Ok, I was listening to something and got thinking about Zoro in the East Blue Asylum wing au.
He has to take an extra pill for his aggressive tendencies and paranoia (which is an unfortunate combination, especially for the people who have to hold him down when something happens. He's pretty strong even though he can't train properly within the facility and when he jumps to a fight he wreaks havoc. Not to mention that Sanji is one of the few people who stop him from fights, as he jumps every time Luffy does, which is pretty often.) The problem with the pills is that he hates taking them. He usually hides them under his tongue and then throws them out when no one's watching (or gives them to Brook, who loves the calm feeling they give him because he believes that corpses (as he sees himself) need to rest and be in peace.)
But on the rare occasions when he does take the pills, he gets drowsy and extremely passive. He usually just broods in the corner but after the pills, he's almost like a plant. Sanji, because of past trauma and his extreme fear of authority figures, often asks Zoro to take his pills because they could get into trouble. Zoro finds it hard to tell him 'no'. The only other people he would take the pills for were Luffy and Chopper. But Luffy loved that Zoro hated all the rules as much as he did. And Chopper assumed that Zoro was calm because he was already medicated and it was the medicine at work that made him well-behaved.
The first time he made him take them, he watched him do it to make sure he was obeying the rules and all. They were huddled in the corner and Sanji was just talking about anything and everything but at one point he realized that Zoro wasn't responding. He freaked out and was on the verge of a panic attack when Nami rushed over to reassure him it was okay and that it was just the pills.
"It's okay, it's okay. Look, his eye is still moving." She pointed out.
And sure enough, there he was - slouched and looking at Sanji. His face was expressionless but there was an odd kind of calmness to him. Nami took both their hands and put them in one another (essentially making them hold hands.) Zoro squeezed his hand. It reassured Sanji a bit, but he still refused to leave his side for the rest of the day.
Some of the doctors and nurses didn't like that the east blue wing was starting to become so codependent. They thought that it was an unhealthy coping mechanism but on Dr. Chopper's request, none of them were separated. Until the experiment they did with Dr. Kuma, that was...
Zoro sometimes gets visited by his sister and father. When he argues with his sister he seems more normal than what he acts like with the doctors or nurses. Some of them suspect that he got better a while ago but is faking his illnesses now just so he can stay with his "crew". Ironically enough would be another thing they'd have to try and "medicate" him from.
(I'm thinking of posting some EBAW au sketches for 300 followers maybe? Idk we'll see when we get there ;))

i was tagged (on my main @tsunadesenju) by @winterberryholly literally like a week ago omg oops but i was working on Cut From the Dullest Knife today so here’s my long experimental run-on sentence about Tenten struggling with depression that i’m probably gonna end up deleting lol
Please share your last sentence; or, if you don't have one, share a plot bunny or idea!
She is a joke of a shinobi and a joke of a person and she is wailing, unable to stop the sobs that escape from her throat, so pained that her cats start to freak out, sprinting around the apartment, so loud that in only a few minutes she hears Sasuke’s soft-knuckled rapt on her bedroom window, which only makes her cries grow louder and more sorrowful, because why is Sasuke of all people, whose been through so much more suffering than she could ever imagine, who has his own shit to deal with and work through, who has even stronger bonds with other people that he could be hanging out with, who surely has better things to do with his time, why is he trying to check on her?
gentle/low pressure tag to @chaosnojutsu and @cr3sswellsgf

I call, and you don’t answer
I smile through the burning
It’s fine
It’s fine
I call, and you don’t answer
I breathe deep against the tide
It’s fine
It’s fine
I call, and you don’t answer
I grit my teeth against the silence
It’s fine
It’s fine
You call, and I answer immediately
And the smoke spells out my name
And the water lifts me higher
And the quiet gives way to caucophony
You call, and I am made new
I call, and you don’t answer.
It’s fine
It’s fine
