But why the upper arm strap though what is it for is it just slutdrien like id have two metaphorical nickels for adrien. Being uh. Having- a uh. Strap. On his uh. A limb. But like. Why. like the purpose of the thigh strap is for the cane but what is the upper arm strap for
this is perhaps one of the funniest asks ive ever gotten
the arm strap is called a sleeve garter and they were used primarily in the latter half of the 19th century and early bits of the 20th century when long sleeve button-downs began to be widely mass-produced with a single, long length of sleeve. to customize the sleeve and make it the right length for the individual, sleeve garters were worn. now, sleeve garters are not as widely used but are often seen as flashy touches to costumes or uniforms for certain professions.
so there is a historical purpose! however here are the dms between anna and i when we decided on adding a sleeve garter:
thanks for asking!!<3

Eddie is beginning to wonder if he’ll ever reach a point where Steve couldn’t reduce him to this state.
This state being… transfixed. Eddie is sure he must look like a lovesick cartoon. In fact, if he could manage to drag his gaze away, he’d probably find red hearts circling around his head in a halo, popping like little bubbles.
But Eddie can’t move his eyes. Can’t even close his mouth either.
Steve’s talking to him too, which is most definitely worse — he’s totally missing every word. He can see Steve’s lips moving, pink plush lips wrapping around words but fuck, that was a total trap because now Eddie is just looking at his lips. He tries to refocus, to listen. His eyes just wander back to what he was staring back at the first place.
Was Steve like this all the time? Just a walking around looking so damn delectable?
Or is it Eddie, just a starved man who’s been living off stolen glances, for as long as he can remember? For once, he’s learning, he’s allowed to look.
And by God, is he looking.
Steve’s not even doing it on purpose either, which probably makes the whole thing funnier. Eddie knows what his boyfriend (boyfriend! he thinks giddily in his mind) looks like when he’s cleaned up to impress. He can spot the way Steve preens beneath Eddie’s lingering gaze.
This is not that. Today, Steve is just cleaning, a usual Sunday morning ritual.
He’s got some old sport shorts on and he’s clearly grown a bit since he first got them— unless Hawkins has always been giving out slutty little shorts to the basketball team (They haven’t. Eddie would know if they did.)
He’s wearing one of his wife-beater singlets too. It’s a little on the scrappy side though, considering it’s nearly see-through with how worn it is.
Honestly, in Eddie’s humble and gay opinion, it’s stupidly hot. The dark hair dusted across of Steve’s chest is visible beneath it, the shirt showing off the shape of his broad chest. Even better, his happy trail is visible and goddamn, if that doesn’t make Eddie happy, he doesn’t know what will.
But it’s not even that.
Quite frankly, Eddie’s rather embarrassed that he’s basically blue-screening because Steve is pulling out the cord out from the vacuum cleaner.
But… but he’s yanking it up towards his chest, slow and strong repetitive motions— that take enough effort to make his biceps bulge with every tug.
Eddie can’t stop watching. The cord must be several metres long and he’s not sure if he should be cursing it or thanking it for the view he gets; Steve’s tan arms flexing and rippling. Try as he might, Eddie can’t help imagining how they must look when Steve’s got his hand aroun—
“—hello? Are you even listening to me?”
Steve’s voice cuts into Eddie’s dangerously side-tracked thoughts and he pauses his tugging at the same time. It’s the thing that finally allows him to break his lustful stare at Steve’s arms. Oh God, he just got all hot and bothered over his boyfriend doing the vacuuming.
“Hello.” Eddie says back, because that was the first word to register in his brain. “I mean- yes. I’m—”
Eddie decides mid-sentence that he’s not getting away with the lie. He pivots. “Okay, no, I didn’t hear that. Would you please tell me what you just said, oh lovely sweet man of mine?”
Ever the butterer-upper, he was. Thank God it works on Steve. He rolls his eyes a little but there’s an adoring grin on his lips.
“Man of mine,” Steve mutters amusedly under his breath. He drops the vacuum cord on the carpeted floor and leans down the grab the handle of the vacuum. “You just kinda froze when you came in. I was asking if everything was okay? I’m just doing this room then I’ll be done, if you don’t like the noise.”
Eddie adores that Steve’s taken his silence as though he might be afraid of the vacuum cleaner or something. He nearly snorts aloud at how far from the truth it is.
“Uh huh.” Eddie nods, not bothering to correct him. He jerks a thumb behind him, pointing at nothing. “I’m just gonna…”
He spins on his heel and exits left stage, fast as he can while still looking normal (he’s unsuccessful, as he leaves a baffled Steve behind him.) As he enters into the kitchen and decides to fix them both a pot of coffee, Eddie lets himself giggle over the pure absurdity of what just happens.
It’s mortifying. It’s hilarious. He can never tell Steve.
Except, when Steve comes to find him in the kitchen and trades a kiss for some coffee, Eddie can’t help it. All he ever wants to do is make Steve laugh.
He decides it’s worth the embarrassment when Steve laughs so hard coffee comes out his nose.
Steve teasingly promises that he’ll to try be less distracting, then rescinds his words at Eddie’s abject reaction (“Don’t you dare.”) looking far too smug— in a delighted sort of way. Preening, in that way Eddie loves.
Their first kiss, as Eddie slides onto Steve’s lap and loops his arms over his shoulders, fingers dancing on those tasty arms, tastes a little bit like coffee. Their mugs grow cold, untouched.
Eddie doesn’t mind — he’s too busy finding out that the rest of their kisses taste like something between sunlight and Steve.

Telling Them “You Have a Slutty Waist”
Ft. Sanji, Law, Ace, Zoro
Zoro
He thinks you called him a slut and now he wants to fight.
You don’t even explain yourself he just keeps getting angrier the more you mention it.
Some days you just hug his waist and say it
“Look at this waist…made for a slut.”
“THE HELL YOU CALL ME—“
He’s like that guy in that one video that says “What the hell even is that” after being told “Daddy chill.”
He doesn’t understand and that’s what makes it funnier he has absolutely no clue if you’re insulting him or not
“Y/N, what is a slutty waist please tell me.”
“It’s in the title, Zo…jeez…”
“BUT WHAT IS IT IS IT BAD?”
Sanji
A literal slut though.
This is my favorite pic of him btw like wtf look at his ASS too. The ratio to waist to ass is just—
You call him your slut a lot whether you both are just together or having sex and you think he really likes it
He does get taken a back when you say slutty WAIST though
“Sl—what?!”
You wrap your arms around his slim body on squeeze it nearly picking him up in the process and he shrieks.
“What’s—what’s a slutty waist? Is it…?”
Please tell him it’s a compliment this man already has so many insecurities.
You do and tell him it turns you on and now he’s turned on and so that’s now your problem
Law
He just flips you off lmao
He has heard you say it many times to him before but now it’s just sounding like jealousy
And it may be
“If you’re saying my waist is lean then yes it is…you jealous?”
“I ain’t jealous of no slut….or your whoreish tiddies.”
Now he’s just annoyed with you because wtf is your problem.
Ace
Looks at you like this^
“You’re the only woman I’ve been with how am I a slut?”
He gets so confused when you say it he starts rubbing his tummy and asking Marco is that a medical condition
Pls help him
You urgently tell him it’s a compliment and he immediately starts laughing. He likes it a lot
Now He says you have a slutty waist, ass, mouth—-
“Alright calm down now.”
“You do! You have these slutty tits—“
“ENOUGH”
