#“father is just another concept”

[pine-rhyme]

I think it would be funny in Alecto, if we spend more time on the Ninth, for the great aunts to, very affectedly, inform Harrow of her parents' passing during their silent practice to which Harrow barelly even manages to act either surprised or mournful (while Kiriona has a fit of laughter nearby).

"And that makes you, Reverend Daughter Harrowhark Nonagesimus, our 311th Reverend Mother."

Freshly out of Hell and still dazed by whatever happend post tomb opening, Reverend Mother Harrowhark Nonagesimus, can urge no other reaction out of her but a slightly out of breath, shamefully informal "Ok."

Cue a pleathoa of mom jokes that everybody seems to get into.

"Reverend- forgive me Harrowhark, I cannot in good faith look at your face and call you-"

"Then please don't. Thank you, Paul."

"Oh, mother!" ejaculates Ianthe at her every movement.

"Oh, sorry mommy", Kiriona is already begging for it.

Worst things worst she is still, functionally, the last person ever born on the Ninth.

One Piece where everything’s the same except Cora doesn’t die but Law’s still determined to absolutely beat the shit out of Doflamingo anyway. Cut to post Dressrosa where Law gets a VERY frantic phone call from Cora who’s like what the actual FUCK I saw the newspaper this morning you went up against Doffy all by yourself?? You promised me we would do this together you little SHIT do you have any idea how fucking scared out of my MIND I was when I saw the headline and I thought something happened to you, Law I swear to god, and Law’s like yes Cora I went up against him by myself, like HELL I was going to let him lay a single finger on you. And Cora’s like THAT’S MY LINE!!! You’re MY kid and I should be the one protecting YOU!! And Law’s like what with your shitty devil fruit powers? What could you have done? You would have fallen on your ass and gotten hurt or shot or worse and I’d be too fucking worried about you to focus on anything else. And Cora’s like this conversation is NOT over but I’m so so glad you’re okay. And he starts crying and he’s like oh my GOD Law you know how insane Doffy is I could have lost you. And I wouldn’t have even known until after the fact. And Law goes all quiet and he’s like I know I’m sorry but I could have lost YOU and I couldn’t handle that. I couldn’t. And Cora’s sobbing and he’s like I love you so much Law and Law’s like yeah. I love you too 🥺

Meanwhile the Strawhats witnessed this entire conversation and they’re like. Wow okay that was a lot to unpack. Law’s got a dad and they’re very protective of each other and apparently his dad is Doflamingo’s brother?? And Law literally dismantled Doflamingo’s entire criminal organization and DIDN’T bother telling his dad about it?? No wonder he’s pissed. And they’re also like awwwww we’ve never seen Law so soft and vulnerable before 💕 and Law looks at them and he’s like. You repeat ANY of what you just heard and I WILL kill you. And they’re like ‘Mhmm okay yup we hear you loud and clear. Btw what’s your dad like’ with the BIGGEST shit eating grins and Law’s like Okay! Killing you now!! And proceeds to chase them with his katana

Presenting: the two sequencer OC's that have been slowly forming in my brain over the course of the past couple of months. Because I cant stop making sequencers I guess!!

The Keen-eyed Chemist - Kelly Connolly

Chemist and sometimes nurse at the Grand Geode, Kelly's jobs are numerous and wide-ranging. He prepares medicines. He tests incoming food shipments for poisons. He invented a method to check the colour of fabrics to ensure his fellow Sequencers' outfits are actually matching because everyone on this damn island sees in shades of gold. Oh, and he invented HRT for his daughter. It's well-known that before the Sequence, he had been a grifter selling fake cure-alls, but those days are far behind him. In the Dawn Machine's radiance, he has learned to thrive rather than merely survive, and his habit of making silly little potions developed into actual skill as a scientist. Kelly joined the New Sequence nearly two decades ago after a chance meeting with @zeebreezin's Laurence. He needed to flee London, he needed a reliable job, and he needed support for his daughter. The Sequence promised that, and more. He's never looked back.

The Affable Ensign - Bríd Connolly

Bríd is Kelly's daughter, first and foremost. She was raised on the Grand Geode from a young age, and as far as she's concerned, it's been lovely. She's bubbly and curious and always happy to help. She's tried out a lot of jobs at the Geode so far, and she hasn't found her place yet, but she's sure she'll figure it out eventually! Next on her list: a term serving aboard Captain Trieu's ship and then a visit to London.

Mini rant below and in the tags, the only time I’ll talk about this and my personal take on it.

The way people talk about hypothetical male Anya on Twitter and the idea of how Mouthwashing would play out if the genders were swapped makes me remember how people still don’t take sexual assault and rape with male victims with the same gravity, especially when the perpetrator is female.

i feel like this is me being stupid but when jean tells wymack that kevin never once doubted wymack would take him in

what the fuck does that mean

[thetardisisnotourdivision]

Hey did I ever tell y'all about the time I dreamed that I had a baby daughter called Ellie that began with my finding out I was pregnant and ended on like her third birthday?

I legitimately woke up thinking "I should go check on Ellie" and then realised she was never real and when I tell you I SOBBED. I've been haunted by an implacable sense of loss ever since. Did I travel to another dimension? Wtf happened because that was insane.

that post that’s like “what are you most pretentious about” is important and cool but i feel like there is a similar vein of emotion in “what are you most territorial about.” both coming from a place of love naturally but it’s a different emotion of “i want to know everything about this and challenge others to do the same” vs “this was made for ME. nobody else.”

for me i am most pretentious about infinity train bc i have pages and pages of lore notes and made a genuine cork board of theories + have archives of crew art & word of god tidbits saved but like. at the end of the day that is still a shared title between me & my friends & other ppl who were active in the fan space during that particular era of the show. anyone can accumulate knowledge with enough research.

what i am most Territorial about is chococat. little black sanrio cat. my childhood. Mine. everyone else can like him and love him but nobody else will love her in the specific way that I did as a kid and do as an adult. stuffed animal that was given to me by fate as a kid and continues to be an important part of MY life. no amount of wikipedia diving can match the decades of specific love that I have for chococat. there’s a difference yknow

guh i remembered that akito and touya go to different middle schools too. and surely overall their schedules do not overlap often so the fact they even crossed paths. damn.

touyas current outfit and overall fashion was def created with akitos help too yeah… also with the concept sketches of their past designs woth touyas purple hoodie and akitos flannel. the fact that they both kept those in their present day outfits. AUGH. smth smth it reminds them both of when they originally met :’))

then adding in the detail of the necklace… what if it was originally akitos and he at some point gave it over to touya. yeah. that and the way i drew touyas hair being akin to his 3rd lim hairstyle.. normally in present day you can see its tucked behind his ear. so. what if that decision to make that hairstyle change was also partially bc of akito. yeah <3
