catching fire (who by fire)

sketch for @/TheBlindMartyr (twitter) who won the giveaway organised by @opdoffyzine! Prompt was "Doffy and Cora BOTH catching on fire? (I'm convinced the first time Cora caught ablaze didn't end well.)"

Smth I’d love to see more of is if when ppl talk about Law’s family, they don’t just erase or forget about his actual birth family from the equation. I def understand why a lot of ppl focus on Cora. As someone who loves Cora, I get it, I do. But the fact that his parents are the foundation of why he’s a doctor - why he’s a surgeon?

That’s JUST AS important to remember and factor in as Cora’s involvement in his story.

Cora didn’t just show him love, he also reminded Law of the Love his own family gave him before everything that happened. And I think perhaps the reason he doesn’t speak or often thinks about his blood family is because THAT’S the loss that he holds so closely within him and still hurts when he thinks about it. I think what Cora did also reminded him that by living freely, it brings a type of justice to having lost his family.

[shima-draws]

I’ve mentioned it before but I’m a fucking sucker for unhealthy dependent relationships. There’s just something about them that is so. Chef’s kiss 👌

Anyway I’m still thinking about how Law was so attached to Cora and was so traumatized by his death that he literally devoted thirteen YEARS of his life to revenge killing Doflamingo. Even though all Cora ever wanted was for Law to just be free and live his life happily. And Law spending all his time in a hateful revenge spiral is literally the exact OPPOSITE of what Cora wanted for him. BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE. If the thirteen years of endless devotion to avenging his savior wasn’t enough Law 1. Named his pirate crew the Heart Pirates in honor of Cora, 2. Covered himself in permanent heart-themed tattoos in honor of Cora, and 3. Fashioned his Jolly Roger to be a mockery of Doflamingo’s and ALSO to honor Cora. Homie is a walking memorial for a man he only really knew for six months and again crafted the most intricate plan known to mankind to murder Cora’s killer. Because losing Cora fucked him up THAT much. Because even though Cora set him free, the moment Doflamingo shot him Law was chained to the memory of a man who no longer existed. Law literally fashioned his entire life down to his own appearance after Cora and it makes me so insane. I cannot even imagine what went through his head after Dressrosa I mean how do you move on after a thirteen year grudge is put to rest. What is he supposed to do now. Avenging Cora was literally his entire existence, his entire reason for living for half of his life. He needs therapy probably. If Cora somehow ever did come back to life Law would lose his fucking mind. The dependency is SO unhealthy and I am SO here for it

Imagine Law not being able to sleep well for weeks after Cora-san's death, because Cora-san used his powers to help Law sleep better.

Imagine Law being insomnic after that his entire life :(

[oswaldthatendswald]

A bit of characterization in my fics that I honestly don't think I've used enough for anyone to pick up on is that Cora calls Law "honey" when he's exceptionally worried about him-- which is usually when Law is intensely distressed.

Letting you in on this behind the scenes detail just for fun. No other reason.

If Cora was Stiles' age, wouldn't she have been in his grade before the fire? He knew of Derek and the Hale family but it just seems like Cora was written in last minute.

on this episode of heather versus the teen wolf timeline: cora hale.

here is what the timeline establishes:

all of season 1-3B takes place in 2011.

the hale fire was six years prior to the start of wolf moon. stiles is speaking hyperbolically when he says it was 10 years ago. we know it was six from what derek tells scott in magic bullet.

derek: six years ago, my sister and I were at school, and our house caught fire.

it's established that cora was 11 at the time of the hale fire in 2005. this comes from frayed during her and peter's conversation.

cora:  you've known me for seventeen years! peter: i knew you for eleven, leaving the last six unaccounted for. and i'm not particularly fond of things unaccounted.

she's 17 in visionary.

visionary takes place during the fall 2011 semester of the main pack's junior year.

in comparison to the others:

allison turned 17 in the tell which takes place at the end of january 2011. allison says she was held back due to all the moving around. she's the oldest in their cohort.

lydia turned 17 on march 19th in party guessed during season 2 on the worm moon. we know it was her 17th birthday due to the conversation lydia and natalie have about lorraine's ashes in time of death in season 4 which takes place during the spring semester 2012 of lydia's junior year.

natalie: because she wanted you to do it... when you turned eighteen. don't ask me why. but, since there's only a few weeks 'til that, i suppose now is as good a time as any.

stiles would've turned 17 in april according to his official birthday of april 8th.

scott didn't turn 17 until september as is official birthday is september 16th.

malia turned 17 on november 28th making her the youngest of their cohort.

other odds and ends:

theo was in the fourth grade with stiles and scott making him their age. his birthdate is incorrectly listed as 1998.

jackson was born june 5th so he turned 17 between seasons 2 and 3A.

malia was 9 years old at the time of the car accident that killed her mother and sister which puts it in 2003. 2 years before the hale fire.

now while we can acknowledge the real reasons why cora's timeline is so shaky is because they winged a lot of it but what's the fun in that? here on buckybarness dot tumblr dot com we do teen wolf academia.

now one does wonder how scott, stiles, lydia and isaac didn't know cora but there could be viable reasons for that.

i discovered that the law changed in california in 2000 to raise the kindergarten enrollment age to 5 years old by september 1st. prior to this if a child turned 5 on or before december 2nd they could enroll.

they all would've started kindergarten in 1999.

this might be why scott and malia are in the same school year as lydia and stiles rather than being in the year behind.

if they'd had the foresight they should've had allison turn 18 in season 1 and have her a legitimate full year older than the rest because like she's only 3 months older than lydia so it seems a bit odd she's so embarrassed by turning 17 when she has a birthday so close to lydia and stiles. for someone turning 18 and being a sophomore due to being held back? that'd be embarrassing to someone in the american school system.

now cora could've been born in late 1993 to early-mid 1994. she could've been a grade ahead if she was closer in age to allison than to scott. i do strongly suspect that talia and corrine had overlapping pregnancies and being pregnant at the time is one of the reasons talia coerced corrine into keeping her pregnancy with malia.

the tates could've had malia start school later than the rest because she would've been 4 at the start of the year rather than 5 even if the law at the time allowed it. she just joined the rest as juniors when she returned to society because it made sense to keep her with the friends she'd made and she was 17.

if cora was in the grade above she could've been in middle school while the others were still in elementary school or maybe both malia and cora attended different schools due to zoning.

maybe they were homeschooled.

we'll never really know but it's interesting to think about.

not doing so good but what’s better than a couple cora-sans to soothe the soul

[libras-interactives]

Usually, I'm not one to comment or ask stuff unless it's a reply but god UTDM (and Lackadaisy) has a grip on me rn :'D

So I have two questions, and if they've been already answered feel free to ignore them!

1. It's stated somewhere in the fic that Flynn uses a cane. So does he have it simply for cosmetic reasons or does he actually need it for walking?

2. Do you think that Cora and Rocky would get along (when not taking the whole 'one does illegal stuff while the other is trying to stop illegal stuff from happening' thing into account)? I kinda thought they would because they are similar personality wise (or at least somewhat lol). Both look up to a co-worker/their boss, crave some sort of validation and are rather hyper.

Also, I just wanted to say I love this fic sm <3

This was the first time I tried out an interactive one, and I'm glad I did :] The added characters are lovely (love love the boys wanna give them a hug or smth), and this fic helped me make four characters! I'm hoping to share them along with art in the near future, but don't get your hopes up, my motivation is a creature that I cannot seem to tame lmao

Anyway, sorry if all of this is rambly, I'm not the best at wording my thoughts in a coherent way :']

Hiiii welcome to my fixation, hope it's fueling your's LOL. Pls tag me if you end up drawing them, I love seeing people's OCs that come from this! And thank you for the kind words 🥺😭

1) People think it's just cosmetic, he goes great lengths to make sure no one sees him using it as a mobility aid. I don't think anyone - sans maybe his brother, the MC a few times, and Cerberus once or twice - has seen him use his proper medical cane. His regular snake-head cane is (per @acesandocs cool ass design) is cool and impressive for showing off but doesn't help when he's hurting.

2) In spite of their similarities, Cora would be aghast at the idea of her and Rocky getting along ... He's a criminal! And drifter! And has a suspicious face!

Setting aside their actual jobs, if they were on the same "team" - They'd both be annoying each other, because Cora leans more orderly and logical, and Rocky is more sensitive and artistic. But to everyone on the outside, they both have very similar chaotic energy and thought processes haha. She also came from a much nicer upbringing and has a more rigid way of thinking, so she probably wouldn't emphatize well with Rocky's "quirks". They both share that inclination to like or dislike someone right away, and stick with that initial opinion.

Me just laying in bed chilling the fuck out:

My brain: do you think doffy gets bad insomnia alongside his nightmares.

Me who's an insomniac that also has nightmares due to ptsd: *few seconds of thinking* he fucking would the poor bastard.. and it's not like anyone can convince him to sleep, what the fuck are they gonna do?

My brain: true..we should write about it.

Me: stop with the false motivation man you do this all the time.. not a bad thought.

[loronoazoro]

People love to pigeonhole Corazon as a sweet uwu bean just bc he threw away his life and everything he'd worked for to save a single suffering child but they tend to skate over the fact that he also lit multiple hospitals on fire in the process

[shima-draws]

I briefly considered a roleswap AU where Cora is the one to be enslaved by the Celestial Dragons and get horribly mistreated by them but then I realized it would be over in five minutes bc if Law saw that he would literally burn Mary Geoise to the ground with ZERO hesitation whatsoever

[auxiliarydetective]

Guess what everyone, I'm back! Time to talk about post-canon Cora and her kids again. Whether that be her biological kids or the ones she's babysitting.

Last time I talked about the context (aka where she'd be raising those kids), how the Straw Hats would turn her pregnancy into a game show, and Zoro and Sanji's different reactions to the possibility of being a father. This time, I'll be touching on how the Sanji/Cora/Zoro family would actually work because there's a whole lot of factors feeding into that, and Cora being a babysitter. Prepare for more fluff!

First of all, I mentioned at the end of the last part that there's no way that Cora would have just one kid. There's two reasons for that: First of all, if I remember correctly, multiples have a higher chance of their kids being multiples themselves, and one of her boyfriends just so happens to be a multiple. Second of all, I just see Cora as someone who would have a lot of kids. She loves kids and she would love being a mother. If none of her pregnancies go horribly wrong (which they don't - she's in good hands), she's definitely having a lot of kids. Maybe four? I dunno. Depends on how many of her pregnancies turn out to be multiples. But I could see her having three or maybe four pregnancies.

Anyways, did I call Zoro and Sanji her boyfriends just now? I should've called them her husbands, because they are getting married. I honestly don't know who would propose first but I could totally see both Zoro and Sanji proposing at the same time and then bickering about it. She has two hands for two rings, so why not use them? Cora obviously keeps her family name, but Sanji becomes Roronoa Sanji. He claims it's for practical reasons, but he's actually so soft about getting to show off his relationship like that, and he's the worst offender when it comes to slipping "my (shitty) husband" or "my (lovely) wife" into almost every conversation.

So, finally, we get to talk about the kids and the family structure. The whole deal of the Akaito Clan is that you only get to carry the Akaito name if you're a tailor, so only Cora's kids that actually become tailors carry the Akaito name. So, if Cora and Sanji have a daughter named Sora and she becomes a tailor, she'll be called Akaito Sora. If she doesn't, she'll stay Roronoa Sora. Another important thing about the Akaito Clan is that they have the sewing needle pierced through their left ear - and this continues with Cora's kids! BUT because jewelry is generally so important to Cora as a person and is a huge symbolic thing for her relationship with Zoro and Sanji, this also carries over to their kids. So, the swordfighters of the family get a dangly earring on the left side and the ones who use Sanji's kick-based fighting style get an anklet on the right. Any other body part is free reign and the whole family uses that pretty liberally. Let me tell you, the Akaito-Roronoas love their jewelry. Also, this absolutely applies to any of the kids she babysits.

Speaking of kids she babysits, Reina/Pandora Island is basically just Straw Hat daycare/summer camp. I'm very convinced that most of the Straw Hats would not settle down, and they probably either can't or just don't want to take their kids with them. So, they leave them with the only crewmate that actually has settled down - and that's Cora! Also, she probably talks them into doing just that because she cares a lot for the safety of those kids (especially since they'll inevitably become just as reckless as their parents) and she loves taking care of kids. And just like that, the Akaito-Roronoas and the other Straw Hat kids basically grow up as one family on the island of their auntie Cora and become just as close as the Straw Hats are amongst each other.

And while they're there, they get to learn how to cook, how to swordfight with various swords like a rapier, a katana, a freaking longsword (thanks @supermarine-silvally for the idea, I'll touch on it later) etc, how to fight using only their legs, how to sew, crochet, knit... There's so much they can do! Plus, the island is full of fun plants and animals, and I'm willing to bet one of the Straw Hats or their associates (possibly a certain archaeologist) may have opened up a sort of school too. Straw Hat associates get to come to the island too, of course, and the babysitting service is open to them too. Bringing orphans or abandoned kids that you just happened upon on your travels to the island is also allowed. That place is a child's paradise as long as Cora and the Straw Hats have the say there.

They're giving out last names like candy too. "Oh you wanna learn how to sew? You're an Akaito now." "Hey, you're really interested in history? Oh boy do I have a name for you. You prefer medicine? Well guess what I got!" "You like swordfighting? Would you like to share a name with the World's Greatest Swordsman?" "Don't have a last name? Don't like your last name? How would you like to have the name of the King of the Pirates?" Sometimes they invent last names too, sort of like how the Marines give out epithets but they're good traits and are a sign of respect and love.

Currently drawing a blank on anything more to touch on (if you have any questions or thoughts please let me know!) and I don't have any set ideas for any kids right now, so... time to talk about something that @supermarine-silvally and I talked about, and that's the topic of what happens to Mihawk after Zoro beats him:

I say he moves in on Reina/Pandora Island! Well... sort of. He does live there, apparently, but he's more of an island cryptid. Sometimes he's just chilling on the island, sometimes he's giving swordfighting lessons, sometimes he tends to one of the gardens, and sometimes he just straight up disappears for a while because his social battery needs to recharge. The kids love him. They go "Look! That's my grandpa Mihawk!" He's also one of the island's main defense mechanisms. Should anyone dare try to attack the island, Mihawk just appears on his little coffin canoe and slices their entire fleet in half. It's not like Zoro couldn't do that, but he's busy travelling around. Sanji could also absolutely destroy those ships and they wouldn't even see him coming or leaving, but he's busy with his restaurant. Cora could do it, but she prefers taking care of the kids and it's a lot easier for Mihawk to do. Also, he needs enrichment every once in a while because even if he is retired, I can't imagine him as someone who could just quit being a swordsman. He also gets the added bonus of tailor-made clothes from Cora herself because we all know he's a fancy one.

That's it! Hope you enjoyed.

Also, pssst, there's a Cora drawing incoming...

Not gonna lie, I'd definitely be tempted to flicker with the fricken no-dreams-lamp until my research associate slams the door with headaches. Poor Numismatrix.

But even more worrisome: I'm the one who loves the neon lights in our lab, because they keep me awake so nicely. Which means that fuck, I'm the F.F. Gebrandt of my team.  😅
