ngl the fact that Aaron has a history of writing heinous shit in regards to native/native coded characters, the fact the interview says "this book is meant to guide us through the various exotic cultures and wondrous locales of the deep sea kingdoms in a way we've never seen before" makes me worry.

[fellhellion]

it feels like im reading against the intended tone of the relationship and character but god. if you take dana’s actions purely at face value the kind of person it paints is like. One I have a lot of complicated feelings about.

She had been waiting patiently for Simon and Johnny to return, she found herself pacing between the kitchen and the med bay anxiously. She was never able to sleep after they left. Unsure if it would be the last time she ever saw them. After the tense conversation between her and Simon was interrupted she was reeling. How could she have been so stupid? The signs had been there all along and she was too ignorant to see it. Simon had only known pain in his life, in his experience being alone was better than watching everyone you love get killed in your name. 

If he reamiend alone then nobody would ever be in danger again. Simon viewed himself like a grim reaper, whoever he cared about would be delivered to death. He had been trying so hard to save her that she truly thought it was over, that he never cared. In reality he was willing to hurt himself to keep her safe from whatever perceived danger he needed to protect her from. Now that she knew, she would never let him go again. She was going to show him that it was okay to love someone, okay to let someone in. He could be taken care of for once. She was going to spend the rest of her life trying to prove to Simon Riley that he was worthy of love, as long as he would have her. 

She takes a seat at the table, her leg shaking. She knew that Simon was more than capable of taking care of himself, he was surrounded with Alejandro’s men along with Shawdow Company, he would be okay. She continuously repeats the phrase in her mind in an attempt to calm herself. He’ll be okay. He’ll be okay. He’ll be okay. 

She looks up after hearing a scream and stands to her feet. Her blood runs cold as the sound of gun shots ring out from the entrance. She hurries to the corner of the med bay and hides in one of the supply closets, managing to snag a scalpel on the way. Her heart beats rapidly vigriosuly as the sounds get closer to her location. She holds her breath and clecnhes the scalpel in her hand. 

“Miss y/l/n are you here?” a familiar voice calls “its Graves!”

She slowly steps out of the closet, earning his gaze instantly. Her heart drops as she spots the gun in his hand, pointed straight at her. “There you are sweetheart, been looking everywhere for you”

“What the fuck are you doing?” she deamnds 

“Taking what’s mine” 

“You can’t do this!” 

“It’s too late, we already have” he smirks “come here” he orders 

“No”

“I won’t ask you again” he snaps 

She moves closer to him, hiding the scalpel. He grips onto her arm and pulls her close “sorry about your boyfriends, had to cut em down, you know loose ends and all” he smirks 

“You fucking bastard!” she screams as she stabs the scaple into his neck. 

He curses and drops her arm as he chokes in surprise. She sprints away from him, looking for anyway out. Before she could make it ten feet she is slammed in the head with the butt of a gun, and falls to the ground, her head bleeding profusly. She looks up to see Graves pull the scalpel out of his neck. He bends down to her level and touches her head, she grits her teeth in pain as she looks up at him. 

“That looks like it hurts sweetheart” 

“Fuck you”

“You’re gonna regret that” he warns before hitting her in the head again, her vision instantly going black.

Fancy seeing you here😳 (in the COD simping club)

I was thinking(horrible desicion but hear me out)

(maskedFem!reader with Simon Ghost Riley, sort of a 'enemies to lovers' but not really cause they are platonics that love-hate each other and they do get along just with a larger vocabulary.

BUt Ghost is kind of swooning over her? a wee bit?(respectfully, in the corner of the room with his arms crossed,silently and lethally tho)

With cero awareness of his feelings, how he enjoys speaking with her and finds her precense borderline rehabilitating, perhaps he thinks his amazement is normal cause she's once in a lifetime of a unit and; she's also a woman and he almost forgets they exist sometimes so he's just a bit taken back, perhaps his brain rebooting the info. That makes sense.

But it's been almost a year so why is her voice such a melody still? Why does he seem to search for her eyes during sunny days the most searching for the color of them? He's too attentive with her, always getting sucked into the banter far easier than he should when she's involved in it. Can he even blame it on men's hormones when he barely feels anything, much less in that department? Do the rest of the 141 feel that too? Should he feel bothered or at ease?

Like some juicy slowburn 😈. During a mission they're bantering about Gaz being bitchless or her drinking coffee with enough sugar to send Price into cardiac arrest, and she's ambushed out of nowhere on her sniping point, taken for interrogation swiftly after being knocked out.

Angsty sht of her informing the ordeal before never responding to her callsign again, Soap mumbling a curse and Ghost entering autopilot to prioritize efficiency and the guys are a bit amazed by how swift he was wiping out everyone on sight.(Jhon Wick looking ass)

Finding her on a table with her hands and arms tightly bound and being held still by two men as another one had already used a scaple to cut through the middle of her torso almost like he intended to perform a surgery on her whilst she was conscious and aware. Simon shooting the two men right between the eyes but for some reason shooting the guy with the scaple on both of his legs and planting a knife on his eye whilst Soap cuts the rope, she barely gets a word out when Simon cradles her shoulders with one hand, his touch careful. And his voice a lot more soft than he anticipated it to be."Are you alright?"

Evac comes, she gets stitched back together at the hospital and needs to rest till it heals over, everyone cheers and hugs, and Ghost comes to acknowledge his feelings(as much as he can) when he closes the door of his bedroom and the emotions finally hit him, autopilot is turned off and he stares at a wall for almost an hour.

She becomes subject of his nightmares for a little while, he's outside clearing his head when she walks in with insomnia, he's troubled by the relief of the sight of her alive and his solitude being interrupted by the cause of his troubles, nevertheless she's still a welcomed sight, always a welcomed sight. "Oh, fancy seeing you here" "Shouldn't you be resting" "You need the beauty sleep more than me tho, Lt." "*Scoffs*" ..... "Wanna see it?(the scar)" "I knew you were a man(your dickl?)" "Is that why you've been up my ass all the time?" .... "Alright show me" she lifts her sweater up, a barely closed scar from bellow her ribs to bellow her belly button, he doesn't mean to but he flinches at the sight, tensed shoulders and furrowed brows the sleep deprivation has him in less control than usual and she notices. Still, he's fine cause he's Ghost and casually comments "It's healing rather quickly" he looks away unable to stand the memory of it just yet, she pulls it back down leaning her elbows over the window, just two feet away from each other. She takes the thin black mask off from around her ears letting the cold night hit her face properly, he looks away instantly. "It's fine, nothing you haven't seen" he very reluctantly glances back "So, they said y'all only found me in record time cause of you Lt." she glances at him and he glances out of the window, if he looks at her now he's afraid he won't be able to look away, "Just didn't want you spilling your guts to em" she snorts and her small laugh fills the silence of the night, perhaps the one in his heart aswell

"Your savior privileges have been revoked" "Too soon?" "....Just in time Ghost" she tilts her head to look at him, he makes the mistake of staring back out of reflex and thank fucking god for the balaclava he's wearing, he keeps his eyes from widening this time, but not from softening,cautiously mapping her face with her explicit permission trying so fucking hard to not make it obvious "Could convince me im the one with the skull balaclava with how avoidant you are" "Who knows maybe you scare more without the mask" she yawns and into her palm eyes getting heavier quickly, he's really fucking trying to unglue his eyes from her, a silence ensues, she looks at him again and "Thank you, Simon" she smiles gratefully, her gaze anchored on his and- isnt she a bit embarrassed to be this outright? He certainly is, his face burns, his heart skips a beat, seems getting flustered does the trick cause he finally rips his eyes from hers she chuckles at his expense and before he can reply she's standing up slipping her mask back on "Sweet dreams lieutenant"

Or

Enemies(frienemies) to lovers(but not really cause Ghost just realizes he's fucked up™) with maskedfem¡reader. Ghost begins to question the nature of his feelings towards her and realizing he's in fact a bit too fond of her. Im not quite good of height differences so if you'll be using height as a factor to describe, can she be atleast as tall as Soap? The whole 'petite' or 'chubby' Isn't my thing at all aswell, i need this woman to be a ball of muscle hitting her chest like a gorilla lmao. That weird drabble i put there is just to give kind of an idea but honestly do whatever you'd like, the way he realizes can be through some jealousy, some kidnapping, her getting drunk and soap putting her on his back or whatever i just wanna see him getting the hibbie jibbies, the toe curler hair twirling disease 💀

Feel free to ignore me i know it can be annoying to get a whole ass fanfic in your asks, have a wonderful day i love your writing💕

If anyone is looking for that whole ass fic this anon sent me then here it is, a fucking masterpiece I tell you <333

Like I can definitely see an enemies to friends to lovers situation with Ghost and of course there's gonna be jealousy because what better way than to push someone's buttons with tension??

The Dance of Steel and Shadows

Summary:

Captain Kairi is the user of the devil fruit the blink blink fruit and has found herself on Trafalgar Law's list of pirates to steal their heart from for him to be granted the rank of warlord of the sea.

This is a Law x OC

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5

*Word count: 1371*

Captain Kairi led the pirate crew the Echoing Phantoms from the island of Mu Echo Isles. Kairi and her crew don't chase riches or the legendary one-piece but rather their treasure is the stolen history of their island. Heirlooms that were taken from her island that rot in museums and homes of nobles who spread fabricated tales of the tragic extinction of her people.

Due to Kairi's undesired for riches and power her efforts as a pirate are often overlooked and underestimated which only granted this crew a bounty of 15 million berries placed on only the captain's head which is a small price compared to the other fearsome pirates who roam the grand line. But whispers were often fickle things, easily swayed by gold and ignorance. The truth, buried beneath the surface like a forgotten heirloom, was far more intriguing.

Kairi and her all-female crew of 20 had docked on an island where their next heist would take place but decided to rest for the night and party at the nearby tavern. Kairi sat at the bar next to her first mate carefully watching her crew mingle with the other patrons of the tavern. As she savored the moment of peace in a smoky tavern, the air crackled with an unseen tension.

Trafalgar Law, the Surgeon of Death sat in the back of the tavern while his crew mingled with the Phantom Pirates. He had known her next target would be this island museum. Law was on his own mission to collect 100 hearts of Pirate captains who roam the Grand Line to earn the rank of warlord with the world government. Once Kairi turned her back to wave the bartender down for another drink Law stood up ready for his attack. His blue room covered the tavern his finger twitched to call his 'scalpel' and aimed toward the unaware captain. 

Law's power pushed through the room toward his target but when the cube of the 'scaple' reached the bar it was filled with a piece of the wooden counter the captain had once sat Kairi had vanished. Her first mate jumped back in surprise seeing the piece of the bar floating in a blue cube and her captain missing. Law's eyes slightly widened in surprise but were short-lived as the fierce captain reappeared above him with her sword aiming downwards toward his chest. 

Law was able to jump out of the way of the blade barely in time as he watched the captain embed her blade into the floor of the tavern. A stunned silence as all eyes landed on the two captains locking eyes. The two crews who roamed the bar reached for their weapons ready for a fight while the patrons fled. 

Kairi pulled her heavy sword out from the ground of the tavern and pointed it threateningly at the Surgeon of Death. "And who are you?" Kairi demanded, her voice as sharp as the blade in her hand sending chills down the onlookers. 

Law refused to answer but rather he smirked as a challenge glinted in his eye before he lunged at the woman but Kairi had vanished. Her Blink-Blink Fruit had given her a power that allowed her to move at a speed where if you blink you may miss it. She reappeared behind him and with a swift kick, sent him stumbling. Law, now angered, swung his sword as he spun around only to meet empty air as Kairi had seemingly teleported again, this time she reappeared from above ready to slash her attacker. With a sly maneuver, Law swapped himself with a nearby chair, leaving Kairi to strike the unyielding wood. 

The two crews had entered their own brawl with swords clashing, and fists pounding. the Phantom Pirates were known for their agility and grace, their movements mimicked practiced dancers but with the strength of warriors.

Law began to push himself off the floor where the chair he shambled himself with once lay. Kairi saw the moment of weakness and was on him like a cat. She kicked his side forcing him to fall to his back before she dug her boot into his chest pinning him to the floor, she held his chin up with her cold sword, "What do you want, Trafalgar Law?" Her cold voice demanded. 

Law laughed, "Oh, so you do know who I am. If you know who I am then surely you know what I am here to do." he smirked as a figure moved in the corner of his eye before twitching his fingers, "Shambles". 

Law's form was replaced by Kairi's first mate who looked up terrifyingly at her captain. Kairi swiftly pulled herself off her mate distracted by the switch as Law took his advantage and sent everything skyward with his "Tact". Chairs and tables now flew in circles above them unforgivingly hitting everything in their path. Law smirked evilly at the chaos as he pulled his sword to his cheek with both hands gearing up his next move. 

Kairi grunted as she dodged out of the way of Law's "Injection Shot", She rolled on the ground as she watched Law make contact with a floating chair causing it to explode. Cursing, Kairi Launched herself up and at Law, their swords clashed and echoed through the tavern drawing the attention of the crews. 

To onlookers, they were a whirlwind of steel, their movement defied comprehension as they both vanished and reappeared using their devil fruit abilities. The two crews slowed their fights to watch their captains go toe-to-toe with someone of equal speed and precision and sight neither crew had witnessed. 

"Your bounty does not reflect your skill, Miss Kairi." Law chuckled as he deflected a blow.

Kairi twisted away from his next swing, "I am not in the same bracket as the victims you collect hearts from!" she yelled as she surged towards him pointing her sword toward his chest, Law sidestepped and grabbed her from behind locking his arms under her and keeping her in place.

"Clearly," he growled in her ear, but before he could overpower her, she slammed her head into his chin allowing her to slip free and fall to the floor, sweeping at his legs, forcing him to jump back. He wiped the blood trickling down his chin, a grim smile playing on his lips.

"So Miss Kairi Why the low bounty, then?" he taunted.

Kairi laughed, "Because I am a Woman!" with a newfound anger she launched herself at him and disappeared before reappearing directly in front of him and digging her sword into his right shoulder. 

She pushed her entire body onto his chest and leaned into his ear, "And it is Captain Kairi." She kicked herself off his chest and pulled her sword out of him causing him to scream holding his bloody shoulder. Law fell to his knees panting which caused the entire bar to fall silent. Law's first mate Bepo was the first to run to his captain's aid but only to be stopped by his icey glare demanding him to stay back.

Kairi stood triumphant, her sword a chilling reminder, "I employ you to leave and not attempt my life again. The only reason you are walking out of this alive is that I have allowed it." she ordered menacingly.

Law snarled but realized he had lost the battle and took down his "room" which caused everything that was once in the air to fall to the ground. Law gestured to his crew who all began to walk out of the back with minimal injuries compared to Kairi's crew. "You are right you are not like the other pirates I am after." he pushed his way up and began to follow his crew out. "Captain Kairi," he spoke once more turning to face her. "I look forward to our next fight." He whips around before disappearing out of the bar.

Kairi's crew stood proudly the all-woman crew had beaten the mostly male crew of the heart pirates. Law words rang through Kairi's ears, this wouldn't be the last time she saw this man but she couldn't help the surge of curiosity and excitement to meet him again.

Immortal Eddie Gluskin x Reader: All For You

(Part One. Might Continue)

Where and how to begin? He adored you, the moment he first saw you. After escaping from the asylum, he made sure to keep his head low and not stay in one place for too long. But that changed when he saw you, and your dull eyes.

You looked so bored of everything, so uninterested. And yet, Eddie knew instantly there was something more to you. He couldn't stop himself from following you, trying to figure out what it is about you that made him find you interesting.

But perhaps he was too interested. His tongue felt heavy, mouth dry. Brain stuffed with cotton and cobwebs. No, no, no, no! His eyes snap open wide, sitting up on the hospital bed expecting to find himself trapped back in that damned facility.

But there weren't any tubes down his throat, he didn't see 'the walrider', no strange voices or visions...hallucinations. The room he was in was dark, cold. Goosebumps form over his arms and legs. Squinting in the darkness, he could feel someone watching him.

It's when his eyes finally adjust to the darkness when he notices you. Standing in the corner of the room, the outline of your features, your eyes... Oh how the way you looked at him, examining him.

"You're awake..."

Walking out from the dark corner, you push a tray with scaples, filled syringes, and other medical tools. Eddie's eyes following your every move, his mouth slightly agape in awe as he took you in. Not paying attention as you listed off his vitals, and other things. He will praise the ground you walk on, never let your feet touch the filthy ground again if you so command him to.

Just keep your eyes on him, no one else. You are the one he's been looking for, his love. His wife, the mother to his children, his darling. Oh so precious darling that could do no wrong. Just don't be a whore, please don't be like those other whores, and he will be yours.

"Darling."

He breathes, his body trembling on the hospital bed, not from the cold but from excitement. And when you stop talking to glare at him, by the damnation of the Walrider, he could finish right then and there.

"Patient seems overwhelmed by something. Heart rate is tachycardia, BP is climbing...Giving beta blockers to slow his heart to normal rhythm, now."

You state with a sigh, wanting to get started sooner than later. But these things happen, at least this lab rat wasn't fighting back for now. Grabbing one of the filled syringes, you firmly grasp Eddie's arm. His eyes widening, body growing rigid as he remembers how he was forcibly pinned down, given injections and tests he didn't consent to. How he begged to be helped, to be saved from that hell.

He pulls away, feeling violently sick to his stomach and cold. Sweat beading across his forehead. You stare at him, placing the syringe down before taking hold of his hand as his breathing becomes ragged. The other rubbing soothing circles into his skin.

"Breathe, it's okay. You're safe here."

As safe as one could be with a Doctor slash Scientist who tests on humans rather than rats or animals. Eddie squeezes your hand, and with a blank expression, you squeezed his back. This was common with your test subjects, at first you never cared if they were terrified or furious, spatting curses.

But you came to realize, you get more flies with honey than with vinegar. Comfort them, and they will trust you more. Seems like you'd have to gain Eddie's trust before you can move forward.

"Rest..."

You say, pulling your gloved hand free as Eddie nodded, yet his blue eyes follow you as you leave, stopping to turn on a small lantern giving the room a soft yellow glow. Eddie lays back down on the hospital bed, pulling the thin sheet up to his chest.

He feels as if he's embarrassed himself in front of you, he wasn't being a man at all. Nightmares and trauma plagues him. And yet, you comforted him. He turns on his side, placing the hand that you held to his lips, feeling your lingering warmth. It calms him, eases him. He drifts off into a dreamless sleep...

Hey it's that phleb facts guy(if I remember right I think I sent asks to this blog)! I'm done with my education! I just need to take my certification exam!

I also saw your post on Phlebotomy in relation to sangarianism. There are good online vendors. Online vendors are especially great for mobility aids and other important supplies. I don't know about venipuncture supplies tho. Do get certified to reduce risk. It is a good job on its own but note good pay is travel or insurance phlebs. I would still go with the typical lancet/scaple poke approach for feeding though. Venipuncture is an easier route but do KNOW what your doing. Day one of class was literally hey heres what happens if you screw up.

Good luck on your exam! And I definitely plan on getting certified, hopefully sometime soon since life is starting to even out a little. And I appreciate the serious note, I hope I havent made light of venipuncture in the past, since it is an option some vamps take for feeding, it can be talked about in the community with some nonchalance, but that has led some people to come at it thinking they dont have to educate themselves. I've had to be pretty stern with a couple of people who were even thinking of using venipuncture as their very first feeding method... I've heard that community colleges tend to be the place to go to take classes, at least in the US, but I'd be curious if there are other really solid sources that professionals use for learning.
