Imagine Shanks turning into a cat
Tumblr media
Benn: supposedly the ruins are guarded by some sort of shapeshifting enchanter.
Shanks: I heard that and asked the locals at the bars and the marketplace, and they said there hasn't been a sighting of the creature in a few hundred years. But they all told me that no one has gone up there in a long time because they avoid it.
You: then is it really a good idea to go there?
Shanks: meh, [waggles his hand side to side] We'll probably be fine.
You: ... count me out, I don't want to risk it.
Benn: you'll lose your cut of any treasure we find.
You: that's fine, I'll look after the ship with Hongo while y'all go into the creepy ruins. [watches them leave]
Tumblr media
The next morning
You: [wakes up from someone pounding on your door]
Hongo: [yells on the other side of the door] Wake the fuck up! We have an emergency, we need all hands on deck.
You: [follows him up on deck to see the group that went to explore the ruins looking winded, tired, and dirtier than usual.] What on Earth is going on? What happened?
Benn: The villagers were right, we shouldn't have gone there to attempt to claim the treasure.
You: sounds about right
Benn: Although they were wrong about one thing, the sorcerer wasn't a shape-shifter himself. He changes other people's shapes.
You: oh gods, who got changed?
Benn: [pulls a large Somali cat out of his pack and holds him at arm's length.] Guess
You: ... is that... the boss?
Benn: [does that lipless awkward white-people smile and nods his head]
You: [takes the cat into your arms] Is he lucid?
Shanks: [thoroughly enjoying the scratches he's getting, and purring up a storm]
Benn: No idea, he's been like this for only two hours, most of which I spent running. But Yassop and Lucky Roux are in the village looking for anyone to help us, so we'll have more information soon.
Shanks: [meows loudly, and clings to your shoulder when you try to put him down]
Hongo: as a cat, he's a real mama's boy.
Tumblr media
An hour later when Yassop and Lucky Roux return
Yassop: So we found the village historian lady, who had some information for us. She said that he is a cat for all intents and purposes. He can understand us, though, which should make it easier. She showed a scroll from three hundred years ago, detailing how a bandit robbed the ruins of its treasures. For which the sorcerer changed him into some animal, forget which one, but that's not the important part. The important part is that to undo the spell, we must take the treasure back to the ruins and put it back where we found it.
Shanks: [decides this is a great time to ask for food, and makes a chewing noise with this mouth to let you know.]
You: [rolls your eyes and puts him down] Not to interrupt, but Lucky, is there any canned chicken in the kitchen?
Lucky Roux: yeah
You: Alright, follow me, captain. [goes into the kitchen and starts prepping his food]
Shanks: [meowing at you and standing up with his front paws on the cabinet door]
You: [meowing back condescendingly] You know what? I hope that old lady was right, and you still understand me, just so you know I'm mocking you.
Shanks: [bites your foot]
You: OW, fuck you [puts the plate of food on the floor and goes back out on deck] soon as that little shit is done eating, take him and the treasure straight back before he has another chance to bite me.

Our OCs for this storyline are still WIPs but here's the overall concept of the characters and story-ish
The Web is a big player in this story, an avatar of the Web[placeholder name: The Weaver] has been given the ability to influence pregnancies into being twins, utilizing this ability ties the resulting children to two Fears as well as sets each as a target for another. Whether the Weaver has control of what fears get tied/targeted or not is tbd. [Possible backstory with someone who is No Longer With Us™ that gave themselves to the Vast willingly. Has a tendency to walk by the ocean to feel close to them]
The twins[the Woven] are as follows:
The Blank Twin[Lonely aligned/Slaughter targeted]: Flat affect to an unsettling degree. Just... nothing there... That is until its late at night years after they drop out of college and they wake up shortly after falling asleep, and realize they were living in a fog that was suppressing everything about them. They pass out a couple of hours later and when they wake up, the quickly are overcome by the fog they escaped. This becomes a regular pattern shortly for them and they become an insomniac in an attempt to keep their identity. Once this happens they realize their sister is right about what is going on and begin to rebel. [I AM HERE, I AM ME, I AM] "Reflects" others in a way that makes the target start to lose their identity[this ability may surface later in their story, possibly after a short "fall from grace" where they willingly align themselves with their tied Fear]
The Knowing Twin[Eye aligned/Corruption targeted]: First of the Woven to find out about the Fears. Willingly aligns herself out of a twisted perception of control. Abusively controlling of her sibling in an attempt to keep them safe. [If we play along we can just live our lives, it doesn't matter who gets hurt] Has the ability to know what will cut the deepest emotionally, and has a tendency to lash out with it when feeling insecure [which is frequently]. Once she fully steps into her role under the eye she gains occasional premonitions, as well as remote viewing at will. Obsessed with gathering information about the Fears in an attempt to save her and her sibling.
The Burnt Twin[Desolation aligned/Spiral targeted] (former)Member of the Cult of the Lightless Flame. Can 'see' peoples potential, which led him to the Blank Twin. Is able to 'see' the fog they are under, as well as realize there us more there. Musician, former band mate of the Feral Twin. Rebellious by nature, both fueling and fueled by the Blank Twin's rebellion. Paranoid and insecure about his worth[can't see his own potential] hopeless romantic
The Rotting Twin[Corruption aligned/Stranger targeted] Obsessive narcissist, chronic victim[literally obsessed with being abused], infatuation with the Knowing Twin and doesn't understand why she keeps getting turned away. Seeks out abusive partners to get her 'fix', feels like a drug to her. Furious about her brother"s involvement in the cult as well as his exit from it. Thinks he is flakey and inconsistent [which he kind of is]. Long term abusive friendship with the Mad Twin
The Wrong Twin[Stranger aligned/Lonely targeted(overcomes this with the Blank Twin's help)] Experienced the effects of his targeting from a very young age, born disfigured and othered as a result. Isolated and neglected by his family, demonized by his sister the Mad Twin. Joins the Blank Twin in their 'rebellion' after finally feeling accepted. Extreme self esteem issues.
The Mad Twin[Spiral aligned/Eye targeted/(eventually) Lonely targeted] Complete lack of empathy, highly manipulative and ruthlessly cruel. Doesn't see others as people, only as tools. She thinks she's in control of the narrative/story but is sorely mistaken. Thinks she's the mastermind of this whole ordeal. 'Manipulated' the Knowing Twin into telling her all that she found out about the situation, or so she thinks. Toys with the Rotting Twin for fun
The Feral Twin[Slaughter aligned/Hunt targeted] Famous musician with a violent streak, always seems to get out of trouble/allegations. Pisses off his brother because of his tendency to put his penchant for violence on display in grand scale.
The Stalking Twin[Hunt aligned/Desolation targeted] Obsessive serial killer, stalker, and all around Stand Up Guy™. Keeps a low profile and takes great pride in his stalking abilities. Prefers sniping/'clean' kills but has a tendency to lose control when under stress [which because of his brother is pretty often] and thats when things get messy. Despite his insistence that he prefers the controlled methodology, he deeply enjoys letting loose and hates that it is so contrary to what needs to happen for him to stay a free man.
Relationships will be a separate post ^_^ will go more in depth as the characters are fleshed out more.

God I love Gertrude Robinson. You spend the season one convinced she was history's biggest ignoramus then it turns out she'd spent decades travelling the world and walking right up to whichever eldritch monster made out of nightmares was trying to cause the apocalypse this week; and then she'd do the equivalent of schpritzing it like a misbehaving cat, which usually involved murder. And she did it all while serving flawless strict librarian realness

Imagine Katakuri getting a crush on you and Big mom arranging a marriage between you two
Tumblr media
Big Mom: -takuri... Katakuri!
Katakuri: *snaps out of his day dream* Oh yes, Mama
Big Mom: where were you, you've been distracted during meetings for days.
Katakuri: It's nothing, sorry mama, it won't happen again. I have some paper work to attend to, may I please be excused?
Big Mom: yes.
Daifuku: *soon as Katakuri leaves* I believe he's fallen in love, Mama.
Big Mom: Ehh, with whom?
Perospero: With (y/n), they attended your last tea party with their father, who owns the largest vanilla orchard in the world.
Big Mom: really? Are they single?
Daifuku: I ... I'm not sure, Mama.
Big Mom: I'll look into it then, in the meantime look after your brother, make sure he keeps up with his work.
Perospero and Daifuku: Yes Mama.
Daifuku: *once Big Mom is out of ear shot* Did we just sign Katakuri up to get married.
Persopero: Probably, you know how mama is about securing ingredients for sweets. And unfortunately for our dear brother, vanilla is found in most sweets, from angel food cake to zingers.
Daifuku: but what if (y/n)'s father doesn't agree to join and marry of his only child?
Persopero: If that happens Mama will do a hostile take over, and either marry or give (y/) to Katakuri.
Tumblr media
Later at Big Mom's residence
Katakuri: *arrives for a meeting only to find you in the conference room* Oh, what are you doing here?
You: My father has agreed to join your pirate group, and to marry me off into your family.
Katakuri: * sits next to you* ... Do you know who you'll be marrying?
You: not yet, but that's what this meeting is about.
Katakuri: *knows his mother only invites the child she wants to marry off to these meetings but doesn't want to scare you* no mater who you marry, I'll make sure you're taken care of and have everything your heart desires.
You: *gives him a weak smile* Thank you, Kata, you wouldn't believe relieved I am to hear that.
Katakuri: *extends his hand for you to hold* Mama, should be here soon.
You: *takes his hand and squeezes it with trembling hands*
Katakuri: You're shaking.
You: I've... just never not been under my father's protection, and I'm scared.... but I do feel better with you here with me.
Katakuri: *rubs the back of your hand with his thumb* Really? Even though we've only met a handful of times in the part?
Big Mom: *kicks open the door* (y/n)! I'm so glad you could come... Oh, I see you've already met your betrothed.
Katakuri: Me!?
Big Mom: *glared* You like them, don't you?
Katakuri: *blushes* mama! Please let's not embarrass me in front of our guest.
Big Mom: mmmr, very well, since you two are already getting acquainted I'll leave you to it. ... Oh, by the way the wedding is in five days. *Leaves*
Katakuri: Five days until we're married... *flops back into his chair and is lost in thought, coming to grips with the fact that he is to be married.*
You: ... I'm sorry about this I don't know what my father was thinking offering me up like this.
Katakuri: He didn't offer you up, Mama offered me up first. Mainly to gain your father's orchard, but that is beside the point. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. You probably won't be moved into my house until after the wedding, but I can have my sisters look after you.
You: You mean you won't be staying with me?
Katakuri: *takes your hands into his and presses them to his lips through his scarf* No, but only because I need to work double time, so you can have me all to yourself during our honeymoon.
You: ⁄⁠(⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠☉⁄⁠-⁠⁄⁠☉⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠)⁠⁄
Katakuri: *realizes how that sounded* Not that we have to do anything during our honeymoon that you don't want.... I'm going to go start on my work, I'll have Brûlée come and get you settled into your rooms, in the meantime please wait here.
You: Okay, and for the record, I look forward to... to having you all to myself during our honeymoon, if you catch my drift.
Katakuri: ⁠ ⁄⁠(⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠•⁄⁠ロ⁠⁄⁠•⁄⁠ ⁠'⁄⁠)⁠⁄

ok. years have passed and we've had some distance, so i'm finally gonna take the leap of faith that tma fandom is finally ready to hear me on this. let's talk about tannins.
161 was the first tma episode i heard on early release, and i felt the bit where martin declines wine and cites tannins was pretty obvious in its implications. cool, got it, say no more.
imagine my surprise when i was one of maybe three people i saw read between the lines there, in a fandom famous for red stringing--a fandom that immediately caught the much less obvious thread of ignition sources in the same episode. i'll spell it out: alcohol is an issue for martin.
maybe it just felt obvious because addiction is a pet issue for me--as it is for jonny, who has said everything he writes is filtered through a lens of addiction. i don't know if that's due to his own experience or a loved one's, and i won't speculate; i also don't know if martin personally struggled with drinking or just avoids it for fear he would, but alcohol would fit what we know of his family. his dad walking out and his mum spiralling into bitter wallowing and verbal abuse? i'd bet one or both of them drank, yeah.
on a basic level martin tries to decline alcohol, and that alone should have raised eyebrows given what we know of martin and, again, a fandom that dissects everything. we already knew martin "K" blackwood lied about his personal life and his family in particular, especially pre-canon, which is when this flashback took place. i was shocked that everyone took his flimsy excuse at face value with no further questions.
and the excuse is flimsy. martin turns down wine by--nervously--exclaiming tannins are "a proven headache trigger!" which sounds like trivia from a magazine cover and not the words of someone who actually has headaches--and it hasn't come up before or since. jon, confused, points out that tea, a drink martin consumes to a degree that is memetic both in- and out-of-universe, also contains tannins, and martin squawks a panicked, "what?!"
if tannins are enough of a concern for martin that he knew they're in wine and so avoids it, why didn't he know they're in his drink of choice? why does he still drink tea at the time of canon, and why doesn't he struggle with constant headaches from consuming 'a proven headache trigger' day in and day out? why, indeed, would someone avoid wine and not tea?
when sasha insists martin drink he caves and agrees to 'just a drop'. i imagine him pouring it in a plant, which admittedly he could have done if tannins really were the issue. i will say that i, for one, would be less likely to falsely agree to something that makes me physically ill than to a private issue that i'd rather not be pressed on any further. this scene also establishes martin's birthday was an ice cream party instead of the more traditional visit to a pub.
also, this scene was in the first episode of the final season, as one of three flashbacks that could have been to any pre-canon event in the archives. prime narrative real estate. not really time one would waste on establishing the important character context that martin has... headaches. which never comes up before or after, even regarding the week he spent in spiral town. but you know what is pretty crucial character background...?
it felt like a no-brainer, and yet all i saw was h/c fluff about jon attending to martin's headaches. and i hate feeling bitter about disability representation. i want folks with chronic headaches to feel seen and have fluffy escapist fantasies. i don't want to be mad about people portraying a character with a disability. but, guys? you got the wrong disability. jonny sent a clear message, and it went over fandom's head.
