he/him. Writes things. Zelda, One Piece, weird Folklore

Today was a mess, but I did my job. My boss is at the point of getting snippy in the e-mail chains. I am at the point where I skipped ahead to write the last chapter of my little, gay romance and now I'm going to watch TV.

Anyone want to pop open some Champagne and discuss with me how NaNoWriMo’s farewell letter is still full of shit?

🍾🥂🥂

anyways, better, more wholesome brook jokes to replace his thing with panties:

  • him and franky will turn a scene into a musical at random moments
  • his sense of gentleman etiquette is outdated and so he will do things like stand whenever a lady walks into a room, run over and pick up whatever a lady drops, and randomly help ladies across the street or help them out of a vehicle without warning. it’s only a little awkward on the ship but it’s mortifying in public. sanji tries his best to teach him modern etiquette but brook is scandalized by his cursing and how he smokes in front of ladies
  • people will talk to him for a while. he’s actually asleep.
  • he gets stabbed and freaks out but the sword has gone between his ribs.
  • franky’s tech fuckin blows his mind and from then on he assumes that any machine or weapon he doesn’t recognize does incredibly improbable things, or expects franky to have unreasonably specific gadgets for every situation. 
  • robin mentions important historical events, everybody turns to brook and asks if he remembers it. even if it happened 800 years ago
  • that’s all i can think of for now

-bonus for number two: Brook running off becomes so frequent that it gets to be a problem so they have to get one of those kiddy backpack leashes for him. Ussopp, Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper have to draw straws for it -bonus bonus: one time they forget it and tie one of Luffy’s arms into a makeshift harness for Brook -Brook is unreasonably upset that he can’t play the kazoo (no lips, yohoho…) -but he CAN fill up his brain cavity with nuts or beans and use it as a maraca or to bother Zoro or Nami or smuggle food past Sanji to Luffy -in fact hiding things in Brook’s skull becomes kind of a thing. Secret special map chart? Skull. Loose vivre card? Skull. Zoro’s sense of direction? Skull. Change of earrings? Skull. I’d say it’s handy but… (no hands, yohoho…)

HOW DID I NOT CONSIDER EVERYBODY USING HIS SKULL AS A CUBBY

IT WORKS AGAINST BAD GUYS BECAUSE THEY ALL THINK WOW THE STRONG CAPTAIN OR THE CAT BURGLAR HAS THE LOOT but no its in the communal cubby with these cool spices Sanji found and Zoro’s new tin of sword polish and Chopper’s snacks lol nobody will EVER suspect

-#3 bonus if he’s actually asleep while they’ve been talking for a while it turns into a game of how many x can I fit in his eye holes before he wakes up -“I’m so cool because I’m only 45 degrees!” Alternately if you’re not a dirty American and use Celsius like people with common sense “I’m so hot because I’m 45 degrees!”

you’re doing so good to my post i feel like i have to also do good, and also do good to brook, i don’t think i can come up with many more good skeleton japes but golly i have to try

  • someone suggests hiding something in brook’s chest cavity, he gets very shy and embarrassed. especially if they need to hide a really small kid. “brook, there’s literally nothing to see” “BUT IT’S SO FORWARD 
  •  at one point, everybody realizes that brook is light as shit and that means zoro can pretty much just launch him into space, cue everytime they have to infiltrate some base everybody turns to him. zoro stretches his arms. brook cries.
  • during one of their adventures, brook finds a skeleton and decides to bring it back. he leaves it around in any manner of poses and also in all manner of funny hiding places. it gets tossed overboard after too many times of mistaken identity and accidental jump scares.
  • he keeps turning poetry into songs instead, and it’s especially impressive when it’s free verse.
  • sometimes he tries to mimic sanji’s weird-ass leg poses behind him, and ends up doing it better without any fat or muscles or skin in the way, also his legs are way longer and it looks cooler. sanji says he’s not jealous, is actually super jealous.
  • at some point in the future he hangs a pair of spectacles around his neck and then every time he reads something he pulls them up to his eyes and acts like he’s really peering through them and it’s so obviously a set-up for a skull joke but he never fucking says it and it drives everybody crazy.
  • that’s all again

i n c r e d i b l e omg you’re doing amazing b I don’t have anymore at the moment except for one -they’re all talking about soup and Sanji mentions he makes broth by boiling bones and one by one they all look at Brook real considering like (Brook won’t come out of the crows nest for two days)

i reblogged this but i have additions to it so i’m reblogging it again bc id like to add

- Brook has no fucking clue what the Pirate King is. i mean, he spent 50 years in the fog. when he went in, Roger was just some rookie, i remember him mentioning once. as far as I can recall, no one ever explained to him what the Pirate King is. sure, someone could have done it over the timeskip, but why would they? after all, who hasn’t heard of the Pirate King? so,

When a commenter, in all sincerity and warmth, asks you for a sequel to a story you wrote a literal generation ago?

Yes, it's bemusing. Absolutely, it's tempting to gently guide them toward things written oh, say, *after* you stopped dating objectively abusive people and vomiting the results onto the page. But what it *truly* is?

Friends, we have undeniable proof, right there in our comment sections, that fancreatures are the most purely hopeful beings on this earth.

May we ever bless our communities with our eternally suspended disbelief.

Amazing, isn’t it?

I have received sequel inquiries about stories I wrote in the previous century.

Last line tag! Thank you @zeldaelmo

Rules: post the last line you wrote and tag as many people as there are words.

The last line I wrote is "He grabs his equipment and his laptop and chargers," which isn't any fun. So have this text conversation!

L🍖: Do you have a wife now? Zoro rolls his eyes. Z⚔️: The wedding is in a month He digs through the file Nami gave him. Z⚔️: May 3rd at 2:00 PM.  You all better show up U🪲: What L🍖: Will there be cake?  R🌸: Congratulations, Zoro.

I did the thing at work! I put the down payment on the solar panels! I sent the money! I’ve been looking forward to this moment.

And then everything was instantly on fire again.

The guy we JUST signed a contract with (the one who I just sent 10%) writes and says that they might actually raise prices and could we send the full 50% before they have to raise prices on us? 😨

The loan people wrote and said that due to their fuck up, they only got the documentation fee today and not last week, and our 45 days to closing will start now 😨

I cannot. Give me a break for four fucking hours!

Things currently cut from this "Footage not found" chapter in the interest of pacing:

  • Sanji has a cat. Zoro's irritated that he has yet to see pictures of the cat. Sanji's like How the fuck was I supposed to show you pictures of the cat without my phone? And Zoro goads him like You should have printed out pictures and brought them with you, clearly you are not proud enough of your cat son. And then Sanji just swears a lot.
  • Tashigi thinks a bunch of the women look alike, and had trouble telling them apart. They're all blond and have Oda-hot-girl-face. Especially weird because the two girls Kidd was dating look the same.
  • Nami has given most of the couples portmanteaus and exclusively refers to them as such.

Posting like the unhinged person I am.

5k in two day? Yes. I had a vision, damnit. Do you see my vision???

Serialized storytelling is not actually something I consider one of my skills. So, yes. Two chapters at once.

anyway going back to Pacific Rim, Jaeger pilots must go absolutely nuts for Pictionary. its a competitive sport to them, every time you get a group of pilots together for games night they're locked in an intense battle to see which team can be the most drift compatible. very serious business.

There’s the chronological order of things, the order they’ll show on the in-universe broadcast, and the order I’m presenting things in the story

Okay, so I honestly have NO CLUE what point of view to use for the next chapter.

It’s gonna be exciting
