[one-idea]

Is there anything out there yet about a Nika worshiping cult trying to capture Luffy. Because there should be.

Maybe the crew comes a cross an island and the people are way to friendly. It’s giving Zoro flashbacks of Wiskey Peaks and he’s already starting to warn the crew not to trust these people.

But they’re so nice. Offering the crew food (Luffy’s sold)

and taking about a treasure hidden on the island (Nami’s all in as soon as money is brought up)

There are beautiful women who are more then excited to watch Sanji cook (Sanji’s suspicion is gone instantly)

Usopp’s with Zoro, always be cautious. But then they start complimenting the Sunny and Franky is proud to tell them about his baby and Usopp gets roped into talking about his inventions and then people are complimenting him(“come on Zoro-bro lighten up.”)

Brook is entertaining while Sanji cooks, both wrapped up in the tasks and the women around them.

Chopper’s been distracted by all the people complimenting him

The only people still on guard are Robin, Jinbei, and Zoro (no matter how much sake they put in front of him he’s not going to drop his guard. Not when the people seem really focused on his captain.

Robin is indulging the crowd but her eyes are sharp waiting for the Betrayal to come. It’s how she survived for so long and she’s not losing her crew.

Jinbei’s been around for a while and while he starts to drop his guard. (His captain and crew seem content to enjoy themselves, relaxing might not hurt) he hears some whispering of Nika in the crowd. He can’t pin down who is talking or what is being said but he’s not letting his guard drop until he knows their intensions.

Zoro is staying pretty close to Luffy as he watches over the rest of the crew. One of the villagers hands Luffy a drink and he downs it without thinking. And then he starts choking.

His hand goes up to his throat and he can’t breath. There’s no air making its way in. Zoro’s attention is immediately on his captain. Holding him up and trying to figure out what is wrong. The crowd starts to push in towards them and Zoro is quick to draw Wado Ichimonji holding Luffy close with his other hand and calling for the crew.

He can’t draw Sandai Kitetsu yet, she’s screaming for blood and he is to but he can’t give in to that impulse until Luffy is safe with another crew mate and they know what’s going on. It’s the same reason he doesn’t draw Enma who calling for the death of anyone threatening their king. Wado Ichimonji is protective of Luffy, loyal as Zoro and while she also wants to kill anyone who harms their captain she’ll wait until Luffy is out of harms way before demanding blood

The crew quickly gets between the crowd and their captain. Chopper quickly realizing the Luffy’s been poisoned.

Robin demands the antidote, already holding several of the leaders with her devil fruit ability. But the leaders laugh and tell them that there isn’t one. Why would they give him something with an antidote when they were trying to free Nika.

The crew starts to spiral at the first part, there has to be a cure! But then the second phrase registers. What do they mean free Nika?

Jinbei asks, more demands an answer. He can hear Luffy’s struggling gasps getting weaker and weaker and the whole crew is ready to burn the island down if they stop.

The leader smiles and goes on a tangent about how they have waited for Nika and they know he resides with in their captain. And that their prophecy says that to free Nika they need to kill his host.

Right now Nika is suppressed by his hosts consciousness but if the host life is put in danger, if he is about to die Nika will come forward and keep the body alive. They want to bring Nika forward. If they wounded Luffy then Nika would only stay in command until the wound healed. But an incurable poison. Nika will be in control for the rest of time. The sun god will return. And all it will cost is the life of their captain. They should be honored that they get to witness this glorious moment.

The strawhats are losing their minds. They can’t be serious. That’s not how devil fruits work. If they don’t give them the antidote right now they will all die!

Jinbei cuts through all the yelling and tells them they are wrong. He’s seen Luffy at deaths door before and Nika didn’t awaken.

But just as he finishes his sentence. Luffy’s body spasms and he goes rigid before his body goes lax and he fall deathly still. Zoro still has a hold of him and has to witness/feel the whole event as he called out “Luffy!” Alerting the rest of the crew.

For a moment everything is still. Then Luffy’s eyes snap back open but they are a different color. His hair turns stark white, his clothing changes as well. But it’s not like Wano. There is no laughter, no Joy. And isn’t it haunting to look at joyless Joyboy.

He rise up out of Zoro’s hold. He barly looks at his crew and when he does there is no warmth in his eyes.

This is a god that is furious at his host just being taken from him.

This is my base idea. From here I think I would have the crew go on a quest to find a cure for Luffy.

All the while Nika is standing there in Luffy’s place once they leave the island Nika is back to being Joyfull but it’s different from Luffy. They have to stop the god from running off (how do you contain freedom?) he’s laughing and bouncing around but he’s not Luffy. He knows all of them because Luffy thinks of them none stop but it’s that second degree of knowing someone, like meeting a friend of a friend. All of the warmth and love Luffy shows his crew is missing because Nika isn’t Luffy.

Fix it AU where when Ace goes to Alabasta to give Luffy his Vivre card, he also has a Luffy one made for himself.

He is off the island for barely a day before the vivre card erupts with a massive hole and shrinks to the size of his pinky tip because Luffy got impaled and burried in quick sand. He turns the Striker around so fast he boils the water beneath him.

By the time he gets back to Alabasta it’s raining and everyone is crying and cheering and there’s a sense of magic and freedom in the air. Crocodile is in handcuffs. Luffy’s alive and recovering and a guest of honor at the royal palace.

The rest of the series is just Ace trying to get literally anywhere and barely being able to make it a week before Luffy’s Vivre card does the wildest shit imaginable. Every time Ace gets there to check on Luffy the situation is incomprehensible. Half the time there is also the biggest party he’s ever seen taking place.

Possibly the weirdest time is when the vivre card insists that Luffy is in the sky for some reason. He’s not even particularly hurt just…in the sky. Ace thinks it might be malfunctioning until he hears a bell echo across the sea and sees his bother’s 50 foot shadow soaring in the clouds.

Another time Luffy’s vivre card freezes over instead of catching fire and Ace has no idea what to make of that, but it thaws out eventually. A day later he sees Aokiji bicycling across the ocean.

He barely has time to recover from that nonsense before he has to frantically follow Luffy’s shriveling vivre card to Ennies Lobby which is just …on fire when he gets there. The whole place. Completely destroyed. Also the navy is firing missiles at its own island intelligence base for reasons Ace does not have time to fathom because actually, the Vivre card says Luffy isn’t even here anymore.

(The card eventually leads him to water seven and Garp is there is there and Ace nopes out so fast.)

(…The next day the newspaper tells him Luffy has declared war on the world government. He is very proud.)

Anyway yeah, Ace never gets a chance to fight Blackbeard.

Dick high after getting his wisdom teeth removed: I hid the body.

Bruce, suddenly concerned not about his child admitting to a murder but outing himself as Robin and Bruce as Batman-

Dick: Bruce is Batman.

The doctor stares at Bruce. Bruce stares at the doctor.

Doctor: awe, that’s cute honey, but Batman’s got twice the muscle as your dad and a bigger ass.

Bruce:

Doctor: so tell me more about this body.

Dick: I killed a man once with a crowbar.

Jason, behind them: you fucking prick.

Tim, recording the whole thing: Bruce’s flat ass is trending.

Wooo, @kiaronna‘s Power of Love has been updated! I will celebrate by rereading it and respamming my serious-longhaired Yuuri illustration for this fic (now with 75% more eyeliner and 75% less text, because why not)!

[dyeingdoll]

Found this beautiful thing by @kiaronna called The Power Of Love, go check it out if you love long hair and miscommunication (really, it was almost physically hurt to read, but i loved it anyway)

Weird take of the day!

Whenever I run into a head cannon surrounding either Dick or Tim being blatantly incompetent when it comes to basic household necessities/chores I feel extremely uncomfortable.

Now are there similar discussions with Damian sure but he is a child who grew up in a position of extreme power.

Jason is always pictured as if he’s 1950’s housewife except instead of a husband he has a gun and instead of valium/tranquilizers there’s Jane Austin. But that in itself is ridiculous.

Do I think they all should be Alfred running around with feather dusters and bleach? No.

But Men should not be automatically moronic when it comes to cleaning/cooking.

Half of enemy to caretaker involving any of them has minimum one instance of cleaning everything because the other couldn’t do it.

It’s different with injuries/medical necessity of course if Dick is vomiting Tim can do the fucking dishes!

In order to actually be a functioning member of society you can’t burn water. To be a vigilante you should be able to do laundry without filling a room with soap.

Do I think objectively this is used more as a plot device than anything else? Yes.

Do I also know 100% it’s because of course men can be idiots when it comes to women’s work? Yes.

Look me dead in the face and tell me you would write Stephane’s or Bab’s this way?!?!

Dick can cook himself food!

Tim can clean his own room!

They aren’t mixing bleach and hydrogen peroxide! They can fold a towel.

Useless men are fucking annoying.



*Neither Dick or Tim would have been in a position to be completely unaware or ignorant of how to take care of themselves. It’s impossible.

[snakeredbirdbatkatana]

Bruce Wayne is the type of man to find his son trembling over a corpse and immediately begin planning an alibi.

Alfred meticulously scrubbing the stain, Jason coming and going without any noise. It’s none of their business where trash goes. Tim erases the footage, erases him whoever once was becomes not even a footnote.

Damian will be soft, playing the part indicative to the very boy who needs it.

Bruce Wayne is the very man people hate.

The ones that are above the law, waving wealth around his consequences always affordable.

Cars crashing into tree’s no officer dares a breathalyzer, NDA’s follow the abortion.

The Wayne’s have always been Gothams royals.

Bruce Wayne hasn’t been the prince in a very long time.

Dick Grayson was crowned before the ink dried.

The King ensured it.

[snakeredbirdbatkatana]

Everyone gets weird when it comes to the Batkids using their trauma/experiences against Bruce.

Even when it’s the most harmless of instances!

You guys would need a 72 hour hold if you saw how me and my Father interact.

He is a complicated individual still to this day influenced by his own childhood trauma. He Is the man, the myth, the legendary reason I have a PTSD diagnosis.

My Father and Bruce Wayne have a few things in common paranoia, manipulative tendencies, extreme attachments to their firstborns, but most importantly thickass wallets.

It is underused in all matters of fandom not giving the Boys and Cass the restitution they’ve put in years of hard labor for! Dick Grayson is union going on 25 years.

Every single slightly traumatic moment has a dollar amount attached.

Bruce Wayne would pay it! It’s the guilt..that I think upsets people because the average mentally goodish person cannot fathom using that against Bruce or any person.

“Bruce Cares!” “He made mistakes!” “He loves them!”

Ok..cool but let’s come at it from a different angle!

Bruce Wayne has roughly 42 kids and about 10,000 parenting mistakes. He’s also got about 140 billion dollars.

So what would Bruce rather do? Sit listening to 18 hours of Jason’s accurate valid complains or give him 30,000 so he can go back to Batman things?

Are we getting what I’m putting down?

*In conclusion never let your parents live down their fuck ups if there is a chance of expensive gifts!

The Lightning Thief is so unhinged from the perspective of the gods  

The gods are already in a pretty dire situation even before finding out about Percy’s existence: Zeus and Poseidon are on the brink of a civil war, one of the most powerful weapons of the universe is missing, and no one has any idea what’s really going on.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, there is a new child of one of the big three

The first direct contact they have with Percy, the guy who could be the hero who either saves or dooms them, is him sending the decapitated head of Medusa to Olympus with a cart that says “With best wishes, Percy Jackson," and no added context whatsoever

The next thing they see, is him and Annabeth on a live stream on Hephaestus TV, where tehy escape from Hephaestus trap in the waterpark; video footage which ends with Percy turning around to stare directly into the camera, probably looking pissed as hell, and yelling:  “Show’s over! Thank you! Good night!”

He then manages to enter and escape from the underworld practically unharmed

Wins a one-on-one battle against Ares

Returns the lightning bolt and the helm of darkness on the day of the summer solstice, and stops the war

And then…. he just dips

Like, he leaves camp half-blood at the end of that summer, despite the fact that the last big three kid got herself killed trying to get there, and just disappears for a whole ass year to go to school

Like that’s what I call “leaving an impression." Honestly, the best introduction they could have ever gotten to Percy.

[sanjuno]

Ok, so, One Piece seems very cavalier about Shanghaiing people at first? Like, no joke, Luffy technically Shanghai’s Sanji, DEFINITELY Frankie, make an argument for Nami and Chopper... And then there’s Ace and Whitebeard. Maybe it’s different because Luffy is the MC, or isn’t already established, but there are similarities.

And those very similarities are used to highlight the differences. I think the issue we’re running into here is understanding the definition of “shanghai”. Which is to drag someone onto your ship while they’re unconscious or otherwise compromised and then force them into either joining the crew or dying. Let’s look at the examples you gave, which I have actually covered in previous asks:

Luffy asks Sanji repeatedly to join his crew. Sanji says “no”. Luffy says, “okay, but I’m not leaving here until you say yes.” Sanji remained in full control of his personal agency and his life choices throughout the whole thing. Then Luffy proved himself worthy of being followed and Zeff gave Sanji his blessing to leave. Not actually shanghaied by any definition.

In comparison, Ace is trapped on the Moby Dick. Ace does not have access to his crew or his ship. When Ace says “NO”, loudly and with repeated attempts at murder, Whitebeard laughs and says “okay, but I’m not letting you leave until you say yes.” Given that Ace was unconscious when he was brought aboard the Moby and then technically beaten and starved until he gave in to the social pressure of the men around him, Ace was shanghaied pretty much by the book.

Frankie was run around and given strong encouragement to join the Strawhats, this is true… but Luffy doesn’t actually let him on the ship until Frankie verbalizes his own desire to join the crew. The flashback scene where the Frankie Family are asking Luffy to take Fankie along is a good example of this. Luffy’s like “sure, Frankie can come if he wants to.” If Frankie makes that choice. Luffy doesn’t let people join his crew if they don’t want to be there. That’s just facts.

Nami, on the other hand, was technically shanghaied by Arlong. Not Luffy. Nami travelled with Luffy of her own free will. Sure, I suppose you can make the argument that Luffy poached Nami for his own crew, but Nami was the one who made all the overtures that made her a part of Luffy’s crew. From teaming up with Luffy against Buggy to asking for Luffy’s help to defeat Arlong. Nami was the one who reached out to Luffy. Not the other way around. Luffy was simply acting in response to the things Nami did and said. Point proven by the way Luffy doesn’t do a damn thing on Cocoyashi until Nami asks him to.

Finally we have Chopper. Who got chased around the castle because Luffy thought he looked tasty. Then Luffy discovered that Chopper was a person and a monster and so cool! And so Luffy asks Chopper to join his crew. And Chopper argues with Luffy but does in the end consent to join the Strawhats. “I have to tell Doctorine I’m leaving!”

Luffy is hugely respectful of other people’s agency. Vivi needs to stay and rebuild her country? Okay, she’s still one of the Strawhats even if she stays behind. Nami is being forced to work for another pirate crew? Or Robin left because she’s being blackmailed with our safety? Or Sanji’s been stolen by his evil criminal relatives so they can force him into a political marriage? Yeah okay, Luffy is going to chase after them until they tell him the truth about what they want.

Remember that Luffy can hear the Voice of All Things. He knows when his nakama are lying to him in an attempt to keep the rest of the crew safe. It’s a fundamental part of Luffy’s character to say “You should join my crew!” And yeah, Luffy’s persistent about it. Luffy will show up at your door every day for a year and ask the same question. But never, at any point, does Luffy force someone to sail with him.

Whitebeard does force Ace into joining his crew. It doesn’t really matter how nicely or kindly the Whitebeard Pirates treated Ace afterwards. The fact that Ace was forced into compliance with Whitebeard’s desires will always rub me wrong. Because there was zero respect for Ace’s personal agency in that flashback. Put Luffy in Ace’s place, and then come back and tell me that Luffy does the same thing to his nakama.

You can’t. Because Luffy doesn’t. And Whitebeard never should’ve.

Because Ace deserved better.
