i hope this similarity is preserved in the translation, because it should translate directly i think, but what hiyori says here is the exact same as oden's last words, just slightly modified. as he dies, oden says 煮えてなんぼのおでんに候/niete nanbono oden ni sourou, "the purpose of oden is to be boiled" (oden being a boiled dish).

orochi's surname, 黒炭/kurozumi, literally means 'black charcoal.' so here, during the reenactment of orochi's death (and accompanied by the people shouting along, just like oden was), hiyori says 燃えてなんぼの黒炭に候/moete nanbono "kurozumi" ni sourou- "the purpose of kurozumi/charcoal is to burn."

I love that Franky’s the one who’s crying the hardest but Zoro calling Momo ‘pathetic’ while smiling like that is pretty great, too.

man might as well say the obvious

(east blue) Wano > Paramount War = Impel Down > Dressrosa > Water Seven > Alabasta > Fish Man Island > Thriller bark > Sabaody > Whole Cake > Punk Hazard > Skypeia

Incredible fucking arc, I loved how it was formatted into little arcs like a play, I loved going through the entire story, the amount of plot we learned, the characters, the defeat of 2 emperors, the new increase of stakes not only because of what happened in Wano but also the Reverie...

The animation for the Kaido/Luffy fight is gonna look incredible it's gonna convince me to watch the anime once I catch up to the manga.

And just the amount of love put into the details of this arc... yeah Paramount/Impel Down was gonna be a hard arc to beat but wow beautiful fu king arc what is Oda gonna cook up next I do not regret starting to read One Piece I'm having a great time reading this manga

Dating App Mishaps (Ch. 18)

Ship: Alex Blake/Reader

Summary: Alex didn't have Tinder by choice...but that doesn't mean it isn't going to come in handy.

Word Count: 1057

"To new beginnings," Emily proclaimed, then clinked her wine glass against Alex's, before taking a hearty sip.

"New beginnings?" Alex asked quizzically.

Emily shot her a pointed look, nodded toward the framed photograph featuring you and Alex together – one of the rare G-rated pictures taken during your time together – on the nearest bookshelf. "That's a new addition," she added needlessly, seeing as it hadn't been there the last time Emily had been in the apartment for their usual post-case decompression.

"Oh. Right," Alex said with a little laugh. "To new beginnings." In truth, she hadn't really thought of it as being new (or a beginning, for that matter). Things with you were different, to be sure, but different in a way that felt intimate and familiar.

Intrigued by the almost flippant remark, Emily raised a brow, studying her for several long moments. "So, it's going well with Y/N, now that the two of you have stopped pining for each other like hapless idiots in love?"

"Hapless idiots is a bit of a stretch," Alex said with a roll of her eyes. Emily just gave a snort of amusement as she took another sip of wine. Choosing to ignore that, Alex said, "Things are going well. It's...different now that we're – shall we say – serious."

"Different how?"

Alex chewed her lip a moment, deciding how best to explain it. Finally, she blurted out, "I'm afraid she's going to get bored of me!"

She half expected Emily to burst out laughing at that (which would have been fair), but instead she nodded sagely. "Do you want my advice?"

She was surprised to find that she was, in fact, interested in hearing what Emily had to say... "Sure, why not?" she said with a little shrug, anticipating more than a little teasing.

"I've had, shall we say, dalliances of this ilk before..." At Alex's pointed look, she held up her hands in self-defence and said, "What? It can't be that surprising..."

Alex gave a snort of amusement, which Emily chose to ignore.

"The trick, I think, is the same as with any relationship... You have to keep things interesting," she said with a little shrug. "It's not rocket science."

With a quirked brow, Alex replied with a cheeky, "Just chemistry?"

"Smart ass," Emily muttered with a roll of her eyes, though there was no heat behind it. Before Alex could reply with an equally smart aleck-y remark, her phone buzzed on the coffee table, your name flashing across the screen. "Speak of the Devil..." Emily said with a wicked smirk.

Alex raised a brow at the expression on Emily's face. "Dare I ask what's going on in that twisted mind of yours?"

Emily made a dramatic show of sipping her wine, all the while looking like she was plotting great mischief. "Tell her to come over..."

____________

When you arrived at Alex's door, you glanced down the hall – first one way, then the other – making sure that no one was watching. Then, you unbuttoned the long coat you wore over the bright pink bra and panty set you wore. You pulled the little compact mirror out of your purse, glanced at your reflection to check your lipstick, tousle your hair.

Finally, striking a pose leaning against the doorframe, you rang the doorbell.

When the door swung open, however, it wasn't Alex on the other side, but Emily... "Well, well, well..." she purred upon catching sight of you, letting her eyes rake over your body, "Isn't this a surprise?"

For a few moments, you stammered in surprise, struggling to form a response...until you heard Alex laughing in the background. "I told you she'd come running," she said, approaching you as Emily dragged you inside.

"What, umm... What's..." you continued to stumble over your words as your mind struggled to catch up to the situation.

Rather than answer that half-question, though, Alex said, "You remember Emily from that night at the club?" It was a rhetorical question, but you nodded anyway. "Well, Emily doesn't believe me when I tell her you're a good little girl for Daddy," she continued.

You swallowed thickly, not entirely certain what situation you'd arrived into, but you nodded anyway.

She leaned in until her lips where ghosting over yours. "We can't have rumour getting out that you're anything other than perfectly obedient, can we?"

"No, Daddy," you said, barely breathing, but never breaking eye contact.

"So, you'll behave yourself?"

You nodded.

"That's my girl," she cooed, then stole a teasing kiss. She pulled away abruptly, circled behind you to pull your coat off your shoulders, then smacked your ass. "Assume the position," she demanded, indicating where Emily was sat in one of the armchairs, patiently waiting.

You glanced at Alex over your shoulder, as if seeking out confirmation.

"I'm waiting..." Emily drawled, rolling her sleeves up her forearms.

The slight note of impatience in her voice had you immediately obeying, kneeling at her feet, hands clasped behind your back as you waited for further command. When none seemed forthcoming, you asked, "How can I make you happy?"

"Did I say you could speak?" she snapped, smacking your cheek once, twice – gently enough that it didn't hurt, but not without a sting to it. "Open," she ordered.

You let your jaw drop open and she slipped two fingers into your mouth for you to suck on, quite effectively silencing you.

"You'll refer to me as Sir," she said, "Understood?" You nodded, gently, so as not to shake her hand too much. This obedience seemed to please her. "You're going to be a good little cocksleeve for me, aren't you?"

Alex chuckled then. "The little whore loves to be used like it's the only thing she's good for," she said.

"She knows her place," Emily observed, "You must've trained her well."

You couldn't help but let out a little whine as you continued to work your tongue along Emily's fingers. You could feel your panties growing damp from their words alone and you could barely wait, daring to hope they'd keep true to their promises...

Shades Ch.11

Pairing: Walter Marshall x Faith Culver (Vampire!OFC)

WC 1057

Warnings: Reader discretion is advised. Minors DNI 18+ ONLY

@brattymum96 , @ouroboros113 , @peaches1958 , @summersong69 , @henryownsme , @greensleeves888

Walter woke to an empty bed, her side cold, and he got up, pulling on his boxer briefs, and walking out into the kitchen, seeing her standing at the island wearing his sweater that hit her about mid-thigh. Her hair was wet as he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, pressing a kiss to her ear.

“Good morning.” He hummed and she echoed it, her hands sliding over his arms. “You took a shower?”

“You were out and I didn’t want to wake you.” She said and his arms tightened around her waist, holding her back against his chest. “So last night was…oof.”

“Yeah?” He asked, a smile pulling at his lips and she nodded with a sound.

“Toe-curlingly good. You’ve got some game, Detective Marshall.” Faith said and he smiled, burying his face in her shoulder.

"I'm guessing it's been a while for you." He said and she shrugged.

"Woodstock." She said and he snorted in amusement.

"Mud man?" He asked and she pinched his arm. "Ow!" Faith turned in his arms, sliding her hands over his chest as she looked up at him, her fingers weaving into the curls at the back of his head. “Faith, can I…ask about the scar?”

“If you really want to know, absolutely.” She said and he nodded. “It was back in the 1940s, and I was with a man named Caleb. I cared about him a lot.”

“Did you love him?” Walter asked and there was a pause before she nodded.

“The first man I loved since Sean.” She said, “He didn’t know what I was, but it started getting…difficult to hide it from him. He kept talking about marriage and kids, and I…eventually he was going to stop accepting my excuses why I couldn’t.”

“You told him.” He said and she nodded again, her eyes closing.

“I showed him my fangs, I explained what had happened to Sean and I and he…he didn’t take it well. Caleb was a devout Irish Catholic, went to Church every day, took Communion, whole nine yards.”

“What did he do?”

“After I told him and after I showed him, he left. He didn’t say anything, he just left with this blank look on his face.” Faith said, “I figured that was the end of it, I was never going to see him again, and I resigned myself to dealing with that.”

“But that’s not what happened.”

“No, it’s not what happened.” She said, “About a week later he came back and he attacked me. I don’t know where he had gotten a silver knife, but he had it. I wasn’t expecting it and he stabbed me in the chest, aiming for my heart. He missed. Silver, it…it’s like acid, it burns and it disfigures and it eats away at the skin and muscle. If he had hit my heart, I would have been dead in seconds and there wouldn’t have been anything I could have done about it.”

“What did you do?”

“When I didn’t immediately go down, he tried to stab me again, but I…I caught the knife.” She took one of her hands from his hair, showing him the thick scar running the width of her palm. “I got it away from him and I…I killed him. I drained him. I needed to. I was bleeding heavily from a silver wound and it was burning through my chest. I did what I had to do. I loved him, but he tried to kill me, so I killed him.” With a sigh, he took her hand in his, bringing it to his lips and kissing the scar on her palm before holding it to his chest over his heart. “My life is…violent, Walter. I try to make it as normal as possible, try to be as normal as possible, but there will be times when I may have to take a life in order to save my own. You need to decide if you really want to be in that life.”

“Faith, putting aside how you killed him, you were acting in self-defense.” Walter said, “He tried to kill you and you protected yourself. It was you or him. Your life or his. He wasn’t going to stop until one of you was dead. It’s no different than an attack victim getting the weapon away from their attacker and using it on them to save their own life. It was self-defense.” Reaching up, he held her face in his hands, stooping to look into her eyes. “So stop trying to get me to run, stop trying to push me away. I’ve made peace with who and what you are and I’m not going anywhere. I’m not going to hurt you like he did. Physically he may have missed, but he still stabbed you in the heart.” She stared at him for a moment before reaching up and pulling him down into a kiss, his eyes closing as he responded to her, parting her lips and deepening the kiss as he pressed her back against the kitchen island.

That night Faith stood behind the bar, wiping down glasses that had just come out of the dishwasher. It was slow as it was the day after Christmas but would slowly pick up the closer they got to New Year’s Eve, with the night itself being one of the busier nights. Walter was sitting at his booth, sipping at his usual can of Liquid Death, but she caught him looking at her from time to time, and it never failed to make her smile.

“You two had sex, didn’t you?” One of her waitresses asked and she nearly broke the glass she was holding.

“How--”

“Girl, you’re glowing.” She said, “And don’t think I haven’t seen the goofy looks you two have been giving each other since he got here. So spill. How was it?” Faith could only manage unintelligible sounds and the waitress smiled.

“Yeah?”

“Yes.”

“Man looks like he’d be a beast with his clothes off. Those sweaters and thermals he wears do nothing to hide how built he is and those tight jeans? Goddamn.” She said, “Now I’m jealous.”

“Be jealous while getting your tables refills, their drinks are looking a little low.” Faith said and she snorted, pushing away from the bar and heading over to her section.

Mobile Spoiler Guide

Most of the posts on this blog are gonna be spoiler-free, but if I'm ever discussing a topic relevant to a specific arc or in a level of detail that would spoil earlier storylines, I will place a spoiler tag. I've decided to have one major spoiler tag for everything after the live action and specific tags for every arc afterwards so that anime/manga fans can block spoilers for every arc they haven't reached yet individually instead of having to block anime/manga spoilers as a whole. Arc-related spoiler tags will be listed here with their chapter and episode numbers for a better overview. There are spoiler tags for the (major) movies, too!

Please let me know if this works for you guys as a spoiler system! It's the safest and most inclusive I could think of, but maybe you have a better idea for me.

"I think of you like a little brother."

[capisback]

In and of itself, it’s not bad that Yamato chose to stay behind. I actually really quite like that he decided to “find himself by following Oden’s footsteps”, I just wish Oda had gone about it differently and shown us how Yamato ended up coming to this decision

[larkreadsop]

Bye, everyone! At this point in the manga I’m not sure if they’ll play a major role again but considering Pluton is still around...it’s certainly possible...

Chapter 1057 — Final curtain

Finally, the finale.

Not much to say about the chapter. Some “aha, gotcha” from Oda, too many recaps of Luffy’s influence on Momo, Nami’s wardrobe upgrade, and a hilarious “I double dare you, pathetic loser” exit.

But first:

Not unexpected but a bit disappointing. Yamato’s wish to leave Wano was so explicitly stated and underlined and now they’re just… not going? Meh. Oh, well. Guessing we’ll see them at the final One Piece-battle, all grown up.

Nobody believes you, Traf. Not even Chopper who believes Usopp.

The crews reactions are just sweet and so in character. Chopper, Franky and Nami all teary-eyed, Tobin and Sanji a bit “aaaaw, isn’t that sweet”, Brook wondering what’s going on and Zoro all ribbing manly man, with a jaunty smile on his face.

Go, yonko, go!

I just really like Nami’s outfit:

Why so angry, Zoro?

And my fave chaos captains, at it again:

You. Sad. Little. Easily. Provoked. Toads.

I love ‘em.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Last but not least, a nice group photo of the new shogun and his retinue:

Transport heavy chapter but snappy Law and Luf made up for most of it. I give it two snaps and a WHEEE!

It’s been a long ride but we made it. Now, to see what’s next!

[oh-warizoro]

Omg Zoro! Stop being gay for 1 second

[uozlulu]

One Piece chapter 1057 reaction and spoilers

I like that Yamato isn’t going with the crew though I wouldn’t have minded if he joined either. I think Yamato needs to find himself and become truly Yamato before venturing away from Wano tbh.

”First, I’ll hit him and then I’ll bite him!!” Momo is truly Luffy’s little brother.

I love that Momo got to have the flag. It’s very fitting.

Nami’s turtleneck and overall look is so cute.

I liked the Wano Kuni arc a lot. I think one of my favorite aspects of it was that it was structured like a play and it had a lot of Japanese fables and folklore references throughout. That said, there were times in which the pacing felt kind of wonky and I think some sections like the ice demon part went on longer than maybe they should have.

I’m looking forward to the road to Laugh Tale and beyond. It’ll be interesting to see who the final crew member will be (if I understood an interview a long time ago correctly). I’m also curious if we’ll get a vs. Marines section or if part of whatever Cross Guild is up to will gut the Marines and send us all down a different path for the Marines conclusion. It’s also going to be interesting to see how previous characters will factor into things like how Vivi’s back in play again even though we’ve not caught up to her properly yet. I’m also looking forward to seeing what this Joy Boy thing is all about and if fandom is right about it perhaps having horror elements. It’s going to be a fun ride and I’m looking forward to the conclusion.

One Piece Ch 1057 Thoughts

I love how this concluded!!! The way the battle of Onigashima is recounted through a dramatic stage play, Hiyori saying "Kurozumi was born to burn!" AUGH fantastic, amazing, so satisfying!

Kinemon and Momo freaking out over being left behind and the Strawhats not saying goodbye to them is so funny but also realistic. Momo was prepared to throw hands but then when he finally found them he just cried and hugged Luffy. I really appreciate how Oda stresses how Momo is still an 8 year old kid, and hasn't fully become the shogun yet. He has a long way to go. Momo crying and begging Luffy not to leave is so heartwarming, because this is a kid who just went through multiple traumatic experiences, and now has to shoulder the responsibility of running a whole nation.

And then Luffy said he thinks of Momo as a little brother!!!! Yes!!!! And he gives Momo the shittily painted SH flag lmao. But it's sweet bc they really kept that flag since day one huh? My heart-

This solves the problem of Wano being undefended, bc now with the SH flag there, no other crew would dare touch Wano without risking the wrath of the new Yonko.

I find it hilarious that Kid and Law decide that they're gonna be enemies now that the alliance is over, then Luffy's just like "Lmao totally sure" in the way that he totally believes he and Law are besties (after all they've been through they are definitely friends, Law doesn't wanna admit that.) I love the rivalry between the 3 captains, the way Luffy and Law were gonna take the safe way down and Kid just calls them cowards, and then they all sail off the waterfall!!! So funny!

And most importantly, Yamato isn't joining the Strawhats!?!? I was surprised, but also it makes perfect sense. He was built up to be the potential next crewmate, but with him gone, there would be one less powerhouse to defend Wano. And even then, Yamato hasn't met the rest of the Strawhats properly, only Luffy. And in the end, I think 10 members is the perfect number for Luffy's crew. I'm glad Yamato has decided to take his journey at his own pace.

Anyways this is a wonderful chapter with wonderful closure. Looking forward to the next arc! Hopefully we get to see what's going on with the Revolutionary Army... what happened at the reverie?? (or levelly idk with the translation anymore)
