hammock.

Pairing: OPLA!Vinsmoke Sanji x Reader Word Count: 866 words Warnings: Kissing, slightly suggestive

“You’re blushing.”

“I am?” Sanji gazes up at you, dreamy and distracted. “I didn’t realize.”

You hum. You’re only vaguely aware of the hammock’s sway, of the blanket slipping down your shoulders as you prop yourself up and place your hands on his cheeks. Warmth soaks into your palms like sunlight, and you tilt your head, thumbs drawing over the flush on his cheekbones and tapping gently.

“Don’t say this is because of me,” you tease.

His hands reach up to cover yours. “Then I’d be lying,” he replies, turning his head to kiss your fingertips, “and I would never lie about how you make me feel.”

“Not even if you hated me?”

“The day I hate you is the day I should be tied to an anchor and fed to the sharks.”

“That’s awful.”

“I know.” His eyes search your face, and they narrow as he murmurs, “Who could ever hate someone as gorgeous as you?”

(Whoever coined the phrase “flattery will get you nowhere” has never met Sanji, you’re sure of it.)

Leaning down, you press your lips to his nose, to his forehead, to each cheek. A contented sigh brushes past your ears as you do so.

Eventually, you make your way to the source of his sweet words. You pause, and Sanji opens his eyes as you hover above his lips, just shy of meeting them with your own.

“Something wrong, sweetheart?”

“No,” you say. “Just wanted to see your pretty eyes before I kiss you senseless.”

He stills. Then he laughs, the sound blooming from deep within his chest and staining your world with gold. “Well – aren’t you a charmer,” Sanji quips, stroking your waist and pecking your cheek. His words are softer than usual. “Careful with my heart, now.”

“Don’t worry,” you say, and you kiss him fully, drinking in the way his grip on you tightens and the way his breath stalls in his throat when you speak against his mouth. “It’s in good hands, I think.”

The kiss is just as warm as his cheeks. You feel drunk as you pull away, and Sanji lifts his head to chase your lips, whispering your name with the reverence of a believer.

“You guys mind doing that somewhere other than here?”

The two of you freeze in each other’s embrace.

You jolt out of it and push yourself up, accidentally knocking the breath out of Sanji in the process. He wheezes and curls up as you lock eyes with a very unimpressed swordsman.

“Z-Zoro! We”—you scramble to unrumple your shirt, which had ridden up underneath the blanket—“I’m sorry, we – we thought everyone was going to be in the lounge for a while.”

“You thought wrong.” Zoro strides past and drops his laundry on the couch. “This isn’t your personal bedroom, Sanji.”

“I’m aware of that,” Sanji replies, annoyance dripping from every syllable. “Now would you mind just stepping out for a few more minutes?”

“Sanji, it’s fine,” you whisper, patting his chest. “The mood is kinda killed now, anyway.”

He visibly droops. “I know.”

“Good.”

“I wasn’t asking for your opinion, mosshead.”

The room fills with a completely different kind of tension as Zoro crosses his arms at Sanji’s response.

You, still trying to cover up your embarrassment, move to block Sanji’s view, pushing his bangs away from his face and attempting to smooth out his frown lines. His cheeks are still flushed, though the color is quickly fading back to normal as his attention turns back to you.

“C’mon, Zoro wants to fold his laundry. Let’s go up to the lounge and see what the others are up to.”

“Is that what you really want to do?”

“Yeah.” (It is now, anyway.)

“… All right, then,” Sanji acquiesces.

With that, you push the blanket off and clamber out of the hammock, nearly tripping and falling flat on your face in your haste to do so. Sanji follows close behind, and once he’s on his feet, you turn to Zoro and give him another quick apology before you and Sanji leave the men’s room.

“Of all the times to be interrupted,” your companion mutters as the two of you head to the lounge. He takes your hand in his and interlaces your fingers. “I’m sorry about that.”

“It’s nobody’s fault. Ships don’t have a lot of privacy …” You think back to the moment Zoro spoke up and groan, burying your face in your free hand. “I’m just embarrassed he caught us like that. I didn’t even hear him come down.”

“Me neither.” Sanji lets out an irritated sigh and then looks over at you; his displeasure softens. “At the very least, I’ll take it to mean you were enjoying yourself.”

Your face heats up. “Of course,” you say quickly. “I like our alone time."

“I like it too.” He squeezes your hand and leans over to whisper into your ear. “Next time, I could be on top, so I can hide you away if anyone walks in unannounced.”

“Wh – Sanji! Don’t say it like that!”

The man grins as you smack his arm playfully, planting a kiss to your temple as penance.

“Just evening the score, sweetheart.”

that feeling when your new friend is turning into remnant's bloodthirstiest cryptid and no one else knows it, not even her.

#weiss schnee #nora valkyrie #pyrrha nikos #rwby #nordic winter #rwby fanart #rwby fic #pyrrha infodumping about flowers is one of my favorite little headcanon things at this point. #nora really is trying to listen #but weiss' continued obliviousness/denial is distressing. #i'm really happy with this piece #even though it delayed the chapter quite a bit. #i love their outfits and their expressions and especially love ru'ee's hot cross bunny logo :') #i think this is only the second time i've drawn pyrrha. #i'm always a bit thrown off by her height in comparision to nora #kina draws #snowstorm vampire au

The last few minutes of Space Rocks! is the best thing ever mostly because of Zach's portrayal of the Chancellor so I made a little compilation of my favorite bits.

#space rocks #play it by ear #dropout #zach reino #jess mckenna #ashley ward #the brain worms are back #audio might be a bit delayed bc my screen recorder sucks #zach truly killed it this ep #also just love zeke in the bckg of all of the clips #will eventually make a little compilation for each of the characters

“You don’t know?”

“Soon,” Dick promises, clutching Jason to his chest in a tight embrace.

Like this, with his owlet safe in his arms—- Dick doesn’t want to go. Doesn’t want to leave.

But Jason is safe with Bruce. Safe as Robin, soaring the skylines.

And Dick has friends who are like-but-unlike him who asked Nightwing for help, and—

“Not long,” Dick promises, because nothing will keep him away from his owlet longer than necessary, “Soon.”

ok he’s definitely a masochist but what about sadist?

with his guilt complex?

#i don't think so. but i think he has a little bit of a sadistic streak in him when it doesn't come to pain. #he's a very shaudenfreude sort of a guy. he likes to see wade suffer a little. but not from pain. from other things. #like bad puns. or delayed gratification. cute things like that. #i think he's really very gentle with his lovers and he likes to be. he'll be rough if they ask for it but it's not for him. #but the gentle loving is more torture for wade than the rough loving. so it all works out. and he suffers it so well. #alt peter is a sadist. yes sir.

Do you think if Izuku was a girl Bakudeku would have been seen cannon from day one? I mean Bakugo seems to also have all the tropes of a female romantic love interest in Shonen and the reason why many don't think Bakugo's feelings towards Deku are of a romantic nature is because Deku is a boy. Here's to Bakudeku becoming cannon <3

If the story managed to miraculously stay the exact same story with the only difference being Katsuki is a girl (coz let’s face it, he was the princess being abducted by LOV and held so protectively by Izuku in the Vol 37 cover), then yes. Everyone would be bkdk and all other ships would seem delusional, the way Izuochas/other fans think we are. It’s just ‘cause it’s happening between two guys that people stop caring about the moments that develop or hint at their romance. And this is something Hori wants to change.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed this but Hori represents BkDk in a super wholesome way without many traces of sexual desire. Because he wanted shounen readers to see their love as something real and beautiful, and not being made just for the sake of BL or fetish.

Though tbf, he has occasionally depicted Kacchan as ikemen, maybe to help us imagine Izuku’s struggle to hold back his feelings for him.

Kacchan is gorgeous, and yet his combative personality has scared away girls his whole life. And here we have Izuku always having accepted him for who he is and never distancing himself from him despite the many attempts by Kacchan to reject and send him away!

But anyway, Hori focussed so heavily on the emotions they feel towards each other because he wants readers to look at pure romantic love between a boy and another boy and understand it has no difference whatsoever with the love between a girl and a boy.

This also might be another reason why baby Decchan memories come up sometimes with Kacchan’s POV, or why Noguchi drew so many pictures of their childhood.

Because Katsuki and Izuku seem to be each other’s first love, and while feelings grew rotten for a while, the deep love they have for each other now comes from an incredibly sweet and pure origin.

How Hori is gonna pull this off really has my interest now because he has written bkdk so beautifully up until this point, so I have high expectations for his future plans to bring them together.

Update: I just wanted to add that my heart is so full right now from the KiriMina/BkDk parallels in ch.383. Canon BkDk really is coming right at us and it feels like Hori is going to bombard doubters with reminders of their love until they practically beg Hori to end their misery, and just draw what he has been waiting to draw for so many years, lol. 😊

#cheers anon 🥂 #bkdk canon #bakudeku #asks #when people ask this I think about how their entire dynamic changes just from one being a girl #for example… outside of bestie mamas play dates.. they wouldn’t have played too much together as little kids #so events like the river incident don’t happen #but I’m sure… in every AU… these two find their way too each other 💕 #coz theyre soul mates in every AU #i had this in drafts for a bit so im sorry for my delay anon! the leaks were really wild too lol #kana writes

I wonder if anyone in the adult wing (3rd floor/grandfathers group) or great grandfather himself is related to Kate in some way. or was previously affiliated with the mirror mansion. if the morphs took over people's bodies and assuming they don't die of old age, kate wasn't born during the takeover so she wouldn't even recognize them by their appearance or voices. Idk how plausible that is but it would be interesting if it was revealed that someone with such control over the other shadows was once someone from the mirror mansion. I'm just wondering how many adult shadows are actually still in the mansion from the initial takeover

#shine speaks #but im a little slow LMAO so im typing tjis out to make myself understand #but maybe you're like shine this is so obvious already #yeah sorry i got a little bit of a comprehension delay HDKDJSKS 😔 #shadows house #shadows house spoilers

Assignments Update!

Hey Doodlers! Exciting news- we're nearly finished with assignments!

After a lot of hard work on our end and patience from you, we're finally nearing the end of assignments. Which is so exciting!! We'll 100% be finished by the end of the day today, and will be sending them out tomorrow, January 5th, since it's getting pretty late for us and we want to be alert to make sure sending goes smoothly.

Thank you all for your kindness in dealing with the delays, we deeply appreciate it. We'll post when assignments start sending, and then post again when they're all sent out. We hope you're all as stoked as we are- go Doodlers!

#updates #info #important #i know we keep saying it over and over but we really and truly are excited for this to start. we know it's taking a bit longer #but hope that it turns out to be worth it to you all!! #(sammy here) my exhibit is bleeding a little more into things than i thought it would and it's 100% on me for not making more wiggle room #but at the same time there's not much that could have been done anyway. so yeah! #the current biggest problem is people maybe getting anxious over having less time and this event becoming stressful for them. which #is the last thing we want because this event is ALWAYS meant to be just. fun. #so we'll probably be making a poll soon asking if people would like us to push back our gifting week dates and by how much #so yeah! just to keep you all in the loop. i know not everyone reads tags but i figure a small heads up is probably nice #since i don't have the time to make a big post rn. basically things are coming and i swear we're doing all we can for this event #even if there have been delays. we're still very passionate. thank you and bye bye

things that were not on my 2024 bingo: 4.5 page startlingly earnest comic about canon x oc but it's with coo the owl....?? i thought it would be a little comedic if this was ~The Romantic One~ but i might have committed to the bit too hard, and now it's sincere.

@veveisveryuncool i hope you like... meant this shipaganza prompt!!!

#it's also a little................. sad. even. literally pining. how did i end up here???? #“oh a thing will be funny! i'm going to do A Thing ironically!” when will i LEARN. #hopefully this also explains why there's been a bit of a delay in updates. this one is longer and more complex than the others have been! #delete later #also like... i'm fairly confident the comic will make you Feel Something about this. shockingly.
