Y'know I feel like I'm the only one on the planet who enjoys video games because they LOOK FUN. Like I'm SUPER excited for the new Assassin's Creed: Shadows game, and all I see is people bitching about the graphics (which like, this game isn't out until November??), or the length being possibly too long (which boggles my mind... I pay 80-90$ CAD for PS5 games... if I can get a game to last me 200 hours, that's money well-spent to me??), or the voice acting??? But no one, and I mean NO ONE ever says "that game looks fun".
I have never played a Star Wars game ever. But the new Outcasts game?? It looks fun, I WANT to play it! I don't care about frame rates... I care about "can I put more than 50 hours into this game? and enjoy it".
I remember when Sonic Frontiers came out, and I was SO excited, but everyone bitched about the pop-in and "it looks unfinished". But like... can I run across an entire map at super-sonic speed and have a blast doing it?? YEP. I love Sonic Frontiers.
The new Dragon Age trailer came out. People are bitching about the graphics in that. Uhmmm what?? It looks fun as hell. I'm pumped for Veilguard.
I dunno. Sorry, I'm just super upset because like, I was SO excited watching the Ubisoft Forward yesterday, and then I made the mistake of scrolling down to the chat. Everyone shat on all the games that looked fun that were single player, but got excited for the same old BS multiplayer, live-service, COD-clone, FPS snorefest games! Ugh. Single player games are the shiz! I've put 253 hours into the Witcher 3. 227 into Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen, 61 hours into Sea of Stars!!! Because I had a blast and I don't want them to end!! (Valhalla is still my record at over 450 hours LOL)
I get it, gamers are passionate. I'm passionate about games too!! I just often wonder when people stopped enjoying games because they're fun and instead want to essentially spend 90$ on a movie. *shrugs* Meh. Whatevs.
Sorry, I needed to vent because I feel so alone in my love of video games JUST because they're fun. Anyone else love AC because it's AC??? I've played both the new and old games, and I love all of them because they were FUN.
#shitposting steph#my ramblings#i love video games so much#if it looks fun i'll play it#video games#not sherlock#just me being a whiny baby#anyway ac shadows looks like it's gonna be a blast#mine's preordered already YAAAAA#about me

hate when i see a youtube video that's like 'analyzing why [thing] is bad!' and you watch the video and they just say nothing for twenty minutes
#random thoughts#watched a video on why a specific character was poor representation for survivors of assault#and it was such a nothing burger of a video#'this character is bad because children might see them and think their behavior is okay' okay?#i learned how to block out memories from finn adventure time but that doesn't mean memory suppression shouldn't be addressed in media#plus hazbin hotel. i'm talking about angel dust btw if that wasn't blaringly obvious. is an adult cartoon. for adults#adult cartoons shouldn't have to restrict their subject matter because kids could see it#and angel dust being a male queer SA victim using hypersexuality as a coping mechanism could be good!#and the fact he hits on other people despite it making them uncomfortable isn't exactly a problem a la his character?#it could be a control thing. i used to do something similar (pushing other people's boundaries and complaining when they pushed back)#because it made me feel some kind of control over my life#it could start off as a really shitty joke and then grow into 'oh god is that why he does that??'#but anyway their second main point was that the songs were bad? and that poison being an upbeat song makes it bad#like despite listing many other songs which are upbeat with heavy lyrics. but somehow poison is the exception because it's a cartoon?#like again that could be a character thing. angel dust using obfuscation as a coping mechanism to distract himself from his shitty life.#。・゚゚・the lyrics are upbeat to distract you from how dead i feel inside・゚゚・。#and their reading of the second song seemed really mean-spirited?#like as 'everyone has problems so you're not special because you're a whiny baby' rather than 'you're not as alone as you think you are'#and like if op wanted to just complain about a show they watched then yeah go off i do that all the time#but don't parade it as character analysis???#and they say 'oh reading it as a feelgood you're not alone message doesn't work because these characters' struggles are not equal'#but like. sometimes rape needs to feel like it's not some special trauma. it's not unique and you're not uniquely fucked up for it#two characters' traumas don't need to be directly comparable for them to bond!!!#and im not like. defending hazbin hotel btw. never seen it not going to see it no thanks#i'm just complaining about a mediocre youtube video that i'm going to forget about in a week#god i hate that brand of youtube video. where they just complain about things without going into depth about why they're bad#especially if their complaints are shallow and don't have to do with like. the actual structure of a character or story#like it's so easy to say 'this character is bad because theyre a predatory stereotype' but like. go into some depth at least#i think i hate these videos so much because they're fueled purely by hate. no love for the source material or even a desire to learn#or a love for storytelling even

i'm seeing three times as many people bitching in the tag about the very idea that someone might not like this breed than i see people actually expressing unambiguous dislike for this breed
#the preemptive counter-bitchers are consistently orders of magnitude meaner and more uncharitable about it too#like i'm convinced at this point these people just have these counter-bitches ready to go on launch regardless of actual reception#it's starting to feel like they just fill out a generic “what moral failing can i accuse the potential idea of dislikers of” template#and post it as soon as the thing's out whether or not anyone actually complains much less the way they accuse people of#these people are getting to the point that even when it's about something i unambiguously *like* i still have to resist the urge#to comment “fr staff aren't gonna fuck you bro”#there's like 11 different posts all insisting that the only reason anyone could dislike the new breed is fatphobia#meanwhile i scrolled down the entire tag and found like 2. maybe 3 people that even mentioned it in the same post as disliking the breed#before anyone gets ideas i'm generally-neutral-to-appreciative of the attempt at moldbreaking on the breed#and am completely indifferent the weight of dragons. the only thing i care about is if the design is original and interesting#a vast majority of the dislike posts i've seen so far have been in the vein of “nah man this one's just not for me” or “too maggot”#or “i hoped for an eldritch horror”. and there's not that many of these dislike posts in general. especially compared to normal.#meanwhile the counter-bitching has all been like “YOU'RE ALL JUST GREEDY UNPLEASABLE ENTITLED WHINY BABY FATPHOBES DIE MAD”#it's like this every time and i feel like it takes less and less to get people going like this every time#it almost feels like they get angrier faster the *less* anyone actually complains in the first place#a behavior pattern i'm well versed in from experience with my mother#and they always seem to get angriest at the most mild polite complaint posters rather than any of the actually questionable ones#like they'll ignore someone spouting clear fatphobia to go fling bigotry accusations at someone who just said “eh i kinda hoped for scary”#they also consistently have a bad case of “fr players are a monolith who all ask for the same things”-brain#i don't know what it is that makes it so fr players are so insecure about liking anything that the possible existence of anyone who doesnt#makes them feel like they're being directly attacked#flight rising#i suspect it's downstream of a similar kind of “we know if we don't get what we want we lose our chance because the devs are fickle” thing#to the fundamental flaw that doomed the minecraft mob votes

My internet woes continue, which is very much a first world problem, but one that may make me have to like... actually drive into the office all five days a week (which is just... ugh) if this doesn't get resolved soon.
Now the good news is I don't have a complete internet outage, and when it deigns to actually connect (and not just time out), I have my full speed. The problem is just that... it likes to drop out. Like constantly.
I'm sad to report that I almost indulged my inner-Karen around noon, because after dealing with tech support for nearly an hour (in which I eventually had to connect my laptop to my phone's hotspot so the chat wouldn't get disconnected and boot me back to the beginning of the process), I got the tech repair appointment that was unceremoniously cancelled last week without any warning rescheduled. Before I disconnected the chat I was asking "what are my options if this suddenly gets cancelled again", and the poor agent who is definitely not paid enough to deal with my ass says "don't worry, it won't happen again". I get a text message confirmation of the repair appointment.
All is well.
...and then fifteen minutes later I get a follow-up text message from AT&T that mysteriously there's an "outage" in my area again, and the appointment is put on hold. I log in to my web portal. It says my appointment is on hold because there's an outage.
I scroll down to see the local outages, it's reported as all clear! But diagnostics has found an issue.
You can understand my confusion. Among other strong emotions.
My eye starts to twitch as I hop back into chat, go through the virtual assistant death spiral until I can get a hold of an actual person so I can beg to get my appointment back and they're like "I can't do that there's an outage in your area", and that eye twitch starts get a little out of hand. I am practically begging for the person on the other end to just please, please restore my appointment. There is no outage. I've pulled up the map, it's literally three miles to my northeast, nowhere in my vicinity.
She offers me a partial credit while I am already madly dialing in to talk to someone live, so I can descend into full Karen mode and demand to speak to a manager. I am not proud of myself in this moment, but I am at least still in possession of enough tact to be polite and tactful to the person who picks up the phone (after being on hold for about 10 minutes. No automated messaging system, I will wait with the hold music thank you. I do not have any trust a real person will call me back).
I finally get a real person on the phone and am like "please, please just restore my tech appointment. Please don't make me have to go into the office 5 days a week to work". I mean, in between once again explaining everything that has happened.
And finally, finally I have someone speak to me straight and explain what the hell is going on. Basically the hurricane last week actually did cause damages to various cable/infrastructure, and they're having issues tracking down what's causing a widespread issue, and also yes, I'm not the only one who's been going through this merry-go-round of tech support/intermittent connection.
There is actually no ETA on when my internet will actually be restored in full, because they honestly don't know what's causing the issue. And honestly, I'm a lot more understanding about that, because at least it's upfront and clear. He was also kind enough to actually tell me how to bypass the inane "try restarting your router through the app" 5x in a row nonsense if my issue persists after this "outage" is supposedly fixed (basically just call in again and talk to a real person).
So the TL;DR is... my Shroedinger's internet will continue for a while it seems. Pour one out for us ever finishing Greedfall on stream in a timely manner.
#just being a little whiny baby#the moral of the story i guess is to not be afraid of phone calls#i haven't even tried to see if the connection is stable enough to remain connected to swtor for any length of time#although i doubt it#it kept dropping my teams calls last week and i had to resort to doing a meeting through facetime#like don't get me wrong i'm ecstatic i have power and a/c#i just miss my frands 😢#and also half the time i'm scrolling the tumbles everything is a gradient#so it's a coin toss if i'll ever actually see the context of a post rn

banish every gaslight; let clarity shine - Part 17
There's... a lot going on here, but in a good way.
Part 1 [FFN/AO3] - Part 2 [FFN/AO3] - Part 3 [FFN/AO3] - Part 4 [FFN/AO3] - Part 5 [FFN/AO3] - Part 6 [FFN/AO3] - Part 7 [FFN/AO3] - Part 8 [FFN/AO3] - Part 9 [FFN/AO3] - Part 10 [FFN/AO3] - Part 11 [FFN/AO3] - Part 12 [FFN/AO3] - Part 13 [FFN/AO3] - Part 14 [FFN/AO3] - Part 15 [FFN/AO3] - Part 16 [FFN/AO3]
Law tries to sacrifice himself to Doflamingo, only for Baby 5 and Lami to have other ideas. [3746 words; AU where there is a Third Corazón, whose existence makes Law’s life hell]
Chaos reigned as the victims of the Birdcage began to realize where their lot truly lied. Random folks were taken over by Doflamingo’s power, killing their friends and family with tears in their eyes and anguished apologies on their lips. Soldiers not being puppeted tried to control the chaos to no avail. It was precisely the sort of chaos that Doflamingo desired—that he craved—and it all became disturbingly clear that this had been his intention all along.
“Shit, we’ve got to move,” Law hissed. He looked over his shoulder and saw the fringes of Luffy’s troupe. “Strawhat-ya, think you can get your minions to make a distraction while I get my sisters to safety?”
“They’re not my minions,” Luffy scowled. Lami and Baby 5 appeared on either side of him, equally irritated.
“We’re not going to step aside and let you do all the dirty work,” Baby 5 pouted.
“We’re not babies,” Lami added.
“Yeah, and the set of us are eleven stars, in case you forgot how to do math,” Law replied. His sisters both avoided eye contact—he had them there. “Lami, you literally just got your memories back—I’m going to need you to hold back for a bit until we’re sure there’s no permanent damage. Strawhat-ya and I are going to take down Doflamingo.”
“…but…!”
“No buts—doctor’s orders. Now don’t make me Shamble you away from here myself.”
“Fine.” Lami glared at Law, who instantly felt cowed. “You better come back.”
“For my sisters? Yeah.” He held open his arms and Lami and Baby 5 both hugged him, the pair holding him tight until suddenly he was gone, pebbles falling where both he and Luffy had been standing. The sisters looked at one another and instantly knew how the other felt.
“We’re not listening to him, are we Bee?” Lami chuckled.
“Since when have we listened to him when he’s being an idiot?” Baby 5 asked. She took a cigarette from her pocket and lit it, sucking in some smoke before exhaling heavily. “Let’s go before anyone too annoying finds us.”
“Yeah—I gotta see what it is I can do now that my memory’s back!” Baby 5 looked at her with slight confusion. “Oh, uh… they say that power is stored in memories…? I might be stronger after all this!”
“You think so?” Baby 5 wondered. Lami shrugged.
“There’s only one way to find out, now isn’t there?”
-_-_-_-_-_-_-
It wasn’t ideal, but Law was more than willing to let Strawhat-ya’s entourage haul ass in his stead if it meant that he got to Doflamingo without getting too tired. Although he had plenty of stamina normally, his abilities being tied to such a thing was a huge downfall in a situation like this, forcing him to rely on others. While normally it was his crew he fell back on, the present company left… much to be desired.
“Don’t think I’ve forgiven you,” Cavendish scoffed, narrowing his eyes at Law. While the Supernova was with Luffy and Kyros on the stronger Ucy, the blond captain was on his trusty horse Farul, heading towards the King’s Plateau in the most beautiful of ways… just ask him.
Law knew better, though. This guy was just weird. Why did he need to keep relying on weird people? Annoying people? Frustrating people? It was getting to be a bit much.
“I don’t care what you have and haven’t done,” Law replied dully. Ucy jumped over a large piece of rubble and it forced Law to hold on to Luffy, as well as Kyros behind him grab onto his shoulders. “Can’t you drive?!”
“You can’t drive a bull, Torao! That’s silly!” Luffy looked back with a wide grin. “Ucy’s doing just fine!”
“That’s what you say.” Movement caught the corner of Law’s eye and he saw Pica’s stone form smacking its arm as it tried to hit the glints of light running up it—Zoro-ya. At least his oddities were being put to good use distracting an Executive… one turned to their side, one distracted, and two to go…
“Where is Miss Lami and Miss Cinca?” Kyros asked lowly. Unease swept over Law; he didn’t like the other man’s tone as he almost whispered in his ear. “I feel an obligation to them; there was so much I could have done for them over the years, yet I missed the opportunity due to my position.”
“They’ve always been nuisances—don’t blame yourself,” Law replied. He could hear Kyros chuckle in response. “Do you have sisters?”
“I have a sister-in-law, and she is a spitfire.”
“Don’t get a second one. I can’t recommend it.”
“It takes better men than us to survive more than one sister,” Kyros laughed. Law couldn’t argue that fact—how he survived the years he spent with both Lami and Baby 5, he had no clue.
“Shishishishi, I don’t have a sister, but I’m sure it’s not too much different from having brothers,” Luffy snickered. “Soon you’ll be able to laugh like that every day! Mingo’s not gonna know what hit him!”
Law hoped he was right—part of his roping Luffy and his crew into everything was to provide a wild card option that even Doflamingo could not anticipate—but would it be enough? There was so much that he couldn’t account for in this hellscape of a country that he was now determined to get his sisters out of, even if it meant the most morbid part of his original plan came to fruition.
Then again, big siblings were supposed to do anything to protect the younger ones, right? All the way down to the wire. Especially big brothers and trouble-making little sisters; then again, if it was so universal of a thing, then Cora-san would have had a much different fate…
No. Nothing about Doflamingo was normal. Things that were supposed to be experienced by everyone—or at the very least understandable to everyone—were beneath him. He couldn’t fathom taking care of a younger sibling if it didn’t work out best for himself in the end… the man’s concept of love was twisted and perverse, ruined by his worldview and the desire to watch everything burn to the ground from the safety of his perch.
If there was anyone who could stop him, Law knew that the list was short and he was towards the top—if not at the top itself—and he was making it his duty to keep it that way.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Baby 5 and Lami had to dodge swarms of citizens and literal bullets before they came across an area they could reasonably catch their breath in. It was—ironically enough—an outdoor training yard, where children played at their favorite games and adults practiced for gladiator tryouts. Now it was deserted in favor of finding the starred bounties before the time limit was up.
“Okay… so… how do we measure how strong you are now?” Baby 5 wondered. Lami fiddled with a punching bag, making sure it and its stand were secure.
“I dunno, but there has to be some way of doing it,” she claimed. “If only Thelma had been more specific about metrics…”
“Thelma…? Who’s Thelma…?”
“The lady who altered my memories,” Lami shrugged. She landed an experimental punch on the bag—nothing out of the ordinary. “She put a copy of herself in my brain to explain what happened if I ever unlocked my memories, saying that power is stored in them somehow. My guess is that she was a nice lady when she wasn’t rewriting people’s brains for money.”
“Oh…” Baby 5 watched her sister land a couple more punches and kicks before a thought came to her. “Since there doesn’t seem to be a way to measure this, let’s just try different fighting techniques. How about Rokushiki? Do you think you can do those now?”
“I can try.” Lami moved away from the punching bag and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. Her instruction in the Six Powers had been so long ago now… could she even do it? She tried to use Shave and instead of moving super-fast, she tripped and fell on her face. “Nope—that’s still a bust.” Baby 5 helped her to her feet, face still scrunched up in thought.
“How about more Haki? You were already pretty good at it.”
“I can try…” Lami went over to one of the practice dummies and coated her fists in Haki. It felt easier than before, at the very least, and she’d take it. She readied one punch and ended up knocking the dummy’s head off before she could even touch it.
Ah… well… shit…
“There they are!” shouted a voice. Baby 5 and Lami both looked towards the entrance to see that there were a few dozen people now entering the training area. They could have taken them out easily, but they were all seemingly random citizens who looked terrified; there was no way they could harm them.
“We don’t want to fight you!” Baby 5 insisted. “Please! We’re trying to figure out a way to stop Doflamingo!”
“You say that, but we know how strong Doflamingo is,” one of the citizens said. “Bringing you to him is our only option.”
“Y-Yeah…” another person said. “We don’t wanna do this… but we have to…”
“You don’t have to do anything,” Lami added. She stepped between Baby 5 and the citizens, coating more of her body in Armament Haki just in case someone made a quick move. “We were part of this mess, so we’re going to help clean it up. Please trust us!”
“Is it true?” someone asked from further back. “Are you not actually Doflamingo’s niece?”
“Yeah!? Are you really related to another one of the Warlords?!”
“What else has been a lie all these years?!”
“We don’t want to do this, but we have to!”
“Why are you worth so many stars?!”
“How come you’re one of the Birdcage targets?!”
“Just turn yourself in!”
“If you plan on cleaning this mess up, then why are you here?!”
All the questions began to pour out, each of them bombarding Lami with not only the questions themselves, but also the raw emotions coming from each of the citizens. Shit… this must have been the Observation side of her Haki having grown more sensitive, as she could feel everything from the group bearing down on her unlike anything she’d felt before. The questions kept coming, and she kept being pressed further down… down… down… down…
“QUIET!”
As she screamed, Lami let out a burst of Haki, hoping that it would help bolster the Armament protecting her from the townsfolk and shore up her Observation against their emotions. Instead it made them collapse, everyone but Baby 5 and a lone teen holding a bat falling unconscious to the ground.
“What the hell…?” Lami wondered aloud. “That was not what I wanted to do…”
“That’s…” Baby 5 looked at the teen and saw that his knees were about to give way underneath him. “Kid! You see that?” He looked at her and nodded shakily. “That was Conqueror’s Haki, just like Doflamingo! Spread the word that Princess Antonia is going to win this!” The teen dropped his bat and ran, which made Lami scowl.
“You shouldn’t’ve done that,” she chided. “Poor kid’s about to piss himself.”
“Think about it: Doflamingo is so confident he’s kept you right where he wants you all these years that he thinks you’re weak. You’re not—that was Conqueror’s. I’m not making it up.”
“It’s just Armament, like when I broke through the memory block.”
“I thought that at first too, but this is a lot more than just Armament.” Baby 5 took Lami by the shoulders and looked up at her, ready to shake her younger sister for emphasis if needed. “You’re strong, Lami… people are naturally drawn to you… that burst of Haki made people pass out… made Sugar pass out…”
“Then what you’re saying is…?” She looked at the unconscious people laying around them, unnerved. “…I can take him down without touching him…?”
“Not alone, but that’s the idea.”
“Do you think Law-nii can do it too?”
“Don’t know; don’t care. If you’re this powerful,” Baby 5 gestured towards the unconscious citizens, “then we need to get you up to wherever Doflamingo is so you can help kick his ass.”
“…but I’m not…”
“Yes, you are! My brother is smart, but my sister is strong! Now if I’m right about this, then you’re likely the only one other than Straw Hat and Law-nii who has a chance at defeating Doflamingo… and frankly I’d put you at the top of that list. You’re able to do something I’ve only seen him do! That’s worth something, isn’t it?”
“I guess…? I don’t know how to control it though…”
“We’ll figure that out on the way,” Baby 5 insisted. “This changes everything!”
Lami really, really hoped she was right. Time was running out and there was only so much they would be able to do when it came to stalling the inevitable.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Law was beginning to rethink his approach to everything as he was attempting to hold his own against Doflamingo. It would have been a bit easier if Trebol wasn’t also there running interference, making it that much harder to actually get close enough to Doflamingo to land a hit. Bad enough he’d already was faked out by decapitating a clone made of string what the actual fuck, but Luffy had also been with him, only to get distracted again, making it so his wild card was so wild he couldn’t even follow a goddamned plan, seas help him.
“Why do you insist on being like this?” Doflamingo pouted mockingly. “I could have given you everything…”
“You keep saying that as though repeating it enough makes it true.”
“It’s worked for Dressrosa and it sure as hell worked for my ancestors,” he claimed. “That’s how politics works; say something loud and long enough and people will eventually believe it.”
“Yeah, and they’ve been shown that you’ve been lying to them this entire time,” Law spat back. He kept looking around in an attempt to find something to buy him some precious time—all he needed was seconds of pure action to enact his plan. The large Room over the Plateau was already up and he was not going to ruin that by acting rashly.
“They were poor before and are rich now; money talks, boy, and most of all it softens people’s opinions of little scamps like myself. Why would they listen to anyone else? Not even their old king will have their ears, because people are willing to overlook war and strife and things not being right as long as they have cash.”
“…and what about the hundreds of Dressrosans you’ve had Sugar turn into toys over the years? I’m sure they won’t be too thrilled by having a few extra beri.”
“Seen for what they are: troublemakers,” Doflamingo replied. “Let them go and the discontent will breed without me. Dressrosa will collapse upon itself and finally get what it deserves after the centuries of being ruled by pretenders.”
“Behehe… they will be the first to fall, won’t they Doffy?” Trebol chuckled.
“They might,” Doflamingo mused, “or they might have to watch the world collapse around me, thinking they’re safe until it finally infects them, where they all turn in on themselves. It all depends on if they disappoint me this afternoon or not.”
Law flexed his fingers; this was going to be difficult. He needed something that would knock both of them off their games—if not off their feet—they were too confident for there to be nothing he could use… wait a moment…! A voice that sounded suspiciously like Cora-san rattled in the back of his brain, reminding him of words he hadn’t genuinely thought of in a long time.
‘The People of the D. are the natural enemies of the gods.’
That was it!
“You don’t know how doomed you are,” Law scoffed, his grin wicked. Trebol looked confused while Doflamingo’s brow knit in irritation.
“You look like you suddenly remembered a big secret,” Doflamingo noted. “What’s so funny that you have to remember it now?”
“You don’t know my whole name.”
Doflamingo’s face went pale.
“…and why would your name be something that important?” Trebol wondered in genuine confusion. Seas, he was stone-stupid. “The name of an orphaned piece of trash means nothing.”
“My sister and I carry names passed down in our family for generations,” Law boasted. Just a little bit and they’d be caught off-guard enough. “My full name is Trafalgar D. Water Law and I am your worst nightmare.”
“A D.? Tch, like that’ll work on us—Doffy…? Doffy, what’s wrong?” Trebol looked at Doflamingo to see that the other man was shaking in an emotion he had never seen in him before.
Donquixote Doflamingo was terrified.
As Trebol began to freak out over Doflamingo’s lack of composure, Law made his move. Not staying in one place long, he switched himself around at almost a lightning pace, slicing through Trebol with the Radio Knife multiple times and piercing Doflamingo’s heart with Injection Shot. Both men collapsed—the former into a bunch of chunks and the latter simply dead. He went back to where he had been standing and dropped the Room—he could finally take a deep breath and relax. It was done…
…or so he thought. Trebol began to chuckle ominously despite his chopped-up state. Law’s eyes slowly crept to Doflamingo, whose body was still as a slight breeze passed over them…
Then, suddenly, Doflamingo’s body jerked; once, twice, and finally a third time brought out a groan from the man. He sat up looking absolutely furious.
“I… I pierced your heart…” Law panicked. He took a step back as Doflamingo stood up. “You should be dead—your heart is in shreds!”
“That was a neat trick, boy, but you should really save that sort of thing for someone who cannot repair their own organs with strings,” Doflamingo spat. He activated his own Devil Fruit ability and trapped Law in his strings. “What do you know about the Will of D.?”
“Only what Cora-san told us,” Law replied. He attempted to keep a cool demeanor, yet it was difficult to with his limbs locked and his fight-or-flight response screaming that he needed to flee.”He knew what we are, but didn’t live long enough to tell us. My parents died before we were old enough to learn what our secret names mean. I’m sure you know… tell me… why are we that terrifying to you?”
“You vermin are no more than the boogeymen of Celestial nurseries, you’ll be loathe to learn,” Doflamingo replied. He twitched a finger and Law’s right arm was sliced off, the string making a clean slice through muscle and bone, allowing the limb to drop to the ground as Law screamed in pain. “Children in Mary Geoise are told that if they’re not good and do the things proper Celestial Dragons do, they’ll be eaten up by the People of the D., their flesh cooked into stews as their bones are gnawed and entrails sewn into wee purses to hold all their teeth. You were nothing more than lies Auntie Teolinda told to strike fear in Rosi’s heart and stoke inspiration in mine. To think of it again took me by surprise, is all.”
Tears stung Law’s eyes as he was consumed by pain, first in his arm, then when Doflamingo landed a solid punch to his stomach, then head. He fell to the ground a crumpled, bloody mess as he reached for his severed arm, cradling it as he attempted to open a Room and fix it. Doflamingo kicked him in the side, knocking him into the dirt. Lifting his leg, the older man’s lip curled in a sneer as he readied to crush his skull like a ripe melon, ending the struggle once and for all.
“Say hello to my idiot brother for me.”
Except, he didn’t stomp on Law’s head. His foot was stopped by another—he looked at the owner and saw it was none other than Lami, glaring at him with all she had.
“Don’t touch my brother,” she snarled. He smirked at that.
“Antonia, my darling, don’t be like that,” he replied. “Naughty children must be punished—you know full-well I’m right.”
“I know full-well that you’re full of it.”
“Lami… don’t…” Law coughed. “Get out of here…”
“Fat chance, Law-nii; it’s our turn to protect you now.” Just as she finished her sentence, Baby 5 came rocketing in from Doflamingo’s left side, snatching Law while using her missile-feet to quickly bring them out of sight. Doflamingo nearly went after them, only for Lami to recapture his attention by letting out a burst of Haki…
...Conqueror’s Haki.
“Well, look at what we have here,” he hissed. “Aren’t you a little too small-time to be using that?” He unleashed his own Conqueror’s Haki, allowing it to clash with the young woman’s, threatening to overtake her. “How’s that for a trick?”
“Don’t you dare!” Doflamingo turned around and saw Luffy standing there, his own Conqueror’s Haki flaring as he fumed. “I wanted to punch out Mingo!”
“Get in line, Straw Hat!” Lami insisted. “My beef with him is bigger than yours!”
“We both have big beef!” Luffy shouted. “And then, when he’s defeated, we’re gonna eat a lot of beef when we party! You hear that, Mingo?!”
“I hear a gaggle of nasty children whining,” Doflamingo stated. “Why don’t I teach you a lesson so that you can learn your place? This is a world for the strong, for the ruthless, for the unyielding, and it has no place for misbehaving children.”
“Strong? Ruthless? Unyielding? It’s a good thing you made me those things.” Lami finally used her foot to push away from Doflamingo, kicking them apart from one another. Luffy tried to punch the Warlord from behind, only for him to hear him moving and dodge, with Luffy and Lami colliding and tangling together as they fell to the ground. By the time Lami was able to extricate herself from the rubbery noodles that served as Luffy’s limbs, Doflamingo already had strings coming from his fingers, ready to fight.
Okay. Maybe this wasn’t the best idea. But it was all they had.
#One Piece#One Piece fan fiction#Trafalgar Law#Trafalgar Lami#Baby 5#Donquixote Doflamingo#I swear to God I'm nearing completion on the next chapter of this and 'ghosts speak in whispers and lies' and current seagull fic#there's just a lot going on; big project hopefully to premiere in early 2025#also: FFN is being a whiny little bitch for me rn so it'll go up there when things are less error-filled#Monkey D.

Me and Big Name Fandumb Straggots petitprincess1 and ayylmao.tv after I call them out on their bullshit and block them, basically...But especially petitprincess1...
Because wasn't the entirety of that movie one big transphobic rape joke basically and she thought using a tacky, "sassy" gif of that Jim Carry bullshit even back in 2020 was a serve?
And yes, this fandumb does sexualize everything but in a very Bad Form, telling, neo nazi simping way kind of way that just dries up all moistness from the cunt when the rest of y'all can't seem to keep the word "degeneracy" out of your cheato dust breathing, incel/femcel mouths even "ironically" and that's why I couldn't bare trying to recommend these shows to any of my actually filthy, fucking John Waters loving queer friends who actually know who he is and actually know how to fuck. Because some of y'all fucked up the vibe so badly, in the Bad, Bad way... And I still (somewhat) blame Ashley Nicholas and her moistphobia for "Trend Setting" all that Bad, bad taste. Still tastes like that sauceless chikn nuggit (so if vivziepop actually made coco melon for tenderqueers... Oop!) Baja Blast flavored Furry Has -Been Tears, cheato dust, transphobia, and bad eggs in here sometimes and honestly if you're not a fanartists with loved ones keeping the vibes alive I'm kind of over it... My literal, crippled hands give me every excuse to write these think pieces while I'm waiting for my fanartist to help me complete and debut my character so I can focus on creating more art for her-- but these abled-bodied nasties have no excuse to be spamming the space with clickbait and gossip blogs regurgitating Medrano's every move on social media while harassing other artists and creators to the point where it just over saturates everything else good in this fandom and I have to turn my replies and everything off because abled bodied mentally ills get so offended when you call them abled bodied mentally ill and then I get an ask insulating I'm going "anti" when the insult was directed towards an anti who was essentially trying to tip my wheelchair over like a cow and block evading and harassing me in the first place-
Oh and let's not forget that I got screamed at, block evaded, harassed some more and called "biphobic" by another alleged bi girl, all for the crime of calling her "honey" but I guess I'm just gate keeping now because no actual queer person would think using a gif from Ace Ventura was an own and I guess that's why we have ayylmao.tv as our Fandumb Overlord and V*rb*l A*e as our Fandumb Mascot because we've learned from the Voluntary Celibates for The Radio Demon how BUNDADDY Ashley Nichols taught y'all during her SMUT SALONS to be too afraid of THE MOIST to go out and Experience some ACTUAL HUMAN CUNT, COCK, AND PUSSY despite being SURROUNDED BY ALL THESE PUSSY CUNT CUNT CARTOON WOMEN AND FURFAGS AND ALL THEIR PUSSY CUNT CUNT DICKS AND VAMPIRIC HENTAI TESTICLES. DRACULA GOT REINCARNATED INTO ALUCARD GOT REINCARNATED INTO A DEER, IN A STORY WITHOUT ALL THE NAZIS, COPS, OR RAPE BECAUSE IT'S WRITTEN BY A QUEER WOMEN, AND Y'ALL LET A STRAIGHT MAN PULLING A BLEEDMAN AND SIMPING NEO NAZI GAMERS BE LIKE: "I dont see why people want to fuck this character at all! UWU" AND THEN Y'ALL LISTENED TO A PEWDIEPIE ENJOYER MAKING A CLICK BAIT FARM OF A QUEER WOMAN'S ART AND YOU LET HIM BECOME THE FACE OF "HELLAVERSE" YOUTUBE MAKING "CONTENT" ABOUT "WORSE" CLICKBAIT BROS LATELY LIKE HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE ELON MUSK KEEPING DONALD TRUMP IN CHECK AND THEN I GUESS PETITPRINCESS1, V*RB*L A*E AND THAT OTHER V-TUBER BITCH I DON'T GIVE ABOUT JUST GET TO SHARE THE ONE KANYE WEST BRAINCELL-- THERE I SAID WHAT I SAID!
But this fandom space and the louder youtube fandumb space in general just makes it feel so unsafe to be a minority sometimes and I'm actually understanding why actual queer women and femmes with queer experiences outside the fandom, including actual kink and leather spaces, just cannot bring themselves to interact with it, or take it seriously as an Iconic Piece of Queer Media, despite Medrano's General Aesthetics and Good Choices being *SO* Objectively Pussy Cunt Cunt Slay! The fucking majority of the time.
Because hey, I can admit it, Medrano's Bad Choices ARE cringe, and her scorned ex crew members and the internet personas that tend to attract her attentions are even more so... And it sort of does bring down the mood a bit. But that's honestly just the consequence of being a young Scene Queen interacting with Fur Fags and Theater Kids the majority of her career so I can give her grace and forgive her.
The song 'Loser Baby' and these shows exist the way they do for a reason and I wouldn't change who Medrano is or her journey that brought her here for the the world.
And much like with Diablo Cody, and Jennifer's Body... First of all, I will be calling out the ableism Medrano lets Rogers write into her show sometimes, AND I'm not saying that Medrano herself has any control over the people marketing her shit, including her merch, or the people spreading misinfo she's sometimes maybe forced to interact with because of the environment that this creates, including incels monopolizing and monetizing anything having to do with her shit for their own gain ... BUT! That doesn't mean that while I suffer here I can't critique Medrano's Wider Fanbase and how it got like this because I do believe this youtube and vivziepaparazzi problem, with certain types of people having nothing better to do than re-posting and commentating on her every word.... All the time... IS a type of unfortunate trickle down by product of Medrano coming of age on the Internet in what was, at the time Metrosexual Scene Kid Fur Fag Central and thus today, because of everything she went through, her and her work can tend to attract another certain kind of lackadaisical person, for lack of a better term, who just does not give a single fuck about anything unless it offends them personally just because it gets "too political UWU" and makes *Insert Political Majority Here* "Uncomfortable" and "We should just all be here to enjoy the animation and sing Jambalaya blah blah blah bc antis bullied us into having a Victim Complex so now every 'Controversy' involving race, ability, gender or sexual orientation unless they're already considered 'degenerate' by cishet white male gamer dudebro standards is Invalid and any actual queer/femme in the fandom serving much more Queerer Pussy Cunt Cunt Looks and Opinions than we're used to by talking to the rest of like we're adults who don't need everything to be a SING-ALONG despite what Jim Carry and Jeff Bezos think? Well, that person MUST just be an Anti taking it too far and out to destroy the Community We Made out of Clickbait because she's being so Mean and Ruuuuuuuude~! UWU"
And honey, I'm just here to give y'all a Reality Check and spill that tea because any queer here is gonna opinions and Tell The Truth this Cunty it's the Crippled Girl who's Felt Personally Victimized by Brandon Rogers, has absolutely no parasocial relationship complex with Medrano whatsoever and thus can admit that she does have bad taste in (most) internet personalities (besides honestly Brandon) and that Sausage Party, Medrano's general affinity for DudeBro Humor that got Vaggie actually named "Vagina" and probably honestly brought a good chunk of her "DudeBro" fandumb over to help bronify the fandom (aside from maybe the actual can of worms hiring and retiring an actual brony and outted grommer probably opened..) Dear Evan Henson, and Owl City all suck... And while we're at it, Beetlejuice The Musical and the effect it had on the girlies in that fandom sucks too, but I like how it inspired Medrano so and I like what she did with it, so I'll give her that.
But you guys? The YouTube/Twitter Clickbait Incels and Femcels who think someone gayer than you going "Hon.." is an insult? I'm gonna give you one last read for the night from an An Inspiring Drag Creature...
Almost every single male voice actor in the Hazbin pilot just got replaced with someone hotter, nicer and more charming and attractive than them and y'all with extra hotties added on to the official cast and given their chance to shine and y'all complained about that. You COMPLAINED! Some retired pilot actors even went on twitter to encourage you by complaining about feeling insecure and unattractive in comparison too ... I realize that. 💀
But then Valentino's Official Voice Actor had to show up lying shirtless in bed on Twitter like G and tell y'all to calm down because basically for a lot of reasons, the wider fandumb space ain't giving Pussy, ain't giving Cunt and Given Slay, and we love Stella, her brother, who's fucking her or badly wants to, Valentino, Crimson, and Striker here in Adult Land because their designs are Pussy Pussy Cunt Cunt Slay and all their voice actors are fucking hot too... I don't know how to word this without repeatedly empathizing one word multiple times but fictional written incest fiction and some pre- agreed upon fictional incest role play between two consenting and unrelated adults can be fucking hot too but some of y'all with your moistphobias just aren't ready for that very adult conversation and would flip your shits if the cookie actually crumbled like that in canon!
My name is Luna Worst, apparently...
In conclusion:
Can y'all tell I finally snapped, went off my shitz and pinched The Leprechaun today and do you think he's gonna turned me into gold? Meaning a monetized clickbait "explainer" video in which he calls me "Insane" because as a Thorny Irish Rose in a fandom where fools be kissing the blarney stone, making clickbait content farms off a Fiery Latina because they have no bitches of their own, I proudly claim it's my fight as a beautiful Irish Bitch to hold an Ugly Irish Arsehole giving Jason McGuire from Dark Shadows meets Perez Hilton meets That Creepy Reading or whateverthefuck accountable and finally kill the fucking bastard if I have to! :D
Merry Sinsmas, everyone! ;)

I can do and have done before. but I’m still gonna call my mom for guidance 😅#idk I think the main thing that’s stressing me out is spending money on food vs. groceries#and trying to eat at least some protein and fruits/vegetables etc. while also not spending exorbitantly#bc I am SOOOO irrationally anxious about money. I hate hate hate spending money#so the whole idea of grocery shopping is just kind of filling me with dread 🥲#but I will do it bc I need to Adult at some point#I just. idk I guess most students do this and I’m being whiny about it bc I’m not used to it??#but it just feels like So Much to be taking five classes and doing a bunch of extracurriculars and living on my own for the first time!#like! ahhh! too much at once!#😰😰😰#and I need to get an internship soon 😀 and if I don’t get one this semester I need to at least get a job so I can stress less about money 😀#but I always stress about money regardless 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 even though I have scholarships savings etc 😀😀 ocd things! 😁 (🥲)#thank god for my meds and the thought that I’ll be starting therapy in the next week or two#and also my mom for being like the sweetest wver

funniest part of spn fandom is when people go “ugh i can’t STAND sam (or dean) because he’s so self-righteous and annoying and selfish and mean to his brother-” as if these are not traits that apply to them both equally. putting aside that yes, sometimes characters will be characters and have aspects of them that bring them into conflict with other characters, (even characters you might like! scary!) the show’s been off the air for like four years now, can we not all just admit at this point that 99% of brother favoritism isn’t about who they are as characters and is more about which one you find hot or which one’s daddy issues you were able to relate to more.
#spn#its just so funny to me how transparent it can be like. ‘sam is so fucking annoying i hate him. also i find him ugly and dean is so hot.’#or ‘why is dean such a piece of shit. i dont think about what he’s going through ever btw because sam had it worse’#this is the stupidest thing in the fandom. guys its the brothers show. you kind of do have to at least understand where both of the brothers#are coming from. else the whole emotional impact of them sacrificing themselves for each other and returning to each other despite how much#they do to hurt each other and in the end that love being what saves and damns the world time and time again. i mean. you miss out on that.#dont you? if all you can think about is that you think sam is a whiny selfish baby and that dean is an asshole who doesn’t care about anyone

I ask the universe again, WHY must I be required to have a full-time job??? Is it not enough to simply spend one's time concocting sweet and/or angsty scenarios for two adorable plumber brothers??? Someone pay me to do that instead, please and thank you!!
#don't mind me just feeling a little frustrated that i have so little free time these days. it feels like i'm never gonna finish this fic#or write anything else i want to because i am just TOO EXHAUSTED ALL THE TIME :( [shakes fist at capitalism]#or it just simply takes me SO long that no one cares by the time i'm done ahahaha :( :( :(#just being a whiny baby for a moment. it will pass#lol if you are still in college and get summers off cherish that for all it's worth you will miss it so deeply when it's over#ccs personal

I wanna commission people for cute self indulgent things but my pool of potential artists is small cuz I wanna be smart with my money as I don't have a lot of excess for myself but I wouldn't know what to even get if I do get one and if all else fails I could just draw it myself but its not tHE SSAAAAAAMMMMEEE
#don't mind me I'm being a whiny baby#I just want cute art of me and the Stan Twins but I refuse to ask for free things or requests#for one thats unfair to the artist#and two I'm just a random derg on the internet that hasn't even put out a fic or comic that would warrant fanart being made#so it wouldn't be deserved!!#yells into the void#but god there's so much I wanna share with this story BUT I CAN'T YET#not without it being weirdly(?) out of context

Started watching Bastard!! and I'm very pissed to find out Wendee Lee is voicing yet another black woman. Like I know she wasn't publicly racist until the (failed) Yoruichi recast last year and this came out in 2022 but like, I don't wanna fuckin hear her ever again after that.
#i mean when it comes to bleach i know im gonna have to anyway cuz im too attached to the dub but like :/#remember folks! one va being a shitty person can ruin the entire thing for everyone!#as attractive as schneider's en voice is im just gonna watch in jp. at least hes also voiced by taniyama so theres a plus#anairis deserved to be yoruichi btw. fuck yall and fuck wendee for being whiny babies#personal#AND BY THE WAY! DID ANYONE COMPLAIN WHEN CHAD WAS RECAST BY AN ACTUAL HISPANIC MAN?????#ONLY WHEN ITS THE WAIFU YOU JERKED OFF TO WHEN YOU WERE 13 IS IT A PROBLEM! I SEE IT! I FUCKIN SEE IT!!!#sorry i get so into en vas that i actually talk about the drama. these are MY celebrities. we all have our vices. forgive me 😔#i will do it again tho

feeling a weird disconnect of like.
how am i supposed to do laundry when there's an active genocide going on?
#whiny baby post#obviously my upset/discomfort is fucking nothing compared to what palestinians are going through right now#like it's nothing for me to feel kind of weird about having to continue on with my normal days#while fucking atrocities are being committed both in gaza and around the world#it's just such a strange sensation to bear witness to all of this in a place that will likely never experience anything close to it#and then i still have to do laundry#like just set the news aside and go about everything like a normal day#again i know my feelings are very very unimportant about this#but i know im not the only person feeling this way#idkidk i just had to like. say something.

few things about the tvd fandom annoy me as much as the way y’all call elena weak for turning her humanity off as if she even did it of her own free will 🧍
#y’all have sooo many nuanced opinions about Every character besides elena and it’s infuriating#caroline turns her humanity off bc she’s overwhelmed and can’t deal? that’s valid!! everyone supports that!!#elena does the same bc shes Forced to even tho we know she would’ve forced herself to deal with her pain and suffering bc that’s who she is?#suddenly she’s weak!!!#the way y’all insist on bringing attention to other characters trauma bc it matters too by pushing elena’s down and filing it all as#unimportant and just elena being a whiny cry baby is so…#we can discuss other characters trauma and losses without diminishing what elena has been through#we can highlight that bonnie has suffered So Much through the show and never given the proper chance to grieve WITHOUT putting elena down in#the process. we can talk about caroline losing her mum without making comments about how strong she is compared to elena#the way y’all insist on putting elena down in order to lift up other characters rubs me the wrong way#idk if any of this makes sense but#i saw a tiktok that annoyed me so here we are 🥴#elena gilbert#pro elena gilbert#the vampire diaries#the vampire diaries tag

i don't think you ever get over that though
#like i just don't see how. my own mother. i'll never be a normal person or a functional member of society because we all fucked it#big time too#but how could i.#how could i ever unfuck it when nothing was started by me and nothing belongs to me and my whole life so far was in their hands#is still in their hands. i can't even support myself i'm a wreck i've got no footing of my own am i not allowed to be scared at least#of being released into the wild#i'm making it out to be more serious than it probably will be‚ she always decides she's had enough and she's gonna leave or kick us out#but it still aches!!!#it still aches. i should learn to support myself and get on the insect diet for sure‚ i'm acting like the whiny baby i am#it's just sad that i never managed to become someone who is needed or someone who isn't a burden
