relationship hcs — hancock
a/n: the girls that get it, get it
Tumblr media
(nsfw below cut!)
★ ! sfw
hancock is a tough nut to crack
under all the swagger, the sarcastic remarks and the self-deprecating jokes, hancock is actually pretty sad
sad and a little lonely - despite the sense of community tying the people of goodneighbor together
so when he first starts following you around, it's precisely for the reason he claims: to clear his head and find purpose again
the fact that he finds you cute doesn't have a terrible lot to do with it
because while he doesn't always sell himself short, he likes to think of himself as a realist - he's him, and you're, well, you're you
it doesn't help that half his security personnel in goodneighbor can't seem to take their eyes off of you anytime you visit
and while the thought of it kind of pisses him off, he knows that he's the one sharing stories, bottles and cigarettes when you're sitting around a fire at night, out in the wastes, just him and just you
it takes a long time for him to admit his feelings to himself
which doesn't deter him from flirting with you, obviously
and despite you laughing and blushing before hurling an ironic retort in his direction, he never believes the bickering between you to mean anything
but somehow, you make him less afraid
less afraid of everything, and especially of himself
he'll start dropping hints about his feelings, but given the dynamic between you two, it only manages to leave you more confused
so you'd end up having to take matters into your own hands and ask him about his behavior to make him fess up
less big on pda, but trust me when i say emotional intimacy is such a huge thing
like this man is your soulmate, end of story
he loves showing you off (bc ur sexy)
and when you inch closer to him at night, your soft skin reaching out to touch his rough hands and face ...
let's just say the entire wasteland had never seen a ghoul smile brighter ever before
★ ! nsfw
i'm convinced hancock fucks, first of all
but with you?
he's insecure as hell, and it'd take him a short while to work up the courage to initiate any physical intimacy
freak in the streets and the sheets!
he'd never do anything you're not comfortable with, though - if you're more on the vanilla side of things, he'll adapt
you're his top priority after all
and even when he's going sweet and slow, it's always so, so hot
he uses his words and voice a lot and praises you like there's no tomorrow

THE LITTLE THINGS (2021) Grade: C-
Very vanilla considering the cast. I thought it will be a hidden gem. Kept thinking a bigger twist will happen or a great ending. Neither happen.

FFXIV Write 2023 Day 15 - Portentous
Portentous: Adjective. Marvelous; amazing; prodigious OR ominously significant or indicative. Characters: Ayaka Mizushima (WoL), Hancock Fitzgerald Expansion: Endwalker Rating: G Notes: Takes place sometime after my Dowdy prompt! The same spoilers for that regarding Mount Rokkon apply here as well!
Ayaka can say with certainty that she wasn’t expecting the lamp to teleport them away from the storerooms—let alone the entire temple.
As a seasoned adventurer, she should have seen it coming and warned Hancock that there was no way this puzzle they uncovered wasn’t going to lead them somewhere. She’s been through this enough to see it coming. Truthfully, she was expecting to find them in some other part of the building they couldn’t access before.
Except when she followed after Hancock and opened her eyes to a land covered in mist and devoid of color, she could honestly admit she was a bit surprised.
“This feels ominous,” came Hancock’s voice from ahead. He was looking around, peering into the fog. “It appears the path that lies ahead is the only way out.”
That caused Ayaka to turn to see what was behind her. She sighed at the high stone cliffs blocking their way and realized that Hancock was, unfortunately, right. “We’d best be careful then… Who knows what spirit could be lurking.”
“Sound advice, my friend,” Hancock said, slowly making his way towards what appeared to be the stepping stones. As Ayaka took in their surroundings, she thought even the water looked still and murky. She sent a prayer to whatever kami could hear her to keep her from having to fight a monster lurking in the water. Ayaka really didn’t want to get her clothes wet today.
“You know…” Hancock started, pausing on one of the steps. “The monks informed me about the rumors of a sanctuary somewhere in the mountain… The way they described it made it sound more grand than this.”
Ayaka hummed, taking in the washed out scenery and frowned. Something about this place felt… off? She wondered if it was mostly the fog that made this secluded area more unnerving, but something in the back of her mind kept feeling like something was watc—
It was then that a roar shattered the tranquil air and the fog began to… move? Ayaka swore it seemed like the fog was moving and, when she looked over at Hancock’s startled expression, she realized that yes, it was moving.
“Behind me,” Ayaka ordered, drawing her rapier and pointing it towards the swirling mass forming in the clearing before him. From the dense fog, she could see a pair of red eyes staring at them. “I think we found the source of this fog.”
“Smoke,” Hancock corrected, pointing to the large pipe the beast was holding. “It would appear the smoke covering the area comes from that.”
‘An enenra then,’ Ayaka thought, pursing her lips as she tried to recall the stories her grandmother told her over a late summer bonfile. She didn’t think they were normally hostile, but as Ayaka was coming to find out, the corruption of the temple was making far too many spirits behave erratically.
As the beast gave another roar, Ayaka drew closer towards their arena.

On the 78th Anniversary of the Trinity Bomb Test
Sunday’s “Interfaith Remembrance of the Trinity Test” held at the Santa Maria de la Paz Community Hall in Santa Fe commemorated the July 16, 1945 explosion of the Trinity atom bomb in the Tularosa Basin, this country’s first step in its march towards nuclear proliferation and the establishment of New Mexico as a “nuclear colony.” It was an interesting mix of faith-based groups—Catholic,…

@medicus-mortem​ sent:
Law takes another swig of his drink, the cool liquid soothing a parched throat. Golden eyes watch his crew and the Kuja that have brought them today's lunch. Keeping both parties within his sharp gaze in the hopes it'll stop his boys from doing something stupid and enable him to act if any Kuja warrior reaches for a bow. He doesn't trust them, even if they do care for his patient. Law even scans his crew for poison after every prepared meal. Honestly, he wishes these women would just leave supplies for them and fuck off.
Out of the corner of his eye the doctor catches sight of a white cloak fluttering as its owner strides on with purpose. His jaw tightens, a heavy sigh passing his lips. Then there is this bitch and her bullshit. He creates a Room and vanishes from his sitting position. Law pops into existence right in front of Boa Hancock, his arms crossed and golden eyes cold.
"Where the fuck do you think you're going?" he snarls.
Tumblr media
What a terrible situation. Her heart ached deep in her chest as she grieved both for Luffy’s emotional loss as well as the condition he was in. When Hancock had arrived back on Amazon Lily she had demanded that Luffy be brought into the palace to be under her watch and care. The male doctor and his team could be housed in there too. Gloriosa had denied her, insisting they keep to their customs no matter the current situation. Hancock didn’t care if she was ousted as empress or exiled from the land... not that such a thing would ever occur. She would be forgiven by her people of course, for she is beautiful.
She was restless, anxious that she had to stay so far away from Luffy when he was in need. She couldn’t even eat. Not until she knew he was okay. It didn’t help that that damned doctor was so insolent. His attitude was unforgiveable and she would have attempted to kill him several times if it hadn’t been for the fact that he was the only thing keeping her husband-to-be alive.
Her legs were carrying her back towards the outskirts of the island, Hancock unable to sit still in the palace. It had been too long since she received an update. She walked past her warriors that were standing guard, only halting when the doctor himself appeared in front of her.
Tumblr media
She kept her chin up as she glared down at him, her expression steeled, “To see Luffy! I must see him. You cannot keep him from me any longer, Trafalgar!” Why must this male be so uncooperative?

(Miss hancock was not a wrestler; actually, more of a sex appeal to keep ratings up before she emerged as Stacy Keibler. She would come out and seductively dance, do cat fights and sometimes put input on the match. Overall; someone Therese would hate.)
Alice: Ahhh, I see -- so she may have dressed like Therese, but she acted more like Jeanette, got it. Yes, Therese definitely would not be happy with the comparison then!

Is the spiritual person a conspiracy theorist? A list of red flags
They talk about a shadowy group of people supposedly manipulating everything behind the scenes. They might refer to them by terms such as globalists, bankers, international bankers, secret rulers of the world, the elite, the cabal, Kabbalists, Talmudists, satanists, satanic pedophiles, pedophiles, generational satanists, satanic bloodlines, the Illuminati, the Babylonian Brotherhood, lizard people, Reptilians, Orions, regressives, regressive entities, Khazarians, Marxists, cultural Marxists, or leftists. Sometimes, very rarely, they'll just come right out and say "Jews."
They claim that the conspiracy has been working to conceal historical and spiritual truths from humanity.
They claim that the conspiracy uses stuff like food, entertainment, and medicine to control the masses. For example, "additives in food suppress our psychic abilities" or "Hollywood films contain subliminal messages" or "COVID vaccines were actually created to alter your DNA to make you more docile."
Also, claims that the conspiracy controls people via spiritual or technological implants, 5G, or alter programming, with or without explicit mention of Project Monarch (a conspiracy theory promoted by far right cranks such as Mark Philips and Fritz Springmeier, who used hypnosis to respectively convince Cathy O'Brien and Cisco Wheeler that they'd been put under mind control by a global satanic conspiracy).
They claim that this conspiracy is controlling the media, has fingers in every institution they disagree with, and is generally behind everything they disagree with. (EG, the conspiracy created the Catholic Church; that other New Ager they disagree with is actually controlled opposition, etc.)
They claim that the conspiracy is trying to keep people in fear.
They claim that the conspiracy harvests something from people. Blood and adrenochrome are common ones. Loosh is somewhat less common. Expect to see something else pop up eventually.
They claim that the conspiracy practices genetic engineering; EG, creating animal/human hybrids, using vaccines to genetically sever people's connection to God, etc.
They claim that true spiritual wisdom can be traced back to places like Atlantis, Lemuria, or Mu.
They claim that world governments have secretly been in contact with extraterrestrials for years.
They appeal to known frauds and cranks, including but not limited to Erich Von Daniken, Zechariah Sitchin, David Icke, David Wilcock, Graham Hancock, Jaime Maussan, Bob Lazar, Steven Greer, Richard C. Hoagland, Fritz Springmeier, and Drunvalo Melchizedek.
Appeals to forged documents, including but not limited to the alleged diary of Admiral Richard Byrd, The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean, and The Urantia Book.
Appeals to channeled information, such as that provided by Edgar Cayce, Carla Rueckert, or George Van Tassel.
"But all of this has to come from somewhere, doesn't it?"
Oh, it all comes from somewhere, all right, but the where isn't what most people imagine.
A lot of the stuff above is just a modern spin on the content of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a Russian hoax created to justify violence against Russian Jews. The Protocols itself was plagiarized from a political satire and incorporated a lot of the post-French Revolution conspiracy theories about Freemasons and Jews being behind the French Revolution. I wrote a summary of the conspiracy tropes found in The Protocols over here.
The stuff about Satanic sacrifices and the consumption of blood, adrenochrome, loosh, or whatever are simply just variations on blood libel, an antisemitic conspiracy theory that claims Jews practice ritual cannibalism. Blood libel can be traced back to ancient Greece. (With the Greek version, I really can't help but notice the similarity to modern urban legends of gangsters kidnapping random people for initiation rituals.)
Many of these tropes can also be linked back to the early modern witch hunts. It was believed that witches sacrificed babies to Satan, practiced cannibalism, and put people under mind control by way of diabolical magic. It was also believed that some witches didn't even know they were witches; they'd go off to attend the Devil's Sabbath at night and come back in the morning without remembering a thing. In the late 20th century, this witch hunter's canard would be reinvented as the alter programming conspiracy theory when media such as the 1973 book Sibyl and its 1976 television adaptation put DID (note: the woman who inspired Sibyl did not have DID) into the public consciousness. For a more complete list of witch panic and blood libel tropes, I wrote a list over here.
Lemuria was a hypothetical landmass proposed to explain the presence of lemur fossils in Madagascar and India while being absent in continental Africa and the rest of Asia, because if lemurs evolved naturally, they wouldn't be in two separate places with no connection to each other. The discovery that India and Madagascar were once connected not only made the hypothesis obsolete, it precludes the existence of Lemuria.
The whole notion of Mu began with a horrendous mistranslation of the Troano manuscript. A man named Augustus Le Plongeon would link the mistranslation with the story of Atlantis, and use it to claim that Atlantis actually existed in the Americas. (For Plongeon, Mu and Atlantis were one and the same.) And then other people (like James Churchward) got their hands on the whole Mu thing, and put their own spins on it, and the rest is history.
Le Plongeon's ideas influence modern Atlantis mythology today; EG, the idea that it was in the Americas. Another guy who helped shape the modern Atlantis myth was Ignatius L. Donnelly, an American politician. Dude claimed that Atlanteans spread their oh-so-superior culture far and wide. He also claimed that Atlantis was the home of the Aryan people, because of course he did.
The idea that all of the world's wisdom can be traced back to Thoth/Hermes goes back to Hermeticism, a product of Greco-Egyptian syncretism. Hermeticism produced a fascinating body of mythology and an interesting way to consider the divine and its role in shaping human history, but that doesn't mean it was right. And the Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean is a modern text that has fuck-all to do with ancient Hermeticism and more to do with HP Lovecraft.
This idea that the conspiracy uses pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines for evil also has roots in Nazi Germany. The Nazi government, wanting to reserve real medicine for their soldiers, told the general populace that said medicine was the product of evil Jewish science and prescribed alternative healing modalities instead. (Said alternative healing modalities did not particularly work.) It also echoes the old conspiracy theories about Jews spreading the Black Death by poisoning wells.
The idea that the conspiracy uses genetic manipulation to create subhuman beings or sever humanity from the divine is a permutation of the Nazi conspiracy theory that Jews are trying to destroy the white race through race mixing. The idea of evil reptilian DNA goes back to the ancient serpent seed doctrine, which is indeed old, but no less pure hateful nonsense for it.
"But there's got to be somebody up to something rotten out there!"
Oh sure. But these people aren't skulking around in the shadows. They're acting pretty openly.
The Heritage Foundation has been working to push this country into Christofascism since the early 1970's. They're the ones responsible for the rise of the Moral Majority and the election of Ronald Reagan. They're also the ones behind Project 2025, which intends to bring us deeper into Christofascism. (Among many other horrible things, they intend to outlaw trans people as "pornographic.")
The Seven Mountains Mandate is another movement pushing for Christofascism. They intend to seize the "seven spheres" of society, which include education, religion, family, business, government/military, arts/entertainment, and media.
There's also the ghoulish American Evangelicals who support Israel because they think that current events are going to bring about the Second Coming of Jesus and cement the formation of a global Christofascist empire. Don't let their apparent support of Jews fool you - they believe that the good Jews will become Christians and the bad ones will go to hell.
All of these people are working toward monstrously horrific goals, but none of them are part of an ancient megaconspiracy. In fact, these are the kinds of people pushing the myth of the ancient megaconspiracy. From the witch hunts to Nazi Germany to the American Evangelical movement, if history has taught us anything, the people pushing the conspiracy theories are always the bad guys.
