I've been on Tumblr (not always this account) since like 2014? and I've never had a "who am i" post so here's that.
My name is Ross! I'm a geoarchaeologist by day, drag queen by night, and a fanfiction writer on and off.
I have many interests but I can only hyperfixate on one at a time and if you scroll through my account, you can see my phases. Right now I'm into Yakuza 😈
Hmm random facts? I've been doing drag since 2017, I'm a trained singer, I speak Spanish, andddd I study anthropology with a focus on Indigenous American culture in my spare time!
Below the cut is my face. Warning: Don't fall in love with me 😩😩😩
Sucks for you guys that don't understand him, but I relate to Mihawk on a far more nuanced and personal level.
I, too, am a reclusive homosexual who enjoys sleeping, standing quietly in the corner, being plagued by visions, and getting white girl wasted on wine by myself.
And I also shirk my responsibilities, dress only in dark colors, appreciate a damask brocade pattern, and don't know how to decorate a bathroom.
I was trying to figure out why live action Crocodile gave me uncanny valley feelings, and I think it's because I can't not see Joe Manganiello.
Admittedly, he's the only actor I recognized before watching (I...don't see a lot of movies) so when he comes on screen, I do the Leo Dicaprio point because
I've seen it used as both. I think technically by Japanese naming standards, Mihawk is his first name, but if someone used it as his last name, I probably wouldn't bat an eye. Even in English, he's never introduced as Mihawk Dracule, just like how Luffy is always Monkey D. Luffy, even in English content.
My ideal CrocHawk dynamic is Trophy Husband/Spoiled Arm Candy/Mafioso Wife Mihawk and Shady Businessman/Mafia Boss Crocodile who's underlings are terrified of him, but only until they see how whipped he is for Mihawk.
Now , they're scared of the Boss's silent-but-deadly husband who has the most powerful man in the city wrapped around his finger.
I'm very much a CrocHawk peddler, but I treat it as a relationship that can only come after two other ships have broken up.
There is no CrocHawk without Crocodile/Doflamingo messy divorce and Mihawk/Shanks ex-situationship for me.
I think it just adds some flavor to it, especially if they knew each other when they were in other relationships and lusted after each other.
It also speaks to me in the way that those past relationships were unhealthy or became so over time, and CrocHawk is them finding happiness for once.
Like, Crocodile was afraid of Doffy, either him or his influence, but never spoke up about it. Doffy was very charismatic and romantic at first, which is why Croc fell for him (and his super long tongue 👀). But over time, he became obsessive and extremely jealous of anyone Crocodile spoke to. He had volatile emotions, able to be disgustingly romantic one moment, then completely fly off the handle the next. He tried to control every aspect of Crocodile’s life (as much as one can control him, anyway).
But every time Crocodile was about to cut him off for good, Doffy would lovebomb him again and pull him back into the cycle. Promising "I'm a changed man" and "I love you so much it makes me do crazy things."
When Crocodile finally broke it off, Doffy knew he was crawling right into Mihawk's arms. Bonus points if the split happened when all 3 men were still Warlords and Doffy had to watch Mihawk steal his Wani.
And for Mishanks, it's still unhealthy but not to that degree. Shanks is a leaver. He'll stick around for a few days, two weeks max. And then he leaves for months. Every time he comes back with his tail between his legs and swears he's back for good. But whenever it's Mihawk who has to leave, Shanks gets dismissive and angry, asking if Mihawk even loves him. He's projecting. They're open (because pirates) but any time Shanks finds out Mihawk slept with another man, he tracks the guy down and kills him. But whenever Shanks sleeps with someone else, he insists that "A man has needs" and "You're not always around", projecting once again.
He wants Mihawk fully committed to him, but he can't commit the same way, regardless of how much he loves Mihawk. Mihawk put up with it for a while because he too was in love. Eventually, Shanks words lost their meaning.
The emperor went to kiss his swordsman one day, and Mihawk just pushed him away with a stern glare. He got the message: it's over. Doesn't mean he's over it, and neither of them probably will ever be fully over it.
Crocodile and Mihawk probably fall into bed together first, both just horny and coming off of draining relationships desperate for some kind of affection, but of course they'll never admit that.
They find the two of them intertwine most pleasingly. They have similar wants and wishes, they hate the same people, they both just want to drink and be left alone with their respective hobbies and enjoy quiet cohabitation more than Shanks and Doffy's desires to fill every silence.
And they're honest about their intentions. Crocodile doesn't mind when Mihawk is away on missions because he knows he will always come back and won't have thought of anyone but Crocodile the whole time. Mihawk can count on Crocodile to be there when he returns, usually sitting at the same exact desk.
Crocodile is possessive, but he knows no one will ever truly "own" Dracule Mihawk. Mihawk has Crocodile wrapped around his pretty finger, but has no desire to use him for any nefarious deeds.
They're what the other needed. Devoted. Loving. Reliable. Realistic. Whole.
And then they get married and live happily ever after or whatever.
🐊: Huh? Is he complaining that I’m not giving enough for household expenses?
How should I put it? I just feel like Mihawk has this theater kid vibe, occasionally belting out songs for his own amusement (actually, it's just me using him to practice drawing anatomy 😂
At first, Croc didn't quite get it, but after becoming an old married couple, it just turned into their little intimate fun ~
Not gonna clean up this sketch, it’s just practice after all
Kid/Law/Killer but in the way that Kid and Killer are long-time partners (platonically, romantically, and so very sexually) and can't live without each other while Law is the hot twink Kid becomes enamored with.
He was so nervous about telling Killer about his crush on Law. They've had threesomes and moresomes with other people, but that was just sex and everyone involved knew that.
But it's different with Law. Of course, Kid wants to screw him six ways to Saturday, but he also wants to hold him and cook for him and kiss under the light of the stars and all that lovey dovey bullshit. He's never felt this way about anyone but Killer.
Eventually, he works his way up to telling Kil about the crush, doing it in tears (but he'll never admit it) because he feels like he's betraying years of their relationship by loving another.
Killer just looks at him (sans mask) and says something along the lines of,
"I know that. Did you think you were hiding it? You were moaning his name in your sleep just a few days ago."
Killer doesn't feel betrayed. He knows the deepest parts of Kid's heart and soul belong to him and they'll always be together in a way no one else could ever break up.
So he tells Kid to go for it; charm that little goth. Law is not really Kil's type but he'd still fuck him.
The arrangement works out to Killer and Law both dating Kid, but not each other. Even though they still fuck all three. Kid has 1on1 dates with Killer and Law separately, but they go out as a threesome often as well.
Law's content with the setup. He gets taken on dates, sleeps in the warmest bed he's ever felt, eats like a king thanks to Killer, and has two massive, bara dudes at his disposal at all times.
Two pairs of big tits, two (well, 1½) pairs of muscley arms, and two huge coc--
In a modern AU, following a very public divorce, Crocodile would tweet something like "Imagine being 10ft tall and a bottom. Just big and greedy." then turn his phone off.
