It Takes You Forever To Realize But Every Time You Try To Talk To Shanks You Interrupt Him In The Middle

Imagine meeting your soul mate Shanks

Shanks: *staring at his soulmate mark on his arm while drinking alone at the bar on the other side of the room*

Rockstar: what's the boss doing?

Benn: *glances at Shanks* he's staring at his soul mate mark

Rockstar: he has one!

Benn: yes, keep it down, he usually hides it. He doesn't want them getting hurt or killed because of him. He usually stares at it when he's drunk and wants to be alone, dunno why though.

Shanks: *stares at it because he's dreaming of you and mourning a future he feels he'll never have with you *

Later that evening

Benn: *walking through town when he sees you and spots your soul mate mark* no fucking way

You: *walks past him on your way home*

Benn: *follows you home and waits a while to make sure you aren't leaving before heading back to the bar*

At the bar

Benn: *smacks Shanks* get up and come with me

Shanks: *squints at Benn in irrigation* what's up

Benn: *pulls him out of his seat and out the door* I have a gift for you

Shanks: a gift? Aren't you a gift enough?

Benn: *rolls his eyes* glad to see you aren't loosing your touch boss, but you might want to save it for later, you may need it.

Outside of your house

Benn: stand still

Shanks: what why?

Benn: *starts straightening Shanks up to make him look presentable and rolling up his sleeve*

Shanks: what? Hey, don't do that, someone might see.

Benn: *takes Shanks by the shoulders and pointedly looks him in the eyes* you're just going to have to trust me on this, and for fucks sake stand up straight *rings your door bell and abandons shanks there*

Shanks: hey what are you doing?

You: *opens your door in your PJs holding a mug of hot chocolate* can I help you?

Shanks: *rubs the back of his head* haha, you see my friend shoved me up here and told me to trust him, so I don't really know what I'm doing here.

You: *you drop your mug and your jaw when you see his mark*

Shanks: are you okay?

You: *shows him your mark*

Shanks: oh my... We're-

You: it would seem so

Shanks: ... What now?

You: I don't know.

Benn: *yells from across the street* set up a date!

Shanks: *now really flustered* a date!

You: how about tomorrow we have lunch at the blue moon cafe in town square?

Shanks: huh

Benn: he'll be there! Come here you *grabs Shanks's shirt collar and drags him away*

“I’m that hopless romantic with a sex drive through the roof typa person.”

— c. z.

“Odin is the highest and the oldest of all the gods. 

He gave an eye for wisdom. He hung from the world-tree, Yggdrasil for nine nights. He has many names. He travels from place to place in disguise, to see the world as people see it. 

He has two ravens, whom he calls Huginn and Muninn which mean “thought” and “memory”. They whisper into his ears. 

When he sits on his high throne at Hlidskjalf, he observes. Nothing can be hidden from him. 

He brought war into the world and if you survive in battle, it is with Odin’s grace. If you fall bravely in war the Valkyries, beautiful battlemaidens will collect your soul and bring you to where Odin waits for you in Valhalla, there you will drink and fight and feast and battle, with Odin as your leader.”

When a fanfic gets to the smut too fast

all I can say after reading Rough Day: AGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!! (in the best way possible)

AGGGGGGHHHHHJHH

Imagine Shanks saving you from hypothermia

You and Shanks: *get separated from the rest of the crew during a snow storm*

Shanks: *shielding his eyes from the snow and tries to yell over the howling wind* This storm is getting worse, get over here, we need to stick together. I don't want you getting lost!

You: *hears a crack under your feet* what was that!

Shanks: Fuck, we're wandered onto ice! Move very slowly, and grab my hand!

You: *falls through the ice when you reach for his outstretched hand*

Shanks: No! *Dives into the water after you, and pulls you from the icy depths and looks around* damn it, we need to find shelter!

You: Look over there, there's a cabin!

Shanks: Good eyes kid, let's get a moving. *Activates his armament haki, and wades through the snow and carries your frozen form in his arms*

When he gets you through the door

Shanks: *looks down and notices that your lips, nose, and fingertips are starting to get discolored from the cold, and your eyes are unfocused* oi oi, stay with me kid!

You: it's hot *starts to pull off your coat*

Shanks: *jumps into action and throws you onto the couch, and races to get a fire lit, breaking furniture to use as kindling*

You: *has already pulled off almost every article of wet clothing*

Shanks: *pulls his own clothing off and piles the cushions from the couch in front of the fire place* come ere you

You: *slaps his hands away* no it's too hot to cuddle.

Shanks: you little brat, fine, you leave me no other choice. *Fishes through a linen closet and pulls out a bunch of blankets. Most of which he uses to make a little nest, and one he wraps you up in like a burrito, and drags you to to the spot he prepared in front of the fire and gets on top of you. So you are trapped between him and a bunch of pillows.*

You: *struggles against him* Let me go, you big idiot.

Shanks: *gently bites your palm as you press your hand against his face*

You: *yanks your hand away and whines* get off of me you big jerk.

Shanks: I need you to trust me, when I say this really is in your best interest.

You: but

Shanks: Please

You: *sulks* fine

Shanks: atta girl *pulls off your underwear set and throws them over his shoulder as he gets comfortable on top of your shivering form.*

A few hours later

You: *wakes up feeling the drastic and uncomfortable difference between your cold body, and your sweltering surroundings, and opens your eyes in an unfamiliar place* hmm what happened?

Shanks: *lifts his head off your chest and looks down at you* finally awake, huh?

You: captain? Where are we?

Shanks: At an old hunting cabin, you fell through the ice and passed out.

You: what ice?

Shanks The ice of the frozen lake we accidentally stumbled on, but it's nothing to worry about. We'll reunite with the rest of the crew in a few days. They'll actually probably find us first... Anyway, how are you feeling? *Absentmindedly rubs his knuckles against your chest*

You: *gasps did you undress me?!

Shanks: *chuckles* didn't need to, practically couldn't get you to keep them on soon as I started building the fire. But they needed to come off anyway, they were wet, as were mine.

You: *realize what that means and is very self-conscious*

Shanks: *sees right through you.* You have nothing to worry about dear, you're beautiful, and I am not going to do anything without permission, at least nothing beyond keeping you warm.

You: ... You're heavy

Shanks: *snorts* Pouting was not the reaction I was expecting. *Hooks an arm under you and flips the two of you over, so you were resting on his chest.*

Two hours later

Shanks: I'm hungry.

You: I had some rations in pack, they should still be good if they didn't get wet.

Shanks: *slides out from under you and walks over to the couch where your clothes are, unabashed of his nudity.* Sweet, it's dry.

Benn: *bursts through the door* Boss!

Shanks: oh hey buddy

Benn: *sees his nude captain, and you, covering yourself by the fire,* I'm sorry, I'll come back later *slowly closes the door*

You: you're misreading the situation! Shanks go get him.

Shanks: *laughing too hard*

*Dyn near death covered in blood and sweat*

ok but that’s hot tho

LAP DANCE

Imagine the red-haired pirates thinking you're pregnant

You: *gags on nothing*

Benn: *cocks an eyebrow*

The next day

You: *retches*

Yassop: you good?

The day after

Lucky: breakfast is ready (y/n)!

You: *covers your mouth when you feel a wave of nausea hit you* oh no thank you

After a week of constant gagging and rejecting meals

You: *gags*

Benn: you okay, you've been gagging a lot lately.

You: yeah

Lime: you pregnant or something?

You: what! No, it's just eating is inconvenient, I gag when I have gone too long without food.

Lucky: But you've been rejecting meals!

You: I have a had time telling if I'm nauseous because haven't eaten or if I'm not hungry because I'm nauseous.

Yassop: what are you a cat?

You: shut up

Benn: wait, so last night when you were brushing your teeth?

You: oh no, that time I gagged on my toothbrush when I was cleaning my tongue

Yassop: so you have a sensitive gag reflex

You: no

Shanks: *not even looking up from his newspaper* yes they do, they gag on everything that isn't cock, thankfully *licks his thumb and turns the page*

You: not everything!

Shanks: sorry I forgot you don't choke on my fingers either, apologies love

Rockstar: *drunk out of his mind slumped down on the table next to shanks* why would you put your fingers in her mouth?

Shanks: when my cock is occupied in a different part of her

Lime: *stands up and points at you* you! You're taking a pregnancy test
