#colours are blue/grapefruit/peach

[ophionyx]

Sooo I usually don't like bright blue + orange combinations but somehow this girl happened and I love her? Accent is Ornj by Macintalk.

This is Felicity, a dragon who used to work in a quarantine zone where she discovered her love of growing crops. She tends an orchard now far away from the Scarred Wasteland, but her harvest, while plentiful, is always a little... strange.

Blueberry - 蓝莓 (lán méi)

Cranberry - 蔓越莓 (màn yuè méi) Note: literally translates to 'creeping berry'.

Raspberry - 树莓 (shù méi) Note: literally translates to 'tree berry'.

Strawberry - 草莓 (cǎo méi) Note: literally translates to 'grass berry'.

Açaí - 巴西莓 (bā xī méi) Note: literally translates to 'Brazilian berry'.

Mulberry - 桑葚 (sāng shèn)

Elderberry - 接骨木莓 (jiē gǔ mù méi)

Goji berry - 枸杞 (gǒu qǐ) Citruses 🍎 Blood orange - 血橙 (xiě chéng)

Tangerine - 柑橘 (gān jú)

Grapefruit - 西柚 (xī yòu) Note: literally translates to 'Western pomelo'.

Kumquat - 金橘 (jīn jú) Note: literally translates to 'golden tangerine'.

Lemon - 柠檬 (níng méng)

Lime - 青柠 (qīng níng) Note: Chinese people have a name for a blue-green colour: 青色 which is 'cyan' in English. Technically, limes in Chinese literally translate to 'cyan lemons'. However, you may not recognize limes as particularly blue/cyan. Chinese people have a slightly different understanding of colour because historically, they didn't separate between green and blue, which is common amongst many East Asians in general. Nowadays they obviously do but may disagree with non-Chinese people on what constitutes 'green' or 'blue'.

Yuzu - 香橙 (xiāng chéng)

Orange - 橙子 (chéng zǐ)

Pomelo - 柚子 (yòu zǐ) Melons 🍉 Cantaloupe - 甜瓜 (tián guā) Note: it's hard to find a direct translation for the cantaloupe and honeydew as some translate 甜瓜 into muskmelon and 哈密瓜 into hami melon. Others translate cantaloupe or honeydew into 洋香瓜 (foreign fragrant melon).

Honeydew - 哈密瓜 (hā mì guā)

Watermelon - 西瓜 (xī guā) Misc. 🍒 Apricot - 杏 (xìng)

Cherry - 樱桃 (yīng táo)

Banana - 香蕉 (xiāng jiāo)

Durian - 榴莲 (liú lián)

Starfruit - 杨桃 (yáng táo)

Asian pear - 苹果梨 (píng guǒ lí) Note: literally translates to 'apple pear'.

Passionfruit - 百香果、热情果 (bǎi xiāng guǒ, rè qíng guǒ) Note: most people will use the first translation but the second is more fun.

Coconut - 椰子 (yē zi)

Dragonfruit - 火龙果 (huǒ lóng guǒ) Note: literally translates to 'fire dragon fruit'.

Grape - 葡萄 (pú táo)

Nectarine - 油桃 (yóu táo) Note: literally translates to 'oil peach'.

Pomegranate - 石榴 (shí liú) Note: people typically do not pronounce the last character with a tone so you probably don't have to bother either.

Kiwi - 猕猴桃 (mí hóu táo) The reason why kiwis have such a strange name is because of a story (unsure of veracity): mountain people in China originally thought the fruit was poisonous. Thus, they didn't eat it until they saw macaques (猕猴) eating them. That's why they're called 'macaque fruits' (猕猴桃). Uncommon Fruits 🍅 Cactus pear - 仙人掌梨 (xiān rén zhǎng lí)

Calabash - 葫芦 (hú lú)

Date - 枣 (zǎo)

Fig - 无花果 (wú huā guǒ) Note: literally translates to 'flowerless fruit'.

Jackfruit - 菠萝蜜 (bō luó mì) Note: literally translates to 'pineapple honey'.

Lychee - 荔枝 (lì zhī)

Mangosteen - 山竹 (shān zhú)

Plantain - 大蕉 (dà jiāo) Note: literally translates to 'big banana'.

Persimmon - 柿子 (shì zǐ) Fun fact: tomatoes were probably first brought to China in the 1600's and lots of people thought they were strange and foreign. Thus, tomatoes were called 'foreign persimmons' (洋柿子）or 'foreign eggplants' （番茄） depending on location. Eventually, the 'foreign persimmons' term changed to 西红柿, or Western red persimmons.

Guava - 番石榴 (fān shí liú) This is a similar story for guavas which are called 'foreign pomegranates' (番石榴).

Rambutan - 红毛丹 (hóng máo dān) Example Text

各种挑水果技巧 看完你也是专家了 -> the skill of picking various types of fruits, after reading, you will also become an expert Pomelos 看外形，水滴状的最好 -> look at its external appearance, teardrop-shaped is best. 摸果皮，挑表皮光滑的 -> touch the fruit peel, pick one that has a smooth peel. 掂一掂，重量大的口感好 -> weigh it, the heavier ones have the best taste. Grapes 3招教你挑对葡萄 -> three-pronged lesson on picking the right grapes. 一看果梗。新鲜的葡萄果梗为绿色 -> first, look at the fruit stem. Fresh grapes will have green stems. 二看果皮和种子色泽 -> Secondly, look at the colour of the fruit peel and seeds. 三尝风味。葡萄成熟时，应该呈现品种固有的风味 -> Thirdly, taste the flavour. When grapes are mature, they should show a variant-distinct flavour. Oranges 3招挑出最甜的橘子 -> a three-pronged approach to choosing the sweetest orange. 一看：大小和颜色。橘子个头以中等为最佳... 颜色越红，通常熟得越好，味道越甜 -> first, look: size and colour. Oranges that are medium-sized are the best-tasting... the redder the colour, typically the more mature the orange and the greater sweetness. 二摸：光滑程度. -> Secondly, touch: smoothness. 三捏：测试弹性... 用手捏下去，感觉果肉结实但不硬，一松手，就能立刻弹回原状 -> thirdly, pinch: test the elasticity. Use your hand to pinch it, feel the fruit flesh as firm but not hard, once you let go, it immediately bounces back. Apples 苹果听声 -> listen to the sound of the apple. 敲敲看，如声音不脆，表示不新鲜 -> knock on it, if the sound isn't crisp, it means it's not fresh. Pineapples 菠萝看叶片 -> look at the pineapples leaves. 若叶片呈深绿色，表示日照良好，甜度和汁液都很多 -> as leaves display a dark green colour, it shows that the fruit received a good amount of sun exposure, both its sweetness and juiciness will be great. Strawberries 草莓看果蒂... 新鲜的草莓果蒂鲜嫩，呈深绿色 -> Look at strawberry stems... fresh strawberries will have freshly tender stems, displaying a deep green colour.

Bananas 香蕉看表皮 -> look at the banana's peel. 表皮有许多黑色斑点，且色泽深黄的香蕉成熟，这样的才最可口 -> mature bananas have a peel with many black stripes/spots and a deep yellow colour, this way they will be tastiest.

Comments: Used enough scatterscrolls on him that it’s time to start a new record for this guy (x5).

He’s Hark because the first thought that came to mind for the eventual tagline on his bio was “Hark, a wild scatterscroll project appears!”. Followed about two seconds later by “Huh, that would make an amusing name” - amusing to me, anyway, but as I’ve stated before, I am sometimes easily amused.

I’m also amused that he’s continuing the tradition of “scatterscroll projects I need to throw smirch at so I can see their tert”.

Ben Hardy masterlist

Summary: Ben is a time traveller who can’t control when or where he travels through time and he can never take anything with him. One night, he ends up landing in the princess’ room with nowhere to hide.

Enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where was he this time? Why was the floor so damn cold? Was that the sea that he could hear in the background crashing against the rocks?

He was spinning, his body was convulsing on the floor, his stomach was tensing and he was going to be sick. Oh, so sick, so much bile rising in the back of his throat that was tensing and constricting so he couldn't breathe. The bile left his lips with a flurry of water that was pushed up from his stomach which was tensing and drawing in until his chest dipped down and his stomach was no longer there. His knees caved into the empty space his stomach left behind and his chin tucked down into his tense neck until he stopped spinning.

Where had he landed?

Minutes ticked by until Ben finally felt that he had landed, he had properly landed this time, he wasn't about to be flung back in time to his present or stand up and fall into a different dimension.

Pressing his calloused palms to the polished floor tiles that were below freezing temperature, he twisted his body and forced his knees onto the floor that caused him to shiver in discomfort. He had been sinking safely into the comfort of his sofa with a record playing in the background before he found himself... wherever he was now.

Being mindful of the sick that rested to his right, Ben forced himself up until he was standing on his sore feet that always felt like they had pins and needles. Each time he travelled it became harder and harder to get up and hold his own weight, and that was not a good thing when Ben was normally thrust into a situation where he would need to run or escape or hide for safety. But he still didn't know where he had landed this time, but it was definitely somewhere unfamiliar to him.

A groan of utter pain and discomfort left Ben's lips when his heard started to spin and his eyes took a lot longer to adjust to where he was. He rubbed his frozen hands up and down his arms to try and circulate some heat into his system but when he looked around he realised why the room was so cold.

The balcony doors were open and he could see the sea. So, Ben knew that he was in some kind of house, maybe even a mansion and wherever he was in the world, this house was overlooking the sea. No wonder it was so cold, this place was on the edge of the water which brought in the wind and the cold rushes of air.

Ben wasn't on form tonight, he had spent possible five or more minutes here and he hadn't worked out his surroundings properly or if anyone was nearby or if this place was deserted or not. He hadn't even bothered to look around for any clothes to steal and that was the second thing on his mind when he travelled. Second only to needing to know if he should run away or not.

With a grunt, Ben shuffled his frozen feet across the rather slippery floor as he took in his surroundings. The room had peach coloured walls, pale grapefruit tiles on the floor and a crystal white ceiling. There was a sofa perched near to the balcony which showed the midnight sky full of stars, there was a vase of beautiful lilies in the windowsill and there were three doors within Ben's reach. One door he guessed led onto some sort of bedroom, the other door seemed to be the exit for a corridor and the third door looked more of a cupboard which might come in handy soon.

When an item of clothing came into Ben's sights, he internally thanked the Lord before he reached over to pick it up before tossing it straight back down again with a frightened expression.

It was a nightgown.

He was in a girl's room.

Oh shit, this had never happened to him before. Ben had never travelled and landed in a girl's bedroom. He had ended up in far weirder and worse places than this but this was somewhere he couldn't be. If the girl was here and she walked in to find a naked strange man in her room she would scream the place down and Ben could get killed before he found himself travelling back to his present time.

"Fuck! Fuck... no, shit not this! Send me home, send me home please I've been here long enough. Get me back home safe..." Ben raked a hand through his tussled curls as his eyes screwed shut and he prayed to any Lord or God out there who would listen to take him home.

When he time travelled he couldn't control where he went, when he went or when he got to go back home. He couldn't take any possessions with him like his house key and it was disturbing that he couldn't even take his own clothes. What kind of person randomly turned up to places stark naked? It was insulting and degrading, especially when people saw him randomly appearing out of nowhere without anything on and most people didn't offer him clothing either.

Ben's whole body felt paralysed with fear when the door straight ahead of him suddenly chimed and started to open. What was he going to do? He couldn't run out into the hall with no clothes on and hope no one would be out there to catch him.

He would have to make a break for the cupboard over to the right.

Ben didn't get close enough to the cupboard before a scream and a smashing sound rocketed through him and for a split second he thought someone had shot him.

He didn't want to look. He didn't want to catch sight of who had seen him, he didn't want that frightened, angered or just plain scared look engraved in his mind because he had too many of those faces for him to recall. But he had to look. He hadn't travelled back to his own present time yet and who knew how long he was going to be trapped here in this time. He had to try and explain or make something up so he didn't die before he travelled back to where he would be safe from any harm.

With a deep breath, Ben turned his head sickeningly slowly to the left and opened his eyes to see who had seen him.

(Y/n) felt sick.

The glass in her hand dropped to the floor at her feet and she couldn't help the small scream that escaped her lips before her hands moved to smother her mouth as if one single sound would warrant her death.

There was a man in her room. (Y/n) had never had a man in her room before, she'd never been alone with a man in her room before- or alone with any man in general. She'd also never seen a man naked before and here was a man, alone with her in her room, wearing absolutely nothing, and looking like he didn't want to be here or didn't know where he was.

How did he get into her room without anyone seeing him or following him? Why was he here in her room without any clothes on? Did he want to hurt her? Surely not, he would have done that already and if he came here with the intention of hurting her, why did he decide to do that naked?

(Y/n) watched in fright as the stranger slowly turned his head to look over at her but his eyes matched hers with a look of fright like a bewildered hare when the hunters were approaching. His lips were forming a straight line that showed worry and contemplation and his eyes creased at the corners giving away that he looked and felt rather desperate right now. (Y/n) wanted to call for the guards but something was stopping her. If she called them they would only take this man away and he didn't look like he was here to hurt her.

"Do you have anything I can wear?"

Ben knew immediately that his choice of words was very wrong for this situation and that they shouldn't be his first words to this rather pretty young girl he was terrifying. But he was beginning to shake and if he wasn't careful he was going to get pneumonia or frost bite from the bitter air which didn't seem to be affecting her like it was him.

"I- I'm sorry?"

"I know you want to know why I'm here and how I got here and I will tell you anything, love. But I'm freezing and I'm naked... please, do you have anything like a blanket or just something to stop me getting frostbite over here?"

His lips were turning blue and he felt like he was going to pass out, he needed any clothing or a blanket or just something to give him some decency and a tiny bit of warmth before he found himself catching anything. He'd gotten frostbite and pneumonia before from being out in the cold with no clothes or materials to keep him warm and it was part of Ben's travelling life that he never wanted to have to repeat again.

As if coming back to her senses, (Y/n) raked her eyes over the stranger and felt a blush creeping up her neck when she realised he was shaking from the cold. She'd been in the bath and she found having the balcony door open let the steam disappear from her bathroom and her bedroom.

(Y/n) bit down on her lip and looked up at the ceiling for a moment when she realised the man was doubled over so he could cover his modesty with his hands. He needed anything she could give him so he could warm up and stop having to cover himself from her like this because it was clearly embarrassing them both.

"Oh! I- I... of course, just let me..." (Y/n) tripped over her words as she looked around the room, wondering what she could give him that would help. Despite this situation being far from normal, (Y/n) couldn't let it be said that she didn't have any sympathy or that she'd lost her manners. Her eyes scanned the room for anything she could find before she suddenly undid the midnight blue robe tied around her frame.

(Y/n) took off the robe and quickly ran into her room to grab the blanket from the end of her bed before she hurried back to the stranger. She didn't get too close but close enough that he could gratefully take the items from her before she turned her back to give him some privacy.

Ben let his eyes roll to the back of his head when the robe and the blanket were smothering his frame. It was like having frostbite in his fingers and immediately waving them in front of the fire only to have his nerves spark and set on fire. But he would soon acclimatise and feel better.

"Thank you."

When the stranger's voice flooded (Y/n)'s ears she slowly turned around, assuming that it was safe for her to look at him and assume he was wearing what she had given him.

(Y/n) didn't know why she was smiling, there was a stranger in her room who had managed to sneak past the guards and get into her room without making a scene or a sound. He had turned up with no clothes looking rather unwell and seeming very confused but here (Y/n) was smiling at him.

He looked almost worried when she advanced over to him as if he thought she was going to slap him for turning up like this and maybe she should, but instead, she walked past him to close the balcony doors, hoping to keep him a bit warmer so he didn't faint or be sick. His eyes followed her movements and Ben felt bewildered when she motioned her hand over to the blushing fuchsia sofa that was almost out of place in the plain coloured room. She was offering for him to sit down, a complete and possible dangerous stranger.

"Why are you in my room?" (Y/n)'s voice was gentle but her eyes were full of curiosity as she sat down on the other end of the sofa, leaving a small space between them that might just fit another person if needed.

Tipping his head down, Ben stared at his lap for a little while as he pulled the blanket tighter around his shoulders to make sure he stayed warm. He had two choices here: he could tell her some random lie that she may or may not believe or he could tell her the truth and hope he disappeared before she got him arrested.

"The honest answer?" Ben asked, turning his head to look over at her to see her nodding. "I don't know. I didn't mean to turn up here, I actually don't know where I am."

Whenever Ben was found after he'd landed in a strange time in a new or familiar place, he had never had someone laugh at his explanation. He had had police frown at him and try to arrest him, he had people chasing him down back alleys and trying to beat him up or restrain him. People shouted at him, fainted, went paralysed and mute, but no one laughed.

(Y/n) didn't know what came over her but she couldn't help but laugh at his explanation that was far from normal or adequate. This stranger was in her room, he had to have gotten here of his own accord somehow since no one else was here with him and he had to have a reason for breaking into her room like this.

She had to admit that he looked rather convincing.

His rather enamouring emerald green eyes were shining and looking at her through his long black lashes and his very dark ruby red lips were curved into a small, shy smile that looked very sweet and made him seem innocent. His cheekbones were prominent and his jaw was sharp and made (Y/n) feel the urgent impulse to draw him on canvas. Especially his curls, his hair looked like it had been freshly cut but the strands were still long enough to curl on top of his head and they were shaved short at the sides. His hair was the perfect kind of wavy and styled for her to draw.

"I'm sorry, but I find it unbelievable that a strange man turns up without a stitch on him in my room and he doesn't know why he's here or where he is."

"Indulge me... where am I? What's the date today?"

This was part of Ben's trouble when he time travelled, he didn't know where he would end up and he didn't know what the day, date or year was until he asked a stranger who thought he was insane. Ben could see the bewildered look on this girl's face and she thought he was playing some sort of confusing game with her, but she would indulge him like he asked.

"It's July fifth, nineteen sixty-four and you're in my room in my father's palace. I'm (Y/n) (Y/l/n), now would you indulge me? If you really don't know why you're here, how come?"

Ben nodded his head to her words until they seemed to sink in and dawn on him. He'd gone two weeks into his future, it was very rare that Ben went into the future, the past was always where he was pulled into against his will. At least he hadn't gone too far forwards or back. But what got to him was who he was sitting with. This was (Y/n), she was the princess. He had managed to time travel into the palace, now this really was a first for Ben. He had never gotten into the palace before- not that he'd ever tried.

"I'm Ben... I... I time travel, I don't get to choose where or when I go so I never know where I end up and I don't get to take anything with me, princess." Somehow, when the word princess rolled from his lips it made (Y/n) shiver, it was like he was trying to be respectful like the guards when they spoke but he was also being playful and teasing with her.

(Y/n) smiled but she didn't laugh this time. He was either deluded or very bad at lying because she had never heard anything like that before, but then again, nothing like this had ever happened before. But (Y/n) couldn't think of a probable reason why this stranger would turn up in her room wearing nothing at all without anyone finding him if he wasn't going to hurt or attack her or try and hold her hostage. He seemed like he just wanted to go back home and get away from here and he had seemed confused when she first noticed him.

"You don't look mad." (Y/n)'s voice was quiet and she took Ben by surprise when she reached her hand over to gently caress the side of his face like she was making sure he was really here and not some figment of her imagination.

"Neither do you, and yet here you are, talking to a complete stranger wearing your robe."

Out of all the things Ben had seen and all the places he had travelled, this was the best one. He hadn't had to run for his life, he didn't have to fight his way out of anything or hide until he was allowed to travel back home. Ben didn't have to try and lie or break into places and steal clothing or food or money or hide away and find shelter from the rain or a storm or the police or people running after him.

(Y/n) smiled wider at the stranger in front of her but her smile slipped when he blinked a bit quicker before closing his eyes and leaning over until his head was almost resting on her lap. When a small groan left his lips and he seemed to start subtally trembling once again, (Y/n) held onto his shoulders and gently tried to pull him back up.

"What's wrong, are you alright?"

"I- I think I'm going back." Ben knew this feeling all too well. Sometimes he didn't feel anything at all and suddenly found himself back at home two seconds after he had left. Sometimes he fainted and woke up on the floor of his bedroom or in his garden or in a back alley where he had been before he travelled. But sometimes, his stomach started to jump and churn and his head started spinning and he landed back home throwing up his guts with his body spinning in circles.

"Back where?"

"Home."

Ben thought he was going to be sick and his throat tightened but he held his breath in his lungs when (Y/n)'s hands were suddenly cupping his face and tilting his head up to look at him. She looked almost sad that he was about to depart and leave her. Him, a total stranger who was of no rank or status in society to even know her if he were a normal man, and the princess didn't want him to leave.

"W-will you come back?" (Y/n) wanted him to come back, she wanted him to visit her again because he was different and he was intriguing even if he may possible be dangerous or quite mad.

"I- I can't control it, princess... I'm n-not a Lord or anything I can't walk through the gates-" Ben couldn't control where and when he travelled and even if he wanted to come and see her in their present time, he couldn't just walk through the palace gates and come find her. He wasn't important or high up or anyone special enough to come and see the princess.

"And yet here you are." Her voice was calm and considerate as her thumbs brushed over his cheeks like she was trying to calm him down and her smile was burning into his memory, never wanting to be forgotten. She was brushing his skin so delicately and looking at him lovingly like she wanted to make him feel better, she wanted to comfort him and take away the sick feeling he was going through. And the strange thing was, it was working.

"I'll try."

(Y/n) didn't know what came over her, maybe it was because she knew he was trying to make her a promise they both knew he might not be able to keep. Maybe it was because she didn't know if this lovely yet possibly deluded stranger was ever going to waltz into her life again. But whatever it was, it forced her to lean closer until her lips pressed to his.

It was her first ever kiss and it wasn't how she had expected it to be. His lips were like soft cushions but they were ice cold like she was kissing snow and it was slowly melting against her lips. She could feel his cold skin pressing against hers in every way, she could feel that his lips were wet but slightly chapped at the same time and she could sense his tongue pressing up behind his lips.

The feeling was nothing like (Y/n) had ever imagined or ever experienced before and it was something she desperately wanted to repeat. But the moment (Y/n) felt Ben's fingers grazing delicately against her cheek, everything went cold and the air twisted around her.

When her eyes snapped open, the snow against her lips was gone, the fingertips brushing against her cheek weren't there and all that was left was the blanket and the robe laying half on her lap like Ben had evaporated and turned into dust at her fingertips. He really had disappeared just as mysteriously as he had appeared in the first place. Nothing was left, he hadn't taken the robe or the blanket with him which explained why he appeared with no clothes on.

He had been telling her the truth.

So why did she feel sad now he was gone?

No Grave Ch.4

In the next year, we worked our asses off and pulled our weight plus some and no one could argue that we hadn’t earned our place in the crew, not that anyone would. Roger had adopted us, we were practically his kids. No one could say a thing even if they wanted to.

Sterling started experimenting with haki, and managed to do something most would assume was impossible. He managed to heal with haki, exactly the same way he used to be able to do with chakra.

I however took to practicing keeping my Conqueror's haki under control and using Armament haki. Surprisingly, Armament haki took a whole new appearance with me, as it mimicked the markings gifted to me by my god.

So when we found a seemingly deserted island, we rightfully assumed that we would be able to handle anything the island threw at us. And we were right. As we were in the South Blue and not the Grand Line, we were able to thrash the small time bandits that attempted to ambush us.

As we searched the dead bodies, I found an absolutely gorgeous black boater hat with a golden sun painted on the front. I smiled happily as I put it on my head and went to show Roger and Sterling.

Only I couldn’t find them.

“Scopper? Where did Captain and Sterling wander off to?” I asked, and he paused to look at me.

“Cool hat. I believe Captain said something about scavenging for rations, and then he ran off. Your brother went after him.” Scopper pointed off into the forest, and I nodded before going in that direction.

I had only walked for about 10 minutes before I found Roger, passed out and draped over the corpse of a giant alligator. I sighed and pulled his hat over his face to prevent him from getting a rather inconvenient and irritating sunburn.

I continued on my way and eventually found Sterling, picking fruit. He yelped when he dropped one and it landed on his foot before rolling under a bush.

“I’ll get it!” I called as I rushed over to the bush and crawled under. And while I did find the apple, I also found a grapefruit sized peach with dark purple-pink swirls, and a fruit startlingly close to the Mera Mera no Mi in everything but colour, which was a rather unappealing puke green colour. I grabbed all three and backed out of the bush. Sterling looked and promptly fell over, saving his basket at the last second.

“Are those Devil Fruit?!” He hissed, grabbing the green fruit from my hand.

“What the hell? Why is it puke green?” He asked, looking at it in dissatisfaction.

“I have no idea, but I don’t want it if it’s a puke paramecia.” I glared at the fruit, holding the one in my hands closer to my chest.

Sterling let out an indignant screech and punched me in the face, and my neck made an audible snap. My head sagged to the side and we both stared at each other.

“While this is certainly fun to know and all, but please fix it.” I said after a moment, and Sterling wheezed.

Eventually, he grabbed my head and put it back where it was supposed to be, placing a hand on the back of my neck and flooding the area with haki, rebuilding the bones and spinal cord. I rolled my neck and shoulders after to test it, deeming it good, and stalked away. I went straight to where Roger was, still sound asleep. I plopped myself down on his chest.

I popped the bubble coming out of his nose and he sputtered awake. He slipped his hat off of his face and looked at me.

“What’s up Sol-chan?” He smiled at me.

“We found devil fruit, Sterling has the other one.” I said, holding out the peach for him to see.

His eyes widened and his jaw dropped before his ever present smile grew impossibly wider. He threw an arm around me, pinning me to his chest as he stood up and threw the alligator over his shoulder.

Sterling ended up getting scooped up as well as Roger ran the completely opposite way from where we needed to head. When we finally made it back to the ship, Roger dropped the alligator and held us out like we were baby Simba.

“MY KIDS ARE SO COOL AND SMART!” Roger yelled, sniffling.

“We know, Capta- Are those Devil Fruit?” Seagull reached out to touch mine, so I bared my teeth and kicked at him.

“Get your own devil fruit, fucko. This one is MINE!” I snarled, holding it closer, and sunk my teeth into it without hesitation. I swallowed the small chunk despite the urge to spit it out.

All in all, it wasn’t as bad as eating a Zetsu.

Sterling gagged on his fruit, but managed to keep it down. And unlike with me, it was almost immediately evident just what powers he had gotten. Because he turned into wood for a split second before snapping back to normal.

My powers became much more obvious when someone implied that I might have found a dud, and instinctively spat a glob of purple at the person, hissing indignantly.

Thank Jashin that I didn’t actually hit the man.

I started cackling once I realized just what I had gotten. Roger dropped me when I shifted into a giant ass funnel web spider. Laughter as a spider is incredibly unnerving, and absolutely amazing.

Someone shrieked as I ran past them, so I shifted back to normal.

“Oh god, why did the evil one get one of the creepiest devil fruit powers out there?!” Yamon whined as I ran back to Roger. I made sure to kick him in the shin as I passed him.

Roger kept a close eye on us as we experimented with what we could do with our new abilities, occasionally bragging to the crew about how proud he was.

And that was that. Despite the new changes, our lifestyle was relatively unchanged. Sure, we got bounties and had to be careful in and around the water now, but we had our crew at our backs.

It would be around 5 years before anything changed, and it would come in the form of two scrawny 8 year olds.

marmalade, tangerine, ginger, peach, & merigold :)

thank you oh my goodness!!! <3 

marmalade: what do you put on your toast?

either peach or strawberry jam :) 

tangerine: what fruits would be in your ideal fruit salad?

gosh. apples, clementines, grapefruit, pineapple, raspberry, blueberry, mango grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, and skinned peaches (i know that’s pretty much almost every conventional fruit but god damn if i don’t love fruits man, haha) 

ginger: if you had to dye your hair, what colour?

ohhh i’ve been thinking about this. i’ve never died my hair before! i was kind of thinking about blue, like hayley williams blue, or a light lavender/purple, or maybe straight up grey 

peach: favourite season?

mmm i can find something to appreciate about them all. i love spring for its cold creeping into warmth and flowers (i don’t have allergies >:), for the resurgence of animals after a winter dormancy, for a certain overall lightness that comes, maybe not in feeling but in atmosphere. i love summer for its warmth and vacation-type fun but also for the browsing-the-internet-at-3am-with-good-music-after-a-day-of-emotional-numbness vibe plus the time for my hobbies and time with my family. i love autumn for the weather and everything typical, but especially for the relief that comes with it after a difficult summer. and i love winter for warm clothing against a cold world and feeling in between stages in life while settling for the peace of your fireplace and family time in front of the tv

merigold: what’s your favourite flower?

hyacinth and cyclamen !!!!

There are much better alternatives available, read the tags yet making your own dressing is constantly the front runner. For those times when you require a bottle shop in the refrigerated area of the grocery shop as well as try to find yogurt based velvety dressings for complete flavour caesars and also ranch without the fat or opt for additional virgin olive oil and vinegar as a base.

Dijon Dressing - balsamic vinegar, garlic, dijon mustard, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil Cilantro Dressing - orange juice, apple cider vinegar, added virgin olive oil, fresh cilantro Creamy Dressing - honey, greek yogurt as well as lemon juice for a luscious option Lime Dressing - honey, lime juice, added virgin olive oil, garlic, cayenne pepper Peanut Thai Dressing - peanut butter, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, red wine vinegar, sesame oil, additional virgin olive oil

Dragon: Hark - Pearlcatcher Male

First Record Second Record Third Record Fourth Record Fifth Record Sixth Record Seventh Record

(Renamed from GRIMDORK to Hark on 2021-11-09) (Smirch scroll applied on 2021-11-09)

Purchased For: 3,500,000 treasure Hatched On: 2013-09-26 ID: 779793

Parentage: Valencia/Petre Flight: Wind

Primary: Coal Tiger Secondary: Purple Shimmer Tertiary: Avocado Basic Smirch Eyes: Common

Comments: Used enough scatterscrolls on him that it’s time to start a new record for this guy (x3).

He’s Hark because the first thought that came to mind for the eventual tagline on his bio was “Hark, a wild scatterscroll project appears!”. Followed about two seconds later by “Huh, that would make an amusing name” - amusing to me, anyway, but as I’ve stated before, I am sometimes easily amused.

I’m also amused that he’s continuing the tradition of “scatterscroll projects I need to throw smirch at so I can see their tert”.

20 questions

I was tagged by: @altraes (thank you very much!)

rules: answer 20 questions, then tag 20 bloggers that you want to get to know better

name: starts with I

nickname: Hawk

height: 1,65cm

orientation: meh. I don’t really care about defining myself tbh. I know that love is love and this only matters. This said, I remembered a few things from the past which reminded me I’m probably bi or pan? And demiromantic. I guess. meh

nationality: italian

favourite season: autumn and spring (btw I love calling it autumn and not fall)

favourite fruit: redcurrant, grapefruit, peach, passion fruit, berries

favourite flower: poppies and wildflowers 

favourite scent: moonflower

favourite colour: dark blue, dark green, dark anything~

favourite animal: This is tough, I love all animals. Speaking of fascination I’d say birds cause they’re amazing and fish cause they live in water and it’s the closest thing to aliens

coffee, tea or hot chocolate: I’m Italian, so: coffee. dark hot and bitter like hell.

average sleep hours: 6 maybe? it depends

favourite fictional character: Sasuke. Also Team Taka, also Itachi, Madara and Shisui

number of blankets you sleep with: it depends on the season

dream trip: currently, Peru

blog created: too much time ago~

number of followers: 7808 

random facts:  -I’m INTJ -I love animals and I spend most of my time with them, both my pets and local crows outside -I like science fiction but I don’t like fantasy much -I have an OCD -I have a lot of tattoos and I’d do more if I had more money -Music is a very important part of my life and I like a lot of different genres and sounds. The only ones I can’t stand at all are kpop (and cheesy pop in general), hip-hop with offensive lyrics and very extreme metal. -My style is kinda based on apocalyptic aesthetics: ripped washed out black-grey jeans, army green/black/dark anything tshirts, asymmetrical stuff and cloak-like trenchcoats, and combat boots ofc -I’d like to say something interesting about myself but I kinda hate myself rn so -I’m good at training animals cause I’m patient (with them. With people not at all). So I taught this guy to hop on the bench with me sitting on it, for a treat ofc. Now whenever I walk and this guy is around he always looks at me and benches to do the thing. I’d be even better if people from the neighbourhood didn’t scold me cause they don’t like birds. So here’s the good boy (and yes crows in my areas are black and grey):

Very Descriptive OC Stat Meme

@mermpy0315 tagged me  <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I should probably do a non-DA char for one of these at some point, but ehhhh I’m very fond of fixation...

[damn you tumbles for hating my file dimensions no matter how many ways I try to resize them XD]

NAME: Radi Lavellan (technically Radiana but everyone shortens it to Radi)

NICKNAME: None yet. She’s asked Varric for one many times but he’s stumped at the moment.

AGE: 26-30

SPECIES: Elf

GENDER: Female

ORIENTATION: Straight

INTERESTS, HOBBIES, PASTIMES: She was a prodigy on hammered dulcimer as a child but hasn’t had time to regularly practice in years. She’s actually fair with a bow and was on her way to being a hunter before her magic manifested. She adores gardening and spends quite a lot of time in Skyhold’s courtyard. To be honest, even though she wasn’t the Keeper’s First, she never had a lot of time to really think about what she liked before now, so she’s still figuring that out. Blackwall is teaching her woodcarving, much to her delight. Bull has discovered that she has a surprisingly high alcohol tolerance for someone who doesn’t like drinking, and she’s even won drinking contests against him.

PROFESSION: Prior to the Inquisition, she was considering being a bodyguard because her protection magic is much stronger than her attack skills.

BODY TYPE: Lean, spry, and underweight. She’s muscular but it’s the “ropy” sort, so she still looks pretty skinny. Her cheekbones are downright severe, so many people (even in her clan) have worried that she has an eating disorder, but she has a healthy appetite – she’s just constantly burning through those calories and can never quite catch up.

EYES: Very green – she was born with a dull hazel shade but that changed to vivid green when her magic manifested.

HAIR: She has thick, straight, slightly coarse hair. It tends to get very stringy if she sweats at all, so she always keeps it in a bun or at least pinned back. She does this so often that no one’s sure how long it really is. It’s naturally black, but it tends to be sun-faded and she’s also prematurely graying.

SKIN: I want to say something like medium olive? She has a naturally tan skin tone but it’s been known to darken or lighten depending on how much time she spends outside/inside and also what she eats.

HEIGHT: 5’9”

COMPANIONS: She’s been spotted socially with all of them but she’s especially fond of Varric, Dorian, and Bull.

ANTAGONISTS: Actually…she has a complicated relationship with Sera. She 100000% agrees with Sera’s grievances and doesn’t mind screwing nobles over, but she doesn’t believe in killing people just because of their class and they’ve often had heated arguments about that.

COLOURS: Beige, pastel purple, navy blue, moss green, lyrium red (errr I don’t know how to describe it otherwise)

SMELLS:  Apples, rain, cedar, leather, lemon verbena, honeysuckle, wet grass, soap (pffft don’t ask XD XD)

FRUITS:  Strawberries, peaches, pomegranates, limes, and almost anything coated in chocolate  

DRINKS:  Coffee, cocoa, chamomile tea, grapefruit juice

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES:  mulled cider if it’s on the weak side

SMOKES?:  Nope

DRUGS?:  Nothing recreational

DRIVER’S LICENSE: Terrible halla rider (she can barely stay on and has had a few serious accidents), reasonably good with horses. She adores the battle nug but isn’t confident enough around large animals to try riding it yet.

They’ve probably already done this because everyone has done more of these than me xD, but I tag @urdnott @effelants @talizorahs and @thejetblackcrow (and anyone else who sees this and thinks it looks fun)
