Vietnamese mythology here (chopped and mixed)
According to Cadière, Giran and Shinkarev, a tiger that killed 100 people gets an ability to turn human and speak like one. The man-eating tiger gets a red spot on the ear for each victim. The souls of those people remain in the human realm, serving as slaves to their killer, luring fresh prey and sometimes even leading the tiger to their own home (that's why it's believed that if a tiger had killed someone from your household he'd definitely come back to kill again).
Those souls travel on the tiger's back.
Last day -- Captain himself:)
I just had to add that huge-ass syringe to make the ink even cooler.

Day 7 -- Bepo -- Return
(this one is my personal favourite)
Day 5 -- Clione -- Food
Sea angels prey on the sea devils (or sea butterflies). In my hc Clione is that one person you find in your kitchen at 3 a.m. staring into the void, munching on paper towels and mustard-covered grapes.
Heart pirates find him adorable.
Day 4 Ikkaku -- Night
...or rather a Knight. The knight on a sea unicorn, which is much cooler than any common white horse or whatever.
Day 3 - Penguin - Loyalty
Antarctic pearlwort is one of two flowers that grow in, well, Antarctica (and the only one that actually looks like a flower). If that's not a great allegory to "I'll stay here no matter what" I don't know what is.
Celebrating the change of seasons.
The Chukchee believe that orcas can shapeshift: when winter comes they turn into wolves and go deer hunting merrily until summer. Also orcas can be bribed with tobacco (so am I)
Jean Bart - cursed
Because curses are made to be broken

Sanji week day 3 : SACRIFICE
Imagine how long and cringe this scene would be in the anime.
Spoilers below!
The time to reblog has come (✯ᴗ✯)
ive been playing ragnarok again
Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg, Russia. Translation: Dreams come true if you're not an asshole
"Wave" by Aivazovsky is kept in the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
I can't remember the exact name of the village, but it's somewhere in Crimea, presumably south.
Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia. The photo shows a part of the Kul Sharif Mosque. Sanji holds echpochmak, a Tatar and Bashkir national dish, a bun with meat. On the territory of the Kazan Kremlin there was a New Year's fair, where I tried my first echpochmak with duck liver and finally fell in love with it.
A monument to flooded ships in my hometown of Sevastopol. I drew this because of a phrase I saw a long time ago. "Why do we need Paris and the whole world? Imagine me in Sevastopol kissing with you."
Does it all make any sense? I don't know. I just decided to put northblueboys in Russian cities and go through my pics. Next year I'm going to visit Volgograd and I'm in great anticipation because I'll be able to see the Motherland Calling with my own eyes, like for real, like wow. (Also, @/sobakensyn's gift made me think of rusreal)

For wonderful @ulysses000 , your Eastern European wall carpet vibe LawSan touched my old heart in places I didn't know exist 💔
