@whiskeysmulti PS: Like I said before, I don't want to make you uncomfortable if at any point you feel uncomfortable, please stop and drop it. Would you please let me know okay? This is a bit of projection, but also, I suppose this is a bit further in the timeline of the Cloud Can Stir Up Storm. HEAVILY trigger warning, for those who don't know what this is.

His head was... blank. No thoughts... No smells... No touches... Nothing... No memories... It was weird and scary.

He could feel his heart start to pound against his ribcages, the blood flowing in his veins in the palms of his hands and his feet. The blood flowing through his neck, it felt like not only the blood flowing but as well, like his heart was beating in his neck too.

In a second, he was there, Hibari kissing him, that wasn't new at all. They had kissed before, they were lovers after all. He was healing more and more each day. He remembers how broken he was, he remembers how the Cloud first found him. And then...

Blank, his eyes were watching gray eyes, and then... it wasn't there.

He felt anxious... He felt scared. He felt... falling into a pit. A long dark pit. As his eyes turned unfocused, and his body stopped moving, his breath was under control.

His face was red, and his body started sweating profusely, his breath started to go ragged as the storm's body was reacting but... The mind?

The long pit ended and now he was in a hole. He had to... He...

Da...Daddy... Please? His lips moved without Hayato's mind being there, and his eyes looked more unfocused.

The hole... The hole was scary, the hole was lonely, the hole was closing in him. But he didn't have any strength to pull himself up. The hole, made him cry.

He felt hands all around his body, he felt cocks in all places but none at the same time none, he heard words coming from everywhere, but there was no sound to be heard.

That hole, that pitch black hole, also felt right, even though familiar. Yes, it was scary to be alone, too. The sensation he felt worse was the hands, rough hands, soft hands, small, larger... He felt it... That hole... He wasn't a young adult in that hole. He was a child.

Akkiii!! I love every single one of your portrayals, but especially Shanks bc of all of the dynamics we've written with him! I will forever adore Pirate Dad Shanks and the bond between him and Hibari. We definitely need to try other muse combinations too! I always admire every reply I see you post, no matter which muse!

How is my portrayal? Accepting @rcmancedawn

ALICE MY DEAR!

Your words warm my heart. Pirate Dad Shanks and his newfound Marine Pirate daughter Hibari is my absolute fave dynamic too. I adore how it evolved over time. With him being skeptical if she was even fit for the alliance, to now fully supporting her and training her when it comes to haki. I love these two with all my heart!

Also other muse combinations are more than welcome! We should plot/talk more about those over discord, I do have some basic ideas already!

Pride Month Manga Recommendations: Currently Releasing

It's the first day of Pride Month, so why not find some LGBTQ+ manga to read to kick off the start of June? Take a look through this thread of 10 currently releasing manga and light novels to find a new series to pick up, starting with-

The Summer Hikaru Died - Soon To Be an Anime!

Yoshiki and Hikaru were best friends, until Yoshiki notices a change in the boy and comes to find out that he's been replaced by some sort of monster that proclaims his love for Yoshiki.

A fittingly disturbing affair, The Summer Hikaru Died does wonderful work as a horror manga, and expertly intertwines Yoshiki and "Hikaru's" emotions and feelings for one another with the dark and foreboding tone of the series.

Whisper Me A Love Song - A Currently Airing Anime!

Yori Asanagi is a girl better at guitar than love, but what happens when underclassman Himari Kino falls in love with that guitar work? Well, a string of misunderstandings appears that sets in motion this love song of a story.

Whisper Me A Love Song is certainly a bit close to cliché or melodramatic, but with Takeshima Eku's art, it becomes quite the appealing series. Certainly for fans of a more typically-styled love story, Whisper Me A Love Song is a very fun read!

I Married My Female Friend - from the author of Doughnuts Under A Crescent Moon

One day at a festival, Kurumi and Ruriko made a "promise" to each other: in 5 years, if neither found a partner, they would get married. That period elapses, and Ruriko comes racing back to Kurumi with a marriage certificate in hand.

I Married My Female Friend is both a lighthearted yet emotionally aware manga that feels like a spiritual successor to Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon, skipping the challenges of finding love & heading for the difficulty of being in love.

Seaside Stranger - Also A Major (Animated) Motion Picture

A story of two young men estranged from their parents, Seaside Stranger finds a difficult love blossom on a remote island that begins as confinement for the pair as they work through their challenging feelings and pasts.

Kii Kana's art is really something, and studio Hibari's adaptation is equally beautiful- extracting the most out of this dramatic (and steamy) romance. I might add though that it's not quite for those brand new to BL thanks to explicit content, but it's a great read nonetheless.

Otherside Picnic - Both An Anime And Manga

Sorawo Kamikoshi, a university student, spends her free time exploring a creepy pasta-esque dimension she calls the Otherside where she meets Toriko Nishina as the two narrowly escape the clutches of death, starting their journey.

While it's certainly quite the slow-burn of a romance, Iori Miyazawa's horror-filled world is bursting with passion and discomfort in equal amounts, making for a riveting read with a romance that feels impressively real. There's also an anime.... but it doesn't quite deliver.

Cinderella Closet

Haruka's a "plain jane" who left the countryside to live a bright and fashionable life in Tokyo- which she struggles with before meeting her "fairy godmother" Haruka- a young person with an incredible eye and interest for women's fashion and makeup.

In a sense, Cinderella Closet is a very loud depiction of romance in "the big city", throwing curve balls and both romantic & emotional challenges at every turn. In the end though, it remains a very positive and encouraging story with each turn, making for a great read.

The Contract Between a Specter and a Servant

On the worst- and final- day of Masamichi Adachi's life, he's hit by a car and left to die in the streets at night... until the enigmatic Shino offers him a contract to save his life.

While in the same genre as Otherside Picnic, this light novel certainly leans more into traditional horror as it explores a tense but intriguing relationship between Masamchi and Shino. A unique and engaging (re-released) light novel, it's an easy choice for fans of horror!

I Want To Be A Wall

Though Yuriko and Gakurouta are married, no love blossoms between them, as Yuriko is asexual (and a fan of BL) and Gakurouta stills holds feelings for his oblivious (male) childhood friend close to his heart.

Sporting a wonderfully unique concept, I Want To Be A Wall is a story that more so focuses on the wedded couple's humorous day-to-day lives than anything. A very light and enjoyable series, it's very easy to recommend to just about anyone.

Confessions of a Shy Baker

Toshimitsu Yamamura owns a real estate company and is a baking fanatic- spurred on by the sweet tooth of his boyfriend Gonta. One day however, Toshi gets pushed towards advertising his services as LGBTQ-friendly, forcing him to reconcile with how this move that would help others might out himself as gay.

A manga that delicately balances the societal struggles of being gay with a bright and heartwarming romance centered around baking, Confessions of a Shy Baker is a great jack all of trades manga.

Our Not-So-Lonely Planet Travel Guide

Overly serious Asahi Suzumura and equally laid-back Mitsuki Sayama made each other a promise: together, they'll travel around the world, and when they return to Japan they'll get married.

A beautiful story that throws readers out into the world through destinations and stories, this is a manga that does everything it can within its pages. A forbidden love, a forgotten partner, struggles with laws that forbid love- together they explore this world and each other.

And that's all the recommendations for today, if you have any more you'd like to add feel free to share them here!

“If I Was Born As A Girl…”: Transfeminine desire in Stop!! Hibari-Kun

Content warning: discussion of transphobia

It was 1981. The smash-hit Urusei Yatsuradominated Weekly Shonen Sunday reader polls, while Pierrot’s popular adaptation of the interstellar sex comedy was just starting to take off on Fuji TV. The manga would eventually end in 1987 after thirty-four volumes, while the 195 episode anime would run until 1986. During this time, creator Takahashi Rumiko even found the time to pen another prolific romance manga: Maison Ikkoku.

At this time, artist Eguchi Hisashi had just wrapped up his bawdy detective comedy Hinomaru Gekijou and was on the hunt for a new concept. Living in this boom period for romantic comedy—which also included juggernauts like The Kabocha Wine and Kimagure Orange Road—Eguchi wanted to make his mark on the burgeoning genre. But the illustrator wasn’t interested in playing things safe or making a guaranteed hit. From the outset, Eguchi wanted to lampoon the genre and twist reader expectations by having the central love interest be “a boy who dressed as a girl.”

“As I was putting all my energy into drawing Hibari-Kun to be as cute as possible,” Eguch saidi to French program Toco Toco in 2017, “the story would become more and more twisted. There weren’t that many manga like this at the time.”

In a cafe, he drafted the first storyboard for what would become Stop!! Hibari-kun—its title a pun on Hisashi Sekiya’s hot-blooded boys’ sports series, Stop! Nii-Chan.

Stop!! Hibari-kun, at first blush, boasts a fairly conventional set-up for a screwball romantic comedy. After the death of his mother, Kosaku is sent to live with Ozora Ibari, a loud-mouthed, sleazy yakuza with four daughters. No sooner does the young man arrive, however, than he falls head over heels for Hibari: the playful and exuberant third daughter of the Ozora family. Hibari, bright blonde and full of tomboy energy, sticks out in comparison to her more reserved sisters. It’s fair to say Eguchi draws Hibari with more attention and care to detail than he does the other female characters, between her ultra-trendy threads and her numerous pin-up splash pages.

[dark-elf-writes]

I knew you’d like Mukuro. And everyone else tbh.

Though, thoughts on Takeshi? I find he’s a really polarizing character, similar with Ryhoei.

Takeshi (and other characters but he’s the most obvious example) makes me wonder how much of the obliviousness is legit and how much he is pretending that it is so he can be underestimated. Like it’s incredibly easy to clock Gokudera as a thread because of his whole him-ness but Takeshi is the surprise because he’s so seemingly “head empty”.

Ryhoei I would probably like less if it wasn’t clear how much he cares about his sister. If it wasn’t clear he did care about being a good brother his high school athlete grindset personality would be so much ore annoying.

Lambo is annoying and he should be. Wish there was someone other than children raising this child tbh. They very much leaned I toy he whole “he’s five” thing and he is honestly a pretty good depiction of a child of you ignore the whole time travel bazooka thing.

Haru deserves so much more than being the “token obsessed girl”. Like she was fully willing to beat the shit out of Tsuna on their like second meeting and where is that energy going forward? Give the girl a bat and a target and let her go full feral.

Kyoko is unfortunately just kind of… there. Like it’s fine it have a cute oblivious character but she is really just a cardboard standee of a person who deserves more.

I-Pin is probably the best written female character I’ve seen so far and that’s kid of sad? Like don’t get me wrong I love her and her whole child assassin who gets it wrong because she’s five vibe and her crush on Hibari is cute and actually goes miles to make him more of a palatable character (to people that don’t immediately adopt the first hyper violent Garchomp ass character they see) in just a few small moments but she’s still not written great? And the other girls are written far below her. Also someone needs to parent her too where are all these kids parents?

Reborn was unsurprisingly an immediate love for me. I lvoe me a fucked up little guy of a teacher and his commitment to every bit no matter how ridiculous is amazing. And tbh whil e other teacher character is would dislike for his methods his… make sense? Like man is in the mafia his methods are going to be a bit fucked up.

But outside of the core gang? Dino. I fucking love Dino. I love his badass air immediately crumbling when his men are gone and I love that his men care about him just as much as he cares about them.

Best characters by far however are Enzio and Leon. 12/10 no notes.

'small things' for Yamamoto <3

[Original] ||Accepting|| @ukigumos From a meme tag in my other blog

Readmore, because it got long (~18k) when I went through canon source, because there isn't too much content for me to go through in threads (yet).

When thinking about Hibari, you mostly think about his grouchy cat-like temperament, but there are sides to him that make him an interesting person to figure out. Sure, he’s got a temper and sure he seems uncaring at first, but that’s not necessarily true- if you know where to look. Each person has various facets to them, ‘duality’ if you will.

There were some memories that Yamamoto had of Hibari that could give others some insights into the otherwise ‘fightophile’ skylark that everyone feared (for good reason).

To begin with, the time when the Ring battle between Vongola 10 and the Varia were going on, Hibari had left some lasting impressions on Yamamoto. What sorts of impressions you ask? Haha! Alright, alright, he’ll tell you.

During his battle with the Gola Mosca, anyone could tell just how formidable it… no, he was? Man, the arena sure looked intimidating. There were gatling guns around the perimeter that would shoot any moving object it sees within 30m radius, pressure sensitive mines buried underground, and the walls were entirely covered in barbed wire.

Hibari, named the strongest of the guardians, is their ace. The way he walked into the arena so calmly and confidently—man… he’s just really cool! Gola Mosca could fly like some kinda jet pack fighter all Zuzuzuuuuuu, and Hibari went bakbak!

That was it.

So anticlimactic, but that’s what makes him so cool. He walks in, wins without breaking a sweat, and hands the ring off. That really was what gave off a dominant stalking black panther vibe to Yamamoto.

“Now, you, the one sitting over there. Come down here. Until I bite you to death, monkey boss of the mountain of monkeys, I can’t go home.”

This fight was way more interesting to watch. Xanxus stepped on a landmine and used the propulsion to launch himself to the side. He drew Hibari into the line of fire of the gatling guns, but both of them seemed unperturbed by the nuisance around them. The only thing on their minds was to fight- and win.

Hibari managed to force Xanxus to raise an arm in battle though he said he won’t raise an arm. Pretty sure he fought aiming to force him to raise an arm to gnaw at his pride a little bit. Just a theory of his.

Gola mosca started going crazy then after having shot Hibari in the leg.

Some stuff happened after that but… that’s not really relevant right now.

The next thing that happened during the Ring Battles was when everyone was poisoned by the uh… huh, they never were given a name, were they? Whatever it was! They were all poisoned with something that could subdue an elephant- but that’s not enough for Hibari!

Yamamoto distinctly remembers hearing the heavy sounds of metal slamming into metal as Xanxus and Tsuna were having their own battle. That stubborn guy really managed to get himself up onto his feet, beat a pole to death and free himself of the poison.

He then fought Prince Belphegor, the genius. He couldn’t see the battle happening himself, but he knew that Gokudera was helped by Hibari’s quick thinking and swift actions. With him released from the poison, he could help Lambo.

The guy is secretly a team player when he needs to be. He came all the way to help Yamamoto get the Rain ring to be freed from the poison.

“You would mess up the discipline if you die don school grounds. If you want to die, go do so outside.”

That is so like him to say. Yamamoto likes to believe that Hibari was really telling him to get out there and do what he does best: be there for his friends as support. Even though he was beat up pretty badly, he still tried to move- probably to seek the others who were in need of help. That’s when Yamamoto suggested a player change, which he agreed to, handing off his ring to Yamamoto.

In the meanwhile Gokudera saved Ryohei and ye, the rest is history!

The stoic guy may mask some of his concern or care behind Namimori, but he does have the ability to work with others… on his terms. There was something about seeing him beaten but still silently intending to do more made Yamamoto realize just how much responsibility and drive Hibari had.

It was so much that even Yamamoto had to feel impressed by it. That’s their ace for ya! Leading by example, showing the rest of the guardians the kind of level they have to get to.

No wonder he considers them all as weak herbivores, huh?

(ref ch. 118-120, 127-128, 130)

-

What else was there? Ah! That representative battle with the little guys? He can’t forget about the time Hibari really joined another team JUST so he could have his fun in fighting strong opponents and also be unhindered by ‘crowding’. That is so like him, haha!

Hibari came out with a baby atop his head instead of one of his little birds. The resemblance of the two is uncanny, and someone may have leaked the information to the rest of them at one point that the two were actually related. How exactly, he didn’t know, but it seems that the bloodline runs strong.

Anyways, it really didn’t take long for Ryohei to have lost his ‘match’ against Hibari. Yanno how it is, Ryohei runs in head first, forgets about protecting the watch and loses instantly. Really speaks to Hibari’s focus, Yamamoto thinks.

He may like to fight, but he’s goal-oriented. He won’t forget about his task: defeating his opponents. Any opening to destroy a watch will be taken advantage of, even if it means the ‘fun fight’ comes to an end quicker.

“There was actually one other reason that I didn’t join your team… your team is full of people I really want to bite to death.”

Yanno? Yamamoto was kind of excited to hear that from him at first. He’s usually only ever referred to the guardians as weak bugs or herbivores, so acknowledging that he wanted to bite some of them made it seem like he acknowledged their strength a little bit.

Yamamoto really admires Hibari’s strength and his drive, so being regarded as worthy enough to want to bite to death (and it not being something related to having broken a rule to warrant it in the first place) was a good thing.

Okay, it’s also kind of a bad thing, ahaha! Yamamoto doesn’t know how to feel about having Hibari boring holes into the back of his head because he wants to fight.

As much as Yamamoto find challenges to be fun, Gokudera and he had their roles to play as support for their boss.

“You aren’t the same species as me, you’re just bugs. Weak little bugs.”

Ah… maybe he should take that back. Maybe he didn’t quite see them as worthy then. Maybe that’s just him taunting them, trying to goad a reaction out of them to rile their fighting spirit?

You think he’d answer if asked?

(Ref ch. 361 + 363)

-

Hmm… some other memory that made a lasting impression on him? Ah, there was that one time he found Hibari injured and had coaxed him into allowing being escorted to the hospital. On one hand it was shocking to see him injured to begin with. It wasn’t anything fatal, but it was still significant enough to be worrying.

Initially, Hibari was being stubborn in wanting to be left alone, to deal with his injuries by himself- but you know Yamamoto! He’s a stubborn one! Like one of those Shibas who will stamp their butts to the ground and allow their leash to squish their face beyond recognition as their owners desperately beg to go home.

Hibari has a nice view of Shiba Inus, finding them loyal and intelligent- which isn’t wrong! Many know them for their willful nature. They’re quite loyal and loving if you’re close to them.

He still thinks about it every now and then, but maybe it’s the whole tranquility thing, that allowed Yamamoto to slowly coax Hibari into allowing him to take him to the hospital. If you were to ask him, he thinks the big turning point is the apple rabbits. His tune really changed once Yamamoto mentioned cutting some apple rabbits for him.

Not only that, when they approached the hospital, he not-so-subtly reminded Yamamoto about the promised apple rabbits. Guess it’s true that the guy has a soft spot for cute little animals. It as a bit of ‘gap moe’ as Haru termed it.

“Hahi? Sure, Hibari-san is still a bit scary, but when he’s surrounded by cute birds or a little hedgehog, the cuteness factor cuts some of his scariness! He gives into them if they speak upon Haru’s behalf you know? It’s scary and cute!”

When Hibari asked if Yamamoto would allow it to be lonely, he honestly… thought it was kind of cute? For a guy who was a lone wolf and hated crowding, he was quick to suggest allowing the lone apple rabbit to have a friend. He did hear that rabbits were social creatures and should ideally be kept in pairs, and if that was the thought process, it was kind of cute that Hibari would be so considerate towards apple rabbits.

It was like he could see what Haru meant by Hibari’s consideration to cute little animals by listening to them or by wanting for them to have a companion to not feel lonely.

Now if only he could be that considerate towards his human companions, right? Haha! That would be a dream- or maybe a nightmare in Tsuna’s case. Poor guy would probably have a heart attack.

Now, Yamamoto had absolute confidence in his vision. As not only an athlete but a swordsman, his vision and his hearing were sensitive. He didn’t miss the smallest hint of a smile upon nudging the two apple rabbits closer together.

What neither of them would know was that both parties were thinking something was cute in that very moment.

It came as a surprise! Hibari and cute in the same thought? Gokudera and Ryohei both would rush him to the hospital for a brain scan if they’d heard him say so. Mn? Maybe Haru would agree with him?

Not gonna lie, it was kinda nice sharing apple rabbits together. It is possible to have a conversation with Hibari and it not evolve into: Let me bite you to death for [insert some kind of Namimori rule here].

Huh? Cheating? Look, Yamamoto can’t remember all the rules, okay? There are some real arbitrary rules there- like, ‘no crowding’!

Eh? What was so impactful about this? Ahaha! Yeah!

No, huh? Hahaha! YEAH! That’s all you’re getting from him!

Truly, Yamamoto isn’t beating the Shiba Inu allegations.

(Ref thread ehe)

[ukigumos]

._. People enjoy reading your depiction of Hibari and I do too. . o . / I like your threads with Neo. And don't let being ESL stop you. Your studies of Hibari from the original text to English help us understand him.

« ooc / meluna -

Thank you! I really enjoy writing with Neo's Haru and Yamamoto. Hibari has a soft spot for them but he's so emotionally stunted OTL I need to finish combing through the manga but Hibari is such a fascinating little weirdo (affectionate)... He has a very obvious appreciation towards art (or I guess literature?) in Japanese but it's really hard to pinpoint that in English and I'm still trying to figure that out...

[whiskeysmulti]

.Whiskey. You know I always wondered if any of my muses were more popular than the others. And then I looked at my tracker.

Looks like in order it's Gokudera, Dino, Hibari, and Mukuro who rank top 4 they're the only ones with draft counts in double digits unless I've missed a lot of threads lol. Gokudera's count being in the 40s with the others in the teens or less tells me a lot. lol

[thehandworld]

send "Who doesn't lock the door?!" to walk in on my muse pleasuring themselves (From Hibari, your choice of verse)

send "Who doesn't lock the door?!" to walk in on my muse pleasuring themselves @whiskeysmulti

Hand around his cock while he started to stroke it quicker, his mouth hanging open as he pants, a puff of breath going out as he tries to keep his voice low. Everyone already left for the day and he was hanging around the male changeroom, mostly because one thing led to another and he just... Stayed there.

As the Rain was lying down on the bench, he just had a cold shower but he couldn't calm down. Fuck... As he moans his other hand grasps his cock quicker, while the other was thrusting slightly in his ass, he should know better. Hiba... As he closed his eyes, he couldn't help where his mind went. Kyo... ya... He moaned as he kept thrusting and stroking his cock at the same time.

But as the door opened he just stopped there.

Fear crawled all over his back and then to his face, going pale and still as he slowly turned his face to look at who exactly got inside and... Hi... bari?! His voice came out moaning as his cock happily reacted to the other presence. THAT IS NOT THE TIME FOR THAT BODY! He yelled to his mind.

The scent that came when Hibari opened the door made everything hard for him as he was still standing still, fuck... His mind was going blank at that, not knowing what he should do, but his body was reacting very nicely as it started to sweat more and even have a little more precum as he could feel his hole clenching around his fingers.

[nxvola]

𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒.

Mun ( she / her , not a native English speaker ) is of age and I am not at all new to this fandom, however ! It has been ages since I wrote Hibari. My portrayal is 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍 𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐃 ( as his background was mostly kept a mystery so I came up with my own ideas. ) and also what I remember from the series. Please do not re-post, paraphrase or use my headcanons as your own. I will not tolerate that. No one would.

Real life always comes first, my activity will be shaped accordingly to it. This is basically a stress-free zone. I come and go, will not expect fast replies and will appreciate any show of consideration and understanding ! As I am not a fast writer.

When it comes to fighting, Hibrai 𝐈𝐒 strong and has very high resilience. He adapts quickly in battles and won't give up easily. That does not mean he would not lose ever but I want you to know that I will never ever tone down his strength abilities and likewise, 𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐌𝐄. One muse can lose and in our next thread they can win !! Hibari always thrives to be better so he will come after your muse if he loses to surpass his previous self / strength. Though, again, it will depend on the thread and won't be so easy. We can always plot ! PS. Always use an assuming tone while writing a fight scene. That is the golden rule and well key to writing fighting scenes.

If your muse is asking to be bitten to death by constantly insulting him then he will kill them.

Shipping highly depends on chemistry between muns and muses and well, at least a little development is needed. I will not not ship or write smut with minors.

Triggers are not tagged and beware that even though the series did not focus on what sort of crimes the mafia handles, this blog will. And it may not be for the weak-hearted.

𝐈 𝐀𝐌 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐘𝐎𝐔. I saw this in someone's rules and honestly, so true, this is a social hobby after all. If I write starters, answer asks etc. and get absolutely nothing in return, I am sorry but I will no longer waste my energy on you. This may sound harsh but it is also for my own good.

Lastly, do not god-mod, meta-game, cause stress / drama, vague post etc, etc. And do not forget that mun does not equal to muse.

After all the threads where chiasa nurses someone else back to health, it'd be interesting to see her in that position for a change

And taking chiasa out to karaoke and being suprised how good her singing voice is lol - bonus points if it's a japanese muse: because her singing voice sounds like mirosa hibari, which they could've heard thanks to their parents when they were young and just go 'wait a minute'-

The Main Event

We’ll get there under the cut, you can probably guess what it is if you’ve read the chapter, but today is a big one my lovelies. First though, I do want to take a moment to highlight our finale with Garp & Koby & SWORD. We’ve already talked about the subtle ways Koby & Hibari echo what we saw out of Kiku in Wano, particularly the quiet parts. This is just beating you over the head with it. Big moment for Garp and Koby and those are awesome...but Garp just went down a lot like Oden and this parable we start with is sooo blatant. Complete with Koby learning the difference between a noble and senseless sacrifice, not to mention this age and potential of youth element. How high can your ceiling go? But...this is important. It’s an inversion; Garp here is arguing against total equality and for let’s say at least discretion if not discrimination. 

And the other shoe still hasn’t dropped on Drake’s report. All to say, we’ve been escalating through this cutaway to a hell of a lead-in as we finally...

Leeeet’s get ready to...respect Michael Buffer’s intellectual property because he is a litigious, litigious man. No guarantee we’re coming back fully to the main story next chapter true, but we’re seeing Egghead again. Don’t see how Marco could outdo Garp’s lead-in anyways. Just like the previous chapter, we see the narration get a little funky. Listing the headlines for tomorrow’s newspaper. Which does have me wondering if a hunch is paying off. Are these ships arriving the next morning? Meaning we have skipped over a night in the lab? That’s what the structure implies. 

I care because of what it opens up the potential for. We cut away around the time Sentomaru & Stussy are coordinating evacuation efforts. We frame it as the events of the day before. There was already a morning paper leading into Egghead and we see Morgans reacting to early leads but wanting to spin the story. This whole incident seems predicated on Luffy stumbling into a tense situation that has nothing to do with him and last we left off the Straw Hats were in pretty dire straits. So if things turned around overnight...how? This is the basic type of structure I’ve been keen on, well before we really got we were doing it in the intermission. Think Zou, if we start going forwards/backwards on what comes next that opens up a lot. There’s one other aspect here too: 

The Blackbeard Pirates are floating around the main story as well. Process of elimination suggests Lafitte & Catarina, a pair that suggests stealth. This is a huge wildcard if the timeline is that they slipped in while the scramble on Egghead was spiraling out of control. Also note the direction of the Frontier Dome; if LaTarina were arriving at the same time as the Navy you’d theoretically be able to see them on either side of this panel. So I’m excited at the prospect of cutting back to Egghead on the next day. If they’ve already evacuated the rank-and-file, that’d make the Night in the Lab a mystery like God Valley or Onigashima. No one is quite sure what happened.

Let’s call it getting the first number right on a lottery draw. Could be wrong, could go any number of ways. But the “Subverted Sabaody” is very possible from this situation. The Straw Hats stand tall in an incident of historic proportions because something shifted overnight. They’re in control of the situation enough to handle the heavy hitters and the Grand Fleet smashes the siege. Of course, y’all know my other wrinkle here. A sociable quartermaster stepping out onto the scene after we cut away actually threads the needle here stupidly well. Even beyond the Grand Fleet. That could solve a lot of problems.

Think of it this way. We’ve seen it before several times. The Straw Hats drift in, get entangled in the island’s plot, usually take some kind of loss. Then what? What happens after the point we cut away here? They get together, we piece out the puzzle, and launch the counterattack. I’m saying the shell game is we missed that part looking elsewhere. So then, why would you tell a story like that?

✶⤷ ​ hi, i'm ramsey or just rams, for short. i use they / its pronouns, and i'm 30 years old. i have 2 cats, and they're both little bastards. i've been rping on and off for over 12 years now, honestly, and 7 of those weren't all spent rping on just tumblr. ive rped both on discord and in chatzy quite a few times, and i really enjoy chatzy because of how low maintenance it is and am absolutely open to threading over there and posting a big manuscript on my blog later.

✶⤷ ​anyway i didn't want to make an indie, but the dEMONS in me wanted me to make an indie... so yeah, after whatever possessed me into making an indie rp blog let me go a little bit, i suddenly remembered that since i've been out of ani rp for the past like 7 or so years that that meant i didn't have any of my ani icons anymore, just my real fcs. i started promptly punching and kicking the air in annoyance because i know DAMN well how hard it is to unearth any collection of grell or izaya icons ever at this point in time.

✶⤷ however!!! i did finally manage to find an icon template that i liked and i just made one set per muse for both their ani fc as well as for their real fcs because i just. cant be assed to make multiples. i'm descriptive, you figure it out LOL.

✶⤷ hoooooopefully it looks alright on a white background (i'm always on dark mode. my eyes are bad.), please please please let me know if it doesn't! i don't want to have my things inaccessible to others or cause major eye strain, bc ik the feeling.

✶⤷ i'm gonna have a couple of open starters thrown up next, so feel free to grab one once they go out if you'd like. hello to all the people that followed me as well, nice to meet you!! while i'm here i'm going to figure out my tags situation here so i have it handy and so that anyone cant take anything and blacklist it if they want.

✶⤷ seriously it's just an ungodly amount of tags below. jesus christ why am i like this. i'll definitely be putting them on a page for ease of access when it's not nearly 6:30 am kjdfhkjdf. and i'm posting a separate tag dump post so i can actually find this one again.
