oh and one more thing i am SO GLAD we got to see the first meeting between edwin and charles, it is so sweet and understated and so so SO absolutely insane like
imagine you are curled up in a dark corner somewhere and you have been hurt plenty before so you know this time it's really, really bad. and you can't get help, don't have the energy left for it, and there never was any getting help for you anyway, was there? finding a quiet spot to hide until you can pick yourself up again has always been the only option, but you just - you don't even feel the pain, and isn't that the biggest sign that you're truly fucked? you just feel cold, and scared and you wish. you probably just wish you weren't alone.
and then you suddenly aren't, anymore. suddenly there is light, and a kind face, and a voice keeping you company, answering your silly questions, distracting you from the fear and the memories, soothing you, being there in a way no one has ever been, not in all your life
and then you realize oh it's because you were dying. dying, and haven't even noticed, he "did not want to scare you", and you do not have the words for how that makes you feel, that kindness, how it makes something crack open, how it wraps itself around the core of you like warmth you can no longer feel, and tells you you're alright, you'll be fine
so that's not so bad, then. you have someone with you now.
except you don't, you don't, because turns out you're supposed to go on by yourself, which means you will be left alone again, and no. you will not.
he tells you he's "not good with people" and you know that's a lie, and also, you don't care at all. you don't care what is waiting for you in the afterlife, as long as you get to draw out this moment. so you turn your back to the light, and walk away towards him, and you never regret that, not one bit
imagine crawling out of hell and the first person you meet immediately refuses to go to heaven so he can spend more time with you

Hey i have a little question about your Tiger Zoro Au but first I just have to say I absolutely love this idea your giving me so much serotonin right now!!!
My question is that pre time skip was Zoro a skinny and long tiger? Then in post time skip he looks like those tigers that has hella muscles? How would the crew react to muscular Tiger Zoro?  Also (if it’s not to much to ask) how would each of the crew members react to Zoro changing into a Tiger the first time around?
Sorry if this is to many questions i just absolutely love this AU and I kinda wanna see more and your art for this is amazing!!!
Sorry for the wait! Thanks so much, that’s so great to hear!! 😭🙏 I'm more than happy to oblige, and no worries, there’s never too much questions about tiger!Zoro, you guys give me so many more fun ideas than I could ever come up with myself. So keep it coming, actually!!
Now for the post timeskip look, I’ve actually got two ideas. The first is the mentioned monster muscled ripped-as-fuck tiger, which is hilarious on it’s own already:
(Not pictured: poor Franky having an aneurysm over the scratch marks on deck everywhere)
Maybe I'll make a seperate post on each of the Strawhats reaction to seeing Zoro change for the first time! For now though, Luffy of course thinks everything about it is awesome. He will not shut up about it and asks Zoro if he can do the most ridiculous things in tiger form, which Zoro sees as fun challenges.
(If anyone's got any other crazy ideas Luffy might ask of him let me know haha)
The other post timeskip look idea is that he just. Grows bigger. In actual size. He just becomes a Huge tiger. This makes no sense but who cares (it’s One Piece after all) and Chopper is able to grow a few sizes in seconds, so I think he should be allowed a few extra meters. If only because it’s cool as hell.
Size difference would be something like this:
The only thing is though, his tiger form grows in size everytime he grows in strength, so potentially there's nothing stopping him from growing 'till fucking Enormous

"Another win??" An innocent patron of the Cat's Tail groaned, slumping in her chair, "You should be banned from the Cat's Tail at this point."
You giggled, gathering up your cards, "You're the one who accepted to play against me again."
"Yeah but I thought maybe with my new deck I could beat you." Collei pouted, "I just wanna show Cyno how good I've gotten. I bet it'd make him real happy."
You stood up and ruffled her hair affectionately, "Why can't you show him? You could do real well in a duel against him I bet."
"But I can't even beat you!" She whined, "How could I ever hope to beat Cyno?"
You snickered, unsure if to break her illusion that Cyno was the best TCG player ever or not.
You decided to keep quiet and put your cards back in your holder.
She did the same, glaring at her cards angrily, muttering to herself just what she could do to get better.
You glided over to Prince, setting down the coins you had gotten from the match with Collei. He meowed, and Shuyun started his usual translation.
But his translation was wrong.
Which wasn't a surprise to anyone - certainly not you - no the real shock was Prince's meow weaving into actual words.
You don't have to struggle so much. He said to you.
You smiled at him and bought a rare card with your coins. You said nothing, Prince whimpered.
Shuyun translated a different sentiment once again.
You thanked them both and scurried off, waving a bye to Collei, who was still strategizing her next deck.
You fiddled with your casket of tomes, searching for a specific player nearby. Stepping closer and closer to the agreed meet up spot, you finally arrived with the card tucked into your coat.
"You're here." Was all that was said by a worryingly familiar voice.
You grinned, "That I am. How much are you willing to go for a Cyno card?"
"A Cyno card?" The man whistled, "So you're already level 8? And you started showing up and beating everyone in Mondstadt - what? - a few days ago?"
Your heart thumped in your chest, but you retained your cool smile.
"Yes, and?"
He snickered, "It doesn't make sense, perhaps you'd like to explain it to me?"
"I'm not here to give you my life story." You huffed, "Now, you want the card or not?"
He scoffed with a small - and slightly irritated - grin, "Yes." He tossed a light bag over to you, "I want the damn card."
You caught it with ease and grinned.
"Here you go then. Have a good day Kaeya."
He rolled his eye, turning around and waving, "You too, your grace."
You turned around and hummed, counting the mora in the bag.
'It's you! Your grace!' The cat did circles on the counter, meowing frantically.
Your heart jolted, your head whipped back, "Wait-!"
He was gone.
You blinked once. Twice. Your jaw agape.
"You've got to be kidding me."
*~
"Ha! Beat that Diluc!" The blue haired man chucked, setting out his deck to begin playing.
Diluc paused in shock, "Cyno? No way you're level 8."
Kaeya hummed, "And what if I am?"
Diluc snarled, "It doesn't make sense. Perhaps you'd like to explain it to me?" He crossed his arms, his teeth clenched.
Kaeya snickered, "Nope! Now make your move."
Diluc groaned.

(are there rules for asks + how old is mun? I don't want to send anything that violates your boundaries so)
again dont like posting ooc stuff here(for that go here) but i feel this ones a valid one to post
i think its mainly just common sense rules?
while this blog will likely have have Some heavy stuff(abuse and other such things that just come with the strider territory) at times and some nsfw jokes theres obviously a limit
dont be a dick, nothing 2 sexual, jokes n shit r fine obviously but no sexually harassing the 13 year old, nothing gross, no stridercest, nothing bigoted?? idk if im forgetting anything? just pretty standard shit
maybe an extra thing is i like to keep things as close to canon as i can, by which i just mean its very unlikely ill respond to anything outside canon, ocs, characters from other media n such
also so far ive been really lucky with asks compared to some stuff ive seen on other blogs (thank u all for being v chill n cool) but its prob good to also just state that theres no way ill be able to answer every single ask, ill only answer those i can think up an interesting response to and they take a while to do with my hand injury and i sadly also have a life outside of this B(
but basically, if i dont answer your ask, either cus i dont plan on it or havent gotten around to it, sending it again or anything similar wont change that
again, this hasnt really happened to me but ive seen others deal with it(n this is also a message to those doing it to said other blogs to please not do that)
oh and im an adult 👍
