My brain is doing some NOT VERY GREAT things rn, so I am EXTERNALIZING THE FEELINGS ONTO FICTIONAL MEN because that’s a healthier coping mechanism than the other options. (cw for suicidal ideation)

Jay’s been to the college library twice. Once because it was part of orientation, and once on his own in an attempt to do homework. He got one chapter into his assigned reading before a group of enthusiastic tennis juniors swept through and picked up anyone they recognized, and he hasn’t been back since. There’d been too many people around to focus on homework anyway.
“I’m not doing homework.”
Carlos thwacks his head. “I didn’t say we were doing homework, I said we’re going to the library. I know you don’t focus around other people.”
Jay rolls onto his back, as far away as he can get in the confines of a twin bed.
It’s not very far.
“I don’t focus….anywhere.”
Carlos winds a hand into his shirt to pull him back.
“Like I said, I know this game. You don’t focus anywhere because your brain thinks you’d be better off dead, and it won’t listen to anything that’s not getting it to that goal. You’re not going to shout over it, so you’re got to sneak around it.”

AH- Evie in the royalty au!
Evie is very infamous throughout the kingdoms she's a traveler of sorts whenever not traveling she's inventing or tinkering with objects
Although her place of origin is unknown she hates bringing it up and where she's going is unknown which makes her a recluse she is moreso known for her witty banter and attitude i guess you could say she has a spark of attitude!
Sometimes she likes being a court jester very competitive with Barnaby
This is still Evie soo she still has wings
Different wings from original Evie she doesn't show them unless needed
Psst down here

Hellooooo, it's meeeeee (remember that song?). I'm here to ask for all of the Relationships asks for Yara. Hope you're having an amazing day!
All of them? Hell yeah! (I've had so much fun with these asks you can't even imagine lol)
Ask game here!
1. What is your OC's relationship to their family - biological or found?
She has a great, very close relationship with her found family on the Whitebeard Pirates. She loves and adores Whitebeard as if he really were her biological father. There’s a line Marco had in the anime about why the WBP call Whitebeard “Pops” -- something along the lines of “Because he calls us sons. We’re all hated by the world, so it makes us happy.” And in Yara’s case, this is very true as well. She’s Whitebeard’s youngest “daughter” and gets spoiled by her “father” as such. Yara doesn’t know anything about her biological mother and only finds out about her biological father because of an old bounty poster issued before the creation of the Seven Warlords. She spends a lot of time resenting Mihawk and denying their connection until he saves her life at the end of Marineford and takes her back to his castle, where they finally have a chance to reconnect. (It’s at this point Yara learns about her biological mother, too). Post-timeskip, Mihawk and Yara have a much better relationship. It’s still a little strange, but a lot of the resentment seems to have faded away. They have the sort of relationship where they won’t talk for months at a time but then one will call the other out of the blue (probably Yara going “You let that CLOWN be in charge of Cross Guild??? Wtf were you thinking???”) and they’ll spend the next five hours on the den den mushi doing nothing but shit-talking Buggy.
2. Does your OC act differently around different people?
Not really? Yara is Yara. The only real factor on how different she is around other people is how much she likes them.
3. Is your OC a good leader? Do they like to lead or do they prefer to follow?
Yara prefers not to lead (though she’s just as skilled as the division commanders on Whitebeard’s crew, she refused to take a command position even when it was offered to her because she didn’t want one) but can and will step up in a pinch. She served as Acting Commander of 2nd Division in Ace’s absence during his Blackbeard hunt and after his capture in the Paramount War. She fully intended to relinquish the position upon Ace’s return, however.
4. Who influenced them the most on their journey?
Whitebeard. He saw promise in Yara as a young teenager and has been fostering her development ever since while also giving her the paternal love she never got growing up.
5. Do they have any siblings?
Not biologically, but she counts the other WBP as being like her siblings (except Ace, for… obvious reasons lmao). Marco is the person she’s closest to and openly refers to as a brother, despite their 20-odd year age difference. (In the anime, she would refer to him as “Marco nii-san”). Once she and Zoro train together during the timeskip, he becomes like a brother to her, too-- and Perona has decided that she and Yara are sisters now as well.
6. Are they more dominant or submissive in their relationships? (Not just sexually if even at all - Do they give in easily? Are they demanding? Are they stubborn?)
She’s very dominant and can be quite stubborn. Once she has her mind made up about something, it can be difficult to persuade her otherwise. That being said, she’s practical enough to know when to back down. But she’s no pushover and there are many things on her list of stuff she would rather die than do.
7. What type of friend are they?
Yara is fiercely loyal to her friends-- the kind who will help someone move and bury a body, lol. But she’s also brutally honest with them when she needs to be. If she thinks one of her friends is making a huge mistake, she’ll tell them. She might then proceed to go along with the mistake (i.e. allowing Ace to pursue Blackbeard while his other crewmates tried to stop him) but will at least not lie and say it’s a great idea.
8. How loyal are they?
Extremely so. Her loyalty is one of her defining character traits. Even long after the WBP disbanded, she still identifies herself with them and refuses to remove her tattoo or renounce her allegiance to Whitebeard. As mentioned above, however, that loyalty can be her undoing, particularly when she chose to remain true to her loyalty to (and love for) Ace in supporting his decision to go after Blackbeard.
9. How far would they be willing to travel for a loved one? What would it take to convince them?
Travel as in physically? Yara’s loyalty would definitely take her anywhere in the Four Seas, the Grand Line, and the New World, no questions asked. If someone that she’s loyal to asks her to be somewhere, she will be. As for how far she’d go for a loved one… Well, she was more than willing to jump right into starting a literal massive war to rescue Ace, so there’s that. The world could burn to the ground for all she’d care. All she wanted was Ace back, repercussions be damned.

SAN GREGORIO BEACH - club people & @evangelinemorris
Violet felt like so much had changed about her rag tag group of vigilantes since she cut and ran six years ago. Passively involved until coming back and diving in hoping nothing had changed. She was as naive then as ever and tonights night time surfing and beach party was evident enough when she was met with new face after new face. Plopping in the sand, a sweater wrapped around her and clutching two unopened bottles she passed one to Evie, "It doesn't stop for anyone. Does it?" She asked as she flipped the cap off into her palm and took a drink, "It's prosecco cider." She said with a warm smile, "I still hate actual beer." She said her eyes into the dark distance, only the flickering fire and the bright beaming moon shining on the ocean as she watched a group of friends ride in and out on unpredictable waves.
