New TOH Content From Disney's Chibiverse Valentine's Day Episode!
youtube
Since the episode is both A.) Over 22 minutes long & B.) Features numerous characters from various Disney owned IP's; I will only be posting screenshots that contain TOH characters.
Now that's out of the way... Let's get started!
Tumblr media
Considering how Lumity heavy this Chibiverse episode is, it amuses me that Hunter is the first TOH character to make an appearance.
Tumblr media
He's manning the kiss cam! He takes the responsibility very seriously.
Tumblr media
Lumity arrives! On... Stringbean... wearing outfits that they don't wear in Season 3. You know, the season Stringbean hatches in.
I suppose the Chibiverse never claimed to follow continuity, lol.
Tumblr media
The episode has a "couples compete against other couples in a game show" set up. Luz and Amity are chosen as one of the couples to compete!
Tumblr media
The Chibiverse episodes aren't really much more than the Chibi Tiny Tales shorts complied together, with some new animated content revolving around a wafer thin "plot" being used to connect the segments.
In this segment, Luz is riding a rollercoaster!
Tumblr media
And now she's on a ferris wheel with Amity! Mere seconds after being seen riding another ride, lol.
Tumblr media
Game show format.
Tumblr media
Lumity tease another couple about how they're totally in love with each other despite claiming to be friends by mentioning that they also started out as friends. (And before that, enemies!)
Tumblr media
Anyone else wondering why Amity's eyes have been half-lidded nearly the entire time?
Tumblr media
Lumity being recognized and used in official Disney licensed content!
Amusingly, instead of it being called their "ship name", it's referred to as their "power couple" name. Lol.
Tumblr media
This little point icon thing-y is adorable.
Tumblr media
But I think that the little heart with their faces on it on top of it is even more adorable, lol.
Tumblr media
Next bit of TOH related content in this episode, the Lumity Date Chibi Tiny Tales short!
I did not screenshot any of it because it can be found elsewhere online.
Tumblr media
Question one for the couples: What's your partner's favorite food?
Tumblr media
And Amity's favorite food is apparently fairy pie! This makes the fact that she made a fairy pie was Luz at one point even sweeter than it already was.
Tumblr media
And Amity loves it! Luz blushes with pride.
Tumblr media
More teasing!
Amity also looks weirdly like a cat in this 'shot, lol.
Tumblr media
Second question for the couples: What is your partner's favorite color?
Turns out, Amity's is lavender!
(Also: Glyphs apparently work in the Chibiverse.)
Tumblr media
Only that's actually... wrong?!
As it turns out, Amity's real favorite color is... periwrinkle.
Tumblr media
Luz & Amity try to argue that lavender & periwrinkle are so similar that they might as well be the same color, but no sell.
Tumblr media
Yet more teasing. This is the main running gag for the episode, and yes, by this point, it starts to feel like it's overstayed it's welcome.
Tumblr media
And now it's time to watch The Amphibia House Chibi Tiny Tales short!
I don't know what this short has to do with "love" (Since all of the shorts are supposed to revolve around it in this episode), but maybe it considers Luz and Anne's new friendship to be a form of platonic love or something. Lol.
Tumblr media
Time for the final question!
Tumblr media
What does your partner want to be when they grow up?
Tumblr media
We never actually get to see either Luz or Amity answer this question.
Tumblr media
Because they tie with another couple and thus "win" the game show basically by default, lol.
Tumblr media
But we do get to see them kiss on the kiss cam!
Tumblr media
I literally just included this because Luz & Amity are both blushing.
Tumblr media
Enough Lumity! Now let's get some eleventh hour Huntlow!
Tumblr media
I love how this is how we finally got an official Huntlow kiss, lol. Hunter is about as shocked as I was to see it!
And that's all folks. Hope you liked my rundown!

One Piece Shipping War - Grand Finale!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut.
Propaganda for Franky x Robin:
Do I really need to explain?
The old married couple who's healthy, Enies Lobby (and all their appearances) are their propaganda really.
It’s all about the maturity!
Their dynamic is perfect and their pasts are so similar. I love the chemistry between them as well as their introduction that helped build the connection and shared history they already have.
they are THE t4t bi4bi ship | franky telling robin "existing is not a crime" immediately puts this at number one for me | they are opposites (bright and loud + quiet and goth) but also they're both so eccentric and silly <3 | THEY WEAR MATCHING OUTFITS
Mom and dad Straw Hat
They are STILL the Mom and the Dad of the Straw Hats, this is the one thing I don't care what Oda says <3 Also their interactions in Enies Lobby and Thriller Bark are amazing.
In my eyes, they are married. Some of my favorite character interactions in the manga/anime and in official art.
Oda had Franky call Robin his wife at least once
Your honor they’re married
I'M GOING TO PUT LINKS IN MY EXAMPLES (Mod note: I linked to the whole post, the propaganda was going to get too long otherwise. But I will copy this line:...) They immediatly clicked in Enies Lobby, Franky saved Robin with both words and actions ("Your existence is not a sin!"), and then she grabbed his balls.
The duality of two kids who were just trying to chase their dream and having circumstances outside their control (the government) take everything they love away from them, but one choosing solitude and the other adopting every other person in a bad circumstance??? I love them. Plus they literally had couple moments from the first interaction.
The ultimate t4t couple idk what else you need theyre iconic
A wholesome ship of a woman who feels the need to be constantly on edge trying to relax and a man who is a 110% himself from the moment we see him. the joy of frobin is the causal domesticity, in many color spreads and especially post timeskip we can see them casually enjoying the others company.
Remember when Franky was in Chopper's body in Punk Hazard and every time he spoke Robin was like "Franky. Stop talking. Do not talk while you're in Chopper's body."
idk like. he's obsessed with her. she's his weird Goth gf and he's her himbo. they have matching outfits. I love them.
Look. It's Franky and Robin. Literally the only two characters that make sense to ship on the Sunny. Their arcs are inextricably intertwined (water7/enies lobby). Also LOOK AT THEM interacting, both during their arcs, but also thriller bark, or post time skip. I love them. Also robin crushed frankys balls.
funny big robot man & analytical smart research lady power couple... silly x smart... himbo x researcher... augh... so good
They are the ship for taxpaying adults your honor I LOVE them they’re literally freak4freak and they share such a fucking powerful arc together (Water 7).
that moment she let him sleep on her lap in punk hazard was sooo cute <3 -- The matching thigh highs and bottoms in film z can NOT be understated. -- Strawhat mom and dad -- Let's not forget the way robin convinced franky to join ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) -- she also indirectly called his balls "treasure" so,,, -- the way their stories are so closely intertwined...they were both keys to destroy the world...the way they instantly connected over that...the soulmate-ism of it all...
they . them. girlboss and malewife. that's it.
She grabbed his balls. He totally liked it.
He's so silly and she loves it. She's so scary and he loves it. She grabbed his balls in public.
They will be endgame trust me. Franky doesn't treat any other girl like he treats Robin. There dynamic in Water 7 and Thriller Bark was and always will be one of the best in all of OP.
Propaganda for Nami x Vivi:
Yes, Nami has a new girlfriend on every island, but her heart belongs to Vivi. Vivi in turn refuses to marry, because her heart belongs with a pirate ❤
THEY’RE LESBIANS! IN LOVE! another point: my friends who are watching OP for the first time came to me and asked “so Nami and Vivi… they’re gay right?” So it’s pretty apparent to even newcomers
I just think they’re neat! And in love. Nami gave up money for Vivi that’s True Love
Anyone who saw them can just tell they’re gay. Like Nami gave up money for her
They're one of the rare lesbian ships in op, they care for each other so much !!
Lesbians
Lesbians
They were so gay that Luffy offered to share food to cheer Nami up when they were separated.
i dare you to read Baroque Works through Alabasta without shipping them. the way Vivi and Nami are so affectionate with each other, and Vivi putting saving her nation on hold to get Nami healthy again ???
Lesbians
Let’s go lesbians!!!!! Ok but actually, I think Nami saw a lot of herself in Vivi (ha) especially when Igaram “died” and then throughout their journey together Nami really encouraged her to open up to the crew. Nami showed Vivi it was ok to ask for help just like Luffy showed her.
Vivi was Nami's gay awakening and you cant change my mind. Nami was in love with Vivi and Vivi def had some kind of feeling for Nami. They were so close and they were more then just 'gal pals'
Lesbian Pirate Supremacy! they clearly care a lot about each other and considering when nami meets vivi she is probably one of the first close female friends she gets to have.

i love this so much
Tumblr media
becuz on one hand it looks like atsushi is the light breaking apart the otherwise darkness oozing out of akutagawa
like we all know akutagawa's design is super sexy becuz he was specifically designed to blend into the dark - becuz he's a character so much surrounded by darkness (it's why his little bug eyes dont have any light in them) but here, he's not completely dark, becuz look, atsushi is coming in w/ the contrast
and atsushi in general serves as a figure of light for akutagawa not becuz he can "use" atsushi to prove himself to dazai, like akutagawa initially thought - but simply becuz atsushi has become something for akutagawa, whether he'll admit to it or not
not even from a shipping lens - atsushi is just something to akutagawa - something worth dying for
this pic is also similar to how he stops being an all encompassing drenched in darkness figure when he gives rashomon to atsushi
look at how they switch
Tumblr media Tumblr media
/
and on the other hand it looks like akutagawa is the force protecting atsushi and his light (becuz the coat melts into the ground)
now we know atsushi isn't a fully white/light character becuz no one is realistically all good or all bad (also if we're looking at it through just chracter design, then the character who pops up in my head as predominantly colored white is shibusawa and he's a piece of shit)
anyway
atsushi is relatively balanced (not developed fully into what all the characters are reaching for - a balance of their "good" and "bad" sides becuz we all know atsushi still has a way to go) but atsushi is a character who aims to do the "right" thing (though occasionally for selfish reasons) and often times becomes the "light" figure for other characters (kyouka for example) but he himself is held back becuz of his past and his inability to move on (i dont blame him tho becuz his "past" was like a few months ago for him lmao)
atsushi needs to make peace and understand his own "dark" side before he can ever develop
when atsushi wears rashomon
Tumblr media
he becomes a predominantly, in terms of design, dark/black character - which i think is on purpose becuz one thing akutagawa gives him is assurance that the past is just the past (in his own mean akutagawa way) and atsushi isn't really a character who we see deal with his past (king of trauma dumping but never actually talking about his past)
of course this is the edited version from the @akutagawa-daily account but the og pic
Tumblr media
is still like that
i feel like i could add something about dazai being there but it might be a reach so
sorry this is ramble-y and doesn't make sense but i had to get it off my chest
maybe one day i'll rewrite this in a way where you can tell what im saying (i will not)
saying dark side so many times made me feel like a 2012 emo kid aslfkdjf

Catching up on some of the behind the scenes stuff. My take on what we have seen so far...
Mike having a similar look to season 1 is so good for him. I think it shows he is more comfortable with himself. He's going back to his roots when he was the character everyone loved. So I think we will get a more authentic Mike and Paladin Mike back right off the bat.
I like the blue polo with the yellow collar. And it looks like his jacket is a little green in the video with him and El (like a sage green/greyish green color). It reminds me a bit of the color block polo he was wearing in S3 which makes me wonder if Will is going to have a matching one this season too.
I say this as someone who realized byler was happening in S4 and started shipping it because it was the logical conclusion to draw. I tend to interpret things in a logical way. Byler wasn't something I wanted to happen and forced onto the narrative. I saw it happening and realized it was a good story and there was evidence backing it up. So when I say that Mike and El broke up in S4 it's not because I want it to be true (I honestly do not give a fuck about their relationship and gave it very little thought prior to coming on here). It's because it's the most logical thing to happen based on the story that we saw.
That being said, Mike and El's relationship closely resembles Nancy and Steve's. El broke up with him with the From El letter and he knows this. I've written about this a lot so I'm not going to get into it here, but the fact that at the end of S4 shows a 2 day time jump and after this point Mike and El aren't even talking and they are rolling their eyes at each other is meant to indicate that something happened with them during that time jump that wasn't good.
The fact that S5 seems to pick up a couple years later (judging by El's hair) I think is further proof that they already filmed part of S5 back when they were doing S4. The part that picks up right where S4 ended I think was already done. So I think this is where we will get to see a clarification of what exactly happened during that 2 day jump and get confirmation that Mike and El broke up already.
Their relationship was defined as being immature and made both of them feel badly about themselves. They were already at a point where they wanted it over so there is no reason narratively why that needs to drag out over 2 years when neither of them is happy.
Especially considering Mike's new look where he is dressing more like himself. They have established for 2 seasons that Mike isn't himself when he is with El. So him acting more comfortable and looking more like himself all points to him and El having broken up a while ago. He had time to figure out what was authentic for him already over a time jump.
I think Mike and El's conversation has more to do with reestablishing a friendship. They didn't communicate well when they were in a relationship and El dismissed Mike's feelings a lot (the conversation about bullying being one of those times), so I think it's possible they drifted apart during the couple year jump because I think it's hard for Mike to trust her. I saw people comparing it to the train track conversation back in S1 and I think that's accurate. That conversation was meant to indicate the first time Mike started seeing her as a friend (even though they really didn't reach an understanding here the way he thought). But I think this time it actually will establish a real friendship in a way that was different than before.
I do think think it's likely Mike and Will are together at this point in the beginning of S5. But either way I think a lot of this conversation with El has to do with Mike telling her how he feels about Will and them being honest with each other for the first time.
Mike and El have very few one on one scenes together. I think I can count on one hand the amount of conversations they have had where it was just the two of them and a group wasn't around them. To me, this indicates that this conversation is actually important. Unlike a lot of their other conversations where they weren't communicating well or they weren't acting like themselves. But I think in keeping with the pattern the show has always had, this is likely the last one on one scene with them until the end of the season. They tend to not interact much in the middle of every season so I would be surprised if there was much more content with just the two of them.
This scene is very platonic just based on their body language. They aren't close or acting in any romantic way. And again, the fact that they seem comfortable indicates that they have had time to reflect on their relationship and heal from it. Mike is never comfortable around El in S3 or S4. He is never comfortable with her touching him or being close with her. So the fact that he is here, is further proof to me that it's already over. He isn't pretending anymore (I think he was done with this by the end of S4).
Another thing that makes me think they haven't spent much time together over a jump of a few years is Mike directly telling Will in S4 that he wished he spent less time with El and more with him. He already made the mistake of not spending time with Will and regretted it. He isn't going to do that again. So I think it's possible that he has been spending more time with Will to make up for it and ended up pulling away from El. And this conversation in S5 is meant to be an acknowledgement of that and the fact that he can have a romantic relationship with Will and a platonic one with El at the same time. Two people he has been struggling to have a relationship at the same time with since pretty much the beginning of the series.
Very curious to see what Will's look is because I don't think it's a bowl cut. I always thought that hairstyle was meant to indicate him holding on to his childhood and all of his trauma. If he has a new look I think it's a good hint that not only is he more comfortable with himself but that him and Mike are already together at the beginning of S5. The show has already established that the two of them are only comfortable with themselves when they are together. Mike being true to himself is a good thing. It shows he learned and grew from his immature behavior in the past few seasons. I would be surprised if Will's look doesn't indicate the same based on where his character arc left off at the end of S4.

Courtship Behaviors
(Happy early Valentine’s Day! I wrote this to share with some specific writer friends. It’s short. Enjoy.)
~~~
The space station marketplace was bustling with crowds and conversation, but when a voice spoke from behind me, I was pretty sure the question was for me.
“Can I ask you something?” said the nervous voice.
I turned to see a feathery alien of a species I hadn’t met yet, looking like a flustered eagle — or no, more like a secretary bird. Those were the long-legged ones that kicked snakes, right? This one had shiny white feathers with a pearlescent shimmer, and some very anxious body language.
“Sure,” I said, prepared for anything. Was this a question about the courier ship I’d come in on? A question about Earthlings? Something for me specifically?
Option B.
“Do humans do mating dances?” the bird asked in a rush.
“Uh, sort of,” I said, thinking quickly. “We have dances with a lot of people together, and courting couples might use it as an excuse to show off or get close to one another.”
“But not individual dances?” the bird asked, fidgeting with clawed hands. Those claws were painted with what looked like human nail polish. Awfully similar to the color my cousin was fond of, called “Pinking Of You.”
“Maybe sometimes,” I said. “Why do you ask?”
Pearl-white feathers ruffled into an endearing puffball. “My advances are being ignored,” the alien admitted. “I’m starting to doubt whether my human even realizes. We’ve been working together for many cycles now, and I like to think we know each other well, but…” The alien drifted off into a plaintive chirp.
“Has the human done anything that looked like courtship gestures to you?” I asked.
“Maybe? I don’t know? I thought the food-sharing was just kindness, but it’s become a regular thing, and surely asking to wear one of my shed feathers as a decoration is significant, right? I don’t know anymore.”
“Wait,” I said. “Is this the human with blue hair that I just saw over that way? The one buying a feather-care kit and a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant?”
The birdlike alien stilled, feathers smoothing out. “Heart-shaped?”
“Like this,” I said, tracing the shape in the air. “It’s a sign of love.”
“It is??” Feathers fluttered everywhere as the alien hopped in place. “Is that why — I had no idea!”
“Go talk to your human,” I said. “Maybe you can eat food and go dancing together.”
“I will! Thank you!” The bird pranced off, jumping to see over the crowd like an excited teenager.
I thought about calling out directions to the nearest dance club, since this space station had some great ones, but it occurred to me that the human probably knew. And they could find out together.
~~~
Ongoing backstory adventures of the main character in this book. Very long and storied adventures.

something i have noticed about mew is that although he dressed similarly to ray since episode 7, the designs or the patterns of his outer layer have slightly changed. he used to wear a lot of bold or edgy design/prints but i think when his moms visited him episode 9, he started to wear a lot more floral/plant designs? it may be a redundant observation or I’m observing too much, but mew mostly wear them around top or his moms? I’m curious to know if you have any thoughts about it.
+ since you have been putting down songs for topmew, i have one for them: again - eden, sophiya (i personally feel the lyrics fit them so well, since how many characters and viewers are so against them together🫢). Thanks for reading!
This song is absolutely beautiful and you're right, the lyrics fit them amazingly. I've been listening to it nonstop. Thank you so much for recommending it to me! <3
Observing too much? No such thing!
Yes, I do have thoughts. I'm actually really glad you asked about Mew's clothing because it gives me a reason to make some collages of my favorite characters.
The super deep-dive into Mew's clothing choices I'm sure you were not expecting.
Clothing can be considered armor we wear when we interact with the world. It's what others first perceive when they meet us. It tells people about who we are or who we want to be. Clothing can also give you confidence. And for Mew, it is exactly this. He even says as much to Cheum here.
Tumblr media
In the first half of the show, Mew did wear some short sleeved button down shirts, quite a few actually. He usually wore lighter colors with more neutral patterns and ALWAYS with a t-shirt as the base layer.
Tumblr media
The catalyst for the change in Mew’s clothes I would say is this moment in Episode 7, part 3, when Mew is the bathtub. This is quite literally Mew's re-birth as Mew 2.0.
Tumblr media
The show also pointedly shows us this by contrasting the book shop scene with Ray in episode 8 with a flashback with Top from the first episode. Mew's shirts are the exact opposites. Instead of predominantly white with black graphics like with Top, it's predominantly black with white with Ray.
Tumblr media
Mew in his revenge era as Jojo called it wears short sleeved button downs with louder prints with a black undershirt.
The patterns of some of Mew's shirt are closer to Ray's palette than his own. The Outkast one he wore with Gap and the Vegas one he worse when he went to Boston’s house are the most similar to something Ray would wear.
Tumblr media
But Ray actually doesn't always wear a black undershirt. He seen just as often, if not more, wearing white undershirts. Ray's also worn long sleeve button down completely buttoned up with no undershirt or altogether different types of shirt. I was going to make a Ray clothing collage to prove this point, but there's already enough Ray content on this site, you're just going to have to trust me lol.
Tumblr media
So before his moms visit, the patterns of Mew 2.0’s shirts are darker and more in your face. This is Mew with his battle armor on, trying to fake it until he makes it. But once his moms come, the patterns immediately change.
Tumblr media
I think him coming from a warm, loving home with two caring parents is important for him as a character. His moms notice things like the pack of cigarettes on his coffee table. They immediately know something is up with him but they don't know what because he doesn't tell them. But they know this is not the Mew they raised or the one they last saw.
His moms have always been his strength. Their love for him is why he didn't think he needed romantic love, which is a strong stance to have. So when his moms visit, they are able to help ground him a little and he is able to reconnect to who he is. And as result, he softens his armor.
Tumblr media
He still wears a a short sleeve button down, but now with more feminine details, softer colors and more whimsical patterns like the aquarium and the ships. These shirts are more Mew.
Now, let's talk about how Top plays into Mew's clothing choices because I actually have a lot I want to discuss.
Mew has only ever worn a black undershirt since that moment. Only ever black, which is extremely curious.
Because do you know who has only ever consistently worn a white undershirt throughout the entire show?
Tumblr media
Top. Interesting, huh?
The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference. So even when Mew was rage angry at Top, subconsciously, he wasn't actually as indifferent as he pretended to be.
Mew wanted to become the opposite of who he was before and somehow ended up taking an element of Top's style with him.
Top coming to Mew's family's home is the turning point for TopMew Take 2. And their undershirt colors when they were side-by-side reminded me of something.
Tumblr media
Do you see it?
Tumblr media
Maybe this will help.
Tumblr media
The visual representation of TopMew's fresh start is a yin yang symbol. Yin, the traditional feminine energy is the dark side and Yang, the traditional masculine energy is the light side. Two connected elements in perfect balance with each other.
They are both coming into this fresh start as equals with open communication and dialogue, of their own free will.
Tumblr media
And because I love this symbolism, this is literally the Sun hugging his Moon and his Moon embracing him back 🥺

A Comparative Analysis of Hook’s Ship and Cabin in Popular Media Portrayals
Part 3: Steven Spielberg’s Hook
Not gonna lie—visually, Hook is one of my favorite versions of the character because both the captain himself and his living space are just so incredibly over-the-top with lots of attention to detail. The costuming and set designers really went all-out on this one.
Tumblr media
Dustin Hoffman’s Hook has a ship like no other! His Jolly Roger leaves absolutely no doubt from the second you lay eyes on it that it is a pirate ship and throws all sense of practicality out the window in favor of lavish decadence fit for a king. From the outside, the cabin itself is reminiscent of a large skull wearing a bicorn hat with two large windows serving as the eyes. Perhaps most interestingly, the very center of the hat bears what appears to be a slightly altered version of the Eton crest with a skull and crossbones over it. This “knock-off” Eton crest (which was probably altered in the film for legal reasons) or one similar to it, shows up in multiple places inside the cabin as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you look closely and zoom in on the two images above, you’ll notice one (not colored) crest over the piano, one on the desk, and one over the fireplace (which, by the way, does not seem practical on a wooden ship). Some other neat details I noticed in these shots include what looks like gramophones on the desk, images of fencing stances on the wall, and that the bottom of the bed which lowers down from the ceiling appears to be painted. I don’t know for certain but believe that the painting is meant to be this image used for promotional material but not ever actually visible in the film. (Thanks to the HookPosting community on Facebook for the image.)
Tumblr media
Interestingly, it still features the hook on the right hand. Perhaps that’s why it was never shown in the film. If this godlike portrayal is how Hoffman’s Hook sees himself, it borders on pathological narcissism.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Back to the cabin itself… When the camera pans over to the other side of the room, we see another mock Eton crest in the background. In another, closer shot, we can clearly see the words “Good Form” over this one. This guy is Eton OBSESSED! (Which, to be fair, is pretty canon.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We get a few more interesting views of the cabin in the scenes where Hook is attempting to teach Jack and Maggie. There is another self-portrait—though this one is a bit humbler and more realistic. Again, narcissist much? But what’s especially intriguing to me is the fact that if you zoom in close, you will notice that below the painting, there are black and white photographs. Now, so far, everything else about this Hook screams 17th century with the one odd exception of the gramophone(s) on his desk. But one might explain that away as something he picked up while visiting the outer world. But to have photographs would seem to imply that he (or someone he cares about) is from a much later time period. The one seems to be a photo of a young man (Perhaps Hook himself?) while the other is, I think, a couple (His parents? A younger Hook and his former love?). There is another black and white photo, too, that you can see in a shot behind Jack and Maggie that looks like it might be of a sports team… Might this be a team photo from his time at Eton? Unfortunately, without better quality close-ups on these images and input from the set director, there is no way to know for certain, but it certainly is intriguing…and it might explain Hook connecting with Jack over his love of sports.
Hoffman’s Hook is an enigma. His ship is unlike anything that sailed during the Golden Age of Piracy—far too gaudy and over-the-top, both inside and out, to be practical. And yet, there are details that no child would think to make up like the ever-present Eton crest and the black and white photographs. The clashing of time periods apparent in his wardrobe and personal effects lines up well with Barrie’s own conflicting information regarding Hook’s murky past, but it leaves us as the audience a little unsure what to make of this man. Perhaps, Hook and his ship are still the product of Peter’s imagination…but since Pan has grown up in this retelling, the details of Hook’s cabin have shifted to reveal the same larger than life character as imagined by an adult.

Keefe Sencen!!
me being active? shocker! anywaysss
KEEFE YAAAAAAAAAY i love keefe he cracks me up. i stay away from the ship wars and the whole fitz vs keefe thing, i think they're both good characters with flaws and it is up to you who you enjoy/root for. he is hilarious and i love his silly little coping mechanisms (totally not projecting on him lately). his trauma is rlly important to me and i don't think of him that much but if i had to choose who im most similar to it's him fs. he is definitely flawed as a person, but that's what makes him relatable just like all the other characters. also me and him are kind of twins. blonde styled/fluffy hair, blue eyes, art kid, burnt out gifted, severe mommy issues, same coping mechanisms, immature. yeha i love keefe 🕺 .... hc time ig?
i don't rlly think of him a lot, so these headcanons are pretty impulsive
-bisexual (before the whole sophie love triangle thing i thought him and fitz were 💏. irdk man)
-purposely gets hairspray on his bathroom mirror to make a mess for his dad
-has spent the entire day, multiple times, just trying out new hairstyles (he ultimately decided nothing will outdo The Hair)
-brings a marker everywhere and doodles on ppl, himself, papers etc
-trashes his room when he's mad (also bc of the satisfaction of knowing cassius hates it)
-likes finding little trinkets that remind him of the ppl he cares about

ADAL!!! saw your requests/inbox is open…and i had to send in a little something something!!!
heard you do “i ship you with…” so i was wondering what gotham character you might ship me with!!!
As far as physical appearance goes, I’m a 4’11 cis female with long brown hair and brown eyes, tan skin, hispanic, and wear a lot of black and red :> (and wearing glasses when im not in my contacts sksksk)
As far as personality goes, I’m a little eccentric, lots of jokes teehee, my MBTI is INTP, aquarius zodiac sign, and I love a possessive jealous protective man 🤞 I’m bisexual with a preference for men, and my ideal date idea is a movie at home !! or a grocery store date (i love shopping!!)
tysm adal ^_^ u dont have to if you dont want too, or if you dont do these anymore!! Just thought it might be fun !!
A/N: AHHH YES!! I wont ever stop doing these so you're good! Also sorry for the wait! Im trying to get through asks today because the numbers are starting to stack up and I don't want to keep holding it off anymore! But my inbox will always be open!
I ship you with...
Oswald Cobblepot!
Tumblr media
Let's start with the height difference.
He loves it.
A lot.
Almost everyone he's ever encountered is always taller than him, or his height is used against him.
Definitely has a sort of power kink toward it if yk what I mean.
Now onto your color scheme.
We've all seen his many outfits throughout episodes and how fashionable he is.
He'll spoil you to your hearts content on whatever you want.
Including clothes.
There's a black and red outfit you've been wanting from a store down the street?
It's sitting on your bed by the next hour or so with a little love note attached to it.
If he's feeling it, you'll both be matching that day, wearing the similar black and red that you love so much.
He'll also make sure you always have a spare set of glasses or contacts on hand.
Just incase yk?
If anyone dares to even tease you about your clothes, glasses, looks in general?
Dead.
I can't stress the 'anyone' enough.
He knows what it's like being talked down to and mocked so he isn't having non of that when it comes to you.
He doesn't want his darling going through the same shit he went through.
He's gonna do whatever it takes to make you live the best.
As a queen.
His queen.
He's not the best at telling jokes but he does have a certain sense of humor.
Like laughing at the people, who've hurt either him or you, who are on the ground screaming in pain.
Again, a certain sense of humor.
Lets say you try a harmless prank on him, and end up scaring the shit out of him.
He'll scold you but is smiling by the end of it.
If you tell him a joke, he'll laugh at it.
While also staring at you with a loving gaze.
Back to him loving to spoil you, he much prefers taking you out to extravagant places for a ideal date like a fancy restaurant but won't mind just chilling at his mansion and snuggling up on the couch with you.
He doesn't get the whole shopping dates you mention though.
Why do something like that when he can just make others do it for you?
If you beg for it enough, he'll agree.
But he makes sure zsasz and a couple other of his men come along.
Again just in case.
He'll tell them to spread out and not stick so close to you both so it can feel like it's just you and him having a nice bonding moment.
Don't expect him to carry anything though.
Poor Zsasz we'll probably get stuck acting as some pack mule.

-Why SaNa over LuNa and SanPu-
This post is not meant to start any fights because shipping wars are stupid but these are just my personal opinions on why I prefer Sana over Luna and Sanpu (or mostly why I don’t ship Luna and Sanpu because there isn’t a lot of Sana in here)
-LuNa
One main reason I don’t ship Luffy and Nami is because I could never see Luffy settling down. Him getting married or getting with someone I believe would be too restricting for him. Being bound to someone eternally just doesn’t seem like something Luffy would ever do.
The second main reason is just the simple fact of they haven’t shown romantic interest in each other at all. I am very picky when it comes to my ships and I don’t just choose two random friends, the one thing I need is for them to actually have feelings or the possibility of feelings. Even in friends to lovers stories when they were friends there was still a little bit of romantic tension, that is just something I don’t see with Luffy and Nami.
The third main reason and the smallest one is just more of my opinion but I don’t think that Oda is the kind of person to just have the male and female leads then put them together.
Ok finnaly I will be going over evidence Luna shippers use and why I don’t believe it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Luffy and Nami wearing crown in color spreads
In my opinion this is probably the best evidence for Luna but I think it’s just that Luffy is yk obviously king like king of pirates and Nami is like his right hand girl or like the second captian. She is also seen wearing lots of crown because she loves money, plus if you want to use the king and queen thing then we should add Zoro into the mix because he’s “The king of hell”. Overall, pretty solid evidence but I think it’s just Nami being his right hand girl or also weather queen, I just don’t think this suggest anything romantic.
That is probably the one piece of Luna evidence I don’t find completely stupid so here is some other pieces of evidence ranked from stupid to super stupid. Warning: this is a lot of me just roasting luna
Tumblr media
Nami wearing the straw hat. This one is just simple, other people have worn the straw hat too. Not even just Roger and Shanks. Like on the crew both Usopp and Robin have worn it so it’s not specific to Nami.
Tumblr media
Nami calling out to Luffy and that’s why he awakens. What? This one is just weird plus Luna shippers always like to bring up how their ship is done dirty in the anime yet this was MUCH different in the manga.
Tumblr media
Nami looking at Luffy ‘lovingly’. Uhm ok. The term ‘lovingly’ without any blushing or anything is a little much. I think it’s just simply her smiling and posing while looking off lol.
Tumblr media
Luffy and Nami looking like parents here. For how weird this one is it is surprisingly brought up a lot. This one again is simple, just Luffy being the main character and Nami’s love for kids.
Tumblr media
And finally my least favorite evidence of all. Nami being similar to Rouge or more specifically having flowers in her hair. Huh? First, Nami is nothing like Rouge, Rouge is very calm while Nami is very hot headed. Plus for mostly every character in One Piece looking like Nami and rouge definitely not looking anything like her I don’t think that’s the best piece of evidence. Don’t even get me started when it comes to the flower.
-Sanpu
This one will be shorter and more opinionated but even so in my opinion I think that luna is more likely to happen then sanpu.
There is one main reason why I don’t ship or think Sanpu is going to happen and I just think it wipes out any possibility of them being together. That one reason being Nami, Unless you have been watching/reading with your eyes closed then it is painfully obvious that Nami is Sanji’s #1. It’s honestly kinda sad watching people trying to debate this because it’s so clear. Just a few examples there is Sanji always calling Nami’s name first before any other women, Nami being the only person he uses the san honorific on, the only one he asks if she is in love with him and in fan requested cover pages he always adds Sanji simpin for Nami despite her not being in the request but he only adds other women if it is requested. Those of course are just a few examples but I even feel stupid just having to prove that. So if Oda did all to show that Nami is his #1 why would he just turn around and make him be with another women.
The second reason is just their relationship in wci didn’t feel romantic. You could also say I’m biased because around wci was when I started shipping Sanji and Nami so I was kinda just not caring about any other relationship with Sanji but still the scenes in wci didn’t feel romantic. Obviously Pudding had feelings for Sanji but unless I missed something a lot of the affection he was giving back to Pudding was him simping for her body. There wasn’t a lot of him actually complementing her for her, of course it was there but just not very much.
People also just use the fact that Pudding has feelings for Sanji as evidence of why they are going to be together and I think there has to be a little more to it then just her having feelings, I’ve also done some other things about Sanji not ‘actually’ loving other women but that’s a different topic.
-So why sana?
This one is going to be almost completely opinionated. So first I’ll just get out my opinion on ships. I love ships that have a nice amount of evidence to it so I can think about it for a long time but even if it’s canon it’s not canon until the end so I can make little theories about them and yell at my old enemies that I was right the whole time.
Sana is almost completely about the little things of the story, if you watch it not focusing that much then of course you’re not going to see why people ship them. Sana shippers love color spreads and little things in the background of the manga. Once again my preference but I LOVE THE LITTLE THINGS, sometimes of course it can be right in front of your face which again is why some of these things can feel a little out of place while they actually aren’t.
Tumblr media
This isn’t meant to be like “If you don’t ship sana then you clearly just aren’t watching/reading hard enough” lol, shipping is all up to preference and you can ship whatever you want to ship. It is just always important to remember that shipping really isn’t that serious and even though I love them and love writing about them it’s not what One Piece is about. (Sorry for most of this just being me insulting Luna and not being about why I ship Sana lol)

forgive me if this has been answered already, but do you have any sebek headcanons? thank you :)
EEK!!! I DO!!! I have a lot actually 😭😭😭 I loveee Sebek so I think about him a lot :3
Hcs under the cut <3
Okay ☝️ first we’re gonna start with my WOKE headcanons 😍
I hc Sebek as Uranic!!! (Simple but I like it :3)
I also HC him as Egyptian and Mexican!!!
He has Audhd (and a more recent hc of mine BPD and NPD)
😢😢 one thing about me is I have stim Hcs for my neurodivergent characters sooo yeah ummm I’m gonna share a few :3
Yelling and being loud is a stim but it’s also because he has bad impulse and volume control!
He grunts and coughs a lot and also grits his teeth
He has a lot of stims using his arms like clenching his fists, cracking knuckles, flapping his arms/hands (something he picked up from Malleus) and moving his arms a certain way
A lot of his stims include his mouth of arms/hands!
Most of his stims he keeps to himself, especially the ones that draw attention/are disruptive
He chews stuff A LOT. His pens are CHEWED UP. He finds it embarrassing but he can’t help it :(
He can get overstimulated easily, but sometimes it just depends.
When he’s overstimulated he tends to hit his head
He used to get overwhelmed and overstimulated somewhat easily and would start tearing up. When he entered NCR he decided he would stop doing that to be the best guard possible. He still tears up when overwhelmed and overstimulated but it’s rare and in like.. long extreme situations.
LOVES HUGGING AND SQUISHING/SQUEEZING. Gives bear hugs. Absolutely bone crushing hugs. His hugs could probably fix your back- or make it worse 😭
Has probably masked unknowingly, but it NEVER lasts.
Also has tics that tend to be triggered in cold weather. Occasionally warm weather.
Mostly motor tics like head jerking!
Normally tics then stims
Sebek is a very physical person. He LOVES hugging and doing anything with his body. He loves working out and moving and stimming because it keeps him happy. He just feels the need to be active or it feels like he’ll explode- he feels things very intensely and a lot of it stresses him out because his emotions are too strong and big to handle
Another thing is he’s terrified of kissing on the lips- Every time he tries to do it he gets scared and backs out- and if he does manages to kiss *insert person you ship him with* it doesn’t last- like. It only lasts 1 second and he immediately backs away because he just can’t take it 😭 not because he doesn’t enjoy it! It’s just he gets embarrassed and soemthing about it makes him really nervous
I think Sebek is half crocodile fae…so like… physically he’s a bit different… but not a lot compared to his mother or grandfather!! I think that he has teeth a bit similar to crocodile teeth! But because he’s still young they don’t look the same they do for his mom and stuff :3 (if that makes sense lol)
HE HYPERFIXATES ON ALL OF HIS FAVORITE PEOPLE/ CLOSE FRIENDS!!! I like to think he has hyperfixate on silver, Lilia, his mom, dad, grandpa,siblings etc. at points of his life.
On his parents when he was little, later Baal and when he met Lilia he hyperfixated on him, then silver. .. and basically it progresses like that.
Currently it’s malleus (obviously) but he is obsessed with other things, like culture and Lilia. But they’re not the biggest focus.
Oh he has loads of scars. Not only from him training and fighting, but because he loves running around! He has little scars and bruises on his legs and arms because of it :( accidentally hurting himself while having fun and running. A lot of times he wakes up with new ones too, it’s very confusing to him.
Sebek likes wearing funky weird little socks…. Like… I do think he wears formal white/black socks but he also has socks with patterns, matching ones, mismatched ones, colorful ones, ones with little patterns….
Eeek Sebek loves pink <3 and also likes yellows and reds but prefers pink he thinks the color is so cool and fascinating
OMG HE LOVESSSSS FLOWERS SO MUCH <33 he loves looking at them and collecting them! He has a secret book with a bunch of pressed flowers <3 he doesn’t know a lot about their meanings but he does really like them, and can identify some of them :3
His hair is wavy but also kind of nice to touch? He brushes it constantly so it ends up being somewhat soft
Whenever he loves someone or thinks someone is so super cool he will praise them so much <3 he is my hype man <3 he’s also very honest and pretty blunt so you can tell when he’s honest…
He likes making his own things :3 he loves doing hand crafted stuff….especially with like wood…. And plants…sometimes metal/iron. It’s kind of like a side hobby…..
He can’t handle too much spice- he can eat most spicy foods…

like my mirror years ago
Rating: T Characters: Maedhros | Maitimo Additional: Years of the Trees, time travel, AU, fix-it WC: 1.3k
Maitimë’s first thought, when she sees the stranger, is that one of the orcs from Grandfather Finwë’s stories has somehow found its way to Valinor.
She’s never seen anyone like them before. Their hair is cropped short, too short to braid at all, and their face and what little other pale skin is visible is covered in cruel scars, the origin of which she can’t begin to imagine. Their right hand is missing entirely, with only a stump left. They’re wearing armor, similar to what Atar and some others have been experimenting with, but heavier and clearly much-used.
They’re also wearing the particular shade of red associated with her father’s house, with - she sees when they turn - her father’s sigil of the eight-pointed star worked into the tattered cloak in gold.
She sucks in a startled breath at that, trying to reevaluate, and that makes the stranger turn sharply, their sharp eyes spotting Maitimë where she’s partially hidden behind a tree.
“Who’s there?” the stranger says, their voice rough and rasping.
She has nothing to fear. She doesn’t. This is Valinor and they are safe, and if the stranger tries anything, Maitimë is fairly certain she can outrun them. And she isn’t anywhere that she’s not supposed to be; they are. So she comes out from behind the tree and says, “I’m Nelyafinwë Maitimë Fëanáriel. What are you doing skulking outside Tirion?”
It’s not necessarily an intimidating proclamation, but the stranger staggers back as though she struck them. Their mouth hands open a long moment, and then they curl in on themselves, head in their hands, muttering “no, no, no, no” over and over.
Maitimë, beginning to be more concerned than wary, takes a couple of steps closer. “Are you all right?”
The stranger lets out a harsh, barking laugh. “I haven’t been all right since around the year 1450 by Trees reckoning.”
That doesn’t make sense. Maitimë frowns. “It’s the year 1449 right now.”
A disbelieving pause, and then another snort of unamused laughter. “Of course it is. That makes the most sense out of any of this.”
“I beg your pardon?”
The stranger lifts their head, fixing Maitimë with gray-green eyes that are suddenly all too familiar. “I’m from about sixty Valian years in the future. Specifically, I’m you from the future.”
It’s impossible. Maitimë wants to deny it, but now that she looks, those are her eyes, and the cropped hair is her color, although very dirty and neglected. That is the shape of her face, albeit a little leaner, under all the scars.
“I can prove it,” the stranger says after a moment. “You said your name was Nelyafinwë Maitimë before, but that’s not the whole truth, is it? Fing - Findekáno gave you another one. Russandol. You haven’t told anyone yet because then you’d have to explain that the two of you are in love, and you’re waiting for things between your fathers to get a bit better before you break that news.” She huffs. “Trust me, you’ll be waiting forever on that one. If you really want to be with him, you should just do it, take advantage of the time you have.”
Maitimë finds that she has to sit down abruptly. Fortunately, there’s a convenient mossy boulder nearby. “What happened to you?” she says, when she can find words again. “To us, I mean?” She gestures to encompass everything about the person in front of her.
“What didn’t happen?” The stranger - future-Maitimë - drops to sit on the ground. “Mor - Melkor killed Grandfather for a treasure that Atar had made. Atar dragged us - most of the Noldor, my brothers, and me - across the Sea bent on revenge and made the seven of us swear an oath to bind us to it. We killed a lot of the people of Alqualondë, for their ships. Atar died and left the crown to me, which led to me being captured by Melkor and tortured for three Valian years. Findekáno saved me, in the end - that’s how I lost the hand, by the way. We fought a prolonged, hopeless war against Melkor, that ended up killing most of our cousins, Nolofinwë, and finally Findekáno - that last was my fault, by the way, and it was ugly and brutal and --”
She breaks off, running a hand through her cropped hair repeatedly until she calms. Distantly, through the haze of horror at such a recitation, Maitimë wonders if she cut it after Findekáno’s - after he --
“My brothers and I went on to kill Eldar twice more after that,” future-Maitimë continues, with terrifying matter-of-factness. “Simply because they were between us and Atar’s treasure. Most of them died in the doing of it - Tyelko, Moryo, and Curvo first, and then Pityo and Telvo later on.”
“Kano lives?” Maitimë finds herself asking. Her heart had already crumbled to hear of Findekáno’s fate, and shattered further at the thought of her little brothers being killed, a concept she can barely hold in her mind, but she needs to know that at least Makalaurë is spared in this ugly future. 
“He lives.” Her other self won’t meet her eyes. “And so if I return to my proper time, I may yet lead him into further evil.”
The resignation in her voice sparks something in Maitimë. “You don’t know that it has to be that way,” she says. “Now that you’ve told me, I can make sure none of those things happen. There must be something I, we, can do to prevent all that.”
“There’s not.” Future-Maitimë folds her arms tightly. “I’m here, proof that the future I described happened. I may not have been much for Finr - Findaráto’s philosophical salons, but basic logic would seem to indicate that therefore, the events I’ve spoken of can’t be changed.”
Maitimë gets to her feet, resolve building. “You’ve come back through time,” she argues. “Basic logic doesn’t seem to be in effect at this point. We might as well try.”
“You can if you want,” her future self says, not moving from her seat on the ground. “Perhaps this is some kind of punishment for all I’ve done, to have to watch you try and fail.”
Well, that’s not going to help anything - and Maitimë is quite certain she can’t do this on her own. But that thought stirs an idea up in her. If this really is her from the future...and judging by some of the things she said...
“I am still going to try, though,” she says, turning to walk back towards Tirion. “And I’ll probably need some help to come up with a plan, so I’m going to find Findekáno. He’s good with impossible projects - in this time, anyway.”
She keeps one eye on her future-self as she speaks, and sure enough, those ruined lips move, silently framing something like Finno...
“All right.” She stands, and Maitimë suppresses a triumphant grin. “I still don’t think this is going to work, but...I want to see him. At least for a moment.”
“Excellent.” Maitimë reaches out and takes her remaining hand - rough and callused, but still essentially the same as her own. “You might want to pull up your hood and wrap your cloak close if you don’t want to be spotted. Oh, and is there something I can call you? Two ‘Maitimë’s is going to get confusing.”
Her future-self cracks a one-sided grin. “Fortunately for you, we all had to take new names when we met Elwë’s people on the other side of the Sea - they speak quite a different language by now. You can call me Maedhros.”
“Maedhros.” It feels rough and clumsy in Maitimë’s mouth, but somehow it suits her. “All right. Let’s go see if we can change the future.”
To be continued...

One Piece Shipping War - Round 2 Side A
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut.
Propaganda for Franky x Robin:
Do I really need to explain?
The old married couple who's healthy, Enies Lobby (and all their appearances) are their propaganda really.
It’s all about the maturity!
Their dynamic is perfect and their pasts are so similar. I love the chemistry between them as well as their introduction that helped build the connection and shared history they already have.
they are THE t4t bi4bi ship | franky telling robin "existing is not a crime" immediately puts this at number one for me | they are opposites (bright and loud + quiet and goth) but also they're both so eccentric and silly <3 | THEY WEAR MATCHING OUTFITS
Mom and dad Straw Hat
They are STILL the Mom and the Dad of the Straw Hats, this is the one thing I don't care what Oda says <3 Also their interactions in Enies Lobby and Thriller Bark are amazing.
In my eyes, they are married. Some of my favorite character interactions in the manga/anime and in official art.
Oda had Franky call Robin his wife at least once
Your honor they’re married
I'M GOING TO PUT LINKS IN MY EXAMPLES (Mod note: I linked to the whole post, the propaganda was going to get too long otherwise. But I will copy this line:...) They immediatly clicked in Enies Lobby, Franky saved Robin with both words and actions ("Your existence is not a sin!"), and then she grabbed his balls.
The duality of two kids who were just trying to chase their dream and having circumstances outside their control (the government) take everything they love away from them, but one choosing solitude and the other adopting every other person in a bad circumstance??? I love them. Plus they literally had couple moments from the first interaction.
The ultimate t4t couple idk what else you need theyre iconic
A wholesome ship of a woman who feels the need to be constantly on edge trying to relax and a man who is a 110% himself from the moment we see him. the joy of frobin is the causal domesticity, in many color spreads and especially post timeskip we can see them casually enjoying the others company.
Remember when Franky was in Chopper's body in Punk Hazard and every time he spoke Robin was like "Franky. Stop talking. Do not talk while you're in Chopper's body."
idk like. he's obsessed with her. she's his weird Goth gf and he's her himbo. they have matching outfits. I love them.
Look. It's Franky and Robin. Literally the only two characters that make sense to ship on the Sunny. Their arcs are inextricably intertwined (water7/enies lobby). Also LOOK AT THEM interacting, both during their arcs, but also thriller bark, or post time skip. I love them. Also robin crushed frankys balls.
funny big robot man & analytical smart research lady power couple... silly x smart... himbo x researcher... augh... so good
They are the ship for taxpaying adults your honor I LOVE them they’re literally freak4freak and they share such a fucking powerful arc together (Water 7).
that moment she let him sleep on her lap in punk hazard was sooo cute <3 -- The matching thigh highs and bottoms in film z can NOT be understated. -- Strawhat mom and dad -- Let's not forget the way robin convinced franky to join ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) -- she also indirectly called his balls "treasure" so,,, -- the way their stories are so closely intertwined...they were both keys to destroy the world...the way they instantly connected over that...the soulmate-ism of it all...
they . them. girlboss and malewife. that's it.
She grabbed his balls. He totally liked it.
He's so silly and she loves it. She's so scary and he loves it. She grabbed his balls in public.
They will be endgame trust me. Franky doesn't treat any other girl like he treats Robin. There dynamic in Water 7 and Thriller Bark was and always will be one of the best in all of OP.
Propaganda for Rayleigh x Shakky:
They’re canon and very hot. These are facts.

Imagine you are the twin sister to Luke, daughter of Padmé and Anakin Skywalker, who was raised in Lothal. However, at the age of seven you go through a difficult trauma. Years later you are part of the Ghost crew and Kanan Jarrus is your master. But the moment you meet Darth Vader, something changes in you… as well as in him. Part I
Warnings: the character’s plot is based on Ezra Bridger’s on “Rebels”. References to season two will be seen here. So no Ezra in this story and the reader is a 15 year old—same age as Ezra. Also, no Princess Leia in this universe, sorry.
Warnings 2: teenage angst and drama, but also it’s meant to be a light reading. Lol. Here we go!
Warnings 3: fluffy ending; we don’t work with misery and unhappiness endings here.
***
Intro.
It all begins when the seven year old you is outside playing with a false blaster your father had borrowed you. You like see yourself as a soldier like he is.
“Pew pew pew!” You make the sounds as you aim the toy to the tree, pretending it’s a trooper. Under the watchful gaze of your mother, you play against the wind, free and deprived of concerns. You are dressing comfortable clothes and your hair is tied in a similar fashion of your mother’s.
You turn at her with a smug on your lips.
“See how powerful am I? I just defeated the tree stopper!” You giggle softly.
“You are a very bright child, Y/N.” You are told, which makes you beam. “Come inside, though. It’s going to rain.”
You look up at the skies; they are instantly grey, but to you…these clouds are not only announcing a storm but something worse that might happen. You don’t know what nor why.
But you obey. Once inside, you see that your folks are restless. Your father walks from one side to another and your mother has everything packed.
“Are we going somewhere?” You ask, so innocent. You don’t understand what’s happening, even though you feel the fear from them.
Your mother comes to you and makes sure you wear your backpack. There is sadness in your eyes.
“I wish I could tell you the truth about all of this, Y/N. But there is no time. I’m sorry.” She strokes your cheek gently.
You hear the sound of thunder and a chill runs over your spine. You too are scared.
“Mommy…”
Before you know, she grabs your hand and runs with you and your father, who’s leading the way. The three of you try running from storms troopers who, out of blue, are being chased. You start to cry.
“Sweetheart, I’m sorry. We failed you.” She separates ways from her husband. “We love you. Never forget that. Now run! Run!”
You do as ordered, but when you turn your head behind, you see the blasters taking their lives away. Had you not been so terrified and prompted to flee, you’d have destroyed the enemy. But there is little time to think or do. You weep as you run under a heavy rain.
Maker knows what will be of you now…
***
Your POV.
Eight years later.
You tie your hair in a bun on top of your head before you move towards the ship where you see there’s a good content which you could make good use. Perhaps if you took that barril of fuel and gave to a contrabandist, you’d get enough credits to buy some new clothes and food.
Here’s my mission.
You are careful to follow the members of that ship. You see at least three of them: a tall guy with brown long hair tied in a ponytail; a girl with colorful hair who is using a Trooper’s helmet and a Lasat whom you’ve never seen before.
I thought they lived in stories.
You shake your head, refusing to access your childhood memories. You need to stay focused so you let this instinct lead you to them—although you interpret it as an easier way to get your things done. You are patient, though, so you take your time.
“All right. It’s almost time…”
You leave your safe position as soon as these three follow different paths. You throw your hood over you face, a master in disguise you’ve become in last years, and move like a ghost amongst the people of your planet.
You are about to get in the ship when a noise startles you. There is some confusion in downtown—which is near to your location—and you are spotted by the girl.
“Hey!” She pushes you out of the ship before you even get a chance to go inside. “What do you think you are doing?! Out!”
Your vision is good, as well as the instincts so natural to you, so you manage to fall out without getting harmed in the process and without taking a shot. But to worsen matters, the guy you’ve seen before is running by your side.
He frowns at you, seeing how the girl with the helmet kicked you off the ship. So many questions, but he is more preoccupied in getting himself safe.
Somehow you end up joining forces with him because the chase involves you too: the stormtroopers don’t seem to make a difference between you and the ponytail guy—looks like you’ve had a bad timing in trying to steal the fuel.
“Who are you?” He asks you, trying to take the vehicle you’ve just stolen and refusing to be kicked out from it. “What were you doing in the ship?”
“Does it matter?” You give a snark response. “Why don’t you let me go? I have nothing to do with your business.”
He laughs at you.
“Looks like you do. The troopers are chasing us.”
There is a fight. One of the kind that leads you to reckless behavior or panic attacks. Today, looks like the second one. You’d throw yourself from the vehicle and see a way to survive as you try to escape the pew pew pew from the troopers.
It’s when the ship comes closer. The guy senses your fear, but he also sees you are strong with the Force.
“Come with me.”
You look at him, amused and distrustful at first.
“What? No way! I don’t know you!”
“You were about to since you tried to steal my ship. Besides what other choice do you have?”
“I… I’ve been on my own long enough to know I can survive without any help.”
“Yeah but unless you’d like to go arrested from here, I don’t see how you are helping your situation.”
You narrow your eyes.
“Fine.”
You don’t ask his name. All you do is trust in him when he tells you to jump into the very same ship where not so long ago you tried to steal.
And that is how you get away with chasing. Again.

Vader’s POV.
The silence in his quarters is tense, disturbed as usual is. When their owner is meditating, darkness flows naturally and crudely. There is no a mid term. He is his own company—and his own enemy too.
When his eyes are cast to the sabers that are tied to his sides, Vader can hear his demons coming from hell to torment him. He knows today will not be different.
He usually goes under with the voices, enjoying the torture they make him. Because that is what he deserves—an eternal punishment from the choices he made and all that costed him.
However, as he begins to meditate, he is surprised by an unusual silence. The Force is reaching out for him… and as he shuts his eyes, confusion takes place.
A confusion of scenarios is seen. Vader perceives the moves, the chaos, the despair such input him. To his own surprise, it makes his heart ache. Such a suffocating pain. He can hear the screams. The loneliness, the anger, the fear… All sentiments very familiar to him.
However, when he concentrates… Vader’s arrogance and pride abandon him. He does not know why nor how, but this figure, whom he cannot see but rather feel a strange connection, is in suffering. The more he tries to reach out for this individual, the more he is repelled.
Which results in a great sense of anger and frustration, thus breaking the unusual channel the Force seems to have brought to him.
Whoever this person is, Vader comes to realize that it is imperative the Emperor be kept in ignorance. So that way, he takes a ship and decides to look for whoever is the individual responsible for disturbing him.
“Whoever you are, I’m coming for you.” He mumbles to himself.
***
Your POV.
You wake up suddenly with a chill in your back, restless and anxious all the same for some motive that escapes you. You just feel it.
“Hey Y/N”, you hear Sabine calling you. “Are you all right?”
“Hm, yeah, sure. Did I wake you up? Sorry. I don’t know what’s up.”
You have been with the crew for some months now. It was difficult at first to settle in because of the mutual distrust—you were trying to steal the fuel of their ship after all—-but as you started to joining the rebels in missions against the empire, you began to feel like now you are part of the family.
Sabine is now a good friend of yours and with whom you share a room. Every now and then you and Zeb keep picking at each other, and captain Hera has been the maternal figure you’ve been missing since your parents’s demise.
However, your bond with Kanan Jarrus is spectacularly exceptional. Specially because he’d become your Master Jedi. Yes, he sensed a great force in you and ever since he’s been trying to train you.
So that is why, now that you are more familiar with the Force and the trainings of a Jedi, you feel as if it has been trying to tell you something. But precisely what? You cannot tell.
“No. I was already up, just feeling indisposed about leaving bed.” She and you share a chuckle. “It’s time to make breakfast, then. The day is going to be long.”
She leaves you to your thoughts. You lie back down in bed, eyes closing, trying to concentrate once again what was the chill you got because you are sure this is meaningful.
When you do so, after two or three attempts, you finally get something. The vision that is before your eyes shows you a mix of scenarios: a woman you barely know weeping in the childbirth. A man in deep suffering left in tears in a place surrounded by lava. There is also a boy with sandy hair running, but you don’t see his face.
And finally… you see a masked male breathing mechanically. He seems to stare at you. You gasp and get instantly up. Your heart races. It’s too much for you.
You leave your quarters after changing your clothes, joining the crew for the first meal of the day. You look slightly grumpy and confused, but since it’s how you often appear in the morning, no one notices the difference.
Except Kanan. He decides to wait for a moment to have with you. And when you finish eating, he says:
“Hey, Y/N. Can I have a moment with you?”
You turn instantly at him. You smile at him.
“Yes, Master?”
Kanan sighs.
“I don’t think I am one, kid. But come here, I noticed you are acting strange.” He puts a hand over your shoulder. “Are you all right?”
“Yes, I am.” Then you hesitate. But Kanan is patient, he waits for you. “I’ve been having some visions.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah. I don’t know what they mean, though I do know they mean something.” And you tell him all about it.
Kanan strokes his beard, looking thoughtful as he’s being told of these enigmatic views. He gives you a long look.
“I think we should try finding a temple Jedi. There are few out there, but if we can find one then perhaps our answers will be there.” But because you look disappointed, he says: “Hey, Y/N. Be patient. Perhaps this is a test for you. Most Jedis must endure these lessons. Now come, it’s time for your training.”
***
Vader’s POV.
His heart is shaken with different emotions as he watches the color of your eyes coming right to his visions. Blue like his. No, he corrects himself, it’s like those of Anakin.
Your hair has the same shade of color that he used to have as a child. The more he sees you, the more he is hit by a sense of desperation. It takes little time before he knows you are alive. His child, his precious child is alive.
Right as he pauses in the middle of space to meditate, Vader is conflicted. He thought you’d been gone and now he understands why he was placed in a foster care, away from his reach.
Obi-Wan was wise.
However, you were supposed to have enjoyed a safer environment with a father and a mother who loved you. But when it comes to his thoughts the realization that he was not the father you needed, he was not there to rock you as a child, to tend your emotional wounds… Vader howls in pain.
What have I done?
To worse all of this, the visions show you running as a young girl from one side to another, hiding, often scared and alone. The more he concentrates, the more he sees with clarity.
When you start to sharp your mind and begin to shield yourself after two years on the run; Vader sees so much of Padmé in you, the braid, the diplomacy when dealing with others, when caring for the victims of the Empire.
An Empire he helped to build.
Vader swallows. But as if the darkness is snapping at him, the visions don’t end there.
A heavy, electrical storm comes to Lothar. Where the people know how to protect themselves, you don’t. You are actually in a spot far from the center when it starts to rain. You are scared, alone in this world. You want to cling onto the anger because of your situation.
However, you are exhausted and lonely. What’s the point of feeling angry? You realize it’s just you and you. The Force seems to calm you without your awareness. You stand and, from wherever you are, you start to run.
“Nothing will stop me now”, Vader hears your thoughts. Your strength is admirable, it reminds him of when he was a child, how he endured the years of slavery. He sees himself in you, though you are definitely a better part of him.
The vision shows you running the faster you can, heart racing loud as a whirlwind seems to chase you. It’s you versus the nature. You are breathless. But you refuse to give up. You begin to get exhausted, and had it not been for an old lady who sees you and helps you out, you’d been swallowed by the growing electric storm.
You won. But your tribulations had just begun…
The vision changes to you nowadays. Vader’s heart breaks when he notices the many years you’ve been by yourself. Not only that but you are not a child anymore, rather a young woman.
He sees how similar you look like Padmé. Your face is no longer chubby, but your blue eyes seem to carry the weight of the world. The shades of your hair have gone darker, you look taller. Vader doesn’t realize his eyes are blurred by tears until they roll down his cheeks.
“I’m coming for you, child. Wherever you are, I am not letting you go this time. Whatever it takes.”
He pilots back to Lothar, aware that there is where you are now.
***
Your POV.
You are at an old Temple Jedi. You look at Kanan in search for answers. But in his eyes he is as puzzled as you.
“Come, Y/N. We are here at long last. How are we going to get inside? Go on and try yourself.”
You hesitate.
“I don’t think I can. The last tests I took a while to succeed.”
Kanan sighs.
“You should have some more faith in you, Y/N. What you lack is discipline. You need to have patience.” He gives you a gentle smile. “Now go on. Do or do not, there is no try.”
You frown, confused.
“How can this be without a try?”
“Master Yoda used to say that…” The Jedi strokes his chin, looking thoughtful. “To be honest, I don’t think I understand much either.”
You chuckle softly before acquiescing. You close your eyes, take a deep breath and after a few attempts, you manage to lift a big rock in a weird shape from a very big size.
“See?” Kanan tells you proudly. “I told you that you could do it.”
You blush.
“Thank you, Master.”
Now the two of you finally step inside. You walk for some minutes before standing before one great door. You don’t think you’ve ever felt so small before.
“By the Maker!” You exclaim suddenly, startling Kanan as your voice echoes.
“What’s it, Y/N?”
You point at two skeletons of Jedi masters sitting right there.
“Ah.” Kanan says. “These were masters who waited for their Padawans who never came back. Now, Y/N, you have to cross that door over there. Can you see it?”
You follow the direction his finger is pointing at. You see an entrance in the form of letter “A” that seems to lead into the unknown. But you are frightened.
“Go on, lass. You can do it.” He encourages you. “Just… don’t do anything you’d do it normally.”
You roll your eyes.
“Very funny, Master.” But you nod at him before proceeding to it.
Your steps are hesitant, but you finally cross the door. You barely do so before the door behind you closes, much to your despair.
“Damn it.”
You question yourself if you can do it. There is darkness ahead you. But you have to be brave. You lift your head and move into the nothingness ahead you. It’s when you finally meet… the Inquisidor.
Not long ago, you and the Ghost crew had come across an Inquisitor who was meant to prosecute the remaining Jedis and destroy them. It wasn’t an entirely surprise that, as part of a rebel cell, he found out the existence of a Jedi amongst your group—your master. The Inquisitor tried to prosecute you constantly, but he never made it. You had come to think he died, but if so what was he doing right before you?
You are about to panic.
***
Vader’s POV.
He finally lands at Lothar. He never considered going to this planet one day. The sand he sees gives him disgust. It reminds him of Tatooine and the mere thought gives the Sith lord nausea.
As Vader does so, removing his mask and lifting his hood, he begins to confabulate a way to approach you. Knowing you are associate to the rebels, and perceiving your Jedi Master is with you, a battle is expected—perhaps.
There is conflict in him, nonetheless. He wishes you no harm, you are his child after all, the very link to Padmé, the daughter he always wanted. That he lost you becomes intolerable to him.
But there is also shame… of who he is, of what he’s become, what he’s done. Would you forgive him for his past, for the path of blood he followed? So many questions make him anxious.
Vader then leaves the ship and moves to an ancient temple Jedi. But for some reason, he does not walk in. No. He waits, he can be patient.
From some distance, his eyes contemplate it with despise and repugnance to the Jedis. So vain, so proud. How better did they think themselves before the Sith?
And yet… Were the Sith any different? His own logic tricks him: you remain kneeling to those above you, when will you be your own master?
A thought that begins to dissipate the dark mists that were once placed in his eyes like a blindfold. Is he starting to see clearly? That he’s been manipulated all along?
The weight of an empire is too heavy for him. It resulted in catastrophic losses, though Vader does not care about others than his own. He closes his eyes, looking for you.
The Force guides him inside the temple. He sees your Master anxiously waiting for you, all the while you are across the door. Your first Jedi trial. It gives him mixed feelings: part of him is proud of your path, you are following in his steps, but… part of him fears what will be of you if you do. He wants to disassociate you from the Jedis.
Yet the question remains: how?
Vader closes his eyes and meditates.
He sees you plagued by the old wound that comes back to haunt you—the fear of abandonment. You are forced to face it as the Inquisitor teases you constantly, and may even imply something about your origins: if you had the Force, how could your parents fail to use it to prevent their deaths?
You try to save your Master, but the Inquisitor manages to kill him, much to your despair and powerlessness. You are then brought to the ship with the crew you are so fond of and they are all pitying you and underestimating you.
However, when the Inquisitor presses you against the wall, you look right into his eyes and say confidently:
“I am not scared of you.”
Something about witnessing this moment makes Vader smile to himself. When he sees you leaving the ancient temple with your master by your side, he hesitates.
And you feel his presence. Vader knows you do. Your eyes seem to find him, the man underneath a vine cape, whose features are omitted by the hood. The male sees you furrowing your brows, confused and alert at the same time.
However, by the time you try to get your Master’s attention, he is gone.
***
Your POV.
“I finally have a saber to myself.” You tell your friends after you spent three hours using the crystal you found at the ancient jedi temple to forge a new lightsaber.
“Now she will not stop talking about it all day.” Sabine sighs.
“Oh please, shut up. You are just jealous.” You smirk at her.
“Well this looks good, Y/N.” Kanan tells you with a hint of pride that makes you beam. “Nice work. Now, let us put it to use, shall we?”
After some trouble in the planet Y/C with two new inquisitors, you are now in the air again. Hera is piloting it in the atmosphere of Hoth, and without some mission to be assigned, Kanan decides it’s time to sharp your Jedi skills.
So there you are: Kanan, Sabine, Zeb, C1-10P and you.
“When I say 1…2…3, now go!”
The droid starts throwing things at you and your whole point is to either deviate from the objects or defend yourself from these with your saber. The first attempts are terrible and you are frustrated.
“You are not concentrating enough, Y/N.” Kanan tells you. “Come on, try again.”
“They are not helping.” You frown at Zeb. “Would you PLEASE stop laughing at me?!”
Zeb and Sabine only roar in laughters as you disastrously try to defend yourself from C1-P10’s teasings.
“In the real world there’ll be distractions.” So you are told. “Carry on, Y/N. Put some effort and concentrate.”
You are grumpy and unwilling to obey when a voice comes in the back of your mind: empty your thoughts, little one, and the concentration will be an easier task.
Had you not been under constant attack, you’d wonder where on earth did this voice come from. It is male, but does not strike to any you’ve known. When you see Kanan shaking his head at how helpless you are, you can tell immediately that it’s not his voice.
So whose is?
(To be continue)

The "nerdy" store at the bigger mall never has Rick and Morty merchandise--I found a DVD there once, but that's it--and yesterday was no exception. I did find a cardboard cutout of Sersi, my favorite Eternal:
Tumblr media
Am I the only one who liked Eternals? I think Marvel just marketed it badly.
I usually don't have much luck at Hot Topic, either. They sell bags of tiny figurines from other shows, and I always wondered why Rick and Morty didn't get in on that. Turns out, Adult Swim finally discovered that market!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When I first saw the characters on the back, I thought "Oh, cool, we're finally catching up to season five." Then I found a surprise: Crow Witch Rick!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I wanted that little guy so badly, but the figurines are packaged so that you don't know what you get until you open one. I thought "He has a pointy hat, so maybe I'll be able to feel that inside the bag." I've heard of people using a similar method to find rare hockey cards.
But nope...no luck. Maybe I'll be able to find an opened one on eBay.
Also, it's funny how they're making "Rickdependence Spray" merchandise like that isn't the worst episode in the series. Admittedly, I did laugh at Morty's "dirty little doggy" line. But it wasn't worth it!
Tumblr media
Hopefully, this means that more Crow Witch Rick merchandise is on the way because I would buy all of it.
Hot Topic also had another underutilized character: Philip J. Fry.
Tumblr media
Futurama is weirdly under-marketed. The series has enough of a cult following that it seems like a cash cow, but merchandise is rare. I've always thought that Futurama is strangely underrated in general even though it's aired on two major networks and has one of the most famous cartoonists in the world behind it.
On to Spencer's. They didn't have Pickle Rick OR the Rick and Morty cube. Pathetic! But they did have a new wallet that looked like an old TV set, which is pretty clever.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
GIF of the changing image:
Tumblr media
Today, it was time for a trip to the other mall. As always, I gave Box Lunch a little tip. Someone else requested the "will to live!" I don't think the mall can help them with that one.
Tumblr media
In the food court, I spotted a man wearing a Rick and Morty shirt. I said "Hey, your shirt is awesome! Can I get a picture?" He said "Yeah, sure." When I asked him where he got it, he said "Burlington."
Tumblr media
So Burlington sells demonic Rick and Morty merchandise now? That's news to me.
The pile of Rick and Morty Funko Pops greeted me at one of the "nerdy" stores, but they're still slowly thinning out. I guess nobody wants the huge Snowball.
Tumblr media
Similarly, I posted about this poor Froopyland Beth months ago, and she's still here. Nobody wants her!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And to make matters worse, there's an identical Froopyland Beth in a different part of the store who's lived there for months, too. They even lowered the price!
Tumblr media
The store also has two identical King of Shit Rick Funko Pops, each with a different location and price.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Don't want either of those? You can buy Rick in his ship if you're willing to reach to the top shelf.
Tumblr media
Look at him go!
THIS Spencer's location didn't let me down. Pickle Rick and the Rick and Morty cube were squeezed onto a shelf, albeit with a bat blocking the view.
Tumblr media
They also had a couple of new shirts. I love the vibrant colors.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And a handful of comics in a different "nerdy" store.
Tumblr media
No comics for me, thanks. Not unless they release a Crow Witch Rick one--and how has that not happened yet? Seems like an obvious way to expand on plotlines from the series.
Anyway, it'll probably never happen, but my dream is to get a Crow Rick figurine in this style. Maybe I'll hire someone to design and 3D print one.
