#Sniper Series

Fic Update: Here, Chapter Three

Chapter Snippet:

“Lance,” he spoke quietly, “do you recall what I told you back in the infirmary? I will never,” he stepped forward and Sniper tensed as one of his hands went to rest on the glass dome, “hurt you. And that extends to your food and beverages, lad. It is safe to consume, I promise.”

Sniper’s eyes widened as he realized Sorcerer was telling him, confirming to him, that the items were not poisoned.

The thought hadn’t even crossed his mind.

And he realized, stomach clenching unrelated to hunger, that was because something told him he’d known that.

And why had he known that?

But…

He swallowed again.

That wasn’t what stopped him. 

“All right,” Sorcerer said quietly, his hand lowering. 

Sniper bit his tongue to keep the whimper and the words inside.

“Lance,” Yellow stepped forward then, “hermano,” and Sniper tried not to start at the word, at the concern practically radiating off this enemy, “You need water. Please. Just a sip.”

Sniper trembled.

It was so close.

Please.

Just…

Just tell him to—

“Drink.”

Sorcerer issued the command, a trembling note to the word.

Sniper couldn’t dwell on the delivery though, on what it meant, as his feet were disentangling from the blanket and he was practically stumbling for the glass at the permission.

And while the water was now room temperature it didn’t matter.

Sniper drained the glass in three gulps.

He lowered the empty glass a moment later to see three pairs of wide, horrified eyes looking at him and for reasons he couldn’t explain he could feel the barest trace of heat starting to form on his cheeks.

He’d followed the order, he’d obeyed.

So why… why did it make him feel like this? 

“What the fuck,” Green broke the silence, her voice the same tremble of Sorcerer’s. “What the actual fuck?”

Why does everyone on the internet have a fetish for their crushes smelling bad

Why would wanna fuck someone who smells like shit

First off have the balls to not be anonymous second it's not that I actively search for people who "smell like shit" I just so happen to like characters who LOOK like they smell like shit but you know what? These characters aren't real. And they never will be. So what's your problem? They might not even smell bad who knows? No one knows. Again they AREN'T REAL. you're a bully behind a screen get a life

Also you're on fucking Tumblr the freakiest website on the PLANET what did you expect LMAOOO you're gonna find some crazier shit than this so I wouldn't get butt hurt over this when there is so much worse stuff on here

Fic Update: Here, Chapter Eleven

Chapter Eleven Snippet:

“What are you thinking, lad?” Coran asked gently. 

And whether it was a history of knowing lying was pointless as Mistress would get her answer regardless or he desperately needed to get the words out or maybe a little bit of both, Lance whispered out the truth.

“That I should have been able to stop them.”

“And you did.”

Lance’s head snapped up, denial on his lips. 

“You fought back, Lance,” Coran spoke before he could. “You know that you did. Those scars,” Lance twitched, “did not just appear upon you. They are a testament to how hard you fought, how brave you were, how much you resisted. You fought not just pain and suffering and depravity, but you fought against a Druid’s magic and that is no small feat. And if those marks are not proof enough, then know this. You have been gone for nearly a deca-phoeb, a year in your Earth standards. But the killings we could attribute to you… they did not start until six months ago. That is because you, Lance,” Coran squeezed him, “resisted for so long.”

Lance shook his head. “I failed,” he whispered.

“I daresay all of us would have,” Coran said quietly. 

Lance’s eyes widened.

What?

“The circumstances you were placed in were not ones that allowed for your success. Every odd was stacked upon you, every scale tipped in the wrong direction, and failure was guaranteed. Tell me, would you think any less of anyone here if they had been in your situation and forced to kill as you did? If they had been tortured and abused and had been coerced and cajoled and ultimately convinced to assist the enemy and believe it was right? Would you blame them?”

Lance knew the answer immediately.

No.

Of course not.

“That is your answer, Lance,” Coran said gently. “Do not cast blame upon yourself where you would not cast it upon another who suffered as you have. You are not at fault, my boy. And this guilt and shame you shoulder, these feelings of weakness and failure… let them go. They are not yours to carry nor your burden to bear.”

On the subject of thieving ratlings, this year's Boxing Day(?) mini finally answers the question we've all been asking.

No, the commissar does not know about second breakfast.

Nor does he know about the disappearances from the officers' mess.

I need anyone who genuinely dislikes Usopp to take a long look in the mirror because yeah, he can be a bit annoying at times but he is honestly a good and interesting character!!

He is just as loyal as any other member of the crew and fights the strongest when he’s fighting on someone else’s behalf. (See: him fighting for Sanji in Skypeia, fighting for Robin at Eneis Lobby, fighting for Luffy in Dressrosa, fighting for Tama and Nami in Wano.) He is a major player in so many of the battles in the series that it baffles me that people can think of him as an unimportant member of the crew.

And Usopp is a fucking genius??? Hello???? He’s able to make weapons powerful enough to create storms and tornadoes. He is canonically a jack-of-all trades that supports the crew in their daily lives and in battle. The Going Merry only lasted as long as she did because Usopp was around to care for her. He was the only one to see her Klabauterman!! Usopp is not only creative and fun but is able to bring those creations to life, whether it be his drawings or his gadgets, and I think that’s so beautiful. I miss pre-TS because of all his inventions we got to see.

Let’s not forget that Usopp is so, so kind!! He made friends with the kids in his village and told stories to Kaya to help her feel better when she was ill. He fought to protect her and Syrup Village from Kuro. Personally, I will never get over filler ep on Fireworks Island (ep. 134) where he cheered up Kodoma and encouraged her to continue her pyrotechnics, assuring that her parents were proud of her. Knowing he also lost his parents at a young age makes the scene hit that much harder. (And again, he showed his genius by figuring out a way to launch the firework that killed Kodoma’s parents!!) It may not be canon to the manga but but I think that episode is super accurate to his character.

What I think makes him the most interesting is that we see his flaws and mistakes more than any of the other Straw Hats. We see his insecurities in Water 7 and his fear in Dressrosa. But we also see him growing and learning and being encouraged by his crewmates. Aside from Robin, I think Usopp has changed and grown the most out of the Straw Hats. With his goal to become a brave warrior of the sea he has so much potential for even more growth!!

Like I said earlier, some people think Usopp is annoying which he can be sometimes, but that’s also because he’s literally comic relief. And he does so well at it bc he’s actually so damn funny?? He makes me laugh out loud all the time. One Piece wouldn’t be even half as funny without Usopp.

I also appreciate that as an individual he has so many moments with the other Straw Hats. There are a lot of relationships that don’t get explored as much as we’d like, but I think we get to see Usopp’s friendships with the crew pretty often. He fights for Luffy, plays around with Chopper, teases Zoro, is teased by Robin, gossips with Nami, hangs around Sanji, and his whole relationship with Franky has so many layers to it.

Aaahh, I have so many hopes for Usopp in the series that I pray will be fulfilled!! I want him to have a badass arc in Elbaf full of character growth. I want to see him develop and continue to use his Haki (which he gained when trying to save Luffy are you KIDDING me). I want his reunion with Yasopp to be emotional and bittersweet. If he could personally beat Yasopp in a fight I would ascend to the heavens.

Usopp is such an important, complex, and interesting character and I absolutely hate to see him reduced to being a gag character or the weakest member of the Straw Hats. He may not be a monster but he is amazing and I love him.

TLDR; if you disrespect Usopp I wish you a very Die.
