Cross Guild Headcanon: How they react to bugs/insects
Mihawk:
Totally unafraid of whatever bug he finds. Venomous, poisonous, lots of legs, no legs, winged, flightless; it doesn’t matter, he hasn’t met a bug scarier than a person
Will pick up random bugs and examine them, absolutely unconcerned about stingers or pincers
Does his own taxidermy and has an extensive collection of strange insects he’s found on his travels.
Whatever bugs he doesn’t take home he sketches and writes about in meticulously kept journals
His favorite bug: the camel spider- vicious, unloved, solitary
Crocodile:
Doesn’t really think about bugs and is unbothered by them.
Except for scorpions and tarantulas. If he sees a tarantula on the wall or in the corner of the room he’s leaving. And then quietly sending someone else to get rid of it.
He will deny this fear. “Would a man who keeps man-eating beasts be afraid of some small… many legged…venomous creature?” Yes. He would.
Had an unbelievably uncomfortable meeting with Mihawk one time where he met at Mihawk’s castle and the whole wall was lined with scorpions. They never met at Mihawk’s place again.
His favorite bug: a dragonfly - eye-catching, quick, born from the water and lives in the light
Buggy:
Does not like any bug! If that thing flies at him, if it has too many legs, or looks pointy he will freak out.
He doesn’t even like the most acceptable kinds of insects; ladybugs, butterflies, caterpillars, etc. It doesn’t matter how harmless, if they have too many legs, he will not go near them.
When he was a kid, he used to collect them with Shanks. But he had a traumatic experience when he brought a spider back into their room and it released an egg sac that had hundreds of little spider babies.
After that incident, his relationship with bugs continued downhill. The straw that broke the camel spider’s back was visiting an island with humongous insects and getting lost in the jungle for hours with wasps chasing him.
His favorite bug: If he was forced to choose, probably a butterfly (but at a distance!)- colorful, flashy, can’t technically hurt him
Save the Tiger Unquoted; The Lost Cat and The Weakened Fox
(Two in one day? Yeah, I'm coping hard this death hit me like a TRUCK. And I need more coping for this so here's Harada doing something not very nice during this trial so spoiler warning for this particular quote; TW: Su**ide attempt, Su**idal thoughts, and depression.)
(Okazaki Hanano, Third POV (Again!))
She didn't know how she ended up there...
Hanano had been pacing the halls, the Fox mask in her hands feeling the weight of the thousands of souls she'd condemned. She didn't even realize she could hear anything outside of herself...
But as she wandered the dorms, caressing the pristine Ceramic Mask in her hands... She heard it... CHoking... Strangling... Breathlessness...
Her head snapped, the room on her left. What room was that again? Didn't matter. She burst the door open.
Keizou... Hanging from the ceiling, gasping for air...
Sawa, clawing at his legs, trying to get him down...
Her mind shut off, she didn't know why she was trying to save him, but she kept going anyways.
She grabbed at the rope, diggint into it with her nails as she loosened it. By the time she finally got underneath the knot, Harada was unconcious. She managed to find a slip, and the Zoologist slipped through the hole and collapsed on the bed.
Hanano was fast. She grabbed the body and laid him out on the floor. She remembered her CPR. Chest Comprssion, Break The ribs, Mouth to Mouth. Everything was rushing through her head all at once. But she just did as she could remember. And in the back of her mind, she begged... She begged for Keizou to be alive... She begged that Keizou wasn't going to leave them too... She begged... That Harada wouldn't leave her alone again...
Maybe she was selfish... Maybe she should've let Harada died. Let Him go out how he wanted to go out... But Hanano didn't care... Ran... Watari... Hanami... They wouldn't have wanted him to die... And that was enough for Okazaki.
Eventually, he gasps, coughing and sputtering as Hanano finally stops pushing. She lays back, panting, just now noticing the tears streaming down her face... As everything comes rushing back to her, and she can finally hear again...
"WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!" Harada cries.
Okazaki growls. "Oh I'm sorry! I just saved your life, you fucking prick!" She snaps back.
"Why do you suddenly care?! I thought you'd be glad more of us fucking idiots are dying!"
"Don't you dare try putting words in my mouth, you hypocrite!"
"Why didn't you just leave me to die?!"
"Because Hama wouldn't have wanted you to be a fucking coward and leave Chiba alone in this world!"
"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HAMA WANTS! HAMA IS FUCKING DEAD!!!"
"Oh so now you choose to ignore the wishes of the dead when it's convenient?! Real classy there Keizou!"
"CAN YOU SHUT UP FOR 5 FUCKING SECONDS?!?!"
"NOT WHEN I ALMOST JUST LOST ANOTHER FUCKING PERSON I CARE ABOUT!!!"
...
Harada's voice shakes, and his face goes from anger to despair in a matter of seconds... He breathes heavily, tears pouring from his eyes as Okazaki sits across from him.
"What's the point?... There's no reason... for me to continue... If he's not here with me..." Harada sobs.
Okazaki sighs, her own breath growing shaky as she struggles to contain her sobs.
"Because... They want us to live... If we have nothing else in this world... If we are worth less than the fucking dirt they're buried underneath... THat is the only reason we need to live... Because they would want us... to live..."
Harada's inhales, barely able to contain his tears for even a brief moment... And then... He hugs her...
Okazaki doesn't even realize it at first, but she feels his arms wrap around her, his face buried into her sleeve as he quietly sobs and coughs and makes an absolute mess...
Had Okazaki been the same as she was less than 3 hours ago... She would've pushed him off... Punched him... Maybe even gone as far as to mock him...
But Hanano... She embraced him back... For the first time in what felt like forever, she embraced Harada, laying her head on his shoulders as she too let her tears run free... She squeezes her eyes shut and holds him tighter, as if clinging onto him and holding him in this life...
...She wouldn't let it happen... She wouldn't let another soul die because of what she did...
Hey there new to the opm fandom and wanted to know why people ship saigenos? honestly I was a bit shocked to find out that it is a popular ship. I was not expecting people to be okay with placing a 19 and 25 year old together romantically. Is there a reason for this that I’m missing? Of course it’s a personal opinion but if I knew someone who was 19 dating a 25 year old I would be concerned for the basis of their relationship.
Welcome to the fandom!
The short answer: they can and they want to. No further reason is required. Fandom is where people play with ideas and characters in a way that may very well have no business in the canon. No justification is necessary.
Likewise, you owe no one an explanation as to why you don't care for it.
The only things fans owe other fans are good tags, so people who aren't into things can filter them out.
On Tumblr, I highly recommend using the filter (go to Settings, Filter) and you can filter by tags and/or by content.
Some ships commonly seen around here and their tags:
Genos x Saitama (and vice-versa): #genosai, #saigenos
Boros x Saitama: #borosai, #saiboros
Garou x Metal Bat: #Batarou
Saitama x King: #Kingsai, #Saiking
Tatsumaki x King: #Tatsuking
Character x oc: Usually tagged as such
If a specific person's content is particularly troublesome to you, block them. It's not an offensive action here; you're responsible for curating your fandom experience.
This is a random question, but which characters in vnc would be watching Barbie or Oppenheimer in the Barbenhiemer trend? Let's just imagine it's a Modern AU so that we can include deceased characters in Canon.
Sorry anon but I am not the person to make this meme for you lmao
okay but can we talk about the contrast, the god damn narrative foil, that is Melli and Iscan?
on the one hand you have Melli. we’ve learned that he used to be shy, but decided to change for the sake of supporting Adaman. he comes off to me as someone who needs to be helpful. who can’t stand if it feels like he’s being pushed aside. Isn’t useful anymore
Melli, who is warden to a Pokémon known for their self destructive behavior. the signature move of Hisuian Electrode is a recoil move, after all, and Lord Electrode does know it in the rematch
then on the other hand, there’s Iscan. we weren’t told about his childhood, but he does come off as shy and anxious as an adult. he, too, is warden to a Pokémon known for recoil moves, as a Basculegion doesn’t come about without having subjected themself to a self damaging move, but without fainting from it. also of potential note is that Iscan is warden for a ride Pokémon, while Melli is warden for a noble Pokémon
Iscan, unlike Melli, is braver than he looks on the outside. he saved Palina’s life. he asked the player to bring back a Pokémon he’s so scared of, he can’t even say the name without fear, just so you could continue your quest. he’s in a relationship with someone from his rival clan, and only keeps it secret because she doesn’t want her name to sully his
these two came from the same clan. what the hell happened? all i know is that from what i can tell? Iscan is far more certain and secure in who he is than Melli is
Melli, who started using a mask, and perhaps never stopped. who caught a whiff of potentially not being seen as good enough twice (once when there was a meeting about his lord that he wasn’t invited to, and once when he saw that a child was being called on for assistance with finding the ore needed while he was told to keep doing what he had seemingly failed at previously) and inserted himself into the situation, insisting that he could help. that he was amazing and great and could not fail (and yet got in your way when you first met him and insisted on being “moral support” later on, and then a gift of candy truffles when you further prove your worth)
i dunno i just think it’s interesting
i mean Melli eventually asks for help with the pesky flying croissant but like, that’s post game, after the festival, when things have calmed down a bit more
