Speedrun/Time Travel AU masterlist

#speedrun au #one piece #time travel au #op fanart #sabo #monkey d. luffy #portgas d. ace #asl brothers #time travel aus are my favourite trope for any fandom's fanfic #but this especially is why i want it for one piece #because I needed ace to die in canon. luffy NEEDED to get that wake up call and his whole crew NEEDED badly to get stronger #but ace is so much more than just a plot device for luffy... he was a person who was loved by so many people because #he made so many people happy #if luffy and his crew travelled back in time... they wouldn't need to worry anymore about their strength #Ace could live you know.... #He could meet sabo while he was an adult #sabo could meet ACE while he was an adult #ALSO SIDE NOTE BUT SABO ALSO REMEMBERS THE TIME TRAVEL SHENANIGANS!!! but def not as well as any of the strawhats #i think the thing he remembers most is what he felt when he regained his memories in the first timeline #u guys... this comic was so vivid in my mind i HAD to draw it out... like i was planning on doin other time travel au comics before #but like I HAD to draw this because i had such intense ASL feelings #I tried to think if Ace would just start cussing sabo out cause like WHY DID YOU LET US THING U WERE DEAD ; - ;??? WHY DIDNT U CONTACT US?? #but i think ace is really tired... like he's been worrying about luffy... and suddenly his brother starts uncharacteristically start #full out bawling in his arms... and he's really confused right now but both of his brothers are here and they're both crying #so there's really only one thing he can do #anyways i hope u enjoyed the comic #op spoilers #<- oops forgot to add that my b

remember the headcanon that Alhaitham was wearing hearing aids? we should bring that back i think Bonus:

Alt text under the cut

A short comic, all drawn with a loose style in a warmly tinted grayscale. The first panel depicts Scaramouche from Genshin Impact, he is dressed in the attire he wears as the playable Wanderer character and is angrily gesticulating towards the viewer and looking down at them scornfully. He says, in all capital letters, "are you deaf??". The second panel is a view from behind the Wanderer, showing the viewer that he was yelling at the Genshin Impact character Alhaitham. Alhaitham is significantly taller than the wanderer, even with his hat, and has a neutral expression and stance. The Wanderer has an anime style anger mark above his head, and Alhaitham has a speech bubble that only contains ellipses.

In the first panel of the second image, the Wanderer and Alhaitham still face one another in the same poses, except for Alhaitham's right hand. His hand is moving in the American Sign Language sign for "yes", which is also plainly written out for the viewer in text. The wanderer's anger symbol is no longer present. The middle panel is a simplified silhouette of both characters facing one another, their profiles visible to the viewer. A large ellipses hovers above their heads. The final panel shows the Wanderer turning away from Alhaitham, tugging down his wide-brimmed hat from the front to cover his face. All that can be seen of his expression is a small smile and a bead of sweat. The Wanderer has a speech bubble, which says in lower case lettering: "ah. my mistake". Alhaitham is standing behind the Wanderer, his expression still mostly neutral as he watches the wanderer turn to leave, but he has lines below his eyes that show irritation. His arms are now crossed, and his left hand is holding a book open under the opposite arm.

The bonus image is a grayscale sketch of Lumine and Kaveh from Genshin Impact. To the left, Lumine looks frustrated, with her shoulders drawn up and her left hand pressed to her face while the other rests on her hip. The hand on her face is dragging the lower eyelid on her left eye down. Kaveh is slightly hunched over towards Lumine, and he is laughing so hard he's crying and spitting through pursed lips. He's holding his sides with opposite hands tightly, and looking towards Lumine.

ASL brother’s Hand-canons (with signatures)

This was fun, I’ve wanted to do this for a little bit now :)

While i was looking for references, I truly noticed how gangly Ace’s hands are. Its incredible how much he eats and none of that goes to any kind of body fat.

Also i kinda just bullshitted my way through Sabo’s since he wears gloves all the time. He does have pretty long and thin fingers even with gloves on though so my hand-canon wouldn’t be too far off.

I might be wrong but I figured you'd be the person to ask: Someone in a Discord server I'm in was talking about the "popular fanon idea of Cass learning ASL and sometimes preferring it to speech." And I... don't think this is fanon? Doesn't she canonically know ASL? I know she learned English and (I believe) Mandarin but I'm almost positive there are also lots of canon instances of her signing.

Okay so I'm going to split this ask into two questions:

Does Cass know American Sign Language (ASL), canonically?

Could Cass learn ASL?

The answer to #1 is no, Cass doesn't canonically know ASL to my knowledge (caveat: this does not, apparently, apply to the Young Justice cartoon universe; Cassandra Wu-San does appear to know some form of legitimate sign language). Canon!Cass, on the other hand, knows some basic signs and does use them, but it's more charades, 'loud gesturing,' and basic hand signals than it is ASL. The reasons Cass knowing ASL is such a popular fanon misperception are rather complex, but it largely comes down to two things: misunderstanding how ASL works and misunderstanding what Cass's disability actually is.

ASL isn't just some fancy hand gestures that translate one-to-one into spoken English; that would be "baby sign" or spell signing at best. ASL is a language, with all of the complex grammar, vocabulary, syntax, and sentence structure that implies. It takes years of learning and immersion to understand, learn, and utilize properly, just like any other language. Treating it as anything else is a form of ableism.

Someone like Cass who has difficulty processing language is going to have just as much trouble learning ASL as she would English, Mandarin, or any other language, because her problem isn't that she just "doesn't know English." Cass's disability is not that she can't read or communicate verbally: it's that her brain is literally built different because of how Cain raised her, and that affects how she processes language (and thus how she communicates with other people):

"David Cain…had some unusal ideas about combat. He experimented with infants. Trained them in isolation and deprived them of human speech. The goal was to adapt the language center of the brain to interpret physical movement as a language. She can…read you. Your body. That's why she understands what you're saying when she doesn't know the words. It's why in combat, she knows what you're going to do before you do it." -Batgirl (2000) #1

"The language centers of your brain are all over both hemispheres. Not centralized like with most people. When you try to read or write, your brain doesn't know how to keep it cohesive. But the good news is--you can learn. It's just a matter of figuring out how." -Batgirl #67

It's actually specified somewhere (I don't have the panel on hand, unfortunately) that she doesn't know sign language; Cain wanted her to read natural body language and nuance, not artificial hand gestures. Cass's primary "language" (and thus form of communication) until her brain was semi-rewired was body language.

But body language isn't actually a language; it's a form of non-verbal communication that functions through the (largely subconscious) 'reading' of both conscious and unconscious physical movement. Cass's childhood and training simply elevated that ability to ridiculous heights:

"A special ability to predict my opponent's moves. That doesn't begin to describe it. Time...ran together. The future...blending...into the moment. A blink of an eye...the knife thrust that follows...both one. It was like...like I could predict my opponent's moves. Okay, that does describe it. But it doesn't do it justice. All this knowledge. No substitute for knowing." -Batgirl (2000) #7

We see explicitly how this ability plays out on several occasions throughout her Batgirl run and the Detective Comics Rebirth run, and it's pretty clear she's reading subconscious feelings, thoughts, and movement, not language:

Cass absolutely communicates via hand gestures before and after Batgirl #4, but it's not any form of cohesive language, much less ASL. It's effectively advanced charades mixed with some universal non-verbal gestures:

"You don't speak any language, do you? Except violence." -Detective Comics (1937) #734

"Is he giving you any trouble?" *Cass flaps her hand to indicate the guy is a blabbermouth* "Got you. He talks too much." -Batman: Family (2002) #7

*Cass gestures to Jason's heart, Tim's mind, and Dick's voice to indicate she understands how they work as a team*-Batman and Robin Eternal (2015) #3

People learning a English as a second language already have an understanding of how language works, but Cass doesn’t have that foundation. Her primary language isn't sign language, it's body reading. Thus, she struggles to speak, read, and write in English not because it's a different language than she's used to communicating with but because it's the first actual language she's ever learned. Fanon largely projects ASL fluency onto Cass because they fundamentally don't understand how her abilities work (and thus don't understand how her disability works either).

Does Cass have the ability to learn ASL? Absolutely! Would ASL be a really cool way of depicting Cass communicating with other people and an interesting way to showcase language learning difficulties and communication disabilities in the visual medium that is comics? Absolutely! I would actually be genuinely thrilled if canon and the fandom actually worked with what a physical, visual-based language like ASL might mean for Cass's ability to communicate given her childhood training. But as it stands, "Cass knowing ASL" is a well-meaning but misguided fanon attempt to showcase inclusivity while being...well, frankly kind of offensive.

(As for why she would theoretically "know" Mandarin, it's a product of the incredibly racist and ableist writing that defined the "Evil Cass Era." This culminated in DC putting her on a bus and shipping her off to Hong Kong because "Asian girl knows Asian languages, right? Brilliant! Send her off!" while ignoring literally everything about Cass ever. She's never actually shown speaking Mandarin, Cantonese, or any other dialect of Chinese on-panel, but we can reasonably infer she probably picked up SOME level of comprehension while living there.)

I like the idea that Ace has always had a sort of affiliation or connection to fire well before he got his fruit. He’s seen all sides of fire and all the ways it can be harnessed. From a young age under the bandits care he would watch fire cook his foods. Then when it came to surviving on his own, a fire was probably one of the first things Garp taught Ace and was the first step to his premature independence. Then there were the bond fires shared with his brothers. Shadow puppets shows, bickering fights and laughter so big it made his stomach ache

The grey terminal fires that threatened his and his younger brothers lives. The fires he helped create that almost took the lives of hundreds, that left his and his mother figures skin scarred. The fire that claimed his brother’s boat and killed him just as he set out to sea. He had seen all sides to fire and what it was capable of.

So when Ace ate the flame flame fruit. There was an immediate understanding of the danger his flames held. His flames would not be the same as the ones that ravaged the terminal. His flames would be controlled and protective like the candle light Sabo used to read to Luffy. Like the flames of a bond fire providing warmth and safety. His flames would always protect those he wished to. The spade pirates. Whitebeard. Luffy. He would protect them like a bondfire

hc that both luffy and sabo are asexual but ace isnt and they constantly roast him for it

ace and luffy are the type of siblings to point at garbage trucks and say “hey that’s you!” to one another

ASL interpreter AU with Hard of Hearing Steve Harrington, who learned ASL over the years of multiple concussions, volunteering as a interpreter at small shows and bar concerts, eventually ending up at the same show as Corroded Coffin to interpret for them. He had even reached out for the set list ahead of time to prepare.

Eddie takes one look at this tall, handsome jock that he vaguely remembers from highschool as being a grade-A asshole, and highly doubts this will work. At worst, MAYBE Steve will even butcher their lyrics on purpose? He certainly doesn't remember Steve not being able to hear way back then?

But they go on anyway and Steve positions himself just to the side of the stage, Eddie keeps a suspicious eye on Steve throughout the show and is surprised to see him just throw himself into the lyrics, mouthing the words as he signs rapidly in time with Eddie's singing, he sways with the music and keeps a perfect rhythm.

It's mesmerizing and Eddie can't seem to stop his eyes from wandering to Steve now throughout the rest of the show, his eyes no longer glaring poorly hidden daggers but now scanning Steve from Tip to tail.

He swallows hard, as the last note from his guitar rings out and the drums crash with finality as they end the show. He thanks the audience, which are certainly higher in number now than they have over the years, and then gestures to the house, and finally to Steve, asking for appreciation for their volunteer.

Steve blushes where he stands and waves off the praise before walking over to the steps up the stage.

It's still a small show so now that they've finished, the regulars have gone back to their beers and the people who have actually come out to see them have gathered around their small merch table.

"Thanks for the shout out," Steve says with a smile as he moves his hands with the words.

Oh, oh, shit, Eddie thinks with a panic.

He's very hot from this close up...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Hambo looks What 3-5 now and there is still no mama. Are you telling me Simone still in the hospital sleeping!.

Or is she out but there are more shenanigans happening.

She isn’t sleeping, she ended up in a coma from complications during her c-section operation. Hambo got to see her when they were 5, when Marshal Lee and Gary felt it was the right time to introduce them to their mother.

At first they were confused, for the longest time they thought Gary was their mommy, but as soon as they put their bare hand in direct contact with Simone’s they felt a strange connection.
