#chapter 1036

Usopp appreciation post!

The man is a god at seeing through facades of others when they are trying to give up on themselves, or their own happiness/freedom, out of some obligation they don’t have to. Where as Luffy usually gets involved when he sees someone else trying to take freedom away from his friends. Cool how well his and Usopp’s abilities compliment the other’s.

It’s something every Straw Hat has done at some point, though Oda seems to intentionally have Usopp be involved in a key way when it’s the women he knows who are the ones being overtly self-sacrificial. Which I’m fairly certain now is a reflection of Usopp telling his mother not to give up on believing in impossible things as a child, because being a pirate means nothing is impossible.

Nap time

Sasaki to Miyano - Sasaki x Miyano

A/N: Another comm to the one and only @wertzunge!! I feel so lucky for having such a supportive and encouraging friend around me. Thank you so much for your patience and trust, Max!! I hope you like it!

Summary: After a fruitful date afternoon, Sasaki suggests that he and Miyano take a nap before dinner - however, Miyano is not tired yet...

Word count: 1036 words

“S-senpai!” Miyano squealed, his arms tightening around Sasaki’s neck and legs wrapping around his body. “You don’t have to carry m- w-wahh!!”

“Hahah, don’t worry, Miya-chan,” Sasaki chuckled, smiling fondly as he caught Miyano looking over his shoulder, checking out the height, “I’m not going to drop you”. At least, he didn’t plan to - and hoped he wouldn’t.

Getting home after a date with his cute Miya-chan always rewarded Sasaki the cutest memories of his partners. Miyano would always be rambling about the latest released chapter of his novels, or even giving a thorough review of the movie they just watched, and Sasaki was always more than glad to hear him.

This time, however, after visiting a couple different stores, Miyano looked a little… tired. And what kind of boyfriend would Sasaki be if he couldn’t spare his lover from walking the rest of the way? 

Back to the present, Sasaki tightly hugged Miyano with one arm while using his free hand to unlock the door. “See? I told you’d be fine.”

“T-this is embarrassing, senpai…” Miyano mumbled, pressing his face into the crook of Sasaki’s neck while an adorable shade of red spreaded over his cheeks. “P-put me down, please.”

Despite Miyano’s request, letting him go so soon wasn’t part of Sasaki’s plan. Walking past their home’s entrance, Sasaki kicked off his shoes and walked towards the bedroom, taking extra care within each step to make sure he wouldn’t bump into anything. “Here we are, Miya-chan,” Sasaki spoke softly, feeling his heart skip a bit at how adorable his boyfriend looked when he turned his head around to check where they were.

“Why… the bedroom?” Miyano frowned slightly, turning his head back around to face Sasaki.

“Aren’t you tired, Miya-chan? Let’s take a nap,” Sasaki hummed, slowly approaching the bed with his lover still in his arms, “we can have dinner afterwards.”

As much as Miyano would usually complain about the excess of care in Sasaki’s actions, he couldn’t really argue with such a good plan. “Hmm… sounds good, senpai. B-but can you put me down now?”

Sasaki smiled and nodded, lifting one of his knees into the mattress and bending over to gently place Miyano among the pillows. “Of course,” Sasaki muttered, gently sliding his hands across his partner’s body while he did so. “Let me take care of you, Miya-chan ~”

Those words didn’t make sense to Miyano at first. He shyly supported his torso on his elbows, trying to get a better look at what his senpai was doing. The sight, however, managed to fluster Miyano more than anything else at that point. 

“U-um, senpai!” He whimpered, feeling Sasaki tug at the back of his ankle and pull his shoe off his foot, “I can do it myself!”

Sasaki lifted his eyes from Miyano’s foot inside his grip to his adorable flushed face. “Nooo way,” he mumbled, his voice filled with defiance and stubbornness. Miyano gritted his teeth, trying to pull his leg away from Sasaki’s.

“I’m not so tired that I can’t take off my own shoes!”

However, Sasaki didn’t seem to be willing to let go. “I want to take care of you, Miya-chan,” he pouted, swiping a finger up the sole that he currently had a hold on and earning a squeal from the smaller guy.

“S-senpai, wahait!” Miyano reached out for Sasaki, but he and his hands were just out of his reach. “That- ahahah! W-why ahare you tihihickling me?!”

“You said you weren’t tired enough to let me take care of you,” Sasaki mumbled, even sounding a little cold as he scribbled Miyano’s socked sole with his free hand, “so I will just tire you out”.

It took Sasaki very little-to-no-effort to turn his hesitating, shy boyfriend into a mess of giggles and pleas. He moved his fingers up from Miyano’s heel to the middle of his foot, lazily repeating this pattern once, twice, thrice…

“S-sehehenpai!! AHAhah, t-that’s nohohot fahahair!!” Miyano whined, kicking his free leg and clenching his hands around the bedsheets. “Lehehet go!!”

“I can’t, Miya-chan, you’re not tired yet,” Sasaki explained calmly, deciding to move his hand a little higher and tickle the arches of Miyano’s foot. As louder and panicked laughter poured from the other’s lips, Sasaki knew this was a good idea. “Does it tickle more here?”

The bluntness of that question alone was as effective as any teasing Sasaki could possibly come up with. Miyano hugged a nearby pillow, thrashing his head left and right, “sehehenpai!! NOHOhohot thehehere!!”

Sasaki smiled, unbothered, and didn’t stop. Not even when Miyano tried to crawl away or flailed his limbs. He knew he shouldn’t get carried away, but it was so hard to not want to hear more of that adorable, boyish giggles. “Miya-chan, stop kicking me,” he groaned as Miyano somehow managed to hit his face for the third time, pushing Sasaki’s head back with his free foot.

“I’m sohOHOhorry!! I cahahan’t hehehelp it!”

Those words felt like an arrow piercing through Sasaki’s heart. Even when he was being “bullied” and restlessly tickled, he still looked utterly cute. “Heh, don’t worry, it didn’t hurt,” Sasaki teased, trying to worm up his fingers under Miyano’s toes.

“AhahAHAh!! PLehEHEhease, senpahAHAHAI!!”

As sudden as it started, Sasaki stopped the ticklish onslaught, freeing Miyano’s ankle from his grip. “Oh,” he gasped quietly, looking down to Miyano’s foot in his lap, “sorry, Miya-chan. Did it hurt?”

“N-no, ahaha…” Miyano wheezed, his vision a little blurry as small tears of mirth still clinged to his lashes. His body went limp on top of the soft mattress, barely having strength to hug the pillow between his arms. “J-just tihickled.”

“Hm, and are you tired now, Miya-chan?” Sasaki spoke while climbing onto the bed, his body towering over Miyano’s smaller figure. The other nodded, a faint smile lingering in his lips. “Good, then let’s sleep. I will make you something to eat when we get up”.

With the silent agreement to their plans for later, Sasaki snuggled closer to his boyfriend, pushing away the pillow and resting his head over Miyano’s chest. Listening to his accelerated heartbeat, Sasaki couldn’t help but feel the warmth spreading over his own face. “You’re so cute, Miya-chan”.

- One Piece Chapter 1036 Colour Spread by Oda Eiichiro

[beaulesbian]

i'm caught up with end of wano, so here's some parallels from one piece that could be or don't have to be connected, but are still pretty cool.

long post ahead & wano spoilers

protecting new era:

rayleigh protecting zoro at sabaody from an attack by kizaru, ch 511

luffy protecting law from an attack by doflamingo, with same move as rayleigh above, dressrosa ch 782

at the end of wano, ch 1055, shanks telling ryokugyu a similar thing as rayleigh above ("don't pick the buds before they sprout. their era is only just the beginning"),

shanks "when the new shoots that just changed pirating history are exhausted, (..) are you that afraid of the new era?!"

---

zoro king of hell

same page as luffy protecting law - with haki clashing against doflamingo, the panels after that talking about supreme king haki - qualities of a king,. in this context for doflamingo, ch 782

at amazon lily ppl reacting to luffy using supreme king haki, while he doesn't know he just did, ch. 519. "that's the haki of the chosen ones' only one in millions has that spirit!"

vs, zoro unknowingly unleashing haki of supreme king for (possibly) the first time, ch 997

and later during his rooftop fight against kaido, (and still denies/ doesn't know what they're talking about, which is very interesting). ch 1010

then during his fight with King, unleashing haki, which makes others around fall unconscious (as mentioned above to doflamingo is a sign of supreme king haki), ch 1033

and some more chapters later, claiming the title of King of Hell (funny in this context it was told to doflamingo he was chosen by the heavens, and for zoro he became the king of hell. smth smth about the character work there).,

and as always - connected to luffy and his dreams!. ch 1036

then there's the asura figure surrounding zoro's powers,

and i find it so interesting that on wikipedia about asura (which zoro's sword and fighting styles are also based on with hindu and buddhist religions) is mentioned they're "considered enemy of the gods"

i like how it's the same phrase as we also heard in the manga before form law's flashbacks about corazon, ch 764

this is in the context of the people with the D. name, and then mostly used for law himself, and luffy and how far he's come to truly wreck the world government, as well as them being a threat to the celestial dragons.

luffy and nika:

from point above, i like how the "enemy of gods" being applied to people with the name D. is also interesting in the context of luffy awakening his devil fruit powers, which are named sun god nika. (i know that in the phrase "enemy of gods" mean gods as the celestial dragons, but it's still interesting)

which doesn't take away from luffy's character as i was a bit worried at first.

he's testing the new skills and powers, and he sees how he can reach the new limits he couldn't before. it might have been the devil fruit that chose who would eat it, but it's luffy and his dream that make the decisons., ch 1045

and ch 1049

luffy in ch 507 & 1053, his core ideals are still the same

---

not fighting someone

shanks not fighting the mountain bandits, and luffy not understanding it, ch 1

jaya arc, luffy and zoro not fighting against bellamy, and nami not understanding at first, ch 225

and ch 1054, momonosuke telling yamato not to fight the navy guy because he wants to be able to protect wano, and let yamato go to the seas as he wants to - it's just that similar energy that luffy has when he tells someone not to fight (or when to fight), without almost any explanations.

also loved this usopp moment!, - could be paralelled to his whole character arc. ch 1036.

he's so real for saying this to kin and kiku (and samurai in general). he's always scared and sometimes can be acting like a coward, but he always, always, stands up for his crew and fights to live through whatever hell luffy puts in front of them.

-- wano was so good and there are so many thoughts about one piece in my head now, about each of the characters and their development/meanings/themes! OTL

Chapter 7: The cartel hide out

Warning : Long a** chapter about 1036, other than that none

MasterList

Ghost tapping his boots arm crossing on his chest, a frown plastered on his face even though he wearing a mask the others could tell that he was annoyed 

“Patient LT..” told Soap beside him who adjusting his rifle

 “Don't let Claw get cranky with you again Ghost, or I'll really gonna steal ‘er from you” a smug smirk planted on Graves's face

 “That’s a good idea, Oye Hermano! Make her angry with you again!” Alejandro perk at the idea

 ‘Heh...with that I will steal her away from 141’ a dirty plan formed in Alejandro's head

 “Colonel..” Rudy stares at Alejandro deadpan, The Colonel flinches at his second Commander as he slumps in defeat

 “...I mean.. don't want any trouble between you two..” Rudy nodded crossing his arm on his chest, staring intimidate at Alejandro 

 Then the Hybrid dramaticly comes... she wearing a civilian clothes of course she hid her ears in a hat along with her fluffy tails said that she got an intel of the cartel hide out and so is the El Sin Nombre ,God who knows where did she find out.., she panting after that running and so is her hair her peach sundress disheveled

“So...sorry! t-to kept you waiting...Mas..ter!..Haa..haa..I...I know where it is!”

“Whoa whoa Gatita calm down..here have some drink first” Alejandro handed her...a bottle of chocolate milk, as she gulp it greedily Ghost and Soap raised their eyebrows

“ya sure it's okay to give her chocolate milk?” Graves ask Alejandro skeptically, considering that cat is forbidden to eat or drink chocolate

“Ay hermano she’s a half human remember?” Rudy crossing his arm smirk at Graves

“Ah..yeah fair enough” Graves amused at the thought

“Beside its her favorite~..” Alejandro scratched under her neck after she’s done drinking her milk

‘How the F***  he knows that?!’ Ghost and Soap gaze at Alejandro in disbelief, they the one who know Claw longer than him

‘How the hell Alejandro get all chummy with Claw?!’ Soap pout getting the jealousy heat

Ghost cleared his throat approaching Claw

“You’re late..soilder”

“Ah! Master Ghost!”

“did you find it?”

“Yep~! Along with the El Sin Nombre, they told me that some people always calling El Sin Nombre name inside there and some um..bald man there said ‘Mándalo a El Sin Nombre’ and send people inside, ‘t was yesterday my intel heard it ” Claw explain to them

“Look likes that the place” Soap glance at Ghost who deep in thought as Alejandro does

“but um..well..” she’s a little bit hesistant fidgeting her sharp nails

“What it is Claw?” Ask Graves urge her to spill whatever information Claw has

“..its umm the cartel liutenant..and all of the VIP will come there” They look at each other absorbing the information, Claw's heart beating fast she has cold sweat not because after running but awaiting their reactions to this

After all she hasn’t yet shown them one of her most special skill...

“Claw..show us the place” Ghost command her, then she beamed as her tail and her ears popped out making the hat fell down

“Y-Yes Master!”

But one thing that on their mind is....where did Claw get the intel from?

.

 And then they’re gear up so is Claw who changed back from her civilian clothes, she direct them to the place and went spying on the Place

“La Casa de Sin Nombre..” Soap observe the Villa with telescope

“Um El Sin Nombre Lugartenientes its his”

“Good girl, you learning” Alejandro praise Claw rubbing between her ears, she lean into his gloved hand purring in delight

“Got any idea what the meeting about Claw?” Ask Ghost, then Claw point her finger at each of them still purring on Alejandro hands

“Las Almas is burning, and they want to know who lit the fire” Alejandro smirk

“You sure Sin Nombre will be there?” Claw nod at Ghost

“100%!”

“I got enough Shadow here to take over the whole damn country” suggest Graves, and Claw raised her eyebrows at his statement

“I prefer if you didnt” Alejandro dissagree

Claw detach herself from Alejandro as they discuss about the plan, she observe the villa with telescope

‘hm..maybe if I sneak in with my second form...’ Her ears twitching at the conversation

“Get one of us inside find the boss” Graves folding up his hands

“roll him up”

Tails swirling she volunteer herself to get inside the Villa

“I’ll do it!”

“I’ll do it”

Claw snap her head at Soap ,as he at her

And in that moment all of them became protective

“Na’ah Claw too risky” Graves crossing his arms eyes narrow at her

“Gatita...you go in there they’ll gonna kill you”

“Being a Hybrid making it more worse if they caught you Claw, they could use you”

“B-But Im gonna sneak in just fine, dont worry! And beside...I dont want to saw Master Soap get killed there...”

“Oh...Bonnie..I appreciate your worries, but Ghost right...if they caught you...its all over”

Claw pouting

“I...may’ve not yet tell you guys all of myself...but please!...trust me..I’ll sneak in and look for Sin Nombre..”

They look each other considering her words

“And how did you plan to sneak in there?Kitten? Its heavily guard..the only get in there is be the intel they want” Graves put his hand on his hip, Claw seemed a little conflicted at first

“....Could you guys give me some space?...the smoke is always make human cough”

They look confused but do what she told anyway, after that Claw close her eyes take a deep breath and letting it out slowly

Suddenly a puff of smoke coming out from her, making the other closed their eyes and nose

“C-Claw?!” Soap He swayed his hand around trying to get the smoke out of his sight

“What the...?” Ghost mutter squinting his eye, when the smoke gone....and so is Claw...Leaving only her clothes and gear on the floor

“The hell?” Graves approached Claw's shirt

Then the bump inside her clothes moved, the creature inside it getting out from it

Alejandro making an exicted gasp hands covering his mouth, his eyes glimering

“You...gotta be kiddin’ me” Soap huff in amused

“Mroww~” a fluffy creature , its blue wide eyes glowed in the dark , its fluffy tails swishing around

And so...Claw the cat Hybrid became a real CAT

Bittersweet Blood

About:

What if Sally Jackson was Loki Odinson? See Loki and Percy take the Marvel Universe by storm.

First - Previous - Next Chapter

Chapter 2, Part 1: The Sea Protects

Loki wakes up the next day clinging to Poseidon. He sighs, his bloodshot eyes, dried tear tracks, and dry throat greet him as he is raw from crying and sobbing into his lover's arms for most of the night. Poseidon appears to still be asleep (a rarity for the god to actually sleep), and Loki goes to grab some water, once again frustrated he had to seal his magic, but comforted he changed back to his original form for now, so he is in a physically conforming body for once. Especially since coming to Midgard when he's in a male mindset instead of his default as Sally physically all the time. 

He gulped the glass of water greedily down, the cool water refreshing and very much needed. He stares at the yellow light of the sun making its way through the cabin's windows as rain lightly drips down the window pane. Loki wondered if his late maternal grandfather Freyr was somehow looking at him, his essence now infused with the universe around him, as is the fate of all faded gods. He was, after all, the god of the sun, fertility, peace, and rain, and all those things were currently present. Loki thought it was an omen, a good or bad one Loki wasn’t sure of, though. Maybe his baby would join his grandfather as well. 'No! Stop, thinking about your baby's death, Loki!' 

Ugh, Loki's mood is in the gutter again. Maybe he can grab more sleep before Poseidon wakes up, so he doesn't have to think about anything anymore.

Unfortunately, once Loki got under the covers, careful not to wake Poseidon. All he could think about was his child's doom.

He knew that it wouldn't be easy to have this child, but he didn't think that his unborn child already had a death sentence on them. The child, If going by the prophecy, they will die when they are sixteen! They won't even make it to their first ᛈᚨᛋᛋᚨᚷᛖ ᛟᚠ ᚲᚺᛁᛚᛞᚺᛟᛟᛞ ("Passage of childhood"). 

They won't even make it anywhere close to adulthood, at least by going how Asgardians age (if the child will even age like an Asgardian!). Asgardians reach adulthood on their 500th birthday (or an equivalent of midgardian's 20th), and ugh Loki himself is only 1036! Equivalent to 25 for midgardians! He's too young to be a mother!

Loki won't even age an adult Asgardian year when this child's birth and death is set (which is every 100 years)! Loki can't breathe! It's too soon, he hasn't even had his child yet and he's going to lose them in a blink of an eye!

Loki thought he was done with his crying last night, but here it is again. Luckily, before Loki can get lost in his sorrows, strong arms wrap around him and hold him steady while he cries. Loki smells the soothing ocean, and he is glad his lover is right here with him.

"Are you alright, my dear?" Poseidon asks once Loki shaking and sobbing dies down.

Loki nods into Poseidon's chest and sighs into his embrace, "I just feel so incredibly overwhelmed, Poseidon. I don't know what to do, and I already feel like I'm mourning a child who isn't even born yet."

"Not to mention all the hardships this child will have to go through by being our child. Will they even have support from any gods aside from us? Or will their very existence have to remain a secret? Their powers and magic sealed away, lest other gods try and kill them?!" Loki yells frustrated.

Poseidon breathes deeply, troubled and worried for his child. However, he knows that not all gods will be against this child, perhaps it's time for Loki to meet some of his family.

"My star, I can't speak for all the gods, but I know not all will be against our child. While I do think the child will be safer with less people knowing their full heritage, as word will be less likely to spread, I know my wife Ampritrite and my son Triton are loyal to the sea, to me, and would never harm any of my children and I know they would help if they are informed of this dire situation."

"Your wife?! Wouldn't she be like Hera, and resent you and my child for being born of unfaithfulness."

Poseidon laughs, "My αγάπη (“love”)," he looks fondly into Loki's emerald eyes, so much like the jewel but more - filled with life and magic of the worlds, "We are Greek. We rarely conform to one lover. When Amphitrite agreed to be my queen, she agreed because she and I got to keep our freedom. We both take our own lovers from time to time. Sometimes we even find partners we both favor. However, we still love one another as husband and wife, as she is forever my queen, as I am her king."

Loki huffs but still feels a pang in his heart. He knew their love was temporary, but he still wants Poseidon’s comforting embraces and nicknames and love. However, he hides his pain by rolling his eyes, "You didn't think to tell me this before?"

"Like you didn't tell me that you were a god?" Poseidon shoots back playfully.

"Fair." Loki concedes.

"And you're sure that Amphitrite and Triton won't mind, and even help?" Loki asks worriedly, searching into Poseidon's eyes and finding the greens and blues of the calm ocean waves to be reassuring.

"Absolutely." Poseidon says with absolute certainty.

Notes:

My chapters here on Tumblr are going to be shorter than what will be posted on my Ao3 account for practicality.

I will link the Ao3 fic as well when I post it there.

Also, for how Asgardians age. They age normally until they reach 12, and then their age slows significantly (and will physically and mentally age a year for about every 61 years lived). Then, they reach adulthood at 500 (or 20 for us humans and will physically age a year for every 100 years lived).

Treacherous [Cardan POV]

My interpretation of Cardan's POV from the night he wrote the Alice in Wonderland note. Jude. Jude. Jude.

☾ warnings: confused yearning cardan, not sure there is any?, mention of drink & powders, not explict smutty dream

☾ read on ao3: here.

☾ wc: 1036

“Oh, Cardan.” Her sighs echo into the shadowed trees around us.

I grip at every piece of skin I can reach. Though she is below me, I am the one drowning in her presence. Blissfully unaware to any semblance of touch except nails digging into my back, the hot shallow breaths on my neck, and her warmth I am repeatedly sinking into. Little bruises had begun to show on her collar bone and if one were to look carefully, more would be found on her inner thighs.

My stomach twisting at every little sound which escapes her mouth, urging myself on in hope to be blessed with more.

My name on her lips, I know this would be my undoing. What would finally drive me into madness. The becoming of a mere beggar, my only wish to hear her say my name. No matter whether whispered and breathless. Hell, in this nightmare, I’d settle for it being screamed in rage.

⋆⁺⋆⋆⁺⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺

It was not always like this.

Many times, she had surrendered to him, the only words the mortal girl dare to utter being pleas. Begging for him to do many improper things to her. Acts which would seem unbefitting to any other respected prince. Yet, he was not that kind of prince, and such acts were expected of him by now.

Oh, Cardan please. She would beg. It is your mercy I am at.

⋆⁺⋆⋆⁺⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺

Another countless consecutive night, I’ve awoke from a fitful sleep. Restful nights have become a luxury I don’t often receive without, what others would call, an obscene amount of drink or powders. But no amount drink nor powders could free me from this torment.

I’m unsure how long I lay breathless among ruined sweat-soaked sheets before I rip them from my body, recoiling from the bed. Relieved to feel the cool of the wood chain press against my back, instead of the stick of linen.

This is entirely absurd and should be the least of my worries. My supposed girlfriend is frolicking around with my apparent best friend, and I cannot even get a simple mortal to leave me in a moment’s peace.

I fail in my attempt to disregard my most recent horror, memories forcing me to recall each moment. I need to forget each one. But I cannot. I remember them all.

Breath fails me just as much as forgetting does, I cannot go on like this. I am entirely restless.

Jude. She's just a blip. Her sad short mortal life merely just a chapter in comparison to my immortal one, I remind myself. She'll be gone before I've even noticed the years have passed. Jude. Gone. Buried beneath the strange mortal soil in which she came from. Gone and everything will be as though my mind was never plagued.

And yet even now after she's vanished, she remains remembered by the land. Her mark clinging onto the earth. The earth clinging onto her. Jude. As though she's supposed to be here.

But she's not.

It is unsettling, unnatural.

My skin itches whenever her & her twins’ blanket is a foot too close to ours, but she's not even here and I feel like I'm on fire. Invisible flame biting at my skin, engulfing my heart and shooting down to my gut. An appallingly disgusting sensation that cannot be properly explained to those unknowing of the feeling.

I fear I may lash out at any moment. A tamed animal resorting back to its feral ways, and she knows.

She knows; because she is the same. Nothing more than a dog trained to not bite the hand that feeds it. But every so often, something must give.

And something has.

Despite my, as of late highly frequent, delirious state there is no mistaking the gradual slip of her façade. Unbridle rage replacing usual strategic indifference. And though that rage is evidently directed at me, I would be unable to say I’m not intrigued. Intrigued by what she could possibly be mad about? Wondering of what sets her soul alight.

It is depraved, treacherous even, and I cannot contain this. I cannot shape this into a calculated void.

The blank papers sprawled before me on the desk seem to perfectly mirror my deteriorating mental state.

I am not sure if out of sheer anger or desperate yearning for relief, I feel I must write. Attempting to free my mind of every thought it holds.

I need it gone. All of it.

Could all be fixed if she was out of my sight?

I finish one page after another, only stopping when ink begins to leak uncontrolled from the battered end of the pen. I vacantly acknowledge the distant cramping of my fingers, slowly regaining focus.

Beyond some daze, I’m aware of what I've written. Aware of what I have wasted my parchment on.

Etched in ink that has smeared along the pages, onto my fingertips and the desk below me, is her. Jude. I can only stare at her name on the paper below me. Her odd, rounded name to match her odd, rounded ears. Jude.

In spite of my overly warm skin and unruly appearance, a strange serenity clouds my previous spiralling thoughts. Calm slips into the air around me.

But I don't welcome the feeling.

I don't wish to understand it. I don't wish to see it.

Before another thought can begin to plague me, I brush the stained bits of paper in to the first book I reach for – slamming it shut so hard a few stray pencils clatter to the ground, chasing a few stay pages of truth that avoided being encased inside the book. I’d have to remember to burn them later.

Only after a minute do I read the cover of the book beneath my hands. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass.

I almost laugh, as though some sick and twisted work of fate had given me the book itself, deciding to place it in my hands personally. The mortal book I got from my sister. The book my sister got from Judes sister.

I refuse to acknowledge it.

And yet, her name lingers on my fingertips as it lingers on the lands – even after she's gone.

☾ there was definitely more than one jude note, our man was feral for her

Short Usopp-centric post for this week's chapter and one from Wano.

I love how he continues to show such a strong sense of wanting people to choose survival, it's really good progression for him and I love how he's so kind while doing so. He can be blunt, though only because of how greatly he cares.

I can tell he's not content with Atlas deciding to go off on her own like this. Wanted to have a chance to prevent this scenario. I hope his thoughts get time in the next few chapters as well.

No Names

by IsleOfDaydreams A no-strings-attached, is what it was. What it started as. Well... Satoru had hoped that in time maybe more would come of it. Maybe while they were lying in bed, blissed out, hearts pounding in unison—a legato of their strongest and weakest bodily instrument—when eyes were to meet as passionately as their bodies had, maybe he would feel the same warmth for him Gojo always had.

Walnut pie (≧◡≦).

I just read TCF chapter 1036 and the ending is one of the cutest things I've ever seen (◕‿◕)♡

~ Spoiler alert for chapters 1032 to 1036 ~

Kendall and Rasheel's fight was beautiful, pure art (＾་།＾)

The way the attributes of "Victory" and "Indomitability" interacted was a marvel (*￣▽￣)b

Archie going to help was something I considered kind of cute, after all, Rasheel and Bud think they're the only sane ones, even when it's the opposite (￢ ￢), so I think they could be very good friends and this interaction made me proves it (⁀ᗢ⁀).

Changing the subject the complete beating that Rasheel gave to Kendall once she managed to land the first blow was incredible, it was not only physical, but also mental ∑d (° ∀ ° d).

He destroyed her ideology and self-esteem with every blow and phrase he uttered ＼ (٥⁀ ▽ ⁀) ／

And what I liked the most, Rasheel being a Tsun-Tsun (///￣ ￣///), after all he himself said that any attention other than a beating was a waste of time for someone who treated him him and his companions as toys to destroy.

SUPER CUTE! (o^ ^o)

Furthermore, it also turns out that Rasheel is just as reckless and oblivious as Cale is by not recognizing the concern that Raon and Cale feel for him after seeing him so hurt, seeking praise instead of trying to understand it (︶︹︺).

In fact, what I liked most about these chapters was the end of 1036.

Raon, the cute one (ﾉ ´ з `) ノ, decided that Rasheel needed cake to cure him, but he wasn't going to give her his human's apple pie.

He instead gave him Walnut Cake! (❤ω❤)

He is so cute! ( = ⩊ = )

Is it weird that he wants Rasheel to get hurt more so Raon keeps giving him pecan pie (¯ . ¯٥)?

Don't Show the Pain.

Don't Show the Pain. https://ift.tt/rM9DYPa by Emerald_Hobbit “What are – You’re working with Zoom?” Barry demanded, anger and betrayal clear on his face. Harry kept his eyes on Barry. He couldn’t bear to see the hurt on Caitlin's face or the pure anger on Joe’s, especially not the heartbroken confusion on Cisco’s from his admission. He couldn’t keep lying though; he’d nearly gotten Iris killed in his foolish attempt to save Jesse. “No. Not at first,” Harry replied truthfully, putting his hands behind his head to try to communicate that he wasn’t going to attack. He felt a twinge in his shoulder from the movement but kept it off his face with practiced ease.

wano spoilers, ch. 1036-1042

i watched the ryuma one-shot before i got to the zoro vs king fight in wano, so only now i can appreciate the name of it even more! this connection between shimotsuki ryuma and zoro keeps getting better and better

plus the parallels of kaido and king, vs luffy and zoro are so insane! smth smth about saving a person (from navy/government) and they become so loyal to you and will want you to become the king of the pirates with their whole being, where your dream becomes their own in a way. different situations and people, but there's something soooo similar, it's very interesting! (one piece really doesn't have any captain and his right-hand man with just normal relationship aksjdskjd)

(and the luffy flashback!! even this one small panel of luffy from the mihawk fight and zoro promising to be stronger for him! to stand in future as the greatest swordsman beside king of the pirate!

it's so impactful! it's incredible how much it still gives zoro the strength after all that time. i will have to watch the anime of these parts, bc i read there's their first meeting scenes reanimated! can't wait to see that!)

zoro becoming king of hell after his fight with king and because of his enma sword?!! the sword that chooses its wielder and which wouldn't serve anyone weak, which recognizes what strength means to zoro and what his dreams/goals are?? incredible, brilliant, showstopping!

and then zoro seeing death itself?? and telling it not to kill him!

it rlly makes me wonder of these consequences of the drugs he took to become stronger. (which is another stuff i keep thinking about zoro and how he always thinks of himself as weak, not strong enough.. theres a lot to unpack here, but im so tired ;-;)

+ few chapters later, 1042, there was also one panel with luffy vs kaido that caught my attention, with luffy covering his mouth saying 'don't leave me yet, strength!' which is kind of unusual for him to say to himself something like that.

(which in combination of these two fights, where it could be assumed they're happening simultaneously, it's an interesting similarity - where neither zoro or luffy's body is listening to them much. one almost dead, the other losing strength...)
