#I loooove crocodile so much

[artificialflav]

To preface this, I am not fully caught up with One Piece (I'm at the end of Wano, in the transition to Egg Head), so I'm sure I am missing some details. I will also be reiterating the timeline with added info.

I am dyslexic, I'll try to fix any typos or grammar issue I can see. But if there is stuff I miss, no complaining LOL!! If I worded something in a way that doesn't make sense, please ask my meaning.

Well, with that all out of the way, HERE'S MY THOUGHTS!! I have a lot to say, so BUCKLE IN!!!

-Ages-

Crocodile’s Age, 44 (debut), 46 (after time skip)

Iva’s Age, 51 (debut), 53 (after time skip)

Dragon’s Age, 53 (debut), 55 (after time skip)

-A Timeline of Major Events-

38 years ago, the God's Valley incident happened. Iva being a slave during this, survived, and escaping with other slaves.

The Freedom Fighters made headlines 25 years ago.

Roger was executed 24 years ago

The Freedom Fighters became known as the Revolutionary army 22 years ago.

Crocodile starts Baroque Works 16 years ago.

-A Timeline of What We Know of Crocodile-

Crocodile Witnessed Roger's Execution. (At the age of 22)

Crocodile gained the rank of warlord in his early 20s.

Shortly after becoming a warlord, he was defeated by White Beard.

-Other Facts That Will be Relevant-

Dragon was 17 when the God's Valley incident happened.

The youngest person to join the marines, that we know of, was 16 (Koby).

Crocodile’s Birthday, September 5th, Luffy’s Birthday is May 5th.

Crocodile and Ivankov knew each other in the past, and what Iva knows about his past is big enough to be used as blackmail.

Crocodile wears rings on every finger except his ring finger.

Crocodile has a single earring on his right ear. (This one really isn’t that relevant, I just thought it was a funny nod to gay stuff. This isn’t a well known rule of thumb, but it is a funny coincidence.)

-My Thoughts (here's the mess)-

Okay, Crocodile's origin could be a couple different things, and I'm not sure that I really want to speculate on that too much, that really isn't the focus here.

(also, here are some other posts about this topic that I think help expand or valid my thoughts, zombie-eats-world's post about the crocodad theory, eroguron0nsense's post about crocodiles characteristics and his performance of masculinity, midnight-in-town's post about Crocodile's past outside crocodad)

>THE BLACK MAIL

Ivankov is a character introduced right off the bat to being the Queen of the queers, an iconic figure and leader in queer liberation/celebration. You are shown Iva's ability to manipulate the hormones in people's bodies. Then you tell us they have black mail on Crocodile. With the wording of the vivre card data book, it is very hard for me to believe it doesn't involve Crocodile being trans.

You can't just introduce a character with the ability to transition people, say they have black mail on Crocodile, and have it not be something trans related lol.

I will say, the black mail could also have a lot more baggage to it. Because if the info is just "Crocoboy is trans!" that to me is a little flat. Like yes, of course Crocodile wouldn't want to be outed, he would definitely want to protect his image and reputation by not letting that info get out. But why would anyone give a shit that he's trans, like what would that change in the World Government's eyes? Why would that be a big deal?? Like no way the reveal is just "Croodile is trans" and now everyone starts being transphobic to him lol. Unless, revealing that history would make a lot of other things known as well.

>THE TIMELINE

Crocodile became a warlord in his early 20s, so that gives us 20-23 (that is what is considered early 20s). He soon after becoming a warlord picks a fight with White beard and is defeated. "Soon after" is very vague, that could mean right after the status was official or maybe a year after. All we know is that his warlord status was fresh.

Crocodile witnessed Gol D. Roger's execution at the age of 22. With how impactful Gol's speech was, and with Crocodile's hinted at dream of becoming king of the pirates, it would make sense as to why he became a warlord so quickly. That gives us either 22 or 23 being the age of when he was given warlord status, (if that happened after the execution).

Crocodile experiencing a defeat soon after that would be very devastating. It's understandable why he would have this big grudge against WB. Which makes it all the weirder that he put that grudge aside in Marine Ford.

Let's say Crocodile became a warlord at 23, a year after the execution of Roger. Crocodile is bright-eyed and bushy tailed, running around for a year with his new status. At the age of 24 he picks a fight with WB, gets his ass kicked so hard he is completely demotivated to keep following his dream.

Crocodile relocated to Arabasta at the age of 30 to intact his plans with Baroque Works. That gives us a gap of six years. (if we go along with my proposed timeline).

Lastly, let's say Crocodile is Luffy's other parent. Crocodile conceiving Luffy would have had to happen when he was 27, or right before he turned 27. Crocodile's birthday is September 5th, Luffy's birthday is May 5th. IF Crocodile had some birthday fun with Dragon and was officially pregnant a couple of weeks after, that gives us ROUGHLY 32 weeks of pregnancy. Then he leaves Luffy, and 3 years later he starts Baroque Works.

AND DURING ALL OF THAT, Crocodile met with Iva to transition.

>QUESTIONS AND MORE SPECULATION

*How did Ivankov and Crocodile meet? How did Crocodile get to know Dragon?

-25 years ago, the Freedom Fighters became headlines. Now, that doesn't mean they weren't a group until then, it just means the group became public knowledge at that time. Crocodile would have been 21, this was before he was given warlord status, and could probably still be considered a rookie.

-Unless Iva and Crocodile met each other before then, the Freedom Fighters becoming public knowledge would have brought Dragon and Ivankov's existence into Crocodile's orbit. This could have also brought to light Iva's devil fruit abilities, piquing Crocodile's interest.

-A year later (24 years ago), Crocodile and Dragon were in the same place at the same time, for Roger's execution. Now, Dragon and Crocodile could have met then and there, or after.

=Major speculation time, gonna try and condense thoughts as best I can=

-Dragon could have joined the marines at 16. Could have quickly risen in the ranks. Dragon was 17 during God’s Valley. Garp could have dragged him along to help. Dragon didn’t like what he saw and went separate ways with the marines, then went to help save Iva and the others. Then later down the line formed the Freedom Fighters group with them.

- If Crocodile was Rocks's kid, he would have been at God’s Valley. Crocodile would have witnesses his father’s death. With how much the government fixates on the kids of big pirates, they would have known about Crocodile. If Crocodile was a girl at the time, they would have been looking for a daughter of Rocks.

-WB being a part of Rocks Pirates would have known about Rocks’s kid. Seeing how everything was turning out and possibly helping in stopping Rocks. Crocodile would have seen WB betray Rocks. WB knowing Crocodile would be killed if the government found him, took him in for a period of time. WB not known for caring for daughters helped establish Crocodile as Crocodile to protect the kid’s past and identify from the world government. Crocodile got good at passing as male.

-Crocodile still having a grudge, stayed with WB until he could fend for himself. Which could have been at 17 or younger. (That would have been before Teach joined the crew.) Crocodile soon after starts gunning for the position, king of the pirates. WB doesn’t discuss the time he cared for Crocodile as to protect him, but also because WB never saw Crocodile as one of his sons.

-Crocodile later sees the Freedom Fighters in headlines, and is intrigued by Iva’s powers. He also sees Dragon, the son of the man who helped kill his father, is now against the government. Crocodile and Dragon finally me meet, Iva and Crocodile finally meet. Crocodile eventually fights WB and losses and gives up on dreams.

+SO TO GET TO THE POINT!+

I believe Crocodile didn't officially transition until AFTER Luffy's birth. Because Crocodile would have already been trying to pass as male to protect his identity. Maybe he only saw being a guy as a necessity for his safety, not realizing it's also something he preferred. So any discomfort or joy he felt in his presentation would have been viewed from the lens of "am I safe or will my secret get out". Also, with WB being the one caring for him during those beginning years, not sure how delicate that old fashion fart would have been.

So Iva, Croc, and Dragon get to know each other after Roger's execution. Not sure if Crocodile would have been fourth coming with Iva and Dragon right off the bat, but with Dragon's position as an opposition to the world government, I'm sure he felt somewhat protected by the Freedom Fighters.

Crocodile then becomes a warlord, proud of himself, ready to fight for his dreams, and to finally prove his worth by killing WB. Picks a fight he can't win, loses his crew and his arm, is in a very weak position, and reaches out to the one person he thinks can help...Dragon.

If Crocodile really did get his ass kicked at 24, that gives him 3 years of bonding time with the freedom fighters and or just Dragon. They get close, buddy up, and Crocodile winds up pregnant. Has Luffy, hands him off to Dragon, leaves to go find Iva, and to finally move away from his past transitions.

When Iva talks about knowing Crocodile as a rookie, that doesn't mean that he transitioned when he was a rookie. Iva was just aware of this scrappy up coming pirate they talked to at Roger's execution. Then later Crocodile confides in Iva about his past, Iva being at God's Valley and knowing how much the goverment would want to kill the child of Rocks, Iva knows the true weight of the black mail. Iva may not be aware of Luffy's existance, as Dragon definatly kept that a close secret. But would have seen how close Dragon and Crocodile were and then put the pieces together at impel down, adding another layer to the black mail.

+LAST THOUGHTS (angst)+

Crocodile doesn't wear a ring on his ring finger.

Other pirates that wear rings I have only seen wear a full set. So Crocodile missing his ring finger is very significant. If you're gonna wear all these rings why leave one finger? Especially the ring finger? Unless it holds a personal importance to you.

I personally think Luffy was an unplanned pregnancy, that led to a rift in Dragon's and Crocodile's relationship. I could see Crocodile thinking Dragon betrayed him by putting him in such a vulnarable position. Then all the emotions crop up with his gender, his past, and he is stuck for nine months of just sitting in this, thinking about his life, who he is and who he wants to be.

I could see Crocodile running away from Dragon when he finds out, then comes back to hand off Luffy, as a child isn't good to have as a pirtate, especially a child with his bloodline. Never connects with it, just leaves it in Dragon's hands, and off he goes to start Baroque works.

Or he stays by Dragon side during this time, but isn't taken care of like he needs. Dragon is a cold busy man, their relationship was could have been casual, Crocodile gets pregnant, and it puts a hinder in Dragon's plans. Maybe Crocodile is seen as a burden? Maybe Crocodile has to iniciate any of the support he needs? Maybe during his pregancy Dragon is barely around. Crocodile feels used, scared and out of control.

OR Dragon does stay and cares for Croc as best he can, but with all the hard emotions Crocodile would be dealing with, their positions in the world, and with Luffy being born premature (with the limited pirate health care). Maybe Dragon makes a hard decisition. Maybe Dragon tells Crocodile Luffy passed way after birth. GIving Crocodile an out to cleanly break away, even with all the pain.

Whatever it was, Crocodile recovers, finds Iva, fully transitions, and leaves. Not wanting to knowing or care about this kid, and stuck with his pain. As a reminder to keep his heart closed and of his foolishness, on the only hand hes got. He will never put a ring on a finger that could be a promise of trust, of care,and of a happier life. A reminder of what he's lost, and of the pain that comes with getting too comfortable or being opitmisic.

Crocodad analysis~

I've finished my reread of Impel Down and Marineford and spent most of today typing up this Crocodile analysis applying Crocodad theory ;3

Under the cut I went through Iva's threats, what info we have on when they met and what Iva might have done for him, then I go on to track Crocodile across the battlefield of Marineford. It's just text, no images, but it does have the chapters mentioned so you can go check it out.

I tried to structure these 3000 words a bit but don’t expect a clean essay.

Also, there is nothing new under the sun, I'm sure all of his has been said before by Crocodad scholars, I'm just sorting through it for myself.

(Disclaimer: I read an English scanlation so there’s a chance that there is a mistranslation or missing nuance.)

Iva’s powers

I'm generally someone who likes to work within the parameters provided by canon. But in terms of Iva's power I have been letting fandom (which displays an interest in a more real world depiction of transitioning) guide me more than canon. But Iva’s powers are not a reflection of the real world (other than maybe wishes that it could be so easy), neither do they even try to be.

Iva says that they can rework a person from the "inside out" (chapter 538) and there doesn't seem to be much of a limit to what they can do to someone’s body, apart from the cost of the healing powers.

If we go with the idea that Iva used their powers on Crocodile, it's likely that it would have been an instant effect. Therefore, the potential switch from female to male would have been complete and it would have been a one time application of Iva’s powers. Since we know what Crocodile looked like as a child, we know that they did not completely change his appearance.

The blackmail

When Luffy protests the suggestion that they free Crocodile, Iva says that they knew Crocodile “a little (…) back when you could still call him a rookie” (chapter 540) and that they are aware of one of Crocodile’s weaknesses which they will use against him/ reveal if he betrays them. Let’s first look at this secret weakness.

Since I have seen it mentioned before, I checked out the vivre card information that has been provided by thelibraryofohara (https://thelibraryofohara.com/2019/01/12/vivre-card-databook-vol-5-all-the-new-information/) in the January 2019 card releases. I quote:

“[Crocodile]’s got a “weakness” when it comes to his past that he can’t oppose. He definitely owes something that Ivankov gave him.”

I don’t know if the word choice is a matter of translation but it is rather ambiguous. That weakness is in quotation implies that it is most likely not an actual physical weakness like his weakness to water. Instead, it might be comparable to how Dragon calls Luffy his weakness. Additionally, what does “oppose” mean in the context of a weakness? Does it mean that if Iva revealed it, he would have no chance to refute it. Does it mean that the weakness is of such a nature that Crocodile would do what he can to avoid Iva from saying it? Maybe both? Considering the context the threat was uttered in, this would mean that he will not betray Iva and Luffy’s interests. (Which he doesn’t. When he goes off to attack WB and Luffy stops him, he calmly states that they had an arrangement (chapter 557). While Luffy forbids him from touching WB, Iva doesn’t threaten him into obedience, so Crocodile does pursue his attack on WB once Luffy is gone.)

Continuing with the vivre card quote, there’s also the fact that Crocodile owes something that Iva gave him – which can either mean that Iva gave him something that he’ll have to give back or that Crocodile has something that he only has thanks to Iva. I assume it’s the latter. What could Iva possibly have to give to Crocodile more than 20 years ago that Crocodile doesn’t want to be known (and can expect not to be known unless Iva shares it)? And, maybe more importantly, is it something that Iva can take back?

I am going to say yes, a reveal of the secret might as well come with Iva taking back what he has given Crocodile. Considering that Crocodile in prison has pretty much nothing but his hook, we can assume that what Iva gave this young pirate just starting out, was something to do with their powers. A change to his body in one way or another which of course means that Iva can undo it, revealing things about Crocodile that he doesn’t want to be known.

Considering what we’ve seen Iva’s power do, it does not take a big stretch of the imagination to wonder if he might have been a girl in the past. There’s of course the option that Crocodile has always been a boy, aware of his transness from the beginning. But even if that wasn’t the case, there are other reasons to want to change. The seas of One Piece are tricky to navigate and while there are successful female pirates, we have also been shown certain limitations and prejudices. How was it nearly 30 years ago, when Crocodile was just starting out? When there were pirates such as WB who would not have women on his crew? What did other men’s limited faith in a girl’s capabilities do to a teenager who wanted to chase her dreams? But that’s another layer of speculation. Let’s just assume that Iva gave Crocodile the body he now has.

Timeline

The complete female to male switch makes sense with Iva’s skills as I’ve mentioned above, but the timing is arguably tricky for Crocodad purposes. To repeat: Iva knew Crocodile “a little (…) back when you could still call him a rookie” (chapter 540). It’s unclear to me whether Iva’s comment that they know Crocodile “a little” is meant to be taken as an understatement and they do know each other well or if we should take it at face value. But even the offered time “when you could still call him a rookie” is very vague.

If they only knew each other when Crocodile was a rookie, then Iva would most likely have used their powers on Crocodile back then, turning him before he had properly ended up on the marine’s radar and before he could have had Luffy. What exactly counts as Crocodile’s rookie years isn’t particularly clear. At this point in the manga we do not know anything about Crocodile – his age, how long he’s been a Warlord, when he used to be a rookie, etc. However, we do know now that he became a Warlord in his 20s and challenged Whitebeard and lost to him shortly after (SBS, Volume 78). So his rookie years must refer to the time before that where “similar to Luffy (…) Crocodile's name spread across the seas with incredible momentum.” (SBS, Volume 78) It’s possible that at that time, due to the vastness of the ocean and the slower spread of news, people in general did not know what he looked like (even 30 years on it took a while for all the Strawhat crewmembers to get recognizable bounty posters). Due to that it’s possible that the meeting with Iva could have taken place during the time that he was gaining fame, but before he really got on he marine’s radar enough to make him a Warlord in his early 20s.

Interestingly (for me), around the same time as Crocodile’s was starting out, Iva and Dragon gained notoriety with their Freedom Fighter group (according to the Wiki’s timeline, it became the Revolutionary Army after the Ohara Incident, when Crocodile was 24), so it is likely that when Iva and Crocodile knew each other, Crocodile also met Dragon. (He might even have been part of the Freedom Fighters, but I think if his name was spread across the sea in connection to the Freedom Fighters, a link between Crocodile, Iva and Dragon would have been mentioned or taken into consideration by Sengoku. Sengoku did know of the history between Crocodile and WB and thought it would work in their favor. If he knew about a potential connection between Crocodile and Luffy – via Iva and Dragon – he would have been more wary I assume.)

As an aside, how did they even meet? Did Crocodile hear about Iva’s powers and seek them out? Was their meeting purely by chance and Crocodile seized the moment?

Long story short, if Iva only knew Crocodile while he was still a rookie and used their powers on him then, it would have been years before Luffy was conceived.

However! One could argue that Iva did not have the same control over their powers 20 years ago as they do now, so that the change was mostly external, affecting how Crocodile presented without changing him “inside out.” Which would still have meant that he could get pregnant if Dragon and Crocodile continued seeing each other (or at least saw each other one more time, 19 years ago.)

Now, since Crocodile at Marineford is somewhat of a part 2 of the Crocodile theories, I kept my Crocodad goggles on.

A look of Crocodile’s movement across the battlefield

One of the main arguments for Crocodad are his actions on the battlefield. Judged by the reactions of the other characters, all of Crocodile’s actions on the battle field of Marineford apart from his attack on WB are surprising.

The reason we are given by Crocodile for joining the prison break is that he wants to take Whitebeard’s head. (Crocodile could have escaped from the holding prison, but chose to go to Impel Down instead. However, Iva claims in chapter 538 that Crocodile isn’t too happy about ending up in level six.)

We know from the above mentioned SBS that Crocodile challenged WB shortly after he received his Warlord title. During this battle Crocodile was “completely and utterly crushed by him.” Whether that defeat is the main motivation to challenge him is unclear.

Just like he announced, the first thing that Crocodile does after posing for a group shot, is to go straight for Whitebeard’s head.

So far so predictable.

What are often seen as hints for Crocodad is a series of events that go like this: Dragon is revealed to be Luffy’s father (chapter 558). Everybody and their pet clown gets to have a reaction shot to that, but Crocodile does not. Crocodile is one of the first after Luffy to charge into the plaza after they’ve got the siege walls up and stops Ace’s execution (chapter 566.) He orders Daz to protect Luffy and one Daz is down he himself stops Mihawk from attacking Luffy (chapter 570). After Ace’s death he steps in between Akainu and Jinbei, making Luffy’s escape possible (chapter 578). He eventually joins a line of Whitebeard pirates to protect Luffy.

Now, Crocodile’s change of plans doesn’t present as an instant switch the moment Sengoku announces who Luffy’s father is. While he might have had an off-screen “oh shit, that’s my baby” reaction, it didn’t immediately make him drop everything to protect him.

I do of course believe that Luffy IS his baby because I find joy in that, but I generally see Crocodile as a pragmatic character. On one hand there is Luffy, a reckless but resilient kid that shares his blood (that he spilled and Luffy used against him) that is charging across a battlefield with a group of people protecting him. On the other hand here is Whitebeard right in front of him and other than the baby that has slipped out of his fingers, he held on to that grudge for 20 years.

Tracking Crocodile across the battlefield leaves plenty of gaps, but it still offers insights into why he changes direction. I’m presenting it here and then we can think if this hurts or helps the Crocodad agenda.

Tracking Crocodile

As mentioned the first thing we see him do on the battle field is to go for Whitebeard who is on the ship next to them. Luffy stops him and then he is approached by Whitebeard pirates, their weapons drawn. Luffy then leaves and takes the point of view away with him. When we see Crocodile again, two chapters after the reveal that Luffy is Dragon’s son, he is on the ice in front of Whitebeard’s ship. He must have been pushed back or retreated to join up with Daz, as they are fighting off masses of WB pirates, trying to get closer to the man himself. After he sends a lot of them flying with a sandstorm he is stopped by Yozu. The force of the attack makes him fly back (he is injured and loses his cigar) where he lands right next to Doflamingo. The man is of course not passing up the opportunity to be chaotic – he stops Yozu and asks Crocodile to join up with him which Crocodile rejects (chapter 560 – 561). When we next see him he is fighting off some invisible force (most likely more WB pirates) but at least he has a new cigar.

When WB is stabbed in chapter 563 he is still on the ice in front of WB’s ship. He has an agitated reaction, revealing that he has lost to Whitebeard in the past (“I didn’t lose to such a weak man!!!”)

Even though Sengoku tries to get the other fleets under WB’s command to turn against him, WB proves his integrity and power. And he also gives a speech about how even if he is attacked by his son, he still loves him and he also explains that the son does not bear the sins of the father. It is either this absolute display of love and appreciation of his sons no matter whose blood they have and what they do OR it is his display of power and integrity that Crocodile reacts to, visibly distressed, but no longer showing the explosive shock and anger of his previous outburst (I’m not horrible at reading facial expressions but I’m not great at describing them. Look for yourselves in chapter 563). Also, following right after the panel showing Crocodile’s face we get Whitebeard thinking to himself: “A “weak man,” am I…? What an insolent man… I’m only one man, with one heart… And you’re the same… They call me a demon and a monster… But I won’t always be the “strongest” out there…!!! If I can bring one young life into the future, isn’t that enough…!?” And then he joins the battle.

He now focuses on bringing that young life into the future (saving Ace) and this is the point where Crocodile’s unusual actions start. After a talk about unconditional love for his sons and the statement that protecting a son is worth much more than being the strongest. Could Crocodile too have decided that protecting Luffy (his son?) and Luffy’s interests is more important than his grudge against Whitebeard?

The answer seems to be yes, because in chapter 566 he is the first one to follow Luffy across the siege wall and into the plaza where Ace’s execution was supposed to happen. And he stops it after Luffy is pushed back by the Admirals. The reason he gives to Sengoku for his unexpected action is that he “wants to wipe the smile from your faces.” After Doflamingo chops off Crocodile’s head they engage in a fight.

It is after Luffy uses conqueror’s Haki, which again seems to confirm his relation to Dragon, WB gives the order for everyone to support Luffy in chapter 570. Whether Crocodile has chosen to follow Whitebeard’s lead or if he is acting for himself, he gave Daz the order to protect Luffy. Daz stops Mihawk’s attack and once Mihawk cuts him down and goes for Luffy again, Crocodile is there to stop him and allow Luffy to continue one. He must have shaken off Doflamingo in the meantime.

And then Ace and Whitebeard die (chapters 574 and 576 respectively).

And while the battlefield descends into further chaos and Luffy is unable to protect himself, we get a panel of Crocodile (chapter 577), apparently standing still in the chaos that is around him. He does not seem to face the same way as the retreating WB forces or the Warlords and Pacifista in pursuit of the retreating pirates. Maybe he is looking at Whitebeard one last time.

And then he’s off, apparently crossing the entire battlefield in an instant to stop Akainu from dealing Luffy the killing blow. And after that he gets physically between Akainu and Jinbei and Luffy before he sends them flying out of reach with his sands (chapter 578.) He yells the order for someone to grab them and get them to a ship, followed by one of my favourite lines directed at Jinbei who has tasked himself with protecting Luffy: “If you want to protect something, do it right!!!” Since we generally speculate that Luffy’s parents (or Dragon at least) chose to sacrifice their chance of raising Luffy in order to protect him from exactly what is happening on this battlefield, that line suits the Crocodad theory well. Whether Crocodile left behind his child to protect it from being punished for the sins of his fathers or if he left him behind because a child would get in the way of his ambitions, right in this moment protecting Luffy is all that matters.

He then joins a group of Whitebeard pirates, forming a protective barrier against Akainu. Akainu taunts them that all of them are willing to give their lives for Luffy. Marco repeats what Whitebeard thought earlier: they will see this boy off into the new age.

All of these actions could also simply point towards Crocodile maybe having been part of Whitebeards crew at one time, but the timeline has some difficulties. It does not seem like anyone who is on the crew now treats him like they knew him or at one point cared about him like a brother. We have also not seen Crocodile or someone who looked like him in the Wano flashbacks. Teach, who joined when he was 12 (and Crocodile would have been 18) doesn’t seem to know him as a crewmate either. If he ever was on WB’s crew, he would have left as a young teenager. (And as a sidenote, WB was an old-fashioned guy, he did not want any women on his crew apart from medical staff. This would not have been a good environment for Crocodile if he had been a girl before meeting Iva. And he clearly was making a name for himself as a rookie without being attached to WB’s crew.)

It could also symbolize how great of a pirate Whitebeard was that even Crocodile, bearing a grudge against him, shows him respect by following his orders. But that seems a little bit boring to me.

That said, I do think a Crocodad reading of his actions is rewarding.

After this battle we also get to see Crocodile read about Luffy’s actions so he clearly is interested in him now. And there’s this great exchange between Daz and Crocodile in chapter 593 where Daz comments that Luffy’s scars take a while to fade which Crocodile takes as a comment on his own (old) wounds. Crocodile insists that his scars are “fully healed” and that he’s ready to return to the New World now. He has put the old wounds of his youth to rest, he is ready to return to tackle the New World once again.

And maybe any wounds and scars left on him regarding Luffy’s birth have started to heal too. The kid will be fine.

If you read through all of this you have my respect X’D

And if you have comments, additions and objections let me know~

[dark-fics-4-you]

In crocodile tears, would coryo pretend to be some hero or something when he gets reader some medical help or like calls for help for her because I know reader would have to go get some medical help for her injuries, like would he say he found her like that and just stays by her side and quietly whisper to her that he can and will get away with his crime and will do much worse to keep his goodboy™️ image up

Or would he just leave her there to let her think about what he said and what he's done and like kinda talks to someone else about his victory and then they walk back towards reader and find her all fucked out and traumatized and coryo just acts all surprised and asks the other person to go get help while he 'takes care' of her before like the authorities or like the ambulance and tells her to stay silent and to just play along so that he could find some way to fix his mess

And if he does find some way to frame someone else for what he did to reader, would reader's parents thank him over and over again and like pressure reader to invite him over or something (y'know just so that coryo can see how similarly they grew up or something, also how furious would he be if he found out that maybe reader is actually just 'better' than him)

Sorry this was kinda long and scrambled up but I've been thinking about crocodile tears all day and I'm geeking out over your fics omg 😭

Please don’t apologize for how long it is, I loooove detailed asks <333

Crocodile Tears drabble

cw: noncon oral m!recieving, noncon kissing, gaslighting, manipulation, physical abuse

I think Coriolanus would 100% try to play himself off as the hero. This is the same night that his mentee won the Hunger Games. Everyone is already celebrating him, and then he reports that he not only found Reader, but that he helped ward off her attacker??? He would eat that attention right the fuck up.

Of course before this happened he would set the record straight with you, maybe he’d do it while he was pushing his cock deep into the back of your throat. “You’re not going to- fuck- you’re not going to tell anyone that this happened, do you understand?”

You looked up at him through teary eyes as his hand wrapped around your throat, urging you to slide your lips up and down his length faster. He couldn’t contain his groans as he watched the saliva drip down the corners of your mouth as you sloppily took all of his cock.

His voice was breathy, and his eyes were fixed on watching you. A far cry from the classmate he had admired many times before tonight, now you looked a mess, lips puffy and eyes red and tear filled. Coriolanus loved how pathetic you looked now. He wondered if you would ever dare to talk back to him again.

“If you ever tell anyone about tonight or about what happened during the Games, I swear to god Y/N, I will fuck you so hard that you’ll be begging me to treat you as nice as I did tonight,” he sneered at you and your stomach turned at his threat.

For a moment, Coriolanus really wanted to cum all over your face. He imagined forcing you to leave the building with his sticky seed dripping down your face and tits, he wanted you to feel humiliated as you walked past all of your classmates.

He knew that the rumors would spread like wildfire, your reputation would be ruined. On top of your friends either witnessing it firsthand, all of your professors would find out no doubt.

However, much more appealing was the idea of Coriolanus coming to your aid, of him saving you from an unknown attacker. If the entire Academy already thought he was a victor, why stop now?

After he came down your throat and forced you to swallow it all, you were surprised when he hurriedly pulled your clothes back on to your limp body, before dressing himself as well.

You were still too dazed to protest when he pulled you up, wrapping an arm around your waist and walking towards the party.

You felt so out of it, and your memory after leaving the control room was spotty, but you remembered seeing concerned classmates and hearing Coriolanus explain that he had rescued you from an attacker and that you needed medical attention.

You also didn’t miss all of your classmates thank Coryo for saving you.

Don’t think for a second that he would leave your side, opting to ride in the ambulance with you, identifying himself as “Y/N’s boyfriend,” and holding your hand the entire way. The EMT’s thought he was whispering words of encouragement and that your panicked look was only due to your injuries and the trauma from the night, but it was actually because of the threats he was calmly hissing into your ear.

“Remember, you didn’t recognize the guy and you didn’t get a good look at him,” he raised an eyebrow and leered over you, “right?”

You nodded, trying not to attract any attention.

“And you don’t even want to press charges, right?” He purred in your ear, hand snaking to the back of your neck and clamping down. You tensed when you felt him grip the back of you neck harder, trying to get a small reaction from you that only he would notice. “Better to just try to move past all of this.”

When you finally arrived at the hospital and got wheeled to a room, you were greeted by your parents immediately, who tearfully attempted to talk with you.

You had only just opened your mouth to speak when Coriolanus interrupted you, “I’m sorry Mr. and Mrs. Y/L/N, she’s not in any condition to be talking right now.”

“And just who the hell are you?” Your father demanded of the unfamiliar blond.

“I’m Coriolanus Snow, I saved your daughter tonight,” his head was held high and when he started recounting his twisted version of the events that had occurred tonight, only you could have spotted the devilish gleam in his eyes. “She’s lucky I got there when I did,” he concluded, “I just can’t imagine what might have happened to my Y/N…”

“Wait, what do you mean by ‘my Y/N?’” Your mother asked, looking up at Coriolanus incredulously.

“Well, I wish I was telling you under better circumstances, but,” he cleared his throat, pretending to be embarrassed, “Y/N and I have been dating since the day of our tribute assignments.”

When your parents immediately changed their tone and began heaping thanks and praises onto ‘your boyfriend,’ the man who had just raped you so brutally, he had sent you to the hospital, you felt like you could be sick, and the nausea swirling in your stomach had you reaching for the trash can by your bed and hurling the remains of what was left in your stomach into the bucket.

Coriolanus dotted on you, rubbing your back and whispering words of encouragement loud enough that your family could hear. His faux concern for you was so sickening, you would have thrown up again if you had anything left in your system.

You were in the hospital for 2 excruciating days, and several of your classmates came to visit, all of them bringing flowers or candy or other gifts, but you never got a moment alone with them because Coriolanus stayed by your side the entire time.

When your nosey peers asked you or Coriolanus to recount what had happened, Coriolanus would shut them down, insisting that neither of you wanted to talk about it for your sake.

And while it was true that you weren’t anywhere near being able to talk about what happened that night, that didn’t mean that you wanted him literally at your bedside and never leaving you alone with anyone, not even your family.

If they asked for time alone with you, his grip on your hand would tighten and you knew you had no choice but to tell them that you wanted him to stay in your room, “Mother, I- I just want him here right now, I would feel too anxious if he left.”

They always obliged, never forgetting to thank Coriolanus any chance they got, and by the time you were discharged and you thought you were finally going to have a moment alone to breathe, you were feeling more than ready for some space away from the horrible man.

However, to your horror, you realized that your family had taken what you had said in the hospital after being coerced by Coriolanus too literally.

When he followed you to the car, you thought he was just saying goodbye until he climbed into the backseat with you and you gawked at him before looking over at your parents.

“Oh yeah, we forgot to mention,” your mother warmly replied, “Coriolanus offered to come to our apartment for a few days to help take care of you. We figured it would be good, considering how much he helps your anxiety.”

You felt your stomach drop, a pit of anger and disappointment blossomed in your gut and it took everything in you to force yourself to smile and thank your parents.

Coriolanus’ hand squeezed yours and you tried your best not to cry.

After you arrived at the apartment, Coriolanus helped you out of the car, making you lean on him for support as he helped you to the entrance to the building.

The blond was taken aback by the street you lived on. It was just a couple blocks away from his, and he had walked past these apartments many times, completely unaware that you lived here. It was a modest apartment building, honestly not much better than the one Coriolanus lived in.

But how could this be? Wasn’t your family wealthy at least? As he made his way up the stairs, supporting your weight as you leaned against him with his arm firm around your waist, he couldn’t help but compare all of the similarities to his own apartment.

Hell, if anything your apartment may have been a tad smaller than the Snow’s, although yours was much tidier.

It was around dinnertime when you had arrived and you had just wanted to take a nap before eating, but instead you were treated to some excruciating alone time with Coriolanus, during which he lay in your bed next to you, holding your stiff, nervous body close to him and running his hands over the goosebumps that decorated your skin. Your breath caught every time he paused over one of the bruises that he had left on you, and you winced when he would press the pads of his fingers onto them, silently threatening you.

It felt surreal laying in your bedroom, the place that was supposed to be your safe space, with Coriolanus, knowing that he could overpower you and fuck you at any moment if he wanted. And that fear was exactly why you didn’t try to get away.

You winced when his soft lips came to your bruised neck and he kissed and sucked at the tender skin. The way he had one of your hands pinned, fingers digging in to your sore wrist, reminded you of the first night he assaulted you and you tried to blink away the tears forming in your eyes as panic rose in your chest.

“Relax, Y/N,” Coriolanus whispered against your throat between sloppily nipping at your skin. “I’m not going to do anything to you tonight, baby. Gonna wait till you’re all healed up so you can feel every fucking inch of my cock dragging along your walls.”

You let out a quiet sound at his words, but it was hard to tell if it was a sob or a moan and Coriolanus felt his cock throbbing against the material of his pants.

“Although,” he thought aloud, looking down on you and admiring your pretty, plump lips, which were glistening, wet with a mix of saliva and your tears, “maybe I should give you a reminder of what I could do to you if you decided to feel brave and blab about that night, hm?”

You fearfully shook your head and you were about to protest when your mother knocked on your door, letting you know that dinner was ready.

You looked to Coriolanus and he nodded with annoyance after a few moments of hesitation, allowing you to respond, “Okay! Thank you, we’ll be there in a minute.”

He sighed in frustration but got up and began pulling his shirt back on before he glanced over at your teary eyes and messy hair.

“Clean yourself up in the bathroom, you look pathetic,” he ordered and you ran some cold water on your face to try to make the puffiness go down.

When he was satisfied with your appearance, you dressed, trying to swallow your discomfort before you left the room, but when you sat down at the table with your parents for dinner, you still couldn’t believe how it felt to be eating family dinner with that man.

As Coriolanus regaled your parents with stories from the Academy and lies about how you had started dating, you realized that tears had begun falling past your waterline again.

And no one at the table noticed or said anything about it.

IWTV S2 Ep7 Musings - Loustat: The Trial (Spoilers)

Imma split my Loustat musings into 3 parts, cuz there's A LOT to unpack. So I'll do the Ep3/4 & Ep5 revisits in the next posts; this is just general/initial Louis & Lestat stuff I wanted to respond to.

They beat the dog snot outta Louis, omg. They nearly snapped his neck! Louis was barely conscious, ofc his memory's spotty.

I LOVE how they're emphasizing the physicality of the Maker-Fledgling bond, first w/ Lou & Madz, now w/ Les. It's ofc all wrapped up in how much Loustat loves e/o, but its also their blood connection thru Amel. (I wonder how Louis Merrick'ing himself in Ep5 affects his connection to Amel if his heart didn't stop, cuz Armand stopped him from burning too much?)

And I love what Jacob said in the Insider, afterwards.

Fear that Lestat's come to exact revenge; excitement (a frisson of both negative & positive emotions, excited to see Les just cuz of the tension of having not seen him in so long, but also having all his nerves & senses tingling cuz of the tense anticipation & not knowing what to expect--hence: fear); fury cuz this whole mess could've been avoided if Les had told them WHY European vampires should be avoided at all costs; and relief cuz Les's' alive, his husband's ok.

But this time Lou KNOWS he's the real deal, cuz he can FEEL it--"it wasn't NOT his hand." And Dream!Stat jumpscare in Dubai, well well well; I thought Lou'd stopped seeing him on that Parisian bench? 👀

Here we effing go, whatever this French bish has to say better be good 🍿🍿🍿

I HATE HIM YOUR HONOR 🤣 Omfg take ONE thing seriously! Not the Roland-Garros, STFU! XD Lestat going off script got the coven like WTF?!

OML 🍿🍿🍿

Well that's not helpful at all--WHICH ONE!?

Les was asleep for the whole 100 years b4 he went to NOLA--but we KNOW this can't be true, cuz Les met Marius after he left Paris❗ SAM (the vamp) has been mouthing the words to this whole script, so I wonder if that's just what Les was TOLD to say, OR! It's what HE told THE COVEN, so they wouldn't know about TWMBK❗❗

NOT LES DOING A PIROUETTE INTO THE EARTH STAHP OMG 😭

THIS GAY QUEEN CAN'T HELP HIMSELF, I CANNOT

Awoke in 1908 & disembarked in humidified daughter of Paris, NOLA--but Les told Lou he was headed for Saint Louis, Missouri. 👀

"And who did you meet there?" DANG this is TENSE--Loustat finally making eye contact for the first time, Les having to see his husband all beat up & sad; as Claudia languishes in the background, as usual.

Not Louis with the cigar 😭

"The ACCUSED," LOL, Santiago had to catch himself--stay dehumanizing the violent evil Black man whydontcha; we see you. And Lestat had to feed him his own lines after derailing everyone with that homophobic soldier's evisceration.

Omg this sounds like every court case b4 they throw the book at a Black man. And the bored unaffected way the white audience just rolls their eyes & shakes their heads & smokes--they DGAF about Lou; they've already decided he ain't ish--A STONING.

LOUIS FACE. This is EXACTLY how folk in the fandom talk about Lou--and it came back with a vengeance during all that Loumand Maitre/Arun crap, as y'all were QUICK to jump on Lou being an evil pimp, even though your fave Daniel literally said that was just kinky roleplay Armand didn't take seriously when ish got REAL.

I thought y'all were just bartering for the "last bouquet of lilies"!?

Oh great, the coven's making Louis look like a perv predator. 🤦‍♀️ And the visual centering of Lou's dastardly mind-control waves like a halo over sweet innocent victim Lestat's blonde head, I CANNOT.

Omfg Louis face, SAME! If this crocodile-crying liar don't take his To Kill A Mockingbird, Central Park Five lookin arse off that stage! 🤬

Omfg Lestat I'm finna kill you myself. Omg this nonsense is too much; I know Lou, speak up, YES! But also, STFU, Les is actually tryna save your life by tearing your reputation to shreds. 😬🤦‍♀️

I loooove this effect when the coven uses the Mind Gift on them. They effed him up so bad his left eye started hemorrhaging. 😭

Armand don't you look away for an INSTANT, don't you even BLINK! You could've prevented this, EFF ALL Y'ALL in this nasty AF Theatre!

This gaslighting is hitting way too close to the way IRL court cases go when the innocent get the book thrown at them for crimes they didn't commit.

This is so painful to watch, but Sam Reid you better werk; the way he was yelling those lines had me shook, oml.

Les knows he's effed up, but what can he do? His eyes are going red; he's gonna cry. (His contacts look different, I thought they said they were gonna stick with purple eyed Les?) "I offered it to him in the church on the altar: My companionship." And Lou nodding along, cuz that was their wedding! 😭💔

I was wondering how these frames would be used. It's about the Ep3 race riots and vampire loneliness, the night Louis left & Claudia was made. But I love the implications, cuz how could humans know ANYTHING about hows vampires feel--which is SO important when they start lying about everything else that went down with how Claudia was made and how it would affect her as a "defective" vamp.

Even the VAMPIRES don't know how other vampires feel, and the capacity they have for enduring--Armand said it over & over to Louis in Ep3 and Madeleine in Ep6. Lestat came closest in S1 when he commented on Claudia's eternally 14-yr old metabolism & needing to eat more than an normal vamp, but beyond that none of them had a effing clue what Claudia was going through. They don't know REAL loneliness, even with her diaries telling them what she thought, not HOW SHE FELT.

(And I'm reminded of what I said here about Gabrielle telling Lestat what her loneliness felt like. I think "vampire loneliness" is different for every vampire; which is precisely why Gab (and Claudia) was able to walk away from her Maker/son & live alone; while Nicky & Louis went crazy.)

Lestat crying blood tears, daaaaang 😥

Kill this dude (but I stan a Loustat ally, LOLOL).

Imma stop here, cuz I've run out of Tumblr's stupid 30-pics per post, and the Ep3/4 revisit that "took all the pieces of Louis life, defiled them, bent them into a Lestat-shaped effigy" is IMO the JUICIEST part, with the most new meat to chew on.

MUDWING HC !!!!

ok so these prob aint v good but uh. yeah.

-Richer/royal mudwings wear lots of bronze/copper jewelry usually studs or triangles. They also wear vibrant green/brown gold fabric if any at all

-Poorer mudwings wear lots of Crocodile/Alligator scales as jewelry, also bugs, plants, and bones.

-Very common for mudwing (bigwings esp) to wear their sibs old scales as jewelry. to honor /remember deceased sibs sometimes mudwings will have some of their sibs scales dipped in silver/gold and worn as jewelry

-Bigwings often have necklaces made of their younger sibs teeth

-Rainwings got the idea/inspired by for dumping their eggs in a communal nest from the mudwings.

-High rate of dragonette/hatchling death from mudwings

-mudwings have larger clutches of eggs than other tribes, and always lay at least 2 eggs, but can lay up to 7

-twins are much more common in mudwings

-adult mudwings will check in on eggs and young dragonettes for a few months to make sure newborns dont like, starve or get killed.

-Mudwings don't have a big currency like coins and instead mainly use a trading/bartering system

-main place money is used in mudwing society is the capital/palace w/ nobles and the royal family.

-they wear war paint made from mud, berries & bugs.

-Mudwings always being hungry is a stereotype from other tribes, in reality they just require more food than most dragons.

-Royal mudwings are actually 'raised' by their mother, but like, not v attentively? Like a bunch of servants raise the dragonettes but they know who their mother is and talk to her sometimes. Mudwing princes are treated w/ same respect as princesses.

-closest things to 'noble' mudwings tend to just be important mudwings (advisers, generals. ect), richer mudwings, or mudwings who live in the palace/capital who arnt like, servents/maids. not actually noble familys.

I LOOOOVE mudwing head canons you guys should read them these wines are really cool

what's your favorite one piece arc and why?

hiiii mimi ^_^ !! this question is so hard to answer PLS but thank you for asking, i realized i’ve never fully picked one and had to think about this for a bit !! . . i rambled i’m sorry 🫶

i love them all for different reasons but a big part of me wants to say alabasta! i think it’s because most of my favorites make an appearance in it and it’s the first big bad that luffy has to fight! i loooove the contrast between luffy and crocodile !! the way they are just complete polar opposites . they can both be very selfish but express it in completely different ways. crocodile is selfish for powers sake while luffy is selfish in the name of freedom. they both chase their dream but in very different ways. crocodile is willing to sacrifice and dispose those who surround him while luffy would do anything to keep his loved ones close. it’s really cool to see that all play out and teaches us a lot about who luffy is. as for the other characters, we see a lot of growth with them as well. i’ve yapped a lot so i won’t go on but you’ve recently finished alabasta so ik you get it LMFAO <3

i picked something pre timeskip bc tbh i couldn’t pick one in post — i love them all too much. i’m so excited for you to get there and read ur thoughts on it all ^_^ dressrosa, zou and wano are my favorites but tbh that has a lot to do with my self insert !! but the storyline in those arcs are just … so good :3

[ofallthingsnasty]

Ughhh one piece and red dead have ruined me😭 Before I was like "smoking is such an unattractive habit like bleh 🤮" But all of a sudden Arthur, Sanji and Crocodile exist and I think smoking is hot as af? 😭😭😭 Seriously I was playing red dead 2 yesterday and I needed to refill my dead eye, and I found myself wishing that Arthur's smoking animation lasted longer🤦‍♀️💀💀

Am I the only one going through this lol

Oh my god, I feel that so hard. I loooove Sanji and his not-so-little chain smoking habit, it adds so much to him 😭🫶 I also really enjoy the smell of fresh smoke too, that doesn't help at all... (And don't get me started on Crocodile, whoever keeps his supply up in Impel Down is a saint)

Also with Arthur?? His smoking animation is fucking slutty?? John's too? I mean hello that hip tilt? He can just blow smoke in my face all day long and put the buds out on my arm, I'd thank him for it. (He would never do that. But he could. To me.) Hello, Sir??

And omg please look at this gif set it has bewitched me... First that drag, then the spitting I-

top 5 movie genres!

heehee thank u!!

5. noir or neo-noir

i love noir film especially as it pertains to general film history!! so much of it is dependent upon place and i loooove stories where the setting is a character in itself.

4. experimental

this is, like, very broad and up to interpretation but it's a specific corner in my brain haha. it ends up applying a lot to animated film, in fact—phil tippett's mad god in 2021 or this WONDERFUL 1986 stop motion short film called street of crocodiles.

3. documentary

admittedly i trend more towards docuseries but a well produced documentary is like........ough. also the overall intersection with journalism makes it a bit multimedia which is sick.

2. thriller

i like a tense movie!!! i like a movie that doesn't answer questions immediately (or ever!!!) i like movies where i don't really know what's going on!!!!

1. horror

yeah this is probably. not surprising. i like scary movies!!! but also i love the craft and history and general psychology that exists behind a lot of horror, and how much passion for weird goopy grimy practical filmmaking still exists in the genre.

also a couple honorary mentions for silent film (metropolis, caligari, any movie with john gilbert) and german expressionism (fritz lang my beloved) as favorite historical stylistic touchpoints

[untilthcyrot]

things you said prompts | 11. things you said when you were drunk asked by @freakarus

It was just after midnight and they'd had the bright idea that they suddenly wanted to make pancakes. Because who didn't like pancakes after drinking just a liiiiittle too much?? All of the necessary ingredients were found and set on the counter but then a bag of chocolate chips tucked away in a shelf had been discovered, too - score! Music was quietly being played on the radio while they went about making the pancakes, talking and laughing amongst themselves, not a single care in the world as batter spilled into the pan and chocolate chips were rationed out.

That's when Winnie heard "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John come on the radio next and she did a gasp. ❝ I loooove this song, ❞ she grinned and quickly sucked some batter off of her finger. ❝ 'I remember when I was young' - wait, no. I can't sing out loud. Not because I'm not a good singer though, ❞ she assured her boyfriend matter-of-factly. ❝ I just have, like, reeeally horrible stage fright. ❞

Even if the current stage in question was just the kitchen and her audience was only Eddie. She was still really shy at heart and liquor apparently wasn't enough to give her the courage to sing out loud, no matter how much she wanted to. Who didn't like belting out 'Laaaa la-la-la-la-laaa' during the song's chorus??

As pancakes piled up on a plate, she took a minute to revel in this moment. It was probably closer to one a.m. by the time they had finished making their pancakes and Elton John was still playing on the radio. In her silly drunk head, she thought Eddie really knew how to handle a spatula. Her body was tingling from head to toe thanks to the drinks she'd consumed prior but it was a good tingling.

You know, it just felt good to let loose once in a while and forget the rest of the world and all of its problems, or all of her own problems at the very least. Come to think of it, the problems she'd always had seemed to be feeling duller the more time she spent with Eddie. Funny thing, huh? She wondered if it was because she met the one person in this crazy universe who had accepted her for everything that she was and had been through even if it had freaked him out at first and still wanted to be in her life regardless. Hazy blue eyes looked at him for a moment with a silly little smile, thinking herself the luckiest girl in the whole wide world.

❝ Eddie, ❞ she said his name lightheartedly. ❝ I feel so lucky that we're making pancakes right now. ❞ Immediately, her nose wrinkled and she laughed at her scrambled choice of words. ❝ I mean, wait . . . no . . . that's not what I meant. What I mean is . . . I get to wake up every day the luckiest girl in the world because you're my boyfriend. I just wanna take a snapshot of this moment in my head, you know? Making pancakes at one in the morning, drunk, with you, ❞ she laughed.

[yippieitsarvensart]

dont worry about the time of replies!!! we are in different timezones anyways

JDNNWBS THANK YOU ?!!?!! feel free to study me under a microscope im an interesting lil guy i think youll have a blast

oooooo yes yes i see ur vision.... the way i go with is that floyd isnt that fond of the contacts but his eyesight is so horrible that if he doesnt he bumps EVERYWHERE. jade had to put it in him the first time and hes slowwwlyyy getting used to it, but he immediately takes it off when hes in his room. floyd is very "when i put on my glasses and the walls have texture, ppl have faces & the plant have leaves" to me LOL. also side note i loooove caring azul that doesnt want to admit it so much <3

theyre girlie pops to me does this make sense. i have some hcs for their fashion too xhhshs these guys have RUINED me

would you believe me if i told you that i was already in lovw with riddle and then i did my hcs and boom. even more in love u

THIS REMINDS ME I DIDNT SAY THE RACE HCS I HAVE FOR THOSE THREE ?!?! ok so the tweels are black italians + vietnamese, while riddle is wasian (british + korean&chinese)!

OH AND I ALSO FORGOT TO SAY i hc that riddle needs glasses too :3c but she uses contacts! when hes overwhelmed he tends to isolate himself and he either tends to the hedgehos/flanmingos or tends to the garden/maze. and her meltdowns are much like her a anger fits, she just gets really really upset and wants to throw things around and behead people, hes very agressive! to calm him down you need to put him in a comfortable & familiar room, preferrably with tons of red (his favorite color), and talk to him normally about the things he likes + offer solutions to the problems until he calms down.

anyways silver > autism, narcolepsy. uses he/ him and is bissexual (no preference), but does Not get gender at all. i hc that fae's perception of gender is different than humans, and since he was raised by lilia he does not understand humans' genders. so he just goes w the flow haha. his hands are trembling slightly allll the time he cannot stop it. hes chinese + has albinism ! bc of that he gets burned pretty easily, has to eat a balanced diet and his eyesight sucks just a little, so he doesnt need any glasses or anything. yet. he has some small scars from his training, his hair is mullet-ish and very long, and he dyes it black + leaves some white strands to match w lilia. whenever he gets overwhelmed he lays flat on the grownd, belly down face on the ground, puts a blanket over himself and then just Stays There until it passes. his meltdowns are quiet he just stares off into the void and considers yanking off his ears lol. also he has some bite scars bc sebek used to bite him when he was changing his baby teeth, silver has a necklace w them!! he understands animals better than he understands ppl and he can recgonize every single species. thats his special interest btw, animals!! hes mostly a horse girlie tho <3

sebek > autism, ocd, auditory processing disorder. the reason he yells all the time is bc he cant listen very well + cant control his voice volume. he also uses he/him & is bissexual but, much like silver and bc he is a half fae, he does not get human gender. technically speaking he could be considered bigender too! i hc that in the future, he (and riddle + the tweels too) would take estrogen :3c and HE WEARS BRACES !!!! cmon crocodile teeth are kinda horrible and his dads a dentist. so. yeah. also he has some scales, but theyre so few and mostly on his arms + legs, so they are covered most of the time! hes very resistant to physical stuff, rarely feels pain and doesnt get tired easily. if he does use his magic, though, then he gets tired pretty easily, since his half human body cant keep up w the fae magic. his hair is a MESS he passes so much gel and it still sticks up a bit. hes so into the lighting motif hes COMMITED !!!! also horses just hate him for some reason. principally vorpal (riddles horse) lol. when hes overwhelmed he does push ups, runs, just trains in geneal. if its too loud he just yells SHUT THE FUCK UP and everyone is stunned so they do. he feel really bad after though djsbnds .... his special interest is malleus draconia (lol) and dragons :3c

OOOOO so cute and silly ...... ok ok i'll write something like tgat no worries :3c anything else youd like to see in the fic? i can shove smth more!!! im gonna cook. wait for me

all I could think about while readinf this was "estrogen could save them..." Like if I was bad at responding to asks that is ALL I would've said in response; but luckily I am autistic and could not bare to just leave it at that.

Jade having to help Floyd put in his contacts for the first time makes me also think that like, what if Jade has to do it every morning. Every single morning from the day they first came on land they've had to put them in for Floyd... Brotherly bonding time EHAHAHAHA But that's the only way F could get used to it, they can't do it on their own otherwise they'll mess it up or stab themself in the eye or whatever. "Having Jade do it is just easier" he says. Jade doesn't complain about it either because she'd rather have to do it for every day of their lives than have Floyd get seriously hurt because he can't see SHIT. Anyways...

Sil and Sebs having little to no connection with gender bc of being half fae/influenced by living with fae is so, so real. and true. If I'm correct, Silver is just human? And being raised by Lilia who is VERY gender in ALL sorts of ways, I think Sil may have had a few gender crisis' over the years because of it (I sure woulda), starting from a very young age. But like he's fine now he's chill with whatevevraarrrr (I LEAVE TO GO DO SOMETHING, COME BACK AND SUDDENLY NOTHING I JUST WROTE MAKES SENSE??? what is bro blabbering about. anyways.)

Overall I so so agree with all ur hcs they make so much SENSE !!!! I have nothing more to add to the rest of it you're just so correct that I can't think of anything more anything else to add to the fic errmm... uerhhmm... Well we could have maybe... *brain thinking sounds*

... I don't even remember what I said last time btu that's okay I think you should make them kiss 🔥🔥and also make up 🔥🔥 (I alr made that joke I think. I'm so unoriginal.) Uhmmm you could make riddle CRY 💧💧💧💧I don't kno w you could make them uhmm you coud uhhh *send post*

[eldritch-spouse]

the post with the masochistic( I CAN'T BELIEVE I WROTE THAT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME)s/o and the biting part made me wonder how the others feel about it. Do they like it or dislike it and since Vinnel's condition prevents him from staying consistent for too long will he just lack doing it and receiving?(I feel non-canon wise he'd be afraid to be slurped up)More specifically how would Morell and Grimbly react?Obviously taking a bite out of Morell is deadly but is it still impactful if it's like a small bite?Will my mosquito vampire find it odd?

Hope you a a good day!

Do they bite?

[Nah fam, I got 'em on a leash. Excluding Breg for this.]

Fasma's fangs might feel a little weird in your skin, since they usually mold a little, unless he's feeling hostile. He will bite if you ask him too, though not very hard, and he'll never extend his fangs either. Generally, he prefers doing it with his second form's blunt teeth. In his standard form, Fasma does not want to get bitten. At all. He's tiny, you're gonna take a chunk off him!

Vinnel could only ever bite you in a really good day in terms of physical consistency. These days are rare as snowflakes and he makes the most out of them. Besides, he's learning how to slowly expose very specific parts of himself without much danger. He has a myriad of broken sharp teeth and he will bite. Hard. Just to make you scream. You can bite back, but the taste will probably repell you at light speed.

Gallon prefers nipping rather than full on biting, and you'll have to nudge him a tad to make him use more teeth. He'll never use the sharper ones, those cut very easily. You can definitely bite him, though it doesn't have an erotic effect, and mostly just results in you coughing his slime back out- Which he finds hilarious.

Morell is like a crocodile. When that jaw clamps down on something, getting him to let go is near impossible. Those teeth may be blunt but they are not fucking around. Though Morel does like to bite, he's very gentle about it and never does it in places with low fat. Don't feed this urge, he might just take a real chomp out of you someday. I also don't advise you to bite a poisonous monster. Ever. Best case scenario you get a high, worst case you die.

Santi looooves to bite! He's all about teeth and tongue, and he's not shy about it. Though, he'll always be chaste about it unless given permission to draw blood. Pain can be very quickly transformed into pleasure, and he knows just the right balance to keep you on your toes. Most demons love the taste of blood anyway. You better bite him back, as hard as you can, make him howl. He'll almost be disappointed if you don't.

Grimbly is someone I recommend you don't let bite you much, if at all. Given the fact that's how he feeds, by biting others in zones where the skin is particularly thin, his brain might jumble and he'll fully extend his fangs, perforating your body a great deal. Grimbly is aware of this, but still risks nipping you from time to time. You can bite him, but not too hard, he'll feel threatened.

Ludwig is not a demon that bites a lot, and for good reason. When wrath demons get into it, they go hard, and if Lud were to accidentally draw blood, it would only drive him to bite harder, grind his teeth, stretch the skin. Listen, he doesn't want to maul you, so the most you'll get are brief, squeezing bites. He loves it when you bite back, it revs him up beyond measure, since wrathful couplings are especially wild and harsh, though you better lean out of the way when he snaps his teeth back at you.

Patches does not have a mouth normal enough to properly bite you. It'll just look sad and dumb. He doesn't even have lips. He uses magic to handle his food, chewing is not exactly necessary. Because, again, he can't really chew. That being said, you're more than welcome to bite him. Put him in his place, bite hard, wherever you want. Listen, if you really wanted to, I'm positive Patches would let you bite his dick. And that's that on that.

Sybastian... My gal/dude/person, have you seen those teeth? Please, never encourage this half-feral bozo to bite you. But you can bite all you want, even softly on his tongue, that gets him hard real fast...

Krulu will bite you only ever in very private settings and solely to mark. Never more than the very tip of his teeth is used, otherwise you'd get mauled. I advise you not to bite at all unless you want to get immediately put in your place.

Physically cannot bite

Nebul; Fank-e.

I wonder what the mass effect pet situation is like on other alien worlds and what they think about the animals humans have as pets, varren and pyjaks aside

I feel like, once they move past the weirdness of fur, Turians really like dogs, especially big dogs. If pets were allowed on the Citadel, c-sec would probably have a few gaurd dogs. Both very very well trained but very loved puppies.

Turians themselves aren't big on pets unless they can be utilized, so maybe they domesticated a native large lizard or avian species to gaurd the homes or crops of their planet. Imagine a hawk with metal laced skin swooping on you.

Asari loooove cats and tortoises. Cats because cats, duh, they're elegant, self cleaning, and loving. Tortoises because they live so long, they make wonderful companions and their shells look like the patterns of some Asari markings. They also love snakes.

Asari are fond of pets on Thessia, especially the colorful and elegant kind. Birds and fish are very popular pets, but smooth skinned mammal like creatures are common.

Salarians aren't big on pets, even on Sur'Kesh. They have short lives and so they're usually to busy for animals, but some young Salarians like to take care of domesticated insects usually meant for food.

Krogan think humans domesticated all the wrong animals. Why not the rhino? Or crocodile? Or even a bear, since they like hairy things so much? What a waste. Krogan very much like animals that double as weaponry. Before their world was bombed out, they had large bony creature companions, that were similar in use to horses but could also fight.

[solasmic]

skypiea arc is much better paced than alabasta, although i think enel is overpowered and also somehow a caricature of a villain, like all villains so far in OP.. it’s like they’re evil and wreak havoc just for the sake of it. there are indeed people like that, but it gets repetitive if all of them are such :( like give me a backstory please? or at least show me that they struggled a bit in life, idk. something to make them more human. (i like crocodile better i think.) i like the religious theme tho, religion relies heavily on shaming/shunning and also fear. that was portrayed nicely. and i like how useful pagaya and conis were. tho idk why theyd go such lengths for people they barely know (but i guess that’s a recurring theme in the show/manga)

i loooove the shandians and their fight for their ancestral land. very much real, and we’re given a good reason for them to want to defeat enel. also makes gan fall less of a “hero” a “good guy” a (former) “god”. bc let’s be real, god does indeed allow for bad things to happen lol. this aspect of the arc gives it more dimension imo.

update: finally finished it. all the arc’s memorable scenes were crammed into the last few eps lol. i appreciate montblanc noland and calgara’s backstory so much, and wyper’s efforts made me tear up, going so far as to use the reject dial a third time to help luffy get to the belfry. it was a very cathartic moment when the bell finally rang again. it was made better by the fact that it rang because enel was smashed into it. i was hoping for noland’s redemption to everyone in jaya but i guess having just(?) cricket and the saruyama alliance hear it was amazing nonetheless. also was so happy to see nola my beloved. all zoan types and animals in one piece have so far been likable characters/extras, and i would argue that oda writes animal extras better than some of his female characters lol..

anyway what in the world is enel thinking trying to set sail to the fairy vearth/moon. ??? how will he go to the moon

[myonepiece]

Maybe some NSFW doffy, kizaru, and crocodile headcannons with a short timid boyfriend 👀

like 1/16 into writing this I started using “your ass” or really harsh sounding phrases and I literally feel so bad I’m so sorry 😭 I feel like I’m insulting you or hurting your feelings 😂😭 anyway I don’t mean to be rude is all! 💕

also I was going to say Doffy calls you this one slur but of course I don’t say it and writing it would feel bad too so I just put f*****

Doffy, Kizaru, Crocodile NSFW headcanons with a short timid boyfriend

all of these men have a size kink 🙈🙉

-fucking in/on his coat either Doffy wearing just his coat while he’s jackhammering into you or you sprawled across his coat with your ass in the air he just goes crazy for it 

-yknow that one position where the top is basically sitting on the bottom’s ass? I forgot what it’s called but he loves doing that

-honestly I don’t know the names for a lot of sex positions but that other one I think it’s called bumper cars, but its when the top and bottom are facing away and their asses are ‘stacked’ on top of the other (I’m awkward and confused pls forgive me for my descriptions ;-;). I’ll just... stop here for this one

-bottom line is he’ll do whatever possions as long as he’s in control and preferably on top; but like the crazy inticate flexible positions, those are what he loves the most

-he’ll have you on top of his desk on all fours thrusting into your ass and he has some random servant come and literally just stand in front of you staring- they’re not allowed to close their eyes or look away. Doffy will ask “how does he look?” “he’s such a slut isn’t he?” and have the servant answer, he’ll also ask like “what do you think the hottest thing about him is hm?” and make the person compliment you but only in dirty ways

-he’ll make the servant call you a bitch/whore/slut/f*****/pussy and of course he’ll call you those things himself

-honestly he just likes seeing his timid little boy screaming and crying from pleasure (or pain, it’s Doffy we’re talking about) seeing you so flustered and blushing out of humiliation is 😩😩 for him

-he’s literally 1 inch shorter than Doffy (height wise 😱)

-this man is a perv and no one can change my mind~ on that note, he fucking looooves just cupping your ass. literally, just that. having you sit naked on his lap or with just one of his dress shirts (or marine coat 🤤) on and his hands are cupping your lower cheeks wwith occasional spanks

-same as Doffy, he adores seeing how small you look on/wearing his coat.  you’re literally drowning it in and when you’re laying on top of it with Kizi-kun (as I have nicknamed him) slamming into you, you can just grab onto the fabric under you and the admiral definitely notices how small your hands are 

-omfg omfg speaking of tiny hands, hand jobs (and/or blowjobs)! both of your hands together, the fingertips can meet around his shaft but just barely, just forget about wrapping just one hand around his dick. it turns Kizaru on sooooo fucking much seeing how big he is in your hands. and the adorable little flustered blushing face you have if *chef’s kiss*

-making you squirm in humiliation is one of his favorite hobbies. you’ll be at his work and he’ll whisper the dirtiest shit in your ear, or that awesome dirty talk thats just so disgustingly loving and nasty at the same time (yknow that type?) and you’re face will heat up and your kind of flinch in on yourself and Akainu will notice and you’ll make eye contact and it’s just 😳🙈🙉

-he’ll push you against the wall in the marine HQs and start tongue fucking your mouth and palming you through your pants/shorts/skirt (whataver you’re bottoms are) and he’ll pull away when someone is coming just so he can hear the other officer ask “_____ are you okay?”

-ooohhhhh how I love that gif 

-he’ll do the most subtle, unnoticeable, stealthy, dirty things in public or just in company of others. like dragging a single digit up from your ass to your neck and a l m o s t wrapping his hand around your throat

-but he’ll also straight up cup your ‘package’ through your bottoms- like he’ll turn around and his figure is shielding you and he’ll look at you with this disapproving look and sort of like he’s looking at some homeless/poor person and he’ll just *grab* and let go and turn around to face whatever company is there

-another man with a large coat and a size kink! 😃 while he does sooo enjoy that, he also likes doing it on an actual fur rug in front of a fireplace. yeah, Crocodile prefers high class things for the dirty act

-suck on his hook

-he lives to fluster you. in innocent ways of course, but also extremely corrupted ways *cough coruption kink cough*, he’ll make you do very domestic tasks (I think that works to describe it)  but he’ll basically make it look like you do everything for him, of course he has people to do everything for you and him, but he likes seeing you so submissive and ready to tend to his every command

-this man, will make you wear those high class fancy kinky outfits, like the frilly men’s (or women’s whatever you want) lingerie, or the frilly underwear. he’s totally up for buying you a tiny lacy dress (or tank top/shirt, etc.). usually he let’s you decide if you want to wear something like that, but he asks everytime and he’ll be extra nice to you in bed if you do (as in less teasing) calls you a “good boy” when you do it. buuuut, making you wear something like thigh high socks, lacy underwear, dresses, lingerie, definitely aren’t off the table 

-(completely ignore that last paragraph if you’re not into wearing dresses, thigh highs, lace, etc. and I’m sorry if that offended you in any way ☺️💕)

[into-the-daniverse]

Leon NSFW Headcanons

Last one of the band! @hirodraggg @valhallanrose @asras3rdeye @saltybitterss and @sunrisenfool enjoyyyy

Minors Do Not Interact—prime, spicy bastard energy under the cut

Nonbinary, identifies as pansexual, doesn’t really care about exact labels or genitals or what-have-you of his partners

They take the longest to get into bed, tbh

Not because they don’t want to, they probably know from the beginning of your conversation whether they want to sleep with you or not, but listen, they have to take a few extra precautions

He’s had enough uncomfortable sexual encounters where his partner thought they could baby him, or belittle him, so he wants to make it very clear that that is not the case

He’s blind, but can still sense people’s intentions, so he knows when someone is thinking about him in that way

If you want to be slick about it, play with his hair while you’re making out, maybe slide your hands down to grab his ass—which is very nice—and he’ll get the picture

Is a dominant bottom/power bottom—but he will sub/top for certain people on certain occasions

Listen, you may be fucking him, but he is very much in control here

The absolute cockiest asshole when he’s going hard, lots of teasing

The best at edging (who do you think first made Jamil cry from edging)

When getting their partner off, eating them out or sucking them off, they know exactly when to pull away right before you topple over the edge, and will wait until you’ve calmed down before going back to what they were doing

If you whine, they’ll wait longer

Looooves rude language—call him a “bitch,” “whore,” “bastard,” what have you, especially if he’s doming he adores it

He wants to know just how frustrated you are, how much you want him to stop teasing, so he can tease harder—I can feel you trembling, love, do you really want come that badly?

Really likes to use your senses to his advantage

Likes to blindfold his partners so they have to rely on everything else to sense him—now you know what it’s like for me, darling

Big fan of textures, wants to be fucked on nice silk sheets, in lacy lingerie, with soft or otherwise comfortable toys

Favorite fabrics include velvet, silk, lace, furs

Loves toys on himself like butt plugs or nipple clamps

Will sit and wait for you for however long with a plug in, almost unphased

On the rare occasion he is subbing, he is still cocky, but you can tease him back, and tame his brattiness quite easily

Touch is such a huge thing for him, if that gets taken away he becomes very squirmy, and if you play the long game, eventually he’ll beg for you to come back

Will use crocodile tears to try and make you take pity—it’s up to you if you let it work or not

When topping, they prefer to use their hands or a toy, but for quickies or if they’re being lazy, they’re fine with penetrating you themself if that’s what you want

Kinks include: sensation play/deprivation (for his partner), lingerie, light bdsm (not as intricate as Camia), scratching, food play

Please pull his hair, he loves it

You can leave as many marks as you want, wherever you want, he’s not going to care about covering them up—he can’t see them, what does he care if other people can see them?

Just, on that note, he loves being man-handled. Pushed, pulled—shove him against a wall or a door, or ask him to do it to you if he’s topping

Note that if he doesn’t want to be moved, he will Not Be Moved. He may not look like it, but he is just as strong as Jamil and very good at controlling his balance to keep from moving

Swears a lot, no matter the position or role, but the only time he’s Loud is when he’s being submissive—he gets really into it, especially if his face is pressed into the sheets, ass up

Will use his magic in the bedroom if you want—this includes making toys move on their own or making the both of you levitate

Free-floating sex? Hell yeah, just hold on tight

His go-to pet names are “darling,” “love,” or “honey” but if you have any requests, just let him know

DO NOT: try to do things for them, restrain their hands (unless previously discussed), asphyxiation, blood play (bites that draw a little blood are okay, but nothing with knives)

Out of the rest of the band, he is the least phased by mention of the other members in bed, can easily carry on a conversation about an earlier performance or something while being fucked

Might be a little jealous if you bring up them in regards to past relationships though, pay attention to him

Very open to threesomes, and just like with Jamil, they’re most likely to have them with him—since they’re so comfortable with each other, it’s just easier for them to focus on you that way

But he is open to new partners, of course, with proper discussion beforehand

Loves to cuddle after sex, might whine if you want to get up to shower or bathe, but if you promise to help wash his hair he’ll get up without too much fuss

Very clingy, will attach himself to you the minute you’re back in bed

Also, he sleeps nude all the time, so he won’t be putting clothes back on any time soon

[sharksdraw]

trying my hand at drawing my beastars oc, Goliath, in different ways! You can see more about this guy here! and a smidge more info below which I might repeat in the future when I get my beastars info more organized

Did you know that saltwater crocodiles can weigh as much as 1000 kg (about 2000 lbs)??? Though that’s on the high end of things, the average is more like 450 kg (1000 lbs), which is still BIG. with that weight in mind plus the elongated limbs, Goliath is a HEAVY mfer, with his legs having to carry all that weight around. P sure there’s a reason crocos stay on their bellies, but for beastars we’ll pretend its not a huge feat! He would probably only be dwarfed by elephants, rhinos, and the like.

Anyways, his large size is passed down from his family; his great grandfather used his size to take control of parts of the black market in his area. Being the largest creature to travel both land and sea, he set up his “mafia” of sorts right near the water, where he can use it to his advantage. He is still alive and very very old, his weight becoming a bit saggy and slow. Still a very dangerous individual and his bite is not to be messed with!!

From a bab, Goliath lived with his great grandfather. He was on a strictly carnivorous black market diet before he even knew what it was made out of, per his ggfather’s insistence. At a little older, his great grandmother took him out of that dangerous environment and weaned him off of black market meat. Luckily he got off of it young enough, now a days he doesn’t even remember the taste (just that it was good)! He feels guilty about his diet as a bab and really isn’t interested in going back to it. Now his primary food is egg!  

Living w his gmother, he was put into an all carnivore school. The area he grew up in was small and very segregated, so he got very little herbivore interaction (but not zero). It wasn’t until he left for college when he was pretty much thrown into an integrated environment, carns and herbs all intermingling in the same buildings!

His major is undecided, he gets very good grades, and he looooves to swim and is VERY good at it, but will only swim late when no one else is there. He has his reasons. And said reasons keep him from joining the swimming team, much to the dismay of his future friends!

This is all liable to change or at least be altered slightly in the future! Just putting my current thoughts out!

[surveys-at-your-service]

Survey #343

“i slither like a viper and get you by the neck  /  i know a thousand ways to help you forget about her”

What's your favorite kind of bear? I don't really know. I just like bears. Have you ever sent a FWD because you were afraid? Ha, yup, as a little kid. Would you ever date more than one person at a time? Nooooo sir. Have you ever rebounded... or been someone's rebound? No. What’s the biggest argument you’ve ever had with a family member? Did things ever go back to how they were beforehand? My grandmother cursed me the fuuuuck out one night as a kid because I was in a mood and didn't tell my mother goodnight. I still remember being called an ungrateful bitch with her like an inch from my face, and admittedly, I was being rude because I wanted to go home, but it kinda scarred me for life. For the remainder of her life, I was always sort of on edge around her and was convinced she didn't like me. Have you ever experienced some kind of natural disaster? I've been through lots of hurricanes. None that massively affected my life, though. If you have pets, do you feed them human food or do they just get regular pet food? If they do get human food, what’s their favorite thing to have? Venus is a snake, so she obviously doesn't get food meant for humans. Roman is very well-trained to not beg or make a move for people's food; he tried once as a kitten, and giving him a pop taught him right away. Have you ever been in a physical fight? Who won? No. What’s the mode of transport that you take or use the most? The car. Mom's, specifically. Have you ever had a zoo keeper experience or anything where you’ve been able to go behind the scenes and look after/feed the animals? No, but I wish. :( Would you ever want the responsibility of being a politician or a similar position of power? NOOOOOOO. What’s something your parents do that really annoys you? Mom is *always* right, pretty much indisputably. And she WILL have the last word. Dad, meanwhile, can be pretty rude to people. I don't think he realizes it half the time, but still. It's not an excuse. What is your main source of anxiety? Social interactions. What’s your favorite 90s cartoon? Pokemon. Describe the moment you realized you were falling in love with someone. I'd rather not. What’s your favorite sparkling water brand/flavor? I've never tried sparkling water. What’s your favorite makeup brand/brands? I don't have a favorite, considering I don't wear it nearly enough and have never even bought my own. I just use whatever Mom buys. What are some female names you would name a baby? Alessandra is my favorite for sure. I also love Anneliese, Justine, Evelyn, Chloe, Evangeline, Quinn... There's a lot. What about male? Severin is my favorite, and I also like Damien, Vincent, Victor, and Luther. Do you have any subscription boxes? No. What fictional creature would you like as a pet? I want a dragon, goddammit. Idc if it can breathe fire ok I want a dragon. Ewoks are also the one and only thing I enjoy from Star Wars. What kind of dwelling do you live in? Just a one-story house. Is there anyone you work with that you don't get along with? Why? N/A Do you have an opinion on adopting/purchasing a pet? PLEASE adopt, especially with cats and dogs, given the number of strays. Purebreds tend to have so many underlying issues, and besides, it's just a LOT of money for an animal that probably wouldn't outlive a mutt. Don't feed the machine if you can. What's your favorite chain restaurant? The Cheesecake Factory or Olive Garden. Why were you last pulled over? I’ve never been pulled over before. What was the last thing you've done on the water? Just kinda swam around a bit in the ocean. It was so warm, totally like a bath. I do NOT miss that sun poisoning, though. Are you cool with swimming in a lake? I think I'd do it if someone invited me to, and the lake didn't look filthy, of course. Do you have a drone? No. What's your favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant? We have this tiny, local Mexican place that's really good. I don't know the name of it, and I wouldn't share it for obvious reasons. What do you order from there? Chips and salsa of course, along with a shrimp and cheese quesadilla, and finally their cheesy rice. What's your favorite ice-cream flavor? Depending on my mood, it bounces between vanilla with chocolate syrup or just plain chocolate. Do you have any t-shirts from any local businesses? No. Do you listen to any talk shows or podcasts? I used to listen to Mark, Bob, and Wade's podcast, but I'm like... ten months behind, haha. What's something someone calls you that you find endearing? I like "love" a lot. What's your favorite children's book? I loved books like The Rainbow Fish, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Stellaluna, 10 Minutes 'til Midnight, What Makes a Rainbow?, Chrysanthemum, etc. Is there a new season for a series you're excited to come out? Meerkat Manor comes back this summer, and I am fucking HYPED. How old are you? I'm 25. What is something unique you enjoy about the one you like/love? I tease her about it all the time, but it's really cute that she keeps all of her snakes' good sheds in her room. Proud reptile mom. Are you more liberal or conservative? I'm close to the middle, but I lean towards being more liberal, and I seem to go more that way with time. Do you watch American Horror Story? I used to. I saw the entire first season and really liked it, and then I almost finished the second, but I lost interest. The story got a bit stupid imo. I'd be willing to watch other seasons, though. Does your hometown have any urban legends/scary stories? None that I’m aware of. The people there are scary enough. What's the scariest nightmare you remember having? Let's not talk about it. Are you medicated? Uh very. Are there any apps you're addicted to? Nah. Did you have a favorite stuffed animal as a child? It was initially a bunny holding a polka-dotted blanket, then it become a moose I got from Cabela's when in Ohio. Do you still collect stuffed animals? Only meerkat ones. Have you ever stolen/borrowed clothes from an ex? Haha I've worn Jason's pj pants before and they just kinda... became mine, lol. What's the last movie you watched at home? The Shining, I believe. What's the last movie you watched in theaters? The CGI remake of The Lion King. I still don't get why it was received so badly. Have you ever had eggs cooked over a campfire? I don't think so, no. If you do drink, what's your favorite alcoholic beverage? Margaritas, generally. However, Sara's dad made me this absofuckinglutely incredible chocolate drink before that tasted like a milkshake. It had like, no alcohol flavor, which worked out well for me considering I very much dislike that taste. Are there any songs you've been listening to repetitively lately? There's a new one every day lately, haha. Today it's Halocene's cover of "Love Bites (So Do I)." Cereal, granola, or oatmeal? Cereal. What TV shows did you grow up watching? You gotta gimme an age group... but I'd say the typical stuff for kids of that time. What does your phone case look like? It's just a boring purple that came with it. What were your favorite toys to play with as a child? I looooved playing with my "family" of a father crocodile, a mother deer, their two "children" (a fawn and smaller croc), and "friends" that were little Pokemon figurines. Then there was an evil t-rex with two stupid sidekicks, haha. I can't remember what dinosaurs they were. What's the most embarrassing thing you can ever remember doing? Hold on, lemme find my book. Do you remember what you dreamt about last night? I only very faintly recall dreaming about my cat Roman. Have you ever done anything embarrassing in a dream? Thank FUCK they're just dreams. Do you vape? Nah. What was a song you loved as a child? So uh. Apparently. I loved "Dookie" by Green Day. It's an undying story from Mom about how it came on once at a putt-putt place and I apparently started yelling "dookie!" and dancing. Do you enjoy the Arctic Monkeys? Yeah, I love some of their songs. Are you going to see Finding Dory? You bet your sweet ass I saw it. I've cried everytime I've watched it. Have you ever been horseback-riding? I have not, but I would love to. When was your last piercing? Whenever I got my tragus done, which I can't remember. What did your first crush look like? I don't remember my puppydog love first crush, but I can talk about my first REAL crush, Sebastian. He's a skinny dude with short, brown hair and a lip piercing... I can't remember which kind. He dressed in an emo style, and Facebook pictures at least suggest he still kind of does, I think. Is your body more curvy or flat? Well, I'm not at all skinny, so... What's your least favorite holiday? Probably Christopher Colombus Day, honestly. You didn't discover shit. Don't pretend to me it's worth celebrating in a clean conscience. if you’re having a boring day what do you usually do? If I'm rock-bottom bored, quite honestly, I normally nap, even though I know I shouldn't. Do you turn to food when you're upset? Ugh, I'm admittedly an emotional eater. I got way better about it, and then I started up again. Is your bf/gf good with your parents? I don't have an s/o. Do you think soda should be served at school? Vending machines are fine I suppose, as I don't believe they should be free seeing as they're nothing but sugar content, and I feel schools shouldn't just hand that out to kids at lunch or something. Do dogs have feelings? They sure do. Are you afraid of snakes? Oh no! I adore them. I respect snakes and am going to give wild ones their space for sure considering I don't recognize every native venomous one, but nevertheless, I'm not afraid of them. They are so vital to the ecosystem and are incredibly fascinating animals that deserve our protection. On that note, PLEASE do not kill any snake you come across in your shed or whatever. Call someone to relocate the terrified thing. Favorite snack? It depends on what I'm in the mood for, really. Ever seen The Notebook? Read the book, seen the movie plenty of times. Do you think cussing is trashy? No. Who is the most famous person you’ve met, if any? Nobody. Do you own any animals that aren’t domestic? No. Have you ever feared that you would lose a body part? No. Do you like gore? Yeah, generally. Do you like to drink water? Ugh, I really don't. I wish I did. Have you ever had a wax? I used to get my eyebrows waxed. Do you have any sets of matching bras and underwear? No. Are you any good at improv? Not at ALL.
