Full moon - Werewolf Shanks
Tumblr media
You sailed aboard the Red Force under the black flag of the red-haired pirates for a little over half a year.
During that time, you had a chance to notice Shanks regularly locking himself in his cabin once a month like clockwork. Or when you were on land, he would disappear and only come back in the morning.
You let it go. Everyone had the right to their privacy and most importantly it didn't affect your relationship in any particular way... Maybe just a little when he pushed you away with various excuses in those days.
You were sailing the sea and there was no land in sight. You saw the captain getting more and more nervous by the day. He tried to be his classic self, but you noticed the little details that gave him away.
You tried to distract him and cheer him up a bit, but it didn't help much. Of course, he appreciated your effort, and he smiled, but there was still that unusual nervousness.
However, it disappeared the same afternoon when a new island finally came into view. You saw on him how the stone fell from his heart.
You only reached the island in the evening, when it was slowly getting dark. Shanks decided to go look for supplies while the others stayed on the ship. The ban on leaving the ship applied mainly to you.
You protested that you wanted to go too, but Shanks stood by the fact that the island was too dangerous for you. Ultimately, you had to promise him that you would stay on the ship.
As a reward, he kissed you on the lips before leaving and promised to make it up to you the next day. And with that, he left the ship. Leaning on the railing, you watched him disappear into the forest.
After some time you just went for a walk around the deck when you noticed the others watching you warily. Some hid it well, but others completely turned around and were quite noticeable.
Something was wrong. But you didn't want to ask right away. Instead, you went to the study room to look at the maps. You pulled out a few books and the right maps and started searching.
After some time you finally found the proof you needed. This island was not dangerous at all. Exactly opposite. There was no danger at all.
There was no population and no dangerous predators. Now you were even more curious about why he lied to you.
You first decided to find out from the crew members who knew more than you. But no one was going to tell you anything.
Only Benn then told you that it was the captain's secret and it wasn't his place to tell you. That only made you more angry, but you knew it wasn't worth arguing about.
Defeated, you returned to your cabin. But that didn't mean you were giving up. You just needed to come up with a plan.
You finally managed to slip out the window in your cabin undetected. You made it to the island and made your way to the forest where you had seen the captain go before.
A lot of time had passed when Yasopp came to you saying that Lucky Roux had prepared dinner. However, when you didn't answer, he peeked into your cabin and noticed the open window and your absence.
He immediately went to inform Benn and Lucky, who were supposed to keep an eye on you during Shanks' absence. It wasn't difficult to connect one and one and they immediately set out to find you on the island before something happened to you and it was too late.
You wandered through the forest and the only light was the moon. There was a full moon and not a cloud in the sky. You could even see the stars through the treetops. You called out to Shanks, but the only answer was your echo. Even so, you kept going and kept calling out to him, hoping to find him.
You stopped in your tracks as a wolf howl echoed through the forest. It caught you by surprise because according to all the books, back wolves weren't supposed to be here. No wolves, bears, lynxes and generally no predators.
You realized too late that you didn't even bring any weapons with you. You relied on books that never betrayed you, that there was no danger to be found here.
However, you weren't going to just come back empty-handed, so you moved on. You reached the edge of the forest, from where you had a view of a vast meadow where a doe and several deer were grazing.
You watched them there for a while when you noticed a large wolf-like figure in the distance. The wolf was standing on its hind legs and was missing one of its front paws. 
You hid behind the nearest bush and watched from there as the wolf got close enough to go unnoticed behind the doe before running after them.
The herd immediately fled, but it was too late to save everyone. The wolf managed to pull the largest deer to the ground and bite through its throat. Once the deer was dead, he set about feasting.
The wolf was thus in the middle of the meadow. You decided not to disturb him in his dinner and instead wanted to go around the meadow and continue your search.
As you walked on, your eyes kept sliding to the wolf. But that was your biggest mistake because you didn't notice the protruding root and you tripped. You stumbled and fell on your chin into the bush in front of you.
The wolf also heard this noise and immediately looked up from his dinner. He breezed through the air and heard the twigs crack beneath you as you struggled to get out of the bush.
As soon as you scrambled to your feet, you ran away. You only had to see the wolf coming towards you out of the corner of your eye. If he jumps on you like that deer, it will be the end of you.
You meandered through the trees like a rabbit, slowly losing the lead you had. Moreover, the forest slowly ended in front of you and before you knew it, you found yourself in a small clearing. It was only a matter of time before he knocked you to the ground.
You screamed as the werewolf jumped on you and braced yourself for the worst. Now you regretted disobeying the captain's order.
When you fell, you rolled and now you were facing the wolf. No, you faced the werewolf. At the same time, he scratched your ribs during your fall and was now pressing you to the ground with one paw. He was leaning over you with bared teeth.
You had his muzzle so close that you could see his golden eyes and the three familiar scars above his left eye. However, you focused more on his teeth, as they were the closest to you and the biggest threat.
You finally closed your eyes and tilted your head to the side. You didn't need to see everything before your end. You felt his wet nose on your cheek. You didn't understand what was happening, but you still had your eyes closed.
The werewolf stopped growling and you felt him run his snout over your face, sniffing you. You opened your eyes when you felt his wet tongue on your cheek.
You didn't understand what was happening. He nuzzled your face and you saw him wagging his tail. You carefully pulled his muzzle aside with your hand and he started licking it.
Then he looked at you with his mouth hanging open and his tongue lolling out. He looked much happier. He had a sort of smile on his face. You caressed his cheek and now noticed the red fur that at first appeared to be dark brown.
You recognised your captain in him and slowly his behaviour began to make sense to you. Why was he always locking himself up or walking away.
“I'll get back to the ship,” you said resignedly after a moment of scratching his ear long enough. 
You were about to head back to the ship when Shanks grabbed the hem of your shirt with his teeth and refused to let go. He slowly started pulling you back towards the meadow.
"I'm not sure…" you already broke his order like this. Besides, now that you knew the truth, you weren't worried about him. Shanks only huffed at you and rolled his eyes as he dragged you on.
Finally, you followed him back to the meadow, to the deer carcass. Shanks pounced on the deer and you sat a little further away. You didn't need to see everything. Even though you noticed how he chewed, he kept looking at you.
When he finally finished he licked himself contentedly and laid down right next to you before resting his head in your lap. You scratched his head and slowly leaned against him. His fur was as soft as hair. As the night wore on, your eyelids drooped and before you knew it, you were asleep.
You woke up in your bed in the morning. You sleepily sat up and wondered if it was all just a dream. You uncovered yourself when you noticed you were covered by Shanks's coat.
You were about to stretch when pain shot through your ribs. You grabbed the sore spot and noticed that your ribs were bandaged. This was evidence that last night truly happened.
When you came on board, everything was as before. Everyone was having a good time and laughing. 
Later, the captain invited you to his cabin. Shanks wanted to make sure you were okay but then reprimanded you for disobeying his order. You defended yourself by saying that nothing happened to you.
However, he explained to you that that was not the point. It was dangerous. He was dangerous. He could have killed you. But even that didn't deter you. 
Nevertheless, he admitted to you that he tolerated this transformation much better. Mostly he had negative memories of it, but this time it wasn't so bad.
That was also the reason why he forgave you. He pulled you closer to him and leaned so close he almost kissed you. You were already expecting his lips on yours when he told you that you would be receiving a private punishment that evening.

One of the most iconic BTS images from The Howling was for a prop never used in the final film! Bottin had a lot of woes when trying to decide how the final film's werewolves would be realized as, deciding to opt out of the 'man in a suit' method.
It was decided werewolves would be realized as a rod puppet, similar to those in Japanese theatre. The eight feet tall puppet was designed and constructed by Jeff Shank (along with Steve Shank), and impressed Dante and Bottin; the puppet had a clearly wolf-like frame, rather than clearly being an actor in a suit.
However, the rod puppet eventually was rejected due to being unable to walk (Dante wanted the werewolves to be seen walking) and also having potential problems they weren't sure they could sort out before finishing, meaning it was never used in the final film. Bottin wished to have another puppet built for close-ups, but this was shot down by Shank and Dante. The final film would have a return to the 'man in suit' method.

So the past few days I've been wanting some OP Werewolf and there not many on A03, so that got me thinking what I would want.
I keep thinking either Poly with Ace and Marco or Shank and Beckman, or have a Reverse Harem, (I like older men in op, and then there Ace).
Ace is a black wolf, Marco is a light tan wolf, Beck is a grey wolf and Shanks is a red-brown wolf. They are able to shift when they like but will always shift on the full moon.
Cuddling up with one, 2 or 3 of them or all them would be so good, human or wolf form. If your feeling cold you can snuggle up against just one of them, own personal heating, and feel nice and warm. Could end up in at the bottom puppy pile, with grown wolves "laying" on top of you.
Them scenting you when every you go out or come back, if they're not come with you, making sure people(other creatures) know that you belong them.
With the Whitebeard &/or Red Force pack, constantly teasing you all if you're around, cause of how they act around you. Marco and Beck are less likely to get fluster by you, but when it does happen it adorable. Ace and Shanks are normally making fools of themselves, which makes Marco and Beck wondering their own sanity sometimes.
They're all super protective, as they growl and crowd around you, intimidating anyone who is trying to harasses you or trying to hurt to you.
Each of them having a preferred spot on you, for their claim marks are.
Ace's claim mark is on the shoulder/neck, Marco has his on the side of the chest or waist, Shanks put his on the wrist and Beck place his on the inner thigh. When they kiss/lick their own marks it sends shivers down the spine and makes you feel safe/loved/flustered.
They go slightly feral when they see you wearing any of their clothes, being covered in their scent and then you have to fend them off, so they don't drag you away from prying eyes and you end up with marks and bruises that they love to leave on you, as well as making you sore and walk slightly with a limp, so they can just carry you everywhere.
On the full moon you will sit outside wrapped up in a blanket and drink in hand, cause they always want to see you at least once on full moon night before running off to run with their packs or they howl till you come out.
Some of the spicy thoughts are, of them pining you down and dominating you, ass in the air presented to them. Their stamina is insane and can go for many rounds unlike you, who generally ends up just letting do that they want, as you end up as bubbling mess by the end and tied together with one for a few minutes before being released.
The aftercare and cuddles are amazing.

Howl
Werewolf Shanks x gn! Reader
WC: 2k
Warnings: spooky themes, themes of violence. Nothing too crazy though.
You run a bookshop in a town plagued by stories of monsters and demons, not that you believed any of those stories yourself. And then one day, you meet Shanks.
Tumblr media
As a bookseller, you’d read countless stories about creatures of the Night. Seen stories unfold first hand, too. Your grandmother going on a walk through the woods and never returning, your father coming back from a hunt, face pale as death as he informs everyone that something had taken the others.
You had never seen any of this for yourself, of course, never allowed to leave town or walk alone at night. You even doubted that any of these creatures really existed, or if they were just tall tales spread by those who had heard the echoes of animals in the dark and thought they were monsters. People going missing, or were they just tired of living in a town plagued by the deceivable?
You were, you were tired of living the same day to day routine. But you couldn’t bring yourself to leave, your loved ones had died here, you had grown up here. You were chained to a town that held nothing for you, except for countless days of old ladies arguing over a book, like now.
As they argue, you stand behind the counter, fighting the urge to kick them both out or ban them from your shop entirely. Everyday was a monotonous routine in which you were trapped.
Until the bell above the door rings and a man walks in, someone new. Instantly, you feel wary, like something is wrong, but you don’t know what. The feeling only gets stronger as he gets closer.
He grins, all teeth and sparkling eyes. “I’m your new neighbor, Shanks.”
You introduce yourself warily, no one ever comes here. Not even tourists, even though the town’s infamy was known throughout countless places.
“Are you uh, here to buy something?” You ask, after a moment of silence.
The way he’s eyeing you makes you want to shift in your seat, but you don’t. Shanks just smiles.
“Just introducing myself, you’re the only one that’s talked to me so far.”
And although that wary feeling is still there, you smile back, and his grin only gets wider.
***
The man, Shanks, is strange. He drops by almost every day, only being gone a few days out of each month, for business, he tells you. You grow accustomed to his presence, and it becomes stranger for you to not see him at all than it does the opposite. You begin to fall in love with him.
He loves to help around the shop, especially when he can reach the shelves you can’t, almost preening when you thank him for it.
Right now, he’s sitting on the other side of the counter, head resting on his arms as he watches you price the new shipment of books.
“I’ll be going to the city for a week or two,” he tells you, “you should come with me.”
You pause for only a moment, but shake your head and continue. “I’ve never left town, you know that.”
“Why not? If you don’t believe in the stories, then nothing should stop you from leaving.”
You sigh heavily. “Shanks, it’s complicated. Who would look after the shop when I’m gone? It’s too much stress.”
He kisses your forehead. “You’re right, I’m sorry. Maybe some other time, yeah?”
You can tell he’s upset, even if he's apologetic about frustrating you, and that alone makes you want to go with him, but you don’t.
You do go see him off the next morning, a thermos full of coffee in your hand for him.
He grins. “Well, I’m glad you decided to see me off.”
“I can’t let you be deprived of my visage for too long, I know you love it.”
Shanks snorts. “Ha! More like you couldn’t bear to go without seeing me one last time.”
You pull him into a hug and he buries his face into your neck, like he usually does. He kisses your forehead and then sets off.
***
The next few days go by without incident. Customer, shelve books, customer, shelve books. You have to get the step ladder for the ones that you can’t reach. You hate it.
You do find yourself missing Shanks more than you thought you would. You figure that it might be because he’s farther away, or that maybe your feelings for him just make that distance feel wider.
And then, you walk upstairs from your shop to your house, and see it. All those years doubting everyone in town, only for those crazy stories to be true.
You don’t know how the creature got into your house, all you know is that its hulking mass is hovering above you, lips curled back to reveal rows of sharp teeth, sharper than any knife you’ve ever seen.
Werewolf, your mind supplies, even through the cloud of fear gripping it. A werewolf, just like the people in town have said. This is it, you’re going to be eaten by a werewolf.
You turn your head away from its gaze, revealing your neck, hoping that easier access to your throat will make death come quicker.
Instead of the jaws wrapping around your throat ready to devour you, you hear a high pitched wine, followed by a furry cheek rubbing against your neck and face.
Gasping in shock you quickly stand up and walk backwards, until you hit a wall, your eyes never leaving the creature in front of you. It whines again, coming closer, head bowed to you in some sort of surrender. You have no idea what the fuck is happening. When the werewolf reaches you again, it pushes you with its nose, trying to move you away from the wall and onto the floor with it.
Deciding that you might as well, lest you piss it off and cause it to kill you, you gingerly sit on the ground next to it. It licks your face happily, and then nudges its head into your neck. You laugh a little.
You wonder why it didn’t eat you, why it's being so friendly with you. You place your hand on its head and stroke its head, watching as its dark brown eyes close in delight.
Those eyes are so familiar to you, yet you can’t place them.
“I guess you aren’t so bad,” you say, “but who are you?”
It just whines again, licking you. It makes you feel kind of…..safe.
“Well, I’m glad you’re not going to eat me.”
It sighs contentedly and lays it head on your lap, falling asleep. You fall asleep like that too.
***
When you wake up, there's an arm around you, pulling you into their warm side.
Immediately your eyes shoot open and you wrestle free, staring into the eyes of Shanks, your neighbor, who happens to be naked. And in the place where the werewolf was.
You turn your head away in embarrassment, but the confusion filling you refuses to fade, even in the face of the man you had come to befriend over the months he had been here.
You open your mouth to say something, to ask a question, to fill the silence, but he cuts you off.
“I’m not having this conversation while I’m naked.”
He stands up, grabbing a nearby blanket to throw over himself. “Just….30 minutes, wait 30 minutes.”
And then he’s gone, leaving your head spinning.
Deciding to keep busy, you make coffee and prepare breakfast, head swimming with everything that happened. Shanks was a werewolf and on any other day, that would’ve made you laugh, but not now. Not after you had come face to face with a creature of the Night and lived.
The familiar three knocks sounded at the door and he entered again, clothed this time.
You watched as he made a plate and sat down across from you at the table.
“Alright,” he starts, “how much do you know about werewolves?”
“Only what I’ve heard from the townsfolk and what I’ve read in books about them, which if you hadn’t seen, isn’t a lot.”
The red haired man sighs. “Well, as you can imagine, I didn’t actually get these scars in a bar fight.”
You listen intently, nodding along.
“I turned a few days later, and I’ve been like that ever since. It's been…years, I think.”
“You were quite cute as a wolf. Very affectionate, too.”
He flushes. “Funny, that.”
“The way you said that makes me think it's actually not very funny at all.”
Shanks tears into a piece of bacon as a response and you glare at him. “Shanks.”
“There is one detail that no werewolf book seems to mention.”
“Spill it.”
He growls in exasperation. “Sometimes, we can become fixated on someone. Scent-marking them, protecting them. Even as wolves, something inside of us recognizes that person.”
“So you’re saying…?”
The red haired man rolls his eyes. “Christ, you’re impossible.”
Shanks pulls you forward and kisses you, he tastes of coffee. You gasp a little into the kiss and he grins, nipping your lip softly as he pulls away.
“I have probably loved you ever since I walked into your bookshop, it was like I had known you my whole life, had known you in my soul.”
“Oh.” And you sit with that for a moment. You think about all the times he’d come into the bookshop for no reason. How many times he had insisted on feeding you or taking his jacket. And then it clicks.
“You motherfucker, you’ve been courting me this whole time.”
Shanks is sheepish, which doesn’t happen often. “Guilty?”
You kiss him a little desperately. “I love you too.”
He lets out a high pitched whine, like it was a reflex. You laugh into the kiss.
“Your doglike qualities do make a lot more sense now.”
“Very funny.”
“I do have one other question, though.”
“Go on.”
You’re playing with his fingers. “You said you were going to the city, but you’re here instead.”
He buries his face into your hair, sighing. “I missed you and when I’m like that, I don’t think. I came here, looking for you. I was desperate to see you, to make sure you were okay. The smell, your smell, is strongest here. And then you actually came inside, and it was like all of my thoughts had transformed into needing to scent you. I do it even as a human.”
“Scent me?”
“Making you smell like me, so the other monsters know not to touch you.”
You feel hot; embarrassed. “Oh.”
“Every time I’m gone for a few days, its to transform, but I hate leaving you. It's why I wanted you to come with me, the farther away you are, the stronger the urge gets and then I commit a felony by breaking into your house.”
“I couldn’t tell you any of that, though,” he continues, “if I’d scared you, or worse, made you angry, I’d never forgive myself.”
You kiss him softly. “I understand. Thank you for telling me.”
Shanks smiles into the kiss. “Thank you.” For accepting me goes unsaid, but you know what he means.
“Next time you leave, I’ll go with you. Anywhere, just say the words.”
“Careful, a promise like that and I’ll keep you by my side forever.” He teases.
“That doesn’t sound too bad.”
“Don’t joke around like that, someone might think you were proposing.”
You roll your eyes. “Maybe in a year or two, unless we’re already married in some wolfy way I don’t know about?”
He grins. “Not unless you want to be.”
“We’ll come back to that later, much later. For now, I’ve got a pile of books that need to be put on high shelves with your name written on them.” You tell him, standing up and stretching, tired of sitting down for so long.
“God, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
You expected his werewolf reveal to be more of a shock, but it made so many things about him make sense, things that you had already loved about him. Maybe one day, you and Shanks would leave this town together, to be happy somewhere else. But that's in the future, and today you are content with Shanks picking you up in his arms and peppering your face with kisses.

Supernatural au take two.
Luffy's a werewolf, shanks turned him. Zoro is an oni, same with Robin. Nami is a dragon born, Ussop is a fea, chopper is a chimera, Brook and Jimbei stay the same. Sabo is a vampire, Dragon is one too, Roger Rouge and Ace are all angles. Coby is gaurdain, I'll explain that in a second.
The marines are monster hunters. They work with angels and guardians, and that's about it.
Angles and oni's have veiled and unveiled forms.
Guardians are porcelain beings that just kinda spawn. They don't age, but they can be killed. If you best one in a battle, they become bound to you. They're also about 10 ft tall cause the idea of Luffy sitting on Cody's shoulder makes me laugh. Guardians are based off of the guardians in the podcast Unbalanced Encounters: Rally.
Sabo used to be a normal human, but Dragon turned him to keep him alive. Shanks just turned Luffy cause he thought I'd be funny, he was right.
Garp is also an angel, but unlike the other angels, he has no backbone. He's the only angel in the Marines, but they do have 9 guardians, not including Coby cause he owes Luffy and refuses to leave him. This is meant in the gay way.
Coby ends up losing his arm protecting Luffy during marineford, Luffy does wholeheartedly tear Akainu's throat out with his bear teeth.

ALRIGHT, IT'S TIME!
THE SECOND RYUKI-AND-BLADE-ACCOMPANYING ANIME POLL IS NOW HERE!!!
SO, MEET YOUR CHALLENGERS!
AJIN Demi-Human
youtube
We start with a dark horror and possibly scifi about ethics in science, immortality, and an outlaw fugitive alien plot as a boy finds himself part of a group of immortals declared legally inhuman. While I have some misgivings about Oh No I Was Secretly A Creature All Along plots, I do fucking love horror and there’s a lot of ways for those plots to hit hard in the trans and gay and autism organs and be really important!!!!
Dimension W
youtube
The New Tesla Energy Corporation has monopolized the fourth dimension and the coils that connect to it. A duo of bounty hunters, one human and one robot, make money via repossessing illegal coils and seek out the answer to the mysteries within the dimension. I really wanna watch this one for a few reasons, the primary one of which is 'there are multiple fat women'. It seems to have freaks and weirdos and fun times, and its comedy is emphasized more than most of the other ones on this list so it might give some needed levity!
Kyoukai no Kanata
youtube
A bumbling monster hunter with blood powers meets an immortal via trying to shank him and ends up in an arrangement where she'll keep trying to kill him to boost her confidence while hunting monsters in what I hope is a monster-of-a-week show that came highly recommended by a friend as her favorite anime, or one of her favorites, so i have high hopes! Script's by the hibike euphonium guy and the power system seems quite interesting!
Air
youtube
A puppeteer (if he’s as good as Sakon will remain to be seen) stops his Road Trip To Meet A Golden Sun Jupiter Summon to stay for a bit in a town and, as happens to anyone who stops for too long, gets attached to the place and also meets a girl who might be said jupiteresque being. My friend informs me that it's gorgeous, sounds amazing (so I'll make sure to get clips), and has "nice sad vibes"!!! And it’s…listed in a “provincial horror” listing… hoho
Heike Monogatari
youtube
A child who can see ghosts and the future walks tirelessly through the tragedy of the war between the Taira and Minamoto families before the dawn of the first shogunate. It's wildly beloved by a friend of mine, and also centers a historical event i know some but not all about and definitely need to know more about the Taira side of. Seems like a beautiful drama, one I could lose my heart over.
SSSS Gridman
youtube
Digital kaiju! Digital hero! Digital amnesia! A monster of the week show about an unknown amnesiac summoning and merging with Hyper Agent Gridman to fight digital, possibly virtual monsters while making friends(?) in the real world! It's the one thing Tsubaraya Productions has that isn't Ultraman, and I expect some tokusatsu vibes from it along with the mecha stuff, i've also heard it has gay girl megatron??
Akudama Drive
youtube
It's a prison break and crime story set in a tech dystopia, starring a scene girl shoplifter, and featuring a bevvy of unpersoned convicts in what seems like an excellent ensemble clusterfuck!!! The Danganronpa crew made this thing! It's also beloved by a friend of mine, and I've heard it'll be a generally excellent tragedy of a time
Canaan
youtube
A reporter gets saved from assassins by a woman she might do yuri with, and the summaries I’ve found seem to imply a plot about terrorism and mystery! It’s a Type-Moon work that isn't part of the fate, tsukihime, OR melty universes! It might still have magecraft, but it's tagged sci-fi too, and a type moon take on scifi sounds interesting... it’s also based on. *checks wikipedia* a…perfect-Famitsu-score visual novel for the Nintendo Wii. So I might need to dig out some old hardware to watch this thing. For fun’s sake!
Killing Bites
youtube
A guy unintentionally becomes the underground wrestling promoter of a ?werewolf? Woman who murders his friends and wins him a shitload of money. The end goal? According to the summary, control of the economy!!! This was recommended as garbage and good lord I need garbage so much good god I need to put some trash inside of me.

Because it's been rolling around in my head for a while thanks to the Indigo Disk DLC release...
Bells Hells Pokémon Teams!
These are all vibe based, limited to the six Pokémon teams, and everyone gets at least one Legendary and Shiny. Some will be evolutionary lines because I could see them coming into the campaign unevolved.
Chetney
Stoutland- received as a Lillipup when Chet was a kid, this majestic old dog is his oldest companion. I think Stoutland speaks nicely to Chetney having a pretty normal life before he became a werewolf. Aslo, Chet can ride his Stoutland around, which is fun
Phantump- met as Chet trained in the Bramblewood, this spirit of a child in a tree stump/wood fell in love with Chetney's toy carving. Chet loves the joy this Pokémon feels with every project
Snover/Abamasnow- this tree Pokémon was caught during the Icelost years that Chet was present for in Tal'Dorei
Banette- Chetney is worried about his toycraft becoming obsolete, and this Pokémon is an abandoned toy. Also Chet talked about letting his grudges stew before werewolfdom
Lycanroc (Midnight Form, Shiny)- it's a Pokémon with something like the classical wolfman-werewolf shape, so werewolf vibes, baby! Caught after Chet got lycanthropy, shiny because it matches Chet's original color scheme
Zacian- look, it's a wolf that's set to shank a bitch. Tell me that doesn't vibe with Chetney
Orym
Sirfetch'd- Flying-type with a sword and shield, obviously meant for Mr Sword and Shield of the Air Ashari
Honedge/Doublade/Aegislash- Orym's memento of his husband that always travels with him is Will's sword, so the ghost sword(and later sword/shield combo) makes sense for Oym
Comfey- friendly cute flowers for Mr Druidcraft gifts
Pidgey/Pidgeotto/Pidgeot- the normal-est bird for the normal-est guy. Yet capable and more striking the further down the line they get
Appletun (Shiny)- got it in Byroden as a reminder to enjoy life and pie. Also, little guy solidarity. Shiny because green apple for Orym who wears green
Shaymin- more friendly flowers for Orym, and the Sky Form is a little fighter like him
Fearne
Darumaka- Fearne needs a fire monkey to mirror Little Mister and this is the round fire monkey shaped like the Little Mister plush
Braixen/Delphox- fire Pokémon with a bit of a witch aesthetic for the fire girl of the Witchy Bitches
Impidimp- a Fairy-type with a mischievous streak for our mischievous fey
Skiddo/Gogoat- for the goat-ness of being a faun and a little druidic Grass-type
Gloom/Vileplume (Shiny)- for Fearne's love of poisonous flowers. And shiny because it's green and orange, which are Fearne's colors
Moltres- a burning phoenix Pokémon that Fearne worries will take on the Galarian Form that her Bad Future Self had
Imogen
Mudsdale- workhorse for the farmgirl who loves horses
Ponyta (Galarian)- cute unicorn pony with Psychic typing (not Galarian Rapidash because I think it's ugly)
Blitzle/Zebstrika (Shiny)- the Electric-type "horse" (zebras are close, okay?) Pokémon for our storming electrical Horse Girl. And shiny because Zebstrika is purple when shiny
Hattrem/Hatterene- Imogen's witch Pokémon. It's Psychic-type and sensitive to emotions, making it sort of like her mindreading
Elgyem/Beheeyem- Psychic-type and kind of alien-ish and said to mess with people's heads, this Pokémon showed up to Imogen after her Exaltant powers awakened
Spectrier- Legendary horse that comes in Imogen's two colors: purple and red
Laudna
Rattata (Alolan)- to mirror Pâté. Potentially shiny as the deep red and black are Laudna's colors
Mimikyu (Shiny)- a broken doll-like Pokémon for a person who feels like a broken doll. And shiny makes it a pale black and white like Laudna
Mismagius- Laudna's witch Pokémon, and ghostly of course (Also collar gems like Delilah?)
Leavanny- a bit of a crafter Pokémon and protective of kids
Meowth (Galarian)- the Alolan Meowth and Kantonian Persian are the kind of Pokémon I could see noble ladies having, so Laudna decided to catch her own Meowth... and ended up with a scrungly Galarian one. But she loves them anyways
Marshadow- it's shadow theme matches Laudna's Shadow Sorcerery. And Laudna does spend time trying to copy the Ladies of Whitestone...
FCG
Togepi/Togetic/Togekiss- Pokémon that are about bestowing happiness, because that's all FCG wants for their friends. Possibly not enthused by Togekiss being so bird-like, while Togetic is definitely on the edge of comfortable
Happiny/Chansey/Blissey- classic Pokémon Center helper and healers line for the cleric
Porygon/Porygon 2/Porygon-Z- artificial Pokémon for the artificially made person. The bird-ish shape might weird FCG out a bit
Fidough/Dachsbund- obtained after they got their oven installed, this Pokémon helps FCG with his baking endeavors
Iron Thorns- secret Aeorian rage-mode Pokémon since Future Paradox Pokémon look like robots and Tyranitar, which Iron Thorns is based off of, is known for raging around (also reflects Ashton having a Tyranitar a bit)
Magearna- a man-made clockwork Legendary for the Aeormaton
Ashton
Golett/Golurk (Shiny)- a rock person Pokémon for an actual rock person. And they're also powered by mysterious energies. Probably Ashton's original Pokémon. Shiny for green glow lines
Tyranitar- acquired as a Larvitar in Bassuras and a point of pride to have fully evolved given the reputation of such a Pokémon in that city
Tinkaton- also caught in Bassuras as a Tinkatink. It's a Pokémon with a big hammer and the evolutionary line would probably be semi-common in the scrap heaps of Bassuras (Also the Corviknight hunting as a get rid of birds that FCG fears/hates)
Growlithe/Arcanine(Hisuian)- for Ashton's strong loyalties. Possibly acquired after attempting to absorb the Spark of Rau'shan for the Fire/Rock typing, or just had since a kid from Hishari
Cosmog- suddenly appeared after Ashton got galaxy-brained because it's a little galaxy guy from another (higher?) dimension. It's Ashton's innocent baby who doesn't know how to stay in the damn pokéball and not reveal his soft side
Regigigas- this is the big titan Pokémon, hauling continents and shit. Not to mention that the Slow Start ability reflects how Ashton had a titan shard for twenty years before they really got it to do anything spectacular

Hunted by a sunless city that never sleeps (part 1)
Dracule Mihawk x reader
Werewolf!AU for the short series that began with Built a haven for your love (until I let you fall apart). Can be read as a standalone.
This is part one of five. This fic is dedicated to @alphaash99.
Title taken by another song by Beast in Black -Moonlight Rendezvous- since it's not part of the main continuity. Kuraigana Island is Mihawk's home in the manga/anime.
Shanks being in a relationship with his crew's doctor is an allusion to this headcanon list and then to this fic, even though they take place in a different continuity.
*****
One day Mihawk, soon after waking up, searches for you in his bed and doesn't find you.
The discovery shouldn't be too surprising, since you are not living with him, and you never did; thus, your absence is the norm, nor the exception, and surely nothing to wonder or get alarmed about.
On the other hand, it is true than ever since he moved to Kuraigana Island you have been the sole regular visitor, and the only one who he actually invited; indeed, excluding occasional sailors or pirates who inadvertently stumble upon his home and are strongly encouraged to leave as soon as they can, you are the only person he has been in the company of while he remains in the solitary islet he had made his home. If there is someone he could expect to see in his castle, it is undoubtedly you.
Still, what he feels as he turns, barely half-awake and vaguely groggy after a night of deep sleep, and sees the other half of the bed empty, is not simply confusion, followed by the realization you haven't visited in weeks; it is disappointment, and the reason for that is much more private and difficult to describe...
Mihawk had first met you in his (and your) youth, and ever since your paths have kept crossing regularly, a series of coincidences only partially attributable to the fact that you were both allied with the World Government, he as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and you as a mercenary, and had therefore to regularly visit the Marines HQ. It was as if destiny kept pushing the two of you together, he more than once reflected as he sat in front of you to enjoy a glass of red wine and an intelligent conversation, for some inscrutable reason, but in the privacy of his heart he was actually glad of it, since you were one of the very few people whose company he genuinely enjoyed. In time, your relationship had developed, and you had become part of him, someone who was almost constantly in his thoughts and who made him genuinely happy with your mere presence.
At first, as he became aware of his feelings, it had been unsettling, almost terrifying, to realize there was a person who had that sort of influence on him; in time, those emotions were replaced with relief, and gratitude, because he now knows you feel the same for him.
He has always been an early riser, quickly leaving his bed after waking up instead of wasting time lounging (unless, of course, you are there with him) but today Mihawk lingers for a while, a pensive expression on his face as he contemplates the other half of the bed, empty and unslept in, before finally rising and beginning his day.
As usual, he spends the morning training, first with Yoru and then with a smaller blade, one of the last three remaining works of a deceased swordmaker that you had found and gifted him; it is an excellent weapon, deadly and of exquisite workmanship, but that is only one of the reasons why he is so fond of it. He prefers to practice outside, having furnished a clearing behind the castle as a suitable training ground, but the day is rainy, the blue of the sky completely covered by thunderous clouds as a veritable deluge falls on the island, and thus he decides to retreat to the armory, a large hall in the east wing that is still as serviceable as it had been centuries ago, for the lords and the soldiers who once inhabited the castle. As he wields his sword, practicing lunges, parries and figures he could repeat in his sleep but still repeats over and over again, either against the leather and straw dummies or an invisible opponent, he is almost inhumanly focused, no thought or emotion distracting him from his life mission, the title he conquered more than twenty years ago and has since then defended against countless opponents. Mihawk is not the sort of man who, fulfilled his ambition, loses interest in what he does and lets complacency weaken him; conversely, ever since he has become the world's strongest swordsman he has been training twice as hard as before, pushing his body and his mind to their limits and beyond.
One day, perhaps after old age has weakened him, someone stronger than him will come, or he will die, making way for another swordsman to claim the prize he had aspired to since he was old enough to hold a wooden sword; but that day is still far in the future, and the world will know the name of Dracule Mihawk for many years to come.
The sun has barely begun its descend in the sky when Mihawk stops, wipes perspiration from his face and gives himself permission to stop, and eat. Returning to the set of rooms he has claimed as his own when he moved to the island (not the largest apartment of the castle, nor the most grandiose, probably belonging to a less important member of the royal family or a minister; still, it's perfect for him, and Mihawk feels no discomfort whatsoever in inhabiting alone a castle once populated by dozens of people), he glances out one of the large windows along the main corridor. The sky is still grey, but the violent downpur of that morning has decreased to a light drizzle, the murmuring of the drops hitting the ground reaching him through the glass.
His transponder snail is resting on a table close to the door of the banquet hall, where Mihawk regularly has his meals. He reaches it, quickly dialing a number he has long known by heart.
When the call is picked up, the voice that answers is not yours, rather that of a man - which does not surprise, or anger, Mihawk.
"Lady (name)'s line. How can I help you?"
"It is Dracule Mihawk." he explains, and he doesn't need to say more; after all, even when a secretary is entrusted with your transponder snail while you are otherwise occupied, he is the only person, together with your mother, whose calls you always accept, even if it's not an urgent matter and you are busy.
"Just a minute, sir; I will call her immediately." the secretary answers, as expected, and less than two minutes pass before he can hear your voice through the receiver, which in turn is enough to make him smile - at least when he is alone.
"Hi." you murmur, your tone low and intimate. Mihawk leans against the wall, his legs crossed at the ankles, enjoying the moment.
"Hello. Am I disturbing you?"
"Not at all; I had a meeting with the treasurer, but we finished earlier than expected. And you know you never disturb, I'm so glad to hear from you."
There is no mistaking the sincerity and affection in your voice, and Mihawk sighs; suddenly the prospect of waking up alone tomorrow as well is unbearable.
"Are you all right?"
"I am. It is raining today; it made me think about that day."
"Did it?" you ask in a more playful tone; you don't need to ask which day, which pleases Mihawk more than he would feel comfortable with admitting "I had no idea you were such a romantic."
"It was a good day." he softly points out, before moving on to the main reason for his call "Can you come over?"
A brief pause; Mihawk can't see you, but he knows you are smiling as well, savouring the unexpressed reason behind that request, which is also why you unnecessarily ask:"When?"
Now. "As soon as you can."
"I think I can be there the day after tomorrow in the morning; it is my mother's birthday today, but from tomorrow on I can clear my schedule for a few days."
You quickly arrange to meet at the harbour as usual; you usually keep your conversations brief, which is perhaps surprising for two people in a long-distance relationship, preferring to exchange letters, and Mihawk is about to say goodbye when he hears you speak again.
"Just one thing."
"Yes?"
"The full moon is seven days from now." you cautiously mention, and Mihawk, who had hoped he could convince you to stay for a little longer, sighs; he is not going to insist, or to reproach you, both because he doesn't want to be that sort of partner and he knows how important it is for you to take part in the ceremony, but he has to admit it: the whole affair is starting to annoy him.
"All right." he answers in the end with a sigh.
"I'm sorry, I... I could wait for it to be over and come later..."
That would work, the swordsman reasons; you would have more time to clear your schedule, as well as to spend with him. Still, that would mean having to wait more than a week before your next meeting...
"There's no need. I... I want to see you. As soon as possible."
Mihawk hesitates; the ease with which that confession leaves his lips is almost scary, even though he knows you are the only person in the world he could talk like that to, and you will always keep his secrets... as he would keep yours.
"This morning..."
"Yes?"
"This morning I woke up and you weren't there."
For a few moments silence falls on the two of you; when he finally hears your voice, it sounds strangely strained, as if your emotions prevented you from talking.
"I'll be there tomorrow night."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. I'll leave as soon as my mother goes to bed tonight, she won't mind and we'll save an evening at least."
Mihawk is now openly smiling. "All right. I'll be waiting for you."
"You do it, Hawk Eyes."
You say goodbye, and close the call. Mihawk is happy no one can see him in that moment; he looks out of the window in front of him, and sees a timid sun emerging among the clouds.
*****
In the years, a quiet, apparently distant but firm friendship had blossomed between you, a somewhat surprising rapport for a solitary man like him that Mihawk nonetheless hoped would resist the test of time. He respected you, trusted you and genuinely enjoyed your company, as he did with very few people in the world; he did think you were an attractive woman, but there was also much more in you that he appreciated.
He never thought your relationship could change; he knew you occasionally took lovers, mainly during your travels since the island where you lived was so small it would have been impossible to avoid your old flames, while he had been alone for a few years and was perfectly content with that state of affairs...
... until one day he saw you admiring the raging sea under a stormy sky, the crescent moon hidden by iron-grey clouds, from a pier not far from the inn you were staying at. A large umbrella was open above your head, but that had not been enough to protect you from the deluge, coupled with the strong wind blowing from the sea: your boots, your dress, above which you wore the holster of your favourite gun hanging from your waist, and even your face, were drenched, as you remained still as a statue, your gaze embracing the huge combers raising from the sea's surface.
It was such a peculiar scene, Mihawk approached you under his own umbrella, wanting to know why in the world you were not hurrying towards the inn or even just a shop to take shelter from the rain. "(name), is everything all right? You'll catch pnneumonia if you remain here..."
He realized a moment later than he should have that he was talking to you as if he were your father, and you a child too young to know better, but when you looked at him, it was with your usual friendly smile, not a frown.
"I know; I just... love the rain; it makes me feel alive." you explained "Sometimes I just like to look at it. It reminds me of when I was young, and I would go out and play when it poured. My poor mother who had to go outside and drag me in..."
You had to be cold, but you were smiling, your eyes lost behind some distant memory. The spectacle of the stormy sea was striking, Mihawk privately admitted; it could remind any pirate, no matter how experienced they were or how large their ship, that its power was still overwhelming, and the danger of drowning and shipwreck unwise to forget.
"My father used to say rain is good, because it nourishes the earth and washes blood away; when I let it wash over me, sometims I feel as if it could clean me from pain and bad memories."
"I wish that were so easy." Mihawk mused; his coat, not to mention the part of his chest left bare by it, was starting to get wet as well, but he suddenly felt much less desirous to find shelter than a minute before.
"Yes, me too."
You smiled at him, perfectly aware and unconcerned about the bizarre show you were offering, and something in the quiet beauty of your form, soaking wet but so at ease surrounded by the fury of the storm, fascinated him. Obeying a sudden, irresistible impulse, Mihawk kissed you, a kiss you happily returned, your still warm body pressed against his, one of your hands caressing his hair as his held you by the waist; he felt you shiver, but the rain could take no credit for it. It was the most unexpected, sweetest kiss of his life, one he wished would last for hours and that at the same time was not enough to quench the desire suddenly burning in his belly; and when your eyes met, there was no need for words to make him realize you wanted the same.
You returned to the inn together, him holding the umbrella above both of your heads, and left your rain-drenched clothes on the floor (but, you had carefully placed the holster of your gun on a chest of drawers, and he had propped Yoru against the nearby wall) as you made love on the bed. Your friendship had ended that night; and something even more precious had taken its place, something that on the next morning, as he contemplated the now clear sky out of the room's window and you still slept, curled up against his side, he realized he wanted to be more than an one-off occurrence.
Thanks all the Gods, you had been of one mind on that as well.
You have been lovers for three years now, a relationship you are both fully committed to, and to each other. You have never spoken much about it, not feeling the need to give a name to what you share, aware that wherever you are, while he takes care of his duties as a Warlord and you travel the world in search of your next quarry, you both carry each other in your heart. One day, he supposes, the two of you will have to think about the future: after all, you will have an island to govern once your mother passes, which means you will also have much less time to devout to impromptu vacations with your lover; also, he hopes sooner or later you will tell him about the plenilune ceremony, and your flask, and the reason why you have never invited him to your island.
It will all go well; he trusts you, and what you share, enough to be sure. And until then he will respect your secrets, and simply wish you didn't have to part so soon.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but what is Oliver’s relationship with blood?
Tumblr media
he gets by with tactless morbid humour.
He needs to drink a flask of blood every third day. He's one of the unfortunate vampires who drank too much the first time, so now he's stuck with that.
He works in a funeral home for a reason.
Human blood is best, but second-best is pig blood from the butcher. (pst! in the world of IBWR, butchers are also known as erebus-amours, as a lot of erebus type peculiars do meet in the butcher shops.) Other animals work too, but they're less potent and it is more difficult for a vampire to get the measurements right.
You can't also, like, just bite people. You know? That's like shanking someone. So vampires get their blood from secondary sources. (pst! there's no such thing as a bloodbank in 1885!)
Vampires need to drink blood, or they get into a semi-concious pursuit for it. They can't help it, it's like being blackout drunk and this blood-goblin takes the wheel. They have some sense of what's going on, but they're like... pure natural instinct.
Tumblr media
Werewolves and Vampires are not too unlike each other in that regard. Only that it is the moon cycles that control the werewolf while the vampire's personal cycle controls them.
To werewolves, vampires are "lucky" that they get some sense of control by getting blood. While vampires would reply that there is comfort in at least relying on that the moon will happen and you can prepare for it.
IT SUCKS TO BE AN EREBUS, BUT WHAT YA GONNA DO, Y'KNOW???

Straw Hat Pirates Halloween/Autumn Headcanons!
Tags: SFW, GN! reader, can be read as platonic or romantic (minus Chopper’s part, which is purely platonic), literally just what the title says.
Warnings: None!
A/N: Happy Halloween! I think I wrote a lot more for Franky and Robin than I did for anyone else, but please enjoy my silly little headcanons. <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Luffy
This boy loves everything about Halloween. It’s easily his favorite time of the year.
Him, Sabo, and Ace would work on their costumes for days on end, using whatever they could scavenge up in Grey Terminal, Dadan’s shack, and random shit they found in the woods.
Absolutely went as Shanks at least once.
Makino would always insist on making costumes for the three of them, but would always get turned down. This was something the brothers bonded (and competed) over and they wanted to do it without help.
If she finds their costumes, though, she will do her best to touch up their shoddy stitching while they were away.
Luffy, Ace, and Sabo have definitely tried to trick-or-treat in High Town to get the best candy. It’s the perfect time to sneak in- no one would question a couple of little kids running around in masks and shitty costumes, right? It’s just part of the spooky Halloween aesthetic, isn’t it?
Yeah, they stood out like sore thumbs among all the store-bought, clean, not-spooky costumes.
Luffy still makes his own costumes every year, and he has the weirdest and most poorly-made costumes you’ve ever seen. He puts in a ton of effort, though. Every costume is made with his own blood, sweat, and tears, and he takes a lot of pride in them.
“What are you supposed to be, Luffy?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
It isn’t. He’s supposed to be a vampire, but looks more like a starved, mangy gorilla.
He throws a mandatory costume party on the Thousand Sunny every Halloween. There is no getting out of it. If you try to get out of it, Luffy will whine your ears off until you agree and then drag you back to his room so you can help him with his costume.
He still sucks at sewing.
Help him make his costume and he will love you forever. He’ll try to help you with your costume in return, of course.
If you bought a costume, he’ll try to “upgrade” it. How he thought werewolf fur would be an upgrade to what was supposed to be an angel costume, you had no idea. It’s the thought that counts, I guess.
He also eats all the candy and sweets Sanji prepares. Sanji has to prepare extra batches in secret just so you and the rest of the crew can eat.
Knocks himself out pretty quickly, though. He parties hard and crashes even harder after all that sugar. Will fall asleep on you and get clingy.
I feel like his favorite Halloween treat would be caramel apples, especially if Sanji goes the extra mile to make them Halloween-themed. A caramel apple that looks like meat on the bone, completed with some “scary” blood (red food dye), is something he will go insane for.
Tumblr media
Zoro
Zoro also loves Halloween, but for all the wrong reasons.
Any holiday used as an excuse to drink sake, and Halloween is no exception. This man gets absolutely plastered during Luffy’s party.
You will have to pry the bottle of sake out of his cold, dead hands after his liver fails.
Chopper is so concerned. Please babysit Zoro so he doesn’t actually die.
This mf cannot be trusted around kids during Halloween. If the Sunny is docked at some random island, he’ll find a way to sneak off (probably intending to buy more sake) and end up terrorizing the trick-or-treaters. Will scare the shit out of them and laugh.
Will scare the shit out of you and laugh.
No one is safe, except for Chopper (unless he’s really drunk).
Tells super shitty scary stories.
For the love of god, don’t let Zoro leave the ship. You will not be able to find him for the rest of the night. Don’t let him go alone, at least.
If you go with him, good luck.
If there’s some sort of haunted house close by, you guys will end up going in there.
Huge plus if you scare easily. He feels strong and dependable when you cling onto him. And he’ll poke fun at you for getting startled by the jump scares.
If you don’t scare easily, then you can both make fun of the shitty jump scares.
Zoro puts in no effort when it comes to his costume. Either buys a really shitty mask from the store or goes crazy with the fake blood. Sometimes both.
Always incorporates his swords into his costumes, too.
“What are you, Zoro?”
“A zombie swordsman.”
“All you did was put fake blood on your old clothes, though.”
“And?”
Compare him to a used menstrual product and he’ll kill you. Possibly already got into a fight with Sanji over that.
He’s probably one of the last people awake, even if he is extremely drunk. You’ll have to drag him to bed while he mutters nonsense.
His hangover the next day is horrible. He will not be able to do anything. Either tries to sleep it off or complains about it endlessly. He wants you to stay with him in both circumstances.
Zoro isn’t a big fan of sweets, so I don’t think he has a favorite Halloween treat.
Tumblr media
Nami
Nami loves all things autumn, Halloween included! Just not the scary shit.
Hay rides, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, apple orchards, fall festivals- she loves it all (except for carving pumpkins because they smell like ass). If she gets the chance to go to any of those, she will take it and drag you along with her.
Will also drag you along with her when she goes shopping. Although that activity isn’t a fall-exclusive one, she still loves it. Will try to get you to buy a matching outfit.
Also makes Sanji get pumpkin spice as soon as it starts being sold again. In a modern AU, she would get that Starbucks pumpkin spice shit all the time.
She loves baking. Bakes an excessive amount of pies and cookies and pumpkin breads (just another reason for Luffy to love autumn).
Bellemere absolutely went all out during Halloween/autumn for Nami and Nojiko (to the best of her ability), so October is a super nostalgic and a slightly melancholy time for her. Especially since she couldn’t celebrate for a long time because of Arlong.
She wants to spend as much time with you and the rest of the crew as she can and go all out with decorations. Will absolutely talk about old memories of hers if you give her the chance.
But onto the actual Halloween headcanons.
Nami would take you to go costume shopping with her, but would buy it behind your back and keep her costume a secret up until the night of Luffy’s party. Her and Usopp would try to do a group costume theme, likely dragging you and Chopper into it while they’re at it.
Either works perfectly or everyone’s theme ideas are too different, so you scrap the plan.
You know that one quote from Mean Girls?
“In Girl World, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it."
This 100% applies to Nami. She will pull out the sluttiest costume you’ve ever seen.
Like… you’ve seen lingerie that covers more skin.
“Is this supposed to be your costume..?”
“Obviously. I’m a cat- didn’t you see the ears?”
She’s just wearing lingerie with a cat ear headband.
Loves Luffy’s mandatory costume party. She’s the one that decorates for it, helps Sanji with the food, and plans out all the activities. She wants everyone to have as much fun as possible, so there are lots of party games and themed sweets.
Will get into a drinking competition with Zoro if you and the crew place bets on them. She’d do it for some extra cash.
Will get fucked up and you’ll have to send her to bed early, but she’ll have no regrets (if she won). All smiles and happy that she got to spend the night with the people she loves.
I feel like her favorite Halloween treat would be fruit flavored gummies, but her favorite fall treat would be peach and berry cobbler. She also hates candy corn.
Tumblr media
Usopp
Similar to Nami, Usopp loves autumn and all the festivities that come with it, but he lowkey hates Halloween.
Like, he enjoys the pumpkin carvings and the costume making, but he hates all the scary stuff that comes with a holiday like Halloween. Haunted houses? Spooky decor? Monsters? No thank you. He could barely handle Brook.
A victim of Zoro’s scares. </3
Will get upset with you if you purposefully scare him or set him up to be scared. Be nice to him please.
Swamps himself with personal projects for October. You’re always invited to hang out with him in his workshop as he distracts himself with his creations (and hides from Zoro).
Make sure you drag him out every now and then to do non-spooky activities. I suggest a petting zoo or some sort of farm. Maybe a nice hike to take in the beautiful scenery.
Absolutely loves bonfires and making s’mores. Just don’t tell any scary stories, okay? His heart can’t handle that.
He also loves autumn candles, cinnamon brooms, and scented pinecones. Him and his workshop smell so goddamn good.
This man is the king of carving/painting pumpkins. He makes the coolest designs every year and he has a lot of pride in that. He wins any competition having to do with aesthetics. He always harvests the seeds for Sanji to roast.
He makes the autumn decorations for Nami. Wreathes, cute scarecrows, little paper leaves to string up around the Sunny- that kind of stuff.
Also this man totally crochets and knits shit for you and everyone else on the crew. Expect a sweater when it starts getting cold.
Him and Robin work together to make Chopper’s costume. With the two of them collaborating, they make literal art for the reindeer. Will make you a costume if you ask.
Obviously makes his own costume. He’ll go as less scary versions of classic monsters or heroes from whatever comic books he finds in the New World. Asks for your input when he hits mental roadblocks.
“Hey (Name), do you think my costume would look better if I added this to it?”
Shows up fashionably late to Luffy’s party. Which is completely intentional and not because he started questioning some of his design choices for his costume and had to make some last minute changes.
Spends a lot of the night eating and dancing.
Is super proud of himself when he wins a game and gets smug about it.
He knocks himself out pretty early, but not as early as Chopper. Wakes up glad that Halloween is finally over and still feels some residual pride after winning.
Usopp’s favorite Halloween treats are pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. He’s festive like that. Keeps a jar of them in his workshop so he can snack while he works.
Tumblr media
Sanji
Sanji did not give a shit about Halloween for the longest time. He couldn’t really celebrate it with his family (“you’re above that”) or on the Baratie, so Halloween was just another day for him.
That is, until he found out about slutty costumes.
Now he goes crazy for Halloween every year.
Other than that, he doesn’t really have any interest in the holiday.
He is, however, very interested in the farmers markets that always pop up at this time.
He’ll invite you to go with him and help him pick out the best seasonal ingredients.
Corn, apples, potatoes, squashes, sweet potatoes, eggplants. Also snags some spices so he can make a pumpkin spice blend for Nami.
Like this mf gets everything. You struggle to keep up with him as he explains what dishes he’s going to make with all the produce.
Would also go apple/berry picking with you. He finds the ripest, sweetest fruits ever.
Him and Nami exchange new dessert recipes all the time.
The kitchen has seasonal decorations, but nothing flammable and nothing close to the stove/oven. (Luffy tried to hang one of Usopp’s wreaths above the stove and almost caused a fire.)
Doesn’t really give a shit about his own costume, but he always looks really good in whatever he picks.
He goes for simple costumes that don’t heavily alter his appearance. Think butlers, vampires, devils, cowboys, etc.
He does buy a ton of accessories for his costumes, though.
“Do you really need this for your costume?”
Yes he does.
Spends all day working on the food for Luffy’s party, with the help of Nami and you. Super spent at the end of it, but very proud and happy.
Makes the food Halloween themed and tries to give it some nutritional value.
He also makes actual food and snacks and not just desserts/candies.
Sanji definitely wasn’t the biggest fan of the Halloween party at first, but it very quickly grew on him (totally not because of the sexy costumes).
Absolutely shits on Zoro for the insane amount of fake blood he uses on his costume. Zoro shits on him for picking a boring costume.
He has a ton of fun at the party though.
Doesn’t get as wasted as Zoro, but does drink.
Drunk Sanji is super funny tbh. Cracks some really funny jokes and manages to tell some really good stories.
Is complete ass at some of the games, but he doesn’t care. He can have fun without winning.
Another person who goes to sleep kinda early.
Sanji’s favorite Halloween treat would be chocolate covered pretzels, maybe peanut brittle. He loves the combination of salty and sweet. I also feel like he would enjoy black licorice.
Tumblr media
Chopper
Chopper had never heard of Halloween. Well, he’s heard of it, but never really knew what it was.
Whenever he and Dr. Kureha traveled around Drum to help people in October, it was all the children talked about.
Dr. Kureha would always brush him off when he asked about it, saying that it wasn’t anything he should preoccupy himself with (she didn’t want him to get hurt again).
But once that he’s with the Straw Hats and they explain the concept to him? He goes fucking crazy for it now.
Not for the horror aspect of it, but he adores the costumes and the trick-or-treating.
This mf also goes crazy for fall festivals.
When you finally stop at an island that has a fall festival, Chopper practically drags you off the Sunny to go.
Agua frescas, funnel cakes, donuts, cookies, fried chocolate bars, huge ice cream cones, cotton candy, milkshakes, etc. He loves all the shit that you can eat/drink there as long as it’s sweet.
Ends up getting a bad stomach ache though.
Gets kinda frustrated and sad when he struggles to win any prizes.
You have to explain to him that the games at the festival aren’t meant for you to win and he gets mad at the people running the games for scamming.
You finally win (or steal) a massive stuffed animal for him and he loves it. He shows it off to everyone when you finally get back to the Sunny.
He is in awe of the color of the leaves. They’re just so pretty and he’s never seen anything like it.
He likes stepping on the super crunchy ones.
That gives you the idea to make a massive pile of leaves for him to play in.
He loves it. Makes leaf-angels, throws leaves everywhere, buries himself.
He invites you to play with him and you both have a blast.
He never has to worry about his costume, since Robin and Usopp always make it for him.
His costumes are always adorable, even if he’s supposed to be a monster or something spooky.
“Your costume is so cute, Chopper! Are you a bat?”
“It’s supposed to be scary!”
Him and Luffy party so hard on Halloween night.
Eats almost as much candy as Luffy and passes out in a similar way.
Dances with you and plays as many games as he can before the sugar crash takes him out.
You have to carry him back to his bed before he falls asleep on the floor. He has a smile on his face and thanks you for making everything extra fun.
Chopper’s favorite Halloween candy would be candy corn and those pumpkin-shaped sugar cookies.
Tumblr media
Robin
As a kid, Robin used to love Halloween and go all out for it.
All the archeologists would decorate the library inside the Tree of Knowledge with things like fake spider webs, paper ghosts, and small pumpkins to make it fun for Robin.
She always had the cutest costumes. She would dress up as her favorite book characters or archeologists she looked up to.
She wanted to stay inside and continue studying, but the professors managed to convince her to go outside and be a kid.
Would share her candy with Professor Clover and everyone else and end up passing out at the library.
She has not celebrated Halloween once since the fall of Ohara.
Not because she didn’t want to, but because she couldn’t. She either couldn’t go out without fear of being recognized or whoever she was working under at the time wouldn’t let her.
Fast forward and she’s with you and the Straw Hats. She’s finally able to celebrate it again and she is lowkey excited.
Reads scary stories and gothic novels all October to get herself into the spooky mood.
She’ll invite you to sit next to her by the campfire as she tells everyone the most horrific scary story you have ever heard. Usopp dies inside.
Her morbid sense of humor really comes out at this time of the year, which is occasionally directed towards Brook.
If there’s a haunted house/hay ride, scary maze, escape room, or anything else like that, Robin will going and will be taking you with her.
Chuckles if you get scared and tries to warn you when there’s an upcoming jumpscare (she can see them coming from a mile away).
Out of all of the scary activities, escape rooms are her favorite. The majority of the time she can figure them out easily, but once every blue moon, there’s an escape room that requires more effort than usual.
Always let’s you help out with the puzzles. Escape rooms are really boring if only one person is doing all the work. She wants it to be fun for both of you, not just her.
Bonus points if you both are actively being chased/hunted while in the escape room. The added tension is so exciting for her, even if it isn’t particularly scary.
She would also love petting zoos. Her favorite animals are the goats. They’re just so goofy and she can’t help but love them.
Robin makes her own costumes and they are always beautiful.
Definitely goes for a classic gothic vampire for her first Halloween with you and the Straw Hats.
Goes the extra mile with accessories.
“Wow, Robin, your costume is gorgeous! I love the fake bone jewelry.”
“Thank you, but these are real.”
You can’t tell if she’s serious or if it’s her sense of humor.
In a modern AU, she would try to get you, Franky, and Chopper to all go as the Addams Family. Chopper is Pugsley and you and Franky have to fight over who’s going to be Gomez and Wednesday. Robin serves cunt as Morticia.
She’s always the first one to show up for the Halloween party.
Wins quite a few of the party games that Nami set up, much to Usopp’s chagrin. She lets him win a few to boost his ego.
Takes you to dance with her when Brook plays slower songs, listening to you talk about whatever you’ve been up to leading up to the party.
Drinks a lot of red wine, but doesn’t get plastered like Nami and Zoro. Looks elegant as hell while she’s drinking in her costume.
She’s the last one to go to bed. If you stay up with her, she’ll tell you a little about her past Halloweens and forgotten traditions.
Robin’s favorite Halloween treat is sour gummy worms. She loves sour candies and the fact that they resemble worms makes them perfect for Halloween.
Tumblr media
Franky
Franky fucking loves Halloween. Always has, always will. If Halloween has 1,000,000 fans, Franky is one of them. If Halloween has 1,000 fans, Franky is one of them. If Halloween has 1 fan, it’s Franky.
Loved going Trick-or-Treating with Tom, Kokoro, and Iceburg. Halloween was something they all loved and they celebrated it with gusto.
He still competed with Iceburg, though. Who had the better costume? Who got the most candy? Who could finish their work in time to go Trick-or-Treating?
Iceburg usually took that last one.
But the sentiment carried over after Tom’s death and Franky grew up.
The Halloween parties that the Franky Family would throw were insane. Nobody outside of the Family was invited, but tons of people turn up anyway.
Like, Franky knows how to throw a party. Tons of food, booze, and cola were present, along with good company. These guys would go crazy for hours.
No one in Water 7 gets sleep on Halloween because the Family will be blasting music into the early hours of the morning.
He is always so hyped for Luffy’s Halloween party. He will talk your ears off about all his plans for October and the party.
He loves going apple picking. There’s something so very therapeutic about being in the orchard and finding the best apples with you.
He makes his own homemade cider with the apples you both picked, which is pretty damn good.
He’s also a sucker for cookouts. Sanji usually handles all the cooking, but Franky will be on the grill. Don’t argue with him.
It isn’t on par with what Sanji makes, but he puts his heart into those hotdogs and burgers.
Makes a really good steak, too. Once again, not Sanji-levels of good, but the man knows his way around a grill.
Would go into shock if you asked him for a well done steak. Why would you do that to a perfectly good piece of meat?!
Always helps to set up for the bonfires.
Makes the most s’mores. He always sets the marshmallows on fire, though. He claims that charred marshmallows are the best.
You can hear the crispness of the poor mallow as he bites into it. That mf is fossilized.
Builds animatronics for the party and they are the coolest things ever. They look so realistic and scary and they’re amazing.
Modern AU Franky would recreate FNAF as per Luffy’s request. The Bite of ‘87 will happen.
Franky also makes his own costumes.
Well, he makes the accessories. He has to buy the clothing part of it. It’s not that he can’t sew- he can -it’s just that he sucks at making clothes.
He prefers to go as traditional monsters like Frankenstein, werewolves, ghosts, etc.
He also will put on Halloween makeup. Will gladly let you apply it for him if you’re good with makeup.
One of the only times he will put on pants is if he’s wearing a costume. Even then, he tries to think of ways to still achieve the look he’s going for without wearing them.
He loves matching/themed costumes. If you match with him, it’ll make his year. He gets so happy and excited.
“We look super good, (Name)!”
Goes so hard during Luffy’s party. He has been looking forward to it for weeks and he is not afraid to let the world know that.
He drinks a ton of his homemade cider and cracks a bunch of jokes.
Loves everything about the party. He wants to do everything he possibly can.
He’s the first to start dancing and convinces you and your crewmates to get out onto the dance floor with him.
He’s really good at dancing tbh. Dancing with him is a blast.
Gets wiped out after a while and has to sit down and recharge with a cola. There’s a 50/50 chance that he will end up falling asleep before he can get to the cola.
Franky doesn’t really have a favorite Halloween treat, but he loves anything homemade. He destroys all of Nami and Sanji’s baked goods. If you make him something, he will gladly eat it and tell you it was super delicious.
Tumblr media
Brook
Brook feels pretty neutral about Halloween. He hasn’t celebrated it since he was a kid and doesn’t have much interest in celebrating it now (unless partying is involved).
His favorite part about this Halloween is that no one bats an eye at him being a skeleton. And that he gets to make 10x more skeleton jokes than usual.
(And the sexy costumes.)
He loves autumn, though! His first autumn outside of the Florian Triangle makes him really emotional.
Gets pretty melancholy when he thinks about how much of his life that he missed, but is very grateful to be alive in that moment.
If you really like Halloween, he will gladly participate in Halloween activities with you.
He’s not a huge fan of haunted houses or corn mazes.
He has gone to haunted houses with you before and he ends up scaring the actors when they realize he’s a real skeleton.
He has to turn down multiple job offers.
He really likes pumpkin patches and fall festivals, though!
They’re so lively and colorful and they make him feel happy to be alive. Especially seeing how excited the other people (and you) are to be there.
Speaking of colorful, he loves going on nature walks and taking in the color of the leaves changing. He’ll collect any leaves that he thinks are especially pretty and show them to you.
Being out in the wild with all the natural beauty inspires him.
He writes multiple songs while he’s out there. The majority of them are rock and roll, but there are some more classical songs mixed in there.
You’re the first one to listen to all his new songs.
He’ll whip out his old fiddle and play hauntingly beautiful music, then switch to his guitar and put on a Soul King performance.
He also loves walking around and looking at all the Halloween decorations with you. Brook loves seeing people be passionate about things, even if it’s something he doesn’t have much interest in.
When it comes to costumes, he usually just buys something related to the dead/undead.
Ghosts, zombies, the Headless Horseman- that kinda stuff.
You could throw a white sheet over him and recreate that one Spongebob Halloween special.
BUT, if he finds a really good silicone mask that looks mostly human, he will wear it for shits and giggles.
“I’m just bones underneath! Yohohohoho!”
Thinks that it’s peak humor.
He always parties hard and Luffy’s Halloween party is no exception.
He’ll bust out the new rock songs he wrote earlier that month and preform them for everyone.
Drinks a lot of booze and gets wasted.
Also gets a lot more vulgar.
But he keeps the mood lighthearted and cracks just as many jokes as Franky.
At some point does stand up comedy when he gets drunk enough.
It’s not bad.
Ends off the night with one final song before heading to bed.
Brook would say that his favorite Halloween treat is candy bones, but it’s really anything with peanut butter.
Tumblr media
Jinbe
Jinbe is also really neutral about Halloween. 
It isn’t really celebrated by anyone in the Fishman District, excluding a few young children who were fascinated by human culture.
It is celebrated in Ryugu, though.
When he first returned to Fishman Island, he was asked to participate in some of the Halloween activities.
He gave out either the best or the worst candy and didn’t dress up for it.
He doesn’t know what the point of Halloween is.
Doesn’t really get the appeal of the horror aspect of it, either. Why would you intentionally scare yourself?
He’ll still go with you to haunted houses and listen to you talk about anything horror-related, of course.
He prefers the Trick-or-Treating and costume aspects of the holiday. It’s kinda strange but cute.
Since this is his first time celebrating Halloween with you and the Straw Hats, you have to explain a few of the traditions to him.
In exchange, he shares some of the Fishman Island traditions with you.
Pumpkin carving/painting becomes a favorite activity of his quickly. Not only is it fun, but he likes the idea behind it.
He likes the outdoor activities, like picking out pumpkins at the pumpkin patch and bonfires.
Jinbe tells the best bonfire stories ever. They aren’t scary (that’s Robin’s job), but they are super entertaining and funny.
He sets a few marshmallows on fire, but not intentionally. Eventually he gets the hang of it and roasts golden brown marshmallows every time.
He gives them to you, Chopper, and Luffy since he isn’t the biggest on sweets.
He also likes going to the fall festival with everyone.
He goes on a few of the rides with you, but they aren’t his favorite things in the world. He prefers the games.
He is godly at carnival games. There isn’t a game that he can’t win.
When it comes to costumes, Jinbe doesn’t put much effort into them.
He usually just throws something together with whatever’s in his closet.
Doesn’t overdo it with accessories either.
Tbh he doesn’t know what he’s going for, he’s just throwing shit on that’s vaguely Halloween-esque.
“What are you, Jinbe?”
It’s whatever you think it is. You gotta use your imagination.
He participates in all the party activities, but he spends most of his time drinking with Zoro and talking to you about life.
He will start dancing once Franky gets on the floor. He’s a good dancer tbh.
He participates in a few of the games and activities at your request, but usually sits out.
Wins any card games.
He makes sure everyone is where they’re supposed to be and alive before he goes to his room.
Thanks you for a fun night before he goes to sleep.
Jinbe’s favorite Halloween treat isn’t much of a “treat”- it’s pumpkin soup. He likes how smooth it is and loves the taste of pumpkin.

I'm still thinking about OP werewolf au as my brain still has many thoughts on it and won't let them leave.
So my dilemma now is do I do two separate posts, one for Ace x Reader x Marco and one for Shanks x Reader x Beck
Or
I do have them all on one post and possibly be a long post.

Finally figured out how to ask a question on mobile cause I’m an idiot.
BUT!!
You’ve established that Brooks’ Occult storyline takes place as a prequel to the rest of the series, I was wondering (if it wasn’t spoilery) where some of the other plots take place in the timeline?
oh i love this ask...i actually have the OCCULT PIECE universe mapped out with three distinct eras into which i slot stories as they occur to me:
The Antique Era: The the town during its founding. Set in the distant past (1800s and prior). Only immortal characters or time travelers will appear in this era as well as in other, future eras. The Not-So-Distant Past: Likely the 1990s. Flip phones, landlines, limited internet access with dial-up modems. Most mortal adult characters from “The Present Day” are children at this point in history. The Present Day: Roughly set in the modern day (2020s). People have smartphones, social media, and easy internet access. But the use of it feels a little behind the times, as noted by some OCs who are new to town. People still read the paper and watch programmed TV. Cell reception isn’t always great in this part of the world due to supernatural interference.
there may be some distinct eras between the Not-So-Distant Past and the Antique Era but i haven't written any plots for them so i haven't bothered defining them yet LMAO (although the Great Void Fire referenced in Rumbar Boulevard happens between The Antique Era and the Not-So-Distant Past fwiw)
SO FAR we have only seen stories in the Not-So-Distant Past and the Present Day...here's the timeline thus far, featuring written fics and my many untitled WIPs:
Tumblr media
Untitled Buggy/Reader
Tumblr media
The House on Rumbar Boulevard (Eldritch Horror!Brook/Reader)
Untitled Mihawk/Reader
Untitled Shanks/Reader
Tumblr media
Untitled Pedro/Reader (bonus: this is a covid fanfic LOL)
Untitled Marco/Reader
The Most Coveted of Thrones (Demon!Doffy Reader)
The Beast Inside (Werewolf!Zoro/reader)
The Baker & the Beast (Katakuri/Reader)
Untitled Crocodile/Reader
Untitled Sabo/Reader
Untitled Smoker/Reader
Untitled Luffy & Reader (platonic)
DISCLAIMER: i am not entirely sure about the placement of some of these, as i could see certain stories taking place in other times, but...this is the timeline i'm currently working with
i guess this turned into a sneak peek for what i have planned haha...at some point i'll have to drop more hints about my plans for the reader characters
thank you for this ask!!!
