I’ve mentioned it before but I’m a fucking sucker for unhealthy dependent relationships. There’s just something about them that is so. Chef’s kiss 👌
Anyway I’m still thinking about how Law was so attached to Cora and was so traumatized by his death that he literally devoted thirteen YEARS of his life to revenge killing Doflamingo. Even though all Cora ever wanted was for Law to just be free and live his life happily. And Law spending all his time in a hateful revenge spiral is literally the exact OPPOSITE of what Cora wanted for him. BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE. If the thirteen years of endless devotion to avenging his savior wasn’t enough Law 1. Named his pirate crew the Heart Pirates in honor of Cora, 2. Covered himself in permanent heart-themed tattoos in honor of Cora, and 3. Fashioned his Jolly Roger to be a mockery of Doflamingo’s and ALSO to honor Cora. Homie is a walking memorial for a man he only really knew for six months and again crafted the most intricate plan known to mankind to murder Cora’s killer. Because losing Cora fucked him up THAT much. Because even though Cora set him free, the moment Doflamingo shot him Law was chained to the memory of a man who no longer existed. Law literally fashioned his entire life down to his own appearance after Cora and it makes me so insane. I cannot even imagine what went through his head after Dressrosa I mean how do you move on after a thirteen year grudge is put to rest. What is he supposed to do now. Avenging Cora was literally his entire existence, his entire reason for living for half of his life. He needs therapy probably. If Cora somehow ever did come back to life Law would lose his fucking mind. The dependency is SO unhealthy and I am SO here for it

still consumed by the cam and pal and paul emotions. thinking about how this wasn’t the ending that camilla and palamedes would have chosen for themselves at the start of things, but it was the kindest ending for them in those circumstances and it was an ending that they both chose willingly and wholeheartedly. thinking about codependency through multiple lenses and the degrees to which they did not, physically or emotionally, know how to survive without the other. thinking about how they never moved more than an arm’s length apart for the longest time after palamedes got a body back. thinking about camilla crying before the grand lysis just because she was so relieved. they loved each other so much that they fused their souls forever and now they’re never going to be apart again but they’re also never going to be together again. paul is a rebirth but also a death, a triumph that still can’t be separated from deep loss and grief

Istg if they parallel Jaya in a way that Jay goes off somewhere on his own and he keeps thinking that there’s something to recall until he hears a single name which drives him to find whoever that name belongs to and he goes to this big event for maybe some luck, but unlike for Sea Nya when he sees who that name belongs to and doesn’t actually remember anything else and he’s just left to try and figure it all by himself then I might just die. Just a little bit.

This is depressing but I have a HC that Fuuta’s mother had died shortly after she and his father divorced, and his dad never told him nor his sister about it.
HEY. HEYYYYY. 😭 I GUESS I’LL JUST CRY THEN
From a thematic standpoint this makes me crazy because one of Fuuta’s big themes is invasion of privacy (stalking/doxxing someone and now being afraid of prying eyes) – so such a major gap in information is extra painful. It would be so easy for him to look her up and find out what happened! He could have the whole story in a few minutes, with a few clicks! But he doesn’t, and his father knew he wouldn’t. Whatever happened between her and the Kajiyama family was bad enough that Fuuta refuses to look into her at all. It’s clear he’s emotionally avoidant, and it’d make sense that he avoids any thoughts of her after she’s gone. This makes his interrogation question even more heartbreaking, since he’s finally facing his emotions head-on, no matter how painful they may be. He’s finally growing and changing and ready to admit to his failures/needs, and it’s waaaay too late.
On the other hand, you mentioned a version where she dies while he's in Milgram, neither of them aware of what's happening to the other. I am so emotional about the prisoners’ families on the outside ;---;
Even if they aren’t great support systems, it breaks my heart thinking of them worrying themselves sick over their loved one’s sudden disappearance. I don’t think Yuno’s family knew about her nighttime activities, but either way their young daughter is gone and there’s so many horrible possibilities it could have been. If the Kusunoki parents heard that Muu’s friend was stabbed and their teen daughter was missing, what awful conclusions must they come to about her getting killed/kidnapped? Shidou’s relatives and coworkers hear about the accident, and then never hear back from him. They know what kind of mindset he was in, and know what that means. Similarly, when Mahiru’s family hears her boyfriend’s body was recovered after a suicide, and no one has heard from their daughter, there’s really one likely outcome. Mikoto promises to come home, but he never shows. His sister cries reading reports of bloody murders at the train station where he makes his daily commute. Kotoko’s family (and maybe Lucky herself) know that she got involved with a powerful family accused of kidnapping. So when she’s gone without a trace, they must be wracked with grief that they finally got their revenge.
All that to say, Fuuta’s family is equally heartbroken when their son, just having turned twenty a few days ago, doesn’t make it home to celebrate. His mother gets her first call from the family in years, and instead of good news, they tell her that her little boy is gone. I don’t know how you pictured her dying, but if she was in a bad state now, this could definitely be the thing that pushes her over the edge. Now, when Fuuta returns to his life, he’ll discover another death that happened “because” of him. Even if his father and sister don’t blame him for disappearing, I can’t imagine him shrugging off that guilt so easily…
In conclusion. OUCH.

toast… toast… like, a ceremony because of marriage and a wedding is one thing. consider a ceremony for cursing someone. by a dragon sovereign. didn’t you mention how important to neuvillette is if he decides to make someone his mate? what if he could curse eclair with that, curse her by making her his mate, curse her with his love for her because he cannot imagine a solitude of centuries without her nearby… your post was the first thing i read after taking a nap, i cannot formulate my thoughts but something definitely sparked in my brain…
Manu if only you knew how heavily I think on this every single day...
If only you knew how much Neuvillette thinks on it. How it eats at him every day. How he's tried over and over again to push it from his mind and remind himself how he knows and has always known that human lives are fleeting things to bloom and wither in merely a blink of his own life. But now he's seen it for himself; he knows he can interrupt that natural order of humanity and place a single exception on a human. His human.
Oh, but the conflict that rises in his chest. He wants Eclair by his side now and always, but...to force her to bear the burden of his love - to curse her with such an inescapable fate...
But what a beautiful ceremony it would be; a Sovereign's vow sealed with a love so abundant, so unexpectedly human...one could almost forget it's a curse.
