me looking at Nami's original concept:

what if.

and hear me out because this is optional, you may find this topic upsetting/triggering/boring/annoying and therefore you can just say 'ele I want you to continue with your classic Nami canon divergences in our threads' and that'll be it:

what if Nami is DESTINED to lose her arm protecting the monster trio, because they were about to be killed, the fight was almost over for them, but she got in the way to stop the last attack and lost her whole-ass arm, giving them the chance to survive and destroy the enemy in this order. Team work and all that. She gets the scars too, prior to losing her arm. It was the typical 'the enemy has severely wounded some of the 'weaker' crewmembers, and waits until the trio is distracted trying to check if they are alive to attack, but one of the wounded ones got in the way and ruined the enemy's plan' plot. Can happen to anybody.

What IF. that's her final canon divergence (because to be fair she was one of the least canon divergent muses I have).

And Nami takes it well because honestly, no regrets, she's proud that for once she could give her everything to save the others and it worked (and became the second person to lose an arm for Luffy and a limb for Sanji, which is also great). It would change her dynamic with everyone, her self-esteem (it would go up in general, though she may struggle initially with her appearance), her potential threads, how other characters feel around her.

And also these would be Nami's instructions (which characters are actually present depends on when we set our threads): 'Here's what we are going to do: Usopp, Frankie, Chopper, you'll work on a new arm that can at least hold the clima-tact, and looks as real as possible, but can also sprout weapons if needed. Sanji, Brook, you two will pay me a compliment at least once a day for a month. Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, you can feel bad for now, but I'll feel worse and I'll be louder about it. Robin, I'll need your help getting dressed. Luffy, as the Captain, order to the crew to take us where we can find the materials to make me the arm. And I'm telling all of you now: if anyone, I don't care who, any of you, tries to tell me to tough it up, Zoro, that person will owe me 100.000 berries, and I don't care if he never gets to see a blacksmith again. Do we all understand our roles?"

Luffy had shown up with Connor and his half of the crew with such nonchalance that Nami knew it was a Brook situation - new guy had been recruited on the spot and they just had to deal. But something about Connor's appearance had sent a shiver down her spine, one she hadn't been able to turn into thoughts and words because they had been immediately dragged into another adventure, and it was only hours later that she had been left on deck with Connor, while making sure the Sunny would get to the right port, able to relax and talk. Meanwhile, Chopper was below deck, already using half of the new bandages they had bought for Luffy himself. "Yes, that was 'our normal'," she declared even before Connor could ask; they had saved a village from a giant flying dolphin with the power of friendship, and she didn't know whether to complain or cry. "Welcome to the Strawhats."

Nami sighed, checking her Log Pose, and stretched her back a little; she had taken a rough fall, but she knew another restless night awaited her. Seeing Hachi hadn't upset her right away, but all that thinking about Arlong had manifested in sleepless nights after Fishman island. "Granted, I'm new to the North Blue, but I don't think I have seen anyone look like you yet. Where are you from?"

Ellie was a little spitfire, and it made her smile - but a part of her wondered, because this was the kid Joel had taken in, if Sarah had been anything like her. Before or after the end of the world, Yana had never been able to stop wondering, and had consequentially felt guilty because she had chosen a path and had to stick with it, no point in getting lost in what ifs. "I barely believe it," she grinned at Ellie, as her attention returned to the wound she was taking care of. "But it was the screaming in pain part that I was mostly referring to."

She snorted at the girl's words about Joel, but when it was time to answer Yana's question, the atmosphere grew a little less easygoing. "That's okay. Whatever Joel said or may say in the future, he's a hundred percent right, so don't worry, I wasn't trying to put you in a tight spot. Joel was perfect and I'll take whatever he says." She had been ready for the words deadbeat mother, although she wasn't entirely sure of what Joel - or even Tommy, because she had spoken to Tommy just as honestly - would feel now that he knew the real reason she had disappeared. "To be honest, I used to be the closed off one. Took me a lot of therapy to learn how to communicate. Then the world ended. So it's good to hear he can... reminish about the good things..." she glanced at Ellie's face, "It's also odd to think that you were born into this."

"Yeah, well, from what I've seen over the course of my very dull and uneventful life," okay yes, maybe that was sarcasm, "the infected don't really give a shit what you're saying, and honestly, I don't think there's anything I could say or yell or swear that would shock Joel these days." A thoughtful study of the space off to the side of Yana's shoulder for a moment, considering. "Okay, maybe. Believe it or not, I do try to behave myself, sometimes." Mostly around Joel, and only then, cause he was pretty much the only one whose opinion she gave a real damn about -- but that wasn't the conversation at hand, and not for someone she'd just met.

She peered down at the injured arm as it was poked, an appreciative raise of her eyebrows at the lack of screaming agony the touch evoked. "Oh trust me, I call him old plenty. He won't forget anytime soon." A smirk accompanies the words, though it fades some as the conversation shifts again. "Yeah. I mean. Not much, details wise, he -- doesn't really talk about ... " You. Her. Before. "Just that ... you weren't around a lot, with.... " Yeah. Emotions. Her social kryptonite. "He talked a lot more about her, than... anybody else, really, from before."

the people I'm feeling the most today! (blue aren't open to crossovers) / you can ask for more than one and also specify your muse if you are a multi or I'll happily pick!

if you don't mind the lack of priority you can also ask for a muse that isn't here! but please remember this is a MUTUALS ONLY blog (and you can see in the muse's boxes who they are open to)

[savingthrcw]

nevermind, back to say, please when you have time check my navi page, I opened some muses to more fandoms/type of characters/ships and closed others!

twinsy-bit sleep-deprived so I'm not here yet, and this is not relevant to anyone but me, but while I think of MY Nami as Sanji-romantic (with a dash of opla-Zoro-romantic, potentially) in the sense that I'm solely interested in writing that ship, I generally like to think of her as in the aro-ace spectrum, specifically very demi-aro and a bit demi-ace. Never had a crush, needs a strong emotional bond to develop romantic feelings, can notice when people are aesthetically pleasing, but is not se.xually attracted on the spot; she is sensually attracted way more easily (kisses, hugs, cuddles), and has s.exual experience purely because she wanted to feel something good every now and then while living in hell (fully consensual, did cheer her up). Has never dated. A relationship isn't a goal/priority/something she envisions when she thinks of a perfect life, but if it happens she'll welcome it.

(as opposed to Janey who is extremely repulsed but would accept a queerplatonic relationship that is not at all physical, and Terra who needs strong bonds to feel attraction but 100% *wants* a relationship, physical and emotional. Nami happens to be in between.)

"Good. Because when I think you are ready, I will also take you on patrol with me. I'm not building houses, and I need a new partner," She thought of Joel, and how at peace he had looked when sitting at the table with a pencil and blueprints. "Eventually. If you are serious about training. You get bored halfway, you'll go back to Jesse and I'll find someone more willing to suffer."

Ellie had looked so pleased that Tess knew she had the girl's attention and the girl's pride working in her favor; no way she'd back down and that was exactly what the woman wanted: for Ellie to be ready to face anything by herself. Trying to keep her out of danger would not do, not when Tess had no faith whatsoever in Jackson lasting. "And I think I need your help too. I don't really do 'vacation', let alone 'retirement', so... I don't really know what I'm supposed to do here, when I'm not holding a gun."

She'd started to object, to spout off that she did, in fact, already train -- but whatever attitude she was ready to spout off at Tess faded soon enough as she actually let herself listen instead of react first. It certainly didn't hurt that she'd admired Tess from the get go, and the fact that she'd been willing to sacrifice herself for Ellie's survival had gone a long way to buffing up the 'hero' title in the young girl's mind. She'd been openly overjoyed to see the smuggler again, lunge hug and all, even if she'd tried to write it off later like it was just all chill. "Maximum pain?" A shit eating grin split the girl's features, a snort laugh following. "Fuck yeah." Chest puffed up a little at the thought. "I mean, what's not to like about that plan, dude."

I also want from other Straw-Hats rpers to let me write Nami getting very hurt, maybe heroically, maybe stupidly, for my hurt-comfort needs, thanks

She could see he was getting agitated over her constant praise for their good old friend, and it felt like it had been worth the theatrics. Torvic still had some power over him, it seemed, and it was still one of her favourite things in the universe. But it couldn't go on forever, she was making herself sick acting like a Doctor-fangirl.

Ah, he had started to feel something was up, she could see it. "Oh no, I agree. You've never seen this face before," she chose the words carefully, her smile back, and her hand started flipping the Cyberman remote control in her hand almost automatically; thousands of times she had done the same to dissipate some of her excitement, even as kids, with the knife her father had given her - she had never used that on him or other children, she liked to beat them with her hands, but it had always been spinning in her hand right before. "I've seen yours, though. Definitely... and the one before that."

"Come on, love. You were always the smart one here, put that brain to work."

The Master couldn't help rolling his eyes again, this time not even bothering to hide his disgust anymore. Why was it always -- Ohh, Doctor this, and Doctor that?! After all the centuries of having his TARDIS, he still couldn't figure out how to fix the faulty Chameleon Circuit for it! Just because he ran around snogging human girls and saving the universe with a yo-yo and string didn't make him the greatest thing in all the universe.

He was broken from his angry and jealous thoughts at her sudden question about his identity. "I'm the dangerous sort of UNIT agent. Let's just say they know me quite well, just like best friends. Old friends, really." It wasn't entirely wrong considering his history with the organization. Somewhere somehow, the Brigadier must be sneezing and coughing from the lies. Good.

However, the Master raised an eyebrow at her further suspicion. Did she recognize him? How was that possible? He was the Master of disguise. And he had never seen this person before. He cleared his throat, trying to brush it off. "I don't know what nonsense you're on about. I've never seen you before, until now."

in the end my dogs seemed to be doing better, they gave me about fifty more scares but they seemingly went to bed very happy, so I'm crossing my fingers to wake up tomorrow and find out they are still fine! But I'm mentally exhausted from all the worrying so I'll try to do a few replies and that'll be it for tonight! No way I can chat (also it's 11:30pm and if I chat I might get too excited and need time to cool off and sleep, the joys of having a shattered nervous system!)

ok, both my dogs are sick at the same time (it is possible *I* made them sick because I didn't realize they'd both like the disinfectant for the oldest one's wound) so not only I didn't study anything but i'm having trouble focusing (even though they ate, ran around and are now resting) so please bear with me, I will get to ims asap ( @nomadsykrix you'll be the first person I go to when I'm able to focus again!) but also may do a few scattered replies first, if I need to distract myself from reality, and I will check new followers' blogs last because you know I study them like I'm preparing a thesis

[savingthrcw]

going to bed, but I wanted to tell everyone: thank you for giving my aus and ocs and canon muses a chance! But also if it turns out you don't like one, just ditch 'em. Hopefully we'll find more interactions to have between other characters!

YOU KNOW WHAT, I want OLDER Linda Hamilton for Tess too because while Tess may 'look' young and Sarah Connor is perfect for the Vibes, it's crazy to use someone who is 27-28 to play a 40 years old woman, even if people back then looked older than their age, let's pick this movie in which she's 37 to start with

Linda at 27

btw canon Tess: I never asked you for anything, not to feel the way I felt
