Stowaway
This is 100% brain rot and I'm sorry, but also... not. It's a crack-idea that's been living in my head for a while and I'm too braindead from writing supposedly scientific texts and so... I needed this. Listen. LISTEN. This could be a setup for so many so very dumb scenarios and I'm kinda loving it. It could be another series that needs no logic, no context, no setup. So if anybody is as amused by this as me... let me know.
ANYHOW. Stowaway Series Reader x WBP (mostly Ace D. Portgas right now) 1.5k Mostly SFW for now. Language maybe a bit inappropriate. I need to gauge if anybody actually wants to read scenarios with this reader. (And I have SO MANY ideas right now.)
Tumblr media
You prided yourself in being an actually quite a smart person. How else would you have survived on your own in the New World for years without getting so much as a scratch? Well, perhaps a couple of scratches, but you still had all your limbs, digits and eyes and that surely had to count for something, right?
Granted, your devil fruit abilities helped you out quite a bit here, as much as you had cursed them after eating what you can only describe as the foulest thing you’ve ever had the displeasure to taste in your life. You had assumed that as nice as the fruit looked, it was probably rotten, thrown the rest away and not even fully realized your mistake when you almost drowned about 10 meters away from the fucking shore. When, however, your savior had run away screaming hysterically and you had caught sight of your reflection in the water… well.
Let’s just say the sudden presence of cat ears in place of your own had been your first clue. Your own tail slapping you in the face as you couldn’t help but panic your second. It had taken you a while to calm down and an even longer time to try and transform to figure out what the hell you actually were now.
A lioness perhaps, big and strong!
Or a tigress, mighty and powerful!
Perhaps even a lynx, quick and agile!
Well.
You had eaten the Neko Neko No Mi, alright. Except, you were small, fluffy and weighed in at 5kg, give or take a couple of grams. No exactly the boost in self-defense-abilities you had hoped for, if anything, you found yourself barked at by dogs frequently now and for some reason you got easily distracted by moving things.
It had taken you quite some more time to come to terms with your predicament but because you are a smart person™ you have found a way to utilize your new powers in any and all ways you could think of. Today, for example, they had been very useful to escape some thugs that were dead-set on catching you and taking all the money you had. Granted, it had been their money before but a) they had stolen it from the villagers b) you were not inclined to return it and c) fuck them. And so you had simply hidden it in a safe location, increased your fluffiness by 100% and decreased your size by 90% and strolled off into the sunset. You’d have given them the finger too as you walked past them but paws were ill-suited to do so. You had, however, managed to make one of them trip over you right on top of the stairs and in a beautiful chain-reaction he had taken out all the five men walking further down.
Satisfied with the utter destruction you had caused – you were pretty sure one of them was crying – you had decided to not take any chances and rest for the night on the safest place in the whole island, knowing they would never venture close to there: The Moby Dick that was currently docked in the harbor.
The Whitebeard Pirates passed by frequently and you were confident they would deal with the thugs and once they did you could return to your little treasure and see where the wind carried you.
And so you snuck aboard – easy, nobody was really caring about a cat and especially not when they were having a party –, looked for a nice place to nap – there was a lovely spot in what you assumed was the mass hall, with a neat little fireplace and a ledge above it -, and promptly fell asleep.
So far, so smart. Right?
Right?!
Except that when you woke up the next morning, you were unconsciously purring your ass off and leaning into a large, rough hand that was giving you the best petting session of your life. That is, until you realized what was happening, your heart stopped, and one of your nine lives was simply done and over with. You flew off the little ledge ass over tits (not that you had any at the present moment), uttering a hissed scream of surprise and landed with claws and teeth bared.
“Oh… Did I scare you?” the man standing in the big, clunky black boots cooed at you. “Look at you, all puffed up and ready to fight. You’re so cute!” he continued and crouched down, and you realized two things:
You were indeed all puffed up. Your volume had increased by 200%, your hair stood on end, your back was arched and your tail was whipping around wildly enough to almost hit you in the face again.
He was naked from the waist up, except for a necklace of blood-red beads and he was smiling at you with the most genuine smile you’d seen the whole year. Perhaps even longer.
You could do nothing against the puffiness – really, it was out of your paws – but at least your heart started to beat again and you could be very sure of that because it was hammering against your chest as if it wanted to leave you and the whole scenario behind. A good idea, actually.
His smile had dazzled you for a moment longer than it should have but now you did the only smart thing: you turned tail and legged it with all you had.
You managed approximately three full leaps before he scooped you up with a hand under your belly – so rude!! – and lifted you to his chest. You ended up with your face smushed against his very warm, very muscular chest and your brain activity momentarily ceased.
“Uff, you’re quick!” he laughed. “How did you even get onboard, huh? Must have snuck on yesterday night.” His second hand landed on your back and he started to pet you with long, calming strokes.
You pressed your paws against his chest – shit, really?! That defined?! – and finally managed to get your face out of his pecs to gasp for air. A barrage of words was already sitting on your tongue, pulling on your lips and you only caught yourself after a half-hissed “You…!”
Right. You were a cat. A cat.
Outing yourself as a random little thief onboard the fucking Moby Dick was not going to go over well, all that kept you from whatever fate these pirates probably deemed appropriate, was your current non-human state.
“Hm?” He stopped his ministrations for a moment and looked at you, his brown eyes curious as he frowned. He had freckles, you realized, and was pretty damn handsome. Then again, you could be biased, he was rubbing your butt at this very moment. “Almost sounded as if you were talking,” he muttered and shook his head.
Remembering that you were actually planning to escape, you pressed away from him with all your strength and hissed, ears flat against your head and claws out. You didn’t want to hurt him but you needed to get away and you needed him to stop rubbing your butt, goddamnitall. He flinched slightly but seemed otherwise utterly unimpressed by the full power of the 5kg you were throwing against him.
“Hey Ace! What do you have there?”
Great. More people, just what you needed. Your eyes darted to the side where another figure had appeared – another man, wearing a white uniform of sorts, a curious expression and a ridiculous pompadour.
“A little kitty-cat,” your captor – Ace? – answered and you extended your claws a bit more. You were neither tiny nor a kitty-cat. “Ouch, would you stop that?” he reprimanded you and got his hand off your ass to grasp your two front paws instead. A questionable success on your part.
“How did it get onboard?” the other one wondered and came closer, looking you over. His expression immediately lighted up and he reached out. “How pretty! Look at those eyes!” You all but melted away from the hand but that only meant you were flush against Ace now and between the sheer panic rising within you and the little distraction you detected as they started to talk to each other, you used your chance.
Sinking your teeth into the hand holding you, you simultaneously pushed off and away from him with your back legs and succeeded in catapulting yourself away from him – thankfully, it worked, he let go of your paws in surprise and a moment later, you were free.
You raced out of there like a bat out of hell, weaving through legs and rounding the corner of the door with enough speed that even with the added grip of your claws you barely made it. Having memorized the outline of the ship you knew exactly where the dock was and so you didn’t waste any time, you jumped up onto and over the railing like a projectile.
It was mid-air that you realized… there was no dock. Only water. The ship had set sail sometime during the night and you could only see the village and the saving dock as a tiny spot in the distance before gravity did what gravity does. It made you drop straight down into the water.

20 questions for writers
tagged by @pia-writes-things - thank you! :D
(under the cut to save your dash)
How many works do you have on AO3?
64 at the moment!
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
145,151 in eleven years... same as with drawing I don't post 90% of what I do lol whoops
3. What fandoms do you write for?
currently TES has been getting the gears going the most, but ER is my perennial love - and once in a blue moon I am compelled to do something TLU! SM is still very dear to my heart but I've been pretty dry on fic inspiration/drive for it for a while now :(
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
these are ALL OLDER PIECES haha so don't look too closely: it still burns - fluffy OPM piece for Knight c: what else can I say! too cold for you here and now - fluffy little Makoami piece (are you sensing a pattern already...) featuring terrible puns, because I have always loved characters trying to make each other laugh you do it for her (that is to say you do it for him) - another one written for Knight; OPM/SM crossover. with TWO chapters! left, left, left right left - introspective Romano piece re: arm. I actually now disagree with some character choices I made in this one so seeing it still getting attention has me like no... this doesn't represent me... Across the Western Ocean I Must Wander - Makoami pirate AU. also not a oneshot! (shock!) I don't think it holds up as well as I'd like, but the premise still compels me and there's some cute moments :'D still VIVIDLY remember being up late on a class night listening to one song on repeat while working on The Kissing Scene™
5. Do you respond to comments?
almost always! it may take me a bit sometimes, but I do try to make sure I do
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
frankly idek - being completely honest, "angst" just as a word at this point turns me off so immediately and so hard that I can't engage with the concept that way. I prefer endings with some hope, but I like some emotional complexity too! all my baggage about fandom and "angst" is for. ANOTHER TIME
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
again I'm not totally sure how to answer this one! I guess Ocean? doesn't get much more stereotypically happily-ever-after than "and then they ran away together the end"
8. Do you get hate on fics?
no, thankfully! I've gotten the occasional comment here and there that make me go "??" but more just sort of confusing, not malicious as far as I can tell lol
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
sdlkghlsj sex-repulsed asexual here and not for the first time I say: I am reasonably confident nobody wants me doing that. it can happen but offscreen to spare me the inevitable mortification... fade-to-black is about as far as we go in the House Of Mouse sorry!!
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I have before! it's not my preferred stomping grounds but I like a good one. I don't know about "craziest" but wouldn't do us any harm I think is probably the funniest of the handful I've shared (again: written primarily for Knight! warning that it is from 2016 LOL)
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not to my knowledge!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
also not to my knowledge!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
yes! baby Mouse ran a fic awards "show" (in the written medium obviously) with a friend back in like 2010 or 2011 on FFN... it was loads of fun!
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
just one?? if I have to choose then: Lizzie & the Bald Boys... my little driftwood raft that I've finally convinced a handful of other people aboard c':
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Makoami Princess and the Goblin AU :( still means a lot to me but SM just hasn't been where I've been drawn to write for a while!
16. What are your writing strengths?
dialogue + characterization is most often what I get compliments on (<3) - I'd like to think I have a fairly decent hand for little meaningful details too, but I think these more often than not end up just being for my own benefit because I like my symbolism subtle aha
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
LONGFORM... plugging together things into ordered chapters and maintaining momentum over longer spaces is my greatest struggle. I've had to come to terms with the fact that I'm much more a sprinter than a marathon runner, and it's been very freeing letting myself step outside of needing all the surrounding context to just do things as I come to them and then getting to string it all into chronology via series ordering
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
done well I find it really impressive! it's very hard to do well though ahaha.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
without the context of "fandom", the first story I ever wrote was about the Boxcar Children hanging out with me at age 6 (the entirety of chapter three was all of us singing the alphabet together and it was narratively crucial that this happen. for some reason.). with the context of knowing about fandom though, Scooby Doo at 11-12!
20. Favorite fic you've written?
of what's posted: Ocean has a lot of personal meaning because it was the first multichapter piece I was able to finish in several years, but on a technical level I've been really proud of some of the more layered pieces I've been practicing in the last year or so: Thermal Equilibrium and skipping stones I think are good examples of that :')
tagging: @knightnightwrite (I AM GOING TO GET YOU TO DO ONE OF THESE SOMEDAY <3 <3 <3), @wispstalk, @ehlnofay, @wonderofasunrise, and anyone else who wants to do it!! as always no obligation if you've been tagged and don't want to! except for Knight. beloved I am knocking on your door come PLAY WITH ME

I'm so happy you got to see the Barbie movie! It's so great i LOVED it. What part made you laugh the most? For me it was when Allan was like "the Kens only know how to build a wall up and not sideways." Idk why but that bit had me howling. (also!! the Ken song is now on spotify!!)
HAHAHA YESSSS that part with the wall was SO funny I was in stitches!!!!! Literally every scene with Allan was brilliant. The bored "mm" from the Barbies when Allan announces his arrival and nobody gives a shit. WHEN HE'S KICKING THE SHIT OUT OF THE KENS BUILDING THE WALL?? My favorite part with Allan is the little shoutout to "He's Ken's buddy! All of Ken's clothes fit him!" when he says "hey yeah I'm Ken's buddy? all of his clothes fit me--" and then he just starts beating the ever loving shit out of the other Kens. so sexy. and him being so so so supportive of Ken, despite not being in the same frame with him even once (or at least not that I can recall). Him crying when Ken was crying?? Him screaming "NOOOOOO" when Ken was FLAILING after getting knocked over by a wave?? god he's so cute... him saying "great cheer, kens :)" when all of the kens were cheerleading during volleyball??? ALLAN IS SO CUTE............ kissed and thrown into the pile material ❤
What part made me laugh the most?? Oh my gosh, more like what didn't make me laugh?? Every single time Ryan Gosling opened his mouth, I was wheezing. HIS EXPRESSION WHEN HE'S DANCING WITH BARBIE??? SO GOOD. HIM PUMPING HIS FISTS AND CHEERING "YES YES YES" TO HIMSELF EVERY TIME BARBIE ACKNOWLEDGES HIM SDLFKJSDLFD???? His little halfhearted depression dance when Barbie tells him "I don't want you here". and where the fuck does he go, where do they live? Nowhere? The beach, do all the Kens just huddle by the fake campfire for warmth??
THE WAY HE LAUGHS??? "HA HA HAAAAA." ALL THROATY. It's so cute and so stupid. He's got that kind of laugh where you gasp a little bit afterward and scrape your voice so you get that lil bit of grit n' gravel and that's my favorite kind of laugh in the world 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 His laugh always makes me giggle and kick my legs every time I hear it like I've got some sorta CRUSH OR SOMETHIN'.... I will literally sit on the edge of my seat in the movie theater and hype myself up to hear him laugh in that scene. When I can go full Robbie Rotten Pirate and find the movie online I'm gonna be looping that 20 times
DO YOU KNOW HOW OFTEN I'VE HEARD HIM SHOUTING "SUBLIME!" IN MY HEAD ON REPEAT??? IT'S LIKE A CONSTANT TRACK IN MY HEAD OVER AND OVER. I'M STOCKING THE SHELVES OR MIXING DRINKS AT WORK AND I KEEP HEARING RYAN GOSLING SHOUTING "SUBLIME!" IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD LIKE I'M HAUNTED BY A BLEACHED BLONDE FRAT BRO GHOST IN A FAUX MINK COAT WITH HORSES PRINTED ON THE INTERIOR
Another part that made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe was the fucking ambulance scene when he's out of his goddamn mind panicked. And the Barbies holding up the little fake xray piece of plastic and then saying "you're going to be fine, and actually in the time it took me to say that sentence, you've completely healed :)"
Will Ferrell. His whole character. He DELIVERED... god that was so good... the part where he throws the key card and he breaks down SOBBING and then seconds later he's like "OH NEVERMIND WE DIDN'T NEED IT" SDLFKJSDFKLSDFL??? Oh I HAVE to mention there was one scene where I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard, it was when all of the workers in suits were fucking SCRAMBLING to find Barbie, you just see them FLINGING themselves between cubicles shouting "BARBIE" and idk I think it was the way they were wailing her name like that while flinging their bodies, I was just. I was so fucking out of my mind, I had tears in my eyes and I was doubling over in my seat
The goddamn horses... horses EVERYWHERE. We love Horsegirl Ken™. The way he swings his body around one of the poles of the dreamhouse when he's sobbing, right after he kicks Barbie out of the dreamhouse -- sorry, Ken's Mojo Dojo Casa House. Him putting on TWO sunglasses so Barbie doesn't see him crying. The squeeeeeeak when he slides off of the truck...
THE ENTIRE DANCE SEQUENCE. THE SPARKLES. THE SPARKLES WHEN THEY'RE SCREAMING AND BARING THEIR CHESTS AT EACH OTHER, YOU KNOW I ATE THAT SHIT UP. "MY NAME'S KEN (AND SO AM I)." THE CHEEK KISSES??? THE DANCE MOVES... WHEN THEY FORM THE DIAMONDS??? Also this isn't related to the actual movie's song/scene but for two whole days I kept hearing Ken sing "blonde virginity" instead of "blonde fragility" during that song and I kept singing the lyrics wrong until I looked up a lyrics video. And I STILL hear "blonde virginity" no matter how hard I strain my ears (I blame my hearing disorders lmao) and it makes sense to me because yeah the dude has no dick and he can't get any pussy if genitals are literally nonexistent in BarbieLand ❤ ace4ace ❤
That's all I can think of at the top of my head, but there are a billion moments that made me laugh so hard, I'd probably just quote the entire movie. Most of them were Ken(s) related. Oh wait, one more honorable mention -- playing the guitar at you for FOUR. HOURS. goddamn CHEF'S KISS

Who has the biggest Slay™? Poll number 1
Congratulations, you have voted on who will go through the horrors (you have voted, right???) - that means it's now time for the fun part of the Halloween Challenge: Costumes! As usual, I'm an indecisive little gremlin and so I shall now present you with the ideas my brain has come up with.
My beloved judges of style, please decide in the following pageant, based on... How fitting are the costumes? And of course... the funnies. Bonus for style points.
Day Twenty-Eight: Let’s Be Weird Together
We all know of an iconic squad that so many people are just dying to be a part of. Well, it’s your ocs and their friends chance! Day 28 is group costumes!
THE SECURITY/ENGINEERING CHAOS BUNCH
Gordon Malloy as Han Solo (he gets to be the cool one for once <3)
John LaMarr as Lando Calrissian (ladies' man much?)
Alara Kitan as Leia Organa (girl power dot com)
Raevyn Maumahara as Luke Skywalker (she gets to pass off her baton as a lightsaber, I mean, come on now)
THE A-TEAM
Hannibal as Egon Spengler (aka only braincell)
Face as Peter Venkman (the ladies' man, except a more successful one than Venkman is)
Murdock as Ray Stantz (autistic swag - he has a Slimer plushy that he carries with him)
B.A. as Winston Zeddemore nobody (he insists that he didn't agree to this nonsense and only participates once they let him cut off the sleeves on his flightsuit but he secretly enjoys dressing up)
Kit as Gozer (androgynous as heck, has declared war on gender)
THE DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY
Hogan as Athena (big brain strategy energy)
Newkirk as Hermes (god of thieves)
LeBeau as Demeter (goddess of harvest who is known to become pissed if someone messes with her family)
Carter as Hephaistos (Carter is a blacksmith, except he uses chemicals that go boom in whatever he forges, which creates fire, which Hephaistos is also the god of)
Kinch as Hestia (he is mama bear, period)
Vicky as Aphrodite (her faceclaim is Marilyn Monroe, she is beautiful as all hell - also a known seductress)
THE STRAW HAT PIRATES
Monkey D. Luffy as Mario (he... he IS Mario, okay? Fun guy, red color theme...)
Roronoa Zoro as King Bowser (Zoro would make a great fire-breathing reptile and he deserves to wear leather, spiky bracelets and a choker)
Nami as Princess Daisy (do I need to explain?)
Usopp as Luigi (Luigi is a hero too, okay?!)
Sanji as King Boo (the vibes are there, okay? it would work super well with his suit aesthetic)
Akaito Coraline as Princess Peach (Cora is royalty, okay??? Also, she would love to wear a princess dress even for one day and put SO MUCH work into her costume - alternatively, I could see her as Pauline)
@daughter-of-melpomene @thehedgehogat221b @starcrossedjedis @come-along-pond

The Obligatory Pinned Post ™
Just general information about me/this blog so I don't have to keep updating stuff nobody reads ANYWAY.
What is you?: Ringleader or Ring, I use they/them pronouns, and I'm a big gay idiot who likes circuses, horror, metalcore and clowns.
Flight Rising Lair/Username: Ringleader #77673
Main Blog: Feraleir (follows will come from here.)
Reblogs/comments/likes: Unless otherwise specified in the tags everything i post is welcome to be reblogged and commented on that's why I'm posting it, to engage with the little dragon people in my phone.
Tagging System: Most of my lore about every character as of reviving this blog will be their name, followed by ;. ex: pig; Mal; if you're looking for someone specific, try their name in my /tagged.
Trigger Warnings: General TW for horror content, my lair's lore is centered around horror themes, a small town afflicted by ghosts, a circus staffed by things nature was deeply unkind to, Ghost pirates, a bunch of grave-robbing cowboys with cybernetic replacements unearthing an emperor. I will do my best to tag all triggering content, but if I miss something, PLEASE let me know! Notable warnings for this blog's content is Clowns, and the use of "Catholic Adjacent" imagery (In line with exorcists as portrayed in horror and popular media.) and general gore within context of fantasy violence.
Disclaimer: My content will likely be dark, as I'm an adult, and my interest is in horror. My lore on-site abides the PG-13 rules, but note that this blog may dip into R territory with it's depictions of characters. For this reason, consider my lair canon to be double-pronged. The darker content here on tumblr is canon to the OC interpretation of the characters, and the content in line with site guidelines is Fully canon across every interpretation.

Gamers be like "I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding" and then when Nintendo puts out One Single Game that costs $70, "despite" a "merely tolerable" framerate and resolution, and re-uses the map from their last game- pirating it is inherently ethical?????????
I know there's no ethical consumption under capitalism and that nobody is perfect and that better doesn't mean good and you contain multitudes. I know this.
But good god I hope none of you turn your Opinions™ to LEGO, or like, passenger rail.

Hey! The sky may still be devoid of stars, but it seems a lot brighter than it was. The moon is working hard for us tonight, and for that, I'm very grateful!
Ooh, well, I'll try my best to ask about your ocs that aren't spoken about much, because they certainly deserve to be!
I'm going to ask about Thomas, if that's okay! What was his life like before he was captured by the pirates, and why did they decide to take him? And what exactly about him made Rooster and Cyrus take pity on him? (Am I right when I say those two were who decided to help him?) What are those two like as people?
Hope it's lovely wherever you are and have a great week ahead of you!
-🐣
Hello, anon! Hope you're well! At least, if there's no stars, you can guarantee that there will always be the moon :)
You are way too kind! Don't feel like you have to ask a specific type of question, though! I'm absolutely fine with anything!
However, I will answer this stunner about my lads™, because I love the Trident Squad with all my heart
Thomas had a relatively decent life before being captured by pirates. He trained with a merchant ship, under the caring eye of Captain A. Robinson. Robinson was a brilliant guy, and definitely knew how to protect and fight for his crew. Unfortunately for him, he also held a rather valuable secret, so when the ship was plundered and seized by pirates, that secret was demanded of him. He (bravely, but also rather stupidly) chose to take that secret to his grave, which led to him being ran through in front of a then captive Thomas, and dying. The pirates chose to take this a step further because they were under the impression that he knew the secret, or that someone in his crew would fess up to knowing it to spare him.
Nobody ever did. Nobody knew what Robinson was hiding, and soon enough, it was too late anyways.
Rooster took pity on Thomas first. He'd seen the mess unfold from the start, and he could tell that there was nothing that that kid could possibly be hiding. Thus, almost as soon as the option was available to him, he snuck down to the brig and told that poor bastard that there was at least one person on his side. That was, of course, the very same moment where he caught him making an escape plan in perfect French and, being a Frenchman himself, swore himself to secrecy in exactly the same way.
Cyrus is Rooster's confidant (and by the way, you were absolutely right in thinking that the two of them are the ones who chose to help him), and so as soon as Rooster knew even a little bit about Thomas, he was informed too. He has always been a firm protector, at least, as long as Rooster's known him, and is definitely the more level headed and down to earth of the two. Rooster is rather energetic, and can talk a mile a minute, but means completely well, and is surprisingly gentle when the need arises.

FUCK okay I'm making a jewish headcanons post for our flag means death because it actually WORKS PERFECTLY
at this point jews had. JUST been allowed back into england like what 50 years prior to the start of the show? stede's family had converted generations back and had mostly lost touch with judaism but each generation knew they were jewish, but hid it for fear of social repercussions. stede spends his life hiding his jewish background, pretending to be christian like the rest of his family before him.
he marries a nice christian girl. he has kids. he is miserable. he doesn't realize that he's gay yet, but he certainly doesn't love her. he wants to reconnect with his jewish heritage, but that would make Everyone Talk, and god knows how much more awful that would make his life. the pressure of hiding so many aspects of himself takes a toll and he starts romanticizing a life of freedom on the seas where he can be himself.
he commissions a ship to be built and pays off a crew and sets sail on his new ship, abandoning his old way of life. and what is one of the most important things he brings with him?
BOOKS.
the man wants to reconnect with his heritage and be more himself and so he brings shelves and shelves and shelves worth of books. if that isn't top tier nonsensical Jew™ behavior I don't know what is.
Now we get to ED.
Edward Teach, brought up poor, pining after the finer things in life, and what does his mother tell him?
that finery is meant for other people. that they will never be able to achieve that, and that he should be happy with what they have.
I wonder WHY his mother was so convinced that the family would never rise in social status???
OH YEAH. CUZ THEY WERE JEWS.
Second class status, persecuted beyond belief, forced to live practically undercover and never allowed into the upper echelons of society. no wonder Ed flees that for a life on the seas. at least there, everyone's an outcast.
and then he meets Stede.
Stede, who is now openly exploring his heritage on the high seas while failing terrifically at pirating. Stede, who brought books upon books with him, probably including some gemara, who openly institutes a day of rest on board his ship by giving his crew a day off (which at first they don't know what to do with, but soon come to appreciate. much like crafting.) Stede, who clearly came from money, who has nice things, who wears nice clothes, who is an aristocrat. and Jewish.
and Ed is FASCINATED.
anyway everyone on this show is a jew and nobody can tell me otherwise everyone go watch this show if you haven't already it's amazing

ACOTAR characters during
🦇👻🎃✨ Spooky Season ✨🎃🔮💀
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ACOTAR during spooky season....🦇🎃✨
Feysand + Nyx: That Family™ Spend all their time gushing about their baby's first Halloween. Dresses up in adorable family costumes like three bears or the minions. Throw the biggest party in town complete with music, dancing, games, and elaborate decor. Definitely give out full-size candy bars.
Cassian: "this is my excuse to get naked and be annoying" Dresses up as something ridiculous that lets his nips free. Like a Greek god or a sexy fruit. "Pff. I'm not scared" *immediately screams when startled* Knows all the moves to Thriller. Starts a prank war. Acts macho but is actually a total scaredy-cat.
Nesta: witchy vibes all around. She's scary and sexy. LOVES Halloween. Dresses up like a witch with a deep V and pointy hat. Eats all the chocolate. Freaks out people by memorizing hexes and chants. Can't keep her hands off Cassian. Plans to pin him down on a pentagram and do things to him.
Azriel: the unsuspecting enthusiast. Nobody thought he would dress up but ends up with one of the best costumes. Like a cool vampire or a really hot pirate. Expert with a knife so carves the best jack-o-lanterns. Super sneaky. Loves to jump out and spook Cassian. First in line for the Haunted House. Laughs at things that should be scary. Literally nothing can scare Azriel.
Gwyn: the adorable traditionalist. Loves all the classics. Knows all the lore, history, and tons of spooky stories. Gets super excited like a child. Dresses up as a book character or something historical. Spent weeks making her own costume. Beats Azriel in the costume contest. Sings the Monster Mash and loves playing games.
Emerie: Too cool for Halloween. Content sitting by the fireplace and passing out candy. Loves cozy vibes and warm drinks. Into cult classic films. Wears a "This is my costume" t-shirts but is a good sport. The responsible one of the group and makes sure everyone is being safe and having a good time.
Mor: The Life of the Party. Loves a slutty costume moment. Goes all out with her outfit. She pretty much just wants to get drunk and party with her friends. Unfazed by the horror. You can't scare her. Literally grew up in Hell. Oh, you're dressed like a demon? I thought you were my dad.
Amren: the scary Goth babe. Absolutely terrifying. Knows all your fears. Takes the season way too seriously. Dresses up as something horrifying. Sits in a graveyard 'just for fun.' Thinks Cassian looks ridiculous and scares him all night. Terrorizes children. This is fake blood?
Lucien: the Autumnal King 🍁👑 Embraces the season and goes all out. Loves the outdoors, campfires, the smell of cinnamon. Feels nostalgic and a little bit pretentious. Almost dressed up like Beron bc what could be scarier than your trauma? He is ready for a good time and loves to party.
Elain: the pumpkin spice latte of the group. Dresses up as a cute woodland creature like a deer or a mouse. Gets freaked out by the gore and the horror. More into the cutesy side of Halloween. Loves pumpkin patches and apple picking. Bakes pumpkin-shaped cookies and apple-flavored treats
Tamlin: No one invited him. Dressed up like a werewolf. Passes out toothbrushes instead of candy. A bit of a creep. Steals candy from children. His house definitely gets TP’d and egged. Haunted by the ghost of his past failures and toxic behavior.
The House™: It’s time to shine. Turns into the Haunted House! cobwebs! pumpkins! glow in the dark bats! skeletons in every closet! Bring out the fog! Release the spiders! Blasting 🎼🔊THIS IS HALLOWEEN! THIS IS HALLOWEEN! 🎼🔊 Bryaxis...come out come out wherever you are.... (cassian shrieks in the distance)

my character in the minecraft rp server i often talk about is very interesting
not only in a "what the fuck this is so cursed" way
she's a nerd who WILL fight anyone and probably win if it's a fair fight, and yet she's the biggest loser on the server
when she can get someone to help her with anything, her plans never fail, but all the other times she actively avoids thinking because that will only lead to realizing she sucks at pretty much everything when there isn't someone helping
i'm still waiting to get a chance to mention that redstone is radioactive
everyone sees her as untrustworthy even though she's 100% clear about what she's gonna do at all times
(example that actually happened:
someone else's character: "how do i know i can trust you? will you kill me if i take off my armor?"
my character: "i've never lied to you and i'm not intending to, and no"
my character: "nvm yes i will, i forgot [a thing they did]"
[the other character takes off their armor and gets killed immediately, then acts like they didn't expect it])
everyone always assumes she has a plan to hurt them in some way when her real plan is just something that helps her and doesn't care about the others (some have even been so close to figuring out WHY she doesn't care about helping them, like they'll be like "i've never done anything other than try to kill you, why would you do something that helps me? obviously you're lying and this is a trap and that's why you have no friends and nobody likes you")
the main thing preventing her from being able to do whatever she wants is the fact she never goes to the nether (for backstory reasons)
so she can't get netherite, and since pretty much no one likes her no one will give her any, so her armor and weapons are worse than everyone else's
here are all the characters she has a positive relationship with:
perfect father figure™
only real close friend, has a big library
catboy pirate who sells guns and she can barely beat in a fight
3 different people who just disappeared (2 of the people who owned the characters just stopped playing, the other left the discord server)
I-
Wow

tfw your character had a crush on someone in the party for almost the whole campaign and you only find out while you're post-campaign bullshitting that they also had a crush on your character. 😅😅😅😭😭😭

i love that, whenever we do our post-campaign one-shot, it's ostensibly so we can wrap up Bael-lys's stuff with Granny Nightshade, the horrifying, wildly powerful hag who, like, traps you in nightmares or whatever
but we've already decided that the key goal of that one-shot will be for yara and bree to get their heads out of their asses and make out already

I cannot believe that the whole time Bree was like "Yara's probably still into her pirate gf, I'm not gonna make a move unless she does" and Yara was like "Me being a pirate is probably a dealbreaker, I'm not gonna make a move unless she does."
fucking DINGUSES.

i appreciate Encanto for capturing the duality of middle child in Luisa and Camilo
are you the "I am the unsung rock of this family" middle child or the "I will be Dramatic™ until I get the attention I deserve" middle child

The real beauty of Pokémon Legends is that in every Pokémon game since childhood you knew some little asshole was lurking in the tall grass, waiting to ruin your day
And now you are the asshole lurking in the tall grass
