Saw your Mishanks bodyswap art! Very cute and fun! (Mihawk with a genuine smile on his face so so fun)

I imagine Shanks whould have trouble fighting in Mihawk's body at first since it's been years since he's had two arms

yes absolutely, i imagine that too! conversely, i think mihawk would have a little bit of trouble adjusting his balance and reach with a body missing one arm, as well. it's interesting to think about how they both would be forced to change their fighting style, and whether or not they would exchange swords.

mihawk's been seen using yoru with just one hand so he could probably pull it off with shanks's body. also interesting to think about shanks tripping up on having two arms until he naturally slips into his old fighting style again--or would he? because there's also the question of muscle memory, right? would mihawk's body automatically do things that shanks isn't predisposed to doing, and vice versa?

the other thing i find intriguing about body swapping in one piece is the question of whether or not your haki powers would switch as well. they say haki is spiritual presence, so presumably your haki switches if your spirits switch, but if it's the kind of spirit that's tethered to the presence of the body? then consider mihawk having the strongest conqueror's haki out on the blues, or shanks being able to use observation haki at mihawk's level, practically being able to predict the future--or mihawk, able to counter with shanks's haki-kill technique. food for thought!

wip wednesday

i haven’t reeeeally started writing anything other than planning this out broadly because it’s very plot heavy but got a little lost thinkin about the intimacy of shaving the other day so this is from x files au in some shitty shared motel room while they’re cryptid hunting or chasing aliens idk we’ll figure it out

When he emerges, hair towelled dry and in clean clothes, Eddie frowns at him. “What?” he asks. “Promise I didn’t finish all the hot water.” “No, you just look—” Eddie gestures at Buck’s face, “—scruffier than usual.” “Oh,” Buck says, running a hand over his day-four stubble. “I forgot my razor.” “Oh,” Eddie’s face clears, “just use mine.” Buck swallows. “Um. Okay. Thanks.” Eddie nods at him and goes back to squinting at his phone, so Buck about-faces and re-enters the bathroom. It’s not a big deal, he tells himself as he foams up his face. It’s like—like sharing a hairbrush. Intimate, sure, not something you’d tend to do with people you don’t know well, but it’s not a big deal.  He wets the razor and brings it to his throat, heart hammering there so violently it feels like his Adam’s apple is trying to get out. If his hand doesn’t stop trembling he’s going to nick himself, and God, he is being absolutely fucking ridiculous. Deep breath. The razor glides over the thin skin of his throat, muscle memory even as he stares at himself in the mirror. Doesn’t think about Eddie doing this every morning, using this very razor. Blade edge kissing his jaw the same way it kisses Eddie’s. Doesn’t think about Eddie doing this for him, hand holding his chin as he shaves Buck carefully, grip firm when he turns Buck’s face this way and that. Doesn’t think about Eddie kissing where the blade kissed him first.  Doesn’t think about any of that when he rinses the razor clean and slots it back into the travel mug, where Buck’s toothbrush rests against Eddie’s with such easy familiarity it’s about to spark a whole new crisis.

i'm the one writing this slow burn and i'm like

"there are so many scenes where pietro and rosie could've fucked. so many."

Thinking about intimate haircutting... my favorite version: shaving.

Thinking about Dean shaving John's face for him while he's injured. Eyes so intent on what his hands are doing. Shaking ever so slightly as he tries not to think about the trust Dad is putting in him or how close their faces are. Trying not to feel the weight of Dad's gaze on him. Sticking his tongue out unconsciously; biting his lip when Dad's tongue peeks out and just misses the line of shaving cream Dean carefully applied around his mouth. Not thinking about how their breathing becomes hot and fast in the close space; the way goosebumps prickle all over his skin.

Ignoring Sam's dark, dour stare when Dean leaves the bathroom behind Dad several minutes later.

"If I could grow a little mustache" has the same energy as my schoolmates asking me how I got my hair to be this long (just. Don't cut it)

in her defense a mustache Is harder for a cis woman to grow if she doesn't have the predisposition to it than the rest, if you can't naturally grow the girlstache you can't grow it that's just how it is, whereas even the palest blondest most sickly woman will naturally grow like. pit hair unless she's got hormonal problems. but the juxtaposition of "If I could grow a little mustache, if I could grow a fucking happy trail and unbutton my pants, I would." and The Smoothest Skin On A Woman Alive is. chuckle-worthy a lil to me.

I'm starting to grow facial hair a little tiny bit do you think my f/os would find it cute,,, 🥺

[casuellenjoyer]

i need to see burakhovsky helping each other with shaving. daniil, who is so precise in his personal grooming even when he’s far in the steppe town, letting ‘the ripper’ using a knife on his face and neck for his daily routine as a form of trust and intimacy. while artemy studies the lines of daniil’s face, all the wrinkles and scars from the agonizing twelve days they went through together, engraving each detail into his memory. or vice versa, daniil would ‘lecture’ artemy about grooming and that he would look dashing in the capital’s style, but in the end he alluded that that wouldn’t be the man that caught the bachelor’s eyes (that artemy is fine the way he is, in all of his earthly and warmth). and artemy would savor every moment, enjoying the touch of daniil’s bare hands that are usually covered in those black gloves, watching the lines in his hands naturally link back to artemy’s as he works.

I Need to See them in this kind of intimacy.

Keith after galra puberty in his 20s would get like some downy purple fur growing on his back that he's all embarrassed to ask lance help him shave. You already know lance would jump at the chance to make it a whole self care thing with masks and stuff

I know I’m hardly the first to notice this but huh, it seems like it’s to be a steward on The Terror (AMC, 2018) it’s required to be queer coded or even better, canonically gay.

There’s Bridgens and Gibson who are apparently all about short kings; then everyone’s favorite “psychosexually obsessed with caring for my captain” haunted doll Jopson, “Solomon’s morality pet” Tommy Armitage, “was chilling in the hot tub not even a foot apart from Crispe because they are gay question mark” Hoar.....

(Skipping Genge and Aylmore since they are literal background extras who don’t show up before the first half of the show is over)

tagged by @blackberrywars to do wip wednesday! does anyone else remember when I said I was aiming for posting a wip weekly? yeah me neither

since I haven’t been writing lately this one is from maybe a month ago, just a tiny snippet that’s (as usual) much bigger in my mind. may or may not write up the whole thing, so I put some additional context / plans in the tags!

—————————-

A simple request. No... not a request. An order. Two words. Quiet at the onset but growing steadily in Izzy's mind, blooming and spilling over to cover every corner.

The whisper of a smile at the corner of Ed's eyes meeting the desperation swimming within them. The soft pair of footsteps padding from above deck to below contrasting the heavy pounding of Izzy's heart echoing in his head, the intensity threatening to shake apart the blossoms that had so recently taken residency.

All of it sharp yet muted, loud yet far away.

hate those moments when i like. do something pretty normal/mundane for me, and then realize how NOT normal it is. and subsequently become hyperaware of my situation & uncertain future. it always hits me like a punch to the gut. ugh.
