I've gotten incredibly lazy posting about fic and honestly can't remember if I've mentioned this story AT ALL on here outside replies or dms, but today's update just took it over 100k words, so without further ado-

Title: “Eenie Meenie Minie Moe”

Series: One Piece

Rating: 🔞 Explicit 🔞

Pairing(s): johnny/yosaku/zoro, luffy/zoro, nami & zoro, usopp/zoro, sanji & zoro, nami/vivi, vivi & zoro

Content tags: extremely explicit sex, several instances of which involves loss of virginity for someone; graphic description of transmasc/transfemme anatomy and super frequent discussion of transmasc pregnancy; omegaverse elements, including alpha/beta/omega & pack dynamics, heat/rut cycles, scent & bond-marking, knotting, etc etc etc; complicated relationships including friends to lovers and friends/crewmates/allies with benefits; partner-sharing and group sex; threat of sexual assault/forced bonding

Summary-

It hasn't been easy, being an unbonded omega who's been forced to rely on hunting bounties to support himself while searching for the man he needs to defeat to claim the title of World's Greatest Swordsman, but Zoro's never let it bother him. He's not about to let his body's demands become a stumbling block on his way to the top; he's got two hands, and if those aren't enough to deal with his sporadic heats, he's got two beta friends ready and willing to help him out.

When he's hit by a particularly intense bout of estrus while bedridden in the Cocoyashi Village clinic following the Straw Hat crew's victory over Arlong, however, his fellow bounty hunters realize the situation's beyond their control. And while he can't deny that their solution- to grab the next alpha to walk through the door and get their needy omega partner knotted on the spot- is well-intended, shit's just gotten complicated... because the guy they've grabbed also happens to be his new captain.

Now they're on their way to the Grand Line, for some reason Luffy left him unclaimed, and not only is he literally SURROUNDED by alphas... but apparently his stupid body wants ALL of them.

I know we talk a lot about the literacy crisis and the horrible anti-intellectualism happening rn but I think we need to talk more about how much of an entitlement complex the stupidest among us have developed

[onemillionwordsofcrap]

Hey there other peopless children did you know that dictionary.com is a hamndy damndy website you can KEEP OPEN ON ANOTHSR FUCKING TAB

[thetrekkiehasthephonebox]

the best fanfic is the one the author had fun writing actually.

[thetrekkiehasthephonebox]

the second best is the one the author used to work through some issues.

[mikkeneko]

the third best is the one the author wrote out of spite due to some really dogshit discourse going on in their fandom

[elliespectacular]

"you wouldn't want that in real life" yeah i know it's called playing pretend, try to keep up

[ahsoka-in-a-hood]

*walks up to a group of children playing raptor* you wouldn't want to be chased by raptors in real life, i say smugly with my vast knowledge as an Adult.

[space-feminist]

people who feel the need to chime in on posts about not supporting hp because of jkr with AND THE BOOKS ARE AWFUL AND HORRIBLY BIGOTED TOO are so completely missing the point it's insane. the content of harry potter does not MATTER!!!! if it was the most perfectly unproblematic piece of media ever it would still be supporting jkr and her bigotry and that would be enough of a reason not to support it!!!! all you're doing is continuing to treat harry potter as something worthy of discussion instead of trying to kill its cultural relevance!!!! you are not an ally and i do not trust you!!!!

[space-feminist]

good omens is by and large a very good book with positive messages but i stopped posting about it after the neil gaiman stuff came to light bc the quality of the content doesn't fucking matter when we're talking about materially supporting people who wield their power & influence to harm others

[sewercentipede]

reading the wiki for the american psycho movie every single thing it’s saying about christian bale has me in tears …….. he literally wanted the role so bad he got that buff in two weeks, rejected every other offer for 9 months while the producers tried to get dicaprio to be patrick bateman bc bale knew dicaprio would chicken out, went to dinner with the director and the guy who wrote the novel IN CHARACTER apparently scaring the shit out of the novelist, took the role for $50k, and then made all his costars think he was a giant freak bc he never fucking broke character, and APARENTLY LITERALLY HAS CONTROL OVER HIS SWEAT GLANDS AND USED THIS IN THE BUSINESS CARD SCENE

[sewercentipede]

ok thanks for the info wiki

[fuckboysecurityllc]

Hey Paul!

[vevader3]

It brings me comfort that, for a brief moment, Jared Leto genuinely believed Christian Bale was going to kill him with an axe

[little-grey-dowitcher]

So many people never learned to live with harmless discomfort at any point in their lives and holy fuck does it show

[little-grey-dowitcher]

“But I wanna know!” You’re gonna have to learn to be ok with not knowing some things, especially when those things involve personal details about strangers that they’re not comfortable sharing.

“But it’s confusing!” If you take the time to educate yourself it’ll no longer be confusing. Otherwise you’re just gonna have to learn to be ok with being confused.

“But it’s weird!” You probably do weird things all the time. Everyone does weird things sometimes. Life goes on.

“But it scares me!” Is it hurting you? No? You’ll be fine. Being scared and being harmed are not always the same thing. Learn to tell the difference and then act accordingly.

“But I want it!” And I want a million dollars. You can’t always get what you want.

[breelandwalker]

Addendum:

"But it makes me uncomfortable!" The world is an uncomfortable place and complete strangers are not required to fix that for you. Learning to endure harmless discomfort is a life skill for existing in public.

"But I don't like it!" There's plenty of things in the world and not all of them are fun or enjoyable or For You. This applies to everyone and we all have to deal with that in a mature fashion.

"But I want to do the thing!" You can't always do what you want. Most people learn this in preschool. Wanting something does not entitle you to be inconsiderate to the people around you.

genuinely I'm so sick of people wanting all fiction to be ethical. can we all just get a little gross with it. the point of fiction is that it's not real. we can be unethical in fiction; same goes with being perverted with fiction, being unrealistic with fiction, and being grotesque with fiction. not all fiction has to be ethical, not every character has to be ethical, and that's okay. can we stop with the puritanism. be gross. be unrealistic. be whatever. if I don't like it it's not my business as long as we're all clear that its fictional.

[notemily]

via ered.bsky.social, the only kinds of unethical fiction:

people in the replies are going "what about books glorifying unethical things" and "what if it's propaganda" and you, my friends, are who this comic was made for

[fairyinthetrees]

going with the flow in a face down in a river kinda way

[deshiroarts]

Sun god and same silly lil guy

[thediamondarcher]

oh I'm sorry this AROACE character exists and you can't ship them with any other character because they're AROACE, must be so sad for you

[trans-tsukihanemon]

If ONLY there was a way to write a compelling character duo that doesn't involve romance or sex... Oh the horror!

[kanna-ophelia]

Oh my fucking God the comments. 2026 and you still have Puriteens going "you can't write THAT you naughty person!"

Thank God for AO3, where you can write a character who has a romantic heart and has fucked their way through half the cast as aroace, the straightest of straights as raging lesbians, and anything else your heart desires. And puriteens can put their big girl panties on and write their own stuff.

[kanna-ophelia]

And for extra context, a little dear who had decided a character I wrote harmless romantic smut about was aroace was high on their self-righteousness enough to send me a death threat on AO3. Over a story. Antis are the worst and should not be allowed to try and control discourse.

(They lost their account, if you're wondering)

[laurenthemself]

I was wondering, actually, because I read 'death threat on AO3' and went 'oh HELL no' out loud. I'm glad that the terms of service were enforced. AO3 doesn't have such a comprehensive TOS explaining what is and isn't okay for people to just ignore it like that.

[homunculus-argument]

God will see you at the lowest point of your life, and say "what the fuck I thought I killed that thing." But you skitter too fast and you are too creepy.

[writingdose]

a million times this. “I don’t like these xyz fics” then don’t read them. THEY ARE NOT FOR YOU!!!!!!! no one forces you to read anything you don’t want to read. no one forces you to consume art you don’t enjoy. it’s so easy to click that mute or block button. instead of insulting fanfics or fan art for not fitting your personal liking, either choose something that does fit your personal liking, or write the fic you want to read yourself / draw the art you want to consume yourself.

fanfic writers and fan artists create as THEIR hobbies. they create for themselves and their own enjoyment. they don’t create for strangers’ approval

[tapacamino]

This website: "It says a lot about a person if they write or make art about dark, horrific things. It says what they're like in real life. Hiding in plain sight."

Junji Ito:

[prokopetz]

"This fic is literally just porn, why do you care about the quality of the editing" unfortunately, both my brain and my dick have strong opinions about verb tenses.

[eternally-conflicted]

You severely underestimate the effect of typos and incorrect tenses on my libido

[bookwyrminspiration]

sometimes a theme recurs in your work without your permission. and sometimes it reaches a threshold where you're like. well now i think this is saying something about me against my will. don't know what though
