Hello, I am the anon who theorized about Zoro's background. Now I'm thinking about the rest of the strawhats! But I understand if this is outside of your interests, since most of your op art is about akataka family

Today I got Sanji. (I expect him to be really good at figure skating, considering his fighting style!).

Childhood: Judge decided the boys would go into hockey and Reiju into figure skating. Sanji, however, did not perform well thanks to his father "teaching style". He actually favored figure skating and would practice it with his mom - Sora being a retired athlete. The rest of his family reacted badly to him liking a "girly" sport, but Reiju trained with him in secret.

Teen: under the guidance of Zeff, Sanji learns to love hockey. However, he started denying any love for figure skating after leaving his birth family. The rest of his brother all went into different winter sports

I imagine the pirates suffer a heavy loss, and everyone goes into specialized training (the time skip, if you will).

There comes the Kamabakka, which I imagine is an organized group of gender non-conforming people who are either:

A) Figure skaters

B) Hockey players with strong figure skating backgrounds

After training with them, his skating style gains much more speed (sky walking)

hello again anon!!! i am always interested in strawhat content haha, and zosan was actually my entering point (i just ended up latching hard onto akataka lol) so im totally happy to talk about this!

(btw this is anon's prev ask about zoro's bg in the op hockey au.)

i actually love the idea that sanji struggles with the gender stereotypes of it all, and how he starts with loving figure skating but ends up getting into hockey anyways! and i love the B option for the kamabakka!!! sanji learning to skate so fast it's like he's walking on the sky!!! 🤩 also the idea that they might do a drag-on-ice show... love.

and now im just thinking about a pirates team for-charity show put on with the help of the cross guild, where mihawk performs, but also gets zoro to do something and zoro finds out sanji also used to do figure skating and they end up doing a pairs thing together. also, sanji in a dress and figure skates... 💘

re: the "heavy loss" i've said before that ace probably ends up suffering a career-ending something bc of shitty ref akainu during a pirates vs whitebeards game, so i suppose i'm imagining less of a specialized training, and more of like an existential "what does this mean for our careers" sort of thing for the players, and the guilt they must feel.

and then rayleigh (or maybe kuma? who can be a sports counselor? who perhaps had trouble with some higher-ups trying to manipulate him into falsifying some health records so some players can keeo going even tho it wasn't recommended? idk) encourages them on the off-season to seek something else besides just hockey training, and luff goes with rayleigh, zoro ends up moving back in with his dad (mihawk) for the summer, and sanji discovers the kamabakka, etc etc etc.

but ye, love the food for thought! thanks for the ask!!!

[note from future me: HEY EVERYONE GO READ THIS FIC !!! :DDD]

I LITERALLY SQUEALLED WHEN I SAW THIS ASK YESTERDAY AND THEN HAVENT BEEN ALONE WITH FREE TIME UNTIL RIGHT NOW BUT OMG AM I EXCITED ! you're getting my live reactions now YIPPEE !!!

"In the laughing rivulets that filled his chest, it whispered maybe." I LOVE this sentence. This whole section is so vivid and MMMMMM

"He felt, and felt, and felt and there was barely even Phoenix anymore, just a haunted angry thing choking on feelings and moving on instinct." This quote isn't even half a page down from the last but there's genuinely already like a billion lines like this that are just spectacular; that with so few words move me so deeply

"She knelt beside the threadbare couch and took his hand, and begged him to get up. Said she’d be a better daughter... " OFIEJOIJWEFOEWA AND THAT'S NOT TO EVEN MENTION THE THE NEXT PARAGRAPH WITH TRUCY which actually made my eyes prick with tears

I really like the way you write Larry btw ! [edit from 30 minutes later me: i like how u write everyone actually x3,, fran and miles get special shoutouts too]

"—A voice in his dreams, it sounded like Mia" OFJEWOIAJFEOIFJDLFJOSJFELS

GUMSHOE IN A KNIT SCARF EEEEEKSKSSS SO CUTE

the little bit with everyone saying bye got me to chuckle xDD

OKAY CHAPTER 1 DONE!!!! CRYPTID.. CRYPTIID..... OMG... i knew this was going to be a good read but AHHH i loved it sm x333 you're dialogue is so fun. like the conversations feel real, and they go off on little tangents in really charming ways,, i really enjoyed the little moments like Maggey excitedly talking about being suspected a second time, or Phoenix holding the phone far from his ear during his call with Fran. (and that's just to name a couple examples) (ALSO FRAN CARING SO MUCH <333 I LOVE OMG) okokok onto chapter 2

wait oops i got sucked in and forgot to take live notes LOL,, anyways this comment is about the little reactions from Phoenix in regards to Miles' idiosyncracies,, specifically (in regards to MIles' grabbing his bicep) "That old habit. The Phoenix of a year ago would have ached at the sight. Current Phoenix just ached." and "Miles had gotten more expressive with his hands since his time away in Germany. Phoenix thought it suited him." I loved these inclusions so so so so much. it's like, despite everything, phoenix still cares so deeply. OH OH AND NOW PHOENIX LIGHTLY SCOLDING EDGEWORTH AGUHHH I LOVE !!! I LOVE !!

"'Yeah, you’re a pompous ruffly ass'" lmao

i guess i have a soft spot for phoenix and trucy's relationship bc woah here i am tearing up again at phoenix talking about her <333 you write him exactly how i imagine him <33

holy shit. the way you (or, Edgeworth, i guess) describes Wright's flavor of honesty? you've put his character into words so eloquently.. god i love him and i love you for writing him so good omg. and then the end of that short monologue hits like a truck aughghhhooooghhh

OH AND THEY'RE SO TENDER. HOW DARE THE CHAPTER END LIKE THAT BWAHAH FIOJOIAJDFJLSDKJFAOEIO AHH !!!

CRYPPTTIIDIDDDXDD AUUGHHHHHH !!!!! i need to stress again just how much i love your style of writing !!!!111! 1 the banter is so alive and the levity throughout (despite Phoenix's emotional state) makes the moments of tenderness and of the characters proving how deeply they care for each other hit so hard,, this was wonderful !!! thank you for sharing w the fandom and with me!! :DDD LOOKING FORWARD TO CHAPTER 3 FOAIWEJFLAKJD

ETIE, HUH? THE NAME BRINGS TO MIND the muscular girl he'd usually spot in the training grounds, serious expression on her face and making two-hundred squats look like a walk in the park. he'd always regarded her with some mixture of admiration and envy, as a fellow retainer for a royal family. . . and maybe just a little bit of anxiety. hard to ignore the impression she gave off, after all.

so turns out she was really good at flowers, huh. . . he'd never've thought.

as they start walking toward the meadows that strew the island on its south-facing side, he listens happily to alfred's gentle answers. roses are a pretty standard pick, but they make plenty of sense for someone like him——he's sure he's seen one or two pinned to the prince's outfit before, both in and out of battle. and red ones are supposed to be the most heartfelt expression of emotions to match their deep and vibrant color, right? prince alfred's always seemed like the sincere and honest kind.

there's a piece taking shape in his head at the thought, and he almost misses the other's return question; though it's not much of an issue when the prince continues onto the second part of what he'd asked a beat later.

" ' outside of what we're given? ' " rosado suddenly parrots, confusion clouding interest for a second as steps slow. "what do you mean?" the ' if ' statement wasn't what he'd been expecting ; the thought that this could be anything but a fun getaway hadn't even crossed his mind.　/　@floreix

[kevinsdsy]

hi, first lucas anon from earlier here and honestly i am BAFFLED, FLABBERGASTED @ the anon reaction that my ask elicited. i wasn't expecting him to be someone's favorite character! (??) i was merely curious to why lucas showed up more in your au than, for example, cody or xavier or ananya who are in jeremy's closer friend group, so i was trying to ask without bashing him in that ask; thank you for answering ! it's clear to me now.

(re: my ask, i was merely worried that he was going to become friends with jean in the au when we haven't gotten any real closure in tsc yet! i don't find him triggering but a potential friendship w jean in any fic makes me (personally) feel wary which is also why i asked you about yours. this has nothing to do with your lovely au, and is just a general tsc fandom opinion of mine: while i wouldn't compare him to luther either or consider him a villain, i think it's disingenuous to say that he didn't play a bigger role in jean's sexual assault at the end of the book and i noticed that people wouldn't even call it sa (grayson....literally bit... him.....) when defending lucas' actions. people see that lucas isn't well-liked and assume there is no critical thinking involved whatsoever, even though it's not unreasonable for someone to feel put off by his character !)

hiii omg wait if you’re asking me why lucas was more in the au than cody, xavier and ananya i actually do have an answer for that. it’s because i’ve assigned him to shawn’s friend group– like i guess we’ve all noticed i’ve given shawn a big role even tho we know (basically) NOTHING about him so like lucas is just more interactive when it comes to shawn. assigning lucas to shawn was just easy because it’s a character name i actually remember since i keep forgetting who had smaller appearances 😭😭😭 (there are also a few interactions between shawn & jeremy + jeremy & lucas because i consider them more teammates than friends but obviously thats my own interpretation)

also i was definitely not planning on giving jean and lucas a friendship actually. i also mentioned it in the replies under your inbox, but i actually don’t think it’s appropriate for me to push the way jean handles his feelings towards lucas and especially for a social media au— i genuinely will leave that up with nora since she knows all these characters the best.

i do thank you for pointing out some of the other characters tho!! i will try to include them more <3333 (it really is harder to include so many characters than one might think tbh 😭)

and also i’m sure the other anon wasn’t feeling ill towards you and was i think lucas’ role in the situation might have sparked up a lot of discussions???? but also i havent come across them i didnt know about the luther comparison nor did i know people are saying it wasn’t sexual assault… because it definitely was.

Bait taken.

Tonia rises back onto her feet, turning to the new face - and a new face they are, in spite of how familiar it looks. Oddly, and irritatingly so. Her expression, which had been carefully set into childish vanity, unwillingly flattens into a blank frown on seeing the young man.

He reminds me of... him... and Teucer? No, that can't be right— Her eyebrows knit together for a moment, thinking. Here appears some random guy with a weird fox, with those features, with her mask...

Were she a normal person, or even one of her very boring coworkers, this would be a somewhat strange and startling situation, perhaps. Unfortunately, Tonia is a little more aware about esoteric things than she wants to be - and the knowledge of divergent leaves and crossing branches on cosmic trees is one of them. Poor her. That this information is now relevant and coming into use.

Maybe. She might just be overworked and hit her head on a rock while taking a nature hike, and this is a weird dream she's having while unconscious. Hell knows.

Either way, she should at least do some fact-checking before she proceeds too far on any assumptions. If only so that the Tsaritsa doesn't complain at her about not doing her due diligence. (The less pointless nagging from that old hag, the better!)

"My mask? I got it from the garbage dump." The 'dump' in question being the Fatui. Tonia folds her arms, quickly slotting away any thoughtful observation in favor of her preferred face - that of a blunt, naive brat. She makes a small show of squinting at the concerningly-familiar-but-not man, lips pursed a little too comically, before raising an eyebrow. "Hey, you have the same mask too. Did you get yours from the same dump as me then? Are you one of the garbage pickup men?"

A pause. She looks at the hydro fox again, pouting now. "I hope not. Then that means your water fox is also stinky and un-drinkable."

@mavisolas (location Hotel Transylvania maybe?)

Zane had been a tremendous fucking coward, he knew that, he didn't need anyone else to tell him. It had kept him up at night, finally getting a chance to show Mavis how he felt and then... bailing after what was probably the best kiss of his life. Zane knew it wasn't to do with Mertle--those feelings, those memories had burned into cinders a long time ago and yet something kept him from giving Mavis everything he so desperately wanted to give. In his mind he contemplated what to do for days, rehearsed his speech in the mirror until it was second nature and bought the biggest bouquet of flowers he could carry, marching towards the woman he knew he loved. -- He just needed the balls to tell her that.

"I fucked up-- and you probably hate me, but I just need to you know why." he managed to croak out, his throat closing up at the sight of her beauty. "I have liked you for so long and I was so scared you would find out and it would ruin our friendship.. and then we kissed-- and it changed my world. Mavis I couldn't believe you kissed me!" he continued, a little laugh of surprise at the memory escaping him. "And I got scared because... I ruin everything. I mess up simple coffee orders and laundry and-- my last relationship.. not that you'd want to be in a relationship with me.. but if you did... Mavis I would try so hard to everything right this time." he dared step a little closer sucking in a deep breath and he willed himself to say it. "I uh.. I think I'm-- no, I know that I am in love with you..-- is that okay?"

dammit. maybe dick should've stayed quiet because while he was generally very good at pop quizzes --- there was just no way bruce had a secret, sixth finger. " four. " he answers instead. vaguely proud of himself for being able to deduce what his eyes couldn't translate. he must've failed that too though, by the way gloved hands come to frame his face. instinctively, he leans into it for a second. it's gentle --- the feather light touch of an examiner with practice but eventually the mounting pressure still makes dick's lips twist in displeasure and his body jerk to escape it. the room was spinning, his head felt like a trash compactor slowly but surely crushing his brain and WHY was he suddenly under a spotlight? nightwing hadn't realized he'd closed his eyes with the discomfort until he tried to open them again. he withdrew entirely, like he could escape what could outrun the flash (on a bad day) and yet the movement doesn't feel great either (and the light miraculously still catches him). distantly, he's aware he needs to focus but right now that was like trying to write a letter on an etch-a-sketch in an earthquake. bruce's voice always did cut through the static --- even now. it takes him a second to process what said words mean, and it's that same moment that bruce apparently decides dick needs an incentive to stay still. he's too slow right now --- the fog too strong for his instincts to kick in so it's only by the time he's already chained up that he's trying to evade it, eyes sloppily opening and closing when the lights simultaneously became too much and not enough at alternating intervals. voice more like a whine when he says: " no, no, give me a second b, i'll be fine. " he's walked off worse. MUCH worse even, and a little lucky shot to the head did NOT constitute bruce going back into the fight ALONE. but of course, batman's call. he's gone before dick's heavy lips can form another protest. luckily, dick grayson was raised to know all of batman's little tricks. had used a cuff similar to this in a thousand and one scenarios on his own and had trained extensively on how to get out of them. silly bruce. with a smug feeling blooming in his brain it's only when he realizes he can't see the latch, nor are his hands steady enough to precisely find it that he realizes the flaw in his plan. RIGHT. despite what his vision is telling him he does not in fact have three right hands. Hmm, new plan. when the lights go back out he sighs in relief --- a small bit of pressure loosening. but alfred's voice --- a voice he loves and cherishes and hopes to hear far more often than he does is currently drilling into his skull like a construction project on a deadline, he doesn't even think about taking his own earpiece out until he's already done it, last understandable words a simple " i can't --- " that doesn't really have an object. that of course just makes it so he can hear the fight he's not currently apart of and he pulls, uselessly at the chain once again. think, grayson, THINK. (ow.) he's sitting with his forehead against the cool metal of the bat-cuff, trying to will the concussion away when he feels the air shift. either it's batman or dick's going to have a very awkward conversation with a gun man. " i'm almost out. " maybe mentally, but the bat-cuff was as good as the day b built it. " just give me a second. "

[felixferitas]

cont. from here with @fawnworked.

sometimes, felix feels like nobody ever truly sees him. it is a hilarious, ridiculous thought that most would scoff and turn their noses up at if he ever said it aloud. especially coming from a man from his social standing, with his privilege. he doesn't mean to draw more ire than he does already, so this is something that felix mostly keeps to himself, one of the many things that go unsaid between oliver and himself. it's why oliver had felix on the hook of his fishing line so easily, with his brave vulnerable honesty about his upbringing, despite knowing how alienating or uncomfortable it is to talk about such things. it's not the style of the catton's, that's for sure. anything uncomfortable or hard to talk about that affects them directly just isn't dealt with or acknowledged. what do they teach these boarding school psychos? latin, water polo, child abuse, felix'd said, and then put his hand on oliver's knee. it was just light-hearted enough for the truth of the joke to slip by unnoticed. "you think?" he hums, biting the flesh of the inside of his cheek in thought as his gaze flickers, taking note of how vulnerable and small oliver looks. "and then, i suppose, there are things you find out about yourself at the least opportune moment. things you hide away or can't confront in the light of day." felix lets the words hang in the air and doesn't elaborate on what he means, letting them drift away like smoke as he takes another drag of his cigarette. this too, will be swept under the rug neatly.

Congrats on 300 followers!! 🥳 ❤️

not sure if this will tickle your brain in the same way it did mine, but I've been thinking about K/oito trying to hold it together in a meeting with T/surumi and T/sukishima after the new soap he started using puts an insane tickle in T/suki's nose. T/suki is too occupied to translate K/oito's frantic dialect for T/surumi and K/oito has to communicate with T/surumi himself, absolutely squirming with a mixture of the nerves T/surumi brings on and his steadily growing arousal as T/sukishima struggles to suppress his increasingly tickly sneezes next to him, brushing up against him with each contraction as they sit shoulder to shoulder. He tries his best to keep his voice steady as he blesses T/sukishima but it's a losing battle...

THANK UUUU god your scenario ideas are always so hot and descriptive even when they're just simple little things like this... k/oito being able to feel t/suki shift as he sneezes because they're so close together... 😩

THERES SO MUCH POTENTIAL WITH THOSE THREE i've had a similar scenario in my drafts but roles reversed--

k/oito having to whisper in t/suki's ear to communicate with t/surumi but he's got a bad cold so he's sniffling right in t/suki's ear and muffling sneezes into his shoulder or ducking behind him to sneeze out of tsu/rumis sight...
