the funniest thing about this is that it's Zoro's bubble, not Luffy's- and yet he's the one who gets to have most of the space inside, both of his wings are making themselves as small as possible so the captain can sway his legs on their way back to the ship... they're forever standing on business fr (always being Luffy enablers)
interesting to me that both tak and zim, in spite of each one's individual variety of standoffish, prideful demeanor, react with sullen ambivalence (down to the single unimpressed blink) to being picked up. considering both of them were in irken military training previously i kind of wonder if this is a common asshole move pulled towards short irkens in sufficiently informal or unmonitored environments
You could play with the dirty part of the canon description by having Slash and his people roll in mud to hide their scent.
Parts of the Code labelling using weapons/traps as dishonorable could have started as agreements made that Slash's people wouldn't keep using their old tactics, maybe forced on Thunder's Clan to keep them from becoming too powerful, if they DID fuse.
I'm more liable to just remove the "dirty" thing entirely honestly; I just think it's so shitty I'd like to nuke it from orbit, you get me? Every single time they want you to hate someone, they make them fat and/or stinky. I'd rather just put that kind of rhetoric in the mouths of cats like Clear Sky and The Wind Runner, a lie to demonize their enemies, not really based on truth.
I think I might take the trap stuff though; that actually fits in nicely with how ThunderClan's the only one that uses spears. I won't have it be code yet, though, that's going to come a lot later. First two commandments of the code are Borders + Mercy, followed by Law 3 when Riverstar dies in some decades.
Also gonna need a name for Slash's new group. Hey, maybe THESE guys can be called Warriors, actually. Warriors of the Forest, like what the first arc used to be called before it was renamed TPB.
Look who came fashionably early! This thing was pre-ordered back in like October and he's a lot bigger than I thought he'd be...OH WELL HE'S STILL BABY 💙🩵💙
Sandman: It’s just so hard not getting to see my little girl
Otto, who stole some of Spidey’s DNA to combine with his to make a kid to use against him, lex luthor style, but Spidey just kidnapped the kid immediately when he found out and got Matt to cover him legally: I know exactly how you feel, Spiderman won’t even let me have visitations with my kid :(
Sandman:
Sandman: That is not the same thing, our situations are not comparable at all, it’s important to me that you know that
