P198

「はい、なんですアニキ？」 “What’s up, bro?”

「お前ひとつ、アンジーのところに行ってヤツらを引っぱり出してこい」 “Go over to Anji’s place and drag those guys out here.”

「ええっ！ アニキは行かないんですか？！」驚いたように、ヤム・クーが言った。 “Huh?! Bro, you ain’t comin’ along?” Yam Koo exclaimed, shocked.

「俺は面白いことがありそうな気がするんでここに残る。いいよな、マッシュさん?」 “I’m staying put. Got the feeling something interesting’s gonna go down here. Fine by you, right, Mathiu?”

「構いませんませんが…． ． ． 」不思議そうな顔で、マッシュが言う。 “Certainly,” the tactician replied, his expression bemused.

「ではヤム・クー、お顧いいたします」 “Well then, Yam Koo, we are all counting on you.”

「ちえつ、ほんとにアニキは気まぐれなんだから…」 “Tsk. Yeesh, big bro’s as fickle as the sea…”

ぼやきながらヤム・クーが階段へと姿を消す。 Grumbling, Yam Koo disappeared down the stairs.

そうしている間に皆が集まる。 Everyone else had gathered in the hall in the meantime.

ざわめきを鎮めて、マッシュが軍議を開く。 Mathiu quieted down the crowd and began the war council meeting.

もちろん議題は鉄甲騎馬隊攻略法だ。 The main topic of discussion was, of course, the issue of how to defend themselves against the armored cavalry.

「戦場に落とし穴を掘るってのはどうだい？」にやけながら言ったこそ泥のクリンに、レパントが言い返す。 “What if we dug pitfalls on the battlefield?” threw out the thief Kirin, smirking.

「ガルホースの���躍力はかなりのものだ。穴に落ちたとしてもすぐに跳び出してくるだろう。お前のようなウスノロではないぞ」 “What kind of fool are you?” scoffed Lepant. “The gulhorse posses incredible jumping capabilities. Even if they did fall in the pit, they would just as soon jump out.”

「ガルホースだって動物だ。きっと天敵がいるはずだぞ。 “Gulhorse are animals. There must be a predator that preys on them.” Put in Kuromimi.

それを捕まえてきて放せばいいと思うぞ」今はクロミミだ。 “If we catch that creature, I bet we could unleash them on the gulhorse!”

P199 「それも一理あるが…」クワンダが答える。 “There is some merit to that idea…” Kwanda rumbled.

「ガルホースに関する情報は、テオの部隊の軍事機密だった。 “But all information related to gulhorses is a classified military secret because of Teo’s unit.

たとえ天敵がいたとしても、探るには時間がかかる」 And even if there is a natural predator, it would take us time to track it down.“

「ううむ…」 “Hrmm…”

何しろ相手は鉄甲騎馬隊、今まで誰もかなわなかった部隊なのだ。 Whatever ideas they might have, they were still up against the armored cavalry that no one had ever managed to defeat.

皆が知恵を絞ったところで、効果的な対策など見つかりそうになかった。 They all racked their brains, but couldn’t come up with any plans that seemed feasible.

マッシュを含め、皆が大きくため息をついた時ーー。 Mathiu let out the breath he had been holding in a giant sigh.

「そうだ！！」 広間にひときわ大きな声があがった。 At that very same moment, someone shouted loudly.

“Wait, I’ve got it!”

ティルが顔を上げると、フリックがメンバーを押しのけてティルとマシュの前に歩み出た。 Tir raised his head. Flik pushed aside the other members to stand beside him and Mathiu.

「思い出したよ、あるんだよ！！たったひとつだけ、方法が！！」 “I’ve just remembered! There is one way!”

メンバーがざわめいた。フリックが続ける。 Everyone broke into excited chatter. Flik continued.

「これはまだ、レナンカンプのアジトが帝国軍に襲われる前の話だが…。 “This goes back to Lenankamp, at the hideout, before we were being pursued by the Imperial Army…

���は俺、オデッサに頼まれて、北方の秘密工場に、ある武器の設計図を届けに行ったことがあるんだ」 At Odessa’s request, I had gone to the secret factory in the north to deliver the plans for a certain weapon.”

「武器…」不思議そうにティルが呟いた。 “A weapon?” murmured Tir in wonder.

やはりメンバーを押しのけ、ビクトールが前に歩み出る。 Viktor joined the fray, also pushing past the others to join them.

「武器ってお前、もしかして…」 “Ya don’t mean… that, do you?”

One Piece Crack Ship War - Round 2 Side G

KataSan edit made by @fivedayslater

RoRayShaRou edit made by @naniguini

Propaganda under the cut.

KataSan:

They both have Terrible Family Trauma that they deal with in different ways + insecurities about being seen as monsters + a chef and a food enjoyer = what's not to love. Also I'm convinced Sanji secretly wants to be carried around in a purse like a little dog and Katakuri is the man who could make it happen.

I like to imagine the what if scenario where sanji is arranged to marry katakuri instead of pudding and the shenanigans that would inevitably ensue.

RoRayShaRou: I think it would be cute seeing all of them together raising all the kids they adopted/had in cannon.

Round 2 Poll 8

"Rouge" is French for red

Ianthe means violet in Ancient Greek

[cryingpariah]

Was re-listening to the soundtrack to distract from *today* and this popped into my brain

[killjoy-prince]

So I'm on playthrough #4 of this game playing as Astarion this time around with the intention of romancing Wyll and man, picking all the good and heroic options as Astarion especially in Act 1 really is a case of "He would not fucking say that" bc Wyll likes all the good and heroic options and Astarion is. not that lolol

One thing is by chance I found a workaround on how to not make Wyll a devil and still keep Karlach alive. It worked but now im wondering if making him a devil would of been better narratively? Also I just got used to the horns that I kinda miss them. I do have a save thats right before doing the workaround but I did quite a bit of stuff so is it worth it?

Golden Pt. 2 - Weasley Twins x Reader

Thank you for all the love on part one. I genuinely love this AU and hope you all do too. <3

Other Parts: Part One

Your eyes flickered between the two Weasley boys, refusing to accept that you could have two soulmates - even though they were looking you straight in the face. "This is a joke, right?" you finally ask. "I don't think anyone could pull off a joke like this," Fred spoke, gently placing his palm back to the matching spot on your cheekbone. "Even us," George laughed. "And why would we? No one dreams of half a soulmate." You don't know why, but your heart aches at his words. "I didn't dream of having you as my soulmate, either," you retort, pulling away from both Weasleys. "Is that so, sweetheart?" He takes a step closer, smirking. "Because the rouge of your cheeks says otherwise."

"Back off her, George," Fred commands, pulling the two of you apart. "We have to get out of here now or Umbridge will kill us. Like actually kill us." "Alright, soulmate. You coming with us or not?" George asks. "Like she's going to go anywhere with us now, George," Fred scoffs. "You're a total-" "I'm in," you say, cutting him off.

Fred pulled you out of the broom closet before you could change your mind. He held onto your hand as the three of you ran through the halls, avoiding the blasts of light above you. Suddenly, curses mixed into the light of the fireworks. You risked a quick look back and saw Umbridge and the rest of her cult following you. "Shit!" you yelled, ducking from a bright red ray of light.

"Accio!" both twins yelled, and after a moment a broom hit each of their hands. They mounted the brooms, Fred pulling you right behind him. You clutch him closely while shooting a string of spells behind you at Umbridge. With a final toss of fireworks, you're gone - Hogwarts far behind.

It was no time before you landed down in Diagon Alley. "What are we doing here?" you ask. The town was a graveyard - each shop having been closed for what seemed to be months.

"Alohamora," George whispered, cracking open a door to a building near the end of the lot. "You are looking at the start of our joke shop - name still pending." "And our home for the next month. If we told our mum we were leaving Hogwarts she would drag us straight back. So we have to wait her out here," Fred adds.

After spelling on the lights, George leads you in. The place was nowhere near finished, but you could see the bones of the operation. Half-finished products were strewn over the ground, haphazard notes that only they could read near each one. "This is really cool," you smile.

"I would advise you not to touch anything. There's a method to our madness and I really don't want you to accidentally blow yourself up," George says. You nod. "No touching. Got it." "Come on, bedroom's this way," Fred leads. You wish you could stop the heat from rising to your face, but George sees it immediately, smirking to himself. You ignore him, following Fred closely up the stairs.

"We didn't really prepare for guests," he admits, rubbing the nape of his neck. You enter the bedroom to find two beds on either side of the wall, an simple dresser by each one. And that was it. Not even a couch. The room was just sad. You laughed, "I can tell. If you can spare a pillow I'll sleep in the corner. It'll be cozy." "You are not sleeping on the floor," both twins immediately protested. "No way we're letting any guest sleep on the ground, let alone our soulmate," George scoffs.

"You'll have my bed tonight. We'll figure something else out by tomorrow," Fred adds.

You protested, of course, but the two fought back harder. You finally just gave in, heading towards the bed. You finally take off your cloak, aching to get out of your whole uniform, but knowing you would have to wait until tomorrow to get anything remotely comfortable to wear.

Fred immediately picks up on your discomfort. "You can wear these tonight," he says, pulling a sweater out of his dresser, then a pair of joggers. You retreat to the bathroom to pull on the clothes, and as you do you notice the golden F stitched into the sweater. You smile as the rub the end of the sleeve between your fingers.

The twins had changed out of their robes by the time you returned. George had already gone to bed, and Fred was waiting for you on his. You sat down beside him, finally taking a moment to rest after the insanity of the day. "Thank you for this," you said, nodding down to your sweater. "And for bringing me with you, and letting me sleep on your bed, and for not meeting me in the way I always feared you would."

Fred brings his hand to your face, holding you from your jaw to your ear, just as he had when you fell. "I don't think my hands could ever hurt you." He spoke the words quietly, but they filled your entire head. When you looked at him, you felt dizzy. It was all too much - his kindness, his brother's apprehension, the fact that they were both your soulmates. Was that even possible? In all your years you'd never heard of a person having two soulmates, let alone at the same time. But there they were. There he was, staring down at you with the kindest eyes you'd ever seen on a man.

"Can I kiss you?" Fred asked. His cheeks rouged as he asked, and yours followed. You couldn't speak, so you just nodded. And then the hand that had settled onto your skin, like it belonged there, pulled you into him. His lips were soft against yours, moving as slowly as a person possibly could. Still, his touch was electric and the shockwaves surged through you.

Your heart lurched in it's chest when he pulled away from you. "Goodnight," he smiled, pushing himself off of his bed. You quickly grabbed his hand, halting him. "Stay." Fortunately, he didn't require much convincing. He let you become comfortable before sliding into bed behind you, wrapping one hand around your waist.

"Merlin," George huffed, causing both of you to jump. "The two of you cannot fit comfortably on that bed. With a quick flick of his hand, his bed pushed against his brothers, the sheets melding together. You yelped as strong hands pulled you up from the outside of the bed and plopped you back down right in the middle. "I will not be cuddled by Fred in my sleep again. I trust you to keep your distance."

"With all due respect, Georgie. You are the last person I would want to cuddle in this room," Fred shot back, wrapping a protective arm around you. "I would sure hope so," he rolled his eyes, finally lowering himself into bed beside you. He didn't bother to face the other direction, instead studying your face. Against your will, you blushed once more - which only caused him to smirk. "Sweet dreams, princess," he teased.

"Sweet dreams, Georgie," you smiled back, finally causing his cheeks to burn.

[neonpaperlanterns]

That was so sweet and melancholy and ahhhh, I'm happy you posted it. 🥹♥️

♡ This post of @neonpaperlanterns broke my heart so much, it reminded me of a little thing I wrote. I changed it a bit, since @neonpaperlanterns was interested, I decided to share it here. I know some things doesn’t make sense like they didn’t knew the gender but let’s pretend! ♡

♡ Pairing: Portgas D. Rouge x Gol D. Roger

♡ CW: Fluff, expecting a baby, sadness, accepting death

♡ Tag list: @neonpaperlanterns @stillxnunpxidintern @help-i-lost-my-sock

“Roger, you need to be realistic. This illness is slowly killing you. I’m a doctor, not a miracle ass-worker, you refuse to stop drinking, the illness has progressed so much in the last few months, I can’t do better than that.”

Roger wouldn’t want to hear those words by Crocus but definitely, he knew this moment would eventually come; his illness was deadly. Crocus has been able to slow it down, but couldn’t do it forever.

“How much time do I have left?”, ended up asking Roger, with a look full of hopes.

“Three months if you’re lucky," he replied.

Three months.

His heart dropped. Rouge, his secret wife, was currently four months pregnant. That was a secret between them. Their little treasure.

As soon as he said four months, those words resonated in his head and he couldn’t think about anything else.

Right before they head to their last voyage, Roger had to stop at Baterilla to have, at least, one last night with the love of his life, Rouge.

How would he announce it? He had no idea. She knew he was sick but didn’t know how bad it actually was. Despite the illness, despite the age gap between them, she still decided to have a baby with him because he was the love of her life.

“Roger! I’m pregnant! We are having a little baby!”

Those words she pronounced. Her eyes filled with tears of joy. It was definitely one of the happiest days of his life, he was absolutely thrilled to become a father! Day one, he was already picturing himself holding this baby, showing it the sea, taking naps, traveling the world.

And I won’t even see your face…

Before heading to Rouge's house, Roger stopped to get hibiscus flowers and went to her house. Before he could even knock the door, Rouge opened up and hugged him.

“Roger, my love, guess what! We are having a little boy!”

Caught by surprise, Roger couldn’t hold back his tears and held her back. He was so happy, he wouldn’t stop babbling about his future son.

“Of course he will be a pirate! The best one, better than me! And he will find One Piece! Hahahaha!”

“My love, what about letting our son follow his own path?”

Rouge and Roger were decorating the little room for their future son. A cute little room, all painted in blue to represent the calm ocean. Roger bought a giant whale plushie from one of his travels. Since he knew they were expecting a baby, he was always bringing little gifts. This is why the room was invaded by multiple plushies.

He built a ship crib and painted it by himself; he never was very crafty but he gave his whole heart to build it and paint it himself. It had to be a little ship for his little future pirate. He was, sometimes, gently pushing the crib to see it gently rocking back and forth.

“For the nights where he can’t sleep, the crib will gently rock it back and forth, just like a ship on the waves. Cradled by the ocean.”, he said with a gentle smile.

Rouge approached him and smiled, looking at the end result of the freshly decorated room. They were proud of themselves because this room has been painted and decorated by them, with all the love they had for this baby.

After dinner, Roger got sick; he almost fell down, coughing blood. With a sad look, Rouge helped him. She knew how sick he was but it saddened her to see her beloved in such a bad shape. Afterwards, they went to her bed to relax. She was laying in his arms while he was caressing her long strawberry pink hair.

“Crocus told me I have three months left, my darling.”, he admitted. “This is…this is probably our last night together. I’m so sorry…it escalated so fast.”

Despite his tough look, Rouge could see the sadness on his face. She sighed and gently caressed his face.

“I was expecting it. You weren’t getting better…”

“I won’t even get to meet him, my little treasure, Ace…”

He gently caressed her belly and for the first time, they felt a little move. They looked at each other and smiled, Roger couldn’t hold back his tears.

“Ace…I’m so sorry I won’t get to meet you. Please know that I love you. I love you so much”

His voice cracked. It was the first time that Rouge would see him cry. They both cried so much that night.

“My love, I promise I will do anything to protect Ace. I’ll talk about you everyday, I will raise him here and he will know how great you were.”

“I hope he will understand…my darling, I don’t want to reach the point where I’m slowly dying. When I’m king, I’ll retire in glory and surrender myself to the marines. I-I hope you understand.”

She nodded, in tears. As much as it broke her heart, she understood that it was the best solution to not see him suffer.

Everything after that night escalated fast; Roger became the king of the pirates a few weeks later, disbanded the crew and surrendered himself to the marines, as planned.

Alone in his prison cell, waiting for death, the only thing he could think about was his unborn son. The tears rolling down his face.

Ace…when your mother announced to me she was expecting a baby, I was filled with happiness. Maybe becoming a father has been a dream of mine. My son, my treasure. I wish we could’ve met. My only regret is to think that I’ll never hold you in my arms, tell you how much I love you. I feel like since I’ll never meet you, I will never become a father officially.

You will hear a lot of things about me. You might hate me. I never wanted you to be born with the pressure of being my son and this is why I asked Garp to take care of you. A newborn bears no sins and whatever you decide to do, I’ll be your biggest supporter.

I loved you Ace. You were my treasure.

Alone in Ace’s room, Rouge caressed her belly, looking at all the plushies and playing the lullaby of the mobile hanging on the crib.

“Ace, you can’t come out yet, the marines, those monsters, are killing every pregnant woman and every newborn. But don’t worry, you’ll be fine, we’ll be fine, we promised him.”

She wiped off her tears and held the baby for 20 months. For love.

As the newborn was crying, she caressed his cheek with her shaking hand.

“Ace…I love you. We loved you so much…”

Immortal Cop Danny P.2

Part 1

So, we have seen my scenario where Danny is revealed as an Immortal Cop really late in the Timeline, like nearly the entire Batfamily has already been formed kinds of late.

But what about a world where Danny has been on the Force since Batman Year 1?

Officer/Detective Nightingale has been one of the best and most loyal members of the GCPD for well over 3 decades. He didn't hide his "Meta Ability" when he first joined the force, since Gotham hadn't been introduced to all of their Superpowered Rouges yet, and the attitude for Metas in Gotham was nowhere near as harsh as it would be in the future.

He was one of the Go-To Cops in the early days of the Batman, since he had proven to be trustworthy and most people felt comfortable talking to him. Most of the community respected him, although some saw his power of Immortality as unnatural or freakish.

Batman met Officer Danny on one of his earliest cases. Danny pushed him out of the way of a Bullet and saved his life, getting shot in the process.

Bruce will never forget when Danny reached into the hole on his side and pulled the bullet out with his fingers. He didn't even flinch.

Danny has also been one of Commissioner Gordon's best friends and closest confidants for years. He was even offered the job of Commissioner once due to his extensive experience on the Force, but refused since he knew Gotham would never accept a Meta Commissioner, or maybe because he believed that he wasn't the right fit for the job.

Dick remembers the time when Officer Nightingale found out about Robin's age. He will always think of Danny laying into Bruce for bringing in such a young kid as one of his fondest memories.

Gordon remembers being invited to dinner with Danny's mom, a nice if cryptic lady dressed in gothic clothes who thanked him for all the work he did for the city, and for keeping her streets as safe as possible. Apparently she did the same for Batman, who had gone to Danny's apartment for some information and left with a full belly and plenty of leftovers.

He was basically the best Cop you could ask for. Calm, kind, honest, understanding, and he genuinely seemed to be trying to help the people around him.

Barbra calls him Uncle Danny, and he was there to help her adjust when she lost use of her legs.

Commissioner Gordon thinks of Danny as his best Cop/Friend, unflappable and loyal to a fault.

Bruce thinks of him as one of his more trusted allies, on the same level as Commissioner Gordon even.

Robin called him "Cool Cop D". Later, he was one of the reasons Dick decided to become a Police Officer.

Hell, even Damian commended the man's resolve to help the City, which was considered a monumental feat at the time.

Which is why it was such a shock when Danny disappeared.

He just didn't show up for work one day. This in and of itself wasn't too out of the ordinary, but he usually called in to tell them he was gonna miss a day. They thought it was just because he was so anxious lately, jumping at the little things like a guy bumping into him or asking to leave room at the mention of Autopsies

Then he missed the next day. Not that bad, I mean he had been really stressed out recently. Maybe he just needed an extra day, to work off the stress? Nobody was really worried anything had happened to him, he was immortal after all, but they were still concerned.

Then he missed a third day. This was far more concerning. The last time this happened, Danny had been found passed out in his apartment because he hadn't slept in days and hadn't eaten in weeks (what's the point if he won't die either way?).

He had been put on medical leave for a month after that.

So one of the guys decided to visit his house, just to see if he needed some help.

They find the apartment empty. No evidence that he ever lived there. It was like the entire place had been scrubbed clean of anything that even hinted at his existence, and whoever had done it obviously wanted to cover their tracks.

So, an investigation is launched.

And almost instantly, the Feds take the Case from the GCPD and declare Danny as dead a week later.

Seems they forgot to take a look at his Resume...

So Gordon takes this to Bats, who immediately starts investigating the Feds in White who showed up to steal the case.

Part 2 of the D&D sketches longposting.

Continuing from the last D&D post, we begun an investigation in the mining town and started to find links to Lolth and the doppelgangers enlisted to cause problems for us and the people.

Half of us investigated the town while the other half checked out an impending force of goblins (and other creatures) massing a way from the town.

We found and killed one of the doppelgangers, along with catching another that was partnered with that one.

The other half of our gang found their siege prep camp and did some... sabotage to the camp.

Also our tabaxi, Rebecca, rolled a bit awkwardly while we were keeping watch on our doppelganger captive.

After handling all that we got back together and helped prepare the town for the siege the goblins were planning to do.

Our party's dwarf also snorted a mix of gunpowder (and something else) to get high. He'd also done magic mushrooms at one point, too.

The siege was intense, but we came out on top in the end.

Afterwards, Lloyd scored some fresh armor from one of the hobgoblin captains. Our goblin rouge, Zzrez, collected some loot. We also saved a couple people who the doppelgangers were trying to replace.

Earlier while we fought and captured the doppelgangers, the store that one of them was occupying burned down. The owner of said shop did not know her store burned down (she was captured and replaced) and Lloyd broke the news with tact.

We saved other folks who were trapped underground in a mine (again, abducted by the doppelgangers to be replaced). Lloyd did not stick the landing on the way down.

The dragon eggs we got a while ago also hatched, and they were wonderful little critters. One of us, Sildar, a recruited member from Kingdom's Alliance did not like the dragons.

Our Not Insane dwarf cleric also proved his sanity.

Continued in the next post!

Keegan Russ - NSFW Alphabet

keegan russ x fem!reader || minors dni

a/n: first time writing nsfw (and writing in general), beware of spelling errors, nsfw bellow

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

usually likes to take short naps after sex, but before doing so he always checks up on you, to make sure you're alright. he would bring you a glass of water and just cuddle while napping together.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

on you - thighs. he's definitely a thigh guy, he loves anything to do with thighs. he loves grabbing, squishing and fucking them.

on himself - hands. he loves roaming his hands around your body and seeing how his touch affects you.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

most of the time he cums on your thighs and belly. as long as it's safe, he loves cumming inside you and then watching it leak out of you.

he always makes you cum first, he treats getting you off as his 'main objective'.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

he likes to be overstimulated. i will not elaborate.

he also enjoys his hair being pulled, though they are short, he loves when you tug on them.

and i feel like he secretly likes it when you take control during sex. he has to have control on the battlefield, so he likes to give it up to you in the bed. he's a switch, but he's usually dominant. he would submit to you only when he's comfortable enough with you.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

definitely has some experience, this man has fucked before for sure. during the act he knows what to do and he does it good.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

missionary, spooning and riding, he definitely likes feeling you close.

also any position against a wall.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

i think he would crack a couple of jokes, 2 or 3 maybe, but would stay serious most of the time. he keeps the playfulness for aftercare. sometimes he's too focused to say anything at all.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

he doesn't care whether you shave or not, but he likes to keep his own short and neat. most of the time doesn't shave fully, likes to leave a small patch at the top.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

passionate as fuck. he loves making eye contact during sex - his eyes are glued to you the whole time. he will kiss every part of your body he can reach. definitely praises you a lot and worships your body as much as he can.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

jerks off maybe like, once a week. he doesn't strike me as a super horny person, i also don't think he has time for that. if he needs to blow off the steam, he would do it with you.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

praise, body worshipping

marking - he loves leaving hickeys on your neck to show others that you're his. he appreciates every scratch and bite mark you leave on him

overstimulation - he's the one to overstimulate you most of the time, but as i mentioned before, he likes being overstimulated too

hair pulling - he never pulls on your hair, but secretly likes his hair pulled

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

classically, he mostly enjoys having sex in the bedroom, but wouldn't mind having sex anywhere else.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

the noises you make and the look on your face while he's buried deep inside of you never fail to turn him on.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

anything that could or would hurt you, so no knife/gun play or hardcore choking.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

he doesn't mind receiving, but he prefers giving waaay more. he eats pussy for his own pleasure. he does wonders with his tongue. he loves eating you out while he's kneeling on the floor and you're sitting on the bed. he also wouldn't mind face-sitting.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

he likes a mix of both. the pace often depends on his mood. being fast and rough, relentlessly pounding into you feels good, but going slow, sensually dragging out his thrusts in time feels even better.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

he'd do quickies before going on missions. he enjoys them, but prefers normal sex, he likes taking his time pleasuring you.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

he doesn't have anything against experimenting, he's quite open and likes testing out new things. when you bring something up to him that you'd like to try out, he's more than happy to take part in it.

as far as taking risk of being caught in public goes, he's only willing to have sex in a public restroom, he wouldn't want anyone catching you two in a situation like this.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

he can last very long, has a lot of stamina, but usually goes for 2-3 rounds.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

he doesn't own any toys, doesn't care whether you do or don't. he can pleasure you better than any sex toy would.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

he likes to tease you a little bit, he kinda enjoys it when you beg him to stop the teasing and to just fuck you already.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

he's usually not that loud, occasionally letting out a few grunts and moans, but he knows what his voice does to you so he tries to be more noisy and also talk more during sex.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

sometimes he likes to keep parts of his gear (or the whole gear) on during sex. there's just something about you being completely naked while he's mostly clothed that turns him incredibly on. he also likes to wear the mask too.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

5.6 in/14 cm, average girth, curved slightly up.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

his sex drive is pretty average. not too high, not too low. i think his sex drive would grow higher, the longer he hasn't seen you.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

sex tires him out, so as mentioned earlier, he likes taking naps after you're done. before he falls asleep himself, he likes to watch you falling asleep, stroking your cheek or rubbing your back. once he's sure you're sleeping, he will fall asleep too.

One Piece Crack Ship War - Round 2 Side H

Propaganda under the cut.

ShaRouge:

Two hot ladies who are associated with the Pirate King and his First Mate. I'm just saying, if so many people can ship Roger/Rayleigh (and rightfully so), their female counterparts should be shipped together too. It's balance! Also, imagine a universe where Ace is raised by Rouge and Shakky. That's a universe that I want to live in.

their husbands are fucking so it only makes sense.

Shanks x Dragon: Luffys father figure and actual father; I just think it’s a funny idea.

[whumpbby]

TBH I do think some Jiang disciples did survive the Lotus Pier massacre, if only because they had been elsewhere when it happened/too old or too young to fight so they ran (<-which could be a fun thing to grapple with for both the potential run-aways and newly recruiting Jiang Cheng, who was sent away), but it still wasn't enough people to be called Great Sect. So I think as you say they recruited anyone they could, including some rouge cultivators and some from smaller sects that were destroyed or taken over by the Wen Sect. I don't think they tried to recruit - while the Sunshot campaign was going - a lot of people without active golden core, because they would simply have little time to train them between the battles. Some probably did manage to join the Sect like that, and these would probably grow quite close to people who taught them between the fights.

Also Jiang Cheng having to be at least one of these teachers, because they are short on the disciples but shorter in those trained in Jiang style even more so. And how after the war he must've been doing that still, on top of having the sect to run as both Leader and Head Discipline (because Wei Wuxian was going through things he chose to neither explain or acknowledge) (1/2)

(2/2) Also Jiang Cheng, who almost had to watch his brother get caught by the Wen soldiers when he went off alone in the streets, WOULD try and make his disciples work in big enough groups to protect themselves. Also also Jiang Cheng that seems to go off alone rather often.

Oh, and Jiang Cheng throwing his weight around when his disciples get into some sort of disagreement/scuffle every time, and being harsh on the other party (totally not because of finally being able to shield someone he cares for) and never satisfying the questions about the punishment (totally not because of his mother and Zidian and Wei Wuxian). Even when Jiang disciples were in the wrong. Not meaning there was no disciplinary action, just that it never went outside the sect.

Also taking in some non-cultivators that are good at other things (like Jiang Yanli!) or people who lost their golden cores but can still fight and teach (because he remembers not having a golden core and how that felt like; and maybe he realises somewhere along the way that he might've been able to live without one too; which would certainly add even more flavour to learning whose golden core really was inside him all along).

The latter headcanon is also so amazing because resurrected Wei Wuxian would have to confront how he dealt with the loss of his core and finally stop saying he is fine and reflect on his feelings about all this, including Jiang Cheng

____________________________________________________

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me :D I am so absolutely taken over by this subject!

This is why I'm writing these things, I love to discuss them with other peeps:)

Your message pushed me onto another path of wild speculation via the mention of the other smaller sects that JC would approach to recruit - and that pushed me into the economics of Jinaghu and their influence on the post-war lay of the landXD

Which I am putting under the cut, because it's a lot of rambling to get to a point, but that's how it is in these parts;]

Also, the map I will be using, because it's as good as any other:

From the beginning - smaller sects yes, there was probably not a shortage of them that were destroyed by the Wen passing through and by the blowback of the war happening at all. I imagine that anyone from lone survivors to whole families was displaced…

But I am unsure if inviting them in would be a good idea in JC's position, because, going back to the main point - the Jiang were decimated. I can only go by what the story tells us when it doesn't mention any extra survivors - the Wen banning other sects from night-hunts was a nifty set-up for everyone being stuck at home after all - even if, logically, some of the disciples could be in other locations… however, even if they were, these wouldn't be the meat of Yunmeng Jiang. Because…

…random tangent no 1, because this is a low-fantasy setting (thinking of Game of Thrones I am), I am structuring the Sects as Just Gentry. Maybe not kingdoms outright - because there doesn't seem to be enough land between them to cover for their economic statuses - but city-states ruled by aristocratic bloodlines with the actual political power in their hands. Thus, even if the book doesn't really go into it, I'd wager that the region of Yunmeng was run by the extended Jiang family that was living in the capital of Lotus Pier. That's where the disciples were trained - but that was most likely also where the taxes were being collected, where the trade arrangements happened, where the law was being written, higher education took place, it had the best restaurants, etc.

When the Wen destroyed Lotus Pier, they did away with the whole socio-economic and political setup of the region, which is a smart move for someone who wants to set up their own shop.

…And that circles me back to JC and recruiting - he wasn't just gathering disciples to fight, he was rebuilding a whole intricate system of governance from scratch. A system that used to be run by the extended family that he could trust - now was something he was staffing with strangers.

And, from the example of Su Minshan, we know how jumping sects was considered to be in bad taste - it stands to reason that whatever decimated sect showed up on JC's doorstep, they wouldn't want to give up their own name. Just like JC wasn't going to give up his name. These people would be looking for an alliance and revenge, and, most likely, economic help in their own rebuilding, but most of them weren't looking to join the Jiang. And if they were - what was the guarantee that they'd stay? Or that they wouldn't use JC to meet their own ends and leave him worse for it? Or simply take over due to sheer numbers? A valid fear for a clan of 1 that had to seem ripe for picking.

I think JC would be very careful about accepting disciples from existing sects as his own, and instead build alliances with them. A rogue cultivator or a promising youth looking for a place to settle were a safer bet to build the core of his new sect with. Not to say that some of these alliances wouldn't result in the smaller sects merging into the Jiang later on by osmosis, but not at the outset…

Which leads me to believe that JC would want to start taking in and training coreless youths as soon as humanly possible - just to have someone at his back who was OF Yunmeng Jiang and not just allied with them. Maybe not during the beginning of the war, but by the time Lotus Pier was reclaimed things were probably going this way. If you think about it, Jiang Cheng was a fucking powerhouse of a leader. I have no idea when he slept. Probably not at all.

Probably why he was so cranky XD

That's why I am of firm opinion that the alliance by marriage with the Jin sect was a double-edged sword JC wasn't in a position to refuse, but also wasn't in a position to wholeheartedly accept. (And everyone who thinks that JC 'sold' Yanli to JGS for all these doubloons is just plain old wrong). Because now they're family. Only family he has. And that family can slowly find their way into the important positions of his own 'kingdom', because that's how gentry/aristocracy tends to work in a setting putting that much value on bloodlines, and he doesn't have his own family to plug these positions with ahead of time.

And even if JGS wasn't super eager to marry his son to JYL and the marriage was mostly pushed by Madame Jin and Jin Zixuan - it was in JGS's best interests for Yunmeng Jiang to remain weakened and/or under his control. Because….

…tangent nr 2- economics! :D

The plot doesn't go into it, but I like to know, so I was thinking of the actual economics of the magical land of magical peopleXD I don't need them to be detailed, but just realistic enough to make some sense, and serve as a believable background. I'm not going to question the existence of potatoes or other anachronisms, but one thing I needed to answer for myself was - where is all the money coming from???

Like, for real, where is the cash coming from for all the silks, fancy furniture, houses, swords and so on. How are the gentry sects making money?

Again, the genre, like many others, waves away monetary concerns in general - aristocrats are just wealthy, commoners are poor, and Bilbo Baggins is a landlord. OK.

So, taxes. What makes sect a Great one? Land, mostly, it would seem. The amount of land they own. Which means taxes - if we consider the Gentry sects local aristocracy. That tracks, because ain't no way they'd earn that much dosh via night-hunts from a population that isn't really that large. If you look at the approximate map of the whole realm and consider how fast people are moving from one region to another (even including flying swords and donkey-travel) that ain't a lot of land/people to feed all these sects fleeting about between the 5 Majors.

So, my idea is that the small sects do support themselves mostly via night-hunting and general spiritual upkeep of their locals, but the Greats are just aristocracy and live off of taxes and trade.

And that makes me wonder how Yunmeng Jiang managed to recover their wealth in such a record time, and why was the Jin so wealthy for apparently doing so little.

I propose that Lanling Jin grew out of a port-city and made its money on sea-trade. Sea trade was always The Shit if you wanted to, dunno, gild your palace in gold or something.

Yunmeng - with its access to lakes and rivers - was another trade hub of the realm with the additional bonus of lotus, fish and all other crops a well-watered land can give you.

Qishan - being the most West-ward placed of the Great sects we know of, had to have access to - or even monopoly over - the intercontinental trade routes, or a lot of raw materials available. But at the same time, being a mountainous region, it wasn't rich in water and water-intensive crops. I think that once the material appetite of the Wen upper echelon grew, the more they needed to look towards consuming other regions to sustain it.

Annexing Yunmeng was a good strategy from that point of view - it fixed the water issue and also opened new trade routes towards the South and East via the rivers.

But then the Wen were defeated - and all that West-ward trade potential suddenly was left unattended, and JGS would be a fool to let it slip through his fingers. And the only 'large' clan placed close enough to was Yunmeng.

Stands to reason that, somehow, JC managed to wrestle some of that for his own people to refill the coffers. Gusu was too far and not a trade hub by any means, and Nie Mingjue/Huaisang seemed uninterested in reaching out for it, so the only serious competition on that front were the Jin… Which, again, JC somehow managed to outsmart there, because I do not believe for even a moment that a fierce economic battle wasn't fought as soon as the military operations ended.

Hey just found your account and on thin ice is just *chefs kiss* but I raise you, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir in 2018 with moulin rouge… but it’s Aziraphale and Crowley.

Keep up the beautiful art! 🖤

oh yes, that program is my Roman Empire..… tessa and scott are big inspirations for how i like to imagine aziraphale and crowley as a pair of ice dancers. the hypothetical part 2 of on thin ice is all about them skating together. :D

i haven’t drawn a lot of it but here is at least one sketch i’ve scribbled up so far

[deadpoolsmom]

one piece au where Garp just out the gate claims that Ace is Dragon’s son

Like what are the marines/Sengoku gonna do - ask Dragon to verify? Track down the world’s most wanted man for a paternity test?

“Wouldn’t Dragon care / contradict this?” Dragon is intentionally not associated with his actual son, so 50/50 he’d even know. And what is he gonna care the government think he has 2 kids by 2 moms? He’s not gonna tell them anything. He’d probably let them believe that to fuck w them + so the son of another of their enemies lives free / isn’t targeted for his blood

“Portgas D Rouge was an associate of Roger and they were specifically looking for a baby” Well maybe she had questionable taste after his death. Dragon was already a Revolutionary at that point, so it’s not like the WG know what he is doing.

“Why does Ace use his mother’s family name?” He loves his mom and thinks his “dad’s” a deadbeat

“Why doesn’t Luffy then?” Same as canon. Garp still doesn’t know it and Luffy doesn’t care about dads

I don’t think it would necessarily solve Marineford or make it so that Ace survives, but I do think it would be extremely funny
