Hello!
I see that's a Zoro thirst era so here I am 🥴
Can I request a headcanon of him, Law and Ace? (separately) About how they would react to a small sized reader?? With like the cute moments and the feisty ones 👀
Lol from when I was little and still to this day I always was the "little" "cute" "short" friend that when cusses everybody goes like "OOOH! 😲" and I'm like Bruuuh!!!
Lol I hope someone can relate to this!😭
Could you make it a fem!reader?
Thank you in advance if you happen to accept the ask!
I really would like to know if this is also your situation or if you have friends like me! 🤣 (If you don't mind of course!)
i’m glad the zoro thirst train is still going strong lmao i love those three (obvy) — i’m actually 5’2”! i know that short life very well, no one takes you seriously until you snap ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡ also since everyone around me has more or less been taller than me, it feels like a conspiracy. anyway, this came out longer than expected (i feel like i always say this lol) but i had fun <3
2.1k words, (short) fem reader, fluff, a tiny hint of angst, and a splash of nsfw stuff (hand job, public sex, spanking, yk cute stuff like that).

the day you meet, he doesn’t take well to your presence at all; franky says he’s being too serious, and jinbe agrees, sanji doubling-down right after and reiterating what the first two say. it irks him, . you earn your spot; while you might not have the same physical capabilities of some of the others, no one can take away your tenacity. it’s a quality that luffy admires; he explicitly says as much, in front of everyone, that he wants to bring you into his group. make you one of them—and his decision is always final. 
eventually, you grow on him; he fights it tooth and nail, sometimes making you feel like you’re permanently going to be on his shit list. it’s a ruse, fortunately; he can’t quite make himself admit it, either. someone so small, so seemingly innocent—cute; even though zoro will never openly say that—so easily likable, everything about you intrigues him. it’s when you get into a silly argument with usopp and luffy, with a lot of misunderstanding—using words incorrectly (luffy, alone, is guilty), and before long, no one even remembers the original point of the argument. then zoro laughs out loud. the sound startles you; you’ve never seen him laugh that hard, his eye closing as he doubles over, and because of this, everyone else laughs too.
for some reason, the seamless way he was able to cut the tension, it warms you significantly. and it’s after that moment, that you become inseparable. you’re curious about his training and he doesn’t think when he says he can help build your endurance—enhancing your stamina will only make your crew that much stronger, he decides. through all of the sweat, the accidental tears, and the oppressive workout regimen, you learn more about his real ambition and he learns that you’re not just a cute, short, helpless person. you’ve got more bite than people realize. and he likes it.
and on a night where the sky is clear, you collectively decide to have a feast—to celebrate life, to mourn over fallen allies, to simply exist together. the music and laughter are loud enough to snuff out any extraneous sounds—but, this doesn’t mean you won’t try to keep quiet. after drifting away from your crewmates, drunk off of the party’s atmosphere, you end up on the balcony talking and joking with zoro. and maybe it’s because your presence is calming, or that you smell like warm vanilla, a hint of coconut, but he pulls you closer and kisses you. your lips part, his mouth devouring yours hotly, tongue thrusting inside recklessly. it leaves very little room for you to breathe, or for your brain to stop melting. when you do finally pull apart, you pant softly, hands shaking as they land on his chest; he has a knowing smile on his face, and even though your face flushes terribly, you can’t wait to kiss him again.
Tumblr media
he finds it impossibly inefficient of you to be this short; he likes to remind you of it whenever he can, evoking your wrath, eyes narrowed in anger. it’s appropriately adorable, which further proves his point that it is impossibly inefficient for you to be this short. everything is much too high for you to reach—you stomp your foot repeatedly when they take their time to help you. and even though law sternly told you not to try and climb things, you do it anyway. the first time he catches you, you nearly fall—your knee slips on the counter. if he hadn’t been close by, you would’ve hit your head pretty hard. as the ship’s captain, he finds it irresponsible of you; and as the ship’s surgeon, he thinks you should be placed in a small bubble where you can remain unharmed.
the second time he catches you, an unstoppable impulse shoots through him. taking long strides, he reaches you quickly; he plucks you off of the counter and unceremoniously tosses you over his shoulder. your mouth falls open in protest, face burning with embarrassment—you snap and tell him that you can walk your own damn self to whichever secluded area he wants to lecture you in. and, try as he might, law keeps his composure, until he just can’t anymore. you think you have the upper hand now, want to taunt him about it, but then his hand makes contact with your ass—giving it a nice, firm slap. 
you lose your train of thought, stumble over your words, and grab the back of his jacket. a soft moan comes out of your mouth and before you do anything else that’s shameful, you clamp your lips shut. it’s amusing to him, you trying to have some restraint—but he knows better. you’re defiant, fearless, and a pain in his ass; but somehow you’ve tethered yourself to him, anchoring his heart, a calm he’s never really experienced before. 
he finds this all annoying, and yet he can’t stay away from you. 
bepo’s already gotten on him about how he’s much more strict with you than he is with the others. barely blinking, he simply shrugs it all off, not needing or wanting to explain himself to his friend. besides, he hardly understands any of this himself. law refuses to acknowledge that he has feelings for you, because giving it a name will veer him off course. he can’t afford to let that happen.
still, he takes you to his office as you try to regain your logic; as he locks the door behind him, his hold tightens around you before he perches you on top of his desk. staring up at your captain, you eye him sharply, hating how much you want him to spank you again—and doubly hating how your thighs keep rubbing together. your expression is priceless; a smirk makes its way onto his lips, as he rolls up his sleeves.
“don’t move,” he instructs, his eyes darkening, keeping you rooted in the same spot. you sit there, holding in a breath, trying to figure out if this is a very long dream, or if it’s actually happening to you. after taking off his hat, law grabs his desk chair and sits right in front of you. there’s a charged energy in the air around you; it has you sinking your nails into the palms of your hands, leaving behind angry crescent moon shapes behind. he settles into the chair comfortably, brushing his thumb against his lower lip before saying, “take it off.”
the command propels you in action, you clumsily peel your clothes off, pausing only once you’re in your bra and panties. he fixes you with a hard look, fingers twitching slightly. “all of it.” his gaze unnerves you, makes an ache grow within you, your thighs rubbing against one another as he raises a brow at you. without thinking about it too much, you unhook your bra and toss it onto the floor. he watches you carefully, almost obsessively, afraid that if he blinks he’ll miss something crucial. you hastily tug your panties off, goosebumps traveling along your skin. you’re very aware of how law is watching you and when you finally spread your legs, he admires the way your arousal drips from your pussy, slow like honey, his cock hard and painfully trapped behind his jeans. he has every intention of showing you just what happens when you defy orders from him, and you know in the back of your mind that you’ll do it again just to push him to his breaking point, hoping he’ll fuck the bratty attitude out of you.
Tumblr media
because he’s much taller than you, he runs into you; a lot. so much that you ask him one day if he’s doing it on purpose. now, ace, being impossibly ace, will never willingly admit that he watches you more than he should; he will also never admit to liking the height difference between you two. he watches you struggle to reach things, laughs at the way your crew mates tease you endlessly about needing to grow an inch or three, and sees your temper shoot venom every time the jokes go a little too far.
after docking on a small island, you explore around, hoping to burn off some of your anger. the large ship is an impressive beast as it drifts in the water, acting as a landmark for you to return back to once you’re done. a few of your crew mates offer to explore with you, but you wave them off, seemingly annoyed with everyone, not wanting to lash out more than necessary if you can help it. you get turned around and end up in a clearing, the sound of water enticing you to get closer. because you’re so focused on the beauty in the fauna in the forest, you never hear him walk up behind you. 
he wraps his arms around you, affectionate and demanding. and even though you know it’s him, you let out a distressed shriek anyway. he grins behind you, laughing at your theatrics, spinning you around until you start laughing too. “i hate you.” it’s not even remotely true; you doubt you could ever hate him, no matter what, but he doesn’t need to know that, does he?
ace doesn’t believe you, even says that as he drags his lips along the side of your neck, smiling playfully against your skin; you inhale sharply, fingers grabbing his forearm desperately, your stubbornness crumbling when he starts leaving kisses behind. your skin burns; each kiss eviscerating the remnants of your anger. you whimper softly before turning around in his arms, eyelids half closed, your arousal getting the better of you; he’s not much better, his cock stiff and bothersome, begging him to do something. a groan slips out of his mouth when your hand tugs on the waistband of his shorts, deftly unbuttoning them and freeing his cock after sliding the zipper down.
you’re not sure what possesses you, but you just want to touch him repeatedly—maybe get it out of your system so you can carry on with your afternoon. you know, deep down, that that won’t exactly do the trick, but you want to try anyway. his mouth finds yours, giving you messy tongue kisses as your hand wraps around his cock and strokes it slowly. you might actually be the death of him one of these days; the pace is agonizing and even as his hips jerk forward, you won’t give him what he wants. yet. he sucks on your tongue and all of your restraint dissipates. 
your thumb rubs around the thick head, precum dripping out of his tip, and onto your hand. he’d be embarrassed if he hadn’t dreamt of having you like this — and in other ways, too — but when your hand tugs faster, his moans get louder, throatier, more desperate. he brings a hand to halt your movements and he pulls you to a nearby tree; when step out of your panties and hike up your skirt, he picks you up, using the tree trunk to hold you steady. when you wrap your legs around him, the length of his cock glides in between the folds of your pussy, pulling soft, pleading moans from you until you tug on his hair roughly.
he only chuckles at your ferocity, angles the tip of his cock with your needy entrance, and slides inside of you, pausing so that you can adjust before sliding in deeper. your nails sink into his shoulders, breath warm against his chest, his hips rocking against yours slowly as you call out his name. he never knew how much he needed to hear you come apart like this until now; his fantasy is dull in comparison; you’re so much more vibrant than his dreams portray. still, his hands are all over you all the same. you don’t even remember why you were so pissed in the first place, instead ace and his disrespectful mouth have temporarily muddled your memories. and you know that you should probably keep your voice down, but with each thrust, ace drags out sounds you didn’t know you were capable of making. 
as you lose yourself in him, his strokes get shorter, faster, terrifyingly addictive; he pounds into your pussy mercilessly, loving the way you clench around him whenever he hits a certain spot. he whispers filthy promises in your ear, your cheeks flush deeply, but you’re too preoccupied with the way he’s fucking you to care. the roughness of the tree bark digs into your skin, but you don’t care—you really, truly don’t. all that matters is this; you, ace, this sliver of time together, since there’s barely any privacy on your ship to begin with. you kiss him senselessly, lips swollen, the noises that your pussy makes as his cock slams inside of you turns you on so much that you almost don’t want it to end. so you whisper against his lips—tell him to keep on going and he fulfills that request until your voice is too hoarse for you to say anything, with tears staining your cheeks as you can hardly stand on your own without his help.

SHINSEKAI - Magicians of ES: Chapter 2
Location: ES Idol Exclusive Inn (Valkyrie’s Room) Characters: Mika, Shuu, Sora, Natsume & Tsumugi
< A few minutes later. “Valkyrie’s” room in the ES idol exclusive inn. >
Tumblr media
Tsumugi: Hmm~... Sora-kun said there is something that bothers him, so we came to take a look just in case.
But thank goodness, nothing looks amiss.
Shuu: …………
Mika: …………
Tsumugi: Both of them seem to be in deep sleep. Their vitals look fine too and both “SSVRS” as well as their life support device are running without any issues. 
Well, I’m no expert so I don’t really know, though. I just read the manual.
Sora: HaHa~♪ The “Valkyrie” pair just look like they’re sleeping to Sora~ That’s the “colour” they give off!
Natsume: They really are sleeping or rather, simply just dreamiNG.
Tsumugi: Such grandiose equipment is needed for simply just that, huh. If technology continues to be developed even further, it might become even smaller in size, though.
Natsume: YeAH. It would be amazing if they would make it as small as a contact lens like an SF cyberpunk fiLM.
By simply putting on a pair of glassES, people can go to and fro their desired dreams and realiTY.
Movies, manga, video games and many other thinGS – There are an infinite amount of ways to escape from realiTY.
This “SSVRS” is a device that allows one to dream at their own wiLL. It would be nice for it to stand shoulder-to-shoulder or even go beyond similar forms of entertainmeNT.
We might end up in history textbooks as the pioneers of such technoloGY.
Tsumugi: Ahaha. If that were to come to pass, “Switch” might be the most famous idol group in the next world.
Even for ES which is comprised of a rivalry of warlords, I’m sure it’s rare for someone to be a “significant historical figure” just like that. It might be a bit common for people to call Eichi-kun that.
Natsume: HmPH. I’m not wanting history or the public to acknowledge mE. I can’t say it wouldn’t be exhilarating, thouGH.
That’s the achievement that remains after overturning those regrets of not being able to weave the history of a tiny miniature garden – the history of Yumenosaki – the way they wantED.
Actually, I think I wanted to be someone like that from a young aGE.
Tsumugi: Ahaha, your dream came true, then~♪
Natsume: It didn’t just come trUE – It came true because it had the potential tO.
Sora: …………
Natsume: ? Sora, what’s wroNG? Is there something on your miND?
If there’s even a slight thing that bothers yOU, don’t hesitate to let us knOW. Your eyes are nothing short of reliabLE.
Sora: Hm~... Even if Sora looks from the outside, Sora can’t really tell~
Maybe it really is best for Sora to go inside “SHINSEKAI” and dig around~ Sora will say it again, but something feels weird somewhere…
Natsume: Hm~ But if you go inside “SHINSEKAI”, you’ll end up defenceless like Shuu Nii-san.
The people in this state – the players – can see the dream they want because the management is prompting thEM.
They can also control your inner thoughts depending on the story they sketch out for yOU.
Depending on what they do, they can plant emotions of love or hatrED and they might even break you psychologically and turn you into a crippLE.
Tsumugi: It’s an absurd device, isn’t it~? There is a law that’s waiting to be put in place regarding that.
Natsume: If we win “SS” and gain some powER, it might be a good idea to use it for thAT. Laws are conveniently established for politicians and winners to reap the advantagES.
Tsumugi: No no, it’s for the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people~
Natsume: Thanks to yOU, such a beautiful concept is being reduced to something shaDY, Senpai.
Tsumugi: What~? I’ve been working hard for that one reason both in the past and the present, though.
For some reason, people tend to bear a sense of distrust or hostility towards me. But I’m not attacking them out of malice.
I don’t know why but people feel happier knowing it’s an attack from someone they care about rather than kindness from someone they hate, right? If only we could tamper with those parameters. It would be convenient if we could.
Tumblr media
Tsumugi: Maybe that’ll be possible with “SSVRS”. Look, maybe I could tamper with Shuu-kun’s brain and make him like me more…♪
Natsume: That’s a heinous act even worse than murdER.

No Time For Regrets
Looking back doesn’t help moving forward.
Instead of regretting the past, create a worthwhile present.
I am no more important than any other human being, I am equally similar, in my differences.
To be important is not as rewarding as being loved.
I give no importance to importance. I don’t agree with the concept. Everyone and everything is important, in specific situations.
I love the love, inside all other human beings, it makes my heart bigger.
The soul is a magic wand that can make wine, out of water from the sewage.
When your body and your mind have been cornered, fight with your soul, it can be destroyed, but never captured.
Since tenacity is one of my trademarks, how can I spend a day without thinking of the New Atlantis. Sir Francis Bacon still has a lot of admirers and heirs, his beautiful piece of art will never be compromised. If push comes to shove, I believe that the UK will be the place that will start the cleaning up. It’s a nation that is very dear to my heart, somekind of home, for my soul, since I was young. I always regarded London as the city I go to, if I have no other alternative. Why? I am discovering myself. It’s true, that’s where I went to University, by personal choice, to get away from my parents’ home. That’s where I became an adult and spend the best years of my life, making the best friends of my life. English people encouraged, or, at least, liked my “eccentricity”. To me, they were the kind of Geniuses I wanted to be educated by. I also enjoyed fully their “eccentricities”, fully legitimate, to my eyes. the only thing that perplexed me was the ritualistic 5 o’clock tea and respect for the Queen, even from the most hardened criminals. It took me two decades, to understand that one. Otherwise, Canada became my homeland, France, the place I grew up in, and the USA, the place I wanted to make my home. It was very hard to leave the USA, last year, after 13 years, in my 24 years of adulthood, admitting defeat and being chased out of the country, by criminals, black and white, claiming allegiance to the trump thing. This is why I hate the buffoon and his Vice so much. I was on my way out, anyway, they had no reason or justification to fuck with me, through silicon Valley’s social media platforms, forcing me to become a public figure. They were laughing, in my face, while getting me in trouble, and giving my locations to all junkies and low-scum criminals, in SF and Oakland. Now, I'm safe, in Toronto, beyond their reach, but making sure that they will be singled out and punished. The idiot with green hair and newly tattooed pentagram, on his forehead, is definitely having this tattoo removed, or, start being fucked around, by Good people, including the real gangsters, he wishes he could join. None of them will take in a crack addict with a daughter he deprives of a normal childhood. Same with the medicated bitch, “home schooling” her 12 and 16 years-old to be hackers, thieves, and criminals, starving them, a couple of days a week, to buy her $30 whiskey bottle. The bitch chased me, from oakland to san francisco, desperately trying to hack me, again. But I knew better, my phone was turned off, the second I saw her. she left me chanting white supremacist slogans, with her two kids. on top of that, she tried to make me believe that she was affiliated to gypsies and that they were all criminals. Apparently, gypsies enjoy stealing, for fun, they are like kids. What an idiot, I happen to love and respect gypsies, I knew it was all bullshit. Gypsies are very straightforward and honest, towards other human beings. The idiot with the tattoo literally cried on my shoulder, to help him out, before showing me the gun he constantly carried on him, and was going to use to rob me. That’s when “Jackie Chan” and his Nepalese crew jumped in, to save my life. They wouldn’t leave my side, my last day, in oakland, making sure that my stuff and I were safe. I owe them much more than I gave them, wholeheartedly. Once back in SF, for my last couple of weeks, Mrs Z, at the Cafe International, and Chinatown were my refuge. But, there were always Nepalese showing up, when I was in a critical situation. Mexican gangs were very nice to me, too. We’ve been friends since I was 21, in Art School, reds and blues, the locals and the newly arrived. They were very nice to me. As for the junkies, camping out outside my motel room, they didn’t scare me. I invited them to chill, several times, knowing full well how the junk, or its withdrawal, was affecting them. I was careful, plus, I always had my switchblade in my pocket. For 3 years, I had practiced, daily, pulling it out of my pocket, while opening it. With those people, my hand was often in my pocket. My last week was different, I had words of young adults, camping outside my hotel room, trying to figure out what I was doing, behind the drawn curtains. I spied at them too. One night, I got pissed off and ran down to confront one of them. he ran away, scared, yelling “he’s crazy, he’s crazy”. But, he never answered my question: “Why are you spying on me?”. Then, a few days before I leave, one of my best friends tells me: “you know that in the USA, anyone can film you, at all times. even within your private spaces. It’s not the same in Europe, good luck.”. That was a good hint. Basically, Americans are being taught that “privacy” does not exist and is not protected. As well as that anyone can possess a gun, easily, and should purchase one, as a means to protect oneself. It’s absurd, to say the least. What kind of society enacts such conduct, and what kind of sovereign nation promotes these kind of values, it’s truly a shame, there is no other word for it. I won’t get into it, suffice it to say that the New Atlantis, of Sir Francis Bacon, became hell on earth, for me, the last place I want to anchor myself in. Especially after experiencing riots, in Oakland, seeing the police force more armed than the army, and the portrayal of the riots, on TV. Rioters were pretty calm, but, on TV, they made it look like civil war. That’s because, no one gets chilled seeing ambushes of police cars, with soldiers in full gear, with weapons that should not be used, in a city, on civilians. The USA is in a deep existential crisis, it needs a JB, to clean up the White House, and heal Americans, from the Ground up... The Pestilence and his Vice should be swept away, unceremoniously, with the rest of the dirt, both “Fired”, by all Americans, for being blood-sucking parasites, towards them, as well as the rest of the world. It’s become an evidence and reality, after 1 year: those two evil idiots are out to destroy everything that made America great, for everyone. Furthermore, lately, they are coming out as unapologetic white supremacist Neo-nazis, in the face of the whole world, thinking they can get away with it. The trump thing thinks that is beyond reach and that he checked-mated the rest of us. He knows that if he gets kicked out, his Vice, who is even more evil, will replace him. And, he is convinced that no one wants that, so he can tweet hate and atrocities, like a twat, without repercussions. I am not knowledgeable in the US constitutional law, but I am sure that there are special clauses, for situations like this. That means that there are ways for Congress and the Senate to enact emergency measures to neutralize both him and his Vice. The good news is, they ran as a team, from the same platform, this platform can be made criminal, unlawful, and Anti-American. Even the Republicans are getting alarmed and losing patience, since they are true Americans, like their Democrat counterparts. Belittling and disrespecting US war veterans is the biggest mistake the two idiots could have made, this is what is going to hang them dry. They tried to fuck with the most essential part of the US social fabric, the American Noble and Selfless Hero. In time, they will both get lynched by the soldiers they thought they can poo on. Obviously, the kkk morons who support them will weasel out, since they will be surrendered, outnumbered, and singled out, with their ugly faces in the public light. Who hides behind a mask, except for coward evil criminals and Halloween tricksters? A real Knight has nothing to hide. There should be a special court, in the US, set up like The Hague, to pursue the kkk and Neo-nazis and compensate, retroactively, any family put in distress by those vermins. That’s the other good news: the kkk is broke and desperate for funds, hence the trumpy thing trying to miss as much cash as possible, for them. As it stands, they cannot afford all the law suits that can be created, against them. They should be exterminated as soon as possible, while it is still possible. I’d love to see what the twat tweets, when entire kkk armies are tried criminally and publicly. Is he going to re-tweet Neo-nazi propanganda, or defend his scumbag allies? Trust me, he went too far, there is no way back for him, he’s going to keep pressing on, with his bullying, until we stop him. More than ever, I am happy Mr Macron made a big fuss with the handshake, he was the first to denounce the fraud, approved by all the other EU leaders, they knew he was going to be late, on purpose, they were probably laughing at the vain, egocentrical buffon, looking at his watch, constantly, with a mounting frustration. That handshake shows a riteful Knight, made Prince, refusing to play a faker’s game. In a way, he said: “What kind of legitimate Knight shakes hands like this?”. He was rite, it’s a schoolyard bully tactic, faking an official sign, for legitimacy. Thanks to Mr Macron, all my doubts about the evil were lifted. He made a sign, telling all real Knights that this clown was not one of them. He can go further, and insist on stripping the criminal for any honour he bought in the past, in the EU. What does the bully have, to fuck around? Possession of “The Button” as well as the means and power to create terrorism, globally, to blackmail every Nation, in the world. He is the worst President, in US history, so far. His only accomplishment is record tweets, daily, to insult everybody, in the world. Today, he was fucking with the FBI, claiming that he can change it. True, he can put white supremacists in key positions, in this essential organisation, to fuck America, even more, as well as securing, through theft, datas on all Americans, to control, rob, and blackmail them. As a bully, he tries to push as much as he can, while he can. Is this the figurehead of America and Americans, today? Americans have become the butt of a global joke, how beneficial is the current form of government, and, who is benefiting from all this? Definitely not proud patriotic Americans, his so-called fan base, They are being ridiculed, worldwide, thanks to him. Hanging, for him and his demons, might be too lenient, I’d advocate very solid bars, and public exposure 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in special cage, as an example, to discourage racist evil idiots, from trying to take over the world. Same with his Vice, silent for a reason, to hide, behind the radar, like a cockroach, while leading the kkk. Trust me, the Vice is as active, if not more, than his teammate. No real Knight is allowed to have an ego. These guys are, most definitely, fakes. Without a sheet on their face, they look and stink like pieces of shit. There is no doubt, they already went too far. It’s time to build 4 walls, around them. That day will be celebrated in every Nation, without exception, it will be a relief for every human being, on the planet. How does his eldest son feel about that? We’ll know in court, when he gets charged, as well. He will try to distance himself, without convincing anyone, of his innocence, since he is the one stashing all the money made, by stealing from American people, the past year. Russia made it clear that it won’t help, in that respect, refusing to allow the criminals to use its soil to  hide the money, through bogus companies. Putin is a Good Genius, he patiently holds his cards, while the trumped team is sweating bullets, having put their cards on the table, out of over-confidence, since he doesn’t need their money.

Behold, the most absurd all-time NBA 2k lineups for every team
You had great suggestions for each team’s all-time starting 5. I, on the other hand, had terrible ones.
Dope news: NBA 2K18 will allow you the chance to play with the best possible all-time roster for all 30 NBA franchises. Ever wonder how your favorite team’s legends of yesteryear mesh with your best players today? Wonder no more, thanks to the magic of sports’ best video game.
This got us thinking about who would make each franchise’s all-time starting 5. So, we asked you and tracked your responses.
It also got me thinking about the dumbest all-time starting 5s I could put together for each team. (Why? I don’t know. I gave up trying to figure out my brain years ago).
Below are the answers to both of those questions. If you can come up with a weirder all-time starting 5 for your favorite team, let me know in the comments.
ATLANTA HAWKS
My pointless lineup
PG: Acie Law III SG: Dion Glover SF: Dominique Wilkins PF: Rasheed Wallace C: Jon Koncak
Sheed was technically a Hawk, right? Also, poor Nique.
Your way better lineups

Doc Joe Nique Horford Dikembe Maybe? https://t.co/sjiy3p5oNf
— Bo Churney (@bochurney) August 11, 2017
Atlanta Hawks: PG: Lenny Wilkens SG: Pistol Pete SF: 'Nique PF: Bob Pettit C: Dikembe Mutombo https://t.co/Lzer6k8Hzy
— Garrison (@Garrison_McD) August 11, 2017
BOSTON CELTICS
My pointless lineup
PG: John Bagley SG: Dana Barros SF: Todd Day PF: Dino Radja C: Greg Kite
The Celtics have too many legends, so how would a team of forgotten Celtics fare? The schadenfreude already amuses me.
Your way better lineups

Hello kaia! How r u doing dear?
Would u perhaps be willing to do a headcanon for law and shanks (separately please) with a size kink and some light exhibitionism?
Thank you so much if you do it!🤍🤍
Make sure to take care of yourself love!
And especially to stay hydrated! (idk where u live but it always good to stay hydrated 🤍)
hi angel ૮₍ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ₎ა i'm doing good, how are you? i love law and shanks sm (i feel like i say this a lot, but it's true) 😭💕🤭thank u for your patience with my slow writing, but i had fun writing this 💙💙also yes i am def keeping hydrated, it's sf hot these days! pls keep hydrated as well <3
1k words, fem reader, nsfw (well, not really, it's just very suggestive), 18+, mdni, no angst today kids (surprise, surprise), law & shanks are just bullies <3 alcohol mention, light exhibitionism, size kink. rly tame, i know, i know.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
despite what most may think, despite what law might tell people, you will always know the truth; he’s much more into fooling around in public than he lets on. it’s due to his need for control, for the world to not see him in any sort of vulnerable position, no matter what he’s doing — and you play a major part in that. he doesn’t like sharing you with anyone else, especially not when he’s being intimate in any way, but there’s something about seeing you unravel slowly while the world seemingly passes by that’s alluring. it’s possibly because he likes being the cause of your undoing — where you struggle to sit still, where he can sit and lazily watch you squirm as he sits next to you, with his large hand gliding onto your thigh while under the table, stroking higher and higher, ignoring your silent pleas as you attempt to keep a straight face.
to make matters worse, he tends to push you further, to insist on carrying on a conversation with various crew mates, who simply love that their captain is much more social these days. law prattles on and on about menial things, deft long fingers firmly gripping your thigh when you attempt to press your legs together. you grind your teeth together, jaw clenched tightly, hands balled into fists as you try to will your heart to stop beating so damn fast. he glances at you out of the corner of his eyes, pleased that you’re still very much fidgeting and attracting attention to yourself. it’s a rush, he realizes; seeing you stumble over your words when a question is tossed your way, when you bite your lip and look at him, silently pleading for mercy.
but, see, law simply cannot grant you mercy without you actually asking for it, so he ignores it. an absurd line of reasoning, but it’s one he clings to not because he has to, but because he wants to.
his face is void of mirth, but you know the tall bastard is laughing internally; you can tell when you see a slight crinkle near his eyes, with the way his lips aren’t exactly set in a frown, in the way he insists on looking at you haughtily when the others aren’t paying attention, in the way he seems to enjoy seeing you lose whatever battle of wits he’s dragged you into. and if anyone comes too close to you, he tells them to leave immediately; you’re thankful for moments like those, so you can turn to him, smack his arm, and watch his facade crumble.
“you’re the actual worst,” you say, fuming at your incompetence and at his incorrigible behavior. there’s very little malice or anger in your voice, which only makes him press a kiss to the side of your neck as he mumbles something along the lines of, that’s what you get. and then you remember that you teased him mercilessly the week before, that he told you if you kept playing around you’d suffer a consequence when you least expected it. you press your lips together, try not to squeal, and allow him to pull you onto his lap — the way he handles you makes you think he has some secret reserve of brute strength that he taps into whenever he wants to ruin your life. and you’re probably right about it, but he’ll never let you know — not without taking something in return.
Tumblr media
he’s actually very flagrant about how much he likes touching you, and it’s only when you hiss, “shanks” and he puts his hand up in defeat, laughing loudly, as if he didn’t try to finger you in the back of the pub.
“everyone’s too drunk to care,” he reasons, mouth quirked upward in a lazy grin as he downs another drink. he’s not drunk at all — or, not nearly drunk enough to incapacitate himself. you, on the other hand, don’t appreciate the way your body leans closer to him, almost as if you do want him to continue. he chuckles and slings an arm around your waist, pulling you closer as he presses his mouth against your ear. “don’t be like that, doll, i’m just teasing.”
you know better than to believe his words and he knows you’re not buying his act. when shanks lost his arm years prior, you thought his impertinence would fizzle out, but it didn’t. he got worse. not that you’re really complaining; you like the way he can’t seem to stop touching you, even if you say otherwise. you like how his eyes always seek you out, how he makes a big show of kissing you in front of the others — always a messy ordeal, his hand holding the back of your neck tightly, keeping you still as his tongue strokes yours inside of your mouth. he gives you the sort of kisses that makes you melt, and you hate him for it.
and it’s because you want him to do more but you don’t know how to ask without feeling embarrassed. mostly because you tend to make a big show of how annoyed you are whenever he does that — even though everyone can more or less see the truth — but he takes that annoyance with a cheeky grin, likes seeing you fight him and your urges. he thinks it’s cute, actually. and maybe it’s because you’re smaller than him that he feels compelled to do that, maybe it’s because you try so damn hard to fight against his monstrous strength, and maybe it’s because you always seem so compliant when the others aren’t paying attention.
you whine softly when you feel his teeth graze your earlobe, practically climbing onto his lap at the last minute, straddling, hips pressed close to his as you kiss him wildly. to say he’s surprised would be a lie; he knows it doesn’t take much for you to give in, but you like the pursuit, you like how he constantly finds ways to push you to your limit; you’ll just blame it on the cheap liquor later, even though shanks will always know the truth. you like people watching, and you like being wanted like that by him — almost as if you’re staking a claim, that he’s yours and you’re his.
