Thinking about how Shanks will keep a list of all the places he wants to take you—how he’ll stand staring at the prettiest view he’s ever seen and wish you were with him, and promise himself that next time he’ll drag you along no matter how much you huff and moan, just because he knows that awed look on your face will put to shame whatever picturesque scene he’s found.

"stop squirming, akagami. and look away. i can feel your leering from here."

"i can't be blamed when i'm offered a view like this."

"eyes forward. keep still. i'll gag you if you cause too much trouble."

"oh? whatever you need, sweetheart."

everyone look at the commission I got of me and shanks from @huyandere 🥺 literally going to be staring at this forever I’m sooooooooo obsessed look at his big ol grin

The number of times I’d get caught trying to subtly check out shanks during our pining stage would be humiliating if he weren’t unabashedly peacocking every time it happened

red-haired pirates vice captain benn beckman had this to say in an exclusive interview: “she's an executive, you bastard— and how the fuck did you know about this? get off my damn ship.”

"she's still asleep, i'm afraid. i mean it's barely been twelve hours— no, no, you're right. i'm sorry, we should have told you— yes, ma'am. sorry, ma'am. we're on our way. we'll do something nice, yeah? can't have the mother of the bride missing out."

Me w shanks during what I’ve deemed the lighthouse era

[petrichorium]

heyo pluvi it's nyla on her main account that is honestly just a side acc at this point gjdfngkjfn but here's a fun thought, imagine you're a big mom pirate and one of her children- what are you mixed with and do yourself pulling a lola and dipping or toughing it out? how do you see yourself somehow running into shanks with this crucial lore change?

Omg………. I will get sooooo self-indulgent and insane w this actually (and likely get walloped w canon in a few days but hey before then we can do what we want) and say perhaps…….. mayhaps……….. an arranged marriage situation………

so likeeeeee i kinda. love the idea of me being an initial attempt at a member of the three-eyed tribe like pudding, bc i need a way to i would love to say im a badass rebel child w my own crew but Alas i think i am. quiet and awkward and nonathletic n mama kinda hates me rip. but she'd have a reason to wanna keep me around despite all that if i have the potential to read poneglyphs and that’d be a role i could play for shanks too yk. and my self-insert is 27 yrs older than pudding which nicely matches up to a potential me running away w shanks when hes like 22 and im like 26!!!

soooooo this all would go down when hes still gathering up his crew yk.......... mama obvi knows him as roger's apprentice but i think he kinda approaches her first to scope out her kids n see if any r worthy/possible to be poached LOLLLLLL and then almost like. out of amusement goes along w the marriage she decides to arrange. it is Not a situation like sanji ftr its a situation like bege, where she intends to have shanks as a subordinate captain through marriage.......

idk i think hes just curious when she proposes it. not exactly concerned—def a bit Overly Confident for a 22 yr old apprentice-turned-rookie potentially going up against an emperor PFFT—but again just like. amused by the situation. and w a piqued interest when he meets me, similarly to selfship canon ig!!!! i think im more timid n less self-assured in this scenario (a combo of being five yrs younger, raised by big mom, and generally the situation being entirely different) and honestly give off the vibe of being a bit uncomfortable around him. i think hes actually rlly put off by the idea of big mom forcing her daughter to marry a pirate even tho im clearly not cool w it; ofc hes not like. surprised i think he knows big mom p well but it Rlly rubs him the wrong way. suddenly hes not so amused anymore.

shanks is a serial princess rescuer in canon, even fifteen yrs earlier i think he's got those instincts already so there's a bit of a white knight instinct that i end up triggering in him. n when we finally get a moment alone (which in my head is a lil nighttime walk back to my room very romantic) he rlly does ask for my feelings and possibly straight-up offer to help me leave n it. pisses me off LMFAOOOOO i might even slap him in the face perhaps just for the audacity of it all bc like bro what!!!! whats the plan here u just wanna piss off an emperor for shits n giggles n a pretty face??? i think i reveal the eye here too, which is ofc considered an Ugly Feature in one piece canon so im intending to shock him out of whatever insanity has overcome him but also is smthn shanks absolutely understands the implications of..........

(he thinks its Very Striking for the record)

I think he does manage to convince me to run off w him before the wedding…….. he’s Very Persistent abt it n by the third or fourth time I’m convinced he has ulterior motives but as it encroaches I kinda come to the conclusion that if I refuse I’ll end up married to him anyway so perhaps better to keep my options open??? So we sneak off the night before w. Largely not a ton of pushback. Maybe shanks has a lil spat w katakuri that’d be fun 🫣 in my head this would be before tottoland is established so it’s a matter of sneaking off the queen mama chanter not. An archipelago yk……… n e way.

We have a lil slowburn after that 🥺 a lot of me swearing up and down I’ll leave at the next island and shanks insisting this isn’t the right one and next thing I know I’ve been w him for five yrs and I’m sleeping in his cabin and we kiss a lot. Actually the fun part abt this au is I’d be around for baby luffy which is very fun to me (tragic that I don’t meet him in selfship canon 💔) maybe he’s the reason we officially get together bc he’s Too Honest LOL idk. But there u go!!!

[petrichorium]

Shanks like never gets jealous he simply isn’t the type esp not when it comes to his crew and their treatment of me BUT the one time he genuinely gets spun up enough that we can all feel his haki building is actually right before our elopement bc Beckman gets me a little cotton sundress to wear just like from a random shop on the island and it flatters me So insanely well and the fit is So perfect that Shanks is immediately like hey Beck? Why do you know her exact measurements and the style that would look best on her like what the fuck’s up w that—

[petrichorium]

Sigh. Modern!photographer shanks I’m afraid

[petrichorium]

Omg was gonna yap abt this last night but. In Shuvi canon I wear my hair long and braided in like v practical updoes during my lighthouse keeper days. Shanks is a bit obsessed w it bc I rarely let it down and so seeing that makes him feel all mushy and domestic…….

When I sail off w the red-haired pirates I end up making Hongo chop it all off bc it’s too much to maintain in my poor mental state (shanks is Inconsolable when it happens but puts on a brave face to not freak me out). Once I start coming out of that I go through a few diff haircuts before settling on a fluffy layered bob kinda thing that Lucky Roux learns how to cut for me 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

[petrichorium]

please tell me all about Shanks favorite places to kiss you hehe :3c

He’s Soooooo loverboy n loves kissing So Much I don’t think he’s picky at all but he def has a few common focuses……….

V much a hand kisser 🥺 I’ve talked abt this but he loves to play up a chivalrous act so. And in a similar vein has this thing where he’ll hold a lock of my hair and kiss it like some lovestruck knight 🫠 smthn he only does more often once I chop off all my hair and he has to get So Close………

He’s also a big leg worshipper I think……. Esp the rlly sensitive spots like the back of my knees n inner thighs. Goes all heart-eyes when I flinch and try to kick him in the head I’m afraid LMFAOOOOOO n def a stomach kisser too that gets a special mention 🫶🏻

All that said tho truthfully I think if he Absolutely Had To Pick One Place Forever he’d pick my lips. I’ve made this comment before but I genuinely think shanks enjoys kissing/making out more than any other act of physical intimacy he’s quite simply obsessed w it so. Very straightforward choice for him. He’s of the opinion that if my lips r not visibly kiss-swollen at all times he is Not doing his job correctly and he Will be rectifying it posthaste thank you.

[petrichorium]

tell us about the first cuddle session with shanks

I think shanks actually falls into the trap of being kinda unused to nonsexual (but explicitly romantic) intimacy,,,,,,, like he’s very touchy w his crew but that’s obviously platonic. In my selfship he and mihawk were a Thing but almost all of the contact between them was Under Pretense Of A Duel so not exactly soft and tender. He has flings often and is very much a sucker for after sex cuddling but that’s obvi got a certain connotation. If he rlly thought it through he’d probably come to the realization that the last time he had real nonsexual skinship w a partner was buggy. Twenty years ago. On the Oro Jackson. Damn.

Anyway. This is actually a bit insane but the first time we cuddle is before we “get together” ig. The first two years after we meet I resolutely refuse his flirtations, but he does steadily wear me down and by the time I do give in he’s very touchy. So it’s probably a couple of months before that??? And it’s actually. Outside my door LMFAOOOOOO

At this point he spends nights on the island either at the bar or on my couch, but I’m a bit stern about not letting him in when he’s too drunk, so half the time he ends up sleeping on my front stoop bc he had one drink too many and I know if I give a drunkard an inch he’ll take a mile yk. So it’s one of those situations, but on this occasion I have to get up in the middle of the night and refuel the light…….. and when I’m done w that as I’m making my way back I kinda. Take pity on him.

He is largely sober when I nudge him awake bc it’s been hours and he’s slept off most of the booze, but he’s also tipsy enough to whine (well, he’d do that anyway) and beg for me to let him in when I tell him to go back to his ship LOL and idk…….. it’s cute……… we’re headed into summer on my island so it’s a pleasant night and the moon’s full so I end up settling w him draped over my lap, absently stroking his hair as we chatter a bit. And I do let him in after an hour or so, we’re just both tired enough that he passes out on my couch and I don’t think much abt it as I head to my bedroom…….. and then I am Very embarrassed in the morning but he’s surprisingly not smug about it, just a bit overly chipper. Like you’d think we actually fucked w how giddy he is LMFAOOOOOOO

[petrichorium]

very important question for my dear pluvi,

which of your faves like to bite vs who loves being bitten? 🎤 and if they do the biting, where do they like to bite you the most? >.> heheh

Omg,,,,,, i tried to sort them but nah it doesn’t work like that lmfaoooo i have a few who refuse to bite me and a few who r more bitey but they all like being bitten i fear. Kuroo is perhaps the one im Least Bitey with tho, i think its mostly love nips between us. Ik u didn’t ask but I tend to go for arms and hands LMFAOOOOOO and necks ofc. I get hella cuteness aggression and end up Biting I fear. Also have been known to bite the base of ring fingers Very Hard pre-marriage to give them a little wedding ring shadow but we don’t have to talk abt that 🫣

Capitano and Tomura r the ones who refuse to bite me bc they both r dead terrified of hurting me i fear, but i think the instinct is there. Esp w Capitano (bc until i am proven otherwise he is a dragon hybrid to me) it’s an active effort to not claim me but i think if he ever drew blood from me he would lock himself in a room for weeks and refuse to let himself anywhere near me so. The biting urge must be suppressed even if i do tell him it’s okay 😭😭😭

Shanks and Gagamaru r def equal opportunity biter/bitees (tho leaning a bit toward preferring I bite them). And theres a double standard wrt intensity w them JFNCKSNF like they r both very gentle w me but want me to just go at them pfft i think Gagamaru is a bit of a stomach biter….. little nips at my navel or love handles. Shanks goes for my legs and Will try to get marks as low as possible and then pout when I wear a longer skirt the following day. These two r def known to goad me into biting them I think, w gagamaru often giving up on any subtlety and just unabashedly begging for it and shanks playing stupid ass mind games which I sometimes play into or sometimes just tell him to ask properly…… and we cannot forget shanks’ favorite joke he loves sauntering into the galley in the morning and loudly saying “wow plu might bite off my other arm!” (Or similar) w marks very visible beneath is way too unbuttoned shirt I hate him so much he should die

And then Jing Yuan and Leona r the ones who give as good as they take 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ Leona’s a bit more variable—I hc him as having a cycle and being largely uninterested in sex outside of his rut (tho when I initiate he doesn’t tend to deny me) so it’s kinda. Nothing and then So Much All At Once I’ll disappear for a week and come out of our suite looking like a chew toy 🫠 v much a boobs man tho so even outside of his rut he’s known to chomp a tiddy and earn himself a swat over the head…….. as for jing yuan I fear he’s a menace of the highest caliber. Like I’m pretty sure he bit me during our first kiss he is Not playing around. Definitely the bitiest of all my men, and definitely the only one that is truly comparable to me pfft sometimes gets a bit competitive abt it even and will literally give exactly what he gets. He’ll bite anywhere he can manage for sure but honestly I think I Always have a mark or two on my neck that I’m always trying to cover up w my shirt collar or makeup…….. was even more prone to toeing the line when we were in our nebulous “fucking and seeing each other but not exactly official” phase bc my flightiness and borderline commitment issues were driving him up the wall. Sometimes even after we’re married he’ll remember and bite down a bit harder 😭😭😭 unhinged behavior. I wonder if he does it just to make me pull his hair harder……..
