I'm writing a modern au Law×oc and I am torn on something. Corazon. I dunno if I want him alive or not. Like, I want to give Law a break but also, I dunno how much it would change his over-all personality. My fellow Law lovers, what do y'all think?
synopsis: one piece characters worst fears in a relationship feat: straw hats (luffy, zoro, nami, usopp, sanji, robin) + ace and law warnings: angst + slight spoiler for ace's past notes: i honestly was a bit stuck for law's part so bear with me PLEASE also yeah not me finally posting things after ages sorry pookies
losing you.
LUFFY'S worst fear is that when worst comes to worst, he won't be able save you when you need him the most.
although he always tries to protect you, LUFFY has experienced losing loved ones before because he wasn't strong enough, and he never wants it to happen again. he loves everyone in his life so much, especially you, and never wants to lose them. but what if one day he slips up and the cost is losing you forever?
not being able to protect you.
ZORO'S unwavering loyalty to those he cares about means that he has made it his sworn mission to protect them at all times. in fact, that's practically his main role in the crew - to protect everyone from danger, so he believes he has to always do this right.
he works hard to protect those he cares about, and would never be able to forgive himself if he let something happen to you or was too late to protect you from danger.
he can't predict the future and he can't guarantee your safety at all times, and he hates it. he knows how unpredictable life is and that anything could happen at any moment, which makes him scared of what could happen to you.
being powerless when you need her the most.
NAMI knows what it's like to have no one there to save you or protect you when you're in pain, suffering or in danger. thankfully, she found her way out thanks to her friends, but what if she can't help you?
when it comes to someone she cares about, she can't just rest easy when they need help because she hates seeing those she loves in pain. despite what people think, she would be ready to go above and beyond for someone she loves. she wants to do whatever she can as soon as she can to help you, and she fears that something could happen and make this impossible for her to do.
being replaced by somebody else.
USOPP wants to believe that he's just the guy you need, but he can't ignore his insecurities that tell him that he's useless and weak all the time. and this feeds into his biggest fear when being with you.
while you don't have an issue with his flaws, to him, his 'negative' qualities and weaknesses mean that he is easy to abandon. he feels like you being with him is just holding yourself back from something - or someone - better.
his worst fear is that you'll have had enough of the 'weak' parts of him, and that one day, you'll get tired of him and just replace him with someone else.
being a burden to you.
SANJI doesn't just love you - he practically worships your entire being and sees you as flawless and capable of no wrong. he sees you as someone who deserves only the best and nothing less. in comparison, he sees himself as someone who deserves basically nothing.
although you offer warm smiles in his direction and constantly assure him how much you care about him, he can't possibly understand how you could ever love a 'failure' like him.
he hates himself for thinking it, but he sometimes is afraid that your feelings are just fake or out of pity for someone like him. his biggest, worst fear is that he's just a burden to you and someone you're wasting your time on - and that and one day, you'll let him know it by just leaving him for good.
you giving up on her.
ROBIN'S worst fear, in a way, is a little similar to sanji's. she doesn't want to be a burden to you because she can't forget how she was treated her whole life. people around her treated her like a nuisance and a monster just for her existence and where she came from, making her feel like she had nowhere to belong.
it's something she's been trying to unlearn ever since joining the crew, and she knows it's not very likely, but her worst fear is that you won't see her as someone worth fighting for, protecting, or loving anymore. instead, you too will see her as someone who doesn’t belong anywhere.
she's afraid that you'll see her just as how everyone has in her past - a devil whose existence only brings trouble to everyone.
you stop loving him.
ACE has always felt like love is something that needs to be earned, especially for him. sometimes, he can't even believe how lucky he is to have someone like you - someone who doesn't care about the blood that flows in his veins because you know that doesn't matter to who he is.
however, his biggest fear is what happens if that love diminishes for good. he's afraid you'll start to be remember who he exactly is - the son of the world's biggest criminal, the pirate king himself. he's scared that you'll find him a nuisance to be associated with, and stop loving him altogether because of it.
disappointing you.
LAW knows that he isn't very openly affectionate and that he struggles to show his his feelings at times, making him appear closed-off and cold to others. although he does know that he really and truly loves you - his worst fear is disappointing you in the relationship because you may feel like he doesn't.
he knows what a healthy and loving relationship is supposed to look like and how other people show love, but he's afraid that he'll fail you by not being able to give you that. he hates the thought of letting you down when you deserve so much better than he is.
While lethal injuries often take center stage, non-lethal injuries can create lasting effects on characters, shaping their journeys in unique ways. If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain during a scene, here are some ideas:
Sprained Ankle
A common injury that can severely limit mobility, forcing characters to adapt their plans and experience frustration as they navigate their environment.
Rib Contusion
A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult and create tension, especially during action scenes, where every breath becomes a reminder of vulnerability.
Concussion
This brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment and creating a sense of unpredictability in their actions.
Fractured Finger
A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills, causing frustration and emphasizing a character’s dependence on their hands.
Road Rash
The raw, painful skin resulting from a fall can symbolize struggle and endurance, highlighting a character's resilience in the face of physical hardship.
Shoulder Dislocation
This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation.
Deep Laceration
A cut that requires stitches can evoke visceral imagery and tension, especially if the character has to navigate their surroundings while in pain.
Burns
Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma, serving as a physical reminder of a character’s past mistakes or battles.
Pulled Muscle
This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, providing an opportunity for characters to experience frustration or the need to lean on others for support.
Tendonitis
Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted, highlighting their struggle to adapt and overcome.

falling for you m.list | rules
pairing. one piece x reader
characters. zoro, law, sanji, ace
note. i haven't write with those boys since so long but i'm so back in one piece so be ready to see them! please request with anyone from one piece <3
Zoro
you might be the only one not aware of what is going on between him and you
he doesn’t care much though, it’s fine by him to stay like this
he’s always keeping an eye on you during a fight, just to be sure
he knows you can defend yourself well, but he can’t help it
he lets you steal his food without arguing much, which is weird because he tries to kill Luffy each time he tries
the crew teases him about it but he brushes them off everytime
he’s a big shy boy, but he just doesn’t care if anyone knows about his feelings for you
he has a huge soft spot for you and he doesn’t even tries to hide it
there’s no real realization because he knows why he’s doing this
he would die for anyone in the crew, but he would definitely burn the world down if you asked him to
Law
realization hits HARD
he’s not the type to show a lot of emotion, at least he wasn’t until he began to travel with the strawhats
and you? you get him stressed
he didn’t realize it until robin pointed it to him
maybe she wasn’t wrong, but no way he would admit it like this
yes he lets you stay around him a lot, even allowing you to touch him without complaining too much
and yes you’re always stealing his coat when you’re cold and he doesn’t bother him
but falling for you? no way
he can’t be falling for someone, especially not you
yet, he can’t take the idea out of his mind since robin’s words
he notices the way you scrunch your nose when you smile
or how your face lights up at the idea of visiting a new island
you’re adorable, and his heart can’t take it
damn, maybe he’s down bad finally
Sanji
he loves women so much so his behavior isn’t questioned a lot at first
he’s a simp, it’s not weird that he’s treating you better than anyone else
until he began to prioritize you over everyone else
even the other girls
makes your favorite dessert all the time
even asks you what you want to eat and does his best to make it with what he have
nami is the first one to talk about it, and he feels his heart stop at the thought
is he really in love? like, real love
he’s a romantic guy, that’s it, he can’t be feeling those things
he can’t, right?
but the way you’re so gentle with him, never pushing him away when he treats you like the most precious thing on the sea
well, he realizes he might feel something more for you
Ace
the boy is blind, even more than you are
he’s naturally clingy and touchy with people, a joyful boy
yet, he seems worse with you
he always keeps an arm around your shoulder, talking you about his dear brother a lot
when he falls asleep out of nowhere, it’s usually on your shoulder or even falling on your back
the day he was drunk and put his hat on top of your head? everyone knew it was over
if anyone tries to tell him about it, he just stays with his eyes open wide in shock
he blinks a few times, slowly processing the words
a shrug of shoulders and he just accepts it like this
fine, perhaps he’s in love, but so what?
he doesn’t change anything, it just means he can be even closer to you than before
thank you!
hawks who's favorite past time is laying his head on your thighs and having you play with his hair. exhausted from a day full of hero nonsense that was a complete afterthought the second he's landing on the balcony of your apartment, pulling the sliding glass door open and stepping into the cozy space you two call home. shrugging off piece by piece of his hero costume as they're laid strewn about in the path he takes to the bedroom where you were sitting up in bed. keigo's muscle visibly relax just from the sight of his gorgeous girlfriend, his wings lax and unfolded from his back, and he doesn't say anything as he's falling on the bed. making his way to you on the comfortable spacious mattress before his head is snuggling against your stomach and he releases one deep exhale. making a pleasant sound the second your hand threads through his wind swept, wheat blond locks after pulling the covers up and over his body. you're the only one who gets to see this side of him, the relaxed and comfortable version of himself. the real keigo, whom wouldn't trade you — the love of his life — for the world.
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!
#writing tips
good traits gone bad - Part III
Ambitiousness - While ambitiousness is generally seen as a positive trait, driving individuals towards achieving their goals and aspirations, there can be a downside if it becomes excessive. An ambitious character can come across as ruthless.
Optimism - Optimism can lead to increased happiness and resilience, but not if it becomes unrealistic. Excessive optimism can lead individuals to underestimate potential risks or challenges, which can result in poor decision-making.
Diligence - Constantly working diligently without proper breaks can lead to burn out. Diligence can also mean that the person is not able to bend strict rules, but rather makes sure to follow them. It can make them resistance to change.
synopsis: where they are most physically affectionate feat: luffy, zoro, sanji (monster trio) warnings: none! just fluff here 🫂 notes: i feel like turning these into short fics/drabbles in the future perchance 😝 also i had rihanna's loveeeeeee song in my head AHH
arms
he's not just dangling off of your arms, he's wrapped around you at all times. LUFFY is known to be a huge hugger and this is no exception when it comes to a relationship.
he loves the feeling of being able to hold you close and the warmth of nuzzling against your skin, especially after a long day of fighting and adventuring. he's very jumpy and active, so this kind of affection in a way calms him down.
after you accomplish something big, or even after a small moment of excitement he's already diving into your arms for a big hug, whether you like it or not! or even if it's nothing at all, he likes to hug you at random, grabbing you and lifting you in a firm embrace throughout the day.
he likes hugging you during sleep as well, his stretchy arms enfolding you and leaving you with no escape from his warmth. you're practically tangled in his arms until he decides to let go... whenever that is!
shoulders + lap + chest
ZORO prefers affection when it is a smaller and more subtle way (although not always!), it's these little moments of affection that end up having the most meaning.
when you catch him sitting against the railing of the ship, napping, you sit next to him, leaning against his heavy shoulder. he won't say anything, but it makes him feel calm knowing that you're there. sometimes he'll catch you sitting and relaxing yourself and set himself down beside you and lean on you slightly too, no words needed.
if you're not sitting close to him and leaning against him, he likes when you rest on his lap when he's sitting. if you sleep on his lap, he'll occasionally look down at you just to see your face, feeling content to see you so completely at ease, and careful not to wake you.
his CHEST. he's a big guy after all, making his chest the perfect place to lie down on. he tries to play it off like it's nothing, but you can hear the fast drumming of his heart betraying him as you lie on him. you can easily trace the scar lining down his broad chest when he's asleep.
hands
for SANJI, this is obviously a given!! sanji sees his hands as the most precious and sacred part of himself, and treats them like treasure. his hands are trusted not just for cooking, but for giving and receiving all kinds of love and affection. because they are so well taken care of, every touch is soft, tender and careful.
when you're feeling stressed or anxious, a gentle squeeze from his hand is enough to take all your worries away and let you know that he's always there for you.
he loves holding hands and interlocking fingers with you. it's a small gesture of affection that he does over and over because he finds it oddly comforting. if you're close to him and you feel his soft fingers brush against yours, the next thing you know he's seizing your hand tight without a sign of letting go.
sometimes you gently take hold of his hands and hold them up so they're right between you both, or you'll bring them to rest against your chest, or delicately plant tender kisses on his knuckles. either option has him completely flustered. his hands start getting a little shaky from nerves and he has to look away to avoid meeting your gaze, face red.

Fuck you cis men! I think I've been hurt enough....
Hello,
I hope this message finds you well.❤️
I am Maher, and my wife Rawida, and my newborn baby and my elderly parents., I’m currently living in Gaza, where the war and destruction have taken everything from us.🍉🇵🇸
We ended up fleeing to a small tent and sleeping on the sand due to the crowded population, under the intense summer heat, and the sound of explosions from time to time.
💔😔.
I would be really grateful if you could help me by donating to save me and my family from the dangers of war and death in Gaza and escape to a safe place. 🇵🇸❤️
Please share, repost or donate to my family 🙏🤍
I hope you can assist me. Thank you,

I don't have any money but I can help spread awareness.
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.
