#evie's ask extravaganza
Note
asker!Alvita reporting for duty!! could I have all of this ask game for Cora and Lily??
Oooooooh, long post incoming!
1. Can your OC admit to mistakes or weaknesses? Can they accept help?
Cora can do all of these things, at least around people she trusts. Mistakes are human nature, and she'll admit to making them. Weaknesses? Definitely. She likes to remind people that she is, in fact, not a swordsman, and that her devil fruit has limited battle usability. (She's somewhat wrong about this, but let her talk.) Also, she can definitely accept help. Otherwise, her relationship with Zoro would be in trouble, because the only way this man knows to express his affection is to conveniently do things for her. Of course, he's not doing them for her, he's doing them because he feels like it. Totally not in love. Never. Sanji also loves spoiling his princess. The man would bridal carry her everywhere if she asked. She also frequently calls both of them for help against stronger enemies if she realizes she can't beat them and knows they have time.
Lily is very good at all three of these things and she will cry about it. She'll be fighting on enemy three times her size one moment and run into Sanji's arms the next, crying in fear about how she's too small to fight and how she wants to go home. She's also still learning about the world, so there's a lot of things for her to be wrong about and she doesn't mind being corrected.
2. Is your OC more emotional or more stoic? How do their emotions show and how do they feel about them?
Cora is more emotional, definitely. Not overly emotional, but her emotions do show. Fun fact, she's an angry crier, which automatically ends any verbal fights she might get into, either because her opponent is Sanji and he folds instantly at seeing her cry (it's similar for Zoro but not as instantaneous) or because Sanji has come to her defense because the person she's up against made her cry. Generally, Cora has fairly physical reactions to her emotions, as in she shakes heavily if she gets scared and she cries easily. She thinks she's a bit of a crybaby and a weakling, but Sanji will immediately tell her otherwise.
Lily? Oh boy, Lily. Her whole devil fruit is centered around emotions. Not only does it contribute to her being very emotional and having intense mood swings, it also converts her emotions into various effects, such as making the lights flicker, changing the weather, and, most prominently, turning her back into five-year-old when she gets too scared. She doesn't really have an opinion on her emotions, they just... happen.
3. Does your OC cry a lot? Why or why not?
I guess I already answered this, didn't I? Yes, both Cora and Lily cry a lot. For Cora, it's partially because that's just who she is, partially because of trauma, whereas Lily has her devil fruit, her mood swings and her (mental) age to blame.
4. Does your OC talk a lot? Are there things they tend to ramble about?
Cora probably talks a regular amount, but she loves to ramble about fashion. If you want to keep her talking for whatever reason, ask her about fashion, or sewing, or designing... Just anything that has to do with her work as a tailor. She could also talk about her boyfriends for ages if prompted and in the right environment.
Lily does talk a lot. Or rather, she rambles a lot. She's the kind of person who will sit in a car and point at and name not only animals or landmarks you pass but also every car she recognizes or finds odd or funny. She just loves to learn and explore. It's not that she doesn't know how to be quiet. She does! But she's also talkative, so she'll talk if there's no reason for her not to.
5. Are they a romantic?
Cora is definitely a romantic. Not as much as Sanji, but she does love romance, so these two together are a walking romance novel. If you want to impress her, a candlelit dinner with good food and pretty clothes is the perfect way to do it.
Lily is probably a little too young to be a romantic in that sort of sense, but she does romanticize life, in a way. A more or less childish way. She just loves to be alive and to see the world and... Yeah. Does that count?
6. Are they dramatic?
Cora is very dramatic, but only as a joke. She usually swallows her problems until she has to throw them back up, but if she has the chance to annoy Zoro by being dramatic, she'll be dramatic as hell. It gets even funnier if Sanji or someone else plays along. Nami especially is a great ally for weaponizing the drama, second place goes to Usopp.
To be fair, Lily isn't very dramatic. She's just a kid, and Zoro has to constantly remind himself of that if he's about to call her dramatic for crying about him stepping on a bug or something.
7. How would they prefer to die?
Cora would probably like to die quickly and painlessly, but if it has to be long and painful, she'll take it, as long as it helps her friends in any way.
Not at all? Lily doesn't think about dying, she's too busy thinking about how many marshmallows she can fit in her mouth or how quickly she can climb up to the crow's nest. But she'd probably prefer the quick and painless route.
8. What is guaranteed to make them angry?
For Cora, it's pretending to be a member of the Akaito Clan. There are so many fakers out there and she intends to personally commit arson against every single one of them and burn down their bootleg clothes and designs. It's just a huge disrespect to her family, their tradition and their name.
For Lily, I'd say it's hurting her friends that makes her the angriest. Depending on how big and tough the enemy is, she may also be very scared, but if you want to find out the quickest way to have a feral fennec fox biting and clawing at your neck, this is it.
9. What do they get really petty about?
Cora gets extremely petty about the difference between swordfighting and fencing. She is not a swordfighter because she uses a rapier and a rapier is used for fencing. Sworfighting is what Zoro does. You wouldn't be able to start a proper fight between someone using a katana and someone using a rapier. Thus, they must be two separate fighting styles. immaculate logic. Also, sewing and fashion. This color is the color she says it is, not any other.
Lily actually doesn't get petty at all. Or at least not often. She's just happy to be talking. But if you call a Zoan user a Mink or the other way around, you might be in trouble. They're two very different things.
10. What do they identify as?
See, this is why I kept this question that open and didn't limit it to gender identity or sexuality. Makes it a lot easier to answer.
Cora is bisexual and proud, as well as proudly polyamorous. She has two hands, why not use them? She also strongly identifies with her heritage as a member of the Akaito Clan and being a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Lily doesn't really think about gender identity or something as weird as sexuality. To be honest, I don't think she has even had sex ed yet. Does she even know what sexuality is? I mean, she knows what sex is, probably, but... Does she know what gender is? Anyways, a huge part of her identity comes from her being a fennec fox mink. Well, half, but she likes to omit that fact. Sometimes, she just refers to herself as simply a fennec fox, as in: "Of course I'm cold! I'm a desert fox, not an Arctic fox!" That's why she also identifies with her epithet. Also, the Straw Hat Pirates. The moment she lies about being a part of their crew is the day that hell freezes over. That's her family right there.
Thank you so much for your ask, Alvita! Have a lovely day <3

Hello my beautiful girl, let’s go to the chapel and get married! Time to share my brainrots, I call them”things I’d like to read after this tacky Las Vegas week”, let’s go:
Max freaking out, asking for Charles’ hand in marriage and running to the chapel dressed as blonde Elvis.
Lando playing pranks on them so they finally get their head out of their asses and hook up
Nightclub extravaganza with shots of tequila, dancing, seduction, kisses on an alley, getting handsy etc
Drunk sex, waking up hungover with Max by his side and totally losing his marbles because he was such a dirty slut on top of max but now he’s so embarrassed he might die
Max literally camping outside Charles’s hotel to fancy him with his Elvis abilities of awfully singing
The Steve support group catching them on yet another compromising position and discussing how to proceed since the trauma of seeing them naked scared even the most professional of Steve’s: checo.
Some jealous Kelly arguing about “so this is why you asked me to stay in Brazil and not to come to Vegas? You’re banging Charles???”
Everybody shitfaced jumping on the bellagio fountain
This is peak fiction, even if people write tiny dribbles, I’d fucking LOVE THEM. Vegas was tacky? Yes. But it gave us so much lestappen, I’ll never get tired of it. I’m not even regretting waking up at 3AM. See you soon my love 🫶🏻
Evie, my beloved, my beautiful angel, my universe, I will meet you at the chapel to go through with our long-overdue wedding. ❤️
Once again, my darling Evie, you bless me and everyone else reading this with your beautiful, wonderful, amazing Lestappen brainrots and I could honestly get on board with them all. So many potentially wonderful fics or drabbles could be written for every single one of these brainrots.
Lestappen truly has reached a point where they are practically writing fics for us and I am personally so here for it. And Vegas might have had it's definite downsides, but I will never forget the Lestappen content it brought up.
I adore you and love you with my entire being, my beautiful Evie. I hope you're having a wonderful day. 🫶
#Asks#Lestappen asks#killingevie#My tag for “Evie is the queen of my heart and my sunshine forever”#Evie ❤️

Heya, I see my ask game broke containment :) I'm the one who put the Evie's Ask Extravaganza series together, in case you're confused, and when I saw that a blog I didn't know had reblogged part of it, I was really, really happy :)
Unfortunately, I don't think we share any fandoms and I was at a bit of a loss as to what OC to send you an ask for, but then I saw something Latin and, being a Classics major, immediately went 👀
So, could I please have 1, 2, 6 and 9 from the Appearances and Social Customs asks for Amina?
Hope you're having a lovely day!
Veneris Filia is my first attempt at a dark series and I’m still working up the courage to finish and post it 😅
1. What tattoos/piercings do they have? Which could you see them having?
Amina doesn’t have any tattoos or piercings but she is branded with her owner, Master Dominus’, seal on the back of her right shoulder
2. What's your favourite design detail about them?
How caring she is. Even after years of abuse she hasn’t lost her kindness towards others.
6. What color is associated with them?
Pastel colours. She’s such an innocent bean and almost everything about her reflects that.
9. Do they play any instruments?
She doesn’t. Her mother had started teaching her the harp a few months before she was murdered though.

Anon asked for (among others) #46: Family Traditions for the O’Connells’. Here you are! The December Challenge is here; #s 3, 8, 29, 34, 36, 37, 39, 40, 46, and 49 have been requested, so please go for any number that isn’t one of those!
Family Traditions
On the first of December, Evie sat with Rick in the library at the Zamalek house, unwrapping Christmas ornaments from their tissue-paper shrouds and laying them out on the table. The house was looking marvelous: Rick and Jonathan had spent the morning with Daoud, hanging electric lights in the courtyard, and Evie and Fatima had gone out to the souk and returned with a potted tamarisk tree to do service as a Christmas tree. Now quiet had descended before dinner, a companionable peace that Evie was coming to associate with Rick. She looked over at him; he flashed her a brief smile as he lay out another painted tin star.
“May I ask you a personal question?”
Rick looked up, surprised. “‘Course.”
“What are your Christmas traditions?”
It was a question she had been pondering for the last few days. Christmas had always been one of Evie’s favorite holidays, whether it was celebrated in Egypt or in England. Her parents had always favored a Dickensian extravaganza of tree and holly and oodles of decorations and Christmas carols and feasts, and though they had been gone for two years now, the familiar traditions brought peace and comfort. Since Advent Sunday a week ago, Evie and Jonathan had been bringing out boxes of ornaments, and Rick had been very helpful in setting things up. There was often a small smile on his face as he did so, but so far he had not volunteered any information about his own methods of celebration.
Now Rick cocked his head, considering the question.
“I haven’t really celebrated the last few years,” he said, slowly. “In ‘19 and ‘20 I was leading tours and they gave all the staff a nice dinner and a bonus, but I didn’t do anything last year because, well.” He made a face.
Because you fell apart. Evie was learning more about Rick every day, but she still wasn’t aware of what had caused the complete emotional collapse that had led to their fateful meeting in Cairo Prison. It would come out, eventually.
“But what about before that, when you were a child?”
“Oh.” A small grin passed over Rick’s face. He fiddled with the tin star, thinking it over. “Well, the first thing you need to understand is that we were poor, so we couldn’t really afford a lot of the more traditional stuff. We never had a real tree or tons of presents or anything like that.” He paused, gathering his thoughts, and went on. “We had fun, though. I remember it being fun. My mom and I would collect scraps of fancy paper throughout the year and put it away, and then after Thanksgiving we’d pull it all out and cut out shapes. Angels and Santa Claus and stars and things, you know. And we’d cut a Christmas tree out of newspaper and paint it green and pin it to the wall, and then we’d decorate it with the cut-outs.” Rick’s eyes were bright, the grin growing as he remembered.
“We’d go out some nights to see the lights and the big Christmas tree in the park by the Art Institute; there were always vendors out there and we’d save up so we could get hot chocolate and popcorn. And the drugstore I did chores at sold Christmas trees, so the owner would let me take home broken branches, so we usually had some greenery to put in the windows.”
The words, slow at first, were becoming more animated. Those had been happy times. Evie sat quietly listening, feeling as though any sudden movement would break the spell.
“Mom liked music,” Rick continued, “and there were always free concerts or cheap ones that we could go to, so we did that a lot on the weekends, and a couple of times we were able to go ice skating in the park. That’s when we were doing a little better. And Christmas itself was fun, too. We’d go out to a diner on Christmas Eve before midnight mass, and on Christmas Day we’d have a feast: roast chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy and all that, and Mom would make a cake for dessert. And for breakfast we’d have pancakes and coffee while we opened presents. I always got a stocking with some chocolate coins and boiled sweets, and every year a thick new sweater and gloves. Sometimes I got a children’s magazine or a puzzle, if we’d had a good year. And I always tried to get Mom something, even if it was just a chocolate bar. I gave her a rouge locket the year I turned ten; it’s the one I have upstairs. But anyway, after dinner we’d go out and look at the lights again, then come home and wrap up in blankets and she’d read ‘A Christmas Carol’ out loud until bedtime. It was nice,” he concluded, his voice trailing off as he came back to the present. He gave Evie a bashful look. “We were poor.”
“It sounds wonderful,” Evie said, resting her hand on his. “It sounds like your mum loved you very much.”
Rick nodded. “She did. I didn’t realize how much until after she died. Orphans didn’t get to have Christmas.” He sighed; she could see him pushing the bad memories away. “I tried again after I escaped, but then the War happened, and well.” He shrugged.
“Now you can begin again.”
“Yeah.” Rick squeezed her hand. “I’d like that.”
“Here.” Evie stood and went to the desk, rummaging around in one of the drawers. It had to be here somewhere...aha, there it was. She turned back to Rick holding a couple sheets of dyed paper in shades of green and gold and silver and red. “Let’s make some cut-outs, then, for our first Christmas.”
Rick’s whole face changed, bashfulness and curiosity changing to softness. He looked so astonished, so delighted and touched, that Evie bent down and kissed him. Rick cleared his throat before he spoke again.
“Let’s see if I remember how to do this,” he said, reaching for paper and scissors. “It’s been a long time.”
“It’s the thought that counts,” Evie replied, doing the same. “Practice and all that.”
Rick looked over at her and smiled and smiled. Evie grinned back. She really did love him.
The paper stars and angels looked lovely on their little tree, surrounded by the rest of the Christmas ornaments.

How's about 14 for Chummy and Fred?
Excellent request, @nunonabun! Ask and ye shall receive. :-)
Also, @callthemoonbeam, I am brainstorming a reply to your ask as well. I love how I reblog a list of friendship prompts and get nothing but Chummy-and-Fred requests. Truly, this is my wheelhouse. :-D
That’s Not How I Remember It
After he didn’t make the cut for grammar school, Freddiehad started helping Mr. Buckle with repairs around Nonnatus House. The oldfamily friend became more than just Freddie’s mentor in plumbing, woodworkingand gardening. The pair were soon good friends in their own right.
In June 1974, overa busted pipe, the elder Fred admitted to the younger that the upcoming AnnualBuckle-Gee-Jackson-Smart-Dooley-Foster Multi-Generational Weekend CampingExtravaganza was… not shaping up to be extravagant.
“Vi’s back can’t take a night on an RV pull-out sofa. Marlene and her crew ‘aven’t turned up since ’68, no matter‘ow many times I ask. Vi’s grandkids all say they can’t come, they got summerjobs. Betcha ‘alf of ‘em are slinkin’ off to the woods that same weekend wivfriends, smokin’ all sorts a things and listenin’ to sumfink anarchist, like…”he shrugged.
“Like Pink Floyd,” Freddie volunteered eagerly. “OrJethro Tull, or-”
“Righ’, yeah,” the older Fred grunted from behind hiscigar. “All vem, I reckon. Anyways, it’s jus’ me and Reggie, and your AuntieDolly and ‘er four.” He sighed. “But we’ll make a good show of it. For the youngertwo’s sakes, at least.”
“I feel bad for him,” Freddie told his family oversupper that evening. “You should hear how he talks about the trips a few yearsback. They had twenty-two people in 1968! And now it’s down to seven. It bums himout, I think. He really likes planning big, fun events for lots of people.”
But Freddie knew of someone else with a tendencytowards grand plans. After the dishes were cleared, Dad and the other kidssettled in front of the telly. Freddie went into the dining room, and sat downacross from Mum and her trusty old Singer.
Chummy stopped the sewing machine. She could sense heroldest had something to say. She looked up, blinking as her eyes adjusted tothe other half of her thick bifocals.
“Freddie, is everything alright?”
“I thought it might be nice if we went with them,” heblurted. “The Buckles. Camping. We all get on well, and I think they’d like thecompany.”
“I rather agree,” she said.
“But the thing is, Mr. Buckle’s too proud to inviteus, and we can’t just invite ourselves…”
“Quite right,” his mother smiled. “I shall speak toMrs. Buckle. If she approves of your plan, she can nudge old Fred into it. She’llprobably have him thinking it was his idea all along!”
This is precisely what happened. Two weeks later, theypacked Fred’s RV with supplies, and the Smart and Noakes kids piled into theback of a rented van. Peter couldn’t get off work that weekend, and Dolly andher husband had separated years ago. That left four adults- Fred, Reggie,Chummy and Dolly- in charge of seven children between the ages of twelve and sixteen.
“It’ll be like Scouts all over again. Akela andBagheera, reining in the chaos,” Peter teased his wife. They drew close,holding hands, and he gave her a peck on the cheek. He would have liked to giveher a grander send-off, but they were both mindful of their adolescentaudience.
It was a two-hour drive to the campsite in Sussex. (Notcounting the half hour at the petrol station, picking out snacks and makingsure everyone had a chance to use the loo.) Fred drove the RV, with Dolly ashis “co-pilot.” If Chummy had to guess, Fred was taking their time alone to tryand assess what sort of help, both practical and financial, he could give Dollyand her children. It was a fraught ritual that occurred periodically between all caring fathers and their grown daughters. Particularly if the daughter had gottenless in life than the father thought she deserved.
The van was much livelier. Chummy drove, Reggie wasthe keeper of the radio, and behind them the children practically bounced off thewalls. The Smart children were remarkably nonchalant about Bea’s arms. PerhapsDolly had briefed them ahead of time, or they were open-minded towardsdisability because of their cousin Reggie. Either way, Bea was still putting onsome of her new-crowd bravado, trying to prove the “thalidomide girl” was notjust normal, but great fun too.
The van crept down the tree-shaded dirt roadinto the campsite. Even as they parked, Bea continued leading the others in a radio sing-along.Chummy switched off the ignition but left the radio on.
“Ah, Mater! WantJet to always love me. Ah, Mater! Much later…”
“That’s a weird name.” Jackie Smart, the youngest,wrinkled her nose. “You reckon Paul’s got a friend called Mater, or did he make it up?”
“Mater’s not a name, silly!” said her older sister,Sam. “It’s what posh people say instead of ‘Mum’!”
“That’s not true! You’re puttin’ us on!”
Fred had disembarked the RV and was approachingChummy’s open window when he overheard this. He broke into a crooked grin.
“It is true, Jackie. Why, Mrs. Noakes ‘ere ‘ad a‘Mater’, God rest her soul. I met her when Mrs. Noakes and Mr. Noakes gotmarried, I did.”
“Tell ‘em about the sandwiches, Mr. Buckle,” Freddiepiped up. “And the bridesmaids in nurses’ uniforms!”
“Bridesmaids in what?”squealed Diane, the middle Smart girl.
The four girls dissolved into their umpteenth gigglefit today. Tony Smart groaned, rolled his eyes, then shoved his way to the vandoor. Chummy’s middle son Davey followed suit. As the girls began peltingChummy with questions, her son Freddie caught her eye in the rearview mirror.He looked apologetic. So did her old friend Fred, for that matter.
Yes, there was a time when she would have been bashful-but that was many years ago. Before she’d explained Bea’s disability tocountless gawking strangers, and advocated her daughter’s needs to dozens ofdoctors. Before she’d taken Freddie’s teachers aside year after year, managingto persuade only some of them: He’s reallyquite bright. And he’s not hard of hearing- well, not exactly. He just needspeace and quiet to understand. Or if you could just write everything down…
A trip down Memory Lane would be a cakewalk comparedto that. Chummy smiled as she tuckedher salt-and-pepper hair behind her ears, got out of the van and stretched herlong legs.
“What are camping trips for, if not for old stories? Butwe must set up the pup tents first. Once that’s done and dusted, Grandpa Bucklecan tell you all about my wedding.” She grinned wickedly. “And then I’ll tell you all about Evie, GrandpaBuckle’s beloved pet pig.”
The kids cackled. Reggie beamed. “I’ll tell them aboutthe flowers in your garden!” he said.
“Ooh I’ve got one!” cried Dolly as she hopped downfrom the RV. “Do they know the story of the day Sam and Freddie were born?”
“Or how her Grandpa initially mistook poor Samanthafor a little boy?” Chummy teased.
“That’s not how I remember it!” Fred shook his head,chuckling. “I’ll go and get the tents.”

So the second session of the D&D campaign happed the other day
Before we get into it we have 2 new characters Monique who’s is played by owlberts player as they weren’t enjoying playing a monk as much as they thought they would, our second newcomer is olive the wood elf wizard.
With that out of the way onto the campaign!!
This is a week after the initial “infestation” and we’ve been hired by this old adventurer to check on their patron as he hasn’t hear from them in a while the witchlight carnival is in the next town over and holds a portal to the feywilds that we need to get to in order to reach this guys Payton
We make our way to the carnival and find that our tickets have been pre payed for (we presume by the adventurer) we enter and start looking around
The first place we head to is the lost and found as barmir wanted to steal from it, at the lost and found we meet a displacer beast with large fake butterfly wings (this was a common uniforms for the carnival workers) named dayla our grave cleric Monique was very excited as they love fluffy creatures. Our intellect devorour pet/zarthoses security camera thing that we’ve named Brian/little guy seemed to take note of her. After she accidentally scared away one of the kids she was looking after she asked us to find him, we found the child by a sweet shop and brought him back dayla then asked us to try find her cub who had been missing for a while she gave us his favourite toy to help with this, Monique took the toy and we left the lost and found to carry on looking around (not before barmir and Evie stole umbrellas from the lost and found)
Next we went to the hall of illusions, before we entered we witnessed a proposal be disrupted by a box that casts tashas hideous laughter on anyone who stands too close the Halfling who proposed running into the hall lcearly thinking hed been laughed off, we get our tickets hole punched and enter. The hall showed us what our character looked like younger Monique was mildly freaking out as they’re multiple minds sewn together and can’t remember anything before being Monique, so this mirror was glitching between multiple people. After a bit we find the halfling and bring them back to their partner after explaining that they where laughing because of the box and they accept the proposal.
We also met a mime called candle foot and accepted a mission to get his voice back from a kenku who stole it
Next we went snail racing vos chose the orange nascar vibe snail or ride (I’d list the other but I don’t have those in my notes lol) vos came second to last and got a wand that can cast dancing lights as consolation and Evie came first and got a potion of advantage (basically giving them advantage to any roll they want once)
The next ride we went on was called the mystery mine which was an illusionary ride that showed the characters fears I will list them in order: 1st was vos’es fear which was a mind flayer (for obvious reasons if you’ve read my last post), the 2nd was bats which was our wizard olives fear, the 3rd was rats which was barmirs fear, 4th was a abolith which was Moniques fear and the 5th and final fear was the mcfucking goose from hell which was Evie’s fear. Let’s just say vos failed all there wisdom saving throws and was having the worst time they’re now going to have nightmares for the next 2 days (Monique had a staff to fix this but I wanted to see what our dm would come up with lol, also plot)
The final ride we went on was called the bubble pop tea pot which encased us in these large bubbles which allowed us to float around the carnival, this was rather lovely especially after vos being scared out of their mind for the second time lol, during the ride brian/little guy seems to take note of the overview of the carnival
After that it was finally time for the big top extravaganza we watched one of the owners Mr light (who was very eccentric) introduce the show as it started and the party gets brought up to perform and it goes well!
After the show we get called backstage to talk with Mr witch and Mr light (the two owners)
And that was where the session ended!
#D&D#d&d stuff#d&d campaign#D&D session#long post#we still dont have a group name lol#the sessions happen on Fridays but I'm slow writing things so yeah you'll probably get these on weekends lol

Photo
Farewell Jeff Herbert, long may we celebrate your incredible life. You were an eternally curious man, generous with your time. You always asked how people were going and cared about what they said. I cherish the adventures and conversations we had in Jakarta, Bali, Banda Aceh and beyond. This photo shows your love of family and friends, how the banter and laughs never stopped with Jeff. He came to all three gatherings in our wedding extravaganza, he was always there for people. I'll miss your reassuring double thumbs up. Love to Evi and family, and all who are sad today. (at Jakarta, Indonesia)

I need all the Part 4 questions answered for Cora, thank you very much 🤗❤️
Yeesssss, my beloved Cora! I actually already answered some questions from Part 4 for her, but I'm very excited to dive into the others!
1. What is your OC's relationship to their family - biological or found?
Well, her biological family is dead, so... But she's incredibly proud of her heritage and honors her family's traditions, and she wants to carry on their legacy to the best of her ability. As for her found family, the Straw Hats... My goodness. She adores Luffy. He's just such a ball of sunshine. Even if she's sometimes put off by his stupidity or his antics, she can't really stay mad at him. Cora is in love with Zoro, even if she doesn't really realize it at first, and Zoro loves her back, even if he's frantically trying to deny it. The mosshead may be very stoic and a bit hard to get through to, but she understands him and gets through to his heart like few others do. She also feels very safe around him because she knows that he would murder anyone who tries to hurt her on the spot. Nami and Cora are fashion besties and they love to gossip. You better not get on their bad side because Nami can be very bitchy and Cora can be very dramatic. As for Usopp, she loves to experiment with him. Her with her dyes and their effects and him with gunpowder and other ammunition ingredients. You'll often see them just chilling and chatting in a corner with their various experiment kits. And Sanji... Oh boy, Sanji... Him and Cora have trauma-bonded on so many levels, but they also have such a sweet and romantic relationship... I'm not gonna talk about future Straw Hats here for spoiler reasons, but there's some cuteness going on there too!
2. Does your OC act differently around different people?
Answered here!
3. Is your OC a good leader? Do they like to lead or do they prefer to follow?
I'd say, yes, she could be a good leader if she managed to be confident about it. She definitely prefers to follow though.
4. Who influenced them the most on their journey?
Answered here!
5. Do they have any siblings?
Not anymore, no. I think she may have had an older half brother or sister (like, significantly older), but they're dead now.
6. Are they more dominant or submissive in their relationships? (Not just sexually if even at all - Do they give in easily? Are they demanding? Are they stubborn?)
At the start of her journey with the Straw Hats, she's definitely more on the submissive side, but she learns to put her foot down as she grows more comfortable around them and with herself. She starts off as a people pleaser but learns to absolutely bicker and be stubborn due to her friends' influence. The constant fighting between Zoro and Sanji and Nami's bitchiness is very inspiring lol
7. What type of friend are they?
Answered here!
8. How loyal are they?
Answered here!
9. How far would they be willing to travel for a loved one? What would it take to convince them?
Pretty far, honestly. The problem is that often doesn't have the appropriate means of travel, so some places are just unreachable for her, but she'll be damned if she doesn't at least try. The more serious the situation is, the more desperate she'll get at trying to get to her loved one by any means necessary.
Thanks so much for your ask! Hope you're having a lovely day! <3

all of this one for Black Widow??
You're lucky, this is one of the few ones I haven't answered about her yet! Here we go!
1. How good is your OC at making plans? Do they follow through with them?
Aurelia is a great planner and strategist and she will stick to them as much as possible, but she also knows how to adapt them if necessary.
2. What is your OC's drink of choice? Do they drink at all?
Her drink of choice is red wine, but she'll also sometimes take a cocktail, champagne, or other drinks. Very rarely does she also drink rum, but only if it's good rum.
3. What is your OC's alcohol tolerance? How do they act when drunk?
I'd say Aurelia has a pretty normal tolerance, but people think it's higher because she can act pretty sober even when very drunk. It's the absolute guardedness and the striving for affection - and the anxiety, honestly. But if she doesn't have to be completely guarded and in control, she becomes a little more playful when drunk. Or a lot. Her first date with Mihawk wouldn't have ended the way it did if they hadn't both been a little more than tipsy.
4. What is the one thing about themselves they would change?
The one big thing she would change, she already did, and that's her sex. Thanks to a certain queer icon, Aurelia is now a biological woman and she wouldn't go back for anything in the world. But if we're talking about minor things, she'd probably like to remove the scar on her stomach because it's a reminder of what could happen when she lets her guard down and lets herself love the wrong person.
5. What animal do you associate with them?
Spiders, clearly, and snakes - also more or less clearly if you know what culture she's from and who her animal companion is. The spider is of course a nod to her epithet and her crest, and the snakes symbolize her heritage.
6. What's their favourite flower/plant?
Aurelia loves red roses, but her favourite has to be the aster flower, for nostalgia reasons. It's also the one that made it into her crest!
7. What odd habit to they have?
It's more of a quirk, I suppose, and that's rarely using her left hand for things. Obviously, her left hand is a lethal weapon. She doesn't want to hurt anyone she cares about with it or cause unwanted damage. And if she does use it, it probably looks a little odd because she has to be hyperaware of the position of her claws at all times.
8. What is their weapon of choice? What's their fighting style?
Her weapon of choice are her claws. Second place goes to her dagger if she ever needs to stab someone. If she needs to use something bigger, she'll settle for a rapier, but it's not exactly her specialty. Her fighting style, much like that of someone else from her culture, centers around her legs, kicking people and martial arts. In her universe, she's one of the people who taught Sanji!
9. What languages do they know? Can they only speak them or can they write them, too? How good are they at them?
Well, does One Piece have languages? Not really. But if we're talking real-world Aurelia, she's definitely a polyglot. I imagine she knows English (which I hereby define as the lingua franca of the world), Spanish and Italian from a very young age, and then keeps learning languages as she gets older because, if you want to negotiate with someone, it's best to do it in their language or at least a common language. She definitely knows French as the language of royalty and probably some Japanese as the main language of the swordfighting world. Other languages she may know bits and pieces of or understand them but not know how to speak them.
10. How good are they at cooking? What are their specialities?
Aurelia is probably a decent cook. Not really stellar but also not bad. I bet she makes a good risotto though!
11. What is their favourite and least favourite food?
Oof, I honestly don't know. Her favourite would probably be something that can be paired with red wine. Or maybe pasta with a carbonara sauce? For some reason, I could see her enjoying that. But also spicy food. As for things she doesn't like... anything bland or with too much salt. Yes, this means that Aurelia doesn't like salted chips.
12. What is their sleep schedule like? Do they get their 8 hours of sleep or do they run on caffeine?
Aurelia gets very little sleep while she's out and about. She'll stay up late and get up early, and that sleep cycle often gets disturbed when she's out at sea. That means that, when she gets back from a longer voyage, the first thing she does (after greeting her husband, of course) is to catch up on sleep. She sleeps in for two or three days and then its back to late nights and early mornings. Sometimes, she also naps during the day, but anyone who catches her doing this and isn't a person she trusts is probably dead. I imagine she may have mastered the art of sleeping while standing so she doesn't have to take off her jewelry and expensive dresses when she feels like taking a nap.
Thanks so much for your ask! Hope you're having a lovely day <3

what about all of this one for Luna?? -🍂
Luna, my beloved!!! Thank you so much for this!
1. What tattoos/piercings do they have? Which could you see them having?
She has a helix piercing - which was actually the inspiration for me to get my helix piercing! Otherwise, I could see her getting fairly subtle tattoos. Not ones with black ink but maybe a light blue, a similar color to her magic. If it could glow like her magic too, it would be perfect! Maybe some moon symbols or generally magic-related stuff, gems, stuff related to antiquity... Piercings-wise, she might get her earlobes pierced, maybe multiple times, but I don't see her having too many obvious piercings. You know what I could see though? Nipple piercings. I don't know why, I just think she might get them and Sanji would love it, let's be honest.
2. What's your favourite design detail about them?
Is it too boring for me to say that I love her wings? But I also love the cracks in her face. Beloved angst and magic shenanigans!
3. Can they dance? Do they like it?
Yes, she can dance and she loves it. Ballroom dancing, that is. Some things get a lot more difficult with her wings getting in the way, but she won't let that stop her.
4. What would they dress up as for Halloween?
A Greek goddess or an elf, either one of the two. Maybe Selene herself?
5. What do they smell like?
I imagine she probably has some kind of body lotion or wash that smells like milk and honey, and since she bathes often and/or uses her lotion often (after all, she has sensitive skin), she probably smells of it a lot. Also, sea salt. She's outside on a ship most of the time, so it would only make sense for her to smell like the sea too.
6. What color is associated with them?
A light turquoise-blue!
7. What song do they belt at the top of their lungs?
Barely any. But, like a true Straw Hat, she will go off on Binks' Sake/Binks's Rum.
8. What's their favourite style of music?
I'd say a soft jazz and sort of pagan folk style music. Also, harp/lyre songs, since...
9. Do they play any instruments?
... she plays the lyre! It only seemed fitting.
10. Are they more traditional or more progressive? Do they take pride in the culture they come from? Do they combine multiple cultures?
Ooooh, this is a tough question for Luna. I'd say she's more or less traditional, but, uh... She doesn't really have a culture she comes from? Luna is a singularity and she never had one culture that raised her. But she does stick to pirate traditions and likes things that we would consider traditional in our real life Western culture. But she's not opposed to more progressive ideas, especially not those of her crewmates. Culture-wise, well, she doesn't really have much of a culture, but she does take pride in her belief of being the daughter of the Moon Goddess.
There you go, hope you're having a lovely day!

Relationships: 2, 4, 7, 8, 9 for Aurelia!
Yeeesssss, more Aurelia asks!
2. Does your OC act differently around different people?
Oh, absolutely. Your relationship to her massively determines how quickly she will threaten you with death. Generally, she's very guarded around most people and acts like she's above everyone else - which she usually is. But around Mihawk, she gets to just relax and be vulnerable, and that's a very intimate and soft thing. At her core, Aurelia is a very caring and generous person, but a lot of people will never see that side of her.
4. Who influenced them the most on their journey?
Definitely the Kuja. I don't wanna give too much away for spoiler reasons, but the Kuja are who raised her until her mother took Aurelia with her to live on Sabaody. Another very influential person is the noble who she served and then got betrayed by because he's responsible for her guarded attitude. Third place goes to Emporio Ivankov, The Queen™.
7. What type of friend are they?
Are we talking about "friends" or actual, literal friends. Because when it comes to "friends", it's one big power play and she will not hesitate to act against you if you rub her the wrong way. At that point, you're "friends" by force, not because either of you like each other. But if we're talking actual friends, she would murder for you at the blink of an eye. She'll declare war for you. Just say that word and she's got your back.
8. How loyal are they?
Once again, refer to the "friends" vs friends debate. If you're "friends", then not very. As long as you're useful to her, she'll demand your loyalty but not let herself be limited by anything you say. But if you're actually friends, she's loyal until death or until you betray her, at with point you're the one who's dead.
9. How far would they be willing to travel for a loved one? What would it take to convince them?
To the ends of the earth and beyond, she's coming to stand by your side. Depending on how serious the situation is, it would only take a single word and she'd show up.
So, that's it. If anything, this just goes to show: Aurelia is deeply untrusting and dangerous to be around if you're not on good terms with her, but once she trusts you, she's willing to bring on armageddon for you.
Have a nice day! <3

Appearances and Social Customs for Aurelia: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8!
More Aurelia questions to answer? With pleasure!
1. What tattoos/piercings do they have? Which could you see them having?
She has her earlobes pierced, but aside from that, she doesn't have any piercings or tattoos. I could see her having a sort of rose-and-thorns combo on her left leg though. She saw Smoothie's tattoo and went: "This. I want this one." Aurelia has some long legs, she could pull it off.
2. What's your favourite design detail about them?
Everything? I love her design so much. But it I had to pick one thing, it would have to be her claws. Hands down. Close second goes to her hair ornament though, but she doesn't always wear that.
5. What do they smell like?
I imagine she uses a subtle yet elegant perfume. Maybe something with violets? A bit of cinnamon? Just something that screams expensive. But it's also important that you can't smell it from a mile away in case she ever has to disappear.
6. What color is associated with them?
Black? But black isn't a color, so I'll have to go with gold. I mean, her entire left hand is covered in gold claws, her logo is golden, she wear gold jewelry... Another color would be that sort of amaranth, dark fuchsia of her collar in my concept art of her.
8. What's their favourite style of music?
I'd say she's probably a fan of jazz, specifically Latin Jazz. Also, anything that's a tango or pasodoble, because those are her favourite dances.
Thanks so much for your ask! Hope you're having a lovely day!

Be My Mirror, 4, 5, 6, 7 for Mihawk and Aurelia! (sorry I keep asking for them lmao I just love them together so much)
Never apologize for asking about Mihawk and Aurelia. They govern my mind and I will always be happy to answer asks about them!
4. Who is constantly teasing the other? How does that person react?
They both love to tease and they both do it constantly. Whenever one of them notices something to make a sly little comment about, they will, and the other will most definitely fire back. Bickering is one of their main love languages.
5. Who's more physically affectionate?
Surprisingly enough, it's Mihawk! He's practically always the first to have his hands somewhere on Aurelia's body, partially because she's so freaking beautiful, partially because he has a huge possessive streak and likes to constantly assure himself that she's his. Also, he may or may not be at least a little bit of a cuddlebug, but the world will never know. Outside of those castle walls, he's cold and disinterested, but when he's home with Aurelia, he'll constantly be kissing her, holding her close by the waist, dancing with her... Anything to feel her close to him.
6. Who's the better cook?
I'd say it's probably Mihawk. Both of them can probably cook, but somehow, I think Mihawk is just better at it. I don't know, I headcanon him as a pretty good cook. Plus, he knows just what wine to pair with the meal!
7. Who's the bigger flirt? How do they handle being flirted at? Do they blush easily or get nervous?
At first, it's Aurelia by far. The first few months or so, Mihawk basically doesn't flirt with her at all without some liquid courage because the man is nervous. Aurelia might as well be a goddess to him and he's not about to lose her or upset her. He also gets pretty flustered whenever she flirts with him. Blushing, yes, but mainly just straight up forgetting what he was originally thinking about. His brain just completely short-circuits. After they've been dating for a while, he does get used to it though and also gets more comfortabel with flirting back, but Aurelia is still the bigger flirt. Her tongue is still just as magical as when it all started. She can make the World's Greatest Swordsman fold with just her words.
There you go, the One Piece verse's Gomez and Morticia Addams! Hope you're having a fantastical day <3
