#this amuses me greatly

[cicerfics]

You know what? There are so many reasons I love a demiromantic/demisexual Q. So many reasons why that characterization detail works for me and resonates with me personally.

But also? I am kinda just in it for Q falling in love for the first time when he's in his 30s.

I'm kinda in it for Q having a crush on someone/being horny for someone for the FIRST TIME at the ripe old age of 32, after a lifetime BLISSFULLY free of such nonsense.

He got through his ENTIRE education, including MULTIPLE graduate degrees without even a STIRRING of attraction to anybody. He progressed rapidly in his career because he was not DISTRACTED by such things!

And now? The indignity?? The mortifying ordeal of falling in love??? The humiliation of finding himself HORNY for a fellow human being???

I just like to think about Q contently shaping his life around his work and his cats, never feeling sexual or romantic attraction or WANTING to feel it, comfortably single and content to remain so.

And then Bond enters his life like a wrecking ball.

And six months into their friendship, Q is placidly sipping his cup of tea one morning, thinking about Bond.

And suddenly he freezes and goes, Oh no.

hi I saw your rly cool drawing and I couldn’t help but think of this I’m sorry

You are ten times funner than me and I appreciate this perfection of my work so much

[aduckwithears]

Fun reminder that the two times we see Aziraphale actually perform his magic show; the (book) birthday party, and the West End performance, people almost get shot.

I kinda find it funny seeing Sinister using a big gun (wolverine deep cut #4). I guess Cable isn't the only Nate who likes big guns! LOL

[theriu]

your dad kinda looks like Bruce Willis

I assure you that is a complete accident likely caused by a trick of the angle and pose, but I WILL be telling him someone said this.

ok silly blorbo nonsense time. gable made a couple references to being a parent figure to jonnit and i was like hm this kinda reminds me of baird and ezekiel from librarians! like baird basically raises him in that alternate timeline. but i thought, man that’s so wonky bc ezekiel’s the thief w a very secret heart of gold… idk if that’s jonnit…

k i just lost the train of thought i had thinking about immortals. u can’t even easily map some1 onto jenkins’ immortal role bc we’ve got more than one! i guess the natural instinct would be to make him travis bc he’s a refined grouch? his academics are almost more dref tho.. and no one listens to him… i guess there’s always charlene and judsen. wait was charlene the first guardian?? maybe gable would make a good charlene.. they did make a good quartermaster! bet they saved their receipts lol. i Have been rather thinking them as baird but idk baird’s just the best fighter

anw jonnit would be cassandra :] seeing things other ppl don’t? and then falling over? it’s perfect

WAIT I’M BACK TO DREF AS JENKINS. they’ve both got the estranged evil family member! stupid tiberius dungblood can be our dulaque.

…which brings me to my perhaps silliest idea for this au, (and mind you, if anyone has any idea what i’m saying atp, that i’m only on ep61) flynn as the captain! just imagine like ok. The Librarian dies. and for handwavey reasons the Library doesn’t just hire a new one, and the LITs (or whatever our au equivalents of the cast are) go around pretending they’re just proxies and flynn is still alive and easily EASILY there’s smth in the library for whatever necromancy they want.

(maybe spit as the library??? that’s awful. he’s kind of a narrative tool to give the MCs tasks? he could be a rly unfortunate clippings book?)

i guess that only leaves me with three somewhat concrete castings lol. has anyone done skyjacks x leverage? that’d be a hoot

Conceot:

Baul shouting, "Say hello to my little friend!" before tossing Abbie at an enemy. Chaotic dumbasses, I love them so.

admittedly i dont specialize in moshang so perhaps i am simply not seeing the scholarly discussion on the topic but whenever ive seen the idea of airplane being the guy who wrote the sv world into existence and now Lives There acknowledged in any kind of metaphysical capacity its always either been "airplane by writing the world literally created it" or "airplane was getting prophetic visions beamed to him from another world and he wrote that into a book in his" and tbh neither of these has ever really resonated with me. i dont want to overplay his involvement in the higher powers of the universe, but as a writer myself it kinda rankles to have his creative woes, which are covered in the story and are sort of the backbone of The Entire Setting, dismissed in such a way that would rob him of authorship of his own work. his writing does not innately have some power to make worlds into reality, but it's HIS.

to me he is not a god, not a prophet, just a poor author who has had his most successful work plagiarized by extra-dimensional beings who may or may not be fujoshis

[phoenixwithapencil]

Love that it’s just fandom consensus that Klavier, whenever he gets to relax at home, has a messy bun and glasses that take up like half his face. There’s no evidence to back it beyond ‘yeah that feels like something he’d do’ but everyone’s just rolled with it

Did any of the Strawhat's even go to school?

Chapter 1134 has sparked discussions on the state of the Strawhat's education, so I figured I would do a little analysis on my thoughts on it based on canon.

Luffy- Feral jungle child. Makino probably taught him to read and write, and attempted to teach him manners. Jury is out on whether or not Garp actually taught him anything. Doesn't seem to know much history. Does know beetles, and probably a lot of survival skills, including hunting.

Zoro- Ok this is the real reason why I made this post.

A dōjō (道場, Japanese pronunciation: [doꜜː(d)ʑoː]) is a hall or place for immersive learning, experiential learning, or meditation. This is traditionally in the field of martial arts. The term literally means "place of the Way" in Japanese. -Wikipedia

Isshin Dojo (一心道場, Isshin Dōjō?) is a kenjutsu school, a school of Japanese swordsmanship. Its owner is Koushirou, who is a skilled swordsman and father of the deceased Kuina. It is the place where Zoro trained his Three Sword Style and in the anime is the only dojo Zoro did not take down the sign of. -One Piece Wiki, Emphasis added by me

As a member of the Isshin Dojo Zoro has attended school! Koshiro taught him primarily swordsmanship and meditation, but someone taught him reading, writing, and math and I'm just going to guess it's Koshiro as well. Seems to know a bit of sword-related history, but not much world or local history.

Nami-Stole education books. Not formally educated. Everything was probably taught by Bellemere and the rest was learned on the fly. Probably knows the basics of mainstream world history. Is capable of formulating advanced equations, and has vast sailing, navigation, cartography and weather knowledge. Studied at Weatheria during the timeskip, but it doesn't seem like a formal institution.

Usopp - Orphaned street rat. Unknown who taught him to read, write, and do math. Possibly Banchina before she passed away. Somehow he knows chemistry and engineering? Might have borrowed books from Kaya? Mostly self-taught it seems.

Sanji- Definitely has a formal education, up until he ran away. Noble child who had a variety of tutors. Learned whatever noble children learn plus a variety of fighting techniques and fields of science. Then was taught cooking by Zeff. Boy definitely knows how to do math. Anyone who cooks for a large group of people can at least multiply on the fly, or has a calculator taped to the wall. One Piece appears to use the metric system, so at least he doesn't have to figure out how to quadruple a recipe that originally called for 1 2/3 cups of flour.

Chopper - Professionally taught by Dr. Kureha (and Dr. Hililuk). They are both referred to as Doctors, but it is unknown what sort of medical knowledge is actually needed for that title, or if there is like a degree or anything. Assumably one of them taught him reading, writing, math, and chemistry in addition to medical stuff. Also read all of the books in the Torino Kingdom during the timeskip. According to the wiki, Kureha established an academy during the timeskip.

After establishing a medical academy, she taught and trained at least eighty students who became skilled enough to join the Isshi-20, expanding their members to a hundred under her leadership.

Robin- Got a degree in archaeology at the age of 8. Has all of the reading, writing, and history skills, including dead languages. While she taught herself how to read the poneglyphs, I think it's safe to say that Professor Clover taught her regular history, math, science, reading, and writing. Robin went to school!

Franky - Apprenticeship under the shipwright Tom. His state of education was unknown before meeting Tom at age 10. Should know all of the basic skills (reading, writing, math) in addition to carpentry, and shipbuilding. Tom's Workers is referred to as a shipbuilding company, so I don't think it counts as a school? Knows at least enough medical knowledge to turn himself into a cyborg with scraps from a ghost ship after being runover by a train. And Survive. Somehow.

Brook- APPARENTLY??? Stated that school makes him nostalgic, which implies he attended. Also knows a variety of things usually nobility would, namely various musical instruments and fencing. He also knows sailing, and various other things to be a battle convoy leader and pirate captain. I have questions for this man.

Jinbe - Dojo again, this time the Fish-Man Karate Dojo. Later joined the Neptune Army. So, since a dojo counts as a type of specialized school, he's attended a school as well as had military training! Knows basic historical stuff, especially that pertaining to fishmen and human-fishman relations. Seems to know other basic life skills (reading, writing, math, ect)

So, in conclusion:

Went to school: Zoro, Robin, Brook, Jinbe

Private Tutors: Sanji

Vocational Training under a Professional: Sanji, Chopper. Franky, Nami,

Self Taught with some instruction by a parent or other adult (non-professional): Luffy, Nami, Usopp

Out of the ten members, 4 of them attended a school of some sort and several others had some sort of professional training or supervision of study.

Feel free to add on if I missed anything!
