#and realising that doesnt make him better

[ravers8fantasy]

Punch out locker room mishaps: major circuit 🔱

I feel like the major circuit locker room would be better, definitely cleaner and with decently made furniture inside.

Don hogs like 3 lockers in the far end, he always brings too much stuff - VERY high maintenance

Hondo hides his manga inside his gym bag, has on multiple occasions left it out though so the others have read through some

They have a card board cut out of the referee in the locker room like a mascot

The referee doesnt know this because one of Don's 3 lockers is the designated hiding spot for it

Bear hugger takes decades in the shower, its either he's fallen asleep or trying to shape his shampoo bubbles into animals

Everyone has tried on Don's toupee wig thing at least once, even the referee and his card board cut out doppelganger

Bear hugger thought it was his squirrel and took it home with him to Canada one winter break, Don was in anguish and thought one of tiger's clone's stole it

Don and Tiger LOVE talking shit about super macho man, they have a designated gossip spot and everything

They all dress up the referee card board cut out when they are bored, they went absolutley hysterical when Hondo put Don's spare wig toupee thing on top

Don was less than thrilled to see them all giggling like school children

When bear hugger first saw it he didnt realise it was a card board cut out and kept talking to it

When little Mac joined the circuit, he opened up the locker hiding it and got jumpscared, absolutely started pissing himself when Hondo told him it was the circuit's mascot

Bear hugger chased Don around with a rat he once found, thats how everyone found out Don has an embarassing 'horror movie' scream

Hondo once ran into a locker and knocked it over. Everyone freaked out because they thought the lockers were nailed to the floor and they started moving everything around

The referee asked them to stop but gave up when he watched them create a make shift basket ball court with 2 lockers and a bench

Tiger loves playing pranks, one time when Hondo was alone in the showers Tiger shut of all the lights and made his clone's act as ghosts

And thats how Hondo slipped so bad he sprained his wrist (also became afraid of the 4th shower)

They all had a circuit sleep over, bear hugger fell asleep hugging the referee cardboard cut out

ended up bending weirdly so now it looks even sillier, especially in the don flamenco cosplay Tiger dressed it up in earlier that night

Tiger ate all of his kaju katli thinking it was gonna keep him awake all night (it knocked his ass right to sleep as soon as the clock struck 11)

Don snored so fucking loudly and kept making noises in his sleep, Hondo thought the 'ghosts' which made him slip in the shower came back to get him bro didnt sleep a wink

Every one nicknamed Hondo 'sonic', even bear hugger started calling him that even though he didnt know what it was.

"fellas what is a sonic the hedgehog?"

"bear are you serious- You dont know THE sonic the hedgehog?"

"Tiger he lives in the middle of no where with a bear and is friends with a squirel what did you honestly expect."

I'm so insane about the doctor they just want to save people. we see them after the timewar where they've just sacrificed every value they hold dear to save as many people as possible by killing so many more and then we watch them spend thousands and thousands of years just trying to save people without hurting anyone and failing over and over again. they save the planet or the universe or whatever every time but it never feels like a victory because they never get to do it right. they always have sacrifice some part of their morality or their humanity or their kindness or their hope in order to win. they might not give their life everytime, but they sacrifice themself everytime they save the world.

ive been thinking about this but. i think shuro understands laios' character pretty well, but he doesn't value his strengths or interests (monster knowledge). in the DVD extra where laios imagines what would have happened if they'd been on better terms, shuro STILL leaves because he thinks his chances are better with a trained crew (which....... is likely to be true but. look at how he ended up anyway lmao). meanwhile kabru recognises that while the party isnt particularly strong, the reason they get so far in the first place is BECAUSE of what laios knows about monsters. shuro seems aware that laios knows about monsters or has an interest in them, but views this as frivolous and a waste of time and doesn't seem to realise how much this knowledge carried them in the first place

PLEASE do tell about your time travel wip :)

god i love a time travel fic, theyre always so fun, esp when its pre-relationship characters meeting their future established-relationship selves. i think theres enough really really good fics of that nature already out there though, so my one is actually the opposite! a sanji from six years in the future gets devil-fruit-ed back to the merry, where he and zoro are still together. the initial idea focused on the present timeline and zoro trying to stop the breakup before it happens, but i found exploring what could cause them to break up and the fallout of that + going back to your present after having just seen how much love you used to have more interesting. snapshot of said breakup:

Zoro flinches. He presses back in almost as quickly, kissing Sanji again in the hopes of distracting him. It’s too late, though. He’s already been putting it off too long. Sanji pulls away. “I just need some time,” Zoro says with frustration. He grips Sanji's arms to keep him from retreating further.  “Zoro…” “I'm not used to it, that's all, I just need a little more time, Cook!” Desperation curls at the edges of his voice and Sanji feels so much worse.  “We can't keep doing this. It's messing with everyone now.” “I love you.” “I—” A deep breath. Recenter. No distractions. “You know it's not about that. You resent me.” “The fuck I do.” “Maybe not yet, but you will. I understand, too, I—” “It wasn't your fault.” “It doesn't matter! Don’t fucking patronise me! We both know it doesn't matter how it happened, just that it happened. I don't want you to hate me. I don't want to fester in this for years, your resentment and my guilt, and the only thing we have left is bitter and ugly. We deserve better than that. You need to let me go.” “I lo—” “Let me go, Zoro. We can come back from this, for the crew, as crew, but only if we stop now,” he does a poor job of keeping his voice even. His next words are a pleading whisper. “Don't make me hate you.” Zoro blinks once and the wet sheen in his eye is gone. His mouth is a hard line when he nods, short and jerky. He lets Sanji go. It's the worst thing he's had to feel in his entire adult life.

They really do lean in to Ethan being the smarter one the longer the series goes on, don't they? To be fair, he always was *smarter* but Benny at least used to *kinda* try

Back at it again with a sad song to relate to these characters!!!!

This is so!!!! This is so Alex to Jay, or at least how he would want to be to him under better circumstances. Or at least that’s how I saw it.

https://youtu.be/R2zXxQHBpd8?si=-VKZo5PAshjGBfQM

Song is: will he by Joji

you're so right. This is so alex wishing he'd been able to be better to jay. (tho there's also an argument that jay also needed to be better to alex, and cos sorry its locked is all jays pov so far i haven't been able to show that he was also pretty bad for alex just like alex was bad for him. neither of them are the good guy, neither of them are purely a victim, neither of them are purely a 'villain' -can't think of the right word so villain will have to do-)

anyway, analysis thingy

I got knots all up in my chest (Up in my chest, up in my chest) Just know, I'm trying my best (I'm trying my best) 'Cause when you look (When you look) When you laugh (When you laugh) When you smile (When you smile) I'll bring you back (Bring you back) And now I'm sad (Now I'm sad) And I'm a mess (And I'm a mess) And now we high (Now we high) That's why I left (Why I left) That's why I left (Woo)

Pretty simple, just Alex thinking about Jay and how much he really did like him. But Alex was a mess and left Jay for Amy because he didn't know how to cope with his feelings (and with some other stuff I haven't written yet, but i'm ignoring that just so this song will fit with what's already actually out there for this fic)

Will your tongue still remember the taste of my lips? (My lips, my lips, my lips) Will your shadow remember the swing of my hips? (My hips, my hips, my hips) Will your lover caress you the way that I did? (I did, I did, I did) Will you notice my charm if he slips up one bit? (One bit)

Again, Alex thinking about Jay. But also, Alex realising that Tim and Jay are together now from watching the videos Jay uploads, he's watched them slowly get closer, and then one entry something changes and Alex knows that Jay has "moved on". Alex wonders whether Tim hold and kisses Jay the way he did that last night he and Jay were together, and he wonders if Jay thinks of him when Tim messes up. He calls it his 'charm' kinda sarcastically, because he's just kinda caught up in hating himself for what he had to do.

Because unlike in uni (their uni relationship was complicated, i promise I'll write it eventually, just know that Jay did some bad stuff just like Alex did), this time Alex was the only person in the wrong for hurting Jay like he did in chapter 2 of Sorry It's Locked.

'Cause I don't need to know I just wanna make sure you're okay (Okay) I don't need to know I just wanna make sure you're all safe All safe, all safe (woo)

Alex doesn't really want to know if he's left Jay with shit from everything that happened around entry 47 (in chapter 1 and 2), he doesn't want to confirm for himself that he hurt Jay so bad that he's been left with lasting emotional shit. He just wants to know that Jay's okay, that he's safe, but every entry Jay posts just confirms over and over again that Jay is not safe, every entry posted just reminds Alex that everything he did to try and drive Jay away and make him give up on finding out what's wrong with Alex and what's going on with the whole Operator thing.

Everything Alex did was for nothing. He hurt Jay for no reason, and sure, he couldn't have known it at the time, but in his little moments of clarity he realizes that he could have done something else. He could have talked to Jay, he could have asked for help, he could have explained what was going on. He didn't have to hurt him, but he did, and it didn't even achieve what he'd wanted it to. If anything, it just made everything worse because now Jay's got someone else involved.

Will he play you those songs just the way that I did? (I did, I did, I did) Will he play you so strong just the way that I did? (I did) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Will he treat you like shit just the way that I did? (I did, I did, I did) 'Cause I don't blame you

Again, Alex thinking about their relationship, both their uni relationship and their one night stand in chapter 1. He knows Tim and Jay are together now and he can't help wondering what their relationship is like, since they keep it completely off camera except for the odd hickey just barely peeping out from under a shirt collar etc.

He can't help almost hoping that Tim treats Jay like shit, and he hates himself for it, he just wishes he could have Jay for himself but he knows he can't. Do you know what I mean. Like, he doesn't actively wish harm on Jay, and he's constantly trying to think of ways to keep Jay safe and alive, but he also can't help feeling jealous of Tim and wishing he'd treat Jay badly so that Alex could swoop in and 'save' Jay. He knows if that happened though, and Jay would shy away from him too, he wouldn't go running into Alex's arms, he'd just be angry at and scared of both of them and would probably do something stupid and get himself killed.

'Cause I don't need to know I just want to make sure you're okay (Okay) I don't need to know I just want to make sure you're all safe

Same as before, in the end, Alex just wants Jay to be okay, he want's to make up for everything he's done by finding a way to make sure Jay lives, to make sure he doesn't have to kill him.
