I ammm very curious about #Masturbate 👀

Based on my notes (because I don't remember that fic) it was a fic where Peter is alone on Valentine's Day, and he decides to use the day to take himself on a #masturdate. Basically, it's a self-date where he does a day of self-love and spoils himself and while he's getting off with his new purchases, Tony comes into May's apartment and catches him and says "Hey, Peter what are you… Oh, you have got to be kidding me this is pitiful."

And smut ensues.

What drew you to Dan and Phil

So funny story, I actually saw TABINOF in Barnes and Noble and had no idea who they were, and flicked through the book and was like "These guys are weird. I am gonna look them up" and then I did, and now here I am... almost 10 years later lol

So. Hear 5. Nika. Loony Tunes Luffy, if you will. Tell us your thoughts on him and any potential meta? 👀 I’ve been aching to hear it from you since we first saw him go Full Silly Boy.

it's hard to answer this, because i have so many thoughts. i'm just going to try and start from the biggest points and move down.

i like gear five a lot, and i think this development feels very appropriate as a culmination of both luffy's character and the themes of one piece as a whole because of how it interacts with three extremely dominant motifs that have reoccurred throughout the story: freedom, laughter, and the sun.

from the very beginning of the story, luffy has acted, in small ways and big, as an agent of complete freedom. from his first meeting with coby to his breakout at impel down to the liberation of wano, what luffy does is destroy systems that control and oppress, if only because they are in his way. every strawhat is somehow trapped and held back from pursuing their own dreams when they meet luffy, and he frees them all, along with hundreds of others along the way, whether he's inspiring shirahoshi to venture outside or crushing yamato's manacles. his talent for this has always seemed almost preternatural.

luffy is not necessarily a benevolent person; he doesn't care much about helping people in the abstract. he's selfish. he values freedom for freedom's own sake, not because of any greater moral convictions. he doesn't think much about the negative knock-on effects of things like causing a mass breakout at impel down, and he doesn't really go around seeking out downtrodden and oppressed people to free out of a charitable or selfless instinct, nor does he really do anything because it's the right thing to do. he's dismissive of the idea that he might be a hero.

but because he is a completely uncontrollable free agent, and he doesn't really want anything but for himself and everyone he cares about to be completely free, he constantly collides with the systems of oppression that control his world, and when those collisions happen, it is the systems that fail, time and time again, because oppressive systems always do eventually. they can't withstand the light of day. and because he lives completely confidently and unapologetically, he is constantly inspiring others to do the same.

so by the time we are told about nika for the first time, we already know that what nika is said to do is what we've seen luffy doing for more than a thousand chapters: he frees people, and inspires them, and makes them laugh.

i also find luffy-as-nika to be very interesting and thematically appropriate when positioned in opposition to the various antagonists in one piece who have declared themselves to be gods, frequently some of its most tyrannical and oppressive villains- enel, the celestial dragons, doflamingo. all enslave and imprison people, robbing them of their freedom.

nika is a god of slaves, and a creature of liberation. the natural enemy, as rosinante might say, of that sort of megalomaniacal 'god.'

one piece has also consistently connected the theme of freedom, as embodied through luffy, with the sun since very early on. the sun pirates, former slaves, used the symbol of the sun to wipe away the brand of the celestial dragons. (and aren't i curious to know what jinbei might know about nika- he never did answer who's who's question about it.) the fishmen more broadly view the sun as something to be reached when they are truly free. on wano, the coming dawn is understood as the coming liberation. impel down and the florian triangle, places of indefinite imprisonment, are lightless dungeons where the sun doesn't reach. the sun is freedom.

and luffy has always been thoroughly sun associated, from the visual of his hat to his origin on dawn island in the east blue, to his ship, the thousand sunny.

finally, one piece has always placed a great deal of emphasis on smiles and laughter (laugh tale, joy boy, roger laughed, etc)- but that joy must be real. it can't be forced. we're told again and again, through koala, dressrosa's toys, and most obviously the victims of the failed SMILE fruits, that to force someone to smile, denying them the right to cry, is nothing less than an atrocity. people can't be forced to be happy- they should be happy because they're free.

luffy in gear five is laughing nigh-constantly, but it's just because he's having so much fun. unlike the victims of the SMILE fruits, his endless joy is genuine, because in this form, he is completely free- nobody can stop him, and nobody can control him. as he says himself, he can do whatever he wants.

i know that some people felt this moment was in some way a deus ex machina, but it just didn't feel that way to me, because of how well it plays on the story's established themes and trajectory, as well as concepts like devil fruit awakening having been established hundreds of chapters back.

luffy is the sun, the sun is freedom, freedom is joy. i think it makes total sense.

could I possibly request tiny Damian and Nika?

Imagine Nika meeting Alfred for the first time (because screw canon, he's alive).

Yes Nika will find a way to revive(?) both of Damian's grandfathers! (trust🙏)

In my head, I imagine Nika would be a bit intimidated by Alfred if he gets revived, cuz he is so well loved and respected by Damian and the batfamily.

She would recognize him from when he was the ghost that had lingered by Damian's side at the tournament. She would know how important Alfred is to Damian and how Alfred's death had a big impact on him.

-[Robin(2021)#6]-Artist: Gleb Melnikov-

I hc Nika can feel the presenting energy of Alfred here but can't really see or hear him because Alfred chose to only reveal to Damian.

It's very unlikely to happen in the comic now… but I wish Nika's ghost grandfather would appear in the future! And see how much he has taken part in Nika's life before and after his death.( dc please I need to see Nika's childhood with her family… if she even still interacts with her ghost grandfather at all…)

I think it would be interesting if Nika's grandpa had interactions with Damian's two grandpas while they were dead and hadn't been revived yet(Nika will not be able to revive her own grandfather cuz he has been dead for years unlike Damian's are being dead in recent months). It’s just funny to me to imagine the grandpas gathering to discuss their own respective grandchildren's well-being.

If you couldnt ship Peter and Tony, who is your next top ship?

Hmmm... Depends. Cuz I kinda feel like I would ship Winteriron or Winterspider, or stucky.

Wouldn't it be kind of fucked up if Luffy did just die in his fight against Kaido and the whole time after that it's just the devil fruit that's like playing with his corpse like a sock puppet.

. his face would be covered in blood throughout the entire fight me thinks

screaming crying begging for ransom + holding hands in a museum to pull them to the next exhibition 🥺💛

In Perfect Colour

a/n: hi nika 🥺💕 hehe totally a coincidence i answered this today 🤧 this took me a while but i love this combo

“Come on, we don’t have all day.” That’s what Ransom says but when you turn at his tugging, he has a small smile and endless fondness in his eyes.

Against the red velvet walls of the Baroque Gallery, he is a marblesque figure, a single dark lock of hair rakishly crossing his forehead; one that you pulled from its gelled confines before you left the hotel this morning. 

“Aww, but I’m admiring the art,” grinning, you hold up both hands, extended fingers as your mock picture frame, “Are you a classical masterwork-” “Stop, do not finish that-” “-cause I’d like to pin you against the wall.”

He grabs you by the waist, tugging you closer, looking furtively over his shoulder for any bystanders or stragglers from your tour group as you laugh and laugh, hidden in his long coat. 

His “shut up” is faint enough and breathy enough that you forgive him instantly and tilt your head, his thumb on your chin guiding you up to meet his lips. 

Your guide’s face is a neat puce when you two finally rejoin the group, hand-in-hand and looking a little worse for wear. His vigorous accented rant about respecting “le Musée” is overshadowed by the tittering of old ladies eyeing Ransom’s red-stained cheeks and the pulse of your heart still throbbing.

heheheheheheheheh 😏💕 i enjoy making fictional guys flustered 🫶🏻 they'll have a lovely rest of their day, eating all the good food and kissing in their hotel room
