"oh Astarion is SOOOO effeminate" wrong. You are judging Astarion by human genders. Astarion is first and foremost a high elf and by high elf standards he is actually INCREDIBLY masc. Other high elves look at him and he reminds them of that one annoying straight guy in their elf-economics (elfenomics if you will) class in elf-college who loved playing devil's advocate. And then they see him kiss a guy and they almost die of shock.
Sasaki: It's full of that illusion mist of yours is int it?
Maria: ... No
You: She's lying, I can see something distorting the air inside.
King: It's her illusion mist, it makes you relive your worst memories.
You: Joke's on you, I don't need your mist to do that, my brain does it for me.
Sasaki: that's sad... so race through the hallucinogen filled maze?
You: *gets into position* and looser has to be the one to go get drinks for the group*
Sasaki: Deal
King: ready... set... go!
Sasaki: *shoves you and bolts through the maze* haha, have fun being our booze bitch for the entire night!
King: *flies leisurely overhead and watches you two get pelted with candy by crew members in the maze*
After loosing Sasaki in the maze, and needing a lift from King
King: *notices you're pouting* It's okay, he actually cheated, he used his devil fruit.
You: that son of a-
Kaido: Oi!! *Gestures for you two to come over* Come on, the food has just arrived, and I've got Saki.
King: May (y/n) join us for a while? *Lands and puts you down* they just lost a race to Sasaki over at Maria's maze.
You: King, why'd ya have to tell him.
Kaido: wohrororororor ! Fret not, there's plenty to go round. *Gestures to the servants*
You: *gets handed a glass of liquor* ah, thank you, booze, your favorite!
Kaido: it is my favorite, how do you know that?
You: Just a lucky guess, *shotguns the drink*
Goon: Kaido sir! Ulti has started a fight with your son, they are currently destroying the east brain banquet hall.
Kaido: *pinches the bridge of his nose as he composes himself*
You: Backpack leash, you should get one.
Kaido: what?
You: it's an animal-shaped harness and leash for a child.
Kaido: ...Tell Sasaki to stop what he's doing and go break up the fight.
King: what is it with this crew and fighting so much. They don't even fight to kill, and without killing what's the point?
You: It's because the only things that they have that are lower than their collective IQ are their emotional intelligence and conflict management skills.
Kaido: It's fine, don't bother, let them fight amongst themselves. They'll be too divided to even think about unifying against us.
You: ... You really are the scariest motherfucker around, Kaido.
Kaido: *playfully bats his hand at you* stahp, you're gonna make me blush.
King: Kaido-san, will you think of joining us to go to the carnival games after dinner?
Kaido: Why not, I have an order of apple cider doughnuts with a caramel glaze to pick up over at the the cat café's stall.
After dinner at the cat café with Kaido and King
You: I didn't take you for a doughnut man. *Buying sweets as well*
Kaido: I'm usually not, but I happen to once a year to enjoy one with a nice cup of stiff whiskey, while enjoying an autumn moon.
You: that sounds delightful.
King: *nods in agreement*
Kaido: alone *walks off*
You: fine, I'll find a different spot to get drunk, stuff my face, and look at the sky! *Takes a chomp out of a cookie*mmmhh! Butter pecan, my favorite. *taps some of the powdered sugar from the cookie onto King's boot.*
King: *uses his calf to push you* ay! I outta make you lick this shit off.
You: You'd enjoy that wouldn't you.
King: probably but you know you wanna play some of the games with me. You can pick the first one, come on.
Okay so I’ve been wanting to do a Sasaki fic for a while but didn’t have any inspiration. Had a conversation with the Sasaki simp and they helped me come up with something to get me going. 🙈💗
Sasaki x NB!Reader / SFW / 2k
Summary: Dealing with the Beast Pirates that rolled up into your bar was always an annoyance. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) there was one that you had a soft spot for.
Warnings: Nonbinary reader with they/them pronouns. Who’s-Who mentioned.
Smoke filled the bar as you hurried around it, serving patrons and occasionally stopping to wave a hand in front of your face.
“Do you have to smoke in here?” you groused to Who’s-Who. The masked man stared in your direction before taking a deep drag and blowing it out towards you, making you scowl as you fanned it away.
“Aw come on toots—”
“Don’t call me that,” you interrupted immediately, hands on your hips.
“It’s a bar,” he finished. “Can’t be a nonsmoking bar, not when you serve pirates.”
Biting down your quip you heard a holler for more beer and stepped away to grab it. Thing was, you didn’t normally serve pirates. Sure, they blew in here and there but never for very long. Your patrons were generally from the town.
The only pirates who bothered were Kaido’s Beast Pirates on their journey back to Wano.
Queen: Alright, you idiots somehow managed to kidnap the ambassador. You have him tied up in the dank, dark, dilapidated dungeon of the old capital ruins.
King: We need to interrogate him for answers, it's clear that he's working for the necromancer, he might know where he is. I roll for intimidation, *rolls* sixteen.
Queen: *mutters,* of course that is where you go with it, pervert. *Speaks loudly,* Your intimidation is only slightly successful. The ambassador knows his life is in danger and needs to flee. However, he refuses to answer your questions. He proclaims, "I will never tell you anything, I shall be loyal to my master till my last breath!"
Kaido: *really in the character of his half-orc barbarian* that can be arranged, little man.
Queen: *rolls for him* The ambassador stutters, his voice quivering, "I just received messages from him and carried out his bidding, I don't know where he is really."
Yamato: Perception check, I'd like to see if he is lying.
Queen: you'll need a nineteen or higher, Are you sure you want to do that?
Yamato: *rolls* nat 20.
Queen: you can tell he's lying big time, you can practically smell the nervous flop sweat on this guy from across the room.
You: I can make him talk, I cast heat metal on his bones.
Queen: heat metal only works on metal, it's literally in the name of the spell. It doesn't work on bones, since they're made of calcium.
You: and calcium is a soft metal.
Queen: what's your source.
You: *came prepared to dispute this because you've been looking for an excuse to use this knowledge for evil. You pulled out an advanced chemistry textbook with the page bookmarked and the section highlighted, and handed it to him.* Read it and weep.
Queen: *puts on his reading glasses to read it* ... Dear god, okay, you cast heat metal, roll a d10 for me.
You: *rolls* 8
Queen: and with a plus three modifiers... you heat his bones until he's screaming. The ambassador lasts only thirty seconds before he reveals that the wizard necromancer, Typhus the Terrible, lives in the glittering palace deep in the inky caverns of Roptian, which is guarded by the onyx dragon.
Sasaki: yer kind of scary sometimes.
You: thank you.
At another session
Queen: okay, you enter the throne room, and the evil wizard is lounging on the glittering throne, Typhus the Terrible.
King: I roll for initiative *rolls dice*
Queen: critical fail, your fighter is dead.
Kaido: *rolls for attack* critical fail.. Hmm, I hate this game.
Queen: you are also dead, (y/n), you are the only one left with any spell slots or turns left. What are you gonna do?
You: ... I would like to cast summon water
King: there goes that campaign.
Queen: that spell lets you fill a space with water, are you sure that's what you want to do.
You: yes
Queen: the room fills with water
You: I didn't cast it in the room.
Queen: where then did you cast it?
You: inside the wizard's skull.
The whole room: *horrified*
Queen: you can't do that
You: the spell specifies that it fills a space, and a skull cavity is a space. And you let me fill the chest down the hall with water, why not this dude's head?
Queen: ugh, hang on a minute, I need to figure out the damage.... You killed the boss... You flooded his brain with so much water, that his skull exploded.
King: that's the most messed up thing I've ever heard.
Kaido: *mutters* we've done worse.
You: you should be very glad I don't have a devil fruit
King: I'm starting to see that now, thank you.
