Author's Note 💌: Hi I finally had some time to edit and post this lol it's very short but it gives you a peek into MC's first day with the teezers. Also I had to change the color scheme bc Tumblr wanted to be mean and remove the yellow text option so I chose orange bc ateez. Tbh I've been so tired from work I've been procrastinating editing this and i've just been working on the most recent chapter of the story which is easy writing but I decided I need to at least post something so I hope you enjoy this chapter and please look forward to the next one! - N 🌙
✦•·····································•✦•·····································•✦
A few hours later I wake up and it’s dark. Eledonia was also now gone from the horizon and as I look around at the endless dark sea I realize a blanket is wrapped around me.
It was most likely Seonghwa since Hongjoong did say he’d be coming by later to show me to my room. I keep my gaze fixed in the direction of Eledonia and now is when it sinks in that I will not be seeing my family in awhile. I sit there welling up in my own thoughts until a gentle tap on my shoulder disturbs them, it was Seonghwa. 
He gives me a soft smile and says “Hey, you’re awake now. Let me show you to your room so you can sleep comfortably.”
 I get up and he helps me with my bag while I silently follow behind him with the blanket still wrapped around me since It was quite chilly. We walk down to the crew’s quarters which is located towards the front of the ship. I walk down and I notice nothing was separated, everyone was sleeping in the same room.
 I could see six figures fast asleep in their own beds then Seonghwa leans over and whispers “Go ahead and sleep on my bed, I’ll be keeping watch tonight up in the crow’s nest so I won’t be using my bed. Don’t mind everyone else, sleep well okay?” 
He sets down my things next to his bed and gives me a smile and a nod goodbye. After I’ve quietly settled down on Seonghwa’s bed I notice it’s quite comfortable, more than mine back at home. Which led to me falling asleep pretty quickly.
 In the morning I’m woken up with voices, all of them belonged to the six figures on the beds last night which obviously belong to my crew mates. Since I have a habit of sleeping with a blanket over my head I lay perfectly still and pretend to be asleep then I hear someone say “That’s not Seonghwa. Is that y/n? The Captain’s new protector?”
 For some reason I’m terrified now that I’ve made my existence known. Someone then answers “Nah I don’t think it’s her, why would she be sleeping in here? I’m sure that’s probably Seonghwa being lazy.” 
Suddenly, something presumably a pillow is thrown at me followed by “Get up Seonghwa or you’re not getting any breakfast!” Followed by someone pulling the blanket from over my head harshly then complete silence. 
I open my eyes and and realize 6 men standing around the bed I’m laying on with some of them with their mouths agape. Then someone says “What the fuck? She’s sleeping in Seonghwa’s bed?” 
Slightly irritated from how embarrassed I was I sit there in silence glaring at them. Followed by Mingi chuckling then reaching over to grab my arm  “Hey let’s g-” Before he’s even able to finish his sentence I grab his wrist and twist it “Don’t touch me.”
 Immediately he pulls his hand away and massages his wrist and says “She’s feisty.” The man with puppy like features looks over at the blue haired male “Mingi stop..” 
I throw the pillow at Mingi who gets bonked in the head then manages to catch it “Look, just- can you understand how I was woken up? Like that was such an aggressive and rude way to wake up it was so uncalled for so, can you blame me? Especially your so called superior, you’re really going to disrespect him like that?”
San looks over at Mingi says “I agree with her, that was rude. Especially towards someone who’s not used to the way we play around” 
Mingi playfully punches San in the arm “Loosen up San, it was a joke.” San turns and looks over at Mingi with a glare. 
Wooyoung raises his eyebrow “Wait, so are you really the Captain’s protector?” I bite the inside of my cheek “Yeah, otherwise what else would I be doing here.” Mingi responds “Our-” Yunho immediately covers his mouth “No, stop. Quiet, no”
 Everyone else erupts in laughter. I roll my eyes then I get up and grab my backpack “If you’ll excuse me I need to change.” Wooyoung smiles “Sure.” Someone in the distance then says “You pissed her off, she was so nice the last time we saw her..”
 I walk out of the crew quarters and It just so happened that Seonghwa was walking in that direction and I’m stopped in the middle of the hallway leading to the stairs to go back upstairs.
 “Hey, I was just about to go wake you and introduce you to your other crew members.” I stay silent for a few seconds then I respond in a low voice “No thanks.”
 Seonghwa grabs my arm “Wait, why not? What happened?” I shake my head and pull my arm away from his grasp “I’m going to change..”
 I walk upstairs towards the deck to look around and head towards the room the Captain walked into last night. Surely he must be in there right?
I knock on the door and carefully enter the candle lit room “Captain?” 
 He glances over at me and removes his glasses “y/n? Good morning, I didn’t think you’d come here so early. I heard you stayed up pretty late.”
 “I did, but I’m a light sleeper so I woke up pretty easily.” I sit on the leather chair in front of his desk softly squeaking from my weight.
“That reminds me, can I tell you something? I don’t want to be worrisome on my first day here but this just kind of bothers me.” Hongjoong nods giving me a concerned look “Did something happen?”
“Yeah kind of. Your crewmates are assholes, they threw a pillow at me thinking I was Seonghwa, is that really how they treat your first mate?”
 Hongjoong lets out a small laugh “Well, yes but the respect is there don’t worry that’s just how they get along. As for the way you were woken up..” he trails off and lets out a sigh “I’m sorry about that, if you want you have my permission to scold them if they get on your nerves as they tend to have their moments of not being the most pleasant to be around.” 
What? No way he’s letting me scold them?! Is that how much he trusts me? I mean it’s a given the man trusts me with his life, why wouldn’t he when it comes to just standing up for myself and straightening out a couple of grown brats…
”Oh, um. Thank you for that.” Hongjoong’s eyebrow slightly raises “Anything else?” I awkwardly stipple my fingers for a few moments “Um, do you have food? I’m kind of starving” 
Hongjoong smiles “Yeah, second floor below deck. Breakfast should be going on right now. I’ll walk you there.” I look over at his desk and notice he’s writing something immediately feeling guilty for making him stand “oh, uh. No captain, it’s okay. I should learn my way around the ship by myself.” 
Hongjoong hums and I continue “Besides, you’re busy doing Captain things..I really don’t want to bother you.” Hongjoong puts his black polished index finger on his lips and hushes me “I promise you’re not bothering me darling, I’m more than happy to show you around. I’ve got plenty of time.”
I stand up and smile “It’s okay Captain, I think it’s best for me to learn things on my own. You are the Captain after all, I’m sure you’re quite busy erm…Being a Captain.” 
Hongjoong smirks then looks at me fondly “Alright, but in case you need someone to guide you Seonghwa and I are here. Don’t forget that.” I quietly nod then he continues “Once you’re done with breakfast go ahead and head over to the crow’s nest and keep watch. I’ll put you in charge of that. If you spot anything let Seonghwa know immediately. ”
 Hongjoong reaches into the side drawer of his desk and hands me a golden spyglass “Thank you Captain, I will.”
  I glance down at it then back up at him where he then motions for me to leave “Alright, go. If you need anything Seonghwa will be there to assist.” 
I bow, slightly intimidated by him not because he's scary but more or so because of how well he carries himself. 
When I exit the captain’s quarters I carefully examine the spyglass. Must be brass or something judging from the nice weight to it. 
Regardless it was so beautiful It had an engraving on it, the same one as the one on Hongjoong’s arm band. I guess this means it’s his, that’s cool. He trusts me even with his personal items.
 While I walk across the deck my stomach growls then I sigh. If I remember correctly Hongjoong said the kitchen was on the second floor? 
I head downstairs and as soon as I enter the mess hall it becomes dead silent. I knew it, I knew it was going to be this awkward. At least Hongjoong isn’t here it would have been much more embarrassing. 
San pats the seat next to his and gives me dimpled smile “y/n, sit here. I saved this seat for you.” 
This man is making me want to smack him. Pretending to be nice. Why is he so flirty? I can only imagine how cringe he was with the girls back in Eledonia. They probably ate that shit up too. Ugh.
 I sit on the seat next to San on the other side to my right was Wooyoung who immediately stands up. To my recollection he's the cook, he was the one wearing an apron while cooking back in Eledonia and the one who gave me the delicious peach tart.
 Seonghwa then brings everyone’s attention over to me“Evreyone, you weren’t properly introduced but this is the Captain’s protector Her name is y/n.” 
The tall one with blue hair and glasses which was Mingi if I remember correctly says “Ah yes, the cute doll back in Eledonia.” Wow, he must have a thing with dolls but honestly I'm not mad at it. 
“You’re cute, I know why Hongjoong chose you now. I think Hongjoong likes cute girls. Cute..” Everyone silently stares at him then Yunho looks over at Mingi in disgust. “Maybe you should stay quiet you’ve used the word cute one too many times for my liking.”
 Yunho looks over at me and gives me a concerned look “He’s weird please don’t listen to him. Anyway, hello y/n It’s nice to see you've decided to join us.” I slightly raise my hand from the table to acknowledge his greeting and take a bite of a piece of bread from a basket. 
From the corner of my eye I notice the guy with Jongho back in Eledonia, Yeosang if i'm not wrong. Looking at him closer now I notice he's got very gorgeous features, one of them being a cool looking birth mark on his left eye (which I didn't notice) , his face being almost too perfect to be real with soft brown hair that compliments him very well giving him a very princely and delicate appearance. 
He stares at me without saying anything which is intimidating noting how gorgeous the man is. The stare wasn’t out of hate, it was more or so out of curiosity until he finally speaks “Who trained you?” 
Slightly taken aback I almost choke on my bread but manage to play it off. He speaks Eledonian, like Hongjoong only much more fluent. “My grandfather, an Eledonian veteran. Why?”
 He gives me a small smile and shakes his head “I was just asking, I’m Yeosang. My apologies for not introducing myself when we first met.” I shake my head “It’s okay, no worries. I appreciate you introducing yourself..” 
San furrows his eyebrows “Hey Yeo, you speak Eledonian? I didn’t know that.” Yeosang glances at San while resting both elbows on the table and his hands laced together “Who do you think taught Hongjoong?” 
Shortly after being gone Wooyoung comes back with a bowl and a cup of tea and gently sets it in front of me. “I hope you like it, it may be a little spicy depending on your spice tolerance but it should still be good.. ” 
I silently nod and take a sip of my tea then Seonghwa says “So y/n, how’d you sleep? You didn’t get seasick?” I pick up my eating utensil and mix my food.
“Well, besides being woken up in the rudest most uncalled for way ever. It was actually pretty comfortable, more than my old bed so I fell asleep almost instantly.” The whole table stays quiet with exception of a few of them clearing their throats and awkwardly adjusting themselves in their seats.
 Seonghwa looks over at the rest of the guys and forces a smile when he looks back at me “Well at least you slept well up until that point.” I shove a spoonful of food in my mouth and nod, San remorsefully speaks “So um, about this morning. Sorry we thought you were Seonghwa and we kind of ambushed you without your permisson.”
 I shrug taking another sip of my drink “What’s done is done, it’s fine.” Jongho, the very well built dark haired male with a very friendly face says in an apologetic tone “We should have honestly checked before we pulled something like that. I’m sure that’s the reason you’re being so cold towards all of us which we understand.” 
Woah this guy hit the nail on the head with that one. “You’re right, you guys were assholes but now with the Captain’s full permission if you ever cross the line with me again I have his personal blessing to kick your asses.”
Mingi says under his breath “Ah, that’s so hot..” San looks over at Mingi like he just insulted him and flatly says “No..” 
Seonghwa glares at both males, something told that pissing him off wasn’t a good idea. As it is he’s already intimidating. “How about you both calm down and behave. You both act like you didn’t just meet up with women back in Eledonia” 
Wooyoung giggles looking in San’s direction playfully nudging my arm so that I could watch the whole ordeal go on. “Seonghwa’s right, weren’t you two the ones who were flirting away and getting back rubs from Eledonian women later in the evening?”
 San crosses his arms in front of his chest “They were just back rubs!” Everyone looks in his direction then Wooyoung fires back “You and I both know you’re lying about that, that's not the only thing that was getting rubbed”
 I roll my eyes at how utterly embarrassing this whole conversation was getting and continue to eat my food completely tuning out the conversation happening. Everyone explodes in laughter while San sits there festering in annoyance and Mingi awkwardly laughs it off with the others.
 Once they settle down a bit Jongho says “That’s true one of them didn’t come back until midday the next day so that says alot about what actually happened.” I eat the last of my food and drink the remaining tea from my cup and I get up not caring we were all in mid conversation.
“I’m done eating. Wooyoung, the food was delicious.” I give Wooyoung a smile and in return he blinks “Oh, you ate fast.. Do you want seconds?” I shake my head and get up “No thank you, I’m full.” 
San turns to me and looks at me a bit sad “You’re leaving already?” I nod dusting my lap off from the leftover bread crumbs “Yep, see you around.” 
Before anyone has a chance of saying anything else I excuse myself from the clearly very private conversation going on in the background. I guess I'm going to have to get used to conversations like this, men are so… Weird.
After that chaotic breakfast I find my way back to the crow’s nest, it was a nice change of environment. I wonder if this is the only thing I’ll be doing while we’re at sea, then again there is no one I need to protect Hongjoong from anyway so I guess it makes sense I’m in charge of keeping an eye. 
After a few uneventful days of me keeping watch, which were either cargo ships or just other ships in general who weren’t of intrest. I basically lived up at the crow’s nest and only really came down to shower or use the bathroom since Wooyoung would usually bring up my food while on duty. 
Today was a different story, on the horizon I could make out a ship in the distance then I look into the spyglass and notice a ship with a peculiar flag. Unlike our flag, theirs was red with a skull on it except this skull had two spears crossing behind it then my stomach sinks. 
I quickly climb down then I run over to Seonghwa who was talking to Mingi and in between breaths I say “I don’t know who they are but we have company from the north east.”
Seonghwa quickly puts down the book in his hand and runs outside onto the deck then pulls out his spyglass, and stares at the ship for what felt like forever “The Scarlet Sailors… The Captain needs to see this.” He turns to me “Prepare for battle these pirates are quite tough, ring the bell.” 
It’s like a switch instantly lit up I run over to the bell and ring it as loud as I can while Seonghwa runs into the captain’s quarters to alert the Captain. My first looting with the crew and I’m not going to lie but I’m scared. What if I die not even three seconds after stepping foot on that boat.
 Meanwhile the whole ship goes hectic to prepare everything and a few minutes later Hongjoong steps out and looks through Seonghwa’s spyglass with a big smile on his features “Evreyone, looks like we hit the jackpot. We will strip them from everything.” 
He hands Seonghwa his spyglass back then looks over at me and gives me a bright smile “Use this time to practice, don’t worry if you kill them. The government doesn’t care, so neither should we. Also, unless I call for you do your thing I’m not useless.” I hum and touch the gun on my holster then I smile. Here’s my chance to show off.
 As the ship gets closer Jongho aims the canon at the ship and shoots directly hitting the ship in the front of the ship he then signals San and Yeosang to do the same permanently disabling the ship due to Jongho’s successfully being able to break the main mast of the ship. 
Right as Yunho and Mingi begin to set up the plank a few people of the enemy begins to shoot at us causing us to hide. 
Seonghwa gently squeezes my shoulder “Good luck, and please protect our Captain.” I turn and give him a smile for the first time in a while “No problem.” once the plank is clear I notice the captain of the ship immediately heads over towards Hongjoong.
 He’s not useless he can fight, I just need to clear these people out then I can help him. I shoot my gun at any of the crew mates running towards me until I have no ammo left after that I pick up a sword from one of the bodies on the ground then I climb up one of the shrouds of the ship. 
Before jumping I take a deep breath and jump down onto a crew mate who was about to shoot Yeosang in the back so I proceed to stab him in the back of the neck with the blade exiting through the other side of the man’s throat.
 When I pull it out of the man’s neck the sound alone of the man choking on his own blood causes Yeosang to turn and notices the man on the floor then he looks back at me and smirks.
I pick up the man’s gun and shoot the man behind Yeosang and I smile. I notice a scary looking man about to gang up on Wooyoung who was already busy with a sword fight so I give Yeosang a two finger salute and while running to Woooyung’s aid I shoot the man on the side of the head causing him to fall to the ground limply.
 While I look around to see if I could assist anyone I feel a hand pull me back by the hair and begins to crush my throat with the other then I put the barrel of the gun under the bearded man’s chin and I pull the trigger causing him to fall back. In the midst of me running away I see another huge scary bald man with a cigar in his mouth begin to walk towards me with evrey intention to kill.
 “You can’t go around killing people like this little lady, you’ve been a bad girl.” I smirk then I pull the trigger of the gun only for it to be empty then I let out a frustrated groan so I grab the sword again then he lets out a laugh. 
"You wanna fight with swords? Alright, I'll do you a favor before I kill you then although I can't guarantee I won't fuck you up pretty girl." He grabs a sword from the nearest body And does a few practice swings. 
I run towards the man and swing to aim at his midsection but he successfully blocks my sword and knocks it out of my hand. The man lets out a laugh and grabs me by the wrist and pulls me towards him then he rests his blade on my neck, pressing just enough for me to acknowledge the blade on my throat drawing some blood.
 The smoke from his cigar hitting me in the face while I lay completely still “What a shame I have to kill you I really wanted to fuck that pretty little face of yours-”
 Feeling complete disgust by the vulgarities this man was saying I pull out a dagger hiding under my belt and stab the man once in the midsection then another right in the eye causing him to drop his cigar to the floor and scream in agonizing pain.
 “You fucking bitch! I’ll kill you!” I pick up the sword I dropped and motion the angry man to attack "Come and get me you ugly troll.." 
The man leans in and swings his sword in my direction grazing my arm only managing to rip the fabric of my sleeve. I parry the angry man and unfortunately for the man his anger combined with only having one eye grants me an opening to lunge and slash followed by a stab right on his stomach causing him to fall on his knees and drop the sword on the ground.
 I pick up the cigar he dropped from the floor and push the end of the lit cigar into the wound in his eye.
The man screams in pain and clutches onto his face squirming on the floor until I pick up the shot gun off of a body and shoot the man dead. It's over, finally. 
I slowly close my eyes and let out a soft sigh, when I open my eyes I look at the state of the situation and see the captain of the Scarlet Sailors had been defeated or more so shot in the face. 
The rest of his crew only a handful were left alive and were are all tied up while San kept watch the rest of the guys were quickly hauling alot of supplies and money onto the ship.
 A few minutes go by of me being confused and not really knowing what to do si I decide to help San keep watch on the rival crew mates. From a distance I hear a whistling noise only to realize it was Hongjoong, who was looking in my direction and motions me back onto the ship.
 Both San and I walk back to the ship, leaving the rival crew on the boat. It still hadn’t dawned on me how brutal this whole situation is in reality. How my first encounter with true violence would be the one to light a fire in me that won’t be put out which will put a crack on my moral compass.
Once we get on the ship I begin walking towards the bathroom before Yeosang stops me “Hey, are you okay? That slice on your neck is bleeding.” I gingerly touch my neck then look down at my hand to see it coated with blood.
 Of course internally i’m panicking but I can’t let anyone know that the captain’s protector is a wimp, so I hum quietly while looking down at the blood. “The bleeding will stop, I’ll be fine.”
 Yeosang shakes his head “You have to go get that cleaned or else it’ll get infected.” I smile and wipe the blood with my finger on my inner wrist.“I’m going to shower so no worries the wound will get cleaned, thanks for your concern though.”
I give Yeosang a soft smile and before I even see his reactiom I walk over to the bathroom and close the door behind me and I begin to undress.
While I’m undressing I notice my hands are shaky, it must be the adrenaline still coursing through my veins. Growing slightly irritated because of how flimsily it made my hands feel I clench both my hands together and sigh. 
Slowly a small smile forces itself onto my features “I did a great job today, for my first day. I can’t be entirely disappointed.” I stand in the warm water staring at the ground with the slight sting on my neck from my wound. 
Suddenly I get flashes of all the people I’ve killed today and I will admit I do feel remorse for what i did as I’m only human but what Hongjoong told me keeps repeating itself in my head “The government doesn’t care, and neither should we.”
 Which means technically they aren’t the government since pirates are anti government but they did begin to head straight towards us and willing to attack us so we were in full right to attack them back.
This wasn’t wrong was it? Am I just overthinking everything right now because of the amount of people I just killed? I don’t know honestly, all I know is my body is reacting to it.
I start to feel slightly dizzy and a bit light headed so I sit under the water to rest a little bit. How can I be so weak I’m reacting like this, what happened to my grandfather’s training? No wait, his training didn’t include how to cope with killing people. 
After a long maybe 5 or 10 minutes of me feeling weird I eventually finish showering and tightly wrap the bathrobe around my figure and step back out onto the deck. It’s as if Yunho was waiting for me outside of the bathroom he hurriedly walks towards me “Yeosang told me about your wound.” 
I brush out my hair with my fingers “Oh, I’m fine.” He rolls his eyes and puts both his hands on my shoulders and turns me in the direction of the crew’s quarters “Yeah, I’m not taking any risks then you die on us and the Captain will get mad at me for not doing my job which is attend all the injuries our crew gets.” 
I sigh slightly rolling my eyes but not enough where Yunho notices “Yeah, okay then.” When we go down to the quarters he sits me down on the first bed entering the place.
 “Sit, I’ll be right back.” He walks over to a small cabinet in the room and pulls up a chair next to me. He gives me an awkward smile and points at my robe.
"Can you um, pull it down a little bit?” I nod and grab the soft fabric of the bathrobe and gently pull it down exposing my neck but still covering my chest. 
He clears his throat and silently begins to clean my wound up until he probably get tired of how painfully awkward it was so he breaks the ice and says “So, I saw you fighting and you’re pretty good. I now understand why the Captain was so hellbent on you joining us.”
 I awkwardly smile at Yunho “Yeah.” He chuckles and awkwardly smiles back  “You looked like a cat on top of those shrouds, weren’t you scared?” 
Stiffly I nod trying not to disturb what Yunho was doing “A little but when you’re set to kill you just kind of forget evreything around you and you just focus on your task.” Yunho hums “I see, just remember to be careful. You’re meant to protect the Captain and if you get hurt you’re neglecting your purpose.” 
Well that’s a bit.. Outright. What a strange way to tell me to be careful. “Okay, i’ll be careful. I'll try my best not to worry the Captain.” 
After a few more minutes of awkward small talk and him cleaning my wound he finally finishes and dresses my wound then puts away his first aid kit. I pull my bathrobe back up and I head over towards the door.
 I really wanted to say thank you but for some reason I couldn’t bring myself to say anything until I finally manage to say in a very low almost indistinguishable mumble “Thank you.” Yunho turns back to me and says “Did you say something?”
 Great, he didn’t hear me. I look so dumb right now. Immediately I shake my head and walk out without another word. I stand by the railing looking out onto the sea, unfortunately It hasn’t even been a month yet and I’m already kind of sick of seeing nothing but water.
 I might as well learn to get along with everyone even if that means I have to fake my personality. They can all be afraid of me but if I keep this up and keep being so quiet and unaproachable I’ll not only get bored but I’ll be miserable. I also can’t latch onto Seonghwa and the Captain the whole time I’m here I need to make friends even if these guys are a bit…Weird.
 I hear steps approaching me from behind and a familiar voice emerges behind me “I’ve brought you some clean clothes. I don’t know if they’re your style but Hongjoong chose them. I’m sorry we didn’t give these to you earlier and you had to go into battle with your personal attire. I am sorry your old ones got ruined.” 
I turn and it was Seonghwa, skin with a slight sheen of sweat on his exposed skin which was just his neck and face with a small cut under his eye and a busted lip. “Ah, It’s fine. I’ll keep those clothes as a memento of my first battle with The Piece of Eight.” I shake my head and see his slightly worried expression shift to a small smile.
“Good job out there by the way. Yeosang told me you saved him twice and you helped out Wooyoung. I also heard you took out the juggernaut first mate of the Scarlet Sailors.” I nervously laugh “Thank you, I was only fulfilling my duty.” 
He hands me my clothes and smiles “This might have been your first battle but it certainly won’t be your last.” I look down at the clothes and I couldn’t tell first glance if I was going to like them. It wasn’t until I actually tried them on I saw and could definitely tell Hongjoong chose them. 
Very high fashion, it’s a very nice blend of their style just a bit more feminine. I like it. It was a black blazer with a beautiful pin on it the shape of an hourglass with silver detailing and a top that was a black fitted vest and some black pants , boots and.. A wide brim fedora. 
Kind of an odd choice, I thought pirates wore those weird looking hats? Not Hongjoong though, I can tell this man goes against what everyone expects of him. He forges his own path even with the smallest of things as simple as clothing. Something tells me I'm working for right man, the right cause.

Can I get headcannons on the types of partners the straw hats would want to date? Thank you!
Chopper is baby so I'm not including him x
Otherwise YES let’s go!!!
Luffy
If you can’t make Luffy laugh, you’re not his type. Point Blank.
Needs someone with a HUGE sense of adventure, this is the future king of the pirates we are talking about.
I headcanon Luffy as aro/ace so he is big on platonic love and loyalty above anything else. You gotta be cool with platonic dating bc you’re probably not gonna get much else from him.
Gotta love his friends as much as he does.
Can you cook? YES: Definitely his type. More food the better.
Zoro
I think he would like someone based on their merit and morale more than looks or anything like that.
A drinking partner would be nice, or at least keep him company while he drinks.
Can’t handle a crybaby. He can’t deal with it because he’s too blunt. Not that he doesn’t care just that well. He’s not the best at comforting someone who’s crying.
He’s pretty versatile, I think he would work well both with someone who is more reserved or someone with a hot temper. He is adaptable in dating situations. Though don’t be upset if he walks away from a big fight because that’s way too much to deal with.
Nami
I headcanon Nami as a lesbian but like. Not above using men for money or a free meal. Gotta do what ya gotta do to survive.
I saw a tiktok of someone in a marina yelling “I’m looking for a sugar daddy with a BOAT” and I can’t stop thinking about Nami. It’s perfect. That’s what I mean
But seriously Nami is a big dreamer who needs someone to be the wind in her sails… no pun intended.
Someone FUN. A shopping buddy or someone who likes to dress up with her for fun. Brunch dates are a must.
Can’t deal with anyone clingy, I think she’s probably afraid of real commitment, but once she falls for you she would be ride or die for you.
Usopp
I think Usopp’s love language is gift giving. He’ll bring you little trinkets, flowers, even cool rocks if he thinks you would appreciate them. Anything that reminds him of his partner makes him happy.
He needs someone who could see through his bullshit and understand if something was really upsetting him. Someone empathetic enough to ignore the little white lies and knows that he wouldn’t ever lie to hurt them.
Literally if you are his personal cheerleader he would fall for you so fast. Boy needs a support network who believes in him.
He’s attracted to other creative people! Draw with him, cuddle up and make up stories together, sing stupid little song with him in the crows nest. He’d loved it.
He’s a sucker for someone with a beautiful smile and a cute laugh.
Sanji
LISTEN this boy is girl crazy but I also think he is in denial about being a bisexual.
I headcanon Sanji as bi and trans masc. (I won’t write him trans unless asked but like that’s my fav Sanji headcanon.)
This boy is chock full of the trauma™ and needs a really supportive partner because if you’re more than a one night stand, he’d probably end up in tears talking about his past with you. Someone empathetic and understanding is a must.
Can you cook? Yes: Cook with him! He would love to have a hand from the one he loved in the kitchen.
Really flirty when he’s single, but if he gets hit ON he gets flustered and fumbles over his words and probably nosebleed-y. Easy catch after that.
Even though he’s so flirty, if he was in a serious relationship all of that energy would be devoted to his partner. Though if you were open and comfortable he’d love a relationship where you would both be like “whoa check out that girl she’s fiiiiiiine.”
Robin
Either academic types or dumbasses. No inbetween.
“You’re stupid: I like that in a Man.”
I see her as bisexual or pansexual. She wouldn’t really care about anything physical, just who you are and how you treat people.
Someone to balance her would be nice.
Needs someone who would hype her up but also be there for her if she had bad flashbacks because of PTSD from her childhood trauma.
Someone with a sense of humor to compliment her own dark humor (or at least laugh at it) would be the key to her heart.
Loves a library or cafe date. Sit quietly, have a drink, and be together quietly in each other’s presence.
Franky
He’s the friend group’s token cis straight. But he fucking loves his crew and they are all supported by this huge beautiful ally.
Acts like a himbo but then does complex engineering science in the same sentence.
Needs someone intellectual or he’d get bored.
Prefers a smaller partner (not hard with his stature, tbh) Loves to give a piggyback ride or pick his partner up bridal style.
He looks for someone loyal. He needs the tight knit relationship in his life.
Someone who would match his energy would flow well, he has so much and either needs that energy matched or calmed.
Brook
Listen, this flirt is a flirt and he knows that he’s suave.
Definitely pansexual, though he can’t derive much pleasure out of sexual interactions himself, he would be up for pleasing a partner.
Loves someone who knows their music. Sing with him, write music with him, or play an instrument and have a jam session. That’s his all time favorite date.
Wants more than a groupie in his life, though he’s afraid of falling for someone and watching them die because he outlives them. (I’m sorry for this angst in the middle of all the fluff but it KILLs ME)
Must love animals (especially whales).
Loves an extrovert. He wants to go out and DO things, and wouldn’t work well with someone who wanted to be at home all the time.

Son Yaz, Episode 22
Things I loved:
1. Eray and Ahmet: I love them being there for Yağmur and her family, but I also love that they still love Akgün so very much. Their hugs and genuine happiness when they first saw him again, the way they've kept in touch to let him know Yağmur is okay.
2. Altay keeping a picture of Akgün in his room: I'm curious to see where their relationship goes this season. Altay has always been close to Akgün and I think that with him being estranged from Selim this season, we're going to see some interesting bonding between the two of them.
3. Selim and Akgün: My biggest fear this season was them not being okay. I was mostly worried that Selim would turn his back on Akgün, but it's clear from his reactions and their conversation, that he still loves him deeply. Selim still feels responsible for Akgün, especially after what they did together. Akgün's genuine joy in seeing him at the end, the crow tattoo--it's clear that even after everything he's lost, in large part because of Selim, he will never abandon him because of the debt he feels he owes.
4. Related to the above: as horrifying as it was, the way they committed the murder was, in my opinion, necessary. It would always have been shocking and horrifying, but Akgün helping Selim kidnap a man, who Selim shoots and kills, is very different from beating a man to death and burying him (possibly alive). It feeds entirely into their psyche for the past three years, and lends a completely different level of understanding to both of their actions, especially in respect to Yağmur.
5. Yağmur and Akgün: I know there are a lot of feeling surrounding this, and people (at least from my brief perusal of Twitter) are very upset on Yağmur's behalf. Which I understand, and I think if he had broken up with her only bc of his brother, I might be inclined to be entirely on her side. But knowing what he did with Selim before that--I can't bring myself to be mad at him. I talked with @disisphlebotinum about the possibility of him telling her what happened. And while I think this is a much longer post, I do think there was no going back from this one, at least not at the time. "I accidentally killed my brother in self-defense", "I helped your father shoot the man responsible for your mother's death", and "I helped your father kidnap a man, drag him into the woods, beat him to death with a shovel, and and then buried him (possibly while he was still breathing)" is something else entirely. Something in him broke, I think, and her absolute belief in him, the purity of her love and belief, the way she clutched at him as her lifeline--it was too much. This hurts for her, but my heart breaks for him too. Selim was destroyed by Canan's death, but by asking Akgün for help, he destroyed what little chance either of them had to stay together.
6. Selim: Selim is not a good person. I love him, deeply, and I love who he is for Akgün in particular, but he is not a good person. Selim is a force, and he casts a large shadow. His shadow saves as often as it destroys, and he tends to be ignorant of the destruction left in his wake. His concern for Akgün working on the task force makes my heart soft, but he also is responsible for destroying him. Akgün would never have handled his brother's death well, but by asking for his help , Selim guaranteed the destruction of Akgün's future, and his daughter's as well. Selim is a character that I'm not sure deserves a happy ending, but because I love him, I do hope he manages to find a measure of peace.
7. Yağmur: I love Yağmur, and I love the direction I think they are going with her. She's lost everything, and it's clear she is barely hanging on. She clearly suffers from PTSD, and she also clearly hasn't truly dealt with everything. She has thrown herself into becoming the woman her mother was, taking care of everyone and forging ahead with building a life, but the truth is that she is far more like her father than ever. Her relationship with Akgün mirrors her parents', but her actions in attempting to build a life and forgive her father is also similar to Selim in the beginning of season 1--he too pretended everything was fine and ignored the issues in his family. A break is coming, and when she finally falls apart, I don't think she'll ever be the same. Right now she is channeling all her pain and rage into Akgün, and it makes sense, but as things start to unravel, the careful house of cards she has built will start to unwind.
8. The acting: As always, the acting in this show is superb. You feel absolutely every moment, every emotion, and the chemistry between all the actors is phenomenal. I quite enjoyed all the new characters, and I look forward to seeing where it all goes.
9. The characters: season 2 is taking a dark turn, and it's tone is very different from the family drama of season one. It is, at it's core, still a show about fathers, about parents, and the way they mold and shape the lives of their children. And our characters are still here. From AkMur just as in love as ever, to Selim who still loves too much and not enough, our characters felt like themselves. And that means this season, no matter the changes, will be as phenomenal as it ever was.
10. Akgün: I didn't think it was possible for him to get hotter to me, but good gravy. (I'm including this mostly bc I really needed a ten lol).
Things I Didn't Love:
Akgün in cream. I prefer all black, but tbh they might have been trying to spare me bc I was having a hard enough time breathing as it was tbh.
This episode was excellent. A strong start to the season, and while this show may not end up a happily ever after, I have every faith and confidence in the writers to be faithful to their characters, and their vision. I look forward to what is to come...

happy bwc Sam! 🤗 how about the "six of crows" universe for your "send me a fandom" ask? (ignoring the points that don't apply, like fave episodes/seasons, etc.) 💜
happy friday Jo! 💙
Oh no my six of crows obsession has gotten out 👀. Okay disclaimer I usually don’t reread books so its been a few years and this might be boring bc my lack of memory but here we go:
The first character I ever fell in love with:
Inej. If I remember correctly the first book started with her being a total badass leaping over roofs and whatnot and I was like...I want to be her. My love for her only grew but immediately I was all for the badass ninja woman who was this gang leaders right hand (wo)man.
A character that I used to love/like, but now do not:
Hmm I don’t think there is one tbh. I really can’t remember the side characters right now and my opinions on the core 6 were pretty consistent.
A ship that I used to love/like, but now do not:
Hm once again I’m boring but pretty much consistently liked the three main ships across both books.
My ultimate favorite character™:
Definitely Inej. Kaz is close behind but tbh girls usually end up my fav bc I end up relating to them more. Inej is one of my top 5 fav fictional characters in general. Her strength is astounding throughout the book, her sheer willpower. She’s also painted as an opposite to Kaz in that she’s strong without having to shut off her emotions or become cold. She shows that you can be both strong and vulnerable and that’s a lesson so many need in life.
Prettiest character:
Don’t make me choose between Inej and Nina. Wait, the men can be pretty too. All six, they’re all pretty. Impossible decisions.
My most hated character:
Now I’m on the wiki page trying to remember names. Probably Pekka Rollins. There were other big bads but I think of what he did to baby Kaz and lose it. Oh also that bitch who owned the brothel Inej was at.
My OTP:
Kanej
My NOTP:
None I can think of.
Favorite episode scene:
I can’t choose between a few different Kanej ones. One I feel like I emotionally died at was when Kaz was drowning in the first one:
He needed to tell her...what? That she was lovely and brave and better than anything he deserved. That he was twisted, crooked, wrong, but not so broken that he couldn't pull himself together into some semblance of a man for her. That without meaning to, he'd begun to lean on her, to look for her, to need her near. He needed to thank her for his new hat.
Also the Kanej scene where he’s bandaging her in the bathroom (we love a battle couple) and struggling with his PTSD but wants so badly to show her he can be intimate with her. Of course the last Kanej scene.
Okay, wait I lied. Also the scene where Inej is climbing up from some like really hot pipe or something during the heist? Lmao told you it’s been a while. But that scene was so powerful seeing her willpower and believing in herself.
Saddest death:
*spoiler*
Definitely Matthias. While he was probably my least fav of the six, having one of the six die was heartbreaking and especially watching Nina’s loss of him.
Favorite season book:
The first. The second was a good sequel but the heist plot in the first was just cleaner and more exciting.
Least favorite season:
Character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate:
I was never involved in the fandom so I’m not sure who people hate but I feel like I didn’t hate anyone who wasn’t a villain so probably no one.
My you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave:
This question is hilarious for soc because they’re all trash and I’d protect them all with my life. Just going to leave this quote here:
Kaz leaned back. "What's the easiest way to steal a man's wallet?"
"Knife to the throat?" asked Inej.
"Gun to the back?" said Jesper.
"Poison in his cup?" suggested Nina.
"You're all horrible," said Matthias.
shut up Matthias you used to be a bigot
Oh shit I take that back though, Wylan isn’t trash. Sorry baby.
My ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave:
All of these poor babies deserved better than what they were handed in life but let’s go with Nina because she didn’t get to be with the guy she loved at the end 🥺
My ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship:
All my soc ships are beautiful - no I’m not taking arguments or questions.
My ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship:
Another boring answer but none. While I didn’t ship Matthias/Nina or Jesper/Wylan to the extent I did Kanej, I definitely was more enthusiastic about them than the above statement would imply.
send me a fandom

Nyx pls ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
the babe!!
first impression: I was a little worried bc the last “”hero”” character that I remembered square doing was snow from XIII and I couldn’t stand snow, but the way they made nyx loyal to an insane degree/they really Went There with the ptsd like.. he feels a lot more genuine than I expected him to be
impression now: the tragedy that is his character losing everything and giving everything up for the greater good and how he never loses sight of that (even if he wants to act flippant and snarky) it kills me he is.. Too Good
favorite moment: him watching lunafreya fling herself out of a moving airship with his mouth open like you didn’t think she’d actually do it nyx, plsI also actually really like the scene between him and libertus right after crowe dies?? I think bc someone people play down his batshit insane loyalty to regis, and here libertus is upset & throwing in the towel (understandably) and nyx is still sitting there yelling she died a glaive trying to convince him to stay like he just doesn’t know when to quit
idea for a story: MOST OF THEM OVERLAP WITH THE IGNIS IDEAS but more space/sci fi stuff I do have an idea for a (tbh more crowe-centric fic) about the glaives in space. crowe strong arms her way into a mission to investigate a space station that they lost contact with, even thought it’s Bad News, she doesn’t back down because her brothers, nyx and libertus, were on that station. and she needs to know what happened and save them if she can. 
unpopular opinion: I guess I already kind of said it, but I think people usual make Nyx out to be more irreverent than he is? at least during serious stuff with people he respects, like he’s a sarcastic little fuck for sure, and he gets flippant and snarky towards his enemies during tense life or death situations, but i think he’d probably cut of his left hand before he was caught dead saying something rude to regis imo(never forget this is the man that said He’d Fight A Hundred Wars If It Meant Peace And Boredom For Galahadians while out drinking and his friends were all like will you please shut up we are trying to have fun)
favorite relationship: PRETTY SURE THAT ONE’S OBVIOUS but nyx/ignis ofcthough there will always be a special place in my heart for luna/nyx because they were the dream team in kingsglaive
favorite headcanon: he wears booty popshis body runs hot from the king’s magic & he is a Big Time cuddler

hmu with all the jackieboy man hc you got! im working on an art project and i need some ideas to go off of ^-^
Oooh, gladly!!
(Under the cut bc there’s a Lot and it’s probably not even all of them)
He’s tall as heck (second tallest ego after Dark, tallest of the Septics) and kinda lanky, suprisingly badly coordinated when not doing his hero-y things
He has a lot of scars from past fights and accidents. Also some birthmarks, and stretchmarks on his tighs, hips, chest and back.
He’s less “super muscular comic book beef-man” and more agile and wiry and yknow. built like an actual person
Never cared much for the green hair and let it go without any fuss (egos can choose whether to keep their hair colour or let it change when their human counterpart changes it too). He should really get it cut now tho bc it’s getting Long and Bothersome
His eyes squint a lot when he smiles and it’s v cute
When not in his hero gear, he just looks like a Big Nerd. He wears flannels (or giant hoodies) and glasses (the rim of which is the same blue as his mask) and is a p shy and v friendly guy. He also loves comics and his favourite hero is Spiderman
His mask is enchanted to substitute for his glasses
He doesn’t actually have any superpowers and the only superhuman thing about him is that he’s an ego and thus he’s more resistant to damage and way harder to kill than a regular person. He gets around via parkour and a grappling hook and fights using a “homemade blend of martial arts” (- Krista). He doesn’t like weapons (tho he has a knife for emergencies bc Marvin and Anti begged him to carry one), so the most he’ll do in that regard is use a pole/staff or utilise the advantages the environment gives him.
Stubborn as fuck sometimes and would probably bleed to death before asking for help bc he didn’t want to be a bother (Marvin keeps trying to get him not to do that. They’re working on it)
He’s trans and yet to have any sort of surgery bc he hates the thought of being out of comission during the healing proccess. Instead of T and birth control, he takes potions made by Marvin bc they’re cheaper, easier to get and more convenient. Their only downside is that they don’t stop his periods completely bc Marvin is too scared to magically mess with the functions of a whole set of organs too much for fear that he’d cause a lot of damage.
He’s gay (as in, proper full rainbow not just “not straight”)
He knows how to sew and to properly operate a sewing machine, bc he just found it an interesting and useful skill to learn. It came in handy when he made his suit mostly by himself (well, his current one. The first version was just cheap spandex) (Marvin did the magical aspect of things and most of the concept art)
Since he can’t wear his binder while out and about doing his hero things (bc one should never wear a binder while exercising!) his suit is enchanted with minor illusion magic to make him look flat-chested anyway. It also helps him blend into the shadows better despite his bright colour scheme.
He’s dating Marvin btw I just realised that I should probably mention that just in case. They live together in a Big treehouse (yknow the ones that are just. actual houses in trees) and both have their own room but still share a bed a lot
He likes to curl up to make himself comfortable or when cuddling and thus he can look deceivingly small
He’s a v insistent cuddler, even more so when he’s asleep. Even if he falls asleep not clinging to the person nearest to him (including anyone who’s next to him on the couch during a movie night, not just Marvin when they’re sharing a bed) he’ll grapple for them and gravitate towards them in his sleep and just not let go of them if he can help it
His favourite place to sleep is on Marvin tho and it’s highly beneficial to both of them bc Jackie gets his much needed dose of physical contact and comfort (and gets to listen to Marvin’s heartbeat as he sleeps, which is apparently p good against nightmares) and Marvin also enjoys the closeness as well as some good good pressure stims (and a lot of kisses)
Loves flowers! There’s a lot of plants in the house (and under it on the ground), and he knows the meanings of most flowers as well
Besides Marvin, he’s probably closest to Schneep but tbh he gets along well with anyone. He strikes up short-term alliances with Anti and/or Chase every once in a while to mess with Marvin (sidenote: Anti, Chase and Marvin are the Inseparable Disaster Trio)
Likes video games tho doesn’t play nearly as much as Chase or Marvin (or Seán ofc) do. He mainly likes story-heavy games or soft, light-hearted ones like Slime Rancher, but will play other games too for the sake of playing with his friends
His biggest fear is not being able to protect his loved ones from danger (let it be him being captured and used as leverage against them or them getting hurt directly). Another v big one is the idea that “you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain” bc he obvi doesn’t wanna die young but he’d also never want to be the villain. In the end, if he had to choose he’d probably choose to die young
He has anxiety and PTSD due to the general traumatic events of being a hero, but he’s v intent on getting better so he takes his meds and tries to seek out help whenever he needs it
He’s v open about his thoughts and emotions and isn’t afraid to cry (and cry he does esp over movies. Also over TAZ when he listened to it with Marvin)
Has a big soft spot both for animals and children. He instantly got on well with Varjú (Marvin’s pet crow/familiar) when he entered the scene, and he adores Chase’s kids (who in turn adore their Uncle Jackie who’s an Actual Hero and always up for playing cool games with them or telling them stories)
He speaks French on an intermediate level, tho he’s p rusty. He could still manage if he needed to, probably
I swear he gets his life energy from positive reinforcement or something
Hates being the centre of attention for long (or amongst a lot of ppl) tho or being thanked too much for something he sees as a simple deed. He gets awkward and nervous really quick and will find the quickest way out possible
His bed is a big comfy double bed btw with like three blankets and okay only two pillows but at least ten stuffed animals (who are moved to a chair and the floor when Marvin also sleeps there, bc if not then they will end up being pushed off on accident)
He likes cooking and baking and bakes when he’s anxious
He’s also p good at drawing but unlike Marvin he doesn’t really pursue that hobby aside from a stray doodle every once in a while
Neither him nor Marvin can dance for shit but that doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy it
The later it is the more cheesy and sappy and Gay he gets and he rambles a Lot. His pick-up lines/flirting/compliments to Marvin reach the level of coherence as those made by neural networks (if you don’t know what I’m talking about I highly suggest you look up those posts bc they’re Hilarious) but Marvin finds it v endearing
As a proper Tall Person, he sometimes teases others for being shorter than him and exploits his tallness (which includes him literally just picking Schneep up, who’s the shortest Septic ego, and just putting him aside when he’s worrying about something too much)
Absolutely the Mum Friend sometimes
