to be young

roronoa zoro x reader

your boyfriend thinks he's got jokes

"let's burn it down" + zoro for anon

1.5k words

a/n: it's fluff with very minimal plot (like absolutely none). also slightly ooc zoro? he's very lovey dovey and i'm not sorry about it

zoro knows he was a pain in the ass as a child. dragging his feet to do chores, loud-mouthing all the older kids, challenging kuina day and night for just one more battle - he knows he was a brat.

and, now, at the ripe age of 21, he likes to think that he's grown out of his childish ways. he's mature, seasoned by the hardships of adulthood - a promising young man, if you will.

"ha!" zoro snickers, "i made you look."

"you're so lame," you groan. "i don't know how you tricked me into thinking you were some playboy."

you knock his hand out of your face, but (like the playboy he is) in one smooth motion, he locks his fingers with yours.

"no tricks," he flashes you a grin reminiscent of your first meeting in that hole-in-the-wall bar. "a man can be both, you know?"

"don't i know it," you mumble. yet, for all your grumbling, there's a bashful smile tugging at the corner of your lips that reminds zoro of the moments before he kissed you in that hole-in-the-wall bar.

"anyway," you ignore the look of triumph on zoro's face. "as i was saying, that's my elementary school over there."

against the crimson sky, zoro follows your finger and spies a schoolhouse in the horizon. your other hand is still holding his, swinging in rhythm to his pace.

"that dinky little thing? can you even call that a school?"

"okay, not all of us grew up in a dojo with zen gardens and..." you motion in the air. "-and... meditation grounds."

zoro has to laugh at what you've come up with. his laughter bounces against the cobblestone streets, landing in every spot marked by the setting sun.

"meditation grounds?" he repeats. you scowl. "we didn't have any of those."

"no objections to the zen gardens, i see," you huff.

"they were nice! and i know you liked them. i heard you tell ol' man shimotsuki they were pretty," he pokes your cheek and you swat him away.

"well, here in this li'l town, we don't have any zen gardens but we do have a playground behind the church."

at this point, the schoolhouse has come into view, framed by the aforementioned church. it's got stained-glass windows that glimmer (like your eyes when you laugh) and there are flowers lining the fence (rosy like your cheeks when you blush).

around the back, zoro can spot the essentials of a playground - slide, swings, seesaw, and a carousel that looks like it's seen better days.

"oh, that's... nice."

"thanks for your enthusiasm, baby."

"you know what? you're welcome," he grins.

his sarcasm earns him one of your signature eye rolls, the one that says you're so annoying. and he responds with a devilish smile that says i know, but you love me.

carrying on, you motion towards the playground at the back of the church. "see that carousel? it flung me off this one time and i broke my knee."

he tries to picture a tiny you — baby fat in your cheeks, in a mismatched outfit, holding onto your bloody knee on the concrete. knowing how much of a crybaby you are now, he knows that you were probably bawling when it happened.

he wonders vaguely if you were also cursed with an ugly childhood haircut and snickers at the thought of it. unfortunate hair or not, he's sure of one thing — you must've been the most darling little kid.

"that's terrible," zoro tries not to laugh. "what a shitty thing for a carousel to do."

"right? i was so traumatized, that was the last time i ever rode it."

"should we teach it a lesson?"

the last time you saw zoro teach anybody a lesson, it ended with a bloody nose and a black eye. so it's with much confusion that you turn towards him with a knitted brow.

"what are you on about?"

"the carousel."

"what about it?"

"let's burn it down."

"burn it down," you repeat with an exasperated sigh and a loving smile. "are you crazy?"

he throws an arm around your shoulder, pulling you close. instinct has you tucking into him and, enveloped in his warmth and the scent of steel and mint soap, you find shelter in the spot next to his heart.

"crazy for you maybe," he says with a kiss on your head. "you know what could be fun though? we could go full scorched earth and burn the whole playground down."

"as romantic as arson sounds, i don't want to be complicit in your crimes."

"you're dating a pirate. fraternizing with a criminal doesn't exactly make you innocent."

you turn to zoro, looking up at him with your best doe-eyed look and the cutest pout you can muster (he almost kisses you right then and there in the middle of the square).

"but i'm too cute to go to jail."

that much is true, and zoro knows it more than anyone. you're cute when you're shy, cute when you're happy, and cute even when you're mad. in fact, how adorable you are is the one thing that zoro and that stupid cook can agree upon.

but your darling little heart belongs to him and he'll do anything to keep it in his hands - even if it means jail.

"i'd bail you out though," he rests his chin on your head.

"with what money?"

"hmm, good point. can i borrow some money?"

"are you gonna pay me back?"

"of course, i would never go back on my word."

"how good is the word of a dirty pirate though?"

zoro fakes an offended look, "i shower every day."

"mm, even so," you tap a finger against your chin, as if you're in deep consideration of your options. "i'll loan you the money but you'll have to pay interest."

"who's the crook now?" he chuckles. "okay, so what's the damage?"

"10 kisses per day," you declare. "compounding."

"easy. i'll even pay in advance for ya."

and before you can protest, zoro starts peppering every inch of your loveable face with kisses. he kisses you on your forehead and your cheek and your nose and along your jawline, ignoring your squeals and giggles. you couldn't even escape if you wanted too; he has you tight in his embrace, effectively trapped.

"stop!" you laugh. "i don't want your cooties."

"liar," he growls between kisses. "you want me so bad."

his barrage is relentless, lips brushing skin, as he gently edges you towards the corner around the back of the church. you land against the wall with a soft thud, cushioned by zoro's arms that are holding you so dear.

then, you sigh against him — a shy, little moan in the shadows — and, in this spot away from prying eyes, a switch flips inside him.

surely, he's exceeded his hypothetical debt but how could he stop now? not when his lips finally find yours, and his teasing turns into hunger for your cherry sweet kisses. he cages you between his arms, hands against cold stone, bracing himself as he takes more of you and gives more of himself.

"hah- zoro..."

he responds by leaving a trail of sweet nothings as he travels down to your neck, little confessions of love left on your skin. your hands travel up his arms and the way your fingertips kiss his skin leaves him dizzy.

but then, you suddenly break away and look over his shoulder with a quiet gasp and wide eyes. like an experienced fighter, zoro reacts with protective instinct.

"what? what's wrong?" he whips around but all he sees is an empty playground. hand still on his swords, he turns back toward you — only now you have a mischievous sparkle in your eye and a devious smile.

"made ya look," you cackle.

zoro's shoulders relax, but the absence of a real threat doesn't let you off the hook. he rounds on you, chuckling darkly.

"oh, you are so gonna get it."

and then the tickles start.

you squeal and he laughs, and you are both so, so in love. hiding away from the rest of the world, you giggle and kiss like two teenagers making out for the first time. zoro smiles against you as he appreciates the delightful irony of it all.

zoro's a fearsome pirate with a schoolboy crush and a love that leaves him with butterflies that he'll never admit to — but you know it anyway.

just like how you know his tough side, his soft side, his immature and kiddy side that still snickers when nami trips. the fact that you adore him for all these different parts means more to him than you'll ever know.

and whether zoro's a pain in the ass or not, a kid or an old man, 21 or 81 years old, he hopes that the way he feels about you will forever be timeless.

XD Shes my daughter it seems now at first just a thought shared with kezzie but i'm attached so here she is. Summer is a TMNT 03/07 oc daughter to Casey (kezzies muse) and Raphael (my muse) Breif info on top what is gonna be her bio on my muse page which been update to add her. Below the cut is rambling head-cannons and me breaking down her design.

Summer 'Hamato' - Jones. A spark of Sunshine

Verses: tmnt 07

Ages: Toddler 3-4/ Kid 6-8/teen 12-14

Adopted by Casey and Raphael as a babe, she was raised by the two hot heads. Living a sort of double life since she has to keep the mutant half of her family a secret, but gets to experience a human life. Much like her dads she got a hot temper and quick to grow mad, shes spirited and full of energy. Loves and adores her dad's and is very aware she has them wrapped around her pinky only some times takes advantage of it. Shes pretty mischievous and trouble just finds her, she can be pretty compassionate having learned from her dad's. That said shes not scared to land a punch or take one.

Adopted daughter to Casey and Raphael, having been left at Casey's door one night by her mother.

said mother was planing to leave the man she was with but wouldn't be able to take care of the kid on her own and staying with him was not an option. Or Summer likely would have grown up similar to how Casey had. So without knowing it (unless casey somehow met her mom) Casey saved a kid from growing up how he had.

Casey and Raph were both quick to take to the idea of keeping her as their own having been infected with baby fever already when their Niece Ariel was born. It was as if fate brought her to them, she even shared blue eyes with Casey.

She got her name for the fact it was cold outside but the moment she was brought into Casey's apartment it brought warmth between Raph and Casey like the summer sun warms up all the cold from the night.

Legally her Name is Summer Jones (imma tag her as Summer Jones mostly to make her stand out) So on record it just seems like Casey is a single father.

Around the block and school it is known she has two dad's but only Casey is ever mostly seen. Outside the winter/hockey games when Raph can bundle up to make appearances here and there. Since he's able to keep hidden.

Summer pretty much always talking about her dad's and spend a lot of time around them. As doting a kid as her dad's are with her. Far as Summer cares to know her Dad's are the best and greatest people to exist. Sometimes she slips and says something weird about Raph that she has to cover up cause yeah cant be spilling he's a turtle. When younger it was over looked cause eh kids say weird stuff.

Casey is Dada when small but later starts to call him just Dad. Raphael was papa when small but later she starts to call him pops. It's how she make clear who she's talking about if both its just dad's. Father would only be said if she was mad at either of them.

She's a big fan of Hockey having been watching since she was just a tiny bundle of blankets. Even learns to play from Casey. Of course she is a New York Rangers fan as well. She lives and breaths it just as much as Casey dose.

Likes to hang around the garage Casey work at (least its shown he works at one in both 03 and 07 time to time) so she has learned some things there too. Not afraid to get dirty.

She played fight with Raphael a lot as a toddle mostly the fake kind where Raph pretended she beat him but he did start teaching her how to hit and such as kid. hey Splinter taught him and his brothers young too.

she may have gotten into some scraps at day care. Raph was happy she won uwu I bet Casey was too uwu

Summer also learned to play guitar from Casey and Raphael, it's her favorite because of listening them play for her to help her clam down when she got fussy. Sometimes she sit in thier laps well they played and she pass out.

I feel she'll pick up on the bass later herself becoming her hobby often learning to play with her dad's it kind of becomes her own passion as she grows up. even learning to write music herself.

Has been going out in the city at night since she was adopted cause well Raph is only able to freely move than for one and it's something special for her dads so of course they have to take her along too. Slightly implies she may have seen her dad fight as a baby as well.

Chances are sometimes this got risky and Summer got tangle in some mix ups her Dads had to save her from. Chances are she is a bit of at risk when older too considering the Purple Dragons and Casey and the Foot is still around as well.

"shouldn't you be concerned about the absolute delight your daughter takes in violence?"

Very much has a bad temper like Casey and Raph but unlike them she dose know how to communicate her thoughts it just all comes out in her anger and tears. Casey and Raph giving her a home where she feels she can be open about her emotions after all.

Splinter: that's grandpa and she listens and behaves for him. Also her first ninja teacher in a sense Summer just having fun learning to be like her pops. She loves how soft and warm he is to hug used to tug on his whiskers and make squeaky noises when wanting to see grandpa not that he squeaks like a rat she just knows hes a rat uwu. Has a liking for rats cause of him be careful she might try to make one a pet uwu

Despite that she's very conpastae and comforting because when ever she got upset her dad's were gentle with her. So often she calms her dad's down.

Family

Leo: Borrowing from fast forward I feel he becomes her proper teacher when in her teens. Luckily he grew up with Raph so handling her temper and raw fighting is easy to work with in training. She often spends time around Leo when at the lair because well he's her sensei so getting his advice on things helps. The only one of her uncles she dosent call uncle instead calling him sensei. Having more a teacher student relationship with Leo. Kind of the only one who can talk her down.

Don: If neither dad was around Don is who she runs to for comfort. As a baby she had a habit of pulling the turtles masks down so when she saw Don had green in his like her dad it help her clam down when getting fussy. I feel he has the joy of being like a torturer to Summer mostly science he just explains it better than her teachers. Also lokes playing and sharing video games with him. Chances are he often patches her up. (Purple bandaid uwu)

Mikey: He's sort of a teacher as well (borrowing from the last ronin seeing how he did say he teach Casey and Aprils kind in that story) but mostly Mikey is just like a big brother. Got her into comics and taught her how to skate board. Never fails at cheering her up. Much loke Airel he kidnapped Summer as well he just had both casey and raph to deal with when he did xD

Ariel : They are cousins but they are far more like sisters even seen as the twins of the next generation. Summer tells Ariel everything and anything. They don't have serects between them. Least Summer doesn't. She picked up on raph habit and often will sit back to back with Ariel when they talk. Shell do anything for her cousin even aid her with finding out who Bishop is against even her pop's warning.

School/ human like

Summer may be well loved and cared for at home and the lair but at school? Summer is seen as a freak. Shes obsessed with turtles and rats. She is loud and rambunctious not lady like, dosen't mind getting dirty and a puck head. Shes often bullied and mocked for her interests "turtle girl" being her more known name over her actual one. She's pretty much an outcast. She never tells her dad's about this till one day a boy forced her to eat turtle soup and well she punched him in the mouth and knock some teeth out.

I like to think after telling her dad's she been getting bullied she gets transferred to a different school a fresh start she still don't have a lot of friends but she dose join the schools hockey team as the first and only girl even becoming captain. Even makes a garage band with some of her teammates.

Daddys girl through and through I mean she only has dad's but still

She's still seen as a werido and such buuuut now shes known to kick anyone ass due to school rumors. And well they have seen her get into fights on the ice uwu

Dad's

Casey calls her the most silly nicknames and is a fully goofy loving dad he embarrasses her but she likes it so she'll allow it

Raphael the one who did her hair, mostly to lower the risk of her getting grabbed by it, he still dose her hair as a teen before she heads off to the school. She won't let anyone else touch it, for doing her updo's.

Okay that was alot XD sorry Desing break down

In terms of style Summer goes for vintage looks meaning Casey and to some extent Raph get robbed of clothing. Hey Raph barely needs it anyway uwu

- Jacket: Is actually something I saw in a tv show. Worn by the younger sister to a brother charater who is a big sports guy funny enough it is a New York Rangers jacket in the show too and belongs to the brother. When I noticed the patch (on the left shoulder) was that teams logo I decided Summer should have it and considering this show takes place roughly when Casey would been growing up it makes sense for it to been Casey's.

- Patches: are from each of her uncles

Leo: A yin and Yang symbol because its what he hangs on a Christmas tree and sees fitting with his need for balance and how serious he is with the laws of bisheudo

Don: A beaker of chems cause Donnie helps her mostly with science projects

Mike: Skate board Mikey's favorite thing todo and kind of shows they kind of things he teachers her far more for fun

Splinter: Family clan symbol okay so they never used this in the 03 show but Splinter dose use the last name Hamato so Im saying they do use the clan symbol.

- Arm band: Is one of Raphael's old masks, she has help patch her pops up before and his mask got ruined one of those times so she ended up keeping it and ties it to her jacket.

- Ranger shirt: As said she lives and breaths hockey like her Dad Casey, so of course she is always seen wearing team appeal

-banages: Between sports, fighting, trianing, and just being Summer shes often got bandages on herself she a tough girl what can I saw.

-Hair: She already shares blue eyes with Casey but she wished she had a trait for Raph so as she gets older she starts getting red Streaks in her hair to sort of go with his mask

-Accessories: Summer has a couple priceings in her ears he most worn are the hoops. Which are hot Pink her personal favorite color. She also wears to hair clips a hockey stick and a turtle. She always needs reminders of her dad's uwu

Textual significance of Morwen being accused of witchcraft

Aka the essay draft I’m posting earlier than I should be because I wanted to post this on my birthday

my tag for this topic is word ran among them where there are way too many posts. I’ve written at length about the implications in universe and real life connotations but here are some thoughts on why Tolkien chose to include this detail in The Silmarillion and The Children of Húrin

This is my first draft of this, written as bullet points. I’m going to make a more essay style version with more sources. Pretty much all of these I have posts about, and as I said, I’m very fixated on this topic so I’m definitely looking forward to elaborating a lot of this

I actually have studied the history of witchcraft accusations and their sociopolitical contexts for years and I’m so happy it’s going to such great cause :/

cw: discussion of misogyny both in universe and historical

It’s also worth mentioning that while these accusations didn’t exist in the very first drafts of The Children of Húrin, such as the book of lost tales version, they exist in pretty much every version that Morwen herself exists in as Morwen (that is, not in the book of lost tales versions or versions of The Lay where her name is different)

-It makes Morwen’s situation precarious when her survival is needed for the plot and the doom; she’s hated and feared and shunned but not directly attacked due to that fear. She’s alive but in danger, poverty and isolation.

It also puts the reader in fear for her. Good things do not happen to women who are accused of witchcraft

Witch hunts and witch trials are events that bring cruelty, paranoia and betrayal. The invoking of this adds to the bleak atmosphere of post Nírnaeth Hithlum. The phrasing, “word among them” or rumor ran among them, depending on the version , adds to this atmosphere of paranoia and whispers, and not knowing who to trust.

-It highlights the regressive beliefs of her accusers*. and emphasizes certain aspects of Morwen’s character. Morwen is very clearly not a witch. She is however a severe and intelligent woman who canonically challenges the men around her.

She’s also presumed to be a widow. Historically, especially when women were thought to be the property of their husbands, it has often been unmarried women and widows who were persecuted as witches*

The exact reasons given in the text are somewhat vague. “But so great was the beauty and majesty of the Lady of Dor-lómin that the incomers were afraid and whispered among themselves that she was perilous and a witch skilled in magic”, “proud and fair as a queen she was…Witchwife they called her and shunned her”. These descriptions alongside other descriptions of Morwen’s personality and countenance can easily track with commonalities among women who have historically been accused; she is fiercely independent, blunt in her words and proud.

“These were women given to speaking out, to a bold tongue and independent spirit. It is no surprise that such unwelcome, even feared speech, could be mistaken for wicked enchantment”Mona Chollet wrote in a recent nonfiction book on the history and legacy of witch hunts.

-Morwen specifically being related to the elves (“he had thought that he looked in the fell eyes of an elf”, “word ran among them that she was perilous and a witch who had dealings with the elves”, “Witchwife it is but elf friend in the new language”) also is used to show how deeply Melkor has managed to turn human and elven populations against each other

I cannot say if Tolkien intended this but this aspect mirrors a common theme in witch hunts historically. I talked about this before but many if not most accused women were accused of either obtaining their alleged powers through communion with non humans or otherwise engaged with them.

I have…way too many posts about this specific connection

-I also definitely want to do more about what exactly the lore is for witches in first age Beleriand, what it’s believed they are and what it’s believed they can do

-Morwen being feared by the occupiers mean that she is largely left alone by them. She’s still suffering, we know there were times that she and Niënor nearly starved, and its implied she faces harassment and intimidation but despite the doom on Húrin’s family, she is able to resist being driven from Hithlum for decades.

Morgoth canonically sews dissent, mistrust and prejudice. The prejudice of the occupiers here has the potential to interfere with Morgoth wanting to use Húrin’s family to hurt him. This fits neatly into Tolkien’s themes of evil hindering itself.

-It highlights her as a cultural outsider. It is specifically Morwen, a refugee and exile who is accused of having sinister powers and alliances with an enemy. I think this is especially interesting because, in the earlier version of The Children of Húrin, the occupiers were comprised largely of men from Hithlum

-It adds to the power of her character and makes parallels with other confrontations and struggles with villains that members of her family have. It’s easy to parallel for example the lines about Húrin not being daunted by Morgoth’s eyes or Niënor staring down Glaurung with the encounter between Morwen and Brodda. And while it is true that he might not be quite as powerful or dangerous as Morgoth or Glaurung, if he kills or hurts her, she’s going to be just as dead or traumatized as she would be if he were a god or dragon. Her courage is extraordinarily powerful and harrowing. Does this make sense?

Anyways happy birthday to me, thank you for reading all of this and for your patience with my rambling which I have done so much of on this topic and will continue to do more of

End note: I wanted to add another note about how the position Morwen is in can also be used to show Aerin’s bravery in helping her; Aerin takes great risks to help her people and the danger she faces for her aid to Morwen is even more extreme; she faces extreme physical abuse for it. But I have several posts about this already and I think it deserves its own post
