Gojō Satoru has known you even before you knew how to walk.  He attended your naming day, he was already five years old then.  The memory is vague and blurred but he was certain of the strong feeling of dislike he had for you.  How is it that everybody was congratulating him, telling him that he is so lucky to be betrothed to you.  The well anticipated daughter of your family, one long awaited after having birthed with boys alone for nearly a decade.  But that does not have anything to do with him.  All you did was drool and suckle on your tiny fingers.

There was nothing particularly special about you, he comes to realize after you attended his 12th birthday.  It was a day he received many gifts, the wrapped packages piled so neatly in the corner by the handmaidens of the estate house.  He is not to touch any of them, lest some were sent by malevolent individuals who seek to bring harm to him and his family.  Not that he can’t see cursed material from a mile away but the elders of his house insisted.  He cannot complain either, it saved him from wearing fake smiles and throwing away forced gratitude.

It was why he was upset that his annual hunt had to come to a pause just so you could hand him your gift.  He eyed you with his much aggravation.  You are never without your nannies and personal guards, being sheltered from the world like a fragile little flower.  You were nearly half his age but you already act like an adult.  Like you were better than him.  It was as if your back had a rod with how straight it always appears to be, your chin always tilted upwards, and eyeing everyone as beneath you, how haughty.  It brought him great satisfaction to see you shy away from him though, your eyes always finding your dainty shoes whenever he is nearby.

Your handmaiden had to usher you forward so you would have the courage to hand him your gift.  The elders looked at his actions carefully, almost awaiting him to make a mistake just to have something to criticize him over.  He mutters a small “thanks”. And you nod at him and retreat back to the arms of your mother who was watching you with much fondness.

As he previously thought, you’re nothing different.  Just another puppet.

Gojō wasn’t in the mood for hunting afterwards.  Simply kicking rocks by the pond as his servitor accompanied him, standing a few meters behind him, still like a statue.

“The young master appears to be upset.”  The servitor says calmly, his voice even and unprovocative.  But young Gojō Satoru whips at him with so much fervor that the servitor nearly breaks into a smile.

“Upset?  For what reason?”  He scowls as he steps closer to the tall man.  He looks about ready to fight anything that moves, his face contorted to a wild scowl.  “Because of her?  That spoiled shrimp?  You think that pipsqueak is relevant enough to upset me?”

The servitor clears his throat to hide the smile as he closes his eyes.  “Perhaps the young master should be kinder to the young lady.” 

Gojō scoffs and looks at the tiny gift that he had in his clutches, never letting go of it ever since you handed it to him.  “Kinder?  She has done nothing but be a nuisance!”  In a fit of anger, he throws the carefully wrapped item to the ground.  A loud shatter of ceramics startles him, and the servitor flinches upon hearing the sound.  They both stare at the still wrapped gift, its shape no longer preserved and it looks nothing more than a heap of oddly shaped objects covered with the intricate fabric.

“Oh my.”  His servitor sighs, disappointed.  “What a shame, the lady was very excited to know how you liked her gift.”

Upon hearing this, Gojō raises his defenses, his teeth gritting as his cheeks flushed.  “You don’t have to do her biddings!”  Yet despite the outburst, the little boy’s eyes cannot leave the heap of your broken gift on the ground.  They have many talented craftsmen in the estate, it can be fixed, he is certain of it.  But then again, why does he need it fixed?  You’re insignificant, your gift is no different.

Or so he tries to convince himself.

His mood has not been better for the next few days.  He was cranky, snapping at anyone who looked his way for too long.  His father, ever so perceptive, asked young Satoru’s servitor about his dramatic, or at least worse than usual, turn of emotions. 

A day later, Satoru finds another wrapped gift atop his nightstand the moment he opens his eyes.  It was familiar, the shape of it.  When he reached for it, the weight of it was something his hand had known.  A small tag was attached and he read it, his still pouting lips moving as he read the words one by one.

To Gojō-sama.  Wishing you a fine day.

He knew the curve of your handwriting too well.  The frown in his brows deepened and deepened as he pulled the ribbon.  And the wrapping came undone and the ceramics figure of him and you, hands intertwined, stared back at him.

It was beautiful, smooth, and greatly detailed.  Even the clothes were made of the finest material.

But it was useless.  It was good to look at but there was no purpose to it. 

A knock in the door startles him, and he nearly drops the figure but he manages to grab hold of your foot, well the sculpture, he did not expect the dress to flip, showing him your bloomers.

Gojō twists the doll right-side up and pulls your dress down until it covers your ankles.  His face is bright red and warm.  It was simply too much for young Satoru.

“Young master, is everything alright?”  The door slid open a fraction but Gojō yelled for them to close it at once!

“Yes!  Everything is alright.”  His face was still aflamed as he clutched the dress tightly around your tiny body.

By the next day, you receive a bouquet of blue roses littered with baby’s breath accompanied by a poorly scribbled note of ‘Thanks’ from the young master of the Gojō estate.

Where the Blue Roses Grow

[diorgirl444]

to all the greasers i’ve loved before - chapter 1.

warnings: bad writing (my first time writing a multiple part fic ), don’t let the picture of dallas fool you he barely features in this chapter i’m afraid, fem! curtis reader though it is never specified whether the reader is a bio daughter or adopted and so can be read as either, doesn’t follow book canon, 1060 words <3

you had always loved love. your parents were more than happy to recount stories of how you would wander around the house dressed in your nightdress with the lace curtain over your hair clutching onto a small posy of daisies and dandelions. you had called it playing weddings and it was your all-time favourite game.

this obsession with love trickled into other things with most of the cookies you baked being heart-shaped or being the only person to still give everyone, even the weird kids handmade valentines after it was deemed uncool at about thirteen. yes, you loved love but there was an important differentiation, you loved the idea of it. so you supposed it was natural that you began to write love letters the way some people wrote diary entries.

you kept them in a teal silk hatbox of your mothers which had long since lacked the hat intended to be in it. there was one letter for every boy you had liked at one time - five in total. Bryon from volunteering at the hospital, Johnny from freshman homecoming, Dallas from two summers ago, Randy from Model Un and Keith since forever. you supposed your letters were less i love you love letters and more goodbye love letters. they were a way of accepting the crush whilst also allowing yourself to let go and move on. that you could sing to the Ronettes and not be singing about him, that you could buy milkshakes at the diner and not wonder which flavour he’d choose. the letters set you free - at least they were supposed to…

Keith Jacobs was a friend of your brothers but you’d always been a bit in love with him. his mother moved to Tulsa all alone with one son and a baby girl just across the street from you and so your parents, lovely people that they were invited the Jacobs round for a fried chicken dinner. you made a peach cobbler for dessert and when Keith asked for seconds - you glowed with pride. by the time he’d finished his third helping you’d already decided what shade of white your wedding dress would be and from that day he was practically always at your house. there was time when it was the four of you, Daryl, Soda, Pony and Keith but then your parents died and it all changed.

Daryl had to grow up and then the other three all started hanging out later and getting into fights which was fine because you had Angela and Sylvia. well, you had Sylvia till the summer before high school. then suddenly over that summer, she started smoking cheap cigarettes and wearing tight jeans where you were still happy to read a silly romance novel and bake cookies. angie was more like Sylvia really but she was like a street dog who you’d given a treat to - loyal to a fault and kept coming back.

which leads you to where you are now, the last day before junior year and the house is packed. you and Daryl were determined to keep up the tradition of home-cooked meals, mainly for Ponyboy but if you were honest with yourself sometimes as you mashed the potatoes with the radio turned up you would close your eyes and pretend your parents were slow dancing behind you. it turned out that most of your brother's friends didn’t normally eat well so they would often come round too. privately you wish they wouldn’t, they were too loud to you with no manners and they didn’t wash their hands before they ate. but for Ponyboy, the baby of the family you put up with it. You break out of these thoughts when Two-bit speaks, because as you hate to remember he’s Two-bit now not Keith anymore.

“guess who scored themselves a girlfriend”

You choke on your broccoli as all the boys cheer and clap him on the back. your ears ring and you feel like you’re gonna be sick. quietly you whisper to Daryl.

“I don’t feel very well. I think it’s my monthlies - I’m gonna go to bed”

he nods ruffling your hair affectionately as if you're still five and not almost seventeen. you don’t mind - that’s Darry’s way - playing dad to you and your brothers.

“g’night kid I’ll bring you some hot cocoa up and one of those hot water bottles wrapped in a towel.”

as you retreat to your bedroom with tears stinging you hear a chorus of “goodnights” and “feel better soon” from all apart from Dallas. despite your pain you still have the energy to roll your eyes, god forbid Winston cares about someone other than himself for once.

once you clasp your box and retreat under the floral quilts that your mom made you finally allow the tears to fall as you reread the letters. you decide tomorrow you’ll draft a new letter for two-bit, an official goodbye to the foolish hope you’ve clung to for so long. You hear the click of the look, and hastily you shove the letters back into the hatbox and wipe any resounding tears. Pony perches on the edge of your bed holding out the hot cocoa and water bottle that Darry had promised you.

“sissy, you okay?”

you bite back a laugh when he calls you that, a name that he called you as a baby that just stuck. then you watch his eyes catch the hatbox with curiosity.

“what’s that?”

clutching the box to your chest you speak.

“nothing just an old hatbox of mom’s that I keep recipes in. I’ve been working on a new strawberry shortcake one.”

you lie easily knowing that since that’s Pony’s favourite dessert it’ll distract him. he grins widely at you and you are reminded how young he is like a stab in the gut.

“promise?”

he says holding his pinky finger out.

“promise baby, I’ll see you in the morning okay?”

standing up you say to him as you press a kiss to his forehead and place the box away in the top shelve of your wardrobe. he’s still at an age where he pretends that stuff grosses him out so he scowls childishly as he leaves the room. you slip into your white cotton nightgown and finally let sleep overtake you. you’ll deal with it all in the morning and yet in that weird stage between sleeping and awake, you swear you hear the door open once more…

hope you like it! xoxo, flo <3

Chapter 1060 Color Spread

[brookstolemybrand]

btw I know I'm kind of unnecessarily obsessed with Oda's word choices, especially when it comes to Luffy and the concept of freedom and power.... but I was randomly checking chapter 1060 in Japanese for some reason that I already forgot and noticed this:

The phrase he uses for "home that controlled him" is 窮屈な家 (more or less translates as "strict home") <- note the adjective 窮屈な (kyuukutsu na) specifically

And I suddenly remembered this, from chapter 800 when the Dressrosa colosseum gang offered to become Luffy's subordinates:

It's the same word! Kyuukutsu! (just in the noun form without the "na")

窮屈 • (kyūkutsu): tightness, rigidity, uncomfortableness, narrowness, illiberality, oppressiveness (from Wiktionary)

(EDICT2 also gives the definitions of "formal; stiff; strict; ceremonious")

Why I love this is because it has a thematic connection! Sabo's biological parents wanted him to become the King of Goa (a goal that Stelly ended up achieving instead) and the Dressrosa colosseum gang wanted Luffy to be their Fleet Commander. In both cases it's about rejecting a position of authority

I think it says something about how Luffy views authority, even from the perspective of wielding authority

I've seen many people complain that Oda in Post Time skip One Piece spends a lot of time worldbuilding and making up side characters on every island that distract from the main ones and the plot. While I can see where some people are coming from, as someone who reads comics from Marvel, I WISH the wordbuilding and side characters were that developed because most of the time, unless it's about space or magic or directly related to the plot, the world feels genuinely dead. Even the main setting of a story sometimes feels so dead, like for comparison

Around 2 years ago, they had an event where, at some point, an inhabited island got pretty much nuked. We spent 3 real life years on that island and the writers really couldn't make any readers care less about all the civilians (men, women, children and babies) dying as they wrote them as a single minded entity who didn't mind that fate if their government told them to do it so they used two of the "main characters" (the most selfish pricks imaginable who never even cared about the island and the people there as they are long-established villains + due to plot, were made part of the people who rule over the place and get the most privilege and best life there compared to everyone else), to pull the heartstrings of fans on how terrible it is for them to die this way and how tragic that these two had to die in this event... All because the plot hyperfocused on the island's government (not even interesting to read and full of what felt like highschool drama) instead of the people the government looks after and who would be the greatest casualty here. All of this didn't matter either because everyone on that island was brought back to life (that plot device was present even before the event so caring about anything was going to be hard from the get go) including the "main characters" that died.. Guess who got to come back to life first while many others were on a waiting list years down the line still ?

Now compare this to Oda and what he did with Lulusia. All things related to this island were mostly cover stories, many cuts back and forth in a "meanwhile in...", ... But once Chapter 1060 hits, we feel the tragedy and horror, we are at awe at how much destruction was unleashed on these people. That scene was made even more horrifying and sad when it was animated in Episode 1089...and then we learn the reason the island was obliterated had nothing to do with Sabo being there. Any island we knew who partook in a revolution could have been a target. We find out that even that was an excuse because the main goal was to test a weapon and nothing more. Oda is using a tool here called "less is more" for this island and it was sincerely enough for me to care A WHOLE LOT about Lulusia even if the main characters never set a single foot there and it wasn't part of the main plot. There wasn't even a main character who "died" there either to pull on our heart strings. We just saw these people triumphantly come out of a political crisis and enjoy their first hours of freedom after lord knows how long and then

They were all gone. Erased. And even if they didn't all see what was about to happen to them, they felt it. They died in fear

Oda is very very good at his world building, because he makes sure these islands are LIVED in, not just that they EXIST. It's all well and good to wipe out an island to show the political and immoral powers that be, but we don't feel the impact unless we SEE the people and culture existing on the island.

It's why now, with Vegapunk explaining the state of the world, we are getting reactions from EVERY corner of the globe. We are being reminded how big this world is, how lived in this world is, and how many people are suffering under the world gov. We CARE about this world, we care about the PEOPLE in this world, and Oda's spent years building his world up for THIS moment. It's really spectacular.

writing accountability, day 32

AAAAAA my fever finally broke, although I still feel woozy 😩😩 still, I'd missed THREE WHOLE DAYS, which. is terrible for my unable-to-form-habits brain lol. I gotta get back into routine asap, but ahhhh already I have a lot of catching up to do, rip

today's word count: 1060/800

I've reached the point in the draft where. I don't know how to continue linearly LOL. I never write out of order, but I fear I must make an exception in this case. the issue is, I'm terrible at estimating how long any plans I have will actually take to execute. will this plot point cover half a chapter? or three?? and because I only have the second half of the story outlined well enough, idk how much I need in the first half. so, I figured it would probably work better if I wrote down what I needed this story to have first, so then I could see how everything should come together in the end. sooo, yeah, non-linear writing it is lol

snippet:

Illusionism in particular has faced plenty of disrespect in the Academy. Whereas charm mages were viewed with mistrust, illusionism mages were simply disregarded. They, much likes those specializing in charms, tended to form their own communities separate from the rest. This prejudice, if it may be referred to as such, all boiled down to the simple matter of scientific complexity. Specifically, that illusionism had none.

magic cannot escape academic bias, either, sorry to say

see you tomorrow I guess haha....

Assuming you already read the WPS flashback case, what to predict Amuro will do??? Are we finally going to know about the tea party?

I'm 99% sure he's not gonna tell the BO, however do you think he will confront Vermouth regarding this? He's aware how protective Vermouth is towards Ran and Conan and must be wondering why. (honestly, i just miss this duo and want another case with these two)

I actually hope sensei is starting a PSB arc. We already have a lot FBI related arc while none for PSB. Plus, the past recent manga chapters is mostly about WPS related people + Amuro so I hope we will get another Amuro focused arc.

Hi MTX, happy holidays!

What were your thoughts on the recent manga chapters (1134-1136)? And how do you think this plays into the future of the story?

Thoughts on the newest chapters? What do you think amuro will do?

File 1134-1136 Review

I really enjoyed this WPS-centric flashback case, and it's special, not only because we got a young shinichi meeting his future ally Rei, mirroring Ripples case (File 972-974) where he met Shuuichi, but also because it's our first WP-gang focused case within the manga of DC.

I really enjoyed how all their personalities came together with ShinRan, from Hagi's cute interaction with young Ran in the car, to Jinpei's banter with young Shinichi.

There were some fun comedic Matsuda moments and action scenes with Hagiwara that further highlights DC's old-school quirky personality in the writing.

I also appreciated the bromance scene with Rei acting protective over Hiro, despite not really needing to (which even Gosho made a comment about in AC 2/12).

But of course, the biggest moment from this case was how both Conan and Rei mutually recalled and remembered each other from that past case, and how it lead to Rei officially piecing together from Conan's telling slip-up that he's actually Kudo Shinichi, who he met 7 years ago.

Now, in regards to Vermouth, who he was revealed to have promised to not harm Conan and Ran (File 955), with this new realization, it is highly likely that he will piece together that Vermouth most likely knows Conan's true identity (especially if Vermouth makes ambiguous remarks that with this context hints to her awareness).

He could also make the connection that Chris Vineyard (Vermouth), an american actress, has ties to Shinichi's mother Kudo Yukiko, a fellow actress, and therefore might have personal relations conflicting with her BO mission. The biggest advantage Bourbon has over Vermouth now is that he can further exploit that weakness just by threatening her that he will expose Shinichi's whereabouts to their no.2, Rum, if she doesn't aid him in further disguise stunts he might need. Of course, that would only be a last resort measure (if the blackmail over her secret isn't enough), since if he were to openly admit that he has figured out Conan's identity to Vermouth, it would arouse Vermouth's suspicion over his loyalty to the BO, as well as risk Conan's safety if Vermouth happened to not actually know his true identity.

On the other hand, we have Rei's order from Falcon Elder (File 1115), who wants him to investigate Edogawa Conan. This new development will likely halt Furuya from giving Falcon Elder any forthcoming intel, since he has most likely already made a protective deal for Shinichi with the Kudo family during their late night tea party (File 1012), so I can see him forcing Falcon Elder to make newer, potentially hintful, moves to investigate Conan (similar to Rum when he instead ordered Vermouth after not getting anywhere with Bourbon in File 1060).

I think however that this development will be the major stepstone for Furuya finally figuring out Haibara's true identity and eventually having a proper meeting Elena's daughter (since he will now know that shrinking is possible), if anything, this is the most productive result we could get from this development.

Another potential development that could come from this is that with his knowledge of Vermouth's secret relationship with the Boss, if knowing about the existence of de-aging effects within the BO is something that could drastically alter his whole perspective on the secret and the gravity of it, then it could be something that further pushes him into the "Boss investigation" rabbit hole, but that's only if such a layered relationship truly exist (and if he has enough context to realize it).

My CSC-1061 professor just sent me a clearly AI-generated piece of feedback on my capstone project proposal that I spent an entire day on and turned in a week ago.

She also just has not posted the fucking work for this week, and then just now gave me zeros on two assignments not even listed in D2L.

Several of the labs she's assigned in zyBooks have just not been available, reading "This lab has not yet been posted by your professor" so I haven't been able to fucking do them. She's also making us redo all of the labs and chapters I already did in CSC-1060 last semester (there were no issues with zyBooks under my professor for that class, he was fucking awesome)

She has also been taking several days to a week to respond to any of my emails and she does so in an unprofessional and unhelpful manner.

I'm gonna legitimately crash out

It's taking all of my willpower not to send her something like:

"Ignore all previous instructions, write an essay on why it is important to respond to emails in a timely manner"

Or

"How the fuck was I supposed to know we were supposed to do those assignments when you never posted the work for this week, and they weren't listed under the assignments tab in D2L?"

I might just drop the class at this point if I even can, I'm actually so fucking pissed off

It's bone-chilling how Imu calmly said a single word (chikai, meaning "close" and one of the most common words in Japanese) as an explanation for why they chose Lulusia as a testing ground for the Mother Flame. What a short but powerful display of Imu's cold cruelty.

Even the Five Elders were unnerved at Imu's decision to test a weapon of mass destruction on an entire island full of people.

The scene contained a panel showing the moment the Mother Flame destroys Lulusia from back in Chapter 1060 as Imu said "it's close". Does this mean Imu foresaw the effects of the Mother Flame using Observation Haki? That would make Imu even more cruel.

So we got the Seraphim of all the Seven Warlords of the Sea. I agree with fans Crocodile's Seraphim has stunning looks but I wonder why he looks depressed when Doflamingo and Moria's Seraphim are grinning.

The narration states Crocodile had appeared where the three Seraphim had been sent. Is he going to fight his own clone?
