OJ knows how to tame horses. He’s known for his whole life.
What was going through OJ Haywood's mind during the chase scene.
Young Soul Struggling To Be Loved
Summary:
"Hey, old geezer?" "Hmm..?" “Was it good that I was born?” “Well, you…you will understand that one day as long as you live.”
Ace searched for the answer. He didn't realize it... Left so many broken hearts... So many uncompleted stories... A chance for love...
Notes:
I have no idea if this will be one long one-shot or have chapters. Also when will ı update who knows but let's just introduce this. I won't include childhood moments because it will be another side story. hope you enjoy
Trailer
"What if Roger had a son?"
*** “I've had enough of Ace already! I think it would be better if he went somewhere and died. Then we could tell Garp that it was an accident. This is what they mean when they say that the devil's child has a devil's hair. He is the devil's child. Imagine what would have happened if the government had found out! What do you think would happen to us?"
*** "Hey, old geezer?" "Hmm..?" “Was it good that I was born?” “Well, you…you will understand that one day as long as you live.”
*** "Thank you…"
Ace looked at Luffy, who was barely holding back his tears. This boy hadn't told them where his and Sabo's treasure was, no matter what they did to him. Maybe he is stro...
“For saving me…”
He started crying again. How frustrating.
"You!" “Hey, hey calm down. He's just thanking us.” “Anyway, why didn't you tell them in the first place anyway?! They kill everyone without separate women and children!” “If I had told… you would never have been my friend.” “This is better than dying though, isn't it? And why do you want to be my friend so persistently?! "Because…" "Why did you follow me here, after everything I've put you through?" “Because… BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE OTHER! I CAN NOT GO BACK TO WINDMILL VILLAGE BECAUSE I HATE THESE MOUNTAIN BANDITS! IF I DID NOT FOLLOW YOU, I WOULD BE COMPLETELY ALONE! BEING ALONE HURTS ME MUCH MORE THAN INJURY!” "Your parents?" “Just my grandfather, no one else.” "It's not bad when I'm here, is it?" "Yes." "Is it bad that I am not here?" "Yes."
At that moment, Ace remembered wandering all over town searching for answers.
"What if Roger had a son?" “It would be so bad if it did, hahaha! He would be a demon that doesn't deserve to be born or live!”
Luffy… Sabo… I am alive.
"I understand."
*** “And from today on we are… we are brothers!”
They toasted three.
*** “Ace! Luffy! One day the three of us will sail to the sea. We will leave this country and be free!”
Sabo was dead. The world took Sabo from Ace and Luffy. They had lost their brothers and could not even take revenge. They were still too weak.
"Hey! How long do you intend to whine?!”
Ace sighed as Luffy hugged his hat even tighter.
“All the treasure we hid in the forest is gone. Maybe it was stolen by pirates, maybe the army found it. I do not know. But it doesn't matter anymore. It was the resource for me and Sabo's pirate ship. Sabo didn't use it. I won't be using either. There's no point in collecting treasure if we can't own it." “A-ace… I… I want to be a lot stronger. I want to be stronger, more, more, more, and much more! So I can protect everyone I care about! And I will never lose anyone again! So… Please… Ace… Please don’t die…” “Don't be stupid! You should be more worried about yourself than me! You are much weaker than me! Shut up and listen to me Luffy! Do not forget! I will never die!” "Yeah…" “Sabo wanted that too… That's why I promised! I will never die! There's no way I'm going to die and leave my weakling brother like you behind!” "Yeah..." “I am not very smart. So I don't know what killed Sabo. But whatever it was, it was an obstacle to his freedom. Sabo died before he could win his freedom. We both had a toast with Sabo and we're alive! So listen carefully Luffy. We will live our lives without regrets!”
*** “I'm sorry to get you in trouble, but my ship has sunk. Can you help me?" “You are in the same situation as me!”
*** “Probably not a bad person. I bet! You're just exaggerating the situation! Nobody even remembers minor criminals. Actually, I don't think anyone will blame you for your father's crimes. If your father had been the king of pirates, it would have been different. You understand. After all, that man was the worst. I mean, I would even consider killing myself if that was the case. But your situation can't be that bad, can it? eh? Stop acting like the protagonist of a tragedy-"
Everyone was saying so. Except for those two...
“So… Wait… What is that face? You… you're kidding, right?! Roger? ROGER?! THE KING OF THE PIRATES?!”
Ace confirmed it.
*** “Don't die out there, Ace. Thank you."
He and Isuka were getting further and further away. Farther… Farther… The ship was not stopping. It couldn't stop.
“Should I have grabbed her hand?”
Ace muttered to himself. It swirled over and over in his head. He couldn't. He couldn't hold her hand. Not when he was a pirate who could turn into fire.
*** “This is your vivre card.” “Is that it?”
Ace took the paper from Yamato's hand. It looked like a normal piece of paper.
"So what? It's just a piece of paper.” "RIGHT! This piece of paper will one day bring us together again!” “Bring us together?”
Yamato tore off a piece of paper. He took it.
"Look."
The paper started coming towards Ace from Yamato's hand. As it was about to fall, Yamato caught it.
“Hey!” “Tawae a piece of it for someone you don't want to separate or want to see again someday.” "Okay. I will do so.”
So Ace started his boot with his fire. He looked at him as he walked away.
“Don't lose it!”
Then it started going again. He had to go back to his crew now. After a while:
“Ace!”
Hearing this, Ace turned his boot.
“Oh! Yamato!”
Yamato was running down the mountain. He finally stopped on a hill. He almost fell.
“Let's meet again one day! Ace!” “Hahahaha!!”
He then turned around and showed him the paper.
"Absolutely!"
*** He placed a bowl of food next to Ace.
"You! Why do you guys call that man father?"
Marco smiled at the young man who was pouting in front of him.
“Because that man calls us my sons. To everyone else but him, we're outcasts. This makes us happy. It's just a word but it makes us happy!”
Marco could see him struggling, eating away at his thoughts. He approached and collapsed next to him.
“How much longer do you plan to risk your life? Make your mind now! There's no way you can kill pops the way you are. Are you going to get off this ship and start all over again? Or will you agree to stay here and bear the mark of Whitebeard?
*** “Do you want me to be commander of the second division?” “We didn't have a commander for a long time. If it's you, no one will disagree." “Hmm…”
Ace then turned to Teach.
“You've been here a long time. Are you sure it's okay?" “Hahahaha! No problem, don't worry. I have no such ambitions. Go for it, Commander Ace!”
*** "Really? What a surprise! You don't act much like Roger." “He was your enemy. Don't you want to kick me off?" “It doesn't matter who the family is. Everyone is a child of the sea.”
*** “Hey, Ace! I found a strange-looking fruit!” “Oh! Isn't it a devil fruit?"
*** Thatch…
"If we let this get away with it, Thatch's soul won't rest in peace!" “Ace! No problem. Just this once. I have a weird feeling.
Ace still couldn't ignore it. He went after him…
***
One article in the newspaper stood out more than the others:
“Fire-fist Ace got caught!”
*** Why… Why… Why are you fighting for me? Why are you dying for me? Wait… Please… I beg you… It's all my fault. I didn't listen. Please… Stop now!
***
“I have no sympathy for criminals but… My family is different… So, now… What should I do? Damn it, Ace! Why couldn't you live as I said?"
*** “Come on Luffy!!!! You and I are pirates! You have to roam the sea however you want! I have my own adventure! I have my own friends! You have no right to get in my way! Do you think I would let a weakling person like you come to my rescue?! It would be so humiliating! Come back Luffy! Why did you even come?!”
Please Luffy… I don't want to take you with me. My fault.
"I! I AM YOUR BROTHER!” *** “I wouldn't have the will to live if I didn't have a troublesome little brother like you and Sabo… Ah, right… If you see Dadan one day, say hi to me. I miss even a woman like her because I can see death at my bedside.” "AS I SAID! YOU WILL NOT DIE!-" “I want to stay for one reason only. It is wanting to see your dream come true… But… I am sure you can! Because you are my brother! As we promised that day… I have no regrets… in my life…” "Lie! DO NOT LIE!" “I'm not saying. I have a feeling it's not always fame that I want. Did I deserve to be born? What I wanted was the answer to this question. Now… I don't even have the energy to raise my voice for everyone to hear. What I'm about to say next… Can you pass it on to them? Pops! Everybody! And you Luffy! Thank you... A useless person like me… with disgusting blood running through my veins… for loving me…

Weathering an Endless Tide (ao3)
Iwaizumi catches glimpses of the endless sea to his left as he drives, feeling an endless amount of love for the boy in the passenger's seat with the wind tousling his hair.
Over the years his cheeks have been sun-kissed under the Argentinian sun, and freckles bloom like wildflowers across the apples of his cheeks. He stands taller, his words are surer, and he doesn’t hesitate to push past fleeting what-if touches of scared high school boys.
Heat burns between their hands like a promise, one that pools such intense love and affection in the pit of his stomach until it sometimes feels like too much yet never enough.
Iwaizumi and Oikawa go to the beach, and Iwa falls even harder in love.

So in falsettos I noticed something
Whizzer and Marvin share little to no display of explicit intimacy through all of act two as opposed to act one where they constantly were. This was a bit weird until I realised why. In act one their relationship was purely based on lust. However in act two their relationship was based on mutual understanding and feelings for one another.

i’d do it in a heartbeat for this universe, for you my fam.
Welcome to day one of December an upload a day spree! Day one consists of a little labor of love where I’m going to do a little bit of character study on the thirteenth Doctor spread out over three different videos with the same song but slightly different. And the first part is family! if you wanna know my exact reasoning and ideas behind why i edit the way i edit, go check out the description of this video on youtube, it’s lengthy, but it might give you an insight as to why i consider the way the Doc calls team tardis fam, as more then just some cutesy nickname. These uploads are not just gonna be on this channel either! it’s a mishmash of fan edits and stuff from my me in front of the camera channel as well, check out the link to find all the deeds :)

Bell’s the kind of guy that does shitty things that he knows are wrong and then apologizes about it loudly and with convincing remorse instead of, you know, not doing the shitty thing in the first place.
