...a kiss for Roronoa Zoro out of habit
You and Zoro had never meant to keep this a secret. It wasn't something you were trying to hide, or to stop the crew from ever knowing. You were both just very private people, and always the last two left at the end of the night as the rest crew all went their separate ways.
You, as much as anyone, could appreciate Zoro's desire to stay in whatever bar you were docked beside until the place was closed and the owner had to politely ask you to leave through muffled yawns. You loved the Going Merry, and all the people that lived aboard, but when you spent so much time at sea you grew to savour every minute spent on dry land in a change of scenery with someone other than Sanji fetching you whatever the local drink of the region was. You knew Zoro did too, the slight variety that a change of scenery provided gave him more joy than he would admit to anyone but you.
So you formed a little routine. The two of you would stay out until all the local places had closed, and then you'd walk the long way back to the ship, exchanging stories and admiring whatever little details you could find to ground yourselves in each quaint town. You couldn't remember exactly which island had the intricately cobbled streets that almost knocked you off your feet, but after that you and Zoro never left a bar without your hand safely enclosed in his. You were sure the night breeze was comfortingly warm the first time you noticed just how many glances Zoro threw your way as you walked, gaze flickering between your entangled hands and your moonlit lips. And you would never forget the first time that instead of the long goodbye outside your cabin door that you had grown accustomed to, he had just leant forward and placed his lips on yours. He only kissed you for a split second before he withdrew, testing the waters neither of you could bring yourselves to acknowledge, relieved when you plunged back in and dragged his lips back onto yours, fingers combing through his short spiked hair.
Without ever putting a name to your bond, you two fell into an effortless routine of those sweet good night embraces while the rest of your crew slept. It became such a fundamental part of your life that in the nights you spent at sea Zoro would still find his way to your door when the sky grew dark, neither of you able to pass a restful night without that shared moment of desperate need. His strong hands firmly holding onto you as if you could drift away, his touch-starved soul aching for you in every moment you spent apart. Zoro prayed every night as he finally tasted your loving kiss that the sensation would fill his dreams, and give him strength enough to make it to another sunset before he could kiss you again.

After a particularly tireless battle one evening, the crew had gathered on the deck of the Going Merry to toast to the island they had just visited with a case of wine gifted by some very grateful locals. It had been too long since the whole crew had passed a night of merriment together, Luffy and Usopp dramatically retelling the best moments of their adventures while Nami laughed on and Sanji kept everyone's glasses topped up to the brim. You and Zoro settled side by side on the makeshift benches Luffy had quickly hobbled together for the occasion, exchanging warm smiles every time your heroics of the day were recalled by the two quarreling captains. It wasn't long until you felt the flush of wine in your cheeks, and a heaviness growing in your eyelids that was getting harder to fight back.
"You look as exhausted as I am!" Nami laughed out through a yawn, Luffy bursting into laughter as you immediately followed with a yawn of your own. Your friend and navigator rose to her feet, circling to stand behind you and resting one hand on your shoulder as she said more quietly, "I think it's time we both headed to bed."
You nodded at her suggestion, suddenly feeling the ache of exhaustion spreading through your bones now that it had been pointed out.
"Great party crew! But now I must say good night." You declared dramatically, stifling another yawn that set Nami off again. Before you rose to your feet you turned to face the swordsman nestled beside you, who quickly leant forward to capture your lips in a soft and sweet good night kiss. It was just a momentary embrace, a habit that had grown necessary to both of your nights, and with that you stood up and followed Nami towards the cabins. A moment of still hung over the night as the two of you stepped through the first door separating you from the others just as Sanji and Usopp cried out in unison,
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"
"Nami, did I just kiss Zoro in front of everyone?" You asked without daring to glance her way.
"Yup!" She chirped back without an ounce of shock in her voice, a far cry to the chorus of voices calling out behind you.
"Why aren't you surprised, Nami?"
"Because I've walked past you two kissing half a dozen times. Sometimes I like to make tea at night when Sanji's not around to pester me, and you two have absolutely no sense of your surroundings whenever you're together." She shrugged nonchalantly, unlocking the door across from yours.
"I'd say we won't make a habit of it.." You started your sentiment alone before Nami joined, "but it's too late for that."

he acts like he doesn't care about you when you first meet, but he'sย definitelyย sizing you up, trying to figure out your quirk and how useful you'll be to the league.
your first real conversation is probably him sarcastically asking if youโre sure youโre in the right place, followed by a cutting remark about your villain name.
heย secretlyย respects a good villain name, though. if yours is clever, it gets you a few points in his book.
if your quirk complements his in some way (like you can create flammable substances or help control his flames), he'll beย intrigued, but he'll never let you know that outright. he'll just suddenly be around you more often during training or missions.
heโll make a rude joke about your villain outfit and then make a comment about how you should โtry harderโ if you want to make it past this league.
he'd never admit it, but your dedication to villainy is a huge turn-on for him. seeing you embrace the darker side of yourself is...ย interesting.
he'll pick fights with you, not because he hates you, but because he wants to see you use your quirk. itโs also his weird way of flirting.
you'll catch him staring at you sometimes when he thinks you're not looking, especially after you've successfully pulled off a particularly brutal or clever move.
he pretends to be annoyed when you ask him for help or advice, but he secretly enjoys it. it's a chance to show off his knowledge and power.
heโll start leaving small โgiftsโ for you: stolen items that he thinks you might find useful or amusing. it could be anything from a rare explosive to a vintage lighter to a particularly disturbing news clipping.
if someone else flirts with you, he'll becomeย dangerously territorial. he might not say anything directly, but he'll make his displeasureย veryย clear with a chilling glare or a well-placed threat.
he always seems to know when you are in trouble, often appearing out of nowhere to (reluctantly) help you. He'll deny it if you thank him.
the first time he accidentally touches you (maybe during a training exercise), he'll flinch away like he's been burned, even if it's just a brush of your hands. heโll pretend it's because he doesn't want to get close to anyone, but really, he's just flustered.
dating dabi isย intense. it's not all sunshine and roses. expect a lot of angst, brooding, and philosophical debates about the nature of heroism and villainy.
he's not good with physical affection at first. maybe a fleeting touch or a hand on your shoulder. it takes time for him to get comfortable with more.
heโll only show you his soft side when youโre alone. think quiet moments where he lets his guard down and actuallyย talksย to you about his past (but only in vague terms, of course).
heโs fiercely protective of you, but heโll never coddle you. he believes in your strength and will push you to become even stronger.
his love language is acts of service. he might not say "i love you," but he'll always make sure you have everything you need to succeed in your villainous endeavors.
he'll open up to you,ย eventually, about his past as touya. but it'll be a slow, painful process, filled with anger and resentment. be patient with him.
he'll test you, constantly. he needs to know that you're loyal, that you understand him, and that you're not going to abandon him like everyone else in his life.
dates consist of arson. maybe robbing a place, maybe blowing up a building thatโs endeavorโs.
he'll find a "comfortable spot" that he isn't burning hot, and let you touch him there.
he finds comfort in hearing about your plans for the future, even if theyโre incredibly violent. just knowing you're thinking about the future at all is comforting to him.
he might buy you jewelry he steals from the heroes he kills.
he will start trying to control his flames, but he will never be able to completely. he will always have a small fire burning somewhere on his skin.
he hates cuddling but he doesn't complain when you rest your head against his chest, as long as it's over his clothes.
he finds it hard to smile so his way of showing you he is happy is through a small nod.
you'll be one of the few people who see him smile. it's rare, but when it happens, it's genuine and surprisingly beautiful.
youโre his anchor. youโre the reason he keeps fighting, the reason he hasnโt completely succumbed to the darkness. heโd never admit it out loud, but youโre the most important thing in his life.

I don't believe in God but I believe in being a good person. I'll share your link.
Ngl I hate Boa Hancock. I get that she has a traumatic past but that does not excuse her for being one of the worst women in the show.
"Everyone will always forgive me because I'm beautiful!"
Shut. Up. No one cares! Yes, you are objectively beautiful but your personality is shit. She literally doesn't care about anyone but herself and maybe her two sisters. I don't count Luffy because he was SEVENTEEN when they met and she "fell in love with him". Fyi Hancock was 29 when they met. Yeah, proclaim your undying love for a MINOR, that makes sense. So, not only is she incredibly selfish and self-centered, she's in love with a minor. That's not creepy at all.
Most definitely. Love him so much!
Yes
Luffy: Sanji why's there a spray bottle in the fridge?
Sanji: It's so I can do this.
Sanji: *grabs spray bottle and sprays Zoro*
Zoro: What the hell?!
Sanji: Take a shower dirty marimo!
I have an original story that I have been planning for a few years now. It was originally a joint project with someone but we had a falling out and now it's so far removed from what is was originally.
It was going to be a cross between Hellsing and Black Butler, but me and the other person had a falling out and now I have no idea what I'm looking at anymore.
I don't know what to do. On one hand, I have the new story that's a revenge plot with romance. On the other, I have the original which was going to be a girl and her vampire butler solving mysteries and fighting a cult.
Should I write both?
Prev: Non-Lethal Injury Ideas
Need some creative ways to give your characters a real fight for survival? Here are 10 ideas:ย
1. Punctured Artery
A puncture to major arteries like the femoral artery (thigh), the carotid artery (neck), or radial artery (arm) can cause rapid blood loss. It starts off with a sharp pain, weakness, lightheadedness and eventually can lead to hypovolemic shock. Requires urgent medical attention.
2. Punctured Eye Socket
A punctured eye socket will cause blood vessel damage leading to internal bleeding. I would use this for non-combat characters trying to get away. The eyes are an easy weak spot + you donโt need much strength to cause a critical injury/puncture.ย Also good for a protag's tragic backstory.
3. Torn Achilles Tendon
A torn Achilles tendon can result in severe bleeding if nearby arteries or veins are damaged. Your character will be forced to hobble away as pain causes their foot to swell and bruise. Plus, you can easily adjust the pain levels per your scene, from swift cuts to explosive jumps.ย
4. Neck Hyperextension (Hangmanโs Fracture)
This injury will fracture the C2 vertebra and can lead to spinal cord damage, paralysis or sudden death. This isnโt a light injury your character can come back from, so I would suggest using it only when youโre aiming for death.
5. Pierced Lung
A punctured lung will lead to a pneumothorax where air escapes into the chest cavity, collapsing the lung. Characters with this injury may have difficulty breathing, chest pain, and a cough that produces frothy blood (all the dramatics you need).ย
6. Severe Concussion
A severe concussion will lead to confusion, vomiting, immobility and memory loss. More dangerously, brain swelling, internal bleeding and damaged brain tissue. Plus, it has a long recovery period.ย
7. Shattered Pelvis
If you need something severe that restricts mobility but also causes severe pain then this is perfect! Involves signs of shock, internal bleeding, numbness, swellingโreally a lot of things.ย Can occur if OC falls from a high place, hit repeatedly, car accident, etc. ย
8. Internal Bleeding from Blunt Force Trauma
I like using this when you need something subtle since it doesn't show immediate symptoms.ย Over time, they will feel weak, cold, nauseous, and intense pain. Perfect if you want that 'everyone made it out then suddenly someone collapses' moment.ย
9. Intestinal Perforation
A sharp blow or penetrating wound can cause a tear in the intestines, leaking bacteria into the body cavity, then peritonitis. It can go from small stomach pain to near death pretty quickly. Without prompt medical care, sepsis can set in, causing organ failure and death.
10. Cut to the Jugular
If you need something more visibly dramatic then go with the classic cut to the jugular. A warm rush of blood will pour out, and blood would spurt with every heartbeat. Causes panic, choking, and internal bleeding too. All the blood and gore you need.ย
This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. Remember the worse the injury the more likely your character is to die (so be realistic folks). Happy writing! :)

When crafting a fictional world, it's easy to focus on the big pictureโepic battles, grand landscapes, and memorable characters. However, itโs also important to flesh out your world-building to create a โrealโ world. Some aspects to consider when world-building are:ย
1. Local Cuisine
Consider the types of food your characters eat and how it reflects their culture, geography, and economy. Unique dishes can reveal societal values and local ingredients.
2. Currency & Trade
Explore the forms of currency used and the trade systems in place. This can include bartering, precious metals, or unique items as currency, influencing economic interactions.
3. Timekeeping Practices
Different cultures may have their own methods for measuring time, whether it's a unique calendar system, seasons, or celestial events, affecting daily life and traditions.
4. Cultural Taboos
Consider the unspoken rules and taboos that govern behavior in your world. These can drive conflict and character motivations, adding depth to societal interactions.
5. Local Flora and Fauna
Unique plants and animals can shape the environment and influence the culture, whether through medicine, food sources, or as part of local mythology.
6. Rituals and Festivals
Incorporate unique rituals or festivals that celebrate historical events, seasonal changes, or important life milestones, providing insight into cultural values and traditions.
7. Language Nuances
Explore dialects, slang, or even the use of sign language that reflects the culture and social dynamics, enriching dialogue and interactions between characters.
8. Architecture and Housing Styles
The design and materials of buildings can reflect climate, resources, and cultural values. Unique architectural features can tell a story about the society that built them.
9. Social Hierarchies and Classes
Examine how social structures affect character relationships and interactions. Class distinctions can influence everything from daily life to political power.
10. Environmental Impact
Consider how the natural environment shapes societal behaviours, resource usage, and conflicts. Climate and geography can drive migration patterns and societal development.
