Moon 72 - Yearning

(long time no see)

Fanfiction is so goated actually

No monetary incentive, just writing in one's free time. Some incentive for like kudos and comments, because who doesn't want to hear that someone else enjoyed what they wrote. Just writing a story that is good and/or enjoyable, no real-life pressure to keep it going because god forbid you and other people are depending on it financially.

Writing a story because you want to write a good story, so you can write what they want the way you want, at a pace that is realistic for you, with exactly the plot pacing you want there to be.

in my dream last night they released a bill cipher themed soda called Decipher and I tried to go get some but insane wacky nonsense kept interrupting me before I could. I mean the nonsense had to do with the plot of the rest of the dream but it just kept showing up at the exact moment that I was about to get my soda. Ive just remembered the plot of the rest of the dream was that all of the straw hat piratds were there at tbis theme park we were in and some other group of pirates were trying to bully nico robin. the other pirate group was goth btw. their captain almost died from getting splashed with acid (by nico robin) (it was justified). But I didnt see that happen bc really I was mostly focused on getting my dumb soda.

trying my hand at some post timeskip zolu (somewhere in the aftermath of fish man island's main events) and ugh. I love them so much they're so fun to write

i do love canon amy & rory but god, does some part of me wish they really had gone with the idea of the doctor picking up a child as a companion (and then later, that child’s best friend with a huge crush on her.) with the rest of the season really not changing at all, except now it’s amelia pond with an angel in her head killing her and lost alone in the woods. it’s little rory who dies and is forgotten and becomes a toy soldier. if this is going to be a fairy tale, then let it be one. children have never been safe in fairy tales.

most recent story development in my brain: ive decided to actually seperate taffy and coco during the timeskip

initially i had it that taffy sticks with coco because he has nowhere to go and they eventually get together over the timeskip. the new version is that he runs away and disappears right before mochi leaves

in my head i see him as the type to run away after what mochi and coco do for him-- after coco put in so much effort and time advocating for him because she saw that there were traces of a good person under his antagonistic nature, and after mochi beat his ass for the final time and finally cleared his curse, he doesnt know what to do with himself.

the rest of the guild at that point (mochi included) has an attitude of "We know why you were the way you were. Now that there's no reason for you to hate us, you're free to go where you want. You can even stay with us." and this sentiment eats him alive. the guilt he feels is insane. the fact that he spent months (years?) trying to ruin mochi, brewing in bitterness and rage and all of a sudden all of that is gone and replaced with forgiveness and warmth is unbearable and he cant stand it, so he leaves.

this is all coupled with his feelings for coco and the attitude on his end of "I don't deserve this. I don't deserve her. All I can do is bring them down. All I can do is bring her down. I have no right to stay here. I have no right to want to stay here."

so theres a pivotal scene in my head where he has all these thoughts, standing right outside the side door to mochis house hearing them all chattering inside, and has a long moment of hesitation before going inside. in the OLD version coco opens the door before he can make up his mind and forces him inside with the rest of them, but in the NEW version i think its much more taffy-like if hes gone by the time she notices and gets to the door

(tldr timeline: mochi removes his curse -> he disappears -> he only appears for the last amanita fight because really thats HIS fight as much as it is mochis -> he leaves again RIGHT after. i imagine coco tried to stop him or say goodbye but this man is notoriously good at escaping quickly)

and so timeskip-wise coco attends university on her own. she keeps in touch with oscar and lime (more oscar than lime) and while she never directly set out to look for taffy, there was always that desire to look for him in a crowd or something, maybe hoping to run into him at random or that he would show up out of nowhere like he did the first time.

I'm not totally sure what he does during the timeskip then. something far away from coco and the guild, but somewhere close to the ocean because he could never find it in him to stray too far from it for too long. maybe lost his touch with water magic a bit because he was too afraid and guilt-ridden to use it. never really stopped thinking about coco but couldnt muster up the courage to go find her again. for YEARS hes convinced that she doesnt want to see him and he wouldnt do anything to make her life better. hes done too much to all of them for them to ever accept him, he thinks.

until one day coco just. shows up. after tracking him down (with mochi and sulluvans help). sitting on a barrel at the docks he works at in some city somewhere, eating some cotton candy she bought at the docks like "Heyo! Mochi needs another guild member, and you kinda owe us one, soooo..."

I keep thinking of how I want to taxonomize Siffrin and Loop bc it feels significant to me that Loop and Siffrin both have inherently diverged from the same Traveler Mold they came from. But because I am like a 7 year old I keep sagely nodding to myself going "ah yes... just like mega mewtwo"

anyways since i'm on a headcanon rambling kick. I don't really consider much of ts3 to be canon in my own lore (but that is another ramble) BUT i do put stock in both simis bachelor and alex goth having the neurotic trait. which is sorta a lame pop culture ocd-anxiety-vaguely-paranoid situation in game but in the theater of my mind it is genuinely a genetic mental illness deal and all that. and to me Bella also has it to a much more tightly-controlled degree especially since she's a very public-facing figure + is A Woman so of course god forbid women do anything etc but it probably somehow works into her going missing eventually (i dont actually have a real bella goth disappearance theory tbh). i sorta wander between what exactly it would be if it was a diagnosis and what exactly the symptoms are (generally its more in an anxious + morally scrupulous way but i do sometimes want to think it could go in more of a true paranoia/delusional direction idk whatever strikes) but idk. the bachelors have got that bloodline curse for sure.

as for if michael has it i'm also not consistent about. i've never narratively focused on him beyond being married to dina + being a Mess who partied to an early grave. which could have been to cope with that but idk

anyways there's a sort of micro-tragedy to me in that even if bella never went missing and he led a perfectly "normal" life alexander was still going to age into a mental health struggle, albiet one that would have probably been caught + dealt with sooner. but bella went messing and set off the dominoes to make Everything Worse yippeeee

HAPPY BIRTHDAY , PERONA

birthdays were always celebrated with moria, always showered with gifts that her father would present her. she was used to this sort of this. now . . . moria was rumored to be dead, and though she never let it get to her usually, the depression was starting to take its' toll.

sure, nothing was quiet on kuraigana, what with the stupid swordsmen constantly going at it, but it seemed like it was missing something. she had grown greatly the year she came to this lonely little island, her voice no longer raising to screech at zoro so much, and she had learned that mihawk didn't tolerate the spoiled princess act and had quickly shut that down. but still, things were too quiet in the castle.

perona had stayed inside her room the whole day, heart aching for her death father. the two men, though sometimes oblivious, put the pieces together rather quickly. she had mentioned a few times before that her birthday was approaching, and with the out of character isolation, they could only assume.

by the time she had left her quarters - late into the night, that is - a gift lay waiting at her door, and plate that harbored a single slice of cake, who's frosting matched the color of her cotton candy hair. it was a strange sort of sight, the ghost princess squatting down to examine the box that was presented to her; it was small, but heavy when she picked it up. within the box was a small knife, the hilt decorated in a pretty pink, with a ribbon hanging from the end of it. it seemed that mihawk had gifted her this shiny new toy, if one could just glance at the craftsmanship of the blade itself, and if she had to guess . . . zoro had at least come up with the idea for the cake.

somehow, though the gesture was small, it made her chest swell with joy, tears springing forth from her doll - like eyes. she wouldn't thank them - no that was too awkward - but she was sure they could tell when she wore that knife the next day like an accessory, attached her pretty pink belt by the ribbon. they could tell even more so, when both woke up to the rare sight of her cooking breakfast on a day it wasn't her turn.

hi who's your favourite one piece character

waugh why do i gotta pick...but okay so off the top of my head the first instinct i have is yamato but really im. so attached to him even though i havent even met him in the series yet its fucking INSANE. i just. truly i just think hes neat

if we're talking current favorites, then it's probably zoro and kiku (who is a wano character so u you havent met but i love her. so much. waugh)

and just In General some of my big favorites are probably law, reiju, robin, ace, chopper, luffy...i could. i could keep naming all of the straw hats and a lot of supporting characters and we would be here all day. but. yeag.

u asked for one and i gave u a whole group so apologies for that but im uh. im a lil spread out on this one

i feel like some ppl on twt are worried about there being a timeskip over koshien?? but i honestly don’t see tj-sensei skipping over any single part of koshien. i think especially with the introduction of hongo during spring koshien and eijun’s promise to himself that the next time he stepped into koshien stadium he wouldn’t be stuck in the bull pit we kind of HAVE to see them go as far as possible. and even though eijun got them this far he never wants to stop playing with his team and still has to prove to himself that he can shoulder the dreams of not only the current team but last years team as well by helping lead them through koshien. i just think tj-sensei still has a lot to show us!!!
