#ship: red like roses

[akirakirxaa]

C4?

"Please, you have to live, you have to!"

From the Haurch Lives AU since, as you can see, no glowy hole. So uh, yeah he just gets badly injured but he makes it!

[Height Difference Gpose Prompts]

I'm sorry I thought of the angsty one for yours. ;_;

[akirakirxaa]

Ooh, I have a few!

First we have Akira x Haurchefant, which was a doomed ship that never set sail in canon due to The Vault happening so I made an AU for it.

Then we have the canon endgame ship, Akira x G'raha.

I have yet to make a romantic screenshot for Akira x Emet-Selch, which was a temporary ship during ShB, but is the focus of my bad ending AU fic Broken Pieces Shine. So uh, here's some angst instead?

Then we have my first empress of Garlemald, Valeria, who quite obviously has a romance with Solus/Emet. (In my headcanon she was a previous incarnation of the WoL and thus an Azem shard.)

And of course, the ancient OT3 with my Azem, Persephone.

you should reblog this with pics of your oc x canon ships, i wanna see em.

Rose's advice for the Raven- JayRose

Rose (texting Jason): Remember when you sleep with a damaged man that's not daddy issues, that's finding your better half.

Raven (Rachel): The damaged man you have was revived from the dead.

Rose: Yeah and I cut my eye out to prove my worth to my father unaware he was brainwashing me. He's told me a couple things about his history, my better half.

Raven rolled her eyes with a smile.

Rose: Not all of us want a green guy who changes into a cat when asking for-

Beast Boy (Garfield): Hey, hey, hey, Rachel that was meant to be private!

Raven: Garf, it fell into our conversation. Just don't tell Nightwing we know they're... what the hell are you two?

Rose stopped texting to think of the right word then smiled.

Rose: Partners in crime.

Raven (sucking her teeth): Tsk, he's sucking the cool from you.

Beast Boy (mumbling): I kind of like Jason. I won't tell Dick though. He thinks you guys freaking hate each other.

Rose: That's what we want- Rachel shush.

Raven closed her mouth before saying another insult.

Here's my Wolchefant kid OC, Amelie! <3 She's half Elezen, half Auri.

I love the ff community sometimes, like, with my OC post, I still get notes, I have followed like, 100 or so new blogs, I get to see so many pretty characters. I could say, "Hey, show me your elezen!" And get dozens of screenshots on this post.

In fact.

Please show me your elezen, I feel like I never see them.

YALL. LISTEN. THEYRE THE SAME.

AND SO COMPELLING!!!

[akirakirxaa]

Swap Discord's prompt of the day was coffee shop AU, so I made a cute little scene. Don't worry too much about Akira and Persephone existing at once lol.

[akirakirxaa]

I have three ships, each for a different universe. The first, for canon, is Akira x G'raha. They met the way they met in canon, at the tower, and they officially got together after returning to the Crystarium after defeating Hades. G'raha is the kind of person she really needs, someone that is determined to convince her that she's a better person than she believes. They are very good at mutual support, but Akira often becomes overprotective and though it can be frustrating, G'raha understands why and makes sure not to make her feel bad for it.

(My two AU ships under the cut)

Then I have Akira x Haurchefant, for my Haurchefant Lives AU. Haurch, instead of dying, became injured during the Vault severely enough that he had to retire from knighthood early. Shortly after, while he was recovering, Akira confronted him intending to admonish him for taking such a risk, only to end up admitting her feelings for him. He's her biggest supporter always, and it's not long after they begin to date that they move in together, and not long after that that they get married. When she wound up pregnant, Haurch easily moved into a 'stay at home dad' role.

And my current favorite and most self indulgent ship, HythWolEmet, which I am sadly lacking a tumblr-safe pic of all three together. This exists in my Hyth and Hades Stay after EW universe (which still needs a more succinct name). They are basically three extremely traumatized people trying to figure out how to be normal again. (Well, as normal as two ancients and the warrior of light are ever going to be.) They got together a little while after returning from EW; Akira got together with Emet during ShB (up until she had to kill him anyways), but in an 'enemies with benefits' type of situation. What they have now is much more openly emotionally attached, and Hythlodaeus is happy to encourage it. And since this one is complicated and lacking one of all three, here's a collection of favorites for each segment.

WoL/OC Question(s)!

This one goes out to the WoLshippers! Who do you ship your WoL/OC with? An NPC or another WoL/OC? How did they meet, and how long have they been together? What kind of relationship do they have?

Show me your favorite SFW gpose/art of them together!

So my friend has me watching One Piece again which means I am back on my Mihawk brainrot--

Therefore let me introduce you to the list of hobbies I headcannon Mihawk to practice when he's sailing from A to B or taking a bit of time off in his goth castle:

cooking

reading

gardening

embroidery

wood carving

soap making

Extensive and rambly collection of thoughts on all of these under the cut:

Cooking

Reading

My man lives alone, of course he can cook. And he enjoys it. He is the type who technically can eat anything and everything no matter the taste as long as it gives him the nutrition he needs, but ever since he started cooking more regularly he's caught himself getting more picky about the quality and taste of his food. This becomes a problem when his unbidden guests (read: Perona dragging Zoro along) decide to help with the cooking duties... Mihawk has to go through a unexpectedly difficult phase of adapting to liking food that he hasn't made himself exactly fitting to his own taste again.

(Also Zoro on vegetable cutting duty leaves a Mess™. Mihawk makes him scrub the entire kitchen back to his standards after the first time, and while Zoro at first only marginally improves on the not making a mess part, he significantly improves on the cleaning the mess part. [Mihawk's standards for a clean kitchen are exactly as high as Sanji's, a fact which serves Zoro well after his return.])

Gardening

Mihawk enjoys his books. Nothing like a nice evening of quiet reading with a good glass of wine. He reads while travelling too, because lets be honest, there is only so much wistful staring at the horizon he can do and only so many naps he can take while he sails Hitsugibune from one end of the world to the other. At this point he has worked his way halfway through the library of his castle. Which does not stop him from buying new books. He's surprised that it still isn't a commonly known fact about him, with how often he has caused near heart attacks in poor bookshop owners when they are faced with the World's Greatest Swordsman having appeared in their shop to buy a book?? But he supposes it's one of these "no one will ever believe you" kind of situations.

Mihawk also has a lady two islands over from Kuraigana who supplies him with romance novels. She wisely knows not to comment, but he will never forget her wild grin the first time she saw him reaching for a queer novel. The woman seems to pride herself in always having a new queer story available whenever he stops by, and Mihawk has stubbornly decided to pokerface his way through their interactions forever and ever.

The library has significantly grown since Mihawk moved in. It's sorted by genre now. He'll never let Shanks in there so he doesn't have to admit just how much and what kind of romance he's reading.

Embroidery

Roses. Mihawk has an aesthetic and he commits to it 100%. He keeps the most immaculate rose garden Shanks has ever seen, and Shanks has seen plenty of pretty places. At least half the different species of rose bushes are actually gifts from Shanks after he's seen the beginnings of the garden the first time he visited (read: dropped by unannounced) Kuraigana after it became known Mihawk had claimed the island. So now, years later, Mihawk has probably the most extensive collection of rose species in all colours, shapes and sizes in all the seas.

To Zoro's chagrin, the garden is set up like a maze. It's not a big maze. Even the rose bushes Mihawk has allowed to grow tall during his absences barely even reach higher than Mihawk's shoulders. No reasonable person could ever get lost in it. It quickly becomes apparent that Zoro is not a reasonable person.

'Hidden' within the rose 'maze' there are some dedicated patches of ground making up a kitchen garden. Mihawk got tired of doing supply runs every couple weeks, so he grows his own vegetables and herbs (healing purposes included) and even started to grow the spices he prefers.

(To his own annoyance that garden is not able to support feeding three mouths instead of just one, so the supply runs are back to their old frequency until he makes Zoro and Perona spend a week helping him extend the garden. By year two Kuraigana is mostly self-sufficient again. [By year three Mihawk doesn't know what to do with his extra produce anymore so he decides to actually host Shanks' crew for once instead of just Shanks on his lonesome. They are surprisingly respectful of his space, he might even get the utterly insane idea to do this again.])

Wood carving

You have seen his clothes. Everyone has seen his clothes. You know the chances of finding a good, waterproof coat that not just fits perfectly but also exactly reflects your style? They're abysmal. And even if you found the perfect piece of clothing for you, it needs to be properly washed and maintained if you want it to last longer than a storm or two. Also, professional hand embroidery costs a ton of money. So yes, Mihawk made all the little embroidered details himself. At this point he doubts anyone even remembers how his coat looked back when he bought it and before he had time to put a needle to it. Well, anyone who isn't Shanks. Because Mihawk distinctly remembers Shanks staring when he first showed up to a duel with his brand new coat and then staring again after Mihawk was done with it.

Embroidery is more of a winter hobby, when the garden doesn't need him, and he feels the urge to keep his hands moving. For a while he considered teaching Zoro to give him more of a feeling for fine control, but he quickly discarded the idea in favour of helping Perona with her clothes making adventures.

Mihawk never thought or intended for wood carving to become an actual hobby at all. It started out with him finding himself having sailed into a middle of a rather big reef in an attempt to evade social interaction with Vice Admiral Garp after he spotted his ship on the horizon in the early days of Mihawk's Warlord-ship. The reef had plenty rock and coral formations just closely hiding beneath the water surface, interseeded with sand banks that shifted with the tides, which any ship that lays even slightly deeper in the water than Hitsugibune would not be able to navigate. Mihawk relied on his Haki and superior eye-sight to spot all the obstacles and even with all that it was difficult to sail Hitsugibune safely. Then the winds turned on him rather suddenly when he crossed a climate barrier, bringing along heavy cloud cover and fog, and Mihawk decided he needed to make note of the rock formations somehow to not run into them after all as visibility pretty much approached zero. Being not at all talented in map drawing, Mihawk used Kogatana to carve the map into a random scrap of plank instead. It served him well (he sucessfully avoided Garp and there was not a single new scratch on Hitsugibune) and it kind of just became a thing he did. He now has a small collection of carved maps of mostly reefs and other dangerous waters he uses for hiding and evading purposes. And if he carves the occasional bird or other animal when he's bored out at sea, no one needs to know.

Soap making

It's another hobby Mihawk stumbled upon mostly by coincidence. One day during a supply run he got annoyed by how expensive soap is. The next day he had everything he needed to make it for much less money. A week later he had a year's worth supply of soap sorted out. Shanks asks how Mihawk manages to always smell of roses, even when he has been gone from Kuraigana for weeks. Mihawk says nothing while Shanks' crew mercilessly teases their captain for always getting up and close into Hawkeyes' personal space to even know that. They are smart enough to know not to comment on Mihawk allowing Shanks this close in the first place.

so this "coding" you speak of----

[betterthanbatman1]

[akirakirxaa]

Alright. This isn't a question, this is a demand. Reblog with your OC or ship playlists pls, I'm in desperate need of new music.

[local-limebug]
