I love you Going Merry pt. 2 (+ Merry's klaubatermann)

I like to think Nami was the closest to Merry alongside Usopp and Luffy. Especially setting sail for the first time after she's free from Arlong... 🥲

@wyvernslovecake Cross guild crossover!!

me n my cross guild seraphim dreams

[cryingpariah]

Okay but the fact that Gabe has the Glorp-Glorp Fruit means that he has green blood made from Prince Grus's lineage factor.

PRINCE Grus.

He really is a little prince, it cannot be denied! 😭😭😭

This also may be why Gabe is fond of potato chips and dancing.

(Speaking of, Prince Grus's whole ass name and his favorite food may in fact be a reference to Pringles which is romanized as Puringuruzu. Japan apparently really loves Pringles.)

(Side note but wouldn’t it be funny if Prince Grus wasn’t actually royalty and Prince was just his last name? He just acts like a snooty royal for no reason!)

In the pretty unlikely event of the two meeting I don’t think Grus would like Gabe 😭😭 I mean we all saw the salty shade he was throwing Koby, the golden boy!! He’d probably think of Gabe as a slightly shorter Koby that commits crimes. Don’t even get him started on the differences between their abilities! How dare this child have colour creations while he, the original, doesn’t not! It was completely ridiculous!

I don’t think he’d be outright rude though, just haughty and uninterested while lightly seething on the inside while Gabe yaps on about their shared devil fruit and how they’re both princes and is your hat super long because it’s your crown or-

HELLO BENN BECKMAN

[cryingpariah]

Dragon losing track of Sabo early in his time with the Revolutionaries only to hear the shattering of glass as he spots the kid rushing out of what has to be the snootiest upper-crust restaurant in this city balancing several plates of food and laughing like a little hyena cub as the owner is cursing after him.

He's barely paying attention as Hack scolds him for being so reckless and offers Dragon a chicken leg with that big gap-toothed smile that melts Dragon's heart every single time he uses it. But it brings to mind memories of Dadan doing dine-and-dashes back before she settled permanently into the Monkey D home. In fact, he could have sworn he saw Sabo using the exact same balancing trick she did.

What a bizarre coincidence.

“My older sister would have adored you.” He tells Sabo once they get safely out of the restaurant owner’s reach. The usage of past tense is strictly for the sake of safety, even though it leaves a bad taste in his mouth.

Ah well… the chicken helps cover it.

“You had an older sister?” Sabo asks, looking up at him with those uncannily big, flint colored eyes.

“I did. She used to go around and dine-and-dash ritzy places like that all the time, even roped me into it a couple of times. She grew up to be a bandit, if you can believe it.” He tells the boy, in between bites.

Kid had even chosen one of the better bougie places, considering the chicken was actually seasoned decently. The mark of a practiced little con artist…

Yes, Dadan would adore this kid.

“What happened to her?” The little blond asks, tone careful. There was a lot about him that was careful when it came to speaking to authority figures he was familiar with.

“There was a fire. Not too sure how it happened, but I’d already been long gone by the time it did…” he could practically feel Dadan yelling at him all the way from Dawn for this.

“I’m sorry…” Sabo says, shuddering. Fire had been the only thing he remembered of his old life, it seems. They were still working with him on managing his pyrophobia.

“She lived a dangerous life, but it brought her joy.” Is all he says in response.

And then he eats the newly picked clean chicken bone because he can. Very little goes to waste when one is partially a vulture.

Sabo’s melancholy quickly switches to horrified intrigue. And then laughter. Mission accomplished.

Galdino: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You can't put this kind of responsibility on me! I don't have the experience, the skills, or the authorization! This is far out of my paygrade!

Gabriel: Baba and Daddy are busy, Papa's cooking, and Mohji's taking Richie for a walk. Somebody has to braid my hair!

Galdino: And what makes you think that somebody has to be me specifically?

Gabriel: *points to the number 3 made of hair and contradictions*

Galdino: *sighs* Fair point. I'll give it a go. But I want forgiveness in advance and a guarantee that Crocodile won't skewer me if things go haywire.

Gabriel: He won't!

[[later]]

Gabriel: *flapping up to Crocodile with his hair tied in a number 6 at the top of his head* Baba! Baba! Look at my haaair! 😁

Crocodile: *grinning blandly while making eye contact with a sweating Galdino* Ohhhhh, I'm looking.

[cryingpariah]

Jackie: Finally! How come whenever you want to leave it’s immediate but whenever I want to leave-

Big News Morgans: WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME I HAVE A BUMP ON MY BEAK?!

Jackie: 🤨🤨 I've never noticed a bump.

Big News Morgans: Do not play coy with me young lady!

Jackie: *wistful sigh* I was never any good at playing coy 😔😔 I was always last pick during gym class 😔😔

Big News Morgans: Why did I take in such a sarcastic little shit again?

Jackie: Because. Also still not seeing this supposed bump.

Big News Morgans: *walks into elevator* Do not patronize me! If there is something wrong that I am not aware of, you owe it to me as your boss and guardian to tell me!

Jackie: Really? Alright then! *walks into elevator* You’re a narcissist, you’re a sociopath, you’re probably a psychopath, you’re a-

[the elevator doors close and reopen on the ground floor.]

Jackie: You’re sadistic, overly critical and you make fun of the elderly.

Big News Morgans: Those are just quirks! Endearing quirks! I’m talking about the big picture stuff Jackie!

Jackie: Of course, how silly of me..

Elevator Worker:

Shriek: Hey, Patience, remember what you were saying about a watched pot not boiling? *squeezes the paw of her Patience panda doll*

Patience Panda: "A watched pot never boils! 😃"

Shriek: Yeah, that. Well, I've been looking away from the pasta hot for nine whole minutes and I don't see any results! What gives? *squeezes Patience Panda's paw again*

Patience Panda: "Patience is a virtue! 😃"

Shriek: *charging up her Electro* Not right now it isn't. 😐

Killer: PUP, NOT AGAIN!!!

[cryingpariah]

Since Shriek loves the Nightmare Critters and Gabe the Doughman exist, do the other Seraphims have some of the Playtime catalog? I can totally see Monty loving his Kissy Missy doll! Or Nemo jamming out on Pianosaurus! Oh and Jinta just can’t go to sleep without his best pal Yarnaby keeping the nightmares at bay!

I'm assuming Playtime Co's not doing much human experimentation in this universe since we already have the World Government for that.

The Seraphim are fans of the Nightmare Critters too, Thea and Shriek even both having Rabie Baby as their favorite! Gabe loves Allister Gator and Gryphon's more of a Poe fella. The Donquixote preference for glitzy gold means Simon Smoke and Ashken likes Baba Chops! Jimmy's more of a Bobby Bearhug cyborg and of course Jinta would never warna-by without Yarnaby!

Not only does Nemo love Pianosaurus, but because this is a universe that actually likes dinosaurs, there's an entire toy line of Dinostruments for the other kids to jam with! I imagine they'd be similar to Gamerjoob's what-ifs for various members of Pianosaurus's band that he was in before the asteroid hit~🎶

Monty loves Kissy so much that he nearly awakened his Devil Fruit from all the screaming he did when her arm got torn in the woods by accident.

Young Usopp: What’s this?

Young Kaya: Buttered Toast?

Young Usopp: It’s amazing! I’ve never had anything this good before *Munches quickly*

Young Kaya: Would uh…would you like mine? *Holds out her toast*

*Usopp snatches the toast like a feral rat and chows down*

Young Usopp: I wonder if my dad will bring me good stuff like this when he comes back

Young Kaya: Maybe

Kaya was really worried about her new friend.

He was nice, funny, a truly bombastic presence in her life she didn’t know she had so badly wanted (there are only so many piano and etiquette lessons one can take) but he worried he deeply. For all his larger than life (and taller than tall) tales he told, was a simple square of wheat bread really the best thing he’d ever had? She certainly hoped that was a joke but the sparkle in his eyes upon that first bite felt very real…

He must have noticed her concern because he immediately into a spiel about how “You can’t always get civilian food on the high seas! A pirate's diet is full of all sorts of exotic stuff! My dad's probably gonna bring me a whole sea king when he gets back!”

The ‘Fearless Leader Captain Usopp’ as he called himself (Kaya just called him Usopp) talked about his dad plenty, slipping him inbetween stories of swashbuckling and high flying adventures. Kaya's parents often left too but never without telling her and they always returned…but then again pirates never followed rules.

In the meantime though..maybe she’d ask the cook to make her extra toast next time, there were plenty of civilian food he should get to try. She wondered if he’d like peanut butter and jelly…

@mjrtaurus @wyvernslovecake @mangyraccooon 🌟 REPTILIAN ONE NIGHT STAND 🌟

In relation to the Crocomom Theory… after realizing both Crocodile and Dragon are reptiles, I just couldn’t help myself…

Have this silly little comic.

They’re lucky their son is the protagonist.

Now trivia time:

Crocodilians are relatively distant from lizards in the philogenetic tree. They are more closely related to birds (birds are dinosaurs) than they are to lizards.

So you know what that means? Crocodile might have not worried about Dragon, but maybe he would have with Doflamingo or Mihawk, who are popular candidates for his pairings. Hehe.

Anyway, I just wanted to make this monkey being born from an egg made by a crocodile and a komodo dragon joke.

And what makes it even better is that a monkey being born from an egg is not unherad of. That's how legendary figure Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, was born, after all.

Everything works in favor of Crocodile being Luffy's dad. I want to believe.

Sanji Week Day 1: Memories

[cryingpariah]

Was thinking back to your Birkan and Lunarian post today and it gave me the realization that just about all of the Seraphim are hybrids. Obviously, they're all half Lunarian but not all of them have purely human halves.

S-Snake is half-Kuja which seem to be a different type of human considering how they only ever give birth to females who become Kuja themselves and are innately more intuitive when it comes to haki.

S-Shark is half-fishman, obvi.

S-Bear is half-buccaneer, again obvi.

Moria's seraphim may be half ancient giant, since Moria always seemed like he's had ancient giant blood what with his size and natural horns.

That leaves S-Hawk, S-Flamingo, and S-Crocodile as the only ones who are half human.

Except not so in Free Seraphim AU bc Gabe is a quarter fishman just like Crocodile! It's where they both get their sharp teefies from.

Funnily enough I was originally going to include the Seraphims into the post but it was easier to just focus on Urouge's role.

It hasn’t been very long since we've last seen the Seraphims (or specifically S-Hawk, S-Snake, S-Bear and S-Shark) so I’m not exactly expecting them but we haven’t gotten our proper introduction to S-Crocodile, S-Bat and S-Flamingo which I could totally see being Elbaf! S-Bat in particular is intriguing due to the assumption of having ancient giant blood which coupled with Lunarian level defences and a DF should make him a tank of a little lad! I do think he’d be an important piece to the puzzle of solving the rampant bigotry towards the ancients the modern giant society has!

(I do also S-Hawk's human half because Mihawk is definitely very…very yknow? Plus those eyes can’t just be for good character design, especially with its similarities to Imu!!)
