Black Flag at San Pedro High School on October 20, 1981 with new singer Henry Rollins in one of his first performances with the band.

Mescalito sketch update, and 😭angry small peyote if you scroll to the end.

San Pedro doesn't ask if you're ready, even if you're sketching.

He just opens.

I've been painting him for weeks. Every time I sit down I think I know what's coming and every time his face comes through different. More patient. More ancient. More amused by how long it took me to start listening.

The moon at his brow isn't decoration. It's a timer. A marker of the tides you don't control — the ones that move through you whether you invited them or not.

He is the medicine that loves you enough to show you what you've been hiding from yourself.

Not gently.

Accurately.

This sketch came through at 2am. The cactus columns grew into the crown before I decided they would. The crescent settled at the third eye because that's where it belongs — where the inner sight lives, where the visions enter, where you stop being the one asking questions and become the one receiving answers.

He's been a presence in my practice long before I understood what that meant.

Imagine a small canon divergent where sanji didnt immediately get taken by the bege pirates (they showed up later when the rest is already there) and in the time it took for the rest to arrive sanji had a whole romantic plot with Pedro (and Nami with Wanda but lets be reeaall) and when they show up its just nami in a beautiful dress and sanji in a big ass coat 😭😭

No but fr would love to hear ANY thoughts you have

Imagine the crew coming back, the minks and whatever strawhats are there, after kicking the beast pirates asses just find Sanji and Nami both with minks. Pedro is in fucking awe of Sanji's fighting style and absolutely lights Sanji's cigarettes whenever possible and I already said he has DILF vibes which Robin immediately clocks and gives Sanji, in that big ass coat and none of his clothes fit Pedro so it's just like a mark of ownership, a look with a knowing smile and he's just begging her to keep quiet, it's the first time in a while he's gotten laid okay? We're not unpacking the emotional baggage of Sanji dating a DILF. We're not.

He'd go to Wano and fuss over Sanji's injuries like Chopper. He easily flusters Sanji who is still so unused to receiving any affection?? It's wild. DILF Pedro making sure Sanji keeps the coat and leaves with one of Sanji's ties or something when they go back to Zou. He's seen in it a lot. Nami and him will LOCK the galley to talk about their partners. They don't need anyone else to hear what they've done, okay?
