker” in German) which, through a few iterations, was based on German author E. T. A. Hoffmann’s story, “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King”.
The Princess Tutu character of Drosselmeyer was also inspired by the character of the same name from “The Nutcracker”, and many of the musical pieces feature in the anime. As a much-loved story about a plucky girl and a courageous swordsman who is more than meets the eye, it was only fitting that this ballet is a perfect fit for this pairing.
I’ve wanted to do a mini ballet inspired Princess Tutu fanart series, but this got put on hiatus when my dad got sick last year. I’m now finally getting around to it, and first up is none other than “Romeo and Juliet”, or to use its Italian title (the play does take place in Verona, Italy), “Romeo e Giulietta”.
The background silhouette is inspired by the art of Junichi Nakamura, who in turn inspired the use of silhouettes in shoujo anime such as Utena. The scene depicted in the background is the famous balcony scene, while the foreground is one familiar to PT fans: The Last Farewell. I tried to make the mood reminiscent of the lovers sharing one last late night pas de deux before they must part ways. Hopefully I managed to capture the angst in that scene 🤧
EDIT: added a close up cus I realized their faces are really small in the full size image and it’s hard to see the angst unless you zoom in 😂
