#and your generally fine with the criminals as long as you stay in your own lane and use your brain/common sense

[rockyp77mk3]

Right my side lost and your side won. I am trying to understand but I want to know what is the big difference between the Progressives and conservatives? Why do Progressives piss off conservatives so much? We only want equality and fairness.

Thank you for the question. These questions are deceptively simple but they require somewhat complicated answers. I will try.

Oh, I am not just a conservative. I am a Constitutional Conservative which means that the Constitution is considered the supreme law of the land. It is the guide against which all legislation, taxes, regulations, and issues are judged. It applies equally to all and is therefore a protection for all. It can only be changed by amendment and is not subject to any foreign law or restrictions even those promoted by the UN.

Since I like checklists I will try to answer your questions in some kind of order.

Problem solving. When presented with a problem Conservatives try to solve it using known facts and reason. Progressives tend to use spending and regulation. I have never witnessed a Progressive try to solve a problem (Or perceived problem) in any other way than raising taxes or sponsoring legislation that further truncates our individual rights.

Control. Progressives seem to love control, either being in control or being controlled in every aspect of life. They want to tell or be told what people can own, how far people can succeed in life, what people can think, what people can eat, what people can drive, and lets not forget what people should do with the very money they earn. In that last one Progressives are content to confiscate wealth through taxes for redistribution to their liking. Conservative just want to be left alone. We want to keep most of what we earn, we want to enjoy our enumerated rights unfettered by social pressure or governmental overreach. We would like government to literally get the Hell out of our lives.

Lack of tolerance. When a progressive gets an idea they believe it to be so good that it must be shared with (Inflicted upon) others even at the point of a governmental bayonet. Socialism for instance, also limiting 2ND Amendment rights, private property rights, etc. Conservatives don't care what you want to do as long as we are left alone to do what we want to do. If you don't like guns, fine, don't own one. If you want to be a socialist fine, get fifty of your closest friends and create a commune, I wish you luck. Do what ever you like, just leave me and my rights alone.

Happiness. Conservatives seem to be relatively happy. Progressives aren't happy unless they are angry or upset about a situation that either happened over 100 years ago or is an isolated incident, or is just something with which they don't agree. Progressives aren't always right but they are always certain. In that pseudo certitude they are willing to trample any and all rights. Individuals be damned the cause is all.

The US is always wrong. No matter the issue Progressives will unerringly take the side of anything that goes against the US. Progressives will support despots, terrorist groups, rouge nations, and criminal politicians as long as those support the inherent anti US sentiment of the hard left. Conservatives acknowledge that the US makes mistakes, sometimes hideous mistakes but at our core we are generally damn good. For example, if Kamala had won you won't see too many Conservatives wanting to leave the US. We are Americans and will stay and fight to the last.

Equality. Progressive want an equality of outcome. A guarantee that all people will have the same success. They call this "Equity". Conservatives believe that equality means that all people will have a fair chance at success. That hard work, effort, and inventiveness will pay off. You can't ensure outcomes only starting points.

There are more but you get the idea. By the way, Progressives don't piss us off all that much, we just don't want you in charge.

Fate Chapter 02. — Zoro

Roronoa Zoro X OC X Trafalgar Law

The story tells about the encounter between Yuki with Straw Hat Pirates from different worlds and different eras.

After waking up, the first thing you see when open your eyes is a strange room. At first thought it was just a long dream, but nothing changed when you woke up and still in your room on the ship.

The bed was lined with old clothes given by Nami and Robin. There was a bed in the room, a wooden-designed wardrobe and table, and lights hanging from the ceiling. You can also feel the ship rocking slightly as it drifts on the sea.

You lay on the bed and watched the light flicker, "I'm not dreaming."

Suddenly you heard a loud shelling. You felt something was wrong and quickly got out of bed ran out of the room to see what was going on. You ran in the direction of Luffy's loud noise.

The ship is being attacked by cannons, causing the ship to keep shaking. You almost lose your balance but quickly hold on to the wall to maintain your balance. You see two large ships firing at "Thousand Sunny" Luffy's pirate ship, although it's lucky that they didn't hit the ship.

You are all pirates and criminals wandering the sea. You will inevitably encounter any surprises and enemies. Raid also includes the Marine, the World Government's maritime military force responsible for maritime law enforcement and naval warfare operations.

You see that it's Marine's ship that's attacking. Ussop and Chopper are panicking and hiding for cover, Luffy and Zoro are dealing with the cannonballs and Marine.

"It would be unbelievable if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes." You were shocked when you saw Zoro split the cannonball in half with his sword and then returned to Luffy. The splitting shell stayed in mid-air and exploded. You covered your face with your hands to avoid being hurt.

Sanji ran over and took your wrist. "It's dangerous here Yuki-chwan. Don't stand there and find cover!" Before you left with Sanji, you glanced back at the scene where Luffy and Zoro were fighting. You could do nothing but pray hope both of them safe.

Sanji took you to Nami's room for temporary shelter "I'm going to help outside, you two stay here first." Then Sanji left you and Nami then left the room.

You walked back and forth in the room, worried about their safety "I wonder what happened to them..."

"I'll get dizzy if you walk like this. Don't worry, they'll be fine. They'll be done with just a few small soldiers. Just glad it's not the general who takes action himself." Nami sat on a chair, flipping through the newspaper and crossing her legs.

"It happens every day?" You wonder what they go through every day.

Nami closed the newspaper immediately after hearing your question. "Almost every day. It's a daily routine for us. Just leave it to the three of them to deal with it and it'll be fine."

When you listen to Nami talk about, you stop "Really...?"

"I know you are worried about them. We are Nakama, trusting each other is the most important thing." Nami put her hand on your shoulder and smiled.

"I understand." You‘re feeling relieved.

There was a knock on the door and the two of you paused the conversation. You didn't know what the situation was like outside. It might be a Marine invasion. Nami picked up a weapon from the table waved her hand to tell you to take a few steps back. You understood and followed her instructions to step back a little.

Nami turned the doorknob then the door opened slightly. Suddenly a voice came out, "Nami-swannnnn~Yuki-chwannnn~Are you okay~"

You hear this familiar accent "Sanji!"

"Is everyone okay?" Nami put down her weapon.

Sanji proudly lit a cigarette. "Of course. The ship just a little damaged, nothing serious."

You smiled brightly, put your hands on your chest, and let out a sigh of relief as your heart settled down "Great, you're okay."

"Goddess, Goddess~!!" Sanji was so excited, nose started to bleed, he raised his hands and shouted.

Seeing how exaggerated and weird Sanji's reaction was, you and Nami looked at each other couldn't help but laugh. Sanji pressed his hands on chest saw you and Nami's beautiful faces. His heart couldn't stand it any longer.

"Is this paradise?" Sanji danced excitedly.

Nami tapped Sanji's head lightly, "Let's go and clean up. Yuki, change into some light clothes and come back."

You looked at your outfit ,you’re so anxious to run out that forgot to change into a clean set of clothes. You left Nami's room returned to own room. You picked up the clothes on the bed one by one and looked at them. You felt a little troubled.

In daily life, except for going to school and working, you wear a designated uniform. Almost all the tops you wear when going out on the street are simple T-shirts, a jacket, cropped pants or short skirts.

The temporary clothes that Nami and Robin gave you, they were all quite revealing. Thinking of Nami and Robin, most of their clothes show off their waists. Nami's outfit today is a bikini top paired with denim tights.

They traveled across the sea every day, it was understandable that they wore little clothing as the weather was so hot. Luffy just wore a straw hat, an unbuttoned red shirt reveal his figure, and paired it with cropped pants.

Zoro is wearing a green coat, black trousers and black boots. Sanji is in a full suit, Chopper has a furry body and a pink hat. Franky wore a pair of underwear, and Robin wore a simple one-piece short skirt.

Although it may seem revealing to wear less clothes, it is not a bad thing to at least keep cool. Everyone seems to be used to it. Since this is the case, if you want to get familiar with other worlds, you must do as the locals do.

"I'm giving it all..." You sat cross-legged on the bed with sweat on your forehead, staring at the black bikini top and denim shorts.

You untied the bow of your school uniform, unbuttoned your shirt one by one, took off your shirt folded and placed it on the chair aside. Pick up the black bikini top and tie the straps around your body.

After putting on your bikini top, you slightly adjust your breasts with to make them look fuller and more natural. You unzipped and took off your school skirt, putting on a shorts and a pair of black short boots.

You look in the mirror, "I've never worn anything so revealing in my life... In the past, people would have looked at me strangely when they saw this outfit." You sighed helplessly.

The first thing you think about after leaving the room is rush to help clean it. Ussop hurriedly moved a wooden box to the other side. When he noticed you, he immediately braked and stopped.

"Yuki! Bring the two buckets of water over there to Chopper! Thank you!" After saying that, he left in a hurry.

You walked slowly with a bucket full of water in each hand "It's so heavy..."

"Hey, let me get it." Someone took a bucket from your hand from the side.

It was Zoro. He took the bucket without saying anything. You looked at him with a puzzled and ignorant face.

In your dazed state, Zoro noticed that you had changed your clothes. You are wearing a black bikini top that shows your plump breasts, and a pair of shorts that show off your slender legs and your slim waist.

You came into this world wearing a conservative school uniform, but now you are wearing Nami-style clothes. He was used to seeing Nami and Robin or other girls dressing like this, but you were the one who thought it was a bit subtle.

Maybe you come from another world, so he feels fresh and slightly special from your change. Obviously he often sees other people dressed like this but he really thinks you're hot.

In addition, the weather is very hot today, and some hair is stuck to your white and tender skin due to sweating. The sweat drops slowly flow from your forehead to between your breasts, which looks very erotic.

"Zoro?"

When you called his name, he was completely awakened from his daze. "To whom?"

"Ussop said it was for Chopper. Are you okay?" After saying that, you thought about the scene of him fight against Marine just now and a little worried.

Zoro avoided your eyes indifferently "I'm fine." After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Zoro, wait for me." You quickly followed him.

After Zoro put the bucket down, Chopper and Robin began to soak the cloth in the bucket and wring it out before starting to wipe things. When Nami saw you, she called and waved to you. You went over and took the mop to help her with chores.

Franky called Zoro to help move things quickly to help repair the ship. Zoro picked up the plank put it on his shoulder, glanced at you, and started working. Sanji and Brook stood aside to observe you, Nami and Robin's graceful and sexy figures.

"Nami-swan is very dazzling. Robin-chwan is very beautiful. Now Yuki-chwan is so attractive." Sanji said seriously even had a nosebleed.

Brook agreed with what Sanji said, "I have never regretted joining the Straw Hat Pirates in this life."

While you were busy mopping the floor, you accidentally saw an inexplicable scene where Sanji and Brook who had a bleeding nose, high-fived and hugged each other. Knowing what they were thinking, you were speechless and inexplicably amused.

Nami smiled erotically, "Yuki, your figure is really amazing."

You lowered your head looked up from your feet and up again, "Really? I think you and Robin are better."

"Hehehe, Yuki, you have such a sweet mouth." Nami patted your back.

You smiled slightly, "I'm just telling the truth."

"The damage to the ship was small this time, luckily." Nami sighed while hugging the mop.

You nodded "I'm glad everyone is okay."

While everyone was working together to clean the boat, Luffy was jumping over with a bucket of water then accidentally kicked the board and was about to fall. The water splashed on Zoro's back. Zoro put down the board and stretched Luffy's cheeks to quarrel.

"What the hell are you doing!" Zoro angrily grabbed Luffy's collar.

Luffy said "I'm sorry..." with an aggrieved look on his face.

You took a towel and handed it to Zoro who was already wet. "Dry it quickly or you'll catch a cold."

"Marimoooooo that guy." Sanji looked extremely unhappy.

He let go of Luffy took the towel you handed him. He wanted to say "Thanks..." but he hesitated.

"Huh?" You were confused by Zoro who was hesitant to speak now.

He scratched his head "Thanks, Yuki." He said it calmly.

It was the first time you heard him call your name, "You're welcome." You felt very happy.

After a while, the cleaning was completed, to the previous world you cleaned the class after class every day. Thanks to this outfit you can stay cool while cleaning on a hot day.

Nami handed towel to you. The two of you found a place to sit down began to wipe the sweat off your body. After Robin and Chopper finished cleaning, they came over to sit and chat together.

Nami fanned herself, "It doesn't matter if it's hot, it will get even hotter once you clean it."

"That's right, I'm all sweating." Robin wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

"So thirsty~" Chopper lay on your lap.

You gently stroked Chopper's furry fur, "I'm thirsty too."

Sanji excitedly stepped in between the four of you midway. His eyes stared lovingly at you, Nami and Robin. It was like seeing the arrival of a god.

"The three sweating ladies are awesome~ they look even sexier and more charming~" he said excitedly, clasping his hands.

You thought if heard such words in your world, you would call the police. But Nami said Sanji is like this to every girl. Although he is lustful, he still retains a gentleman's demeanor, and very protective of girls so can rely on him more.

"Sanji...I need a cold drink..." Nami fanned herself.

You raise your hand "I want to quench my thirst too."

"Leave it to me! I'll prepare it for you right away~" He ran away excitedly.

Chopper sat up "Arigato, Nami and Yuki. Otherwise I'm going to die of thirst."

"Hehehe, no way." Robin touched Chopper's head.

After a while, Sanji enthusiastically came over with four cups of cold drinks, "My beautiful and lovable ladies, it is difficult for work in this hot weather, so I offer you a cup of my special cold drinks~"

Since you are not used to eating food when you come to their world, you will first make judgments about the appearance of the food. The color of the drink is orange, and you smell a faint orange flavor. You take a sip with a straw in your mouth. It tastes so fragrant and it is an orange-flavored drink.

"Hehehe, it tastes really good." Robin took a sip and tasted it carefully.

Chopper drank the drink in one gulp "It's finally cold~"

"It tastes great!" Nami continued to enjoy the deliciousness of the cold drink.

Sanji looks at you, "How do you like it? Does it suit your taste?"

"It's so perfect that it conquers me." You bit the straw and got intoxicated by the cold drink.

Sanji after hearing what you said he immediately knelt down on one knee and held your hand with a serious look on his face, "Yuki-chwan, although the world between us is far apart, please allow me to come into your heart and protect you for the rest of your life."

"Huh?" You were fooled by his love words.

Luffy came over and interrupted "Sanjiiii~ I want it too~"

"I want it too!" Ussop also joined in the fun.

"Tch! Don’t disturb Yuki-chwan and I's wonderful romantic time!" Sanji suddenly got angry and was super annoyed because Luffy interrupted him.

"Want me to help?" You want to help him.

Sanji let go of your hand then stood up, "Ladies, just enjoy yourself and leave the rest to me." Then he dragged Luffy and Ussop away.

Franky heard Sanji’s special cold drink and said, “Sanji, I want one here too.”

"Is there any frozen wine?" Zoro stopped working.

Sanji lost his temper , "Come and get it yourself!"

A fierce argument after, they followed Sanji go inside to get drinks. You seem very lively as if they are a family taking care of each other.

Nami raised his glass, "This ship's special treatment for women comes from Sanji." She winked at you.

You bit the straw to understand what Nami meant, "Wow, then I'm really honored to be treated like this."

"Do men in Yuki's world treat women like this?" Robin asked you curiously thinking about this question.

Chopper came closer, "I'm curious too, because you seem to be not used to Sanji's personality."

"The men around me generally don't treat every woman like this. After all a sudden thoughtfulness will make you a little wary." You probably explain to them.

Nami stirred her cold drink with a straw. "Is there a lot of danger in your world?"

You put your hand on your chin as if thinking, "Not long ago, I was riding the subway and a male classmate who was about the same age as me spoke to me."

"Then what?" Robin listened carefully and cared.

"During the conversation, he picked up the phone with his other hand took a photo under my skirt." You feel annoyed when you think about it.

Suddenly Sanji heard the content and rushed over, "Really?!"

The other people became curious, each grabbing their own drinks and gathered around to continue listening to your story. Originally it was just you, Robin, Nami and Chopper, but now other boys are also here to listen.

"Wow!!" You were startled.

Robin continued to ask seriously, "Then how do you deal with it?"

You still feel angry when you think back to that incident. "I thought about slapping him, but after found out that the person was the principal's son, they just took money and sent me away. I felt worthless they just use money to deal with the humiliation of me."

You finished speaking and looked at the others, they all looked very unhappy and looked as ferocious as if they wanted to kill someone. Even the cute Chopper’s face is fierce but so cute.

"If I were here, I would make sure that he has no descendants!" Sanji raised his feet and shouted angrily.

"I really want to wring that guy's neck." Although Robin had a kind expression, her words were so dark.

"I must tie him up and sell him!" Nami wanted to sell that kind of person for money.

"I will beat him away for you!" Although Luffy looked happy, he was already clenching his fists and preparing to fight.

"Cut him." Although Zoro just continued casually, he was exuding murderous intent.

"Yohoho, I haven't even seen the bottom of Yuki-san's skirt. I must throw him into the sea and feed it to the monster until he is left with a skeleton." Brook stated his motive.

"That guy will be punished by Captain Ussop!" Ussop held his slingshot weapon.

You were so moved by everyone's reaction that you laughed out loud. Everyone looked confused, knowing that this incident would hurt you. Luffy saw you laughing and he laughed too.

Chopper poked "Yuki, what's wrong?"

You wiped away your happy tears. "I thought to myself if that guy came to this world, he would be beaten to a bloody pulp by you. But now I can't see that guy anymore, so I'm relieved. Thanks for fighting for me."

Franky was moved after hearing what you said, "What a good girl."

"That's exaggerated, Franky." You laughed.

Brook picked up his guitar, "Ahem... Now that everyone is gathered together and welcome the new member Yuki-san, I will sing a song for everyone."

"Brook can sing?" You looked at the voice being prepared to start.

"Yuki-san, I am "Soul King" Brook, a musician and swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates." Brook said proudly, playing the guitar.

"What a cool skeleton!" Your eyes shine.

Brook started his performance singing a song with his guitar, everyone swayed and clapped to the rhythm of the music. It’s really nice to be able to listen to music performances so close. Usually you watch them on TV or on your mobile phone.

He finished his performance you immediately applauded enthusiastically and gave him an "encore!"

"Encore?" Brook was curious what you were talking about.

"Oh, encore means that after the singers, performers and other performers have finished their performance, the audience appreciates the performance and hopes that the performer can return to the stage to continue the performance." You told him the meaning of the word.

"Encore? It's a word that really suits me." Brook's expression showed that was very happy.

"Hey everyone! Let's have an encore!" Luffy jumped up and applauded enthusiastically.

"Encore!" As Luffy and you set the mood, others shouted slogans and applauded warmly, giving Brook a round of applause.

The atmosphere was heated so Brook decided to continue his performance. Luffy was so excited pulled Ussop and Chopper to play hand in hand. Robin and Nami sat aside and hummed happily to the rhythm.

You are immersed in the warm and lively atmosphere now. In the past, when you came home nothing else to do except your homework. Now you can get together with everyone and have fun, as if they have filled your life with colors and emotions.

You are still a little sentimental in your current life. What should do if suddenly return to your own world one day? Just go back to that boring world and study hard every day.

All you can do now is enjoy every minute of living with them. They are a precious treasure and irreplaceable happiness for you. Hope you can have a chance to tell them "I love you Straw Hat Pirates" before go back.

This thought suddenly came into your mind, you felt so sad and choked when you poked a sore spot for no reason. You took the empty cup and left first, not wanting to interrupt their lively atmosphere.

You walked into the kitchen to refill the cold drink that Sanji had just made. You leaned against the table and wiped away the tears that almost fell. You turned around and saw Zoro, who was blocking the door with his hands crossed on his chest.

You catered to him with a smile, "Zoro! Are you coming for a refill too?"

"Yeah." He just said coldly and continued to remain silent.

Picking up the cup, you prepared to leave but he still blocking the door. "Zoro, please make way."

He walked towards you, and felt a little impatient in his eyes. Subconsciously, you immediately started to step back and lean against the table. You held the cold drink in your hands and gulped, wondering what he wanted to do.

His hands were placed on the left and right sides of you on the edge of the table, and his left foot was between your legs. He was so close to you that he was literally right in front of your eyes.

When you first see him, he is a silent man who loves to drink. But when you get so close, you have to look up at him. He is really tall and powerful, with strong muscles and a scar on his eye that highlights his wild side.

You didn’t have the opportunity to see such a strong man so close in your world. You couldn’t help but peek at his figure because of the turmoil in your heart, but his eyes were full of impatience. You still shrank and lowered your head and asked, “Excuse me, what’s wrong? "

He just wanted to ask you why suddenly looked sad without telling everyone what you were thinking. But his body and unconscious attitude toward you were so proactive that he was annoyed by what was wrong with him, now he stopped and felt embarrassed.

He maintained his current posture, thinking about how to speak first, "Are you okay?"

You don't know what his intentions are and feel confused, so you casually say, "I'm just thinking about something."

"Really...Then why do you have this expression?" He has noticed your mood change.

This is the first time someone is willing to listen to your thoughts. You hesitate and try to tell him, "I'm very happy to get along with all of you, but it's just feel a little sad if suddenly have to go back one day in the future."

"Then have more fun." Zoro felt relieved after hearing what you said and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

You smiled brightly, "Okay."

Sanji noticed that you were not there, he excused himself and went to look for you. He was wondering you might be refilling the drink in the kitchen, he saw an inexplicable and unpleasant scene at the door of the kitchen.

"Marimo, what are you doing to Yuki-chwan!" Sanji rushed over.

Sanji used his strength to drag Zoro aside and you were scared and you clenched the glass filled with cold drinks in your hands. You finally got rid of Zoro, but the two of them suddenly dragged each other and started to quarrel.

"What did you do to Yuki-chwan!" Sanji bumped Zoro's head with his forehead.

Zoro bumped Sanji's forehead back without showing any signs of weakness, "Nothing done!"

"Are you kidding me? I see you have bad thoughts about Yuki-chwan." Sanji was annoyed.

Zoro replied unhappily to Sanji, "That's what you think!"

Suddenly someone hit them both on the back of the head with a fist, "Stop it, you two idiots!"

It's Nami! She gritted her teeth, raised her fist with her left hand showed a fierce look, and put her right hand on her waist. You took the drink and ran to hide behind Nami. You took a glance and saw that the two people had stopped arguing.

"What are you two idiots doing!?" Nami was extremely angry.

Sanji pointed his index finger at Zoro "This idiot Marimo is harassing Yuki-chwan!"

"I don't! Perverted chef!" Zoro pointed back at him.

It is conceivable that they really didn't get along with each other and started arguing again.Nami punched them twice to calm them down. Nami sighed and looked at you hiding behind him and asked, "Did Zoro harass you?"

I shook my head, Zoro didn't touch any part of your body. Zoro shook his head wordlessly, and Sanji looked stupid.

Nami clapped her hands, "Okay, since we have nothing to do, let's leave now. Sanji will prepare the ingredients for dinner, and Zoro go do your own thing." After explaining, she left.

Sanji was so angry and his right foot burst into flames, "Marimo..."

"Want a fight?" Zoro smiled evilly and held the scabbard, pushing the sword with his thumb to expose it.

You already think the special effects are cool when you watch Anime, but now you can actually see with your own eyes Sanji's feet can spontaneously ignite flames, and Zoro splits a cannonball in half with a samurai sword.

"Stop! Stop fighting!" You quickly ran to stop them both.

Sanji saw you running over quickly put out the fire "Yuki-chwan! It's dangerous!"

"Hey! You!" Zoro started to panic when he saw you running over.

"It's more dangerous than the two of you fighting! Idiot!" You closed your eyes and shivered, holding the cold drink and shouting.

You are timid and cowardly, but Zoro knows you are strong at heart. Even in a strange world, you still face it with a smile as usual. You are brave enough to take a step to stop them both. He glances at you and sighs, deciding to temporarily call a truce with Sanji. Otherwise he will accidentally hurt you.

Sanji felt extremely relieved when he noticed the cute and timid appearance now. He really couldn't bear to make you sad now,so he chose to stay calm and not argue with Zoro about things.

You opened your eyes to peek, "Are you guys going to stop arguing?"

Zoro snickered, "Idiot. Don't rush out like this next time." After that he left.

"Idiot Marimo, how dare he call Yuki-chwan idiot! But for the sake of Yuki-chwan, I won't care about that Marimo." Sanji took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Phew...that's great." You smiled slightly.

Sanji suddenly grabbed your hands with both hands. "Yuki-chwan really can't rush over suddenly next time. It's dangerous." His expression was very nervous.

You nodded to show you understood.

Sanji gently touched your head, "You are so good Yuki-chwan~" Although he had a cigarette between his teeth, he still smiled at you.

The warm scene was interrupted by Sanji suddenly got a nosebleed and was startled. You panicked and started to run to find Chopper but Sanji pulled to stop you.

He took a clean handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the nosebleed. Your nervous and panic reaction made his heart melt completely, his heart was beating fiercely all the time.

"Sanji?" You tilted your head and looked at him.

He regained consciousness and subconsciously let go of your hand, "Sorry."

"Want me to help with dinner?" You asked politely.

"Leave the work in the kitchen to me. Yuki-chwan, just stay tuned." Sanji put out his cigarette.

Sanji had already started to take out a sharp kitchen knife to prepare ingredients for dinner. You took the cold drink and went back to find the others. You saw Nami and Robin discussing something, and they immediately waved to you when they saw you.

"You've been busy all afternoon. Do you want to take a shower together?" Robin invited you.

"We can have dinner after taking a shower~" Nami stretched.

"Okay." You happily followed them to the bathroom.

You walked to the bathroom together, immediately took off all the clothes and soaked your bodies in the bathtub. All the fatigue you felt disappeared at once, as if you had become one with the bath water.

Sanji brought the fragrant food to the table. Luffy smelled the smell and rushed to grab it, but was stopped by Franky. Everyone was sitting at the dining table waiting for before starting. Only Luffy was drooling.

Luffy murmured and shook his feet impatiently, "Neh... Where are Nami and the others?"

"They taking shower together." Chopper told Luffy.

"Taking a shower together?!" Sanji and Brook yelled.

The two of them imagined the three of you naked taking a bath together, playing in the bathtub, touching each other's bodies and other obscene thoughts.

"The three ladies who caused the crime." Sanji spoke with a serious expression.

"I want to help them brush their backs," Brook said frankly.

"If Nami hears what you two said definitely will be beaten." Ussop added.

When Zoro recalled that your upper body was only wearing a bikini top and shorts, he almost lost control in the kitchen just now, he didn't know why he felt this way.

The image of you sweating kept recurring in his mind, the sweat dripping from your hair slowly sliding from your collarbone to between your breasts. He admitted that you were really erotic but he still resisted the urge.

"It smells so good!" A female voice came from behind.

You, Nami and Robin changed your clothes after taking a shower and walked to the dining table to find others. Not far from the dining table, you can smell the delicious food cooked by Sanji.

Chopper waved from his seat and jumped up. Looking at his cute appearance, you happily ran over to pick him up with your hands and hold him high. He is as innocent, lively and cute as a child, reminding you of the past inadvertently.

You put Chopper back in his place, you saw an empty seat next to Zoro and sat down. Zoro took a sip of wine and glanced at you briefly to see that you were tying a high ponytail with a hair tie.

Look at you again in the off-shoulder top with a one-line neckline, exposing your collarbones and shoulders. He smelled a faint floral scent. The strange thing is that this scent can be smelled on Nami or Robin every day, but it is extra special to have this scent on you.

Luffy snatched a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to chew, "Let's eat!"

Zoro came back to his senses when he heard Luffy's yell, otherwise he would have really fallen deeper and deeper. Maybe it's because of your identity makes you particularly attractive that he has an undue desire for you.

He couldn't figure out why so he chose to give up thinking and just put a bottle of wine into his mouth and started drinking. You were shocked because it was as simple as seeing how strong he was drinking, as if the bottle of wine was just boiled water.

Remembering Luffy's huge appetite, you quickly grabbed some food put it on your plate before he finished eating. You are very happy now and it is really wonderful to be able to live a harmonious life with everyone.

To Be Continued—

💙If you have any ideas leave them in the comment section, and I will try to add in the story.⚠️

[powerpuffobsession]

All this Charlie and Lucifer conflict feels so fake and thrown in for drama points. Because it's hard for me to sympathize when watching two characters who barely have any hardship in their lives, imitate having to go through hardship. That's why I kinda rolled my eyes at "More than anything" part of the episode. No tears whatsoever

The whole daddy issues problem doesn't even make sense from a realistical stand point. You both are non aging, powerful (although Charlie refuses to use her powers, but they are clearly there) beings who barely have any problems in your lives. You were even spared from the exterminations, even though Heavens could have easily disposed of a fallen angel and his off spring a long time ago! (and Charlie just had to abuse that generosity) Everything is just dandy, lots of viewers of Hazbin hotel would kill for a life like that. Sinners who get killed can f*ck themselves. They are criminals, after all

Lucifer, I understand being upset the first few years after your wife left. But seven years? Wouldn't that get old? When you are a powerful being who has an already grown up daughter who doesn't need to rely on you, unlimited resources and his own kingdom (that he got for screwing up humanity, mind you)? Overkill much. Just find yourself a new love or go fix your damn hell ring and maybe ensure that rapists actually go to the boiling pot instead of owning a glamorous business to thrive on

Charlie is less guilty than her father, as he did ignore her and failed to teach her basic skills of standing up to herself and ruling a place. If a rich guy fails his kids that way, he's trash, because like, dude you've got resources and time, just use them to do bare minimum for your child. So Charlie's problems with running the hotel make sense (even though if she truly was passionate about helping someone, she would have made an effort to plan it out more properly so that the redemption doesn't happen by accident in a damn war)

That way, Lucifer's complaints about his life make me want to just roll my eyes. Even back in heaven he had one job of not giving the humans the damn fruit, I sincerely doubt that he, as one of the seraphims had no idea of the consequences of that. If he didn't wreck up his siblings' work, he would have still be living in Heaven. And, as I mentioned earlier, he didn't even get punnished properly for the fruit incident - wings still intact, all his powers and the ability to just magic up any goods out of thin air or to defend himself against a freaking angelic exorcist, let alone sinful criminals, is still there. So what's the problem?

Generally, what stops both Lucifer and Charlie from communicating/meeting each other? They never had any sort of fight that would have made their relationship truly sour, and Lucifer is not a heartless calculating abusive father he was believed to be in the pilot era. Charlie is barely loaded with the hotel work, she basically just plays trust games with sinners, and that's all

They like, stay away from each other when they have no reson to and then whine about it. Duh, some irl families who are actually struggling with life and actually have little time and vital strength do communication better than a fking rich magical seraphim and his daughter

And yes i'm jealous of a cartoon fallen angel. In canon biblical lore, Lucifer is actually punished for his actions. But not this Lucifer. You say Adam is spoiled? And least with him there's a possibility that he had to survive on Earth and go through some serious crap before earning his place on Heaven. Lucifer meanwhile can shelter himself in his castle for 7 years wasting time making ducks and be just fine! I even dare say, he fakes his depression because he thinks it's cool or smth. Put the guy on a minimum wage job and other difficulties of a normal human life, and the pussy'll just die

Can I request a rottmnt platonic Mikey and leo(separately) react to a reader who is polite, kind but also mature , and responsible, but when they hang out iwth thier childhood best friend they become mischievous, kind and is very attentive to thier friends wants and needs, you can always see them holding hands and being pda with them. Reader uses words of affirmation, gift giving, pda, and sometimes kisses thier forehead at times. While friend is mischievous, friend gets themselves Into trouble a lot and reader has to pull them out but reader doesn't mind because they like thier mischievous fun adventures. Sorry if it's too long-

You're fine! Sorry for the long wait ^^ I got confused on if you meant Mikey was the childhood friend or they were a different person? So I assumed they were a different person. Concept as it was not specified. Bit over specific so I'll try to keep it a bit more general.

Yandere! Platonic! Michelangelo (2018) with Darling who has a childhood friend

Short Concept

Pairing: Platonic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Jealousy, Sabotage, Obsession, Possessive behavior, Manipulation, PDA mention.

Mikey may be a bit jealous, but also finds this connection you have cute.

For the most part.

Mikey thinks it's cool you have a childhood friend!

He's always been a sucker for sentimental connections.

The mutant also trusts you won't replace the connection you have with him.

He desperately wants to meet your friend, excited to see them.

His jealousy kicks in when he sees how you two act with each other-

When Mikey was listening to you talk to them, he expected you were close.

Not this close.

Mikey thought he was the closest one to you....

You don't do any of that PDA stuff with him!

He wants to hold your hand.

He wants you to give him gifts.

He wants to get a kiss on the head.

He wants that connection!!!

Seeing your childhood friend get all this attention makes him so envious.

He used to be so excited meeting them.

Now he just feels they will replace him!

"How come WE aren't that close!?"

He just doesn't get it.

You'll even notice him crossing his arms and pouting when he sees you so affectionate towards them.

What's even worse?

With them you're even more reckless.

Safety is no joke! Now he has to parent you.

It's slightly amusing to anyone who sees you three.

You're trying to pull your childhood friend out of trouble while Mikey is trying to guide you away from it in the first place.

Why don't you let them learn from their mistakes!?

Stop being pulled into their problems!

The smaller turtle quickly despises this friendship you have with your friend.

They're a danger to you!

Why do you stick with them!?

Mikey hates lying.

Although... your safety comes first.

Mikey would probably sabotage your relationship in favor of strengthening his own between you.

He'd frame them, showing you just how dangerous they really are.

Would you really help them if they were a criminal?

It hurts him to realize he broke a close friendship....

He's guilty for a long while... but he's also always been competitive.

It was for the best, anyways.

If you stayed with them any longer then you could've gotten hurt.

You should be happy your dear pal Mikey saved you.

After his plan, Mikey cranks up the affection.

He tries to mimic the close affection you had with that old friend of yours.

Already in a bad space mentally, you don't fight it.

Mikey's stuck by you ever since...

He's the closest friend you have now.

"It's a shame they turned out to be such a horrible person... it's okay, I'm here to help you!"

[solarianvoidthearoace]

Okay, listen– Listen! Seeing videos like this I can’t dislike Ran, she’s a strong and powerful female character. She’s badass and she’s iconic and an inspiration for little girls. (Not kidding.)

She can fight, she powers through, she can knock down guys like houses of cards. She is a certified badass woman and inspiring both due to her femininity combined with her martial arts proficiency. Because she is feminine and still wipes the floor with your average criminal.

She is whiny at times, pining for “her” Shinichi but that’s fine, I can handle a whiny main girl and strong lead woman character if they are one and the same.

I am not much of a fan of her pining and her getting whiny/ crying for Shinichi every chance she gets. Still, I respect her as a strong female character.

However, towards the end of the video… those are the scenes why I – personally – consider ShinRan to be toxic and borderline abusive.

I had originally posted this in a reblog on my KID movie poll but finding this video gave me an incentive to make it its own post.

Aside from this video, one example is the after-credit of movie 3 with Ran straight-up threatening to physically abuse Shinichi. Like, folks, that’s my main reason I dislike her.

Ran started out as a strong female character, which is awesome, but over the years she descended to 1) “Save us, Shinichi!~” and 2) physically abusive

I get that she’s whiny at times and while I generally dislike whiny characters (see Martin from TMA), I can handle that

I can handle the Main Girl(tm) being whiny and pining for Shinichi

But that drive to keep her a strong female character who needs no man lead to her being increasingly physically abusive. She cries and pines, fine.

But then Shinichi does show up and what does Ran do? Either first thing, she hits him for being away for so long. Or she slaps/ hits him when he tells her he has to go back to his case and can’t stay. I understand her upset, I understand her pining.

Nobody has a right to vent their upset through physical abuse, though.

But a girl who can knock down a lamp-post, who can kick a man trough a window, ESPECIALLY has no right to raise her hand against her love-interest!

That’s one of the first things every martial art ever teaches you, do not resort to violence if there is even a sliver of another safe option.

I get that Kogoro knocking Conan about was played for shits and giggles, it’s a thing of that time when the manga/ anime started out. And accordingly Ran venting her upset through physical violence also was a product of that time and result of portraying her as the strong/ physically tough lead girl.

But she is his love interest for crying out loud and among many other scenes the after-credit of movie 3 emphasises that Shinichi is scared of her hitting him as soon as he gets back.

That’s not funny!

Physical abuse is not funny. And a strong female character directing physical abuse at her no-show love interest doesn’t make it funny.

My main ship always has been and always will be KaiShin. But I also know that would never become canon because DCMK doesn’t do queer. It’s “kid-friendly”, it can’t do queer.

But for goodness’ sake do I wish – desperately wish – the Main Couple became MasuShin instead. Masumi is on-par with him, she’s quick-witted, she’s silly, I love her queer vibes, and she understands/ encourages Shinichi every step of the way.

That’s another thing! Ran despises Shinichi’s work. It’s a common motive in fanfic (hence played up) that she forbids him from taking cases. But her dislike for his work – his passion his calling – is there.

I just can’t see ShinRan be healthy. And that opinion hasn’t changed in the 14 years I have been watching Detective Conan.

Edited to add:

I also want to clarify that I am not basing my opinion off the movies (alone), in fact, any DCMK movie outside the KID movies, movie 3 specifically, and movie 18 onwards, I haven’t watched in years. I am referencing movie 3 specifically because I recently watched it but this behaviour certainly is in the anime/ manga/ canon as well. The London Arc, that restaurant date in a skyscraper where he stood her up and Conan had to apologise (which also got used for an opening/ ending), the early episodes where Shinichi makes a comeback, the “Murder Suspect: Kudo Shinichi” Arc where he hides from Ran, and that’s just off the top of my head because I was on a fandom-hiatus for around 2 years and don’t care enough for ShinRan to rewatch these things.

I’m so sorry (sarcasm) that I didn’t provide receipts for my critique of Ran. But I’m also not about to go through the series for the entire purpose of making an itemised list of Ran abusing/ hitting Shinichi. If I do a rewatch from the early episodes on, I might keep a notepad handy and jot down the instances of Ran smacking Shinichi but don’t hold your breath because I tend to avoid the romance-heavy episodes in general, no matter the pair.

[sarroora]

So we know about the darker, realistic parts of your fic, but how about the softer, more loving parts? As in, what parts do you like, and what parts do you want to see more of?

ASFFHJKLFKHLDKL I could go on and on about this, but I had to cut the monologue short(er) bc it's 2:30am and I gotta go to bed lol

Let me preface by saying some of my own favorite moments between the characters haven't been published yet.. 🔥👀 So stay tuned~

As for the General stuff:

The main thing I love about the series in general, and bake into CGaL is how much those cats love each other but not only that, they're loved by many in their neighborhood as well.

People can sigh and moan about their antics all day, but there's a sense of community amongst the residents of Precinct 13. And they ain't gonna take some punkass criminals harming their communal cats lyin' down.

I have a lotta fun reading old articles and interviews on TC because everyone always agrees on how soft-hearted T.C. remains in spite of everything. Of course I think everyone’s entitled to write these characters in their stories however they interpret them but like, I'll admit there’ll be this part of me who’ll side-eye anyone who writes T.C. as 'mean' by default because I have no idea where they got that from lol XD The gang owns him. And Benny's the best one at approaching him especially with the Big Asks that they know he'll keep rejecting until he eventually cracks.

T.C.'s both intelligent and likable, a deadly combo if he was THAT kinda guy. And unlike many other cats in the city, he can survive on his own. He technically doesn’t really need other cats on the long run. But that’s not what the gang’s about for him. He’d probably get things done a lot faster by himself and he'd be super light but he’s ridiculously soft for his boys. They make plans more complex and they're literally dependent on him but they're everything to him.

(Side note, it’s both extremely funny and extremely endearing to me how the first thing T.C. will do for anyone joining the group is to feed them. Literally. He’ll make a fine Italian grandma one day )

In spite of everything, T.C. genuinely likes Dibble and considers him a part of their lives, and someone ‘replacing’ him is out of the question, like the situation with Prowler. Anyone badmouthing Dibble is a walking red flag and is immediately on T.C.'s list of 'snakes'.

It's what Dibble does and represents that complicates things. T.C. flouts the law and sees it as a blind tool that only makes some people stronger and others more invisible and forgotten. Dibble has to be professional, unbiased and do his job with integrity, but boy, is it hard sometimes. He can't help but love the gang almost to the point of irrationality and it's thanks to his great reputation that his more astute colleagues don't hold this over his head or take advantage of it.

Needless to say, Dibble doesn't have the same hang-ups as T.C., and is much more open with his emotions.

As the story progresses, it'll become clearer that life on the streets shaped T.C. and G.P. very differently. One’s greatest desire is to have a close family and live freely, and the other’s is to never have to feel invisible and powerless again

Some Specific moments:

G.P. didn't truly get it, what it does to T.C. when he threatened Spook's life. Happened in Chapter 6, will probably happen again later at a worse scale, because by then he knows how much it affects him

T.C. and Benny's closeness, physically and emotionally especially during the hospital stay

Although not mentioned outright in the story, T.C. absolutely loves Tony's elderly parents. Staying with the man at the family home for a month also just massively grew his affection for Tony

Tony's photo of the gang

Dibble and T.C. on the bridge. Dibble growing even more fond of T.C. and genuinely wanting to understand where he comes from

T.C. absolutely NOT having it when Saber tried to drag Spook's name into a murder he didn't commit. He was pissed, knowing a dozen cops were listening in on the other side of the window

With both Spook and Choo Choo gone, and him blowing up at Fancy, T.C. feels an obligation to keep it together, for Benny and Brain, but the stress and the feeling of powerlessness was becoming debilitating. Dibble had to hold up a mirror to his face metaphorically speaking to show him how he was cracking under the pressure and not really helping anyone. T.C. couldn’t deny it any longer and had to accept his help

And you Anon, what parts do you like or want to see more of?

Act 1, Scene 3 of Twisted Veronaville: Entering the Hero

THE LAST PAGE

"For never was a story of more woe, than this of Juliette and her Romeo."

Ripp: Ugh, finally. I'm done reading this stupid book...now I can finally go to sleep.

Ripp: Zzzz....

???: Okay, so now we just have to find the Grunt house...wow, this sure brings back memories!

???: You really need to tell me more about this place later.

???: Well, of course!...let's just go to the Grunt house and get Tank.

???: Hold it right there!

???: Crap! It's General Buzz!

???: If you're going to take one of my sons, at least take the middle one...or even the youngest one. Not Tank. He's the only one I care about.

???: Wow, you really just...straight up admitted that, out loud.

???: You're seriously going to give away your kid like that?

???: Why not? He's a waste of space, anyway. I doubt he'll accomplish anything good in the future...I'll even give you $500 to never bring him back! How about that?

???: Wow. You're not even going to try to hide it...

???: I can't believe you'd say something so terrible about your own kid.

???: Do you want him or not? If not, I can just take you to jail for an attempted kidnapping. I'm sure that nerd you have a crush on would love a man with a criminal record.

???: How did you even know?...ugh, fine. We'll take him.

Sita: Good morning! I get that you're tired, but we've got a long day ahead of us. Aktu's preparing pancakes!

Ripp: Ugh...give me like...five minutes...Hang on...WHERE AM I? WHO ARE YOU?

Sita: Hey, hey! Don't panic. We're not going to hurt you! Your dad handed you over to us-

Ripp: HE GAVE ME AWAY?

Sita: Yeah, sorry. If it helps, your dad really sucks. Probably one of the worst people I've ever met, and I stayed in Pleasantview for a whole year.

Ripp: Thanks, it's reassuring hearing that from someone else...so, why am I here?

Sita: Go get ready first. We'll explain it over breakfast.

Aktu: So here's what's going to be happening...You're in the town of Veronaville, the city where Romeo and Juliette takes place. You read the book, right?

Ripp: Unfortunately yes. Finished it yesterday.

Aktu: Good, so I don't have to explain the plot to you. Everything from that book will happen here. Your job is to prevent everyone from dying.

Ripp: Is this a weird dream I'm having?

Sita: Nope! All real. Do you have any questions?

Ripp: Yeah! Several, actually! Why can't you do this yourself?

Aktu: Because we're both adults, and we can't really go around talking to teenagers about their love lives.

Ripp: Fair.

Sita: We trust that you'll be able to accomplish this, Ripp? We'll provide any support that you need, along with money, basic needs, and any materials you'll need to complete your mission.

Ripp: Sure!...what happens if I fail, though?

Aktu: We'll harvest all of your organs and sell them on the black market.

Sita: Aktu, don't scare him! It's okay if you fail. You'll just have to live with the guilt...but anyway! Let us know if there's anything you need, at any time.

Ripp: Well, there's one thing I'd like right now...

Aktu: Is this okay? Sorry. It's been a while since I've styled someone before.

Ripp: Better than I could've done! Thanks!

Aktu: ...I'm glad you like it. Oh, and that also reminds me...my old friend mentioned that his nephew told him that you really liked music, so Sita and I did some research and bought you a guitar. I hope it's of good quality...

Ripp: (I'm guessing the nephew was Johnny, but-OH SHOOT! Johnny! He and Ophelia probably just found out that Dad gave me away! They're probably worried about me right now!)

Aktu: Are you okay?

Ripp: Yeah, it's just...I have friends back home.

Aktu: Oh, don't worry! You can still call them. We can even organize visits too, just...make sure not to stray too far from the mission. Sita forgot to mention this, but we will be rewarding you with a million dollars if you succeed.

*DING DONG*

Aktu: Huh, weird. We weren't supposed to be getting visitors today...SITA! GO SEE WHO IT IS!

Sita: I AM ALREADY! YOU DON'T NEED TO YELL!

Viola: Hello. I'm Viola. I noticed you just moved in, and I wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood.

Sita: (Another welcome wagon? Where's everyone else?)...Nice to meet you too, Viola. Would you like to come in?

Viola: I can?...Thank you. Is it okay if I use your bathroom?

Sita: Go for it.

Viola: Thank you. I'll pay you back, I promise.

Sita: You really don't need to worry about it...

As unusual the start of the day was, our hero was adjusting fairly well to the world of Veronaville. He had yet to meet most of the characters from the story he was meant to rewrite, but that wasn't really his main concern at the moment.

Ripp: Sita, can I ask you something? Do you know how I can get in contact with my friends back home?

Sita: Of course! You can just use the phone to call them. We can also take you to Strangetown, also...if you need to go to other places too, we can drive there as well.

Ripp: Well, I've always wanted to go to Pleasantview.

Sita: No! Literally anywhere BUT the Bad Place! If you want to go there that badly, just ask Aktu to take you. I am NOT going back there again!

Ripp: (It can't possibly be that bad, can it?)...Okay. Sounds good...

Day darkens into night, and as our hero chats away with his newfound guardians, Romeo and Juliette were having yet another "secret" meeting.

Romeo: Juliette! It's so nice to-OW! What was that for?

Juliette: I hear footsteps. Your brother's here, isn't he? Tybalt already knows, and I don't want more people knowing either.

Mercutio: You were trying to keep your relationship secret? I never would've thought from you two literally making out right on the front lawn where everyone could see you.

Juliette: Shut up! Nobody asked you!

Romeo: Yeah! Why are you even here, anyway?

Mercutio: Taking out the trash because SOMEONE forgot to do it earlier today.

Romeo: Oops.

Juliette: So you're taking out yourself? About time.

Mercutio: Nice try, but I've heard more original insults from Tybalt. You really need to step up your game...where is he now, by the way?

Juliette: Why would you care?

Mercutio: Just wondering.

Juliette: Sure you are. Anyway, Romeo, Grandpa's hosting a party at our house tomorrow. You can come by, if you want, as long as you don't fight Tybalt again.

Romeo: HE fought ME!

Juliette: Yeah, but you know what I mean! Just...try to remain civil.

Mercutio: Can I come?

Juliette: Absolutely not.

Mercutio: (I'm coming anyway!) Boo...

17. there should be more of this type of fic/art:

I feel like half of my posts are just "there isn't enough fic with x" but my real answer to this is LESBIAN XIYAO. LESBIAN XIYAO with plot!! Lesbian Xiyao that isn't either a g-rated sweet one-shot or pwp. More of this now please.

18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...

My girl Jiaojiao. To be fair I haven't done anything for her except for one big meta post but. There should be more Jiaojiao content, especially more like. long-form stories where she somehow Survives and the story becomes a comedy from her perspective.

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing:

I am so so tired of the complaints about "x characters fans" and like "how could you thing x character [thing it's pretty reasonable to expect a lot of fans to think if you've been in any fandom before or paid attention to the source material]. In general I'm a pretty live-and-let-live person in fandom, I stay in my lane and don't flip out if someone engages with a story in different ways than me, or gets something different out of it. If they're really annoying on my posts I block and move on, and if I need to kvetch I make my own post. But like... idk I find complaining constantly about how other people engage with a story or with characters to be kind of stupid. On the one hand, how is anyone surprised that villains tend to attract followings? Are you new here? Where did we lose you? On the other hand, it shouldn't be shocking that a lot of people who latched onto the protagonist and the main canon ship and don't care to explore the ways in which the antagonist also had points. And part of like "have fun and be yourself" is letting other people also do that, and if it's off-putting, which is fine, curating your own engagement rather than bemoaning that they aren't doing this to your standards. Idk. I also am sick of complaints about cql being the root of all bad takes because I think thats lazy, snobby, inaccurate, and unfair.

[bellewintersroe]

a ship from you would make me the happiest girl in the world. as much as i am a simp for the bob cast i am first and foremost a simp for your writing and that fact remains constant and unchanged

i am a 21 year old intj 1w9. i'm 5'8 with brown hair (plus some highlights), brown eyes and skin that lightens in the cooler months and tans in the summer.

personality-wise i'm meticulous about structure, keeping organised etc and like to make sure i have multiple different plans in place for everything but if it comes down to it i can make sound decisions if i have to improvise and be spontaneous. i grew up as the only child so i'm used to figuring things out on my own and i generally have a stiff upper lip that obliges me to stay independent (no agonising personal lore or anything it's just the way i am). i have a somewhat sarcastic sense of humour and can warm up to people and enjoy banter easily and i like to think i have jokes 😌✨ but i'm an introvert who recharges by spending time on my own. i consider myself to be fairly efficient and one of my favourite things in the world is the feeling of contentment at the end of a productive day.

i do quite a few sports, incl. track and field, clay target shooting, sailing, golf, tennis, baseball and basketball. my hobbies include reading and writing (the given ones considering we are all here), backpacking, playing the guitar, learning new random skills, going out for walks/jogs while listening to music, beating friends who don't know how to play chess at chess and the occasional pub crawl. i sometimes sing but i have very limited range.

i'm currently finishing up my final year of university where i'm studying english and will be going onto graduate school to study a masters in literature and arts in september!

please only do this if you have time i love you and your writing so much

Thank you so much !!!! Of course I’d love to do a ship for you, thank your for all your support I appreciate you sm <3 <3

I ship you with… Captain Ronald Speirs 😈

Okay the second I read this I knew I was going to match you with Ron. Either him or Lewis, but I can see so many similarities between the two of you.

first of all I feel like your features being a similar colour would make you look so good together. Ron is fairly tall himself, I’m assuming around 6ft, so he’d still be taller than you.

I feel like he’d be a lover of your height, I’m assuming you have long legs and he’d fine that superrrrr sexy, like he has to try his best not to check you out during PT sessions.

I feel like Ron would first see you when you’re jogging or on a run, maybe training or doing Currahee. He’s super impressed, but obviously he can’t say or do anything about it because he has to remain professional, plus he’s from a different company than you are originally, so he doesn’t have a CLUE who you are.

for a while I think he’d definitely admire you form afar. Your independence and intelligence is something Ron finds admirable. Plus you’ve got those athletic long legs and cowjfoodwoiw he’s averting his eyes once again.

Of course you’d know him, the man, the myth and the legend himself. I think after a while in the war, he’d be a little worried you’d heard the rumours about him and view him as some war criminal so he definitely steers away.

When he becomes Easy’s commanding officer in Foy, I feel like the two of you would interact more, and because he’s noticed you from afar he feels NERVOUS.

Ofc he’d never let this on because he’s your CO he can’t. Hence why I think in future a lot of interactions between you is done in private.

You sound like you have a super good sense of humour, and I feel like your sarcasm and banter would go well with many of the men in Easy, especially those like Luz, Liebgott, Guarnere- so you’re a very popular, prominent figure in the company.

Ron may overhear some things you say and find himself smirking along- you’d catch him and share small glimpses that literally would send fires igniting in your throats.

When the war in Europe is declared over, I feel like you’d spend a lot of time alone outside to unwind. The weather is beautiful and you could pass your time reading or writing. Ugh that sounds like such a nice way to relax and recharge your social battery.

one day there’s something blocking the sunlight from you, and you’d glimpse up and almost SHOUT from being startled that Ron Speirs is stood above you.

I think despite him feeling a little awkward at first, he’d never let this on, but he’d maybe approach you to say he’d found a book you dropped or something casual. It’s a PERFECT conversation starter, and I think the two of you would warm up to one another pretty quickly once the conversations start.

I can picture it being an early morning, the sun is rising and you can tell it’s gonna be a warm summers day, so you go for a jog, and bump into Speirs doing the exact same thing. He’s all breathless and sweaty and omfg no he looks too good.

you’d end up walking to grab a drink together, maybe you end up sharing the same water bottle or something intimate, and you can both tell there’s an immediate spark between you two.

similar to you, Ron feels the exact same contentment at the end of a productive day, so I think even if you’re still friends, you’d complete tasks together, you’d grow closer and everybody in the company can see- but anything more than that is kept behind closed doors.

I think Ron would be pretty upfront with his emotions, when he knows he knows, and he’s not afraid to tell you. He’s confident with his emotions specifically around you, and he hopes the same in return from you.

the relationship would be a slow burn, but that makes it all the more exciting and loving and sensual omfg he fancies tf out of you. He’s a patient man, so never rushes or pushes you into ANYTHING.

I feel like when he’d kiss you it would be so deep and so passionate every single time, he’d be cupping your face, holding your head- omg he’s too good I can’t.

but if you need time for yourself he’s the first person to respect that- he too craves alone time to recharge, so even if you’re sat in the same room just doing your own thing it’s perfect for Ron.

however, I think Ron would slowly become to realise how attached to you he is. He’s not clingy or annoying, but all I’m saying is that he’s a HUGE fan of cuddling and physical touch. He finds nothing more intimate than being close to you whenever he can.

He spent the whole war trying to emotionally detach from humans, and then with you he can’t outwardly show his emotions in front of anybody else, so at the end of the day he loves nothing more than just being able to wrap himself around you in bed and engulf you in the biggest hug ever.

would snake his arm around your waist when he’s behind you and keep you close, pressing kisses to your cheek in the most gentle manner ever.

fakes sulking when you’re sarcastic with him, but he’s surprisingly good at bantering- the man can be ruthless so I can imagine the two of you having a great laugh.

I feel like the two of you would work out together or go for runs, whenever you’d play any form of sporty game there’s always a competition between the two of you which is so so fun.

whenever he hears you singing he thinks your a god damn Angel, he feels like he’s gone straight to heaven and finds it super relaxing. Maybe he’d even tear up over it, but he never lets you know that…

I just feel like the two of you together would truly be perfect, you’d have such a relaxed and tranquil relationship, I truly believe Ron is such a gentle man and lover- so he’d be so soft with you. Then again, I believe he’s got such a playful cheeky side to him which balances you out perfectly, you’d have such a laugh together and he would truly admire you like no other.

DETAILS;

they say that blood is thicker than water - for tian feng, this rang true. born to honorable parents, leaders in the chinese court with a decorated war hero as a father and a well-respected socialite among the high nobility, tian feng was primed just as his elder brother was for the stage of the great. there was never any question about who, or rather what, tian feng would be; he && his brother were to be enlisted when they were old enough, to make their ancestors proud, and to serve china as every zhang before them had done. xiaobo, his elder brother of three years, was a wildfire, creating flame anywhere he went. tian feng learned early on how to find peace; and it came from obedience. raise to the occasion, do as is expected, and know how to mind one's tongue, and follow authority. he was a shining image of this - but even tian feng thought eventually, xiaobo would get on board with the performance, too. unfortunately, he did not. instead of enlisting in the naval army as expected when he turned 18, xiaobo left. taking his share of the family fortune and taking off, tian feng was then left alone to deal with the devastation and wrath that followed from his parents following. his mother wept when the decision was made to disown xiaobo, who was registered then as a criminal. tian feng didn't even know where he went after he left - he didn't care to know. after that, his father was never the same. later, tian feng would recognize that it was mourning gone wrong, but suddenly, every bit of expectation and pressure was directed onto tian feng. he was enlisted by the end of the year, lying about his age on registration forms. at only sixteen, tian feng began his military career in the navy. it was a fairly quick climb up - coming upon eleven years of service soon, he has been promoted through the ranks over the years for excellence. now he works along side the eldest prince of china himself, angelo - and oh, tian feng revels in the glory of it all. a public ceremony to award him a medal of courage, a celebration when he became the youngest ever promoted within the ranks of the navy, well, tian feng felt he had it all. what he has coming will shake his world to it's core... he was never his father's son. he was the son of the emperor. a result of a long-standing affair that had taken place for dozens of years between his own mother, and the emperor himself. when tian feng comes to realize his true origin, several doors will appear for him to consider exploring. will he let the truth come to light, and join the race to win favor with the emperor, and ascend to the throne of china? for tian feng, he feels it is his calling to be something great - to grow beyond the confines of his upbringing, to achieve something bigger than he is. but what if not all of china takes well to a bastard son, even if he is a beloved hero of war?

What Happens When A Post-Study Work Visa Ends In The UK?

After your studies are over, it's time to find a job in the UK. But which visa should you apply for? There are many options, and in this article, we will explain everything you need to know about applying for a post-study work visa.

Apply for a Tier 2 (General) visa to find a skilled job in the UK

If you’re looking to work in the UK, a Tier 2 (General) visa could be your best bet. The Tier 2 (General) visa is for skilled workers who want to apply for permission to stay and work in the UK. You must also have at least £945 of savings or equity if applying from outside Europe, but this can reduce depending on how long you plan on remaining in the UK.

The Tier 2 (General) visa allows graduates with no job offer in the UK but who are sponsored by an employer or self-employed person who has offered them employment rights under their sponsorship agreement. It also allows those who do not have such agreements but have been offered jobs with companies operating within certain sectors (such as banking).

What happens when a post-study work visa ends?

Anyone who wishes to remain in the UK after that time has passed and their post study work visa has expired must submit an application to switch to a "general work visa" (also known as a "skilled work visa"). Your position must be eligible for a Tier 2 visa, also known as a "general work visa," in order to qualify.

Types of visas you can apply for after your post-study visa ends

If your post-study work visa ends, you should check if you are eligible for another type of visa.

The main types of visas available to international students at the end of their studies in the UK are:

Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur Visa - This is a personal skilled worker visa for those who want to set up their own business or work in partnership with an existing business. It will allow them to live and work in the UK for up to two years before they need to apply again. You can also choose this option if you want more time on your residence permit (i.e., how long it takes before your permanent residence status starts).

Tier 2 (General) Visa - This allows people from outside Europe or North America who have lived abroad for less than five years or who have been invited by their employer into Britain as highly skilled employees because of their skills. 

Apply for a Start-up visa if you're starting a business in the UK

After your post-study work visa ends in the UK, you can apply for a Start-up visa. If you're a non-EEA national and want to start a business in the UK, it's worth considering applying for a Start-up visa. This visa is available for people who have either:

£50,000 in investment funds (you can also use your own money)

An innovative idea for their new business

The post-study work (PSW) visa has been succeeded by the Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur and Tier 2 (General) visas, which became the main route for students who want to stay in the UK after graduation.

The post-study work visa has been succeeded by the Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur and Tier 2 (General) visas, which became the main route for students who want to stay in the UK after graduation.

The Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur visa is for students who want to start their own businesses in the UK. If you are applying for this type of visa, it's important that your application is supported by evidence of financial capability (e.g., bank statements). 

This can be obtained through submitting a verified savings account statement and/or bank statements from two consecutive months before submitting your application. 

However, if you don't have any such documents, then we recommend you submit at least one month's salary instead as evidence of income when applying for this type of visa. 

You also need proof that there are no previous criminal convictions on your record, such as police cautions or fines paid out under "community service orders" issued by courts during childhood/early adulthood.

You can see for yourself and apply for your preferred visa to stay and work in the UK and experience the vast career opportunities offered by this beautiful and amazing country!

Carding Laws: Know Your Legal Boundaries

In the digital age, where online transactions have become the norm, it is crucial for individuals and businesses alike to understand the legal boundaries surrounding carding. Carding refers to the act of using stolen credit card information to make unauthorized purchases. It is a serious offense that can lead to severe legal consequences. As a responsible website owner or user, it is essential to be well-informed about carding laws to ensure compliance and protect yourself from potential legal troubles.

Understanding Carding Laws

Carding laws vary from country to country, making it necessary to familiarize yourself with the specific regulations in your jurisdiction. While I am not a legal expert, I can provide you with a general overview of some common legal principles surrounding carding.

Fraudulent Intent: Carding involves fraudulent activities, as it revolves around the misuse of someone else's credit card information without their consent. Engaging in such activities is illegal in most jurisdictions and is typically categorized as fraud.

Theft and Unauthorized Access: Unauthorized access to another person's credit card information is considered theft. The act of acquiring or using stolen card details, even if it is only to test their validity, can result in criminal charges.

Conspiracy: Participating in or facilitating carding activities, even without direct involvement in the actual fraudulent transactions, can still make you liable under conspiracy laws. Sharing or selling stolen credit card information can be seen as aiding or abetting criminal activities.

Jurisdictional Variations: Each country has its own set of laws and penalties related to carding offenses. It is crucial to consult local legal resources or seek professional legal advice to fully understand the specific regulations in your area.

The Consequences of Carding

The legal consequences of engaging in carding activities can be severe, and they may vary depending on factors such as the scale of the offense, the jurisdiction, and any previous criminal history. Here are some potential consequences individuals may face:

Criminal Charges: Carding is a criminal offense, and if caught, individuals may be prosecuted under fraud, theft, or conspiracy laws. Convictions can result in hefty fines, probation, or even imprisonment.

Civil Liability: Aside from criminal charges, victims of carding may pursue civil lawsuits to recover any financial losses incurred. This can lead to substantial monetary damages being awarded to the affected parties.

Reputational Damage: Engaging in illegal activities can have long-lasting consequences for one's personal and professional reputation. Being associated with carding can harm your credibility and make it difficult to regain trust from others.

Preventing Carding and Protecting Yourself

To stay on the right side of the law and protect yourself from potential legal troubles, it is crucial to take proactive measures against carding. Here are some steps you can take:

Secure Online Practices: As an individual, always ensure that you practice safe online habits. Use strong, unique passwords for your accounts, regularly update your software, and be cautious when sharing personal information online.

E-commerce Security: If you own an e-commerce website, prioritize the security of your customers' payment information. Implement robust security measures such as encryption, two-factor authentication, and regular security audits to minimize the risk of data breaches.

Compliance with Payment Card Industry Standards: Familiarize yourself with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) if you handle credit card information. Adhering to these standards ensures that you meet the necessary security requirements and protects both your customers and your business.

Monitoring and Reporting: Keep an eye on your financial statements and credit reports to identify any unauthorized transactions promptly. If you suspect carding activities or encounter suspicious behavior, report it to the appropriate authorities and your payment processor.

Conclusion

Understanding carding laws is crucial for both individuals and businesses to ensure compliance and protect themselves from legal consequences. Engaging in carding activities can lead to severe penalties, including criminal charges, civil liability, and reputational damage. By adopting secure online practices, prioritizing e-commerce security, and staying informed about legal regulations, you can minimize the risk of carding and create a safe environment for yourself and your customers.

#i actually take issue with part of this#yes you can find meaningful employment outside of academia#and your worth isnt tied to your studies#but if you cant study something on your own for personal enjoyment then thats a huge problem

Yeah, I'm definitely feeling this in the sense that...no, I'm not Just my field, and in fact I try very hard to remind people of that, both on here and in general. Like, love my field, devoted to my field, etc. etc., but it's not the be all, end all of Me, and in fact you get a very limited image of me if you just think of me as an Academic™ or as a Medievalist™ or even as a Mythographer™ or a Celticist™ (both of which are terms that are personally more dear to me than the former two). If I quit academia tomorrow, I like to think that my basic sense of identity would be intact even if it was shaken.

But also...and this is perhaps criminal....I LIKE my job beyond my marketable skills. I love my subject matter, I love being able to travel, I love being able to teach. I love my students, I love having a captive audience while I talk about things that I love and hopefully getting them to love it as well or, at the very least, get a couple of laughs from them. I like going to conferences, I like meeting up with my friends from elsewhere. And if I left academia....beyond asking friends for things...poof. No more conferences, since I couldn't afford going to Europe multiple times a year without a department to back me up. No more books that cost hundreds of dollars from the school library, or heavily discounted books at conference prices. No more access to books that are out of print and nigh impossible to find ANYWHERE.

...my subject matter expertise isn't my identity, sure, I'm a person outside of it, but it is *important* to me, yeah -- if it wasn't, God knows I wouldn't have stayed in academia THIS long. It's a matter, in my opinion, of balancing what you're willing to live with VS what you're not. At the moment, I don't believe I'm willing to live without my field. It might be a one-sided love affair, where it can never love me the way I love it, but it's a love affair that's continued for over a decade at this point. In five years, we'll see where I stand, whether I love the field enough to brave the job market or cut my losses and go into a non-academic area, but I *would* be giving up something important to me in the process, and I think it's fine to admit that it's something very important to me.

To enlist a few group from a particular area, and you need to fabricate a neighborhood presence there as a business, nearby auxiliaries are a decent choice. Notwithstanding, they accompany huge expenses. You need to imitate the interior construction of the first organization in each auxiliary.

Set up a branch office. A branch office is an expansion of your organization, yet in contrast to an auxiliary, it's anything but a different legitimate substance.

The greatest impediment of branch workplaces is that you can't set one up in each nation in the event that your nation doesn't have an expense concurrence with the country where you need to set up a branch. If there's where you have any desire to enlist from that doesn't permit you to set up a branch, you'll need to investigate different choices.

Payroll consistence is no joking matter, and it just gets more convoluted as your organization extends your global labor force across new regions. In the event that you want backing to keep on top of nearby guidelines and limited payroll, you will need to pick a global payroll specialist organization.

Payroll suppliers offer the most adaptability for payroll services — without attaching extra HR arrangements. If simple and consistent payroll is your essential concentration, it's an easy decision.

Prologue : A Longing...

     Your pirate story starts just about as commonly as ones you’ve heard over and over again. It starts with a longing. For most, it’s a longing for the sea. For the freedom it provides away from their overbearing families or obnoxious wives on shore. The reasoning is different for everyone but the longing remains the same. For you, however, it was a longing for adventure. You had all the freedom you could dream of. Never plagued by parents or peers and a freedom to go where you wanted whenever you pleased. However exciting that may seem it quickly lost its luster when everywhere to be found, was. New places quickly became old ones and you began to frequent the same areas, staying to the places that were so called “less desirable” Being a young woman in the age of lawlessness and pirates where every woman was expected to either be a slave or worse, a house wife, was hard enough. Made only harder by the fact that you were alone. No protection besides your own skills, no home, no family as you had given that all up in your feverous pursuit for your adventure. It was out there, you always told yourself, just waiting for you to find it. Which is why you were hellbent on being a pirate and currently found yourself on the legendary pirate oasis of Tortuga.

     The port had become a home of yours and always a place to find decent work that never pried too hard at exactly who you were. The jobs were almost always some form of robbery or sabotage with the few exceptions of some cartography and wayfinding. You were educated on the sea, always had been thanks to your plethora of time spent in or on it as a child and knew your ways around a ship as well and your trade made you decent around a blade as well. Getting robbed almost nightly and being a thief by trade meant there would always be one unsatisfied party in the form of those you stole from. However, the money always made it worth it. Yes, a fine pirate you’d make. This led to you being able to make a decent living and name for yourself over your years on the island. You had people you worked with frequently and the local tavern owner even rented out the loft above the tavern to you as a place to stay. The only problem arising when trying to find a crew. It was always either no one wanted to employ a woman, especially one as well kept as you always tried to keep yourself, thanks to the assumption of you being incompitent. That or a band of deplorable old men with half a working ship and a real affinity for assault. Not like that ever scared you. You knew you would be able to take them on if you were anywhere near the sea. I mean you are a siren after all. You don’t mess with a siren, especially near the water. Any pirate that doesn’t have a death wish knows that. The thought of being in the ocean again slightly saddened you. You missed it, yes and went swimming as often as you could but what use is there to have the whole ocean for the taking and not have any idea what to take from it or where to begin. That’s what you longed for. The goal. The journey. A journey you will get, much sooner than you think.

That’s what you longed for. The goal. The journey. A journey you will get, much sooner than you think.

     A few days ago, a ship docked in port. The ship was by far the largest you’d ever seen, the crew was unfamiliar but you assumed they were one of the best in their line of work based on the ship size alone. The night was cold and clear, moon high and bright in the sky. You kept your hood up and the collar of your cloak buttoned up high as well as your scarf you tied around your face to conceal it being doubled up to contain the heated breath coming from your nose and mouth. Which served double duty in keeping your face warm as well as minimizing the puffs of breath that would create clouds of fog in the frigid air. You were currently sneaking down alleyways and backroads enroute to a butcher on the edge of the port town that had stolen a number of pet pigs from a local farmer. Your job was simple: steal them back, return them unharmed, get enough to cover your bar tab for the night, pass out in your bed at the end of the night. Easy. That was until you chose to sneak under the window of what you knew to be a fortune teller, Madame Luciele. You frequently saw the middle-aged woman talking to troves of children and telling them fantastical stories of monsters, pirates and treasure. If she legitimately told fortunes or not was none of your business but you always enjoyed her storytelling and she was certainly the person to go to when the topic was concerned with anything supernatural and/or mythical. Which it seemed the person to whom the good madame was currently conversing with was concerned about. 

     “Yes captain, I’m certain that is the correct ritual for the pools.” Captain? Of that huge ship in port? And what pools? Against your better judgment of just minding your own business, the words and phrases they were using were raising flags in your brain and you were frozen in place by your own curiosity. You slowly and carefully peaked into the open window to see the madame and the captain facing each other at a table on the far wall with a few candles as well as a few books and loose pages scattered on the table before them. The captain was dressed in all blak with red insignias you didn't recognize except for it being the same one he flew on his ship. His hat was off and placed on the table and his long black hair was clearly unkempt and he seemed much like every other dirty pirate you’d seen with the exception of a larger ship. The madame broke you out of your thoughts as she spoke again. You must be anointed with waters from the pools of eternity and offer the scale of a mermaid. After you have been blessed and only then will you be shown the Cromer and be able to use it to control the tides.”  The pirate looked delighted at this information and his face slowly blossomed into a sinister smile, only made more unsettling. “So it’s easier than I originally intended..” God his voice sounds like he drinks glass.. “You still need to find the pools as well as the key to the Cromer chamber which last anyone heard, was sunk with the ship it was being transported on over 300 years ago.” Madame Luciele clarified. “I have the map…the key is what is going to be my problem. I've pinpointed where the ship sank through various means but the waters are far too dangerous to go anywhere near Lucaria island.” The pirate spoke sharply and shook his head, pushing his hair out of his face and placing the hat back on his head. Madame Luciele perked up at his words ``You have a map to the Pools of Eternity?...” The Pools of Eternity? You remember reading that legend as a child. About the most fearsome pirate that ever lived who was rumored to have been given the ability to control the sea. The pirate opened his coat and pulled a scroll from his inside pocket before unraveling it and laying it across the table. You were too far to make out any details but the look on the madames face told you that whatever it was, it was rare. The pirate responded “Yes, the only one in creation. pulled it off the body of some bible thumping spaniard at a camp we raided not a week ago-” “HEY!” You were broken out of your thoughts by someone yelling from across the street at you. Clearly drunk but still blowing your cover before you could hear any more of the conversation as it too had been cut by the belligerent man. You bolted from out of the window and further down the alley into darkness before anyone else saw you.

     A few hours later, with the job done and pigs safely returned to their owner, you walked down the street towards the tavern that was bustling with people and music thanks to the couple of new ships in the harbor. More ships always meant more people and a livelier crowd. You tossed the bag of coins in the air and whistled happily at the thought of spending the majority of it on a good time. Before you reached the tavern, though, you caught what looked to be a blonde male in a large coat with tan fur on it disappear into an alley on the opposite side of the street. What was more curious however is that he was filled by someone you knew. Jacob Aster. Son of the best cartographer in the port that you did work for occasionally. His son was rarely around because he always took up jobs at sea but you had seen him a fair handful of times and he always shared stories of adventure with you. He never worked with pirates though which is what struck you as odd. He always took legal, contracted work. What was he doing with a pirate? Fate seemed to be on your side tonight as she kept placing you in the right place at the right time to gain information. You obviously jogged across the street and followed them, pulling your hood up and picketing your bag of coins to have both hands free just in case. If anyone asked, you were just looking out for a friend. You spotted them around a corner, talking on the back porch of the house of Jacob’s father. You peaked at them from the alley to their left, a good six to eight feet away from them and still shrouded by the unlit alley. “This will tell you everything you need to know.” Jacob spoke softly and handed the pirate what appeared to be a small leather-bound notebook. The soft light from the candle in the window allowed you to see the pirate a bit better and his looks shocked you. He was young, maybe his mid 20’s, blonde hair slicked back and well kept and shorter on the sides. He wore all black under the dark brown coat adorned with tan fur. You could see the hilt of his sword and the butt of his pistol on opposite hips on his belt and he wore knee high black leather boots. Jewelry adorned many piercings on his ears and sparkled in the candlelight from the window. He was well kept and it shocked you. “This will tell you when the key will be revealed so you can retrieve it as well as how to get the key itself as well as a bunch of other information you need to know about the ritual.” It can’t be the same key the other pirate was looking for, can it? The pirate sighed happily and hugged Jacob “Thank you. I know it wasn’t easy to retrieve but the Spaniards would have killed me on sight.” The pirate's voice was soft and sympathetic. He clearly wasn’t at all like the others you’ve encountered and/or eaten. A thought invades your brain wondering if he tastes as sweet as he sounds before you quickly shove it away. “Of course, Captain Hongjoong. Your cartographer has given us so many amazing references that it was the least I could do. Unfortunate I heard the camp was raided by Captain BlackJack shortly after we left.” The pirate gave a sympathetic look and patted Jacob on the shoulder before handing him a bag of coins. “Thank you again. We’ll get there before him.” Jacob nodded and they parted ways causing you to run back out of the alleyway before the pirate came back down the same alley. Captain? Does he have a ship? And he’s in competition with the other pirate?  You decided to ask Jacob in the morning before shaking your head and returning on your path to the tavern once you were sure the pirate was gone. 

     Another hour later and you find yourself at your favorite table at the tavern named The Sirens Song. Ironic, you know but you enjoyed it nonetheless. Your table was closer to the front corner of the place. Easy for you to put your back to the corner and observe the whole room. It was filled with people laughing, dancing and drinking. People on the stairs cheerfully singing with the musicians, pirates flirting with the barmaid and then drinking until they pass out. A very normal night. You had spotted that dirty pirate with the map, who you now knew as Captain BlackJack, sitting with his crew in the far corner. Talking in hushed secrecy from what you could see by how they were leaning in close whenever someone spoke. Something about that guy rubbed you the wrong way. So much so that if the legend is true and the pools and the Cromer are real, then you hope he's not the one that gets it. The tavern door opens and a large man with shaggy black hair walks through the door. He's wearing a simple white shirt with brown vest and pants with black boots, all remarkably in good condition. He looked around and smiled at the state of the place, clearly a pirate by the sword and pistol he bore but his soft face and warm eyes reminded you more of a puppy than a pirate. You watched as a large band of what you can assume to be his friends and/or crew walk through the door behind him. All young and very good looking, dressed in a variety of colors and fabrics. The last to come through the door almost made you choke on the wine you were sipping from your stein. Captain Hongjoong. In hindsight it made sense that the rest of his crew was as clean as he was but what excited you more was that he had a crew! And a ship! This was it. Hongjoong was your key to adventure. You watched as the group found a table and ordered from the barmaid. They were a lively group with laughter and cheers always coming from their table as they played card games and drank ale. 

     You had finally mustered the courage to ask him about sailing with him but as you stood up the bar erupted as two pirate crews started shouting something about cheating in a card game which caused both large crews to erupt into a full blown bar fight. Before you could act, a shot rang through the bar that sent everyone fleeing out the door, including Hongjoong and his crew. You ran out the tavern and round the back to the staircase that led up to your apartment, the ruckus could still be heard downstairs but the owner and some patrons were swiftly removing the unruly crews from the tavern. You flopped down into your bed and sighed deeply. How cruel of fate to give you all this information for what would be the adventure of a lifetime and then prevent you from getting in on it. You rubbed your hands over your face and groaned in frustration before something finally clicked in your brain. Hongjoong had the details of the ritual and how to get the key but no map to the island the key was on due to the other pirate having the only map however you recalled a memory from your childhood. Long repressed from when you were still with your siren sisters. You had come across an island far to the south that had a strange aura to it. Like the tides were controlled by the island itself. Your sisters told you something had laid a curse upon that island and everyone lived in fear of being the next victim of said curse. That was that about the island and your sisters refused to ever elaborate. That was the island they were talking about. Hongjoong knew how to get the key and you knew how to get to the island. Oh yes, you were going on this adventure.

     At first light you packed your things and went downstairs to bid goodbye to the tavern owner. “Oh and where are you off to, young one?” “I’ve got some leads and someone to talk to. Im finally going on my adventure.” You said happily and the owner beamed at you. “You’re smart. You’ll do well on the sea. Should you ever return, you know where to find me.” You smiled and thanked him before hugging him tightly and walking out the door, setting off for the docks at a determined pace.

Child!reader being adopted by spy x family characters Pt. 2

As I said in the previous part, these adoption headcanons are really specific, including your hypothetical pronouns and name; these two are extra so you can imagine yourself with your name and desired gender. You can ask for less specific headcanons if you want too. Part 1 here

Enjoy!

Sylvia Sherwood

How you met

She carries the responsibility of WISE, she needs to be committed to it. More than ever now that the peace was threatened every day by those who wanted war to arise again

She missed her family, but she overcame it. Just like the HQ she had to be impenetrable

At least, that's what she thought

Because right in front of her there was the question which answers she wanted to hear. A kid.

It would be normal to see one if she wasn't at the HQ

It didn't help no one knew there was a kid there until you spoke up

The camera system didn't record you and there wasn't any entrance to the agency that had been forced. You weren't any employee's kid either

After scolding them and order to search your parents she met you again

"Hello little one. May I ask you how did you get in here?"

You smiled, seeming to have been waiting her to ask

"Because I like to play and explore! And I'm really good at hide and seek"

Sylvia raised an eyebrow. No matter how well someone was good at hiding there was no way you could break into the HQ; it sounded surrealistic

"But how did you find this place?"

"Because it was easy to find"

"Don't you think you could end bad breaking into unknown places?"

"If I don't know what isthis place how I'd know that?"

Fair enough

That conversation wasn't going anywhere, yet she was angrier with the security staff than you. You didn't look worried though

You gave her an idea

"Do you want to play with me?"

Both entered in the nearest police station, she talked with the officers before telling you to count until 1000 while she was going to hide. You started the count facing a wall

She felt bad, but there were some traffickers she had to catch before they made the exchange

She was following their car; everything fine until she believed to see a small hand greeting her from the car's trunk

She returned to the police station to find out that moments later of her departure you disappeared without anyone realizing. She went to the point where the delivery would be made

Outside the abandoned warehouse there was no signal that you were there until she saw you getting out from under the car on the other side

Something caused a shooting that would make the police come and caught her at any moment. The bands kept shooting at each other while you were behind a transport container

"What were you thinking?! I told you to stay with the police!"

"I'm sorry, I counted until I know, then I saw you following the car, so I followed too. But before they caught me I hid in there...I'm sorry..." You pulled out a walkie-talkie

"I got two from the police station. I left one in there so the others thought the guys of that car were betraying them, it should have worked to scape with no bad guys seeing us"

She was impressed. However, there was no time to ask where you learn that from

Analyzing the situation the principal scape was blocked, fortunately they hadn't noticed you yet so–

You pulled her shirt, pointing somewhere else

"Let's get out"

General headcanons

Sylvia was still surprised that your plan of exiting through a rear window she hadn't seen and walk away without hurry could work

She stopped walking to watch you smash the walkie-talkie and take out some matches to burn it

"Now they can't find footprints!"

The police may not get answers about it but she had many questions for you

She lied to you about the HQ, after the shooting her lie was on the floor. Thenceforth Sylvia's not able to tell if you were playing along and keeping her secret or you have no idea what's all about

You thought her name was Handler. When you knew she was called Sylvia Sherwood you pointed your hoody logo and say "S of Super, you're superman–Superwoman!"

That's how she begun to be mistaken with an endearing mother and her son. She was superwoman and you "kid", because you said that's how you were called, along with child, shrimp, demon...

"That's unacceptable". She handed you lists of names to choose, unfortunately no one convinced you

It wasn't until you two went to a jewelry store that you found the name

The casual way you break in HQ when you want still frustrates her, how do you do it?? You don't see big deal though

Fullmetal lady didn't remember how tough was motherhood

Anyone would freak out if they found out about spies. Yet there you are, admiring flying guys in underpants

Sylvia asked you about your family, but you always tell the same: you lived with dad until he left you with a woman that he said was your mom

The Handler found out your father is a repeat offender, currently on a maximum security prison in another country. Both him and the woman without offspring legally

"Please, don't tell me one of his criminal records is jailbreaking"

The informant doubted "Actually, that's the main one"

"..."

The Forgers

Scenario where it's up to both of them to adopt you. To keep Loid's mental sanity safe it will be independent of the timeline where Yor has a kid on her own, feel free to imagine both kids being Anya's siblings at the same time. You can ask me to include that idea if I write more about this

How you met

As I said before Twilight wouldn't adopt anyone due his job, only one kid for Operation Strix and that was Anya. For now Yor didn't want more kids, she loves Anya and that's enough for them

Not for Anya. She wanted a little sibling

All started talking with Becky when Damian mentioned his brother. Back at home she brought the topic and neither Pa or Ma were giving her an answer of where babies come from

That's when she begun to feel like being a sister. Any plan helped her to convince her parents though

Anya remembered something Mr Henderson told them. "If you want something, take it into your own hands"

And she took it too seriously

Next day Anya and Bond disappeared, she was in the dogs park with Yor

While Mrs Forger panicked Anya had returned to the place she met Twilight

As the time passed the Forgers worried more. When they found Anya and Bond at their building's door they felt relieved

Your presence didn't make things better

They asked Anya where she had been and where did you come from. She said she adopted you

Of course Anya wasn't going to say she broke into an orphanage and took you

Loid's scolding made you cry

"Anya, we aren't adopting–"

"If she's not my sister I won't go to school ever again!!"

"Just for a trial period" that's what Loid hoped

General headcanons

Loid thought babies were easy because it's unnecessary (more impossible) communication with a living being that can't talk; after all babies only have basic needs. He was wrong

It would be easier if you could talk. Why are you crying? You have eaten! Are you sad? Cold? You dislike him?

Yor is not better either. Because her parents died when Yuri was a kid Yor didn't have experience with changing diapers, or anything related with babies

She was more scared than Loid to the point she didn't want to hold you. She broke Yuri's ribs with a hug when he was a toddler, what if she kills you with few contact?

In less than 24 hours you already had a crib and all kinds of things a baby would need. However, having three bedrooms and parents sleeping in separate rooms meant all your things ended in Anya's room

You cried at night until they discovered you calmed down when Anya let you a plushie to hug

She can't wait for the day pa and ma share bed to take back her bedroom

The second night Anya had an idea

Ma is scared of being your mom, solution? Leave you in her bed while Yor is asleep imagining that would work

Thanks God Yor doesn't move much when sleeping. On the other hand Yor is a light sleeper due not being used to sleep with someone so she woke up minutes later

She almost jump out of the bed, realizing that would make you cry made her contain. You groaned, did she wake you up? Yor wasn't sure of holding you, instead she laid down again and approached you to her chest

Seeing you so peaceful by her side melted her, thinking about it you looked a bit like her and Loid.. She blushed at the embarrassing thought

Bold of them to not imagine that's why Anya chose you

In the morning Loid discovered what happened and had a little words with Anya during breakfast before she went to school

Yor went to work and he decided to take a day off from his work to spend the morning with you. The Handler said the first days you should see them to recognize faces

Walks with Bond, buying toys, trying to teach you sign language...Normal stuff

Loid is glad you don't do anything but sleep and eat, except your obsession with munching. When you first kissed Yor he found it normal until you munched her cheek and now you do that to everyone; probably you're teething

Yor found it really cute, but you shouldn't go kissing and chewing cheeks. Anya thinks is funny just don't try to chew her hair again please

Another problem came with names. Loid was going through a list of 850 names in alphabetical order, meanings included; Yor didn't take it to the extreme

"Hum, what about Rose? I think it's a cute name, I mean it's both decision and I'm not good with names Loid–"

Welcome to the family Rose

A spy, an assassin, a telepath and... Well, a baby. Seems like a good mix

Yor Briar

As we know Twilight only would adopt for Operation Strix's sake. Yor became mother by marrying Loid, but what if she had already a kid before being Mrs Forger?

Inspired by this post of @say-seira

How you met

Long ago before Twilight adopted the identity of Loid Forger, the Briars moved to a flat in Berlint

While the eldest sibling had recently become an adult Yuri was only a kid, Yor decided to move to the city so he had nearer his school. It was possible due her proper salary as Thorn Princess

This change would make her job easier too. She had a new client which death could pay Yuri's entrance to a good university

There was a politician who negotiated with terrorists, helping them to get into Ostania and providing them with weapons in exchange to gain good propaganda abroad and getting rid of competition

Knowing this was enough to make Yor's blood boil. He deserved to die, she was sure of it

Struggling with the security around him, Yor finally killed the target without leaving trace

The only inconvenience was a bad injury made by a bullet that she received. After removing the bullet the wound got worse

She went to the hospital to avoid an infection. In the waiting room she met a kind lady, Yor swore that she had seen her before

The woman was scared, but Yor reassured her she will wait her

While Yor was attended the girl was taken to another room. As she promised, Yor waited in the hall after her wound was treated; with a buttoned medical gown on because she didn't want to attract more attention due the bandaged wound in sight

Time passed and many people enter and exit from the room, but she didn't. A nurse carrying something mistook her for one of the staff and scolded her for standing there

"Here, take the baby to the nursery"

"Me? But— wait! What about the woman? Is she okay?"

From afar she heard the answer, but before Yor could explain the error the woman had left. She was shocked, how? She seemed fine

Against her will the dark-haired looked at the lump she was holding: rosy cheeks babbling in dreams, you were in peace

Her shock grew when she saw you shared the username that the man she killed had. That's why the woman was familiar: she was the politician's daughter

Yor searched someone who hand the baby when she recognized the doctor that guided the woman to the room, he was talking with a masked nurse

The fact they went to a private place and maintained their voices low made her suspect

"Did you take care of the mother?" the nurse asked

"Yes, they got ahead of us with her father but I think they will pay us anyway. When they found it was a medical negligence we'll be far from here"

Yor understood they were assassins as well, probably paid by a rival. Luckily they hadn't seen her yet

"Heh, do you they will pay more if we got rid of the baby?"

Yor left the hospital with you, unsure of what to do. Did you have more relatives? The widowed politician didn't have more kids, and your mother came alone. What if they wanted to kill the rest of the family?

A small hand grabbed hers, and every fear disappeared. Looking at each other, she knew you were safer with her. Perhaps it was only guilt or sympathy, but she would try

General headcanons

The moment Yuri saw Yor holding you was in disbelief. Yor said she found you in the streets and he believed it

At first he tried to convince her sister to leave you in a orphanage but once scolding was enough to cease

Still disliking you for the first months. It took some time until he saw you like one of his family

Yuri helped, although they had a rough time because you refused to eat Yor's purees. Your endurance might grew up to make you the only person who can eat her food without bleeding but it doesn't mean you like its flavor

She viewed you as a sibling until you were two, being called mom made Yor too happy to correct you. Yuri was just Yuri, you never feel like using formalities with him or addressing "Uncle" everytime you talked

Yor decided to let your belongings, it was better that way. When you were older, and only if you wanted, she would tell you the truth

She's bad with names, Rose was the only name she could think of but you're a boy. Yor's parents loved that Yuri and her had matching names, therefore you would be the sweet addition to it

The only name I could think of is Yuu because it's gender neutral and means "you" sorry

During the first year of your life she didn't try to hide the blood of her clothes from you. Yuri never suspected either and you wouldn't remember it when you grow up

Your lack of childhood amnesia was something she didn't have in count. Not that she knows you know anyway

Yor has been training you since you were able to walk, if she wasn't there when you needed at least you would be ready to defend yourself. Proud to say you're her strong boy

That said, if the assassins that tried to killed you found were you lived it's something you ignore. Being the protective mother Yor is they could be dead by now

Six years later, it was still Yor and you against the world, with Yuri being the only paternal figure you had. Before one day she met a man and everything changed

She said he will help her by accompanying her to a party so Yuri stopped worrying about her. She said it would be one night, and the next morning you woke up with Yor waiting to talk with you

In part she accepted because of you; you passed the Eden exam before knowing you needed a dad for it. That requisite seemed stupid for you, as you reassured her you could go to any other school; now you would be accepted into the best school!

You agreed and started packing. What else you could do? The decision was made before you were asked anyway, and you didn't want to argue with your mom because she was doing it for your future too

Of course it affected you. No matter how nice they were it was a huge change; in one day you had to move to a new place which didn't feel like home and live with strangers who you'll have to share mom with isn't easy

Anya was nervous too, but for different reasons. She was so excited to meet her soon-to-be sibling! For her, who was an orphan last week, having a pa, a ma and a friend to play with was great

Her expectations went down when she read your mind. You didn't think bad of them, but excited wasn't the word to describe your emotional state either

Loid may not be good at understanding children, but it was clear for him you wasn't comfortable. For him would be weirder if you didn't seem affected at all

On the contrary, Yor seemed cool with all of this to you. Even without any idea of how to be a wife or mother for Anya she enjoyed her time as Forger, which confused you a bit

Yor is happier, not only because she didn't have to worry about the SSS or Yuri anymore. They make her happier, it's just matter of time she could fall for Loid and have a baby that was her own, real kid

Being sure Yor loves you and your new family want you to feel welcomed doesn't make disappear the feelings you carry with. Still, if mom is happy you prefer to keep it to yourself and try to maker her smile too

If it wasn't because Yuri hates the idea of her sister hiding her marriage for a year and sympathized your situation he would have laughed at the irony when you told him during your uncle-nephew walk the next day of his meeting with "Loiloi"

He doesn't know they got married before you attended school so he assumed you had been holding it for a long time. He passed his fingers through your hair

"I understand it's difficult, but I'll be for you whenever you need me"

+ Honorable mention to compensate you for the mild ansgt without warning

Daybreak

We don't know much about him but I included this dork for fun

Thinking about "Daybreak" and "parenthood" makes anyone's mind stopped working

Mainly because it's difficult to say which one would be the child

Not "How you met headcanons" because he wouldn't be able to adopt to begin with

From what we saw in chapter 27 he seems to live alone, depending on his amazing spy career to afford pork steak for dinner. So he must not live too good given that after his first mission he was fired

If he had a child, it would be likely because of a previous relationship he had and didn't end well

He didn't adopt you. You're his biological kid, the only not adopted of this gang

Sorry we can't choose our family good luck ig

Not necessarily ended bad, even remaining as friends, your mother took a different path and is happily married with another man

If she knew he wanted to be a spy either thought "it's a joke" or *sigh*

She was who brought money in the relationship, now you live with her and your step-dad but at the beginning you didn't want to

Daybreak talked with you and promised you could visit each other and even live with him when he could afford it

They don't get it

Who would take care of him? The idea of living on his own was frightening to you

Imagine being father and is your kid who worries about whether pops know how to pay taxes without mom

You took after him in terms of appearance. Any signal of intelligence was from your mother

Average smart but surely smarter than him

Probably he thanked God that you were a boy. He will love whatever you are but he was relieved of saving himself of buying female products when you were on that time of the month and guide you through puberty

As much as he says to be a charming man he's not good with women either so

Your name is Sunny. Guess who chose it

Probably you see him more on weekends than during the week

Until you showed him Spy Wars he didn't have no idea that existed such good series

Of course not cooler than the legend he is but Daybreak jokes about how reading that and seeing your cool pops in action would make you half as good spy as he is someday

Quite sad is that your common sense along with the things you see on TV are enough to be better spy material

You try to watch it with him to see if he learns something

Unsure of what you'll be in the future but in the mean time you had fun watching cartoons and liking kids stuff like dinosaurs and skateboard

Current status: Busy with your first year at school and getting him out of trouble
