If you need to be mean, be mean to me

I can take it and put it inside of me

If your hands need to break more than trinkets in your room

You can lean on my arm as you break my heart

POINTS. they are family thank u. <3

#lem art #📖 #🪈 (oc) #i have such strong familial affection for al.phinaud…… my 16y/o prodigy cousin who is taking on WAY TOO MANY RESPONSIBILITIES!..!!!!!!!!! #i thought his lines in the ghost ship area were endearing hehe. <3 #that one part where they were like ‘al.phinaud is probably attached to es.tinien because he’s like the older brother he never got to have….’ #i was like ohhHHHH RUDY WOULD ALSO BE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

[sangfielle]

its like i never moved out w this fucking man hes so fucking aggro over what he percieves as "his space" which encompasses both entrances/exits 2 the house + the kitchen + the living room + any hallway or room he happens 2 b occupying & it becomes a criminal fucking offense 2 even Look at any of these areas. fucking christ

#just like my older little brother. i hope they meet up and kill each other lemming style #personal #ylfw

[elizabro]

my vain hope for unsounded is by the end duane or really anyone has a long overdue epiphany that they shouldn’t have any allegiance to their country’s governing bodies. also that the military is fuckin evil 

#the political scheming and dramatic irony of this story stress me out so much. it's infuriating #in which everyone is morally dubious and has committed at least one thing irreedeemable #duane is a tragic dad figure but he's also an asshole #who says things like In my country lying harlots have their tongues cut with the same blades used to neuter dogs #I think he's at the cusp of learning. it was at the 'you have always been a fine judge of character' moment. #technically quigley is already at this point but he. yknow. he is how he is #we know in at least alderode's army rape is a commonly accepted practice. so there's that #and duane had his little band of charming child soldiers. fun stuff #I'm already fed up with lem and he just showed up. he can take his sad crying-in-his-brother's-arms flashbacks and shove it #I know a big central theme of this story is that everyone has their own motivations #and thinks that they're in the right when they are from the outside so clearly undeniably wrong #people will profess a moral code in one breath and slaughter innocents the next. so much prejudice so much brutality #hypocrites everybody #sorry I read all of it in a week #and I only understand maybe sixty percent of it #unsounded

[aspiringhorrorauthor]

Hate sound hate it hate it hate it

#There is NO NEED to be making sound all day everyday! #I’ve had to hide in the garden for some goddamn peace and quiet #It’s not even quiet out here it’s just better than the indoor options #Of dad playing lemmings or mum watching shitty videos or my brother wanting to watch the videos and kicking off because I can’t stand it #And his FUCKING gf sat in her room sending voice mails because texting is sooooo three years ago and laughing out loud every 3 minutes #I want quiet! I want people to be quiet! And my brother and his gf act like it’s a fucking crime to ask for that!

lemonade

opla!sanji x f!reader

next chapter

content warning: abandonment: death: blood: cursing: angst but flufff

a/n: idk I kinda rushed it towards the end

this is a prolouge

A nine-year-old girl smiled as she sat on her brother's ship, drinking some lemonade she made. "I can't believe you snuck onto my ship," Lem said, and she looked up at him and smiled mischievously.

"and stay on that island another minute nope." She said shaking her head, taking another sip of her lemonade. "Besides, I'm trying to steal your secret lemonade recipe." She smirked and he rolled his eyes and smiled, "As if I'll ever give that to you." He said, looking down at her.

"I shall be taking it to my grave," He said, and she looked at him in shock, " She furrowed her eyes looking at him. Until aloud explosion shook the ship, "Enemy pirates!" Someone shouted, and she quickly stood up but her brother stopped and telling her to find some place to hid.

Which didn't help much when they were boarded and were found and taken onto the other ship. A scream escaped her mouth as the pirate plunged the sword into her side, "NO!" Lem shouted fearfully, watching as his little sister doubled over and fell to the ground. He snarled, anger flowing through he couldn't bear the thought of losing any more family. He wasn't there for her when both their parents died, leaving her alone on the island. Being picked on and bullied for having a brother as a pirate, ostracized from everyone, and had no friends.

She wanted nothing more than to leave those painful memories behind and be with her older brother. But he never once let her it is too dangerous for a child, and with Marines being after him. He didn't want her to get hurt or even worse. So he left her there and she had no one to comfort her.

He clenched his fist quickly grabbed onto some rope, and swung over to the pirate ship. He fought with all his might clashing swords with the pirate captain, knocking back any of his crew who dared to come near him or his sister.

"You messed with my family, and now you die!" He shouted, swinging for the kill and gritting his teeth. Anger filled his eyes. He was covered in blood after he killed the entire pirate crew, and quickly rushed over towards his little sister.

He held her close to him he checked for a pulse, and she had one but it was faint. He had to get her back onto the ship quickly. The pirate medic rushed over and started treating the wound, "She's losing a lot of blood," He said, and Lem looked at his sister worriedly. Who was deathly pale and sweating profusely, her breathing labored and her hands clammy.

So Lem came to a decision and left her at the Baratie, it was the hardest decision of his life but if it meant her safety then so be it.

Despite the pain in her side, she walked towards the docks as tears brimmed her eyes. She watched her brother's pirate ship fade away in the distance. She shouted for them to come back to not leave her behind. Sanji came rushing out after her running to her side, "You bastard come back!" She shouted and noticed a tiny figure standing on the railing of the ship holding onto the rope.

It was Lem, watching sadly from the distance as he left his sister behind wanting to keep her away from harm. he knew the consequences of his action would possibly end in her hating him, and not wanting to see him again. And that was something he was willing to risk if it meant her safety.

She collapsed falling to her knees crying, blood seeping through the bandages. "Shit," Sanji cursed, but his gaze fell on the girl his age. Her older brother's cloak dropped around her shoulders clearly too big for her, and something she may or may not grow into. She sobbed into her hands as she was once again abandoned by the only family she had left, and now was alone once again. In an unfamiliar place.

"Fuck you Lem.." she whimpered into her hands while crying, "Fuck you!" She sobbed, looking up, and saw that the ship was no longer there and now she was alone. "H-He wants you to be safe." He said, and she looked over at him tears in her eyes.

"yeah, by leaving me here in a place I'm unfamiliar with." She said looking down at her hands, she was alone. She hated being alone, whenever he left it reminded her how alone in the world she truly is. How she has no one left, even though she knew that he would return. Now she knew with her being here that she would never see him again.

She groaned as she felt something poking at her in one of the pockets in the cloak. She reached inside and saw a tiny piece of paper. She sniffled, as she held the parchment in her hand crying. Sanji placed a hand on her shoulder.

'Lem's Secret Lemonade Recipe (the real one)

{Years Later}

[Y/n] and Sanji, became friends while working at the Baratie. But even then [Y/n] still wanted to see her brother again, and would ask any pirate that entered if they'd seen or heard of Lem. Some would tell her off while others would give her some details. She would pile that up and write it down, working on a way to see her brother again.

Eventually, she found someone who knew where he was and how long he'd be there at the age of thirteen. She left the Baratie to find her brother even if it meant she'd only see him for a little bit. Sanji missed her during that time dearly, he might've had a little crush on her. He would make her favorite lemonade drink almost all the time cause he missed her so much, ending up in a lemon shoratge on the Baratie.

two years later

Sanji was working as a waiter after being kicked off the kitchen line by Zeff once again. It had been two years since he last saw [Y/n], who had left to find her older brother.

He missed having her around and as he approached one of the booth tables, he greeted the customers by saying, "Welcome to our shitty restaurant." He then placed a plate of bread on their table.

"the only thing worse than the ambiance is the food." He mumbled not looking at the customer. "My name is Sanji what can I get for you?" He asked and waited for a response.

"I'll have a lemonade," a familiar voice said. He chuckled softly in response, keeping his eyes down. "Didn't expect to see you back so soon," He said, looking up revealing a now fifteen-year-old [Y/n] sitting in the booth in front of him.

Cover - Part III | Tangerine x Fem!Reader | 18+

warnings: smut mentioned, (minors dni), cursing, & violence

to catch up - Cover - parts one & two

———-

Tangerine's large hands wrapped around the diner's ceramic mug full of his muddled-grey tea. Warming himself while also trying to still his shakiness. He was having a tough time attempting to conceal his nerves. He avoided eye contact to retroactively stall the dreaded discussion.

“So,” you started, “Tangerine and Lemon. Fruits. Why choose from that category?”

Across from you, the man looked physically and mentally relieved that you hadn't leaped right into the hard questions. A smile wriggled under his mustache,

"When we were younger, Lem and I loved to watch American cinema. We would get inspired by a lot of ‘em. We played the games they did, tried out the sports, and picked up similar traditions.

One day, during a rare, hot English summer, I suggested starting a lemonade stand. My brother reacted with, ‘lemons are too tart! No one even likes sour drinks. I don't want to sell rotten lemons,' and I would remind him that you can turn a sour lemon into a sweet delight with a little bit of sugar. Shit, you should've seen his face when I ended up persuading him and he tried our first attempt at a batch. We got the measurements so wrong!”

His eyes shone as he spoke. He seemed to have been slowly opening up. Laughing into his hand and playing it off as a scratch to his face before dropping it to the table's surface. He was earnest as he told of his boyhood. Intriguing you with his storytelling, and leaning toward him as he continued on.

"Anyway. He would tell me that I'm like the sugar. That I make things better. But frankly, I can be a rotten arsehole to him. And by now, maybe he has forgotten about those silly childhood praises, but I never did. Those were the times, especially at the beginning of our career, when he made me feel wanted. He's good at that. He doesn't even require me to be the sugar in our brotherhood. He's naturally a genuinely good man.

I do need to tell myself I am useful, and deep down, I may not believe that to be all true. But he reminds me. He’s good at making people feel understood and cared for. He is true to his codename. He's a lemon, and everybody loves ‘em.”

Absentmindedly, you played with his finger twitching on the sticky table. He curled his hand properly around yours to hold.

———-

The hours passed and the diner went through waves of people. Coming and going, in and out, like clouds in unsettled coffee. Breakfast rush, stillness, then lunch chaos. To the both of you, the other was the focal point. Everything else just felt like a static buzz.

“I can't help but notice that you haven't asked the question. Basically the entire point of this morning."

"I didn't want to force it out," you finger at the sugar packets, like skimming a mini record collection. Attempting to downplay your interest. “I wanted us to get there without having to press it.”

A grateful hum of, “You are a peach," transitioned into a sigh, "but I suppose you deserve to know that I am a contracted assassin."

———-

It was only half past two in the afternoon when you both emerged from the diner. You made sure to avoid the eyes in the queue of the waiting patrons. The large tip, Tangerine thought he dropped into the checkbook unseen, should at least ease the hostess's agitation about your prolonged stay. You stand facing each other on the bustling city sidewalk.

The silence felt heavy after hours-long conversations. You studied each other. Your chance to fully take him in, in a different perspective, a new light. You were wary of how to leave this after the time you just spent together. The things he depicted. The part of himself that he had fanned out. He seemed to have bore it all. How do you grapple with that while having to part ways?

Tangerine didn’t keep you speculating. His handsome face sported a pleasant smile as he stepped forward to hug you. The embrace lasted only a moment, but it felt that he didn’t want to let go -

Like he was trying to hold you still. Keeping all those secrets that he poured out over the cooling cups of coffee between the two of you. Pressing them in close and sealing them behind tight lips. To him, when you walk out of his sight, you’ll take his story with you. The moment that he lets you go, the truth gets out. Exposed are all the mysteries on the inside and his safety. The scary reality is that he potentially jeopardized his and his brother’s lives to answer your curiosity.

Except, that was just your mind racing again. Tangerine's hug lasted for a minute and in a beat, he was pulling his shoulders back to look down at your face. And then he pulled you in for a kiss, the breath-stealing and tangling your hand in his hair, kind.

———-

The date with Tangerine was like an omen that you wouldn't be able to get the pair of assassins out of your life. Every day, something happened that would remind you of them. One of your little students would ask for a bandaid. You'd hear a song that played in the diner or a familiar theme song that Lemon definitely was humming. You’d find yourself grinning.

Little reminders would pop up here and there. Until one-half of the duo started turning up here and there when you’d least expect or anticipate it. It was a gradually natural formation of a budding friendship with Lemon and an eventual relationship between you and Tangerine.

Your romance with the latter was like any 2000s Rom. Com. daydream, except for the consistent reminders that you were dating a killer ——

Your boyfriend would show up unannounced with fresh flowers and a splat of blood on his neck peeking out from under his collar.

Written-out jokes from Lemon were handed over with a roll of his eyes but the ghost of a smile on his lips. Signaling that he has already heard the ridiculous gag that his brother came up with.

He’d be up early and missing in action during the day, but made up for it by staying late on date nights.

He always found time to call you between the sporadic periods of action while on the job. Just hoping to chat about your day so far or what he wanted to do to you later. Your mind runs with what exact situations he was calling in the middle of, whenever he was out of breath or your conversations were cut short with crashes and shouts.

You could sense when he exerted too much energy after those particularly long workdays. He tended to be quieter, or his body weight pressed impossibly closer on top of yours as his cock pushed in deep, or when Lemon would physically need to drag him into your apartment and throw him onto the couch.

Regardless of his fatigue, once you got each other going - either by massaging his sore neck, his rough thumbs grazing over your exposed thighs, or knee rubbing against his bulge as you bandage up a cut - He basically reverted back into stealth mode. Targeting his focus on only you. It felt like he existed to get you off. Wanting you to come on either his mouth, fingers, or pounding dick. He may have been exhausted but he wouldn't lose stamina until you were finished.

Nine times out of ten, whether after a hotel rendezvous or candle-lit dinner over a pack of instant potatoes and Kraft Mac and cheese, you’d find yourselves snuggled up in bed. You were always left stated after a good fuck from Tangerine. Hands, tongues, and whispers danced in the shared tranquility of your space. You were making special memories with the limited time you found with him.

———-

It went on like this for years. Each day felt like you peeled away another layer of a fruit's skin. Discovering a new trait or trick of your boyfriend's. You anticipated something exciting when he flung open the apartment door or your bedroom window. He never ceased to thrill and fulfill your every need.

And that one Tuesday in Spring was no different. He strode up to your car after class let out, seizing your waist from behind. A spin to your hips in his grasp had him close enough to breathe into your ear,

"Fly out to France with me, yeah?"

———-

This has been in the bathroom at work since I started yet somehow I only really noticed it today. I have been thinking about him all day (to the point where they are almost intrusive thoughts, like he's beaming himself into my brain) and then I saw this. I almost cried. I love you, brother. I love you so much and I'm so so sorry.

[quitealotofsodapop]

Hi! It's me again :3, I don't know (and remember) if anyone has asked this before but I would like to know:

How did OG!MK feel when he found out that SW is his father in another dimension (I feel like Mei would say something like "See? I told you he was your dad" or something)

If it happens before S4, I feel like Mk would be a little jealous of his other self seeing that he doesn't have the problem of not knowing who his biological parents.

(The idea occurred to me when I remembered a tiktok that said MK used any type of editing app to get an idea of ​​what his parents would look like 🥲)

omg if you have that tiktok I'd love a link XD

Think i did do a post like that ages ago, but only with an earlier draft of TMKATI and canon. Now I have like three more verses to torment MK with >:)

When the Canon verse and the other verses collide, the quickest thing the MKs would notice is their appearances.

OG!MK: "Whoa!! These me's are monkey demons!" TMKATI!MK: "And you guys are... human???" SlowBoiled!MK: "Yeah, why wouldn't him- I mean me be?" CenturyEgg!MK: "I don't know about you guys - but my parents are monkey demons. Then again my gūtā [dad's gender neutral older sibling] is human, I think???" JTTWEgg!MK: "My parents are monkey demons! The coolest monkey demons ever I may brag." TMKATI!MK: "Oh no way! My parents are monkey demons too! i have a bunch of adopted siblings though. Does your dad work with Bóbo[dad's older brother] Pigsy too?" CenturyEgg!MK: "No cus Uncle Pigsy and Tang lives in the city. We all live on Flower Fruit Mountain - but we visit as often as possible! Uncle Sandy ferries us across all the time." :3 OG!MK: "Wow!! You two live on the mountain!? What's it like?" JTTWEgg!MK, shrugging: "It's cool." CenturyEgg!MK: "Sometimes feel pressured by my role as Heir to the Stone Throne - but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I really don't like having to visit the Celestial Realm though. The nobles are kinda mean about my dad cus he caused a bunch of havoc a long time ago." The Other MKs: "wut" OG!MK: "Uh... Please explain who your parents are?" CenturyEgg!MK, confused by their confusion: "Sun Wukong the Monkey King, and Liu'er Mihou the Sage of Wind??? I thought you guys were too???" JTTWEgg!MK: "Yeah, mine are too. I thought you guys knew??" SlowBoiled!MK: "No- well kind- it's complicated! Ok!?" TMKATI!MK: "Not me. My parents are normal monkey demons, dude." OG!MK: "Oh my gods the Monkey King *is* our dad in another universe! Mei is never gonna let me forget this!" CenturyEgg!MK: "Well techinically he's my mom too so..." The Other MKs: "lol wat?" JTTWEgg!MK: "lol same."

The different MKs collaborate to tell stories about themselves (and get a solid PSA on Stone Eggs) while their respective Meis are snapping photos with eachother.

The different monkeys watch on nervously. The different monkey kings are sitting politely as their Macaques hiss at eachother from across the room.

OG!SWK: "So uh... did you tell him yet?" Other Monkeys: "Tell him what?" SlowBoiled!SWK: "About him being made by Nuwa, or the fact that we were forced to abandon him?" The CenturyEgg and TMKATI monkeys: "What." TMKATI!SWK, laughing nervously: "What? Oh gods no. I thought you guys meant telling him who we are!" The Other Monkeys: "Wut" CenturyEgg!SWK: "Your MK doesn't know that you guys are... Us?" TMKATI!LEM: "Nah, we've sorta been off-the-grid ever since genius here [thumb-points at his SWK] got me pregnant with our MK." The Stone Egg au SWKs: "Hah!" "Uno reverse card, plums!" Stone Egg LEMs: *all three have varying looks of horror, indignance, and bashfulness* SlowBoiled!LEM: "I said I was sorry!" OG!LEM: "Wait... what do you mean by sorry?" SlowBoiled!LEM, looking uncomfortable: "Cus of our uh... fight under the Mountain, and me not returning to feed him, I sorta caused Wukong's body to create a Stone Egg... and then I sorta died before I found out so..." JTTWEgg!LEM: "Ooof. Glad I learned early then." CenturyEgg!SWK, to his SlowBoiled counterpart: "Oh bummer, you got left with Stone Egg all the way back then? I started up the process willingly after I had to seal away DBK. When was the little guy born?" SlowBoiled!SWK: "Little lady actually. Yuebei was born about six months ago. Our MK was crafted by Nuwa - then again I did raise him the first year until I became too weak to care for him..." *looks sad* TMKATI and CenturyEgg monkeys: "Oh no..." :( "Stone eggs are super dangerous to the people around them. I don't blame you." JTTWEgg!SWK: "Odd. I got an Egg from the mountain too - but mine was born shortly after I completed the Journey. And mine was our MK. Did losing Mihou make the process longer??" OG Monkeys: "What?" "How many of you have MK as your kid!?" (*Cue them having to make a Venn Diagram of Whos' MK is What to Whom*) OG!SWK: "Ok so! Mine and the guy with the super-adorbs baby got our MKs dumped on us." SlowBoiled Monkeys: *proudly showing photos of their Yuebei* OG!LEM: "The me in sweatpants had him cus of a comet /slash/ stone egg soul mishap." TMKATI!LEM: "Oh, my Wukong was still responsible there. He sealed the Harbringer's soul inside me after using a sealing spell. TMKATI!SWK: "I panicked, ok!" OG!SWK, pointing at the remaining universes: "Annnd you two literally birthed him yourselves." CenturyEgg and JttwEgg SWKs: "Yup." "Stone shell and all." OG!SWK: "...is there anything else I'm missing?" The other universes: (*scratching their chins in thought*) SlowBoiled!LEM, slyly: "So are you guys back together yet, or what?" OG Monkeys: "What!?" "As if!"

Laughter just erupts around the room as the canon shadowpeach pairing realises that they're the odd ones out as *not* being together.

Complete and utter chaos reigns when the parent and MK groups reunite, and they recognise some sort of connection...
