Tumblr media
“Bet?” 
“There was a bet to win a date with you?” 
“When!? Who took part and didn’t tell me?!” 
“Where was I?!” Law rubbed his eyes tiredly over the commotion he’d unintentionally caused in the dining hall during breakfast. Why did he have to open his mouth? Slowly he looked to you, watching as you peered at him from over the rim of your teacup. Your eyes glinted in amusement but when you lowered the cup you fixed him with a convincingly confused and almost concerned expression. No wonder the others hated playing poker against you.
“Captain, I’m sorry but I have no idea what you’re talking about.” You told him, studying his face with a slight tilt of your head. “Is it possible you imagined it? I know sleep deprivation can cause hallucinations.” Law rolled his eyes, he knew he hadn’t hallucinated anything. The jolt of irrational panic he’d felt about someone going on a date with you was too real. At least this confirmed that you’d lied to get him to sleep, he still wasn’t completely sure why that had been your tactic in the first place. “Maybe you dreamt it?” You prodded with a growing smile, remaining in your seat as the others began to drift out of the room to begin their tasks for the day. 
“It wasn’t a dream.” Law muttered as he rose to clear his dirty dishes away before heading to the door. 
“Awww that’s a shame.” You hummed sadly. “I quite liked the idea of you dreaming about me, Captain.”
He snapped his head around to look at you while you rinsed out your cup. By the time you turned around your expression was innocent once again while his was one of agitation as he tried to fight the prickling heat rising up the back of his neck. Saying nothing more you walked by him with a smile. This one-sided teasing was insufferable.
Later in his study he found himself griping to Bepo who had listened patiently at first but finally he let out a small laugh, making Law pause and look at him in confusion. “What?”
“For someone so smart Captain, you can be pretty dense.” The navigator grinned. “Why do you think they were the one I got when you didn’t listen to me about going to sleep?”
Law opened his mouth to answer but then closed it again. At the time he never thought to really question it. He was extremely tired at the time and part of him rationalised that it was because the others had already tried. Bepo’s grin grew and he answered. “Because you pay attention to them more than the rest of us. Most of the time you don’t even realise it but when they move near you or speak to you, you either stop what your so hyper-focused on completely or at least take a break from it. They’re my secret weapon when you need to rest.” Only now Bepo realised, you were now his not-so secret weapon. However after this long of using you this way it was about time he got his Captain to open his eyes to how he felt about you. 
“They’ve never lied about a bet before…or about the others getting to date them to get me to go to sleep.” Law muttered, rubbing his stiff neck. Even if he were to believe Bepo’s claim about your power over him, that was still something that was throwing him off. 
“Maybe they were testing you?” Bepo mused. “It could have been their way of seeing if you would react to the thought of them being with someone?”
“Why would they do that? They’ve never exactly been shy about voicing their feelings about anything.”
“Maybe this time it’s different? Still it’s something to think about, yeah? That is if it’s something you wanted to think about.”
For the next two days, the navigator’s suggestion was all he thought about. With his words playing over and over in his head Law became more aware of how he was around you and how you in turn acted with him. When you helped him in the lab with preparing vaccines in preparation for the next islands for the crew you stayed close enough to be able to feel the warmth of each other’s presence but still separate so neither were suffocated or uncomfortable. When you were about to ask for a utensil or component he already had it in his hand in preparation to pass it over and when you did take it, your fingers always lightly grazed against his for the briefest of moments. It wasn’t unpleasant for him, now that he was aware of the fleeting moment with every exchange he could see you’d always done this with him.
With all of the possible vaccines completed, properly labelled and stored you and Law set about clearing the equipment away and cleaning the lab. Without warning the ship lurched and you were knocked sideways against the counter, hand shooting out to try and catch yourself at the same time Law caught your waist and braced as the ship corrected itself again. Suddenly all too aware of your Captain’s body against yours you looked up to meet his stare. “You’re bleeding.” Blinking you followed his gaze to see your hand pressed into the glass of broken test tubes that had thankfully been unused. The last thing you wanted was to get infected by anything possibly harmful. “Come on, sit over here.” You were thrown by the gentleness in Law’s voice and let him guide you to sit at the table, his arm still around your waist until you sat down. 
As he picked the glass from your hand and methodically cleaned the blood away you couldn’t help but smile. A few minor stitches were needed but overall it was nothing major. “Who knew the Surgeon of Death could be so tender.” You said with a smile that grew when he let out a small chuckle. However your smile dropped into a look of shock when he unexpectedly placed a kiss against your bandaged palm. You tried to calm your growing blush and stared at him in bewilderment. “Wh-what was that?!” You asked while Law rose casually. He stared down at you in confusion and you had to wave your injured hand at him for emphasis. “Kissing my hand?!”
Law blinked at you slowly and your eyes widened when the son of a bitch had the nerve to tilt his head at you curiously, mimicking how you teased him just days before. Only this time to make matters worse he leant down so his face was inches from yours. “Is it possible you imagined it?”

I love how you write, your interpretations of characters are my favorite. If you're okay with it, may I ask for romantic headcanons of Horropedia (Reverse 1999) x Reader? I would love to know what he is like when he's developing a crush, how he confronts his feelings when he realized them, what he's like when in a romantic relationship, etc. Thank you very much!
Tumblr media
;R1999 HORROPEDIA - Relationship Headcanons
Tumblr media
Compilation of headcanons about Horropedia in a romantic relationship.
Tumblr media
awe! i'm glad you like my stuff! and thank you for the lovely words and request, cause i've been itching to write for horropedia <3
i got a liiiiittle carried away with this one, hope that's alright!
Tumblr media
Horropedia as a character is fascinating because at a surface level he's a mess and a walking stereotype - a "nerdy nerd" with a very specific hyperfixation on the horror genre, the tall guy with glasses who explains the plot and does his own thing regardless of how others view him, the first one to die in a movie solely because he's perceived as cringe etc, etc.
And yet, his medium is "logic" - he, better than anyone, understands the nonsensical laws that make up the concept of horror, he sees the patterns and the reason why some things are done this way instead of that way. Through logic, pattern recognition and analysis, Horropedia can pretty much understand anything and work his way around any problem, no matter how unorthodox his solutions may be.
In a sense, I'd compare Horropedia to Pavia. Both are characters who are subject to the stereotypes and images others assign to them - but whereas Pavia both fights and plays into all of these roles, Horropedia just brushes it off and continues doing his own thing, being genuine and unapologetically himself.
When it comes to romance, it's easy to assume Horropedia has no interest in it - they're two different genres that don't go together most of the time. It's also easy to assume that he would be a troublesome partner, due to the laser focus attention he gives to his interests. And the latter is partially true: his lackluster love life is entirely because romance hasn't entered his radar, at least not enough to pull his attention away from his one true love.
But I think this is where the aspect of "logic" comes into play. All Horropedia needs is that spark, to find something to truly become invested in when it comes to romance - once he finds it, he'll dedicate the same amount of attention to detail and care as the horror movies he loves so much.
On the subject of Horropedia developing a crush.
Similar to Click, Horropedia would need some time to start noticing the signs of a crush - the difference is that Horropedia is a little quicker when it comes to realizing he's fallen for someone. His forte is horror movies, but he still knows a thing or two when it comes to other genres.
When he cannot rationalize his behaviour around you in a way that makes sense to his current fixation or situation, that's when he knows. And given how straightforward (to the point of bordering on obliviously rude) Horropedia can be, I'd say he'd also be the type to address this crush right away. Now that there's this brand new thing in his life, he'd like to understand it better - to dissect and study the way romance is potrayed, explore how it feels and just analyze it to hell and back. Basically, he wants to know the rules, to figure out how to best proceed.
Of course, he wouldn't dream of confronting you directly, only an amateur would do such a thing. Instead, he asks his friends and pretty much anyone within his general vicinity. He wants to understand romance from every angle, to hear about it from all sorts of people until he feels like he knows enough to start forming his own opinions.
His questions are all theoretical situations that begin rather innocent, innocuous. What does the hero of a romcom do to get the romantic interest? Does it follow a three act structure? And should the third act climax start with a confession or the breakup?
Overtime, they become a little more specific. To the point where his closest friends might suspect something is up, until Horropedia finds himself asking about your interests so that he can figure out the perfect gift for you. Just in case. He finds himself watching romcoms and making extensive research and charts and essays into the genres.
The funniest thing to me is that Horropedia would be extremely casual about this whole ordeal, this crush makes him extremely intrigued in the concept of romance (an oddity for someone so themed around horror), he finds himself staring at you from across the room (this is the third time he's walked into a door because of it) and so on and so forth. But he's so chill about it.
When confronted about his crush - should Blonney or anyone else decide to tease him a little by prodding - Horropedia has no problem blurting out that he has, indeed, fallen for someone. But he'll take your name to the grave, not out of shame or embarrassment but because "he doesn't want to spoil the plot, as obvious as it might be".
On the subject of Horropedia confronting his feelings and some more insight into his mentality.
I'd say there is this small possibility of Horropedia feeling disheartened if he begins to neglect his real passion for the sake of his feelings - it's that sort of guilt and shock one gets when they realize they've forgotten their wallet the moment they're meant to pay for dinner, or when they realize they've forgotten to turn off the oven.
Horror is a huge part of his life and who he is as a person - literally look at the name he's chosen for himself - and given how heavily coded he is to be neurodivergent, I can understand this aspect of him. The feeling like one must choose between two things they enjoy, and all the other things that might come with hyperfixation, both positive and negative.
This is the biggest obstacle for Horropedia when it comes to finally taking the first steps into forming a relationship with you or confessing - the irrational thought that by doing so, he's prioritizing you and romance over horror, something that he holds very dear. One of his stories gives some insight about Horropedia's relationship with horror and how it's something he shared with (and possibly was started by) his grandfather.
I feel like he'll grow a little distant, as a way to set some boundaries for himself or draw a line between his identity and his feelings for you, separate the two so that he doesn't have to feel guilty for giving one more attention than the other. Maybe he simply stops bringing up films around you, because "you're probably not that interested anyway". Masking, he's masking.
But overall, I can see Horropedia being capable enough to get out of this mindset by himself - or with a little help from someone else. Either way, he simply loops back to realizing the obvious: you two were friends, before he realized his feelings for you. You were fine with the whole Horropedia Experience. You liked him for who he was. And he liked you just as you were.
Horropedia is the one who confesses first, the one who asks you out. 100%. And it's so unnecessarily dramatic.
I DO think that Horropedia would make sure to be the one who confesses, just so he can put everything that he's learned about romance into play. And he delivers the most award worthy performance. It would be all about redirection, an unexpected reveal - his skills and animations are also all about fake outs and misleading the audience, after all.
In my head, there's this whole scene about Horropedia asking everyone to help him out confess to you, and everyone is so excited for it - but then he just asks them to fuel this slow rift that formed between you and him, to act vague, distant and mysterious should you ask Blonney or Tooth Fairy about him. Again, unorthodox and weird, but he's cooking. This is all done with the intention of forcing a confrontation between the two of you, just so he can pour his heart out right there - it's all or nothing.
Again, I want to insist that Horropedia, despite being a logical man, still makes as many aspects of his life revolve around the things that he loves and is interested in - he likes films, he likes you. And while romance is not his preferred genre, he still wants to explore all there is about it all thanks to you.
That alone should tell you how much you mean to him. Even if his methods aren't the "proper" way, you know he's putting his whole heart into this. It's all over the top, there's fake rain, etc etc. Of course, your reaction to this is up to you!
If you're mad at him for such convoluted plan, he'll sit there and allow you to scold him to your heart's content - he's used to it as one of the many troublemakers that the Foundation failed to raise as model students. If you laugh at him because of how ridiculous this guy can be sometimes, he'll laugh along, trying to get you to tell him what he could've been done better to get a third act reconciliation. And if you start crying, jump into his arms and play along then he'll be over the moon, trying every single impactful one-liner from every romcom he's watched in the past few weeks.
On the subject of Horropedia and how he acts when he's in a relationship.
Dating Horropedia is pretty easy, because you're dating your best friend. However, it is very easy to misunderstand Horropedia's way of showing affection - those who are more on the insecure side or less receptive to his subtleties may feel like there's been absolutely no shift in the dynamic, that he's treating you the same way he'd treat Tooth Fairy or Vertin.
This is far from the truth! Once Horropedia finally settles into the relationship, he grows very comfortable and allows himself to just exist around you - which isn't saying much since he doesn't mask as much around friends, but it's all about the subtle things!
I like to think Horropedia is very particular about space, as in he makes a point not to invade people's spaces if possible and he'd rather remain in his little bubble. But when it comes to you, he's very casual with physical touch. He's not as cuddly and touchy as characters like, let's say, Matilda, Jessica or Pavia, but being able to rest his head on your shoulder means a lot to him, or just have you lean on him when sitting together. This is pushed to the limit when you two pull all-nighters, binging all of your favorite movies.
He's on cloud nine when you pay attention to his ramblings and makes sure to listen when you ramble to him as well. More than often, he'll do his own little research into the topics you like, just so you have someone to properly discuss things with! Horropedia more than anyone knows what it's like to be brushed aside for being too much or too weird, to have no one listen. Despite his confidence, he has had days of feeling like he keeps on talking to a wall, so he doesn't want you to ever feel like that.
It's all about sharing interests and recommending things that you may like, keeping up with the latest events and so on and so forth, having looong discussions at night about whatever topic you two are extremely invested in.
If these discussions get a little heated and end up as arguments, expect Horropedia to insist on arguing because he's just stubborn like that - it'll take him time to realize that he might've hurt your feelings, or that he might've be hurting too, but he'll come around eventually to talk it out.
Overall, dating Horropedia would be fun because he's full of surprises and excitement, but he's also considerate in his own way.

Hey! Anon from the last time here! By "Pro-Palestine Westeners" I was partially referring to all these students from Columbia and MIT who were illegally occupying the school grounds and harassing/hurting the actual Israeli/Jewish/Middle Eastern/the other generally decent students.
I know there's Pro-Palestine people who are actually decent, but all these college students are risking suspension/expulsion/jailtime because they'd rather chant pro-Ha*as slogans rather and listening to news from biased fonts rather than educating themselves on what's really happening. Some people would rather stay in their ivory towers, rather than going outside and touching grass.
I also know there's LGBT+ people in Palestine and other parts of MENA, and all I wish for them is that they live long enough to find a place where to live freely and out of the closet, without suffering persecution from their government.
Hope this clarified at least a little bit my other ask, and sorry it sounded so ambiguous. Finally, let's hope that Eden Golan gets at least in the top 5 at Eurovision 2024, just to spite anyone who booed her.
Hi Nonnie!
Thank you for sending this ask to clarify the previous one, it's what I thought you meant, and I'm glad to hear I wasn't too off.
TBH, as a gay woman myself, with gay Palestinian friends who are a part of my queer community, and whose struggles I know well, that's the first group I thought about as well. Then I thought about the fact that under Hamas law, husbands can rape their wives with impunity. I thought about the way the Christian population (the biggest non-Muslim minority under Palestinian rule) has demographically plummeted in the areas that Israel passed on to Palestinian control as a part of the Oslo accords. I thought about black people, whose ancestors were kidnapped because of the Trans-Saharan (i.e Arab) trade slave, and are still treated as lesser humans because of that (based on their skin color, they are still referred to in Arabic to this day as "Abeed," meaning slaves).
I think this last group, which most people don't even realize exists, deserves a bit more info shared about it:
Tumblr media
Pretty sure black activists in the states, who don't know the history (and present) of the Arab slave trade, or the persisting anti-black racism that exists in Palestinian society, have no clue they're being exploited against the same Jewish community, which stood with Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement, even having some of its members paying with their very lives for this. I hope they wake up and realized they're being used for antisemitic purposes by the same people who enslaved and are still discriminating against some of their people.
But it's funny how the world's activists and human rights defenders seem to ignore the plight of these marginalized Palestinians, isn't it? Almost like, because they're NOT being oppressed by Jews, rather by fellow Palestinians, and can't be used to justify antisemitic rhetoric and action, then they don't count. So much for minority solidarity and intersectionality, right? It doesn't extend to Jews, and it doesn't extend to Palestinians who can't be weaponized against Jews.
Regarding the last bit of your ask, bless you for being hit with Apollo's dodge ball and predicting Eden making it into the top 5, despite every effort made by the jury members of so many countries, the awful people in the audience, and members of fellow delegations. It was magnificent!
Sending you hugs! xoxox

Cherry Magic TH Ep 5 Stray Thoughts
Last week, Achi and Karan worked together during Songkran to figure out a marketing pitch. Achi got confused about Karan's relationship with a woman, only to learn that she's his sister, and also that sister has pushed them to live together for a while. Jinta continues to spiral about Min, and is now following his aspiring career as a dancer. We also learned that Rock admires Pai, and Pai has been shopping Achi and Karan for a long time.
Goddamn, Achi has been sick for at least two episodes now.
Look at this pathetic simp of a man potentially hurting his back to sleep next to Achi.
Damn, it always gets me how people just loudcap each other in Thailand.
I love Karan singing a love song to himself.
Something this version has captured well because of the long duration is that you can actually be comfortable around someone who has a crush on you when they're not forcing themselves on you. Karan may have complex fantasies, but he's not overstepping.
Jinta and Min continue to be excellent ports of Tsuge and Minato.
Achi, please don't regress every time Karan has a new thought.
I love that the manager is also a work mom to everyone.
I hope we get to see Karan throw murderous eyes at Rock.
Oh my god. Jinta wore sunglasses over his glasses.
Jinta is gonna strain something. I am praying for his joints.
Sing Harit was such a great choice for Rock because he's been flirting with boys in screen for ten years.
Newwie has a very good 'fond' expression.
I feel for Karan. It's hard being closeted at work and having a crush. Achi is also confusing him.
Poor Karan. Achi shared the food stall with Rock, too. Achi was not considering Karan's feelings there.
I wonder if there's a Thai media law requiring that characters wear helmets.
Jinta and Achi are so ridiculous. I love their dynamic.
I'm enjoying this new drama between Rock and Min. I felt like there should have been more explored history between Rokaku and Minato. This is really good angst between people who were close during a developmental period who then choose different things. Rock did hurt his friends, and he knows that.
Pai, I love you. She sees two cute men avoiding each other and her fujoshi brain demands they fix it.
I'm glad they mended this. Rock violated a Warrior's Bond and we needed to fix it.
Very much enjoying Min and Jinta.
Now, Achi, you are just making this man feel uncomfortable.
Oh, ho! Thank you for saying it, Karan. So looking forward to facing the reality of it being in the open
I continue to really enjoy the Thai touches to this story, and love what they captured exactly and what they chose to play with. I like how clear the mixed signals from Achi are affecting Karan, and I also really like deepening the history between Min and Rock. This is a solid show.

Hi, I hope your day is going as well it can be with all the news
Would it be possible to get an explanation on why the union did not initiate contact besides on Twitter? I'm not French, but is not contacting the other party common practice there? Does like the whole 'We asked him to work with us on Twitter' hold up in court? In addition if you don't mind summarizing how the laws work?
Sorry if this comes across as harsh, it's really more confusion and curiosity. Plus whenever I'm nervous, I sound like a robot. But if this gets answered great, if not thank you for all your posts on the situation going on.
Au revoir and best of wishes again (if you've already answered this already sorry and I think that's how you spell it I haven't taken French in years)
Hey finally getting to answering this !
Ok so first : Do I think the union could have sent an email ? Yes and that would have been a great thing. Now my beef is with people complaining that they didn’t as if it’s their fault that communication is this case is so bad.
So first, it’s common (at least in France) for unions to release public statements when they’ve stumbled upon a case of a company mistreating their workers in any way. This is usually to 1) Collect more testimonies if there are any 2) Let the public know that said company is hurting their workers so that people can be aware that this is what they support if they still give money to said company
The union here wasn’t obligated to help, they chose to step up after Lea’s statement since the admins testimonies revealed multiple workers rights violations in Qstudios. Their goal was for the admin’s rights to be recognised so they could work in lawful conditions. The best way to that is to try to reach an amicable solution (no one involved probably wants to go to court as it it long tiring and expensive).
So yeah you should see that in a « You did something bad, we are willing to offer our help, if you’re interested by said help please contact us » thing. I would also like to reiterate that it shouldn’t be up to the victims side to be the one trying to right the wrongs of the company.
How would Qstudios not answering a Twitter statement hold up in court ? It wouldn’t because it’s not even the point : Legally the problem is the lack of communication with the workers, not with the union. A company don’t have to work with an union and the union didn’t have to offer them their help.
I feel like I didn’t express my thoughts in the best way rip, hope it still makes sense somewhat ! I would be glad to explain how the law works here just ask me precisely about what bc french law is a big big can of worms 😭
(Also labour law isnt my specialty however I do know the basics)
Tumblr media
and yes ahah that’s how you type au revoir

I'm so glad I found your account! You guys are very talented <33
I know canonically Mortdecai isn't, uh, amazing with kids but what if a Marigold members daughter started hanging around the building (like Ivy did when she was younger) and she reminded Mortdecai of one of his sisters (Esthers moodiness or Roses cheeriness)? I'd love some headcanons about the scenario^^
I wasn't going to write this until later but I absolutely had to jump ahead of schedule and write this because it nagged at my mind almost all week. You even started an AU for the other mods and I, anon. This little idea is so tasty and adfghfgferhrj
You are the biggest brain and I hope you don't mind that me and Iphiko (and maybe even Rory!) had a little taste of this drink ourselves first. Different bottle, don't worry, we haven't touched any of what's in your hand right now
Also thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you guys are enjoying these things (as if the inbox flooding wasn't proof enough), it makes us Lackadaisy Moonshiners so happy and gives me an excuse to keep writing. You're all awesome!
At first, it almost stings. He still remembers Ivy, after all; her wandering around following Viktor or whoever caught her eye whenever she could. It was cute. Adorable, even.
But Mordecai seems to be the target of this little beast's attention. And no amount of waving her off, gently pushing her away with his foot or annoyed threats will get her to pick someone else.
The Savoys are enamored with the little bugger. Serafine started calling her "Bébé Couteau" (Baby Knife) after being allowed to teach her some knife tricks (why Asa let them put a knife in the hands of a kitten, Mordecai will never know) and Nico picked up the habit of startling the little girl by picking her up and spinning with her...Which slowly evolved into throwing her across the bloody bar into Serafine's arms after an accident that resulted in the kitten getting yeeted by a distracted Nico (apparently she loved it (and to Serafine's credit, she ran like Hell to catch her); so it's not exactly safe but it's okay??)
Several speakeasy attendees mistake her to be Mordecai's kitten since she's always hanging around him (and especially so if she's a Tuxedo cat). It probably doesn't help that he loudly objects to the twins throwing the kitten back and forth like a football and has even ripped her out of their arms once or twice
They also (correctly) assume that he calls the shots when it comes to her. If she's making trouble or is heading somewhere that she shouldn't be, someone has to work up the courage to tell that ferocious shadow of Asa's. It's him, the queen cat that looks like she's constantly considering stabbing you or the heartthrob at the bar vicious son of a bitch who always looks like he knows that he's better than you
It's an unspoken rule between the three that Mordecai's word is law when it comes to the kitten. He hates this and is sure that they just use this as another excuse to tease him.
Asa scares the Hell out of the poor little thing. He tried greeting her once and she burst into tears and ran to Mordecai so he could protect her. The twins thought this was hysterical: the kitten adores the ground Mordecai walks on, laughs at Serafine's threats and thinks Nico throwing her at a soft target as hard as he can is the bee's knees; but Asa Sweet-the big fat cat with the softest features out of all of them-scares the living daylights out of her.
Mordecai thinks the kitten has a good judge of character sometimes. If it wasn't for her love of the chaotic duo he'd say that out loud
They brought the kitten along to a "meeting" once when she were sick with a fever. She cried when Mordecai left the car and Serafine refused to leave until she was comforted or at least sleeping, so (after some arguing and sweet-talking) Mordecai went back for her. When he didn't leave the vehicle for a few minutes, the Savoys went on without him.
They came back to find him reading a book, the kitten snuggled up against his side and sound asleep tucked under his coat and arm. The soft look in Morde's eye told Nico that maybe this wasn't the time to be teasing him.
This didn't stop Serafine. Mordecai hasn't heard the end of that event. (Asa also gave him some Hell for leaving the twins to do the dirty work, but Serafine and Nico shut him down pretty quickly-they found whatever crate he wanted, no witnesses are around to tell the tale, the job was done just fine and the kitten needed him more than they did. Shut up, Mr. Sweet.)
Whoever's daughter the kitten is, they'd better learn to deal with Mordecai becoming her guardian angel of death. If she doesn't have a parent and just wandered in somehow, she's gonna end up with something better: an aunt that'll teach her to kill and how to stay strong, an uncle that'll toss her around like a hot potato and teach her to be fearless and another uncle that'll pretend to not care for her until someone looks at her the wrong way.
Mordecai, Serafine and Nico. Probably the worst-fitting cats to be any kind of parental figures, yet ones that will guard a mutually-adopted kitten until their final breaths-whether they'll admit to it or not.

hi i don't know if you are getting requests but if you are i want to make one , the request is Hawin strong X reader. when strong's father takes him back home (you can invent a reason) the reader goes along because they are married, except the castle catches fire like the original scene except the reader is saved from the flames except she goes back inside to save harwin, she takes an iron and manages to open the door (or something like that) and saves harwin, then harwin takes it and runs out of the Castle and everything is fine . The story you can invent as long as you have this scene. ❤️ And I'm asking you for this story because I loved the other fic you made! Perfect!! 😭😍
Tumblr media
Through the Flames
warnings: talks of death, fire, no use of y/n, f!targaryen!reader, not proofread
summary: you and harwin are sent to harrenhal to escape rising tensions.
author’s note: this is definitely not my best work, but it helped me get out of some writers block. thank you so much for the request❤️
Although you had been married to Harwin for over a year, you had never seen Harrenhal. You had always wished to visit, yet Harwin had been too consumed with his duties as Lord Commander.
But now, you were getting the chance. Under less than desirable circumstances– but at least you were going.
Tensions within the Keep were rising as your father, the King, continued to decline in health. Your sister, Rhaenyra, was trying to smooth things over with the Queen, but to no avail.
Worried for your safety, your father by law had conspired with the King to send you away. Your father had agreed– he, too was concerned. As the heir, Rhaenyra could not be sent away. But you? You were on the first carriage out.
You couldn’t complain much– sure, you would miss the Keep, your father, and Rhaenyra– but you were finally getting to see Harwin’s home. And you were getting him to all yourself.
His duties kept him busy, and you had never hated him for that. However, you couldn’t help but feel ecstatic at finally getting to spend more time with him.
Harwin chuckled, stirring you from your daydreaming. He sat across from you inside a small but comfortable carriage. He was smiling lovingly at you, and you smiled back.
“What’s funny?” You asked, clasping your hands together in your lap.
“You’ve had the same dreamy look on your face since we left the Keep,” he teased. “Perhaps you love the idea of Harrenhal more than you love me.”
You rolled your eyes as he stood from his seat, making his way to you. You scooted to the side to make room as he sat beside you.
“I’m just excited– I’ve never seen your home before,” you told him, turning your head to look up at him.
“I believe you’ll prefer the Keep,” he replied, reaching a hand up to brush a fallen strand of hair from your face.
“At the moment, I prefer anywhere but there. It’s too tense,” you shook your head and Harwin nodded.
He had been secretly glad his father had asked him to take you and leave. Harwin was constantly worried for your safety, especially since Alicent was becoming more and more hostile. Your protectiveness over your sister only made you more of a target.
You were still in danger no matter where you went, but perhaps you’d be the tiniest bit safer in his home, under his watchful eye.
“Well, I assure you things will be better at Harrenhal. Being away from court does wonders, you know,” he joked.
“I wouldn’t. I’ve never really been away,” you replied, but of course he knew that.
Being a Targaryen was a job in of itself. Ever since you were a child, you had been expected to uphold a certain image. Perhaps this trip would provide a space for you to truly let your walls down.
You rested your head on his shoulder, one of your hands reaching for his. He intertwined your fingers together as he glanced out of the carriage window.
“We’ll be there soon,” he commented, and you hummed.
As soon as you had arrived at Harrenhal, you had barely had a chance to sit.
The pair of you were welcomed with wide open arms, and Harwin made sure to introduce you with reverence to each person you passed. He took you around the castle, showing you everything he could. You loved seeing him light up as he led you around and told you stories.
As the sun began to set, Harwin took you to the main hall for dinner. A few other lords and ladies joined you, and you found yourself having more fun than you had in a very long time as you chatted and laughed. Harwin was right– being away from court did wonders.
You didn’t have to worry about Alicent’s constant disapproval, or living in Rhaenyra’s shadow. Didn’t have to worry about your father’s disappointment or Criston Cole’s snide remarks.
After a few hours of merriment, the sun was long gone. The moon shone through the windows in the hall, and despite yourself, you yawned.
“Tired?” Harwin’s voice was in your ear as he leaned over to speak to you. You nodded, turning your head slightly to catch a glimpse of him.
“Would it be rude to excuse ourselves?” You whispered back to him.
He sat back then and cleared his throat, drawing the attention of the remaining guests.
“Sorry to interrupt the fun, but my lady wife and I are tired from our travels, and we wish to retire. Please, don’t stop the fun on our account.” Harwin announced, beginning to stand from his chair. He reached a hand out to you, and you took it with a grateful smile.
The guests nodded and rose as well, declaring it was getting late. You bid them a hasty goodnight over your shoulder as Harwin led you out of the hall.
Once the door had closed behind you, you lightly smacked him on the arm.
“What was that for?” He asked, looking down at you with an amused expression.
“I thought we’d quietly excuse ourselves, not announce it like that!”
“You wanted to leave,” he shrugged. “That was the quickest way out.”
You rolled your eyes, but you were smiling. “They’re all going to think we’re up to no good.”
“Oh?” He raised his eyebrows, grin widening as he looked down at you. His hand was on the small of your back as he led you towards your quarters. “And are we?”
“So predictable,” you huffed, but no real annoyance was in your tone.
“You say that,” he said as you rounded a corner. “But you’re the instigator most nights.”
“That is untrue, husband,” you retorted. “We both know of your insatiability.”
“Is that a crime?” He replied, slowing to a stop in front of your door.
You gave him a cheeky smile, and he chuckled. “No, I guess it isn’t.”
“Good,” he said, pushing the door open. You stepped inside and he followed, closing the door behind you.
“I know our talk has been suggestive,” you started as he crossed the room to you. He stood behind you and wrapped his arms around your middle, holding you gently as he leaned down to place a kiss to the skin of your neck. “But I truly do wish to retire.”
He hummed as he pressed another kiss to your skin, before pulling away and dropping his arms. “As you wish, my love.”
“I’ll make it up to you tomorrow,” you told him, watching as he moved towards the bed. He gave a small chuckle, eyes catching yours as he began to undress.
“I’m holding you to that,” he spoke.
“Oh, I’m sure you are,” you giggled, beginning to work at the laces of your dress.
The two of you fell into comfortable silence as you dressed for bed. Harwin finished first, sliding onto the comfortable mattress and watching as you brushed out your hair.
“You’re staring,” you told him without even looking. You could feel his eyes on the back of your head.
“I’m admiring,” he said.
“Do you ever tire of being so charming?” You asked as you set down your hairbrush.
“Constantly. It is a curse,” he grinned, and you laughed as you moved to join him in bed. You crawled under the blankets, shuffling to get comfortable as Harwin pulled you into his chest.
“Goodnight, my love.” He spoke softly, his lips pressing a chaste kiss to your cheek.
“Goodnight,” you replied, your eyes already drifting shut.
When you woke, it was still the middle of the night. Harwin was still sleeping soundly behind you, one of his arms thrown over your waist. You carefully slipped from his grasp, taking care to be quiet as you tiptoed towards the chamber door.
You pulled it open as quietly as possible, slipping into the dimly lit hallway. The moon was still bright in the windows, and you admired it briefly as you eased the door shut behind you.
You began to walk down the hall, making your way in a direction that would hopefully lead you to the kitchen. Harwin typically kept a pitcher of water in your rooms at the Keep, but with the business of the day, it had slipped his mind to have one taken to your quarters.
You didn’t mind. It was nice to see the castle while it slept, the silence washing over you. The Keep was never this quiet, not even in the dead of night.
After a few more minutes of wandering, you found the kitchen. It, too, was quiet, which you weren’t used to. The Keep’s kitchen was always busy with pots clanging and servants chatting. The silence was almost uncomfortable now. It was uneasy.
You swiftly grabbed a cup and filled it with water, trying to get back as quickly as possible. The once comforting silence was becoming crushing. It shouldn’t be this quiet.
After a few quick gulps, you set the cup down and turned to leave. You found yourself hastening your steps as you tried to remember the way back to your room.
And that was when you smelled it.
The unmistakable scent of smoke was filling your nostrils. Your eyes widened, pace quickening until you were practically running. Dread clawed at your stomach as your mind instantly assumed the worst.
It was too warm for a fire, and one should not be lit this late. The halls grew hazy as you neared your hall, and then you heard the screams.
“Harwin!” You screeched, sprinting towards your door. “Harwin!”
“I can’t get out!” He yelled, fists pounding at the chamber door. You stood on the other side, desperately trying the handle. It wouldn’t budge. Panic and the smoke billowing from under the door made it hard to breath. You blinked away tears, unsure if they were from the fire or your fear.
“Hold on!” You yelled, shoving your body against the door in an attempt to push it open. It didn’t budge. You were frantic now– nails scratching at the door as you sobbed.
“Leave!” Harwin shouted. You could still hear him throwing himself against the door, trying to escape. “Get out of here!”
“No! I’m going– I’ll get help!” You said, turning to look around the hallway. No one was coming.
“Hold on– please, hold on! Please!” You yelled to him before you took off down the hall, eyes searching for someone or something to help. You could still hear Harwin’s screams as you turned the corner.
You barged into the first door you saw on the next hallway, uncaring of who or what was inside. You stumbled into an empty bedroom– probably kept for guests. You looked around quickly, looking for something useful. Your eyes landed on a fire poker by the dormant fireplace. You would have laughed at the irony had you not been terrified.
You grabbed the metal and ran back down the hall. The smoke was making it hard to see clearly as you stumbled back to your door. Harwin’s yells brought you back. He was still pleading for you to leave.
“Stand back!” You told him, raising the poker and shoving it with all your might into the space between the door and the lock.
“Please, run!” He called back to you.
You shook you head even though he couldn’t see you. You would never leave him– if you were to die, you would die together.
You continued your assault on the door, praying to whatever god was listening that it would open. Your arms felt like jelly, but you couldn’t stop. You wouldn’t.
The wood of the door was cracking and splintering at the force of your swings. You were breathing heavily, black smoke filling your lungs. None of that mattered.
With a final swing, the lock clattered to the floor. You tossed the poker carelessly to the side, shoving the door open. Harwin was leaning against the nearby wall, his nightshirt pulled over his nose, coughing heavily. His eyes widened at the sight of you.
The fire was growing quickly and dangerously. The mere heat of the room made you wonder how Harwin was still standing. You ran to him, your smaller frame pressing to his side and helping him walk towards the exit.
Debris was falling now, kicking up sparks and dust. The fire licked at your heels as the pair of you stumbled from the room. Now you could hear yelling from somewhere nearby. Footsteps were pounding on the stones. But all of that was reduced to a quiet buzzing as you shuffled down the hall, not stopping until you made it down the next corridor.
You collapsed against the wall, bringing Harwin down with you. The pair of you slid to the floor. Harwin was still coughing, and you were too. The fire may not have killed you, but you were sure the smoke would.
“You..” Harwin was speaking between coughs, one hand blindly reaching for you. “Didn’t…listen to me.”
You grabbed his soot-covered hand with one of your own, holding it tightly.
“My Lord! Princess!” A woman’s voice called to you, pulling you back to reality. Men were racing past as they scrambled to put the fire out. A few maids had gathered around you and Harwin, reaching towards you and trying to help you up from the floor.
“Get the maester!” Someone was yelling. You couldn’t think straight. You were disoriented, and the adrenaline slowly leaving your veins was making it hard to focus.
You blinked your eyes closed, and the world went black.
You woke up hours later. The sun was shining through a nearby window. You slowly sat up, looking around. Panic began to creep up your spine at the absence of your husband.
“Harwin?” You spoke to the room, your voice causing you to wince. It was raw and scratchy, no doubt from the smoke and all the coughing.
“Harwin?” You called again, slowly making your way out of bed. You made your way towards the door, but before you could even grasp the handle, it opened.
“You are an idiot.”
Harwin was looking down at you with a soft expression, his hand still on the door handle. He looked exhausted– curls damp around his face and dark circles under his eyes. Bandages had been tied around his hands and arms– but he seemed unharmed otherwise.
You scoffed at his words, stepping aside so he could come in. He shut the door as he moved into the room, heading straight for you.
“I saved you,” you told him.
“You didn’t listen to me.” He replied.
“Shall I let you burn next time?” You asked, anger creeping into your tone. You shouldn’t be angry at him, it wasn’t his fault. He wanted you to be safe. But did he really think you would leave him behind?
“You should’ve,” he said. “You could’ve been hurt.”
“It would’ve hurt more to leave you there to die,” you said, your voice cracking at the thought. He had almost died. He should’ve died. You should’ve died. If you had been in the room, you both would be dead.
He didn’t say anything else. Instead, his hands came up to grab your cheeks. The bandages felt rough on your skin.
He pulled you towards him gently, ducking his head down to rest his forehead against yours. His thumbs stroked your cheekbones soothingly.
“Thank you for saving me,” he said, his voice a whisper.
You gave a small nod. You reached your hands up to wrap around his neck, pulling his body closer.
“You need rest,” you said after a moment. You were amazed he was still upright.
“I will not rest. Not until we find who did this.” He told you, stepping back. Your hands fell to your sides.
“Harwin–” you began, but he stopped you.
“They tried to kill you, whoever it was. That is not something I take lightly. I will find who did this, and they will pay.” He told you. You knew he was not lying. He would not stop until the culprit was in the ground.
“At least sit, then. Just for a moment. For me. Please?” You asked. He looked at you, eyes softening at your tone, and gave a small nod. You reached for his hand and he gave it to you, your fingers intertwining as you pulled him to the bed.
The pair of you sat. You rested your head atop his shoulder. He placed a kiss into your hair.
“Was it the greens?” You asked after a moment, breaking the silence.
He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t have to. Even if there wasn’t any proof of who had done this, you both knew the party behind it. Who else would do this? Who else knew you were leaving? It was not widespread news.
Harwin gave your hand a gentle squeeze. You closed your eyes and took a deep breath.
This was unforgivable. This was treason. This was war. They would regret not killing you in that fire, you would make sure of it.
But for now, this was where you were needed. With Harwin, by his side. You opened your eyes and moved your head to look up at him. He was watching you.
“You were right. I think I prefer the Keep,” you joked.
He laughed and you smiled.

Yay I’m not late to requests! I just started watching/reading one piece last week (don’t know what took me so long) And I love your writing! 😄 whose your favorite? Mine is Mihawk
I don’t really know the names of everything but can I request for Mihawk, Sir Crocodile, and Silvers Rayleigh with knife play (or hook play for crocodile), Breeding Kink, and role play (specifically cops and robbers thou ig it would be pirate and marine lol)
Please and thank you
Just last week!? Oh wow - I'm glad to see someone getting into it \o/ the more the merrier I say <3 May you enjoy the vast emotional roller coaster you have signed up for =D
My favorite? I have to say hands down it's Eustass Kid.
Second to him I like a lot of characters. It's probably faster to list the ones I don't like xD Between canon material and the fandom there's just such great takes on hundreds of characters.
But at this point I doubt anyone's dethroning Kid (My first favorite was Zoro, then Law, then suddenly just before Wano Kid took over).
*ahem* Thank you for asking by the way, it's nice to just gush a little -^_^-
Alright, by Character, let's Do this \o/
Sir Crocodile:
Knife Play - FUCK Yes - I mean, the hook aside, there is a lot of discipline and control in Edge Play - whether knives, or hooks, or sharp glass. Sir Crocodile's control of his hook is legendary. No one gets so much as a nick unless he means for them to, and no one avoids being cut if that's what he's going for.
As long as your clear about which side of the knife's edge is your limit, he'll ride that line skillfully, and happily. He'll have you concerned and shivering in anticipation for hours showing you his extensive collection. From hooks to knives to razor blades, to bananawani teeth.
Breeding Kink - Yes - There's two keys things that drive Crocodile in a relationship (there's dozens, but two of them are big), control and possession. He wants to mark you, fill you up, and make sure everyone knows that you're his - and to touch what's his is the highest of crimes.
Whether "Successful" or not is irrelevant. Just the act of filling you up is enough, and preferably to do so repeatedly. The first load always become foam for the second, sometimes the third. If it wasn't for the distinct scent of his cigars, he'd probably be more prone to covering you in his cum, vs filling you up with it.
Role Play (cops n robbers) - Sure - He's not big into the costumes or the role play, but he's not entirely against it. You might have to make sure you're catching him in the right mood more than anything else. But rest assured whether you're the good guy or not, he's going to be the one winning by the end of things. He'll corrupt all your heroes and have you squirming and begging under him in various ways.
I can say at the very least the costumes will go well with the requested scene. He's nothing if not a man with taste - and enough money to have all the custom clothes you could ever want to see made.
Silvers Rayleigh:
Knife Play - Yes - I think the only way he's into this is if there's no blood. Rayleigh doesn't strike me as someone willing to risk scarring his partner, even if they're just sharing his bed for a single night. But he's also skilled enough in general (and especially with blades) to be very comfortable with them. He'll tease and threaten and edge you for a good long while until you're a shivering, crying mess of nerves and anticipation.
Breeding Kink - FUCK Yes - I'm just going to say it as a head canon (as always for myself) but I think this guy's infertile. Genetics can be a bitch like that sometimes, but it's also possible some fight, injury, mishap, whatever ended up causing it. In spite of it, or maybe because of it, he loves to just pump his lovers full of cum. He's all calm and cool and collected and experienced, and he uses that to wine, dine, and dance his way into the evening he wants to have, but it's all to feel those tight wet walls shuddering against him as he adds to the mess.
And the mess is what I think he really revels in. Sweat, slick, cum, pleasure - whatever. He can be sensual sure, but sex is messy business and it's not a good meal unless you're wearing half of it by the end.
Role Play (cops n robbers) - Oh god you don't even know - I think at heart Rayleigh is a big kid. Role Play gives him an outlet for that, and even better it usually ends with one of his favorite activities. I also feel like he enjoys having an excuse to dress up. Left to his own devices he's not one to dress to the nines daily, but if you want him to play a role he'll lean into it.
And look unforgivably good while doing it too. Whether he's the cop, or the gentleman thief, the suave pirate or the stern marine, he wears it well. Plays his part well, too. And you, poor, inexperienced, naive you, will get caught up in his dance in all the ways you both want.
Dracule Mihawk:
Knife Play - Sure - Mihawk's vibe with knife/edge play is similar to Zoro's (or Zoro's is similar to his), by his skill this is something that he can keep control of, and so he's not against it. He'll tease and please you, but there's always something holding him back - swords, knives, etc. are for fighting - for killing more pointedly. He doesn't think it's diminishes a blade to use it for such a kink, but the line between lust and bloodlust is thin.
Breeding Kink - Yes - I can see Mihawk as a family man for sure. I can also see him as someone who likes to mark his partner as his own without leaving permanent marks. From watching bruising kisses fade, to admiring his seed dripping out of you, he just adores all the small ways you give yourself to him. If kids happen because of it, then so be it, he'll fill the role as best as he can, and in the meantime he'll continue to fill you up all the days you stay within his arms.
Role Play (cops n robbers) - I dunno - I don't know that I buy that Mihawk is nearly as serious as he portrays himself to be. I daresay I almost think this man is a bigger softie and dork than Law - but he's awkward outside of this persona he's created for himself, and he's not objectively good at role-playing.
A smooth dancer, a man of silk words and satin caresses, he is most certainly a capable and devoted lover. You might get him into some primal play - a rougher tumble with some hunter/hunted vibes, but that's as close to role play as I can see him getting.

Hi Kerrie! I really enjoy your writing can I request short/small reader hc for Kid and Law? 🥺
DESCRIPTION: You’re shorter than him
WARNINGS:  just fluff
CHARACTERS: Kid
WORDS: 444
A/N:  I'm so glad you enjoy my work and thank you for this request. I haven't been well the last couple days so only did something short and sweet with this idea with just Kid. Hope you like it
*REQUESTS ARE OPEN*
MASTERLIST | PROMPT LIST
———————
Tumblr media
Kid’s a tall and broad man to begin with and it’s clear he’ll have a head over most people. However the difference in your heights is even more pronounced because your height is naturally on the smaller side. He absolutely can not and will not be subtle about how much he loves you being short. When he’s standing next to you he will always rest his arm on your head and pathetically pretend he’s not doing anything but the large grin and his gaze constantly dropping down to watch your expression shift throughout the exchange. 
The first time he’d done this to you, your eyes had grown so wide out of shock and uncertainty about what to do in response that it made Kid smitten with you. He’d already had a clear soft spot for you beforehand but that moment was the point of no return for him and his awakened feelings for you. 
Now that you’re a couple though, whenever you sense his approach to engage in this banter that occurs at least three times a day you like to make a game out of it. Sometimes you like to move out of the way just in time for his arm to lurch on just air. Other times you like to let his weight settle on your head before you sit down or purposely drop something so you have to crouch down lower to retrieve it, forcing Kid to stoop further and further to the ground. other times you pretend he isn’t even there until his patience snaps and he has to scoop you into his arms and force you to look at him. When he does you can only grin and press a kiss against his cheek in playful greeting. 
Kid is also a menace to you when he demands your attention. It doesn’t matter if you’re doing something important, if he’s in a mood and wants to spend time with you then his needs win. There could be times you’re in mid-conversation with Killer, going over the current provisions on the ship and what needs to be urgently restocked the second you dock at a new island when you hear the heavy steps of Kid coming closer. Before you have the chance to turn your head, his arm is already around your waist and he’s lifting you off the ground. You’ll either be set over his shoulder or tucked under his arm, your limbs dangling in the air as you let him carry you to your shared quarters. You don’t complain though, you feel just as content and secure as he does when you’re curled up in his arms.

Hi there, new anon here bc I don’t use tumblr like, almost ever. apologies for the rambling about how I love ur AU’s that’s incoming. Or if I did this wrong. Idk how to use tumblr.
Ok SO, I’ve been following your AUs on AO3 for the past few months and first of all, love it, I love your continuity with metaphors or specific descriptors that span across works, like Grian’s banded wings, glamor as heat haze on tarmac, scott having hair like spun sugar, just AUGHHHH so good I love. Little details like that make me as a writer and ofc fanfic enjoyed foam at the mouth. It’s so vivid I can picture it in my mind, I love the eclectic feel of the undercity, the mechanical lore things like wagons in Traveling thieves or rail carts and labs in TTSBC! Don’t even get me started on the peice about Doc and Etho in the depths, that one is so so good.
And your phenomenal foreshadowing? Like first read through never guessed that avian at Fremeere’s was skizz, but I went back after your recent upload and wow it totally is! Or how first read of TTSBC I never thought the two directors were the same because I hopped around in the reading order, but now it’s wayyy too similar! And now I get why a past and long dead antagonist would have such a specific and recognizable speech pattern… eerie. I love it. Can’t wait to learn more about that storyline!! I wonder how much Tango knows about Doc’s history with the labs and if he realizes the connection after talking with Zedaph. Zedango my beloved! Or just tango content/lore in general hehe. (Also, I find it humorous that Grian and Tango’s boyfriends have almost the same trauma as their dad, lol) Also, love how close the characters are to being reunited in Traveling Thieves!! They’re so close!
Anywhoo, just stopped by to say that Cub is litterally providing scar/Hot Guy with weapons in Scar’s new episode, only to see that you already saw that ofc. I was litterally kicking my feet and squeaking about it bc it’s just like TTSBC and your AU makes me so genuinely happy to read and has me in a chokehold. But the rocket arrows?? That are Hot Guy brand color coded! And expensive and I can see character!Cub being exasperated about scar’s trigger happy use of the rockets in the same way he doesn’t call the lab the Hot Cave, hehe. Or Scar showing off to Grian that he’s not the only one who can shoot sparkly projectiles!
so yeah, ik you already saw that, but i wanted to share that it’s so perfect for TTSBC or else my brain would not leave me alone lmao
DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR THE RAMBLES
I LOVE RAMBLES!!!!
I'm so glad you love my little tells for the characters! Heat haze on tarmac, hair like spun sugar, stuff like that just feels like it helps make a certain trait pop and so I try to make sure every character has at least one of them! I'm so glad you enjoy the mechanical ascept of the AUs! Both TTSBC and TT have their own little things, moving parts that keep the worlds going!
I love trying to layer in foreshadowing when I can! Skizz appearing, but I purposefully didn't tag him as a character because, thanks to avian culture, he doesn't use his name, and so it's not until we get to see from his POV that we actually get confirmation that's him!
I have no idea what you're talking about with the director, tho, because she's totally dead! She died 24 years ago during the Anarchy! Any odd vocal ticks and specific dislikes for hypothesis is completely coincidental and should be, should be, should be disregarded. 😑
They do, don't they? Whoops. I guess Doc has a lot to relate to when it comes to his future sons-in-law, huh?
CUB IS THE GUY-IN-THE-CHAIR CONFIRMED!!!! AGGGH!
Thank you so much for your rambles I absolutely loved reading them!!!! 💖

Thpughts on the RLS!Siblings?? 👀
Mostly about how funny would be some interactions with RLS + ASL siblings bc y'know, lusan. Like, they doing a "family dinner" kinda thing, but with much much caos and Luffy loving his boyfriend :)
Also, I love your posts! Your Misora fic is amazing, I reread at least two chapters everyday 😭❤
Ah, I'm glad you liked NBL! Its definitely a rare pair I'll love until the end of time.
As for my thoughts on RSL with an ASL family dinner: you're right it would be chaotic. Sabo and Koala are visiting and checking in when the Heart Pirates show up so Luffy throws a party because it's two family reunions in one. So Law is putting up with Luffy's shenanigans as Robin is catching Sabo up on the fact she, Sanji, and Law are also siblings. Sanji is cooking for the feast as Ace is talking with Shachi and Penguin.
At some point Law manages to corral the five of them into the Tang for a more private conversation. So the six of them are in the mess hall of the Polar Tang to talk, mostly about how RSL became siblings. Luffy is sitting on Sanji much to Law and Sabo's annoyance, Ace is laughing as he sits next to Sanji who knows it's a losing battle on every end for him. Robin is giggling as she sits between Law and Sabo, Luffy immediately starts playing with Sanji's hands.
Law throws a room out but is promptly fended off by Robin's devil fruit and Sanji does kick Law in the shin.
Sabo threatens to remove the cook from life if he does anything to hurt Luffy. Sanji has questions about why Sabo phrased it like that because look at Sanji's brother and sister. Look at them Sabo.
Sanji's been threatened far worse for far less. And he says so. Do better Sabo.
Sabo is absolutely offended by Sanji's attitude towards his threat but Ace has absolutely lost it and Law has given up to join his sister and Luffy in giggling as the blonds stare down each other. If they thought they were going to have a serious discussion they were wrong. Sanji is just like "I'm the only person in the room without a devil fruit and I can still set myself on fire" which makes Sabo look at Luffy in disbelief and ask where he found him. A fish shaped floating restaurant in the East Blue is not an acceptable answer apparently.
Robin says that she and Law found Sanji in the North Blue before that. Law hums and says that maybe the North Blue was good for something, despite sending Sanji to the East Blue and Robin to the Grand Line and keeping him there but Robin points out he got to keep Bepo. Law says he lost all three of his families but at least he got the bear in the most sarcastic tone.
Luffy asks what he means so Law talks about Amber Lead and his home town, Rosinante who adopted him and then sacrificed himself for him, and then Sanji and Robin. The glare Robin and Sanji get is very familiar and Robin pats Law's shoulder and off handedly mentions the three buster calls she's survived and Sanji points out he and Luffy were there for two of them. Robin acknowledges that despite Law's very, very tired look.
"I stabbed myself in the face to prove to Shanks I was tough, but I was aiming for my eye." Luffy says as he plays with Sanji's fingers.
"How did he convince you to be with him?" Law asks Sanji with despair.
"He refused my refusal." Sanji deadpans.
"Have you tried killing him?" Ace asks. "That's what Sabo and I used to do before we gave in."
"I tried killing myself." Sanji shrugs as Luffy immediately pinches his wrist in punishment for his phrasing making him hiss in pain.
"Yeah, you broke your back kicking me and Nami out of the way of an avalanche and I had to dig you out." Luffy grumbles.
"That's on you Captain, you could have left him there." Robin smiles.
"I would have." Law agrees before he looks at Sanji. "You broke your back?"
"Mhm, fought the next day." Sanji answers as everyone stares at him except Luffy. "Thanks for saving my boyfriend and his brother by the way." Sanji waves of the looks easily.
"Yeah, no problem. Figured you had all died and he didn't need that too." Law nods.
"Our apologies." Robin says.
"None of you guys are allowed to die." Luffy orders them all. They all agree easily.

I really loved your post about religious extremism and I wanted to add that a lot of the people using the "peaceful, noble Palestinian" trope (like you said, the noble savage trope) would have no problem understanding that a Christian population is bigoted against gays because they were raised in that faith and ministered to by bigots -- for instance, Russian leadership using the language of Christianity to make "same sex propaganda" illegal (I literally know someone who went to jail for kissing another woman in front of Russian police) and then holding them to account when said government is removed from power, or even refusing to forgive them even when they've changed. These are totally understandable reactions to bigotry, even societal bigotry (my grandfather remains deeply homophobic due to his Christianity and even if he one day changes, I don't know that I'll be able to forgive him for supporting conversion therapy).
But when it's a non-Western population? Suddenly those people CAN'T be bigoted and CAN'T have been fed antisemitism and hatred for their entire lives because. I don't know, it's different with them! I know so many wonderful, affirming, progressive Muslims who have done the work to reinterpret and decolonize their faith, the same as I do Christians, Jews, Hindus, etc.. But I also know that in the Middle East, many don't DO that sort of reflection -- largely because they don't have the ability to due to decades of corrupt leadership and authoritarian rule. You can be a victim of religious extremism by virtue of being raised in it, but we NEED to hold these people to the same standards as we do Westerners coming out of religious extremism.
I'm not shocked Palestinians support Hamas -- it fucking sucks in Gaza, and has for a while. That's how terrorism gets its roots, same as the Taliban, the KKK, Al-Qaeda, etc; it preaches to a suffering population and promises it everything it wants, if only you'll hate XYZ group, if only you'll give us your children, etc. If we truly want to free Palestine -- which I do, I am a supporter of Palestinian self determination and ending anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia -- then we need to understand all this and help them decolonize and de-terrorize.
(I hope any of that made sense, I just sort of rambled)
Daww, thank you! I'm glad my pot struck a chord with you. ^_^
Yeah, believe it or not, I do have a lot of sympathy for the average Palestinian Muslim/Christian. It's just... like Atticus said of Mayella Ewell in To Kill a Mockingbird, my sympathy doesn't extend so far as to condone anihilating Israel and massacring all Jews.
I do believe that everyone has a right to self-determination and self-government. Gay people have a right to marry who they love, trans people have a right to dress and live as the gender they identify as, Arab Muslims have a right to worship Allah with Muhammad as his last and final Prophet, Jews have a right to self-determine and self-govern, etc.
TBH, I think there's a cruel irony that an estimated 30-60% of Palestinian Arabs share ancient Canaanite/Hebrew ancestry with modern Jews (meaning, they're also descended from ancient Jews), but since the region was forcibly conquered and converted by Islamic Caliphs in the 600's, it's fair to assume their Jewish ancestors were colonized and/or forcibly converted. (Or at least passively pressured to convert over time, since non-Muslims in Sharia Law are made to pay a poll tax and live as second-class citizens to Muslim citizens--so who wouldn't want to switch to Islam under that literal two-tiered legal system?)
Part of me thinks, "Why would you WANT to stay with Islam when your ancestors were conquered and forcibly converted (or at least passive-aggressively pressured to convert) as sure as Vietnam is largely Catholic because of their French Catholic former colonisers? BUT AGAIN, I respect their right to self-determination and their desire for self-government. If the Palestinian Muslims with ancient Hebrew blood want to stay with Islam, live in an Islamic society, and be ruled by an Islamic government, that's their right.
With that said, part of me feels like the average Palestinian Muslims (and Christians) have been duped by their Islamofascist government to see Israeli Jews not as long-lost brothers and sisters who finally returned home after centuries in exile, but as "foreign invaders" trying to take what little scraps they have. Both in the early 20th century and early 21's century.
You know that leftist meme that goes like:
"A CEO, white kid, and black kid sit at a table. The CEO's plate is piled high with 10 cookies, white the kids' are empty. He then tosses a cookie to the white kid and says, 'That black kid wants to steal your cookie.'"?
That is LITERALLY Hamas is doing to the Palestinian Arabs and Jews!
Hamas notoriously hoards as much of Gaza's food, fuel, water, resources, and wealth as they can, throw their people just enough scraps to get by, and then tells them, "Those Jews wants to steal your land, your religion, and your liberty. Help us kill the Jew, and you'll be living in Paradise." When the state of the rest of the Middle East (which have little to no Jews left in them) shows otherwise.
And I'm so disgusted by how the Left West recognizes that manipulation tactic when it comes to rich white CEO's duping poor whites into blaming black "welfare queens" and brown "illegal immigrants" for their lack of the good life, but somehow CAN'T connect the dots when Islamofascist dictators who openly hoard all their country's resources for themselves and spread oppressive violence and misogyny to the rest of the population do the exact same thing to the average impoverished Muslim regarding "Jews" and "Western invaders."
The average Muslim? Believe it or not, I DO have some sympathy. Based on what I've seen and read from various ex-Muslims, it sounds like Arab Islamic culture doesn't really encourage critical thinking, self-examination, or widespread education as the norm. MANY ex-Muslims I've met and talked to IRL, and that I follow on social media, talk about how, when they were growing up
A lot of Palestinians are also pretty upfront about how "we don't question" what they've been taught about Islam and Jews.
youtube
But, you know what? As far as I'm concerned, it's time to START questioning. It's time to START thinking about it. It's time to START making room for non-Muslims to live beside and share equal rights and resources with Muslims.
And I'm so grossed out that the Western Left encourages the religious bigotry, intolerance, and "no dogs or Jews allowed here!" segregation because "It's their culture/religion." Well then, they need to change with the times like everyone else.

Oh my god, you're THE AUTHOR of that one Mastermind x Chameleon fic on ao3! I'm a huge fan of your work, but I don't have an ao3 account, plus they disabled commenting, but I just wanna say that I'm a huge fan! Keep up the good work! Also, though I've personally never really put relations on the island for Stonemover in my headcanons (makes him more sad lonely British orphan coded to me), I personally am *loving* your idea of Stonemover and Mastermind being brothers. Just a worried older brother faced with so much after they found out about his animus magic and how people on the island whispered of his future madness and how he should be avoided, and the younger, nerdier brother who never fit in due to his nerdiness, and the older just wants to look out for the younger... Though I think I recall Mastermind mentioning in your fic that they grew apart? I'm not sure how you envisioned it, but after reading your fic, I really thought about maybe Stonemover returning to the island, only to see Mastermind gaining some success and he has Farsight and Mastermind claims that they're having a dragonet, while he remains convinced that his own romance can never work out, and then that's when Stonemover decides to leave the island, because he thinks that Mastermind no longer needs him? It'll sure be a doozy if they ever reunite. Maybe they'll figure out how to use the telephone? Maybe Sunny and Starflight will suddenly find out about each other's fathers being related? Anyway, sorry for the ramble, but I think that your ideas are really cool!
FIrstly, thank you thank you thank you!! This ask made me so happy to read, I'm so glad you like my stuff!! And now I'm going to ramble back at you because this stuff has been stuck inside my head for so long and I need to get it out!
And about some of what you said-- yes, Mastermind and Stonemover do grow apart, and some of it is some kind of rivalry, but it's also kind of two sided? Like Stonemover is jealous of his brother being able to do just do all this stuff he was never particularly good at, while Mastermind is a bit jealous of Stonemover not seeming to have to try to do things for the tribe since he just has it in his talons (and also he's a bit salty about his brother breaking the laws of physics and sometimes drives himself a little bonkers trying to come up with scientific explanations for feats of animus magic), and they both don't understand why the other seems to be suffering, even though it's the same reason: ludicrous expectations and severe overwork.
Now, about Farsight and Thorn and all that, although it's definitely an interesting angle, I do personally prefer to sideline it just a bit. Like Stonemover knows his brother has a girlfriend, but not much else, and Mastermind thinks it's a bit funny that Stonemover keeps hanging out in the desert, but hey you can see the sun there, and he's not one to judge. They can freak about them both having children around the same age later when they reunite and feel bad for not paying attention to each other and their struggles more.
Oh yeah their reunion! It is, as you put it, a doozy. Provided nothing changes, it should happen in chapter twenty-one of my current longfic. [(Re)Building Bridges, the one "I had a brother once..." was impatiently spun off from.] It takes that long because Stonemover can't really use a phone from where he's stuck to the floor, and Mastermind never told anybody except for Chameleon about his dead brother, and he doesn't tell anybody else about his dead brother (at least not by name), and so nobody realises they're related until M & C end up down at JMA for plot reasons.
So yeah! Mastermind is horrified by the fact that his brother felt the need to turn himself to stone and feels terrible about it, and then he has to tell him about the RainWing experiments and his intense moral failing and every other terrible thing that happened to him after Stonemover left. Then they have a mutual moment of understanding when Stonemover explains how he was forced to do *something* bad with his animus magic (I haven't decided on what yet) that pushed him over the edge and prompted him to leave, although it's really not the same they can still sympathize. There is lots of screaming, and crying, and Mastermind is kind of mad his brother was practically left to die in a cave after doing this to himself even after others fell out because somebody needs to be, and they find a way to keep in touch and promise they won't ever fall apart or resent each other ever again.
Meanwhile everybody else, who were preoccupied in the plot reasons, is confused as all hell as to why those two (Mastermind especially) are acting that way and Chameleon is like "oh yeah that's his dead brother" and then everybody else freaks out but differently because 1. even though there's no classes right now, they had a bit of a situation going on in their school 2. two of them just got surprise cousin'd 3. oh yeah also this weird green rainwing is here too 4. they still have plot reasons to deal with and finally 5. oh moons there are way too many things going on at once!! It's a whole situation, but the brothers reunite and they stop crying eventually and it's fine. :)
So yeah thanks for the ask, I'm glad you liked my work, and sorry for rambling a poorly formatted essay at you lol. <3

A Retelling of My Mind Whilst Reading Shadow Kissed-
Omg it's the Sixth Sense up in this bitch
Bitch when are you ever "just tired" when weird shit starts happening to you, I swear to fuck.
Rose is so me because I too would rather die than spend an extended amount of time with my best friends boyfriend.
Eddie Castile the man that you are.
From the bottom of my heart I hope Jesse gets his shit rocked.
Omg Rose girl do something, ANYTHING. YOU'RE EMBARRASSING US.
Least Favorite Trope: Entire plot would be resolved if this dumbass just like communicated the issues she is having OMFG.
If Rose Hathaway has no haters all her teachers must be dead because wtf is their issue???
Homegirl is unstable at best.
I feel like at this point she should probably go to where Mason the Friendly Ghost is pointing.
Girly-pop that's not a migraine....
I do not fucking trust that bitch Tatianna
*Viktor explains master plan* "Cool motive still murder"
*Law and Order sounds*
HE JUST SAID THAT SHIT IN OPEN COURT IT'S ON THE RECORD
How much of an asshole do you have to be that it's more believable that you're lying than a crime having actually happened lol
Lissa is so clueless it's kinda funny.
You know what I hope Rose fucks Adrienne and gets pregnant just to spite Tatianna.
She wants her nails done omg she's just a girl 🥺
*starts looking at my tarot book to see if this is accurate*
I love when Dimitri starts lore dropping to Rose
Well.... I think they know about the ghosts now.
That doctor is the only rational adult at the school cause literally why tf didn't she talk to a counselor.
Her therapist just clocked her so hard.
Well that's an unfortunate fact about Shadow Kissed Anna
Dimitri took part in that attack exercise specifically so she would hop on it lmao
Can't even celebrate for a moment before Lissa is off doing something dumb I swear to god
Lissa try not to get tortured challenge go
*New power unlocked*
YES ROSE BEAT HIS ASS GIRL......oh shit.....GIRL YOU GOT HIM IT'S GOOD.
She's like a feral cat.... Dimitri should use a spray bottle.
Oh my GOD IT'S HAPPENING EVERYONE REMAIN FUCKING CALM
Girl you gotta give me more details than that PLEASE
"My body ached" that'll happen when your first time is with a 6'7 Russian built like a tank
CAN WE NOT HAVE ONE GOD DAMN MOMENT OF PEACE
Girl I'm gonna throw up he's all alone out there.
CHRISTIAN OZERA THE MAN THAT YOU ARE
HE DIDN'T DIE THANK FUCK
Mason upstaging Dimitri even from the afterlife that's my man right there.
SECRET TUNNELS, SECRET TUNNELS THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS
The uncanny ability that 17 year old female herions have to radicalize societies is amazing
Do y'all think Dimitri came up with that life plan while he was fighting the strigoi?
"You're scared of my mother" um yea girl she's fs going to catch an attempted murder charge once she finds out.
*Clenched my jaw so tight during the cave fight it started to hurt*
Oh my God girl stop internal monologuing about how everything is going to work out THAT ALWAYS GOES POORLY
Oh God it's that blonde bitch from earlier this is going to be so much worse than him being dead.
Rose: *literally tries to throw herself back into a vicious attack just to save Dimitri's body*
Everyone Else: She just respected him as a teacher so much there's no other possible explanation.
Lissa clocking what was happening with Rose and Dimitri just now is like when someone steals the answer on Wheel of Fortune after the other contestant mispronounced the phrase
*Knows it's definitely going to happen* "Dimitri is a strigoi"*gasps*
I'm shocked they didn't grab like a single Guardian teacher to try and talk down Rose like why tf did they think Kirova would have any affect.
I know it's not malicious on Lissa's part but I'm glad Rose is finally speaking about how one sided this relationship is.
"Off to kill the man I love" oh this next book is going to fuck me up.
