:0! Original work? What’s it about, if you wanna talk about it?

Sure! This might be a little jumbled since it's still in a concept stage, but this is the rough idea.

It's about a family going on vacation together in an RV, but when they turn down a road, they get stuck in a time loop. Everything on this road is trying to kill them, and everytime they die, they get reset back to the beginning with their memories.

The monsters at first don't appear to have any knowledge of the resets, but the further they get down the road, the more intelligent and dangerous the creatures get. Once they start having human levels of intelligence, they do start to remember the resets, so tricks that worked on them the first time won't work on the next try.

And since this loop only resets when everyone dies, it creates a moral dilemma when only some die. Do they all step outside the RV and let themselves die to get the others back just in case the exit is right around the corner? Or do they take the risk of pressing on to see what the next area is like because they'll probably all die anyway? They're all very prone to doing the first option in the beginning, but as the trauma of constant gruesome deaths weighs on everyone, they become less empathetic. While they may have screamed and been horrified at the other person's death in the first few resets, after some time it morphs into a "that dumbass shouldn't have done that if he didn't want to die" mentality.

I haven't started writing it for real yet, mostly because I'm still figuring out the ending. I don't know if I want to do a happy ending where they escape (albeit deeply traumatized), or if I want to do a more pessimistic ending where some/all of them become so demented from what they've been through that they succumb to the horrors they fought against and become a part of it.

Heyy I just have a quick question. Are you still working on Breaking Point, or is there another story coming up? Wish you a nice day/night.🫶🏻

I'm not working on it presently (lack of motivation), but I do want to continue it once I get back into writing. The next chapter focuses heavily on death and grief, which has made it... a challenge to put it mildly haha

I have been fleshing out another story, but it's an original work based off a nightmare I had recently, not a fanfic lol

[rollinouttahere-writes]

hey How are you doing? Is there anything you'd like to talk about? I don't know what to say; I'm pretty bad at small talk.🫠🤞🏻

I'm alright, just haven't been super motivated to post on here as of late. I got back into reading, so a lot of my spare time has gone into that lol

and also enjoying the new fields of mistria update

Im glad you dont mind my questions! So heres more thoughts for the vampire au!

In this au, are the marines like, an organization of supernatural creature hunters? I could see akainu as like, a super fanatical hunter of some kind.

How at risk is swan actually? Im sure there's a chance of a hunter or two finding out about her and attacking, like ace thinks. But like, if word were to get out about them, would hunters actually try and track her down and kill her over it? It has me wondering if they would also kill or hurt someone who didn't know the babies other parent was a vampire?

Would the whitebeards also go as far as keeping swan inside during the day for the duration of her pregnancy? Since they also have the same limitation of not being able to help her if a hunter attacked during the day. It sounds like if swan wanted to safely go outside during the day she'd have to find a non vampire ally of either ace or the whitebeards who is willing and able to escort her. If that's not an option, uh, guess she gets vitamin d supplements and maybe a room with a sun lamp to keep her healthy?

Would aces brothers find out about him having a kid at some point? Im pretty sure I remember it being mentioned that other characters/crews are probably different supernatural creatures, so if sabo or luffy wanted they could probably visit ace (maybe even mid travels) and see their new nephew/niece. I feel like luffy would just be excited at the idea of his brother having a kid. Meanwhile sabo is probably team "slap him over the head for being a dumbass who didn't use protection".

Yeah, the Marines in this setting would be monster hunters essentially.

The amount of danger Swan is in depends on the hunter. Some are more empathetic and see her as a victim to a silver tongued vampire that's taking advantage of her. Others think she's just as bad as the monsters for associating with them. The baby is in considerably more danger, though. Even the most understanding of hunters don't want a dhampire walking around.

Swan is kept inside during the day and given supplements to make up for it. She was resistant at first, but they scared her into cooperating by telling her just how dangerous monster hunters can be.

I know we talked about what Sabo and Luffy would be in this AU at some point, but I'll be damned if I can remember what they were lol. On the bright side, Ace trusts them enough to let them take Swan out for a walk during the day. Much to Ace's mortification, they do reveal just how young he is lmao

Doves deadbeat mom and yasopp's friendship is so important to me I need you to know how invested in this I am like that is just so funny. Met each other while getting milk and cigarettes

Lmao they hadn't seen each other in years, only to reunite while Yassop is avoiding his son and Dove's mom is hiding from Mihawk to get out of paying child support

they're quite the pair

[rollinouttahere-writes]

More food for thought with a father figure Corazon!!

If he were with a weepy child, he’d panic. Like, let’s say it’s the time that he and Law are going around, and reader’s a child that’s somehow going along for the ride. And any time that there’s something bad, they just. Cry.

Not even sobbing, but just. Tears. And sniffles. Half the time, it’s random. Nothing interesting could be happening, and they’re just crying. In the beginning, Corazon used to panic a lot, but now he’s gotten used to it. Law was, and is still, annoyed every time it happens.

I feel like that would definitely make him think back to his childhood a lot. He'd get protective over the kid because he's questioning if they went through something similar to him, and that's why they're like this all the time.

Law being annoyed is really funny though. He randomly calls out to Corazon asking if he could use his devil fruit on something. Cora turns around to ask what, and there's Law holding up the sniffling child, saying, "This."

Heyy ich wollte nur fragen wie es dir so geht

Beste Wünsche 💐🫶🏻

Mir geht es gut! Danke der Nachfrage.

[rollinouttahere-writes]

Is it weird that I imagine Dove's mother being late to Dove's birth?

Let me explain:

Imagine: Dove's mother and Mihawk agreed to meet at the location where Dove's mother would give birth. She didn't want to go on the raft with Mihawk (especially while very pregnant), plus she has her own form on transport. Mihawk shows up early, and he finds that she isn't there. He doesn't think much of it at first since he is there earlier than the agreed time.

Meanwhile, Dove's mother decides to get food. Whilst she's eating, her water breaks, and she says, "That baby can wait, this food ain't gonna stay hot"

Dove's mother was almost 2 hours late... She procrastinated the birth of her child (but not for the same reason as Ace's mother)

Mihawk still witnesses the birth of his child, but he is questioning everything...

In conclusion, her deadbeat energy is so powerful that I could see this happening...

Sorry for the late response, a new medication I'm on gives me the worst headaches and incapacitates me sometimes lol

Lmao I could absolutely see her doing that. She got a craving, and she'll be damned if she's not going to satiate it before she gives birth. Her water breaks, and she rationalizes that it's fine. Some women are in labor for like 30 hours, the baby can wait.

The restaurant staff is horrified at the woman leaking amniotic fluid all over the place, but she pulled a gun on the last person who suggested she leave, so they're giving her space.

By the time she finally shows up, she's fully dilated, gives birth on the spot, and hands over the baby to Mihawk like she's returning a jacket she borrowed from him.

He's standing there, openly judging her (and himself), meanwhile she's already leaving because she has nine months of drinking to make up for. Good luck with the baby, but mama needs a drink!

[rollinouttahere-writes]

OH SHIT I FORGOT TO INCLUDE THIS IN THE ASK BUT

glad that you’re back!! Take care of yourself, and drink lots of water!!!

Lmao thank you!

[rollinouttahere-writes]

As somebody who finds the smell of cigarettes comforting, I feel like Corazon, if he were a father figure to a child who liked the smell of cigarettes, he’d be ‘weirded out’.

Moreso on the fact that every time he smokes, the kid’s trying to get as close as possible, practically burying themself in him, and he’s just like ‘hey- no- this stuff’s bad for you- get awAY-‘ especially considering secondhand lung cancer.

No matter how hard he tries, though, the child always finds a way to latch onto him like a leech. Even if Corazon tries to distance himself to have a smoke, the kid’s just. There.

Adding on, if the child ever needs comfort really badly, they’ll hold onto his coat and focus on his smell to calm themself down.

Oh, that's cute

Cora's just trying to take the edge off a bit only to get stressed out anyway because this kid won't go away. It isn't even just the smoke he's worrying about. The man is a walking fire hazard, and he really doesn't want to accidentally set a child to fire because they were too close when his coat was set ablaze.

If the kid so much as coughs once, he thinks he's given them a terminal lung disease. (And then there's Doflamingo who would probably give a lit cigarette to a baby lmao)

The mental image of Corazon looking for his coat only to find that the kid stole it and is currently completely wrapped up in it and taking a nap is adorable. How they find comfort in his burnt, cigarette smelling coat comforting is beyond him, but he can't bring himself to take it away.

[rollinouttahere-writes]

I kind of HC Marco having child leashes for his siblings.

I feel like most of them are well-behaved enough for that to not be necessary. He might need one for Ace, though.

[rollinouttahere-writes]

the mentions of sanjis vampire wife reminded me of the vampire whitebeards au with feral vampire ace and Swan. So I went back and reread that oneshot and now I have questions lol. Apologies in advance for trying to drag this au out of retirement /j

Did ace feel like a monster for shouting at swan and scaring her into crying? I don't know if ace has similar hang ups to his canon self, but I still feel like he'd feel awful for hours after scaring and acting so threatening to his gf regardless.

Also, after the whitebeards got over their frustration with ace not using protection, did they also get protective over swan and the baby? Like, should swan and ace be expecting some of aces siblings to make unplanned visits to them on their road trip thing? Would ace stop by wherever whitebeard stays primarily and have whitebeard try and convince them both to stay at least until the babies born, if not longer? I could see him doing that, especially with the argument that it would be better for all of them to have marco treat her during her pregnancy, and that's easier to do if they aren't traveling in an RV. Ultimately though, whitebeard is probably just excited to be a gramps now. He's almost definitely wanted grandkids to spoil for a while, im sure of it. And while it may have been an accident, now his youngest is gonna be a dad and pops would be such a supportive parent for ace and Swan.

Would swans diet have to change with a half vampire (dhampir i think?) kid on the way, like needing blood too? Or could she still eat just normal human food? Or maybe a mix where she eats human food but eats her meat more rare or something idk.

I have many more thoughts but this already feels like a ton to ask, so I'll leave it here.

Lmao don't apologize I love old au's getting resurrected. Feel free to send in the rest of your thoughts!

Yes, Ace did feel horrendous afterward about scaring Swan. He really didn't mean to get so aggressive, but he was straight up panicking after he found the pregnancy tests. Especially since he was worried that she was hiding it because she wanted to leave him. Later on after they've both calmed down, he is openly sulking about how he reacted. He'd probably even encourage her to hit him to get him back for it (Swan refuses).

As much as the Whitebeard's would love to periodically check in on him, it's really hard for vampires to be nomadic given that sunlight is lethal to them. Ace's set up, while effective, is very unusual and controversial. Mostly because of how high risk it is since he could be killed by the curtains falling down (meant to mirror how dangerous Striker is for him as a devil fruit user).

Fortunately, they don't need to come to him because he would go straight to them with Swan. He's scared for her safety and health, and he realizes that Marco is their safest bet. He already intends to stay with them until after the birth.

Everyone is a little annoyed with Ace for reproducing, but they accept some blame for not giving him the vampiric birds and the bees talk. What's done is done, so they primarily focus on Swan and the baby, and yes they are all very overprotective over them. If any vampires not affiliated with them come prowling around from the smell of her, they will dealt with swiftly.

I feel like Swan could technically survive off regular human food, but that also consuming blood would be healthiest for the growing dhampire. Thatch starts by mixing in small amounts with her food and drinks, but the deeper into the pregnancy she is, the more she craves it. Before long, she's drinking cups of it straight.

Whitebeard is eager to have a grandchild, though he didn't expect it to come from his youngest. He's also surprised about his grandchild being a dhampire, but he isn't complaining. That baby is going to be spoiled rotten.

[rollinouttahere-writes]

Have some thoughts~

If Zoro ever met Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji, I think he’d just refer to them as Red Sanji, Blue Sanji, and Green Sanji. I don’t know who’d be more offended, them or Sanji.

You ever think about how Sanji was probably incredibly triggered by Duval because someone with “his face” was covering himself with a metal mask? I think about that.

When I think about Reiju meeting the rest of the crew, I can’t decide which would be funnier, her being smitten with Robin and Nami and competing with Sanji for their attention, or her being aggressively into Zoro and Sanji foaming at the mouth screaming for Zoro to stop corrupting his sister. Reiju gives off some major lesbian vibes to me though, so the first probably.

Lmao Zoro absolutely would. He's not learning all those new names for these bitches. I also 100% think that Zoro has been under the assumption that Zeff was his biological father this whole time, so I feel like his first interaction with them would include him being all like "who the hell are you people and what do you want with curly brow?" meanwhile all of them are wondering how he doesn't see the resemblance between them and Sanji. They even also have curly brows, come on.

Oh noooo. I didn't but now I am. Maybe he was so blinded with rage that it didn't register. I hope so.

I feel like Reiju is about as straight as Nami because

there is absolutely no heterosexual explanation for this. She is so down bad for Tashigi right there. Poor Sanji has spent all this time trying to rizz up Nami only for his sister to get farther than him in like two minutes. I could still see her possibly being fond of Zoro platonically over him having somewhat of a resemblance to Yonji. Like she sees him as being her brother in another (better) life kind of a deal.

[rollinouttahere-writes]

Dove's mom would remember when Dove was born. But she has zero idea what she looks like now. Unless she sees the Wanted Posters.

Dove's mom: Why does that kid on the poster look so familiar?

Yassop: Ain't that your kid?

Dove's mom: OH SHIT-

[rollinouttahere-writes]

I'm so glad you're back. I hope you're feeling better mentally. I want you to know that every day I open TBLR hoping you've posted something new. I shed a little tear when I saw you were back.🥹🫶🏻

Aww thank you that's so sweet!!! 😭

[rollinouttahere-writes]

Okay I’m about to word vomit the most random stuff that I’ve been thinking about

I like to think that when the Roger Pirates stopped on Water 7 like we saw in Oden’s flashback, Franky punched Shanks in the face at some point. Why did he do it? I don’t know, I just know that the mental image is funny.

I’ve been listening to a lot of music lately so here are some of my worst thoughts:

Bring Him Home from Les Miserables and it’s Whitebeard’s thoughts about Ace just before Marineford

Empty Chairs At Empty Tables also from Les Miserables and it’s about Marco after Marineford

Brothers Under The Sun by Bryan Adams with Ace, Sabo, and Luffy

Ship in a Bottle by fin about Ace

Don’t know if you know any of these, but it makes me hurt so good to imagine edits with these songs. Also about music, have you listened to the One Piece character songs? You can find them on YouTube, my favorite is Yakusoku no Misaki, it’s Brook and Laboon.

Funny anecdote to finish this monster ask off, I’ve gotten my mom into One Piece, we’re at Enies Lobby, and she keeps saying she’s “disturbed” by Franky’s clothing situation, and every time I just think about how she’ll react to the chase & recruitment scene.

Lmao Franky was such a hot head as a kid, I could see him throwing hands with Roger himself for the slightest provocation. Shanks was probably just poking around at one of his battle franky's and something he said came out wrong.

Oh god the way Whitebeard went in prepared to sacrifice himself so his family could escape kills me. only for it to be in vain because Ace has the self preservation of a deer on a highway with an 18 wheeler coming at it

And chairs at empty tables for Marco is so good! Excruciating, but good.

Brothers under the sun makes me think of how Ace feels while looking down on Luffy and Sabo from the afterlife, and ship in a bottle is also very fitting for him.

Yes, I have listened to them! I love all of Sanji's obviously, but I think my favorite is the Luffy song one world. He just has such an infectiously happy voice when he sings I love it.

Also lmao your poor mom is going to be traumatized by Franky's whole recruitment fiasco.

[rollinouttahere-writes]

I would love to chat headcanons! I'm the same anon who sent an ask a bit ago about sanji and his monster vampire wife, so Im down as hell to yap about what I've thought about that in my mind palace!! I've been thinking about how she'd interact with the rest of the crew, like Luffy thinks she's cool as hell and I think she is BEWILDERED by him. But also that's her wife's captain so he's cool. But also. What a little freak. I think the first time zoro meets her he says something like half rude to sanji and before she can step in and beat some ass sanji is already foaming at the mouth and shes even more charmed by this other side of him

I feel like she views Luffy the way someone might view a weird bug. A strange little creature, but undeniably fascinating. She'd like to put him in a little cup and observe him.

Love the idea of her purposely antagonizing Zoro so that he'll say something rude and get Sanji fired up. She knows what she likes and she knows how to achieve it.
