#nami rambles

Book review time (some spoilers ahead):

HOLY SHIT okay so this is amazing for the following reasons:

1. Very gay

2. The concept of Neverland as an imaginary construct created by incredibly traumatized real people as a form of escapism yet also as a tangible enough place for real time to pass while they’re there is FANTASTIC and also horrifyingly existential

3. POSITIVE 👏 TRANS 👏 REP 👏

4. Holy shit the ending like?? Emotionally destroyed me????? I’m so fond and have so so many feelings this is lovely

5. The way that fairies exist as these strange insectoid creatures who recycle into the earth and ritualistically consume trees to drain their life-forces in this universe is absolutely fascinating but also kinda offputting, 10/10 we need more of the fae being fucking WEIRD in modern media

6. Also!! Physically disabled character because Hook canonically was born with one hand (and we LOVE matching the prosthetic to the aesthetic✨🏴‍☠️🚣‍♂️)!!!

7. Homoerotic sword fights.

RULES: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

I saw this post by @stashoflostsouls and I've never done this before (and I'm terrified about sharing my silly words) but I thought it might be fun motivational... so here we go!! Feel free to join in or submit an ask!

Tagging @verladyweek because that's where most of the delicious prompts are that inspired almost all of these.

Here are the WIPs that are named something other than "document1" or "Note" (excluding the research proposal I am actively avoiding)😂

Falling for you

Matchmaker

you weren’t as smilily as usual, your laugh felt hollow as it didn’t ring out through the dining area of the sunny

your eyes didn’t shimmer like how they used to, more down cast than usual

you figure standing awkwardly behind the table as you carried your food, your seat calling your name as you just stared at the others before putting you plate on the counter and grabbing an apple and bread for the road.

she could just hear the silent apology you sent sanji as you slumped to your room.

the navigator quietly excused herself before following you, extra care being taken in to not disturb you as you silently closed the girls dorm room.

she expected a scream, a whimper, hell even a cry from the closed door. but she heard nothing over the ruckus of the other crew mates.

something wasnt right... something was wrong.

she felt helpless, she didn’t know what to do as you spent more and more time alone, isolated on your bed. she tried confronting you, asking if ‘ everything was okay’

but as usual you gave an excuse of “ i’m just feeling tired, that’s all. i’ll be better by tomorrow, i promise! sorry for making you worry! “

nami found it strange how you seemed to rebound almost instantly the next day. your smile wide and eyes doe like as you reacted with the more mellower crew members and not your usual trio of chopper, usopp and luffy.

nami noticed zoro giving you glanced as robin pulled her aside when you were talking with franky, eyes tired as he rambled on about his newest invention.

“ is it just me, or does y/n seem tired “

“ yeah, i’ve noticed that maybe a week ago. i’m not sure. they started to detach themselves from the group around that time and when i asked them about it yesterday they just shrugged me off and said they’ll get better... though they’re doing a bad job at them. pot things about to collapse “

but as night fell and you shared a few laughs with the crew at dinner, four pairs of eyes watching you as you mainly stared off at you food.

not even bothered to look up at the intruding crew mates, opting to run away from the situation instead as you said you’re going to bed.

though... to much surprise sanji was the one who silenced them all.

“ so you’ve noticed it too “

“ noticed what?” parroted luffy as he stared at his friends quizingly

“ y/n, they seem a little... strained if you would “ said brook who was sipping tea.

“ yeah, i noticed it a week ago, they seemed to be getting worse “ chopper said as his hooves

“ yeah, they’re not playing around with us anymore, it gets boringggg “ luffy dragged out with a whine , earning a slap from usopp and chopper.

“ is there anything we can do to make them feel better? it’s makes me suppperrr sad just watching them “

“i would just leave them alone, some people cope with emotion differently, and from nami told me, they’ve seem to be isolating themselves. so i think we should let them come to us while we still support them. “

the rest agreed at robin’s inquiry as nami continued to stare at the door, face scrunched and head scratching as the other continued to talk amongst themselves.

“ well i’m beat! see you all in the morning! “ she announced with a pep in her step as she made her way to their room.

but once there, she knocked gently on the door. the atmosphere much different than before as she opened up the door.

no light nor strawberry scented candle leaked out when she opened the door. though a lump in the covers gave way to allude your presence.

“ y/n, are you in here?”

no response

they must be asleep, she thought, closing the door silently as she tiptoed herself way in. praying rigid they won’t know she’s in there.

finally reaching her bed, she quietly as she can snuck into her covers, cuddling in close as she heard a quick sniffle.

then another one,and another one. and then what she was waiting to hear. a silent sob left her mouth as a symphony of cries filled the air. rustling the covers, she heard her crew mate this onto the bed as she continued crying.

whimpered apologizes leaving your mouth like prayers as your breathing got  ragged.

nami was frozen. she couldn’t do anything without making things worse.

so as her distressed crew mate continued to cry their eyes out on their pillow, nami was trapped there with them, her own heart clenching as her pillow dampened.
