________________________

Your wrist is sprained. It’s not your hand you use to wield your cutlass, thankfully, but the pain is hard on you, you’re ashamed at your inability to deal with pain, in comparison to your crewmates who sacrifice so much. You can’t climb sheer cliffs or take swords to the chest. Your body is weak, you fear, you don’t think you could handle taking on a crewmate’s pain, although you like to think you would try, because you’d risk your life for them. Right now you can barely handle a sprained wrist, made worse by the humiliation of a capture by the Black Dove Pirates, when your loving boyfriend had to battle to save you.

The Black Doves are led by, well, Black Dove, a horrific man with a mysterious zoan-type devil fruit giving him the abilities of a kraken, massive, lethal tentacles capable of sinking ships. Restraining himself from a passionate fight, Luffy’s top priority was getting you to safety, you and your sprained wrist, you had tried to fight, after all.

But now the Black Doves have declared war, leaving you and the crew terrified of an unmatched battle with the notorious pirates and their mythical captain. But Luffy had a friend to call, a powerful friend, someone he told you was someone you could count on, that you had nothing to worry about now.

Boa Hancock.

You knew of her, of course, and you were thankful for the surprising alliance, until you remembered what Luffy had said, when he said it far too casually, that Hancock wanted to marry him.

You’re overcome with anxiety at not only the imminent battle with the Black Doves, but at the thought that you were in danger from all sides, the wrath Hancock would bring down on you if she ever found out you and Luffy were together.

In the heat of battle Luffy has often held your hand and given you angry kisses when he can. It’s a comfort for him, it gives him strength and motivation, it reassures him that you’re safe in his arms. He calls you pet names and hugs you and always makes sure he knows where you are, making sure you’re ok. But he can’t this time. You plead and beg him not to even though he doesn’t seem to understand why, really. He’s disappointed, but you assure him that before and afterward you’d get a special night together to make up for the stolen closeness.

_______________________

The rest of the crew are set to battle the titanic kraken guarding the gates of Dove’s hellish mountain island domain. A sneak attack is your only option but they didn’t make this easy. It would be you and Hancock against the top men of the crew, and Luffy would battle Dove. You aren’t confident in your abilities, you wonder why you’re here alongside two of the most powerful people of the seas, but Luffy wants you close, maybe. And he thinks this fight will be no problem, even though you tell him you have a sprained wrist and you’ll just drag everyone down.

And as soon as she sees you, the instant your eyes meet, Hancock despises you. Her gaze is deadly and cold, and even though you try to put distance between you and Luffy your very existence triggers pangs of jealousy within the empress.

Luffy, although largely oblivious to why, can sense the tension and he hates it. He wants you all to be friends, be a team. When you and Hancock stand in silence, staring at each other on the rocky shore, he complains, “c’mon! Lessgo!” with anxiety in his voice. And he holds both of your hands and pulls you two along behind him, making you and Hancock both blush, Hancock is transported to another more comforting world in that moment but you are so wracked with nerves that every sense around you becomes overwhelming and far too much.

You look at Luffy with begging eyes when he squeezes your hand and not Hancock’s, although she doesn’t seem to notice.

The three of you run up the jagged black-stone path into a bombed-out looking castle, you gingerly survey the landscape as crew members lay drunk on whiskey, passed out and unbothered by lightning flickering overhead. You came at the perfect time.

Before running off to find Dove, Luffy is about to lean in for a kiss when you dodge and shoot him a look. Which immediately makes you sad, because Luffy looks upset when he turns his back and heads off into a brutal fight that awaits him. It’s your biggest fear that you’ll lose him, made worse by imagining your last interaction as one of sadness, but you feel Hancock’s malicious eyes on you and there’s nothing you can do.

You hear a shout, suddenly, echoing through the ruins. A crew member has heard you, an axe wielding menace with glassy white eyes. Hancock whips her head around and immediately tries to turn him to stone, but the man is blind, you both realize. It’s no use.

“I’ll take him, just go!” you shout at her, the first real words you’ve said. And Hancock glowers at you and focuses her attention elsewhere, because the crew has been alerted. And Dove has risen, you see, coming face-to-face with Luffy and towering above him at what seems like at least twelve feet. Black tentacles begin forming from his massive, muscular frame and an evil smirk spreads across his face.

Your heart leaps into your throat for Luffy’s safety but you have other things to worry about. The axe wielding monster swings at you and you manage to dodge, drawing your cutlass. It’s a harsh and desperate battle, your movements still clouded by worry which makes the throbbing in your wrist worse, but it’s when you lead the sightless beast to a precipice that you trick him and let him fall to his death on the rocks far below. You’ve slayed your first Black Dove pirate, but there’s many more and you need to dive head first into war.

You’re amazed by Hancock, really. At a snap of her hands half an army turns to stone. Her control of haki is like nothing you’ve seen before, her sharp, quick intelligence adjusting at a moment’s notice to other forms of attack. She does all of this in heels, in a graceful dress, beautiful raven hair flying in the wind as she fights with all her heart. You find yourself envying her, her jealousy over you nearly matched by your own.

But she still kicks crew members out of her way and towards you with no real regard for your safety. She still hates you, just for being a woman on Luffy’s crew. Even though you’d done nothing wrong.

Despite Luffy’s best efforts, he’s smashed into the sharp stone by a tentacle and struggles to stand again, groaning and coughing. Dove sees his crew in danger and wants to make quick work of the two women disturbing the peace on his island.

There is too much evil in his heart for Hancock to turn him to stone. And his tentacles are too fast for her, she’s cornered, now, on a cliff and Dove is going to knock her into the ocean. At the speed of light the inky tentacles come, taking advantage of Hancock’s momentary stillness in her sinking terror and desperation, and how she sees Luffy on the ground and screams in worry and is distracted for a precious instant. But before she’s sent falling to her death, she’s knocked from the side, slammed onto the ground and tumbling, held in your arms, down an incline and into the remnants of a turret. Dove can’t reach you from here, giving Luffy enough time to resume his fight.

You had grabbed Hancock and pushed her desperately to safety, you had saved her, and now you both lie there in the dark on the dirty stone floor, all bruises and ripped clothes.

Your head rests on her chest, neither of you have caught your breath enough to get up. And from here you can hear her heart pounding furiously in your ear, she’s scared and curled in on herself.

You roll off of her, slowly sitting up, looking over at her as she rests sprawled on the ground.

She feels your eyes on her and sits up, face contorted with warring emotions. Her lips are set in a firm scowl. She’s staring at you but you see past the malice and now she looks like a scared animal desperate to survive.

“Are you ok?” you say gently, reaching for her hand.

She yanks it away from yours and scoots back against the wall. “Yes! I’m fine…” she hisses defensively.

But she’s clutching her wrist. And she may have just hurriedly wiped tears out of her eyes.

Before you can say anything else, she leaps up and runs to a window, scanning the battlefield for Luffy. Her hands grip the cold brick. She’s shaking slightly.

“Are you worried about him?” you ask quietly, standing up and walking towards her slowly.

“Where is he?” Her voice is quiet now. Images of Luffy’s battered body flash in her mind and you can see the same sickness within her that you feel, a worry over someone you love so deeply. The jealousy and fear of her leaves your mind and is replaced by one thought alone.

Poor girl.

“He’s going to be ok, I promise.” You place a hand on her shoulder making her flinch, but she doesn’t pull away this time.

She doesn’t say anything. But she’s still scared.

So you say, “hey, princess, I’m scared too. But… all we can do is hope and keep ourselves safe now, right? We did what we could. We brought down an army for him.”

She pauses again, head down. Until she murmurs, “…Hancock.” Another pause. “You can call me Hancock.”

You smile. You sit again and she follows your lead. “You really love him, huh?”

“…Yes. Of course I do.” A tiny tear forms in her eye again, even though her voice is still hard and cold. “…Sometimes I don’t understand how anyone can’t be.”

So you think very carefully for a moment, before telling her, “I understand. He’s the kindest person I’ve ever met, he’s…”

“He’s perfect.”

“Yeah, that.”

And even though jealousy still blooms in her icy heart, Hancock feels herself soften. She doesn’t feel like sustaining her mirage anymore right now. The fear and the tears and the confusing comradery chipping away at her evil façade and now she’s just so, so tired all of a sudden. “[Name,] right?” she says under her breath.

“Yeah.”

“You really think he’ll be ok?”

“He always is.” And without Zoro or Nami there to reprimand you about trust, you take up the role instead, squeezing Hancock’s shoulder and saying, “have faith in him. Worrying’s not gonna help any of us right now.”

She nods, tightening her lips. And then, all of a sudden, she bursts into tears and hugs her knees to her chest, hair falling over her face.

“Hey, Hancock!” You slide closer to her. “Please don’t cry, he’s going to be safe…”

“No!” she hisses, gritting her teeth, “I… I don’t know where Salome is. I want Salome. Everything’s falling apart!”

“…Salome?”

“My snake!” she cries, sniffing and wiping her nose.

“Don’t worry about that either, ok? I’m sure she’s alright, it’s all gonna be over soon… just don’t cry…”

And now here’s something you weren’t prepared for, Hancock leans her head against your shoulder. Her sobbing quiets. She grows still. You smile, tucking her hair behind her ear.

“It’s gonna be ok,” you whisper again, “hey, can I see your wrist?”

And she places her hand in yours. You lift her pale, slender wrist and notice swelling just beneath the palm. You recognize this, you know it well.

You start to laugh, and her stare grows a little icy again. “What?” she snaps.

“You sprained your wrist. Here, look…” You raise yours next to hers. Your swelling parallels each other, you’re even more alike, now. You’re matching.

“We’re matching. I sprained mine too.”

She smiles. This is the first time you’ve made her smile. She even laughs a little, very lightly, her heart feels like it’s being squeezed, but by a warm hand, not by a cold claw.

You sit with her, and talk sometimes, until you hear Luffy calling your names. Hancock stands up and dashes out of the turret, running to find him, and he stands proudly although his body is weakened. Dove has fallen. You’re all ok. Hancock hugs Luffy and then hugs Salome, who is curled beside him. She looks happy, which makes you happy, too.

And then Luffy pulls you into a hug. You don’t care anymore, you just want to hug him, and Hancock got a hug so you get one too. You squeeze Luffy so tightly and you don’t want to let go, his warmth and scent soothing your body, his strong arms wrapped around you and his hands rubbing your back. You’re very nervous he’s going to try to kiss you but he doesn’t, like he promised, he knows he’ll have time for all of that later.

The kraken is gone and everyone is waiting for you at the bay. Hancock is tearful when she has to part with Luffy and, strangely, she is for you too.

“Come to me whenever you need! I’ll always be there for you!” she promises Luffy, her voice going up an octave when she talks to him. And then, before she leaves for her ship, she turns to you. “[Name…] I hope we’ll meet again.” Her smile is gentle, but very real.

“Me too!” You call out to her, following Luffy away, back to the Sunny, amazed at the events of the day, full of happiness and relief and still a slight stinging from your wrist but love can heal almost anything, at least a little bit.

And maybe deep in her heart, Hancock knows. The way you and Luffy look at each other, your soft voices, the way he walks close to you and how it seems like he’s always ready to lean in for a hug. It pulls at the back of her mind. A sting of pain. But she’s good at pushing these things away.

She’s just so happy that she made a friend today.

So I wrote a bit about the film making of The Sign already but I wanted to dive a bit more into the VFX aspects b/c the show is - justifiably imo - getting a lot of praise for their work.

So I'm going to quote this video by VFX artists that I think sums up why, overall, the CGI works in The Sign:

"It's very interesting with a smaller budget Jurassic Park was crunched into choosing their VFX shots very very wisely and they didn't hold shots for longer than they needed to."

(I recommend watching the entire video, there's a lot of great discussion and education on how VFX is done in film. They're not simply "reacting" but talking about the techniques used in the film making itself.)

This is partly what The Sign is doing really well, they're not lingering on any shots, they're using their budget well by picking the most impactful moments to include more expensive and complicated CG effects.

What I love about smaller or mid-budget films is you can tell when the crew had to get truly inventive, creative, and purposeful when choosing how to portray a specific effect or action in a scene. Jaws is one of my favorite examples of this; Jaws cost 9 million (about 51 million adjusted to inflation) in 1975, and the shark animatronics (there were 3 pieces) was difficult to work with. This led to Spielberg and the crew switching things up and going for that shark POV that's now really famous.

It wasn't an accident, but it wasn't 100% planned or originally intentional, there was an issue, and the crew reworked things within their budget so they could still accomplish their creative goals.

The iconic first scene of the t-rex in Jurassic Park is a combination of an animatronic and CGI. In the video above they talk specifically about how this was filmed, and how setting the scene at night, with a singular main light source, and covered in water, really helped make the t-rex look "real". And why that scene holds up really well even today.

The Sign has used moments of CGI very sparingly which works within the story yes by building up tension within the narrative mystery, but also in the film making. They're not overwhelming the audience with it, whilst also using real sets and props to blend in with those scenes AND using a lot of the CGI in specific spaces.

The scene in ep01 where Phaya meets the Naga for the first time is a good example; the water is dark, there's only a singular light source (above) and there's a general lack of background. With only one light source, the VFX artists don't have to worry about shading every inch of the Naga to photorealistic standards, the image doesn't have to be insanely sharp b/c the water adds a layer of blur to everything, and since it's already a mystical creature the audience already has a higher suspension of disbelief anyway making us more forgiving to the fact this is not a "real" creature.

Compare this mythical creature with the dragons from Game of Thrones:

I want to first say I do think the special effects of GOT were really good, the VFX team's work is to be appreciated. But see how there's more light sources required for these dragons? They're just not just within a limited area, they're outdoors in the open which requires more math (literally) on where the light will bounce and reflect, plus all the disparities in texture on the dragons themselves. See how parts of their wings are more noticeably red then others?

Game of Thrones was a show with millions upon millions in it's budget, so they can indulge, The Sign doesn't, so they have to be smart. And they are!

Another standout scene so far in the series as far as filmmaking goes for me is from episode05.

If you look closely you can see the edges around Phaya are a bit blurred out and rewatching the scene you can see an image of him is almost transposed over the actor as well. It gives it a pseudo 3D effect, which helps blend the actor into the fake background which makes it less obvious it's, well, fake.

Then there's the Big Moment, the reveal of our Garuda:

I'm partially not convinced this was 100% CGI I'm wondering if they used a bit of claymation or maybe a miniature or something (maybe a puppet?). The weight of the movement and body feel like something more close to the use of a puppet or animatronic than straight CGI. (If you want to read more about miniatures in film I recommend this article on Godzilla 1954!)

But what I find smart about this shot is that the focus of the camera is on the Garuda, Phaya is much smaller and lower in the frame. I say this is smart because being distance from Phaya allows for the Garuda and the background to take up more space in the frame and contrast less with the real elements, ie Phaya's real human body. It also makes the Garuda more imposing, dominating the frame at a higher angle, and gives a sense of largeness in comparison to Phaya's smaller human self.

Since the Garuda is against an already fake background there is no need for a "light source". Notice how the Garuda has no shadows or light reflections, unlike the Naga from before (or the t-rex)? This makes less work for the VFX team b/c now they don't have to math out where all the bits of shadow, light, and color textures would come from, everything is flat and singular.

Keeping the Garuda at a distance as well, means we're not looking at or for the details of their feathers, or body. We see there is texture to them, but it doesn't need to look photorealistic b/c of that distance in the frame.

Contrast it with Simba from Lion King 2019, or Detective Pikachu:

Again, I think both look very good, but they need to because the audience is so close to the characters in frame. If Pikachu or Simba didn't have this level of care and detail put in when the audience is literally right in their faces everyone would notice how fake they look and complain (I mean I still complained about Lion King but b/c it was a bad and visually boring film but the VFX team did a great job).

We know this because Ant Man Quantumania didn't put the same care and effect in and it looked horrible. Everyone clowned Modak, and fair, but it wasn't just him that looked bad. Entire set pieces look clearly fake, like why is Ant Man suddenly in Zanarkand??

In the second image, look at Scott and Cassie's clothes, you can see the light on their clothes (especially Cassie's) isn't the same as what's happening in their surrounding environment (which is a lot jfc). It's also just poor film making because the frame of both shots is cluttered to the god damn BRIM with STUFF our eyes aren't sure what to focus on. There's a lack of perspective and weight given to the scenes (compare these wide shots to Jurassic Park when our protagonists see the dinosaurs in an open field for the first time, there's a sense of WONDER). So our human characters get completely lost in the frame and feel overwhelmed entirely. They also stick out because the CGI isn't fully well rendered.

Possibly my biggest chaotic take to date, I prefer the CGI in The Sign to Ant Man 3 there I fucking said it. Ugliest MCU movie to date I said what I said.

There is at least care going into The Sign, there's thought, there's creativity, there's a sense of passion. I can forgive that the Garuda isn't photorealistic because it doesn't need to be, it needs to be visibly believable within the world it's set in and it does. The show has been very smart about when to employ it's special effects, and how to film them. It's taken care. It has more in common with films like Godzilla Minus One which had a budget of 15 million and looks phenomenal, way better than Godzilla vs Kong or what we've seen from Godzilla x Kong (which I am looking forward to b/c I'm godzilla trash).

anyway watch the sign it's gucci

Dragon Island - dragon Luffy

You wanted to find the mythical dragon island, where the wreck of a ship carrying treasure seized from pirates was supposed to be located, and which was wrecked on an island inhabited by a dragon.

You had no idea what the truth was, but you knew that you would find the treasure and defeat the dragon. That was your dream and what made you go to sea.

After many failed attempts, you finally managed to find dragon island. On the way to it, a giant storm appeared and your ship sank.

The sea washed you ashore and you were at all grateful to have survived. You couldn't say that about your crew, though, because even though you were looking for them, they weren't to be found. 

After a few days when you set up camp on the edge of the jungle not far from where the sea washed you off and where you unsuccessfully looked after your crew, you decided to explore the island itself.

As you explored the island, you got the impression that it was deserted. You slowly made your way to the rocks and after almost a whole day you reached the other half of the island.

On the way, you came across a source of drinking water and ate your dinner. You set up camp in a small cave on the other side of the island, which was an excellent view.

You were roasting meat and watching the sunset when you realized you weren't alone. You had the impression that something was following you and your assumption was only confirmed by growls coming from the bowels of the cave. A sound that begins in the throat of the beast and ends with the teeth in the throat of its victim. You had your hand on your sword, which was still a bit sharp. However, no danger appeared during the whole night.

The next day, you decided to explore the cave more closely and find out what predator was hiding in it. The cave led you to an open bay where a shipwreck stood on the rocks. You had the impression that you had finally found what you were looking for.

You walked around the ship and on the other side you came across a surprise. On the ground lay a long dragon with red scales in such a strange position that you hesitated if he was at all alive. 

He was lying almost on his head, his torso was leaning against the hull of the ship and his legs falling behind his head. The dragon didn't move at all, and it wasn't even visible that it was breathing.

You carefully walked around him and entered through the hole in the ship's hull. Inside was an amount of gold and gems that you never imagined.

You left the treasure there for the time being, as it was of no use to you so far. Maybe when you manage to find or make a ship you'll come back for it, but now you've decided to go back to camp. 

You walked past the place where the dragon was originally and you were taken aback when you found that there was no sign of it. You looked around and your hand landed on your sword. The whole way you were worried about bumping into him somewhere.

The day flew by without any surprises. You made a new camp in a completely different cave, which was much smaller and led nowhere. You managed to catch a bigger animal and roasted part of it on the fire. You left the rest deeper in the cave, where it was colder.

You sat facing out of the cave and looked for a potential threat. Your cave was on higher ground, but it was still an open area.

You were slowly falling asleep when you heard something outside. You immediately reached for your sword. However, before you could properly react, a long, squat creature came from outside like a bolt from the blue, jumped up at you and pinned you to the ground. The sword fell from your hand. 

The red dragon bent over you, snarling, drool dripping down your face from its mouth. He was so close that you even noticed the small scar that ran under his left eye. The dragon leaned closer to you and growled. You watched the dragon and awaited your end.

Instead, the dragon snorted and raised its head. He stopped growling and licked himself hungrily. He jumped off of you and took the meat from the fire and bit into it. He immediately released it again and stuck out his tongue.

"Hot! hot!" he complained looking at you.

"You can talk?" you wondered more to yourself.

"Why shouldn't I?" he didn't understand and tilted his head to the side.

"I don't know. I've never talked to a dragon," you replied, meaning you hadn't even met one yet. The dragon reached closer to you as if to examine you. You automatically reached back if he wanted to attack you again.

"I can change into a human too," he said casually.

"What?" you couldn't believe it when before your eyes the dragon shrunk and changed into a young man with black hair, a warm smile and dragon features.

"Is it better this way?" he asked sitting across from you. You nodded your head in agreement.

After this change, he asked you about the meat, if he can eat it. You agreed. However, you didn't expect that he would suddenly shove it in my mouth and leave with a bare bone. In addition, his stomach rumbled and he asked if you had any more. And so you made the rest of the meat you had hidden in the cave.

Since then, the dragon who was named Luffy accompanied you almost on every step of the way and it was clear that you were never bored in his presence.

Seokjin is a dignified man, but never in his life had he felt so depraved watching you smile and work like it was his profession, unable to reach through the screen and make you his. Unable to tell you how much he loves to watch you because you have no idea you’re live stream even exists. He can’t tell you how hypnotizing you are without the glaring controversy of him watching your hacked-into webcam, both as a human and director in the computer science division of the company he is a board member of. Nevertheless, you were his very guilty utmost pleasure. 

Jungkook:

Okay but consider tough… Vampire au Sanuso where Sanji mistakes a bat for Usopp until Usopp comes into the door and Sanji feels extremly stupid. But he keeps the bat around as a little pet anyways and it seems to absolutely HATE Usopp. Like, full on trying to attack him all the time. Sanji promises a pouting Usopp that it’s just overprotective, it’s Apperantly wounded and he was the first one to find it. Usopp just glares at the thing and says something along the lines of „We should throw that disgusting vermin off the ship right now.“

Sanjis expression must have been one of pure terror, because as soon as Usopp sees it he backpedals, says he had a long day and he’s tired and hungry, of course Sanji can keep it if he wants to, he should probably head to sleep anyways. See you tomorrow. And Sanji guesses he really must have been tired, that cold and cruel expression on his face was very unlike the crewmate he has grown so fond of…

In hindsight he supposes this should have been his first clue that something was terribly wrong.

In the Next two weeks the crew starts feeling fainter and fainter and more sickly. Chopper expects it to be some sort of Virus going around but he can’t find any diseases that match the symptoms. Everyone is on edge but Sanji keeps noticing that Usopp… doesn’t act like himself anymore. He rarely joins them at the dinner table and he seems to even forget to take his usual blood dose from Choppers stack unless their doctor explicitly reminds him to. He seems colder to everyone as well. Unhelpful. Meanspirited. Nami worries about Zoro being sick and he basically tells her to stop worrying so much because it’s annoying. Robin mentions reading something in a book about other mythical creatures in the area and he disregards her completly. Her book mysteriously vanishes the next day. Luffy gets so sick he’s out of comissiob for a few days and his reaction is basically non existent. Franky pulls Sanji aside nervously to confess he saw something strange at night and went to tell Usopp, since it hung around his workshop and Usopp didn’t really react at all „Don’t worry about it.“ he said, not even looking up. „Your mind is probably playing tricks on you.“ and Sanji slowly begins to realize that his new pet seems to only hate Usopp this much. That it seems downright protective of all the other strawhats. That it’s a very smart animal, but even smart animals usually don’t look at you like this and you feel like they understand every single word you say. And Sanji realizes that something , SOMETHING is terribly wrong with what he thought of as Usopps until a few days ago.

Tldr: Shapeshifting and probably soulsucking creature wounds Usopp so much he has to stay in bat form (or maybe he gets cursed?) and Batsopp has been desperately trying to warn his crew that someone has taken his place and is planning to drain their life’s out one by one… and also is now realizing that „HOLY COW SANJI LIKES ME TOO? WISH I FOUND THAT OUT UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES BUT WOW?!!“

ANON THIS IS PURE GOLD OH MY GOD??

The fact that he hears Sanji confess his feelings while he's just hanging out in the galley, probably trying to think up a plan to get Sanji to understand him, is so fucking funny.

Usopp, thinking: Okay, maybe I can grab some paper and write out a message-

Sanji, cooking behind him: You know it's a shame you don't like Usopp; he's a wonderful guy.

Usopp, squeaking to himself: Yeah, I am, but that thing's not me!

Sanji, laughing: Oh don't be like that, he really is great. There's a reason I fell in love with him after all.

Usopp:

Usopp, in much higher pitched squeaking: you fell in WHAT

#ask #answered #vampire usopp #sanuso #one piece #holy fuck i dig this so hard #also KJDHFGD THE FACT THAT HE HEARS SANJI'S CONFESSION OUT OF LEFT FIELD LIKE THAT WHILE TRYING TO PROTECT THEM IS SO GOOD I CANT UNDERSTAT #Usopp: oh god ohhhh my god i have to stay focused i have to get this Thing off the ship but also tehee Sanji likes me~ *blushes* #god dude this is so so good #side note: I also can't get an alternate version of this idea out of my head where Usopp thinks Sanji fell in love with the Creature #Usopp hearing Sanji wax poetic about how much he loves him: FUCK what does that creepy weird Thing have that i dont??? :( #aaaaa this was a great ask anon TYSM for sending it!

Fuck Being A Pirate, I Just Want To Live

➥ summary: He just wanted to live, was that too much to ask for?

➥ A/n: this is a x male reader story but anyone can read it if they so choose too

➥ chapter 7: A Meeting of Legends

As the grand ship of the renowned pirate, Shanks, sailed ever closer to the mysterious island, an unexpected encounter awaited them. The sea seemed to come alive, churning and roiling with an ominous energy. Massive sea kings emerged from the depths, their colossal forms dwarfing even the mighty vessel. The crew of the Red Haired Pirates stood in awe and trepidation as the sea kings closed in, their monstrous jaws snapping dangerously close to the ship's hull.

Just as it seemed inevitable that the pirates would face a catastrophic fate, an unforeseen twist of events unfolded. In an instant, the sea kings' onslaught halted, their attention diverted to a figure that had materialized on the shores of the island—a figure that none other than the young male, (Y/N). The sea kings regarded him with a mix of awe and curiosity, their formidable presence subsiding in the presence of this enigmatic being.

With a commanding presence, (Y/N) stood firm, his gaze meeting the eyes of the colossal sea kings. It was a sight that left Shanks and his crew dumbfounded, for they had never witnessed someone with such power over these mythical creatures. As the sea kings hesitated, unsure of how to react, (Y/N) spoke, his voice resonating with a firmness that seemed to pacify the mighty creatures.

"Enough," (Y/N) commanded, his voice carrying the weight of authority. "Return to the depths from whence you came, and trouble this ship no longer."

To the astonishment of all who bore witness, the sea kings responded, as if scolded by a stern parent. They whined in resignation, their towering forms sinking back into the ocean with a gentle grace. The waters calmed, returning to their tranquil state, and the ship of the Red Haired Pirates was once again free from the threat of the sea kings' fury.

Shanks and his crew watched in awe, their eyes wide with wonderment at this display of power. Never before had they encountered someone who could command the sea kings with such authority and control. Their admiration for (Y/N) grew exponentially, recognizing him as someone truly extraordinary.

As the ship glided smoothly upon the ocean's surface, the crew and Shanks approached the shore where (Y/N) stood. Shanks, with his iconic red hair and commanding presence, approached (Y/N) with a mix of curiosity and respect. He extended a hand in greeting, a smile playing at his lips.

"Wow, you truly are a force to be reckoned with," Shanks remarked, his voice filled with a mixture of awe and admiration. "I have never seen anyone command the sea kings as you did. It is an honor to witness such power."

(Y/N) accepted Shanks' handshake, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "It was not power that commanded them, but rather a connection forged through understanding and compassion," he replied. "The sea kings are magnificent creatures, misunderstood and feared by many. They simply needed guidance and a gentle reminder of their place in the world."

As Shanks and (Y/N) conversed, the rest of the Red Haired Pirates marveled at their surroundings. The island itself seemed to hum with a vibrant energy—an energy that emanated from (Y/N) and infused the very air they breathed. It was a testament to the unique power he possessed, a power that transcended the boundaries of conventional understanding.

With the threat of the sea kings subsided, the crew of the Red Haired Pirates took a moment to appreciate the natural beauty of the island. Lush vegetation sprawled across the landscape, vibrant with colors that mirrored the breathtaking majesty of the sea kings. The air was infused with a sense of tranquility, as if the island itself welcomed all who sought refuge within its embrace.

As the day wore on, (Y/N) offered the Red Haired Pirates a glimpse into the wonders of the island. Together, they ventured into uncharted territories, traversing dense jungles, and scaling majestic cliffs. The pirates marveled at the diverse array of flora and fauna, their eyes widened at the sight of rare and mystical creatures that roamed the island.

As they explored, (Y/N) guided the crew with a profound understanding of the island's secrets. He possessed an innate knowledge of the creatures that called this place home, offering insights and guidance at every turn. The pirates listened intently, eager to learn from (Y/N)'s wisdom, as he regaled them with tales of the island's inhabitants and the delicate balance that sustained their existence.

In the midst of their adventures, (Y/N) paused, his gaze drawn to a sea king that had resurfaced near the shore. With a mischievous grin, he approached the creature, extending a hand as if offering an invitation. To the amazement of all, the sea king swam closer, its massive form radiating a sense of curiosity.

"Oh’ what are you doing?" Shanks called out, his voice tinged with both concern and intrigue.

"I believe this magnificent creature desires something we all yearn for—affection," (Y/N) replied, his voice gentle yet filled with conviction. "If I offer it chin scratches, it may just release your ship from its grasp."

With a sense of disbelief, Shanks and his crew watched as (Y/N) tenderly scratched the sea king's chin. The massive creature responded with a rumbling purr, its eyes closing in contentment. Slowly but surely, it released its hold on the ship, allowing it to rest freely upon the shores once more.

In that moment, the crew of the Red Haired Pirates witnessed the extraordinary bond that (Y/N) shared with the creatures of the sea. It was a testament to the power of compassion, to the connection that transcends the barriers of species. They recognized that (Y/N) possessed a unique gift—a gift that granted him the ability to bridge the divide between humans and the magnificent creatures that roam the oceans.

“Thanks kid, we won’t forget this!”

As the ship begin to sail away from the island, the memory of (Y/N) and his remarkable connection with the sea kings remained etched in the hearts and minds of the Red Haired Pirates. They carried with them a newfound respect for the delicate balance of nature and the interconnectedness of all living beings.

And as they set forth on their next adventure, their hearts filled with wonder and curiosity, they knew that they had been forever changed by the presence of (Y/N) and the extraordinary creatures of the sea. They understood that true power lies not in domination, but in the ability to forge meaningful connections and embrace the beauty of the natural world.

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

In the show's Show Bible, Mermista is described as "Non-sucky Aquaman". Let's compare the two characters.

Aquaman: -Due to his Atlantean physiology adapted to the great depths of the sea, Aquaman has super-strength (he can lift an ocean liner) and super-resistance. As well as highly developed hearing and eyesight. -He can control (almost) all marine life telepathically, including apex predators… and mythical creatures like the Kraken. -Has Poseidon's Trident, allowing him to control the seas and weather. -Fiercely leads and protects Atlantis, the seas and oceans against various threats, from supervillains (including a very capable and deadly nemesis) to aquatic deities, as well as coups and civil wars. -Is married to Mera and has a child.

Mermista: -Can control water to make waves…and transform into a mermaid. That's all. -Speaks literally to sea animals… at least seagulls only, from what we see in the series. -His trident is almost useless to him. We've never seen it used to kill anyone. -Seems to be a terrible ruler, doing nothing when her kingdom is empty and under threat. And when he is taken by the Horde… she reacts as if she had just had a teenage heartbreak. -Is in a relationship with Seahawk.

Conclusion: Either the creative team only had the Super Friends series as a reference for Aquaman… or they thought that the simple fact that Mermista was a female POC was enough to say that she was "cooler" .

i don't know much about aquaman but yeah, the spop crew always seemed to think that their show is better than all other media, just because it has ✨representation✨ (and not even good representation).

Magical tickles

Warnings: Tommy pushes Wilbur away quite a bit in this fic but they have a safeword in place:] Also swearing cause it's a Tommy fic-

Notes: FAIRIES!!! :D This is about fairies!! I'm sorry if this doesn't do Tommy justice but he's not really my favorite to centric writing around but I felt like this fit him so :] if something sounds weird just message me and tell so I can fix it!

This wonderful person: @fluffallamaful helped me with the tummy nibbles so go check them out! They post some amazing tickle concepts about the crew boys!!

--------------------------------------------------

"Faes, mythical creatures known for being mischievous and being allergic to iron. An ask of your name and you'll disappear, being dragged to the fae court or dancing until death-"

"The people who write these are pricks, why do other magical creatures get cool stuff written about them and we only get death and allergic to iron?" Tommy shrugged and placed the book he was reading from down, "Maybe faes are just not interesting, I mean your pretty boring." Tommy tried to hide his grin at his comment, knowing that Wilbur would cause a scene.

Wilbur opened his mouth and closed it his wings twitched in surprise before he put his hand on his chest. "How dare you. I will have you know all faes are very interesting including me! Have you seen my wings?? My guitar skills?? My ama-zing hair!"

Tommy tried holding his laugher in before he made eye contact with Wilbur and started laughing. Wilbur scoffed, "Your laughing at me? I will have you know that if you really want something to laugh about I'll give you something to laugh about!" Tommy kept laughing but slowly slowed down, "Whahahat?"

Wilbur grinned, "Faes are very good at tickle magic." Tommy was silent for a minute, his face confused as Wilbur stood up, his wings fluttering in excitement behind him. "Wait oh- haha uh- W-Wilbur you know we are like brothers right-" Tommy started ranting nervously, trying to scoot away until Wilbur was standing above him and grinning.

"Wilhlhlhbur plehehease-" Wilbur pretended to think, giving Tommy enough time to scramble on his knees and squeeze his sides but Wilbur didn't react, he just grinned even more.

"What the fuck?" "I'm not ticklish Tommy." Tommy's eyes widened, "Everyone's ticklish somewhere! Just tell me your tickle spots-" Wilbur laughed, "Well I won't do that but you certainly will!" "What?-" Wilbur's voice suddenly became soft and echoey, the words sounding enticing and comforting.

"Tommyinnit, Where are you ticklish?"

Tommy felt his body relax and he slowly sat back down, his jaw opening without his permission. "My sides and stomach." Tommy blinked a few times before his face turned red, "your such a fuckin bitch man- that was so unfair!"

Wilbur crouched down infront of Tommy and put his hand on Tommy's head, messing up his hair with a grin. Tommy narrowed his eyes and pushed Wilburs hand away, making Wilbur let out a chuckle. "It's not my fault I am sooooo powerful and so handsome-" Tommy groaned, making Wilbur let out a laugh.

Wilbur took a deep breath and his face softened as he looked Tommy in the eyes. "Seriously though, if you want me stop just.. Yell mercy okay?" "Okay Will, I trust you."

Wilbur smiled and suddenly his fingers tips begin to shine a light blue before slowly disappearing, Tommy raised an eyebrow but Wilbur just kept smiling before he lightly tapped Tommy's sides. a small thing that normally wouldn't effect Tommy but he burst into giggles at it, somehow feeling his sensitivity increase. "Whahahat the hehehehell?"

"Tickle magic!" Wilbur reminded happily before continuing to do light taps up and down Tommy's sides, sometimes stopping and slowly sliding them up and down. Making Tommy reach for his hands, but not exactly stopping him. Wilbur suddenly squeezed Tommy's sides, Making Tommy let out a surprise yelp that was quickly followed by laughter.

Wilbur hummed and moved his hands down to Tommy's stomach, "Tommy, Lift your shirt please" Tommy's face turned a light pink and he lifted his hands to cover his face, groaning out of embarrassment.

Wilbur spoke in a hushed tone, "Tommy. If you don't lift your shirt then I will, and trust me I think we both know that if I do it then I will slowly glide my fingers over to your ribs, I know it's not a bad spot which is why I'll keep my fingers there and I will keep wiggling and gliding them, maybe drag my nails a bit until you are in the biggest lee mood and will be begging for me to tickle all your cute little ticklish spots!"

Tommy quickly dropped his hands from his face and lifted his shirt, his face still a light pink but slowly going away. Wilbur smiled and lightly grazed his fingertips against Tommy's stomach, watching the skin jump. "Thank you Tommy."

Tommy let out a few breathy giggles before Wilbur had his fingertips glow pink before fading once again. Wilbur started skittering his fingers on Tommy's stomach except instead of Tommy feeling just the fingers on his stomach, he felt phantom hands skittering against his inner thighs and some that targeted his knees.

Tommy begin to kick and squirm, laughter falling out of him. Wilbur on the other hand was trying to avoid getting kicked in the face, twisting and shifting his body every which way. "WHAHAHAHT THE HEHEHELL IS THIS MAHAHAHAN?" Wilbur eventually lifted his hands and grabbed both of Tommy's feet, pinning them down.

"It's just phantom hands, my last power increases sensitivity and this one gives me phantom hands that follows my consciousness, so if I want them in a specific place-" Tommy let out a snort and they both freezed, Wilburs phantom hands paused and Wilbur slowly closed his mouth. After awhile, the phantom hand, the one under his thigh, moved again doing the same movement, making Tommy let out another snort.

Wilbur chuckled and quickly let the phantom hands continue their movements, not giving Tommy anytime to process his cheeks burning red. "I never even knew you could snort, did you plan to keep this from me forever? Keeping your cute little snorts all to yourself? How selfish!" Wilbur exclaimed but his smile indicated he adored the noise.

Tommy was too busy laughing to respond and with his feet now pinned down and his arms being the thing that was holding his upper body up, he had no where to release his ticklish energy besides shaking his head.

Wilbur eventually lifted his hands, shooing away the phantom hands. He quickly crawled over to the side of Tommy, avoiding getting kicked while Tommy let out any tickle energy that was left.

After awhile, when Tommy was done squirming, Wilbur lifted him and placed him on his lap sideways. Tommy placed his hands down to hold himself up, suprised and flustered. "What are you doing Wilbur?" Wilbur hummed in response, carefully moving his hands to support Tommy.

Wilbur used one of his hands to move Tommy's shirt up, Tommy giggled at the feeling of the light fabric on his stomach. "Since I spend alllll my time eating delicious food at fae court, I never have the time to try something I really want!" Tommy raised an eyebrow and Wilbur continued, "I never had the chance to try.. Your delicious giggles!"

With that, Wilbur put his head down and blew a raspberry on Tommy's stomach. Tommy squealed, lifting his hands to weakly press against Wilbur's chest, not putting in any actual effort to push him away. Wilbur grinned into Tommy's skin before pulling away. "Dude you are so ticklish." Tommy turned his head to look away. "Fuck ohohoff Mahan..."

Wilbur quietly placed his head back down, Tommy quickly shifted his head to look at what Wilbur was doing, slightly panicking when he saw Wilbur open his mouth, revealing his canines. He placed his hands on Wilbur's shoulders, not pushing just having them stay in place. Wilbur lightly grazed his teeth against Tommy's sides before nibbling gently.

Tommy had his eyes shut in anticipation, waiting for a stinging feeling or some sort of pain but instead was met with it tickling. He giggled out of surprise before loud laughter began to fall out of him rather quickly.

"WIHIHIHILBUR JESUHUHUS IT TIHIHIHCKLES SO MUHUHUCH-" Tommy's back arched, his body trying to evade the tickles but only pushing into them. Wilbur lifted his head for a minute out of surprise before continuing, making sure his teeth didn't go too hard that it left marks but firm enough that Tommy could feel it.

Tommy squealed, using his hand to cover his mouth but quickly removing it to pound his hand on the ground. "NOHOHO WILBHBHBHUR!! MERCHCHHCY!!" Wilbur quickly lifted his head. Tommy kept laughing though, his hand grabbing onto Wilbur's shirt. Wilbur hummed and waited for Tommy to calm down from his residue giggles.

It was quiet, Tommy was slowing his breathing down and Wilbur was drawing small shapes on Tommy's arm. "You want some water?" Tommy groaned "I want a nap." Wilbur laughed, "Fine water first though or your throat will kill you and your gonna complain about it all day-" "I will not! Big men don't complain-"

And yes the next day, Tommy did complain about his throat being sore.

The Izzy paradox, addendum

So we can see how Ed’s feelings towards Stede start influencing his regular behavior. He changes his mind on some of his previous rules, he doesn’t see some things in the same light anymore. That’s to be expected, especially since Ed is quite a social chameleon.

But the same kinda happens to Izzy, too. He’s losing control of the situation and feeling replaced, and so he does some things he might’ve not done before. So I just wanted to compare a few things in his actions for fun.

To me, ep 4 is really good at establishing the baseline of how Izzy and Ed used to interact, even if things were starting to get sour between them. On my first watch I even commented that I completely understand and relate to Izzy at that point. Ep 4 Izzy paints the picture of a stressed assistant who doesn’t feel heard or valued, and I can get behind that frustration. But after that it kinda starts going off the rails.

At first Izzy is totally fine with calling Ed by his name, and in fact keeps doing that up until ep 10. The thing is, he considers himself the only one worthy of doing that. Izzy used to be the closest figure to him, the one who used to know Edward best as a person instead of a mythical menace.

But Stede frivolously steals the “Edward” privileges for himself, and then his crew does the same. And all that’s left to Izzy is referring to Ed as Blackbeard, the image they might’ve crafted together.

And eventually he doesn’t want to perceive “Edward” at all.

Izzy looks up to Ed’s expertize. Ed has a creative problem solving mind, he thinks outside the box, and that’s pretty sexy. Hell, Izzy probably thought the lighthouse trick was pretty damn neat, even if Stede had a hand in it.

But then we have the “take me down” scene where Izzy lashes out that Ed is acting like he’s too smart for him and doesn’t trust Izzy to do things right anymore.

Izzy originally wanted to leave the crew because he didn’t like the working conditions. Ed was the one who stopped him.

But when he’s forced to leave because he lost to Stede, and Ed just goes “oh well, shouldn’t have challenged him, buddy”, that kind of exit is unacceptable.

Izzy seemed pretty okay with the idea of Ed retiring at first, as long as he got rid of Stede in the process and put Izzy in charge. 

(I do wonder what Ed’s retirement would’ve looked like before Stede)

Compared to how mad he was at Ed essentially going into that retirement in ep 10, because 1) all of it was caused by Stede 2) Izzy being in charge clearly didn’t work out 3) Izzy hated seeing Ed in this passive state.

I’m actually not sure how bloated Izzy’s ego was originally. He definitely wanted to be respected and feared and in control, and he obviously would’ve loved to raise in ranks, but I can’t say he was exactly over the top haughty or megalomaniacal about it. But I choose to believe that when he stopped getting Ed’s recognition, he started trying to compensate his sense of importance by being an obnoxious little arrogant man. Because that’s pretty funny.

We know how Ed feels about passive aggressiveness. He can ignore insults; Izzy previously called him a twat and an unpleasant shell of a man, and even said he wished the British killed him, and Ed barely reacted to any of those. Izzy’s mad, what else is new? It’s only when Izzy starts mocking him is when Ed loses it. I imagine if that ever happened before, Izzy wouldn’t be a part of the crew, or alive in general, so that has to be a new low even for him.

On that note, Izzy was lecturing Ed about signing up to serve the navy, despite literally pulling the same thing earlier, as long as they got rid of Stede.

I don’t really have a further point here, I just uhh *puts Izzy in a pear wiggler* He’s fascinating and full of mysteries to solve.

You know following @thestorytimeguy has made me realize of all the stories and history that have been neglected from different backgrounds. Latino and Aztec/Mesoamericano stories but also African and African American stories. But neglected I mean we hear so often iterations of the Brothers Grimm, Aesops Fables, Hans Christian Andersen, etc. and not those stories. Stories from a racially diverse background.

We are getting a new The Little Mermaid.

I’ve always been distant with these live action remakes because they seem like a downgrade to the beautiful original. Flawed as some of them may be these originals have worth. It is way much more worth than these live action remakes that offer more often than not poor soundtracks, extra time and for what? The same exact story! Nothing new is really not added! And if things are altered the changes feel weird because you know they are changes! And the special effects although props to all the workers, they just don’t have the same freedom animation has and can’t do the scenes already done good justice. They cater to the nostalgia of their older audience and leave their new audiences confused on these attempts sometimes.

I digress, anyways… this “Ariel” is black and yk the rest of her sisters are racially diverse too (I hope this is given a purpose like each sister comes from and rules a separate ocean of the seven seas, that would be cool) but like when Ariel’s actress was announced I wasn’t one of those people who were like “that’s not how Ariel is supposed to look like” but I also don’t see their reasoning. Is this supposed to be representation? Because even though there’s not really a “supposed to” for a mythical creature this is a white story. I do hope there’s a purpose like the aforementioned because then you have your POC with a story that is not their own. That is not REPRESENTING them.

I mean unless you do something exciting with a remake or retelling. Because Disney is doing both with this Little Mermaid- remember Hans Christian Andersen’s little mermaid was some different. I think like despite the story of The Frog Prince being German, the remix The Princess and the Frog put on it- showing the culture of New Orleans, putting role model relationships and a role model princess- is representation going right. Although yeah I agree the whole half a movie as a frog is a bit of the opposite of representation you still have the cast diverse (the crew could use some work but through the movie you can at least tell they did their research). There’s a new trailer of the upcoming Little Mermaid out… and the first teaser was honestly exciting I had hopes anticipating what they might do for this remake. How naive I am. This new trailer showed the EXACT SAME SCENES AS THE 1989 MOVIE. Dude the EXACT same dialogue. I know because I know it like the back of my hand! (Ariel was my sister’s favorite princess) How disappointing it was! I will say maybe a wider view “I-can-show-you-the-world” Under the Sea sequence sounds cool and the way Ursula’s tentacles lit up was real cool.

I had some disconnect when I saw Halle Bailey react to her Ariel doll. Which is amazing don't get me wrong! I really don't know why I felt this, maybe because she said Ariel was her favorite Disney character and now it looks like her. I hope I am not insensitive in saying that I don't quite understand that?

I mean when it comes to dolls I know there's like a whole other history and issues- some I am sure linked to film, so that is a whole other branch in topic. But my feelings I am referring to is besides dolls. More of referring to the argument that it is good for Ariel to be a POC for the young generations to see “themselves” in roles they would want to emulate. I do hope that kids aren’t limited by skin color. I hope that they don’t look at these animated princesses and think “I can never be them, I’m not white.” Be whoever you want to be in heart and outfits/dress-up. (A different story if literally working in parks of course.) It’s not like I don’t understand though what it means to see your color on the screen. Even despite dressing up as Cinderella and Snow White when I was young, having a favorite princess in the former, I still had felt this ethereal connection to Pocahontas. Although not my culture (not anyone's really) it meant something that she looked like me.

I guess that is what they are striving for with this remake. But we have on come so far from the thinking of the 90s to just take that now. On the matter of it doesn't matter what the princess or hell superhero looks like, let me clarify: yes that is a bit of a “colorblind” statement and I still stand by that for I contend it is the right kind of clot blindness for a child to have. But as adults, as movie creators, and occupants of this society that race was built into, we can't be colorblind because you neglect the trials, tribulations, and triumphs behind the race. And that is what this "representation" does.

That's what this new Little Mermaid is. I applaud the representation of movies like Moana and Encanto, their flaws still present, these films gave the adventure and role models and lessons and culture behind the ethnicity of these characters. The cast and characters delivering their own new stories. THEIR OWN.

Like aside from race representation, what I think would be a bit more than surface level representation would be casting queer actors in the roles of Ariel and Ursula. This movie and story is a queer allegory through and through. The mermaid who had body dismorphia, who didn't belong. That was the story when (possibly queer) Hans Christian Andersen wrote it and that essence remained in Disney’s 1989 adaptation – of course in their version the mermaid gets the happy ending well in the OG she did not. As far as I can tell Halle Bailey is not queer. Melissa McCarthy is a strong ally, and in fairness she has performed as a drag queen. Which if you didn’t know the design for Ursula was inspired by drag queen Divine. And she apparently "stays true" to animated Ursula. Which again- mixed feelings after all if you are going to make a live action, make it your own! Not a copy, not Will Smith trying to be Robin Williams’ Genie. Make it Will Smith being Will’s Genie.

But Ursula I think they went the safe route because although the queer community has pretty much claimed the sea witch as their own, the issue of and complexity of queer coding villains arises. Yet I’m still in favor for Alex Newell playing Ursula. That’s based on merit too! Like did you HEAR their performance on Disney’s Pride celebration?? Since maybe with that fan-cast other issues might come about, hear me out, instead of a live action Little Mermaid, what about- another Alex Newell featuring project- Once on This Island?!

Once on This Island is a musical adaptation of 1985 novel “My Love, My Love; or, The Peasant Girl” by Rosa Guy, a Caribbean retelling of Has Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Little Mermaid. It was nominated for 8 Tony Awards back in 1991. It would be an excellent story to put to the screen! A fact that Disney even acknowledged. Disney+ announced a pro shot of the stage version back in 2020 and no one’s followed up, so here’s me following up!

[oh-star-how-the-mighty-fall]

I watched the 80s movie Heathers for the first time yesterday. I had heard about it but never had watched it. I knew it was a cult classic so I decided to give it a shot. It was decent but not something I would want to watch a million times like some people. I was watching Good Mythical Morning and they had to guess the movie from the first line of dialogue, and one of the multiple choice options was Heathers and Link said he hadn't heard of it. Practically the entire crew behind the camera gasped, and their producer was like "oh my God. My chest hurts a little", acting like it was the most shocking thing. She said she would have understood more if he had said that he had heard of it but never seen it (like me). After watching it, I mean, it wasn't BAD, but I wouldn't have reacted the way the GMM crew did.

JD is deranged, but I also felt bad for him because of how messed up he was/progressively got as the movie went on. He did have some funny lines though…

#Heathers #it has a musical version as well #I’m glad they didn’t show the violence much at least

Sword-Step

A traveling instructor has arrived at Garreg Mach, ready to teach any willing listeners how to practice the delicate and graceful art of sword dancing. It’s optional for, well, everyone but your class. You’ll need to choreograph and memorize an original routine to fulfill the requirements to move into the next level of sword mastery and this is your last chance before the term officially changes. Grab a partner, watch those feet and try not to stab anyone this time? [Grants Sword +1]

“Lady Lyn, is that you?”

Spotting a familiar face, Owain puts to rest the choreography he’d been working on to help himself to a bit of conversation. With his sword--the legendary Missiletainn--slung over his shoulder, he approaches his ally of another world. It’s been nearly a month since they fought together in Eden, but to Owain, it feels like it was only yesterday. An unlikely comrade in the chaotic woes of war, she and the rest of the crew have a special place in his heart. Never will he forget squaring down Melanthios alongside his fated allies of epic proportions. 

“What sort of mythical adventure have you gotten yourself wrapped up in this time? Wait--don’t tell me!” Arm flies out in front of him, waving over Lyn’s face and trying to null out whatever dialogue she’d respond with, “You’re here to learn the sacred art of Dance Swording! Hah! I knew you would make for a heroic pupil.” 

It’s pretty clear where he’s going with this.

The blade on his shoulder comes to rest at his side, ready to be wielded with style. He smirks, too, legs now widening in stance has he prepares both his confidence and body to show Lyn a thing or two. “Fate has smiled upon you, friend, for the world-renowned Dance Sworder stands in your presence: Oberon Dark, The Darkfooted Dance Debonair!” Pause for dramatic effect, and an awe-inspiring pose. His free hand opens and thrusts out mere inches in front of her face, while the opposite holds the point of his beloved sword up at the heavens. Not a moment’s reprieve is given, not a single opportunity to react. He just keeps going, adding more and more tomfoolery until it becomes so impossibly unclear what Lyn is meant to respond to and what is supposed to be theatrical filler.

“What say you to a quick lesson from a cosmic master? I have enough special dances to last a thousand thousand lifetimes, and each comes with an epic name. How do you fancy Blitzing Sparkshock? Or March of the Damned? Perhaps Rose-Garden of Flamingos catches your attention, or maybe Nightingale's Dark Waltz! If you hunger for challenge even half as much as I, my advanced techniques call your name! Behold: Twirl of Ice and Snow: Spring’s Redux! Oh, oh! And The Torrential Bachata of Arid Starsurge! And Stone-Co-” 

It doesn’t seem like he’ll run out of names (or breath) any time soon.

I probably never talked about this before...

I'm guessing most of y'all are excited about the whole Good Mythical Evening livestream, with R&L and the crew going uncensored and live, saying whatever they want & touching on more risqué topics.

But I just can't bring myself to watch that without triggering my trauma.

I'm used to the clean R&L & GMM, and used to watching their episodes for comfort from what went on in my first workplace where the traumatic event started. They didn't heal me fully but at least they helped soothe my anger gradually. Yes I'm aware of GMM's shift into making subtle sexual undertones but I still can't bring myself to watch them saying curse words or being lewd, else it'll sent me to a violent rage & I'd swear up a storm at them, hurl insults and having raging murderous thoughts of them.

Y'see, it all started with my first real job at [REDACTED]. The cause of this problem is pretty stupid & mundane, but it lasted until now, after years of leaving the company I first worked in, and it persisted even with new surroundings in the company I worked with.

First off I was the only female & fresh graduate in my division. It's a small company. I've got 2-3 other men working and they're all dads. They present themselves as righteous, religious family men & maintain a friendly casual connection with my religious parents. But they'd destress by playing online games and when they play, they'd turn 180° from their religious good guys facade into ABSOLUTE DICKS with their cussing & racist & sexist remarks. It feels terribly off & it scared & angered me & I never wanted to witness this again. It's repetitive enough to traumatize me. Not to mention these assholes would cut off the wifi to play their game, which meant cutting my connection with my online friends (cuz I had no friends IRL then), isolating me even further & worsening my work days.  So there I was, stuck all alone in a room with no one to talk to while having to hear these cocksuckers screaming & yelling & acting like they shouldn't be. THIS is one of the main reasons why I started talking to myself louder. To DROWN THEIR NOISES.

Btw the game they were playing was League of Legends. There's nothing wrong with the game but for a long while these guys ruined the game for me. Luckily I found my love for LoL again through K/DA and Arcane, despite never playing the game. It's never the game. it's these mofos.

One time I got pissed and acted exactly like them, being generally angry, yelling & spewing the same hateful stuff they did when they were playing, but y’know what? They told me to shut up & thought I was "possessed" cuz they were doing fucking WORK (and I was taking a break). They have the GODDAMN NERVE to gang up on me telling me I need to "repent" and chant the Istighfar a couple of times so I won't be disturbed.

BITCH WHAT.

It wasn't the "demons" or "evil spirits" disturbing me, IT WAS YOU DICKHEADS AND YOUR TWO-FACEDNESS. I was alone. I was visibly frustrated, hyperventilating. I was crying. I felt overpowered. This is what a MENTAL BREAKDOWN looks like. This is ANXIETY. NOT DEMON POSSESSION YOU DIPSHITS. Don't these guys see the irony of telling someone else to repent, pray & say the istighfar when their hypocritical selves are yelling curse words spewing racist & sexist bullshit at the same time?

Anyway they acted nice whenever they’re in front of me, like occasionally giving me work guidances and buying drinks once or twice, but still, I’m always under the constant fear of them possibly acting up again. This is why I always put headphones on at work until now.

Even years later after I moved on to a new workplace, I’d still react the same way whenever a coworker accidentally swears, like I’d still insult them & swear at them the same way. And cry. A lot. From restraining from physically harming them cuz it was supposed to be a professional setting & I can’t punch anyone or stab them with a pen without the consequences of getting fired.

---

Anyways, update, I just realized that I'll get triggered with new people (who i hang out with) if they started cursing or saying things they shouldn’t. With IRL friends n internet friends, i'm used to them. Turns out the fear lies not so much with age. It's weird cuz I have an online friend whom I met up a few times irl, and she's around my age and we talked about subtle dirty stuff and violence & murder but if she ever so slightly drop an f-bomb in convos/tweets it'll make me want to bludgeon her face with a mallet while yelling all the profanities n insults at her telling her she's a waste of oxygen, etc. when the truth is I never meant all of that. I don't wanna call someone "a waste of oxygen that doesn’t deserve to live".

No one deserves that. I hope those never comes outta my mouth. Especially not directed towards my friends, my family, people I care about. Which is why whenever I meet new people I always need to tell them to watch their language when they’re around me, cuz I don’t wanna unleash a mf-ing monster & physically hurt them.

And when it comes to Youtubers I'm somehow fine with people like Smosh, or the Try Guys (and other ex-Buzzfeed ppl) using profanity or dirty sexual jokes, but sadly not the people at Mythical (even though they technically own Smosh). It all lies in the introduction to me.

TL;DR I'm only fine with people swearing & making sex jokes when it comes to my friends, people close to my age, art school people, childless people & people that aren’t children. Other than those mentioned would result in me I getting triggered. I will get violent. I would cut a bitch. I hate how one measly traumatic event made me a hypocrite. (internet people are alright, I’ll give y’all an excuse).

So yeah, I’ll just stick to the usual dose of GMM & GMMore. I feel bad cuz I can’t listen to Ear Biscuits anymore or enjoy exclusive content, but I’ll lurk on the internet for any mythical beasts to fill me in on EB updates.

As for those guys who used to work at the old production house, you’re part of the cause of the toxic environment and the lasting trauma I endured. You guys can gladly go fuck yourselves, unless y’all are still hiding behind that religious image that made you think masturbation is a sin.

Get the sims 4 all dlc movie#

Not only does it bring welcome variations to the weather thanks to changing seasons, but it adds loads of new clothing and building items so your sims can properly prepare for snow days or the sweltering heat. Seasons should be on everyone’s must-have list. Depending on how the director reacts, the performance could be a flop or a total success. Your success depends on how much you’ve honed your acting skill, your rapport with the rest of the crew, and judgement calls on whether to take risks when performing. You can put your sim through the hair and makeup departments and make them perform for the cameras.

Get the sims 4 all dlc movie#

The ability to visit movie sets, which are filled with props like pirate ships and saloons, is also a lot of fun. Having other sims gawk and have a fan freak-out over your sim is amusing and gratifying it feels like a reward for all the hard work you put toward their celebrity status. Other sims will want to take their picture and get their autograph. When your sims achieve a milestone like landing a lead role in the hottest pirate movie, writing their next great novel, or catching a huge fish, your sims build their fame level. until you add the Get Famous expansion pack. In the Sims 4, you can attain success by climbing a career-path ladder to the top, but other sims won’t care about your renowned accomplishments. It’s a joy to build a home that allows your sims to wake up in the morning and dive right into the sea from their patio. The world of Sulani is captivating, with seaside venues and expansive ocean waters. If you love building in the Sims, then this pack is a must-have. You can also enchant people with your siren’s call, whether your intent is matchmaking or mayhem. Though their abilities are surface level (the Vampires pack, in comparison, has light RPG mechanics that allow you to learn new magical skills), the aesthetics alone are worth the price of admission since each mermaid looks awesome when swimming around and befriending dolphins. Players can really see the impact their sims make on the island with cleaner beaches, greener trees, and even more flowers.Ĭreating a mermaid is a lot of fun, since you can achieve some beautiful designs for your mythical creature. Connecting with the culture and tending to the island is rewarding. “Child of the Islands” and “Child of the Ocean” both introduce some original new ways to interact within the island of Sulani. Along with mermaids, this pack has plenty of new gameplay, especially when it comes to new features and traits in create-a-sim. This recent release has already proven to be a solid entry.

Tényleg seggfej Michael O'Leary, Ryanair. Akkor is, ha magyar seggfejeket anyáz.

Many press articles have described O'Leary as arrogant and prone to making comments which he later contradicts.[14][15][16][17][18][19] He has been extravagantly outspoken in his public statements, sometimes resorting to personal attacks and foul language.[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] His abrasive management style, ruthless pursuit of cost-cutting and his explicitly hostile attitude towards corporate competitors, airport authorities, governments, unions and customers has become a hallmark.[28] He was reported to have been aggressive and hostile in dealings with a woman who was awarded free flights for life in 1988.[29][30]

In 2002, O'Leary said that his company is against any long-haul transatlantic services: "The low-cost model only really works for short-haul flights. [...] If we started flying farther afield, we'd have to do something stupid like introducing what I call a 'rich class' to make it pay."[31] However, while at the 2013 Paris Air Show, he said that he wanted to sell cheap flights from the U.S. to Europe for as low as 10 euros ($13) or $10, if conditions were right. He said that he needed a fleet of at least 30 twin-aisle aircraft and access to ports (e.g. major U.S. and European cities, in the airline industry there are so called slots or sometimes gates, often regulated by law, and without obtaining them it is impossible to have regular service to airports). Despite his claims in 2002, there were so called budget airliners in the past who serve long haul routes – for example Laker Airways flights from London to New York in the late 1970s or long-hauls at budget-fares on other continents like AirAsiaX in Malaysia and the Australian Jetstar Group.[32]

In 2004, O'Leary purchased a taxi license plate for his Mercedes-Benz S-Class under the name O'Leary Cabs, enabling it to be classified as a taxi so that he could legally make use of Dublin's bus lanes to speed up his car journeys around the city.[21] A press report suggested that since he had stopped driving his own taxi, he has employed a driver with full PSV licence. In 2005, the Irish transport minister expressed concern at this abuse by O'Leary and others.[33][34]

In 2007, O'Leary was forced to retract a claim that Ryanair had cut emissions of carbon dioxide by half over the previous five years because the claim should have been that emissions "per passenger" had been cut by half.[35] He has been reported to have impersonated a journalist in an attempt to find information passed on to a newspaper following a safety incident on a Ryanair flight.[36] On occasion, he has apologised for personal attacks under threat of legal action.[37] He has been criticised by a judge for lying, who said he was lucky not to be found guilty of contempt of court.[38] He has also been criticised for dismissing concerns about climate change as "complete nonsense".[39]

Reacting to the decision to close European airspace in April 2010 over worries about the volcanic ash plume from an erupting Icelandic volcano, O'Leary falsely said, "There was no ash cloud. It was mythical. It's become evident the airspace closure was completely unnecessary." One study concluded that serious structural damage to aircraft could have occurred if passenger planes had continued to fly.[40]

In May 2014, O'Leary was highly critical of a 24-hour strike by Aer Lingus cabin crew. Aer Lingus, whose biggest shareholder at the time was Ryanair, had to cancel 200 flights and disrupt travel plans for 200,000 people. O'Leary accused Aer Lingus of "mismanagement" of its employee relations, called for the sacking of a board member, and said the striking employees should be punished by having their discount travel incentives withdrawn for a year.[41]

ParticipantsParticipants in the Bilderberg meeting have stated that O'Leary was invited to attend the 2015 meeting.[42][43][44] He was later seen attending its 2017 meeting.

In February 2020, O'Leary suggested that airport security should focus on single Muslim men and called obese passengers "monsters".[45]

In April 2020, O'Leary compared Lufthansa AG to "a crack cocaine junkie looking for state aid."[46]

In June 2020, O'Leary defended Ryanair's use of an Afrikaans language test on South African nationals flying to the UK and Ireland. However, he later withdrew his comments amid widespread criticism of Ryanair's discriminatory policy. Notwithstanding the historical connotations of Afrikaans in South Africa during the Apartheid era, Afrikaans, along with English, is only one of the 11 official languages in South Africa. [47]

The romances in OFMD took me by surprise.

You know? Because yeah, sometime in the middle of the series we get this feeling that Ed and Stede are heading towards something (by the time I, like many others, thought I was going to be queerbaited. Sigh) but then!!!

Then there's this cuuuute mutual crush Olu and Jim have on each other, which honestly, some of their moments truly had me squealing because they're. just. so. CUTE.

I mean, listen.

Jim's favourite colour is teal. The same colour as Olu's earring, which they would have a direct view of when Olu asked them about it. If this isn't the cutest thing ever, then honestly!!!! What is!!!! And the fact that they've been friends all this time, like, ahhhhhh 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Their love story is, I think, paced in such a lovely way too, because we start with episode 1 when it's established that Olu has a little crush on Jim, and then further down the line it's revealed that it's mutual, and then they almost kiss, so when they actually kiss for real in the last episode of the series it's honestly like!!! YES!!!!! YES, GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!

And then!!!

Then there's Lucius and Black Pete.

This one, I completely didn't anticipate, but when it came around, it hit me right over the head with again, how impossibly cute they are together.

Because for the majority of the series Black Pete is something of a dick really, his main personality trait being that he once worked with Blackbeard (or so he says) and that out of everyone in Stede's crew (including Stede himself) he's the closest to the "real pirate" ideal.

And together, Lucius and Pete mostly hook up around the ship, which they do instead of working. That's their whole deal, and we're meant to think that oh, okay, so it's just casual with them!

But then!!!

Lucius loses his finger, and Black Pete whittles a prosthetic one for him!!!! And Lucius loves it!!! And he kisses Pete!!!! And they're just!!!! So sweet and cute and just 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 from this point forward

(there is much to be said how Black Pete is going to react if he finds out that his beloved Blackbeard threw his sweetie pie Lucius overboard. I think his reaction could be very interesting, because on one hand you have this idolisation of a mythical figure almost, and on the other hand you have his love for Lucius, something that is way more tangible and like, mutual??? Unlike the thing with Blackbeard, since we didn't really get a confirmation that Pete was actually ever on his crew, which, regardless of whether that's true or not, it's clear that Black Pete looks up to him quite a lot)

So while Ed and Stede might be the central love story of the show, the relationships between side characters are almost shockingly sweet and well developed, considering the very limited screen time. Plus, each of these relationships has kind of a different... Flavour, it's written in a different font if you will. Each of them has a different feel to it, I guess that's what I'm trying to say?

I love them all, and honestly? I'm hoping that in later seasons some other crew members will get it on with each other. They're all such fun characters to observe interacting with one another, and seeing their personalities clash in unique ways as they get it on is bound to be sweet and fun to watch.
