slowly approaching bear
may I please request a doodle of the asl trio and acesan headcannons-
The doodle is in progress! In the meantime...
So Many Acesan HCs (a lot of these are inspired by @beeforce ilu kite)
- While Ace was traveling with the crew to Alabasta him and Sanji just sort of Clicked, spending ridiculous amounts of their free time chatting together for people who just met. Since both their sleeping patterns are unusual, it wasn’t uncommon to find them in the kitchen at the crack of dawn giggling over tea, Ace insisting on helping prep breakfast
- Ace is 100% Sanjis first crush on a dude so he had some processing to go through that’s a different wormcan
- Sanji was nervous but Absolutely got his number before Ace had to leave, and hogs the phone c o n s t a n t l y
- Lucky for him Ace calls, while inconsistently, for hours whenever he manages to get the time. They love to swap stories about the dumb things they’ve gotten themselves into
- Ace sends a BUNCH of ingredients and little trinkets whenever the crew actually knows where they’re going. While he finds little things for all of them, Ace specifically looks for the weirdest sounding teas and ingredients he can grab for Sanji to try. Whenever the packages get in and they manage to line up the time, the crew will call up Ace to catch up and do little unwrapping parties—
- But once they’ve settled down and the kitchen gets quiet, Sanji takes the time to puzzle the ingredients together while they idly chat, and steep the tea. Ace keeps some of the blends for himself after the joke that if Sanji was going to willingly eat whatever poison Ace picked up off the streets of god knows where, Ace had to at least be decent enough to go down with him
- They drink together, Ace cackling at some of Sanji’s over the top criticisms while he gets onto Sanji for being unwilling to try the ones distilled from peppers— just enjoying their connection across thousands of miles
- Usopp and Nami are the worst teases about Sanjis not so secret crush, regularly bullying him about staring wistfully into the sunset every now and then. Nami particularly loves to hear him go on romantic tangents because 1) it gets him off her back 2) she thinks it’s genuinely adorable 3) has Lowkey been in touch with Ace too so could use it as blackmail at any moment
- (Luffy meanwhile did not pick up on it until Zoro made a jab about it)
- Meanwhile some of the Whitebeard crew (esp Whitebeard himself) are half convinced Ace and Sanji are already engaged the way Ace tends to croon on about him
- Sanji actually asked Ace out before the other got the chance, on accident too, because Sanji ends most his calls with “Love you” by habit
- You wouldn’t think it off the bat but Ace is highkey Lowkey the more romantic of the two simply because he’s unabashed about his feelings + recognized them for what they are much faster
- Ace is very much accustomed to casual touch and being handsy as a form of love— they had to work out boundaries quickly. Sanji just isn’t used to nonviolent physical contact from other guys. Though being around Luffy and Usopp has helped him relax a bit, Ace is a whooooole other level of PDA
-Since Ace has sooooome (just a feeeew) self worth + rejection issues, he took Sanji getting tense and unresponsive to his more forward flirting harder than intended n was moody for a bit. But they worked it out after some difficult conversations. Ace wants him to be comfortable as much as he wants to show his affection and Sanji more than makes up for his awkwardness in public by being a total cuddlebug when they’re alone
- Now /later/. Whoo boy later. When Sanji is confident in himself and Ace is secure in the fact that Sanji loves him and isn’t lying. They are. The MOST OBNOXIOUS couple
- Always have to be touching somehow, Sanji is really fond of sneaking a hand into Ace’s back pockets while Ace is all but draped over his shoulders, Ace using him as a chin rest frequently while they argue over little things
- U would not believe they’d only been dating for a few months they fit together so easily
- Ace is really fond of nicknames and calls Sanji all the classics like babe/darling/hon— but some of his faves are snickerdoodle, lemon / tart, and sugarsnap
- (He defiantly greets Sanji with a regular “Howdy stranger” thank you @cowboyzoro)
- Sanji is the opposite— when he’s being sassy or teasing he likes to use a sharp ‘Portgas’, but he manages to fit so much love and affection into such a short name that Ace is overwhelmed every time he says his name untethered
(Sanji: yeah I was chatting with ♥️♥️♥️♥️Ace♥️♥️♥️♥️ and—
Usopp: how the fuck did you do that with your mouth)
- He did spend a week or two trying to come up w something cutesy but realized that he likes Ace’s name just how it is
- (Tho Ace also really likes when he gets affectionally insulting + is impressed by his creative curses)
- Ace got Sanji the gentlecook shirt— he also likes to snatch it back time to time because Sanji gets occasionally grumpy that Ace owns no hoodies for him to steal. The shoulders have become very stretched out
- Whenever Sanji gets cramps Ace is his living hot water bottle—
- Ace frequently compares him to a cat because he runs cold and is constantly trying to steal Aces warmth either way
- They like. Planning impossible missions together just as thought exercises. Ace has drawn up actual maps and plans of attack for some of the biggest banks in the 4 seas just cause he and Sanji were bored
I have. So many AUs with them too. Including but not limited to:
- Modern College AU of course, where they’re long distance flirting. Both can’t decide if it’s too early to travel a few thousand miles to make out (and other hard choices)
- TattooArtist!Ace where Usopp *really* wants a piece done by a popular artist outside of town, but is too chicken for the needles. Sanji agreed to go with him as morale, planning on getting something small and stupid just so Usopp will feel better, but somehow ends up planning a whole sleeve just so he can keep visiting the cute artist
- A timeline in which Sanji could not escape his fate as a Vinsmoke and became an assassin— only he finds himself unable to carry out his mission when he meets the infamous pirate prince
- CANT say no to a good ol camp councilor AU— this ones mostly for ensemble shenanigans and Nami being mischievous
I always wanna rant about hcs + dumb AUs so hmu anytime
One thing that’s easy to miss regarding all the Todoroki family drama is that the abuse was never actually covered up.
I know the fandom popularized this concept, because it just makes sense that it would be, right, with Endeavor’s position and what we know about the HPSC corruption. Except… Canon actually hints in the opposite direction.
- There is a plaque right outside of Rei’s hospital room that reads “Mrs. Todoroki”. She’s been there for so long that the room is marked as hers for all the hospital personnel to see. Yet no one questions it.
- Her doctor knows about Endeavor’s abuse because they suggested that Rei isn’t ready to see him yet. And they did nothing with this information. Yes, I know that confidentiality is a thing, but. They also allowed Enji to leave apology flowers even when they know that Rei is still terrified of him 10 years later. The doctor knows Rei’s condition and her improvement, but they don’t know jack shit about Enji’s “atonement” or how trustworthy his change of heart actually is. As far as the doctor knows, those flowers might’ve been an abusive tactic to get Rei to forgive her abuser and continue abusing her. Bc that’s what happens in real life. Yet the doctor didn’t oppose this. Supposedly because Endeavor is a hero.
- Shouto wasn’t homeschooled like the fandom seems to perceive as canon. He went to school regularly. We have pictures of kindergarten and middle school. Which means that no teacher ever noticed the bruises. No teacher questioned the burn scar on his eye, despite knowing that Shouto is a fire user. No teacher ever questioned his open hatred for his dad.
- just because none of the Todoroki talks about it, it doesn’t mean that they’re trying to hide it, either. Fuyumi talked openly about her brother’s death and his father’s involvement in it with minimal prodding, like she just assumed that Shouto had talked to them about it.
- Last but not least, Endeavor still doesn’t really recognize what he did as abuse, as shown by how clueless he still is about Natsuo’s feelings. He thinks it was just a “mistake” that he can fix by being slightly less controlling. But his ignorance on the matter tells us that he wouldn’t have covered up after himself, because he never perceived any of those things as crimes. After all, their society is firmly based on the violent takedown of those arbitrarily labeled villains. Endeavor is a hero, so it’s his status alone that prevents him from actually seeing the reality of what he’s done. Heroes don’t do “crimes”. They make “mistakes”.
- society itself is very apologetic and forgiving of the abuse of power carried out by heroes. No one actually thinks that heroes can do wrong, or not help others. There’s multiple examples of how this mindset leads to crimes hidden in plain sight. Like Tenko’s abuse. Like Shigaraki threatening Izuku in a packed mall without anyone noticing that anything was wrong. Even with the evidence of Hawks’ own murder, Tokoyami forgave Hawks and told him that what he did was right. Society turns a blind eye to everything that doesn’t quite fit with what they perceive as an utopia. This is a theme in bnha.
So basically.
We really should stop saying that Endeavor (or the commission) covered up the abuse, because that takes away from the actual narrative at play here: there is no cover up. There was never a need for it, because in hero society things like what he did get routinely brushed off without any external input. And that’s exactly the problem.
I believe this is how the conversation will have happened?
i wanted to do an expression meme for a loooong time and people kept asking me to do this as well so,,, here !!!
Fanfic prompt:
Everyone/Tony naturally. (Cap and Loki are acceptable as long as they dont win..) Reverse Scott Pilgrim vs the World (The world vs Jarvis)… The world must defeat Tonys ‘evil‘ butler in order to win Tonys heart. -Tonys too distracted by his pets and Jan to even notice his would be suitors.
Bill Nye for most of his career: Imma do science for kids. Science without politics. Nice, tame science for the kiddos.
Bill Nye now:
Morgana is annoying,the worst mascot character,and he's pretty much the reason why people hate ryuji. Since they would rather side with a dumb cat than an "annoying teenage boy"
If you love Iron Man
BECAUSE
MAN
THAT CREATED IT
