Self-Promote Saturday

Old fics can still be fun, so to keep the fandom ecosystem alive, I’m promoting one of my own today. This week’s self-promote Saturday fic is: Learning to Live with a Body (4k)

Al has to get used to have a body again and while most of it is good and things he missed, he also discovers some things about having a body that he dislikes. It makes him think about how Ed has lived while he was in the armor and the two of them bond about it.

FMAB will forever be one of the best stories I've ever consumed and I am so fascinated with the physical aspect of what happened to Al (as well as Ed) as a result of their human transmutation attempt. I also really love the quieter moments after they won and some good brotherly bonding/family feels. So, this was definitely very interesting to write :D

All he wanted was to keep everyone safe. He was the first to go. He was always surrounded by his friends, now he's all alone with this poison that's spreading on his skin. He succumbed to the ichor, his state of being completely at its mercy.

~What i couldve been~

I was just gonna do the adult timeline zelda but im so enchanted by the idea of these two versions of the same character. People always talk about how link would be changed but never zelda.

an artist i follow got an ask about whether it was alright to use their art as covers for fanfic bookbinding and i'm. sorry i must have missed this discourse but since when are people outright printing out other people's work and binding them into books? do you contact and get author's permission (sure as fuck hope so)? and how do we writers feel about that, because i certainly feel very uncomfortable with that idea. i mean not to spoil the artistic expression of bookbinding because it's beautiful work that i most certainly could not do, but. you can access them stories any time you want on the websites where they were originally posted. why print them? again i mean i get the pleasure of holding & reading physical books, i much prefer that too, but like. get some books i guess? sorry i come from a place of honesty and tbh surprise and confusion about this whole thing. someone tell me how we're feeling about this. someone explain to me why it's being done. i just wanna understand

since you brought it up, what is your ideal op video game?

Well, honestly, I don't think a perfect one piece game could exist. The charms of the series is the expansive world and its depth of story, and achieving both in a single game would be difficult, if not impossible. I also think there are way too many games rehashing the manga, and that's boring. So many possibilities exist beyond the Straw Hat's journey.

I do think it'd be cool if there existed a sort of build your own pirate crew game set in the op world. I'd actually set it in the past during Roger's last journey, with the goal of becoming the Pirate King. It gives a hard 3 year time limit to beat Roger to Laugh Tale. The Four Blues are the starting zones, and which ones you pick change certain bonuses you get at the start. Like, the East Blue has the reputation for being the weakest sea so combat would be easier but you'd have a higher chance of recruiting a crew member with a Dream at the cost of lower Reputation. Since it's pre Buster Call Ohara, the West would give higher chances of recruiting researchers, and the North would have higher science and military backgrounds, etc.

It'd be a mix of peocedurally generated locations and hand crafted islands, and as you go along recruiting people and fighting you gain Reputation, which in turn lets you fight and recruit stronger people. The bigger your crew the more you have to plunder to keep them happy, and if any of your crew have a Dream you have to help them achieve it or else they'll mutiny or leave the crew, but as Dreamers they're stronger with bonuses based on their skill or occupation.

Maybe how you resolve conflict also affects the type of people attracted to your cause, so if you gain a reputation for brutality more bloodthirsty pirates are more likely to follow you, and they get pissed if you go too long without letting them kill something. As you go along you gain maps, log poses, and other things to help survive the Grand Line, but if your Reputation gets too high a Big Player will come after you to knock you down a peg. Like, stay in the East Blue too long and Garp'll come knocking, and if you lose or fail to flee then he'll wipe out your crew and you have to start over.

Once you hit the Grand Line you gain a new Reputation meter specifically for the Grand Line. No one cares if you're the baddest dude in the East Blue once you hit Twin Capes, but if you find a merchant or NPC from your home sea then they'll know your Reputation and react accordingly. Same goes for the New World.

The end goal is to read the poneglyphs and reach Laugh Tale, whether by recruiting Oden, someone from the Three Eye Tribe, a member of the Oharan archeologists before they're blown up, or stealing the intel from another pirate crew. Should you achieve that goal, the game ends with an epic fight against Roger for the title of King.

There are enough canon characters from this era to make it recognizable (imagine fighting pre-Kaido Moriah!) while giving wiggle room for new characters, islands, and scenarios. I think it'd have to make the act of traveling on the high seas fun with hopefully some cool monster fights to spice things up.

Is this feasible? I don't know, probably not. But I think it'd be fun.

i don't know if this is like ooc but imagine a truth serum scenario everything is fine but they don't know if the stuff is out of Dick's bloodstream so they tell him to try to lie about an innocent topic so Jason is like who is your favorite hero and suddenly Dick is looking constipated to which they are like okay still with the truth serum but why are you trying to hold back on saying Supes and finally on the verge of passing out he says "Bruce Wayne" and B and Dick can't look at each other in the eye for like a week

FLUFF WITH RAFE

rafe was in his office dealing with a bunch of paperwork about some “gold treasure” that you honestly didn’t understand, telling you earlier that he couldn’t pay attention to you right now and to find something else to do till he was done. you were beyond bored watching the tv, only wanting to spend some time with your boyfriend. so you crept up the stairs quietly, not wanting to disturb him as you opened the door. watching him flip through white papers and scroll through his computer, his face displaying a serious expression. rafe notices your body in the doorway, seeing you watch him carefully. “what is it baby? what happened?” he says, you take his words as an invitation into the office as you walk towards him, “nothin happened. i just wanted to see you daddy..” and he rolls the chair wheels towards you, a very welcoming posture. you climb onto his lap, straddling his waist as rafe rest one arm on your back. gently rubbing it up and down while you lay your head on his shoulder quietly hear him work. he gives you your ass a light squeeze here and there when you nuzzle your head in to the crook of his neck, inhaling his calming cologne scent.
