thinking about zoro noticing sanji being more restless at dinner one night. he’s imperceptibly frazzled, perfect suit a little less put together, tie looser around his neck and carrying a barely-noticeable tremble in his fingertips that isn’t usually there. zoro’s noticed him eyeing the bottle of sherry on the countertop whether he himself realises it or not, and the realisation dawns on zoro that the damn cook needs a break.
he of all people knows how sanji pushes himself too far— maybe not physically, but he will blatantly ignore burnout and mental fatigue until it eats away at him enough that he’s forced to stop, whether by the crew’s efforts or his own oft-disregarded limitations. it’s a form of undeserved self-flagellation that makes zoro want to punch a wall but sanji can’t know he cares, no, because 1. the cook won’t take well to being “mothered” (cue zoro’s eye roll) and 2. they’re supposed to be rivals. hello.
so after dinner he tidies the galley to sanji’s exact specifications (which he just,,, happens to have memorised, alright, stop making a big deal out of it. he knows all his nakama’s routines. shut up.) and finds the cook on the deck, liquor in hand, telling him that luffy had asked him to. he snags the sherry from sanji’s slender fingers so that the cook doesn’t drink too much too fast. he feels sanji struggle with words and leaves the space around them empty so that the cook can fill it as and when he sees fit.
it’s the least that zoro can do, he thinks. holding space for someone he cares about because he’s never been good enough with words to fill it himself, but sanji’s never seemed bothered.
zoro lets slip something that he doesn’t think about, the words natural as breathing, tries not to freak out about it, and takes his spot in the crow’s nest so that his cook can rest.
i wrote this properly in sanji’s pov and it’s here, by the way. if you even care.

Kicking and squealing as I realize I have attracted the lifers fans to me by posting fanart. Like yes yes come.
Come to me you moths. Your curiosity will burn you, your desires will set you ablaze, your desperation will lead you into the fire. And I will have moth wings on my sidewalk, singed and cold from the cool night air. Your last moments only graced with a moments acknowledgment.
Sorry I need to write a fanfic again my inner drama kid is picking the lock on his cadge again.

Am thinking about The Corinthian and how he treats killing. He certainly enjoys it and you can tell but he enjoys it because it’s him succeeding at his purpose. To him his purpose is to be a reflection of the worst of humanity. To demonstrate how ugly it can be (and GOSH what a fantastic parallel/contrast to John that is). And like? It just fascinates me how because of that he isn’t ALWAYS killing. He isn’t always seeking out a next victim. Sometimes he just fucks. When he takes Jed he takes on the responsibility of being an adult for him with zero intention to hurt him. And sure that was selfishly motivated but there is such a distinct difference between him and someone like Funland who is DRIVEN by his incessant desire to hurt children. Where The Corinthian doesn’t seem to even struggle with restraining himself from hurting people.

The way they should at the very made s2 of lok abt korra and the crew going on a journey to relearn the elements and maybe she meets the lion turtle and diss a way to give ppl back their bending back because it was just block by chi bending and at the end it would lead to her giving lin and everyone their bending back if they wanted it back then it would lead into the next season which the conclusion would be the air bending boom or he giving back power could bring the boom on.

A couple of weeks ago I went out for dinner with a friend. Her boyfriend, a friend from her college and a girl we grew up with came with us as well.
It was a waitlist situation so we all piled in Friend A’s car while we waited. I was opening my phone when the girl we grew up with, we’ll call her Girl C, commented about my lock screen being myself.
It went a little something like this:
Girl C: “not your lock-screen being a picture of you. ”
*said with disbelief and an eye roll*
It was probably meant as a joke, but I got a little hurt and here’s why (also my response to her).
Me: “i think i deserve to have myself as my lock-screen after hating myself and the way I looked for years”
*said bluntly. silence enveloped the car for a moment. then there were nods of agreement and “period” said here and there*
Long story (not) short, if you’re like me and you have yourself as your lock-screen, do not let anybody make you feel bad.
I’m only 18 (19 in a couple of weeks🤪😌) and up until a year or two ago, I hated the color of my skin, the texture of my 4c hair, my face, and my body. So when I graduated from high school, I made the pictures I loved my lock-screen because in that moment I felt beautiful, and every time I look at my screen now, it makes me feel happy and beautiful.
