Shanks, still conversing with Mihawk on a snail call: So, Hawkeyes, this baby of yours? Tell me about it! Is it cute!?
Mihawk: My child's name is Dracule Talon. He looks just like me. He will be quite handsome when he grows up, but to answer your question, right now he is very cute.
Talon: *gags*
Shanks: Does he have your eyes?
Mihawk: Yes, quite so.
Shanks: Sweet!
Mihawk: He also has my hair.
Shanks: Aww!
Mihawk: And his feathers are quite soft.
Shanks: ....his uh, what?
Mihawk: His dagger-like fingers are impressive as well.
Shanks: Umm, okay...
Mihawk: He loves to eat tuna meat, fresh caught from the sea. I blend it with grapes and nuts, so we both enjoy it.
Shanks: *slight gagging noise*
Mihawk: He's also already very good with a blade. When I first carried him, I never thought I could be a father. Yet, here we are... *notices Buggy accidentally splashed him with a drink while setting a glass down* Oh Buggy, you did this to me.
Shanks: *choking on the other end* B-Buggy!?!? Your son came from Buggy???
Mihawk: Technically, Buggy alerted me to Talon's existence. However, the child did come from an Egg-oh, Talon, save some of that for Crocodile later, would you?
Shanks: E-Eg-EGG!? .....*line goes quiet*
Mihawk: My apologies, Shanks, where was I? ....Shanks?
Buggy: *yelling at the receiver* Benn, are you there? Did he faint?
Benn: Yep. Out cold. *looooong sigh* Talk to you later, I guess. *hangs up the call*

Continuation of this post. XD
so i saw some posts about how izuku too easily overcome his quirklessness after receiving ofa, right? mostly people in and under those posts say that it's a shame that we don't see the difficulties of re-thinking his identity and this situation is kinda unrealistic. well i can understand the upsetting feeling of not receiving an interesting point of character's self-discovering and stuff but i have a thing to say about how this thing will make sense (possibly).
so let's make an assumption that quirklessness in the world of bnha is some kind of disability. as far as i know we don't have clear statement in canon but it make sense, right? like if you search the word "disability" you will find something along the lines "the experience of any condition that makes it more difficult for a person to do certain activities or have equitable access within a given society". sooo in REAL world quirklessness isn't a disability because... well non of us here superpower, right? BUT on bnha world quirks are seen as an extension of human being like leg or hand. so it will be logical to assume that person without quirk can't be seen as fully capable as quirked one within society.
let's not bring the paranormal liberation front stuff because it's a topic for different post and I'm already getting far from point of this one.
so izuku is disabled in the beginning of the story, yeah? then why the hell he overcome his disability with a simple snap of fingers and why did it make sense?
now i will be coming from my perspective. I'm disabled and was like this for good chank of my life. and what usually come with it? disability becomes a part of person's identity. not only for people around disabled person but for them too.
now my rambling make even less sense but wait I'm getting to the point.
from interaction between izuku and bakugo + tone of voice of izuku's teacher in aldera we know that deku suffered from bulling BECAUSE of quirklessness. moreover when izuku asked all might can he become a hero, all might didn't ask him about his skills or why he feel a need to be a hero, no. all might just write him off solidly because of izuku's quirklessness and let me be honest: i believe that that wasn't the first time deku was given such "reality check".
can you smell that? oh yeah the good old ✨trauma✨
why did i wrote that i'll view this situation from perspective of my personal experience? well, i was bullied because of my disability back in school and guess what? most of the adults in my life didn't give me a chance to prove myself before they decide that I'm useless.
and that's the main reason why my disability become the thing that I'm activity trying to hide and don't let this abomination become a part of what make me who am i now.
can you see where I'm getting? izuku viewed his quirklessness as a thing that made his life harder and what made other people see him less of a human. so when The Miracle happened izuku just signed with relief and went ahead leaving behind the thing that made him miserable.
the last part of this ungodly long post: why do i believe that izuku doesn't let quirklessness become part of his identity and rather ignored it? well this is the part where i stop pretending that i have some Absolutely Logical Conclusions and become delusional. so we all remember that for the good part of plot izuku keep telling that he's gonna be hero like all might. well make sense because of ofa and all this razzle and dazzle with all might's successor, right? BUT this also can be applied to quirkless izuku. he WANTED and WAS GOING to become hero like all might, and i see it as if he didn't come in terms with his inability to become Just Like All Might. according to this statement izuku was ignoring differences between him and other (quirked) people. this make me believe that deep down he refuse to accept disability as part (or ex-part according to canon events) of himself.
is it healthy? no.
does izuku have a healthy image of himself? probably not.
did i just come up with unshaped pile of thoughts at night before bed and decide to vomit it straight into the internet? yes, i did.
Both Crocodile and Mihawk definitely suck at flirting. They both fall for Buggy and do not know what to do because they've always been too focused on their things to actually flirt, and Buggy is too fucking oblivious to get their hints. Mihawk will tell Buggy with the most menacing voice to come with him to taste a bit of red (wine) and Buggy thinks he's actually a vampire and he's gonna murder him and eat him. Crocodile will try to go for the mafioso style and buy Buggy expensive stuff, and then tell him (trying to sound sexy and failing) to return the favor (with a date or sex) but Buggy thinks he actually owes Crocodile tons of money. And then they both never find out why the hell their super crafted and romantic pick-up lines don't work.
let's be honest with each other yamada who speaks english this often is just like a basic queer teenager from homophobic country in eastern europe.
me, putting a badge 'queerplatonic relationship' on iida, todoroki, uraraka and midoriya: *takes a step back* heh, nice👍
This involves a lot of rearranging of cannon events. But basically Shanks realizes that Luffy is living alone and promises him the next time he comes to Dawn island he’ll take Luffy with him. Crap finds out and take Luffy to Dadan, where he meets Ace and Sabo. Shanks returns just in time to stop the Bluejam pirates from separating the ASL brothers. He spends some time getting to know the other two boys and decides to take them with him.

Garp is the funniest character of One Piece because he's a marine and yet he had a revolutionary son and then three grandsons who are basically: A communist, an arsonist, and an anarchist. The four of them definitely say "fuck the Marines" on a daily basis but would probably show up to a family dinner as if nothing happened
The best thing about Zoro and Luffy to me is they exist right beside each other. They could go their whole life without labelling their relationship. Their just a pair that should never be separated. The type to end up living if they're single, if the concept of those married benefit things they'd get married type deal.
Mihawk, age 41: *sitting in his castle sipping wine, with Zoro and Perona running around arguing* Not a moment's peace around here.
Mihawk, age 43: *balancing a crying Nemo on his hip while making dinner as Gryphon cleaves the furniture in half, Gabe runs around playing, and Buggy is doing one of his speeches that gets everybody cheering* It's quiet today.
me, making myself a salad at 3 a.m. before going back to study until sunrise: is THIS how aizawa feels when he comes back from night patrol in the middle of a school week...
