When They Are Drunk

(as observed by the Red Hair Pirates)

I forever love when we let the Red Hair Pirates interact with the mess that is their captain and his relationship(s), so here have some lenghty thoughts about Shanks, Mihawk and Rosinante interacting with the Red Hair Pirates while drunk in my CoraMiShanks Fix It AU under the cut:

Shanks

The Captain being drunk is neither a rare ocurrance nor a particularly interesting one. They've seen it all within a week of getting recruited, including the hour long rambles about how much he misses Hawkeyes even though they literally duelled each other two days ago. 

The Red Hair Pirates have long since established a system for when they are among people on land or otherwise have guests on the Red Force, where the crew takes turns and one or two people remain sober on Captain watch duty; much to the eternal gratitude of Benn who has wrangled a drunk and poetry waxing Shanks way too often for his poor nerves and approaches it with an practiced aura of exasperation.

The one thing however that adds some fun to the mix is that after the captain finishes his hour rant about how much he loves Mihawk's creepy unblinking eyes, he turns his overflowing sentimentality on the rest of the crew. 

His chosen 'victim' would be sitting there, minding their business when suddenly there's the captain's arm around their shoulders and he slurs a monologue of compliments about their skills and abilities and gratitude for all the things they do for the crew. And during that genuinely nice and flattering monologue he'd sway closer until - boom - it's too late, they're in smooch range now and no one is safe from the Captain's Appreciation Smooches.

It used to be somewhat of a rite of passage, back when Shanks was still actively recruiting. The day a new crew member got thier first Appreciation Smooch from their drunk captain was the day they became fully and irrevocably a part of the crew.

There is a rank list hanging in the galley on the Red Force, ranking the crew members by the number of smooches they have recieved from the captain. Benn is so far in the lead, no one will ever catch up to him, but the rest of the list is surprisingly balanced, as if there actually is a system to the captain's drunk madness that informs him whom of the crew he hasn't complimented and properly expressed his appreciation for in a while.

They considered adding Hawkeyes to the list after the first time he was subjected to the Appreciation Smooch, simply to watch how long it would take for him to climb the ranks and actually overtake Benn (and because his wide-eyed expression of utter surprise and confusion was beyond hilarious). Eventually they decided against it, because while the captain still hasn't figured out the list's meaning, they're fairly certain Hawkeyes would within mere hours of finding his own name on it.

Mihawk

After all these years, Hawkeyes still manages to be an enigma to most of the crew, despite having seen him around plenty. During the times where Mihawk was actively duelling the captain, they could count the passing weeks by the sound of Mihawk's boots on the deck and his grumbles of "Red Hair promised to shut up if I joined for a drink;" every Sunday like clockwork.

But even though they have seen Mihawk drink plenty (always and only expensive red wine that the captain stashes seperately just for Hawkeyes), they have barely ever seen him drunk. Even Benn, who has known Hawkeyes pretty much as long as he's known the captain, only somewhat understands what happens behind his unblinking eyes, and he does have the somewhat regular 'honour' of Mihawk sitting next to him as they sip their wine in silence, because Hawkeyes had quickly determined that Benn is the only person on board with good taste. It's a weird form of bonding, the total silence vaguely uncomfortable to observe, but the captain gets all mushy and happy about Hawkeyes engaging with the crew (even if its technically only Benn), so they suppose it's good enough.

None of them are ready for it when at some point a switch is flipped in Mihawk's brain and he decides that the Red Force is a proper safe place. Hawkeyes allows himself to get drunk, and while he's still eerily silent and prone to staring into the void, he starts emoting. Ever so slightly, little smiles, mostly directed at Shanks. 

Lucky Roux is the first with the questionable luck of experiencing an expression of appreciation (maybe even friendship..?) from Hawkeyes. He was going around handing out little snacks to mitigate the incoming hangovers, when he walked up to Mihawk leaning against the reiling a little away from the rest of the bustle, to hand him a sandwich and encourage him to actually eat it too. Next thing he knew those yellow eyes were staring right into his soul, a hand resting on his shoulder for full two seconds of contact and Mihawk told him a quiet but genuine "thank you" before going back to staring into the void and nibbling on his sandwich.

By the time Lucky Roux was sitting back down and staring into his own drink again, he still hadn't managed to shake off the cold shiver caused by Hawkeyes' intensity, even though it was an unquestionably positive interaction. Lucky Roux gets the Captain's Appreciation Smooch that night, because of course Shanks saw that and is unreasonably happy about it.

Corazón/Rosinante

Honestly, the Red Hair Pirates still haven't quite understood how Corazón entered the whole *gestures* Situation that is the relationship involving the Captain and Hawkeyes. He's shown up one day in Haweyes' company and now he's here in all his clumsy glory, having the best of times chatting with the captain, while Hawkeyes gives them both the same sappy stare. The crew supposes its a net good and respects Rosinante's request to be called by his name rather than title as they incorporate him into the rounds of drinks.

Rosinante only ever drinks a single drink if his kid is with him. (And boy does the kid have opinions; he once prognosed when exactly he expects the captain to die of liver failure down to the month, which was only made more horrifying by Hongo solemnly nodding along in the background. At least Hongo had then continued to explain that he already had been slipping the captain a regimen of meds to prevent just that for years.)

As the kid grows older and is less present however, Rosinante allows himself to indulge. Turns out for all his clumsiness, he mixes the most amazing cocktails.

Speaking of his clumsiness, they still haven't figured out if drunk Rosinante is more or less clumsy than usual. They have seen him fully drunk walk a perfectly straight line, only to stumble over literally nothing and take a perfect swan dive right into the next group of people. At least once he's down, he stays down. Most of the time draped over at least three different laps, slurring out endless apologies, but not making a move to leave. They've quickly understood that Rosinante has been severely lacking positive physical contact in his life and let him stay where he is until Mihawk or the captain pick him up eventually. If they tried to move they supposed Rosinante would too and that would only result in another round of spilled drinks. Also they can't help but admit that Rosinante's presence is somehow calming and comfortable, so no harm done.

the end of the night

No matter what, a night of drinking would inevitable end with the captain, Hawkeyes and Rosinante piled in a heap in the corner. The captain happily snoring away, Hawkeyes somehow managing to lean against the next wall all proper and cool looking in his sleep, arms crossed and hat pulled down over his eyes (no one will ever point out that he drools for fear of death), Rosinante curled over them both like a very oversized cat, his feather coat doubling as a blanket.

Seeing them, the Red Hair Pirates are happy that things turned out like this. They all are maybe a bit too aware of just how dangerous a world they are living in, and just how close they've all come to death before.

Hey, by the way, when has anyone last checked in on the kid? Didn't Rosinante say something about Law recruiting himself a crew of his own? How's that going?

Making self-insert aus where you're just the weird animal character following a guy around.

[thefallenangel2008]

Ok, so I came up with a Gravity Falls x Arcane crossover nobody asked for.😻 And I came up with some character designs~✨ But have them in Gacha Life 2 cause my lazy ass refused to draw them.😔 So here's them in Gacha and some info about them!

Stanley Pines.

Stanley Pines is a well-known businessman in the Undercity, although quite a few know of his frauds (and the ones who do aren't very friendly). He has a shop/bar called the Mystery Shack where he sells weapons and souvenirs from past wars (they're fake, both the items sold and the wars) and he charges the alcohol extra because "do you know how hard it was for me to get it?" He also likes going over to Piltover to sell scams to people and also pretend to be homeless, disabled, etc so that people would feel sorry for him and give him money.

He took in his grand niece and nephew when his nephew along with his wife died when they were only 8. He decided to give up his scams to focus on actually raising them and turned the Mystery Shack to just a regular bar (he still continued scamming people in Piltover though, lol).

Along with his nibblings, Mabel and Dipper, he also took in two other kids before them. Soos. He was there first. Dad left for the milk, and his grandma died from a sickness when he was only 10. Stan met him when he stumbled into the Shack, lost and hungry, and asked if he could get an apple from him with his last penny. As someone who had experienced homelessness before, he wouldn't let a kid THIS young experience the same, at a much younger age too. Although he may be clumsy, he's a surprisingly good handyman. He's the oldest, with him being 22.

The second kid was Wendy. She came from Piltover and her dad was an Enforcer who died on a mission. Her and her brothers were sent to an orphanage. Her brothers were adopted, but she was not so she run away and somehow ended up in Zaun. Soos found her and brought her inside to give her some food. Stan said "fuck it" and she stayed too. For a Piltie, she adapted surprisingly quickly in Zaun.

After their nephew died, him and his brother, Stanford, had a fallout which resulted in screaming, fighting, biting and blood. Stan will never forgive himself for what he did.

Stanley died in a factory "accident" along with Wendy and Soos when they were only 22 and 15 (iykyk).

Fun fact about him: He becomes Warwick! So I guess you could really say this is becoming like the Frankenstan AU!😀

Stanford Pines

Stanford Pines used to be the goodie-two-shoes between him and Stan, a bright student of Piltover who came from Zaun, the light in his family's despair, said that his ideas would "change the world".

Unfortunately the Council had rejected his ideas of building a Transuniversal Poly-Dimensional Metavortex, claiming they were "ridiculous". So, thinking he failed, he joined his brother in his schemes and opened the Mystery Shack together.

They were a trio with Fiddleford, and later sorta became a squad when their nephew started joining them in their little activities as he grew.

Ford used to have a lot of respect for the police but it all vanished when their forces attacked (find the reference here, lol), killing his nephew and orphaning Mabel and Dipper. Ford was furious, devastated by this, he couldn't let the Pilties harm his family and get away with it! He sworn he wouldn't let Piltover kill people for the sake of it. He had a plan, an idea, and Stan, along with Fidds, were very into this. More Zaunites slowly started to join the cause but when Stan saw that Ford's motives and actions were becoming a bit too questionable even for him... He stepped out of this.

Stanford, along with Fiddleford's help, created a prototype for a liquid named shimmer, a super drug that would give them enough strength to go against the Enforcers. That... Was one more reason why Stan left.

They fought over this. Badly. Stanley accidentally brought a knife towards Stanford's eye and blinded him on one side. For that, Ford has a glass eye and a scar on his face.

One time Ford put others to kidnap Stan and force him to join him because he didn't feel like he could do this without his other half. There was fighting, blood, explosions, children, but no stabbings, at least not between the two twins. Ford had stopped himself from strangling Stan, and they just stared at eachother before the explosion happened (perhaps in another universe, had the explosion not happened, maybe they would stop, talk and, perhaps, slowly rebuilt their relationship).

Ford took Mabel in when he found her all alone and crying.

Fun fact about him: Sometimes when he's thinking a bit too much into the past he adjusts his sweater's collar because he can still feel his brother's hands around his neck and feels like he can't breathe!😃

Mason (Dipper) Pines.

Dipper Pines is a twin and has a twin sister. He's a boy who loves riddles and mysteries, and always got into some fun adventures with his sister when they were younger.

When their parents died, he took it upon himself to care for her and keep her away from danger. But alas, danger seemed to follow them sometimes and they had to face it together.

When Stan got kidnapped, him, Mabel, Wendy and Soos, all went to save him. They were winning, but then an explosion happened that resulted in everyone's death and saw being Mabel all giddy about how her glitter bomb worked.

They had a fight, Dipper left to go get some fresh air, and then got taken by an Enforcer to Steelwater. He was 12. He was only 12 when he lost everyone and was put in jail.

When an Enforcer who was around his age and he didn't really get along with offered to get him out if he helped her with her case, well, how could the 17 year old say no to freedom, mysteries, and the chance to see his sister again?

Fun fact about him: He has a pine tree tattoo on his upper arm and a big shooting star on his back followed by smaller symbols, like a fish, a question mark, or even an icepack.

Bonus fun fact: When he was 14 he tried to give himself top surgery with a small dagger he stole in his cell, which resulted in blood loss and because he got an infection, the Steelwater doctors just removed them completely. Despite the pain and the movement he definitely shouldn't be doing as he healed, he managed to make a full recovery. He doesn't care what others say, as long as he doesn't have boobs, he calls that successful.

Star.

Star is Dipper's twin sister. She loves rainbows, fun, her grabbling hook, and everything colorful. Also boys, but no one wants to get with her because she makes them uncomfortable and they're terrified of her.

When they broke into the house of a random dude in Piltover their friend Mermando told them about, she found these tiny blue balls and took them. When they went to save Stan, Mabel was told to stay outside to watch if any more bad guys would be coming and to act as a distraction if they do. She had the idea to put one of those glowing balls inside her glitter bombs to help even more and, well... Yk the rest.

She was taken in by Ford, whom Mabel (and Dipper) faintly remembered from the times him and Stan were on good terms, so she assumed he was good. She changed her name to Star, because she would come on top from the darkness of Zaun, like a single star into an otherwise starless sky (somehow).

She's a literal ray of sunshine in her grunkle's business, not just from her colorful clothing but also from her energetic personality. People either love her for bringing a little bit of Piltover happiness in Zaun or hate her for the exact same thing.

Fun fact about her: She knits sweaters for everyone when she's nervous and/or hears voices.

Bonus fun fact about her: When she's with Ford she misses her brother because he acts a lot like him and vice versa when Ford dies and she teams up with Dipper she's gonna miss Ford because Dipper acts a lot like him.

Pacifica Northwest.

Pacifica is the daughter of Preston Northwest, a councilor of Piltover, and she's quite spoiled because of it, having everything she wants it, WHEN she wants it. She's an Enforcer (in training) and her parents don't agree with that, saying how she needs to prepare to be the next councilor once Preston retires.

She's surprisingly good with firearms and making strategy plans. She's very close with Steve, since hanging out with him was the only escape she had from her parents' overwhelming expectations for her.

Pacifica was about to give up her training, to focus on politics as mother and father wanted, when someone stole Steve's project after an airship was taken over. She saw the patterns between the two different events, and she decided to ask for help from a Steelwater criminal, Mason Pines. She begrudgingly released him having an argument in the cell, because he pointed out how she didn't know anything about the Undercity, and that with the jewelry she was wearing she would be robbed and/or killed in two minutes.

Fun fact about her: She cut her hair short (shorter than what her parents would allow) as a small act of rebellion against them.

William (Bill) Cipher.

Bill Cipher is a cocky, flirty, mischievous, and an incredibly intelligent scientist/mechanic who has always had a vision for something more, outside of this world, but his parents and folks around him always chalked it up to his big imagination. Maybe it was just that, but he wanted to prove if he was right.

Bill has anophalmia which causes him to be missing one eye and is also half blind, which is why he uses a cane and wears glasses. He doesn't see his anophalmia as a flaw, rather, he embraces his weirdness as a big "fuck you" to the people that have made fun of him for it. It's just annoying the blindness that comes with it.

When he was younger he liked to play with fire and one night when he was 13 he accidentally set his house on fire, killing his parents. He was sent to an orphanage. When he turned 18 and he left the orphanage he got a small apartment and did research on this "other world" he was sure existed, he was not crazy!!!

When he heard about an explosion that happened because someone was doing illegal experiments with magic, he just HAD to meet them.

Fun fact about him: He doesn't care if others call him a woman or anything else that isn't "he" or "him". He actually rather likes that. Is it because he likes being called more things or because he likes the confusion he gives people? Nobody knows!

Steve Pyramid.

Steve Pyramid is a very bright (yet a bit odd) scientist, who likes doing tricks at parties and has a weird craving for copper wires, although he never indulges in that urge because he'd die. He's also very interested in phycology and has been trying to muster the art of hypnosis for funsies.

He has been interested in magic ever since a wizard took him back home and killed his kidnapers with magic after he was kidnapped from his parents for money when he was just 7.

The day he got kidnapped he accidentally burnt his face with fire on his eye. And while it wasn't severe (just damaged his eyesight on that eye but not by much) he hid his eye cause he was insecure. Although, hanging out with Bill has made him less self conscious and now he hides his eye mostly for style purposes.

After his experiments to create magic with technology mysteriously exploded and his research got taken away, he tried to get into a bathtub full of water and copper wires, until Bill stopped him. He said he was interested in his work and claimed to be a student in the Council and could get him in (plot twist: he wasn't).

But after making the hexcore work, they both became students of the scientist and councilor Axel' Atel. Bill became Steve's assistant. Bill was definitely NOT affected by that.

Fun fact about him: When he was a kid he ate a millipede once!

Sooooo, yeahhhhh. •-• Idk why I made this, on one moment I was going "haha, what a fun idea ig" and the next I made them in Gacha. At first I wanted to switch Mabel and Dipper because of Dipper's close relationship with Ford, but realistically, I think Mabel's personality is closest to Jinx, and if they were in Arcane Mabel would be a sparkling Powder with a grabbling hook. Also I'm aware that Jayce and Viktor's roles fit Ford and Fidds better, but I didn't feel like it could work out. T^T Plus, Bill was pretty much seen as disabled in TBOB so there's that! And did I add Pyramid Steve in there? Yes. Yes I did.

Also evil Ford.😍😍😍 Tbh I don't think his personality would change a lot, he would just have darker morals and do more questionable things. Also I live for Ford and Mabel bonding. Also Stan's design is inspired by a bunch of Sea Grunkles fanarts where they redesigned Stan (OLD MAN MULLET ‼️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️)

Also poor Dipper in Steelwater since 12.😭😭😭

I don't even know if I'm gonna make more of this AU, but in case I do, I'm gonna name it Arcane Falls AU. If I don't, REMEMBER MEEEEEEE!!!!!!

[acediaedeus]

he was a punk, she did ballet typa story with grimmichi, but both of them are punk, and both of them do ballet.

this one is an AU where they're just humans, but Ichigo is still a weirdo who sees ghosts, cause why the fuck not. also, long-haired Grimmjow.

in Ichigo's case, it's that he did ballet. why? let's imagine Masaki sending Yuzu to ballet classes when she's four because the girl is fascinated by the beautiful women dancing in white tutus on TV in one of her mum's shows. Masaki is afraid her small, gentle, and shy daughter will have a hard time making friends with all the new kids, so she tries to convince Karin to go with her sister, at least for the first few classes, but the girl is unwavering in her refusal. she would hate to pressure her children into anything, so accepts, and as a last resort goes to her older son. young and filled with the desire to protect his family and please his mother, Ichigo says he'll go with Yuzu.

and so on top of his karate, Ichigo also does ballet for a while, so his baby sister will have an easier time adjusting. he actually likes it too, but then mum dies, and the beautiful women dancing on TV she used to watch no longer bring fascination, only tears. so they no longer do ballet and that is that.

everything else after that is much the same: Ichigo gets bullied, puts the karate classes to use and becomes a delinquent. all is well until one day Yuzu comes to him, timid and unsure, putting Ichigo on high alert, fearing someone has hurt his sister (a big mistake they'll regret and learn not to repeat), but all she says is that she wants to try dancing again. he, of course, encourages her to try.

like the good older brother Ichigo is, he comes along for her first class as moral support. Yuzu is amazing, as expected, and he definitely feels some water in his eyes watching her dance, which no one needs to know that. BUT, there's this guy, who seems to be his age, training on the opposite side of the room. beautiful and mesmerizing, and so ethereal Ichigo can hardly look away. the way he moves is enchanting, his long blue hair swaying and spiralling into a snake with each spin. he leaves with a happy Yuzu for their little sibling celebration with Karin, filled to the brim with confusion.

time goes on, but he simply can't get the guy out of his head, and one evening he comes to walk Yuzu home (he is not about to let his baby sister walk alone in the darkness of winter). he's a little early, so the class is yet to finish, but oh wait, there's the guy standing outside. one thing leads to another aaaand... they're fighting. positively rolling on the ground like children. and like a child Grimmjow (cause that's his name apparently, which Ichigo doesn't even remember when he was told that) bites his hand, so like a child Ichigo tugs on his blue hair. it's soft and nice, and he's getting distracted. but then Yuzu is yelling at him, calling him a foolish boy (and he won't even argue, because he really is a fool).

so yes, turns out they both were punks and both did ballet.

Introducing: The Surfer Dudes, Pete and Gerry!

They're fun, they're laid back, and they refuse to spend their final years in a seniors centre!

[corellianhounds]

One of my artistic tells in any story I write or create otherwise is going to be that if there’s a man with long hair and a goatee he is automatically going to be the coolest person and the room. Also likely the hottest.
