#Teach

[hug-your-face]

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

"The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites, lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance...

"We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements — transportation, communications, and all other industries; agriculture, medicine, education, entertainment, protecting the environment; and even the key democratic institution of voting — profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces."

animal crossing blackbeard pirates 🏝️

[fablecore]

Ok ok, I need some answers bc I’m “morbidly curious”. So, could you give me insight how Sophie would be as a Blackbeard pirate? Particularly, how would Blackbeard and Sophie work out together (couple wise) in this AU?

i gasped aloud!!! this premise is truly & derangedly morbid. fixation is a major part of sophie's personality, and her fixation on law/the wg/science etc is meant to parallel teach's fixation on her (and also the "follow your dreams/what you love is your fate" theme in one piece)

that being said, i can see two versions of how this could go.

version one: still a "chasing a carrot on a stick" situation. if they were an actual couple, teach would be very into her while she'd be cheating on him every other week. and he'd find it a little romantic, because at the end of the day sophie would always come back to him (without being coerced, let's assume she met ace in this au but developed some fondness for teach) and they'd throw tantrums at each other, which would devolve into long shakespearean speeches about wanting to feel seen and appreciated (as they make plans to conquer the world). the sense that there's a part of her that teach can't ever reach would drive a large part of his fascination. and sophie would enjoy the attention because as we all know she has an old man fetish, but in her heart she'd be disappointed in him for reciprocating the attraction of someone her age. she would see the relationship as transactional (she gets to experiment on a person literally unlike anyone else in the world), while teach would genuinely have feelings. but he wouldn't call it love unless he could gain something out of it. for all the mess, mind games, cuckoldry, and toxicity enjoyers out there!

version two (i would age sophie up for this): healthy, wholesome, supportive. very much "you loved me at my no powers buffoonish backstabbing failson era, now you have me at my two devil fruits, massive armada, massive dick, playing 5D chess and always winning, pearl necklace, rings on every finger, haute couture emperor era". sophie would have zero problems in this au. she'd be bejeweled, living good, hosting poker nights with her boyfriend's interesting coworkers. the mob wife, in essence.
