It is now meterologically summer. Tomorrow's predicted temperature is 26°C (81°F). The little thermometer on the shelf by my desk says 26.5. I'd rather be cold, thanks -- it's easy to put layers on. Probably time to fold up my blanket.

Our flight back from Hamburg on Monday was 45 minutes. We spent at least that long waiting for our wheelchairs in Schiphol. The con was worth the trouble travel, but it might be too much for me next year. I'll be 80 by then. And between trigger finger, stiffness, and lack of practice, my hands weren't in any shape to play more than one or two songs per day on average, and I have to plan for the possibility that it won't improve much -- I may have to re-learn keyboard. It's only been 60-odd years...

See Saturday for the following quote: "See a provider if you’re feeling pain that lasts more than a few days without getting better." Um... how many months has it been?

Linkies: bad news first: The United States loses its status as a liberal democracy. Will probably go unreported by US mainstream media.

Then the corresponding good news: The EU Is Going Through a Trump-Fueled Breakup With Big Tech For obvious reasons.

Dad coming over today.

It's weird to think that's just a few hours from now my dad is going to be over here. Patrick's parents are coming over too, and his dad is going to bring a strimmer to cut the front garden's grass down. I told Patrick I'd rather us leave the back garden for now for the bees (we have a lot of wildflowers growing back there!).

Patrick has not started this 'cleaning' he speaks of yet, but as mentioned, I'm working on not worrying about it and instead, if he continues going down this road, I will be working on buying him out of the house. Then I could turn that room into an office and guest room, and not feel like it's unfair when I'm cleaning the house, weeding, gardening, or repairing/improving/maintenance things on my own.)

Anyway, the time before my dad gets here gives me about five hours - in my cleaning terms, up to 5 loads of washing - to work on the house before my dad arrives. Really, I just need to wash my other set of bed-sheets, vacuum my room, take out some rubbish, and deep-clean the bathroom (it is clean, just not deep-cleaned). I'll have to go over the house with a vacuum again, because, well, Jake and I just bring in grass from our daily walks.

One of the long-items in my to-do list is to get a mud-room out at the front (basically, an indoor patio area) to store our shoes. But, that would be after re-levelling and paving the garden.

Aaaaaanyway. I'm excited about getting dad, but my main goal list today is:

- Give Jake a bath/clean his ears.
- Start the bed-sheets (today is warm weather meaning it can air-dry, part of why I'll be washing Jake first.)
- While that is going I'm hoping to get the downstairs vacuumed (again), my room fully tidied and vacuumed, possibly manage to get the glass clean, beyond not having a place for Jake's toys yet (when I get tools, I'm thinking I will build a toy box.)
- Next load - bathroom. Like I said it has been cleaned, but, I'm hoping to give it a detail clean. I didn't do it yesterday because I'd found some water at the corner of the shower enclosure again, so I'd tried putting down some new grout. If I still see water outside the tray, I'm getting a second opinion from a new plumber because I can't find a hole in the grout anywhere.

I did get rid of the big rosebush yesterday, and Patrick's dad will bring the strimmer, so the grass out front will be cut. I haven't gotten the house soft-washed yet, I've been told that will be £500. So that's a few months down the road unless I get a job that pays more along the way, especially because Patrick seems to refuse to understand how the breakdown of the house goes.

Basically, I'd said moving in we should pay £450 each to cover mortgage, rates, internet, oil, electricity, insurance, minor repairs and cleaning supplies.

Which I'd say is a decent breakdown:

£900-515-50-50-50-50-80= £135 to work with, give or take.

The problem is he keeps thinking that there should be hundreds of extra pounds per month in there. He keeps going 'Oh, just take it from the Halifax' regarding the bathroom fan, the guttering, and the PIV which I put on my card because I didn't want us getting damp and mould before we could do further house remedials. I'm supposed to be able to take £200/month, which obviously I can't because there's not enough in there.

Cleaning supplies? Halifax. Well obviously that can be 20-40 a month depending on what's needed.

Let alone small repairs!




When we talked about buying the house and I went over these numbers, it was just for the above items. Not hiring a cleaner. Not home improvements. Not major repairs. Not education on home maintenance to reduce costs via DIY-ing the small stuff.

It's one of those things, again, where I'm going to have a talk with him because he's being financially utterly obtuse. At previous houses the rent didn't cover utilities or cleaning supplies, so of course it's more money than when we were renting.

Guardian recs (of my own fic)

[personal profile] tinypinkmouse

I was browsing my own fic (because I'd once again forgotten about something I'd written and was taken by surprise by my own fic) and thought: "hey, why don't I make a rec list of my fic?" Because I have a lot of fic (Guardian especially), I like them, and I want other people to read them, so why not? Since there really is a lot of them, I'm picking a theme just to narrow it down. If you have ideas for other themes/topics let me know and I can maybe give it a try. If this turns out well, I'll definitely make more rec lists of my stuff.

So, this time it's different first meeting, and I'm sticking to five of my favourites to keep it manageable. In no particular order, five of my own Guardian fics that I'd recommend:

The Rooms Were So Much Colder (16885 words) | Mature | Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Summary: It sounds so—stereotypical. Zhao Yunlan, oh yeah, right. The angry teenager.

What if Zhao Yunlan first met the Black Cloaked Envoy a lot earlier, and in very different circumstances?

Reasons for reccing this: If you've ever noticed that I have a thing for making teenage Zhao Yunlan meet Shen Wei, well this is where that thing properly started. It was my third Guardian fic, and it still stands out as one of my favourites, so hopefully other people will still like it too. Also it does have two sequels, and I've had a document with random notes about what should happen next ever since I posted this back in the day, but nothing actually concrete, I'm still kind of hoping one day I'll manage more. And what better way to start thinking about it than hopefully someone wanting to talk about it.

Accidental Meeting (19097 words) | Teen And Up | Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Summary: It's Zhao Yunlan's own fault that he ends up stranded on some small nowhere road, with a bike that won't start and an ankle he probably shouldn't walk on. Summoning the Black Cloaked Envoy to help is probably a really bad idea.

Reasons for reccing this: I'm quite proud of it. Zhao Yunlan has gotten away from living with his dad, but only because he's studying and dorms exist. It doesn't actually feature Zhao Xinci in person, but it does feature all the effects his brand of parenting has had on Zhao Yunlan and how that affects his meeting the Black Cloaked Envoy and the relationship that starts growing out of that. I really think I did pretty good with Zhao Yunlan's POV here. Also the first meeting is funny, and I'm very proud because humour is hard.

A World of Its Own (38986 words) | Explicit | Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Summary: It's a stupid idea, but applying to a Dixingren university means Zhao Yunlan can say goodbye to any plans Zhao Xinci had for his future. And that has to be worth it, right? He really doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps.

Reasons for reccing this: It's my one and only college AU (well sort of AU, it's still canon universe, just with one significant canon divergence thing happening pre-canon, since there are universities specifically for Dixingren on Haixing). This is very self indulgent (and that's a lot harder than you'd think) and quite heavily inspired by my own uni experiences (also rather hard because I kept starting to do research, and then telling myself, "no, I'm applying my own experiences here"). I realise this is probably not exactly selling the fic, but I promise I do actually think it's good. It was a challenge, but I had so much fun writing it and I hope that comes across in reading it. Anyway, if you want to read about Zhao Yunlan's uni experience that's a mix of what I assume would be canon adjacent, and a very personal nordic uni life, then this is the fic for you. Oh yes, and Zhao Yunlan meets a very hot and slightly mysterious Professor.

Shen Wei Is Not a Disney Princess (12625 words) | General | Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Summary: Zhao Yunlan gets lost and finds a cabin in the woods.

Reasons for reccing this: It's silly and funny and sweet and I love it. Because sometimes you need a canon divergence fic where nothing bad happens. Shen Wei lives in a cabin in the woods and talks to animals a lot (he just needed a bit of time after he woke up, and then it accidentally turned into a lot of time). Inspired by my dad.

Late-night Call (3482 words) | General | Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Summary: Zhao Yunlan gets drunk and summons the Black Cloaked Envoy
.

Reasons for reccing this: This fic was entirely brainstormed and outlined in one of the Guardian discords back in the day (I miss those days). I have very fond memories of the process and the results. And the idea of Zhao Yunlan basically drunk dialing the Black Cloaked Envoy who he's never met is just hilarious. More seriously, I have some issues with writing about alcohol, but this turned out to be a fun challenge, and I do like how drunk!Zhao Yunlan turned out, leaning a bit more on the humour side of things than anything else.

I got my hat back!

Got up at 9:00 and had breakfast and coffee. Showered and dressed, was running a little late but my bus was just pulling up as I got to the stop, so I made the meeting on time.

Since I had been told the last place the hat was seen was in the kitchen cabinet near the microwave, I looked there. Then all the other cabinets. Nope. So I gave up and went to my seat.

Where someone said "Is that your hat?" and indicated the table next to ours. And sure enough, just sitting there, was my hat!

I have no idea where its been on its travels since it disappeared, but I am very glad to have it back.

Anyway, the meeting was very good. Afterward I told S that I wasn't going to the diner, and headed over to [personal profile] mashfanficchick's.

On the way I stopped at Duane Reade and bought a Happy Birthday bag for zer presents (which I brought with me) and a card.

The weather was icky, but I had my umbrella and my hat! I got t0 [personal profile] mashfanficchick's ze was sleeping but Mandy was awake. I hung out til ze woke up, and then gave zer my presents. Then the three of us talked for awhile.

Mandy left for her play that she was going to, and [personal profile] mashfanficchick and I hung out waiting for the sushi we ordered.

We ate when it came, and we were going to watch Will Trent, but ze said ze wanted to take a nap, and I should Team ti FWiB from my phone and then get zer up after.

So I Teamed the FWiB and we had a very nice time. But [personal profile] mashfanficchick was so deeply asleep that I couldn't get zer up.

So I fiddled on my phone and waited for either zer to wake up or Mandy to get back. Mandy got back, amd said she didn't feel great and wanted to go to bed so I said goodbye and Ubered home.

When I got here something weird happened. I was standing outside the front door and getting my keys out when the door started buzzing like I'd used the fob. Or like someone had buzzed it from inside. So I opened it and went in. It stayed buzzing for a long time, past when I checked my mail and opened my own door.

So I don't know what's going on with it. If it breaks again and is open for months like the last time I shall be mightily pissed.

Anyway, I came in and fed the pets, and started here.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. My meetings and the people there.

3. My hat came back.

4. Roses.

Old skills

I recently decided to clean up some files. Specifically some video files. A long time ago, I'd been converting some files from their existing formats (which didn't play correctly on some devices) to .mp4 files.

Thing is, I'd converted a bunch but hadn't gotten around playing the converted version to check that the new versions worked.

So I have an unknown number of supposedly fixed files, and the same number of ol.d files that need to be replaced.

But since I'd been converting files from several different directories, pairing things up is more than a bit complicated The one thing I *do* know is that the new versions have the same name as the old versions, but with .mp4 added to the old file name.

So "all" I have to do is get a listing of *all* the files on the disk in question (almost 4 TB) and look for files with almost the same name. No problem at all, right?

Grabbed this from [personal profile] althea_valara because you know I love female characters.

Pretty much any fandom in my profile or tags is fair game, with the caveat that if it's something I only briefly engaged with I probably won't have much to say. Alternatively just look at my fanlistings for ideas since those are all things I'm still fannish about.

Feel free to comment with multiple characters!

I got up at 10:00 this morning, had breakfast and coffee, and really did very little all day.

I eventually took a shower and dressed, but nothing but play solitaire and putter on the computer tl I left for my Al-anon meeting.

The bus trip into the Bronx was OK except the first 25 drove past the stop without stopping and I had to wait for the next one. But I got to the Bronx pretty quickly.

I had pizza for dinner first as usual and then went to my meeting. It was very good.

Then M drove me to the bus stop and the 50 bus actually came on time!

Got to Linden and 31st, and the 61 came before the 25 so I took that. No problem this time (if you recall the last time I took the 61 he skipped two stops and I had to Uber home.)

Got home and teamed the FWiB. All well. We talked not quite an hour.

Then I texted [personal profile] mashfanficchick to call me, and ze did, now I'm waiting for zer to call me back to make plans for tomorrow, which is zer birthday.

That's about all.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. My meetings and the people there.

1. Mother won't stop bugging me about finalizing a will.

Mother is like a dog with a bone about my will. Every other month - she'll harp on it. Latest? Telling me horror stories about her friend's children who don't have wills.

mother drives me crazy about the damn will )

As an aside? It's not like I haven't drawn one up yet or investigated it. Read more... )

As I attempted to explain to Mother - I only procrastinate about things I don't know what to do, or how to make them work. Also dealing with my brother makes me crazy.

Sigh. Hell is other people.

2. Should we be permitted to critique and analyze and/or review fanfiction (and/or fanworks)? Or is it understood to be off-limits by polite society?

There is an on-going argument about whether people should be "permitted" to critique and/or review fanfiction. And how fanfiction should be either protected, shielded, or off limits to any and all sorts of criticism. (ie. We must protect fanfic writers, who just want to have fun and not create anything of lasting impact or value.) - that's not quite a direct quote but close of a fan and former editor on Threads. [I'd tell you who - but I can't spell the name, or find it again. It's Threads.]

This begs the question? If criticism or reviews are off limits for fanfic, then are kudos or positive feedback off limits too? Should we just pretend it doesn't exist, and not respond to it at all? Or is only validation and supportive kudos permitted?

The latest spiel about how it should be off-limits to any and all sorts of criticism came once again from the Buffy fandom (do other fandoms do this? I presume so? But I'm not certain?) and it was on Threads. (This individual thought of themselves as old school fandom - since they went all the way back to the dark ages of 2007. I thought, no, hon, that's not old school fandom. Old school fandom is the 1960s with Star Trek and Doctor Who, before you could post a fic to over a million readers on the internet. Back then, they published it in fanzines handed out at conventions. (I found this out from Star Trek and Doctor Who fans.). And old school Buffy fandom goes back to the late 1990s and up to roughly 2004, when the show was airing live. You're not that old. (Not that old school fandom doesn't necessarily agree with your sentiment - the last argument I had on the topic was with someone twenty years older than me, and who dated back to the dark ages of fandom - 1960s Doctor Who.)

I flirted with responding and chose not to - it wouldn't end well. (Been there done that...back when I actually bothered to review and critique it. I don't do that any longer - either.) It never does end well. Note: Never argue with someone on Threads, Twitter, Bluesky or on social media who is in sermon mode or rant mode or on their holier than thou soap box - it won't end well. I have the battle scars to prove it.

But it is something I want to discuss? Preferably not with someone who feels strongly about it? (I don't read or critique fanfic any longer folks, I can't remember when I last critiqued or reviewed it? It was THAT long ago. And the folks whose fanfic I did critique? Are long gone from Dreamwidth and the fandom. So, even if I disagree with you? I'm hardly a threat.)

Should critiques of Fan-fiction be Permitted Online? )

3. Barnes and Nobel announced it would sell AI Books. And the internet along with various co-workers have been debating whether they should boycott Barnes and Nobel. (Poor B&N, just when they had made a comeback and were seen as the golden child in comparison to evil Amazon. Although, I've got news for people - AI written books are most likely in Amazon, and various independent bookstores as well. They aren't that selective on the books they sell us.]

To be fair, that's not exactly what they said?
Read more... )
[Cubicle aisle mate and I decided we weren't going to exactly boycott B&N, just not buy as many books there. We'd both started buying them again, because we'd learned we didn't own them on the kindle.
Read more... )
I think there's a high possibility people will buy them. There's a lot of books out there that kind of written that way already, formulaic and paint by numbers.

4. Actors and AI (And James Marsters' sexy Spike as a Rock and Roller video)

I can see why Actors fear it - it's relatively easy to grab an actor's likeness and enhance it with AI or alter it, or have AI take over. I see it on Facebook and Instagram constantly.

Heck, James Marsters recently put out a music video of his band's song, Civilized Man, where he's playing the guitar shirtless, and looks 35 years of age. I'm willing to bet he used AI? Even though it comes with the disclaimer that this video used no digital effects. (So maybe not?) I wonder why he didn't do it while he was playing Spike? Whedon probably wouldn't let him? Or it never occurred to him? He really should do the Bruce Springsteen's "Fire" song in Spike get up.

James Marsters playing Spike as a Rock and Roller in Civilized Man )

Proving that he'd have no problems coming back as Spike in the Buffy Reboot. Annoying me all the more with the missed opportunities. I really wanted rock star Spike. Even as just a cameo.

At the very least AI may wreck havoc on the plastic surgery industry.
It works better on film than plastic surgery does.

larissa: (FFXIII ☄ ⌈Lightning ; flash & fade⌋)
[personal profile] larissa

a round-up of things that have been on my mind of late.

despite my best efforts otherwise, i've been spending a lot of time playing final fantasy xiv this week. ffxiv stuff )

i've also been getting back into figure collecting recently. i never really stopped, but i definitely wasn't paying as close attention to the figure market as much as i was in 2018. back then, i would spend hours browsing myfigurecollection while procrastinating my writing goal. (i wrote 1,000,000 words in 2018; i went slightly insane during the process.)

anyway, i didn't really have space for all my figures in my old apartment, so after i moved i planned to get new shelves to display them properly. now that i have said shelves i've been unpacking all of my figures... i have more haikyuu!! nendoroids than are reasonable to own, but i was missing two of the core team, so of course i needed to buy those. then i snagged an edward elric i didn't have for a good price. then i fell in love with this sakura miku so i had to get her...

and all this after paying for my preorder of gsc lightning, which set me back more than expected (even with the weak yen) due to Fucking Tariffs. i paid for her at the start of april and i still don't even have a shipping number because i chose the (cheapest) shipping option, which takes months to deliver...

and every day new things get announced!! and i want them!! IT'S A STRUGGLE. right now my next priority is adorable arts lightning because i bought the cloud and tifa from this line a while back and they're surprisingly well made for square enix in-house figures. usually square has so-so quality at best, but this line is really well done and they're a nice size (a little bigger than nendoroids). unfortunately i have no idea where to get this lightning for an affordable price... i used to import directly from japan (see above re: weak yen) but seriously tariffs can fuck the hell off. we'll see what i can find.

in recent years i haven't been great at keeping up with tv (too much time spent playing video games instead) but i do like watching things with friends. currently i'm watching black sails and witch hat atelier (back to back, hilariously) one night a week with friends. we've just started season 2 of the former, and it's excellent so far. flint is a fantastic character; i never know what the hell he's going to do next. as for witch hat i'm really enjoying it! we had to skip this week's episode so i'm a little behind, but coco is darling and i want to know more about qifrey. perhaps i'll read the manga once the anime's done.

i think that's all for now. until the next miscellaneous update.

I am very very wrecked (because of something I did on purpose which I hope was useful, but which I did knowing that it would burn all my spoons and crash me for several days).

If anyone would like to distract me by asking me questions about things I enjoy rambling about (see my DW for recent topics, as well as the perennial ones), PLEASE do so, I would be deeply grateful.

Sleep doctor again

I set my alarm for 9:00 which I didn't really need to do, but I got up and had breakfast and coffee and showered and dressed. Then I killed time til 11:45. My shipment of turtle food from Petco came.

Then I left for the sleep doctor. Got a 44 bus immediately, and took that to the 46. It was raining but not bad enough for me to get out the umbrella that I had brought with me.

Got the 46 and got off just before the bus turns onto Lakeville Road. Then rather than fuss with the N25, I got an Uber for the rest of the way.

I got there comfortably early, but was unhappily surprised when they said they didn't have any record of my appointment. I was upset. but they fit me in anyway. I think, judging by the other issues I've had and listening to them while I was waiting, that their office needs organizing better.

But anyway, I finally got to see the doctor, only a little bit late, and got the results of the sleep study. No big surprise, I have severe sleep apnea. Apparently I had 42 instances during the study. So, a CPAP machine for me.

She put in the order, and I should have it somewhere in a week to 10 days. Or at least hear from the company. And if I don't... I call them back and ask what's going on. Because sometimes things fall through the cracks. Which the doctor actually said. *sigh*

Anyway, I have a follow up appointment for two months, I had to make sure it was the week before I have scheduled Oldest Brother's memorial up at the cottage, which is July 18th. So it's July 9th for the doctor.

So then I walked the several blocks to the N25 bus. It was raining then so I did use the umbrella, but the rain slowly died down.

Took the N25, accidentally got off a stop too early, but it was no problem to walk to the 46 stop. Took that back to Main Street and got the 44. Took that home.

Got here and found to my surprise that my book from Barnes and Noble had arrived, Penric's Intrigues.

Set about trying to find what I was sure I had, two other Penric collections that I had gotten for Oldest Brother in the nursing home, and which I was sure I had kept and put in my shelves... but I can't find them anywhere. So I guess I let them go, which pisses me off. Of course I have all the Penric's on my Nook, but I wanted them in paper too.

[personal profile] mashfanficchick was texting, ze had issues with zer plane trip back today. Finally ze cancelled zer first flight which would have been to Atlanta, because zer second flight, from Atlanta to NYC, was cancelled. Instead ze is taking a more expensive direct flight tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll see zer on Saturday for zer birthday.

I Teamed the FWiB, and we talked for an hour and a half and a little bit more, because at 8:30 I called Middle Brother. He is fine, he went to 7'11 on Tuesday, which he enjoyed, and he's looking forward to a Memorial Day barbecue.

Then I had dinner, and went to the bedroom and played solitaire til pet feeding time. Then I fed the pets, using up the last of the older turtle food I had, and started here.

In Progress
'Kid' Pirates
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer & Commander Heat & Commander Wire
  • Kiddo Kaizokudan | Kidd Pirates

"Kid Pirates indeed. The lot of you are nothing more than overzealous toddlers."
Kidd & Killer get into some trouble when they cross the wrong old lady, and now their crew has to deal with the fallout.

the fighter still remains
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer & Shiruton "Victoria" Doruyanaika
  • Eustass Kidd & his mom Brichtrede
  • Eustass Kidd & Eustass Brichtrede & "Massacre Soldier" Killer

He's ten and he's in love.
Victoria is the divine incarnate, ineffability made flesh, and Kidd would worship at her altar until the oceans dried up and the world ended. His mother thinks he's being ridiculous, but Kidd will hear no blaspheme of the transcendent guardian nymph of Kutzk.

Kidd's world is about to be flipped upside down when the dark underworld Victoria moves about in comes creeping into the quiet life he and his mother have carved out for themselves.

Doldrum
  • Kiddo Kaizokudan | Kidd Pirates

Kidd has been an all or nothing kind of man his whole life. He filled his ranks with the same mindset - go big or die trying. At least, they'd all had certainly thought so, until the die part of die trying loomed over them, pushing them under the waves of the Grand Line in one last glorious blaze. The Victoria Punk - their home - burning around them, corpse slowly lost to the sea. But she gave up little parts of herself as life lines, flotsam rising to the surface for those not ready for the sea's embrace.

Ductility
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer

Ductility - A metal’s ability to be drawn, stretched, or formed without breaking.
the origins of the mask, and the start of a friendship that lasts a lifetime.

Feveruary
  • Eustass Kidd & his mom Brichtrede

He's not sure why it feels like he's still asleep, even long after he's woken up, tiny child body curled up under smelly blankets in a dingy back alley. He wonders where Killer wandered off to this early, his friend's body heat sorely missed in the dreary summer rain of Kutzk. The air is wet and cold and he reaches up to pull the blanket higher, water beading and rolling down the wool as he huddles under it. It keeps trying to slip off his left shoulder, the stub of his arm aching, partially the phantom pain that regularly haunts him, and then something deeper driven by the bleak weather.
Things are not what they seem when Kidd wakes up in the wrong place, the wrong time.

Gunpowder, Gelatin; Dynamite with a Laser Beam
  • Kiddo Kaizokudan | Kidd Pirates
  • "Massacre Soldier" Killer / MOB
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd / "Massacre Soldier" Killer
  • "Massacre Soldier" Killer / Other Men

AKA: 8 days to Rally [Redux]
Only one things changes. It shouldn't mean much, in the grand scale of things. One chromosome shifted. The story remains the same, the players unchanging in their roles. In every incarnation, Killer is Kidd's partner, and nothing will change that.
The story was already written. Their plight always set to follow this path. Nothing changes. Except...

Whiffs and Mulligans
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer
  • Eustass Kidd & his mom Brichtrede

Kidd & Killer met in 7th grade shop class. Two outsiders with nothing in common other than having no friends. Both new to the school, Kidd too young, Killer too old.
Maybe not friends, but its nice to have one class where not everyone actively tries to disclude you.
Chapters will likely be short, a class by class look as the two move though the school year.
no golf in this story outside the title. A mulligan is a free shot sometimes given a golfer in friendly play when the last shot was poorly played, and a whiff is when a golfer swings and miss the ball entirely.
Kidd is actually in the 6th grade, Killer in 8th. But they've both been given special permission to take shop.

Nested Vault
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer
  • Mugiwara Kaizoku | Strawhat Pirates
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd / "Massacre Soldier" Killer

hey what if my story 'adrift' went differently?  
Luffy and Co find a raft drifting on the seas. It's not exactly what they expected to find.

petite reprise
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & Monkey D. Luffy
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer
  • Roronoa Zoro & "Massacre Soldier" Killer
  • BlackLeg Sanji & "Massacre Soldier" Killer
  • Mugiwara Kaizoku | Strawhat Pirates

a petite reprise is a music term - its partial reprise (a repetition or reiteration of the opening of a song) that at the very end of a piece, repeating the final phrase with a little flourish. its also petite - small - in that they are once again.. well. Small.

Reposed Rebellions
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer & Shiruton "Victoria" Doruyanaika

  • Eustass Kidd & Eustass Brichtrede & "Massacre Soldier" Killer
  • Kiddo Kaizokudan | Kidd Pirates
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd / Monkey D. Luffy
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd / "Massacre Soldier" Killer

Reposed Rebellions is a 90's Rural/Western AU staring high schooler Kidd "Captain" Eustass & his best friend Kamazo "Killer" Bujin  
If Oda ever comes back to tell us if the Kidd Pirates have any survivors, maybe I'll come back and write an epilogue. Until then - what happens next is up to you.

Scream Together Songs Unsung

  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd / "Massacre Soldier" Killer
  • Papas (One Piece) / "Massacre Soldier" Killer
  • Hip / Hop
  • "Massacre Soldier" Killer / Other Men

Omega verse where the more rigid packs dynamics have started to break down, and a new kind of pack has started to emerge with the younger, newer generations; all omega or all alpha packs (with a scattering of beta caretakers in both). A 'verse where smell is stronger than sight, even down to the pups. Follow Pack Eustass as they claw a life for themsleves out of the city's trash
Do you remember when we used to dance?
And incidents arose from circumstance
One thing led to another, we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

South Bound Hearts
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer & Shiruton "Victoria" Doruyanaika
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer & Trafalgar D. Water Law & Donquixote "Corazon" Rosinante
  • Trafalgar D. Water Law & Donquixote"Corazon" Rosinante
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd / "Massacre Soldier" Killer

Its a light rain, warm fresh water splashing his face, the edge of a tropic storm building on the horizon. It picks at his memory, like a forgotten dream, a lullaby from the few calm points of his childhood; a point of peace where he knew he was going to die, but that was okay. He's thirteen again, and his world is ending, but it's okay, because he wasn't alone anymore.
Corazon is standing at the front of their tiny ship, staring out at the storm with a look of worry. He was just as Law remembered him, large and imposing as equal as soft and kind.
It was a nice dream to die in, Law supposed.
This loosely takes place after Blackbeard attacks the Polar Tang, but takes a sharp turn into AU after that. After being ambushed by Blackbeard, Law dreams of being 13 again, drifting on the sea in the last days he had with Corazon. But they end up on an island he's never seen before, lives tangling with children he's not supposed to meet for years to come, if ever at all. In the end, Law's now sure he's not dreaming, and might have a chance to fix everything. Or make it all so, so much worse.

Multi Chapter Complete
8 days to rally
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer
  • Denjiro | Kyoshiro/Hitokiri Kamazo
  • "Massacre Soldier" Killer / MOB
  • "Massacre Soldier" Killer / Other Men

There is something deeply wrong with his partner.
It's not just the wild hysterical laughter; though that no other sound has come from the man is still deeply disturbing. But its the way he leans into Kidd, touches him, vacillating between wanting to kill him or worship him. The walk out of Udon was like walking across hell, and the only solitary thing that seems to go right is that Killer knew where to go.
Kidd and Killer have just escaped Udon.

Adrift
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & Victoria Punk Klabautermann
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer

His head was pounding and he felt like he was going to vomit. The sun beat down on his face, the sea salt thick in the air, the waves uneasy under him. They were not violent, however, they were pitching much more than they should, and Eustass Kidd jerked awake in a panic.
Nothing but the ocean met his gaze.
post Chapter 1079 and Episode 1112.
His crew is gone. His ship, his home, is gone. Kidd is lost at sea, set adrift both literally and figuratively. At least he's not alone.

  • Kiddo Kaizokudan | Kidd Pirates & Mugiwara Kaizoku | Strawhat Pirates
  • Bepo & Penguin & Shachi & Trafalgar D. Water Law
  • Penguin & Shachi

Penguin & Shachi are here to rescue their captain from a marine base in town. Turns out, another pirate crew's been being held there already, and they've already tasted what lies in store for Trafalgar Law if his crew doesn't hurry.
please mind the tags. it's not a happy ending for everyone.


Law eats crow
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & Monkey D. Luffy
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer & Commander Heat & Commander Wire
  • Commander Heat / Commander Wire

I apologize to Law for giving him open-mouth insert-foot disease for this one. Kidd just brings out the absolute worst of him.
Sometimes, you run into issues on how to refer to different languages in a source material that is different than the language you are creating in.
Mandate - English| Latin-script alphabet {World Government (and Marines) Enforced}
Common - Japanaese|Mixed scripts of Kanji and Kana
This started while I was doing Gàidhlig exercises. It would bleed over into quite a few of these pieces this summer, but here's the one that started it. Mostly started with the idea of bored Kidd (who Oda says would be Scottish if from our world) teaching Luffy Scot Gaelic|Gàidhlig while in Udon. Luffy is definitely pronouncing that wrong.
Internet provided translations for everything else.

Machine of a Dream
  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer

In some scifi 'verse, tween Kidd finds a Soldier Unit Machine in the scrap yards he frequents. Its a great find, and he's excited to strip it for parts.
Turns out, it's still more functioning than anyone realized
the people machine!Killer talks about are from my 2024 Kikitober

  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & Kiddo Kaizokudan | Kidd Pirates

After fleeing Blackbeard, Law & Bepo have been rescued by the Strawhats. Luffy is more than happy to help Law find his ship and crew, but his crew rightly points out that finding a submarine under the water is a big ask. If only there was someone they knew who could find large metal things and easy move them around. Possibly bring a sunken sub up to the surface with his magnetic abilities.
So they detour to hunt down the Kidd Pirates. Unfortunately for Law, Shanks found Kidd first.
kind of abandoned. Sorry. I wasn't sure where i was meaning to take it anymore.
sandbox is open if someone else wants to play with it.

After the Raid on Onigashima, Ikkaku - Sole woman of the Heart Pirates - takes it upon herself to check on the other women that fought in the Raid. It was an olive branch most accepted. She's got one group left on her self-imposed list and she was not prepared.
>>tentatively not being updated because while i know where I want it to go, i don't have a good enough handle on the minor kidd pirates characters needed to get it there yet.

Space Punk

  • Eustass "Captain" Kidd & "Massacre Soldier" Killer & Commander Heat & Commander Wire

"Wire to KiKi?"
The radio called out a third time, only dead air in response back.
Stationed outside of the asteroid field, the Victoria Zeta drifted. She was on a skeleton crew for this run - the task retrieving lost cargo instead of their usual mining operations.

One Shots & Stand Alones
From a now defunct discord convo back in april, where my friend pondered:
Thinking about Killer wearing makeup 'cause he's "working" as prostitute and gets paid for it more/gets more "customers" and Kid copies him thinking makeup is cool ... Or .... Kilkil wore makeup for the same reason/he thought it was rad and cool and got beaten badly -> Kid starts wearing makeup too and beats the shit outta Killer's attackers
so i wrote a short drabble expanding on the idea for them

Burning
Eustass "Captain" Kidd, "Massacre Soldier" Killer, Heat (One Piece), Wire (One Piece), Charlotte Oven, Charlotte Snack,

Exploring some headcanon reasons for Killer's look post time skip. Takes place roughly at the beginning of the time skip or just right before things pick back up with Luffy in Sabaody, with the coda during the fish man island arc, setting up for punk hazard.

Caidreabhas

- i don't remember where i was going with this. I may end up reworking it later

Ce que j’ai fait, ce soir-là
"Massacre Soldier" Killer, Heat (One Piece), Akagami no Shanks | Red-Haired Shanks,

Kidd is a bit of a Schrödinger's cat in this bit; The rest of the KP crew have been rounded up by Shanks and Crew, but Kidd was not found.
Aimless little drabble. More of a character study. I dunno. Killer's head in is a bad place and he will do anything to keep his remain crew safe - even at the cost of his own sanity it seems.
Some SA is implied from Killer's time as Kazamo, and there is some crude moments where shanks wants to see how far KP crew will go to keep each other safe. was not sure how to tag that one.

Clang, Ding, Zing
Eustass "Captain" Kidd, "Massacre Soldier" Killer, StrawHat Luffy, Trafalgar D. Water Law,

Still, it surprised him when Kidd approached him first, a thick pad of blank newsprint that Law hoped he'd gotten permission for before liberating from Franky's workshop. Kidd dropped the heavy booklet on Law with no preamble.
an *extremely* short snippet of two very much down on their luck pirate captains dealing with their recent losses. More light-hearted than it sounds.

Clash of Blades
"Massacre Soldier" Killer, Komurasaki | Kozuki Hiyori, Denjiro | Kyoshiro, Roronoa Zoro,

this was supposed to be a look at Killer leaving Kamazo dead and buried so he can move on. Zoro was a part of this process - even more than Killer knew.
and then these cutty-slashy-sharp boys had to go and make it about something else.

Complimentary Children
Eustass "Captain" Kidd, "Massacre Soldier" Killer, Eustass Brichtrede,

An AU where Kidd has known Killer his whole life, a brother raised along side him.
wrote this in late 2024, was editing in early 2025. Changed jobs and suddenly had no time for sitting down and typing anymore. Been sitting in my wips ever since.  
Did some cleaning up of what i did have, and putting it up here. Inspired the background for what went on to be Feveruary [2025]

I'll find it with you
Eustass "Captain" Kidd, "Massacre Soldier" Killer,

He wakes up to nightmares still sometimes, heart trapped in his throat, tangled in the blankets, frantically reaching out - clawing out - trying to tear flaming wreckage away.

Last Emperor Blackbeard
Eustass "Captain" Kidd, "Massacre Soldier" Killer, Kurohige | Blackbeard | Marshall D. Teach, Kurohige Kaizokudan | Blackbeard Pirates, Charlotte Pudding, Jean Bart, Trafalgar D. Water Law,

"Your fruit lets you negate other devil fruit right?"
Blackbeard eyed the two supernovas with understandable suspicion.
"How long?"
"Excuse me?"
"How long can you negate someone's fruit?"
Kidd deals with the loss of his crew in an unhealthy way. (redux)

Laugh God
Eustass "Captain" Kidd, "Massacre Soldier" Killer, StrawHat Luffy,

Kidd glared from where Killer was propping him up  - the two forcing each other to stand - to refuse to bend the knee to the new Pirate King.

Mistakes Made
Eustass "Captain" Kidd, "Massacre Soldier" Killer, Jewlery "Big Eater" Bonney, StrawHat Luffy, "Cat Theif" Nami,

no feasting halls without you
Eustass "Captain" Kidd, "Massacre Soldier" Killer, Hel | Hela (Norse Religion & Lore), Freyja | Freya (Norse Religion & Lore), Shiruton "Victoria" Doruyanaika, Eustass Brichtrede,

He doesn't know where they are - and right now he doesn't care - screaming out for things to stop as he watches a man with no details and hair of blood throw Killer aside like he was just a rag doll. Watches his partner thrown down - the sound of him hitting the untangable ground trapped in his head and echoing so loud his teeth hurt.
Somewhere between a dream and the afterlife, Kidd must decide if he's still fighting.

Pluton
Eustass "Captain" Kidd, StrawHat Luffy, Trafalgar D. Water Law,

Kidd deals with the loss of his crew in an unhealthy way. Luffy and Law have to talk him down. Extremely short one shot.
  Warning for Chapter 1079 and Episode 1112 spoilers.

Red Head
Eustass "Captain" Kidd, "Massacre Soldier" Killer,

there's a feralness to Killer that makes Kidd heart race every time he watches the boy pick up a knife.

He wakes up to nightmares still sometimes, heart trapped in his throat, tangled in the blankets, frantically reaching out - clawing out - trying to tear flaming wreckage away.

shenanigans
Eustass "Captain" Kidd, "Massacre Soldier" Killer, Jewlery "Big Eater" Bonney,

Kira seemed to have become Bonney's favorite playmate these days.

The turmoil of South Blue arrives on Kutzk, and young Keillan is about to experience first hand just how cruel the world is off their shores.

two kids trying to survive as best as they can

Anything you can carry
Eustass "Captain" Kidd, StrawHat Luffy, Trafalgar D. Water Law,

Kidd deals with the loss of his crew in an unhealthy way. Luffy and Law have to talk him down. Extremely short one shot.

Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: None

Summary: Obi-Wan Kenobi has never known it, but he has always been the Force’s Champion, destined to suffer infinite sadness in defense of the Light. On his last turn on the wheel, responsibility for The Chosen One, the false child of prophecy, had been thrust upon him with no warning, and Darkness held the upper hand.

But this time, the Force has marshaled its power and will protect its Champion until the time is right, no matter how long Obi-Wan has to wait and how much he has to suffer.

Or,

Obi-Wan is reborn as a twelve-year old.

He wakes up on a slavers’ ship, with all of his prior life’s memories intact, and he’s bound for Tatooine with a Force-inhibitor collar around his neck, a bomb implanted in his spine, and no way of knowing what state of the Galaxy is in.

Just another day in the life of the Force’s Champion.

Chapter Summary: Sifo-Dyas is coming for mid-meal. His oldest friend, and someone he’d once hurt quite terribly. Dooku had apologized and Si had accepted, but nothing ever felt right afterwards. Maybe now, he will have a chance to really make things right.

Yan Dooku is a diplomat, one of the most experienced in the Order. He knows how to use his words. So why is he so nervous?
