Don't laugh at please, but listen. Fem!Sanji au, but only Sanji is genderbend. She escaped Germa and never met Zeff, but she stranded on a lonely, little island with only a grandma living there. The grandma takes her in and teaches her everything. The grandma soon dies and Sanji grows up alone in the little house. Ofcourse she still gets mail tho from that bird.

She tends to get lonely. She has her own garden full of vegetables. She's still strong tho, needing to fight off some wild animals on her own. Ofcourse she is beautiful (I have something for Fem!Sanji. I just think she would look absolutely gorgeous) She stays there until one day a ship comes. The Whitebeard pirates, ofcourse at first she is suspicious like, but she starts trusting them as she hangs around them. Aside from Teach tho, she has a bad feeling around him, but as she considers herself an outsider, she doesnt say anything. She also grows closer to Ace and they both fall inlove And then they leave, not before asking Sanji if she wants to come with them. She declines and watches them leave, not before kissing Ace for the first time and making him promise to visit her, but regrets it some later... Ah what is done can't be changed.

Until some months later she sees the news of Ace being captured and her heart breaks and she sets off to alone to save her lover.

A Marineford then as Luffy is screaming that he will save Ace, Sanji appears, waving while yelling Ace's name. Ace looks shocked at seeing Sanji. Sanji swears she will scold him after he yelled at her, asking what she was doing here. Remember, Sanji is pretty, so she gets some looks tho.

Yeah, Ace is saved because Sanji helped them get away from Akainu, but Whitebeard dies.

Tell me if you wanna hear more about it, it's just an Au that came in my head some random night and hasn't gotten out of it for weeks now. Just needed to share.

Not laughing, this is sad and heartbreaking and utterly adorable in my humble opinion, here's what I came up with. Feel free to share more though! Sanji, the smallest child of the Vinsmoke family and she is certainly the cutest. She sounds so sweet that she manages to get the keys off the guards and escapes Germa, leaving the helmet behind. She manages to make it to an uninhabited, or at least she thinks that's what it is, and decides death on her own terms is better. She looks around the island and finds a shack and an old woman who greets her with a smile. It's been a long time since she's seen another person, let alone a child. Sanji is looking at her with curiosity as she is taken in by this woman. She learns so much from this woman, hunting, gardening, making her own tools. Sanji takes to it with aplomb, so much more than she thought she would but she loves it. She learns to sew clothes from the sails that was ashore, how to repair the shack. The old woman, Granny she insists on being called, is getting up there in age so she needs Sanji to be self-sufficient. To be able to care for herself. Granny adores the blonde girl, her accent, the way it thickens when she's excited, the way she's grown to know peace.

When the time comes Sanji buries her, a lovely made marker so Sanji can come visit. She's absolutely feral, protective of what's hers. The lack of contact with humans though and only having animals that are sometimes her friends, sometimes her prey, sometimes she's their prey really don't do much for socialization. She's lonely, she talks to Granny sometimes, her hair keeps getting longer and longer and she's going full amazonian/george of the jungle. She sets herself on fire and would have almost burned down the island had it not been a tropical storm. She tells Granny after, and then practices on the beach so she doesn't set anything else on fire. It's useful though, she loves it. Sanji is very quickly becoming a pyromaniac, think Ace on Foosha but worse because there's no one to rein her in. I think that's what catches the attention of the White Beard fleet and making them check on an island that should have nothing but wildlife, Ace is begging to go and the older crew (everyone else) is wavering because what the fuck could be there? Thatch finally agrees and convinces the others to make landfall on the island. Sanji looks at them all as they approach and is looking at them and is gearing for a fight. It's her island. They will not take it from her, not when it's the only safety she knows. No matter how lonely she is, if it was another grandma she might think about it but it's just a bunch of men around her father's age and that-

That is terrifying.

I think Sanji, after being alone for so long after Granny dies, her speech isn't great, not having another person or people to talk to. Her voice is rough and worn and she looks fucking amazing. Long legs on fire, a hand on a homemade spear and a sword that washed up at one point. Ace has a full nosebleed, it's like gruesome and Teach and Marco are trying to get it to stop. She's yelling at them as the worn sail clothing she wears doesn't hide much and she yells at them to ask why they're there. Marco, hands covered in Ace's blood from his nosebleed say they were investigating because they're traveling through their territory. Sanji reads the news, trades the bird for the paper with pretty shells or pieces of hides from animals. She knows of these men, therefore she doesn't trust them. The fact three of them are covered in blood and one of them just gives her a sour vibe does not endear them to her. Marco promises they mean no harm but they'll be passing through more often. Sanji snarls at them and Ace is so fucking whipped and Marco tells him now is not the time for his mommy issues because Ace looks like he wants to prostrate to this woman and beg for her to believe them. She looks at him as he stumbles over his words because she's on fire, her body is a weapon. She's flicking her eyes between them as her legs heat more to start melting the sand under her feet.

Thatch asks what devil fruit she ate which confuses her because she's never seen one. She's strong because she had to be, to survive what she had, after running, after losing Granny, after being alone for so /long/. They ask if they can stay a few days, get to know her, to see what she's done with the place. She agrees hesitantly. Thatch helps the others clean blood off them, fully dunking Ace into the ocean to 'cleanse the dirty bastard of his sins, good fuck, Ace. We're the first people she's seen in years, I know you're young but fuck dude-' Sanji doesn't understand what that means as Marco apologizes and claims to be a doctor. Sanji tilts her head and asks the difference between doctors and scientists and Marco says doctor's care about people because he can kind of see that if he says something different he'll get molten glass kicked at him. Ace after being released finds Sanji and shows her his fire and says Marco can turn into a pheonix, the fire bird, and it's so cool that she hasn't eaten a fruit but can do that. She smiles minutely at him and Ace asks if she can show him around. She takes them around and they look at everything she has done on the island, the shack, the garden, the grave. Thatch shows her some cooking stuff that she watches with so much focus because it smells so good. Ace talks about growing up in a jungle in the East Blue and talks about his time there and Sanji is listening. She asks questions to the best of her abilities and he deciphers them and answers. The elders talk about how this is the longest they've ever seen him sit down in one place. She's good for him, they can all see it. Ace manages to hug her by the end of the first day and Sanji, touch starved and lacking words, folds into him and clings because he's so warm and soft and Teach takes a photo of it. She doesn't trust them still, the older men, but Ace is closer to her age and he's /warm/ so she stays close to him until it's late in the night and she doesn't trust them so she asks them to leave and points at the other side of the island. Not their ship, but definitely away from her. They agree.

The next day they're awoke by Sanji killing something nearby and looks at them and gestures at the massive boar she just killed and Ace scrambles to haul it up and take it back to the shack she lives in. Teach calls him whipped and she says she doesn't have a whip with a frown, being whipped isn't fun, and Ace is trying to say it's a turn of phrase. Sanji wrinkles her nose at that and Ace coos at how adorable she is. He's gone, he's sold, she could tell him to drown and he probably would. Teach looks like he knows this and eyes Sanji carefully. Sanji catches him and narrows her eyes at him before they go back to the shack and start preparing to cook and eat. No one notices how she avoids Teach, she doesn't like how he feels like sap to her senses and he sticks and gums it up but in a bad way. She doesn't like it, doesn't like him. She has no place to say, even as over the days she gets closer with Ace. He definitely wraps an arm around her whenever he can and they offer to bring her clothes but she doesn't need them. She makes do. Thatch and Marco tease Ace because yeah, she does make do, she makes Ace make suffer while she's at it. Unknowingly, but she does still do it. Her body is a weapon just like Ace and he could definitely see himself be at her mercy.

"God, she's like Rouge and he's just like every other pirate who ever met her." Marco laughs.

"Yeah, I can see that." Teach agrees.

"Mommy issues meet feral gremlin." Thatch gestures between the two, Ace looks unimpressed as Sanji asks what they mean. Ace simply guides her away from them. Later Marco is looking at them with this sort of fondness and sadness as he explains they have to leave. They're getting ready to go back and Ace leaves her a piece of his vivre card and Sanji is staring at it in confusion. Ace says it'll guide her to him if she needs him and he can't make it for whatever reason. She nods and just before they leave she kisses Ace and he goes back full force into it. Marco takes a picture to show to Pops because he's going to fucking lose it. It is truly a 'like father, like son' situation. He needs this for future blackmail. Ace hides his face under his hat anytime anyone ever mentions Sanji to him. Pops laughs at him and it shakes the ground, Ace mumbles and wants to get back to his girl on the island. Except he can't because Teach kills Thatch over a devil fruit Thatch found and now he's on the hunt. He's not happy about it but oh well.

Sanji might not be good at talking but she's real great at reading since it doesn't require other people. She loves reading the news because it so unreal to her. She's been isolated for so long it all sounds like a fairy tale to her, faraway lands with nobility and wars and peace and marriages and love. Sure, she used to be a princess but not really. Not by her father's standards. But she sees Ace disappear from the news and she starts getting worried, before the execution is announced. Sanji fixes up the boat that's either washed up or she brought from Germa. She sets off to Marineford and following the vivre card and dead set on saving him. It's not like it actually matters. She arrives in time to see some kid in a straw hat screaming for Ace and she runs to help and her legs are on fire and Ace is yelling at Luffy before seeing Sanji and being very confused why she's there. Luffy is laughing because that's the Sanji Ace had told him about with stars in his eyes? She's pretty cool, he guesses, the amount of marines and pirates sending her whistles and looks is, well, it's upsetting. To Ace. Marco tells White Beard that Ace and Sanji are perfect for each other before the war begins in full. She's strong and powerful and feral, she growls and bares her teeth as she kicks and slices her way through those blocking her path, Luffy thinks she's really fucking cool. After Ace gets free Sanji glares at him as he laughs. It's absurd to him, that she managed to make it, to team up with his brother to save him. Marco is going to give him so much shit for this. His maybe girlfriend coming to save him from his execution, they get yelled at to run and they do making a break for it as White Beard fights Teach and Sanji is watching the pure power over her shoulder. Then Akainu joins the fight and Ace goes and rejoins the fight after Pops falls. Sanji growls something low and deep in her chest and she charges back to go collect him. Then Akainu goes after Luffy and Sanji and Ace head back to him and Ace leaps for the punch but Sanji screams at Akainu and distracts him. He looks at her with a flash of recognition and a growled 'Princess.' as Sanji growls back at him as the fist stops flying towards the brothers. Marco yells at them to run, all of them, before turning his attention to Akainu and Shanks shows up. They make their escape, running past the captain of the Red Hair Pirates to flee. Shanks looking at the three of them and Buggy yells at them to come. They make it to the Polar Tang and Law is tilting his head at the blonde before demanding to check them all over. If half the crew gets nosebleeds, Luffy and Sanji are clueless as to why. Ace nods at them in solidarity as he wraps an arm around her.

[imagines--galore]

Since you're asking for prompts,I was envisioning Will confessing to the reader in the same way George confessed to Charlotte in Queen Charlotte (the "my heart calls your name" confession) and thought it would suit Will really well!! Like maybe reader puts herself in danger by trying to save Will or something idk

Pairing: Will Turner x Reader Rating || Genres || Warnings: T. Romance. None. A/N: I just ADORE Will Turner so much :3 and I love Charlotte the series as well so this was the PERFECT blend! Sorry for any mistakes folks! Also If you read this please please tell me what you think!!!

Your head was pounding. And not from drinking too much ale. You were sure of it.

Blinking your eyes, you were met with an unfamiliar ceiling. Normally you would wake in a hammock onboard the Black Pearl, with the gentle sway of the ship welcoming you to another day.

But everything was steady and there was no creaking or moaning of the ship as it sailed.

Your eyes blinked once more, to clear them from any remaining sleep. Slowly your brain began to recall the last thing you remembered.

Davy Jone's crew.

A fight on an island.

Fleeing to the Black Pearl.

The Kraken attacking the ship.

The entire crew fighting valiantly to save themselves and their ship.

Huge tentacles rising from the mysterious depths of the waters you had traveled for so long.

Ready to kill.

To drag someone to a watery grave.

To drag Will to his doom.

Will!

You sat up with a loud gasp, eyes frantically darting from one end of the unfamiliar room to the other before finally landing on a familiar figure that had only just stepped into the room.

Will Turner stood at the threshold, holding a bowl of what could only be food. The scent of it wafted through the air and your stomach grumbled in protest at being denied nourishment.

Yet you could not move. Could only stare at the man as he stood before you.

"I see I managed to save you then." You finally said, feeling a little uncomfortable under his gaze. He was looking at you as if you were the very moon that hung in the sky. Which was utterly ridiculous because that was how he saw Elizabeth.

"And that we managed to escape in one piece." You raised a hand to your head, only to be greeted by a bandage wrapped around the entirety of it. A slight twinge of pain against your left temple made you aware of where exactly your injury was. "So, what did I miss? After I passed out?"

Whatever emotional turmoil Will had been battling he pushed it aside in favor of walking forward and handing the bowl to you. As you began to spoon the watery broth to your mouth, he pulled up a chair to sit beside your bed.

"After you passed out, we all piled into the lifeboats. I managed to haul you in as well." He paused almost looking at you expectantly. You raised an eyebrow at him. "And you expect me to thank you for saving me?" You asked in a dry tone, to which he rolled his eyes before continuing.

"Elizabeth was the last of us to get on. But Jack.........Jack stayed. To act as diversion for the kraken."

Your eyes widened and you dropped your spoon into your nearly empty bowl. "He...what?" You whispered, sounding just as in disbelief as you felt. Sorrow passed over Will's feature as he nodded gravely. "Jack's dead, Y/n." He confirmed, to which you took a shuddering breath and closed your eyes, before slowly falling back against the wall behind you.

The both of you sat in silence, with Will reaching out to gently and almost hesitantly placing a hand on top of yours as a sign of comfort. "I'm sorry, y/n. I knew you were close." Tears pricked your eyes but you didn't let them fall. Though you did give a small nod. "As close as a person can be with someone who took them under their protection."

That had been the extent of your relationship with Jack. Your families were old friends, and even related by blood somewhere down the line. And when you had decided to travel the seas as a pirate, Jack had been the one who agreed to let you sail with him. Not many pirates were happy having a female presence onboard, but you had proved yourself enough times that it no longer bothered them.

You had been with Jack through thick and thin. Through fire and water. You had been the only one on his side, along with Gibbs, when Barbossa had mutinied against him.

If it weren't for Jack, you wouldn't have realized your dream of becoming a pirate. And if it hadn't been for Jack, you would never have met Will Turner.

When you had first met Will, him and Jack had just arrived at Tortuga to look for a ship to go after Will's beloved Elizabeth. You had been slightly mistrustful towards him at first, and also a little jealous since Jack seemed to be spending all his time with him. But given how easily Will had befriended the rest of the crew, despite his own mistrust of pirates, you had taken to forming an unlikely acquaintanceship.

You were the best swords woman of your age, and it showed when you would take to the deck and practice every single day.

                                          ————————–

Then one day, your sword clashed with Will's.

Your eyes met over the joined blades, gauging the silent question in his. A smirk was your response before you stepped to the side and raised your sword in response.

And so a battle of wits and skill began.

Your swords clashed, your feet danced, your gazes never wavered and neither did your determination.

The entire deck was your practice ground, and the rest of the crew had gotten well out of the way when they had seen the both of you begin to duel. The both of you used every prop to gain the upper hand. But never once did either of you try a dirty trick. And while there had been a sense of pride behind each fell of your swords, slowly they began to grow playful. As did your words.

Back and forth, back and forth. With your swords and with your teasing insults and quips. Smiled full of passion and energy playing about your lips as you both danced to a tune only you could here.

It finally stopped when Jack called out to you. Neither of you yielded, or allowed the other to gain the upper hand. So, with sweat lining your brows and barely able to get a word out with how you both panted for breath, you were only able to smile at one another and say.

"To be continued good sir?" You had said in a slightly mocking yet playful tone to which he had grinned and given you a little bow before speaking.

"As the lady wishes."

But you never did pick back up on the match.

Instead the both of you would simply find each other and talk. He spoke of his life growing up as an orphan, with no money and no family. You had spoken of your own struggles, and slowly, without you realizing, in the weeks that it took you to finally catch up to the Black Pearl, you were made aware of your true feelings for Will.

You would watch him as he interacted with the rest of the crew, and on more then one occasion Jack had caught you simply smiling at him. He had tried to discourage you, telling you of who Will really loved and how nothing could be done about it.

Especially not when he was in love with Elizabeth.

You knew of the consequences, but you simply enjoyed his company too much to just stop spending time with him. And while you knew you were setting yourself up for a lot of heartache, it didn't stop you from forming a companionship with Will.

Although that too came to an abrupt and almost cruel end.

To cut a long story short, Elizabeth was rescued and Barbossa was defeated. Jack had his ship and his crew.

And Will returned home to marry Elizabeth.

Whatever friendship had been blossoming between the both of you had fizzled out the moment Elizabeth had been rescued. And though you knew you were setting yourself up for heartbreak, you did not comprehend just how much it would hurt. How his lack of presence would effect you. He hadn't even offered a proper goodbye when he had left. You had thought that perhaps as a friend he would do you the courtesy, but it was not so.

He never looked back at you.

Not once.

                                          ————————–

And so you decided to put him out of your mind. But never your heart. You couldn't put him out of your heart and it only made you miss him more.

So when he returned, this time for the purpose of saving Elizabeth once more, you were cold towards him. Cold and distant, even when he had approached you to speak with you. Your heart had cursed you for not speaking with him, but you were still too hurt over his dismissal of you the last time that you had no desire to forgive him.

All that vanished though, when Davy Jones appeared and agreed to take Will aboard the Flying Dutchman. You knew it was Jack's doing, that he had a plan in place, but that didn't stop you from stepping forward and volunteering to go along with him.

Out of love? Out of desperation? Out of your compulsion to protect the people you cared about? You did not know.

Jack had tried to protest, but Davy Jones accepted.

And so you found yourself standing beside Will, watching as the Black Pearl sailed away, leaving you onboard a ship of dangerous pirates, and a man who did not know how much you loved him.

At every turn, you tried your best to help him. You had learned long ago when to keep your head down and simply follow orders. Will was not a pirate. He picked up every chance he could to fight back. And when he discovered his father was one of the crew members, you had comforted him. And when he had been punished for his mistake with lashings, you had been the one to tend to him, cleaning his wounds and wiping away the blood. You had held his hand as he twitched from the pain, had stroked his hair when he needed a comforting touch.

Your mind screamed at you, at how you were setting yourself for heartbreak once more. But your heart rejoiced. You knew he was doing whatever he was to help Elizabeth, to save her, but you couldn't help it. All those feelings you had buried came rushing back to the top.

Your escape from the Flying Dutchman as well as the Kraken was pure luck. However, by your second encounter with the Kraken, when it came after Jack, your luck had run out.

You had been trying your best to avoid the lashing tentacles, as they grabbed man after man and threw them into the sea. You had successfully avoided capture, but only barely. Your eyes had frantically searched the deck, looking for a way to avoid yet another tentacle when you had spotted Will.

With a tentacle gliding his way to swipe him off his feet and into the water below.

You had screamed his name, had felt yourself leap into action. You ran, throwing yourself forward to push him out of the way. And you succeeded. Only for the tentacle, meant for Will, to hit your body with a force that had your teeth rattling and for you to go flying.

A flash of pain was all you felt at the side of your head. A voice calling out your name in utter alarm and despair was all you remembered.

And then darkness.

                                          ————————–

Presently, you blinked away your tears as you set aside the bowl and looked around. It was the first time that you noticed you were in some sort of bed built into the wooden walls. The air smelled heavy and musty. Familiar even.

"Are we at Tia Delma's hideout?" You asked, to which you received a nod in response. "How many of us survived?" Will pursed his lips at her question, and you knew the answer could not be good. "Only a few. Gibbs made it. As did the both of us. And Elizabeth." Of course she did, you thought to yourself.

Wanting to change the subject you raised a hand to your head to press your fingers tenderly against your covered temple. "How long have I been asleep?" The thinning of Will's lips told you just how displeased he was with the answer he gave. "Three days. You were barely alive when we reached Tia Delma. She took one look at you and took you to this room. Working on you for hours before finally letting me in to see you." He admitted, sounding almost angry at the woman.

"Remind me to thank her later." You said with a small smile, as you leaned your head back against the wall and sighed. Your hand came up to fiddle with the skull and cross gold necklace that rested at your throat. "I can't believe he's gone." You whispered, feeling the loss of your friend deeply.

"Elizabeth is in pieces because of it."

You blinked. "Why would she be in pieces over Jack's death?" You asked. You had suspicions that the girl never really liked Jack. There was always some sort tension between the both of them.

"Because she loved him."

Will's words had you blinking in utter surprise.

"What?"

He frowned at the confusion on your face. "I thought you knew?" You rolled your eyes. "Oh yes Will, Elizabeth and I sit together for tea and gossip about our love lives." The statement did make him crack a little smile before he continued.

"Well now you know. Elizabeth loved Jack."

"But I thought you loved her. Weren't you going to marry her?" You asked, allowing your curiosity to show. With all that had happened, neither of you had been able to properly sit and speak. Not when your lives had been in constant danger by either cannibals, or mad pirates or mythical creatures or the Company.

So many people were out to kill all of you.

"I was. I thought I loved her. But I realized, when we got back home, that it was nothing but infatuation. She was the one who rescued me when I was found adrift. And we grew up together. So, I allowed my boyhood feelings to grow into something that was never meant to be." He paused for a moment. "Those feelings are all gone now. And I was glad she found someone to love. For a little while." He added sadly, glancing in the direction the door where Elizabeth was probably sitting beyond. You did too, almost expecting Jack to come swaggering in with his usual land-legs and a bottle of ale in his hand.

"I never expected Jack of all people to die. He seemed almost immortal." You admitted.

"Well he proved he was a mortal man and met his doom. And you would've followed him too, if Tia Delma hadn't been here." You glanced at him curiously, not understanding the tone of his voice. He was glaring at you, his eyes almost stormy. "How could you be so reckless? What you did was extremely dangerous, even for you Y/n."

"You mean saving your life?" A frown creased your brow. "I did what I did to save you Will. And if that is a crime then take me to the brig." You snapped with a roll of your eyes. "And aren't people usually grateful to those who save them?"

He glared at you. "Not at the expense of their own life. The Company is taking over the seas, we need every good pirate we can get."

Anger coursed through your veins. "Oh so thats why you were worried about me? Because you didn't want to loose a good pirate. Its all about strategy with you isn't it?" All your past hurt and heartache was beginning to simmer under the surface, and if you weren't careful you would probably say something you would regret. But you didn't care.

His nostrils flared. "How could you think its simply because of that? Do you truly believe I am that shallow?" He spoke angrily to which you gave a mocking nod. "Of course I do. I mean why else would you ignore me once you gained my friendship?"

"I never-"

But you cut him off. "I thought we were friends Will. But the moment you rescued Elizabeth you ignored me as if you never knew me. As if we didn't spend weeks in each other's company. And then you came back, and I was there with you on the Dutchman, but as soon as you saw Elizabeth, once more you pushed me aside. I am not something you can use whenever you desire before putting it aside to gather dust. And even when I save your life, when I rescue you, you say such things to me?" Your voice had slowly started to rise in octave with each passing word. It was a good thing no one was within earshot to hear you.

Will looked angry with every word that came out of your mouth. "You put yourself in grave danger, Y/n. You always have no regard for your own life or your own safety and it worries me."

"And why should that bother you? Or even worry you for that matter. What am I to you?"

"I only wish to help you Y/n. To protect you-" He reached out with his hand almost as if he were about to touch you but stopped.

You turned your head away. "I did not ask for your protection Will, I do not need it. Why would you wish to protect me?"

"Because-" But you didn't allow him to finish.

"Is it because you think of me as some damsel in distress?" He shook his head.

"No Y/n-" Once again he was interrupted from saying his piece.

"Or you do not believe me to be capable of doing anything."

His voice was almost pleading, imploring you to listen to him. "Y/n-"

But you barely heard him, allowing your hurt and pain to blind you as you spoke. "Why? Why do you wish to protect me so?"

"Because I love you!"

His deceleration came out in a shout. One that echoed in your ears and had your mouth parting in utter surprise, while you stared at him in utter disbelief.

For his part, Will had stood from his chair, hands buried in his hair as he began to pace the length of the small room, still speaking in an almost frenzied and desperate manner.

"From the mo-" His voice broke as he met your gaze. "From the moment I saw you." Suddenly he was sitting in front of you on the bed, clutching at your hand in an almost desperate manner as he continued. "I have loved you from the very second I saw you." His words washed over you like a warm ocean breeze.

"I love you desperately Y/n." His voice was trembling, every word sounding almost broken as he spoke. "My heart calls your name. And I cannot loose you. I cannot." With each word his hands raised to cup your face, only to bring you forward and press your lips to his in a desperate kiss.

And you returned it.

You felt your heart heal and break at the same time as he brushed a hand against your bandages. Pulling back from the kiss, he rested his forehead against your own. "I cannot do this without you, Y/n." He admitted to which you wrapped your arms around his shoulders and embraced him with all your strength, hoping to pour all of your love for him in that one simple gesture. "I suppose it is a good thing I love you as well then." You whispered against his neck, to which he let out a small slightly tearful laugh. "I am aware of that. Given how you whispered it to me when you were slipping in and out of consciousness."

You pulled back, staring at wide eyed at his grinning face. "What?!"

“Don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me.” He gently brushed his knuckles against your cheek, a gesture that made you blush. Your hand lifted to trace along the side of his face, enjoying how he closed his eyes, as if to savour your touch.

“I will never leave you Will. Just as long as you promise to never leave me.” You said, still stroking his face.

He nodded in response. “I promise.” His hand found the back of your head, urging you forward to close the remaining distance between the both of you.

This time the kiss lasted longer then just a few seconds.

I tried to bring variety and I found a lot of songs I listened to when I was younger I totally forgot about, I love music and most of all I love analyzing the lyrics, I feel I could write paragraphs upon paragraphs honestly I enjoy talking in depth about it very very much. And I didn’t put any here because I’m very particular about which ones, but I greatly enjoy classical music as well especially cello solos because I played the cello for years. The Elgar cello concerto is my favorite BUT, it’s a specific video I listen to always, I will find and link it somewhere.

Things I’m thinking with Skeleton Crew:

• we are on the hero’s journey and the kids have returned home with the “elixir” and it’s either their own experience (knowing the value of home) or, in an ironical manner, Jod

•Home is the secret treasure the adventure points them toward but there IS also something wrong with home. They have to learn to appreciate what they left behind (the extraordinariness of the seemingly ordinary, ie KB telling Wim I bet you thought it’d be more exciting to save someone’s life, or discovering that boring home being a secret treasure world), but Wim is also right to be disappointed things are going to go back to how they were, because we saw in the beginning things were uneasy. Something at home has to be unmasked and changed for the better. Some truths have to be spoken and some things fixed.

•Jod knows some truths the kids and the ordinary people on At Attin don’t which is the system they are living under is a fantasy, there IS no republic to get help from, there ARE no Jedi anymore, which could be the thing that unmasks whatever’s wrong with At-Attin

•Also I’m noting that the way Jod likely knows this is first hand (fits with his behavior up to this point)

•a lot of suspiciously automated things going on at At Attin so the supervisor is either a droid/automated (funny cause Jod’s demanded their presence and then said better than talking with a droid cause he says droids always betray you) or it’s an earlier pirate captain.

•Jod’s weapons have been a.thing that killed a pirate and b. Thing that killed Jedi shot in a way reminiscent of the times in killed them. He’s stuck in cycles!! Given he has some kind of obviously stunted/confused/incomplete background with the force it’s probable we know exactly what he’s stuck IN.

•He’s completely ready to ignore Wim’s pity ditty about adventures being scary and missing his home and dad until he mentions his mom not coming back and THAT’s what makes Jod go back and give him his seemingly serious speech that’s badly-catechized-Jedi talk. Very suspicious to me.

•the two things we know about Jod: he’s lost and he’s hungry.

•He’s insanely jealous to the point of cruelty when the kids parents message them to say they love them and can come home. Jealous!

��trying to call the pirate crew down there on the treasure world

•THE PIRATE TREASURE THE PIRATES ARE ALL AFTER IS HOME. THE TREASURE IS HOME. DO YOU GET IT.

•the adults still think the republic exists and an apparent republic emissary (Jedi) has returned their kids like they told the kids they should make happen and so the kids knowing Jod’s a liar can call him out and that will bring off the mask of At Attin as well

•home also has a really big gun at the top of the school Neel the pacifist learned about. We’re going somewhere with that

•that barrier? Probably coming down. The change would be home and the outside world being connected! They don’t have to forsake one or the other. They make it all home. And all adventure.

•same story as Love and Monsters??

•Not to speculate about real people but I read a George Lucas biography and Skeleton Crew is so full of all the contradictions of his childhood but pulled together and made sense of and it’s kind of insane and I love it and I know it’s not his story but I do wonder what he thinks of it. It’s a Good Star Wars

RARE OC TIME WITH PIRATE.

FORGET GOOD PERSON OC'S

I wanna hear about your unhinged villain OC's.

i'll go first--

When i was a bit younger, i created a webcomic that played with the idea of fictional worlds being real. I know, we've all done it here and there. I didn't have the arty skills to keep it going very far, but like, it played with the idea of those worlds being just out of reach of our dimension, but with the right push, say, from a pissy god tryina get back at its twin, could tumble through into the real, where the creators lived.

And one of these 'fictional' creations, was a character called Mallory.

Each 'fictional' creation i made for this comic, had their own backstories, including the type of person who originally CREATED their world, like... Tolkien, George R.R. Martin, Gene Roddenberry, George Lucas, someone created them, and it couldn't be me lmao so i had to make the people up too!

Mallory's world was made by someone with some serious small minded misogyny issues. I imagined that it'd have been some few hundred copies published horror novel that didn't get much traction.

Her kind were often culled at birth depending on biological sex, and their behaviours were determined by what biological sex they were.

If they were born men? Champions, powerful beings of light, Guardians. They gained their power from the SUN, from all sources of light but the sun gave them the most power, and they were good, pure souls in every way, good without any drive for evil. Probably wouldn't even get a parking ticket, would probably stand in a doorway holding doors open to let people go through first for hours, would put their coat on a wet floor to stop someone from getting their shoes wet.

They're good.

Only sleeping with one of these men could create another of their divided kind. They werent freaks of nature that could pop out at random, they were a separate race of humanoids that could breed with humans.

The women, were either killed at birth for a very valid reason, or snuck out by their human mothers.

Without fail, the second that child got her first period, she would be enveloped by darkness. Without any sign of turning before it, completely unpredictable.

A first period was basically sign of CONGRATS, YOU'RE NOW AN EVERCHANGING MONSTER, GO HAVE FUN ON YOUR MURDEROUS RAMPAGE ALMOST NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO STOP YOU.

Women were powerful, far more so than the men but their solitary nature and limited numbers guaranteed that eventually they would be overwhelmed. They gained power from the darkness, shadows, their forms constantly shifting like smoke. Rarely would they appear the same way twice.

They were always more powerful, because the darkness is just the absense of light, even during the day, there are shadows, there is darkness. There is always something stuck in the dark.

Their first kills would always be the mothers that snuck them away, always the mothers who hid them thinking their child would be different. Thinking their child could be saved if they simply raised her differently, gave her a chance.

These creatures have no redeeming qualities, they kill because it's fun, they enjoy it, they have no reason, no motivation, no painful backstory to explain their behaviour, they dont eat their kills, it's not a sustenance thing, they don't even care that their kind are culled at birth, it's irrelevant to them once matured.

They survived, why should they care about the girls who didn't?

She was never supposed to leave her dimension. That pissy god? made a very terrible mistake, and allowed her to slip through into the real, the original world filled with creators.

and they cant get her back home unless she goes willingly, because neither the god, or it's twin, have any power over the dark.

Sifki2024 Playlist

@sifkiweek Okay, so, I have never posted a playlist to Tumblr before, and I'm hoping this works right. If not, my apologies in advance.

This jumps all over in terms of time (they've been alive a thousand years plus, so there are a lot of valid options!), genre (Cole Porter to NIN to Dolly Parton to Springsteen), and connection (unhealthy relationship, childhood sweethearts, pining, madness, and a little nod to Sif as goddess of the harvest via Sting). I hope you enjoy it. :)

“Gone” – U2 You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy Then you get to like the way it feels. You hurt yourself you hurt your lover Then you discover What you thought was freedom is just greed.

“A Matter of Trust” – Billy Joel Some love is just a lie of the heart The cold remains of what began with a passionate start And they may not want it to end But it will it's just a question of when I've lived long enough to have learned The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned But that won't happen to us 'Cause it's always been a matter of trust

“Here You Come Again” – Dolly Parton Here you come again Just when I'm about to make it work without you You look into my eyes and light those dreamy eyes And pretty soon I'm wondering how I came to doubt you All you gotta do is smile that smile And there go all my defenses Just leave it up to you and in a little while You're messing up my mind and filling up my senses

“You’re So Vain” – Carly Simon You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive Well you said that we made such a pretty pair and that you would never leave But you gave away the things you loved And one of them was me

“Truly Madly Deeply” – Savage Garden I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need I'll love you more with every breath, truly, madly, deeply do

“Torn” – Natalie Imbruglia Well, you couldn’t be that man I adored. You don’t seem to know Seem to care what your heart is for But I don’t know him anymore. There’s nothing where he used to lie. My conversation has run dry. That’s what’s going on. Nothing’s fine, I’m torn, I’m all out of faith.

“Secret Garden” – Bruce Springsteen She’ll let you in her heart If you got a hammer and a vise, But into her secret garden, don’t think twice. You’ve gone a million miles, How far’d you get To that place that you can’t remember And you can’t forget?

“Something to Save” – George Michael We're moving further from heaven And closer to the deep blue sea 'Cause I have no secrets from you And I have nothing left to hide And I'm open to all your questions Why can't you reach inside like I have Like I have for you And all these games that you play Don't tell me how a man should be

“Come Undone” – Duran Duran Words, playing me deja vu Like a radio tune, I swear I've heard before Chill, is it something real? Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers Lost, in a snow filled sky We'll make it alright to come undone

“Fields of Gold” – Sting See the west wind move like a lover’s soul Upon the fields of barley Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth Among the fields of gold I never made promises lightly And there have been some that I've broken But I swear in the days still left We'll walk in fields of gold

“Found Out about You” – Gin Blossoms Is there a line that I could write That's sad enough to make you cry? And all the lines you wrote to me were lies Months roll past the love that you struck dead Did you love me only in my head?

“Possession” – Sarah McLachlan Through this world I stumble, So many times betrayed, Trying to find an honest word, To find the truth enslaved. You speak to me in riddles And you speak to me in rhymes. My body aches to breathe your breath, Your words keep me alive.

“Everything You Want” – Vertical Horizon You howl and listen, Listen and wait for the Echoes of angels who won't return. He's everything you want, He's everything you need, He's everything inside of you That you wish you could be. He says all the right things At exactly the right time, But he means nothing to you And you don't know why.

“Days of Wine and Roses” – Cassandra Wilson The days of wine and roses Laugh and run away Like a child at play Through a meadowland toward a closing door A door marked “nevermore” That wasn’t there before. The lonely night discloses Just a passing breeze Filled with memories Of the golden smile that introduced me to The days of wind and roses and you

“Night and Day” – Billie Holiday Night day you are the one Only you ‘neath the moon and under the sun. Whether near to me or far, It’s no matter, darling, where you are I think of you night and day.

“Two Princes” – Spin Doctors Marry him or marry me. I'm the one that loves you baby can't you see? I ain't got no future or a family tree, But I know what a prince and lover ought to be, I know what a prince and lover ought to be.

“The Sweetest Taboo�� - Sade If I tell you, if I tell you now Will you keep on, will you keep on loving me? If I tell you, if I tell you how I feel Will you keep on bringing out the best in? You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo.

Love calls, Duty echos ☠︎

(Chris Sturniolo)

(Chapter 1)

SUMMARY: Eleanor is a pirate captain, she was born on that ship and dedicated her whole life to that ship. One day they capture a navy guard who ends up being very well respected in the navy due to his family. They keep him for ransom. But what happens next when a pirate falls in love with a guy from the navy?.

(A/N: I still will finish my other fanfic I just had this idea and idk.. I need to write this asap. Also I love pirates. ALSO NO USE OF Y/N CBA TO WRITE THAT IM SORRYYY BUT JUST PRETEND UR ELEANOR OR SMTH 🙏🏼 just don’t skip this just bc it’s not y/n)

WARNINGS: mentions of blood, fighting swearing?? (Idk some ppl add this as a warning 😖🙏🏼)

Eleanor sat in her chair impatiently waiting for most of her crew to come back to the ship. Hopefully returning back safely with useful stuff they could later trade in another destination.

She looked at her map pinned against the wall infront of her already planning the travel they had in mind to Europe.

Suddenly she hears yells coming from outside the boat and she feels a soft shift. The boat was leaving quickly. Something probably went wrong.

She hears an unknown yell from outside it sounded younger then the rest of the people on board.

That’s what made her quickly stand up from her seat and quickly walk out of the cabin

When she opens the door to her shock she sees one of the guards from the navy being held at gun point

Before they could shoot the bulllet Eleanor yelled “hey!!!” Getting their attention.

“Don’t kill him. He’s from the navy right?” She looks the brunette guy up and down noticing his uniform

“We could use him for ransom.” She smirked

“Elena do you think they would care for a random guy in the navy? No. They’d shoot our boat down!” One of the older guys said.

“George he’s not just a guy from the navy.” She scoffs walking up to the navy guy.

“He’s from the leaders family. Sturniolo right?” She looks down at him

“Which one are you?” She asks. The guy didn’t give her a answer

“Answer me or that bullet goes through ur head.” She says

“Christopher.” He says hesitantly.

“The youngest.” She smirks “see? They will do anything to get him back safe and alive.” She looks up at George

“Well what should we do with him?” George asks.

“Tie him up. I’ll get the word out and after our next stop we’ll get our money”

“Fine but he’s your fucking responsibility”

An hour later Eleanor decided to visit Chris

She walks up to the edge of the ship where he was sitting

“So chris right?” She sits across him. He looks at her not saying a word “how’s the navy” she asks sarcastically

Chris scoffs “really?” He rolls his eyes looking away from her “hey. I saved your life navy boy” She reminds him.

“Yeah for money.” He says

“What you expect me to tell you I saved you because I found you cute or something? That I fell in love with you the moment I saw you? Yes of course for the fucking money mate.” She chuckles

“You should be thanking me instead. If I didn’t notice you yelling I probably wouldn’t even come out of the cabin and you’d be tossed in the sea.”

He looks at her again “how long am I gonna be tied up for?”

“Maybe when I trust you. Making sure you don’t jump off the ship or attack someone here.” She says

“I won’t. Look I’ve given up.”

Eleanor notices blood on his left arm his uniform being ripped apart

“Oh I didn’t notice that.” She looks at his arm

She felt bad for him. Not knowing the reason behind it, she never felt remorse for people outside the crew

“Let’s get you cleaned up.” She says hesitantly untying his hands immediately when she did she held his other arm firmly so he wouldn’t do anything stupid

Chris sat in his chair inside the cabin looking around.

Eleanor walked up to him with a soaked up cloth while she waits for Chris . Chris looks at her with confusion.

“Yeah I’m not using this cloth to wash your damn uniform am I?” Eleanor snaps at him

“Oh. Right” Chris said taking off his uniform leaving him in a tank top

Eleanor slowly puts the cloth on the injured part of his arm while Chris hisses “Don’t be a baby.” She said looking at him for a split second

“I don’t think water is gonna help much.” He says “well this is all we fucking got so trust the process and pray that it doesn’t get infected” she says sarcastically.

“What’s your name?” He asks

“Eleanor.”

“Ellie. I like that name.” He smiles gently

She flinch moving the cloth away from the wound. She’s surprised no one ever called her Ellie, she didn’t know if she liked it or not. But it sounded soft.

She notices Chris staring down at her and she quickly started cleaning the wound

“Don’t call me that.” She said firmly “why not?” He asked

“Nobody calls me Ellie.”

“Well I’ll be the first”

How/where do I find original Veggietales stuff?

hahahah

well i have a few VHS/DVDs of the best ones. I want you to know that it's super episodic, and outside of the kitchen counter intro/outro you REALLY don't have to watch the whole thing like a show. They work better as independent short films anyway.

(Side bar, they function like The Muppets, how each character is an actor putting on a show btw)

If you REALLY wanna see the whole thing, that surely would be a choice. There are 57 episodes of the original run as outlined here, and you can watch most of them here.

The "Where's God When I'm Scared" is the very first episode, and was early 90's animation so be gentle. The writing was also SUPER heavy handed, but it's the intro to the show. Also, Larry's lisp is the best part because they tone it down over time and that makes me a bit sad. So watch this one for Larry's uncensored lisp

Skip forward to Rack, Shack, and Benny. Still not peak veggies, but makes up for it with the Bunny Song, which WILL become your new vocal stim.

Dave and the Giant Pickle is tied for my FAVORITE episode. It introduces Larry Boy, which is important if you want to watch the LB episodes (i'm not a fan of them tbh). It also had THE BEST Silly Song (Lip Song my beloved) and overall one of the better soundtracks. Truly the height of christian vegetables. Me and my siblings to recite this episode word for word while doing chores. I can still quote it on command.

I Do Not Like The Toy That Saved Christmas, but it DOES introduce you more fully to how Mr. Nezzar is Larry's rich uncle and how their dynamic usually plays out.

Then you can jump forward to King George and the Ducky (I know Josh and the Big Wall/Madam Blueberry are classics, but they aren't my vibe so that's up to your discretion). Kinda a messed up way to tell about Kind David, but tbh it slaps, sorry.

Then Esther the Girl Who Became Queen was probably the first serious story they produced with the veggies. The tone is almost serious, and even kinda dark if they hadn't been so afraid to acknowledge the concept of death. Doesn't even have a silly song.

Then skip ahead to the Ballad of Little Joe which is my OTHER favorite. ALSO has one of the best silly songs (Belly Button song my beloved). One of my favorite tellings of the story of Joseph, possibly because i also just really love westerns.

Watch A Snoodle's Tale, because Dr. Seuss vibes.

I haven't seen any of the Minnesota Cuke episodes, but like,, it's clearly Indiana Jones vibes so investigate at your own curiosity.

Lord of the Beans is also EXTREMELY high up there. I make Sporks references extremely often, and I want you to understand meeeee.

The Wonderful Wizard of Has is also really fun, and it was one of the most visually polished episodes. Also, the silly song was super fun.

and OBVIOUSLY you have to watch Jonah: A veggietales movie, then The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. Both of which had major roles in shaping my sense of humor.

There is also the For TV version, where they played the exact same episode but swapped out the opening so it was at Bob and Larry's house (they live together?!?!?!) instead of their studio, ie the kitchen counter. And I would kill to get my hands on that version of the show.

Also there is one fabled episode where Bob and Larry spend the opening fighting with being stuck in the sink, but I have no idea which one it is.

Anyway, this is probably more than you asked for and I probably sound derange but for real this goddamn show was responsible for forming my brain so it's just forever a part of my life. EDIT: Saberspark did a great breakdown on the history of Veggietales and wtf happened and a followup video

[cdreambur]

au where dream is a privateer and wilbur is a pirate.

they have an ongoing rivalry, dream believing himself to be better because of his permit from the crown while wilbur doesn't see dream as a real raider because of his protection from the royals.

the two of them and their crews often clash with each other since they sail in the same waters and sometimes target the same ships.

insults, banter, and fights between them are common.

but one day, dream arrives at the castle to report back to the king and collect his payment and finds the court in an excited flurry, whispers surrounding him everywhere he goes.

he asks one of the servants about it after his audience with the king, breath hitching when the young man answers, "they've captured captain soot."

that night, dream returns to his ship with a sinking feeling in his stomach that he can't quite explain.

over the next weeks, he goes about his business like usual, sailing through the familiar sea and hijacking ships from the enemies.

something feels off though.

there's no rival crew to fight them for the attack, no brown coat fluttering in the wind, no sassy remarks when dream and his friends transport their loot over to their ship.

and dream admits to himself that maybe, he liked wilbur a lot more than he wanted to.

during his next visit to the castle, he keeps his ears open, learning that wilbur's being held in one of the torture chambers below the dungeon.

something about the words makes his heart twist painfully.

in the end, he asks his crew for help, all of them surprisingly willing to save wilbur.

with their help, dream has no problem breaking in and getting the keys from the body of an unconscious guard, leaving his quartermaster and best friend, sapnap, on look-out while he slips down to the chambers.

it's dark and wet, the air thick and stuffy. only one door in the corridor is closed, and dream has to try four keys before he finally finds the right one.

what he finds on the other side almost makes him throw up.

wilbur's lying on the dirty floor, his back torn up and bloody. there are chains around his wrists, and dream can see the bruising underneath them, blue and green and black. his usually fluffy brown curls are tangled and soaked with sweat and blood, and when dream steps closer, he can see cuts and burn marks all over wilbur's arms.

he reaches out, wanting to unlock the chains, but when his fingers brush wilbur's, the brunet flinches violently, a sob echoing through the room.

"please, no, no more. please, i can't- please."

dream's heart breaks at the desperate words, and he swallows before he finally whispers, "i- it's dream. wil, i'm here to help you, i promise, please just let me help you."

finally, wilbur looks at him.

it's gut-wrenching, brown eyes that used to be warm and twinkling with mischief now dull and devastatingly empty.

but there's recognition shimmering in them, and when dream reaches out the next time, wilbur stays still, allowing him to open the lock and tug the metal away from wilbur's wrists.

getting him up and out of the cell is a slow process, but in the end, they make it back up to the rest of the crew and together, they return to the smp in the last remains of darkness.

as their resident doctors, karl and bad are tasked with taking care of wilbur's countless injuries, and despite dream's protests, the two of them kick everyone out of the captain's quarters.

it's only in the evening that dream's allowed back, finding wilbur bandaged up and mostly awake in his bed.

they talk for a long time. about what happened, how they can find wilbur's ship and crew. about their families and their friends and why the sea makes them happy.

they fall asleep next to each other, wilbur's hand carefully held in dream's own.

two days later, they find the l'manberg in the hidden cave wilbur described to them, and the reunion between the captain and his crew even makes george cry.

dream and his crew come to the unanimous decision to stay.

that night, dream burns his permit from the king before stepping up to the bow of the ship, joining his new captain.

hey scoops!! I just wanted to tell you that the anxiety that your Dream in your pirate au felt towards George getting too familiar with sapnap and possibly wanting him hits so hard for me. because, yeah, I feel that too sometimes. I don't dislike snf but I still share the anxiety with capitan Dream... does that make sense? I just feel like you hit the nail in the head portraying anxiety present in this fandom...

Hey, I'm glad you liked that aspect of it. I think jealousy/envy is pretty natural in this context. Even platonically, like, until you've established your relationship, friendship, whatever--it can be natural to feel worried -- just as long as you don't let those feelings grow unhealthy

IRL Dreamteam are definitely established enough that i doubt they feel much jealousy these days, at least over stuff like that

As for my own anxiety, I'm glad George and Sapnap have a friendship together and they get out and do stuff. I think the less we see of Dream and George, the more real it gets in my mind, like they're saving their friendship for themselves only and not sharing. I wish they would share, but I get it.

[ahsoka-in-a-hood]

Shmi couldn't sell Anakin's pod-racer because she as a slave couldn't own or sell property.

Honestly, I think George should have just had the Jedi buy Shmi's freedom, relocate her to Dantooine or something and then Palps just arranges her murder by pirates or something to hurt Anakin. It would accomplish the same thing and would have gone a long way in diminishing the "Jedi are pro-slavery" myth.

Qui Gon sold the pod and gave the money directly to Anakin who gave it to Shmi. They left her with a bag of money. (and a bankrupted owner who bet on the wrong pod) Soon after her freedom is bought- if that bag of money wasn't part of it, she still would have had it afterward. That's what we know happened. From there I could speculate that she already knew Cliegg but he couldn't afford the both of them, or something like that. But Anakin's pod money must have been useful to her in some way!

Maybe lucas should have, idk. The whole business of buying a slave's freedom is interesting on a meta level because it's an easy way to help the individual in question but a shit way to dismantle slavery as an institution since it contributes to the problem. It's good business for slavers and incentivizes them to enslave more people. So you sort of end up with a metaphor for helping the most people vs taking care of your loved ones first.

Ideally you find a way to 'steal' them (which is almost what Qui Gon does, first by trying mind tricks and then using gambling as his legal tender which gets borderline tricksy and definitely leaves Watto poorer) But the bomb chips make any kind of illegal liberation very difficult. There's no point freeing someone if they're just going to blow up. And I know Tatooine can come off as sort of lawless but i'd say that's deceptive- the presence of casual violence doesn't mean a slavery isn't enforced at a state level. (slavery requires quite a bit of enforcement) Watto is quick to back off when Qui Gon mentions hutt justice after he challenged Qui Gon's claim to anakin.

Giving her Anakin's earnings, and her buying (indirectly) her freedom soon after, would also sort of fit the theme of jedi playing support rather than hero- it helps her, but in a giving her the tools to help herself sort of way, which seems to often be how jedi operate. So I don't hate that.

I sometimes headcanon that the republic's anti-slavery laws include it being illegal for a republic citizen to purchase a slave, even if you then free them. Idk.

And for that alternative version you mention to accomplish the same effect... again, idk. He still could have gone off the rails at her death it's true, but the story with Shmi in the movies to me kind of adds a depth to his feeling that he has to choose between the jedi and his other family, you know? Like, he felt like he abandoned her by choosing the jedi and that's why she's dead. (I'm not saying that's a logical feeling but it's a feeling). So then when Palpatine convinces him that the only way to save padme is to betray the jedi, it has a sort of echo to it.

Something along those lines, anyway.

Princess Glimmer and the Day of Many Choices: The Horde are pirates now (18/?)

"Yar, motherfuckers," Lonnie said and stomped off, towards the harbour.

"Growl," Rogelio said

"Yo-ho-ho," Kyle shily said and quickly ran after the other two.

"Motherfuckers, motherfuckers," Imp - wearing an eyepatch - happily cried and flew after the rest of the group.

The crowd looked after them in thoughtful silence.

"Dads..." Bow said with low voice.

"Yes Bow?" Lance asked.

"Historically speaking," Bow went on, still looking after the former horde soldiers. "If the largest army in the world suddenly become leaderless and turn to piracy, is that a problem...?"

"A bit of a problem, yes," Lance answered, voice strained.

"What will the princesses do to protect us from pirate raids?" The mayor of one of the costal towns cried.

"Sorry, we are busy dismantling our crystal palaces," Frosta said with snippy voice.

"Now, while a modernization of the political structure of Etheria is needed," the mayor said, swetting profusely, "we need to carefully consider the intricasies of..."

"You have convinced me," Glimmer quickly said. "Power to the people. We will set up a committé to outline the process that will be used to organize the power transition process."

"A comitée?!" George and Lance gasped, stars in their eyes.

"Class traitors," Swift Wind hissed. "Bourgeoisie scum. I will not let you bog down the glorious revolutionary movement. I'm starting a splinter group."

"DID SOMEONE SAY SWIFT WIND?" Sea Hawk and Bow yelled as Swift Wind flew off.

"Uuuuuuuuuuugh," Mermista said. "Fine, I'll sort it out."

"Of course the princess alliance will..." Glimmer begun.

"Not you," Mermista interrupted with an eyeroll. Me. They are all pirates now, right? That means they are citizens of Salineas."

"It does?" Perfuma asked in confusion.

"Well, duh," Mermista said with an eye-roll. "Salineas rules the sea and all that, but newsflash, blondie, we are ALL pirates,"

"Not all of you," Catra said voice full of self loathing.

"Obviously not all of us," Mermista sighed. "That's why we have the sea gate. The pirates all backstab each other, and everyone who don't want to play those games hide behind the sea gate. We 'tax' the coastal times to a reasonable amount and the princess" - she gestured to herself - "keeps everyone in line. So, there. the Horde is now integrated in the civic structure of the kingdom of Salineas. Everything's in order."

"But you can't keep control over all of the Horde-turned-pirates," George objected.

"Of course I can," Mermista shrugged. "I'm awesome. But anyway... I don't have to keep order..."

She held out her hand. A silver trident formed. She looked expectantly at Scorpia.

"Oh... sorry," Scorpia said and blushed. She held up a claw and a simply bitchin' electric guitar solo was heard.

"Thanks," Mermista said. Golden sparks formed all around her. She spun around three times and turned into...

"Sea-Ra, defender of the ocean," Sea Hawk gasped.

"....wow," Bow gasped, trying and failing not to stare at her boobs.

Glimmer watched Despara with a raised eyebrow.

"What?" Despara said. "If I hadn't opened the Heart of Etheria for her, people would have asked me to sort it out."

"I'm so proud of you for not trying to do everything yourself," Glimmer said with heartfelt voice.

"All right, I'm off to save the day or whatever," Sea-Ra said with bored voice. "Get over here, idiot."

"I think this this occasion calls for a soooooong!" Sea Hawk begun.

"No, it doesn't," Sea-Ra interrupted. She looked at Bow.

"You're coming, or what? Wanna have some 'adventure' with me and the idiot here?"

G Gundam meta notes, eps 21-24:

"The Final Battle Approaches! Only 3 Days Away"

-the Shuffle Alliance links!! More of this please!

-the reveal of all of them skulking around waiting for Domon is hysterical

-they're all connected through the crests!!

-okay George, you're here to protect Rain from beasts, that's,,, almost convincing coming from you

-Chibodee, on the other hand, who the hell are you trying to convince? You were just openly talking about why you were there, and now you're shooting off some crap about how you should just leave, okay. And followed with the defeated mumble "nothing but time on my hands", good job

-magical girl Schwarz Bruder Mark II, appearing out of the water

-"what is this feeling?" No offense, but you're historically not good at knowing your feelings anyway, why is this one a surprise

-I know narratively this is supposed to be a setup for the romance, but why would Domon be surprised that Rain is important to him?

-why was Rain sleeping in the cockpit??

-Chibodee taking charge under pressure, I can dig it

-"there's one more important person waiting" wait a minute. He can't be talking about Rain, because she's right there. Did he mean… did Domon tell them about his dad?

-Domon being so concerned with keeping the others out of "his" problem is sweet

"Breakthrough! Warriors Strong Ties”

-I fucking love Nastasha calling the shots in the group

-Schwarz too

-”I'm feeling much better” Rain says, struggling to stand upright

-”not doing this for you or anything” OH MY GOD CHIBODEE YOU FUCKING TSUNDERE WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO CONVINCE

-"I'll help too"/"I know you will" something about this tweaks my heart a little, but of course I take to an A/N moment

-interesting, later on Domon is said to have an “obedient nature”, but here Rain suggests he's “the least obedient” of them

-”they're he-ere” Chibodee dropping movie references is kind of charming

-both Argo having tactical expertise from his pirating and George admiring it is super interesting

-Domon is actually quite empathetic when he's paying attention. Pity he doesn't do that much

-if D/R had more scenes like this, I,,, would still probably prefer to explore the friendship, but I'd understand the romance more

-you fucking tell that guy, Nastasha! Make getting out of there sound cowardly instead of the cutthroat crap Neo Russia would normally love!

-"what’s with the guy in the stupid mask" Sai saying the quiet part out loud

-nice pirouette, Schwarz, you have dance training?

-oh my God seriously let me just get feral about Nastasha backing up her nobility with clear-headed logic, both in general as part of her character arc and in contrast to a cast full of Honor Before Reason

-”staying behind to ensure your friends’ safe passage tells me your head’s not quite right” ah, Master probably filled Domon's head with plenty of this anti-human connection crap while raising him

-we might wonder why the fuck Domon doesn't even think about making it to the finals, but like,,, not only is this a more personal flight, the Gundam Fight was never something he wanted in the first place

"Destined Battle! Domon vs. Devil Gundam”

-oh, announcing yourself with a throwing weapon to save the hero, you're Tuxedo Schwarz this time

-"I DON'T DESERVE TO HAVE YOU LAUGHING AT ME" I mean,,, you're right, Domon, and that's partly why I've got such a soft spot for you, you don't deserve half the crap you go through

-Schwarz is kinda hot when he's bloody

-SUPER SAIYAN DOMON

-so the “serene state of mind” is weaponized hyperfocus, yes? Teach me that secret, Domon!

-i love that it gives the audience just enough that even if we do figure out the identity we have the new mystery of why and how

"Bright New Star! The Birth of the God Gundam”

-Argo being the optimist, damn!

-Nastasha keeps up on Gundam engineers/is familiar with Mikamura's work? That's pretty cool

-oooh, all right, Domon has given lip service to the whole "you're no longer my master" thing before, but seeing him actually talk back is cathartic

-Shining Gundam is bleeding!

-okay, experimental brain wave transmitter, very cool, needs more use in fic maybe, but also like,,, scifi contrast to Shuffle magic

-and a continuation of Dr Mikamura’s work with emotion-powered science

-"I've never thought so dearly of you as I do now" you mean not until you found out he thought fondly of you? Hmmm. Food for thought.

-now George is optimistic, and interestingly Chibodee is consistently struggling to stay positive. (Though I guess that tendency goes all the way back to his first appearance, the whole "might as well finish me now" thing - looks like being a "star of hope" actually takes some effort for him! Hope is a choice, and not always an easy one! This is so interesting!)

-hee, the gals helping Rain through her post-reunion overwhelm <3
