okay i’m being a lil hyper today and i CANNOT get the idea of an island empress reader having Luffy wrapped around her finger, plus the island itself UGH i’ve already though of it all guys. pls encourage me to talk more cause i have a 4 page goodbye doc for this fucking reader.
kay so basically my entire thought is empress reader on a very distant yet powerful island, like she’s friends with everyone and her island has a neutrality agreement bc of this, meaning marines and pirates have to be chill and natural around each other or smth
anyways- some day the Strawhats are just sailing around when Nami starts freaking tf out abt ‘THIS FUCKING ISLAND I FUCKING FOUND HER YES FUCK’ and literally screaming to find their big ass transponder snail meanwhile everyone else is just shocked she’s genuinely tweaking
come to find out Nami n her family (might be agaisnt cannon but fuck off) we’re regulars of reader’s island back when they were both lil girls and they bonded so hard that they still write each other and Nami has slowly been nudging the crew to get closer n closer to her island just so she can geek out with her childhood bestie
so they all are like ‘lmao okay that’s chill’ and park it and Nami just takes off. i’m talkin they turn around and she’s bolting toward the massive ass golden castle or smth, and they just kinda chill while the islanders greet them and start slowly (normally) taking them to the castle. they’re like weirdly neutral abt Nami screaming like a banshee, mainly cause the older islanders remember her and know it’s a lot for her
so they literally barely make it to the first step of the entrance before two shrill screams ring out and Nami comes out dragging this gorgeous, young ass empress out, covered head to toe in jewels and charms, even her hair is filled with crystals tied to her braids and spirals of gold and silver are strategically placed everywhere. she’s got obviously tribal tattoos and symbols decorating her entire body, her thick form’s dressed in the more beautiful silk robes and she’s got the brightest smile as she openly sobs int Nami’s arms
and Luffy, for the first time in his life, is completely shellshocked from her, just like ‘:0’ and STARING at the empress while she tries to compose herself
Obviously she’s aware of who they are, shooting them all pleasantries and looking down at Luffy (mf is like 5’6 im sorry i’m 5’11 I LOVE SHORT LUFFYSS KAKDKSKQ) and giving him just the sweetest smile and soft lil ‘hello Captain’ and oh god he’s literally shaking his hands are sweaty what-
then Usopp’s just like ‘HAH srry he’s never seen such a pretty lady before’ and they’re all giggling at his absolutely stary-eyed face as he’s just dead silent, heart racing in front of this goddess.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the way people are responding to what's going on in Gaza right now. And listen, ex political science major here - I do know why. I understand the political implications, the complex chokehold a certain country has on the western countries and why that is. Intellectually, I'm fully aware of why we're in the place that we're in. Why the rhetoric is what it is.
But.
They told them to evacuate, and then bombed the evacuation routes that they told them to use. They've all but said they want this to be a g*nocide. There are at least 45 generations of Palestinians that have been wiped out this week. At least 600 children have died.
They're restricting access to power to not just civilians, but hospitals. There is no clean water left in Gaza.
They're restricting access to power so that the people who live there cannot document what is happening to them. They're using chemical weapons with no regard for the innocent people who might get caught in the crossfire. I mean for fuck's sake, half of those 2.2 million people who live there are children under the age of fifteen because the life expectancy for that area is fucking 30 years old. It is internationally known as the worlds largest open air prison.
T*rrorism is wrong. Killing civilians is wrong. But this is a completely disproportionate and inappropriate response to what happened. And frankly, it just seems like they've been waiting for an excuse to do this.
My brain is having a hard time understanding the cognitive dissonance that allows people to post pictures of Gaza and Palestinian children with the caption "pray for [blank]” and then delete it when they find out what/who the pictures are actually of. Like... why are they different? How can you claim to be inclusive, to support things like BLM, but do this?
Again, I understand politically why and how we ended up here. I understand why people in power are hesitant to openly denounce these actions. I can even understand why and how Jewish people can be in support of this. Generations of (let's call it what it is) propaganda is going to be hard to unlearn. They've spent their whole lives being told that they're the enemy. The government talks about Palestinians like they're animals and not real, tangible humans.
Two things can be true at once: I can love my Jewish friends and family and grieve for the people who lost someone to a terrorist attack, while also acknowledging that this is wrong. And I don’t want to be silent about this. Especially not when I’ve seen multiple videos from people in Gaza begging for the rest of the world to not let them be forgotten, and to not take our eyes off of this. They’re not asking for help because they know it won’t come. They’re just asking us to bare witness to them, and that we don’t let history forget them.
So, to those of you who are staying off of social media this weekend in an effort to avoid the coverage of this event: don’t. Avoid the graphic videos and pictures, but don’t do them the disservice of burying your head in the sand. They’re not even asking for help. They just want to be seen.

I’m so torn because, in a sense, I understand the appeal of “nothing about this story was inevitable”… of character accountability… But, on the other hand, stories literally ARE inevitable and characters literally CANNOT do anything to change them. Their fates are set in stone by forces far beyond them and I’m ALWAYS gonna be a sucker for a character trying their damndest to get out and The Narrative fucking them over and forcing them back into their Assigned Role.

Regarding Requests
Trigger warning
Okay this has been long overdue but I never really felt the need to make one of these until recently. The list is rather short and it really wasn’t worth posting but I’ve gotten a few asks over the past week or so and it’s about time to address this.
Here is a list of tropes that I am uncomfortable with and will refuse to write. Asks with such are deleted on the spot. These are non negotiable.
Anything self harm/suicide related
Anything eating disorder related—Whumpee’s recovering from starvation/different eating habits in captivity is another story which I don’t have a problem with
Explicit eye whump
Teeth pulling
Minor whumpees—sometimes I may have implications but will never explicitly specify they are under 18
Noncon/dubcon—anything explicitly sexual
As stated a few times before, as of now (November 2022) I will be branching out a bit into some darker themes that are still a bit squickish to me, to explore what I’m comfortable with and such. So here’s a few things that I will write if i feel they fit best but are not open for specific requests
Brain whump- lobotomies, brain surgery, that stuff, but there’s a line with this one too.
Amputation
General drugs/alcohol
Death of a main character
Skinning
Extreme gore/permanent disfigurement
Romantic relationships between a Whumper and Whumpee (consensual, yandere is alright)
And then here’s some stuff that I don’t have a problem writing, it’s just not of interest to me
Sick fics / general illness focused writing. Honestly I don’t find it very interesting on its own, but maybe if there’s a good intense plot to support it then fine
Android whump
Please also be mindful that there may be some not on this list—I will try to update as things come along.
Have a great day, whump community.
