Prefacing this by saying: I’m not a crashout and have never crashed out but sometimes it’s warranted. This being one of those times.

TLDR: @cathiief is a immature loser I have no ill feelings towards but bitch you couldn't mind your own business lmao 🤣

So, I’ve been rp-ing for at least twenty-two years, never really like doing it on tumblr for various reasons; be it making and running a whole new blog, random interactions or cross-over stuff. One of the MAIN reasons I’ve only tried a handful of times is because Tumblr has an EGREGIOUS cliche mentality and it’s the reason for this crash out because I don’t bother anyone, if you’ve ever interacted with me or followed my blog for any amount of time you will know that I keep to myself, never overshare or do this sort of thing. I’m too old for the drama and foolishness that goes on.

That being said, I’m pissed and it takes a LOT to piss me off.

In the last year of rp-ing in the One Piece fandom I’ve had some of the worst experiences in twenty-two years on the internet, let alone rp-ing which is a hobby, for fun, something people forget but come with me and I’ll explain. 

Before One Piece the last time I rp-ed was in the Pacific Rim fandom in 2013, didn’t have a bad experience just drifted away from my blog and I didn’t want to try again until someone that would become my friend reblogged some art I’d done to their rp blog. I didn’t know OP had an active rpc given how long running the series is. Sure it makes sense that it does but I had just finished the Whole Cake Island arch and ended up making an oc like a lot of fans do. This friend rp-ed the siblings and I worked up the nerve to ask them if they wanted to rp. They did, I made a blog and it was fun for months. This post isn’t about that friend. I still talk to them and adore them.�� This story is about one (1) person whom I’ve never spoken to and who I believe killed my experience with the OPRPC. We’ll get to her.

So, me and my friend get to talking and we discuss an AU of Sanji staying on Germa because his mutations worked and blah blah I end up making a rp blog for him and we have a blast.  Now, while I was rp-ing with them I saw they favored one particular person, with the number of threads, responses, etc.  Not knowing them for that long I was envious but it didn’t affect our writing or experience. I’m telling you how I felt because as an adult I know it’s silly but a human emotion to feel these things. I’m aware of my feelings and know how to act accordingly. The person this story is about, does not. 

Weeks go on and we’re rp-ing, chatting on discord, having fun and I even start shipping their characters and this person’s character; the character being a Nami. (@cathiief) and yes I’m @ing them because I do not respect them, or care in the slightest. I drew some fanart of Ichiji and Nami, memes because it got me invested in the little stories they had going on. It was fun, it was a part of the experience, I like to make fanart and draw for people I care about. I even gently reached out to the Nami on my Sanji blog at one point to see if they were interested in rp-ing but got no response which is fine. 

Now a few more weeks go by without incident. My friend and I are on discord discussing writing smut of the brothers. Yes, irl incest is bad (it goes without saying obviously) but narrative wise it's a interesting avenue to explore and we're both grown adults. I'm not here to have a proship or anti discussion. My friend makes a small ooc post about how they'll be writing said topic, that it will be under a read more and tagged to be easily ignored. We get to writing and I do the same, content is properly tagged and under a read more. Keep in mind the smut threads are maybe 2% of what we're writing, often posted in the dead of night to be the least intrusive.

A few days go by and I notice the Nami isn't monopolizing my friend's attention with inbox memes or replies. This had been a running thing between them. She would flood my friend with attention, memes, head canon posts, gifsets etc. I asked if they were good because they had been worried about writing the brothers which is why they made the post warning followers. Come to find out the Nami had said that my friend wasn’t giving them enough attention and wanted to end it. I believe they were speaking for a year at that point and had planned end game for the muses, had idk how many threads and exchanged who knows how many dms. All gone overnight. I hear this and feel so awful because beyond the rp hobby it's just a deeply shitty thing to do to someone that's your friend. I didn't pry too deeply on how close they were but my friend was very heartbroken and rightfully upset over her actions. You couldn't speak to them? You didn't value your relationship enough to even say: hey I don't like the thing you're doing and don't want to rp with you anymore or what it brought up in our threads at all. Yes, I know people don't owe you anything, “fictional incest bad”, but as someone you spoke to regularly for a year and considered a friend? Nah, that's just cruel.

We continue rping, the Nami all but a passing fart and eventually I decide to make a new blog to rp Luffy. I'm getting into the swing of rping on Tumblr and want more. My friend has moved on and even made a new side blog for Kaido.

Playing the main character of a series with over 500 named characters I assume there's plenty of fun to be had and quickly start branching out, avoiding the Nami but not blocking her because besides reaching out from my Sanji blog I have not spoken to this person once in my entire life. I'm not the one with the problem, she is and I do nothing to conceal that I'm the same person from the Sanji blog. I don't link them however because Sanji's blog is basically private anyway. 

As I'm looking for mutuals on Luffy I notice that cathiief is affiliated with a lot of blogs. I don't care and follow these blogs intent on interacting or avoid them depending on how they write or which muse they have. 

The following two examples are what happened:

I don't recall if I dmed @embcrs first or sent in a meme but they rp an Ace that survived the summit war. In dms we are getting along really well, throwing ideas back and forth, having a ball. In embcrs rules it says not to interact if you ship the asl brothers together. I don't and never have at this point. In my mind this is fine because I don't ship asl and obviously wouldn't bring up my Sanji blog and have no interest in Sanji interacting with him. We didn't get very far before suddenly I'm blocked. Which is obviously very confusing because we were getting along fine. Tumblr is a bad site and so I thought it might have been an accident, I've been blocked on accident before mid-conversation and the other person has no idea how it happened. Nope, switched to my main and the embcrs mun is vauging about not having any Luffy's to interact with … like ok? Lol. You know what's interesting about this? cathiief and embcrs ship their muses, a little scrolling shows me how again it's end game. 🤔 

I of course assume the Nami was in their ear. Oh, don't rp with cannibal they write incest.

I move on, laughing with my friends about how petty this human has to be. Next I find @chivalryburdened and we get two things started without any issue. It happens again: one moment they're on my dash, the next, gone. I've been blocked again?! This time I hadn't even reached out to the mun. Digging a little further into their blog, guess who've they've been writing smut with and endgame ship with. The same Nami. I don't recall the time between these two incidents but funny how that happened twice right? 

Wrong.

Looking through the OP rp tag I noticed a LOT of promos or post that were there suddenly aren't. People I skipped over for one reason or another, be it I hadn't the time to read their rules yet or didn't want another multi-fandom blog on my dash are gone. Extremely talkative people I've noticed sending others inboxes are gone. 🤔 Switching to my main I see I'm blocked by all of these people without reason and they are all affiliated with the nami. 

Do I have proof she buzzed around in their ear and like sheep they bowed to her word? No. Maybe they didn't like my vibes? Valid and fine whatever. But it's awfully funny how this worked out huh.

You know the cherry on top of all of this? cathiief herself doesn't have my Sanji or Luffy blogs blocked. 😂 Like are you keeping an eye on me to inform your clique? Are you bored? Why are you not minding your God-given business? Aren't you tired? Are you mad? Girl, it was never that deep. I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU from Tom, Dick or Harry. What are you doing LMAO. 

After saying all that you might be wondering why I even wrote this. Hell, I doubt she's going to read this or any of the other people I've @’d in this post will. I wrote this because what IN the world is going on in rpc’s in general. It's a race to the bottom. These same people will wonder why the rpc is dead and no one is reaching out besides the same three people if that. You killed it. You are policing people. You are tattling, in other people's business, throwing away friendships, all for what? To have your nose in the air and squawk about being the most morally good, thought-crime free writer in the whole community? That doesn't get you the gold star you think it does. I wrote this because I needed to vent my frustration.

I'm going to close this out by saying I don't wish @cathiief any ill will or anything really. I never knew you. You're a loser and kinda sad actually. I don't care if you think I'm a bitch or gross or whatever. I'm not here to psychoanalyze you because I don't care about you. I don't respect you. I'm ambivalent about you.

@cathiief asked:🔥🔥🔥 gimme gimmeeee Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.

🔥Listen up, fandom; bisexuality exists and just because a female character thinks another is pretty doesn't instantly mean she's a lesbian. There are other sexualities out there. I constantly see bi-erasure everywhere and it's why I will NEVER write Ikkaku as a lesbian. She is bisexual and demiromantic and the more fandom tries to use that utterly wretched scene in the Blackbeard fight as "proof" she's a lesbian the more I will commission her in m|w ships to spite them (I of course already would want the commissions but spite gives me extra motivation). Yes, Ikkaku is attracted to women and I've headcanoned that for years. But I've also seen bisexuality ignored as a possibility and erased in fandoms for so long that it gives me the ick to even entertain the thought of her being a lesbian. Honestly, because of the way fandom is, I'll never write a lesbian muse unless it's stated in canon. Bisexuality exists and deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated in fandom, not demonized and ignored. So Ikkaku is bisexual and no one is changing my mind. Ever.

🔥While Oda drawing female characters looking similar is annoying, I honestly don't care that much about the lack of body variety in One Piece because what he does instead is craft complex, interesting women with unique personalities, backstories, and abilities. That's far more important to me. I didn't care that all my Barbies had the same body type: I cared that they had different jobs and I gave them all unique personalities and I could tell them apart easily that way. Yes, representation and body diversity are great, but I'll take well-rounded, well-written female characters over that any day.

🔥I'm happy Yamato didn't join the Straw Hats. I was never on the Yamato hype train to begin with, but I think him not joining is important because if he had, that would have taken away from Jimbei's development as a Straw Hat. Fish Dad needs to understand and adjust to the madness of his new captain and crew. Yamato joining would have put the focus on him and not Jimbei, and I don't like that. So I gave a massive sigh of relief when Yamato stayed behind on Wano.

"You looked like you could use a midnight snack." It wasn't entirely true, she looked more like she could use a drink, but he wasn't the kind to provide booze without something to eat alongside it. Thus the selection of several clementine-inspired munchies on the plate that he placed next to her. The last remains of the villagers still partying the victory over Aarlong around the campfires that had appeared as the night drew on.

"May I?" Motioning to the seat next to her he waited, not wanting to intrude if she needed time alone. He could understand after all, what it felt to be this protective over your chosen family, not the one that you'd been born to. Others might claim that it was different, but he personally believed that it was exactly the same. Sometimes it was the family that found you that was the one that you'd truly needed all along.

"Do you feel... anything?" Her head tilted at him, her chin resting upon her closed fist. She had no interest in peeking into the mind of the sick Vinsmoke Judge, but she couldn't help but feel curious. A catlike curiosity that accompanied most scientists; and while weather was her chosen field, she couldn't help but wonder how the mad one achieved it. While she was only capitalizing on the prince's company, she figured she might as well attempt to get to know him. Even if her interest dwindled, past his money and status. It appeared Ichiji didn't mind her questions, which encouraged her to keep asking. Stopping at the café, midst their shopping trip, had also spurred her thoughts into motion. He had been quiet too long, and Nami needed to break the silence. Her brow furrowed in thought, a hand landing upon his wrist. The iced coffee she'd wanted so badly to stave off the heat had all but been forgotten. "Happiness?" Sanji was always so forthcoming in his anger, his happiness, his love. How funny, how his brothers couldn't be. "Do you ever feel excited? Or sad..? What about your brothers?"

One eyebrow arches at her question and he contemplates her words. They had been shopping a good portion of the day already, and he was not one for words, even as she dragged him all over. He could not name the sheer number of stores they had visited already, for it would have been a waste of energy to keep track. "Contrary to what Father believes, yes."

He knew some of what the things he felt were, he was not entirely numb to emotion or the world. He was not an unfeeling creature, he just was taught not to care. He knew emotion... but there were several that he could not identify, nor did he know how to even begin to express them. "I know anger. Jealousy, rage and pity. "

"And the feelings I can't identify. My heart racing before a fight, my stomach doing tumbles like when I look at you." He paused as he though over more of the emotions he felt and could not place. "A feeling like a lump in my throat that I could not scream away when Mother died, no mater how much I wanted."

He shift to rest his cheek on his hand, contemplating more. "I don't even know if I have ever smiled what my mother called a real smile."

"Here, if you are to attend the festival you should be dressed properly." Kneeling down next to Nami she settled herself before placing the tray with the clothing she prepared for the other neatly folded upon it. Sliding it towards the other female with a soft smile. "They are from my private collection since Denjiro was able to bring what....is appropriate for a princess to wear to the castle."

Many of her outfits would no longer be as such considering the drastic change in rank returning to her true station caused. The styles worn by Geisha after all were designed for more sinful acts than what a princess would ever entertain. "It is the least I can do after you helped save my people."

Reiju laughed softly as she came over to the navigator from behind, hands reaching up to smooth over her shoulders and press her lips against the woman's temple. "Mm, you don't need to worry. My father never modified himself, so he's as weak to lightening as any normal man would be." Her voice was a purr as she spoke.

"And I'll keep his guards off of you don't worry." Reiju trailed her lips from Nami's temple to her cheek, kissing it softly. "It'll be fun for me to watch and be the second best stress relief I could offer you."

While the crew celebrated and rang in the New Year, Nami was already occupying herself, taking down Christmas decorations. She appreciated High Tide's reach when she needed it, but for now, she had occupied herself on the step ladder, just a few heads above where the mech stood. The countdown began, and even Nami ceased her duty, to pay attention to the cheers of the crew. Her arm propped atop the ladder where she stood, before she reached for Tide's cheek. A soft caress, to tilt his head up to her, for once. A coy, playful smirk rested on plump lips, before she leaned in to press a kiss to his cheek. Just centimeters away from his mouth. Her kiss didn't linger, though her lashes fell at half mast, eyeing the robot with a gaze that could almost be considered flirtatious.

"Happy New Year, High Tide. Hope you don't mind --- I think it's bad luck if we don't ring in the new year with a kiss. Isn't that right?"

This year was very eventful indeed. Ever since Nami introduced High Tide to the strawhats after being rescued by the bot, he was having a blast with the crew. Of course, since he was a robot, they all had a lot of questions for him and even with that, he still sticked around with them. He helped them with the Marines, they helped him patch any potential damage in his plating. It’s a teamwork through and through!

But of course, he sticked around with Nami the most. Since he knew most of the water terrain by hand and could detect things easier with the help of his radars, he always helped her out with map making since he was a natural at that. He always helped with everything possible the best he could with any tricks he had up his sleeve, never expecting a reward in return.

But this time was... different.

It was New Year’s Eve, and High Tide once again helped the crew organize things out to celebrate! The ship was generally a mess, but he offered himself to clean it up the next morning. With a chuckle of his own he left the crew celebrating to help Nami take down the Christmas decorations of the pine tree — there was a lot of stuff on that poor thing that it was a miracle it held up during Holidays. The countdown began a few seconds earlier, but the mech didn’t pay that much attention to it as he was too focused trying to unwrap the lights out of his pipes until the navigator pulled his focus to her, making him stop fidgeting with the wires.

High Tide froze for a moment as her hand reached for his face, but he didn’t move or pulled away. He could feel how soft and delicate her skin was, making the cold metal on his face slowly heat up a little in embarassment. Green optics looked at her face for a moment, focusing on her delicate features. The soft pink lips, the large brown eyes full of determination, the orange tones and undertones of her hair... Truly, he appreciated all of it.

His trail of thoughts were momentarily cut when she pulled him for a kiss on the cheek, his optics widening for a moment. It was rather quick, but it was so close to his lips that he almost froze there again if it wasn’t for Nami’s gaze to make him go back into his thoughts together with her words.

“H-Hm,” his optics side glanced the clock. There was 10 seconds left... Perfect. He looked back at Nami with a small shine of his greens. “Yeah... You’re right, it could bring bad luck without a kiss for the New Years...”

A dark metal hand reached for her cheek, gently cupping it. The softness of her skin gently brushed against his warm metal, a smile curling on his features as he heard the countdown reach one... and calmly pulled her for a proper kiss.

His mind was racing fast like the beat of his spark, everything around them seemingly slowing down. To avoid further panic, he focused on what he could feel, that being Nami’s plump lips against his metallic ones. The softness of her skin against the hardness of his. His hand reached for the back of her head, letting the strands of her ginger hair slip between his fingers as he caressed it. It was overwhelming... But in a good way. Overwhelmingly positive, even.

Lingering for just a little longer, the mech parted their lips and the world came back to normal speed, his eyes still lit up by how audacious he just was. His mind was rapidly throwing all kind of thoughts all around, but he decided to focus on the present the best he could by pulling a playful cocky smile with a chuckle.

“But if it wasn’t a proper kiss it wouldn’t work, don’t ye think?”

One brow arched at the grumpy sound that reverberated from her throat. Clearly, he'd hit a nerve. So much for trying to look like he cared. He'd thought he might as well try since he was traveling with the Straw Hats to Dresrossa. He was also a doctor and he could tell it wasn't just one night of good sleep she'd missed but several. That could be dangerous considering she was the navigator.

"Tsk." Lifting his gaze from her he moved past her to where the tea had been set. Pouring himself a cup before taking a seat a little ways away from her. He knew better than to invade someone's space when they were sleep-deprived. "I don't sleep well to begin with and that's not the issue."

Pinning her with a look he added. "You're the navigator and these waters are treacherous, you need your sleep so your senses don't get muddled."

❌ 😜

          【 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐀 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐊!! 】       « My muse’s data has been compromised! Send a symbol to discover: ❌ - A piece of information that could be considered blackmail material »                      @cathiief

          It's no secret that Kid would do anything in his power to protect Shou. If there was no other way around it, he would die in order to protect her. There should be nothing particularly surprising about the fact that his girlfriend's safety could be used to effectively blackmail Kid, and if compliance was the only way to guarantee her safety, then he would do whatever he had to do.

However, though he would very much hate to admit to this, under the right circumstances, the same could also apply to the other Straw Hats as well.           If Kid was forced into a position where one of Shou's nakama was kidnapped and was being held hostage, and their fate depended entirely on him cooperating, he would do so in order to save them.

     This isn't because he considers them allies, and it certainly isn't because he considers them friends or cares for them individually. His only motivation would be to prevent Shou from suffering the crushing pain of losing her crewmates. The guilt of watching her grieve over them and knowing he had an opportunity to prevent her misery would haunt him.      If the roles were reversed, he suspects that Shou would also do the same to keep one of his own nakama alive, so he wouldn't fail to uphold that on his end.

He still considers the Straw Hats rivals. He isn't guarding them and he isn't going out of his way to babysit them. He wouldn't come running to save them if they had the means to save themselves, and he wouldn't help them if the situation wasn't life threatening. He still intends to surpass them, and he would gladly fight and defeat every last one of them.

     However, he cannot be responsible for them dying, either directly or indirectly. If they died because of a situation that had nothing to do with him, then so be it.

          He's really not happy about it, but it is true that to some degree, the threat of one of the Straw Hats dying can be used as blackmail against Kid.

⭐️ Ikkaku has absolutely picked Nami's brain for navigational equipment ideas. After all, she would have the best insight into what problems navigators face and could be solved. She then brings these ideas to life, working hard to build them and then having Nami approve them. Ostensively Ikkaku does this to help Bepo, as naturally best bear navigator deserves the best equipment, but Nami still gets one for herself as thanks for helping in the research and development process.

"What do you mean, I can't have a bigger spending allowance? I wanna buy more meat!" Luffy frowned and crossed his arms as he looked at Nami, a low whine leaving him. The money was always handled by his navigator, and this island had more treats than his wallet would allow him to buy. He had already been scolded for trying to swipe something to eat without paying for it. Not even explaining his treasure tab had made Nami budge.
