⭐️ Half-hearted “theory”/wishful thinking and musing on Law, Doflamingo, Rosinante, and the “man marked by flames”. ⭐️

POTENTIAL SPOILER WARNING for the end of Wano (but not really bc my Wano knowledge as a whole is lacking. But I mention one scene at the end of it and give a vibe nod to Egghead/current events without any details. Read more-ing it from here because it’s a longish post in general and somewhat crack in nature.

I’ve been screaming with @clownquixote and have screamed at @climatact about this before but since I’m feeling unapologetically myself in my ridiculousness today I’m going to share a far-fetched “it would never happen but I self indulgently WANT it to happen so let me find this little stretch of a thread to tug on” hope/theory. (On the AMAZINGLY UNLIKELY chance that this happens I’m putting it out there right now and if it defies all the odds and comes true I demand of the universe the equivalent of Law’s bounty in… idk, something dumb like chocolate mints or bread bc as much as I love Law this chick cannot relate to the bread hate.)

But anyway- after all Law has been through in his life and series as a whole, even though YES I know his death was important to his story and character growth, I think he deserves and I would not be mad to see a plot twist in which Rosinante lived. I feel like Sabo’s reappearance came out of left field when it happened and has been widely accepted so I don’t think it’s THAT much of a stretch and if it can happen once it can happen again. The stretch of a thread I’m picking at in my self-indulgent desire to see this happen? The tiny and (I think) thus far unexplained references to the man marked by flames? When Kid says something about that mystery figure being his objective there’s a single panel -that I of course do not have saved. Will find and rb later- where it shifts to Law and he has this vaguely interested/curious look on his face. And yes, Law is curious by nature and that could and probably doesn’t mean anything.

And you would think with a cool tagline like that it would be some really important, powerful, badass character in the making but. What if it’s actually just a clumsy clown of a character prone to setting himself on fire?

I’m thinking a lot on this today because I was revisiting Law & Rosinante backstory episodes in preparation for writing kid!Law for the first time (yay!) but I jumped to episode 700 and decided to watch the entire thing instead of jumping to the actual flashbacks of Law’s childhood. The first few minutes are Law vs. Doflamingo with the latter ranting about the hidden secret use of the Ope Ope no Mi and him stating that if he’d had access to its abilities then, he would have been able to get his hands on whatever he knows is hidden at Mariejois. I have long suspected we (the fandom and poor Law) aren’t done with Creepy Mingo yet, and I won’t really get into current arc stuff because I’ve mentally checked out on it in light of some of the recent events so I’m not well-informed enough to pick it apart just yet. But I do think that bit of info, Doflamingo, and Law are going to come into play again in regards to that conversation some 300+ episodes ago. Since I didn’t claim this would be a fully fleshed out theory I don’t have much more to offer plausibility/possibility-wise yet but I am JUST SAYING Law has been through so much, Doflamingo will end up back in the fray, and I could 100% see a Rosinante that survived and has been laying low on the sidelines for his own various reasons showing up to interfere with his brother and save Law or at least finally give him some much needed light/good news/happiness in his life.

So the tl;dr highlights that I noncommittally hope but don’t really expect will happen (I’m cashing in if I’m right though okay): Doflamingo essential to whatever’s going down, Law still has some stuff to go through and will get roped into this presumably against his will, Rosinante survived and is the “man marked by flames” and will show up to help and/or protect Law. I make no apologies for wishful thinking or for not coming with receipts/all the lore knowledge I need to further explore it yet. I just wanted to get it on the record and scream about how much I want good things for Law.

Okay thanks for reading my silly rambly nonsense that I hope will come true if you did. 🙃 you can pick it apart if you want but keep in mind I make no secret my overall lore knowledge is not the best, or you can scream about it with me if you like it too.

UPDATE: I FOUND IT. (Ch. 1056. I feel like I brought receipts now even though this really established nothing. But like, why that face, Law? It seems INTERESTING. Where’d your thoughts go? Foreshadowing? Does he know something? Do flames just make him think of someone setting their clumsy self on fire all the time? Sus enough for me.)

#♡ // ooc ;#[but kind of law relevant]#[and 100% something I would play with in threads.]#[and like I said I’m largely ignoring egghead so if this has already been derailed just let me dream]

Thank u for rb-ing the ask game. Here are 5000 asks: ♥️, 🎁 , 👓, 💕, 🍬, and 💌. These are just for you to keep: 💖💓💓♥️💞💕💘💞💘💗❤️💘💘♥️💖💓💖❤️💖💞💓💞💖💗

So many things here should I even answer this in one big thing....

This one is getting it's own post I have too much to say for it but the short answer is "[sound here] sounded like rocks hitting a wall" if you actually read my work you should know this one it's my calling card at this point.

It gets long after this sorry guys

2. This one isn't anything you'd like, a shame I just sent it to you but here's a little piece of the most recent WIP I have as of (checks watch) 3 hours ago. BG3 WIP Title pending.

The woman walks out with her tail between her legs, literally, and Alabaster watches the door close soundlessly behind her as if commanded. The silence between them sits for a moment a second or two before Alabaster speaks. “She's pretty. You might have a type though.” “What are you doing here?” She didn’t think a sleep-ruffled Astarion would be the one she’d be interacting with when she decided to pay a visit today, but the sight is pleasing all the same. His hair is as white as it’s ever been, only a touch longer. She isn’t sure if actual vampires are capable of being surprised (something something the alertness of darkness or something) but the expression on Asraion’s face was what she would coin as ‘your lover coming home to see you with your mistress' . “You missed me?” He asks. It doesn’t come out like a question, as breathy as it sounds. “I missed you” She responds. She rolls her shoulders, getting ready for the dance that is talking to Astarion. “I also need your help.” “You came back because you need me?” There's a sharp smile slowly making it’s way onto his face, laughlines bending to build the expression. He’s sitting up, moving to reach her height. She nods, pulling at the tightly wound strings in his chest, plucking absently. “I need you.” She responds. Talking to him feels like playing an instrument you haven't touched in a long time, slowly allowing muscle memory to take over so the music can once again be moved by your masterful hands. He smiles full now, as if realizing something she doesn’t know, and she’s reminded that you never really forget how to tune an instrument.

3. What helps me focus when I write... booty shaking music for throwing ass OR hating whatever is happening around me. no in-between.

4. This is a really hard question because if we mean like, emotionally? I could cop out and give a three way tie between Complimentary Soap (it isn't good I'm just nostalgic), Nintendo Direct (Circa June 2021) (it is good and I'm nostalgic) and Like A Brick In The Wall (good and new but god it's chaptered.) But, right now I'm gonna say my most recent fic I posted Going Home; All Over Again. I really love it even tho no one will ever read it (save you). The curse of rare pairs.

5. Okay another long one let's go. I'm only counting things with multiple pics posted...

HADES -

I Missed You Terribly And Like A Dream— You Appeared, Smiling At Me, Just So

Most of my stuff from here isn't good anymore, and while there's another that's more self indulgent and scratches the itch inside my body that aches dully for more Hypnos content at all times, this one reads the best rn. So it win.

HAIKYUU-

Tequilas, Margaritas and Seawater

everything in this fandom is old and arguably bad so nostalgia points carry weight here. This. one was a gift and idk why but it reads amazingly. holds up still

FE3H -

Like A Brick In The Wall

All fe fics are the DEVIL because of any in this list I CARE about these the most no competition. Anyway. This fic didn't win the previous bracket of my fav fic ever but it is my fav in the tag. Don't ask me to explain. I'm sorry.

CSM -

I Squint Out My Peripheral, Peaking Through My Fingers To See You

I don't work here man... I hate this goddamn pic its so good.

DRV3-

Nintendo Direct (Circa June 2021)

She's gonna do it every time... V3 hospital au I lOVE you.

(Listing out my written fandoms like this is the saddest thing ever my GOD I'm cringey)

6. I feel like the tropes I love most I never write myself... it's honestly kinda fandom specific but across the board...? Royalty au. not regency but kinda. A little to the left.

#the funnies #there's so many fandom here I'm not tagging it #read my pics and comment #fanfiction #read it do it #plwease

You should listen to...

The Penumbra Podcast...

Okay, so I have this whole sideblog at @gentlysociallypinned and when I made it this main blog was almost entirely YOI and I was getting really into a bunch of podcasts/web content so it made sense. It’s where I have posted The Adventure Zone stuff (almost only reblogging art), my Penumbra thoughts on episodes and my Penumbra fic, and when I was HEAVILY into Critical Role for those few months two years ago, it was mostly that.

These days it’s mostly DEAD, but I’m still actively a fan of TAZ and TPP and am going to just bring them over to join the multifandom shitshow this main blog has become since it transitioned from YOI to The Magicians to MDZS mostly. Whatever, this blog is Shit I Like Right Now.

So I’m going to occasionally be posting and rb-ing TPP stuff. And since I’ve kept that fandom so much off this blog, I feel like maybe a lot of folks who follow me here might not be aware of it. Especially if you’re not in any other podcast fandoms. (Because all podcast fandoms are ultimately one, and NO I have not listened to Magnus yet. Big RQG fan, though.)

ANYWAY, so consider this my VERY LONGWINDED (ALREADY OMG IT’S 5AM WHY?) intro post about The Penumbra Podcast and why you should listen to it.

It’s Queer. The End.

Ha. But no, really, it is. Very. Queer. The mission statement of Penumbra is to tell tropey genre stories but Very Queer.

So there are two main fictional universes/storylines that currently make up TPP (at the very beginning of S1 there were one-off episodes but those stopped pretty quickly.) The main one, the one that starts at episode 1, and that most people think of when they think TPP is the Juno Steel series. Juno Steel is a noir private investigator who lives many centuries in some nebulous future. On Mars. It’s very light, pulpy sci-fi, totally uninterested in explaining its sci-fi-ness. But it’s also set in a world without our current understandings of gender and sexual categories. I.e. everyone is just very casually queer and it’s not talked about. Juno himself is NB and bisexual, though those words are not used in-universe. The master thief who becomes his potential love interest is an homme fatale. People are trans and NB without it being a Thing worth commenting on. It’s...lovely.

(Above: Official art by Mikaela Buckley.)

It’s also very noir. Juno is a broken, broken lady at the start of the series, for reasons that very slowly come to light over the course of two seasons. The end of the first season was enough of a downer to make me literally cry myself to sleep for three nights straight the first time I listened to it. (At which point I wrote fix-it fic because I was COMPELLED.) The series, while often silly in the episode to episode mystery plots, also touches on extremely difficult and dark subject matter like drug and alcohol abuse, childhood abuse, mental illness, suicide, etc. So I feel like I HAVE to put that out there. All episodes have trigger warnings in the description and you should read and mind them if needed. Some episodes can fucking WRECK you, in frequently utterly brilliant ways, but still, be mindful. Ultimately, I will say there is light at the end of the tunnel (though the series is ongoing in the third season atm) but it’s a long, painful road to get there. But JESUS CHRIST I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a narrative about a mentally ill and victimized character actually working through their shit in real-time in this way. While also being a show with a hyperintelligent car that communicates in beeps and whistles, and giant killer rabbits that live in the sewers.

The second ongoing universe is The Second Citadel. This one comes in part way through the first season. It’s set in an Arthurian-style fantasy universe, but one set in a jungle with all POC characters. The first few episodes all focus on different characters within the same world, most Knights of the Second Citadel, mostly ones that somehow have broken the stereotype of the usual knight. (There’s a female knight, a physically disabled prospective knight, etc.) The first few episodes aren’t that popular and are a little weak, but eventually it all comes together, right around the time that Sir Damien, his fiancee Rilla, and Lord Arum the anthropomorphic lizard monster are introduced as one of the strangest and most instantly charming love triangles ever.

This is where I started getting actually more invested in Second Citadel than Juno Steel. Because star-crossed queer love between a knight who kills monsters and one of those monsters and the scientist/doctor girlfriend who ends up also developing feelings for The Lizard....yeah. It’s Everything, y’all. I love all three people in this ship SO VERY MUCH. I even play one of them as a DnD character (Lord Arum. He’s a Dragonborn Fey Sorlock. ) Sir Damien the knight-poet with terrible anxiety, Lord Arum who desperately doesn’t want to admit to having Actual Feelings for a Human, much less Two Humans!! Fencing while developing Queer Lust! Rilla the scientist who doesn’t know why she has to have fallen for not ONE SILLY BOY but TWO?!

This series is much lighter in tone than Juno, so it’s a nice balance.

So anyway, the show is really filled with excellent writing and fantastic characters. The acting is also generally Very Good, but that’s more true the longer it goes on. Some of the actors are INSANELY good. But it’s not without its faults, especially towards the beginning of the show. In particular, the sound editing/design isn’t very friendly to the ears, especially if you’re sensitive to loud sound effects and like...blaring alarms and stuff. If it bothers you I recommend not using headphones and/or listening via an app/device that lets you adjust levels. It’s literally the one flaw that still annoys me with the show, though it’s gotten better.

So if you’re looking for a new fandom, or something to listen to in these trying times, something fun but also REAL, tropey and sincere...check it out.

And also I have six fics in the fandom, in case you didn’t know that. I feel like I could always just spontaneously produce more TPP fic at any time, too.
