So I Saw Some Posts About How Izuku Too Easily Overcome His Quirklessness After Receiving Ofa, Right?

aizawa: english makes no sense

yamada: yeah? and why is that?

aizawa: look it's 'i dance' right?

yamada: yeah..?

aizawa: and 'you dance'

yamada: right?

aizawa, gesturing to dabbing shirakumo: then why the hell HE dances!? IS HE DANCING MORE THEN ME!?

An animatic for my beloved @blackholeca and her fic Pied Piper!!

Reading the fic and being a part of the discord server and the community has been a blast, and I’ve made some really good friends. I appreciate y’all. Enjoy!

(Edit: Apparently my software messed with the timing D: )

they will never make me disown you sparkly french boi 😔✊

jump.

I look at Sabo and think that maybe Dragon not raising Luffy is for the best

'It's not my fingers. It's my claws'

bro raised furry

Ok but Dragon becoming a micro internet celebrity and gets asked to be on Thrist Tweets (is Buzzfeed run by Big News Morgans in the Modern AU? Much to think about) and he goes because he gets to plug all the important issues he’s fighting for and totally not because as filthy as the comments are they make him a little flattered (also plus he gets to do the puppy interview and he’s not passing that chance up).

“I know Crocodile can fight but can he win??” -“Yes he can, he’s very strong. You shouldn’t be fighting for people anyway.”

*picture of Dragon exiting courthouse*

“Does he do pro-bono work as in can he put bone in me 🤤🤤” - “I do in fact do pro-bono work..the regular kind.”

“Mmmfgh.” - “I don’t know what that means and I’m a little scared to say it out loud so let’s skip it huh?”

“I need to be his pretty little assistant so he can call me “good girl” when I bring him his coffee.” - “I’m pretty sure someone’s written something like that on AO3 by now. Do donate to them if you can, they’re a very important site.”

“So what are the chances he opened an OnlyFans at some point while he was retired? Asking for a friend.” - “Not zero. Sex work is work and it pays pretty damn well. Make of that what you and your friend will...”

“I just know he eats it right.” - “I’m southern, I eat a lot of things well and often.”

“I could not be the presiding judge with him in the room and still be expected to do my job correctly. Oh, you want this person to get locked up or pay a fine? Whatever you say, Daddy.” - “I mean, sweet-talking the judge and jury is the job in a nutshell, but thank you for recognizing the dangers of courtroom bias.”

“I was on jury for a divorce court case he was working, once. It was a sign from god that my man ain’t shit.” - “I would suggest couples counseling with a licensed therapist before doing anything drastic, but if your man is hard-lining against it with little to no explaination? That means he doesn’t want to work with you, and you need to get the hell outta that relationship. Speaking from personal experience.”

“Monkey D Dragon returning to the courtroom after twenty years with the meanest glow up and a face tat is wild work. Where’s my strap? I need to bend him over his own desk.” - “Did my husband write this? I feel like my husband wrote this.”

One of my favorite Sanji headcanon's is that he has the best sea legs of the crew, tied w/ Jimbei after he joins. But he also absolutely has the WORST land legs when they make landfall.

I think this because, prior to Kamabakka, the longest period he spent on actual land seems to be starving on a rock with Zeff.

I totally buy that Germa likely had some sort of stabilizing tech on their snails, definitely in medical and engineering areas. You need a measure of stability in your evil laboratory.

But any ocean-going vessel does need to actually move with the sea. Otherwise, it won't move at all. So, I think other areas were less stabilized.

Thus, Sanji went from weird snails that swim the seas, to cruise ship, to trauma rock, to a restaurant ship before joining the Straw Hats. Moving on a ship likely feels more natural to him than on land.

I think he has trained himself to adjust pretty quickly, as a necessity, and also because the Mosshead definitely would call it out. But even still, his first few steps on any island are not as graceful as his usual stride.

Okay, ramble done.

me: i have no fear

my brain: okay but what if izuku's meaning for 'becoming the greatest hero' is an action of defeating the greatest evil and he and part of class won't make it alive? what if manga was just his memories before death?

me: i have 1 (one) fear

So if Rocks stays with Whitebeard after Marineford and for a while calls the Moby dick home, would that make her the 'Mom' of the crew since Whitebeard is Pops?

I can just imagine it all starts one day because one of the younger members goes 'Thanks Ma/Mom' towards Rocks and it just catches on with the crew.

Yes, probably, after the crew realizes that Rocks is taking care of their pops. Older members of the crew might know who she is but it might take a while for Whitebeard to actually tell the crew (maybe he and Rocks have to figure out who they are to each other as well, after what happened.)

But when we talked about the "Mom" question before it's been suggested that it would be Marco who starts calling her Mom. He probably has a reason to do it, apart from just teasing. For example to signal to her that she has a place here with them if she wants it or to urge Whitebeard to get his head out of his ass. Sure, almost 40 years have passed, but Rocks is here now and even though WB has been insufferable while he recovers, she's not yet left. Etc etc.

Cross guild romance prompt:

When S-Hawk and S-Croc are first brought to the Guild or taken in, they both bond with their adult organic counterparts. But they actually really REALLY love Buggy.

He has that energy of Safe For Children, he's actually really really good with kiddos, especially ones with trauma. He really became the kinda person he wanted and needed when he was a lil'un. Buggy really likes kids, honestly, he just doesn't interact with them much, especially lately what with his newfound notoriety. Back in the East, at least, he could go relatively under cover and set up a circus event. Now, he's got his hands tied with options.

Crocodile and Mihawk are both surprised by this but don't particularly care. So what if the clown can make balloon animals and makes the boys actually smile and laugh? He's just a clown. Clowns do that. Whatever.

It only comes to a head when, late one evening, Mihawk goes to check on the boys when he senses a strange disturbance. Buggy beat him there. The swordsman watches from the doorway as Birdie (his own seraphim, name pending, nickname in the meantime) sits on the clown's lap, rubbing tears from his eyes. Angel (Croc's seraphim, name pending, nickname in the meantime) is wrapped up against the clown's chest. The three are in the rocking chair, Buggy holding both of the boys close, comforting them with hands in hair or petting backs. And he's singing softly to them. It's a language Mihawk has never heard before, to his knowledge. Though it DOES remind him of some of the seemingly senseless babble from Shanks when he drank far too much. He stays in the shadows, watching. Observing. Memorizing.

He refuses to acknowledge the warmth in his chest as anything other than mild heartburn.

Crocodile is faced with a similar situation but very much different. It's midday for one. And there are no tears or need for comfort involved for another.

It was a cooler day, and he'd seen hide nor hair from the clown for more than a few hours. Truly, a horrific notion.

He ends up finding Buggy in the kitchen, hair in a messy bun and wearing an apron. The kids are with him as well, in oversized aprons. All three are a mess, laughing, flour and powdered sugar on her faces, aprons, in their hair. It's chaotic. It's loud. It's... happy.

Crocodile just watches for a bit, as the boys bounce and squeal over the dark chocolate and red velvet cake they made, Buggy gently walking them through piping designs. He chuckles when they make a mistake, nudges them with his hip and calls it "avant garde", waves off any concern. He's gentle with them as he guides tiny, deceptively soft little hands in loops and designs, laying out stencils and sifting powdered sugar to make shapes. It's cavity inducing.

Especially when Angel, hair held back with a headband decorated with frogs, looks up at Buggy and asks without hesitation, "Can we take some to Father and Papa, mama Bug?"

Crocodile tenses. His eyes go wide. Has the clown been coaching them, has he been-

Then he catches sight of Buggy blushing, staring wide eyed at Angel. "What did you call me, Angie?"

"Called you mama Bug. Why?"

Buggy kneels down, smiling softly despite the visible confusion. "Why did you call me that, gumdrop?"

Birdie chips in at that point, leaning to peek over his brother's shoulder. "Because you're Mama."

Buggy giggles, tucking a loose curl back. "I meant, where did you silly sweeties learn that?"

Both boys grin brightly. "Books! And that story book you read us all the time, the one with the princes and knights and dragons! Papa is the big dragon, and Father is the king!" They both turn blinding smiles at the clown. "And you're the queen! 'Cause the queen is nice and warm and fun and smart and pretty! And the queen is the princes' mama, so you're mama. Mamas are supposed to be nice and cozy and take care of us. Like you do! So you're mama!"

Buggy sniffles, smiling so fondly, so softly, it makes something in Crocodile thump roughly. He won't put a name to it. He refuses.

When Buggy cups the boys' cheeks, presses a kiss to their foreheads, the logia user turns on his heel and walks away.

<><>

Just. The seraphims up and deciding that the cross guild leaders are the parents and playing accidentally-on-purpose matchmakers. Mihawk and Crocodile angrily falling for the Clown because the introduction of children has opened a new face for him, a new perspective to view and they're so pissed about it. They don't even want to beat him up anymore. They lay awake at night thinking about him. They're so mad. They're feral.

The kids are just like "wow, our dads are dumb. We should help!"

Cue a series of absolutely wild shenanigans, and Buggy is just. So confused. Then so done. So tired. He needs a nap. Maybe an energy drink. Maybe both at once.

S-Hawk and S-Croco makes sense to bond with their adult counterparts or come to a mutual tolerance of each other. The seraphim children really REALLY love Buggy because he has that SAFE energy for kids. I like that headcanon that he’s really good with kiddos, indeed he became the person for children that he wanted when he was little bug.

Buggy must be scared of interacting with kids after becoming one of the Emperor of the Sea. Yeah, Buggy could be a ringmaster and other performers in a circus back in the East Blue.

Headcanon: Buggy can make the greatest balloon animals because why not?

Mihawk going to check on the boys and find Buggy beat him to it, the clown hugging them both and calming them both. Birdie and Angel (holy stars what cute nicknames, let me guess all three have to come to a decision on what S-Croco and S-Hawk’s names will truly be and the seraphims must agree on them) Then Buggy starts singing to them! Mihawk’s heart!

Love One Piece having different languages than the common one… Maybe the language that the clown is singing in the Wado’s original language! Or maybe Roger or another Roger Pirate could speak another language and that’s what Buggy is singing in? IDK

Crocodile facing a similar situation, but it’s happier and more fun because the kids and Buggy are making treats (When you wrote that Crocodile having seen Buggy more than a couple times and to Crocodile it was a horrifying notion… does that mean Crocodile was looking for Buggy!!!) That mafia boss finding Buggy in the kitchen with the children. Awwwwwwwwww

It’s chaotic fun for Buggy and the seraphims, and they are making dark chocolate and red velvet cake! That’s so fucking cute! Squealing and wanting to kick my feet in the air of how cute the imagines I see are!!! Buggy walking them through piping the best he can, telling them that their mistakes don’t matter, and the cake still looks amazing. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

How Angel (love the headband decorated with frogs, you know that was once Buggy’s headbands or Buggy bought it for him) shocks both adults because he calls Crocodile - Father, Mihawk - Papa, and Buggy - Mama Bug! (I don't think it's only because Angel called Buggy - Mama) So, does Birdie call Mihawk - Father and Crocodile - Papa?

Crocodile thinking Buggy taught him to do that, but Buggy is as confused Crocodile is (Calling the Seraphim Gumdrop, that’s a cute nickname) Birdie agreeing with his brother about calling Buggy - Mama Bug and they learned it from books. (I read like Birdie was the one saying it, so Papa Crocodile is the big dragon, Father Mihawk being the king and Mama Buggy as the queen)

Buggy being emotional about this is so him. Crocodile’s heart thumping against his chest while Buggy is pressing a kiss on their foreheads. Going back to making the cake with Angel and Birdie as Crocodile leaves the kitchen, probably going to where Mihawk is.

Love that the seraphims are accidentally-on-purpose matchmakers and deciding the cross leaders are their parents. Love how Mihawk and Crocodile are anger that they are falling for the clown. Love that those two are lying awake and thinking about Buggy.

The kids thinking their dada are dumb and think everything will be well if they help. In the end everything was fine… but in the middle? Holy stars what did those two do? Yeah, Buggy will be needing bot an energy drink and a nap, so confused and done with what’s happening.
