He saw her skill at young age. Saw the fire in her eyes as they both trained together.

He was older than his sister, though not by much. Still, it meant he had a good few years of training on her. But what the girl lacked in experience, she made up for in raw skill.

Every opening he saw in her unrelenting attack, he was too slow to react too. He faced her assault head-on until it proved too much and he fell to the ground.

The siblings stared at eachother, both, evidently, shocked at what had just happened. This was the first time Kuina had beat him and staring up at her, chest heaving, he had a sneaking suspicion it wouldn't be the last.

He realized that for the first time in his life, he was afraid of his baby sister.

-♡♡ lots of love

P.S. oooooh, I would say more but I keep getting more and more ideas, and I think I might just write a long form fic of this. Though.....what should her brother's name be?

‼️ FOR THE FIRST TIME HE WAS AFRAID OF HIS BABY SISTER ‼️😭😭

pls pls write the fic im living for this specific genre of angst

hmmmm... what would zoro name his son.... lowkey I think he would be the type to match sibling names, like matching letters. perhaps keito or kaito, cause I think those sound cool. he tried to name his son katana before his wife gave him a firm no-

ooo Haru is also a possibility.

also, @fanaticsnail, ill just leave this here, because the lore has expanded and it keeps getting more heart aching 😃

in the submarine when sissel changes his "face", lynne reacts with shock even though they never enter the ghost world....if a ghost is visible like that, i wonder, what did they see when they looked at the pile of trash?

joker joker 😣🙏 please pleaseee

a/n: SKDNJS I'M FINALLY FREE TO ANSWER MY ASKS 😭 allow me to use this ask to insert some random headcanons of our favorite pookie bear while I work on the other joker fics I got for you 🤩 these are so bad im so sorry

There is something about the Joker that gives "DARRRRRLLINNGGGGG GUESS WHO JUST ESCAPED THE PSYCCHHHH WARDDD"

He would say this to Batman after escaping Arkham for the millionth time

Kicks feet and giggles 

Someone please sedate me

I know damn well they had to put a muzzle on this man in Arkham because he bit someone for talking bad about Batman 

It was Killer Croc 💀

I think this man loves sprinkles for some reason -- specifically rainbow sprinkles 

Like he needs it on his ice cream or else he won't eat it

Like he would rob a store at gunpoint for rainbow sprinkles

 And then go, “Oh nooo, I hope a big, bad, Bat doesn’t come and stop me” type shit 😭

Speaking of ice cream, I wholeheartedly believe Joker is lactose intolerant

Does he care?

Not in the slightest

He is guzzling milk, cheese, and ice cream at all times

He went to extensive lengths to smuggle in a picture of Batman into his cell in Arkham, but don’t ask him how he did it 

You don't wanna know

He has a tattoo on his lower back a tramp stamp of the bat symbol

WAIT SO IF JAVIER'S BDAY IS TODAY THEN WHEN IS LLOYD'S??

i don't think lloyd frontera's birthday has been officially confirmed yet, at least as far as i know! we actually got to find out javier's birthday because someone asked the author, and the author's response got posted, so hopefully someone can ask again about lloyd's!

the only two birthdays that are confirmed (to my knowledge) are suho's which is february 22nd, and javier's which is today, january 26th! though if i'm wrong please do correct me lol

[wouldgaysexfixthem]

which poll has had your favorite response so far? im biased, but the consternation in the black sails one had me chortling

i haven’t watched this show but, considering i could only find like 3 photos of them, i was not expecting there to be such a passionate response about the history between rupert giles & ethan rayne from buffy the vampire slayer 😭 like who are those old men and what on earth did they do to each other

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot is how Jowd and Yomiel are parallel to each other. They’re both so stuck in worldviews that are blatantly wrong- Jowd thinking everything is his fault, and Yomiel thinking everything is the fault of everyone BUT him. To an outside observer, both these views are totally stupid, but the two of them feel like they HAVE to believe it or else everything they’re doing will be for nothing. If jowd is wrong, that means kamila did it, and he can’t let himself believe his kid could do that, it would destroy him. He’s so willing to take on the guilt because he feels responsible for not stopping the tragedy- even when it was literally impossible for him to foresee or stop. If Yomiel is wrong, then it means that literally everything he’s been doing since dying is useless and he’s the one responsible for the deaths of both Sissels, and he can’t believe that or he’ll sink even further down. So the two of them both push on, warping the truth until it suits their narratives, both of which are steeped in self-hatred. It’s a good thing they never met up before their respective character developments- like Yomiel said, Jowd would have loved to be executed by his own daughter. Sorry for talking so much I just think they’re fascinating!!! I love ghost trick!!!

No need to apologize, I love hearing other people's Ghost Trick takes/analysis! Especially along these lines!

This specific parallel is def one I've thought about too, and you put it very well! For me, it all comes back to the set of questions I posed in this post as being at the core of Ghost Trick's story:

1. When something terrible happens to you, what do you do with that trauma? 2. When you do something terrible, when you make a terrible mistake, what do you do with that guilt?

Like you said, Jowd is a person who, in response to both questions, internalizes all the blame; whereas Yomiel, in response to both (pre Chapter 17), externalizes all his hatred. And yes, from an outside perspective they're kind of ridiculous — just look at how many chatters in the secret sleepover society streams (and other lps I've watched) have been reacting to Jowd as a character.

But one of the things fiction arguably exists for is to present characters that take such ideas to such extremes for the sake of exploring those questions and making a greater point; it's the premise "What if there was guy who ___? Wouldn't that be fucked up or what?". And for me (and a lot of people, clearly) Ghost Trick succeeds in getting you to take those characters seriously, because they and the people around them take their own stakes seriously, while ultimately making it clear that their responses were irrational.

...And hey, while I'm here:

Cabanela's answer to the second question is to bury all evidence of it, to Not Think About It, to become (or at least project the image of) a person who would never make that kind of mistake. Meanwhile, his answer to the first question, if we say the terrible thing in question is his best friend confessing to killing his wife and asking to be executed, is to dedicate himself to trying to undo it, to set things right, everything else in his life be damned.

These answers are "better" than Jowd's and Yomiel's — they certainly cause less extreme collateral damage — but they still aren't ideal. After all, Ghost Trick is a game that highly values the forging/maintaining of bonds with others and being honest/open with them as the key to both parties' success. It's what saves the day in the end. Without Sissel, all Cabanela's efforts to save Jowd and protect Lynne would have amounted to nothing.

No, the person with the "correct" answer is Lynne. She doesn't really have to grapple with the second question (which is maybe my personal biggest disappointment with her character), but her answer to the first question is clear: Become the kind of person who prevents such things from happening to others, or who can be the one to help them when it does. Always believe in people, and in the ability of things to turn out right.

Now, it must be said: the reason she comes to this answer is not because she was born a perfect idealist. It's because, in that worst moment of her life, someone was there to save and then reassure her; to inspire her. Jowd.

It's her truth, but it's not, say, Yomiel's.

But. It's a truth that inspires the rest of the cast (Sissel and Jowd primarily). And, because of her insistence in it, they're able to go back, defy fate, and make it The Truth of the narrative.

(Sissel similarly only has to really deal with the first question because Reasons, and his answer evolves over the course of the game, from "focus on the wrong that was done to you and what you can do to make yourself feel better about it above everything and everyone else" (doesn't that sound familiar?) to be more aligned with Lynne: "use what you learned/gained from that unfortunate occurrence to help others". And Missile is basically on the "right" wavelength the whole time, which is why everyone agrees he's the Bestest Boy.)

I'm always confused in fics when adaine's trauma response in crying/apologizing because that's??? not her response to her parents in canon. show me adaine whose initial response is defensiveness, is screaming at other people before they can accuse her of anything, is hatred and rage, show me angsty adaine who risks destroying relationships with others because everything needs to be answered with shouting because that's how she was raised and she cannot admit to mistakes because she'll be punished for them (she won't, but she thinks she will)

nonny, i am writing a fic centered on this premise. with luck, you won't be disappointed

Roronoa Kuina had killed her father. And she had lost her entire family.

Her mother refused to speak to her, too blinded by grief to to see her daughter feeling the same way.

Her younger brother--a late addition to the family, not even in double didgets--didn't quite understand what was going on. Still, he was his mother's son and decided that "if mama isn't talking to you, neither am I". It hurt more than he would ever know.

Her older brother only gave her sad, forlorn looks. He was mourning their father as well as his own dream.

To an extent, the whole family knew this day would come, their father included.

Their father had sat Kuina and her brother down one day. He had poured them both drinks, and though Kuina wasn't old enough, she had accepted.

Zoro explained to his children that they would one day kill him. Said he wouldn't accept his death any other way; he would be proud no matter who was to take his life. Even then, nither sibling missed how his eyes lingered on Kuina.

Rorona Kuina thinks she has lost her whole family. But as her brother pulls her into a hug, whispering a small "I'm proud of you," (as guilty as she feels) she can't help but think things might just work out.

-♡♡ lots of love

P.S. this is the same person as Snail's anon :)

OMG HI LOVELY !!!! you and your ideas are iconic btw.

This is perfect. I love Roronoa family angst.

The older brother detail is perfect, and if I’m correct the insinuation is that he believed he would be the one to defeat their father, so I offer you…

Imagine Kuina’s older brother seeing how Zoro subconsciously pushes Kuina to be better, to prove what her namesake could not. Would the brother be angry, not for himself, but for his little sister?—he decides his dream is to save Kuina the trauma of murdering their father.

And he fails. Kuina was always better than him. Always too fast for him.

So he pulls her into a tight embrace in the hopes of taking some of the weight off her shoulders. To take the guilt from her even if he has to pry it from her hands.

AND THEN there’s the angst of Kuina at times hating her name. Hating the expectation it brings.

The whole concept is so interesting and I have many many thoughts as well as a whole like thirty chapter fic of tragic girl dad Zoro angst in my head at all times 😩

gilear why do you and your ex wife both have the last name Faeth

We agreed to joint custody of the last name. Better than The alternative which was that I got weekend visitation, meaning I could only have custody of Faeth on Saturdays and Sundays.
