im thinking about luffy and his flip flops rn
…
when you first joined the crew it irked you that luffy, your captain, the strongest in the crew, didn’t have any sturdy shoes that he could fight with properly without fucking up his feet.
every time you docked at a new island you tried to convince him of buying proper shoes
to no avail
“why would i buy new shoes? these are perfectly fine!” he would shrug smiling
they weren’t.
you thought this was going anywhere? no. luffy is incredibly stubborn once he’s made up his mind about something.
in the beginning you thought that maybe they had a sentimental meaning to him. so you asked him.
but apparently he found them at the shore of the island back home
you wouldn’t be so bothered if you hadn’t seen him slip through the damn slippers donzens of times already, hurting his feet.
not to mention that flip flops are summer shoes and his feet literally turn blue in cold environments like the winter side of punk hazard.
honestly you find it shocking that none of the other members have said anything about it yet
BUT
both your and his feet’s suffering came to an end when the two of you started being a thing
you quickly realized that luffy couldn’t really resist you
and he does about anything you ask of him
so you asked him to get proper shoes. all he did was pout. but he let you get him proper shoes to make you happy
and maybe bc you promised him sex..

hoh nancy wheeler
(tagging @netflixnormalthings for their awesome research and screenshots and @lumaxramblings bc we had Many discussions abt hoh nancy)
so a few weeks ago i made this post, about nancy not wearing earplugs and using the shotgun (and guns in general over the seasons) and how this affected her hearing. but then it really did get me thinking: why don't we see more content about hard of hearing nancy wheeler?
i see hoh steve all the time, which is fair! steve has gotten his fair share of head trauma and no doubt has problems from this. (and i do love hoh steve! don't get me wrong!) but i rarely see anything about hoh nancy, even though she has consistently dealt with firearms since season 1 without the proper ear protection.
just for reference: whispering is around 30 decibels, normal speaking voices around 60 db, and anything above 70 db for extended amounts of time will start to damage the ear, and anything over 120 db will cause immediate damage to the ears.
for reference: in season 4, nancy fires the shotgun four times while blasting vecna out of the window. in season 3, she fires hoppers shotgun a few times during the fight at the cabin, and this doesn't include firing at billy or the fireworks they all set off inside starcourt (which, should've given them all a little hearing damage, if we're honest).(fireworks decibels + info under the cut!) nor does it account for the times she shot at the demogorgon in season 1.
anyway, the point is: there is no way that nancy is not hard of hearing. firing a shotgun once without protection is enough to blow your hearing out, but four times? and it's not even the first time she's dealt with firearms. she's shown to be one of the most, if not the most, proficient with guns. noise induced hearing loss is a very real thing, it damages the hair cells within the ear--these cannot grow back. and shotguns breach the threshold where just one close and sudden exposure can cause instant and permanent hearing loss.
there isn't much else for me to say here, this was really just a comprehensive guide, or even "proof" that nancy should be hard of hearing, or at least a wider accepted headcanon than it is. give me nancy, who, after even season 1, starts to have a hard time hearing what other people are saying, and learns to read lips instead. give me stubborn nancy who won't admit that there's anything wrong, that she can hear just fine, thank you, and she doesn't need help. i know nancy typically has the best hearing out of the main cast, usually the one who hears the danger first, but i don't know...it just seems more plausible to me for nancy to be hard of hearing.

some progress shots of a comic ive been working on for my sequential art class (tired thumbs up) some of u (?eh) may recognize the blue seeker as the oc i posted a while back. this comic is like his...backstory...thing i guess
some color tests and the script for these pages is under the cut...the dialog is a bit different but im too lazy to sort it out at the moment.
1.
1) far out perspective on a warehouse of identical robots. they stretch on in a large horizontal panel, a box full of similar bodies. light leaks into the crowd, illuminating nightlight. he stares upward.
(some kind of narration..?)
2) thin, long panel showing hole in ceiling. the night sky shimmers. a moon glows yellow.
3) nightlight stares up from a crowd of automatons at the sky
4) zoom in on nightlights face. yellow eyes reflect the moon. long thin panel. bg is stars
(hardcoded to kill.) (born to die)
[high priority: eliminate target at cost of self.]
2.
[i never had to learn. i knew everything from the start]
--
[how to assemble my rifle.]
[a fatal crunch under its stock.]
[how to tear the plating from another living machine]
[the squealing snapping of broken bones.]
--
[i was good. good at following orders. i had gone so long without fulfilling my primary assignment that i had, ironically, become useful for my experience.]
3.
[ i was reassigned--a nearly abandoned fuel outpost that no one was really supposed to know about.]
[alongside two others who had outlived their mission, just like myself.]
--
(kid, cmon. everyone has a name.) [redlyne]
(take it easy. they just pulled this one off the lines. give him some time.) [dawnbreaker]
[i didnt have one. i never needed one until now.]
[i tried to think--]
(my name?)
[nightlight.]
--
[i couldnt comprehend it at first. i didnt understand.]
(ext. a run down outpost.)
[
4.
[no one was supposed to know about our outpost.]
--
[we had lulled ourselves into a sort of mundanity. finally, our unremarkable existence had begun to show its advantage.]
--
(chess game pieces are rattled by gunfire, redlyne goes to check door(?))
--
(he is shot down.)
[of course, even the small amount of fuel we were guarding was worth killing over.]
--
[i dont know who killed him who killed ether of them. our side? the other one?]
[deep in my circuts, in the hardcoding of my frame, all i knew was that they were gone.]
