<insert break lol>

How did it get to this? "So cute like this, aren't you bunny?" he says, mouth by your ear. His chest is pressed against your back, holding you down over the edge of the couch. Your hands are bound, held above you by one of his own. "Ran!" you cry out, overwhelmed already. "Hmm?" He shifts slightly before tugging on the tail he has you wearing. "You want me to stop?" He kisses the back of your neck. "Thought you liked the danger? Isn't that why we're together?" "We're not!" "No? Then why are you begging for my touch? Why you dressed just like this for me? It is for me, isn’t it?” When you take slightly too long to answer, his hand smacks your ass, making you yelp. “Yes!” “Good,” he says against your skin. “You wanna play stupid? I’ll fuck the sense out of you. Come on, bunny, let me feel you."

I need to touch some grass.. yes.. grass 😫🫦

That’s his justification, the words he repeats every night when he pulls you into him. He just wants to protect you. It makes sense because the more you got to know him, the more you became aware of what kind of man he is. One that has enemies. The first attack left you racing to his arms for safety. The second had you moving in with him without protest. You don’t know that he’s orchestrated it, that his plan is coming together with more ease than any of his others. 

It makes sense to stay by his side. It’s not like he keeps you locked up. Tetta encourages you to go to a spa, to get any treatment done, and takes you out for dinner and to various events every chance he gets. But your friendships outside of his circle slowly start to crumble. An accident with your phone leaves you without contact information for most of them. Your social media accounts fall silent and slowly the only person you can truly rely on is Tetta. He keeps you tied to him, emotionally and quickly financially. He wants to take care of you, can’t you let him? 

The increase of rules is done slow enough that you don’t really notice how you’re becoming more isolated. Soon the events stop happening and Tetta admits he prefers the slow dinners at home with just the two of you, whether he doesn’t have to worry about either of you getting into trouble when he wants to devour you instead of whatever spread you’ve made or ordered. You love having his attention. You love being a source of peace for him. 

It becomes easy to ignore how the rest of your world fades away until there’s only Tetta. 

He’s doing it to protect you. That’s what he tells you each time you ask until you finally stop questioning it. It’s only to himself that he admits it’s to keep everyone else away from you. He already lost someone he aimed to marry to another. He won’t lose you too. 

I had every intention to do this for both Mira and Sun, but the brainrot is real and Mira's part got sliiiightly out of hand and I had to stop myself at right around the time that her father dies (22 years prior to the show) which means there's probably a lot more to say, but this got LONG... 😅

so here is a whole lot on our favourite Mary Sue and her flaunting herself at Shanks and Buggy 😈💜

Gol D. Mira - "Beyond the Horizon"

A baby girl

actual pirate princess and the apple of the whole crew's eye

Her favourite food is kimchi ramen and things that you miss first on long sea journeys like fresh fruit (her favourite is mango). She also has a sweet tooth and loves chocolate and cakes. Same ballpark - light weight as she is, she can drink with the best of them, very probably because of her Devil Fruit that comes with a side of extra endurance

Mira doesn’t get sea sick, she's been born to be at sea - which makes it extra sad when she learns that she can't go in the water anymore because she ate a devil fruit

since she grows up on her father's ship, the crew is pretty much made up of all uncles - except for two special boys

Her mother was expecting when Roger found infants Shanks and Buggy at God Valley (a few years earlier than they did in canon, simply because I want them to be older for obvious Nora Roberts Tribute Act reasons). He thought it would be great to have other children around once his "little mate" arrived.

He also didn't think this constellation would grow to come with complications when it turned out his little mate was a girl, but oh well ^^

For the most part of their childhoods Mira, Shanks and Buggy grew up like siblings probably would in a living situation like that.

But there were plenty of things that always served as reminders that they were not, in fact, siblings / the same. While they would share a lot of the chores on the ship, there were certain things (🤢 like scrubbing the toilets 🤢) that were simply not asked of the captain's daughter (she would still be a trooper and at the very least keep her boys company though) and she also had her own cabin on the ship whereas Buggy and Shanks slept with the crew. Naturally everyone was extremely protective of the captain's daughter in a way that the boys didn’t know and that suffocated her to a point that had her look to break away and ultimately lead to her kidnapping.

Things between the three start to change when Mira comes back after her long abduction. When she was taken all of them had been slap in the middle of their awkward teenage years - Mira was all comically long, skinny legs and a changing body she tried to hide in baggy clothes, the boys' voices sounded absolutely hilarious, Shanks was all extremities and knobby knees and it seemed that no matter what, Buggy wouldn't stop sweating. But now they're all grown up. Mira is devastatingly beautiful - curtesy of good genes, but also of that Mythical Zoan she had forced on her in captivity - Shanks is all tall and dreamy and poor Buggy doesn’t sweat as much anymore, but is pretty damn aware that he has mostly grown into the third wheel in this new explosive mix.

They are also not as tight knit anymore after Mira's return. The boys had to spent a long time without her and it turned out that she used to be the glue of their little group, which results in the boys' relationship being a lot more strained when she comes back. And no one really knows what happened to Mira when she was gone - not even herself, except for some flashes and nightmares - so a lot of effort is made to find out more about her Devil Fruit and its powers and to help her deal with whatever changes this brings. And she doesn’t want her boys to know about what she is now or what she can / might be able to do with it, so this puts a distance between them that wasn't there before.

and then "tragedy strikes" for the whole sibling dynamic - Mira and Shanks fall in love. And adventurous, happy go lucky Shanks for once is too terrified to do anything about it. Being in love with your Captain's pride and joy is scary enough as it is, but what would this do to their little found family of three? What if it doesn’t work out? What if it does? Mira on the other hand feels increasingly alienated from herself ever since her change and her feelings for Shanks are a lifeline in this, because they tie her to the Mira she was before and so when she realises that he has no intention to shoot his shot, her pride and stubborness get the better of her and she begins to come up with increasingly more infuriating ways to try and make him break first.

Eventually ofc they do end up together and are very much, very sweet and very... appealingly 😏 in love.

After some initial "how do we break this to Buggy?" drama the dust settles and to their dismay and mild annoyance, Buggy developes a devilish joy in trying to get the two of them caught.

He might or might not have "accidentally" started a fire during night watch in the hope that people would catch Shanks sneaking out of Mira's cabin when the alarm went off xD

“...You okay? You need anything?” He frowned slightly as he stood up. It occurred to me suddenly that he was taller than me. I was so used to being taller than others as Tammy. The girl towered over the other girls.

“It’s a day,” I said softly. “I’m gonna ditch for a bit. I’ll see you later.”

━ Tammy Thompson Takes on the Upside Down

So after reading asirenrage fanfic on a question I asked about “what if y/n was a preschool teacher at Kimetsu no academy?” I couldn’t stop thinking about more ideal stories about it. So I drew the kids in her class. And yes, their all from the manga/anime.

We have tanjiro’s little brother

Name: rokuta Kamado 

Age: 3 

He’d be very shy on his first day not knowing how to connect with the other kids. But over time he will adjust. Nezuko would walk him to his class every day since her classes were much nearer than tanjiro’s upper classes.

Name: Sayo

Age: 4 

She was the young girl Gyomei took care of back at the temple when he was younger. It is rumor she was 6 when the demon attack happened. But, she just seemed so young to me I had to include her in the class just because of how tiny she was.

Name: Koto shinazugawa

Age:2

He is the youngest brother to sanemi and genya. He is a little young for this group but let’s just say he turning 3 before September. (Lol) anyways he has a pretty normal schedule but loves nap time the most. Like genya he loves to sleep! Sanemi walks him to his class before he starts his lecture. Because he wants to make sure all his siblings get to class on time.

And finally….

This child’s name is unknown but will call her…

Name: Reiya 

Age: 3

If her mom’s name is rei, than her daughter will be reiya. There, problem solve. Muzan having a daughter gives me ideas about how he’s probably using her as bait to spy on the academy. Giving him a reason to drop her off at school everyday in a limo. Even though little reiya just wants to go to school to learn and have fun.

And there you have it! your Kimetsu no academy preschool class of the year. I guess what makes me sad is most of these children had tragic backstories. But that’s what’s fun for Kimetsu no academy there isn’t a tragic backstory. Everyone is living their normal lives and can finally live a happy life. Let the children enjoy their childhood. I drew them out cause I couldn’t help myself. Your free to believe what the teacher may look like but to me this is who she is.

If you guys want to see what asirenrage wrote here’s the link. Because none of this was possible without her.

4. Do you think you’ll stop writing for a fandom this year? Which one?

11. Would you like to try any new fanfic genres or tropes this year?

16. Do you have that one fanfic that you wrote a ton for, ages ago, but never posted? Will this be the year, come hell or high water, that it WILL get finished and posted?

3. Do you anticipate writing for a new fandom this year? Which one?

Well, my little brother is trying to get me to finally watch Star Wars (starting with Episode I and ending with Episode 6 since he hates the sequels) so who knows? There may be an iron-parkr Star Wars OC in the future!

4. Do you think you’ll stop writing for a fandom this year? Which one?

Going into 2024, I decided to take a look at all my OCs/fics and really be honest with myself about the ones I would actually end up putting time and effort into this year. So while I love all of my fics, I know I won't be spending much, if any, time on most of them, like my Gilmore Girls fic or my Stranger Things fic. They've never been a genuine priority for me, to be honest, not like some of my other OCs, and while it's sad to think they'll likely never be written, I know cutting down my fic "workload" will be beneficial in the long run.

11. Would you like to try any new fanfic genres or tropes this year?

I don't know if it technically counts as a genre, but I'd love to start writing and posting drabbles and little one-shots for my fics!! I feel like it'll be a fun way to explore my OCs more, plus more OC content is always a positive!!

16. Do you have that one fanfic that you wrote a ton for, ages ago, but never posted? Will this be the year, come hell or high water, that it WILL get finished and posted?

Hmm, that's a tough one. I feel that way about a lot of my fics, tbh, but I don't have one in particular that I've written enough to the point where I'd feel comfortable posting it (with editing ofc). I will say I'm determined this year to post at least the first chapter of Della Travers' fic, to update Aquila Black's fic, and to make some serious headway into other fics.

(My problem comes from my perfectionism and my crippling desire for everything to be as polished as possible. I'm sure I could post a bunch of fics' first chapters now, but I can't let myself because I feel I don't have enough written in advance/the chapters will inevitably require a rewrite and I don't want to put out anything that's not my absolute best, perfect work.)

Thank you for asking!!

And an even bigger shout out to karimac who is the most beautiful human beings on earth. Just so gifted in her story telling. And she always makes me smile and brightens my dad whenever she responds to something I post :)
