dps boys & spending a day at the lake with them

summary ; what it would be like to spend a day at the lake with each of the poets
words ; 900
a/n ; just graduated and finally have time to write again, so I hope you enoy this little summer-themed thing! (w my favorite grump richard)

richard cameron he would make sure you put on sunscreen and drink enough water. he doesn't want you to be dehydrated, especially on such a hot day. deff judges the people whose skin is already burnt to a crisp. "you see that guy over there? he looks like a crab" "richard!" "what? it's true! I just don't get the people who don't put on sunscreen. it's like... do you want to look like that?" he teaches you how to skip rocks and braids your hair so it doesn't get tangled in the water. when you want to go for a swim, he's reading the newspaper, fixated on that one article talking about that new playground being built in your neighborhood and you literally have to snap him out of his trance and beg him to go in the water with you. eventually, he does go with you but you literally have to pry that article from his hands.
"do you realize they're going to build it right next to our house?"
to be fair, out of all the guys he'd be the first one to notice your new bikini and compliment you on it.
before you leave, he will be adamant on making sure you didn't leave any trash behind and that your spot is clean. if there's any other trash or stumped out cigarettes around you, he will pick everything up and complain about the ignorant people destroying the environment (while shaking his head like a disappointed dad). gerard pitts he's so excited when you get to the lake!! would spend hours in the water with you, just playing around, diving and watching the fish, snorkeling or playing with a ball. the two of you would collect seashells and pretty stones. you would also totally do the trend where you take pearls / stones similar to the other's eye color to make a bracelet out of it. also, if you ask, he'd totally be down to build a sand castle. makes it really detailed too and builds up a whole story behind the knight & princess living in it. he even finds two seashells to represent them and is like "look, babe, it's us!" charlie dalton he's ready to have fun!! he races you to the water and throws you into the waves. also will literally play mermaids with you no questions asked. probably gets sunburnt pretty fast because he forgot to put on sunscreen (and yes he will complain about it the entire week). after he's already spent hours in the sun, he will ask you to put sunscreen on his back with the biggest, proudest smile ever, thinking he's slick.
also, charlie is literally like that one instagram trend where the guy is like "waiting for my girlfriend to finish putting on my sunscreen so I can go play pirates in the water" or something like that lol knox overstreet this man has to keep his tan up! it's not a skin color it's a lifestyle bryan! (who got that reference??) no seriously, he's the type to lay down on the beach and tan rather than spend hours in the water. he will take the occasional dip though and complain that the water's too cold. I can also see y'all being one of those yoga couples at the beach who do those weird couple positions (I'M SORRY BUT I CAN TOTALLY SEE THAT WITH HIM LMAO) steven meeks bro he literally geeks out over the algae at the beach cause he recently read about it!! he holds a piece up to your face and says: "here babe, try, this one's edible" and you're like: "stevie, that literally looks like regurgitated grass"
"what? no it does not! come on, try just a little bit! it's really good, I promise"
"no!"
"come on, yn!", he begs, laughing and wiggling the algae in front of your face. he definitely chases you around the beach with it. the two of you do crossword puzzles and play uno, in which both of you get weirdly competitive. you'd lay down the +4 card and he'd be gasping and clutching his chest like you'd just brutally wounded him.
"do you not love me anymore?"
"just take the four cards and shut up"
it's all in good fun though. and yes, of course he gets sunburn. he's ginger, what did you expect? plus he doesn't put on 10 layers of sunscreen like cameron, so yes, he burns. shrugs it off tho. he also brings his radio and you guys just listen to music. todd anderson with him it's a pretty chill day, just reading, enjoying nature. you watch clouds together, cuddling. he'd also want to explore the area a little, like taking a look at the forest that's nearby or getting ice cream. he also takes his camera with him, taking loads of cute pictures of you. definitely frames them and puts them up in his office. neil perry if you're both actors you're taking your scripts with you to practice along with looaads of snacks! he's also soo extroverted at the beach, like he's asking random strangers if they wanna play volleyball with you or if you're missing an extra person for the script if they wanna practice with you. so you're just sitting on your picnic blanket, making friends with some random person rehearsing lines with you. your boyfriend's just sociable like that! but if you'd want it to be just the two of you, he'd also respect that! he's like charlie, playful and just wanting to have fun with you!

hi juno !!! 🍊 & 🥖 for the dr u want !!
hiiii venus thank you for the ask !! i will be answering this for about my beloved john from my justice league reality 🌱



🥖 : what is your s/o's love language? (physical touch, words of affirmation etc)
john’s primary love language is physical touch, but he also adores words of affirmation (even when he pretends he doesn’t) … he hides a lot of himself from most of the people around him, and being able to see how deeply he cares and gives is such a gift. whenever one of us gets home after a long day, his first response is a hug, paired with some annoyingly charming nonsense. he has a way of making me smile every time, but to be fair, his accent makes everything he says sound wonderful to me idk!
john has many “rational” reasons for all of his acts of physical touch as well, they make me laugh. instead of holding hands while walking somewhere, we interlock pinkies instead, because he thinks it’s much easier to walk that way and he gets to still have that physical contact. he brushes my hair every single morning so that he can run his fingers through it without running into tangles (he insists this is to make it easier for himself, he’s saving himself the trouble of getting his fingers caught or something like that). he is so lovely.
🍊 : what kind of date would your s/o organize for you. Are they more of a restaurant date lover or just the kind to cook you your fav dish?
john is (lovingly) not a planner most of the time. he does his best work under pressure + time constraints, and my god is it impressive (see also: john preventing multiple apocalypses from occurring because that is some
how when he does his best work?). when it comes to me, that is one of the only times he plans ahead. we screwed up with this once, and now both of us are so dedicated to actually making things work and putting effort in. this being said: his spontaneous dates are some of the most… memorable, to say the least (even if not having a plan stresses me out sometimes …. i need to put things in my calendar!)
john randomly swept us to paris with no prior planning once. it was like 6pm for us but it was midnight in france because of time difference ( oops ). we ended up just wandering around the city after dark for a couple hours, getting a hotel room somewhere close, then waking up to find a cute cafe for breakfast! it was so sweet and reminded me how the universe lays a lot of pieces into place for us wherever we go; we both tend to run very unlucky on our own, but together, things always seem to work in our favor <3
anyway. john is better with simple meals for nights in, he does an excellent breakfast-for-dinner spread. he has also managed to memorize every single one of my go-to takeout orders from multiple restaurants, so he brings those home for me when i am having a shitty day. he has learned how to make a few of my favorite meals, but cooking for us is always one of my favorite hobbies as a nature witch who grows all of her own ingredients & herbs! i do most of the cooking, but he takes care of the cleanup and putting everything away after ❤️

ok, so most of the whump prompts i see are for a very specific sort of whump, namely the classic type where you got a whumpee who gets kidnapped by a whumper and then tortured in their basement, to paraphrase.
i want to specify btw that i’m not hating. those whump prompts are super cool and awesome and i love those :D
anyways. my point. i just don’t really see a lot of content for the type of whump that i do with my favorite OC, so i’m just gonna start posting some :))
note: the type of whump that i usually do is what i’m calling impersonal whump.. basically where the whumpee is kidnapped by someone who doesn’t really care, there’s probably more than one whumper, and they don’t really talk and the whumper isn’t trying to torture them. but whumpee does most likely end up in pain. whumpee’s more like livestock than special pet in the basement.
in my case with my OC, she got kidnapped and shipped off with a bunch of other kids to what i’m calling the Rapture.. which is basically the Maw under a different name. this is heavily Little Nightmares inspired. anyways nobody’s really out to get her specifically, but they do want her dead. (what the place does is they kidnap tons of children to slaughter them and feed them to the guests)
i hope this makes sense. and there’s definitely other ways to do impersonal whump other than the cannibal cruise ship i just listed, but most of my prompts will probably be about that because yes :D
trigger warning: cannibalism, blood/gore, stabbing, things like that idk. wait also kid whumpee
impersonal whump prompts (cannibal cruise ship edition)
while on the ship
whumpee breaks down sobbing and just has an absolute meltdown in the first hidden, safe room they find. all the stress has really been getting to them lately and they just wanna go home.
CONTEXT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE: if you don’t know Little Nightmares, look up ‘little nightmares guests’ and go to images. I picture them as being about the size of a car
whumpee has snuck into a room that has a sleeping Guest in it with their friend. whumpee goes off to get a key, while the friend decides to get a closer look at the sleeping Guest.. who ends up waking up and literally swallowing them whole. cue poor whumpee who ends up grabbing a knife and cutting their friend out
now whumpee is in a similar situation as the previous one, only they’re alone, and this time they swallowed whole by a Guest. however luckily they manage to grab a knife off the counter as they’re being grabbed, and they clutch it to their chest and squeeze their eyes shut.. and then they have to cut themselves out or die :))
whumpee gets tossed in a pot with a lid that can’t be opened from the inside. cue panic as the water starts rapidly heating up as they beat on the walls and try to find a way out.
whumpee running from HORDES of Guests.
whumpee is caught by one of the chefs.. carried off kicking and screaming.. slammed onto a cutting board.. and they freeze and stare above them with wide eyes as they see the butcher knife descend towards them. maybe they close their eyes and turn their head to the side so they don’t see it happening.
whumpee and their friend did nearly escape together, but unfortunately they’d had a fight beforehand and whumpee’s friend ends up dropping them into the fucking ocean. thanks a lot Taj (lolll not me calling out my character who did that 😭)
that ‘oh shit’ moment seconds before disaster
whumpee’s friend ate a piece of meat once before they found out it was made out of other children.. needless to say the friend cried and threw up when they found out, and whumpee, through their horror, was kinda smug about it in an ‘i told you so’ sort of way, because they’d had a bad feeling about that meat and had tried to warn their friend but they laughed it off
blood. blood everywhere. is it whumpee’s blood?? probably, but who knows really. just blood :D
whumpee has to patch up their gaping wounds all by themself every time they get injured. (unless they have a friend with them idk) there are usually bottles of mystery alcohol everywhere, so they usually clean out their wounds with that, and it HURTS. then they either stitch it up and bandage it, or just bandage it, depending on how bad the wound is
whumpee was tossed onto the cutting board, a knife or large fork or something driven through their torso to hold them there. whumpee, who is very very tired, doesn’t have the willpower to yank it out immediately. instead they just watch the chef go do something else while they’re immobilized. do they end up being able to pull it out and escape?? who knows. this is where i’m going to leave them. (but seriously the look of exhaustion and resignation in their eyes?? an absolute winner)
whumpee is stabbed or something, and they are crying and bleeding and desperately trying to hold the wound shut as blood pours everywhere and their guts threaten to fall out
after escape
even after escaping, they’re always paranoid. what if someone comes and takes them back? what if the meat sold in all the supermarkets actually comes from that place?? EVERYONE IS EATING HUMAN CHILDREN PROBABLY
whumpee is a very strict vegetarian now, out of trauma. they won’t even eat fake meat. it stresses them the fuck out whenever anyone eats meat in their presence.
it feels like everyone is just out to trigger them for some reason! between their parents playing that one stupid kids movie where the one stupid character gets eaten by a stupid dinosaur onscreen, and constantly being forced to go and hang out with people at restaurants, and being invited on a cruise ship?? LIKE WHAT THE HELL
maybe whumpee’s on vacation or at a hotel or something. someone invites them to come hang out in the hot tub.. whumpee agrees, goes to get in with them, and then immediately blanches back from the hot water and scrambles out, suddenly overwhelmed with flashbacks to that one time they got tossed in a pot.
hoodies. all they wear is hoodies. they have so many scars underneath that it looks like they got mauled.. several times.
they wake up screaming from nightmares a lot.
ok but like imagine the flashbacks/trauma potential for if some reason whumpee had to go to a butcher shop.. like maybe they had to go pick up an order, or go with a friend to pick up their order, or something, but they go in and within like five minutes they’re breaking down and running.

This was a nice sequence to get, and an odd challenge? Animating Clancey bouncing up and down like that subtly while talking and acting was a bit more difficult than I had expected, but it was fun to work it out. Its subtle, but it took more thought than I had expected.
I also included the final cleaned up shot for fun, and also to show that all the shading work I had done was for nothing LOL thats how it is sometimes!
#asharts#animation#the midnight gospel#midnight gospel#sometimes you do work and it gets cut!!!!#thats the way it is baebeee#this was one of my favorite pieces from this show for a while#even tho theres a lot of small scenes I felt like I did a good job on#sometimes the subtle stuff is the most rewarding#sometimes I lament the fact that I havent been able to 2D animate on a show in a real capacity for a while#because the memories of this show were really good despite a couple flaws in the system#it is what it is

i just woke up from a nap and: kazulie and amethos rings :(


#`✦. 𝓓𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐖𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐅𝐀𝐓𝐄. ╱ ❛ fallen sunset.#`✧. 𝓣𝐔𝐍𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐔𝐒𝐓. ╱ ❛ amethyst dreamt.#i went on twitter and saw a favorite artist of mine upload a xiaolumi love child piece and for some reason i had a burst of baby fever ..#not in an irl sense but in regards to kazulie and amethos which then got me to brain rotting marriage and now here we are lmao#i love both silver and gold jewlery so the fact these both can go to a respective couple is a win in my book!#whether it’s the former or the latter both parties aren’t that big on having such extravagent things ..#therefore i feel their rings would be simpistic but also very pretty at the time <3#in kazuha’s case the gold rings were picked out with amélie in mine; something /she/ would like & basically dedicated to her …#hence the touch of blue because i feel zuha even just as a person is one who often considers others first before himself not out of …#obligation or a need to but it’s just something that has always come to him naturally or doesn’t even realize he’s doing so.#with romantic relationships he’s /definitely/ the type to spoil + care for the other because again he just wants to & besides from words ...#showing acts of love/affection are just as significant even if they are silent ones which is frequent for his rs with amélie#sethos’ silver rings meanwhile were thought of with both individuals in mind as in ‘what represents us both’ or …#‘what accurately depicts /our/ love’ and that is why the rings have those little moon and star engravings on it …#and the way they’re engraved on the opposite rings makes it so much more better in this case🥺#especially since i often say that amélie is the moon while sethos is her star like-#‘you are a part of me just as much as i am a part of you’ …💔💔 i make myself cry sometimes#aaa this could’ve been a post instead i didnt think i was going to ramble this much sorry 😭

so i had this lying around and thought to share it. it has music on different languages and genres, so it isn't like a specific vibe. i just put any song i think law would dedicate to luffy or viceversa. if you have any suggestions of songs or something that you think are lawlu coded, please respost or send an ask or anything. i just want to love my babies.
(i think it is interesting to think of the ocean's sunset as a place. luffy would make it possible, i am sure of that)
when i have time i'll describe why i put each song and an in-depth analysis of he lyrics so stay tuned i guess xd
#one piece#monkey d. luffy#trafalgar d. water law#trafalgar law#luffy#law x luffy#luffy x law#lawlu#lulaw#one piece lulaw#one piece lawlu#lawluffy#spotify#spotify playlist#they are my everything like#my fave comfort characters from my favorite comfort anime#and my favourite aroace couple and aaAaAaaaAaaaaA#im definitely normal#im so normal about them#Spotify

A Rough Outline of A Female Character-Focused Punk Hazard/Dressrosa (and on) Rewrite, mostly starring Tashigi but starting with Reiju:
So Reiju sneaks into Punk Hazard wearing Sanji's unused Stealth Black Suit to investigate SMILE fruits under Judge's orders. She goes alone because regular Germa grunts can't handle the hazardous conditions in and around the island and her brothers are you know, busy being soldiers. I think also none of them have the self-control and discernment that she has, so she's the only one who could cut it as a spy.
I'd have to reread the arc to get the details right, but my loose idea is the only people she'd interact with directly is one of the children, perhaps Mocha, and Tashigi, who suspiciously attempts to apprehend her. I think Reiju would pretty easily talk her way out of that, and have fun flirtatiously teasing her and getting her riled up. She'd be utterly calm and unbothered when Tashigi brandishes a sword at her neck, so despite only knowing her briefly it would still be shocking for Tashigi to witness Reiju's cool composure momentary crack when together they uncover the forced genetic experimentation on the children. (Something Reiju obviously has a personal stake in.)
When Reiju pulls herself back together a moment later, pushing down her feelings and putting the uncaring mask back on, pretending her face never betrayed her and there was nothing special or particularly upsetting about the situation, Tashigi would be outraged at her pretend apathy. But the best part is that after her initial shocked angry yelling, she'd remember the brief horrified expression, the flash of anger in her eyes coolly put away, and decide her apathy is all fake and call her the fuck out.
Reiju threatens to prove her own sadism, moving toward one of the oblivious children menacingly, before suddenly feeling the lack of Germa's judgement on her. The closed doors, the lack of cameras. Just Tashigi's eyes burning into hers. She falters and pulls back. Before pushing away from the group, ignoring them, and going back to trying to find an exit. She doesn't make herself invisible again yet though. Having someone suspect her as not the cruel mercenary she pretends to be is very dangerous, but doesn't want those eyes, that have yet to fill with hatred, off of her yet. It's a new and rare sensation to be regarded so clearly and she allows herself to feel it for just awhile longer, far away from Germa, in an isolated lab.
We never see the process of Tashigi joining Sword, a part of The Navy that isn't obligated to follow all orders. However, I imagine her dissatisfaction with the bulk of The Navy began when it was The Strawhats, not them, who freed Alabasta from a World Government sanctioned tyrant. She still works with Smoker, still respects him, so she hasn't needed to move elsewhere yet. But in Punk Hazard, his continual disrespect of her grates. It makes it much more difficult for her to deal with the horror that once again innocent people were harmed at the WG's behest, and once again saved by pirates instead of The Navy. The undeniable evidence in front of her in the form of kidnapped, drug-addicted children in a cold lab makes being berated for being clumsy and stupid by her equally culpable boss just unbearable.
Maybe there's a moment where Mocha comforts a younger blonde boy and Reiju allows some of her pain to slip through as she watches them. Maybe Tashigi tries to give her a hand of comfort, and Reiju briefly leans into it before pulling away and brushing her off. Maybe when she says goodbye to Tashigi and good luck on her journey to bring the kids back home she's the most genuine and open she's been the whole time and the light in her face is breathtaking. Maybe Tashigi thinks about her often afterwards, wondering why she was the way she was, wondering what's trapping her.
It turns out that many of the children were kidnapped from Dressrosa, as they didn't have any family (apparently) to miss them. Tashigi brings them last, and immediately notices there is something terribly amiss when she brings them to their empty homes and they have no explanation or distress for the evidence that once there were caring adults who lived here, a long time ago. Perhaps her investigation lands her in the gladiator pit, where she meets Viola. I think being branded as a criminal "despite doing nothing wrong" would not immediately upend her black-and-white thinking, as neither did a single day with the clearly tortured Reiju, but combined, with now witnessing two major failures of The Navy made up for by kindness of The Strawhats, Tashigi would start to have some major internal conflict at this point.
Viola, meanwhile, is in the gladiator pit because her guilt drives her to self-punishment, and her desire to save Rebecca, (Becca 5, in this au, as I think Rebecca and Baby 5 would be more narratively effective and less stereotypical if they were collapsed into one character that explores the oppression of the country and the oppression of Doffy's family simultaneously) drives her to try to get stronger. Like other open rebellions by Doffy Family members this is amusedly tolerated and never taken seriously.
I think Viola and Tashigi would have an extremely emotionally charged battle, arguing while physically clashing, Viola taunting Tashigi for not being able to understand the situation she is in, for being just another Marine who only knows how to think like a Marine, for thinking of herself as a hero while being part of the same Navy that has repeatedly failed to save the people of her country. Tashigi asks her "Save them from what? Save them from you?" And Viola is SO ANGRY. "How dare you come in here and blame me for doing the best I can in a terrible situation that you don't know the first thing about?" And Tashigi puts down her sword, making herself defenseless to Viola's incoming lethal strike. She stops. And Tashigi apologizes. And asks her "What terrible situation? Please tell me about it. Please let me help." And Viola wavers, saying "I can't accept help from The Marines." And Tashigi says "Then let me help as Tashigi, someone cares about the children that were kidnapped from this country, and is trying to bring them back to their homes."
AAANND that's how Koala and Nami get involved! Nami, watching the fight, is alarmed to find out that the children from Punk Hazard are here and still in danger. She decides Tashigi needs help and runs down to her. Koala, also watching the fight, is 1) bored of waiting around for Sabo and 2) very interested to see anyone rebel against The Marines.
This is the part where I can't make up any more details without accidentally overwriting things that I don't even remember that might be worth working in, but I can't stop, so basically: I want the four of them to pursue their own side objective in the course of the larger overall goal, and in doing so have all their dynamics and parallels explored.
Nami recognizing her past self in Viola being forced to work for the destroyer of her family, being angry at her for giving up and just as easily supporting her and encouraging her when she decides to fight back directly. Unfortunately The Strawhats all seem to be allergic to sharing their own backstories, except Usopp, (love u storytelling king❤️), so it would be hard for Nami and Koala to realize what they have in common. BUT GOD I WANT IT SOOO BAAAAD. Perhaps Viola talks shit about all the warlords and includes Jinbei, and both Nami and Koala angrily jump to defend him. I think Koala would share her connection with The Sun Pirates more easily, as someone who wants to improve the reputation of Fishmen overall. That's when Nami is like oh my god you're Koala!!!! Jinbei told us about you!!!! And they talk about it very joyfully.
I think probably Nami would ask her what happened to her and what is she doing these days and Koala just straight up tells her LOL. In front of Tashigi, known Marine, and everything. I know Koala is SMART enough to be evasive but I do think that her brashness and urge To Bother is big enough that she'd do it anyways. Like Oh Tashigi does that make you uncomfortable? :) Don't worry I'm not going to try to kill you if you don't try to kill me :) Haha!
Meanwhile Tashigi is already having her assumptions challenged in a Big Way as someone who was DEFINITELY taught to fear Fishmen as a Navy Soldier so then hearing that Koala is part of the REV ARMY just basically overloads her system. Nami and Viola are laughing and giggling and the atmosphere is so light and they've already been allied and fought together for awhile so Tashigi feels fucking crazy. Like ok this might as well happen. I don't know fuck all actually. Is the sky blue? If I look up will the sky still be blue? I don't even care anymore OK. Like. OKAY!
She is too dazed to even protest more than very weakly and totally unheard as they simply Move On! Okay that was fun let's go back to planning Doffy's downfall haha!
So I imagine they do two tag team battles, Tashigi and Viola vs. Some Doffy Family Fuckhead, which is fun because they get to bring everything they learned about each other's moves from fighting against each other in the beginning to fighting TOGETHER in a very satisfying way. And Nami and Koala vs. Some Other Doffy Family Fuckhead which is fun because I think Koala is smart enough to keep up with Nami's weather tricks and I think they would simply have a blast together. They're laughing and winking at each other from across the battlefield while beating some poor man to a pulp.
I think before Tashigi and Viola begin their fight they come across Law, and Viola and him immediately Get Into It. Viola angry at Law and Cora for leaving Becca 5 behind, Law having survivor's guilt that he's too angry to process, getting mad at Viola for criticizing Cora even though he wonders why too, feels bad about it too. Getting angry at Viola for not doing anything herself, for letting Becca 5 be clueless all these years. I imagine the two of them, Law and Becca 5, as the only children in the Doffy Family, would have a much closer and more important relationship than depicted in canon. If he's not just trying to avenge Cora, but also free someone he sees as an abandoned sister, I think that could be very tragic and compelling.
And Viola breaks down first, because she knows she didn't tell Becca 5 because she was too afraid to cross Doffy in a way that would get herself killed, and she begs him to leave saving Becca 5 to her, that she's finally strong enough to do it. When he agrees and entrusts the task to her she cries more with the meaning of that trust, before heading off with determination. (In a very typical One Piece fashion.)
But when Tashigi and Viola win their fight, and they're weak and battered and bloody, and finally able to go find Becca 5 and tell her the truth, that's when Becca 5 shows up. And before Viola can begin to explain, she sees the beaten body of the other Doffy Family Member and attacks in rage. There's no way they could win this fight, both of them are seriously injured and exhausted. But right as Becca 5 fires her first shot, Usopp succeeds in breaking the spell. And Becca falls to her knees as her memories flood back.
And you know what fuck everything it's her MOTHER actually that was turned into a toy and secretly tried to raise her and protect her. We can sacrifice one father in order to save one mother from joining the ranks of endless dead one piece moms, it's worth it.
And I think this whole experience changes things for Tashigi. She's finally forced to face the fact that her Righteous Navy Officer - Innocent Civilian - Unforgivable Criminal trinary is not an accurate or kind reflection of the world. That if she had acted as an uncompromising Marine she never would have understood and befriended Viola, or Koala, or Nami. She never would have been able to reunite the children with their forgotten families. So when, shortly after this, she finds out about Reiju being a member of Germa, she decides to abandon her post and go find her and free her. And she's able to make more friends along the way that she couldn't have before, notably Pudding, and succeed in convincing Reiju to defect and go out to sea together as two people who want to right the wrongs of their past and make the world a better place. (And maybe fall in love...)
Maybe together they could go to Wano, and Reiju would get to experience helping to free a country while acting on her heart, in defiance of a lifetime of coldly burning them down on her father's orders. She could befriend Hiyori as two women who have held their families' complicated legacies on their backs and had to put up a cruel front to survive. Also there would be more opportunities for Law's fanboy antics, which would be funny.
Tashigi could find her place in a culture that truly values swords and created many of the ones that she chases, could prove herself as an honorable and capable swordswoman to gain acceptance, could befriend O-Kiku, and stay after the battle is won to receive special training, learn more sword related history, and help rebuild.
Maybe later they learn of Pudding being kidnapped and go after her. I don't need them to be in the main Egghead/Elbalf plot, but I am sick of Tashigi having to be in the background of The Navy B plot. And Reiju being relegated to cover stories. They should both be changing the story under their own wills! And meeting and helping women!
