[heroes-of-courage]

Question for any of the links: What's your favorite color combo?

[sleepy-spam-reblog-things]

Applesauce says hello (so does cal lol)

Aww hi applesauce!! Hello cal!!!! :D

How have you been??

[sleepyy-27]

Hi hello I love you ok bye bye <33

Hi cal love you too!!! Bye bye!! <333333333

[atramenting]

hello so we're talking about farmers? i'm here to slide into your inbox.

my farmer's pronouns are he/him, occasionally he/they. he's sarcastic and dramatic but pretty kept to himself for the most part. he loves bothering march and has dubbed the blacksmith his best friend, even if the feeling isn't mutual (march will accept them).

he loves flowers! and in the center of his farm is a nice garden where he can grow all the flowers every season. he and celine get along pretty well because of that! he's like the big brother type, and the dragonguard love to come to him just to see his sword or hear about his adventures, and he adores them, as an older brother themself.

despite how everyone (march) seems to think he's an open book, he's actually rather secretive about his life before coming to mistria. the most he'll speak about his younger siblings who occasionally send him letters and how he's not an amateur when it comes to the sword.

he's most fond of caldarus and has made sure his area is pretty and clean every day, and even when cal doesn't speak to them, he always greets him and talks about their day.

okay bye bye have a good day >_<

Oooh yes I love a good ~mysterious background~ character!! Especially in FoM, it just fits so well! With how open and approachable most of the cast is, an outsider who doesn't let down their guard that easily is really intriguing!!! It also makes sense that he'd gravitate towards March, because to someone from outside, March would likely feel as if he were the only genuine person at first because of how abrasive he is. Meanwhile, March is like "LEAVE ME ALOOOOONE" and it makes for interesting interactions!!!!

I LOVE CHARACTERS WHO LIKE FLOWERS AAAA. And it's so nice that he gets along with Celine --- she's such a good character imo. She feels a little "oh flowers are her thing" at first, but once you get to know her family, she becomes really interesting, so I love that they're friends!!!

The Dragonguard are amazing kids and it's just SO GOOD when an older character acts as an enabler for such misadventures lmaooo. Even when it's just storytelling. :D

Now I want to know more about him!!!!!!!! Thanks for telling me about him!

Hey, it's been a while.

I heard that you finished playing Jedi Survivor.

Awesome!! 😃

Overall, what did you think of it? As for me, I thought it was excellent, and I hope we get a third game in the future 🙂

Oh I have a lot of thoughts about this game, I will put them under cut since they will contain major spoilers :D

Graphics were amazing. I was so excited when I saw Coruscant. It's beautiful, I keep going back to that planet and keep imagining Corries there. Tanalorr was beautiful as well.

When it comes to gameplay I have a love-hate relationship with it. I love all the new fighting styles but all the acrobatics and jumping made my hands sweat so much. I don't think I've ever swear as much as I did while I was playing Survivor XD but it's just me struggling with these types of adventures games. Fighting was awesome. While I love all the new quests, I was a little bit overwhelmed with stuff to do on the planets. At some point I had to force myself to stop doing side quests and finally progress the plot because people were spoiling the game everywhere while I was still in the beginning of the plot... (I wish some people understood that not everyone can finish a big game as this one during one weekend...)

As for the story, I liked it, I was living for all the High Republic bits. I kinda wish there was more of it. Overall the plot was an emotional rollercoaster and I cried like a baby during the last hours. Cere's death was tragic, especially when she called Trilla in her last words, Bode's betrayal hurt me so much.

Speaking of Bode, such an amazing character. I only wish his end was different. While I stared being wary of him, I did not expect him to be a Jedi. I love the bromance between Cal and him (or even romance, I already read some fics with them haha) and I understood Bode's point of view and why he did things he did. But I feel like the end was a little bit too extra. I get that we needed a villain but I wish Cal and Bode came to an agreement. I cried like a baby when I found the echo of Bode an his daughter singing the Ghost lullaby. I really wished them the best.

As for the romance between Cal and Merrin I still have mixed feelings. It's just that I see their banter more as siblings' banter rather than flirting but I am happy for the people who ship them! <3

I think that's it. I am still trying to digest the story as I only finished it yesterday and there is still so many things to discover for me. It's a neat game, maybe not always for me when it comes to gameplay but I have my fingers crossed for the third part.

Stillwater - Chapter 2

Stillwater [Archive of Our Own, FanFiction.Net, Mibba]

Characters: Original Female Character, Monkey D. Luffy, Rorona Zoro, Vinsmoke Sanji, Nami, Usopp, Tony Tony Chopper, Nefeltari Vivi

***

"We build as only children know to build

We made a way where there's a will

No slowing down or standing still

Innocent and reckless

"How did we get so old and never notice

How did we gain the world and lose the moment

Rise and fall, the tide surrounds us

And drowns us all"

-Hands Like Houses

***

I woke up to the sounds and smells of food being prepared. I opened my eyes and found that I was laying on a mat on the floor of, what looked like, a kitchen. It also housed the steering, which I found slightly odd. Then again, nothing about this crew, especially their captain, had struck me as normal.

I sat up and groaned, cracking my neck.

“Look who’s up. Careful now. It’s only been a few days, and your ribs were pretty messed up.”

A few days had done wonders for my ribs. Where before they were a source of pain, I now felt nothing, aside from the stiffness of my muscles.

“I’m okay,” I assured the blonde. “Sanji right?”

“Yes, but you can call me whatever you want, my beautiful princess!”

Again with the heart eyes. I shook my head. This guy was either going to make a fantastic husband to some lucky girl, or some devil woman was going to eat him alive. Right now, it looked like there was a 50/50 chance that it could go either way.

“You’re the cook, I take it?”

“Yeah,” he answered. He still had that overly affectionate aura about him, but it seemed to go down a notch. At least for the time being that is. “Someone has to make sure that those idiots out there don’t starve.”

Despite his insulting words and annoyed tone, it was evident to me that he genuinely cared about his crewmates.

“A few days,” I repeated. “What’d I miss?”

A few days didn’t seem like a lot of time, but it was enough. After all, the whole world could change in one second. A few days provided plenty of opportunities.

Sanji explained everything that had happened, since we fled Logue Town. There had been a storm, we’d traveled over Reverse Mountain, been inside a massive whale, befriended the whale, Laboon, and his care taker.

I shook my head. ‘Join a pirate crew and leave them hanging, because I’m unconscious. Of course.’

“I know it may seem impossible considering that I slept through all that, but you can wake me up. You should’ve woke me up. I would’ve helped.”

“You were hurt. Anyways, it doesn’t matter. We had it under control.”

He faced me again, handing me a fork.

“Here. Try this.”

One the end of the fork was what appeared to be the most perfectly crafted bite of fish with some delicately placed vegetable on top. I didn’t even know that a bite could look that good. When I told my siblings to test something for me, it was usually a hastily scooped up bite on a spoon that was nearly falling off. This looked like it could be in one of those magazines and it was just a taste test. I didn’t even know that you could make a bite look pretty, but he managed.

I popped it into my mouth. My eyes widened in surprise. It was ten times better than it looked. “Holy hell! This is amazing!”

The hearts were back. “Why thank you, my princess. I-“

“Sanji, this whole “princess,” “beautiful,” thing isn’t necessary. Just call me Mira. That’s what everyone else does.”

I realized that his compliments and affections were just part of his nature, but still found it strange. Back home, I was blood related to about 75% of the people living there. Another 15% were in-laws. Not that I had ever been looking, but the pool of potential partners was shallow, and the number of people who flirted with me was a big fat 0.

Even, when I left for supply runs, I was nothing special. I chose to look that way. I was short at 5’5” with choppy black hair that barely touched my shoulders. My frame was slender with hints of muscle. I didn’t bother with makeup or flashy clothes. I wore jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers. The point was to not draw attention to myself.

“Whatever you say, my dearest Mira.”

Not a 100% right, but it was a step in the right direction.

“Are you almost done?” I asked. “I’ll help you serve.”

“You don’t-“

“I want to help,” I told him, standing up.

“But your injuries-“

I pulled the wrapping off and stretched, side to side and touched my toes. “What injuries?”

His eyes widened in surprise. “How-“

“Girl’s got to have her secrets,” I said, smirking.

I didn’t particularly want to expose how quickly I healed. I didn’t want to expose any of my abilities, not really. I would if it was necessary. In Logue Town, I had almost done so, but lucked out. If I had faked it though, that would’ve meant that would’ve had to sit on my ass and be useless for weeks, and that I couldn’t take.

Sanji didn’t press the issue, opting instead to plate up all the food, splitting the dishes between us evenly. (After I had scolded him for trying to get me to carry one little plate and nothing else.)

“You alright?” he asked as we started out towards the others.

“This is nothing. You should see what happens, when my aunt, Cal, declares a family dinner.”

We had almost reached them, when the other girl on board, Nami, as Sanji had informed me, let out a scream. Sanji moved with unnatural speed towards her. I followed behind at a normal pace.

“What’s the matter, Nami, my sweet?” he asked.

I peered from behind him at the stressed navigator.

“If it’s food, you’re worried about, it’s ready!”

I really doubted that it was food she was worried about, if her face was anything to go by.

“Oh? Meal time?”

The guy with the long nose climbed up and joined the group.

“Usopp?” I doubled checked to make sure I had it right.

“That’s me, Captain Usopp, leader of the Usopp Pirates, a deadly sniper with no rival! My name is infamous all across the East Blue!”

I nodded taking all that in.  It was obvious that he was lying, but who was I to break the fantasy. I was still of the mindset that I could sail as part of a pirate crew.

“Th- the compass is broken!” Nami exclaimed, distraught. “It doesn’t point in any direction.”

I looked at the compass, watching as it spun and spun and spun, just like all the other ones that I had seen.

I set down the food. “It’s not broken,” I assured her. “It’s just useless.”

“Useless?!”

“The girl’s right,” an old man said.

I assumed he was the one who took care of the whale. I was caught off guard by his appearance, most notably the petals around his head. Outside of the papers I hadn’t seen a single one of Roger’s men, since they left my home. Now, I had seen two in a short amount of time.  I didn’t comment on this, however. I wasn’t sure, if he wanted them to know about his past, and I didn’t want to explain how I knew he was one of Roger’s.

“Looks like you guys came here with no knowledge. For heaven’s sake! Did you come here to die?”

“What?” Nami asked.

Luffy was focused on the food. “Meal.”

“Feed, in your case,” Sanji snipped.

“I thought I told you that common sense is useless in this sea. It’s not that that compass is broken.”

“Hm? Then, could it be that the magnetic fields are-“

“You pick up quick,” I praised.

“That’s right. The islands in the Grand Line contain lots of magnetic minerals; because of this they cause various abnormalities throughout the Grand Line. Furthermore, the current and the winds don’t have constancy. If you’re a navigator, you should know how scary that is.”

“It’s true that if we don’t have any way of knowing our direction, it’s hopeless.”

“Not entirely,” I cut in. “You need a log pose. It’s kind of like a compass, but instead of pointing to the North, it points you to the next island. Once you get there, it adjusts to that island’s magnetic field and then points you to the next, but it’s tricky, because once you set down one chain of islands, it’s nearly impossible to change course.”

“How do you know all this?” Sanji asked.

“I guess I never properly introduced myself. My apologies. That was rude. I’m Zale Mira Kai, but most people just call me Mira. I’m from the second half of the Grand Line, the New World.”

“Mira’s our expert. We’re going to take her home after we find the One Piece,” Luffy said around a mouth full of tuna.

“Really? How’d you end up in Logue Town?” Usopp asked.

“Long story. Any ways my log pose was in my bag, but I don’t know if it survived the abuse it went through back in Logue Town, but I can go check.”

“Please,” Nami practically begged.

“Is it something like this?” Luffy asked, holding up a log pose.

“That’s exactly it,” I said, taking it from him and giving it a good look over. It was the real thing.

“Luffy? How come you have one?!” Nami punched Luffy in the face.

“Those two weirdoes dropped it on the ship.”

“They did?”

“Why did you hit me?” Luffy whined.

“Just going with the flow.”

I snorted out a laugh.

“Oh the flow?”

I handed the log pose to Nami.

“So this is the log pose. There’s no dial face.”

“There are only even routes that you can follow on the Grand Line. They all lead to Raftel, the last point. The only one in history, who confirmed that, is the King of the Pirates. It’s a legendary island,” the old man explained further.

“Raftel…”

“Then the One Piece is there?”

“Who knows? That’s the most prominent theory, but no one has been able to reach there.”

“We’ll know, once we get there.”

The old man’s reaction was a lot like mine, when I had met Luffy. I could see it in his eyes. He felt it too.

“Now that I’m done eating, can we go?”

“Did you eat this all by yourself?!” Sanji yelled.

I laughed. “Boy you’ve got one hell of an appetite.”

Nami was still in awe of the log pose. “Log pose, huh? We have to take good care of this. This is the key to our journey.”

“You damn rubber man! I wanted Nami… I wanted Nami to eat more!”  Sanji whipped around and kicked Luffy in the gut, sending him flying.

“You are quite the aggressive bunch.”

Luffy went flying past Nami, shattering the log pose.

Both Sanji and Nami received kicks for their troubles straight into the ocean.

“Wasn’t that extremely important?” Usopp said, panicking.

“Our precious log pose…”

“Don’t panic. I’ll give you mine,” the old man said.

I was trying to remember his name, but was coming up empty. I knew the face. I could picture him all those years ago, much younger. I was pretty sure he was the doctor for the crew.

“I wanna thank you guys for Laboon too.”

I ran over to the ledge. “He ate a devil fruit and you kicked him into the sea?” I asked incredulously.

I could vaguely see their shadows under the water.

“He’ll be fine,” Nami grumbled. “If you’re so concerned, go in and get him.”

“I can’t,” I said flatly.

“You eat a devil fruit too, Mira?” Usopp asked.

I froze, the question catching me off guard.

Laboon tossed Sanji, Luffy and two others up onto land.

I breathed out a sigh of relief for both their safety and the distraction. “Thanks, Laboon.”

I hadn’t had time to plan for this, to get my story straight, what I could do, what I couldn’t, how, why. I’d been fairly vague about everything so far, but questions were going to be asked and in order for trust to be established they were going to need answers.

Then again did it matter I they trusted me, if it was based on a lie?

I glanced back at Usopp. “The drip drip fruit,” I answered.

It was an easy answer, and it would buy me some time.

“Ah… I thought I’d die.”

I shook my head at Luffy.

Sanji stood up and headed towards the female of the pair of strangers. “Here, take my hand, honey.” He kneeled down and offered her a helping hand.

“Oh, thank you.”

“Nice day, isn’t it?”

“Hey,” the guy called. “We have a favor to ask.”

We all gathered around the table to hear their request.

The pair were apparently the ones that had attempted to kill Laboon that Sanji had told me about. Needless to say they weren’t on anyone’s good side. I hadn’t been there, so I didn’t harbor the same ill will, but I also had no attachments to them.

They wanted us to take them to their home, Whisky Peak, since their ship was busted and they were without a log pose.

They begged us to take them back, giving us false praise. It was a rather pathetic display and utterly transparent.

“You can ride with us,” Luffy decided.

“What!?” the pair echoed each other

Nami and Usopp looked shocked too.

“Did you say Whisky Peak? Let’s go there.”

“You realize if we set that course we’re stuck on it right?” I asked.

I had no objections. I simply wanted to make sure that my captain understood, what he was getting into. Not that I thought it mattered. Logic and forethought didn’t seem to be a large part of Luffy’s decision making process.

“We’re going out of our way to take these shadowy people?”

“What’s the problem?” Luffy asked. “Don’t worry about the small things.”

The old man- Crocus! Crocus reiterated my point.

“If we don’t like it, then we can go around one more time.”

“I see…”

“Now, can we go? Now I’ve made a promise with the whale. Let’s get ready to set sail.”

“Who on Earth are you?” the girl, Ms. Wednesday, asked.

“Me? I’m gonna be King of the Pirates.”

The two chuckled and muttered under their breath.

“You’re laughing at his ambitions. You two had a much less lofty goal, and you both failed,” I reminded them, keeping my tone casual.

They stopped laughing, looking embarrassed.

“You two aren’t on the ship yet. Something could very easily happen, and you could be left behind. You know as well as I do that the chances of you swimming from any island to the next and making it there alive are slim to none.”

They paled.

I turned on my heel and followed the others.

“I doubt that Luffy would just leave them,” Usopp told me.

“Oh I know. I got that vibe from him, but they don’t know that.”

Usopp chuckled. “You’re evil,” he teased.

I shrugged. “Runs in my family.”

We readied the ship. The pose was already set, so once we were done, it was time to set sail. Crocus and Laboon saw us off.

“To which Whisky Peak full speed ahead!”

It was a light feeling, when we left. A mixture of glee, excitement and anticipation, given life through laughter and smiles.

It was contagious, and squashed any worries I had about the journey ahead of us. I knew that this wasn’t going to be easy. The waters ahead were violent, filled with danger and darkness, which is why I held onto this moment, my first real moment as a member of the crew.

Notes: Hello, readers.

A few things

1.) While I'm going to address most of the arcs in the series, I'm not going to go over them all. The big ones will all be included, but some of the filler and whatever id going to be skipped over. I'll probably just find a way to take Mira out and have her do something else. It's not because it's too much, but it's because sometimes there's just no room for another character, sometimes Mira won't fit the situation and some times I just don't like the arc and don't want to write it. Just being honest.

2.) Logue Town and Reverse Mountain are fairly short arcs (especially, when you only write a small part of them), so they can be single chapters. Don't worry that I'm going to try to fit all of Alabasta into one chapter.

3.) This is going to take a lot longer to update. As I said I didn't have very much content to go through for Logue Town and Reverse Island, but my writing process for a fic like this is basically. Go back and watch the part I'm writing again, very vaguely plan it out and then go back and write it, so that I can hit all the right beats. It takes time.

I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. I promise that you will eventually get answers, actually in the grand scheme of this fic, they'll come fairly soon.
