#capsized ship

[newyorkthegoldenage]

The ocean liner Normandie lies heavily tilting at Pier 88, at 49th Street, on February 10, 1945, after a massive fire broke out aboard the former French Line ship. Seized by the U.S. government, the Normandie was in New York for refittings for military duty and was about to start its service as the USS Lafayette troop carrier when the fire broke out. Due to the pressure of being top-heavy from the fire-fighting water, the ship snapped her mooring lines and capsized.

If I might inflict some mental damage.

not to be insane but;

shanks dies, Mihawk joins the red hair pirates.

let me just-

but actually think about it. Shanks killed by Blackbeard before anyone gets to laughtale Mihawk distraught half out of his mind.

can't imagine not being surrounded by Shanks and his everything. Breaks unto the redforce collapses in the captain's quarters haunted by all the times Shanks wanted him to stay. how he went from asking him to join his crew, to asking him to stay just for a few more minutes, to asking nothing of him at all but Mihawk could still see the wistful smile every time he left at the break of dawn.

Mihawk haunted by the fact that if Shanks asked him now, now that it was too late, to just stay; he would. and now here he is on the red force, in Shanks' room stuck in a moment in time like the man himself will step in any minute with a quip that will delight him but he will have to pretend annoys, like they will just fall back into their routine like they always do when they haven't seen each other in months.

But Shanks will never walk through those doors again. and the red force has a new captain and Mihawk will never get the chance to tell Shanks yes. And now he has to kill Blackbeard and hope that Roronoa will come for his head soon.

and he never officially joins but he never leaves either.

Mihawk has never loved anyone enough to lose them he has absolutely no frame work for this he's devastated. a walking ship wreck

trying to describe the 9-1-1 watching experience or literally any episode of it without coming across like you’re in a manic state is perhaps impossible

tom waking up sometime during s2 in a cold sweat because it finally clicked for him why dianite was angry at him, and it’s cause he actively (instinctively even) helped out the pirates.

A brief overview of the main characters for my Mianite Fae Court Yuri AU:

Martha - A half-fae with particularly strong powers from her fae side. She works as a healer and by making protective charms against curses and other unpleasant magics, though also tends to become a liaison when someone in her town has upset a fae. Hence, she is the one that people go to when there becomes clear discontent within the fae affecting the natural life even within the town.

She heads out into the woods intending to merely get answers but finds herself mixed within a brewing war between the fae courts.

Lady Ianite - Fae queen of the court closest to Martha’s town. She is currently threatening the courts of her brothers with war as she believes one of them has stolen her greatest treasure.

She immediately sees Martha as a curiosity that she wants to tempt into a deal that will force her to remain in her court. However, she realises her status as an outsider will allow her to freely move between all three courts and tasks her to which of her brothers have stolen her treasure in exchange for Ianite ensuring the possible war doesn’t destroy her town.

‘Lady’ Furia - A “fire fae with delusions of grandeur” - at least that’s how her former fae king describes her. She was exiled from the court of Lord Dianite for an attempt on the life of the Prince, who she believes is unworthy of his title due to him “barely being a fae” in her eyes.

After her exile, she found the clearing of the shadows and founded her own “court”. She has since been attempting to build up enough power to overthrow the current courts and begin her own rule.

Sonja - A trickster fae who, while still technically a part of Lord Mianite’s court, has been successfully lured over to the side of the Furia and the Shadows. She had been frequenting the clearing before Furia’s exile, seeing the shadows as something to study as their nature seemed closer to her own than any of the fae in Mianite’s court.

Furia preyed on her loneliness in order to convince her of their own kinship, further convincing her that if anyone in Mianite’s court found out about her interacting with the Shadows, she would surely be exiled just as she had been.

Sonja now works as a double agent, sewing ideas that will lead to war within the courts. Though the appearance of Martha throws both a wrench in Sonja’s attempts to sew discourse and her loyalty to Furia when this stranger shows interest in and kindness to her.

Capsize - A sea storm given fae form, Capsize is the stolen treasure Ianite is threatening war over. She’s been bound in iron and is currently being held prisoner by Furia who both sees her as a great way to start a war and the greatest prize she as a fire fae can possess.

Capsize was originally captured during a meeting between the three courts. She had left to be alone when Sonja greeted her and asked if Ianite had been ignoring her. Despite Capsize’s protests, Sonja did manage to read enough of her jealousy towards Jordan - a new fae in Ianite’s court - to lure her to the shadow clearing. Capsize was knocked out and locked in an iron collar to both prevent her escape and from doing damage to Furia.

While she is extremely resistant and plotting to kill her captors if given any opportunity, Furia is attempting to convince her that Ianite doesn’t truly care for her. As the false fae queen knows if she can get the water fae on side, defeating Dianite would be done in the blink of an eye.

Game, set and match

Unknown to anyone else, Buck and Tommy Kinard have been casual friends with benefits for years. They’re both happy with things, until Tommy meets Eddie when the 118 turns up at his hangar looking for their missing captain.

Tommy likes Eddie – for Buck. So he sets out to do what the two clearly-in-love firefighters don’t seem to be capable of – getting them together.

I had a dream, and in my dream I felt 9-1-1 s7 releasing on Disney+ in my country. But then I woke up and it didn’t happen irl. I don’t even know if it happened in the dream. Life annoys me.

Sometimes I think about how Tucker’s enthusiastic shipping of Jordan and Capsize may have been what sunk that ship.

Mans built a whole ass church and started planning the wedding meanwhile Sparklez is like “what the fuck Tucker we’ve been on one date” and when he told Capsize about it she’s like “I’m not ready for the kinda commitment” and Jordan is desperately trying to explain that this was Not His Idea

❛ how about a kiss before i go? ❜ from the soft prompts pls? also I SWEAR if you make this angsty I will... wail in the comments but also cry bc I enjoy torturing myself and like pain -🍂

I assume you wanted Portada (Ace x Yara) for this heheh

There are references to the anime (and the Ace light novel) but no actual spoilers.

“So Pops is really sending you to take on Bohemian Knight Doma all by yourself?”

“Yeah!” Ace grinned, flexing an arm. “Pretty great, huh?”

Yara shrugged. “I mean, it’s smarter than sending the fleet if we don’t need to. Doma might be stupid enough to encroach on the Whitebeard Pirates’ territory, but he’s not going to turn down a one-on-one challenge when the alternative is facing an entire armada.”

“That’s true, too.” He laughed. “I know I only got this mission because Pops is testing me, but I feel good.” As if to prove his point, a small burst of fire flared out of his fingertips, flames quickly engulfing his entire hand. 

“Well, Fifth Division will be lying in wait should you need backup.”  

“Pssshh, backup. I’ll kick his ass before he even--”

“Hey, Ace!” 

Ace perked up at the familiar voice, glancing over to where a blue-haired man wearing a masquerade-like mask stepped off the gangplank and onto the deck of the Moby Dick. “Any news?”

“Yes. I’ve got the striker operational again. It should be good to go for your mission.”

“Great! Thanks, Deu!”

Masked Deuce smiled, giving his friend-- and former captain-- a polite bow before striding off. 

Ace turned back to Yara, grinning. “See?”

Yara tried not to smile as she shook her head. “I still think that thing is a death trap. If you fall off of it while riding the waves, there won’t be anyone around to haul your ass out of the water. The fact that Deuce designed it and not you is the only thing giving me a shred of hope.”

“Hey!” He pretended to be insulted. “I can build stuff.”

“Your attempt at fixing the starboard anchor tells me otherwise.”

“Well, maybe the anchor was being a jerk.”

Yara finally gave in, her shoulders shaking as she laughed, and Ace felt as if he’d won the lottery. His chest puffed up, pleased. 

“So…” She leaned back against the wall. “You’ve got your orders, and your-- I hesitate to call it a ‘ship’... Is there anything else you need?”

“How about a kiss before I go?” The words slipped out before he could stop them. Ace’s entire face went beet red. He laughed nervously, waving his hands in the air as Yara’s smile vanished, raising an eyebrow at him instead. “Kidding, kidding!! You don’t have to, um… because we’re not-- I mean… Sorry. Bad joke.”

“Hilarious, Portgas,” she deadpanned. 

Ace’s breath hitched as she reached over, placing a finger on the brim of his hat and tugging it down ever so slightly. A shiver ran up his spine, heart drumming erratically in his ribcage. God, she was so close to him, the scent of her favourite vanilla lotion flooding his senses. 

A small, bemused smile hinted at the corners of her lips as her hand lowered, and all Ace could think was how badly he wanted to catch it in his own and press kiss after kiss to her knuckles, her palm, her wrist; trailing down her arm until their chests were pressed closely together… letting himself drown in that beautiful gaze of hers as he held her against him, safe and snug…

She picked up the hat’s counterweight from where it hung against his bare chest, smoothing her thumb over the tiny cow skull embedded into the clay disc. “Just… Remember that you’re not invincible, as much as you like to pretend otherwise, Fire Fist.”

“It’s not like you to worry, Hellcat,” he couldn’t help but tease her in return. 

Yara let out a soft laugh. “You are going to give me a full head of grey hair by the time I’m forty, you know.”

“And you’ll still be as beautiful as ever. Er, I mean…” Heat rose to his cheeks. “You could pull it off, I’m sure.”

“There you two are, yoi.”

They glanced over as Marco approached them, giving them an amused look. “Yara, I think Vista’s looking for you.”

“Oh. I suppose I should be off, then.” She lightly touched Ace’s arm, making his heart nearly stop. “Good luck, Ace. Even if you don’t think you need it.”

With that, she strode off, heading towards the ship’s main cabins. Ace watched her go, the air around him already feeling colder without her presence. 

“You know you’re going to have to tell her someday, yoi,” Marco said, crossing his arms. 

“There’s nothing to tell her.”

“Ace…” The First Division Commander’s tone was firm, yet gentle. “You can’t help how you feel.”

“I know, I just…”

“I’m already giving up on Ace, too! I don’t care if he dies or not, I’ll just tell Garp it was an accident. It’s true that the ‘devil’s children have the devil’s luck’, and Ace is the devil’s son!”

He sighed. “She deserves far better than a good-for-nothing guy like me.” 

If she knew… There’s no way she could ever… 

Marco didn’t look convinced, but he didn’t push it any further, either. The crew had begun to gather around them, cheering as they wished Ace a speedy victory. He waved back, one foot resting on the ship’s railing as he prepared to leap onto the striker, which was waiting in the water below. As he turned around, however, he caught a flash of violet hair. For a moment, he allowed his gaze to linger on her.

Yara seemed to notice, glancing over to meet his eyes. Her lips eased into a confident smile, giving him a slight nod as if to say, you got this. Butterflies burst into his stomach, his heartbeat quickening, beating out a rhythm so desperate, so desiring, so… unworthy. And yet… 

Yet he would love her from afar anyways, even if it was the most he could ever do.
