The First Supper

[mmkin]

(This convo is written in such a way that either woman could be saying it)

"He's a real bastard but oh so damn sexy..."

Swoon. Sigh.

"That nose... that grin... these muscles..."

"An asshole like him shouldn't be so attractive."

"But he totally is. Especially when he has these big, strong arms wrapped around you..."

"Not to mention he has two..."

"He can wear you out but it's still worth it."

"Fuck it. Shioyaki, would you make us some more drinks please."

I adore @saraptor-art Arlong/One Piece fanfic, Sea Salt and Sun and sometimes we talk about our shared love for Arlong and other one piece stuff. (I also adore her fanart, if you're an OP and fishman fan, check her out)

So here's our two characters (Biri and Yolande) smping over Arlong because god damn, it's Arlong.

Sea of Stars Pain Headcanons

Zale: He has a very low pain threshold but a high tolerance. Winces, shouts, squirms when his wounds are being tended to. Will cry and scream during battle and rush forward to fight until he passes out, and gets very clingy when he’s hurt. Emotional pain, Zale tends to isolate and distract himself, usually unsuccessfully.

Valere: She manages her pain well in battle, though can still be a bit reckless, like Zale. Knows when would be better to back off than pick a fight, and prefers to nurse her wounds in solitude. Tends to meditate on emotional pain and mull over her thoughts.

Garl: He’s a big, strong guy who hides his physical pain and acts like he’s okay, when he really really isn’t. Can work through physical pain and tends to suppress emotional pain, hiding it deliberately for the sake of his friends.

Seraï: Her cyborg biology is unique in that her mechanical parts don’t feel any pain, but her flesh parts feel it the way humans do (The junctions between flesh and metal are excruciating when injured). She tends to ignore pain and often gets ahead of herself with how much she can handle. Like Garl, she suppresses her emotional pain and pretends things are okay.

Teaks: Has had her fair share of ouch from traveling and is relatively sturdy, though she tends to avoid conflict. Knows a bit of basic medical care because she travels by herself. She tries to drown out her emotional pain, burying her nose into her studies or running off for another adventure.

Resh'an: He has gotten so used to physical pain that he doesn’t care anymore and doesn’t really even feel it. Arm chopped off? Alchemy can fix that. Crushed by a boulder? Not for long with the Elixir. He simply doesn’t care. Resh’an tends to run away from his emotional pain rather than confront it, hiding away for decades at a time.

Aephorul: As a consequence of flesh alchemy, Aephorul can control how much pain or sensation he can feel at any given time. He’ll tamp it down before a battle or confrontation.. or turn it up, if he feels he deserves it. He broods through emotional pain, and takes it out on those around him.

B'st: He feels none of it because of his glass body, and as such has very little regard for himself in dangerous situations. However, emotional pain strikes him hard and he’ll often dissociate when it happens.

Yolande: As the one who picks fights and sometimes gets carried away, Yolande has learned to manage pain for the sake of keeping her crew safe. She grows serious when she’s got emotional pain, and it’s easy to tell.

Valtraid: Doesn’t have the highest pain tolerance, but he’ll grit his teeth and bear physical pain with a smile to try and lighten up the feelings of worry that go with. He’s good at hiding his emotional pain and doesn’t easily admit it when he is.

Keenathan: From losing his leg to nearly cutting out his own eyes, Keenathan is no stranger to pain and has a very high tolerance for it. He bears emotional pain as silently as physical pain, if only to be more clingy to those around him.

Welcome to Atrea (spoilers)

First, as part of a good step in Elemental Dissonance's reimagining, we received a proper introduction with the Atealan trainers. Then, we received brilliantly detailed background exposition for the Ateala and their relationship with Wargoth. And now, my dears, we have ourselves a true introduction to Atrea itself.

I like how it becomes immediately obvious that Nirios and Etaos are going to take center stage for this quest as far as characterization goes. Prior to this release, a good portion of the narrative had a huge focus on Alz'ein which makes sense given that she tends to be the most expressive and outspoken member of the main inner circle of important atealan characters. As such, it's only logical that we tend to see much more clearly how this whole tragedy has affected her more than the others. With Starlit Sandsea, we were finally able to get a glimpse as to what the loss of Somorah meant for Isiri and now we can see how that loss translates for the cryptic duo.

In Nirios' case, you can see what the conflict has done to his sense of security, that constant need to be prepared for the next catastrophe to take place. It reminds me all too well of stories of those living in war-torn nations never feeling like they can safely sleep at night out of fear that the next bomb could drop at any moment. It is good to see then that finding a familiar face among what remains of their people is enough to brighten his mood, if only for the briefest of moments.

Also proper Yolande introduction!!! We're on a roll!

Now as for Etaos, he hasn't really presented much to latch on to yet at least not fully. Out of all the trainers, Etaos always seemed the most easygoing of the lot. Not the type to let most things get him bogged down in life. So, it makes sense to me that when things have finally gotten quiet that the main thing on his mind is to focus on the little things that bring joy instead of the heavier stuff that can't be immediately addressed yet like whether the other Unael made it off Somorah. Still, I do wonder if there anything more pulling at him at the moment.

Additionally...

I'd kill for my alts to have this hairdo.

At the end of it all though,

We got ourselves a rising fire to put out.

Summary:

They were in Brisk for the anniversary of saving both worlds, and they’d all had inadvertently started a tradition of giving small gifts to each other when they met up to celebrate the win. The gifts were never really anything too big, just little items that could be useful, or small trinkets and other knickknacks. Things that reminded them of each other.
