Alright! So the dormouse OC was apparently going to happen!
I keep thinking about him, so I'm going to have to turn that Tokgasi mouse deserter from chapter 3 into a new OC, and maybe include him in another chapter before his own AU.
Tumblr media
After doing some more research this weekend, I guess I headcanon 'field mice' as being dormice (maybe specifically Japanese dormice). Dormice are more closely related to squirrels and beavers than they are actual mice, apparently.
They are also relatively rare. Which would make the Weasel Unit see them as perfect spies to sneak into Flower Hill disguised as squirrels, since it is unlikely that Flower Hill would know about the species. Any quick check while infiltrating a unit or town would prove that the tails were real anyway, so another dormouse infiltration AU could be a go.
It would easy enough for a dormouse who was used to living in poverty to desert to Flower Hill and try to live unnoticed among the populace, either because of horrible treatment at the hands of the weasels and Tokgasi, or because they are just seeking a better life than what was offered.
Tumblr media
As for his name, the alternative name for a dormouse is 'sleepy mouse,' since they hibernate during the winter, so I am naming him Jollin (Sleepy).
Of course, there is the danger of what would happen if someone were to find out about who he really is, or if Tokgasi ever finds him again.
Tumblr media
Obviously, I already have Flower Hill knowing who and what he is, and capitalizing on having him continue to receive orders, while sending back some true but somewhat useless information to his handlers.
I see him as having a calm, laid back job as a mail-carrier and supply deliverer between a group of small villages. Kind of like some BBC Masterpiece Theater series with a subplot about the kindly neighborhood fixture hiding a dark past. Which is what I said about the weasel doctor pretending to be an otter, so I might just be thinking about those types of plots a lot.
But Jollin could be good at solving mysteries and disputes between neighbors. He himself is a very frightened individual, and tends to act like a typical scared mouse. Everyone assumes it is some type of trauma from losing his village and family, and try their best to make him feel welcome. Still , he is determined enough to go through with Tokgasi's training in order to become a scout and escape the clutches of the weasels to begin with.
But where do his true loyalties lie? Will he turn against Flower Hill and rejoin the Weasel Unit should his luck change, or if Tokgasi forces him to join again with no way out? Or will he stay in an uncertain future where everyone in his new home may turn against him?
Tumblr media
In a remote area, Jollin could listen to all the gossip of the neighbors and also report back on that if he gets any important information. Or, he could be innocent, and desperately trying to avoid attention. Which would allow the Flower Hill Commanders to send dismantled weapons and ammunition to the villages through him, since he would be the only one not to actually inspect why so many packages were going through the area.
Just a fun little AU.

The Hill They Chose to Die On
Let's talk about Flower Hill and my headcanon about it.
Flower Hill is geologically weird, even before Pica rearranged the landscape.
Tumblr media
Then there is the matter of the Akabana (赤鼻) no Hakaba (墓場). When Buggy's crew think he is dead, they do this :
Tumblr media
That brought back to me something I read in Frank Herbert's "The Godmakers" (translated back from the French translation, because that's the one I have in my bookcase)
-No big graveyard, no national monument or things like that ? Stetson asked.
-Not one. But they have this custom of burying their dead vertically and planting a fruit tree above. And there are some very big orchards.
-Do you think it's important?
-It's bothering me.
So the first thing I thought was : It's a graveyard. This is why they planted a field where no one will be able to harvest it easily, and why no one thinks it weird that Lady Scarlet is buried there, in the middle of the flowers.
Tumblr media
This is what I meant to post.
Then my brain said : what if it's not a graveyard, but one big grave.

Main headcanon : Flower Hill is a burial site. Extra headcanon : Skypiea's poneglyph says "Dressrosa", and former ancient weapon Poseidon, the mermaid who could speak with Sea Kings, is buried under Flower Hill.

Update for The Rod That Blocks the Lightning: I will be posting the first few chapters Sunday or Monday evening
Summary: With the destruction of the main forces of the invading Weasel Army, the surviving enemy factions feud against each other for control. Geumsaegi’s assumptions on easily continuing his mission is dashed by the competence of the new-coming leaders, as well as the continued survival of his nemesis, Mulmangcho. However, between the ineptitude of the general ranks and the infighting, Geumsaegi can still see a slim chance at success. With a new order of espionage and scout hunters coming into play, will the disguised squirrel be able to protect his beloved Flower Hill without sacrifice?
