i literally cannot with this scene. i decided to count how many times there’s a steddie glance/eye/contact and i just cannot believe what a fucking gold mine it is. first up: double side glance from eddie
(please excuse my own shitty gifs) then we have mirrored full head turn:
next up: (my personal fave) is we noticed eddie’s hand on steve’s shoulder AFTER the moment was over but I have just realised that eddie’s hand was ALREADY there before they were celebrating the “hi” -> you may need to look closely here but trust, eddie’s hand does not move from steve’s shoulder this entire duration. and then we have steve touching eddie’s shoulder for a moment - which means their arms are definitely overlapping/there’s mutual contact- ITS THE LITTLE THINGS OKAY ??
just gonna drop this much better quality gif (from @jeysuso) here as well for the moment eddie & steve both realise his hand is still there and eddie immediately becomes self conscious and doesn’t touch him again lol.
and then of course we have this moment where they’re being dustin’s dad’s but then eddie is also just gawking and the way the scene cuts between their two lines looks like there was definitely a take where they were looking at each other the whole time lmao and basically i’m really mentally unwell okay you guys. i’m just. they are down bad. this whole scene (including robin and nancy)…? is just a fruit salad.
DUDESS, TODAY WAS MY FIRST TIME CHECKING MY TUMBLR INBOX AND I SAW THAT I HAVE 81 FOLLOWERS, THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH FOR 81 FOLLOWERS, I LOVE YA, LET'S FUCKING GOOO CHAAATTT
I feel sometimes like a dinosaur 🦕, bc i come from the time period where i was used to ship based on vibes and read queer coded in every blinks.
Very grateful we moved on to explicit ships and even pairs but i sometimes miss the levity to be able to multiship or crosship characters based on vibes and finding other fans for it.
Feel free to let me know for what shows you would have loved to do alternative pairings (any gender mixes). I loved only friends but wish there was even more mess and hungry for the fanfics that got generated.
Also would love to see more less predictable dynamics even for established pairs like earthmix, eg. would love to see mix as the top and more dominant one in the relationship, we got hints for his capacity for playing a manipulative seducer babe in only friends last episode and i was left hungry for it.
On another note, nothing makes me more sad when characters are nerfed down for the sake of amplifying a kink dynamic (eg weakening the "bottom" personality).
Hell mix x gun would be interesting 👀👀 and hopefully have a high budget wardrobe.
On a thai gl side, there is quite a bit of tomboy women in the culture and I would love to see it represented! Sad but amusing that china actually used to have more f butch rep in asia.
A "stud" x "stud" gl with a "femme" x "femme" bl when xD
I still haven't updated my game since the expansion. Am waiting for some mods to update (mainly Wonderful Whims, for the pose stuff because I am useless at using TOOL). I am so excited to see the new game content but am going to wait until updates and remedial patches for a bit... Is it safe yet?...
Niara is tiny, especially compared to Law and even more so to other One Piece characters. She's 163 cm "tall" (I wouldn't call it tall in OP though)
She comes from a large marine family. She is currently not on good terms with anyone. Her sister is Blackcage Hina btw.
Niara never reached the full potential of her devil fruit (which she didn't eat by choice) until after Marineford, when she came to fight for Ace's life but couldn't protect him (or herself).
Niara was a marine cadet and pretty unhappy when she ran into Ace. He invited her to join his crew and she became a member of the Spade Pirates but eventually, when the crew came across the island where her mother's family lived, she decided to not join the rest of them when they went after Whitebeard but to stay with her grandparents a bit to get to know them. She always had the intention to return to the crew at a later point but obviously that never was destined to happen.
Niara and Ace were besties during her time with the Spade Pirates and her deciding to stay behind for a while hit him hard. They saw other again in Marineford but Niara didn't even get close to him and got knocked out (and was taken on the Polar Tang along with Luffy since Ace had made it known that this was someone he cared about).
During the start of her journey with the Spade Pirates, Niara kind of had a crush on Ace but nothing ever came of it. He never knew about it either, nor did he ever developed romantic feelings for her. Eventually they developed a sibling-like relationship. (And, in an Ace-lives-AU, still have that kind of a relationship to this day)
I guess Niara has a type of dark-haired tattooed pirate captains? She crushed on Law hard but Niara being Niara never said anything but instead was being very awkward and was either avoiding him or talking way too much. (she always talks way too much when she feels awkward)
Niara gets drunk pretty easily. That's when she ended up confessing to Law that she liked him. After that, she started to avoid him again. He didn't know what to make of her first - she was cute but couldn't hold a conversation... (Eventually they sorted it out!)
If we keep this "in universe" with my other OCs, Niara also knows Ginny from the Spade Pirates but they don't like each other that much. Niara blames Ginny for selling them out.
She has beautiful handwriting and writes the ship chronicles for the Strawhat Pirates.
