it's entirely possible childe and diluc have met in canon. childe joined the fatui real early and diluc was wandering around having his revenge arc until maybe a year ago. childe wasn't involved with delusion production afaik but diluc's notoriety among the fatui would have made him an attractive target for childe. if they were in the same area, they both would have gone after each other's throats. given that childe has both a vision and a delusion, AND his fun demon form, and diluc was running around visionless, childe would have either overpowered him… or made it an even fight by promising not to use his vision.
also, diluc's revenge arc lasted around three years, so they could have run into each other more than once and childe would have been eccatic about it each time. diluc would start getting very, very tired of childe's blood knight antics but maybe start to think of him as insane in a predictable, almost safe way.
fast forward four years and childe shows up in mondstadt on official fatui business. diluc sees childe before childe sees him and he knows it's not worth it trying to fight childe, because childe gets off on it and also a monster (metaphorically but also literally). so he decides to avoid being seen himself and spends a lot of time hiding either at the dawn winery or in the back at the bar. (tho he might do some espionage as the darknight hero, but that's a separate thought.)
at some point, diluc screws up. childe spots him, recognizes him on sight, spot his pyro vision, and becomes immediately I N S U F F E R A B L E. this guy who was nearly a match for him while visionless now has an upgrade and childe very very badly wants to test it out.
childe grins and says, "Wow, fancy meeting you here! It's been so long. I was afraid you'd gotten yourself killed from exposure!" and pulls out a weapon.
diluc scowls and says, "I'm not fighting you in the middle of town you fucking maniac."
childe amicably doesn't rush to attack but doesn't also doesn't put down his weapon. "So, you'll fight me outside of town?"
anyway imagining the local fatui and the mond towns folk observing this interaction in broad daylight and then gossip spreading like wildfire (and kaeya, jean, and lisa hearing about it) gives me life

"We did it, but others told us to."
We thought it would be fun. Wars were always a civilized business after all. It was supposed to be grand, sweeping, and romantic. Two armies would clash, there would be lots of daring do, and once this grand conflict was over that was that. You didn't hold a grudge. It was a relief from the boredom of jobs at home. You got done, shook hands, picked up the dead, and that was that. We didn't have a quarrel with the other male, this was between our bosses, see? It's the way of things. We challenge a dominant power to see who is better.
We were just following orders.
We took their Jupiter bases and wondered what all the hubbub was about further inward. Something about the targets we hit. I didn't understand. Sure the bases didn't have any weapons, but this was war. We were doing our jobs.
They opened up on us at the asteroid belt, with hundred megawatt transportation lasers and mass drivers. We didn't expect that. This was supposed to be civilized! They made us fight our way through the belt, forcing us to lose ten fighters for every kilometer of space. They were using civilian equipment against us! Those lasers were for high speed transportation, those mass drivers for cargo delivery! Why did they not use proper warships? We were just doing our jobs.
The Martian colony, here we thought would be the great decisive battle. They threw dozens of ships against us. They used their megawatt lasers and mass drivers. Their reaction drives burned out anything that got close. They screamed their hate at us and we didn't understand. We were just doing our jobs.
We dropped bombs on their colonies, we seized their stations. We took them fair and square. But they were savage. Our troops landed and they were gunned down by heavy machine guns. Machine guns designed hundreds of years ago! And their designs had stayed the same. Their rifles and tanks were certainly different, but that machine gun, that Browning, had stayed the same. And they screamed at us. They called in close air support, they planted mines, they did everything they could to bleed us dry. We destroyed what the officers said to. We blew up domes. We destroyed train lines. Even those that had nothing to do with the war effort. So what? What's that got to do with us? We did it, but others ordered us to. And isn't it our right as conquerers? We were just doing our jobs.
Their anger only grew worse. As we moved, they continued to throw everything they had at us. Soldiers sacrificed themselves so their fellows could retreat in good order. They did those kamikaze runs they are so proud of. And the prisoners were angry. We gave them supplies, and still they cursed us. We tried to be nice, to compliment them on their skills, and they were silent. They called it "interrogation". We called it friendly chats.
"Why do you force us to destroy so much expensive material? Damage to private property is very uncouth, you know! It's very expensive!"
"You bombed civilian targets!" The fighter pilot snapped at us, "What the fuck are you talking about?"
"Your people use private machinery rather than weapons to fight us! Well you do both, but that's beside the point!"
"We didn't hide troops in civilian domes!" The pilot shouted.
"That was what we were ordered to do. It was not my doing. The commanders simply felt a show of force was necessary."
"Necessary?! You son of a--!" We had to restrain her then.
"What inspires this loyalty?" I demanded, "You fight as though more depends on you than your life! What demands such high sacrifices?"
"If it means beating baby killers!" She snarled, her head pinned by one of my soldiers. She managed to move it, "We'll throw everything we've got at you! Someday we'll defeat you! And then you'll see who's laughing!"
I was flummoxed. "Why do you do this? Why do you fight so hard? You're only doing your job!"
She seemed confused by that. "Of course I am!"
I knelt down to where three of my soldiers held her, "Yes! So why fight so hard? Why do you defy us like this? Why do you make us kill and destroy private property?"
She seemed baffled. "What do you mean? I fight because I'm part of the UN Defense Force! Why else?"
"But you don't need to fight this hard. We fight, one of us loses, we shake hands! That's war!"
She looked befuddled, "The fuck is wrong with you, *bug*? What kinda war is that? Sounds like a slapfight!"
I tried to dumb it down for her. "You plant mines. You set traps. You crash your ships into ours. What kind of war is that? What inspires this loyalty, this desire to sacrifice so much? You are but an employee of your masters. They demand no less than you doing your job, and no more. You do not need to go beyond!"
She confusedly said, "Because that's war, idiot."
By the time we reached the lunar perimeter, our force was battered beyond belief. Forces were still fighting over Mars, and the Mercury and Venus attacks had been blunted. We finally encountered their war fleet. Many of the ships were barely finished. They had been pulled out of the dock yards still with workers aboard. Why was that? Our leader hailed their fleet admiral. He congratulated them for their clever tactics and admonished them for their unsavory techniques. He gave them a list of booty to recover, requested a refuel, and gave them a time frame for when we would be on our way. The war was over, we'd made it to their homeworld. This is how the great competitive wars are always done. Something about this confused the Admiral. "This isn't a game!" They spat. "War isn't defending dots on a map! It's death! Vast organized death! Are you telling me you came all this way for FUN?!"
"No, we came here to see who is better."
"That's the same thing."
"No it isn't." Our leader said dismissively. He paused, "Tell me, what inspires this loyalty in you? Aren't you just doing your jobs?"
"What?"
"You're just following orders. So are we. What inspires this unthinking, undying loyalty? You're just following orders, as all civilized beings should. We are just following orders." The comm line went dead. The humans unleashed a terrible display of firepower. They learned a long time ago that loyalty is not simple deference. And that war is more than just orders, it is not romantic.
War is not a game to them.

I need more siblings! reader and ONE PIECE character head cannons
A/n I’m tired and there’s probably a bunch of mistakes but I don’t care lol- I just need more found family stuff- this is the first time I’ve posted anything like this so yeah! Please tell me if there’s any mistakes or stuff I’m not to familiar with tumblr so I don’t know how to make it look nice :P
Whitebeard pirates
Like imagine being the youngest in a crew; you call white beard ‘gramps’ instead of pops. And he constantly dotes on you and tells you stories of his past adventures
Depending on how old you are (10-13), he encourages you to explore, isn’t offended if you want to travel the world someday on your own, and doesn’t want you to feel pressured by the white beard name. Probably tells you lots of stories and gets his sons to help teach you how to sail and learn different things to see what you are interested in.
* (14-16) if you decide to sail on your own, he’s happy and supportive! You’ll probably find that someone from the crew isn’t *too* far behind you, though, always making sure you are safe and out of trouble. If you decide to stay with a white beard, it’s a fight between the division commanders to see who gets you in their troop!
* Just-
* Father figures Marco and thatch-
* Thatch is always trying to one-up Marco and teach you cooking, while Marco wants to introduce you to medicine-
* Extensive cuddle sessions cause you fall asleep????
* Big brother! Ace who is over the moon with having a little sibling, telling you stories about him when he was younger and his brothers
* Brother! Ace is always helping you with pranks and Shenanigans
* And don’t even get me started on the boys protecting you if need be-
* I can imagine white beard having you stay on the ship in case of a battle, but if it’s like a thing where you're on an island and suddenly get swamped by marines, I can imagine
* Ace is coming to rescue you while Marco checks you over for injuries
* Just feeling so protected by your found family and thatch carry’s you back to the ship on his shoulders
Straw hat pirates
* I can see this going a few different ways- so I’m going to do it based on characters rather than scenarios-
* Luffy was used to being the youngest sibling- but being older than you and your captain ignited a special spark in him
* Will goof off- but safely? If that makes sense??
* Like walking on the railing of the sunny but his arms are around your waist to make sure you don’t fall-
* Sneaking into the kitchen to get snacks and he goes first, so if Sanji and Nami set up a trap, he gets stuck instead of you-
* Will make sure your hold on him is secure before he slingshots ya’ll anywhere
* Also!!! Special hat privileges???
* Seeing you in his hat reminds him of when shanks gave the hat to him when he was a kid- and he understands why shanks gave him the hat kind of?
* Feels like he’s passing on the torch :)
* Zoro is the protective level headed older sibling
* Not afraid to tattle to Nami if he catches you stealing from the pantry-
* Definitely a tough-love kind of brother-
* But when ya’ll are in town or on an island, he lets you hold his hand and guide him (even if you probably get him just as lost as he would have gotten you-)
* Makes sure you know how to take care of yourself in a fight if he isn’t there to protect you, which is RARE-
* If ya’ll are on the ship and you need to nap? Go to this man right here-
* Big brother cuddles are top-tier.
* Fights with shitty cook over who’s the best big brother-
* I feel like Sanji, Nami, and robin will make all kind of act similarly to a crew member who they see as a little sibling
* Spoilers but their childhood?
* Not good-
* They’re going to make sure you get the best out of your childhood- be its fantastic food and sweets from Sanji
* Learning about your special interests and gardening with Nami
* Or braiding robins hair and telling stories
* These three are the best to go to when you want to feel like a kid instead of a pirate.
Warlords/yonkos
* Mihawk is a dad
* Living up to his dilf reputation (those are head cannons for another day-)
* I can imagine he doesn’t show outward praise- so sometimes, as his kid, you kind of feel like he doesn’t care(?), but in reality, he does, shows it differently
* Did you master a new sword move? He may not pat you on the head or say a good job, but his affection and pride will come the way of
* Taking you to the local village and trusting you to run around and buy things without supervision
* Making your favorite meals
* Easing up on your chores around the castle
* Small but meaningful things like that
Red haired pirates
* …
* I haven’t seen the film red- so-
* Bare with me-
* Being the youngest on the red-haired pirate's ship is like having a bunch of cool uncles who act way too stupid for their age-
* You’re probably the most mature person on the ship despite your age, thanks to benn single-handedly making sure you didn’t turn out like your captain.
* Tbh Benn probably didn’t let shanks interact with you much till he was SURE you wouldn’t imprint on him as some other rubber child has done in the past
* He doesn’t want you to try and stab your eye out.
* Shanks himself is probably the worst when it comes to teasing, be it your height, age, inexperience- literally anything- but he definitely is the person to go to if you need a place to hide/vent
* He knows how to comfort people, so he can tell when you need him in a silly mood or a serious mood. He tries to be more attentive, learning from his past mistakes with other children
* His cape is a 10/10 hiding spot if needed

30 Days of Artihunter Complete!
Below the cut would be a side diary on the thought process of each day- how I felt during the time and what made me decide to draw the ship in that portrayal. It would also contain some deep thought messages of how I feel I suppose.
Tumblr media
Day 1 revolved around me thinking quickly on this idea- that it is pride month and its their time to shine again. What is anything more appropriate than the first art style I drew Rain world in for the first day? I've thought of the roses of explosion spears.
I was feeling creatively driven on this day- wanting to use my painterly style but with not exactly my designs- I also want to mimic how they appear in the game more.
Purple, orange, yellow. Great colors. I'm a sucker for citrus and sunset palettes.
Was feeling lazy this day, but also experimental. Some people saw this piece and thought that the shelter is the tent- that's actually just the entrance. The "tent" is a carpeted roof to the entrance, and the two are enjoying the light rain or the start of it before they head in to the actual shelter. At some point in the future I should design more unique shelters and entrances.
Around the time, I was listening to The Cardigans. Sometimes Youtube gives me sped up versions where the thumbnail has a cute stuffed animal or character. It reminds me of the Sylvanian Family toy series. My very first Artihunter-related commission was the two in pretty dresses with the pups, so I was reminiscing on that too.
Tumblr media
I was feeling sleepy so I wanted to draw the two comfortably. I think I was in the mood to draw a wrinkled blanket.
When a character kisses another, it leaves a heart. This is not usually lipstick but rather just an evident smooch mark. You might've seen a similar thing in the newest picrew. Yes- those are smooch marks!
Felt stylistic. Wanted to be different I think. This was the first daily artihunter piece Videocult retweeted. I'm not sure if they realized but whatever floats their boat. I was really fond of how people draw Artificer as this rough, scraggly, rat coyote thing, so I wanted to draw it my way.
It was at this point I realized my daily artihunter hasn't shown the one aspect of their relationship- that they both are fighters and relish on the violence. I drew them fighting a vulture because of Hunter's expedition: Birdwatching
I think... I was feeling sad this day. You'll see this pattern soon in the future days.
Tumblr media
I was feeling violent. I wanted to draw gore for once.
I was browsing through twitter and found funny slugcat GIFs and drawings where the slugcat is shaped like some sort of long stringbean. This would be one of the few pieces where it involves another character unrelated to the two.
I think I was on a manic state this day- feeling silly.
Then the silliness crashed down from... something. As the days progressed, my anxiety attacks would worsen and be evidently consistent throughout (and as of writing I still have them, but to a lesser extent at least). This would continue until around day 26. But as of this day, I wanted to show my arti's caring side, comforting hunter.
Amidst an anxiety attack, I wanted to draw them as beans in reminiscent of the specific style of an artist whose small doodles make me smile and laugh.
Tumblr media
I think I was feeling empty headed for ideas on this day, so I looked at the rain world art tags for inspiration- it just hit me that I could also draw other artist's depictions of artihunter, so I drew them in one of my styles. Maybe someday I will do more of this. I hope the other rw artists don't find this weird.
I've randomly thought of shovel knight and thought about how cozy the campfire cutscenes were. I wonder if shelters could have ventilations to warrant a campfire inside. It would be nice I think.
It was father's day. This is not a genderbent drawing- I just wanted to draw them in different colors and wearing cool ties, while receiving mugs that call them dad. That's about it. If you think about it, I think arti and hunter would get a maximum of four mugs per year for each- on mother's day, on father's day, on their birthdays, and on rain world's version of the winter holidays.
Butch sapphics/lesbians. I was humorous.
I was feeling upset and certainly riddled with the anxiety and restlessness. I just wanted to draw the family at peace.
Tumblr media
I was curious on my friends' input on what prompt for this day, so I asked them what should the two be doing. Several of them gave different answers, so I combined all of them.
I was feeling terrible but I wanted to push forward with the daily artihunter. Their arms have bruises here but they're holding on- just like what I was going through that day.
Anxious, again. I wanted to draw them resting closely. I think I was touch starved.
I wanted to cheer myself up so I went around for memes on tumblr and saw one I found funny and could fit my vision (er- one of my visions) of the ship. I found the sunstone dialogue at the back to replace the dialogue of Hatred a genius move and I'm glad I cracked people up with that detail.
People seemed to like this one- I was feeling painterly that day. Arti's kids are part of their life, and now they're part of Hunter's. I think Hunter would be a great mumdad.
Tumblr media
I think... It was around this time my anxiety attacks started to leak out and break open completely. There was a lot of buzz. I was restless. Uncomfortable. Spiraling. People left and right trying their best to comfort me, and then finally the people who helped me snap out of it out of reasonable concern and grips on reality. I'm quite ashamed of being that, but I think at this time, I finally learned how to slowly breathe again. I felt mellow. I drew them as tomatoes with iterator farmers.
I wasn't feeling sad. More like tired. I had school all day until late at night and I had no time to make the drawing, so I made something relatively simple.
I planned this prompt for a while- I wanted to draw them in their wedding wear. The complexities are the exchange of the simplicity for the day before. I at times still cringe at the wedding comics, but they were fuzzy. I think they should slow dance after everything they been through. I think they should hold each other gently until their next stressful moments come. I think they should be happy.
A round about way of compiling most depictions I have of the two. Its funny I always draw their anthro versions taller than the other portrayals, but thats the vibes. They all each have different ways of showing affection. They all each have different experiences despite being similar to one another. Yet they're all the same persons at the source.
Today was polarizing. There were a lot of things I did not expect. A rollercoaster of emotions. But somewhere in there of the today, even with the tears on my face, the throbbing headache and the shaking hands- I was happy. I should acknowledge that I have accomplished another of what appears to be another consistent art month, with absolutely no missed days. I wanted to make it off with a bang- something reminiscent of one of my first artihunter drawings. I shall rest, but I'll see everyone in the fields of Art Fight, where I will smile once more to hopefully live up to my prime and focus on what's important to me in drawing.
With pride month ending, I would like to thank my friends and the rw community for being supportive of my barbie playhouse. 5 Months went by so fast, so many episodes and mistakes but I march forward, evolving and fluctuating, learning. There were things that meant a lot to me and are significant that is considered otherwise by others.
Some people will look at this- all that I've done- think its crazy, maybe unhinged, think I have made them with the intent of malice. Maybe I have not done enough. Maybe I misrepresented them. Maybe I was too proudy or ignorant- perhaps all that was true and I didn't know about it until its too late. There is a certain truth in me that it difficult for me to explain to others and there are some things I think about that don't need sharing.
I wish I wasn't so sensitive to everything but me frolicking about with whatever I want to draw contradicts it. It makes me want to step down or run off to a new quieter place- a new account to disguise myself- but I know I can't let them win that way.
Maybe there are two or more people in me, all conscious. Or maybe I am indecisive and want to explore everything about thing because I love thing and I want to see it in all angles. Whatever I'm doing, I know its out of love and appreciation. I misremember even significant things. I lose myself, but I pick up the pen and draw because its the one thing I know best for myself.
I do not look for validation. I only look for peace. I only look to be comfortable knowing that I'm not making the opposite of peace. I only look to make myself happy.
To the people I've hurt on my journey, the people I've thought fondly of but also fear, the people who hurt me- thank you for being part of my stay in Rain World even if painful and I'm sorry for everything I've wronged you on.
To the people who brought light to me, who tolerated me, who were kind to me, who were patient to me, who didn't mind what and how I was, who encouraged me, who defended me, who talked to me, who shared memes with me, who were calm and honest to me, who acknowledge my flaws, who made me feel safe- thank you. Even if some of these moments were brief. Even if I don't know who or what you are on the other side. Even if something in the future may happen to us. I love you. /p
I say this all with genuine thoughts, and I hope I'm not being emotionally manipulative because I genuinely do appreciate this fandom and I'm grateful that lots of people in it are appreciative of me.
Thank you, again.
P.S. I have realized throughout this month I have worded the drawing artihunter everyday thingy wrong (oops) Well. At least know that I will continue to draw artihunter, and I do not think I'll get tired of the ship and drawing them anytime soon.

Part 2 of my work for @edgeofhopezine! This comic was intended to be longer, but due to time constraints on my end had to be cut short. I hope to someday have the time to sit down and give it the ending it deserves! Script by caitlinscomics (IG) and @waylaed
ID: Two comic pages, in muted yellow and blue tones. The first page has 7 panels. P1: A younger Hermann Gottlieb walks across the J-tech floor, carrying a stack of papers. Captions in Newt's handwriting read: "Herms, (you will allow me one ‘Herms’ today. I guess two) I’ve finally got my assignment today. Kodiak Island, of course, where else? The best part, they moved my ship out up a month! Fair warning, I’m a hugger. Just thought you should know." P2: A younger Newt Geizsler in his mostly packed-up apartment, tying his boots as he sits on his stripped bed. Captions in Hermann's handwriting read: "Newton, Please refrain from future uses of that ‘nickname.’ They make every recruit do sparring exercises. Of which I have a year’s worth more experience than you. Another asinine rule. Waving a stick around has nothing to do with plotting the topography of the Breach. I appreciate the warning. I’ll keep it in mind." P3: Newton is standing at a boarding gate, looking up at the news broadcasting Knifehead's fight with Lady Danger. Hermann's writing reads: "... It’s a challenge at first, gaining your bearings, learning how to operate in such a bizarre setting, but I promise you it’s all very worthwhile. If we’re going to do anything about this crisis, it starts here. I eagerly await your arrival." P4: Hermann is hunched over his dormitory desk late at night, tiredly reading Newt's latest letter. It reads: "I’m about to take off. For the first flight. Of three. Then there’s a boat ride. And another one. You said it’s going to be hard to get used to the way things are up there. Good. I don’t intend to get comfortable. We’re going to do what we said we’re going to do. Change the world, change the system, show them what they’re doing wrong, how to fix it." P5: Newt stands alone at Kodiak's dock, alone. His writing reads: "If we’re going to survive this, we’re going to have to change. Change starts there. And it’s us who are going to do it. One way or another." P6/7: Lots of officers are gathered in a different part of the Proving Grounds, watching a simulated battle. Hermann is among them, looking up anticipatorily and almost hopeful at the training sequence. The second page has 7 panels. P1: Newt is alone in the mess hall, pouring over files and papers with intense focus. P2: POV of the battle simulation. The Jaeger pilots sling a mean left hook at a simulated Axehead, victorious in the training exercise. Text reads: SIMULATION SUCCESSFUL. P3: The simulation room erupts into cheers, Hermann among those celebrating. P4: Newt is arguing with a superior officer, a stern-looking woman in a crisp PPDC uniform.

Bean please spitball with me and think about what a canon divergence where Buggy and Shanks fight never happened would look like.
It’s integral to the story and the characters that those two split up, but let’s just entertain the idea that those two hugged it out crying in the rain for a bit, went someplace safe an when Shanks somberly stated he can’t go look for the One piece just yet, Buggy’s emotions were calm enough that he asked “You’re not gonna do it?” “Not yet…” “When?” “Someday… not yet.” And Buggy shot Shanks a glare but still said “Okay.” What would that be like?
Personal headcanons in no particular order
Buggy isn’t Shanks Co-captain or even second in command. The title he affiliates himself with would most likely be something like “demolitions expert” or “bursar” , but he still has issues with being less than Shanks, so he won’t share a title with him or a position that may indicates he’s “option number two”, so Ben is still the official first mate in a way (it’s more like a shared position between Buggy and Ben tough if you’d be completely honest, but more on that later)
Buggy constantly claims or threatens that he’s gonna get his own ship one day and that he’s only hiding his time. Nobody falls for it anymore.
There is still some of Buggy’s insecurity shining trough and there is lots of conflict they don’t adress, because Buggy STILL wants Shanks to follow their captains wishes but also still wishes HE could have been that person himself. Lots of unresolved angst.
For some reason I feel like he and Ben would get along surprisingly well. Ben being one of the few people except Shanks who can see trough Buggy’s theatrics and knows how to encourage his strengths and compensate his weaknesses, and Ben being someone Buggy legitimately respects and someone he rarely even gets into an argument with. Buggy saying something in response to something Shanks says and Ben agreeing with BUGGY rather than Shanks is actually not that uncommon. There’s lots of times these two actually are the idea guys together… unless Buggy and Shanks are just fighting for fighting sake with each other, in which case Ben will be firmly in possession of the brain cell until these two get their heads running at a normal temperature again.
Buggy and Shanks staying together may make Shanks seem actually a tad more short tempered and quick to annoy than he is in canon, but it’s ONLY with Buggy. There are some deep friendships on his crew, but them not having to split like this just solidified the friendship they had as children. They fight waaaay more over stupid shit than they would in a setting where they reunited after they split, where Shanks usually is the more laidback and forgiving one despite Buggy’s abrasive personality. In this setting Shanks would take almost EVERY single bait Buggy laid out for him, get into arguments over the stupidest shit and do petty stuff to Buggy even if Buggy was actually completely and 100 percent in the right about something. You put these two into a room together and there I’ll just be a point where they are both fighting like dumb teenagers, but it’s clear the only reason they can do so is because they both were dumb teens together and actually know and love each other more than anyone else could even imagine. They rarely think much about how lucky they are to have each other because that’s a constant. It would be like saying “I am glad I can see the horizon.” Because the Horizon is always THERE? You’d only realize something would be missing when you’d realize that there suddenly was too much ocean and somehow not enough sky. It’s something you can’t even wrap your head around and you don’t have to , it’s a rhetorical question. A thought piece to mull about rather than an actual possibility. Pff. Splitting up. In which universe?
You don't get to send me this and kill me, anon. You don't get to do this. Because now I am very soft and also sad because I want these two to be together and happy again. Auch. These are all amazing headcanons and,, It's so real.
Buggy is Shanks' specialest guy, actually. That's his title. They're each other's special guy. The term you were actually looking for is boyfriend, but perhaps it's just my Shuggy heart speaking. Leaving romance aside, yeah, specialest boy. Benn and Buggy get along together because they're actually pretty smart and logical people and since Shanks is more emotion-oriented, they're the ones making the important decisions. Shanks probably ends up choosing where they go next or who they're fighting, but the actual important stuff is carried by Buggy and Benn. Great team. They also complain about Shanks' unhealthy habits together, because in this timeline I think he'd also have some issues. Look at him. He can't be mentally stable.
Shanks and Buggy would be the closest thing ever. And that's dangerous. When they're happy, they're extremely annoying and won't stop pulling pranks on people (Benn) because they're literally 5-year-olds. And when they're angry, they make it everyone's problem. They won't stop arguing for silly things, but isn't that the beauty of trust? They just are so direct with one another. It's a funny picture. They keep saying they can't stand each other and then they will find them sleeping together, tangled up and drunk and quite obviously happy. The thing you said about them,,, Being so used to each other they don't think about how lucky they are,,, Jumping off a bridge, thank you.
Also!!!!!!!! There are a lot of things I want to address, like how they'd deal with Buggy's inferiority complex and the fact that I think Shanks wouldn't stop insisting on sharing the goddamned hat if he's still mad about that. But!!!!!!!! I wanna focus on Uta because that's the thing I often think about when I talk about this AU.
Uta appears in their lives and Shanks instantly goes "No, yeah, we have to keep this child. I am her father now." and Buggy wants to say no, because it's just stupid and dangerous and how are they going to do that being pirates! But,,, Looking at her, Buggy just adores this baby. She's the cutest, brightest thing in the world. Brighter than Shanks. And he just has the need to protect her forever. He thinks about Roger and Rayleigh and, well, huh, maybe they keep the legacy going. With Buggy, I think they would never have left Uta alone and they would've taken her with them. They would've protected her anyway. And she would've stayed being their daughter!! And just,, Just think about Luffy. About Buggy meeting Luffy and Luffy just LOVING his Devil Fruit. Buggy has no reason to hate the kid, either. Buggy just says Shanks is perhaps growing too attached to the bastard. When Shanks loses his arm, he also has to deal with Buggy yelling at him for like a whole month. And then Buggy giving him the silent treatment. And also Buggy throwing knives at him. And Buggy telling Benn to talk with him instead. Buggy just cares so much about Shanks and refuses to admit it out loud. He wants the redhead to apologize for worrying him, but Shanks doesn't do it. He says he's sorry, yes, about worrying him, but he doesn't regret saving Luffy or giving him the hat. Yadda yadda yadda, idiots. They make up.
And idk man I think they would've been such a powerful duo together. Of course they would end up fighting for the issues they have, but,,, Idk. In this timeline, I think they would not leave each other's side. Also, they have a daughter. They are so not leaving Uta until she says she wants to go have her own life.

From nothing to something.
(Sanji x reader, part 3)
part 1 , part 2
Tumblr media
Summary: Ready for the big adventure, Nami and you decided to run a few more errands, asking Nami if she could teach you hor to fight and defend yourself. Little did you know, it wasn’t her that was gonna teach you how to do so.
Word count: 2,5K words.
Content warnings: Mostly fluff, mentions of fighting (practice)
Authors note: The support I got on the last few parts have been amazing, I can’t thank you all enough! Let me know what you think and what you want to see next! Also I have a question. Do you want me to continue this story without uploading other one shots or stories, or make one shots (about other characters maybe?) while still writing this story?
P.S.: Sorry if there are sentences that are grammatically incorrect, English isn’t my first language, so my apologies in advance.
~~—~~—~~—~~
The first night on the ship was a long one to say the least. It took you longer than usual to fall asleep. You’ve never been on a ship before and even though it was still at the dock, the waves kept you awake. It was around 4AM before you drifted off to sleep.
The voice of Nami woke you up. “Good morning sunshine, ready for the big adventure?” She asked while she was already getting ready. “What’s the time?” You asked sleepily while sitting up. She smiled. “It’s 8AM, I need to run a few more errands, want to join me?” She looked at you while she smiled slightly. “Sure, let me get ready, I’ll be ready in 10 minutes?” It sounded more like a question but Nami nodded. “I’ll ask Sanji to prepare some sandwiches that we can take with us.” You smiled back at her. “Thanks Nami, I’ll be right behind you.”
You stood up from your bed, grabbed an oversized sweater and a skinny jeans and got dressed. You quickly combed your hair, put on your glasses and looked into the mirror you had in your shared room. “This will do for today.” You smiled into the mirror before sighing and leaving your room.
You passed the kitchen and went straight to the deck, seeing Nami lean on one of the polls that held up the mast. She smiled and jumped off the ship onto the dock. You followed her lead, tripping and falling. “Totally my intention.” You laughed while you got up and dusted off your pants. “Very smooth y/n, I’m impressed. Can you teach me that someday?” Nami was laughing loudly. You laughed and nodded. “Of course, if you teach me how to fight.” Nami nodded and started walking. “That’s a deal.”
You went to a few shops, gathering the last things you all needed for your big adventure. After dropping everything off at the ship, Nami and you decided to walk around the town for a bit, one final time.
You smiled at everyone you saw and showed Nami everything that meant something to you. She followed you quietly and looked around. “You ready to leave Loguetown?” She asked while you were about to point at your old house. You turned around with tears in your eyes. “Yeah, definitely. It’s just.-” You looked down as one tear escaped your eyes and landed on the ground. “-I-I’m nervous. This is the first time I’ll be leaving this place, the place I have all of my memories and grew up in.” You smiled sadly.
Nami wasn’t the hugging type, but seeing that you had the same feelings as she once had, she stepped forward and pulled you into a tight hug. You smiled into the hug and took a deep breath. Nami let you go after a minute or two and you looked at her. “Thank you Nami, you are amazing.”
You grabbed her hand and walked away, this time for real. You looked back at your house and waved, as if your house would wave back. Nami just laughed as she noticed you weren’t gonna let go of her hand any time soon.
When you arrived back at the ship, you were still holding Nami’s hand. Zoro and Usopp looked at each, very confused of the situation. You and Nami smiled, she let go of your hand as she let you go onto the ship first. “Thank you.” You laughed towards Nami, while you gave her a hand to help her up. She nodded and as she walked by, as to say thank you back. She winked at Zoro and Usopp, creating more confusion.
~~—~~—~~—~~
“Zoro, Nami, Usopp, you know what to do!” Luffy yelled excitedly as he sat down on top of the giant sheep head they had on the ship, meanwhile you were at the back of the ship, looking at Loguetown. “Y/N!” You heard someone yell. You saw your boss standing at the dock. “Good luck and save travels. Keep in touch please?” He yelled. You smiled and before you knew it, you were crying. You blew him a kiss and waved until you didn’t see him anymore.
You were still crying as Loguetown disappeared from your vision. You hadn’t noticed that Sanji was standing a few feet away from you. You smiled and wiped away your tears. You turned around and got startled by Sanji. He chuckled and sheepishly waved. “Hi, I- uh didn’t mean to scare you. Just checking up on you.” He smiled soflty.
You nodded. “I’m okay, thank you Sanji.” You said as you walked past him. ‘If he could ignore you, you could try to do the same, at least for a little while.’ You thought to yourself.
Sanji stood there speechless. He looked at the ocean for a second before lighting a cigarette and taking a big hit, trying to process what just happened.
You walked towards Nami who was busy studying the maps. “This doesn’t make sense.” She mumbled looking up from the maps as you just stood there, trying not to interrupt her. “Need help?” You asked while you took a step closer to look at the maps she had placed on a barrel in front of her. “Yes please.” She smiled.
“See, from what I’m seeing here it isn’t possible to go this way, even though it’s the only way.” She pointed at the map. “Yes but it’s true. I read it somewhere, let me get the book. I’ll be right back.” You said as you hurried into your room. You grabbed a few books and started to browse through them. “Here it is.” You mumbled to yourself as you closed the book and made your way back to Nami.
You made your way back and opened the book next to Nami. “It says here, that it is a mountain of some sorts. There is one way up there and it is very much possible. The only thing we have to look out for, are the stone pillars. If you crash into them, the ship will be destroyed.” You closed your book and looked back at Nami, who looked relieved. “That makes sense. Thank you.” You smiled. “Great, now the reason I came here; When are you gonna teach me how to fight and defend myself?” You looked at her as she stayed silent for a few seconds.
“Well I talked to the boys over there-“ She said while she pointed at Zoro and Sanji who were, at this point basically fighting. “And they are willing to teach you. Well Zoro can teach you how to defend yourself, and Sanji can teach you how to fight.” You looked back at Nami, completely in shock. “You did what?!” You yelled, causing the boys to stop fighting and to turn around.
Nami looked at you and laughed. “They are great fighters, better than I am, so you should be thanking me y/n.” She said winking at you. You dramatically placed a hand on your forehead and sighed. “Nami I thought we were friends!” This caused her to laugh. She pushed you into the direction of Sanji and Zoro and smiled. “You’ll be alright. Tell me everything tonight.” You gave her a nasty glare and with that you made your way to them.
“Hi.” You said towards Zoro and Sanji, once you stood in front of them. “I heard Nami asked you both if you could maybe teach me how to fight and defend myself, so here I am. Sorry that Nami asked you, I would’ve done so myself if-“ Zoro interrupted you by chuckling. “You don’t have to be nervous waiter. Sanji is going to teach you the basics about fighting and he’s going to see what your specialties are, when you know the basics, I’ll take it from there, maybe teach you some sword fighting as well.” Zoro said nonchalantly while completely ingnoring Sanji.
You smiled and thanked Zoro as he walked away. You looked back at Sanji who just stood there, smiling. “Lets start tonight, after dinner.” Sanji suggested while looking at you for any hint of comformation. You smiled slightly. “Great.”
Sanji smiled and threw his cigarette away. He was almost at the door of the kitchen when he turned around. “Put on some warm but comfortable clothes Mademoiselle, I’ll take care of the rest.” With that he disappeared into the kitchen.
You looked back at Nami who was smiling and holding up both of her thumbs. “Seems like you got a date y/n.” She said teasingly. You rolled your eyes and walked towards your shared room. “Sure Nami, keep dreaming.” You said back. Luffy sho was still sitting on the sheeps head turned around. “Y/n got a date? With who?” He asked to Nami who just laughed.
~~—~~—~~—~~
You were mentally preparing yourself for tonight. You already gotten ready; Now wearing some jogging pants, a croptop and over that, a hoodie. You put your hair in a ponytail and kept your glasses on for now. You were in the hammock, trying to relax a bit. You closed your eyes and accidentally fell asleep
You woke up an hour later, looking at the clock. 5:47PM. You sighed and got out of the hammock. You put your shoes back on and headed into the kitchen. Nami, Luffy and Sanji were there. You smiled and took a seat next to Luffy.
Luffy was extra smiley and jumpy around you. You ignored it while you got a drink. “So y/n. You got a date?” Luffy asked while you took a sip of the drink, startling you while you spit out your drink. You glared at Nami sho was crying of laughter. “N-no? Did Nami tell you that?” You asked confused, trying to figure out how he could’ve heard something like that.
Sanji who was getting the plates ready, smiled to himself. Luffy laughed. “That doesn’t matter, Just tell me who the lucky one is!” He yelled. Zoro and Usopp entered the kitchen, after hearing Luffy yell. “Great.” You mumbled to yourself as you took a seat next to Luffy again. “It isn’t a date Luffy. Just quit it already.” You almost pleaded, now slightly blushing. Luffy quickly dropped the subject as Sanji handed everyone their plate. You silently thanked him and he winked at you, causing you to look at your food immediately, ignoring his gaze.
Everyone was talking and enjoying dinner. You kept silent for most of the conversations, only awnsering when someone asked you something. Usopp told insane stories, occasionally causing everyone to roll their eyes but you were mesmerized by everything he told the group. Sanji was looking at you from the other side of the table. Every once in a while you caught him staring and quickly looking away but you didn’t think much of it.
~~—~~—~~—~~
You stayed in the kitchen, helping Sanji clean. The faster Sanji learned you the basics, the quicker it would be done. Sanji grabbed a few water bottles and a some towels and looked at you. “Are you ready mademoiselle?” He slowly asked you. You smiled. “As ready as I can be.” Was all that you could say.
“Okay so first of all, is that I’m going to find out what your specialties are and what you are most comfortable with. We will work from there. If there is anything that you’re not comfortable with or if I’m ever huring you, you have to tell me. Okay love?” He said while guiding you towards the upper deck, placing everything down. You noticed that he tried to avoid your gaze. You stayed silent and once again nodded. “You have to use your words darling.” Sanji said turning around and now standing a few feet away from you.
“I-I understand.” You shakily said. Sanji smiled. “Good. Okay so to determine what you already know, I want you to attack me, as if we were fighting. Show me what you got sweetheart.” He said grinning. You sighed and took of your glasses. “Okay, just know, I never fought anyone.” You sheepishly said, placing your glasses down on one of the towels.
You charged towards him, before trying to punch him. When he blocked you, you immediately kicked him, causing him to lose his balance. You smiled and continued. It got heated in a matter of seconds, before he grabbed your arm and tripping you. You almost hit the deck as he pulled you back up, into his arms. “That was pretty impressive darling.” He panted as he let you go.
After a few hours teaching you how to perfect your punch and kick, you sat down and took off your hoodie, leaving you in your crop-top and jogging pants. You drank some water and stood up again. Sanji took off his coat and tie and also drank some water.
“Ready to try again? You’re getting better each time love.” Sanji smiled. “You must have a great teacher.” He cockily added while wiggling his eyebrows. You laughed and nodded. “Zoro is great indeed. I’ll make sure to tell him that you said that Sanji.” Sanji sighed and looked at you, somewhat defeated.
Once again you lost the ‘fight’. Even though you were sad about constantly losing, you learned a few new tricks and started to get your kicks and punches under control. One time you got close to winning, but nevertheless you still lost.
“Mademoiselle, as much as I enjoy this, I think we should call it a night.” Sanji said sitting down. You sat next to him, slightly leaning against him and nodded, while breathing heavily. “Yeah you’re absolutely right. I’m really tired.” You breathed out.
Sanji unbuttoned his top three buttons, and wiped his face with a towel. “Tomorrow same time?” He asked you while looking at you again. You looked at his, now exposed chest for a second and nodded. “Sounds good to me.” He chuckled. “Eyes up here love.” He teased.
You looked back up into his beautiful ocean eyes and blushed heavily. Lucky for you it was getting darker by the minute so hopefully he didn’t notice. “I could say the same thing to you Sanji, you’ve been eyeing my chest ever since I took off my hoodie.” It was now Sanji’s turn to blush. He looked away and laughed. “What can I say, you’re beautiful. It would be a shame if I didn’t look.” He said smiling.
You felt your heart beat faster and decided to leave before you could embarrass yourself. “Thank you for tonight Sanji.” You got up and grabbed your hoodie. He followed your lead and grabbed the empty water bottels and towels. He quickly grabbed your hand and kissed it. “Sweet dreams my love.”
You smiled at him and a yawn escaped your mouth. “Goodnight Sanji, sweet dreams.” You walked back to your room, seeing Nami wide awake in her bed. “Tell me everything.” You laughed and got ready for bed, while explaining every single detail.

The Art Of Stupidity (Peter Quill x Fem!reader)
In which Peter nearly gets killed because he's a dumba** so you do a lot of screaming at him.
Warnings: swearing (whaa ikr?) Injury, insult to injury, Rocket being himself, Peter being an idiot (aka himself) mebbe some slight foreshadowing for vol. 3 but it ain't a spoiler if you don't think too much about it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Rocket, where's Peter?" You gasped.
In your glorious retreat back to the Bowie, you'd lost him in the chaos that he caused. How does the idea of stealing a heavily secured antique piece of junk sound now?
"He had to go and get the damn Zune he dropped in the hallway of that security station."
"He told me he was down to one blaster!?" You shrieked, realizing that this was not, in fact, going well.
"And he's the lazy asshole who didn't charge them up!"
"You didn't think to, I dunno, COVER HIM?" You flapped your arms in disbelief.
"Hell no, you're the girlfriend!." The insufferable Raccoon snarled. "If you wanna go get Star munch, he's all yours missy."
You muttered under your breath as you turned to go get your boyfriend. "That stupid Zune is gonna be the death of him someday I swear. Thanks a lot, Yondu."
You readied your blaster and dodged bullets in the space between the ship and aforementioned security station, before kicking the door open to find an incredibly absurd sight.
The Doobie Brother's 'What a Fool Believes' blasted from the ridiculous object he went back for, as he was trying in vain to fight off the security droids. Sighing, you stepped in and blasted to your heart's delight, until the two of you (or, mostly you) successfully eradicated the rest of them.
"Thanks, babe." Peter offered a sheepish smile and you just rolled your eyes in frustration.
"Let's go before these guys blow a freaking hole in our ship!" You growled.
His eyes widened and the smile dropped. "Ohh ok yeah you're like really mad."
Once again you we're crossing the distance back to the ship, only this time, you didn't dodge one of the bullets as it lodged itself in your calf. You were already frustrated beyond rational capacity, and physical pain just added insult to injury. But you were too hyped up on adrenaline to care. Tumbling into the ship, Peter in tow, you sat down and glared.
He wasn't sure whether to apologize or leave you be, when he noticed your leg trembling. That's when your world went fuzzy and you sorta just, checked out of reality while somehow staying conscious.
"Shit! I need a med pack and a pair of tweezers." He hollered for anyone in earshot as the ship lifted off and set out for Knowhere. Soon, the bullet was pulled out of your leg and the med pack placed over the hole.
And this...this, is where you snapped back to reality.
"You asshole!" You screamed, "You could've gotten yourself killed!"
Kraglin, who had brought the medical supplies, just cringed and stepped away, leaving you two alone.
"I'm sorry, y/n..."
"Sometimes I feel like that stupid thing is more important than any of us!"
You regretted the statement as soon as it left your mouth. The Walkman was one of the only things he had left of his younger years, and when his father had destroyed that, the Zune was all he had left of Yondu.
His eyes fell and your heart broke. He moved to stand up, but you stopped him.
"No—wait. I'm sorry. I shouldn'tve said that. I'm sorry." You repeated.
He relaxed and sat back down, giving you a lopsided apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry I freaked you out. I wasn't trying to get killed back there. I feel like it was my fault that you got shot, too."
"Its fine, baby." You smiled sadly. "If I hadn't been seeing red, I probably would've payed more attention."
The med pack needed a bit more time, and Rocket was calling for him, so he kissed your forehead, then your nose, before finally catching your lips in a sweet, tender kiss.
One that would take priority over anything else.

Someday
pairing: Obi-Wan Kenobi x Fem!Reader
summary: After Order 66, Obi-Wan and Y/N find themselves with a baby.
word count: 964
warnings: cannon order 66 stuff but not graphic, just mentioned
12 Days of Christmas main masterlist
Y/N was running.
She wasn't sure how long she had been running at this point, all she knew was that she couldn't stop. The clones had turned on her - her friends had turned on her. One second, they were drinking after a mission, the next their faces went icy cold and they were reaching for weapons. She had fought them off, hurting them in ways she never wanted to, but she didn't have a choice. They had turned on her so quickly, she didn't have time to think of any other solution. She still wasn't sure there was one, and she's taking the dryness in her throat from the cold air as punishment. She can feel the tears cold on her face as they dried in the wind.
She was heaving breaths, scanning the area for clones. If she saw one, she wasn't sure could fight; she was exhausted and she couldn't handle fighting someone who she was friends with. She barely made it to her ship, where she sent out a signal for Obi-Wan. She hadn't seen him since the night before, when they kissed and said goodbye and never even imagined what would happen within the next day. She had to get up in the air, where the clones couldn't find her.
She didn't know what was going on, why the clones had turned, where Obi-Wan was, what she was supposed to do now. Who could she trust? Who could she reach out to for help? If this was happening to all the clones, who was behind it?
She felt more tears run down her face. She had to risk sending Obi-Wan a message. He knew what was going on. He had to. If he didn't, she could warn him. Just as she pressed record, she saw the time. She had been running for longer than she thought - three hours.
"Obi-Wan," She started as the light shown on her. She was trying to control her breathing, fighting off the tickle in her throat. "I don't know what's happening. One second I was with the clones and the next," She trails off, tears springing to her eyes once more. They were never ending.
This night was never ending.
"I don't know who to trust. Please tell me you're okay. Please," She didn't know who she was begging, but before she could get more pathetic she sent it to him.
She had nowhere to go. She was floating aimlessly through space. All she could think about was the way her friends had looked at her, how they had tried to kill her. She was exhausted. Before she knew it, her eyes were closing and she was falling asleep.
"Y/N, are you there?" Obi-Wan's voice woke her up, and Y/N jolted in her seat. She hadn't been asleep that long, and she immediately answered his call.
"Obi-Wan?" She pressed the button, and she could hear the sigh of relief.
"Oh, thank the Maker you're okay. You're okay." His voice was ragged and she could tell he had been crying.
"What's going on?" She asks, breathing heavily. "I-I was just with the troop, and I," She cries, but she can't finish.
"Go to Tatooine. I'll meet you there." Is all he offers before he's gone, and she feels like her heart is being tore out of her body. The disturbance in the Force is almost enough to kill her as she puts in the coordinates to Tatooine, a place she hadn't been in years. She doesn't want to think about what could be causing the disturbance.
When she lands, she takes time to fly around and find Obi-Wan's ship. She's shaky as she exits, but she runs as soon as she sees Obi-Wan. Just as she's about to jump into his arms, she sees the baby he's holding.
"Who," She starts, feeling out of breath somehow. She can't seem to catch up, her heart somehow working overtime. "Is she," She couldn't finish her sentence, but they both knew she was taking about Padmé. It was the only baby that Obi-Wan would have. And if Obi-Wan had the baby, then something happened to Padmé.
"They had twins." Obi-Wan is looking at the baby, eyes unable to look away. "Did you know they were Anakin's?" He turns to her finally, and she shakes her head. She had a feeling, but Padmé had never told her.
"Where are they?" She asked, but Obi-Wan tilted his head and looked to the side, and Y/N felt more tears prick her eyes.
"I couldn't save them." The guilt was evident on his face, and Y/N put her hands to his cheeks and tilted their foreheads together. "This is Luke. Leia went with General Organa." Obi-Wan whispered. They both looked down at the baby, who was asleep.
"Is he ours?" Y/N asked, heart breaking when Obi-Wan shook his head.
"Anakin had family here," He answers, confirming Anakin's death. She leans back and swallows the tears.
"So he's not ours?" All she wanted to do was give this baby a home. She wants to help somehow.
"Y/N," He starts, face betraying how much he wants the baby as well. "He already has a family." 
"I just," She whispers, one tear falling. "I feel so helpless." Obi-Wan moves one arm to hold her, and she wants to cry even more because it feels so right. She feels like this is where she's supposed to be. 
"I know," He says softly, rubbing her shoulder. She turns to his side to cry into him. "Let's go bring him to his home." He kisses her forehead before they pull themselves together, going to Anakin's childhood home. 
"Maybe someday?" She asks hopefully, afraid of his answer. 
"Maybe someday." He agrees, grabbing her hand with the one that isn't holding the baby. "Someday sounds good."

Sometimes I remember how perfect the ending of Crooked Kingdom was for Kanej
Kaz clearly planned for this moment, even with all the moving variables that could have gone wrong, wanting to give Inej what he could because he wanted it for her. No doubt the time spent after the Ice Court had only solidified that he needed to take the risk to reach out, it even gave him time to figure it all out before he put it all on the line.
It was a perfectly Kaz way of displaying his affection. She had always been a support for him, it was time to do the same for her. It didn't matter that it would only facilitate her departure, because that was already inevitable, so he might as well be part of her start of it.
So, he crafted a meticulous scenario to give him the chance to breach the subject of the future between them which had been looming in the air ever since they had returned to Ketterdam: A ship and a crew to support her new path. Her parents to finally reunite her with what had long been lost. A berth that awaited her whether she decided to use it or not. And his gloveless hands to signify that he wouldn't erase all that had happened between them. He knew he had to lay it all on the line. No barriers, gloves off. She told him as much. He wanted to do as much too.
The fact that at the very same time he is planning all this, Inej was readying herself to let it end as a memory because she wasn't willing to accept all the barriers again after they had broken so many down. LIke she had said before, she wouldn't accept a love at arm's length from him. They were both preparing a good bye, but of different kinds. She was expecting a farewell and a severed tie, he was hoping for good bye with a promise to return if she was willing.
And it all cumulates to such a beautiful moment at the end. Inej approaching with a mindset that Kaz would try to make it business as usual, only to be caught off-guard with his unwillingness to and his gloveless hands that further solidified just that. He opens up instead, let's her know what he wants--- her return, someday. She let's him know what she wants, his help in her fight.
It's such an honest conversation too. Kaz telling her that he isn't good, and Inej telling him that she wasn't asking him to be anything other than what he is. She knew better than to try and change him, she didn't want to change him either, she just wanted to be let in and to let him in in return. She wanted them to be able to help each other and to break barriers caused by trauma along the way.
And then the hands--- the hands.
"Go on," she said quietly, as if she was asking him to continue a story. He wasn't sure he could. But if she could speak those words into the echo of this room, he could damn well try. (ch.26)
Very reminiscent of the bathroom scene, Inej takes the first step --- barely, barely brushing her own against his but nothing more. She was afraid he wouldn't bridge the gap--that he wouldn't take the next step, but she also knew he needed to be the one to do it if it was going to happen. So she waited, and despite every fear, he slowly did take the next step.
He brushed his own knuckles against hers before eventually intertwining their fingers. They even held hands for a long time before even speaking again, contented by this new step into the future ahead of them and just--- what a beautiful moment between them to be able to take steps towards a future together by taking a step towards reclaiming one of the things that had been taken from them--- touch. So much of their respective stories had been about reclaiming what was taken from them in some form or another, after all.
It all closing off with their worlds beginning anew with so much promise ahead--- both individually and together--- was a perfect way to tie it all up for them.
JUST--- what a good ending for us and a beautiful beginning for them <3

Yk, something about my Eddie fell first essay, I never really went like "oh this is something that could be proven right by canon" mostly because when I wrote that I was still dealing with buddie being a distant possibility not something that's so close I can taste, but then Ryan was let out of interview jail. Then I went full conspiracy theorist. (Please note everything from here on out is a conspiracy theory that will most likely never be confirmed or denied so I'll live in it forever) I had made the post about how I think Ryan is playing Eddie as in love with Buck, the question was whether he was being told to do that or he was just playing it up as much as they allowed him to because we know Ryan supports the ship, and then Ryan said the "this goes beyond friendship and I love you to the core" thing.
He said he talked to someone about what it meant for Eddie to do that, because he didn't understand it at first, and then that's the conclusion he reached. But the thing is, that line "I love you to the core" specifically means so much in the context of the season, to say I love you to Buck like that in season 4 is so MONUMENTAL, that I wanna believe one of the writers straight up told him "yo this is a love confession" and explained it to him like that, and he has been playing Eddie with that line in mind ever since, and that's why he had that locked and loaded for the interview. Because, like, I, in my most normal day, am out here arguing they casted Ryan with a plan, even more considering the way Eddie was written for Ryan, they could very much have told him "look, play with the chemistry you and Oliver have, if the audience likes with might amp it up, if we're lucky we might go there someday" because you have moments in season 2, but season 2 is still very low stakes, but then when I think about the the season 3 of it all, the there's nobody in this world I trust with my son more than you, the lawsuit, and well of it all and the way they put Ryan in pr jail after Eddie begins, an episode that would retroactively be HUGE for buddie but it's pretty big for them anyway, I'm like 🤔 because we all saw Ryan talking about buddie this past month, the guy CANT SHUT UP, and if he was told something during season 3 or 4 along the line of "play it up, we are gonna fight to make this happen", putting him in pr jail would make sense, because they can't risk him saying something if they're not sure they can deliver, because how fast they dealt with Buck being bi while in a new network makes me convinced someone on fox was blocking it and nothing will convince me otherwise. But now they can, so they let Ryan run free. Because you can make a VERY strong argument that Eddie is aware of something during season 5 and 6, season 6 most of all, but you can very much make season 5 queer coded and have Eddie be like "oh I can't ignore how I feel about him anymore", because Ryan also said something about Eddie's breakdown and how that's what allowed Eddie to let Buck "know who Eddie truly is" which is interesting with the way Eddie is constructed, because if Buck is inside the last wall Eddie had up, what's actually stopping Eddie to see he's in love with Buck by the end of the season? Which would make season 6 as a pining season for Eddie make sense. Down to the way the cemetery seems to be pulling these very specific reactions from Eddie that are the same reactions we saw him have in breakups and flights with Shannon. But also things like Eddie's reaction to the lightning being something we never saw from Eddie before AND the way Oliver talked about a scene of Eddie losing his composure during in another life, not during in a flash that we didn't get to see most likely because they completely rearranged 6b because they thought they were gonna get cancelled, so they wouldn't be able to deliver what they had in mind. But now they have nothing but time, season 8 is already confirmed, and by the looks of it abc was like "go for it" with buddie in a way that fox never was, so they finally got to tell Ryan "we're doing it, go crazy" and now we are here. They could prove me right today. About Eddie not about Ryan knowing and some secret plan being in place forever. I don't think it's gonna happen. I seriously don't think it's gonna happen. I'd be more surprised to be proved right than wrong here. But the conspiracy theory is a possibility that felt very real for a second there during promo season lol

Thank you for your RPF post. I agree. I wake up thinking of scenarios for DT/MS. They're just there, in my head, being in love and content. And I need them there. I need to know that even middle aged queers can find love, that lives adapt, that finding new love doesn't mean abandoning established love.
I need to see happy, older queers thriving in our bigoted, hateful world. Because I don't get to have that happy ending myself. And because young questioning queers need to see it, know they have a chance. To know that not everyone finds their someone(s) in high school or college. To know that everyone's path and timeline are different.
And MS and DT are such lovely people, inside and out, truly kind and giving and they deserve happiness in whatever shape that takes. It warms my poor, injured heart to see them gazing at one another adoringly, their softness for each other plain on their faces. To see them choose to be in each other's lives over and over. Like, how wonderful! How can someone hate on that? They're little bright spots in my cloudy world.
My shipping them with never affect them. I don't know them, I'm not in their circles, they will never know I exist. If any of them are seeking out the RPF fics, then they are reading them intentionally because they want to. (I'm sure MS has written and submitted some himself based on various interviews over the years.) They aren't fighting allegations of a relationship, they continuously fuel them, even. Something I don't think they'd do if they felt it was harmful to their careers, untrue, or as queerbaiting. They're allies at a minimum, they wouldn't cheapen the lived experiences of other queers for a couple of extra asses in seats at a show.
Anyhow, thank you for your well thought out post and for making me feel seen, even as I hide behind an anonymous ask.
Thank you so, so much for writing this. My apologies in taking so long to respond.
And thank you for saying that my post made you feel seen. I truly appreciate that. RP shippers are the red headed step children in the fandom world. You saying you felt seen by my writing made ME feel seen by your appreciation, and truly by receiving this ask as well.
I agree with you. I have never seen anything so wholesome in my life as the way Michael and David are with each other. They just exude love. It's so pure. I really don't understand the vitriol against it. I mean the majority of our "fuel" comes from them in the 1st place. Plus it's evident when you watch them interact.
I just chalk up the hate to it saying more about them than us.
And yes, of course people can find love at any age and regardless of what state their current relationships are already in. Why should we think they are not with each other because they are each already in relationships? Because they are famous? Because they have kids? That makes no sense. People do it every day.
Yeah no way they are doing this for any kind of "marketing" or whatever, except to provide some kind of narrative that would allow them to hide in plain sight. That way they can be just about as "free" to be themselves and show as much affection toward one another as reasonably feasible. I wish they could feel 100% free to be out in the open with it, but I also realize they probably prefer privacy as well.
I look to them as relationship goals. I hope to someday find someone that I feel as at home with as I believe they feel with each other.

Okay, I’m the anon who did the part 2 for martial artist reader… And I got an idea. Okay, so like what if we have a one person army gn!reader? Like you can just hand them any weapon and they can wreck all enemies in their path? From convenient weapons like swords/spears to even unorthodox weapons like a simple letter opener/butter knife. You know those epic scenes where the character can destroy mountains or cut through giant ships? That’s the reader and they can do that at will. The catch? They might be a powerhouse and can solo a doomsday beast, HOWEVER they are a glass cannon. This is due being a fragile body due a illness. Nothing fatal, but it leaves them sick in bed. So if they push themselves or get hit by a good attack, yeah they are out of the action… Loving your work. Please keep it up. It brings a smile to my day. For this request: Dan Heng, Jing Yuan, Blade, Luocha, Gepard? Can I get an anon nickname? If so can I be called 🐉 Anon?
Cool request, thanks so much! Your kind words mean the world to me!
Welcome 🐉 Anon!
Cw:violence
Dan Heng: Dan Heng has always considered you amazing. I mean. You ARE amazing. You could basically do anything. So the first time he saw you actually take a hit, he thought you’d be able to handle it. But no, you crumpled to your knees, unable to move, gasping for air. So now your secret was out. Dan Heng is more careful around you now. He knows your powerful, knows you can handle yourself, but he’d hate to see you get hurt like that again, so he tends to hover over you when you’re fighting. It’s honestly a little annoying, but you appreciate him and his efforts to help you.
Jing Yuan: Jing Yuan can just tell you have a condition, you don’t even need to tell him. So him and Yanqing are always subtly keeping a close eye on you in combat. Your powers are impressive yes, but he needs you to be careful too. He’d really hate it if you wound up in the infirmary, or worse. So him and Yanqing always fight by your side, so they can protect you, and make your victories that much easier. It’s a system that works pretty well. You only ever got seriously hurt on One occasion, and they were there to save and protect you, so everything worked out.
Blade: is the type to push you to the absolute limit. He wants to see what a superhuman like you can REALLY do. But he really didn’t mean to push you to the point of collapse! He feels a bit…regretful about having to carry you to bed, your exhaustion being his fault. He’d probably never apologize, though you notice he stops asking you to demonstrate your power. And he’s a little more…careful with you. Honestly you miss testing your limits, but you did admittedly push yourself too far with Blade. Which was a little embarrassing, you know you’re better than that. So you continue to train on your own, without Blade. You’ll impress him someday by pushing past your limit and doing something truly incredible.
Luocha: Luocha and you are a good match. You have all the strength and the power to protect the two of you, and he’s determined to find a cure to your disease. The two of you are practically glued together, he spends his time observing you, your fighting style, your condition…trying to find any sort of clue as to what your illness might be, and if there’s any cure. And you focus on fighting, training yourself to push through your illness, despite how much he insists you should instead hold back so you don’t push yourself too far. You agree to disagree on the matter. Eventually he will find a cure to your disease. As a healer and your lover, he’s determined to do so.
Gepard Landau: Gepard and you are literally a perfect pair. He’s naturally protective, and his powers mean he can protect you. The two of you together are the perfect powerhouse, you the attack, him the defense. He’s only ever failed you once, and the sight of you falling to the ground injured is permanently burned into his memory. He won’t let it happen again. He’s Determined not to happen again. You and him both train after that day, to be BETTER, so that that doesn’t ever repeat itself. He’s always got your back, and you know you can count on him to cover your only weakness while you demolish your shared enemies left and right.

we all love avatar/bosch, but i offer you avatar/ed as a concept, because i'm deep in the ship trenches
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ohh! Avatar/Ed is such an interesting ship. and srry for the wait! I didn't forget about you I swear! I honestly thought he would have more fics on tumblr because of how popular he is. And here I thought Bosch was the underappreciated one. Dude barely has 5 fics to his name. Also I didn’t know if this was a statement or a request, so I present you with some headcanons. Enjoy!
Ed doesn't want civilians getting caught in his fight to free people from Shadaloo's experiments. So he tells you that if you stay with him you may regret it.
He’s quite distant and cocky when he talks to people, so expect some push back when you try to get close to him.
That’s kind of expected when he tells you to get lost after you reached your full mastery with him.
He doesn't care about who you used to be or if you have regrets about the past, he only cares about the version of you in front of him. The You now.
His friends are important to him, they're like his family, so he would want you to be on good terms with them before he continues the relationship.
He hides most of his feelings behind a wall, but when he finds people he cares about Ed will develop a soft spot for them.
He's one of those people who can take a punch better than he can take a hug.
But that doesn't mean he'll push you away if you decide to be affectionate with him. He'll tense up at first, then he'll relax once he realizes you aren’t a threat.
Ed would want you to meet Balrog someday, and meet the man that shaped him to be who he is. Well...he'll bring you to him whenever Ed decides to reach out to him.
Every person who wields Physco Power uses it in a way to enhance their own individual skill. So he'll work with you to help you find your unique style to the best of his ability.
As your master and potentially your future bf, he wants to make sure you're not using Physco Power all willy-nilly. It's dangerous and he doesn't want you to get seriously hurt, despite you telling him you can handle yourself.
His observation skills are sharp so he can pick up small things about you that you probably haven't noticed about yourself. Like habits or certain mannerisms.
So he can tell when you really want something when your eyes linger on it for a split second longer. Which he ends up getting for you because he likes to see you smile.
Ed can also see when you want to be affectionate with him in public. He saw you catching glances at his hands when walking beside him. But you tucked your hands in your pockets after a while of contemplating. He reluctantly offered his hand to you, because as much as he hates PDA he likes you more.
He still has nightmares every so often that makes him wake up in a cold sweat, so please hug him and tell him everything's fine.
In SF6 there are hints of corruption in his KO win pose where he laughs manically. He snaps out of it fairly quickly when you point it out and gets ashamed for letting his emotions get the best of him.
As much as a hard ass he is, he appreciates it if you check up on him just like he does with you.
Like that fortune teller said, Ed is scared of losing himself and turning into something else. Would you even recognize him?
He does get concerned if he hasn’t heard from you in a while, which prompts him to go on a full-blown search. Even if you don’t think it isn’t a big deal, he does. So he wants to make sure you’re okay.
If you’re not feeling well mentally, he’ll lend his ear to you. He has his fair share of rough days, but if there’s anything he can do to relieve some of your stress he’ll do it.
On the flip side, he doesn’t want to pick fights with you but it sometimes happens when he gets frustrated. Ed has a lot of burden on his shoulders and it doesn’t help if you’re always sticking your nose in dangerous situations all the time.
He cares, he really does. It’s just that he doesn’t want anything bad to happen to you.
Falke would knock some sense into him if he ever goes too far and forces him to apologize to you. Makes him get on his knees and everything.
Balrog was his unofficial official father figure so Ed picked up on some of his habits later on in life. Good and bad. And his inability to show his emotions without it turning into frustration is one of them.
He’ll try to tone it down for you in the future, but it is something he’s going to have a hard time with, especially since he’s already having an internal conflict with himself on a daily basis.
There are 2 types of kisses I can see him giving: short and abrupt or long and passionate. It depends on his mood and if he’s in public. He would hate to be seen as that couple who can’t stop locking lips at the train station. He’ll get embarrassed.
He would also want to spar against you and help you fix your form when you’re off balance. As mean as it sounds, he’ll make you fall on your ass and tell you to do it again. In his head, he’s teaching you how to be a better fighter. But if it gets too much, tell him. And he’ll adjust his demeanor towards you.
Like those cheesy romcoms. Ed would give you his oversized jacket when it got too cold outside. But don’t tease him too much about it because he’ll threaten to take it back. He won’t.
Ed roams freely at night, so most of your dates will consist of street food and fighting. He also likes to go to the movies with you and watch those shitty horror movies whenever he has downtime.
But ultimately, he’s never in one place for too long. And if you want to keep in contact with him, you better like long-distance relationships.
Because of the distance, he’ll call you at least once a day no matter where he is, because he wants to hear your voice. How’s it been? Are you doing okay? Any assholes giving you shit? Etc.
But similar to his father, if things get too dangerous on his end, he’ll contemplate cutting you off from his life.
He's the type of lover who genuinely wants the best for you, with or without him.

HEADCANON REQUEST: ❝mangaka S/O.❞
Tumblr media
[ Fandom: One Piece ] [ Characters: Trafalgar D Water Law, Eustass Kid ]
「Headcanons of Law snd Kid with a mangaka S/O who ate a devil that gave them the ability to turn parts of someone’s bosy into notebook pages full of secrets and information.」
TRAFALGAR D WATER LAW 
♤ When Law first brought you in, it was only because everyone had spread rumors about how you were a devil. He first met you in your hometown where you were just sitting under the tree and drawing your sketchbook for fun. Of course, Law was intimidating because he was a pirate and you thought that he was gonna rob you. However, after interacting with him for a bit, you grew to like his presence. You loved hearing tales of his adventures and Law seemed to like your company which led him to recruit you.
♤ Even though you helped around the ship occasionally to prove your worth to Law, you wanted to do more than that. Law wasn't really bothered by it, telling you that you didn't really have to do anything but you protested and tried to take on more responsibilities. In the end, he suggested using your drawing skills to illustrate the adventures that the crew had been on. You didn't have that much confidence and rarely showed the crew what you'd drawn. Even Law has never seen your work but he doesn't mind at all.
♤ Law first learns that you had a devil fruit when you fell overboard during a storm and couldn't swim. Eventually, you explained to the crew about your devil fruit and how you're not very fond of using it. You managed to demonstrate it when Penguin and Shachi wanted to see your quirk in action. Even though it was weird to see their own hands turn into a book, they seemed quite amazed at how detailed the contents of the books were.
♤ Now, Law isn't the most open person and he prefers not to tell everyone about what happened in the past. He's not a talkative person either. He's slightly uncomfortable after knowing that you're capable of reading someone's entire past. Of course, he trusts you, believing that you'd never use your devil fruit on him without consent. However, he thinks that its a great ability for information gathering but will never force you to use your devil fruit if you're against it.
♤ Over time, your relationship with Law steadily bloomed into something romantic. You had confided to Ikkaku who only teased you for being adorable and urged you to confess your undying love to your captain—instead of helping you with your predicament. After a long talk with Ikkaku, you eventually decided to take her advice and tell Law how you felt. You didn't expect him to return your feelings but everything worked out just fine and you were officially Law's girlfriend. 
♤ It was a little later that Law discovered your secret manga. You have been drawing it since you started developing feelings for Law and it was something you kept on drawing even after you started dating. He only saw it when you had fallen asleep on your desk. When he walked over to wake you up, he noticed the drawings and how they resembled you and him. You let out a mortified shriek and demanded he looks away. He could only chuckle at your cute reaction, kissing your forehead.
EUSTASS KID
☆ This guy intimidates you. Of course, he does. When he first meets you, he thinks that you're a weirdo, always buried in your little sketchbook. He was initially interested in your drawing skills, seeing how they might prove to be useful someday. Kid sort of just drags you into becoming one of his crew members without your consent. No one expected Kid to be interested in someone like you--no offense. But it was because you were the complete opposite of him.
☆ You definitely do not fit in with the crew. The Kid Pirates were known for dealing with major destruction and civilian casualties. And let's be honest, you've never been in a fight and don't even know how to defend yourself. Even though you looked very out of place, you're always offering the crew a helping hand on menial tasks as if trying to prove yourself to be useful. But Kid always tells you not to worry your pretty little head and just do whatever you want.
☆ The one to fall in love first was you and it takes a while for you to actually win him over. Even though you're the one who fell first, he falls harder. It's a painful experience for his crew, watching the two of you try to impress one another. Kid's confession isn't your usual 'I love you' but more of a 'You're mine, aren't you?!' Honestly, it was just kind of embarrassing because he corners you and confesses to you. He didn't let you go until you tell him how you feel.
☆ Kid is protective and possessive, never the type to shy away from PDA. In fact, he loves flaunting that you belong to him. An arm around your shoulder, having you sit on his lap, kissing you in front of a crowd of people. When the crew is fighting, he's always glancing at you to make sure that you're unharmed. He's much tamer with you, ensuring his tone is a bit softer so you don't think that he's mad at you or anything. Everyone knows that the captain has a soft spot for you.
Finds out you have a devil fruit when you were knocked overboard during a scuffle with the marines. Thanks to Kid being observant and quick decision, you were pulled out of the water in no time. He kind of yells at you for not telling him that you had a devil fruit, throwing a tantrum like a child he is. And all you could do was mumble how you don't really like using it before showing the whole crew what you could do. 
☆ Teases the shit out of you the moment he sees what you've been secretly working on the entire time. He will hold the book above your head while you attempt to reach for it. But how could you when he was just so much taller than you are? Once he skims through it, he finds himself smiling at the drawings, you drew almost everything. The dates you went on together and the secret getaways, he finds it all drawn there.
