Buggy × Reader +TwinsDeeBee

Support me on Ko-Fi

"Bugs I don't know about this-" You say with a frown as you stare at the man before you, finishing his makeup in the mirror and Grinning widely.

"Well they said they wanted to join me on collecting some treasure and besides next week we are starting that little vacation. Might as well get some more cash before we go" He said dismissively. You frowned at hearing this and raised a brow-

"Besides its probably the safest place, it's literally just where I stash my extra treasure! Who would be there"

You couldn't argue his logic technically- making a fake treasure pick up for the boys who had been begging to do 'pirate stuff' with their father. This seemed fairly safe and with the boys Devil fruit abilties they could protect themselves.

"I guess- but I don't want them in real danger Sweetheart"

"They will be fine, I swear" He said as he turned to finally face you, smiling brightly in his signature look. He leaned in like he was going to kiss you but you held a hand up- Both of you still in this weird relationship if you two were actually dating or not. Which made things awkward at times- Like this.

Both of you sort of froze as tension filled the air- unsure of what to say or do at this point. Thankfully the noise of your guys sons came crashing in- both boys having insisted in doing face paint like their father and doing it themselves.

"Mom! Dad! Look!!" Bee cheered loudly as both boys stood before you. The makeup on their face was- Something. Bee had clearly tried to do something like a clown makeup a sloppy layer of white layered on his face with blue on his cheeks like blush and red on his lips in a crooked smile. Dee had declined the white layer of paint and put blue on his lips in a smile and red on his cheeks.

Buggy smiled as he stared down at his boys, smiling with pride- Despite the sloppy makeup he felt a sense of pride.

"Look at you two!" He said cheerfully as he fixed hats over their heads to cover their hair- smiling brightly at this as the boys looked up at him and smiled brightly.

Ge felt a odd peg in his chest at seeing them like this, like his chest got warm and fuzzy. Buggy gave a slight body shiver to get out of it and turned to head upstairs, shaken by that warm feeling.

"We will be back later (Y/N)-" Buggy said a bit shortly to you before dismissing himself. He knew the boys were following him as he headed to the Main Deck. Once there he saw the crew was on high alert and Cabaji rushed to him.

"Sir! Strawhat pirates are ahead of us! Just around the bend" Cabaji said as he passed the telescope to him, Buggy looking through quickly as he saw in the distance the Strawhats in that hellish ship he was trapped in sailing not far from his destination.

"Captian?" Cabaji asked again, Buggy glancing down at his boys who were excitedly waiting for him.

"Let them pass- I'm not wasting my time on small fry pirates" He said nonchalantly- choosing to not let his time with his sons be disturbed by those damn Strawhats.

"We dock at Coal Island" Buggy said quickly and turned away to go to his boys, missing the deep frown from Cabaji.

Once on the island Buggy walked them through things to do- Telling them to stay close to him as he walked him to the safe spot to dig up the extra treasure.

"Now boys, this should be quick and then we head back understand? I did see a ship passing and we need to-" He stopped as he heard silence and turned to see the boys gone. In less then 30 God damn seconds they were gone!?

"Boys?.. Boys!?" Buggy yelled out in confusion as he saw that his spawns were missing from his sides.

He ran around the island wildly, his stress spiking as he tried to find his children. Panic rushing through his system as he darted around wildly on the island searching for his kids. Even getting into some beef with a large bird- hearing chattering behind a large Boulder he froze, recognizing the tone of those little voices as his kids.

Blades out he jumped around the corner and damn near felt himself have a brain aneurysm at what he saw- lowering his blades he stared.

Buggy felt an acute pain in his temple as he watched his boys talk to the Strawhat pirate crew and being the social butterflies they were in making new friends.

"That's so cool! You're stretchy!?" Bee said excitedly as Luffy laughed and let the child pull on his arm to show his elasticity- Usopp spinning some stupid story to the overly energetic child.

Dee was looking up at Nami and Zoro in awe, shyly asking both of them questions. Nami about the weird tattoo on her arm, Zoro about the swords. Nami gushing at the adorable boy and ended up picking him up and holding him in a hug as he asked them questions. Sanji even gifting the two some cookies he had in a bag with a kind smile.

"For the love of- Boys come here now! Don't make friends with the enemy!" Buggy yelled and marched over red faced to take his boys from the Strawhat pirates.

The crew immediately getting defensive over seeing him and wanting to take these wondering children in bad face paint.

"Binky?-" Luffy said with a sense of indifference. Zoro's hand coming to his blade calmly, even Nami holding Bee closer like she was going to protect the little tyrant.

"It's Buggy Damn It!-" He yelled still marching forward.

"But Dad!-" Both boys started, Making the whole crew freeze and Buggy wanting to sob in defeat.

"Dad?!-" the whole crew parroting as the discovery was made. Buggy groaned at this as he rubbed his temple trying to figure out if a very late late abortion was an option.

"Yes these are my kids... Danny and Benny- Boys these are the bastard Strawhat pirates that seem to exist to be a thorn in my ass-" He deadpanned before taking Dee from Nami with a glare and set him down calmly next to him. Bee looking up at the irritated Buggy with a confused look.

"Wait, Someone actually let you ejaculate I to them?" Zoro questioned calmly as he gestured to the two kids with bad face paint on them.

"Dad what does ejaculate mean?" Dee asked, which earned a snort from Sanji. Buggy glared at them all and sighed.

"Ask your mother later and Yes- I do have a social life" He deadpanned at Zoro for the sly insult to his abilties to have a sex life.

An awkward silence followed at this, Buggy gesturing for his kids to get behind him which they did- Still munching away on the cookies Sanji had gifted them.

"Listen I'm in no mood to fight- While I'd love a chance to beat you strawhat-"

"We wouldn't fight you infront of your children" Luffy said calmly as he gestured to the boys, Grinning proudly. Zoro nodded at this. "Nor are we going to say anything about them either"

The clown blinked in surprise at this feeling a bit confused over this. They had a chance to get the upper hand on him, Hell even an emotional weakness of learning of his kids. Yet they were just letting him go? And his kids without wishing to say anything.

Buggy felt conflicted... normally he would have used the fact that the Strawhats were distracted to attack them and get the upper hand but... he couldnt... he couldn't just let his kids be used as bait or have them in that type of danger... while he had always appreciated being raised on Roger's ship and the experience it had given him but- He couldn't never put his kids in that same envirment, he loved them too much...

He nodded at the crew for this, not having words for his gratitude nor wishing to vocalize it. Guiding the kids away he felt his mind racing at this point, walking them back to were his treasure was buried and the three of them retrieved his hidden loot. Letting the boys chatter and do as they pleased before heading back to the ship- Still mentally out of it from these feelings he was having.

"Hey Dad?" Bee's voice snapped him from his thoughts, looking at his son holding his hand and the other holding the small bag of treasure since he wanted to carry something.

"Hm?" The clown hummed in question. Bee smiled proudly at Buggy as he squeezed his hand.

"I love you Dad!" Buggy felt a ping yo his chest like Bee had just shot warmth through him, feeling the squeeze on his other hand and looking to Dee who also smiled.

"I love you Dad" Dee said too, smiling brightly up at him and squeezing his gloved hand too.

Buggy felt hot tears well in his eyes, looking at both twins and using his Chop Chop abilities scooped them both in his arms with care.

"Love you guys too peanuts" He said with a smile as he walked them back to the ship. Ignoring the stares of his crew as he boarded his ship holding his boys with pride.

Walking down to his Cabin were he knew you were he kicked open the door with his foot and looked at you. Who was seated there surprised by his rather blunt arrival into the room. "Buggy?-"

"I'm in love with you, I-I don't know what that means emotionally but I'm fairly sure I love you and the boys more then I knew possible" Buggy blurted out, you'd never seen this side of him before. He almost looked afraid at this point like you were holding the one thing that could kill him, which in some way you were... his heart.

"I-I well.. We can always start back up Bugs if you want... and it's natural to love your children" You say shyly, Watching him set the boys down and walk to you. Pulling you up to your feet and kissing you, you felt every drop of emotion from his hungry lips as he devoured you heart and soul. Blushing cherry red you couldn't help but kiss him back, holding him close as you two shared in the passionate kiss.

Pulling away for air Biggy grinned at you, his eyes sparkling as he looked on you in awe.

"I love you" Hear him whisper, When you tried to reply you heard Cabaji call out for Buggy for assistance.

"You should um...take care of that" You say softly.

He smiled brightly as he gently released you. Calling back out to Cabaji as he reached over to remove the boys hats and ruffle their hair before heading out.

You stood there blushing as Buggy left, a wide smile on his lips as he headed upstairs to assist with his crew. You giggle as you turn to look at your boys, wiping some of the red from your lips

"Hey Mom?" Bee started, looking up at you like tye adorable God damn bean he was.

"Yes my heart?"

"What does ejaculate mean?" Dee asked, staring up at you in question. You froze in your spot- hearing the fast footsteps from Buggy as he rushed to the Main Deck clearly wishing to escape you.

"BUGGY!!!"

== Love Notes ==

Alright lovelies. I have so many words to say about how great you all are, how much I love you (and I'm sure you're tired of hearing them), but I went back to work today after 7 days of being sick and now my brain is mush. So instead I'm going to put the text of one of my son's books in here because I think every one of us should feel loved like we were when we were 5.

On The Night You Were Born - By Nancy Tillman On the night you were born, the moon smiled with such wonder that the stars peeked in to see you and the night wind whispered, “Life will never be the same.” Because there had never been anyone like you… ever in the world. So enchanted with you were the wind and the rain, that they whispered the sound of your wonderful name. It sailed through the farmland High on the breeze… Over the ocean… And through the trees… Until everyone heard it and everyone knew of the one and only ever you. Not once had there been such eyes, such a nose, such silly, wiggly, wonderful toes. When the polar bears heard, they danced until dawn. From faraway places, the geese flew home. The moon stayed up until morning next day. And none of the ladybugs flew away. So whenever you doubt just how special you are and you wonder who loves you, how much and how far, Listen for geese honking high in the sky. (They’re singing a song to remember you by.) Or notice the bears asleep at the zoo. (It’s because they’ve been dancing all night for you!) Or drift off to sleep to the sound of the wind. (Listen closely… it’s whispering your name again!) If the moon stays up until morning one day, or a ladybug lands and decides to stay, or a little bird sits at your window awhile, it’s because they’re all hoping to see you smile… For never before in story or rhyme (not even once upon a time) has the world ever known a you, my friend, and it never will, not ever again… Heaven blew every trumpet And played every horn On the wonderful, marvelous Night you were born

Three Peas In A Pod I

Summary: The start of an adventure with you and your twins. Characters: Shanks x Buggy x F!Reading (she/her). OC Twins. (Rosa & Azul) Word Count: 740 Chapter Warnings: None

Masterlist | Series Masterlist || Send Me An Ask?

Chapter I: Legend of the Yellow Haired Pirate

“A Hundred Million?” Your son, Azul gaped as his grasp was firm on the bounty placed on one of the newspapers you’ve burrowed from the last island you’ve all stopped by.

It was a sight to see him this animated, far from the resentment of having to stay in an island filled with just the memories and stories of your time in the sea, alongside his father. He was a spitting image of him, even going as far as having his personality, with the only thing that was different with him was the lack of the red nose like his father, which was, one of the only thing your son had inherited from you instead. A part of you wondered how Buggy would think of his own son hoping and praying to be just like him when he grows up to his full potential.

The shock of your son was the last of your problems that you needed to deal with. It wasn’t much but considering that you had decided to remain on land for the past decade and a half since you found out about your pregnancy and now, as your twins had decided that they wanted to follow in their fathers’ footstep, all you could do was oblige.

Taking down a Marine Ship on your first day back, it was chaos that earn not only you but your twins a poster with a hefty bounty on your head and a good start for the twins that were already given a thirty million to their name.

The rest of the crew aboard at the ship were more than amused by your son’s antics. Initially he had led to believe he could flashily take the lower ranking marine down with his numerous smoke bomb but it became more of a nuisance than much of an assistance for everyone involved. But A for effort as the Captain was far too distracted by the smoke to avoid your daughter’s sword attack.

It was team effort for the twins and that was what’s important to the two still too young apprentice you’ve found yourself having in the form of your children. It brought all the memories of your lovers back all over again. How memories of your shared time in Gol D. Roger’s ship was filled with chaos and glory before it all came crashing down at its disbandment and your Captain’s eventual execution.

“I started at twenty million so you two gotten better than I did when I started.” You tried your best to reassure your son before turning your attention to your daughter that wasn’t much affected by the bounty in her name, simply enjoying the fact that she already had one on the first raid.

“Maybe someday, I might even surpass Dad for my bounty.” Rosa spoke, a gleam in her eyes at the possibility.

You blinked at her statement. Unlike her brother, Rosa had been indifferent on whether she would want to stay in the island or set sail to retrieve the One Piece, all she wanted was to have you and her brother at whatever misadventure destiny would place upon you.

“I want you two to pass each and every single one of us one day.” You grinned messing with her red hair as well as her brother’s own blue ones. “I can’t stop either of you from this life, might as well make sure you both become the greatest amongst all.”

You had your own legend and your own stories, being a daughter of who was once Gol D. Roger’s greatest adversary, but had chosen to create a reputation of your own away from his name. You would wish the same fate to be given to your children, once you are certain that they can take care of themselves, you will set them free and let them explore the world as they see fit.

“When I’m grey and old, all I would ever wish is for the two of you to get the One Piece and make a name for yourselves with or without me.” You spoke, earning the cheers from the rest of the crew that had been a devout part of your life even when you had momentarily settled down, all of them ready as ever to get back with just a single word.

When the time comes, if it was you or if it was them, you will all make a name for yourselves.

Seven by Taylor Swift

I always interpreted this song as someone looking back at their childhood nostalgic memories and remembering that one troubled friend who left a deep mark in their psyche but for whatever circumstances they lost touch with one another. This edit kind of depicts the time during the “between years" where they thought of one another but never reached out. This one’s especially from Ian’s POV and all those flashback of memories that compelled him to finally reach out and arrange the meet up with Anthony after a nudge from Dianne. Ian wonders if Anthony still thinks of him, if he still reminisces about their past as fondly as Ian does.

Below are the lyrics with explanation/interpretation in Ian and Anthony's context:

[POV IAN] :

Please picture me In the trees I hit my peak at seven feet In the swing Over the creek I was too scared to jump in

Ian wants his friend to remember him by the fun escapades they shared together. He reminisces about their first 6th grade science project, all their sleepovers, the trips, their first experience with alcohol near the riverside in Sacramento. In their big group of friends how these two became closer due to the fact that he didn’t know how to drive and Anthony was the one who drove him home after school, how after graduation when everyone left for college, these two remained in the suburbs, unsure about their future.

But I, I was high in the sky With Pennsylvania under me Are there still beautiful things?

Ian once said "I'm not exactly the poster child for following your dreams, because I never had any”. He never had exact dreams about career or whatever the future had in store for him. Smosh became a place where Ian and Anthony expressed themselves, an outlet to make each other laugh and with smosh blowing up he finally found his dream: to keep making fun stuff with his best friend which for some reason random strangers over the internet connected with. They were riding the high that came with smosh’s success unaware of the fact that this newfound business relationship would tower over their years of close friendship.

Sweet tea in the summer Cross your heart, won't tell no other And though I can't recall your face I still got love for you Your braids like a pattern Love you to the moon and to Saturn Passed down like folk songs The love lasts so long

Their genuine love and adoration for one another, how they shared every secret with each other, how Ian lied to Anthony about his first kiss in hopes to impress his new friend in 7th grade and in later years opening up about the lie as he finally got his actual first kiss…. in his friend’s bedroom. Slowly these tender moments fizzled out as they grew up, as their channel grew, and so did their stress and workload. Though, they aren't the people they once were, but their mutual love and respect for each other remained deeply ingrained in their hearts.

And I've been meaning to tell you I think your house is haunted Your dad is always mad and that must be why And I think you should come live with Me and we can be pirates Then you won't have to cry Or hide in the closet And just like a folk song Our love will be passed on

Ian knew that Anthony came from a broken home, and how he lost an authoritative figure, his step dad, who abandoned Anthony’s mother and his step-brothers when he was merely a 12 year old, and due to his tumultuous situation at home, Anthony got this heavy responsibility on his shoulders of his family. Anthony feared that his mothers agoraphobia would somehow find a way towards him too and he would stay stuck in this haunted situation which he desperately wanted to break away from. When Anthony fell sick due to his autoimmune disease, Ian’s mom urged his son to visit his friend. The get well soon card he got signed by everyone in their class and gave to Anthony. After their graduation Ian’s parents invited Anthony for a trip to Hawaii and that was the first time when Anthony got to experience something away from his haunted house back in Sacramento. He got to experience what a complete family felt like vicariously through Ian.

Passed down like folk songs Our love lasts so long

No matter how many obstacles there were, the power of friendship conquered it all. They not only got their company back but also rekindled their friendship. They said everything had to happen the way it happened for them to eventually reunite. They might be complete opposites but there is this red string of fate that lingers between them. Their creative partnership is too strong and in the end they proved that “Friendship always wins”.

#smosh #ian hecox #anthony padilla #ianthony #besties #platonic soulmates??#I got too emo while making this lol #sorry for the bad quality T-T #☀️🔍#a friendship like THIS #taylor swift #seven

Thinking about Stede building the Revenge for him and his family. How he knew he was unhappy and so was Mary and probably so were the kids, but his first thought/plan A was for them all to go live at sea together instead of running away himself. A stupid plan based on a self-centered idea of what might make things better? Absolutely, he clearly had a monkey playing symbols in his brain listening to Mary talk about her hatred of the ocean. But he built the Revenge as a home for his family, with a room for the kids (Jim and Olu's room?) and a library which contained children's stories and secret passageways for fun, for playing games.

Having listened to a lot of true crime podcasts with shitty-father villains, it strikes me how the idea that Stede could have just taken the kids is literally never touched on. Yeah, he probably knew he couldn't take care of them on his own, maybe didn't want to (we only really see him interacting with them by playing pirates), but Alma and Louis remain the only people Stede has canonically said the words "I love you" to (yes yes he loves Ed he was about to say it to him in s2e4 and switched tactics, but putting them in a similar category with Ed is pretty telling imo). Like...it probably never once occurred to Stede that another man might have taken the kids with him to spite his ex or to live their happy life of playing pirates on the high seas. Mary said I don't want a boat, I don't hate our lives, and Stede went welp, guess I'm on my own then.

There's a lot that can be said about Stede as a distant father who abandoned his family. I'm not saying he's the bastion of perfect fatherhood. But he's so clearly torn up about leaving them because he knows, morally, that was wrong, and even after he sets things right, he still talks about them ("two messed up kids probably/ didn't fit in with Mary and the kids") which tbh, I thought we were never gonna mention the Bonnet family again after s1e10.

Idk. I think Stede loves his kids as best he can for someone who probably never wanted them, and ultimately helped them out in the long run by not having them have to grow up in a miserable household with unhappy parents and an emotionally distant father who simply couldn't do better than playing games with them.

Also, thinking about how a lot of OFMD is thematic rather than verbally explicit...I think it's incredibly telling how upset Alma was when Stede came back, and that she wanted split the orange so they would still be connected no matter how far apart they were. That in a show with pretty heavy-handed symbolism of physically/emotionally abusive fathers and cycles, the kids are never, ever shown to be afraid of Stede, that when they play together they're all happy, that Stede says he loves them even though they were asleep and didn't hear it, and that the one time they physically touch, it's Alma reaching out to tug Stede's hair in a playful way, and he responds in kind. That Stede breaks the cycle of emotionally distant and abusive fathers by A. Not belittling them ever and B. Leaving when he realized his presence was making things worse.

Tl;dr Stede Bonnet is objectively a bad dad, but he still loves his kids.

#idk im having feelings #and im very willing to be wrong on this and hear other opinions #but yeah stede as a dad gets to me #ofmd #stede bonnet #alma bonnet #louis bonnet

ive been on here like five times but I have THEORIES DAMMIT

let kings come to the domain of the stars. Or let the kings rule over the stars? It really depends on the context of dominion — whether it means have dominion or if it means dominion like a place. And if any of those marks were punctuation, it may mean something else entirely

surely some star binds me to you

oh my god we got a reference to the title, let me explain more (and my small theory)

ok so they both died (Ed and mystery man who we're gonna call Canadian gramps, or CG) and ended up in the world of one piece. Ed died in 2023 and cg died around 20 years ago which was 2004. surprise surprise, in 2004 in the real word volume 32, the one that ended skypiea and started long ring long land, volume 33 with the Davy back fight, volume 34 THE INTRO TO WATER SEVEN, and volume 35 still in water 7, were all released. let me say the again, the two volumes that were introducing water 7 were released in 2004, the year that CG supposedly died in. i think that CG and Ed knew each other in a past life, maybe they were related or maybe they weren't, but not in the real world, but this kingdom that has been mentioned. Ed and CG are connected to the stars, I think its trying to let us believe that either they are gods or do literally have actual control over them, they rule over them. surely some star binds me to you, a star that they perhaps both share or rule over. the fact that Ed ate devil fruit that can flip an entire island isn't a coincidence, they don't just turn the gravity of others but CONTROL THEM. i think we can even assume that CG may have had some sort of power after he died a second time and was sent to one piece. Ed is more powerful then we are let on, even Ed isn't aware of this. Ed was almost talking to their past self in the dream they had, when they're talking to their mouth I believe it was past Ed, before they were reincarnated. they boy that the others mentioned, it reminds me of Luffy but I don't believe so, I think its either CG or Joyboy. I think that Ed has some sort of connection to Joyboy and maybe even CG does too. when Ed says that they saw a halo above Luffy I don't think it was just delirium, I think its supposed to be Ed seeing Luffy as Joyboy. Ed, CG, and Joyboy were possibly kings or gods of the stars and they died. they died and only CG and Ed were taken to the "real world" but Joyboy stayed back, CG and Ed died again and came (back?) to one piece. this isn't going to turn into Ed finding out who CG is but finding out they were once apart of the stars. surely some star binds me to you, maybe it does, maybe they are bound by the stars. also I'm pretty sure he died 20 years ago right? I was kinda confused with the years and stuff in the new chapter so if you explain plssssss

Your brain is doing things. Your theory definitely hits quite a few interesting points, which I appreciate. As a reward for being such a sweetheart, I’ll give you a hint. Pseudo dad/uncle (or Canadian gramps, which is hilarious) did not die in 2004. Take that as you will, and happy theorying.

The year thing from last chapter was like this; Roger died and the Roger Pirates disbanded around 20 years ago in canon, which is when Ed assumed CG gave Crocus the spyglass. The Oro Jackson was built some time before the God Valley incident, which was 39 years before canon (post-timeskip time I believe, so more like 37 years current time) and Ed guessed that CG had the coin stamped in the spyglass made when they were on Water 7 to get the ship. That doesn’t give us any definitive knowledge about what age CG was, or when they could have arrived in the world of One Piece. Mayhaps the answer shall be revealed this saga, but who knows.

So, the Knuckles Show...

It was a hassle to attempt and find the show somewhere else (pirate if you wanna watch), and also I had a lot going on that day, BUT!

I have finally finished all six episodes of Knuckles, and my final thoughts...!

...It was pretty good.

Honestly, nothing to ground-breaking and outstanding but it was fantastic and such a lovely treat to hardcore Knuckles fans. Like me lol. (It may not look like it, but TRUST ME THIS SHOW TURNED ME INTO A HARDCORE KNUCKLES FAN.)

All of my thoughts are under the cut, but to make a long story short, I really enjoyed it! (Forgive this post and me I'm not the best at sharing reviews DX)

Now, some things I wanna point out... (MASSIVE SPOILERS AND PERSONAL HEADCANONS AHEAD)

THOUGHTS ON CHARACTERS

I really liked Wade Whipple. He's goofy, and dorky, and he was fantastic for saving his family and Knuckles. His character arc was really interesting to watch, and he's got a lot of funny moments. Him and Knuckles also make a great team. I believe he would make a great Uncle for Knuckles. XD

Knuckles' arc was fantastic too. I was hoping that he realizes that Earth is his home, and he did. The Movie Series version of Knuckles is definitely my favorite version of Knuckles. EVER. Love this character to death. Number one favorite character right now.

The story was pretty good, too. Interesting that Knuckles isn't the only main focus, but I was onboard with the idea that Wade is also in the spotlight. I liked Wade but I love him A LOT.

The whole drama with Wade's family was something that honestly caught me off guard, but in a good way. It's just great to see more of his extended family. (And Wade's mother and is just so sweet and cool.)

Mason and Willoughby were fun to watch. Almost better than Orbot and Cubot, honestly. XD

The Buyer... I kind of forgot about him until the last few episodes. XD Cool villain, though!

Pachacamac... Never thought I would actually enjoy this character. Really wish he got enough screen time, dude is so hilarious. So much better than the Pachacamac we all knew from Adventure 1 pffffft. And hearing Doc Brown's voice coming out of Mac's mouth was the best part. He fits the role perfectly.

WACHOWSKI FAMILY CRUMBS! WE GOT TO SEE MORE OF THE WACHOWSKIS! It was only for one episode, but it's just so refreshing to see Knuckles with his newfound family, especially Tails. (Even though he didn't get enough screentime.)

No Donut Lord... 😔

MY HEADCANONS OF THE EVENTS DURING THE SHOW (and afterwards)

The house is still in construction after the second film. I have a feeling that the Knuckles show took place probably a month or two after the second film. (Or at least after the baseball field scene from the movie.)

And if that's the case, then it's probably why Sonic and Tails haven't called Maddie "mom" yet. Sonic JUST made Donut Dad official, but not hearing Sonic calling Maddie "mom" didn't surprise me, actually. Since he had a mother figure once before, and now she's gone. Sonic is probably still struggling to make Mama Maddie official after that whole mess. 🥺

And also I think Tails does look at Tom and Maddie as his parents, but calls them by their first names because that's what he's most comfortable with for now.

Sonic mentions that Tails and Knuckles are his roommates. ...Something tells me that he hasn't realized the bigger picture yet. 😈 Once the realization hits, it's over for the middle child.

I seriously don't believe Knuckles is sticking with the Whipples. He's got a bed at home, and "pretzel woman" is a motherly title of sorts for Maddie. I just think Knuckles and Wade have formed a really strong bond. Wade is more of a uncle figure for him, but the Whipples are part of the Wachowskis regardless. 💕

I bet Knuckles' grape stash that the moment Knuckles walks back home with Wade, Sonic, Tails and Maddie (and Tom if he came home) freaks the hell out because he just straight up left home without an explanation. Especially since he's grounded and shouldn't have step foot out of the house. But all that matters is that Knuckles is at home with his family. Did this calm everybody down? No, and yes. It's hard to explain. (At least Sonic knows now that Knuckles can finally relax.)

Ever since the events of the Knuckles Show, seeing visions of Pachacamac is pretty normal for Knuckles, whether he needs to be guided for something even if it's small, or he just casually shows up in his dreams just to say "hi." I feel like since he visited Wade while he was unconscious, I think Pachacamac would also visit other people's dreams or visions. It be so goddamn funny if this dude just randomly show up in Sonic's dream, scaring the living daylights out of him, and when he explains it to Knuckles, he's like: "Oh, that's just Mac, he's cool." and Sonic is like: "???????"

THOUGHTS ON THE EPISODES - Fair warning, I've only seen these episodes ONCE (Including some clips I rewatched on Tumblr.) so some things here might be fuzzy or wrong, so bare with me here...

Episode 1 was a great start. I love the dynamic Sonic and Knuckles has. Bummer that we didn't get to see more of them together, but with the power of writing, that problem can be solved! (HUZZAH!) I love the small bit with Knuckles and his mother Maddie after he got grounded and how he just, took it okay with the fact that he's grounded. And I love Sonic trying to help his new buddy out, he's an absolute sweetheart for that. Pachacamac's appearance in the episode took me by surprise and he was such a joy to watch. Love the elderly goofball. Seeing Knuckles and Wade interact was nice, too, even when he gets to talk about his dad. It was a nice moment. And Knuckolas Cage. Best nickname ever, how dare Knuckles decline such a title for a perfect warrior XD

Episode 2 was great. Absolutely love the daydream scene with Wade's plan on saving Knuckles from the G.U.N. agents, and Holding Out For a Hero playing in the background. GOLDEN. Don't remember much else other than that and Knuckles and Wade rocking out to so music. (And Knuckles breaking the radio again.)

Episode 3 is when we get to see Wade's family members, and it was nice. Wanda is one of those siblings that we had and Wendy (is that her name?) is just so lovely. We got to know more of Knuckles' dad, and once more, it was a tender moment between an Echidna and a dork-ass Uncle. 😊 And we got a EPIC fight scene with Knuckles, Wendy and the goons. It was AWESOME. Also, love Wade's room. He's got good taste.

Episode 4... Oh, my God. It was a fever dream. Literally. It was so RIDICULOUS but it was the greatest thing I've ever seen in a long time. XD I love musical numbers that just come out of NOWHERE, and this was one of them! Adam Pally (Wade) in a Knuckles costume is just the most elegant thing. AND ECHIDNA MUPPETS ARE REAL! I WAS HOPING THAT THEY WOULD ACTUALLY BRING IN THE ECHIDNA MUPPET!! Jokes aside, it was a strangely epic episode of Wade going through Knuckles' past in a unique way. And the songs were pretty great. ...You think that's where all the budgeting went? On this gorgeous musical number? /j Also we got more of my boy Pachacamac, being one of my favorite characters besides Knuckles lmao GOD I wish we got more of Pachacamac. I love him so much XD

Episode 5 Is when they arrive at Reno. It was alright. We got to see Wade meeting his dad finally (also Knuckles is using a phone no problem I guess??) I think that's all I remember. WE GOT KNUCKLES WITH THE HAT THOUGH SO YEAH!

Episode 6 is the last one of the mini series and it was pretty kick-ass. More cool fight scenes, with Knuckles and the Agents, him against the Buyer, which was short and sweet, but still pretty intense. Wade and Pete was competing in bowling. Kept forgetting about that, but it was cool regardless. And Wade being the best uncle ever and protecting Knuckles while he was out. Also kind of forgot a lot from this episode, but nonetheless, badass way to end the mini series. Complete with the classic freeze frame of Knuckles and Wade getting a high five! Knuckles realizing that his home is on Earth was such a powerful scene. It was the first Sonic movie all over again.

And yes, there was a pretty quick post credits scene where Knuckles found a song and claimed it was his jam. It was really cute. XD

Really wish there was a scene where Knuckles came back home to the Wachowskis with the family flipping the lid over the fact that he left the house, but in my heart I know damn well it happened. I know this series too well lmao

That's pretty much all I wanna say about how this show made me feel. It was a fun time. Not was insane as Movie 1 and 2, but still as enjoyable.

Honestly, after watching this, I hope we get a Wachowski family TV show, where it's just the family on misadventures, and moments together that are comedic, fluffy, angst, any emotion you wanna feel watching it, and it's just a good time. I just wanna see more of this goofy little growing family. (Also it'd be cool if season 1 was after the first movie because I wanna see Sonic adjusting to his new life with Tom and Maddie and spending traditions and holidays with them before the sequel.) I love this series too much. 😅

This show got me really ambitious to work on my stories and I really wanna show the community how amazing these characters are. (I just need to get an AO3 in the future...)

It feels good to be back on the Wachowski bandwagon.

The Knuckles Show is flawed, but it was a fun time. I love the characters, I love the story, I love the choice of songs they used, and of course, I love Knuckles. This is the best we've ever seen of Knuckles, and I'm proud of how far this little, tough guy has came.

The Echidna Warrior made his debut 30 years ago, and he's never been stronger. Keep on punching, Knuckles! 😎💕

#piko rambles #knuckles wachowski #sonic movie 2020 #knuckles series #knuckles series spoilers #I don't really do review posts. Just wanted to share my thoughts on the show.

~More Pain~

Summary: Vaggie’s back pain flares up again during work and regresses to help.

As Vaggie unloaded the last of the boxes off of the Carmine Delivery truck, throbbing erupted from her shoulder blades and middle back. She almost dropped the box she was carrying but managed to keep it from falling. Once it was placed in a good position, she stretched her back out, hoping that it would help. Unfortunately, it didn’t do much.

She needed to lie down. Usually, resting on her side, stomach or back, helped. After signing a few papers for the reinforced weapons and angelic building material, she stumbled over to the couch. The pain was getting so bad that she could barely walk. She flopped onto the hard, uncomfortable coup and groaned. The bad cushion wasn’t very good but lying down did help a bit. Afterall, she was on her feet almost all day, she needed to rest.

However, this flare up was one of her worse ones. The couch didn’t help much and her back still hurt. Then, out of nowhere, it felt like her eye was being stabbed again, even though she only had a socket.

“Aargh!” She yelped and covered her eye.

“Vaggie? You good there?” Lucifer walked in the room and heard her pained voice yell. It worried him since he’s barely seen her in pain.

Instead of answering, she whimpered. It sounded more of a groan though. She was in too much pain to speak.

Lucifer walked over to the couch she was laying on and sat there. “You getting phantom pains?” he asked. She nodded.

“They shouldn’t have taken your eye and wings, sweetie. You didn’t deserve that,” he rubbed a soothing hand along her back, trying to massage it a little. Surprisingly, it actually managed to help. But it only lessened the agony a little bit.

“Is there anything I can do to help?” He asked. She finally had enough strength to speak.

“I- I’d like to regress… can- can you grab Charlie for me?”

“Of course, sweetie, I’ll be right back with her,” He promised before getting up to go find her.

While he was gone, Vaggie allowed herself to slip into her smolspace and curled up.

When Lucifer returned with Charlie, they saw her softly whimpering and a few tears down her cheeks. Charlie immediately rushed over. She had Vaggie’s bag in her hand and took out her stuffed goat and cat. The cat had a cute pirate costume on with an eyepatch.

“Hey, my dad told me that you’re having flare ups again,” she handed Vaggie the two plushies, which she squeezed tightly. It was scary, and she needed the extra comfort.

Charlie lifted the girl up and put her in her lap, petting her hair and giving her forehead kisses. Kisses always made things better.

Charlie cuddled with Vaggie as they watched a movie on the couch. Whenever Charlie needed to get up to go grab something, Vaggie would whine and pout, almost screeching for Charlie to return. So they came up with a system that if Vaggie needed a bottle refill, a snack, some of her toys, or anything else, they would get Lucifer to get it for her. He was more than happy to help. How could he say no?

Luckily, the movie and regressing helped distract her from the pain. She forgot she even had her wings ripped off. Overall, pain was a bitch, but when you have a good coping mechanism, it won’t be so bad.

i love your q!quackity writings sm omgomg pls do more🫶🏽

Perfectly Wrong (q!Quackity)

Hello thank you for enjoying them. Here another. I really wanted to use this song so I came up with this idea. The song is ‘Perfectly Wrong by Shawn Mendez’ i hope you enjoy it and leave me more request :) maybe next story will be ether pirate!Karl or ghost face!Sapnap or something totally different

Quackity list Masterlist

************

In an instant clock, you both hit it off. Meeting at the house party at Roiers. While dancing started and drinks. It was nothing special but it was nice. They meet through a mutual friend, Wilbur, he introduced you both. Then you two would talk and shortly get together. There were many up and down to this relationship you both had for each other. Some good and some bad.

A good memory would be when you, tilin, and, quackity would have a talk by the water having a camp there for a quest. The fire was going low. Finding some branches on the floor. To see quackity talking to tilin with a smile on his face. Tilin looks at you with a smile and then notices a shooting star they point to it as I sat beside tilin with a smile. ‘Since you saw it you get to make a wish. Wish about anything.’ You smiled while tilin close their eyes. ‘I wish that me, my dad and dad/mom will always be together and be a happy family forever.’ Opening their eye looking between you and quackity. ‘Do you think it will come true?’ They were curious as I nod. ‘ we will always be a happy family. You, Me, and your dad tilin.’ Tilin started to fall asleep on you as you smiled. ‘Always happy huh?’ He questions as he looks over at you. ‘Always happy no matter what happens. Even if something bad happens,’ placing a free hand on his cheek, ‘I will be there for you quackity.’ He flashes a smile and then stares at tilin with a smile.

Losing our Tilin was the worst case of our bad times. Tilin was our egg and our family. After losing them everything would end up in a fight. Even cleaning around the house we both shared. You would ask nicely but he takes offense to it. The love between us was dying but in every scenario, we would both end up in each other arms.

Recently, when Wilbur came back from his trip. You notice quackity wasn't there in the house. So you check your map and notice him heading to where Wilbur was. Using Enderpearl to make it halfway there to hear talking some spam e in front of you. Hiding behind some tree to hear only a bit of their conversation. 'Hey, big q who are you and y/n?' Wilbur would ask but quackity ignore it. 'Is that your egg?' Quackity put to someone in the distance to see another egg that looks like Wilbur. 'Yeah I've ...' he cut him off, ' because of you leaving you made me lose my child.' Your heart stops. 'I thought you and y/n were raising one together.' Quackity laughed, 'You think I wanted an egg together with them? I wanted an egg with you,' you froze hearing the words out of his mouth. 'But look at things you have an egg for yourself so you left my tilin for your daughter,' Wanting to leave you tilted your head a little to see Wilbur trying to explain what happened till he looked at you with sad eyes. Quackity stares at Wilbur to notice he wasn't looking at him but what was behind him. He turned to not see anyone. Wilbur invites Quackity to meet his daughter. You slide down the tree with your knees to your chest. He never wanted to be with you. He only claimed to be tilin only parent you weren't brought once. You hoped he didn't mean it like the way he put it. So you left. Going back to the house. Heading towards where tilin would sleep to see one of their extra bows next to the bed. Held it up close to your heart. Crying for tilin. Telling the gods that you would do anything. But it was set as stone tilin was never coming back.

For what felt like an hour, hearing the front door open seeing quackity slouching a little. He came up to you bringing up your hand to kiss them. He looks up at you with admiration. This was the up to your relationship with him. How sweet he was. How caring he was. And you loved him. If you wanted to leave it would hurt you so much. So you never left. Pushing down your pain to only see the good loving side of this relationship. That night you both slept side by side as if there are no problems in your relationship.

#x y/n #twitchstreamer #fanfic #mcyt x y/n #mcyt fanfiction #qsmp tilin #qsmp fanfiction #qsmp quackity #quackity x y/n #quackity x reader #quackityhq #alex quackity #quackity #qsmp #q!quackity #q!quackity x reader

meeting stede bonnet

a slow meandering through June. prompt nine: mask

day 1 | day 2 | day 3 | day 4 | day 5 | day 6 | day 7 | day 8 | day 9 | day 10

Stede had kids.

Ed only knew this because there was a single picture of them in Stede’s flat—a pink frame in his kitchen, right by his coffee maker. Two kids. The boy, younger, had just the faintest trace of Stede in his nose, but the girl, Ed could see, the girl was Stede through and through.

Stede missed them.

Ed knew this because it was impossible not to know it. Stede never talked about them, but absent fathers who didn’t give a shit didn’t generally keep pictures next to their coffee makers to greet them in the mornings.

“Took us a long time to get there,” Stede said, interrupting Ed’s thoughts. He slipped past Ed, seated on his kitchen worktop, to pick it up. “I wasn’t a very good father, I’m afraid. Alma—” he pointed to the girl, then the boy. “And Louis.”

Ed was there for movie night. Netflix and chill, he’d said over text, and Stede had actually responded with a list of films: John Waters’ romances, cerebral masterpieces, last year’s Best Picture, and then at the end, almost shyly, a horror.

Ed chose the horror, obviously. He didn’t doubt his ability to get Stede in his arms, but he liked building in an excuse anyway.

He wanted to wrap around Stede now. Ed hesitated—this wasn’t usually the sort of conversation for a second—third?—date—but, fuck it. Stede looked like he needed comfort. Ed wanted to give it to him.

Was it really any harder than that?

He slid off the counter, slid his arms around Stede’s waist to hook his chin over his shoulder. “I’m sure you weren’t that bad.”

Stede shook his head. “We think—we like to think we can hide things. They’re just kids, right? What do they know? What do they notice?”

Ed remembered what he’d noticed, as a kid. Not that his dad tried to hide much of it, and his mom—there was only so much she could do.

“Pretty much everything,” he admitted. Then he added, hoping to make Stede laugh, “Observant little shits, aren’t they?”

He did laugh, though not very long. He leaned further into Ed’s hold. “Alma asked me once,” Stede went on, very quiet, “if it was their fault. That I was so unhappy.”

Ed winced.

“Not exactly a great start to a Tuesday morning,” Stede agreed. He set the picture back on the counter. “I could hardly pretend anymore after that, could I? Divorce went through maybe nine months ago. Took this photo last month, at the aquarium. We played pirates.”

“They look happy.” Ed pressed a kiss to Stede’s cheek. “You look happy, too.”

“We were, I think. And I’m, well. I’m trying to be.”

Stede turned in Ed’s arms, exhaled hard, offered up a weak smile. “Sorry. Not exactly what you came here for tonight, was it? Let’s see about that movie.”

“Hey,” Ed said, waiting for Stede to look back at him, rubbed his arms a little. “I’m here for like, whatever this is, all right? I’m not grading you on a good date rubric. I just want to know you. It’s okay.”

“That’s probably good,” Stede said, the corner of his mouth tilting up, “because my score is probably pretty low just now.”

“Sure is.” Ed let his own smile form. “Local dad with great hair loves his kids. Worst date I’ve ever been on, mate.”

Ed let Stede step away as the conversation mellowed, turned back into their more familiar banter. Familiar banter, when they’d known each other a week. It made something in Ed’s chest feel warm.

By the time they got to the sofa, wine poured and popcorn popped, Ed didn’t bother pretending. He took the blanket off the back of the sofa and beckoned. “C’mere, Stede.”

Stede went, curling up against his chest. It felt good, to have him there. It felt right.

The horror wasn’t the best film Ed had ever seen, but it didn’t matter. Halfway through, Stede had looked up at him, studying him intently.

“Hi,” Stede whispered, when Ed looked down. “I want to know you, too. That okay?”

Ed’s heart beat just a little harder, just a little closer to his ribs. “Yeah,” he whispered back. “That’s—good, I think.”

Stede kissed him.

The movie kept playing. They didn’t see the second half.

Think, Think, Think //JTK

Summary: Late night bedtime stories told in Daddy's silly voices.

Characters: Jake x Tommy (son) x reader Warnings: All the Dad!Jake fluff in the world. Author's Note: Working off an idea from @writingcold, I hope I did it justice. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Winnie-the-Pooh, just borrowing a few excerpts...

__________________________________________________________

Exhaling as he closed the front door, Jake quietly sets his guitar case on the floor by the stairs and slowly sets his keys in the glass dish on the entry table. He starts to make his way towards the kitchen but gets stopped in his tracks when he hears a little voice calling from the stairs.

“Daddy..”

Turning on his heels, he finds Tommy slowly making his way down the steps. “What are you still doing awake?” Jake says as he walks over to the stairs.

“I wanted to stay up and wait for you.”

“Buddy, it is way past your bedtime.”

“I know but you said you’d read me a story before bed.”

Jake closes his eyes, a sigh escaping his lips as he realizes that he did promise Tommy he’d read him a bedtime story. “I did.. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, Daddy, you’re here now.” Tommy says as he gives Jake a beaming smile.

Jake chuckles and picks Tommy up from the floor. “I am here now, so which story would you like me to read?” He says as carries Tommy back upstairs to his bedroom.

“Winnie-the-Pooh.”

“I am not surprised.” Jake says as he flicks on the lamp on Tommy’s dresser. He retrieves the book from the shelf on the wall and goes to sit in the rocking chair beside the window. Getting all settled in their bed. “Alright, shall we begin?”

Tommy eagerly nods his head and snuggles up to Jake on his lap. “Can you use your silly voice?”

“My silly voice?”

“Mmhmm, the one that makes you sound a little English or a pirate?”

Jake laughs but nods his head. “I will do that.” He clears his throat eliciting a giggle from Tommy.

“…Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders..

“One day when he was out walking, he came to an open place in the middle of the forest, and in the middle of this place was a large oak tree, and from the top of the tree, there came a loud buzzing noise.

“Winnie-the-Pooh sat down at the foot of the tree, put his head between his paws and began to think..”

“Think think think..” Tommy mimics as he stifles a yawn. Jake chuckles and runs his fingers through Tommy’s wavy hair as he continues on with the story. –

“Good morning, Christopher Robin.” He said. “Good morning, Winnie-ther-Pooh,” said you. “I wonder if you’ve got such a thing as a balloon about you?” “A balloon?” “Yes, I just said to myself coming along; ‘I wonder if Christopher Robin has such a thing as a balloon about him?’ I just said to myself, thinking of balloons, and wondering.”

“He wonders a lot..” Tommy says.

Jake smiles. “He is quite a curious bear, isn’t he?”

“Very much so.” Tommy says in agreement. “Keep going daddy.”

Jake clears his throat and looks down his nose through his glasses to find his spot where he had left off. “Ah, here we are. Okay..

“What do you want a balloon for?” you said. Winnie-the-Pooh looked round to see that nobody was listening, put his paw to his mouth, and said in a deep whisper: “Honey!” Jake mimics the motions in the book sending Tommy in giggles.

“But you don’t get honey with balloons!” “I do,” said Pooh.

“I bet Uncle Sammy could get honey with a balloon.” Tommy says. “He knows all about the science behind how things float.”

Jake chuckles as he rocks back and forth in the chair. “I think Uncle Sammy is a bit too heavy for a balloon to carry him.”

“Well not if he has a million balloons, then he’d be able to float. We should ask him.”

Jake scoffs and smiles. “We can ask him tomorrow.” –

“So, while you walked up and down and wondered if it would rain, Winne-the-Pooh sang this song:

How sweet to be a Cloud Floating in the Blue! Every little cloud Always sings aloud. “How sweet to be a Cloud Floating in the Blue!” It makes him very proud To be a little Cloud.”

–

Waking up the following morning, you turn over in bed to find it empty beside you. Climbing out of bed, you head down the hallway when you stop past Tommy’s bedroom. Fast asleep in the rocking chair with Tommy passed on top of him and the book open on his lap, Jake is there, his head resting on top of Tommy’s. His glasses still rest on the brim of his nose.

Quietly walking over, you pull Tommy from off of Jake and carry him over to the bed. Once you have tucked in for a couple more hours of sleep, you go back over to Jake and gently remove his glasses and set them on the table and you take the book and close it and place it beside his glasses.

Softly you wake him up. His eyes flutter open and he picks up his head. He looks at you, confusion clouding his eyes. “What?” He moans as he stretches.

You giggle and brush his hair out from in front of his face. “You fell asleep with Tommy.” You say as you help him stand from the chair.

“I had the weirdest dream..” He mumbles as you guide him out of Tommy’s bedroom and down the hall to your own.

“And what was this dream about?” You inquire as you help him undress.

“Sammy was floating in the air tied to a million balloons.”

You giggle at the image forming in your head. Getting him dressed in more comfortable clothes, you help him into bed and cuddle close to him.

“Who knew that reading Winnie-the-Pooh would give such eccentric dreams..” He mumbles as he curls his body around you and slowly falls back in his slumber.

Babysitting him was not intentional. He went over yassops to get some updates on joining his crew. He actually talked to Banchina first and played with her baby waiting for yasopp to come back. They actually got along and had a very pleasant conversation He learned quite a lot about her past.

Apparently she was a part of the resistance since she was 16 before meeting yasopp and was engaged to him for 5 years. She went under cover and actually became an assistant (not a slave) to a celestial dragon. She spent those years Liberating and helping slaves all while gathering information.

She figured he waited for her to come back, it wouldn't hurt to do the same for him. (I just know usopp's mom was a badass you can't tell me otherwise She knowingly and willingly married a pirate. She has to be an extremist. She hates the government!! )

After yasopp came back he gave his spiel about asking him to be in the crew. He's a vital asset. He was the first person he asked that's how confident he is. Yasopp actually said yes this time! but give him a couple years with his family. He was so excited that he ran all the way to a ship to tell Ben completely forgetting that he was holding a baby.

Instead of going back to his house he decided to just keep him around and play with him for a while until he has to give him up. I mean he's going to get his ass beat either way. Doesn't matter if they come for him or he takes him back so we might as well have some fun until that happens.

He shows his around the ship it's not a big ship, not yet. He shows him how to raise the sale, how to steer, how to use a compass. He gives him tips on being a pirate. Mostly stuff he learn from his apprenticeship. He's really out here showing this baby around and talking to him like an adult as if he can retain any of this. Shanks doesn't even know the baby's name he just calls him yasopp's baby and eventually just little yasopp. But still he knows that this baby is going to be someone great just like his old man.

He started to get fussy so he took him out to get something to eat and look around syrup village. By this time yasopp is panicking looking for his son Banchina is surprisingly calm which just causes him to freak out even more. He finds shanks at a bar feeding his son pudding and juice. As he expected Yasopp punches the back of his head before taking his son back. Shanks got this man running across the village like a maniac looking for his child only to find him at a bar.

This is so damn sweet!! Sobbing!! The idea you have of Banchina is amazing, tbh, I just love her. I just know she's a badass too. I mean, as you said, she married Yasopp and she's Usopp's mom, so of course she's great. I love her being all calm while Yasopp panics LKAEFNKLSDNFLSKDN It's great.

And Shanks??? With Usopp??? Calling him little Yasopp and playing with him and showing him the ship?? Honestly, I think I just love Shanks with kids because he just has the biggest father energy. And this is just so sweet because Usopp would have,,, So much fun,, To make things better, thinking about Shanks actively visiting them constantly and when Usopp meets Luffy and sees the straw hat he's like???? "Did Shanks have a son my age??? WHEN????" and he keeps trying to figure out if Luffy is Shanks' son and every time he asks something like that (without actually asking asking) it just makes sense that he is his son. Then Luffy explains his relationship with Shanks and Usopp is like "Hey!! Me too!! He was so nice to me before my dad joined his crew!!" and it's just the cutest reunion between the youngest generation that was raised by successful pirates.

Crying, sobbing, this is,,, Adorable. Once again saying that Shanks with kids is one of my favorite things ever.

#THIS IS ADORABLE #you made my day i love it #one piece #red haired shanks #yasopp #usopp #monkey d. luffy #banchina

not all lessons are about fighting

AKA 5 times the ninja used their first aid training on Lloyd and 1 time Lloyd used his first aid training on someone else.

“Lloyd, I know you got hurt. Just let me see it.”

“No, I didn’t.”

“All of us got hurt today. I know you don’t want Sensei to know that you came with us, but if you come to dinner bleeding, he’ll know,” the opening of a small, metal case, “let me see it.”

Cole waited until he heard the eventual sigh from the small boy who turned around, his split lip apparent in the dim light of the back room of Dareth’s dojo where he had retreated to as soon as they returned from fighting the pirates.

He was careful as he gently cupped Lloyd’s cheek, examining the small cut across his lip while being slow to movement in order not to startle him.

“I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, that’s probably gonna leave a mark,” Cole told him, reaching to get a pair of gloves as well as an antiseptic pad, “but we’ll get you cleaned up and tell your uncle it was a training accident, okay?”

Lloyd nodded, still refusing to meet Cole’s eyes. But the earth ninja pressed on, tearing open the paper sleeve that held the small piece of soaked gauze before gently cupping Lloyd’s cheek again to bring the injury back to eye level.

“I don’t like this kind of thing any more than you do, but us ninja have to stay in tip-top shape. Sharp sting.” And with that, he pressed the gauze to Lloyd’s face, unable to hide his wince when he heard the young boy hiss through his teeth while trying to pull away, only to back into the wall.

Luckily for everyone involved, the process was quick and the red-tinted gauze was quickly pulled away as soon as Cole was sure that it was cleaned out; after a quick once-over, he was relieved to find that the split lip was the worse of Lloyd’s injuries and he held out his arm, wrapping it around Lloyd’s shoulders as he spoke.

“What do you say we find out if Kai bought popsicles like he was supposed to?”

And despite having been on his very first mission and having to watch as his dad left him behind again, Cole was glad that the request made the boy giddy despite the tear stains on his face and his lip still as red as before, even if the trickle of blood had stopped by now.

“I want a cherry one.”

Cole pulled him closer with a laugh, “You deserve it, kid.”

…

The weeks after the battle against the Overlord were…rough to say the least.

For starters, Lloyd had seemingly refused trying to actually be on bedrest for his ankle, citing many things from “did you know that the judges of Ninjago Talent want to give me an award? I wasn’t told Spinjitzu was a talent!” to “I really should be helping my dad with his monastery. He asked me to guest teach”, the now golden ninja insisted on being on the move despite how injured he really was.

But the other thing was the horrific nightmares that seemingly all of them were suffering from; while Nya, Lloyd and Cole were the most affected from the battle itself, in Kai and Jay’s case, it seemed to be that the culmination of the last two years were finally catching up to them now that they no longer had adrenaline as a safety net.

Despite Zane insisting that he was a Nindroid and therefore, didn’t dream, Jay could have sworn that he had heard similar cries of terror as he slept after Julien passed on a few weeks after the final battle.

But right now, Jay had more pressing issues like watching over the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master as he vomited in the adjoining bathroom of their room to make sure he didn’t choke.

“I-I’m okay, Jay,” the boy stuttered even though his face still looked more green than his own moniker and sweat was practically pouring off of his bare chest, “just a bad dream.”

“Uh-huh,” Jay raised an eyebrow, waiting to see if Lloyd turned back to the toilet again, “see, we’ve all been having horrible nightmares lately, and even though I’m only sharing a room with you right now, no one else has rolled out of bed and nearly split their head open and I know that none of them have thrown up on themselves either.”

Just the mention of the word “throw up” had Lloyd scrambling back to the open toilet from where he had been sitting on the floor which made Jay wince from both the force at which he had been throwing up but also the fact that if the vomiting was not just a side effect of both the painkillers he was taking for his leg but also the nightmares, he was going to have to wake up someone else to help him with the situation unfolding in front of him.

But, after the painful sounding round of retching, Lloyd slumped against the wall, the green tint had faded fully, replaced by small pinpricks of red on his face indicating broken blood vessels. Jay took that as his chance to get a better look at the cut on the side of Lloyd’s head.

He reached over and shut the toilet before flushing it and then he held out his hands for Lloyd to take, muttering as he maneuvered the boy from the floor to the closed toilet seat, unable to ignore how shaky he was, “easy, easy, don’t put weight on your right foot, there you go.”

As soon as Lloyd was sitting still, Jay gently pushed away his still sweaty blonde wisps of hair in order to get a good look at where the trickle of blood was coming from; calling it anything other than a graze was generous, since the blood was only coming from a small scratch of open skin near the hairline.

‘One less thing.’ Jay thought to himself with relief over the fact that the chance of needing to wake the others was much smaller now while he carefully wiped the wound with a cold, wet cloth.

“How’d you guys learn to do this stuff?” Lloyd asked as he stayed perfectly still while Jay disinfected the wound, even though the blue ninja could see the younger boy clench his fists with pain.

“Sensei wanted to make sure that we knew how to handle every aspect of battle,” Jay shrugged as he grabbed a large band-aid, making sure to hold Lloyd’s hair out of the way while placing it in order to prevent him pulling out the strands later on, “not just punching our enemies or witty quips.”

Jay couldn’t help but smile when Lloyd did, even if it was fleeting due to his worry, “I’m pretty sure my uncle didn’t count on witty quips when training you four.”

“Well, given that he recruited me,” Jay stopped to loop his left arm around Lloyd so there was zero pressure being put on his injured ankle in order to lead him back to bed, “he should have counted on it. Let’s find you a clean shirt.”

…

Kai cursed under his breath as he looked through the tiny first aid kit that was aboard the ship; he had worked with less then this before, but given that the boat was moving so slow and Lloyd only was continuing to deteriorate as the adrenaline ebbed away from him, he was really hoping for a more extensive amount of supplies.

But,he had to use what was on hand, so he clasped the kit closed, taking it with him to the small room below deck where the captain had shown them too after Lloyd had started to sway and would have fully collapsed on the desk if he hadn’t been paying attention and looped the boy’s arm around his shoulders.

Sure enough, Lloyd was sitting on one of the bottom bunks where Kai had left him, holding a bloody handful of tissues to his bleeding nose; the bright red brought out the paleness of his skin in a way that made Kai’s stomach churn with both worry and guilt over ever letting him out of his sight.

“Has it stopped?” Kai asked, setting the first aid kit on the small nightstand at the end of the bunk bed and finding an antiseptic pad to wipe down his more than likely dirty hands while desperately trying to focus solely on getting Lloyd taken care of instead of pulling him into a tight hug.

“Don’t know,” Lloyd admitted, his voice nasally, “didn’t want to pull away the tissues in case it wasn’t.”

Considering the bright spots of blood covering the robes that once belonged to Garmadon, Kai had a feeling that his caution was from learning that it was a bad idea instead of a guess.

“Alright, let me see,” Kai insisted after putting on a pair of gloves, watching as Lloyd’s shaking hand pulled away from his nose which had thankfully stopped bleeding, but the bruising was indicative of a break, “when did you hit your face?”

“Probably while portal jumping,” Lloyd shrugged, his voice void of any emotion which only made Kai’s heart twist harder in his chest, “my powers will fix it, you don’t have to.”

“If you want it to heal crooked, maybe,” Kai shrugged, gently pressing his fingers on the bridge of Lloyd’s nose, “it’s probably going to bleed again once I set it, so-”

“Be ready,” Lloyd finished, lifting the blood-stained tissues up with one hand while gripping the edge of the mattress, “just do it. Please.”

“Okay,” Kai nodded, before moving the bone to its correct position, blocking out the gasp of agony that escaped Lloyd’s lips despite his attempts to be stoic and still, “all done.”

Sure enough, blood once again started to run down Lloyd’s face even when he pressed the tissues to it again, dripping onto the front of the robes and while he wanted to talk to him, Kai knew that Lloyd was too closed off and on edge to do so, so he settled for grabbing some gauze out of the first-aid kit to press to Lloyd’s nose.

As he placed bandage after bandage on his skin and looked over the bones that were starting to show through due to not being fed, all Kai could do was hope that he would be able to repair the mental wounds when that time came.

…

“Nya, we don’t have time for this!”

“Oh, yes we do,” Nya scowled as she grabbed onto his arm and pulled him back toward her, having to ignore his hiss of pain as he jostled his very dislocated shoulder, “if you think you can lead the resistance like this…well, I’m not sure I want to know what would stop you.”

“Our resources should go toward the others-”

“Don’t even start with that bullshit,” Nya continued to glare at him so her point would indeed get through to him, no matter how much she hated it when she had to treat him this roughly in order to get through the stubbornness that had been instilled in him. “Your shoulder is out of its socket, and with how bad it looks, you’re lucky you didn’t lose your entire arm."

Lloyd continued to look at her with a mix of annoyance and what she assumed was guilt, but he didn’t retaliate, so she continued to speak as she maneuvered his tattered gi off of his mangled body.

“I know you miss them. I miss them too,” she stopped, forcing herself to take a deep breath while forcing away the thoughts of the fact that she had lost her brother, her boyfriend, her teacher and two of her best friends she had ever known, “but they would want you to get taken care of. They were your protectors.”

“Can you just fix it?” Lloyd demanded as his face shifted from near tears to neutral, “before anyone else gets hurt?”

“It’s going to hurt a lot, but Darreth is working on getting more food and painkillers-”

“I don’t need them,” Lloyd cut her off, scooting slightly toward her where he was sitting on a few wooden boxes in the large warehouse they were currently hiding in, “I just need my arm back in place.”

Nya pressed her lips together tightly, placing one hand on the top of his shoulder socket and wrapped the other one just under the curve of his arm; as soon as she was sure that her hands were in the place that she had been taught to put them for this very scenario, she forced herself to keep her eyes open as the bones snapped into place.

Lloyd’s swearing as his head hit the wall, trying to pull away from her until the final snap, proved to her that his hard exterior was just that, a shell to protect himself in the case that he lost anyone else, it wasn’t like she could blame him.

After all, he had lost everyone who had been fundamental in raising him aside from herself; the only other people he had let his heart open up to had either become the problem or he just was unable to get as close to them like he had with the ninja and his uncle.

But she refused to let herself harden up and shut everyone else, even if it was just to show him that he didn’t need to sacrifice his own needs for the others, despite losing everything.

“When Darreth gets back, you will eat and take some medication, even if I have to shove it down your throat,” Nya insisted as she helped him down from the boxes, “until then, let’s go make a plan to take our city back.”

She wasn’t surprised that he didn’t respond and if she was being completely honest, she was just glad that he didn’t fight her on the instructions she was giving him.

‘The last thing we need to be doing right now is fighting each other.’

…

“I know what I saw, Zane,” Lloyd insisted, “I saw my grandfather and he was on the golden dragon, the one I learned how to conjure.”

“Lloyd, seeing The First Spinjitzu Master is impossible,” Zane told him as he rested his hand on Lloyd’s wrist in order to get an accurate pulse reading to assure him that yes, Lloyd was alive and well, “we’ve all seen his tomb.”

“I know that, but…he wanted me to go with him.”

“My guess is that your subconscious was trying to make a decision and used your grandfather as a tool for you to comprehend what was happening,” Zane explained as he moved his hand to Lloyd’s back to get a clear reading on his breathing while knowing that it would more than likely be unusual, “I had a similar experience with my own father while I was fighting the Digital Overlord, you know.”

“You did?”

“I did, and I don’t regret my choice,” Zane nodded, gently pressing on Lloyd’s upper torso so he was laying down in order to examine where the door had been pressing on his chest, “but I guess I should ask if you regret yours.”

“I don’t think so,” Lloyd said slowly, wincing whenever his chest was pressed on which was not unusual for Zane to see, given the bruising that covered his chest, “I mean, one of my options was to keep doing what I have been doing, keep being the green ninja, but…”

“Something is troubling you.”

“What do you think would have happened if I went with him? If I…”

“Lloyd, like I previously expressed, if you had done what you believed was to go with your grandfather, the probability of you returning to us is non-existent,” Zane explained while determining that he was not suffering from any sort of lung injury and placed his focus on wrapping his ribs tightly to avoid further injury, “but if you feel like you shouldn’t have returned-”

“No, that’s not what I’m saying,” Lloyd insisted, although given the circumstances of the last few years, Zane couldn’t help but wonder if he was lying to him in order to stop his worrying, “I just hate feeling like I could have made the wrong decision.”

“Well, I speak for all of us when I say this,” Zane said, placing his hand on Lloyd’s shoulder to bring his attention forward after he finished wrapping his torso, “we all love you very much, and we all believe that coming back to us was the right decision and that if you feel like maybe that it wasn’t, we all are willing to speak to you so we can try to understand why you may feel that way.”

Zane had to admit that the tight hug he was pulled into that made his gears squeak with retaliation was something he only partially expected, but that didn’t stop him from holding tightly onto the boy that he had seen grow up before his eyes.

“Thank you, Zane.” Lloyd choked out.

Zane didn’t add any of his own words and instead, wrapped his arms around Lloyd and held him while tears dampened his shoulder.

…

Lloyd sighed as he put the gloves on; he was glad that his suggestion for a small medical area when they rebuilt the place was granted by his uncle, and given just how clumsy Arin was, he should have known that it was some sort of guess he had made about his future students at the time.

“I should be training, master Lloyd!”

“No, what you should be doing is holding still while I stitch up your arm,” Lloyd retorted while setting out the supplies he would need, making sure to meet Arin’s eye in order to distract him from the panic that was surely setting in by now that he mentioned the need for stitches, “what were you doing this time anyways?”

“Oh, you know…just the training course.”

“You sure that’s really what happened?”

“It happened to you last week! Kai even had to give you stitches!”

“I’m aware what happened last week,” Lloyd insisted as the still healing wound across the back of his head throbbed as a reminder of the incident while he started to disinfect the gash on the boy’s arm, “but what happened to you?”

“Okay, I was hanging out with Sora and I may have distracted her while she was inventing and she may have hit my arm with a power saw.”

“What?!” Lloyd shouted, nearly dropping the sterilized needle on the floor, only for Arin to wave his arms, resulting in blood droplets splattering on the wall of the monastery.

“It wasn’t on!”

‘No kidding,’ Lloyd thought as he grabbed Arin’s arm to hold him steady while he finished cleaning out the wound, ‘otherwise we’d be dealing with an amputation.’

“Besides, it really is just a scratch,” Arin continued, slowly trying to pull his arm away from him, but Lloyd had a really firm grip that he had perfected over the years thanks to the many times he had almost fallen from a large height, “so this whole needle thing is really unnecessary-”

“Arin?” Lloyd raised an eyebrow, waiting until his student stopped speaking, “the longer you stall, the longer you have to sit here and look at the needle.”

That short sentence was enough to cease his rambling and allow Lloyd to start pulling the skin back together. Even with the small winces that were coming from Arin, the wound only needed four stitches, so almost as quickly as he pushed the needle in for the first time, he was pulling it out for the last and wrapping his wrist in a bandage.

“That actually didn’t hurt that bad,” Arin admired to which Lloyd shrugged until he asked, “how’d you do that?”

“Just a little trick Jay taught me, putting a numbing agent on the antiseptic cloth. It’s really nothing-”

“No, I mean, how’d you stitch me up? Last time I checked, none of you have MDs.”

“Yeah, you are right about that,” Lloyd couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of any of the others having the time or the money to go to college, “but, my uncle taught us that not all lessons are about fighting.”

“Because just fighting doesn’t make you a good ninja?”

“Exactly. But specifically, Cole taught me how to do stitches. I already had taught myself how to sew, but he taught me the differences between sewing fabric and, well, sewing skin.”

“Do you think you can teach me?”

“I was already planning on teaching you and Sora,” Lloyd explained as he stood up to clean up the medical supplies, snapping off the gloves last, “but only if you promise me that you aren’t going to pass out when I give you a needle.”

“I’ll do my best.”

“I suppose that’s all I can ask for,” Lloyd shrugged before helping Arin to his feet, “but first, we should get your blood sugar back up and in my personal experience, nothing does that quite like Zane’s brownies.”

Season 2 ideas - Jeremy, Liane, Joshua, Belladonna and Nikolai are all accidentally stuck in the enchanted forest.

—They have to find a way back home but on their way home they stop by a few stops, meeting old faces and a couple of new ones 👀 meanwhile in the town they have their own little spots of trouble.

Side-note: Idk if we will do another AU season 🤷‍♀️ yet. I still wanna continue the Wandavision one 💘

For the OUAT: We might change some things because i was thinking about Michelle being in the forest as well, she hasn’t been washed over during the first curse. Like maybe Michelle was in hiding after all theses years once the curse broke in real time and makes her grand return saving the day.

———

In the enchanted forest 🌳

Jeremy ties to men up to the tree, shining his hook and asks, “What do you want? Why do you want to go to our town?”

The older brother spat, “Because you have something of ours. Well, more importantly your husband does.”

“Oh god, what did he do now?”

The young brother added, “He has our sister locked in a pendant! Every time someone uses it, it drains her magic.”

Liane asked, “What’s her name?”

“Stella..he lost her to a duel with Gold’s husband..we want her back!”

Meanwhile Belladonna was looking at the young pretty blonde who played with her sword like it was a magical stick. They found her when they landed here and her mother requested she followed them. Joshua watched her eyes line and snorted as his friend told him to shut it.

“I didn’t say anything.” He replied.

“And I said shut it.” She repeated.

Nikolai gave both of them a look and half smiled sheepishly noticing how her son reminded her of his father. Even better, Belladonna reminded him of Cole at times, then he looked back at the brothers.

Nikolai asked, “What are your names?”

“Why do you want to know?” Asked the young one.

Jeremy responded for him, “My first mate asked a question. What are your names? Give me one other reason why I should let you go and not let you be eaten by Ogres.”

“Thiego and Leonardo, pirate. I don’t need to give you another reason onto why..”

“Why?”

“There is nothing for us in this land. Cora is asking us to help her out of a reward.”

“What reward?”

“Go to this new land, get revenge on your husband and most importantly, restore our family.”

Jeremy looked at his niece and nephew at the last part. Joshua was looking into the guys bags and scars on their chins, noticing deep daggers as he mutters, “Stabbington Brothers?”

Nikolai looked at his son raised an eyebrow, “You know them?

Belladonna stopped looking at the blonde to look at the others saying, “It’s from Tangled.”

Liane blinked confused wondering about where is Rapunzel and her man, Flynn Rider, at if theses guys are here.

Jeremy mumbled, “Of course you’ve seen that movie too. At least it’s better that Ames’s movie.”

He gasped in response, “Hey! That movie depicted us horribly..”

Joshua joked, “Yeah, dad, all you did was kiss mom once after one single encounter while she was asleep.”

Bella snorted, “Well my movie they made my dad kinda one dimensional and only slaying my mother instead of helping her.”

Liane’s eyes almost flashed purple but Nikolai put a hand on her shoulder to just let it go like Elsa.

The brothers were about to question a couple of things, even bargain a deal to help the others. When suddenly a voice caught into the background of the woods.

“There you are, sons of bitches!” Yelled the voice of the young woman who it seemed to belong to.

Everyone looked around to search for the voice in question. Whoever it was, she has a mouth on her! Jeremy grinned as he thought he was dreaming when he heard it. Nikolai smirked not wanting to get his hopes up yet.

The sun was shining across the thick blonde curls as shiny armor came into view, it looked more Royal than most. She held a small smile as she walked over to the group, her sword resting on her hip, her boots pounding against the ground and her eyes bright was the ocean. Liane looked a bit confused onto the women in front of her, almost like she seen her before but the pirate boys beat her to.

“Michelle?” Asked Nikolai and Jeremy at the same time seeing their old friend.

“Who were you expecting? Lancelot?” She joked with a smile, but her glared stayed on the two men tied up against the tree, who robbed her earlier.

Bella, Alice and Joshua were all dumbfounded by the young blonde.
