gisèlerosebooks first time being on any device since my trip with my favourite person ended. the love on collided continues to amaze me, and i'm so extremely honoured to continuously receive so much love from not only the reading community, but many of the formula 1 faithful as well. this is NOT the end of the journey, either. for now, let the formula 1 season begin... and maybe find me at a race or two? 🤭

The Crab Dance Prompt List

Please check the updated character list on my pinned post to see who I am writing for before submitting a prompt!

Also read the rules and do not forget to put the entire prompt into your ask!

I saw you downtown kissing another man

But we don't say forever, but when we're together

I fell in love with I looked over and saw her singing to the radio

And all them other boys say she's a goodbye girl

Honey, dance with me in this bar tonight

I��m the boy that’s always been in love with you til the end

Don’t mind the strain of a hurricane, they come around every June

You were hitchhiking on an old dirt road

Nobody taught her it takes a lot of water to wash away New Orleans

It 3am Im overthinking again

Why do I still give a damn about you

Yeah, I ain't tryna fix her I just wanna kiss her

Sitting on the front porch with a cigarette burning

Baby you look hotter than west Texas sunshine

She never wanted to be white picket fenced in

Looking out through my window Watching the snowflakes fall

Remember all the nights we had?

But here she is, free, layin' next to me 'Cause I ain't tryna to tame her love

I'm terrified of being alone, so I've been seeking out affection

You once called me forever, now you still can't call me back

Staring out at the sunset With you by my side

There's moments in life that I regret Like never holding you close

And I'll dream each night of some version of you That I might not have, but I did not lose

You promised me I was more than all the miles combined

Wake up again in an old motel

One day you wake up, he’s packing up his truck

Why can’t I move on  and give a fair chance to someone new.

And leave before the mornin' sun

And I'm missing you like hell

He stays for the night but hes gone by the morning

Go on tell me what you really feel, because I’ve been dying to know.

And I know you have gone with her and I can't go back home

She ain't living for a diamond ring

I keep the windows down and the wind in her hair

So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad

We're burnin' it down Blazin' up a trail of smoke

Why can’t I find a way to forget being in love with you

I said "I love you" but I, I never even meant it,

No, I am no longer funny, 'cause I miss the way you laugh

Wherever we are, wherever we go Yeah, that's where she calls home

Just looking for somebody as wild as her

It’s clear that we were meant to be.

It's getting cold but that sun is cresting

And I recall what she said That she wanted me dead But there ain't no grave deep enough

You don’t want to know what he said about you

My other half was you I hope this pain's just passin' through

And I know your daddy wants to shoot me dead

And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim

Should've left me at the door, but you let me in And now, your heart is on the floor

I put up a fight because I can’t stand the sight of his hands touching you

Too many different women in my phone

You aint opposed to digging up old bones and raking over the pas

Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't facet.

I'm sorry, baby, I'm a liar How is it possible to love someone else if I can't even love myself?

It’s a little piece of heaven when we lay down at night

She keeps on loving me and I keep on wondering why.

Love letters written in the dead of night

You must have had yourself a change of heart like Halfway through the drive

But I took her heart, and then I ripped it in half This ain't the first time I've done this neither

For the fanfic ask meme: 1, 3, 7, 19, 22!

hi hello sorry for the delay i had classes until 7pm yesterday, many such cases

1. What was your first fic and could you stand to reread it today?

i believe it was a self insert team crafted fanfic, and god no absolutely not, the only reason it hasnt been razed from the internet is bc im lazy and dont remember my wattpad login

3. In your opinion, what’s your best fic?

a queens thief god/follower smut fic that i wrote for the very first weird the tag challenge! it was really fun to write and is still fun to reread, this fandom needs more of this genre of porn and by god i will be the pioneer

7. What’s the fic you most want to continue (unfinished or no)?

if we're talking things ive started, theres a lymond chronicles fic i have partially done thats all missing scenes of will and lymond spending time together that by god i will finish one day i swear because we are starved for content over here and i need to release my brainworms into the world. however if we're talking like, conceptually, i have this idea for a marielda timeloop fic from the twins' pov where the only way to end the timeloop is to let events play out how they did in canon, with one of them not being in the know and samothes dying etc, i am so intimidated by trying to write a longfic with real plot and chapters so its been wasting away in my head but GOD it would be so good if i could just WRITE IT

19. If you had to pick one fic/scene/chapter of your work to describe your entire portfolio to a stranger, which would you pick?

this question is the hardest for me to think of an answer to tbh, especially since i dont post like 90% of what i write. honestly either the aforementioned queens thief smut or a mission impossible fic i wrote that firmly establishes both a trans and disabled ethan agenda, bc i think it has some good prose and really sets up what im about (transgendering and disabling my favorite characters)

22. Has there ever been anyone who’s made you freak out because they read your work and followed/favorited/reviewed?

no one famous, really, although my mission impossible fic got a tumblr like from an author i recognized and had read before which was exciting! but like, i truly get this reaction the most about a dear friend of mine, gav, who i love a whole lot both as a friend and a writer so im really flattered any time they read and comment on my stuff!

[angelwolf985]

finished watching supernatural s1-15 in 3 months! here are my opinions on the finale!

(warning: probably unintelligible, and very ranty) (+ obvious spoiler warning)

episode 18 was fuckin emaculate. genuinly. it was amazing. the one thing i didnt like about it was how it jumped about, same with 19.( i dont blame them for it tho, it makes sense with the story, i just didnt really love it.) 19 was good for the most part and served as a decent ending but was missing castiel and eileen (mention + presence) which sucked but what can you expect yk,,

episode 20. i have. so many issues with episode 20. WHY DID THEY EVEN????? LIKE TWO MENTIONS OF CAS, NO MENTION OF EILEEN, DEAN FUCKING DIEING, SAMS WIG, ???HEAVEN BEING LACKLUSTER???? it was so. just disappointing. cuz it could've been great. the end part of 20 was the only good part (jared and jensen signing off of the show). the show should've ended on 19 tbh. thats how im seeing it anyway. in my mind thats where it ended, but like, with cas and eileen back.

what i really disliked:

deans death. im pretty sure everyone hated that. and the whole like thing of him dying was really,, sorta,, weird? like; why did it go on so long?? did it happen bc he doesnt have god given plot armor anymore or was it just cuz?did jack see it? how did he feel about it? did he care or did he be all omniscient because he became god?? how did he survive that long? logistically? there was a fucking rusty rebar thing IN HIS SPINE (or like RIGHT NEXT TO IT??). WOULD THAT NOT?? PARALYZE?? OR WORSE???. and, im sorry, but i hated the forehead touch. it felt weird man. i get that they were close but,, not that close? even when they were more unhealthily codependent they wouldn't have done that. i think so anyway. i dunno. also. DEAN HAS SHOWN MULTIPLE TIMES AND IM SURE THE WRITERS WERE OVERTLY AWARE THAT DEAN DID NOT WANT TO DIE ON THE JOB. HE WANTED TO RETIRE WITH SAM AND CAS. ALWAYS WANTED THAT. he often said shit like "we're gonna die on the job, draw the short stick, thats just how it is, how its gonna end for us." (mixing quotes from the top of my head so, not exact) which he clearly thought would happen because pessimism but he NEVER wanted that. for HIMSELF or SAM. dean dying in this episode IS A CRITICAL DISSERVICE TO HIS CHARACTER.

sams mystery wife and (non mystery) child. BLURRY FACE WIFE. WHY IS SHE. WHY. also- how did he recover (seemingly) so quickly? i mean- if he really believed dean was gone FOREVER. when death hasnt meant forever in forever, how would he be so okay? idk. also, idk why, but sam having a kid seems very bizzare. could just be me. also. where tf is eileen. is she the blurry face wife? why would they do that if yes? (could be a load or reasons, either way they couldve like, said it was eileen, if it was supposed to,, idk,,,)

one or two mentions of castiel. did the writers just forget his CHARACTER IMPORTANCE?!?!? HES SO IMPORTANT TO THE STORY??? HE GRIPPED DEAN TIGHT AND RAISED HIM FROM PERDITION. HE LOVED DEAN. DEAN (INARGUABLY) LOVED HIM BACK. he (castiel) deserved SO. much better. my friend who has watched spn since she was a baby AGREES WITH ME. i GRRR I GRR I GRRR!!!! cas not being in this episode is such an aggravating disservice to his character. he deserved more. the fans deserved more.

alright im done ranting now. may add more on later. im gonna go rewatch the show and read fix it fics.

Get to Know Me - Sims Style

i was tagged by @amuhav because she loves me and knows i love doing these things

what's your favourite sims death?

ngl i dont actually have one, im terrified of any of my babies dying so they never do...but i guess old age maybe? because that means theyve lived a long life and ive played with them for a long time?

alpha cc or mm?

alpha HANDS DOWN...i dont hate mm by any means dont get me wrong, but ill always be an alpha girl at heart. its the alpha hairs, they always get me.

do you cheat your sims weight?

only if it fits their character i guess? not usually in gameplay.

do you move objects

i move objects every single day.

fave mod?

ooofff i mean out of necessity? nraas. but just the one i love? hands down pose player. mostly because i was so excited when i finally got it to work (i was like 13 or something and before then i could not figure out how to get mods to work) so a lot of happy memories from finally getting my sims to pose.

first expansion/game pack/stuff pack?

my first ever was sims 2 glamour life stuff pack when i was a kid. if we're talking sims 3, i believe the first pack i got was generations, which is still my favourite sims pack ever.

do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing?

i pronounce it LIVE, always have as far as i know.

who's your favourite sim that you've made?

well, its gotta be elodie honestly. she and eli are the longest sims i have ever had and i love them both dearly. in the sims 4, its gotta be my girl pippa. before tumblr? i had this family called the moretti's, i miss them and i think about them way too often. i loved them all.

have you made a simself?

oh yeah. loads of times. i think ive shared my sims 3 and sims 4 variations on tumblr (but they look really weird tbh). i love making myself, cause then i can wear all these clothes i cant afford in real life.

favourite ea hair

im with aimee on this one.

im mostly joking, but usually sims 3 hairs are a no go for me, except for some store ones and the hairs that are pulled back into buns always look really nice. for sims 4, only the newer ones. the older ones are not for me.

favourite life stage?

young adult. i feel like you can always do more with young adult sims and you have so much more time (except in sims 1 i believe?and sims 2 only if u went to uni?? idk). 90% of my sims are forever young adults because i love that life stage so much.

are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?

mate ive been trying to build for donkeys years to no avail. so im almost always in it for the gameplay.

are you a cc creator?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BAHAHAHA HA once upon a time bro maybe. your girl tries to be, but uni is a pain in my bottom, and sims 3 loves making my life difficult.

do you have any simblr friends or a sim squad?

somehow i do?? more friends then irl anyway. the girl gang is @thesimperiuscurse , @lazysunjade & @amuhav these 3 have put up with me despite my crazy personality for an incredibly amount of time and i love them all dearly. but i have so many friends on here its crazy (more than 3 people its incredible!). obviously they havent seen my real personality yet. besties include: @catharsim , @plumbobem , @johziii , @rollo-rolls , @moonsonnet , oh gosh im forgetting people I AM SO SORRY I LOVE U ALL SO MUCH

do you have any sims merch?

bro i wish, but no money. spent it all on anno 1800. no regrets.

do you have a youtube for sims?

i believe formally i do, but i dont post anything. i do have some ideas if i ever wanted to, but my adhd brain couldnt cope being consistent so i probably never will.

how has your "sims style" changed throughout your years of playing?

as in sims or gameplay? idk ill talk about both. gameplay wise, not much, except im weirdly a lot more controlling then i was over my sims WHOOPS. but i still cant get passed gen 2 so that hasn't changed. but i still prefer family gameplay, probably always will. and challenges, always challenges. sims wise? a lot.

this is one of the earliest sims i have photo evidence of. this was in 2018 i believe?

whose your favourite cc creator?

the people that are the cause of most of my cc obsession are @kerriganhouse , @rollo-rolls , @johziii , @joojconverts & @martassimsbookcc and probably a few more but mind blank

how long have u had simblr?

since 2020. one of the longest things ive ever committed to.

how do you edit your pictures?

with my blood, sweat and tears. im not joking, a lot of sweat and tears goes on when im editing.

what expansion/gamepack is your faveourite?

of all time? generations, no doubt in my mind. i never had any sims 1 or sims 2 expansions, so i never got to experience those unfortunately. generations was perfection though. i mean, boarding school? lifesaver. also led to the best sims series of all time: lifesimmer's generations. for sims 4 though? probably get together, purely because of the world.

one piece oc GALAPAGOS the ANYAGI !

snowed in by nami

hi! my name is nami, i'm 22, i use it/its pronouns, and i'm an animator(i have a degree lmfao)!! here's mobile rules :)

Don't be a dick. This is probably my number one thing, this is for tumblr, it's writing, it's for fun. So lets have fun.

OC. Crossovers. Duplicates. I LOVE ALL OF THESE!!!!!!!! I am a huge advocate for ocs, especially as an oc writing myself :] I love ocs, give me your ocs. Give me crossovers too!!!

Selective. Mutuals Only. For the sake of my comfort, this blog is selective and mutuals only, meaning if I don't follow you, please don't try to thread with me or reblog my posts. I'm okay with sending questions or anons, but actual threads is a nono. Please don't spam like my posts if we're not mutuals. One or two likes? Fine, but if you're spamming liking and we're not mutuals, I will likely block you.

Mun =/= Muse. i am not Galapagos. please do not equate her actions and morals to my own.

I will not hold back my muse. I don't like to restrict or hold back my muse. I let the muse go in the directions the muse wants. The second I feel forced or the muse feels forced to do something that's out of character or unrealistic for the character, it causes inspiration to dwindle. Obviously plotting is still a thing and I won't do anything like severely injure/kill your muse without asking, but!!

Triggers. This blog is 18+ only it will contain triggers. i try to tag as much as i can, but i am bound to miss things. This blog contains some dark topics, I don't recommend following if you are uncomfortable with any of the following topics: slavery, abandonment, child/human experimentation, extinction, isolation, child/general abuse, drinking/alcohol, death, and similar topics. everything will be tagged.

Discord/IMs. Discord is open for mutuals!! I am practically always on discord, I do the occasional discord drop, but all you have to do is ask and I'll give it to you.

Other Blogs. I have so many other blogs it's bonkers. Less than I did when I was more prominently in the one piece rpc, but A WHOLE LOT STILL!! I write lots of pokemon stuff over on @picavecalyx, but I am mainly active on @vitrumbra (and my many sideblogs) writing comics stuff like dc and marvel!! If I am not here, I am over there.

Activity. I have recently graduated from art college in Animation! So I am extremely busy trying to find a job and the like. This blog is LOW ACTIVITY.

Length. I have a habit of writing a lot. Like a lot-- You don't need to match my length, I just ask you give me enough to work with...that being said if you reply to like 5 paragraphs with a single sentence, I probably won't continue the thread lol.

Verses. In addition to One Piece main verse, I will have a Trigun verse for Galapagos. When I have it written it will be linked here.

here is a bio summary for galapagos >:)

name: galapagos nickname(s): gala, goat gender: they/she age: 1013 (physically 13) species: anyagi height: 3'8" role: sailor/traveler

abilities: Despite not being able to consume a devil fruit without dying, Galapagos possesses the natural, and semi-rare, ability to grow and control plants. In addition, she is also able to make a plant die, by either reversing the growth of a plant or forcing a plant to grow too much, ending a plant’s life early. However, with careful training, this “ too much ” can be settled to be able to let a plant grow to it’s full potential.  Galapagos is also able to communicate with plants. In addition, she is able to burrow through any sort of soil and be able to hold her breath for upwards of an hour if not caught out of nowhere or being slammed underwater. Given her weightlessness as an Anyagi, she is incapable of dying from falling, given she will simply float down. Anyagi possess the ability to sacrifice their life to grow an entirely new devil fruit, Galapagos does have this ability.

history: Galapagos was born to Abdraecilius and Evangeline on Hoarfrost. She was born roughly 900-1000 years prior to the main timeline. However, after a strange instinct, Galapagos went missing, when in reality she had simply gone into hibernation deep within Hoarfrost’s soil. By the time she awakened from her slumber, a new time had come and the entirety of the Anyagi tribe aside from her had been extinguished. In addition to most of the villages on the island.

Presently, Galapagos had scavenged her own village for any remnants of her tribe being alive, only finding a few weapons, including what she uses now--a gun with a black blade attached--and then went off on a journey to find other anyagi...despite most likely being the only one left.

other: Galapagos often tells people she is a mink unless she really trusts someone, then she'll be a little more open about what she really is. Galapagos will always trust giants. Galapagos has a seed bag, this has seeds from Hoarfrost as well as everywhere she travels. She uses these seeds in case of emergency, using her ability to grow them fully. galapagos has a stutter.

[ardenssolis]

Name — Shi

Pronouns — she/her or they/them

Preferred comms — Discord buuut I don't like giving my Discord out unless we've been interacting and talking for a while nowadays, so I am trapped in the hell known as IM until then. Honestly, though, I have a tendency to get into writing or doing other things and forget anyone talked to me sometimes either way so--- 😭

Name of muse — Ozymandias

Experience in RP — I've been rping since I was a kid back in forever ago before I even really knew what rping was. It all started on a chat site and I wasn't sure what was going on but I liked it LMFAO. I think it was probably about middle school-ish time for me. 6th grade I guess??? So a while.

Best experiences — AAAAA many! I think some of my best experiences rping was when I was doing things with my friends on Twitter and Deviantart. They always inspired me to draw and we were constantly designing characters / joining art rp groups back then which helped me improve drastically. Ughugh I miss doing things like that sometimes.

Pet peeves / dealbreakers — Godmodding. The quickest way to make me drop a thread is making Ozy do something or saying he did something without consulting with me. That's a pretty big dealbreaker for me as I've been put in really uncomfortable situations as a result of people doing this. Also instantly coming at me with ship ideas is a bit of a put off if we like...have literally done one thing / I barely even know you. I had that happen day one of me making Ozy and it almost made me want to leave before I even did anything. Only time I will shake you around and be like, "yeah let's gooooo!" is if we've known one another a long time / I'm comfortable enough to do that.

Muse preference ( fluff, angst, smut ) — That depends. I love writing things where it's deeply discussion based over beliefs, philosophies, and the like. Emotionally charged threads too since that gets my muse really going, but it doesn't need to quite be angst so IDK AAAAAA. Fluff is okay sometimes, although Ozy isn't exactly 'fluffy' most of the time and it's a 50/50 with him and his fickle moods. Smut is nice to write every now and then too because there can be a lot of characterization in intimate moments like this. I don't think I have any kind of definite preference when I think about it -rubs chin-

Plot or memes — Memes usually (or just throwing unprompted stuff in my inbox)! My attention span is absolutely terrible. I like plotting but I have a tendency to slowly lose interest if it goes on for a while as I like getting the barebones as to what we're going to do, have some discussion, then jumping straight into making a thread. Discussing things as we go along and have things already started is just more fascinating for me.

Long or short replies — I loooove long replies, but those tend to be done at a slower pace unless the muse is really gripping me by the throat. I remember the days when I wasn't working and I could get through like ten threads a day or something but thinking about that now has me like, "how did I even do this?" So a nice mixture of short and long is nice! That way I can pick and choose what I feel like replying to that day.

Best time to write — In the weeee hours of the night mainly -- and with music! ////

Are you like your muse — Not even remotely amg. Ozy's too much of everything. He's loud, he's arrogant, and his confidence levels are off the charts on a good day whereas I prefer to be left to my devices, avoiding conversation or faking it till I make it with people, and then dying when I get home because boy was that too much extroverted activity for me FKJSDFHKSDFDS

29. what are your honest thought about your muse’s canon? // also asked by @rocketborn

[ are you ready for gio to rant about pokèmon writing :3 ]

for SuMo, which is also the canon i follow the most... I'm generally pretty okay with how they dealt with him. Like I always write him thinking mostly about that version, of course adding a little more of "adult content" (as in, him bleeding and dying and being Fucking Depressed in ultraspace mostly), but that's the version i fell in love with. I am and I will always be vocal about how rushed the final part of gen 7 was and how i'm DISGUSTED!!!!!!with the idea that a good ending implies team skull being disbanded (thus making it an ending where he didn't really learn to not run away from responsabilities :^)) but for the most part it's great and i love him.

USUM can choke fr fr ♥ I like the interaction he has with Hau in the Garden, but that's about it that was the beginning of Lusamine being woobified because This Woman Can't Be Evil I Fucking Guess (and while i have 0 idea of how hes handled in Masters i did see their interactions with mutual respect and i want to blow myself up), and by extention their relationship being instead written in a more healthy way that. i genuinely can't fucking see. like fuck off USUM all my homies hate USUM they did great with Necrozma they did okay with Rainbow Rocket i wish Guzma's personality wasn't Lusamine Guard Dog Except Without The Nuance Bc We're Afraid Of Evil Women Haha like cmon man!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have. so many mixed feelings about PokeSpe. i'm going to say it right away i think it's mid the battles are great everything else but mostly how female characters are written is okay at best terrible at worse. from the little i saw they really decided to keep his undying loyalty to Lusamine and i hate it here but i enjoy how they managed to write him slightly more unhinged.

the anime did him justice actually. I still think he wouldn't touch the League, ever, and he wouldn't get mad at Golisopod for an ability he should know he has (miss me with that "he's just pretending he doesn't know :)" the anime makes it very clear), but i like his competitivity and his arrogance and how they handled his finale a lot. with the years i made peace with aniGuzma and i think he's very neat despite my problems with the anime (coughlusaminecough). i'm not particularly annoyed with how they confirmed he decided to start a war on alola bc he couldnt be a trial captain either, with how the anime is written i can see that as a good reason actually idk i like how they managed to make him feel like a proper threat and a good "final antagonist". good shit

so basically the tier list is

SuMo except the ending 2. the anime idk 6. pokespe and at the 99th place usum

Versailles

characters: nanami kento x fem! reader

warnings: spoilers for jujutsu kaisen manga and shibuya arc incident, major character death, so much angst, swearing

a/n: the lyrics are from fourth of july by surfjan stevens. also thank you so much for all the support on my most recent work ♡now cry

did you get enough love, my little dove, why do you cry?

the air felt tight as he kept fighting through the curses, and kento knew, a single mistake could cost him his life. why did he still bother anyways? he was dying. the left side of his body was completely burnt off and he could feel the end nearing.

the thought of his beautiful fiance came to mind, one of the strongest jujutsu sorceress and undeniably his favorite presence in the world. he couldn't bare the thought of leaving and the pain his death would inflict to his beloved. his one and only.

his blade kept slashing through curse after curse and he wondered, how much he would just give to go back to her, in the warmth of their shared bed and hold her. how nice it would feel to have her close. if time travel was real all he'd do would be running away with her and getting married as they were supposed to.

she would want him to focus on the fight, maximize the possibilities of staying alive and going back to her and yet he wanted his final moments to be surrounded with visions of his darling.

the curses were multiplying. closing in on him unexpectedly. how are there so many even after slaying such a huge amount of them? kento wanted to give up and she would understand, he knew she would.

kento was about to close his eyes. he could die happy, hoping she would forgive him for getting away. for not fulfilling his promise of seeing her with a white dress and making her his. yet the end never came.

opening his eyes he could see the curses blow up one after the other. backup perhaps? he needed to fight, to help whoever came for him but he was stuck in his shoes. why was his heart sinking in his stomach all of a sudden? his soul felt like it was being ripped out of his body and then, he noticed the butterflies. golden butterflies.

the sight would be enough to take his breath away. her cursed technique never failed to mesmerize anyone around her. that's what she was to him, mesmerizing. even when the butterflies sat on top of the curses and ate them away, they were still so beautiful. everything that came from her was.

however when the last butterfly sat on the tip of his finger and fluttered her wings before slowly dissipating into the atmosphere, he knew it wasn't a good sign.

and as the final remnants of her flew away, a tear slipped down his face.

and im sorry i left, but it was for the best though it never felt right

after that nanami walked down the hallway where he knew he would find the one who was at fault for all this, mahito. he walked slowly. even if there was a way for him to survive, he had nothing to live for anymore. he was in so much fucking pain.

he didn't care and nothing mattered in the world. the only thing that mattered was her. and she was gone. but maybe they would have more time to plan their wedding now. or go on vacation to places she always wanted to visit. he could build her a house in malaysia, next to the beach and read their books together. he would give her children if she wanted and he would love her till the end. he would love her eternally.

"y/n... what was i ever trying to do anyway?" he wondered, images of her beautiful smile flashing in front of his eyes. how he would love to have every smile of hers directed at him and only him. kento was tired and he missed holding her. he wanted everything to just get over with so he could see her beautiful face once more.

we're all gonna die

he had finally reached mahito and his vision was already clouding. he was just moments away from passing. he felt relieved. he didn't even mind dying to the most disgusting monster that there was. the one who took away y/n y/l/n. even like this, he was honored to go by the same hands that held his beloved's last moments.

from the corner of his eyes he had noticed itadori, the young boy completely in shock from the sight of his senior perishing. did he also witness y/n's death too? there was no time anyways. he was sure that they would catch up later. just him and her.

he turned to young itadori, smiling softly at the boy

"you've got it from here"

my little versailles

[canongf-archive]

hello! first off, you're really nice and sweet, i hope u have a good day so far w ur f/os!!

second, i wanna ask your opinion. There's this 2 characters that's already became my f/os, one romantic (a), the other platonic (b), and i think my feelings for b might have become romantic these past few days. those two are canonically (both in my own au and canon media) best friends, but my feelings for a hasn't change since yet.

ik that my comfort is what matters in self shipping, so im considering to take things forward with b and might add him to my romantic f/o list and have a separate aus where i date each of them since im not poly. but im not quite sure yet...

before, i experience the same situation. i date one of the best friend, but my feelings for the old one isn't working out, so we broke up and eventually i date the other best friend and things between us are really good now. i still kinda feel bad for the ex, but he assure me and became my best friend... (why is this sound like im talking abt an irl situation💀)

bcs i have experience it, i dont want my feelings for both a and b dying out... i try to assure myself that things between me n b are platonic, but i just fall even more for him,, so.. wdyt? thank u for replying if so!!

💗 hi hi hi !!!!! 💗

first off!!! thank you so so so much!!!!! you are!!! an angel!!! i am having a rlly beautiful day so far!!!!! 💗

and second!!! anon, i am a big advocate for allowing yourself to feel what you feel. in every situation!!! but especially so when it comes to self shipping!!! i am a big advocate of following where your heart leads you, and it sounds like your heart is leading you to character b!!!

i completely understand being hesitant, especially because of the experience you've already had!!! and i completely understand not wanting to lose feelings for either of them!!! but truth be told, we'll never be able to know which feelings will last and which feelings won't. we can't see into the future. and i think if we wait because we're scared something won't last, we could miss out on something really beautiful!

sometimes feelings don't last, and that's okay! it's not moral failing! but that doesn't mean we shouldn't enjoy them while we have them! can you imagine if we never read a book, never watched a movie, never listened to a song just because we knew it would end? we'd miss so many things! and i think the same of relationships! your feelings for A and B might change down the road. or they might not! but it doesn't matter, because what matters is that right now you have feelings for both of them, and i think that's what you should embrace!

plus! the great thing about self shipping is. at the end of the day, they're not real. they don't have emotions that you don't give them. so if you lose feelings for one or both of them, they won't be hurt. it won't be awkward. you can make things however you want them to be!

i think you should let yourself feel what you're feeling, anon! i think you should like who you like and i think you should pursue what you're feeling! i think the pros outweigh the cons!!!

💗 good luck!!! 💗

[niks-minion]

crack request of me right now but... is it bad that i kinda want this top three + deku teamup to fail 😭😭 or at least not go to plan.

like look, i get why the other kids got left behind, since they're neither deku the mc with the op power nor the top heroes with sometimes decades more experience, and the way horikoshi has been scaling their powers it's usually only deku who gets to have the bamf explosion of power moments outside of training (the other kids do help out for sure, but usually it involves careful planning like the put gigantomachia to sleep thing, and generally they're not allowed huge displays of power, so that makes u feel like they can't keep up with deku) but like... it rubs me the wrong way. what we're doing now is grooming deku to be the sole pillar (a concept proven shitty and unstable) while the other kids aren't granted the chance to have all might or whoever pay extra special attention to them. like all might sucks as a teacher tbh. even in 284 he has the other kids take time from their own training regiments to help deku instead of like... making up an exercise that benefits the whole class and deku. he left behind 39+ kids who looked up to him and needed guidance (basically implying they're not worth his time, are not gonna be able to make a difference) at a time when the world around them is falling apart.

and like... i get it, deku is the mc, he's gonna get special attention, he's gonna get the cool powers and the bonus training or whatever. im absolutely not mad about that. i'm also not expecting all the kids to get equal relevance or whatever. you could argue that we've got no time to waste on training the other kids and their feelings. but i can't help but be a bit frustrated that horikoshi created so many cool characters with so much potential only to have it seem like they'll end up sidelined. like it feels atp like the tertiary protagonist is endeavor not shouto.

and ig what im asking for is the other kids rising to the occasion. even if they don't have guidance from the symbol of peace or full support from the top three heroes, even if they don't have the generations passed down power, even if they're not the chosed one, even if they're left out of plans and treated like they're secondary, id like to see them defy expectations. I'd like to see a scenario where the old heroes won't cut it and where the kids take charge to bring about some genuine change in both the world and the hero system. i want to see a scenario where the current plan fails and they need to be bailed out by the kids (+everyone else). i'd like to see the other kids grow out of both a desire to be great heroes and spite lmaoo

like i know this is probably irrational wish fulfillment on my end, and im not a writer so this probably wouldn't make for a cool story to anyone but me, but damn do i want it and damn do i miss the kids.

Ok. Hello my dear anon. Now that’s a long ask.

Ok. Warning. My opinion may be a bit biased, and also more focused on the origin trio than the whole class, bc let’s be honest it was obvious from the start there the main focus would be.

1. Let’s start with the fact that I’m not a Deku hater. Yes I make jokes, yes the sole focus on him makes me bitter bc we all have our favorites and want them to shine, yes I’m dying to see tdbk team up, bite me. That doesn’t mean that me, you or any other person wishing to get smth more is a “die Deku die!” enthusiast.

2. Your opinion is valid and understandable. Honestly, I get it. More so I think that’s gonna be the case bc come on, you can’t tell me that this dream team is gonna just kick a couple of asses, scream “plus ultra” and restore the whole country back to normal. I call bullshit. I’ve heard the guess that it may be a mirror to Katsuki’s kidnapping during the forest arc. (Would be cool bc the whole class could come to the picture and save him, plus Deku realizing he’s not alone etc etc)

3. About Deku being op and others being in his shadow.

Well, yep, as you’ve said- our broccoli boy is the mc, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

But taking jjk for example I don’t feel bitter about Megumi. And in Haikyuu I didn’t feel bitter literally about any character, especially Kageyama, god damn it’s the most satisfying shonen manga for those who has “I usually like mc’s bff/rival more” mindset. (it’s me)

That’s why I’m gonna die in the hill of denial that in bnha at least Bakugou and Todo are not gonna end up eating dirt and be satisfied with the average place somewhere behind Izuku.

Welcome to my praying circle, let’s sit and drink cola/wine while waiting for tumblr to go mad with the frames of other class 1A ( 2a now) kids. Plus Shinsou. Plus shiketsu kids, why the fuck Inasa wasn’t at the war arc, wind throwing villains here and there?!

4. The most irritating thing for me is this.

And this

Again, I totally get it. They need to protect ofa. What’s the better place for it than being sandwiched between top to heroes. And yes you can say the others are just kids and dealing with real life threats is too early for them. Deku simply has no choice. I’m ok with it.

But holy shit, was I disappointed to witness this exact frame...Yeah, yeah, call me Shouto simp, whatever man. But the build up, the “here is my hand, let’s fight together”... it’s only natural for me to to wish Todo was there too. I’m craving for Shouto/Hawks/Enji team up.

About Deku’s arms. Excuse me, but... it had so great drama potential. That he injured his arms and for now is unable to use them to the full capacity or something. I’m a sucker for a good angst so🤷🏻‍♀️ but then it was solved just like that? Ok, what did stop you to order these gauntlets like half a year ago, ha?

Welp, It’s for the reason that our duo is out of the picture. Suspiciously so.

Let’s wait a bit and hope for the best.

[mossterunderthebed]

I HAVE BEEN ASKED FOR MY REASONS

pull up a chair people we are going to Talk about The List

FIRST OF ALL: Build. Okay this one is probably a bit strange for some people but listen. Listen. I want you to understand something. The chances of a woman being stick thin and curvy in the way Cha Hae-In is AND ALSO being able to throw a fully grown man like a pinata is almost zero. (Another thing we never see from her which is just plain sad, she never goes up against a single man in a meaningful confrontation.)

Her boobs are bigger than her face, okay. Women can and do have large breasts- in and of itself, this isn't a problem. Her thighs are also quite large. Not bad, not bad, we've got some symmetry going on. You find out later she's a track and field star who was going to become an athlete but gave it up for the sake of protecting ppl as a hunter. ofc that doesn't come out until like the last forking chapter but okay. fine.

HOWEVER. While her thighs indicate something of the strength of a runner, her calves do not. Her knees also do not. When you're a runner, it's generally obvious. The most successful runners also have A Build. You can look at one and just Know: you run.

An example of a smaller detail, many runner's have a Runner's Knee- a specific group of muscles that, when repeatedly trained, can look almost like a second knee on some people because of how incredibly developed they are. If Cha Hae-In was a serious athlete, it wouldn't be abnormal for her to have this.

She's not often portrayed full body, and this is generally a forgettable thing, so okay. fine. HOWEVER (theres gonna be a lot of these just get used to it my friends) her waist is the size of a stretched cat. Her arms are twigs. I have seen women who are genuinely Strong. They do not have thin arms.

So i guess for the sake of the story, we're gonna suspend belief and say that it's mana or magic or S-Rank bullsheep. Okay. She's got an okay-ish build for a runner- still not realistic but if we lean into 'It's Magic' and she wears two sports bras every time she runs and biking shorts so she doesn't chafe, then whatever. fine.

Also

She's blonde. I hate this. For real reasons but also personal preference. Too many webtoons and books and stuff fall into this, just like there are too many elf romance books where the male lead hads white hair. why does he have white hair? nobody knows. This is nothing against blondes. I've dyed my hair blonde. I had fun, it was cool, this isn't a 'nobody should be blonde because it makes them a ditz' post. begone stereotypers. tho that is another of my annoyances w her character (the ditz part babe not the blonde part thats a separate issue) but that's not about the sin of being blonde thats about the sin of undeveloped characters.

Okay so. She's a Korean. And she's blonde. Alright, lets suspend belief, its a dungeon story. sure. sure. but give me SOMETHING. SOMETHING to tie it into the story, some reason, some interesting tidbit to just flesh out and give her a little flesh on her bird-like twig bones that are NOT REALISTIC given the rest of her build and her physical prowess. (yes im harping on this)

For example, let's say mana flooded the world with the opening of the gates and had strange effects on some human. the awakening of hunters is often accompanied by physical changes- some may be topical some may be muscular, etc etc etc. Interesting, right? Her grandmother is English, her father is German, that kind of thing adds a bit of backstory, a bit of flavour. Show us a scene of her foriegn father cooking her a specialty dessert from his home that he misses.

Show him promising her to take her to visit one day; transition to his hand falling from her head covered in blood and she wakes up gasping from the nightmare of her father's death which is also why she became a hunter.

Do u see that? Do u see what i did there? i made her a Person for a minute in less than a sentence. because we have some Understanding of her, and that Understanding leads to Sympathy; to Interest. We like her a little more because we know a bit about her. this took ONE sentence. three four five panels. a fourth of a chapter. three panels inside her head every once in a while when MC does something in battle that reminds her of her own motivations. thats all it takes.

Cha Hae-In's biggest flaw is that she's not a Character. She's not a Person. She's a Love Interest. She's a Woman, not a woman. A lampshade. She is entirely there to provide the Male Main Character with An Option that's Not As Good As Him, but still Good Enough to be marriageable. And u wanna know what happens with that?

They get married. They have a baby. He gets a job in the police force. She becomes a stay-at-home-mom.

What. The. Fuck.

u wanna tell me in what world that's realistic?

putting aside the fact that after 27 YEARS of nothing but bloodshed sung jinwoo may not have a gentle bone in his body let alone an untraumatized brain-cell rattling around his skull, she's like three DECADES younger than him at this point. fine. suspend belief. we are Suspending Belief. Fine. okay. Move on.

So.

She's a Hunter, an S-Class Hunter. But she's not violent, no. She doesn't enjoy her power or take any pleasure in facing off against strong opponents, and if she does, we never know about it. Of course not.

Of COURSE not, Solo Leveling is a Male Power Fantasy made flesh. The strong dominate the weak? the weak are bullied and seen as useless? the one who is strong will be Seen and Listened to and Respected. Strength is the only thing that matters; Overwhelming Strength? One person can save the world. He's calm, cool, collected. He's ripped and strong but not thick because that's not how it Should Be (disregard the fact that this is how it Is). He's the perfect man. Girls fawn over him. Women are wooed by him with a glance.

Give me a single reason that isn't the Male Power Fantasy. And the worst part, to me? MOST MEN DONT EVEN WANT THAT. Not decent men. not well-rounded men. not interesting or creative or loving men. literally. to be The Strongest and Bear Every Responsibility and Save Everyone, NOBODY WANTS THAT.

anyway this post aint about sung jin-woo- luv u precious boi on the verge of a mental break (if we're being realistic but this is SL so we're not *shrugs*)- this post is about Cha Hae-In.

so we're gonna talk about another problem, as is briefly mentioned above. Every woman wants sung jin-woo. okay. from the very first moment they met, her first thought? 'he doesn't smell bad' to her incredibly delicate, sensitive S-Class nose. literally, 'he's not like other men'

Oh. my. gosh. im gonna scream.

let's also remember the moment he walked into his LITTLE SISTER'S school and every teen girl there immediately started giggling. okay first of all no. second of all NO. most teen girls arent actually that stupid and arent really interested in guys six years older than them unless they're getting groomed or paid.

Of those that are one of those groups, they dont usually giggle abt it in public. they'll giggle with their friends or after school. not IN FRONT OF THE GUY thats forking embarrassing for everyone. some will, yeah, but they'll be the really outspoken group that just does not care or are overconfident that nothing can hurt them bc they have daddy's money and no life experience.

his lil sis offering to set him up was just disturbing. no. minors, guys. MINORS. no. thats on the author not the characters. should sung jin-woo have been like, brainless sister mine, im twenty three and they're six. i dont want to get arrested. no. but again thats the author's fault imo.

okay anyway im sorry this post isnt coherent im not very coherent rn tbh. basically i just got really frustrated with how, from the start, cha-hae-in wasn't her own person. she was a reflection of a fantasy. we don't know almost ANYTHING about her. they have a few sparkly pink background moments. like two. maybe. she confesses and isn't rejected but isn't accepted either until the very very end when she confesses again in a different timeline. we dont know ANYTHING about her. WHY does the guy even like her? we dont know. He doesn't even seem to know. shes a cardboard cutout.

'you're my only friend' he once says, because she says it once in battle and I CALL BULLSHIT. what about your vice-prez? What about the b-rank healer from the beginning who healed your useless ass every time u got beat up and nearly died in a dungeon? (who was also attracted to him btw even as a hopeless wimpy dweeb. *massages my temples* and some girls (and guys) are into that!!! full respect to u! but we cant continue in that direction, that would be like saying Diversity has Value and a Place in the hearts of each person because each person's heart is Different and we cant have that, no no no)

speaking of, the way she stands is so heinously unrealistic it makes me cough up a hairball every time i see it.

this is her in battle. IN BATTLE. do u know who stands like that in battle? someone about to get their knees snapped. that entire outfit is completely useless and impractical for numerous reasons. i hate everything about this picture.

a lot of cha hae-in's problems reveal themselves repeatedly throughout the series in various characters, especially minor ones, so we won't completely fault her- again, all of this is on the author, who's neglected what could have been a genuinely interesting character- the only one of Korea's Ten S-Ranks to be a woman. instead she's literally flattened and massacred in the very beginning.

she's literally referred to by the MC by being 'still so pure.' i cannot express to you the number of problems i have with this sentiment. she's a ditz. she's incredibly intelligent. she's pure. she's willing to get her hands bloody. she's beautiful. she's strong. she's powerful. her stance doesn't reflect that. her body's not structurally possible. there's no confidence or personality trait indicative of her status. she's clever; she never talks except to bounce ff the MC or provide him a reason to be patronizingly amused by her cute purity.

i want. to scream.

she's not REAL. she's not a Person. 'its a story its not real life ofc she's not real Moss stop being picky,' u say. in a story, this IS actually a problem. your characters should be well rounded, even side characters and love interests, ESPECIALLY love interests. they MUST to be someone we see fondly as the audience because if we don't how can we ever believe the MC does? this is an issue with writing and story and it's the kind of thing that can halt sales, writers, and stories. if for no other reason than bothering the reader or breaking their immersion.

for an example i want to point to the enormous number of satosugu shippers. they're never stated in the text as being in love or together or even interested in each other as anything other than friends. even gege akutami never SAYS it. there's no outright source. but the MATERIAL. oh gosh. its so clear that they love each other- and you can take that any way you want, i prefer friendship because it makes it possible for me to sleep at night- but even as platonic soulmates, they ARE soulmates. not once do they ever say that to each other. but they say, 'it's okay, because you're here,' they say, 'he's my best friend' even years after their falling out, ' they're indulgent towards each other, they follow each other around, they play games and spend time together, they fight and care and MEAN something to each other. even though suguru's pov isn't much delved into while he's still suguru, we still KNOW. its not stated but it shows.

in contrast, we have NO idea why sung woojin likes cha hae-in. we don't know how. there was a scene at an amusement park. there was a Moment at the end. there was a confession. none of it connects or has a natural progression with times in the middle of them getting to know each other, be fond of each other as anything but just distant figures. You think people like that can survive in a marriage to each other??? marriage is hard freaking work that takes the MOST dedication and patience and vulnerability. there's not an ouce of indication they'd be truly willing to give that to each other as equal partners or lovers.

cha hae-in is also completely well behaved and perfect. there's nothing interesting about her. think about yu sangah from ORV- omniscient reader's viewpoint for those who haven't read it (read it, it'll change your life and youll never regret it). Yu Sangah is also a beautiful woman. A Beautiful woman. Beautifu las in Plot Device. She is Beautiful. She is intelligent and well behaved. rather mild and with a bland personality- except. EXCEPT. we see a little about her interests from the very start. (she's learning spanish) we learn about her situation. (she's getting hired again by the company even tho kim dokja isn't) she's scared by the beginning of the Scenarios, but she also survives them, and then she DOES something with that survival. she grows. she trains. she becomes strong. she sacrifices herself. we see her alive again and she shows such gentle affection towards our MC- kim dokja- and helps him stand up again and face the world. she is a Character. a Person. she's more nurturing and the good girl type but that's not all she is. she's compassionate, she's brave, she's scared but will do the thing that needs to be done for her loved once to survive.

in contrast, again, we know literally nothing about cha hae-in's interests or capabilities or family or the things she would do for her loved ones. we don't know about her savagery or lack therof. we dont know if she's disgusted but forces herself to fight anyway for her hypothetical deceased father. we dont know if she loves the rush but hates the blood. we dont know if she's got any kind of interesting characterists- something like a love of lemon candies like han sooyoung (also orv) or a huge fujoshi like Uriel (orv). there's just nothing. how can we have any atttachement to her like that?

look like i said i really do love solo leveling. it was such a fun series. and these problems are very much problems with the author, who i do admire for making this work and am not trying to hate on or discredit. its fun, it entertained me enough for me to binge it in a total of like four days- anime and manhwa- but these issues are real, and wouldn't have taken very much at all to address. all of my complaints can genuinely be solved with one or two extra chapters. i understand page space. i understand chapter limits. i understand differences in worldview.

but cha hae-in is honestly the accumulation of just about everything i hate about women in media. like. all in one place. its an all you can eat buffet of presentation issues.

anyway. again i really did like the story and i applaud the author. it was fun and im glad to have read it.

sung jin-woo still should've fucked woo jin-chul instead.

just finished reading the entirety of Solo Leveling after getting hooked on the anime and ough.

OUGHHHHHHHHH

[indigopurple]

Basically a review of OP episode 503 ig

Currently rewatching post-war arc (in the dub so I don't have any screenshots for u guys sry) and theres a few things id like to point out.

During a conversation Dadan once had with Garp, they were talking about Roger. Garp said that even if they were facing powerful enemies, he would never run away because he wouldnt dare leaving his comrads behind; it wasnt an option for him. Obviously we see this in Ace. But ALSO, isnt this what he did with Katakuri? It was a little different cuz of the setting mostly, but he separated himself from his crew to fight off katakuri, and lied to them about being okay so they didn't worry (he was already getting his ass kicked by then, so he just made that stupid smile and told them not to worry (or smth like that, I can remember the exact line) (that smile was so gross and fake cuz he fucking sucks at lying). Also he said roger destroyed a buncha soldiers cuz they mouthed off his men. That's what Ace tried to do but instead he died. :(

"The pain he went through just made him hold on tighter to the ones he loved" -Garp, about Roger. "Despite his flaws and his bad reputation, his crew still trusted him completely." -also Garp, about Roger. These both sound a lot like Luffy AND Ace.

When Dogra got home and told everyone about Sabo's ship being shit down and him dying (which we all know didnt happen, thank fuck), (by the way the absolutely lost looks on Ace's and Luffy's faces with the sudden silence hurt like a bitch), Luffy started crying and said "WE SHOULDNT'A LET HIM GO, IT'S ALL OUR FAULT". Which fucking says something about him (thinking of episodes 913-915 when he goes fucking berserk, but before that he learns that Kaido probably killed Tama and he says "I should've escorted them..!" (*ugly cries*)). Ace also reacted pretty similarly-- "Sabo...why didn't we go back into town and bring him back here?! We're so stupid!" And he gets mad and asks where he could find the bastard that killed him (obviously not getting a good answer since it was a fucking celestial dragon ugh). That is what Luffy does, in present time. He results to anger first, not sadness. Not sure when he learned to do that but I'm 99 percent sure it was from Ace. Also the blaming himself thing? High chance thats ALSO from Ace. Who else would teach him that self hating behaviour?!

Dadan pins Ace down to stop him from going after the Celestial Dragon to calm him down, telling him he cant do anything, he's not big or strong enough to do anything and he'll be killed as soon as he tries anything, especially since it was the whole country -the whole WORLD- that killed Sabo. He can't do anything. And then they tied him to a tree outside to let him cool off. Oh yeah then he also told luffy to stop crying like a little girl or else he'll- (and he didn't finish the sentence). ...Ok maybe thats why luffy started being more angry than sad.

This is where things get a little more :( . Ace reads the letter Sabo sent them before he died. As he reads, he walks to the end of the forest, to a cliff overlooking the ocean. And starts fucking bawling (btw the voice actor who had Ace's childhood part did not do a very good job, no where near as in character and real as Coleen Clickenberg did with all of Luffy's crying scenes. She was spot on.) ...do you see where im going with that? He isolated himself before letting himself feel sad. It was all rage and then calm beforehand. Y-you see where im going with that. Dont make me say it.

"How's Luffy doing, is he any better?" "Well...he hasnt been eating much, but he still eats twice as much as we do". Oh look, That's what happened after Ace died too. There's a behavioral pattern that hasnt gone away. Not sure why it wouldve tho.

Luffy is mopeing, lying on the ground in a similar setting ace was at when he cried. Hes thinking about some of the things Sabo said, like how theyre gonna sail the seas together, and he clenches his hands into tight, shaking fists. After Ace shows up and hits him, and talking abt some other stuff I don't feel like relaying, Luffy tightens his grip on the straw hat and tells ace, whimpering, he wants to get stronger (and stronger, and stronger, and stronger and stronger and....) And he wants to be the strongest in the world. "And then, I'll protect everyone. I won't lose anyone I care about". He gets stronger mainly to protect the people he loves. And then he asks ace to promise he won't die. To which he hits Luffy again and tells him he should be more worried about himself dying first. And then the famous line that hurts like a bitch- "I'm NEVER going to DIE!" And then this hopeful music comes on (fucking damnit funimation, u gotta do this? Really??) Also he says he wont die as long as he has a wussy little brother to protect. ...FUCK. Ok, the fist clenching is a thing he does all the fucking time, usually when he gets mad. This was different because he wasnt mad, he was sad. He clenched his fist because thinking about it hurt. Which, huh, sounds a lot like his whole episode after waking up from his 2 week coma on the polar tang. To try and stop the mental pain of those horrendous memories, he resulted to physically pain. He hurt himself. So, He clenches his fists in times like these to fight off the mental pain and the urge to cause himself physical pain. Guys, our boy is bad at emotions, help him. ....ok this paragraph is longer than I anticipated so ill dumb down the rest of it ig. Next part, him asking ace to promise he wont die. The music, the body language, the over change in mood- this comforts him. He stopped hiding his face and silently sobbing after ace said this. OH YEAH! didn't he tell jinbe not to die when they parted ways in Totto Land? And then, hes missing still in Wano and we see Luffy is worried....but convinced Jinbe will show up. Again, this comforts him. Hes nervous cuz someone KOFF KOFF ACE broke that promise once. But jinbe is his crew mate so he trusts him, thank god.

"-But whoever did it, they must be opposed to freedom." The whole freedom thing? That runs through Luffy's blood and spirit.His brothers fought for it, his dad is the man who strives to give everyone freedom basically, and Luffy himself has seen enough of the OPPOSITE of freedom to be so, so much more than just against it. Hence why he of course was so eager to free the slaves in Sabaody, the kids in punk hazard, the toys in dressrosa, the country of Wano from Kaido's tyrany. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree huh.

I dont think Luffy would remember his promise with Shanks if it werent for his brothers putting feul to his dream. It was a stupid bet at first; he just wanted to beat Shanks, right then. But after meeting Sabo and Ace, he found the opposite of freedom and human rights. And then he wanted, REALLY wanted, to become the free-est man in the world; the pirate king.

Last one i promise ok? This one is less connected to whats going on in the episode at this point, but something I noticed (its so obvious everyone has seen this ok) was when luffy cries, his posture is always open. He doesn't curl in on himself like many people would do (I know I would, lol). He doesnt hug himself, protect himself. He's just, opened up to whoever is watching, literally. This has a little more to do with something I haven't talked about much in this post yet; his self-destruction issues. I said he tried to hurt himself when he felt mental pain, which is definitely similar. But he cries and doesnt try to protect or comfort himself, like he doesn't have that programmed into his mind. Reminder that he only wants to live because of his dream, and if he doesnt have his dream, he wants to die. (Whoa.). Ok, so no self preservation mechanism at all rlly. Hes basically ride or die. So, when things hurt so much that he cries, he has no hope left. He just kinda...dies inside. So this was mildly different after sabo died. Yes we saw him just standing there, sobbing. But the next day he's still crying, and instead he's laying on the ground. I saw that and the voice in the back of my head told me he wanted to be a part of that lifeless dirt beneath him. Then, Ace walked over. And his words made him feel the hope that I told you about earlier, and he sat up into a sitting position. And HUGGED HIS LEGS TO HIS CHEST. There's some self preservation! Some hope! Some will to exist, to live! Something we saw none of as he sat in front of his brothers corpse, shutting down. He sat there, open to his enemies, incapable of protecting himself. Practically anyone couldve killed him right then and there. I think he mightve liked that, at that moment. Like thank god he has that stupidly good luck cuz if he didn't I swear someone couldve thrown and axe or FUCKING ANYTHING AT THAT MOMENT and hed be dead becuase he never physically or mentally prepared himself. On purpose.

Our poor boy needs some fucking attention and therapists. (Insert my rant post about how jinbe is on the crew primarily for anger management and therapy, not just being a helmsman.) Ugh, smh ugly cries

Aaaaand thats about the end of the episode. Theres so many little tics and peesonality traits that you notive thru this episode, and I only noticed them cuz im rewatching this part of the show for like the third time. I don't react as much as the first time of course but some things are definitely sadder after knowing what's going on and what will happen later on.

Moral of the story (post)? I think luffy is almost equally as alike -if not, more similar to roger as ace is. Also, high key genuinely think Luffy met like NO ONE but Garp before he met Shanks and his crew. What the fuck was his first like 5 years of being alive like? (He wantd to be a pirate cuz Garp didnt want that. Rebellious baby asshole. And then shanks made things worse, in a good way for luffy. And then ace and sabo made that worse thing worse for a good reason. Luffy lives...for those influences. And that is fucking it. Why.

Oh thanks tumblr for moving my picture to the bottom of the post u fucking idiot

•Without a shadow of a doubt•

Chapter one: A Temple of Memories.

The temple was building of old creaks and sounds that echoed through the halls in the night. Despite their past reputation and the swollowing cold that surrounded their temple, the Lin Kuei had welcomed you with great open arms and the warmth of family.

You don't remember much of what happened. You remember the roaring engine and slashing blades of a helicopter. The wind was warm on your cheeks, the sky giving off a golden glow of orange that signaled dayligh'ts final hours. Your body ached, temples were throbbing. "We're in the clear General, mission accomplished." A woman's voice spoke over you, your (E/C) orbs searched up, finding a blonde looking down at you. "Don't worry, we got you." She smiled softly. Her eyes were an ocean blue and filled with hope. "Cassie." A man's voice was heard, making the blonde look up at an older man, his hair a light brown with a bit of salt and pepper in the sides. "Let's get them hooked up." He said.

You suddenly felt your body lift from the ground and onto what felt like a hospital bed, your finger tips finding soft thin sheets as the buckles around your waist were tightened, a soft prick in your arm made you give a gasp of weak air, looking over to see the man placing an IV needle in your arm and sticking a bit of tape over it, keeping it in place. "Sorry kid, gotta keep you alive and hydrated." He patted your shoulder, giving a smile. "It's good to have you back." He said finally. "Let's head out, Jacquie!" Cassie called to the front of the copter.

That's all you could remember. Besides landing at base and being greeted by many smiling faces. The ones that rescued you saying that they were close friends and teammates of yours. You thought back to their happy faces, sitting around you in the hospital room. They all said that you were all close, the best of friends, and yet you couldn't think of their names. Their features all gained a veil of grief as you shook your head at them. The older man spoke up as the youngers went qiuet. "That's okay Y/N." He gave a smile. "You just get a chance to get to know us all over again." It gave the others a bit of hope.

A knock at the door pulled you out of your thoughts. You sat up from your spot on the bed and quickly made your way over to slide open the door seeing a young woman's face. "Frost." You gave a smile. She returned it in more of a small smirk. "I brought you dinner." The snowy haired girl spoke, holding up a trey of steaming food. You gave her a gracious smile, taking the trey from her and allowing her in as you sat the trey down on the dark wood of your night stand. "So when are you going to get back to helping me with the kiddies?" She said, her bare feet making icey patches on the stone floor. "You're bothered." You meet her cool blue eyes as you sat on the bed. Frost looked at you for a moment before letting out a chilling sigh, the air from her lungs thick and smokey as she took a seat beside you. "Grandmaster send me, wanting to know are you're doing and everything," Her posture was hung low, her arms crossed over her knees. "See if you remember anything."

The food on your night stand still smoked with freshness as you eyed it. You looked back at Frost, trying to find the words. You wanted to be truthful. But another part of you simply wanted to tell her the things she and the Grandmaster wanted to hear. "You don't eat as much as you should." She commented, seeing you just looking at the plate of meat and vegetables seeming unbothered.

"I just feel like i dont need it." You answered after a moment, moving your gaze to the cold tile floors. "Well, you do." The Cryomancer said in a caring yet slightly forceful way, something that was just part of Frost's charm. She see's your jaw clenched for just a moment. "It would hurt a lot of people's feelings if you starved to death." She nudge you, making you gain a low smile for just a moment.

You wish you could remember being apart of the clan and the your team, you wish you jad those memories. But you simply didnt. "Ill feed you if you dont eat." Frost finally said. That made you shake your head and give in with a smile. "Alright, alright." You pulled the trey into your lap, picking up the spoon and stirring around the small bowl of stew that was on the side before taking a bite. "There, now we can keep you." She gave a smile.

You finished your plate and sat it to the side. You and Frost had began talking about the temple gossip that you had apparently missed. Like that one of the guards, Tao had the hots for a Shiria Ryu memeber that always came with Master Hasashi for sparring training, she said his name was Atomu and that you should ask Takeda about him once you join back up with your SF team.

"Frost?" You ask after a moment of silence between the two of you. "Hm?" She looked up at you. "What..." you puased, unsure of how to really word the question. "What happened to me?" You looked at her, metting her gaze.

Frost's shoulders tighted up for a moment before loosening g up again. Her crystal eyes looking to the grey brick of the floor for a moment like she was hoping the carving in the tile would answer for her.

"You died."

She finally answered, and you felt dizzy for a moment. "I-i what?" You looked at her, "Frost, i couldnt have. Im right-" "here. You're here now." She looked at you firmly. "And thats all that matters." She let out an irritated huff but her sharp features began to soften as she looked back at you.

You just sat there, looking at the ground. Chewing on your lips like gum. "How?" You finally asked, not meeting her eyes. "You," she looked down at her hands, picking at her nails, a nervous habbit of hers. "Were with your team, everything was going smoothly and then an ambush happened." She sighed. "You took a knife and...that was that." She said abruptly, not wanting to talking about the details.

Your fingers were clutched tightly into the bed below you, the world feeling like it was spinning around you, until a hand found your shoulder. "But we got you back." Frost said, her grip firm on you. "That's all we wanted."

Time passed and Frost had left you for the night. The wool blankets wrapped around keeping you warm as you begin to drift to sleep, the candle at your bedside still burning.

Everything was nothing but pitch black around you, your body was just a drift in nothingness, it was warm nor cold. Just nothing until a pair of large hands found their way to gripp your arms, seeming to hold you in place in this endless darkness. You're eyes were open, but they saw nothing in this dark place as the hands traveled up, sliding against your skin and up to hold your face. "A lost little spirit..." the voice was deep, yet it echoed like the hissings of snakes. You felt fingers run through your hair and tilt your face to the side. "I'll take you in..." the voice whispered.

You sat up in your bed, letting out a gasp as if you had been under water. Your hand found your heaving chest, your heart desperately trying to escape your ribcage as it pounded against your sternum.

You looked around your small dark room, recognizing it as yours, aiding you in calming from your dream. You let out a deep sigh, closing your eyes for just a moment before the smell of smoke caught your attention.

The candle that was one lit was now out and it was still smoking as if it had just been blown out. You eyed it for a moment, until you were able to tell yourself that your sudden movment from waking up had blown the candle out. You shook your head. It was just a dream, a weird dream that had left you with this chill of familiarity. But a dream nonetheless.

You sank back down in your bed, until you felt something cold on the side of your face, making you feel for whatever it was against your skin. You lifted you hand up into the moon light to see somthing dark on your fingertips making you jump and rush over into the bathroom, flipping the switch on, thinking you were going to see the crimson red of blood once you looked in the mirror. But what you saw made you shiver. A Jet black hand print was perfectly framed against your jawline, the thumb was smeared as it had been rubbing against your cheek.

You didnt know what to think or do, so you simply grabbed a wash cloth, turning the water on in the sink and soaking the cloth til it was dripping and looked back up into the mirror to wash the hand print away only to see it already disappeared.

You dropped the cloth into the water, backing up into the wall giving a shaking sigh with your hands to your head. Maybe you were losing it? Maybe you were slowly dying again. Maybe- you took a deep breath. Remembering what Grandmaster had taught you, 'In a time of storm, find a shelter. In the time of doubt find hope.' You took a few deep breaths. 'In a time of panic, find peace.' You gained control of your breathing, calming your racing heart. Being thankful for your master's words.

Then a thought popped into your mind. If there was anyone to talk to about this, anyone who would have knowledge about life after death, it's him.

You flipped the light switch off, casting the room back into darkness once more as you made your way back under your sheets. It was decided then. You would speak to him first thing in the morning.
