call you later; 1.
Tumblr media
notes: what if you didn't pick up their call? they left a voicemail, in their own ways. characters: isagi yoichi, itoshi sae, seishirou nagi. [ part 2 : rin, bachira ]
Tumblr media
isagi yoichi
Probably felt a little bit sad you didn’t pick up. You are probably his first crush—and only, for a long time, maybe, and this boy is committed with capital C when he is into something—so don’t be too hard on him. Like, hey, his #2 after the soccer itself didn’t pick up his phone? Poor guy.
But like the considerate boy off the pitch he is, Yoichi will immediately give you a brief of what he wanted to tell you before leaving the classic note of ‘i will call you again later’. It won’t be overly long, as he prefers to talk to you rather than to the empty void of a voicemail. Or at least he intends so to seem polite and proper, until he stutters and tripped all over his words a little bit. It’s cute though.
All in all, probably one of the most normal guy from Blue Lock, as usual, and whatever sad feelings he had from getting his call not being picked up will be gone the moment he got the chance to talk to you. A little advice, just make sure to actually call him later—knowing you reach out to him as soon as you can will make Mr. Egoist pretty happy.
“Uh, so… are you busy? Wait—you are not picking up of course you are busy…” Yoichi trailed off with a nervous laugh. “But, so, anyway, about our promise to walk around Saitama, I was wondering if your schedule is free this Sunday? I got two weeks off Blue Lock but I kinda want to make sure we can do it as soon as we can, so if anything comes up—ah, but I didn’t mean it in a bad way!”
It took Yoichi a few seconds to gather his composure before he continued, “I mean, uh, yeah, I just want to do it with you soon. I will call you again so we can talk about it later! Work hard, or have a good time! See you!”
Tumblr media
itoshi sae
First of all, how dare you. He is famous and probably have people lining up for his number while you get him punching your number and didn’t pick up. Just for that, Sae might throw a tantrum, albeit a silent one.
On a more serious note, he will raise an eyebrow honestly, especially if you are the type to usually answer. But he is pretty independent most of the time, so he will only left a few words on the voice mail. In some occasions, though, when he just calls for the sake of listening to you, he will feel a little bit down. You can cheer him up later—you should, actually. Sometimes talking with Sae requires advanced mind reading technique and when he is a little bit down or pissed you really have to use that skill. Because boy, this guy is pretty constipated emotionally.
So, end notes, just call him real soon, okay? He might act cold and tough but he is also someone whose favorite show is Chibi Maruko-chan. He won’t say much in the voicemail or act like it afterwards, but he might really wait for you to call back, especially if he didn’t hear anything from or about you for a day. Though, honestly, just call him back or answer his next call before five seconds so everyone could be saved from his scathing vocabularies.
“What do you want for dinner? I’m picking you up later,” Sae said without wasting a second. “Hurry up and decide, then call me soon, got it? And in case you are thinking of anything funny, finish whatever you are working on first, then call me as soon as possible.”
For a moment, it was as if he was done. Then, a few beats of silence passed and he continued, “…and honestly… nevermind. Just call me soon.”
Tumblr media
nagi seishirou
Yeah, let’s be real—he won’t leave a note and just give up. He willed out energy to call you first and you asked more from him? Wow. The fucking audacity.
But, let’s say, he really really wants to talk to you at the time and is in a really really really good mood—it will be long, if only for the long pauses. He will speaks sparsely, like the personification of bullet notes, as he doesn’t really see the point in talking if you are not really there to begin with. But, at the same time, Nagi Seishirou is also a Blue Lock egoist and he thinks having you listen to his voice note for a long time is not exactly a bad thought.
In the end, though, he really just want to hear your voice, actually. So, sooner or later, he will end the note with a ‘call me soon’ and plays a few games while waiting for you. The guy really need to recharge whatever small battery he has with you, so you really better call back if you don’t want to deal with a pouty Nagi holding a petty grudge for three minutes. And come on, do it for Reo, dude has way too much on his plate already.
“Eh, why are you not picking up?” Seishirou started with a complain, before immediately staying silent for a long time. Clearly on purpose, rather than for trying to remember something. “…I want to talk to you, so call me later, ‘kay?” he continued, in the end. “Choki also misses you by the way. You love Choki, right? So you really better call me back.”
Then, as an afterthought, he added, “Oh, I also have something I want to show you. So, let’s meet up next week. That’s all. Later.”

"Just another morning" (Saitama/Reader)
[absolutely sick. ill. famished for this man. No plot just a drabble]
Saitama' is whiney and clingy when he's sleepy...
~~~~
Media and the lot alike make waking up seem so peaceful sometimes. It can be, especially when accompanied by your partner. Little moments of unspoken sweetness and all the whatnot, except when you have to piss as badly as you do.
By the dark of the room and what the clock beside you says, there's a couple of hours before Saitama's usual alarm goes off. If you make it quick, you can lie in bed longer and fall back asleep. Or take that moment to make something out of a quiet moment like this. Maybe.
Saitama barely has his arm around you in his sleeping position. You don't even know how he manages to end up so crooked sometimes. Practically diagonal on the futon. That arm only works as a guideline for not getting shoved off. As you sit up, you slowly try to unwrap yourself from his loose hold. Some days he's a light sleeper, some days not so much...just gotta be careful.
He catches you the second you think you're in the clear. He's quick to wrap his arm around you again and gently guide you back into his arms.
He croaks out a sound of disagreement to your escape attempt in your ear as he spoons you close to him. Goosebumps spread across your neck as his deep breathing of your scent warms it and a sigh of contentment when the haze of you fills him.
"I just gotta pee real quick," you tell him as you turn your head to look at him. His eyes open a bit. He hums as if he thinks about it before closing his eyes again.
"Uh-uh."
"Please?"
"Mm…"
Saitama pulls you closer and lifts a leg over yours to secure the comfy position.
"It's not healthy to hold it when you gotta go...and I gotta go." 
Your last escape attempt is making it about health. It always gets to him.
A long, dramatic whine sounds from his lips before he huffs and rolls off of you.
"Go pee and come back," he groans sleepily.
Once you scoot away a safe distance, you respond with a bit of a jest, "Such a baby…"
"Hurry up…" he whines again, "I'm cold."
You roll your eyes while chuckling at his dramatics as you enter the restroom.

One Punch Man characters with a clingy and affectionate S/O
With : Saitama, Genos, Tatsumaki, Fubuki, Garou.
gn!reader.
(Warning : No one ig.)
Saitama
Tumblr media
This man don't understand why are you so clingy.
Therefore, he obviously wouldn't reject your affection.
He love you after all.
One thing he's so confused too is why are you always like this. Like, he could literally be sitting on the floor playing a game with King or talking with Genos and you would have your arms around his neck with a smile on your face.
But the worst is in bed. Why are you hugging him even in bed ?? Like- come on, even here ?!
But he is used to this, so don't expect him to complain.
Afraid to hug you. Why ? Because of his strenght. He's scared that he would break some of your bones or other just by hugging you too tight.
So, if he hug you, it's just wrapping his arms around you or his hands on your waist, but it's not a little tight. That's why he like to have one of his arms around your neck, that's a way to show his affection.
But that don't restrain him to show him how much to love you though. He kiss you a lot on the cheek or the forehead, shared his food with you, love to play games with you, would obviously protect you a lot, and sometimes he even hug you back ! He just love your presence and you.
Genos
Tumblr media
(that was hard to find a gif of him ong 💀)
Genos is fascinate by you. At first and that's still the case, he doesn't understanded why you loved him. Did he do something ? Is it his body that hold your attention ? The fact that he was a hero ? Poor little boy is just lost.
But when he realise that he loves you too, it was weird to him. Not in the worst type of weird, but it's just something new to him.
Would ask advice to Saitama. Did he got any answer ? Of course not.
But that's not the subject.
So, i can see him a little bit like Saitama : Confused on why you are so clingy.
But, unlike Saitama, Genos is not afraid to hug you too and show you his affection. You can expect him to smile all times you hug or kiss him.
When both of you are walking, he would hold your hand by telling you how much you have all his heart. He's afraid to lose you, that is his worst nightmare.
Blushy boi. You can't tell me otherwise.
Tatsumaki
Tumblr media
As you all know, Tatsumaki is a big tsundere. Literally the definition of a tsundere.
Most of the time, she would complain on your clingy nature. Sometimes, she would even remove your arms if you are hugging her, but that's rare. Usually, she just complain but let you showing your affection.
She act like she's pissed, but she secretly love all this. When she's alone and only when she's alone, she would fangirl on you. She don't like to seems vulnerable, not even in front of you neither in front of her sister.
But, there's one case where she would hug you back : If she's tired or in a bad mood. On these times, expect her to be as clingy as you, if not even more.
"Y/nnnnn ! Hugs time ! HUG ME !"
But expect her to deny this when she is better tho.
A real kid when tired or in a bad mood. Even if she don't show it, she loves you a lot. If you ever break up with her, be sure than she would be even more a tsundere, not even to you only, but to everyone.
And there's time too where she's a bit sweeter then usually. A bit. These times, she don't complain about you being clingy, you would even see her secretly smiling.
Would be proud to claim you hers in front of other people. You're hers and only hers, she owns you and wouldn't accept that you love or even hug someone other than her. She would be jealous as fuck.
Fubuki
Tumblr media
A literal sweetheart. Change my mind.
The best cuddle buddy of them five.
Even though she seems cold in front of everyone, especially to the Hero Association, in front of you ? An another story.
An angel. Even softer to you than to her sister.
I love her with all my heart.
Everytime you jump on her to hug her or kiss her, she has a big smile. She gladly hug you or kiss you back, not hesitating to hold you tight.
She often take you by the hips to make you sit on her lap as she show you her affection too.
I can't tell that she's clingy, at least not as clingy as you, but she likes to hug you too.
When you two share a kiss, she usually put her hands on your cheeks as she play with your tongue.
Proud of you and not ashamed to show it, even in public.
Therefore, she's a bit less clingy in public. She has a reputation to hold after all.
But she would still accept your affection and cuddle you. Just not as clingy as when you two are alone.
She often say to you that she loves you so much.
"I'm proud of you, Y/N. You're my treasure."
She's so soft to you that she hates arguments.
So, when you two are in an argument, she tries her best to stay calm.
Hurting you ? Yelling at you ? Next.
Garou
Tumblr media
This teasing mf.
Always teasing you about how much you're clingy to him.
But he gladly hug you back too, just like Fubuki.
Kiss king. You want to kiss him ? Just tell him. But don't except to lead the kiss. You can try, of course, but not recommanded.
Would grab your chin as he's spicing the kiss a bit more all seconds.
You want to hug ? No problem.
Would put his hands on your hips to make you sit on his lap. As you're wrapping your arms around his neck, he grab your ass to bring you closer.
Even in public, he would be as teasy as in private.
Make sure to leave you all blushing at all times. What ? You started after all.
sorry, i wasn't too inspired for garou- but basically a teasing mf.

Maybe it's because they're closer in the manga, but I feel that Saitama is more regretful with himself than pissed off with Genos. We didnt' see his face when he kicked Genos out and we didn't see it either in this chapter when he believes that he has nothing to teach Genos. I think since the MA, but specially after the "glowing" spar, he feels kinda bad for not being a good sensei.
Referring to this part in the new chapter? Where Saitama's drawn with his back turned to us?
Tumblr media
Even in the wc (where the paneling's similar) I didn't get the impression he was pissed at Genos really, perhaps more upset at the disruptive to downright destructive lengths Genos will go for his sake--still undeterred to remain Very Close by his side (in this case, rudely stealing his neighbor's apartment) when Saitama believes going that far isn't necessary for what little he can offer him in return. :') Perhaps he regrets how it's escalated to this point of no return, while both struggling (failing) to set personal barriers AND for not knowing how best to help Genos... (He definitely felt bad when he noticed Genos feeling down and failed to communicate any proper 'sensei' encouragement.)
If anything, Saitama was getting more pissed at King this ch for effortlessly wiping the floor with him while simultaneously lamenting his own powerlessness + lack of options (as if Saitama's efforts to improve at gaming were getting dismissed as worthless here, and yet, Saitama didn't realize he was kinda dismissing King's real-world efforts to improve with such a flippant 'solution' in response...I had hoped he'd be more receptive to King's problem in the manga, but it seems 'lifting weights' is still the only advice he can say to friends and visiting acquaintances alike...)
But Saitama's dilemma honestly felt like it paralleled King's situation this ch--where both of them feel stuck and unqualified in a role with such high idolized expectations of them (ie falsely being seen as an amazing teacher or strongest superhero), when they believe they have nothing else of value (with no other option) they can offer. In Saitama's case we know there's more he can teach, and already has taught Genos, that goes beyond the realm he thinks he knows. (For example: temperance, humanity, self-preservation, strengthening of the heart.) And in King's case there's more he can do, and already has done as a hero, that goes beyond the realm of becoming physically stronger. (For example: all his bravery to escort or intervene to save lives, from children to fellow heroes to even Garou at the end of his arc - yes I definitely count it as King stepping in and using his reputation to do the right thing!) But alas, does either character even realize this or know what they've already done? welp...
But the biggest thing - if Saitama didn't like Genos or wanted to cut him out of his life entirely, then we would know, the same way he slams the door in the faces of unwanted visitors. (Surprise: not Flash this time as in the wc, but Fubuki.) The difference is that Saitama is still expectant to welcome Genos into his life (literally, his home), and still wants to do activities with him, so that's pretty significant. Even if he feels horribly unfit to be a teacher for him (after all, muscle training is useless to a cyborg) and regrets how he can't help him the way Genos wants, feeling wholly inadequate to match his earnest expectations and seriousness about this.
But you know, somehow I feel...beyond struggling to be a better 'sensei,' what Saitama really values (and prefers) is his companionship, but struggles how best to communicate that (or how to define what he actually wants) with him beyond their usual set routine. Cause he's tried to set more normal 'personal space' boundaries, and it's not like he's said he doesn't want to be his sensei anymore at all either--even privately to himself, and yet...if Saitama didn't feel bound by the roles they've already established, then what other meaningful (or casual) interactions, towards even a different type of relationship, could he gain beyond that instead? Saitama probably hasn't even considered his other options with Genos or worked it out that far yet...

"Fairness" One Piece x Saitama reader, eight.
"Just a Normal girl looking for an everyday life. At least, if you call sailing across the seas with idiots with useless dreams a simple task, then you might wanna see a doctor. Seriously."
Warnings: Blood, gore, mentions of Luekimia, and heaps amount of blood and strength. It might be a little cursing, but not bad, and maybe some flirting in there, but it's mostly clean.
Other things:
-You didn't get bald due to your powers; you got bald to an extreme illness.
-You part of the straw hat crew, but others are interested in you and your power.
-Everyone that is a male is taller than you.
-Monsters from the OPM world will appear in One Piece, and I'll make some new monsters you will fight.
Enjoy the eighth chapter everyone! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was stopped.
Why?
Well, the shit head of marines decided to bring out an army of Kumas, which were all in front of us.
It made me sick, as this man once was a human being, now used as a weapon for the fucking law of the earth.
The people around me, and throughout the world were shocked on how many they were are, their eyes like saucers.
But, I was more worried at Ivanka, who was fighting the main Kuma, who wasn't alive either, as both of theme stared each other down, Ivanka looking pissed.
"Is this the real one? The real Kuma?" A pirate asked. "I've heard from time to time that Dr. Vegapunk was trying to build a human weapon and was repeatedly sending prototypes to Various places." Another one spoke, which made the man beside him to be shocked. "S-So they're all weapons, but why do they all look like Kuma?" No one's question was answered, as a man with a monkey on his shoulder saw a familiar person who commanded the Kuma army at Sabaody; as he was talking into a snail, I noticed it too, as I realized what the marines were planning, and to tell you the truth, they weren't playing fair. "Shit.." I muttered, catching Luffy and Jimbei's attention. "What is it, Y/n?" the fishman asked as I turned to the two. "I know what they are planning; it's weird, right? First, they leaked the information; they moved Ace's execution to make us rush. Then, they slowly backed up and lured all of us, even the other pirates, inside of this place and blocked the bay head with Kuma copies to close the trap we are now in." Jimbei hummed. "I see, so this was all planned...." I nodded. 'Yes, but we need to be cautious; these robots look strong; Ivanka-san struggled to fight against one, let alone an army..." Luffy cracked his knuckles. "That man, my crew, and I encountered him at Sabaody, I have the urge to kick his ass-" I put a hand on Luffy's shoulder. "Not the time; you must save energy to rescue your brother." Jimbei nodded. "She's right, Luffy, let's focus on moving forward and retrieve victory on the battlefield-" "GET DOWN!!" Some pirates yelled as the three of us turned to the Robot Army, firing all kinds of lasers. Many explosions happened throughout the place. Pirates struggled to stand, their arms covering their faces from the dust and gusts that blew wildly.
As two lasers came out of the way, I blocked them from hitting me, Luffy, or Jimbei. When I landed, I saw the robots go to marine ships, not bothering to kill themselves. I felt angered while glaring back that way, whitebeard feeling the same as an annoyed look on his face. "They don't mind killing their own; what a bunch of animals..." As he looked back in front of them to Sengoku, he put his sword on the ground, the blade going into the wood of his ship. "DON'T BE AFRAID, GUYS! LET'S CHARGE THE PLAZA WITHOUT STOPPING!!" His brave words fired me, Luffy, and Jimbei up as we ran forward with his crew, taking down any marines that stood in our way.
Marco, who flew above us, launched towards oncoming marines, making a kicking attack as they spread apart like bowling pins, plopping dead to the floor.
I was amazed by his power, as the outline of fire surrounding the man looked like a bird, a phoenix.
His power went away as he looked down at the dead bodies as he landed. "Don't think we'll back down. I'll kill all of you to get to ace, Yoi."
His words made my heart flutter as the three of us ran past him, heading more to the platform; I jumped in the air, his arm extending down, as my body flew down, both hitting the ground at a robust pace, scattering more marines also, the same way Marco did.
But, no matter how many marines the four of us took down, they just kept coming, like a bee nest that got knocked down, the colony wanting to sting us for revenge.
As I struggled to keep up with them, my breaths became heavy as the dust was around.
Everything was like slow motion, as my hands went to my knees, exhaustion coming to me at the worst time.
Slight blood dripped down my head from slashes mixed with sweat, and my eyes looked dizzyingly around me.
Even though I'm basically vital and Kill things with one punch, I'm still human and have limits; if they keep coming like this, I might just pass out from exhaustion.
As Luffy and Jimbie went ahead, not knowing my uneasiness, Marines surrounded me. I panted heavingly, looking at them as they looked multiple, but in all reality, I was just seeing double the amount before my knees gave out.
As the group charged at me, thinking I was vulnerable, Marco flew over me again, attacking the marines with his fire. His foot slammed on the ground, causing them all to scatter, as it was the last batch of them so far. "Man, these marines are such a pain in the ass, HEY! Are you alright, Yoi?" He noticed me on all fours on the ground, breathing heavily as he quickly walked to me, kneeling down to my level as I nodded. "Y-Yeah, t-they're just too many of them. Sir, with all due respect, if we don't get to that execution platform in time, they'll just keep coming and coming.." I spoke, sitting back up on my knees as he grabbed something from his belt holster, as it was fresh cool water, as he handed me some. "Drink." I took it with thanks, as the feeling of cool liquid hitting my throat relieved me, as the PInapple man defended off Marines who tend to get close.
Landing back down, he smiled gently when he noticed I was still drinking. "All that fighting and punching you did wear you out, Yoi; I'm impressed with your power." Taking the bottle from my lips, I smiled tiredly. "Thanks...it comes in handy with fighting in wars.." I joked as he let out a snort. "Then you must have fought a lot of them. Are you a pirate, miss?" I shook my head. "No, actually, just a regular girl." I ducked as he kicked some marines away, his eyes widening with shock. "Really? Then how did you end up in Impel down, in this battlefield?" Sighing, I used all my strength to get up and took more steady, deep breaths. "Long story, but we should get to Ace before something happens-GAH!!"I knelt down, holding my side as it seemed Mihawk's sword created a wound from our battle a couple hours ago, as the pineapple man rushed to my side. "Hey! You're wounded! You can barely stand how do you think you can get close to Ace right now, Yoi!" My teeth gritted with annoyance. "I'm fine; it's just a scratch-" "It's not just a scratch, Yoi, it looks pretty deep. OI! BACK US UP WHILE I TEND TO HER WOUND!" Some pirates nodded, others gathering around us to form a circle as they fended off the marines as Marco set me down gently on my back. Lifting up my tee shirt, his eyes widened, the wound looking more terrible than he'd seen through your shirt.
Ace saw this on the execution platform, watching me down on the ground as it made his eyes widen and for Sengoku to form a small smile. "Guess the girl is down." He spoke, Ace not believing his words as his head looked to the floor, his lower lip trembling. 'No...not you too, cutie...first Oars....now you?! Why couldn't you just listen to me?!'
I took deep breaths, Marco grabbing rubbing alcohol from his belt as he took the blue cloth around his pants, ripping some of it and holding it against my mouth. "Bite down on it, Yoi, there will be pain." Nodding, I didn't have time to not trust him, as I took the cloth in my mouth before he opened the bottle of Rubbing alcohol. "Ok, ready? 3...2...1-" "NGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!" I let out a groan of pain, my back arching suddenly as the stinging was worse than I'd ever felt before. Marco cringed from my sudden cries, feeling terrible for me as they got louder and louder each time he put pressure on it, my teeth biting as hard as I could on the blue cloth in my mouth. "You're doing great, Yoi OI. KEEP THE DEBREE OUT OF THE CIRCLE!" He snapped to some crewmates as they apologized softly; Marco's snail responder rang, and he cursed before picking it up. "pops." "What are you doing? Why aren't you heading to Ace?" "The girl is down; I'm helping her." Marco's response seemed to make Whitebeard's eyes furrow the slightest. "What happened?" "Dunno, but the slash mark on her side is rather big for a normal sword." This made Whitebeard think as he looked around the battlefield, his eyes landing on Mihawk, who was fighting against Pirates, as he noticed something off about You.
The tip of it was gone, just above where the crack you made earlier. "Seems the brat had a run-in with Mihawk; check to see if fragments are in there; the rubber brat and Jimbei are still in pursuit; catch up when you're done." "Got it, Yoi." As the transponder ended, Crocodile still was trying to get to Whitebeard, as he heard the conversation, knowing the brat they were talking about was you? Letting out a pissed and annoyed sigh, he was done with Whitebeard for now, as he turned to the battlefield again, his eyes landing on your head, the only thing he could see, which was cringing and biting on a cloth from pain.
Not knowing why he cared when he saw you like that, he simply left, going away from Whitebeard as he headed in your direction, watching as more Marines took down some of the crew surrounding you. "Damnit!" Marco gritted, holding a small knife in his mouth as he tried to look for fragments, but the battlefield was too rumbly and dusty for any progress. "SAND WHIP!" A familiar voice yelled as crocodile whipped some marines out of the way, aiding the circle. As I gently smiled at the cloth as he turned. "Got yourself in a little pickle.." He spoke to me as his hand disintegrated some swords in people's hands, kicking the two marines out of the way. "Crocodile, Yoi," Marco spoke, still focused on finding the fragments. "What can I do, birdbrain...?" Marco sighed. "Why do you wanna help-you know what? Never mind, this area is too dirty of a condition and too unstable for me to fix her. Yoi, I need a secluded area to do my magic." Crocodile stayed silent, his eyes looking around, as his eyes landed on Buggy and Mister three ways in the distance as he turned. "Give me a moment." As he was fighting off some marines, he forgot Ivanka gave everyone snail transponder shells, which could attach to his ear.
It was an intelligent method, even though she knew everyone had different views and destinations of the war; if anything had gone south on Impel down, it was a way to communicate.
Sighing, he couldn't believe he was doing this as he pressed the shell in his ear. "Oi, Ivankov.." She heard as she dodged some of Kuma's attacks, and when he was recharging, she touched the shell. "CROC BOY!" "Bald chick is down; Birdbrain needs a secure area to fix her up." Her eyes widened. "EH?! Y/N GIRL IS DOWN?! HOW?!" Crocodile gritted his teeth with annoyance. "Don't get enough damn time to explain, I need mister three..." She looked at the man the crocodile was speaking. "Oh! You mean Wax-man! I see where you're getting at. Hold on-DEATH...." Crocodile cringed, taking his finger off the shell as he didn't want his ears to go wrong, and he pressed it again. "Ivan-" "He's on the way to you! Just ensure Y/n doesn't get hurt more; she and Luffy need to free Ace!" "Yeah, Yeah, I get it, protect the baldie..." With that, he let go, as Mister Three was close. "Oi, Mister three, took you long enough!" The man huffed and Puffed. "What do I need to do?!" Crocodile pointed to me and Marco. "Form a dome around them so the birdbrain can perform on Baldy." That's all that needed to be said; as he got in front of us, more marines came, and his hands went to the ground. "WAX....DOME!!!' He yelled as large amounts of wax came out of his hands, forming a rather large dome surrounding us three, preventing Marines from entering. "Huh...guess he's not useless after all..." After his words, Buggy was sailing across the sky, letting out a fearful scream as Crocodile looked blankly, not bothered to help as Buggy crashed in front of him, Mister One coming as well. "Mister One." Crocodile greeted. "What's going on? I heard the conversation on the snail." Crocodile and Him turn to the giant dome. "She's in there, doesn't know how long birdbrains will be." Both froze when a familiar YEHAWW! Sounded through their ears as Ivankov harshly landed in front of Buggy, who jolted up with a squeal. "D-DAMN YOU IVANKOV! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME TWICE!!" Buggy snapped as Ivankov stood elegantly. "OH! MY BAD!" "THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?!" She nodded simply, turning to the done. "OI BIRD BOY!? HOW LONG DO YOU NEED?!" Buggy's eyes widened with shock at her simple answer, his face turning red with anger until Marco called out. "Give me 20 minutes, Yoi!" Mister Three tilted his head while kneeling next to me. "Is twenty minutes really enough time? I'm not a doctor, but doesn't a procedure take forever?" Marco let out a sigh. "Yeah, but we don't have 'forever.' she needs to be up and running again, pops orders." Mister Three nodded. "I see; what can I do?" Marco smiled at him. "You've already done enough, Yoi; your friends must protect this dome." Mister Three nodded and stood again. "Right. GUYS! IF ANYONE THAT'S NOT A MARINE CAN HEAR ME! PROTECT THE DOME FROM THE ENEMY WITH ALL COST!"
Crocodile scoffed, not liking to be given orders from a lower level, but readied his sand as Mister One and Ivankov stood by him, forcing Buggy to help as well. Some Marines were surprised by this team-up but continued to charge. "On my word, we attack!" Ivankov spoke as Mister One and Crocodile nodded, buggy not liking the idea, but the three just ignored. "THREE.....TWO...." Everyone got instance, as Buggy let out a sigh of disappointment, as he got instance as well, knives coming from his gloves as the four looked forward, ready to protect you at all cost.
"ONE!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"DEATH WINK!"
"THOUSAND SLASH!"
"FIST KNIFE TWIST!"
"SAND STORM!"
Let me tell you when the Marines wanted you dead, they weren't joking.
Ever since you took down the giant and almost defeated Mihawk and Smoker, they legit called you a potential threat.
So, they were trying to hunt you down the past twenty minutes, as Marco was, you know, TENDING YOUR WOUND!
It was like gym class all over again, but this time, the enemy of dodgeball can ACTUALLY kill you.
Oi! Birdbrain, what's taking so long?!" Crocodile yelled, disintegrating a marine in the air, before chucking his heart at another one, causing the man to scream, as Mister One slashes his throat.
"SHUT THE HELL UP, LEATHER PURSE, THIS TAKES TIME!!" Crocodile scoffed. "WE DON'T HAVE TIME!! JUST BE DAMN GLAD WE ARE DOING THIS!" Marco let out a frustrated sigh as his dagger was held in his mouth, his fingers carefully going through your wound. There were many knife fragments from Yohru stuck in parts of your tissue as you let out loud groans of Pain while mister three was freaking out. "H-hey!" He muttered, Kneeling next to you, as he hated the painful groans you made, not knowing what to do.
Gulping soon, he then looked at Marco. "I thought you said you needed twenty minutes; it's been over thirty!" Focused, Marco glared harshly up at him. "It would have been twenty, but the damn rumbling and shouting is not workable for my taste; it would be easier if she was under sleeping gas." Mister Three looked back at you as sweat dripped down your forehead, the cloth from Marco's belt still in your mouth. "I wish there was something I could do..." he spoke, Marco slightly glancing up at him again. "Try to have her not move so much, Yoi; it would make this much easier." Mister Three nodded. "Got it, I'm sorry, Y/n, I must do this." He spoke softly, and you didn't care but just nodded as he gently held your shoulders, as Marco began working again.
Humming loudly with the pain shooting through your body, your back arched as Mister Three keeps your shoulders down, you not being able to move much as your teeth bit down on the blue cloth as hard as you could, your teammates still protecting the dome outside.
However, you didn't know how loud you were, as the battlefield heard when the cloth escaped your mouth, your high-pitched painful scream running through everyone's ears.
Luffy and Jimbei heard, turning as you weren't there, their eyes widening as they looked at a dome where the scream was coming from. "Y-Y/n!" Luffy yelled, wanting to return, but Jimbei stood before him. "Luffy! We must proceed!" His eyes widened. "No! Not with my friend hurt!" Jimbei stopped him again. "She will be fine! The others are with her; your Job is to get to Ace!" Teeth gritting, he looked back to the dome, his brows furrowing as he and everyone on the battlefield heard your painful screams. He didn't want to leave you, but you and he both knew that Ace had a time limit, as he had to move on.
Turning, he ran, heading to the platform, as his eyes were focused and determined. 'Don't die, Y/n-san.....we'll save Ace, and you'll join my crew! That's my promise!' He thought as Jimbei followed before the Camera cut back to the dome and the others, as Mister One and Crocodile scattered some enemies, their breaths getting heavier as Ivanka and Buggy were still with loads of energy. "They keep coming; they won't stop until Y/n is dead now that she's a threat." Crocodile's teeth gritted with annoyance. "I don't want to take care of another dead body. OI! WHAT'S GOING ON?!" He yelled to the dome, as my screams were getting louder and louder.
Marco tried his best to go as fast as he could without damaging any of my tissue as he was almost done getting the fragments out, Mister Three still holding onto your shoulders as he looked down at you. "Y/n! Listen to my voice! Your going to be ok; the pain will stop soon! Just think of how much ass you will kick when you get back up! Just think of saving Ace, this war ending, and what you'll do in life after this!" I screamed more when Marco put the danger back in my wound, getting more pieces as I still was held down. “Y/n! I know it hurts! But you have to fight through the pain! We can’t battle everyone without you! You say to everyone that they need fairness, but you need fairness as well!” I breathed heavily, more sweat dripping down my body, as I looked at mister threes eyes, as somehow, he made things less painful, as he nodded his head.
“That’s it! Just look at me, don’t think of the pain! Your strong! You helped us escape that stupid prison, now don’t let this scratch get to you!” As he kept talking encouragingly to me, his words made me push through, my heart racing as our eyes never left each other, as Marco got the last piece out. “Done!” He yelled, Mister three smiling down at me, as my head went back with exhaustion. “You did it Y/n! Good job!” He praised, as Marco set the dagger down. “Oi, candle man, can you create a seal over the stitches I’m gonna make?” He looked to Marco who was already putting string through your skin. “Oh, yeah, sure, smart thinking. Just hold on a little longer Y/n” he spoke, scooting closer to Marco as he gently laid your hands on your wound, creating a wax covering so nothing will happen to it, as your ears continued to hear the fighting outside, as you became worried the time will run out. “A-Ace..” I mumbled, which caught the attention of the two, Marco sighed. “Nothings happened yet, Yoi, don’t worry.” I sat up on my elbows when Mister three was done. “But I have to get to Luffy, he’s going to get hurt-nng!” Pain from the cut shot through me, as Mister three grabbed my shoulders. “Are you serious?! Y/n-San, you have a cut the size of A sea monster on your side and you wanna continue to fight?! I understand you want people to have fairness, but think of yourself!” He snapped, worried for your safety as Marco sighed. “He’s right miss, I don’t know you, but that wound won’t hold with his wax if you go out and be reckless. Pops gave an order to keep you alive-“ “I don’t care about that damn old prick!” I snapped, harshly glaring to him. “I wanna die knowing that someone didn’t share a fate of unfairness than to sit here, and watch the man who’s life has been fucked over something he hasn’t done. That’s what a heroes called, to save the people and keep fighting when you get knocked down. Someone taught me how to be like that sorry if it bothers your sorry buts.” My explanation made the two go quiet, as I started to get up.
“I appreciate your concern, but, I’ve dealt with worse than this. So, excuse my sorry ass, I have a person to save.” I blanket stated, soon punching a hole easily in the wax dome, a gust of wind blowing some marines back, as the four protecting you paused, turning to see you waking out.
Smirking, Crocodile looked to see your fist clenched, eyes blank as the battle stopped again, Sengokus eyes widening with you being up again.
Ace was shocked too, not believing your up and going as if nothing happened, as he sighed with full relief.
“Send all the fucking marines you want too me goat man!” I snapped, Sengokus teeth gritting with annoyance as whitebeard and some warlords smirked, Luffy giving you a bright smile, as of Jimbei, myself stopping as I pointed to the Admirals and Aces direction. “BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MMAY TIMES I GET KNOCKED DOWN…”
“I WILL ALWAYS BE………”
Disappearing from my spot, everyone’s eyes widening, wondering where I went, before I teleported above where the admirals were, in front of the Giant green giant as I slammed on the ground, which broke under me, as I screamed harshly to them.

Thoughts about Zombieman.
Zombieman maybe underrated S Class hero, but he is very smart. He has enough foresight there's higher dangerous up ahead.
Like when he was going against Homeless Emperor. He knew he wasn't going to win the fight but learning about him to be able to heal back.
He was curious about the light powers he had and when he dies proved his point on there's something out there is stronger and they need to be prepared for it.
He even saw the stress Child Emperor was in and how it was affecting him. When Child Emperor ran away he called his real name from the name he hated.
He wanted to ease his burden to get stronger and help the people he cares about and others.
Even on the game to give a bit of his personality a monster was going to strike a deal with him to look the other way. The monster knew how the heroes get money and fame with popularity.
Zombieman doesn't care about that stuff as he was pissed off that he was messing with lives and destroying the people to go against each other.
He chose the lives to be saved and to kill the monster.
Zombieman and the heroes (except Genos lol) were kind hearted when Sonic was in the snow and gave him a heater, food, water and a coat to get warm.
He said "we can't let him die even if he's a criminal by chose." He cares for the health and wellbeing in criminals.
His a hero who cares about others and the lives of them to help them. He's the one to go into hidden forgotten places to help out and hunt down monsters that are hiding.
Zombieman is kind to children as he has a soft spot for them. He can see the enjoyment and life in them.
He is close to Child Emperor as he is the one to listen to him and what he gives for information about the enemies.
He called Child Emperor to check on him and gave him a sweet speech to him when he was at his breaking point that made him feel respected.
Zombieman even told Amai he can have his credit for the battle for him to listen to Child Emperor.
Child Emperor stood up for Zombieman when Amai called Zombieman a monster.
Zombieman is a man not to hold mean words as he is a forgiving guy who knows he is human and others are.
Zombieman saved Child Emperor from the light attack then gets dragged away from the monster by Child Emperor.
He even told him to leave him and run as he was going to slow him down. Child Emperor has respect to him as he wants to grow up like him.
He went to Dr Genus to remove his limiter to get stronger like Saitama (who he's met in the OVAs.)
He could had killed Dr Genus he didn't as he knew he would be needing him for help. (Even If he hates him.)
Zombieman is a detective who goes out to solve mysteries and help people in trouble. He can find monsters and people who are on the run by clues.
He can solve a clue and find where he needs to go. He even is a shy guy when he has a normal chat.
His a lone wolf but doesn't like to be on a crowd. He's quite bold when he told the Hero Association what underwear he wanted.
He's used to be naked as it doesn't bother him but doesn't want to make people squeamish at his nudety.
Zombieman is beloved by fans and people who meets him. Heroes have respect to him as he is cool looking guy with a cigarette on his lips.
He doesn't like to be in the spotlight as he didn't want the attention to the public.
Seeing him in the anime for him at a chair in the meeting and in shock to hear of Madam Shibabawa died. He was seen following the gorilla to his lair but ended up following Armoured Gorilla.
I hope to see him more in season 3 in the anime as he is one of my favourite characters in that show.

Looming tragedy
Oh a sudden thought hit me...
We saw how much Saitama broke when Genos was killed in front of him, right after we established that he cared for Genos with the core touch scene right?
Well.
We just established that Genos is infatuated with Saitama. He likes Saitama-sensei very much so.
Not that it wasn't very obvious anyway, but hey, it's down on actual words now.
Tumblr media
You know what that means... and why romeo and juliet is really categorized as tragedy.
I have a sudden feeling it may be time to check out Genos side of that tragedy. Because he is making multiple deadly assumptions with bunch of the heroes here and operating on the false premise that Saitama is infallible and cannot be outplayed. It does not appear that he has told Saitama any pertinent information that should concern him either. He doesn't want to worry Saitama with nitty gritty details because Saitama is so strong he wouldn't need to know all of this anyway and Genos thinks he'd be fine anyway.
He puts all the eggs in one basket that Saitama is all they need in countermeasures against God.
(Oh hello Genos Edward scissorhands, it is nice to meet you chapter 172 Cover, all eggs in one basket)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But we as audience know that you cannot just rely on one person to bail out everyone. World doesn't work that way, you need people to help you out.
That would just make that one person with the capability to oppose the enemy and who everyone relies on have the biggest target painted at their back.
Prioritize this person's takedown and suddenly enemy's entire foolhardy plan falls like deck of cards. Play for the win condition and take out the General.
And we know OPM God knows his worst enemies well. He calls Blast by name and he surely knows by now that Saitama is the Abominable fist that opposed God.
Tumblr media
Deadly mistakes, which are sure to cost Genos. Big time, when those rose-coloured goggles are ripped off and he remembers that Saitama is still just a human and his spirit, his emotions, jus as exploitable as anyone else's. Unfortunately, he seems too infatuated to see this obvious flaw in his battle strategy because he's not thinking logically and coolly.
Genos: It's about the way the protagonist judgement worked in the movie. Even if he had to go somewhere else, in that situation he should have quickly evacuated his family, friends and the heroine. That would have been the best decision. The way he did it, anyone would see what was his objective.
Saitama: Well... It's a movie. In any case, precisely because he had someone to protect the protagonist didn't give up and tried harder until the end, right? That's where the excitement is after all. Genos: I see... but, if he was in real trouble the enemy could have seen that objecti-
We joke that Genos is the real shonen protagonist of the series...well...
Kinda making a piss poor job that your supposed countermeasure can actually do their job right and has the tools and protection required to remain as a viable countermeasure option, by not telling him a single fucking thing, eh?
Kind of classic isfj mistake to make that because he has the details and has planned thoroughly, so he knows the best course of action. Naturally.
He's not the only one making that same mistake, because King too relies on Saitama a ton to bail him out and it already cost him is life once when Saitama did not. He got specifically targeted by one of God's minions because he baited it and made himself a threat.
Tumblr media
OPM God got front row seats to check out exactly who Saitama is, what makes Saitama tick and has no misunderstanding about the importance of Saitama as a target and his scale of power. He got all the surveillance data he needed.
Tumblr media
TBH if I was OPM God I'd just honestly stop sending useless footsoldiers and take matters to my own (invisible) hands if I wanted to destroy someone who proved themselves to be a mortal God. But that's just me though and I can't say I'm good at strategy games, but it would be pointless to throw down all these useful pawns for slaughter if Saitama can just kick their ass anyway, before Saitama himself is taken out. Brute force won't work, so more guile is needed.
Too late for Genos to evacuate anything now though.

Mangaka headcannons
Summary: Headcannons of your (probably) favourite manga creators.
Pairings: non
Warnings: Isayama Hajime
Note: These are not real theories.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
• Isayama Hajime (AOT creator): checks out memes about himself on pinterest when he's not out for people's otps and favourite characters.
• Araki Hirohiko (JJBA creator): definitely writes fanfics about him and his characters but it seems his most frequent writes are about him and rohan.
• Oda Echiiro (One piece creator): has a luffy body pillow and a gaimon themed bed set, i'm talking pillow covers, blanket and bedsheet.
• Junji ito (tomie...etc creator): falls asleep listening to horror stories on youtube, with a peaceful smile on his face.
• Gege Akutami (JJK creator): meets up every once a month with isayama hajime to talk about how hard they're gonna fuck their fans over. They talk over this while drinking strawberry milkshakes and giggling obnoxiously.
• Ken wakui (tokyo revengers creator): has a folder full of the edits of his characters on every social platform he's on. Thirst traps of them too.
• Horikoshi Kouhei ( MHA creator): once found a book of Midoriya and All might in his fanmail, this was a hardcover novel that had 45 pages with very elaborate drawings of the two characters in very 'weird' positions. The manga artist was too stunned to speak.
• Tatsuki Fujimoto (Chainsaw man creator): most of the scenes found in their manga are fever dreams they've had.
• Kubo Tite (Bleach creator): practices byakuya's bankai every morning in the mirror in order to out do the character's voice actor.
• Akihito Tsukushi (Made in the abyss): definitely has a piss kink. How do i know? Watch the anime first.
• Gotouge Koyoharu (Demon slayers): has a room where they keep every possible sanemi merch you could think of from his nichrin blade to his favourite underwear.
• Murata Yuusuke (one punch man creator): has tried to do saitama's workout regimen and failed woefully. He could only do 18/100 push ups, 10/100 sit ups, 20/100 squats and couldn't make it to 3km out of the 10km run.
• Ishida Sui (tokyo ghoul creator): once ate a spider because of a dare and said it had a weird texture but exotic taste, in short, he would do it again and 100% recommends you do too.
I was bored. Also hi! ╰(‵□′)╯ @luffyinlove here ya go.

May i ask fluff headcanons for Saitama and Tornado with their s/o? Thanks!
Of course you can, my lovely anon! Thanks for the request and I hope you’ll enjoy! I don’t often, if ever, get the chance to write for OPM so it’s nice to get the opportunity to practice the characters!
Saitama
Saitama loves his manga. He also loves his partner. So, is it any surprise that he likes to combine the two? If he knows his partner is a fan of a particular manga, he’ll read up to where they are and then he’ll make a point out of reading any new volumes together with them. He likes having them curl up against him or in his lap and he’ll hold the book as they just relax and read together.
He normally lets his partner win at video games they play together. If his partner catches on to this and complains, he will start to play seriously against them, but he always feels bad when he wins and just a little pissed if they end up whooping his ass in game.
If he knows his partner likes it done or if they specifically ask, Saitama likes to brush out and do their hair up for them as just a pleasant little domestic thing in their relationship. He’s actually absolutely abysmal at doing hair to begin with and tends to yank when encountering knots while brushing but he also is quick to realize these facts and honestly puts a fair amount of effort into improving in his abilities in both areas.
Tornado
Tatsumaki hates most people and her sharp tongue is in full display in most of her social interactions. She doesn’t form close ties easily and sees a lot of relationships as meaningless. So the softest, most loving thing she does for her partner is simply showing up, being consistently there with them, and making real efforts to speak softly to them and avoid her usual insults. Sometimes she does lose her patience or temper and will snap at them, but she’s almost always just as hurt and horrified by her actions in these cases as her partner could possibly be.
Tatsumaki has horrible nightmares and, if she’s sharing a bed with her partner (which she honestly prefers to do), she has a habit of getting clingy in her sleep in an unconscious effort to drive away the nightmare. Even if she wakes from the nightmare, she curls into her partner, wrapping herself around them and burying her face in their chest or neck and, in the extremely rare moments of vulnerability that only her partner gets to see, she’ll quietly whisper against their skin, almost begging them to please stay with her, at least until she falls back asleep.
She loves festivals, mostly for the food, but also because they’re always a fun date for her and her partner. She cherishes those times, getting to fully relax and enjoy without thinking about her Hero duties too much (though she will still occasionally think about them because she’s still who she is, partner or not). Her favourite part is grabbing candy apples and finding the perfect firework viewing spot, where her and her partner will sit, hand in hand, eating their sweet treat and watching the fireworks light up the sky.

Let’s Talk About The Redraw...
I’m gonna throw my hat in the ring here, because I’m just as pissed as the next guy.
So, Murata rewrote the latest chapter to remove Saitama and Garou’s heart-to-heart and instead throw in god...
Fucking Oops.
Look at this!
Tumblr media
I cannot understate how much this means for both of these characters and their growth thus far.
Garou up to this point has been doggedly determined to end up on top in this fight from the moment he chose his path several beat up heroes ago. And at long last hes met his match, and when forced to come to terms with the fact that he won’t achieve what hes been striving for, his resolve crumbles and into suicidal thoughts.
I want to stress that acting like his mental state is anything but alarming is disingenuous. We can argue back and forth about the intention of his words here, but as we see him in these panels, he isn’t just upset or sad, he’s actively accepted death and is merely awaiting it at the hands of Saitama. 
That Saitama’s reaction in the redraw is changed from empathetic and concerned to downright undiscerning is a fucking tragedy.
Even before actively admitting that he’s waiting to be killed, Saitama is concerned about Garou, he’s hardly fighting back, he repeatedly tells him it’s time to stop, but now all of a sudden he couldnt care less? Garou is at his absolute lowest point, this is the make it or break it moment for helping this child, this teen, this barely-even-an-adult-man come to terms with himself and get better. Because that’s what this whole arc has been about, Garou’s rampage is an absolutely desperate cry for help from someone who doesn’t know how to use their words. Regardless of his abilities and his confidence in his own skill, this path he has taken is reckless and borders on self harm. In real life (something I’ve always praise ONE for abiding by the rules of when it comes to depictions of mental health in his works) Garou’s actions would be seen as blind violence from someone who is clearly not mentally well. Saitama’s interaction with him here is so important because it was always meant to be the other side of the coin, the flip side of what the heroes Garou has met so far have been. When all his violence has been approached in turn, Saitama is the blinding light in the tunnel, the hand stopping to reach out when no one else could think to. 
So let’s discuss what this change says about Saitama. 
Saitama who’s beginning to learn the importance of words, of being a hero in all your actions and reactions, not just in battle. 
Saitama who not 5 or so chapters ago went running to check on his disciple and assure him of his worth.
Saitama who despite his occasional temper is known to those *In Canon and Meta* for offhandedly offering advice whether it’s appreciated or not.
What does it say about him that suddenly he’s ignoring this, his most desperate case of all, one I’d say is most similar in mentality to him? Because Saitama can be a little dense at times, but he is very intuitive about people’s mental states, because he himself suffers with the highs and lows of mental health, he keenly understands the mind and its workings, even if he doesn’t fully realize it. People don’t just flock to Saitama because of his power. Tatsumaki is powerful. Amai is powerful. What draws people to Saitama as opposed to them is his mentality, his advice, his blunt declaration of the truth and refusal to back down from what is truly right, regardless of whether or not it’s a comfortable truth. It’s why he stands apart from the rabble, and why he is the only one that could ever possibly stand up for Garou. Garou has been up against strength before. Strength does nothing but crush his resolve, seeing yet another unbeatable hero squash the ‘bad guy’ under foot. Words are how you get through to him. Giving voice to those thoughts he could never quite articulate, breaking down the walls of his bias and showing him the truth of what he’s been trying to tell himself all along; he wants to be a hero. A real one.
And you know what a real hero doesn’t do?
Beat down their suicidal opponent until they feel cornered enough to be tricked into the servitude of a cruel and malevolent being intent on using them for unknown personal gain.
It almost makes me wish the webcomic had been completed before the manga started. I feel like Murata’s influence has not been a particularly great one on this series, given his pension for focusing on the grand nature of the story rather than the more important yet minute details of the characters and their individual tales. 
I really son’t understand what the intention for the story is going forward. The conclusion to this arc, a beautiful and heartfelt resolution to Garou’s story was handed to us on a silver platter, and now it’s been stripped down to bare bones and rotting flesh. I am angry about the redraw, so is everyone else, and it’s entirely deserved. Here’s to hoping Murata and ONE realize their mistake and drop the redraw before it’s too late. There is too much potential, too much resting on this single moment in the story for them to screw it up this bad.
On behalf of this abysmal rewrite, I am very sorry to everyone who has ever loved this series, been inspired by it, been helped by it (because I cannot understate the leaps and bounds to which my own mental health has been positively influenced by lessons I’ve learned from ONE’s works and I’m sure i’m not the only one).
 We all deserve the original version.

Interpretation is free, facts are sacred
Yup, this is a vent post, sorry. Yesterday, someone wrote a comment to the chapter review I did of update 210 that crystallised what's been wrong with so much Reddit discourse. They disputed that Saitama was hurt, even though it's not even trivially difficult to understand it from what he's saying and the visuals. Why? Because accepting that Saitama is hurt does not jibe with their idea of what Saitama is like.
It almost gave me apoplexy because I loathe making-my-own-facts-up shit, but it also made me realize that quite a few poeple don't know the first thing about analysing a text.
There are a lot of very useful ways of talking about stuff that doesn't jibe with you. Ways like saying 'this development is not what I was expecting of this character'. Or 'I don't like the implications of what's been portrayed'. Or 'this doesn't work for me' (always valid!), or 'I don't like where the author is taking this,' or 'this seems incongruous,' or...
Those are true and don't involve denying what's on the page.
But going 'I'd expect Saitama to freak out more if he were hurt, so he can't actually be hurt,' FUCK. THAT. BULLSHIT.
Tumblr media
no, he's not talking about his clothing
And like that I understand Reddit OPM discourse better than before. It's like a lot of people don't have the tools to acknowledge where they stand, their thoughts, preconceptions, biases, and assumptions so that they can look at what's on the page as separate from themselves when they critique it. If they don't like it or it doesn't immediately make sense, instead they pretend that there's a fault with the facts. Or the authors are dumb. Or something. Holy crap... you're not entitled to your own facts is really not a joke.
I'm very aware that I'm reacting very strongly to this and that comes from my own background as a scientist. When the data doesn't fit your hypothesis there's real money and prestige on the line and it hurts. But change even one bit of the data for ease and you risk sinking your whole career at the worst and limiting what you can actually discover at the best. Because it's when shit doesn't fit that there's something new to be learned. It's not hypothetical or harmless. You are not entitled to pretend that the facts don't exist.
But this isn't a science thing, just a silly story. What's the harm? At the very least, it's cutting oneself off from following the story as one is stuck with only what one thinks one knows. At the worst, it's cultivating a lazy system of thinking about narratives that will make one a patsy for the other narratives we're asked to make real social, economic, and political decisions on.
Where it starts from is throwing out facts that don't fit your preconceptions.
If you like pissing down your leg and pretending that it's raining, I'm not about to stop you, but don't come near me.

Chapter 164 (redrawn version) Expert Review™️
It’s been a hot minute! I’m in the middle of a heated custody battle with Cain over our 37 kids and Pokémon card collection and that’s kinda been weighing on me a bit so I didn’t have the energy to write these.
Anyways, I did write a review for the first version of 164 but then ONE ran into Murata’s office screaming “ERASE THAT SHIT!!!” so I deleted it and here we are. I hope Murata doesn’t upload another chapter before I post this otherwise I’m gonna have a real fucking shit-my-pants meltdown. Like some real fucking episodic type shit.
I’m gonna get started before I need to call one of my emergency contacts.
Oh dude ooooh dude Garou is so starved for affection and appreciation that getting just a crumb of it was almost enough to make him abandon everything oooooh dude it almost makes me wanna hug him but then I just think about the time he stole my Capital One Platinum Credit Card and those evil thoughts go away.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Um um um something something African proverb: “A child not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.”
Really fucking hamfisting it here, like—Garou’s entire rampage from Silverfang’s dojo since day one has been him screaming “I want to be accepted, I want to be loved” and his jealousy towards the heroes for garnering that acceptance and love… after getting just a tiny bit of what they get, it was almost enough for him to figure out what he really wants. But of course, he’s still angry. So he’ll keep fighting. Keep trying to bring the world into despair, not knowing that it won’t make him feel any better.
I’m sure if he were given time to cool down, he would find that he’s just looking for affection. I’m guessing that’s what they were going for before they SCRAPPED the Saitama sit-down arc. Saitama was probably gonna talk him down, give him what he wants, tell him what he really is, and Garou would slowly crumble back to being human instead of being punched back into one. Or he’d get pissed, flip the table, and a social worker would have to intervene. We’ll never know!
And I mean, I’ve seen some criticism of that before the redraws—people saying it’s too OOC of Saitama to wanna sit down and talk to Garou and I mean… kinda? It’s not like Saitama’s never been selfless before. Sure, he’s not Superman-levels of patience, but he’s been really kind! Giving the credit to the other heroes for defeating DSK, letting that kid keep his cash after the hero costume fashion show contest super bonanza whatever, saving that one dude from suicide with his gay little chopsticks…. I don’t think it was too hard to believe that he’d also want to help Garou.
GO GO GADGET ASS JETS!!!!
Tumblr media
Ok I know they’re not coming out of his ass but that would be really funny—AND ALSO…. WHAT’S MURATA’S WHOLE DEAL WITH DRAWING MOTHERFUCKERS TRANSFORMING INTO JETS AND SHIT???? I’m not engineer but that doesn’t seem super realistic (I say as I’m reading a comic book full of superheroes and women who never complain about back pain despite having tits the size of Wyoming).
It was really stupid when Psykorochi did it and it’s a little less stupid now because at least we got the whole mountain-smashing attack or whatever thing (I’m not gonna go back and look at the name because it was probably really gay) so WHATEVER I guess but it doesn’t make a ton of sense okay SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF OR WHATEVER IDK ugh I feel like a greasy nerd complaining at comic-con when I’m really just a greasy nerd complaining in my bedroom.
Speaking about the aforementioned mountain attack (or whatever), Murata really removed the big titty elf woman and my sweet cheese my good time boey Boros 2.0 (AKA Murata’s ripoff of my sweet Xanados), so thats kinda a bummer. But I’m sure they’ll probably crop up later? Maybe? Please? I’m so upset about this LMAO
Tumblr media
And “dimensional seal”? I assume that’s to keep “that bastard” in, yes? Perhaps in some sort of space jail? Could they be referring to this thing?
Tumblr media
Which, I mean… it’s probably God. It looks like God… it’s really big like God…. and it would make sense that Blast and his Justice League would be really concerned about this seeing as though stopping God from committing fuckery is their whole deal (and also the fact Blast just “happened” to appear once Saitama poked a small peephole into this Thing’s jail cell)… but if that’s God and he’s been imprisoned in someone’s basement this whole time, then who the fuck has been fucking with Homeless Emperor and getting jiggly with it on the moon? Or, is this a sorta “awake and dreaming” situation where the God everyone has been seeing is just a projection by this Thing and he won’t reach his true power™️ until he breaks through the aforementioned “dimensional seal?” I’m super confused dawg! None of this shit was in the Bible!
Also this whole thing seems kinda sacrilegious but I’m not enough of a Christian to care lmao hell yeah I’d love to see Saitama clock this dude. If OPM gets a sequel then he should fight Jesus next.
Like 90% of this shit happened because God has one-sided beef with Saitama and everyone else just keeps getting in the middle of it with their Main Character Syndrome and I think that’s the funniest shit ever.
Tumblr media
Lmao God is so fucking pissed at Saitama for breaking the rules (or just his limiter I guess) and becoming too powerful so now he’s brewing up all these fake ass haters in hopes they’ll be able to stop Sai. This is toooooo funny. I love the idea of God as central antagonist to OPM; that’s both hilarious and terrifying at the same time because there’s only one person capable of going up against him. Is that where this is going? Is that gonna be the Climactic End to this series way down the line? Saitama fights God? Because I mean… there is realistically no other being in the universe capable of giving Sai the thrill of a fight anymore. He has to fight God at this point. He’s already at the top of the mountain, the only thing left to do is reach for the heavens.
And I was wondering why God doesn’t just bloop Saitama out of existence or get down there and fight him himself since he hates his dog ass so goddamn much and I suppose that rounds us back to him not being at full power due to his imprisonment in the Dimensional Seal (which is basically just the phantom zone). This is all speculative, by the way. I’m not allowed to talk to Murata anymore.
Anyways, Sage Centipede, Evil Natural Ocean, and possibly even Psykorochi and Homeless Emperor were all sent by God to take out Saitama’s broke ass by proxy and if you don’t think that’s the silliest shit ever then idk what to tell you. I love it though. It makes perfect sense.
Now Garou is one of God’s artificially created Saitama Haters and he looks kinda cool I guess idk. Boy’s got mad hips for a celestial being I’ll tell you what.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
OOOOOOUUGGGHHH I HATE GOD’S DOG ASS FOR PLAYING WITH GAROU LIKE THIS!!! BOY IF YOU DONT GO STICK YOUR HEAD IN A SEWAGE DRAIN PIPE RIGHT NAAAOOOOWWW!!!!!!
Multiple things to be said about this:
1. By Biblical standards, Garou is now considered a prophet.
2. I am aware this may not be Thee Abrahamic God™️ from the Bible but it’s really funny to think so and I’m gonna keep making jokes about it.
3. By Biblical standards, Garou is now also considered to be heavily concussed and dying from internal bleeding.
4. Even while Garou is Biblically concussed and witnessing A Religious Event, he still wants to beat God’s ass.
5. God ignores Garou wanting to beat his ass, which is hilarious. “I know you’re going through a lot right now so I’m gonna ignore you said that… take my hand and beat that bald dude’s ass for me.”
6. Garou wants so badly for Silverfang to be proud of him that he willfully takes “his” hand in this severe moment of weakness. Reminds me of Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda (okay, everything about Garou reminds me about my boy TL because their stories are so similar) where, in his final fight against Master Shifu, Tai says “everything I did was to make you proud.” And when Shifu gives him an ounce of adoration, he wavers for a minute. KIND OF LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE WE KNOW…. OOUUUGGHH
7. God is a bitchass motherfucker for exploiting this and he better keep his doors locked tonight.
Edit: food for thought… what’s gonna happen when God takes his power back? I mean, we know Garou’s not gonna die or anything but like… oooooh spookyyyy. Oh shit. What if Garou does die lmao
In conclusion: GARFIELD, ARE YOU /J OR /SRS!?!?!!?!?!?!!?!?
Tumblr media
In conclusion part 2: still peeved we lost the comedy gold of the Saitama sit-down arc and my legal grounds to sue Murata for stealing my OC (this is a joke please), but I do think overall this works a bit better. The Monster Association Arc has largely been drawn out way too long and I kinda just want it to end but I’m sure a lot of the pacing issues will be ironed out in print. And if they aren’t, fuck it! I’ll violate my probation and fly to Japan to stick ONE’s nose in it (this is also a joke please). Have a good weekend. It’s Pride month, by the way. You’re gay.

Have you thought about doing other stories within the universe of your Tumbling Down story? Like how Mumen and Sonic or Badd and Garou got together? Tumbling Down was Saitama and Genos' story but the bits given about the other two couples made me want more. Like what was the stuff Sonic was dealing with that Saitama mentioned not to mention a good boy like Mumen finding good in Sonic. Or what Badd and Garou saw in eachother when their both hotheads, did Zenko play winggirl for her brother?
OKAY SO
if I spent any amount of time on them, I tried to figure out a little bit of the characters' backstory. I don't know that I'd write them--I sort of like having them be just bits in the background, and it's tough to make such a longterm thing with ships that I like but I'm not as invested in--BUT
I can at least explain how it happened XD Mumen, Sonic, Badd, and Garou's stories under the cut <3<3
Mumen was still with his fiance May when TD started. His running into Sonic in "Window Shopping" was when they first met, and when Saitama said that Sonic wasn't causing trouble so long as he was with them, Mumen really took that to heart. He started tailing Sonic for as long as he could to stop him from stealing anything or hurting anyone. Sonic was PISSED at first, but it turned into just another thing he had to deal with...until Mumen followed him "home" and realized the ninja was living in whatever empty spaces he could. Sonic hated him knowing about that part of his life, but Mumen was horrified. It became a new part of his self-appointed mission--bringing food, water, sheets, etc., in hopes that if Sonic was more comfortable, maybe he wouldn't be desperate enough to do such awful things to get by.
Of course this is eating up a lot of his time, and while May's used to him being out a lot of the time, he's even more distant than usual. Not mean, but distracted. He's mentioned Sonic and she's getting suspicious, especially when he's running off at all hours to try and help him. She doesn't think he's cheating, at least not at first--he's way too honest for that--but then he comes home one day with a very different vibe and they need to have a talk.
It was after he nearly stayed the night with Sonic because he was real fuckin' sick. Mumen (very belatedly, honestly) realized that not only did he not mind taking care of him, he was excited to get to spend more time with him, in a way that had gone beyond what a good Samaritan or even a friend would do. He thought Sonic was funny and charming and passionate and weirdly innocent in his own outlandish way, and he wanted more of that. He *understood *it...and it was something he couldn't ever share with May. Mumen was attracted to him too, and Sonic seemed like he reciprocated (with the added danger that he didn't give two shits about Mumen already being engaged if it seemed like his heart wasn't in that relationship anymore). However Mumen is a Very Good Boy and he *wouldn't *cheat, so he needed to talk things over with May first before they did anything.
After a bit they realized they were more getting married because that was what they were supposed to do rather than what they truly wanted. While they did care about each other a lot, it wasn't in a romantic way. They split (I think Mumen left her the apartment), and Mumen told Sonic to move in with him when he found a new place. Around then was when Sonic started to seriously rethink his lifestyle. Being with Mumen in a stable home, taking care of and being taken care of by someone you really loved, having the opportunity to fall into a deep sleep without worrying that you're going to be found out or attacked.... It was all way too much and too tempting for him, and he decided he wanted to change. And that was pretty much it for them. Low and slow, with a bit of a dramatic start ;;;
Badd and Garou just follow the fucking trajectory set up for them in the manga honestly XD I mean they've already got chemistry up the fucking waZOO. They're already fully together when TD starts. For how they fell into it, though, I think they run into each other and fight, or one of them seeks the other out, and both of them being who they are don't care much about their pasts as long as they aren't shitty now. I think they might've had a full on fighting-to-fucking moment (or close to it). After that it was a puppy love ordeal where neither of them had dated before and they didn't know how to conduct themselves. Maybe they tried in vain to go about dating in the traditional way, only to realize neither of them had the patience for it and they'd much rather just violently fuck before getting a pizza. Truly boys being boys but like. In the sweet way XD
Zenko does get pissed off and tries to help, but they're kinda lost causes. She gets another big brother, though, and Badd--for fucking ONCE--is smiling more than he's frowning, so she's honestly ecstatic. She's SO HAPPY her brother found someone who makes him look that excited to come home from work every day that isn't just her and their cat.
Badd and Garou get a lot more flack for their relationship from the HA than any other couple, though, because Garou wreaked so much havoc so publicly for so long. It's impossible to frame their relationship in a way that won't reflect really poorly on the association. Amai is convinced if they're too open about it, it's going to look like the HA set up Garou's mission or that not even the S-class care that much about keeping the world safe from monsters, and they're gonna start to lose donations for a fund that's already not really cutting it. He's a lot harsher on them than anyone else. They're pissed but it doesn't really stop them. Garou lives with them, after all--no matter what Badd's coming home to him at the end of the night, and in the morning the whole family's gonna wander bleary-eyed into the kitchen for breakfast (kitty included).

Cute shit you got going on with your OPM scenario! I enjoyed reading that! Mind if I request a Saitama, Genos, and a Garou with an Older Sibling! S/O that always has their kid siblings at their heels? Talking like a couple few, they babysit sometimes overnights, or take them out to places. Fluffy shit. Thanks so much!!! Keep up the good work!
hi !
thank you soo much for reading my opm headcanons, glad you appreciate it ! thank for your praises also, i got a big smile by reading this :)
hope you enjoy !
One Punch Man characters with an Older Sibling!S/O that constantly have their little siblings at their heels.
With : Saitama, Genos, Garou.
(Warning : No one, just fluff.)
Saitama
Tumblr media
This man is very admirating of your patience. How could you spent almost all your time with your little siblings ?
For someone like him who spent most of his time alone playing games or reading magazines, at least before meeting Genos, he isn't used to this.
You probably introduce him to all of your siblings since that is literally inevitable. Like, they're always at your heels, how could they not know that you have someone in your life ?
Don't tell me he actually would remind all their names. Like, he could literally call one of your siblings a name of food or even mix their names, like calling one of your siblings the name of one of his brother/sister.
Find them funny though. He would gladly play with them and help you to keep them up. I can see him having a good complicity with kids, for real.
His heart warmed everytime he see you smiling because of them. He know that they're your world, like literally, and he would protect them with his life if needed. Baldy just want your happiness.
Sometimes, when observing you taking care of your siblings, like playing with them, babysit them, or whatever, he wish he had a younger sibling. He wish he had that relationship with someone close to him.
So, to balance this feeling, he try to be very close with your siblings.
If someone try to hurt them, or worse, you, on God this person will not have the occasion to do it anymore.
(Manga spoil) See how was he pissed when Cosmic Garou "killed" Genos ? Yeah, he would be pissed like this. Or at least something close.
Saitama is a big brother figure to your siblings, and you both couldn't be more happy. You, because he has a very close bond with your siblings, and him because he finally feel the privilege of having siblings. That make both of you even closer, he would gladly hug you with a big smile on his face.
Everytime you're all going out, he goes with you too, probably even Genos or King.
Genos
Tumblr media
At first, he was amazed of how big your family was. He literally lost the count of your number.
When you first told him you had lots of siblings, he thought or probably 2 or 3 ? God. He wasn't prepared to this.
Always there to help you. Everytime your siblings jump onto you to hugging you, he would smile warmly and look at you, discretly demanding you if you need help with them.
If you say yes, he's the first to fulfill your request.
Would take some food everytime he knows your siblings will be here. Crisps, lollipops, Haribo, sugar... This man is prepared. He has this habit after all.
Either you basically live in his Saitama's house or the opposite, with all your little sunshines. Speaking of Saitama, he would probably following Genos when he heard your siblings would be here. As i said before, Saitama have a good complicity with childs.
Genos bought a lot of games for your siblings, he wants to make sure they feel comfortable around him and that they never lack of activities.
When you're not available to keep an eye on them, you can obviously count on Genos. He would gladly play with them, make sure they eat and drink properly, offer them icecream, would watch TV with them... And obviously text you to keep you informed. Would probably call you to talk a little and then let your siblings talk to you. Smile everytime that happens.
Like Saitama, he would propose himself to tell them stories at night to make them sleepy. Once they're all asleep and he's sure of this, he quietly leave the room and make his path to you.
You are very thankful of his attention to your siblings, you often show him this by kissing him on the cheek or pulling him into a hug.
If some of your siblings can't sleep "alone", he would invite them to sleep with the both of you.
Garou
Tumblr media
Garou. The strongest monster.
He absolutely hate kids, so at first, he was reluctant about meeting them. But since it's yours, he put effort into it.
Not much though.
Not as affectionate as Saitama and Genos. Not an affectionate person in general, so he keep this to the bare minimum.
He would usually just watch you taking care of them, telling them stories, feeding them... This type of things.
If you ask for help, he would help you. But don't expect him to be as sweet as the both before. He isn't rude, of course, but not sweet at all. I guess he don't care to hurt them.
After all, how could human grow up without knowing pain ?
Manipulative. But not the toxic type.
What i mean by manipulative is that, he will make sure to taught your siblings about his moral : A hero is the representation of injustice, they always win because they're "the good people".
And he's right. Why would a hero always win ? Because of the "justice" ? Those pretty words mean nothing but injustice to Garou, and he would be sure that your kids understand that too.
And that really annoy you sometimes. It's not because he thinks this that your siblings have to too.
I'm sorry Anon, but i personally don't see Garou would be gentle towards his S/O's siblings. I knew you want fluff and these type of things, but i just can't see Garou loving kids.
hope you enjoyed despite garou's ones.

What hero name you think Garou is getting?
My bet is something that he would get absolutely piss off on, like:
SILVER FANG JR
RAGING TEENAGER
Or something like that.
Noooo~ plus he's not staying an older teen for long, so anything referencing that will become obsolete real quick~ If he doesn't just directly inherit Bang's hero name (which is practical), then some other unique modifier or derivative of it to mark his own individuality - like White Fang, Silver Wolf, etc (referencing his 'wolf' theme) could be most appropriate. (Also imagine he comes in newly reintroducing himself with the shorter haircut, like on ONE's 2016 pop poll, looking like a direct younger clone of Bang, aaa~) Meanwhile Tareo's already chosen 'Garou-Man' for him, ahaha.
But IF the HA gives him something unfortunate, then he'd ironically have that much more solidarity to join in protest with Saitama's Hero Names Victim Association plot later. :P If that's where the plot's going for Garou too, but I imagine Garou's...reception (beyond setting off any HA scandals/controversies) is bound to be something completely different/opposite from Saitama's experiences with the HA, perhaps.
