thank you ❤️ I loved writing vaya con dios, and I’m so sorry it took me a year to make another fic 😭

[dearer-than-i]

That reminds me to get into angel hare, actually.

:3

YESSS Angel Hare is so good I cannot recommend it enough! It’s a relatively short watch as well!

Personally I find it super interesting and the characters comforting though that may not be how it is for everyone

jay + unplanned pregnancy + angst/drama

read one plus one makes three

[trashbaget]

12, 18, 22, 23, 36 for the music ask!

12 - a song by an artist who’s from where you’re from

“good as hell” by lizzo ✨✨✨ (from michigan)

18 - a song that demands lip syncing into a microphone

i’m not in the habit of lip syncing bc i just don’t find it anywhere near as fun as actually singing out loud and annoying everyone i know but a really good one is “since u been gone” by kelly clarkson

22 - a song you can’t help but dance to

literally anything on my dance playlist 😌😌 (also i will dance to anything and everything) but one i adore & is really fucking fun is “burn the house down” by ajr

23 - a song that makes you want to dance on a table

omfg “princes of the universe” by queen !!!! so much so that i wrote it into a scene in a dps fic so i could live vicariously through charlie dalton

36 - a great song you discovered thanks to television

“night moves” by bob segar, it’s one of my favorite songs and i heard it on supernatural

ask me about music! 🥰

[nobody-knose--archive]

📫 & 📼 for whatever characters ya wanna talk about :D

these are both really interesting questions in the sense that i cannot for the life of me foresee their potential answers being of much direct value to the stories i try to tell. also they’re hyperspecific & contain stories within themselves and y’all know me telling a story in short time is a goddam challenge, but! with a character randomly selected as its focus, below the cut i give you: one story based on the first prompt feat the cojum who? crew! i do not in any way promise to give a story for the second prompt but this was fun enough on its own so i thank you all the same. (cws for implied death, mention of blood)

2.66 to 4.67 billion miles apart at any given time

“What’s that you’ve got there?” is an innocuous question when it’s directed at, for example, a cat. ”A letter, duh,” is an innocuous answer when it’s not being given in, for example, a space ship with nothing that could conceivably resemble a mail slot on its entire exterior. ”O-kay then. Is the easier follow-up question ‘Why’ or ‘How’?” Amber responds, cautious but incredulous. ”’How’, definitely; I got this out of the T&LDIS mailbox. The easiest question you could’ve asked was ‘Why not me?’ as I think you can understand not getting letters when nobody knows your transtemporal address.” ”I... don’t particularly care about that.” ”Same here, actually. But the hardest question you could’ve asked (given my inability to answer it) and, frankly,” Coral takes a second to look incredibly incredulous, “the one I’m surprised you didn’t ask is, ‘Who’?” This moves Amber towards a different shade of curiosity. “There are many people connected to you I of whom I wonder the ‘Who?’ but I never expected you to do as well.” Coral, who had been scanning the now-open letter as Amber spoke and looking for all the world utterly lost in thought, glances up at Amber when his sentence concludes and says, “Have you ever considered becoming a poet?” He only stares and stifles a sigh in response. ”Or maybe a songwriter? I understand if that’s less your style though-” ”Are you not going to answer my question?” ”I got a letter because I know people who know my address, and anything else I can go over if I want to, and if I figure out the answer myself after reading it.” ”Alright. That’s good enough for me.” Amber, with a strange sort of compliment in his head and plenty of awareness of how Coral wants to be left alone, exits the console room. Coral takes a seat in a seat that manages to be well-worn and familiar despite the objective newness of this console room design and takes another look at the letter in their hands. ”Hey Coral,” it starts, already a strange way for a letter addressed to them to start, considering they have yet to tell any of their former companions about their name change, and especially not any fellow Time Lords (the use of circular gallifreyan indicating as such). “The majority of this letter wasn’t written by me- and before you ask, no, I’m not Marcy. I’m a time lord you’re close with, yes, but not Marcy.” This factoid Coral finds suspicious- whoever wrote it must know Marcy well to have handwriting so similar in style to its. And the use of the present/past/future perfect continuous tense [a tense that is notably difficult to translate into english] in reference to the writer’s familiarity with Coral themself carries a array of implications they aren’t looking forward to understanding. ”I’m writing this preface to clarify a couple things. Firstly, I came into possession of this letter unintentionally and without any ill will towards you. And secondly, the contents of this letter would thoroughly unsettle you if you weren’t aware of the strange means by which it made its way to you- means I don’t plan on telling you, but the fact that they’re strange and I’m writing all this should help at least somewhat. Two-and-a-fifthly, I know these contents would unsettle you because I used a different name at the top of my section than what the original writer used in theirs.” It seems the writer of this letter (its preface at least) is attempting to cram as many confusing temporal implications as possible on one (modified-to-be) dimensionally transcendent piece of paper. ”I’m pretty sure I’ve said everything that needs to be said, but if I didn’t I’ll probably find a way to get the information to you anyway. Only if the opportunity presents itself though. Much like how the present tends to opportune itself.” Coral’s almost starting to wonder whether this is actually some completely random person they know that at some point in their life learned circular gallifreyan, just for how unlikely it feels that any time lord would write this stuff. “Greetings and good evening,” then a signature in the form of a drop of ink close enough between conventional shades of orange and red for Coral to mistake it for a drop of gallifreyan blood at first. They sigh, then pull the next sheet of paper out of the envelope- the actual letter itself. “Dear Conductor,” The preface wasn’t lying. That does feel weird to them. “That’s probably the weirdest way I’ve ever started a letter but you never told me your name and I don’t care enough to ask. I don’t really know why I’m writing this letter (do you even have a mail slot on the T&LDIS? I don’t remember ever seeing one) but it’s been about a week since you left me at home and” Their hearts stop. Exercising a considerable amount of self-restraint, they do not crumple the letter into a tiny ball and throw it into the depths of the whirling time vortex, and instead resume reading it. They know who wrote it now. “I get the feeling you’ll show up tomorrow or another half week from now looking like you thought you’d arrive only a couple hours after dropping me off.” (Not an inaccurate prediction, though to be precise it would be the day after she wrote this letter that they would pick him up.) “I guess the most likely reason I’m writing you this letter is that [the clear markings of an abundance of erased words fill up space] you’re the only dude ever, I think, that might know what it feels like to go somewhere and be kind of lost in the past and future instead of actually in the present. It’s a really hard feeling to place.” (They can’t actually relate to this, the contrasting aspect of it at least. Being untethered from the natural flow of time, reality itself even to an extent, has been the norm for them for nearly as long as they can remember. All the same, the very groundedness of non-Time Lords, their ability to truly look at a world the way it currently exists as they are in it, not as one of many bits and pieces in a long, winding web of time, is something they envy. They wonder if thon ever managed to pick up on how that very quality is what they happen to value in every companion they ever pick up.) “I mean, to you, there’s not much of a difference between 1985 and 1984 and 1986, right? Just like how there wouldn’t have been a difference when we landed in that one jungle place, if we were there in 443Δ or 441Δ (<- that’s what a delta looks like, right?) But to me, here in the “present” or whatever, if we go back a year that’s when me and everyone I know about and the whole planet was a year younger. Are you just used to that?” (Yes. On occasion, they no longer are. And they treasure those occasions as much as they can.) “I mean, you’re the only person ever who could possibly know if this war with the Russians is going to end a week from now or in another year or in a whole century. Or even if it’ll end at all. All that stuff is just things that’ll keep me up at night but to you it’s facts you already know, right? And it’s like that everywhere (everywhen?) there are probably people on all those planets who are thinking about stuff that happened a month ago and you could go there and know exactly what happened then if you want to. And now I feel like i could do the same thing, almost. It’s so strange.” (This is what happens to the people they make companions out of.) “I don’t want to just fill up this letter with talk about weird time stuff though. We deal with enough of that already, don’t we?” (They did, and it wasn’t enough.) “I guess with all this talk of how much a big deal the present is, I was thinking I could offer something for us to do when you get back. I don’t have to immediately set off again on grand adventures with you, do I? There’s this movie coming out, you probably know about it in some way, and it’s about an old person and a younger person traveling through time in a machine that looks like a car- sound familiar? We don’t have to see it, of course, I always like traveling with you, just let me know what you think when you get back. I guess I might be making a big assumption, that you’ll get this letter before then, but what’s the point of having that scifi trans-temporal mailing address of yours if it doesn’t work as intended?” (A very good point. One they can’t help but agree with.) “Your partner in time, Wesley Griffin.” Coral’s eyes lock with the signature at the bottom of the page for a long, long moment. Eventually, they glance up and reread Wesley’s entire section of the letter, top to bottom. And again. And a few more times, for good measure. For Wesley, it was about a week and a half spent at home, recuperating. For Coral, it was closer to a year, and an incredibly busy one at that, dealing with fellow renegade Time Lords and making sure the T&LDIS is appropriately capable of evading the non-renegades that seek to cause them more harm than the actual renegades. The whole little diversion was meant to be a break for both of them, when in reality Coral got maybe a couple weeks of fine rest and recuperation, and Wesley obviously wasn’t having as restful a time as they assumed he was, if this letter is anything to go off of. The day Coral returned to pick Wesley back up was a grand one, though humble. Neither of them brought up the subject of watching a movie, Coral because they didn’t know it was meant to be an option and Wesley because thon was never confrontational enough for her own good. Nor was the subject of feeling displaced in time brought up, though it is surely a more difficult topic of conversation to breach over dinner. Coral had spent their whole life until now unaware of this letter’s existence and had not suffered for it, to the best of their knowledge. Now it’s in their hands and they haven’t got the fainest clue what to do with it. Barely sparing the preface a second glance, they carefully fold and replace the letter in its envelope. Their back deliberately turned away from the door, they leave the console room to set off down the T&LDIS corridors, only the faintest whisper of a destination in mind. A few doors down, and some picked chords are heard underneath Amber’s voice from behind a door. “See, what most people think of when it comes to Spanish guitar is this one set of chords, when really those are just native to the Mediterranean and not Iberia specifically.” Coral doesn’t even try to stick around and hear a response. Long after the sounds of spanish guitar have faded, Coral crosses paths with Darius, heading in the opposite direction. “Oh, hey, do you know where I can find Amber?” it quickly asks. “He’s straight down the hall,” Coral responds without breaking their stride or turning their head, not giving Darius a chance to respond in further questioning or thanks. Briefly, they wonder if Amber was in fact talking to himself instead of to someone else, as they had assumed, but don’t bother entertaining the thought for very long. Just as they’re nearing exasperation with their ship for tucking the room they’re seeking so far away, the door reveals itself. It’s a door they’d recognize anywhere, and one they’d expect to see in only one place, and one they have not touched for far more years than they’d admit to most. So they take a deep breath, grasp the letter lightly in their hand, open the door, step inside, lay it on the bed, and leave. Not all of those actions occurring immediately after one another. - It’s more obvious to Jay than Amber himself that he relaxes immensely as he plays and talks about playing guitar. He’s greatly enjoying having an audience, clearly, and they have no doubt the novelty will not wear off any time soon. “...when really those are just native to the Mediterranean and not Iberia specifically.” Cautious and alert as always, though, it tenses up hearing footsteps coming down the hall- it can’t know for sure, but just in case that is Coral walking so quickly, it scans the room for any hiding spots or new ways out it knows should be there. Luckily, the sound passes by and fades almost before Amber can even notice, so Jay simply motions for him to continue playing rather than bring any attention to it. One and a half flamenco pieces later, some more footsteps are making their way towards them, and this time Jay’s earlier preparation pays off in part; the door is opened and ze is nowhere to be seen when it happens, but as Darius expresses a bit of interest in Amber’s technique and nobody else presents themself, ze pop zerself back into visibility with relative ease, neither Amber nor Darius batting an eye at this. “If you want, I could try and show you how alzapúa works, although I don’t really think I’m the best teacher out there-” “You’re fine, Amber. Darius, did you happen to see Coral out there?” Jay softly interjects. “Yeah, he was moving very quickly in the opposite direction and told me I could find you- well, just Amber -if I kept down the way I was going.” “Huh. Did they have a letter on them?” Amber replies, and Jay starts. “Yeah, actually.” (They try collecting themself to the best of their ability, and it should be said their ability is better than you’d expect.) “Alright. I wonder what they’re going to do with it.” (So does Jay, but ae at least have a very strong hunch ae’re highly interested in testing) “Amber, you don’t mind continuing this serenade in miniature with an alternate exterior audience, would you?” Amber shifts his attention back to Jay, a slightly melancholy tinge encroaching on his smile. “Yeah, I’m good. Go ahead and do your thing.” They nod and duck out the door, him quietly finishing, “I wasn’t really expecting you to stay very long anyway.” Unexpectedly, hy responds on hys way out, “I’ll steal another chance for us.” - A short while down the line (a while being, famously, one of the least quantifiable units of time measurement out there), Jay will take every necessary precaution they possibly can, walk directly into a room the T&LDIS will never be allowed to eject or remodel, no matter how many regenerations she or its conductor go through, and on their person will be a very, very old pen with no ink in it. A long while down the line, Coral (or perhaps someone no longer going by that name but very much the same inside) will walk back into the room that at one point housed a dear friend of theirs, and they’ll somehow bring themself to reopen the letter from him, and in the introduction they’ll read in reddish-orange ink a single, long, winding, and entirely new sentence in the preface that reduces them to tears in the kindest way possible.

Have you ever heard a weddell seal speak before?🐾

[riboism]

hi! i just wanted to say that i really love your writing! i just found your work recently and got really lucky by doing so! im glad you’re back. don’t mind me scrolling through and reading everything now heheh ‪♡

oh wow thank you so much 🥹🫶🏽 I’m sorry my blog is a mess, I do have a master list but I unpinned it and was planning on fixing it a little bit, maybe even deleting/re-writing some works. anyway, scroll on, I hope find something you like :)

[dearer-than-i]

For Sanji: 🧡 who worries more about the other?

(-dragonsmooch)

Purupurupuru~ CLICK! 🚬: Oh another question, thank you, my apologizes for the wait! Things have been... busy on the Sunny today to put it lightly. But let's not keep you waiting, your question!

🧡 who worries more about the other?

🚬: Oh this is quiet easy. I'm a natural worrier, it's hard not to be with my expertise and with the crew I'm with. Ollie though is a special case. I could never dream of belittling them but I can't help but want to make sure their every need is met and that they are as safe as can be, they deserve nothing but the best after all! CLICK!

[dearer-than-i]

🤍 🤎 💚

Purupurupuru~ CLICK!

🤍 when did you first realize you were in love with s/i?

🚬: Oh some questions, thank you lovely! That's a very good question... as embarrassing as it is I must have realized not even a week after we both got on the Merry. What can I say the heart knows what the wants, not that I'd complain <3~

🤎 what was the first thing you remember gifting to s/i?

🚬: I believe it was a very beautiful silver bracelet and flowers! I couldn't help myself when I saw the jewelry while I was running errands, it was perfect for my darling Ollie <3~

💚 what does the perfect date look like to you?

🚬: Between you and me Any date with Ollie is a perfect date, though I can assume that answer won't suffice so! A perfect date would be a beautiful and intricate feast followed up by a walk by street and moonlight, what could be more romantic?

CLICK!

🌟 How about Nami? :3c - @gideongrovel

NAMI MY GIRL NAMI!! I love her SO much!! Like despite everything I feel like I don't talk about her enough!!

She and Robin are tied for my favorite One Piece character and their's a REASON! Nami is such a strong character and I have so many feelings about her. I love her to DEATH though and while I'm not the only one I think she is GORGOUS! Nami is such a good character when reading her as someone who finally got a safe situation where she's finally allowed to be herself and you can see her open up. That paired with my personal headcanon/fanon that she starts gaining weight after Arlong Park makes me feel such a fondness and companionship with her! I feel like she would be so understanding and such a good friend and life partner especially given how in my own head I get about my own worth and how I might hurt others on accident. We relate to each other on a trauma level and are effected by very similar things and it's nice knowing I'm not alone and my triggers aren't something that I should just deal with. That I deserve better and will always have someone to fight for me! We match each others passion and strive to be happy and ground each other when spiraling. I do think part of my comfort with her comes from that fact that.. I've mentioned before I have struggles sleeping and my relationship with sleep is very strained. I don't look forward to sleep most days and ironically escapism and my interests help with that and One Piece is no exemption. I often do the same things every night to keep to my routine and it helps my body fall asleep quicker and with less distress. One of those things is if I'm struggling to sleep I go through the same situation but if I were on the Merry or the Sunny and often will either 'sit' with Sanji in the kitchen and talk or I'll 'be' in the girls wing or on deck with Nami and Robin. Which I think has made Robin and Nami even that much more special to me because my brain kind of connects them with comfort and familiarity and somewhere safe and somewhere where I don't struggle and can just relax even if it's just to go to sleep.

Oops this turned out much longer than I expected KLNDGLKNDGS Anyways we love Nami in this house she is everything to me!! PRETTIEST GIRL ON THE GRAND LINE!!

[dearer-than-i]

🌟 perona!

Persona!! I've not seen much of her yet but I LOVE what I've seen so far! Absolute queen I adore her! I just recently finished Thriller Bark and she's already left SUCH an impression!!

The sister energy is STRONG with this one as well especially given her connection to Mihawk it was only natural! Very much the type who Will go after people for so much as looking at you funny sklngslkn

[dearer-than-i]

🌟 idk much about one piece but uuhh luffy? he looks silly

OOOOUGHHH LUFFY!!! Luffy Luffy Luffy my darling my captain my carrds url sake etc etc The many things I can say about him!!

I'm not alone, both in canon and in real life, in saying that this ball of sunshine put into a pirates body actively sparked my zest for life and made things so much more bright. One Piece is a new special interest for me and I think I forgot what it felt like to have something new and exciting like that and it's all thanks to this guy!! He just has this ability to light up any room he's in and make you just as passionate about things as he is. Despite everything he genuinely care SO deeply and is willing to fight for anything as long as he believes in it. His unbridled enthusiasm knows no bounds and it might as well be contagious! They say their's nothing more contagious than laughter after all! He's not only my brother but my captain and I'd follow him anywhere!

[dearer-than-i]

🌟 Monty PLEASE

OHHHH MONTY !!! Okay so for someone who loves the Glamrocks BUNCHES you'd think that'd mean I'd talk about Monty but I NEVER DO and that's a CRIME.

I love this a bit bitehappy meathead!! Absolutely gymbro bestie material and I think seeing his small cameo in the VIP Interactive Novel made me even more passionate that he's not that bad a guy. I don't understand how people can see how Roxy and Chica aren't bad they're just being harmed by their programming but can't see the same is happening to Monty!! He's got such a strong characterization as well it's no wonder he has so many unwavering fans behind him!! Rock 'n roll indeed Monty.

[dearer-than-i]

3, 5, 9, 14, and 18 + you and Cassandra for the fem f/o asks, please!!

💌donahdevotees💌

OF COURSE!! Cassandra ohhh my Cass <3

3. What foods does she love that you hate and vice versa?

Hmmm... I think she's the type to really like caramelized or sautéed veggies 🤔 which are the kind of thing I can't really eat for arfid reasons wahah. As for me I love baked goods which I don't think she'd be all that much a fan of nldgnlsln

5. Do you stash snacks for each other? What kind?

ALWAYS ! Imagining in a modern setting us having some sort of comfort snack tub or basket... It's not something I go into a lot but something that brings me a lot of comfort is imagining my f/os understanding or even relating to my food insecurities and Cass is one that see being able to relate even if she doesn't know exactly where that came from. The idea of us having a shared "storage" of small things we know we'll be able to eat and not judging each other for needing that type of security makes me really soft. As for what types? I'm thinking a lot of salty stuff :} I love salty snacks like chips, nuts, pretzels, popcorn, etc and I think she'd be similar though perhaps with some flavoring like instinct tells me she'd like bbq flavored snacks?

9. Do you have nicknames for each other?

Of course!! I think I made a post about some of my f/os nicknames for me and Cass was on the list! One of the standouts is the idea of her calling me 'little butterfly'........... as for her I think about calling her 'jewel/my jewel' a lot....

14. What are your thoughts on each others profession? Do you visit each other at work?

Oh this is so cute actually. So my s/i is actually a trinkets maker and seller in Corona! They actually fell for Cass when she was out on Lady-in-Waiting duty with Rapunzel and the princess wanted to stop by their shop! This song and dance of watching each other from afar went on for MONTHS before either of them properly spoke outside of work wahah. My s/i thinks Cass being a part of the royal guard is SO cool and thinks her working personally beside Rapunzel is even cooler if not a bit out of their league dnlksknld. And at first Cass thought the stuff they made was a little unnecessary, though she had to admit it was impressive, but nowadays she's one of their first customers on any new products! They visit one another all the time and despite everyone in the kingdom knowing the two are together they always sneak away giggling like schoolgirls during shifts for lunch or after work to watch the sunset together.

18. What's one moment in your relationship where she changed your perspective of yourself and vice versa?

OKAY SO. SO. For both of us this focuses on the events with the Moonstone. For me it was absolutely when she had snuck back into the kingdom and was disguised as Rapunzels new Lady-in-Waiting and she was starting to feel like and act like her old self. ESPECIALLY after the reveal it was her my s/i was one of the few people trying to vouch for Cassandra. In my canon my s/i actually follows Cassandra out of the kingdom trying to calm her down and help her. For Cassandra it was right after the fight with Zhan Tiri and Cass was brought back from death. Easy to say my s/i was DISTRAUGHT and they have a really tender moment where Cass assures them that she's okay and Zhan Tiri's gone and things were going to be alright. That moment really solidified in Cassandra how much she had put at stake for someone she hesitated ever call her mother just because someone was whispering futures of granger and recognition in her ear.
