Cozy TV times, ft. the beanbag chairs and another bottle of whisky

"Neil had all the time in the world, and that left a heat in his gut stronger than any whisky could." (the king's men, last sentence of chapter sixteen)

Did you know the word "whisky" occurs 6 times in aftg, 5 of them being in the kings men.

I love how interactions with the strawhats work at this point cause they’ll meet someone who has first interacted with Luffy and their attitude will become, “wow your captain is really insane! It’s gotta be a lot of work being the well-adjusted group of individuals you all must be-“

Only to make direct eye-to-dick contact with Franky while Zoro and Sanji lick the blood off of each other like cats. Chopper and Usopp are cry/screaming while Robin and Brook poke and laugh at some nearby roadkill to past the time.

Jokes on you, they are literally all insane.

You asked for my trust, then marred it with betrayal, wondering why the faith was lost.

i cannot stress enough how important it is to write at your own pace. to give your mind and spirit room to breathe, to process your creativity and allow it to come organically to you. goals and discipline are a good and necessary part of any hobby, especially writing, but so is rest. rest prevents burn out. and if you push yourself until you burn out you will wind up taking even longer to complete projects or meet goals. even if you are already burnt out that's okay. this is your sign to give yourself the grace to take breaks. your story, your muses, your brilliant ideas will be waiting for you to pick them up with proper enthusiasm when you're ready.

cw: fingering, squirting, overstimulation & Choso being needy

Inexperienced!Choso lacks technique but he makes it up with how eager he is. How he doesn't even realize how he's overstimulating you because he just can't get enough of the feeling of your wet cunt rubbing against his palm while his middle and ring finger curl so deep inside of you. Or how he whimpers when you squirt over his wrist because it just became too much.

All he knows is that your cunt looks so beautiful when it's glistening in the dim light of his bedroom and how badly he wants to get a taste of you. Perhaps you'd even pull his hair when his lips suckle on your cute clit before his tongue laps up everything your cunt offers to him.

I have just realized the implications of Ford canonically sampling *human* blood (and don't give me that "oh he licked his own wounds" bullshit, we all know tasting your own blood would not be embarrassing enough to cross out and lie about it.)

So. Either Ford *stole* blood from a hospital or blood drive at some point, Bill brought him some blood to sample and he just never questioned it, or he got *particularly* freaky with someone.

And considering he has *ONE* human friend-

SHERLOCK | Martin Freeman as John Watson

ALSO something I put on the yj server but I want to share, I’ve never really understood why it’s so upsetting to people that Bernard isn’t upset about Tim not telling him he’s Robin. Like I get it theoretically, they think it makes them boring, but I can’t see it that way. Because being a hero—being Robin—is so important to Tim, and it’s such a huge part of who he is (he doesn’t really know who he is outside of Robin) that isn’t it kinda amazing he found someone who understands that? I think it’s telling, actually, that Bernard still loves and trusts Tim wholeheartedly despite knowing he’s keeping that secret. Because he understands that yeah, sometimes the city has to come first, and yeah, it’s dangerous. He gets that better than any other civilian because he’s already had fucked up things happen to him because Tim is Robin even BEFORE they were together (Darla coming back and using him to find Tim, for example) and he’s been through enough to understand the severity of it. And he also knows Tim doesn’t want to leave him when he has to do Robin Things, but they both understand that there isn’t a choice. THATS SO INSANE TO ME because Tim found someone who understands it’s an obligation, not necessarily a choice. Tim can’t look away when people are getting hurt, and Bernard doesn’t even consider it an option. LIKE DAMN LET THE TWO LOSERS UNDERSTAND AND CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER god forbid Bernard trusts, respects, and understands his boyfriend 😭😭😭

Courage is not the absence of fear but the determination to move forward despite it, lighting the way through the unknown.

Thinking about parallels between Ying Long and Bing Yi and ZYZ and ZYC again (as you do), and it struck me that it seems that highly cultivated demons have a soul - YL calls it 神识 (divine consciousness), ZYC calls it 元神 (spirit) -  which is separate from their 内丹 (inner core).

Both BY and ZYC managed to extract a shred of it from their demonic companions before their ultimate sacrifice.

The difference is, BY abandoned the piece of YL's soul out of sorrow and guilt, while ZYC went hunting high and low to find ZYZ's.

Little details in fanfiction that I always appreciate when authors add (shout out to One Piece authors!)

Feel free to add more in the comments/reblog! Will be updating!

1. Usopp having a different hair texture/wearing protective styles.

2. Different languages. The different seas have all different languages with dialects from specific islands (bonus points for Zoro’s island teaching him a Wano language while he also knows Eastern).

3. The crews hands being calloused. Sanji, Zoro, Franky, Usopp, and Nami would naturally have callouses from doing their interests. Luffy, Robin, Jimbei would have them from the various hard lives that they’ve led.

4. The crew having scars. Zoro’s arms would have cuts from learning how to properly swing a sword, Sanji’s would similarly be from learning how to use different knives, Luffy’s never carried if he gets a little torn up and he lived in the woods…he’s gotta have a ton of little scratches here and there, etc.

5. Brook knowing about older things when he was alive OR

6. Giving him a backstory before he joined the Rumbar Pirates.

7. Robin knowing sign language. With her fruit it would be perfect.

8. Nami and Usopp sending letters to Vivi and Kaya. (Really just any of the crewmates keeping their loved ones consistently updated).

9. Usopp having depression or a diagnosed anxiety disorder.

10. Trauma or PTSD. Come on…they all would have their ‘little things’ (Zoro sleeping by the stairs ‘just in case’, Sanji having some kind of eating problem, Luffy having nightmares about Marineford, etc.)

11. Goth family.

12. Zoro and Luffy having a thing. Maybe it’s not them dating specifically, but everyone else in the stories just being like, “but it’s Zoro and Luffy…it’s different between Zoro and Luffy”

13. The crew talking about their dead loved ones (I especially love when Nami, Usopp, and Sanji talk about their moms).

14. Creating an interesting backstory behind Zoro’s missing parents AND

15. Creating a truly hilarious three stooges-esque situation for Zoro’s scared up eye during the time skip.

16. Robin runs a book club/tea time with Sanji and Brook.

17. Sanji knows how to walk/run/fight in heels.

18. Chopper wants to hold his crewmates hands while they walk (or full on get carried by them).

New Additions:

19. Sanji doing all the cleaning and laundry.

*20. Chopper and Sanji being nutritional powerhouses!

*21. Zoro taking naps because he does the night shift protecting his crew.

*22. Sanji having insomnia or some kind of sleep issue.

*23. Luffy being super physically affectionate with his crewmate (hanging off of them, cuddling at bedtime, zero personal space, etc.)

*24. Nami being good with kids.

25. Sanji having Steel-toed boots.

*Numbers 20-24 are brought to you by @c0ckonfettii thanks so much! Lovely suggestions!

Being mean makes you ugly, no matter how pretty you think you are.

Jesus will not love you if your a misogynist because he loves his mother very much. You will go to hell for this blasphemy. Jesus did not die on the cross for you to fuck a puppet and also be misogynistic. GOD KNOWS ALL AND YOUR SINS ARE PLENTIFUL.✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️

Repent and go to therapy for the women hating thing. then you will be forgiven.

Mary's last words in the Bible are "Do Whatever He Tells You." She is present many times afterwards throughout Jesus's life and death, but she never says another word. Nothing of note, anyways. Nothing worth being recorded. She was refering to her son when she said this, saying simply that he is to have whatever he wishes. And then she never spoke again. I wonder if Jesus ever asked his mother for advice? I cannot imagine he would. What advice could one give who only knows how to do whatever God asks and never question it? They cannot give the advice themselves or impart knowledge from their own hollow, obedient minds. I despise a puppet who never cuts their strings. I hated looking at her plastic, dummy smile. My father was able to puppeteer her without moving from his permanent spot in front of the television. His voice coming from her mouth without moving his permanently scowling lips. A masterful ventrilloquist. Mary gave up her life the second an angel asked her. Did she have dreams before being asked to be the vessel of God? Did she know to resent the child that took them from her? I wish she would just confess how viscerally she must despise me. I want to shatter her perfectly painted mask. Maybe if she screamed in rage I would know what her real voice sounds like. Did Mary curse God when he killed her son? I don't think so. I think she cried passive and obedient tears. The perfect picture of a mother in mourning. I wonder if a guilty, selfish part of her was relieved to be Mary again, not Mary the Mother of God. Who knows. If you asked her what it was she really wanted, her painted smile and dummy teeth would clack open and shut and open and shut. "I want the same thing you should want, honey," you would hear the Voice of God. "To do whatever He tells you."

And I, (I, I) I have been programmed to obey

But now (now, now) you are my handler

And I, (I, I) I will execute your demands

My mind (mind, mind) was lost in translation

And my heart (heart, heart) has become a cold and impassive machine
