#you're going to let THIS PERSON teach you about communication trust and honesty????

[justalittlebluetiefling]

I'm just realizing how wild it is that they let a ridiculously powerful fey creature set up a team-building scavenger hunt for them.

[imasimpforshanks]

Hi there!

I hope you're doing great. Ehm... May I requests Law for either the romantic or the Angst alphabet? I just can't decide that and would like you to choose from it.

I'm really looking forward to your work. Other than that have a nice day/eve. ♡

Fluff Alphabet - Trafalgar Law

a/n: hi there!!! thank you for requesting and for your kind words 💓 I chose the fluff alphabet because our man has suffered enough and I couldn’t handle writing out angst for him 🙃 ANWAYSSSS pls enjoy x

A-Activities (what do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?)

During the little free time he has, Law loves to spend it with you doing anything lowkey. He’s usually pretty exhausted from everything going on, so taking some time to wind down and read a good book with you tucked him next to him reading you’re a book of your own is his ideal way to spend time with you.

That being said, if you are a person who prefers to do something active, Law won’t say no to that (so long as it’s not Luffy level active).

B-Beauty (what do they admire about their s/o? what do they think is beautiful about them?)

Law admires your way of thinking. You always seem to bring a fresh, unique perspective and now he can’t help but ask for your input on everything. This is also what he finds the most beautiful about you. He’s never been one to care that much about what is on the outside. To Law, it’s what is on the inside that counts (who knew law was so cliché;)). Your mind and the way it works is a wonder to behold and Law counts himself very lucky that he is the one that gets to see you in action the most.

C-Comfort (how would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?)

Law takes a very pragmatic approach when it comes to comforting his s/o. He’s a doctor, so its only natural for him to think in this way. He asks you directly what’s wrong and how he could help – it’s the most logical thing to do and the quickest way to ensure you are feeling comforted.

D-Dreams (how do they picture the future with their s/o?)

In the future Law wants to live a simple, quiet life with you. Somewhere secluded and far away from all the noise and chaos of the world. You’ll live in a nice house (nothing too fancy), with a child or two running around acting out their parents’ infamous pirate adventures.

E-Equal (are they the dominant one in the relationship or rather passive?)

He tends to take the more dominant role in the relationship. For the sake of your safety and his sanity, he prefers to be the one to take charge with you following his lead. But, he does still value your input in almost all decisions.

F-Fight (would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?)

Your fights tend to be pretty short lived resulting in forgiveness and apologies from both sides relatively quickly. He really doesn’t like to stay mad at you for too long – he’d much rather have you two on the same page.

Most fights are caused by stress and concerns of health and safety, so Law does a lot of eye rolling and using his title as a ‘doctor’ as justification that he knows what he’s doing so you just need to chill – but like I said these fights are very short lived.

G-Gratitude (how grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?)

Before he met you, Law’s life was very dull. Yes, he has his fair share of adventures and fun with his crew, but there was something missing from his life. But then you came along, bringing a little more colour into his life. Instead of being exhausted and tense from dealing with everything alone, you forced your way in and pried him open, allowing him to share his burdens. For that, Law is eternally grateful.

H-Honesty (do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?)

Initially, Law tried to hide quite a lot. He was very selective about the information he shared with you. It’s not that he didn’t trust you, he just struggled to share things with others – his past has made him very closed off. But, before he knew it you managed to weasel your way in, and soon he found himself confiding in you about everything. The only time he ever keeps a secret is if knowing it will jeopardize your safety.

I-Inspiration (did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?)

I touched on this a little bit before, but you were able to teach Law the relief and comfort that comes with trusting and relying on others. Because of you, he was able to learn that its important to not deal with everything on your own.

J-Jealousy (do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?).

It’s not often that Law gets jealous. It’s an ugly emotion, plus he feels no need to be jealous since he trust you with his whole heart. However, if he was to get jealous, he is definitely the quiet jealous type. His fists clench a little tighter, his frown deepens ever so slightly, and he just doesn’t speak. He doesn’t ignore you though, rather he chooses to curt replies until he eventually gets over it or if it’s really bothering him he may bring it up with you.

K-Kisses (are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?).

He is a very inexperienced kisser, not having (or wanting) many romantic relationships in his past. Even so, he’s surprisingly not horrible (but not great either) at kissing. Maybe it has something to do with his deep knowledge and understanding of the way the human body works. Unfortunately, during your first kiss he tried to rely a little too much on his ‘knowledge’ rather than melting in to it. It wasn’t a horrible first kiss, it just felt a little stiff. The desire was there, but it was as if he were afraid to give in to the emotions he was feeling and reading your signals. However, after a little communication and guidance he’s now an expert.

L-Love confession (how would they confess to their s/o?)

It was in the heat of the moment after you had done something completely and utterly stupid, that almost cost you your life. He wasn’t intending on doing it right then and there, in fact he actually had a whole plan of how and when he was going to tell you how he felt. But seeing you lying in the infirmary after having to operate on you was more than he could handle and before he knew it the words just slipped out.

M-Marriage (do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?)

Marriage is indeed something Law wants. You wouldn’t expect it but after you two officially got together, it wasn’t more than a month before Law started thinking about marriage. He knows now isn’t the time for marriage, but it’s definitely in his plans for the next few years or so.

His proposal is going to be low key. The two of you would have to be alone with no other people around – maybe while you two are lying in bed one night, he just pops the question. And as with the proposal, your wedding would also be low key. No big party or ceremony, just you two and the people closest to you (bepo definitely officiates).

N-Nicknames (what do they call their s/o?)

‘Babe’ or your name are his usual choices for when you are around other people. But occasionally when he’s on the verge of falling asleep he’ll let out a yawn followed by a sleepy “babyyyy”.

O-On cloud nine (what are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?)

When Law is in love he tends to keep his cool and collected façade. But on the inside he’s a babbling, nervous mess. He doesn’t do anything particularly out of the ordinary other than making a bit more of an attempt at conversing with you. He loves hearing you talk and rambling on about things you’re passionate about so he does try to find any excuse to talk to you.

P-PDA (are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?)

PDA is something Law isn’t the biggest fan of. He’ll stand next to you and be in close proximity while sharing a few glances, but other than that he won’t engage in PDA. Law considers that sort of thing to be private and intimate so he likes to keep it between the two of you. Occasionally, if you are feeling a little extra needy he may give in to a quick hug or forehead kiss.

Q-Quirk (some random ability they have that is beneficial in a relationship?)

It may not come as that much of a surprise but, Law can make one hell of a cup of coffee (actually any hot drink really). His perfect brew definitely comes in handy.

R-Romance (how romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?)

Oh boy, he is way more romantic than anyone would ever realize. He loves doing little things for you just to see that sweet smile on your face. It makes his heart swell with happiness.

S-Support (are they helping their s/o achieve their goals do they believe in them?)

Rather than being the consistently positive support, Law provides you with constructive criticism and things that can actively help you achieve your goals. He’s a realist, so doesn’t think only saying “you can do it” or “it’s only a minor setback” is the way to go. He still says those things because they are true – Law honestly believes you can do whatever you set your mind to, however, constructive criticism is needed in addition to this.

The key take away here is: YES. Law believes you can achieve all your hopes and dreams.

T-Thrill (do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship or do they prefer certain routine?)

Law needs routine, especially in your relationship. You have continued doing the same things in your relationship since you first got together because it works. Why would he want to change what works? It’s safe, it’s familiar, and it’s comfortable.

That being said, he’s not opposed to the idea of spicing things up. If you ever felt like trying something new (or even if he starts to feel bored about something), he would be open to the idea. Who knows, maybe the new thing you try could even become a part of your routine.

U-Understanding (how good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?)

It’s no surprise that he is very adept at reading people, he’s on to it and has exceptional observation skills. He uses these skills with you as well.

He knows what it’s like to be consumed by emotions (in fact he knows that too well), and while with most, he’s the type to keep his emotions hidden, when it comes to you he shares his emotions to help you realize that he also knows how it feels and that you are not alone.

V-Value (how important is the relationship to them? What is its worth in comparison to other things in their life?).

Your relationship is a top priority in his life. He’s lost everyone he ever cares about (other than his crew) and there is no way he is going to lose you too. The only thing that may potentially rival your relationship is his goal of taking revenge on Doflamingo.

W-Wild card (a random fluff headcanon?)

There’s nothing he loves more than you running your hands through his hair while his head is on your chest or stomach. He automatically leans into your hand every time. He feels the safest in this position.

X-XOXO (Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?)

Like I said before, he is affectionate but it’s mainly when the two of you are alone. Those displays of affection are for the two of you and no one else. But, when the two of you are alone he absolutely loves cuddles (especially lying with his head on your lap or chest).

Y- Yearning (how will they cope when they are missing their partner?)

He gets stressed when you’re not around for more than one reason. Firstly, you can’t help to calm him down and force him to take a breather. Secondly, he’s constantly worried about your safety and wellbeing.

Honestly, the only way he copes with it is by stressing (I know it’s not coping at all but I mean that’s Law for you LMAO).

Z-Zeal (are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind?)

Law would put his life on the line for your relationship. He doesn’t want to lose someone he cares about – not again. He can’t handle that sort of pain, so if it was required of him, he would gladly give his life.

I am new to this dom submissive era but, intrigued I want to be the perfect submissive any tips for a beginner ?

Thanks for the ask. First, welcome and I hope you learn a lot about yourself during your journey.

I'm going to start with one very good piece of advice. Don't try to be the perfect sub. There's no such thing. There's no perfect Dom, no perfect sub. The models you see on here, the stories you read, the tales you hear, theyre mostly idealistic representations of an imperfect world. You're gonna mess up, the people you get involved in are gonna mess up. You're gonna have funny stories, sad stories, tales of caution from past experiences, that's just how it goes.

If you meet a Dom that tells you he can "teach you" or "mold you" into the perfect sub, run as fast as you can away from that person. No one fits in a cookie cutter mold, and you should embrace that, be yourself and let that be your guide to what type of sub you are.

Now to dig a little deeper. Talk, ask questions, take your time, study, etc. Find other subs to talk to that can share their thoughts and ideas. Find books, websites, etc where subs discuss their likes, dislikes, bad experiences, warnings, and so on.

Question everything at first. Why am I doing this? Why do you want me to do that? How is they helping me grow? What's the purpose of this task? Any question you have, speak up. Don't assume as you dive into a d/s life that because you're submissive you don't have a voice. Anyone you find to explore with should understand this is a partnership, that's just how it works.

Don't let anyone "claim" you, own you, or whatever they or you want to call it, before you're ready. It's ok to have safe play partners, to explore with people without having to commit to that level. Along those lines, if you play or have a scene with someone please discuss the scene ad nauseam until you're comfortable with it. Try to understand that persons expectations, and voice yours very loudly. Express your soft and hard limits, don't let them push you to things you aren't ready for. Period. There's no better way to say it. You need your limits respected at all times, without someon belittling you or picking on you about them.

Communication, honesty and effort. Those three things will go a long way in helping you learn and grow. Expect those from your partners and do those for yourself. Those are the cores of building trust. Trust your gut when it comes to trust. Don't listen to your hormones, your horniness, etc. Trust your knowledge and trust your gut. A d/s relationship takes as much effort and trust as any other type of relationship, as a matter of fact it truly takes more. When I say it's like any relationship, I'm talking basic human decency. Would you keep dating a guy that's an asshole to you? No. Don't do it in d/s either. Being a Dom doesn't mean he has the right to treat you poorly, or that you're a lesser part of the equation. Understanding that is huge. You are equal and you honestly have all the power because without your submission he has nothing.

There are some amazing blogs out there from submissives with years of experience. Talk to them, learn from them, and enjoy the ride.

Please don't rush your journey. Learn all you can and take it at your pace. Good luck.

[ghostie-galaxi]

Hi there! Can I please have a ship with both Ghost9 and TO1 based off the Supernatural AU you've done? I'm an INFP, Gemini girl. I may come off as slightly haughty, but I'm generally a talkative and curious person who loves discussion. It's also very easy for me to cry, either because of a movie or when I'm mad or overwhelmed. I show my love most often through quality time & words of affirmation. I'm also a worrywart and it messes with my stomach sometimes. Some of the things I'm passionate about include visual novel games, writing, singing, psychology, and just talking to others in general. I love rabbits, pastel colors, and pop/folk/acoustic music. In my friend group, I tend to be the more chatty, curious one who looks out for others and tries to connect with everyone in the group. In relationships, two things I prize highly would be honesty and communication. My ideal date is stargazing, and I usually end up falling for people whom I deem worthy enough to be my "rock". Thank you so much!

Oooooo interesting! I've wanted to do try doing this for so long so let's give it a shot!

Ghost9 I ship you with:

Wizard!Shin

Even with your stubborn Gemini nature and the haughty persona you give off to people, he could still see inside you when he first came around you and still saw the curious and caring person you really are. If there's anything thing Shin (as a wizard) loves, it's curious people who genuinely take interests in things they don't but want to understand. He would love to talk to you about the wizard world and everything it has to offer, and eventually might even start to teach you magic. He'd always encourage you and show his support when you need help learning new spells and gives you tons of affirmation that you're doing amazing. He loves having you in his presence wether you're writting at one of his desks or simply making small talk or asking him questions while he works. However, he might not always be listening do to him trying to focus on his work, but he never really means to shut you out and will make time for you both to just talk about your day. He's ok with you crying easily and knows exactly how to make you feel better when you're sad or upset and help you call down. He has this very soft and gentle nature and knows how to read emotions easily so he'll be there whenever you need to lean on someone. He'll either surprise you with small gifts using his spells, knowing all your favorite things, and will do anything he can just to see you smile again. He will always be your "pick me up" or your light in the darkness, showing you things you never knew were possible, and all in all will be your inseparable, never letting you go ~❤️

TO1 I ship you with:

Ghost!Jisu

You need someone to talk to, but have no one to call? Good for you because you're never getting rid of Jisu. Talking to yourself out loud? Get ready for his random response out of no where in your house. It might take some time your both if your walls to come down, Jisu's being getting attached to new people inside the house only for them to leave, and your's might be the headstrong nature with being a Gemini and a haughty shell. But I promise you, Jisu's will always be someone to talk to and help you feel better when you get emotional from little things or big emotions. You can literally talk all day to him if you really wanted to, it's not like he has anything else to do. He assures you that everything's fine when you mess up with something or start worrying about something. He likes telling you about his experience with being a ghost and what it's like. You'll never get lonely or bored that's for sure. And he'd definitely be your rock, not only because he can't really leave if he wanted to, but because he's always in the same place when you need someone you can trust or protect you. He can still interact with objects in his own way so he'd do anything to keep you safe in your own home. The only downside is that he doesn't have a physical form nor is he getting one anytime soon (maybe 👀) so you'd both go through a lot with dealing with that situation. Another thing is, if you're trying to do something productive and he gets bored, he's going to mess with you to get his attention. With you'd have to work through that on your own, but at least you have someone that's giving you attention and you can still be with. You like learning about his interests and surprising him with things around you home that he likes, and when you play games he loves to join in. The one thing he longs for is to hold you someday, he already knows that you're never leaving him, and vice versa, but he just wants to prove it to you that he's never going to let you be alone ~❤️

[certifiedceraunophile]

I can see that you're not a native English speaker but your grasp on the language is applaudable how long have you been learning?

Your writing (both tumblr posts and fanfiction) have a classical elegance to it and it's hard for even native speakers to communicate their thoughts as beautifully as you do 💙 Have you taken some special training for it?

Oh my god angel anon this is so sweet, and lmao you're right I'm not a native speaker like at all, tbvvh I struggle a lot w english, always have like I'd score the lowest in it out of all my subjects in high school, ugh my total percentage always took a hit bc of it -_- wont ever stop being salty about it ngl, so no I've had no real training whatsoever beyond like the general compulsory learning in school, and also anybody who chats w me for like more than a minute will immediately know that idgaf about spellings or sentence structure or general coherency in my day to day english, Lmao which reminds me the other day I literally told someone I ~idealize~ I look up to in every way possible when it comes to writing *cough* Jenn @cbk1000 *cough* that “……blah something blah…..I teached...blah blah” while talking and I didnt notice it for like a hot second and Jenn is too sweet (sort of) to point it out but oh my god I was mortified by it when I realized what I had said, but honestly what throws me is that I didn't really notice it was wrong for a long time and like I thought it was a-ok until it hit me that it’s taught.

So in all honesty my english is as good as any non-native speaker who had to learn the language growing up strictly for school purposes.

That being said in my ff writing I just try really really pathetically hard when I write, like the pretension leaps out and tries to reproduce whatever I myself have consumed so far in terms of writing and recycle it as my own crap, I just have this ability (it's not a special thing everyone does it lmao) to subsume what I read and I mostly just take sentences, metaphors and other writerly things sometimes even just the mood/setting of the writing that strike me and rewrite it w an added touch of pretension and it's actually really tangible how much I allow what I read to drastically affect how I write and since I read a weird eclectic mix of really….just a lot of different things that shouldn't really go together lol, my writing style/ narrator voice/ mood setting for my ff also varies a lot, like one day I write Klaus w a satire and critical wit that’s not exactly Voltaire but close, where he’s pretty much just disgusted by everything and decides to mock it all with a straight face and the next day I write him as a lil pining shit with saccharine levels of romanticism in my writing to appeal to his artist-soul mostly bc I sat my ass down and read a poem or two by Keats prior to writing, other days he’s cute and murderous, wears human teeth as jewelry and is just a tiny bit poignant bc I had a date with Poe….so yeah basically what I’m trying to say is that the only "training" I've ever had is what I've already read all these years and what I write is just all the text I've kept w myself and can recollect and re-arrange into my own writing, which is why I would never consider my work to be something that’s completely and originally mine bc I have this personal saying that goes, 

“Everything I see is an image of an image.”

Which to me means a lot of things but in this particular context means that nothing I create belongs to me and only me, it belongs to every writer I’ve read before writing it and will be reminisced by every author who I’ll read after it, that everything I create is just what creators before me have done but have allowed me to take their creations and make it mine before I too pass it on with love and history to the next person.

I also have another quote I feel in every inch of my heart and that’s

"I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women and men that I have loved; all the cities I have visited."

-Jorge Luis Borges

So really this is just my personal...philosophy?? Belief, that I owe my creativity to the world and everything it creates *through* me because I don't own the beauty, I’m only a lens through which it passes through, that my creativity refracts the world's beauty into my life and my creations, and I am glad, blessed to have been the lens through which such beauty passes through.

And that I am more than happy to just be another image who is someone else’s reflection or the very object someone else will reflect, I love how much that connects every human being and every object of beauty, of creation in existence inescapably.

Now I’ve rambled on a lot like a LOT, definitely wayyyyyy more than that simple ask warranted lmao so I’ll shut up and just say you’re the sweetest lovely anon this message made me feel so very flattered and I genuinely think I blushed (and trust me brown girls cannot blush mostly bc the melanin wont let the pink filter through lmao) and I am honoured to know that you thought I took some professional coaching for this because I literally am the most amateur absolutely clueless bullshit your way through everything writer you will find out there and I am ngl proud of that.

(like seriously dude the other day I learnt for the first time how to use a semi colon and I s2g I wanted to dig a hole and bellyflop into it after realizing how many bloody times I’ve used a semi colon wrong like jfc someone kill me before I do it myself it’s mortifying)

eenyways *tackle hugs* thank you for making me smile and for your kind words youre absolutely precious 💖 and I dont deserve the compliments but I am never gonna let them go bc they make my heart warm.

Jody Benson Sharp Helping You Better Understand Lead Generation With These Simple To Follow Tips

Jody Benson Sharp Expert tips provider. You don't have to be someone that doesn't know about lead generation any longer. That's because this article contains some advice on generating leads the easy way. When you're ready to learn more you should take your time to go through these tips so you know what to do to get started.

Be careful about buying email lists to use for lead generation. A lot of companies swear their lists are fresh, but quite often 30% or more of the names you are purchasing will be out of date. Prior to purchasing, negotiate with the list selling company in regard to this. You should get a partial refund if a percentage this high is noticed.

Go to networking events in your community. Lead generation isn't just about emails, ads, and social media. It's also about getting personal and direct communication. Hit as many networking events that you can, especially those related to your target audience. This is one of the most effective ways of generating leads.

Make sure you sort out opt-out and privacy issues. You've got to be on top of the leads that have chosen to opt in for an offer. It's a waste to send things those to people that aren't buying, but also those that want some privacy.

Consider local garage sales if your business is focused locally. For example, if you run a garage you could host a table at a neighborhood sale selling tools or first aid kits. You can let people know about how honest and reliable you are face to face, increasing your reputation and generating leads.

Use customized quality content to generate more leads for you. If a person stays on a page to read what you've written, you're already one step ahead of the game. When people discover value and get the help they need from content, trust usually ensues. This often translates into more sales and sign-ups!

Consider teaching a class on the skills you have. For example, if you are an excellent marketer, teach a basic marketing class. You can let students know about whatever it is you're doing and you can look for those students you think would make the best leads and then target them directly.

Know your target market. When you understand the specific group that most needs the products or services you offer, you will be able to reach them more efficiently. For example, if you are trying to reach elderly customers, you have a better chance of generating leads if you avoid a skateboard shop.

Target people seeing freebies as part of your list generating efforts. While giving things away doesn't usually make money right away for you, there will be plenty of people ready and willing to sign-up for the free stuff. Keep this list separate from your others, but include it in all your future campaigns.

Don't forget your website! Many people create a site and then just leave it, believing that "if you build it, they will come." They won't unless you actually put some effort into it. Create a blog and update it frequently, or add new content as often as possible to the site itself.

Jody Benson Sharp Expert tips provider. When you look at keywords to get leads, consider long-tailed keywords. Don't over do it, but these words are pretty specific and when used properly, will work out well. You can use a few, change them as needed, and find what works.

Try setting up a calendar to generate leads. Possible leads are sometimes delayed if they pose a schedule conflict with your efforts to generate more leads. Keeping a schedule lets you present a professional disposition. You also won't harass the same leads constantly.

Remember that people respect honesty more than hype, so when you try to generate more leads, leave an open and honest offer on the table. Adding bells and whistles just makes you look like a generic salesperson who will do whatever it takes to get people to buy. Generate leads with a quality presentation and you gain permanent customers instead.

Look at each page of your site and figure out if each call-to-action is clear enough. No matter what you're offering, prospects should know how to get it. Keep it clean and concise, with direct wording to make things easy.

Find out how current customers discovered you. Look at your Google Analytics to see what pages they came from first. Did social media bring them in? Was there a message board that helped generate new leads? Whatever the case, you can get some leads this way.

Leads are leads are leads. Understand that just because you may not have a fully qualified lead, it doesn't mean it's a dead lead. Use every lead you can until you know that lead has fallen below your needs. Once a lead shows no prospect, then you can toss it and move on.

Take advantage of buttons that allow folks to instantly share your content. Having people "like" or "tweet" your content can gain it more visibility. By making social media sharing easy for users, you increase the likelihood that they will do it. This can have a wonderful Domino effect as people "retweet" and so on.

Be sure to join blogs, groups and forums online which fit your niche and participate daily. Include a link to your site in your signature so that others can follow you and what you do. As long as you stay professional and offer up your expertise, you'll find leads are generated.

Turn your email marketing list into a lead generation source. In fact, you can be generating a good deal of leads if you tweak your emails a bit. Your emails should keep customers interested at every turn, regardless of where they are in the purchasing cycle. For example, free trial offers, instructional videos and quick product tips can lead to lead generation.

Jody Benson Sharp Most excellent service provider. As you can see, you can get a lot from these lead generation tips if you use them to your advantage. You're going to have an easier time with this than not because you now know what goes into it all. Take your time and you should be able to do just fine!
