I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT EX HUSBAND SHANKS 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Okay I was thinking a relationship that’s like SUPER chill and casual. Like literally fuckbuddies turned lovers; u stay on ur home island and he’s off most of the time. Was based close by in the first year or two y’all met and got close so he was around more often but eventually it becomes him stopping by every few months for a few weeks and the two of you keeping up contact while he’s gone. The progression from just messing around to a committed relationship is slow and largely unsaid until Beckman tells you his captain has turned down every other woman for the past two years and you realize you aren’t much searching for other men yourself; soon enough you’ve got matching rings and as untraditional as it is it works.

And I’m just thinking abt how like…….. ur happy w ur life on ur little island, it’s relatively safe all things considered under his protection and you’ve lived there your whole life and all you rlly wanna do is keep your head down and stay there. Getting involved with Red-Haired Shanks puts a major flaw in that plan but it’s easy to forget who exactly he is. He doesn’t hide it, ofc not, but he’s so… unremarkable seeming that it’s difficult to remember, especially when your interaction with him is isolated to a scant few days or weeks when he’s most at ease and the only thing he’s thinking about is you.

But………. then you’re reminded otherwise. It’s silly really, because of course you know. It’s been years since you first met him, you’ve seen the wanted posters and you’ve heard how people talk about him, but knowing in abstract—contrasted by the man who’s managed to marry you, all wide smiles and incessant drunken love confessions and never dodging a well-placed swat from your hand—is far different from seeing in person.

You board his ship for a little trip; something small, only a few days to go retrieve a gift for you that Shanks had foolishly left a few islands away, low-risk and entirely in his territory. But it all goes sideways and you’re forced, quite suddenly, to realize just who you’ve managed to fall for—and exactly what kind of power and prestige he wields—while trapped with nowhere to go but remain on his ship with him and his crew for the days it takes to return.

You feel stupid more than anything, balking like this after one (frankly minuscule) fight. You don’t leave his cabin the whole trip back. He brings you meals, holds you when he can, tells you how much the crew misses you, but he doesn’t understand just how much you’re questioning. How much, you wonder, do you really know Shanks? Bordering on ten years is quite some time but when you only see him a scant few weeks out of those years, how much does it matter?

The ring on your finger, the way he looks at you—they settle on your shoulders more like a noose now, no longer making you giddy. How long until some bitter rival of his storms your home searching for you because they can’t touch him?

How much is he worth it when the lives of everyone in your hometown stand at risk?

You’re smart enough not to pick the fight until you’ve returned. You have it at the door of your home, long overdone and frankly terrified, all but melting down once you’re truly alone with him for the first time in a week. He doesn’t yell back—doesn’t do much, after attempts at soothing you fail, except watch you with a mildly surprised expression on his face.

For the first time in years you don’t let him stay the night, or see him off when he leaves the following day. You sit up on your roof and watch his ship disappear over the horizon and assure yourself that clearly you aren’t cut out for being his.

(But two months later that ship appears again, and an hour after docking there’s a knock at your door, and you can’t help how your breath hitches when you see that red hair beyond the peephole…)

Cinderella, Peter Pan, and 101 Dalmatians for shanks (sorry i have to) or tomura or both if u like🎤🎤<333

yes i Will do all of the above ty for this opportunity oz........

cinderella - what do you and your f/o do in your free time? any shared hobbies?

Shanks — i feel like free time is often spent w him dozing off w his head in my lap and me reading 🤔 not counting. when he's partying. JKSHBDF idk i cant think up any hobbies for him. beckman and i have a book club and he tried to keep up for a bit but we moved quickly from fiction to fucking........ political theory and hes just like. ur both fucking insane u read this for FUN???? (yes and we discuss it ty 🙄). OH in a modern au i think he loves watching shows w me he's more than happy to talk meta and unpack shows.

Tomura — gaming,,,,,,, ik its so cliche sorry but esp minecraft we play a lot of minecraft together. and a lot of parallel play!!!! he likes more intense combat-heavy games and when hes doing that im often on my phone or reading a book or sometimes curled up half on top of him taking a nap (he is so careful not to wake me up........)

peter pan - favorite picture/screencap/etc. of your f/o?

Shanks — love his pretty grin 🥺 idk what im gonna do in like ten years when we start getting him in present day like........ not portrayed as Just A Dude but a whole ass emperor. oh my god

Tomura — ohhhhh so many!!!! i am partial to the iconic stigmata pic ofc, but in general im such a sucker for any immediate-post-awakening negative hair and thick ass thighs caps. honorable mention to his og look but GODDDDDD his glowup is sooooooo sexy to me (not even the appearance inherently but also the attitude...... oh what a man)

101 dalmatians - who fell in love first?

Shanks — him. i honestly think he's rlly prone to infatuation at first sight; he falls hard and fast and often it burns out when the interest is reciprocated but um. i make him work for it so much it ends up sticking LMFAOOOOOO we r talking years of a slow burn baby he's v much single-mindedly obsessed w winning me over and by the end of it he suddenly comes to his senses and is like FUCK im actually head-over-heels HOW DID THAT HAPPEN

Tomura — um. him technically? i have a lil celebrity crush on him before we meet that peters out when i start getting to know him....... and then becomes a real crush as i grow closer to him. he meanwhile represses his interest in me at first, then afo stokes a bit of an obsession in him (w the intent to have tomura drive me away and make it a yandere situation. it doesnt work. it blows up in his stupid face), and then when that interest is returned it mellows into actual love.

send a disney themed selfship ask!
