#he's only just joined the crew

[nonuel]

mass effect fandom typically has no problem disregarding or rewriting portions of canon, but one thing i have almost never seen touched is the friendship between garrus and shepard. so here is a poll because i am genuinely curious. i tried to be as expansive as poll limitations allowed, but since we are already throwing out canon i recognize there are a lot of variances that haven't been included. because of that, i would particularly like it if people elaborated about their non-romantic relationship with garrus in the tags, comments, or reblogs - especially if you are someone who has voted for any of the non-friend options. thanks for your time!

this post is not meant to be garrus critical. garrus enjoyers are welcome to participate in the poll, i only ask that you are respectful toward other people who may not have him as their favorite, or who may just simply roleplay a shepard that does not have him as their (best) friend for whatever reason.

#mass effect #mass effect polls #kaidan alenko #ashley williams #liara t'soni #i feel like such an ass tagging with those char tags but i really want a discussion started 😭 #if you want it removed from one of the character tags let me know and i'll oblige #(i didn't tag gman only bc i feel like most of the ppl who frequent that tag are the ones who romance him and this is a non-romance poll) #tbh i already know what the most popular choice(s) are going to be #but maybe the convo it starts will be interesting :3 #anyway. my answer to the poll: #nadia doesn't recruit him in ME1 and i diverge from canon options by ME3 #i think he is a crew member in ME2 as per canon but in ME3 he only joins temporarily and leaves with victus #like how you can dismiss the VS after the coup and they just become a war asset #the overall poll option that suits her best i think is just that she doesn't hate him but she also doesn't trust him #but if i went by game me1 would be that she mostly doesn't remember he exists #me2 would be antagonistic coworkers but (very grudging) trust in combat #me3 is the overall poll option i already mentioned. more or less

You know, I would love it if we could see Mihawk just. Get slightly fucked up by someone, have his sword stolen and watch him figure out how to fight with some random ass sword instead

I just think. It'd be neat.

Like we kinda know how The World's Greatest Swordsman fights with his itty bitty knife, we know what kind of damage he can do with his iconic Yoru

I just think it'd be fun to see him fight with a regular katana and try to get his stolen sword back or summin' IDK

#Moon posting #Cross Guild #Mihawk #OP Spoilers #OP Meta #IDK something something Cross Guild can't pay for Garp's bounty so Blackbeard's crew goes and attacks them #Kidnaps Crocodile and Buggy to steal their abilities and takes Mihawk as captive to see if he'll join BB or not #Steal his sword in the meantime to give to his crew as a toy to play with or something #I don't know there's something about this scenario that facinates me #Also if Luffy and co went to save Garp from Blackbeard I could imagine a scenario where the crew find CG in the prison #And free them. And could you imagine Mihawk asking Zoro to borrow one of his swords while he goes gets his back or summin #I JUST THINK IT'D BE NEAT #This scenario facinates me. I would love to see it #Especially since we didn't really get to see that much of Zoro and Mihawk interacting so like. It'd be cute #Also like GENERALLY SPEAKING I would just love to see Mihawk in a 1v1 duel with someone OTHER THAN ZORO #(Or Shanks) #I dunno I think Mihawk is just Neat but we barely get to see him Do Things so it'd be so fun to see him Do Things #Break Week is hitting hard. It's been So Many Months and we still have no idea where the CG subplot is going #I can only speculate and make 50 different suggestions for where the story could go from here #(I say ''break week is hitting hard'' on the Friday evening after 1101 was released unofficially) #(This week is gonna be rough y'all lmao)

Sorry but gone evil s6 pirate jay would be so hot fr fr, I want him to get punched in the face repeatedly before converting a bunch of Ninjago citizens into his gay pirate crew and doing uhhh crime

#ig he wouldn’t be evil then #my s6 rewrite I want jay to have an identity crisis and actually be a pirate #to fit in with the theme of being forced to do something that Nya has #Jay resigns to a life of piracy #it’s kinda similar to a s12 rewrite idea I’ve had #bc he’s the only ninja who didn’t really have any pre-existing reasons to be a ninja #he just kinda picked it up #Zane didn’t know who he was - Cole had mummy issues - kai and Nya also had issues and hero complexes - Lloyd was born #but what was stopping jay from turning around and just living with his parents #especially since in this season his found family gets taken #and he’s just like fuck it ig I’ll just join Nadakhan’s crew and be a pirate bc he literally doesn’t even know who he is anymore #and maybe his self esteem takes a hit because he realises he was literally abandoned by rich people #idk #*gives jay a villain arc or two* #forgot to tag #ninjago #lego ninjago #Ninjago jay #ninjago rewrite #Ninjago s6 #Ninjago skybound

Honestly, Zoro could be revealed to be from the Grand Line or the New World and I would not even be surprised...

Zoro is absolutely the kind of person who would accidentally wander off and then proceed to get so lost that he winds up in a different sea altogether.

Can you imagine if the Straw Hats went to the next island and the people immediately recognize Zoro on the docks?

People calling out his name and saying, "Where have you been?!"

And the other Straw Hats are like, "You're from the Grand Line?!"

And Zoro's just, "I'm from the Grand Line?!"

-

Or, alternatively:

Zoro is convinced that — rather than him being from the Grand Line — Nami must've somehow managed to accidentally navigate them all the way back to the East Blue, and it's the Straw Hats who are now lost.

#roronoa zoro #one piece #op #headcanon #op fanfic #honestly i'm convinced that there's gotta be SOMETHING more to zoro's backstory... #idc how unrealistic it is #zoro's backstory/joining the crew cannot be like one episode long #most of the other characters all got entire arcs #and the one's that didn't just got it later on #nami and robin seemed to join easily at first only to get their backstory later on when they tried to leave and luffy dragged them back #similar thing with sanji though he had a bit more backstory in the beginning #even brook got the laboon reveal a bit later #idk man im convinced (hopeful) that zoro's gunna get more #it's just too weird #zoro's got plotholes man #you're telling me this random kid was just running around challenging dojos? bullshit #how did he end up in the village? how long had been running around by himself? #why was he challenging dojos? #where are his parents? #WHY WAS HE SO DIRTY #i'm like 99% certain he was homeless #how did he wind up in that position? #a homeless possibly orphaned child running around challenging dojos??????? #sus. #most homeless orphaned children will run around trying to get a job or stealing food #not challenging dojos????? #how was he getting money to eat #what was he eating #and why was he more preoccupied with challenging ppl to duels rather than SURVIVING????

I really wish yamato had gone with luffy and I love that he asked to be considered a crewmate anyway and that luffy told him he'd always have a place on the sunny so I a hundred percent consider him a mugiwara but in my ideal one piece where the war ended differently and ace is still alive yamato is his. like obviously ace is dead and he hadn't been a captain for a while before then anyway, but in my ideal one piece yamato belongs to him. he's a spades. he's ace's crewmate first and foremost.

#the way yamato talks about ace is so wonderful to me so beautiful #the certainty he had in ace being the one who'd spearhead the new age rivals the trust the mugiwaras have in luffy #the only reason he wants to be on luffy's crew is cause ace told him so much about luffy he decided if it wasn't ace it had to be luffy the #i have this thing in my brain that if the asl brothers had all actually become captains and stayed so #there's a whole bunch of luffy's allies that would have actually been split between them #like i mean the only reason why they're with luffy is that cause he's the closest thing but #had ace and sabo gotten there first some of them would have aligned more with them than with luffy #like take vivi for example she's DEFINITELY nakama and no one will take that from her #but are you seriously telling me had sabo had his own crew he wouldn't have managed to actually steal her away #some of the royals and nobles luffy befriended are so sabo coded they'd have joined his crew in a heartbeat had he had one #same with ace there's a bunch of mugiwara allies that are so ace coded he'd have swept them away so easily..... #no but that's not even it with yamato #like that's just me letting my brain go but with yamato it's like #on paper #dude saw the new king in ace he'd have followed him to the end of every sea had he been able to #had ace gotten there when he knew haki already...... #no yamatos definitely aces ace just lent him to luffy thats the hill I'll die on #on a side note i just read that one part where marco remembers ace whining that he wanted to go back to yamato #and i had forgotten that he smiles and cries at the memory #one hit ko a million hp lost i want to die what the hell marco my love marco my sweetheart 😭😭😭😭😭 #oh i love marco so much...... #i always loved him unreasonably even before the war when he'd barely done anything but the more oda writes about him #the more my love grows no one gets it he makes me so sad he deserves so much more my man my sweet 😭😭 #izo too........he gets there like “are you ready to die” “I've survived enough already” IZO MY LOVE 😭😭😭😭 #the wb pirates make me so sad man..... but marco and izo a million times more than anyone else sob sob they deserve better #sorry but i just had someone very angry abt what i said re vivi in my inbox so let me explain that #it was an exaggeration i wasn't being literal with it #no i do think understand specific circumstances it might have been true but i was exaggerating nontheless #very sorry the truth is i forget people actually read what i write m(._.)m #but also why be angry in my inbox I'm not even tagging these posts just unfollow me man

An average day for capri is just laying flat in the liminal and lamenting over shower thoughts for 23 straight hours

#Doranverse #capri #my art #I'm realising more and more that I have several characters I've drawn and very few of those characters have been posted about #and capris one of them lmao #he's also a villain but not really #like he joined the voidspace peeps and says he's evil but he's never really acted the part #he only joined the villain crew because his parents kept calling him evil when he was a kid #so one day he just shrugged and was like aight guess I'm evil and went to voidspace #also he's the only one who can access the liminal so whenever he goes to it to lay around none of the others can find him #and when he returns solanine prolly bullies him #also he's rarely not baked off his ass lmao

#I'm writing Baratie rn and man. Luffy's POV is so fun to write. I forgor. #I write backwards so I just finished Arlong Park b4 this after Drum Island and man... [holds him by the shoulders] you are going to Suffer #I also only wrote Luffy's POV this whole time for the climb up the mountain on drum island #And that's barely coherent because he's climbing up a mountain in a snow storm. he's in full survival determination mode #Also oh my god I haven't written one piece fanfiction since Jimbe joined the crew I'm having SO MUCH FUN #Jimbe my fucking beloved... I love him so much #Genuinely one of my fave Strawhats if not one of my fave characters OVERALL #Like he's clearly Seen Some Shit as a warlord and working with Big Mom and yet he's still in awe at the insanity of the Strawhats at times #And yet he relishes in it because they're so off the cuff but so...

star trek tng s5e5 disaster would be such a beautiful name for a babygirl btw

#HUGE fan of putting those guys in situations and this ep has truly delivered on that front #everyones so beautifully out of their depth. picard cant do anything cause hes stuck in a turbolift with 3 random kids #worf delivers keiko's baby (featuring the lifechanging line 'u may now give birth'). data is decapitated. #beverly and geordi start a plasma fire in the cargo bay and almost get vacuumed out of the ship while putting it out. #the only people with access to the bridge are deanna chief obrien ensign ro (who had just joined the enterprise crew like 2 eps before) #and another ensign who gets like 1.5 lines in total for some reason. deanna is technically in charge #but somehow has no idea how the ship works despite being a senior officer. idk that felt so weird tbh she must have had required training #plus shes surrounded by this stuff all the time and shes really quite smart like i cant believe she wouldnt have at least some idea #of whats going on. like ro literally knows way more than her so at least it doesnt stand out so much as an 'haha woman dumb' thing #however i do admit that the part where they had to spell out to her that the ship is gonna explode if they dont do anything did deliver #in terms of comedic effect #these tags r way too long and im sure no ones reading em anymore anyways but yeah. tng s5e5 what an episode ! loved it so much <33 #thots

being a gbf fan and also being in a more slice-of-life series means i get the worst of whiplashes where i’m over here, on my blog, spending all day talking about how great and pitiful characters involved in various atrocities from murder, torture, apocalypse, and worse implied horrors, and then on the same day i see a notification in my activity reblogging a post from the slice of life saga, with a content warning tag for one of the characters who’s worst crime was kidnapping with no intention of harm. 

it’s like. yeah you tag anything you need for blacklist for you but it truly is quite the timing. have you seen my blog even. 

#esp yesterday when i was raving about Sandalphon who kidnapped people with the intension of torture and murder #only for me to frame it as 'here's why he's THE little meow meow please love him with me' #i don't even call Sandy a problematic fav he's perfect and you're wrong if you think he's not #and then yesterday where the tangent was on Belial and we all know what he did. #esp me. tumblr user Icha who talks all the time about 'Belial has 0 redeeming quality but i'm cheering for him to join our crew!' #gbf really made my acceptance of crimes characters can commit ways too high #(my acceptance of crimes stops at Ferdinand type of crimes. This is my weekly reminder that this is a Ferdinand hate blog) #and then i go to slice of life stuff and i see the action that ppl find unforgiveable to be like 1% of what my favs did there #anyway no shade bc i know also it's just like probably specific for specific followers and all #but considering the crimes i was talking about yesterday let's say this took me by major surprise #ichatalks

Just watched the fuckery episode again and it’s so funny to watch Jim in the background of the duel. They literally don’t give a single fuck who wins, they’re just there for the chaos and entertainment. Sipping their drink, miming fighting moves, and looking genuinely shocked and amused when Stede wins (this all, of course, after their disemboweling skit where they were having the time of their damn life). I love them.

#there’s also a conversation to be had in this scene #about Jim being I think the only person who wasn’t excited or relieved that Stede won #they were just surprised and amused by the turn of events #and Ed really had been watching them hadn’t he? #he must have noticed this about Jim #their disconnect from Stede as a captain #and thought they would be more than happy to join his new crew #cuz Jim never really felt any loyalty or respect for Stede #they were the one crew member that didn’t remind Ed of him #unfortunately I think Ed forgot to factor in Oluwande #aka the one person where Jim’s loyalty truly lies #jim my beloved #jim jimenez

So Sanji is my favorite character in One Piece

#relatable #lol #a day in star’s wacky life #one piece #op sanji #sanji #so I just saw Sanji for the first time and immediately loved him akxksjxjsjx #I honestly thought Zoro or Usopp would be my favorite but honestly they are both okay #and I’m only saying this because 1) Zoro almost loses every fight he’s in even though he’s supposed to be a powerful swordsman #(I know he’s supposed to get stronger later but it kind of irks me that he’s being Warfed from the very beginning and I hate that) #and 2) Usopp isn’t a bad character but it took so long to get him to join their crew when they first met him that it annoyed me #like it could’ve been done in at most five episodes but they had at least two flashbacks in every episode that it took nearly ten episodes- #-for him to even think about joining their crew and it was so frustrating #and I know it’s going to be the same for Sanji because I can tell #but so far it’s pretty good and Sanji is so far my favorite

[journey-to-the-attic]

AAAAAA PIRATE AU!! Going with the idea of mermaids being a hunted species the original anon had, that gives us a reason to bring the side characters in too right? IIRC in the original event they infiltrated the Lamentation crew because there was like a bounty on their heads (as illegal pirates), because Diavolo's a lord whose land needed money... but-

Maybe in our Pirate AU Diavolo's like a naive prince, doesn't know much about the world, and Barbatos + the Purgatrio are members of the royal household. (Barb is his butler, Sol is like the court's sorcerer, Simeon is part of the royal guard, Luke's a trainee servant). Diavolo wants to win more of his father's affection, and he figures that he'll do that by capturing those famous Lamentation pirates. Except it's hella difficult to infiltrate that crew bc 1. you can't track em down, 2. they're very distrustful, 3. they're not exactly looking for new members.

Idk what the connective tissue here should be but somehow they do get acquainted with the crew, and Diavolo switches the plan to abducting IK since a prized (live) mermaid would be very valuable to the king and is easier to get than an entire pirate crew. Except it's nigh impossible to do and also now he's getting attached to his new friends and oh no IK's such a cute lil kid what's he supposed to do now--

oo cool concept!! maybe diavolo and his gang stage a shipwreck or something, where they study the lamentation crew’s movements for long enough to predict where they’ll be heading, and then pretend to have had their own boat capsize along the route they’re taking

and then the pirates aren’t heartless, so they do rescue them (and dia’s gang’s disguises are in like totally normal clothes, and the pirates don’t recognise any of them as associated with the royal family). they do keep their guard up of course, but sol was smart enough to stage their shipwreck in a place that he knows is far from land, so they’ve got plenty of time on board the boat to win the crew’s trust

and then in the process of doing this, the gang just ends up befriending them for real

#answering asks #anon asks #jtta aus #alternatively maybe diavolo's in a zuko type situation #where his dad exiled him for treason and he's trying to win back his favour by capturing the lamentation pirates #although in this case he probably wouldn't switch to the obtain mermaid plan since that doesn't seem like enough for his dad to forgive him #maybe the obtain mermaid plan just becomes part of the capture pirates plan?? #like he plans to use ik as bait since ordinarily there's like no way he and his gang could overpower the pirates #since 1. they're outnumbered and 2. only three people on dia's side can even equal any of the pirates individually in battle #in either diavolo situation the 'climax' of the story so to speak would probably involve a big battle #which could be between the pirates and the royals or could be one that forces them to ally against something else #that or the climax involves something happening that makes diavolo impulsively go through with the abduction #but then he decides against it last minute and decides he wants to leave the royalty for good #and then his gang joins up with the lamentation crew #wonder how they'll all fit onto the ship

Saw the first episode of ENT (again? I'm sure I watched... something? Years ago? I don't remember a Klingon at all?) and oh my *fans self*. I love them all. I love Trip. Phlox is my favourite doctor. Fucking. Space leeches? Genius. I fear for poor Hoshi, nobody knows how linguistics works. Archer is the worst captain. He almost died like 736 times and it was 100% his fault. Safety regulations are written in "our captain's an idiot(derogatory) and when he gets himself killed THE VULCANS WILL JUST TAKE COMMAND OF OUR SHIP AND EVERYBODY'S COOL WITH THAT?!
