In the diver au, do the sirens still come to see MC even when she isn't diving? Asking because I am terrified of SCUBA diving

Dw anon, as someone who actively enjoys scuba diving I am ALSO afraid of scuba diving. Y'all will never catch my ass below 10m

Sans: He's careful not to appear too often. He doesn't want her to start suspecting he does little else but wait for her to return to him. But yes, he does sometimes come to see her, even when she has no plans to dive - sometimes she just likes to go out on a boat with her buddies, maybe to be their surface guy, maybe to fish, maybe just to hang out. Either way Sans will be there. He circles the boat, maybe even pulls up alongside it... he's always all smiles, all whistles. He likes playing tug-of-war. He tolerates the presences of her friends; Sans knows that humans never dive alone, and if her friends start disapproving of him or seeing him as aggressive she might not get in the water.

Sometimes, he returns lost items to her when he comes to the boat. Fumbled kit from previous dives. Most of the time it's genuinely lost stuff, but occasionally, he actively steals things from under her or her dive partners noses only to 'return' them later and gain favour. Her friends like him, they're none the wiser that he sees them purely as obstacles in the way of his beloved. He only has eyes for her.

Red: Of course he does. Diving or no diving, she's cute and he wants attention. He'll show up and circle the boat like the shark he is, laughs and non-serious shouts of "your boyfriend's here" go up from her buddies; if she doesn't go greet him when he surfaces he literally rocks the boat, aggressively bumping the hull until she relents and comes to interact with him. He always has such a smug look on his face. If he's seen one of her friends getting a bit too chummy with her recently he might only show up to target some harassment their way - kicking up water at them, snapping or deliberately tangling their fishing lines, or even pulling the line himself so the whole rod eventually goes flying into the water. (Of course, they're only getting that back if she asks)

He likes that she's more confident on a boat. In the water, she's mindful of the fact that it's his territory, but if he's misbehaving on the surface within arm's reach she'll reach out and smack him on the skull. Those whacks are the highlights of his week.

Skull: She never sees him when she's not diving.

But... that doesn't mean he's not there.

In the day, he lurks below the surface, below the boat whose hull and engine hum he's memorised. He listens to the muffled sounds of her laughter.

... And at night, he can be far, far closer than she realises.

wdym that everyone who stayed back on the island stayed back for love. wdym everyone that ran to save themselves also did it for their love for each other. wdym people tried their best to save the people they'd spent two weeks fighting cuz at the end there was love THERE WAS LOVE.

thats what the qsmp has always been about. it's love. all kinds of love. and what you're willing to do for that love. its love its love its love

So many good Luffy & Zoro moments in the first One Piece movie I had to make a separate post:

Zoro diving into the sea to get to Luffy before the beam attack has even finished!

Them kidnapping a child because they were on the same wavelength of hungry nothing else matters!

Fighting over food but immediately stopping when more food comes and acting like nothing happened! (Sidenote was Luffy pinned to the floor from his position???)

Being extremely unbothered about being tied up together so much so that Luffy is running through the forest with Zoro like a ragdoll on his back and vice versa when Zoro is fighting!

And of course THE Luffy & Zoro moment was Luffy eating the oden off the floor!! Zoro is the only one who knows what he's about to do cos he's the only one smiling while everyone's confused as Luffy does it. Because Luffy's mirroring him! But what Zoro doesn't know is that Luffy is mirroring the exact moment that Luffy chose him!

Lesson number one of the ocean:

Do not put anything in the ocean if you want it back.

This goes for measuring probes, submersibles, and yes, even you.

[beej-machinations]

[vincentspork]

I keep seeing posts abt lesbophobia enacted by bi women that I broadly agree with until op slides in some implication that bi women wield societal power over lesbians and then I'm like. Well

All the resources being spent to find the Titan Submersible...

Where are the resources for the Greek boat tragedy?

You write for both SVSSS and MDZS, so I wondered. Have you ever considered doing a crossover between the two?

With Luo Binghe disposing of the shards of Xin Mo after the whole Bingge vs. Bingmei thing, I thought it'd be fun if they somehow ended up in the world of MDZS, in the Burial Mounds specifically.

Since Wei Wuxian is genius enough to make an undead manipulating tally out of one super cursed sword, I'm sure he could figure out the reality tearing/portal making abilities of another one. Maybe bring the Wens to safety somewhere entirely unexpected!

(As an added bonus, if anywhere is good for bringing back Wen Ning and getting a new golden core, it's the world where Binghe somehow managed to repair SQQ's core detonation damage, and there happens to be a straight up resurrection array).

That would be a fascinating premise, but unfortunately, I'm very bad at making the different MXTX canons interact with each other. I made MDZS x TGCF work to some extent with the later installments of TMAAF, but this only works because Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue are obliged to leave their mortal lives behind and fulfill their duties as heavenly officials.

Re: bringing the Wens to safety in an unexpected way, I've already written one version with the Yiling Wei AU, so I probably won't write another in the foreseeable future!

watching triathlon replay, apparently this is how I learn how British people pronounce ‘buoy’ 😆

Me for the first 10 minutes: first boy??? Is there a boy in the water?????

fuckin LOVE a good story about the hubris of man

[lenniershairlessredacted]

hot take but yelling at vulnerable people who want to leave the country right now for "giving up" as though most of their activism isn't already online-based and they can't still participate or vote from abroad is maybe lashing out at the wrong target

I think a lot of anti-israelis don't understand they either do want death to all Jews in Israel or solutions that have been proposed for years, way before Hamas existed.

Like. When you say "we don't want Jews to die, we want a state where Palestinians and Jews can live together as equals!"

So. You want a one-state solution. A thing that has been on the table since ever. To take Gaza and the West Bank as a part of Israel and give them full rights.

"No! Palestine! Not Israel! A Palestinian state!"

So you want the Palestinians to take Israel by force, overthrow the government and conquer a country with 9 million citizens (Palestinians are 4 million), and you expect everyone to be nice and except it?

"No, no. That's not a good idea. Israel should just bring back the lands taken in 1967 and help build a Palestinian state!"

Oh. The two-states solution. The most popular solution among the Israeli left and Gazans.

"Yeah, sure, sounds nice. From the river to the sea - "
