ship: RHP Adri x Shanks, RHP Adri & Luffy, RHP Adri & Uta source: one piece word count: 1096 cw: shanks is always drunk

This fic idea started with me thinking about the 'grownups are dumb' scene because I'm feeling some type of way about Uta after listening to Ado's album.

And then it turned into a Shanks ship fic >:c Obvs this was back when Luffy and Uta were kids.

Adri had never been a drinker. 

Not for any particular reason (he lied), definitely not because he was the biggest lightweight on the planet (also a lie). 

Twenty years old and a member of the Red Hair Pirates for 2 years, he was well used to the constant revelry that came with being a part of Shanks’ crew. Revelry he was content to only MILDLY participate in. 

That said, he liked to dance. He enjoyed it, and so did the crew. And so sometimes he would deign to exhibit his appropriately passionate cultural dances for their entertainment. 

Alas, Shanks wasn’t the only one who took interest in those particular skills.

Another visit to Foosha Village. 

And SEVERAL rounds of drinks.

As the crew openly debauched themselves, as was the usual routine, Adri stood near the back of the bar, shadowed by two small figures. Luffy on his left, Uta on his right. 

He could sense the air of childish disdain from the two as they watched the crew drinking themselves stupid, though Adri would admit only to himself that it was oddly wholesome. But Luffy and Uta were too young to understand.

Looking from one to the other, Adri playfully wrinkled his nose. “Grownups are pretty dumb, huh?” he said, a small smile tilting his lips. 

“They do this EVERY time,” Luffy grumbled, kicking at the floor. 

Adri chuckled. “Yeah, well, Shanks is just kind of silly like that, isn’t he?”

There was a roar of laughter, unrelated to the spectating happening between the three, and Adri shook his head with an affectionate scoff. 

Suddenly, his attention was requested in the form of Uta pulling at his jacket.

“Hey Adri, I wanna dance,” she asked, somewhere between a request and a demand.

“You wanna dance, huh?” Adri smiled playfully, arching an eyebrow and cocking one of his ears. “Can’t let your dad have all the fun, can you?”

Uta giggled and shook her head.

“Nu-uh. Dance with me! The way Shanks likes!” 

Adri’s brain short-circuited for a moment. He knew exactly what she was requesting, a two-person dance meant for parties like this one. One’s he hadn’t… not done with the Captain before. He felt his cheeks heating up. 

But more importantly, Uta had requested lessons on this particular dance before. And so he sighed and relented, shaking his head with a flustered smile. 

“Alright. Luffy?” Adri turned to the young boy for confirmation.

Luffy was quiet, and Adri couldn’t help but sigh again and roll his eyes good-naturedly.

“Uta’s very good at dancing, Luffy. You’re not scared of her being better than you, are you?”

“No way!” Luffy whined predictably. 

“Mhm, that’s what I though.” Adri nodded before putting his hands on his hips. “Alright now, get in the stance I taught you.”

There was a very clear learning curve to this dance, and the difference in ability between Uta and Luffy was… transparent. 

“No Luffy, you’re supposed to let go when you-” Adri cut himself off with a sigh as the two kiddos stumbled over each other. 

“Luffy, it’s not that hard!” Uta puffed out her cheeks. 

Adorable.

“It’s not!” Luffy retaliated. “I’ve got it, you’re the one messing it up!”

Oh boy.

Bickering ensued and Adri put his hands on his hips once more, shaking his head and blowing his bangs out of his face. 

“Alright, let’s take it from the-”

“And what’s going on over here?”

Adri felt the familiar feeling of his Captain’s arm slung over his shoulder, pulling him close to his side. His face erupted in a blush.

“I’m BUSY, Captain!” he whined, a description of his tone too embarrassingly accurate to refute. 

“Dahaha! Busy huh? Luffy, you’re still hopeless,” Shanks teased, tipsy at the least, but not quite belligerent. “Let Pup and I show you how it’s done.”

“What!?” ‘Squeaked’ was another embarrassingly accurate word for such a response. “You’re just trying to embarrass me in front of the kids, don’t be mean, Captain!”

Shanks claimed that pout like a prize. 

“No no, I’m being serious! Come on, Adri, if I can learn then maybe Luffy can catch on, too,” the Captain insisted, a wide grin on his face.

“I-”

“Yeah! Dance with Shanks, Adri!” Like a cute little bell, Uta's precious voice obliterated any sense of defiance in Adri’s body.

Adri’s gaze alternated between the three, the kids peering at him expectantly and Shanks leaning on him a bit in a clearly insistent manner. 

“AUGH, fine,” Adri grumbled, looking at Shanks in a manner that was like a question of ‘can you even stand up straight?’

“Can you even stand up straight?”

Another one of those stupidly charming Shanks laughs. 

“I’m tipsy, not trashed, Adri. I can manage fine,” Shanks reassured with an equally stupidly charming smile.

All Adri could do was sigh and hold out his hand.

“Fine.”

Shanks fell into step so quickly that it made Adri stumble. 

“Aw, what’s this? You’re supposed to be the dancer and I’m supposed to be the stumbling drunk!” Shanks laughed, giving Adri a playful elbow nudge. 

“Captain, you’re being mean!” 

“Sorry, sorry! Let’s try that again.”

This time it was an equal effort, despite Shanks’ state of inebriation it was like watching a well-rehearsed performance.

Well-rehearsed wouldn’t be a bad description, actually, Adri mulled over how many times they had done this. How long it’d been since he taught his carefree Captain such a basic but noteworthy dance. 

Some of the crew seemed to notice this little moment of Adri’s particular brand of revelry, and a whistle from Yassop ensured the rest did too.

“Don’t let Captain knock you down, Pup!” 

“Oh stop!” Shanks laughed, sticking his tongue out a bit at the teasing. 

But Adri barely heard them. All he could feel was Shanks, every cross and twist and spin. He had never danced with anyone that fit alongside him so well. Shanks was drunk and unsteady, but he didn’t falter, and the rhythm didn’t break. The sound of the crew was so far away, even Luffy and Uta’s presence had blipped off his radar. 

His face felt hot.

He was smiling.

“Alright alright, I’m tagging out!” Shanks laughed, bursting the bubble of intimacy all of a sudden.

“I’m next after the Captain!”

“No, Gab, you’re not!” Adri’s senses came rushing back, leaving him a bit disoriented but still his same usual self, small dog syndrome and all. 

“Then why don’t you dance FOR us, Adri?” Shanks clapped him on shoulder, and Adri’s face went so red he felt dizzy. “I think I need a drink first…!”

[missmungoe]

Shanks x Makino & RHP, because I had to after that last SBS.

“An incorrigible flirt? Ben?”

Her bemusement was met with a shrug, and lifting his drink to his lips, “I keep saying we can’t take him anywhere,” Shanks said. “Yasopp suggested putting him on a leash after that last incident.”

“This being the incident with the princess?” Makino asked, picking up another glass to polish, a glance offered to the subject of their conversation, busy reading the paper further down the counter, his grin jutting around his toothpick, a substitute for his usual cigarette, courtesy of the bump protruding under her apron.

Shanks opened his mouth, before he paused, and, “Wait, did we not tell you about the Vice-Admiral?”

Her brows lifted adorably. “A Vice-Admiral?”

They were all looking at his first mate now, but Ben didn’t look up from his newspaper, only said, “She was amenable.”

“She also threatened to arrest us all the next morning,” Shanks said. “We even offered her breakfast! And to drop her off at the nearest navy base if she needed a lift.”

“Can’t imagine why she’d turn that down,” Makino mused, placing the polished glass back on the shelf, before turning towards him, her hands spread on the counter. “But here I thought you were the resident flirt, Captain. Or at least so I’ve been led to believe. Specifically by you.”

“I use my skills responsibly,” Shanks said, with a grin that cheerfully contradicted that statement, and even twelve years since the first time he’d used it here, was delighted to see that her reaction hadn’t changed, seeing the smile that split her cheeks.

The way her eyes danced said enough about what she believed, but, “I imagine there are a lot of barmaids who’d beg to differ,” Makino said, her arms crossed as she leaned over the counter. “Should I be worried?”

Before he could even open his mouth, a voice called out across her bar, “You’ve got nothing to worry about, Makino!”

“Yeah, Boss doesn’t give ‘em the time of day!”

“Doesn’t stop them from trying, but we’ve got your back!!”

Shanks sighed, but their protectiveness of her honour was, while unnecessary, regrettably endearing. “If my fidelity was ever in question,” he mused.

Her delight lifted her cheeks, but her look was gentle, and there was no teasing in her eyes now as Makino said, “I’ve never doubted it.”

A tender beat passed, their gazes holding over the bar top, a gentler desire than he was often subjected to in the ports they stopped, but while he might have thrived off that kind of attention in his youth, nothing could compare to being desired by a heart like that, wholly and completely.

“They’re not wrong, though,” Shanks said, leaning closer, his thumb brushing the soft underside of her wrist, and heard the soft hitch in her breath, his eyes hooding as he pitched his voice lower, “In terms of flirting, there’s only one girl whose skirts I want to get under.”

Despite her efforts at maintaining a straight face, her demure composure faltered, and, “Charmer,” Makino laughed, her eyes averting from his grin, the particular filthy width she usually saw from a very different angle, usually cradled between her thighs.

He was so close their noses were brushing, but flicking her eyes up to his, “You’ll have to try harder than that if you want to get into these skirts,” Makino quipped, and patting his cheek, withdrew before he could pull her back into a kiss.

His rougher laughter chased her, and he was about to make good on the challenge when, “You two do remember that you’re married, right?” Yasopp asked, having appeared by the counter for a refill.

“No excuse to let my skills get rusty,” Shanks said, as Makino took the tankard to tap it. “Now do you mind? I’m trying to seduce my wife here.”

Pushing the refilled tankard over the counter, “If you need help, maybe you should ask your first mate for advice,” Makino said, and before Shanks could choke out a response, had breezed past them both, a demure look cast over her shoulder that made him wonder just who was seducing who.

Yasopp’s grin said he had a good idea of who had the upper hand, but, “She’s got a point,” he said, with a nod to Ben, still reading the paper. “Don’t know what he tells them, but it always does the trick. Was sure that marine was going to have him arrested for trying. Or just shoot him.”

“I wish I knew what it was,” Lucky sighed. “I might try it next time.”

“Maybe it’s nothing specific,” Limejuice said. “He might just have mad game.”

“But a marine?”

Stopping by the counter where his first mate was sitting, picking up a new glass to polish, “You took my advice, then?” Makino asked.

Flicking the corner of the paper down, Ben smiled. “You were right,” he said. “It works every time.”

The conversation in her bar stopped so abruptly, you could have heard a pin drop.

“Um,” Shanks said, after a stunned beat where they all just stared at her, primly polishing her little glass.

“What?”

haiii! could you do a Magenta x Female Reader fic centered around Magenta cuddling and giving a massage to the reader? maybe the reader's a maid alongside Megenta and is stressed from the Frank's experiments?

~~~~~

~𝕸𝖆𝖌𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖆 x Fem!Reader Headcanons~ (Magenta taking care of the Reader)

I LOVE all of these RHPS requests I've been getting. KEEP 'EM COMIN', DARLINGS

Summary: Magenta treats her lover after a stressful day.

How long it took to write: Around 5 hours

~~~~~

𝔐𝔞𝔤𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔞 stood at your side, while Frank was busy giving a show on his new creation. His singing made Magenta's ears want to bleed. She'd heard his voice every day for the last- how long had it been? How long had she been working under Frank-N-Furter? She had lost all track of time at this point. Her observant eyes drifted to the side, exchanging a bored, unamused glance with you.

𝔐𝔞𝔤𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔞 noticed your deadpan expression, a look she herself often held. Beyond your calm stare lay exhausted eyes, lips that curled down in a permanent frown, and a heart that thundered with the hope that Frank would not call on you to do another one of his ridiculous tasks. Magenta grimaced. She decided she'd check on you straight after Frank dismissed her.

~As stated, Magenta is very observant. She can sense your emotions and see every little change of expression on your face. She sometimes will not help unless you ask her, but other times, she will show up at your side and begin rubbing your shoulders, kissing your neck, and doing other little things to soothe your stress.

~Her hands are soft, and her nails are well-manicured. Her hands feel like silk on your skin. It becomes a nightly routine for her to massage you, and for you to massage her the next night in return. Magenta likes making small talk, listening to you vent, or just sitting in comfortable silence while she massages your sore muscles.

~While she dislikes her role as a maid, taking care of you is different. You aren't a job. You don't demand things. She loves you. She gladly takes care of you when you want to be taken care of. Will happily run a hot bath for you, and a shower afterwards to rinse off. She'll lather your body with soap. Her favorite part of the process is washing your hair. Massaging your scalp to soothe your pulsing headache, running her hands through your wet hair...and occasionally deciding to tease you by purposely poking you in the head with her nails, only giving an amused chuckle when you react with an "ow!".

~When she gets you in bed for your massage, she's sure to use coconut and lavender oil to soothe your skin while she works to loosen your tight muscles. Lipstick kisses are pressed against the back of your neck while she kneads your back and shoulders.

~Afterwards, she's willing to cuddle. While "cuddle sessions" often turn into something more, Magenta spared your sore body, guiding you into her arms, instead. Will coo and baby you until you giggle.

𝔐𝔞𝔤𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔞 pouted playfully at you as you rested your cheek on her chest, looking up at her with sweet grateful eyes. "Awhhh..." She kissed your forehead firmly to make sure a lipstick mark was left behind. Her hand caressed your bare back, which now was soft and smooth from the oils she'd massaged you with. "My sweet girl," Magenta murmured lowly in your ear.

From the TMI tag game ("Send a word, any word, and if it’s in my WIP document I’ll answer your ask with the sentence or line it appears in!")

Right, so, here's my word: anticipation.

(PS please tell us more about Rocky Horror AU?)

Squee! Thank you for the ask!!

The funny thing is that Anticipation has not YET shown up in RHPS fic but, you get a two-fer because it does show up in Father Fell:

Crowley glared at his translucent reflection in the window. His blood was just up with the exhilaration of the battle announcement. Fear, excitement, hope, and anticipation all balled up inside the thundering cavern of his chest, loosening the walls he’d been striving to build around thoughts of… things he should not consider. Dangerous things that could threaten his safety here in Fulking. 

and here's a lil snippet from Rocky Horror anyway:

“Alright now who's ready to take a trip through space and perhaps even time itself?” 

An even bigger reaction, cheering and whistling. God, he fucking loved this feeling. Closest thing to being a rock star he’d ever gotten. 

“Thank you to our lovely Virgins, you’ve been great sports and God I hope Daddy Librarian comes back to punish me some time for being such an awful tease!” Crowley waved them away and Pepper stepped in to guide Aziraphale and Muriel back to their seats.

“Alright Babies, you know the drill: God said what?”

Regulars in the crowd shouted back: “Let there be lips!”

Hi! I'm the one who sugested RHPS! the episode was lovely, and timely for me, as I'm going to a showing this weekend. As such, I wanted to share a few things that happened since I requested the topic:

So I went to see the stage show when it came to my city in August, it was for Sunday matinee which meant it was mostly normies, but it was a sunny late aussie-winter day, I had pretty great seats, and had a lovely time.

In the lead up to the show, I decided to personalise my Dr Frank jacket with more than just stuff from my pin and badge hoard, so I embroidered the lips and the lyrics 'dont dream it, be it' on fabric then stitched it into the Jacket and got a bunch of nice comments from other audience members

I got to the show early, and while was waiting in the foyer near my theater enterence (also near the stage door at the venue). I hear an american man's voice saying 'hi, hello, hi' as he walk. I looked up. It was David Badella was walking past. David Badella is the man who was playing Dr Frank'n'furter, he's one of my favourite theater actors, and is my favourite stage Frank (high key rec the 2015 live RHS if you have a couple hours free, the audiance is electric). I almost combusted from fan joy before the show had even happened.

!! That's so awesome! Your jacket looks amazing; I'm so glad other audience members thought so, too! We totally loved doing the RHPS episode -- thank you again for suggesting it, and thanks for letting us know it was you! We got to learn about a great fandom with the sweetest research ever, and it was a total delight. Have fun at the show this weekend!!!

Sometimes I remember the amount of gaudy kitschy things I got rid of in my teenage years and early 20s, simply because was in the hiding-in-a-black-hoodie phase of my queerness & rejected anything that could be read at feminine.

And now I sit here, in my first proper years of being unapologically queer and I hold that child so gently for feeling like she had to do that, I am so sorry, kiddo - but I am also grabbing her by the shoulders because kID WHY DID YOU HAVE TO THROW AWAY THAT BAG WITH GIANT RED LIPS ON IT??? I KNOW WE WON'T SEE RHPS FOR ANOTHER DECADE BUT COME ON-

FEELING HAT: Lips idea explanation and development

I wanted to begin with the feelings hat, because this topic is something that has a strong emotional value to me as it is a part of my identity. I struggled with this hat at first, because how do you express how something makes you feel without spelling it out. If this was a character animation module, it would feel simple: make the character cry, jump with joy, go red with anger etc. However due to the visual nature of EMG, relying on facial expressions was not an option. This led me to naturally simplifying this idea, into a mouth. Naturally, due to the positivity I associate with the goth sub-culture, a smiling mouth was appropriate. However I needed a way to tie this in with the rest of the clips. I explored different pieces of my identity and aesthetic, mainly looking at the different jewellery pieces that i have and what did they all have in common? They all have an overall Vampire-esque appearance to them. even better, I have a ring that was almost exactly what i was looking for regarding inspiration with this clip.

Vampires have entwined themselves with the gothic culture, due to the similarities in costume, overall aesthetics and themes of the macabre. I also wanted to give a nod towards one of my favourite films, not necessarily a gothic film but a dark comedy [The Rocky Horror Picture Show.] The opening sequence of the show is a pair of bright red lips singing "science fiction double feature", sung by writer of the story Richard O'Brien and lip synced by Patricia Quinn (Magenta)

There is also an iconic poster for The RHPS that features these iconic red lips

This is the initial design of the lips that i came up with, However after sharing my work with the class I received feedback that this was too illustrative due to the details and line art. This was the start of my banishment of lines within this project, instead working with shapes and colours to divide each section.

I went on to tweak the design, simplifying the design and then exploring different colour combinations.

I kept the red of the lips as it is a colour prominent within this sub-culture. I played around with a deep red background however this didn't suit the effect i was going for, i wanted the images to float within the black background so that i could move my animations around on my structure.

same thing with the previous, the red was not successful and also clashed with the tone of the purple.

the grey was the best out of the colour tests as it didn't clash with the rest of the design

trying the red with the black background, looked better as the red didn't clash with the background but still not a strong enough choice.

tried black as black lipstick is almost an iconic symbol of goth culture, however this wasn't a strong enough design to justify choosing it. may not work well with the projections.

I liked this shade of purple, however it just didn't stand out to me. Was more successful on the black background than it was on the white.
