#chillin with the beach crew

hanging out at the fish shack 🐟🐟🐟

[scifidude]

First of my beach episode drawings this summer

The crew just chillin

[fogsrollingin]

I gotta jot this down somewhere so I can see if it holds any water when the time comes. I was thinking OFMD S2 could be something like

Stede recovers his crew and they sail to China, with Stede thinking that's where Ed went anyway

Ed meanwhile is actually just chillin, being a sad sack in the Republic of Pirates with Jackie. Then Ed hears Stede is planning or already on a voyage to China ("the fool, the idiot")

Ed realizes why: China is a very specific outlandish destination if it hadn't been his suggestion on the beach

So then Ed ends up chasing Stede who's chasing Ed & they're both going the wrong direction to get to each other. But they do both end up in/around China

#wipwednesday! once again no context but that's fine. just two dudes chillin on the beach while one goes "u wanna" and the other goes "go to sleep? yea" (">:(") slowly picking away at this wip, but i dug myself into a hole because i realized a few minutes in that having some knowledge that comes with the post-timeskip would probably help ... and i'm on the luffy v lucci fight right now, lmao.

text under the cut:

They lie out on the beach, under the stars and among the sand and crackling embers of a low fire. They’re quiet as the rest of the crew sleeps, Nami snuffling into her pillow and Usopp’s foot twitching against where his blanket has bunched around his knees while he settles. They doze under the stars and the brilliant light of a far away moon, waves coming and going, looking for constellations they don’t know and making up hushed stories for the ones they do. Granules of sand shift as a rough, warm hand brushes against his own, and then their palms slide together before locking into place. “I’m glad Zoro is here,” Luffy murmurs, as if they’ve ever needed words before. For the first time in days he actually feels a sense of peace. “Wouldn’t be anywhere else, Captain.” It’s foolish to think it’s over, that whatever storm they’ve brewed has calmed, but he lets his eye slipped closed for a moment to breathe. Be. The presence of their crew scattered around the remnants of their bonfire in a haphazard circle is more grounding than anything else has been in the past twenty-four hours. He can feel the loom of a shadow over him, the body hovering above his, and he opens his eye again to find Luffy bent over him, fist planted beside his head and knee digging into the sand between his. He hasn’t let go of his hand though, their fingers wound around one another, tight enough to snap them at the joint if he flexed his wrist. Embers burn in his gaze, glinting off eyes that are so dark they’re nearly black, regarding him with a dare, a challenge, and Zoro answers with his free hand slithering up his chest, mindful, careful, reverent of the skin Luffy can feel but can’t, the mottled scar that puts his pain and loss on full display, and traces a blunt nail along the dip in his collarbone. He curls his hand around the back of his neck, complete attention focused on Luffy before an iota breaks off to keep their surroundings in mind, the crew, any new potential threats, any more of the same he’s already been made to endure before. (But they made it through the day, made it through with only the normal of amount of bruises and scrapes—) As he shivers at the touch—pleasure, delight, anticipation, the fact it’s chilly and they let the fire burn low—Luffy then answers with a grin, a harsh slip of teeth.

The snorkel crew: Kourtney, Brett & Molly

The sun reflected in a tide pool becomes an eye of light

Molly on the rocks

Post-snorkeling poke bowls

Bass and chubs chillin in the kelp

Back to my usual oceanic bullshit. It’s been lovely getting to know the Pacific Ocean. Will be going back to the Atlantic soon. Yes, the Pacific is special, but let’s not be Pacific supremacists here. All the seas are gloriously one.

7/18/23: some snorkel sightings, Crescent Bay Beach, Laguna Beach, CA:

Harbor seal

Kelp bass

Topsmelt silverside

Garibaldi

Zebra-perch sea chub

Kokichi x Reader: Summer Fun

💜They/them pronouns are used!💜

CW: Nagito, mentions of being sunburnt, Nagito being Nagito,

Y/N is passed out asleep, dreaming of the beach and eating fruit on the beach. Summer was here after all.

Morning arrives. They hear somebody knocking on their door.

“Mmm, who is it? I’m trying to sleep…”

The person who knocks on the door then opens the door. It’s Kokichi

“Hey, Hey, Y/N!!! Why don’t we go to the beach later today?? It sounds like a lot of fun!”

Y/N slowly sits up and rubs their eyes. “Mmm? Dude I’m in the midst of waking up, Gimme a sec..”

“You’re being a sleepyhead… come on, I need an answer!” Kokichi exclaims.

They get outta bed and once they feel more awake, they smile and nod a bunch.

“I literally was dreaming about going to the beach! We had fruit and everything! FUCK YEAH!!!!” Y/N says with a big grin and sparkling eyes.

“Deep down, I knew you’d say yes, Y/N.” Kokichi smirks.

“Huh? How did you know that?” Y/N asks, tilting their head in confusion.

“Because the Ultimate Supreme Leader knows all!”

Later, the two make it to the cafeteria and eventually the rest of the crew makes it to the cafeteria.

Everybody gasps in amazement. There’s tons of summer themed fruit on tables along with regular breakfast. The pineapple slices are covered in chocolate.

“Wow, everything looks wonderful, Kirumi! Thank you!” Kaede exclaims as she’s getting her breakfast.

“You’re very welcome, Kaede! Please enjoy the food!” Kirumi replies with a warm smile.

Kokichi straight up grabs a whole ass grape vine along with his breakfast. Y/N grabs their breakfast as well.

✨time skip to after breakfast✨

“Y/N, let’s leave for the beach here in a bit, okay?” Before Y/N can nod, Kokichi is already gone and in his dorm, getting ready.

Y/N changes into their bathing suit and puts on a big hat and Kokichi enters the door. “Y/N, are you rea—“

Kokichi and S/O look at one another and Kokichi’s face is bright red.

“Y-You look… fine as hell! Y-You ready..?”

Y/N nods. “We can’t forget the fruit though, we have to get pineapples and strawberries along with grapes.”

“Yeah, one cannot have too many grapes, that’s fact. Also because I said so. We just HAVE to get grapes too.”

Y/N gasps. “We HAVE to get shit to build sandcastles too!”

“What are you, like five?” Kokichi asks in a joking matter.

He wants to build a sandcastle too, but doesn’t want to say it.

Just Kokichi just being a lil shit, what else is new

Y/N knows that he’s just messing with them, so they roll their eyes with a smirk.

The two leave and a few hours later, make it to the beach via D.I.C.E.’s van.

Teruteru is at the beach with some girl, they’re just chillin under a huge umbrella, building sandcastles together.

Totally not me, guys

Kokichi and Y/N find the ideal chilling spot. “Dammit, I forgot to get other food and other essentials! Luckily the market is nearby so I’ll get it! I’ll be back, beloved!” Kokichi leaves again, in a hurry.

An hour passes and Kokichi arrives with chips, stuff to make sandwiches and Nagito, strangely.

“Welcome back! You’re Nagito, right? I’ve heard some things about you. Come chill with us. We’re about to make an amazing sandcastle!” They exclaim, eyes sparkling once more.

“Oh, alright, let’s make a sand castle. Sounds like fun.”

Kokichi runs to get the sand and Y/N helps Kokichi build a sand castle. Nagito goes and picks up a lot of seashells as decoration.

“Nagito? What are you doing with the seashells…?” Kokichi asks as he’s picking them up.

“I figured that you guys would want your sand castle to look pretty or you could use them to make the windows! Trash like me would only destroy your castle.” Nagito responds with a sigh.

Nagito watches Y/N and Kokichi have the time of their lives, smoothing out the edges and Nagito chuckles to himself.

Y/N stops and looks at Nagito. “Huh..? Did you say something?”

The laughing gets a little louder and turns psychotic.

“I HAVE NEVER SEEN TWO PEOPLE BE THE VERY DEFINITION OF HOPE! This is AMAZING!”

Kokichi looks at his scared S/O and gives Nagito a death glare. “Nagito, what the actual fuck. Can’t you see you’re scaring them?? You need to chill out. Right now. Shoo, peasant.”

Nagito sighs and walks away.

Kokichi gives Y/N a gentle and reassuring hug. “Beloved, it’s alright, I promise..! Nagito just… gets like that sometimes. Are you gonna be okay?”

Wordlessly, Y/N nods.

The two use a few seashells for “lights” for the castle and the same one for a door. They both end up laughing a bunch and then finish.

“Welp, we’re finished. Wanna go chill in the ocean?” Kokichi asks, standing up. Y/N nods.

✨time skip a few hours✨

It’s dark outside. Teruteru and the girl he was with are gone, everybody is gone, except for the Ultimate Shithead Supreme Leader and his partner.

“Kokichi, are you ready to go home? It’s getting late…”

Kokichi eventually nods and calls D.I.C.E., who show up a little while after calling. “Sorry we took so long, Boss, we pulled a super funny prank and I’ll tell you about it on the way back.”

“Nehehe, I can’t wait to hear about it! Can ya help a guy out by helping us pick up our beach stuff..?” Kokichi exclaims and starts to pick up stuff and load it up.

Eventually it all gets packed up and everybody gets in, Kokichi notices that Y/N is sunburnt. “Y/N! You’re sunburnt! I’ll have Kirumi, myself and Mikan help you get back to normal!”

They both get back to The School of Gifted Juveniles and Kokichi is super protective of them until their sunburns go away.

Monday @3

At the crack of dawn, the sun's peekin' bright, Got two choices ahead, gotta make it right. One's the beach, where the waves crash loud, Other's the homework, gotta make my mama proud.

Grabbin' my board, feelin' the sand, Waves callin' my name, it's the grand plan. But then there's algebra, and history too, Gotta hit the books, it's what I gotta do.

With every wave I miss, every laugh I crave, Homework's waitin', it's a real close shave. Opportunity cost, it's a tricky game, Wish I could do both, but they ain't the same.

Chillin' with my crew, under the sun, Sounds like heaven, oh boy, it's fun. But equations and essays, they won't wait, Gotta buckle down, can't afford to be late.

So here I am, at this crossroad tight, Beach or books, gotta choose tonight. Opportunity cost, it's the real deal, In the end, gotta pick what's real.

“Don’t get it twisted--when I’m cruisin’ around H-town, or ridin’ the subway rail, or in a League meetin’ with the honchos, I’ll usually try to sling on some threads, but...” Marlon shrugs sheepishly. “Chillin’ beachside is my natural state of bein’, dude. I’m not tryin’ to psych anybody out...sometimes I’m not wearin’ a shirt because I just forget that the nearest beach’s far, far away...” 

(He leaves out that he rarely rides the subway or goes to any League meetings...and that he forgets most of the time...but that’s Marlon for you.)

“For real, I think the water’s always gonna be a major part of my life, an’ I’m happy just goin’ with the flow, dude,” he offers with a wistful smile. “When I’m out on the crashin’ waves with my crew, only the ocean can judge me!”

MY AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURE - UP, UP AND AWAY.....

MY AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURE – UP, UP AND AWAY…..

Throughout the 80s and 90s, I frequently journeyed home to Australia from Toronto, always spending a day or two in Hawaii to break up the very long journey half-way around the globe and chillin’ on the beach at Waikiki.  I had originally booked for 3 days in Honolulu so I could do the touristy thing before heading Down Under but thanks to Qantas being so short-staffed with pilots and crew, my…

Ann carries a tazer in her boot for some reason???

When both Ann and Shellington can't sleep the 2 will go to the HQ at night, get some wireless headphones, play some music and dance in there for a bit

Sometimes a crew member will catch this happening and absolutely refuses to interrupt the special moment between the 2

Both Ann and Shellington are stay up late, sleep in late kinda people

One time Ann accidentally fell asleep in Shellington's lab coat and Pearl was coming to vist. (It was a werid interaction to say the least)

When Ann is in the kitchen no one except the vegimals and Peso can help her. She's very picky about those helping her cook. If someone comes in when she's cooking she'll yell at them in spanish to get out with a chancla in her hand

She cusses at the crew sometimes when she's being pissy but only in spanish. (When Peso overheard it was... shocking???)

When she's in a bad mood and no one's doing anything right she'll go off on them in spanish about how to do it right and complain

She has immense pride about being just as strong as the Captain yet doesn't look it

Never let her play catch or throw something. The bitch helped her cousin practice softball. Prepare to get what ever you asked her to pass yeeted right at your face.

Did I mention that if you throw something at her she will either catch it or hit it with what ever is in her hand super hard and send it flying?

Her and Dashi definitely used to stay up late at Ann's place and watch old barbie movies while drinking wine. (Probably still do it on the ship with Kwazii and Tweak)

She owns one of those electric mini cars for kids that she can drive and uses it on land to go down to the beach or the playground to get her sister. The others find it hilarious and dumb but their the ones complaining about how their feet hurt when she's chillin in a electric car

She bought those leash backpacks for kids for her friends when they get drunk.

Ann is a gigglely drunk and/or the one who says weird but smart shit

She really likes swimming when she's on her yearly break from the team, she gets homesick from being away from the crew so much so she swims in the pool to help.

((Had a ninjago fan season idea that takes place after s13 and semi centers around Kai ninjago. This seasons theme: Vacation gone wrong! I have segmented it into episodes for convenience. I uh, may or may not dedicate some time to drawing content for this thing, so I apologize in advance. ((also it is. a long post.

Episode 1 - Answering machine going off and its’ Ronins voice over the machine: 'Looks like I’m gonna run late.. ugh this whole thing is falling apart isn't it. But we'll make it work. I got you a ferry to take you there, one of the cruise ships. It was the least I could do for now... I'll meet you there, I promise.'     >Cuts to Dareth on the boat, taking him and the rest of the people to ‘Aves Isle’.    >While everyone is getting off, Dareth helps a naga lady with carrying some of her stuff because Dareth ninjago.    >Naga ladys' name is 'Olive', she is a semi native. She starts talking about the islands' history. 'there used to be a temple but we don't know what happened to it, but it sunk into the ground.    >two investigate the area because Dareth has time to wait on Ronin.    >Upon finding whats’ left of the area and entering, the atmosphere changes and inflicts a weird curse or whatever.    >Dareth starts getting progressively more pushy Episode 2 - After s13 Wu wants to do more adventures so the bounty is just flying wherever the wind takes it I guess w/e {{Also realized I didn’t write much for Wu this entire rest of the story so I am assuming he’s having a grand ol’ time being on vacation}}    >wow it is night time, the bounty is flying in    >The crew ask where they are and Zane starts to go on his normal informative spiel before getting cut off.    >Oh there’s a thing on the radar. What the heck is that thing flying towards us OH GOD THAT’S A BIG ANGRY DRAGON    >Bounty has two smaller 'runner' boats? I guess? marketing. Two of the ninja hop on those and fly off.    >Zane and Jay distract the dragon so the bounty can safely land but it turns out there are two dragons and Jay gets taken down first. Yay soft landing.    >Bounty makes it safely over the fences that are on the island    >Zane gets taken out.    >Cuts back to Dareth and Olive still rooting around. activates something and wow a lava fountain. the ground is glowing in weird markings!    >Dareth snaps at Olive and she wells up and runs away and Dareth snaps out of it temporarily like 'oh crud why did I do that I didn't mean to be so bossy' and goes after her    >Olive gets overtaken and now: pointy.    >Dareth tries to stop her but she jumps into the portal lava whatever? hole?? not sure.    >He, of course, jumps in after.    >Fire Dareth.    >Random golden-looking platform chained to the bottom of the hole they are in. ominous voice: hey how about you get these locks free and we'll rebuild the temple? nice.    >Temple platform rises    >Zane gets tossed into an area? park? fenced in something or another??    >oh hi Jay    >oh community service sorting trash from recyclables? can do.

Episode 3 - The remaining ninja visit the two who are in 'time out' before deciding to have a look around the island.    >They take a nice walk down the beach Cole reminisces about the time Kai was extremely afraid of water    >Kai frowns as a laugh track is played. Claims he has gotten better at it but screams when Nya splashes him.    >Zane and Jay are done with service and its like 'okay how about we try to get out again?’    >Zane suggests doing it in the broad daylight since the dragons went out at night and may be nocturnal    >they try    >they get taken out again    >another round of community service    >sees another aircraft fall out of the sky    >guard: wow more property damage.    >sundown. lloyd notices that something strange is happening with some of the residents randomly getting more nippy and then not. strange. (Ninja get into an arguments with the locals or whatever)    >Stop by community service area    >Jay is now frustrated    >rest recuperate at where they parked the bounty    >Nya: well nothing is really going on here we can probably leave once the two are done breaking the law     >Ronin shows up to the area and is greeted sourly by Jay ninjago

Episode 4 - The ninja are ready to leave when they notice a weird ominous structure that wasn't there before.    >Crew investigate    >oh its hot. you can go in, Kai ninjago    >kai enters    >oh frick fire dareth    >kai ninjago, walking out and is krispy: there is a problem.    >three get out of service    >ronin asks if the little runner ships are 'truly' important    >hekcin steals their engine or whatever    >regroup at the bouty    >Kai: hey uhh, Dareth is peeved haha, I don't get it though he and I hang out every now and then.    >Ronin, internally: oh god he's really mad I didn't follow plans to a T-    >the ninja exchange awkward glances of guilt    >decide it'd be best to talk to him tomorrow, or try to. Also, more people are randomly getting upsetti, Jay is still frustrated.

Episode 5 - jay still has a bad attitude. lloyd is also starting to get upset. Cole tries to diffuse the situation but it causes the two to point their noses up at each other in silent anger. great.    >Kai enters in the temple again, which is even more built than it was before.   >Dareth being snarky   >kai apologizes and tells him he wasn't aware of it, and that he thought the two were good friends, reminding him of the times they hung out outside of mission things.   >Dareth calms down a bit   >finds a reason to be mad again.   >Ronin shows up   >'ronin?'   >''Told you I'd meet you here, what didn't you believe me? not really much of a vacation. How about we get some fresh air?"   >Dareth approaches   >oh no he's really hot.   >cheek caress with the robotic arm. gae.   >two head out. Room is no longer unbearably hot. good!   >squad enters in. goes into one of the inner chambers   >oh look the towns people overtaken by rage are building. nice.   >oh no jay and lloyd are fighting again.   >grabs attention of workers.   >the ninja get their butts handed to themselves, and lose Jay and lloyd in the process. nice   >cuts to Ronin and Dareth walking on the beach.   >Ronin smooth talking, normal Ronin behvior   >Flames and whatever fade from Dareth and he snaps out of it completely and immediately starts pouring out how he feels bad about being rude to Olive and whatever the bad guy is and what the plans of the temple are.   >Ronin: maybe we should tell the ninja. I don't want us to get involved anymore.

Episode 6 - Ronin informs the ninja of what's up.   >Nya: oh no we gotta stop this !   >Dareth: I want to help.   >Ronin: no we are on vacation we shouldn't have to; leave it up to them.   >Dareth: no I started this, this is my fault, I have to make it up to Olive and everyone <:(   >Ronin: :/   >Zane: we should focus on. not making the locals angry because that seems to draw them towards the temple.   >Ninja proceed to do good deeds, while part of them break off to do research   >learn about the bad guy dunn dun dunn!

episode 7 - Kai ninjago somehow is the one keeping the most level head out of everyone here and things get tense again. is it potentially out of character? Well he's mad that lloyd and jay are overtaken but he's doing a good job at self control.   >cuts to lloyd and Jay   >lloyd: this is dumb! why are we helping!? We're supposed to be stopping this!   >Jay: we're helping because YOU dragged us into this with your plan!   >argue. great   >bad guy laughing or whatever, oh the voice has a physical form that's manifesting from the heat of the temple. 'Good, soon I will be reborn and reclaim the island!'   >Olive inform him that Dareth has broken the spell   >bad guy furious and confused but is also like 'whatever we have a lot more important things to worry about'   >Nya and Zane are stepping on each others' toes.   >ronin and Dareth relay what they learned.   >kai sitting in the bounty looking disheveled   >'Human pinata makes the kids happy'. Horrifying.   >story about how the bad guy was dispersed after 'other beings' landed on the island and taught he locals the importance of peace and not war or whatever. It was probably some Oni and dragons chillin.   >Cole: oh! I mean we have two 'other beings' and those are the dragons, but they seem really angry and territorial   >Kai: maybe they want something and just haven't gotten it? ((Id have to mention one of the festivals known as the 'laughing dragon' festival or whatever but it's fallen into obscurity due to the dragons not being happy. Mention that sometime during episode 3))   >investigation time part 3.   >learn that there's a fruit that the dragons like, but the recipee was lost on how to make the disk for them   >well gang, time to get cooking! thank goodness Zane is on our-   >just kidding Zane and Nya are gone now because they got too angry at each other and went to 'get space' but they're probably at the temple now.

Episode 8 - Gotta do the cookin by the book!   >the ingredients are gathered.   >Dareth insists that they used a very speicific brand of exctact.   >Cole has no idea how to cook well   >Kai starts putting things together.   >Cole: when did you learn to cook?   >Kai: Well I had to take care of my sister buutt.. I dunno I think being the master of fire, cooking comes easy. ;)   >Cole: if there's any way I can help just let me know.   >kai: oh, yeah, bust open those things.   >Cole literally smashes open the fruit sending bits everywhere   >good ol happy comedic moment.   >first try   >Cole: . looks. uh. strange.   >Ronin: I am afraid to taste it.   >Dareth: oh I'm sure it can’t be- -face scrunch-   >Kai: <:)   >Dareth: well... I swallowed it.. at least..   >cuts to temple again   >bad guy is like 'we need more people how come everyone stopped coming?? someone needs to go out and start beating people up >:('   >Olive reports that the ninja were gathering ingredients for something or another   >Bad guy is like 'okay send some people there and stop them'

episode 9 - after the 5th attempt it's much more palatable so they make a larger batch and stick it in a boat all fancied up and now have to deliver it   >oh god angry people   >why are they looking at us hhh   >fite   >Kai: we legit cannot let any of this spill otherwise I'm going to scream.   >only way to get it away from the people is to go by ocean   >Ronin: we'll do what we can but you gotta do this kai. You're tough.   >kai: ahaha I still don't like water but!   >boat on water   >gets to the part outside of the gate   >oddly silent.   >kai proceeds to put it on the beach and starts calling out for the dragons and starts making noise or whatever. "im gonna kick your sand! haha! what are you going to do about it??'   >Dragons emerge, ready to fight   >sees the offering. Kai: it's okay it's okay, this is for you.   >backs away from the boat   >lets the dragons have it.   >the smaller one is curious about him and approaches him after   >good ol’ kai dragon interaction. yay confidence!

Episode 10 - wow I sure do hate this sorting plant by now, thinks Ronin ninjago.   >tossed in the sorting plant Cole: this isn't too bad.

     Crackling fires, beer mugs clinking together, and the sound of laughter set the scene on a remote beach in a scarce corner of the New World. A not-so rare sight --- the Red Force and a Navy battleship anchored next to each other at an island and there was no sound of cannonfire at all. The risk was great, but Lyra knew full well her battleship was the only Navy vessel in these waters... they should be able to spend a night with the Red Hair pirates without interruption. Her new Marines, the draftees, eyed the Red Hair pirates with suspicion and kept to themselves around their own fires; Lyra didn’t think they’d cause any trouble... but she had her eye on them. What was keeping them from reporting her or blackmailing her? Nothing. She’d cross that bridge if it came to it, though.

     Battleship 71, or BB-71 as it was officially designated as, had a long history with the Red Force. It had chased the pirate ship countless nautical miles, through storms, through wars, and through peace; both ships had fired canons at each other and both ships survived, and both ships’ respective crews had interesting relationships with each other, not just counting the pirate captain and the Rear Admiral.

     Some of her sharpshooters were standing off with Yassop, pointing out components of their Navy issued rifles and discussing with him tactics on handling sniper on sniper fire. One of her largest Marines was in an eating contest with Roux (and losing). Honestly, it never got old to watch her Marines so readily interacting with Shanks’ crew. This sort of dynamic between them had been in place for perhaps ten or so years now... A respectful relationship bordering on friendship, ignoring their differences in favor of improving their understanding of each other. Her Marines knew full well that 99.9% of pirates were violent and dangerous scum that had to removed from the seas, but the Red Hair Pirates were in that special 0.1% that weren’t. They were mostly just fathers sailing around and looking to have a good time.

     Lyra his a small smile behind her hand as she watched some of her younger Marines harass Benn Beckman (can you imagine!?). Her Marines liked sparring with the pirates and getting tips from them because there was no pressure; pirates weren’t Marines, so there were no rules and FRANKLY --- who better to learn about fighting pirates from than actual pirates? Especially the good guys on a crew of a Yonko? His crew were good teachers, and it was new and exciting to learn from a pirate instead of from a Marine.

     She took a drink of her ale when Beckman finally got up to leave, and she leaned over to Shanks, “It’s really good of him to play with the kids,” she joked. Her youngest Marines weren’t kids, but they were eighteen or so years old. They were essentially babies in the grand scheme of things. “That little female in the group that just took Benn away? She’s one of the ones I had to confiscate Benn’s poster from. Look at how she’s blushing, my goodness... the poor thing... Benn, not her. How often he have a love-sick 18 year old Marine asking for tips on cracking skulls with her rifle?”

     A fight broke out nearby and her gaze sharply turned to it to make sure it wasn’t anything that needed to be broken up... but it was fun. Just a few of hers and a few of Shanks’ having a drunk wrestling match. 

      “How was it that you even met Beckman, anyway?”  she asked, furrowing her brow and looking over to Shanks. “I don’t think I ever asked? He’s older than you by a fair bit, isn’t he?”

—    BASICS.  

▸     IS    YOUR    MUSE    TALL    /    SHORT    /    AVERAGE ? talllllllll-ish? definitely above average at 5′11″

▸      ARE    THEY    OKAY    WITH    THEIR    HEIGHT ? he wouldn’t mind growing a bit taller just to outrank some of his crew mates, but he isn’t too interested in being taller than franky. 

▸      WHAT’S    THEIR    HAIR    LIKE ? green. very green. and there’s a soft touch to it, most similar to a freshly cut lawn. 

▸     DO    THEY    SPEND    A    LOT    OF    TIME    ON    THEIR    HAIR     /    GROOMING ? none at all. occasionally, he’d feel the need to shave from the itchiness. in regards to his hair, he showers once a week, but due to complaints around the ship, he’d dump his head into water after most workouts to clean off the sweat. 

▸      DOES   YOUR   MUSE   CARE   ABOUT   THEIR   APPEARANCE   /   WHAT    OTHERS    THINK ? he isn’t interested at all. he’s too focused on his own ambitions to blink an eye at how he looks and he has enough confidence from his strength alone. 

—    PREFERENCES.

▸      INDOORS    OR    OUTDOORS ?     outdoors. ▸      RAIN    OR    SUNSHINE ? sunshine. ▸     FOREST    OR    BEACH ?      forest. ▸      PRECIOUS    METALS    OR    GEMS ?      metals. ▸     FLOWERS    OR    PERFUMES ?     no specifics, but flowers. ▸     PERSONALITY    OR    APPEARANCE ?      personality. ▸     BEING    ALONE    OR    BEING    IN    A    CROWD ?     he’s used to being alone. ▸     ORDER    OR    ANARCHY ?     neither really matters to him. ▸      PAINFUL    TRUTHS    OR    WHITE    LIES ?     painful truths. ▸     SCIENCE    OR    MAGIC ?     science only cause it’s more plausible. ▸      PEACE    OR    CONFLICT ?     conflict. ▸     NIGHT    OR    DAY ?     night. ▸      DUSK    OR    DAWN ?     dawn. ▸   WARMTH    OR    COLD ?     warmth. ▸     MANY   ACQUAINTANCES    OR    A    FEW    CLOSE    FRIENDS ?     few close friends. ▸     READING    OR    PLAYING    A    GAME ?      playing a game.

—    QUESTIONNAIRE.

▸      WHAT    ARE    SOME    OF    YOUR    MUSE’S    BAD    HABITS ? he cannot stay on a straight path for the life of him !!! zoro gets lost easily without even noticing, following directions are a blunder to him, always recognizing the directions as the opposite of what was actually said. 

zoro is an alcoholic, often  drinking booze as if it was natural for him to hold a bottle in his hands. though it hasn’t affected him much post-timeskip, it’s easy for him to be lured with alcohol -- partially, it also has to do with his confidence of being able to deal with anything that heads his way. 

▸      HAS    YOUR    MUSE    LOST    ANYONE    CLOSE    TO    THEM ?      HOW    HAS    IT    AFFECTED    THEM ? kuina! his childhood friend and rival who he swore to defeat no matter what to become the greatest among the dojo. he made a promise with her to see who could become the world’s greatest swordsman but she died the next day. he inherited her sword, wado ichimonji, which he carries til today, promising upon the blade to become the world’s greatest. 

▸      WHAT    ARE    SOME    FOND    MEMORIES    YOUR    MUSE    HAS ? only if these memories are mentioned off-handed or he’s reminded of them. he views the early days within the east blue with the straw hats as something fond. little moments of their adventures, banquets, meeting old comrades -- zoro isn’t the type to reminiscence, but those memories are something precious. 

▸     IS    IT    EASY    FOR    YOUR    MUSE    TO    KILL ? yes or at least, it’s gotten easier with time. he views it as a choice in some cases, deciding whether it worthy or not to kill an enemy based off of how much they’re a threat.  

▸      WHAT’S    IT    LIKE    WHEN    YOUR    MUSE    BREAKS    DOWN ? emotions are generally saved, any outward expression of something other than anger is rare. thus, the first reaction is always related to anger, fixated normally on himself ( but it can be an outburst directed at others ) and then comes moments of silence, self reflection almost. not really thinking, but just time to process the caused event. it’s not something that can dampen him for days. he’s able to find a solutions pretty quickly, to ease out any heavy feelings so it doesn’t weigh him down. 

▸      IS    YOUR    MUSE    CAPABLE    OF    TRUSTING    SOMEONE    WITH    THEIR    LIFE ? oh, it’s being entrusted with full capacity to 9 people right now. more than the world, he understands that the straw hats have ( most of ) their trust in him so zoro finds it only fair the feeling is mutual. they’ve all proven more than capable in their strengths and while he doesn’t want to be saved, he knows there are people who would be able to take charge when he’s in need of it. 

▸      WHAT’S    YOUR    MUSE    LIKE    WHEN    THEY’RE    IN    LOVE ? a blunder, a mess, not even recognition that it’s love. not at the very beginning anyway. zoro saves his emotions for something like his ambitions, for partying, fighting, even just alcohol. being in love takes the emotion that can be put in those bubbles and drags it elsewhere, it’s enforcing and a distraction. he spends his first few moments with the feeling trying to rid it but once it sinks in, he’s not really much better than from before. ever so clumsy, any attention is drawn to his figure of love and my god! it’d be a new feeling, one that he has to take time to attune to and in the process of it comes a lot of mistakes and edgy “I’M NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU” denial phases.

parenthood headcanons (helens household) 🐛🐚🍊🌈

After helen remarries with garry's biology teacher, (george) she now has help around the house, and isnt completely busy all the time trying to support her children (she had to work 2 jobs w rly long hours and its just a really emotionally and physically exhausting mess but she quit one of them after getting remarried bc now they have dual income) Anyways she still does a ton but its not nearly as overbearing !!

with this new freetime she takes on new hobbies like making crafts and stuff like pottery, knitting, cross-stitching and embroidery, etc !!

one day garry gets interested in how knitting works and she teaches him

they attempt to knit a whole blanket

Garrys end has big ole gaps in it but its okay !! Hes trying

One day he finally gets it and makes julie and tod a get-along sweater lol

tod and julie married bc julie got pregnant (the babys not even tods,, but hes convinced that packers can get ppl prego) but immediately after the baby was born they divorced

Helen helps julie be a mom and they bond over being stressed together

They all still live in helens house and get along really well EXCEPT FOR THE TIME tod almost burned the house down tryna make them all a giant surprise breakfast as gratitude for letting him live there

He started making it at 3 am. 3 AM.

needless to say the household wasnt very pleased waking up at a cursed hour trying to extinguish an oven fire

Helen still says hes only here temporarily but everyone knows thats not true lol

George ends up being a really good dad to garry and gives words of advice to tod whenever tod is about to something reckless then tod will pause and then completely ignore the advice due to lack of impulse control

tod is a raw chaotic entity

Garry is completely unaware of the negative repercussions of tod doing whatever until it actually happens

and THEN he panics

tod and garry @ walmart:

Tod: *pointing to the 10 ft tall cage holding the beach balls* im gonna climb this

Garry: aw yeah !

Tod: *climbs to the top* *cage tips over onto garry*

Garry: *is crushed*

They dont learn from their mistakes andll do it again next week

julie quits the cheer team to start a garage band with her friends and tod. Garry is their tech crew/roadie

Their band name is Cherry Barb !! like the fish

They never make it big but they play in a few basements and even got one of their songs played on the local radio

julie starts going out with another girl in the band and they hang out at night in the streets and kick dumpsters and hold hands and get malts really late at night from ur local 24 hour diner 😳😳

Eventually helen finds out and her reaction is just: I thought u and tod were still a thing ?????

[Julie voice] mom n o

julie takes an hour off from school to focus on. Yknow. Taking care of her child

But most of her free time is spent doing band stuff (free time doesnt include taking care of the baby)

Tod only works when someone calls him to have their house painted, so most of the time he can care for the baby when julie's at school

When he gets a work order he'll drive over to one of the other households to have them watch over the baby OR he'll just wear one of those baby carrier things and paint with his baby just. Chillin there

Tod is 17 and is trans n queer and kinda Stewpid ngl

Garry is 15 and hes just. Forever questioning (crazy take: helen was right abt the vhses. He DID just want to explore filmmaking.)

Julie is 16 and questioning !! she dont know yet but shes getting there

When tod and julie got together it was kindof just a Mess and they were both in questioning and THEN A BABY HAPPENED but its fine; theyre really open towards each other and go to each other when they need like ADVICE Advice u know the kind 😔

anyways garry has a camera and films tod doing stupid stunts. Such as the walmart ball pit thing conundrum

U know the one vine where the rocket thing launches and the guy filming is like Oh Damb and then it hits him? Thats garry and tod

Helen is a super supportive mom even when she doesnt understand most things her kids are going through and shes learned to be aware of their privacy and respect their hobbies (as long as it isnt anything harmful, tod being stupid dont count)

George questions the kids actions a lot but not in a malicious way, hes just kinda confused most of the time

As a lot of ppl would be, dealing w these three kids

They all go out as a family to burger king and sit in those giant round corner booth seats and garry and tod fight over who gets to wear the burger king crown

While theyre busy arguing george takes it and wears it lol

Anyways thats it for now !!
