The Mandalorian (2019-)

pluvi! what are your thoughts on shanks and phantom pain?

Ough it’s complicated LMFAOOOOO bc like realistically he wld probably have pretty bad phantom pain—he lost his whole left arm, which was his dominant one, and it was a traumatic amputation, plus he’s implied to have alcoholism issues which itself would imply a history of depression and all of those things mean he’d almost certainly have phantom pain and it’d probably be pretty severe…….

ALL THAT SAID he’s also a fictional character and from a NARRATIVE standpoint I v much like the idea of him not noticing the missing arm all that much LOL

Still I def think it’s there. Apparently phantom pain tends to get better over time so I’m gonna say it was worse in the first few years but now that it’s twelve yrs out it’s gotten much better 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ and I think phantom sensation is a bit more common for him than pain specifically, if only bc I think he generally has a fairly high pain tolerance so. Idk I feel like a couple times a yr it happens but he hides it Very well

And it’s technically a different thing but I also think residual pain at the sever point & shoulder is more common too!!! Bc it was a traumatic amputation there’s no way those nerves were cut properly even with Hongo tending to it, and I think Shanks does get pretty bad flare-ups, specifically during extreme conditions like hot/cold islands or bad storms. Not nearly enough to ground him tho, his officers can tell when it’s a bad day but anyone else wouldn’t be able to. Again I think his pain tolerance is Very high pfft

ANYWAY TY PROWL this was fun to think about 🥰

Idk just those heated, passionate kisses right after sex that get calmer and softer the longer time passes as you two come down from your shared high together???

Sunny….Sunny you’re Doing Things™️ to me with all this Shanks art 🤤 I love not knowing anything about these men cuz it means I just go a little more feral every time you post something about them 🥴

If you’re feeling inspired I’d love to hear your thoughts about what you think he’s most into 👀

god where do i even start with this man?

shanks is in love with the simple pleasures of life. he loves how the sea looks when dawn breaks over the horizon, he loves the warmth of good ale in his belly and he loves hearing you beg for his cock as he rubs the fat tip through your soaked folds.

“you know what i want, angel.” he leans down to kiss the corner of your mouth and whisper against your skin. “cum like this and i’ll fuck you nice and hard. just the way you like, right dirty girl?”

he almost laughs at the dazed nod you try to give him but then you reach a shaky hand out for him and the laughter dies in his throat, replaced by a swell of affection that bubbles up so hot and fast he chokes.

because for as much as shanks says he does this for the sake of teasing you, really he does it for this. for the naked trust that swims behind your watery eyes as you spread your legs even wider for him and the tenderness in your fingertips as you brush red locks out of his face. you treat him like he’s something breakable, something human and the thought blooms wild in his chest, roots curling around his ribcage and petals pressing right up against his lungs until he can hardly draw breath.

his rutting grows frantic as your whines hit that familiar pitch that tells him you’re about to make a pretty mess for him. shanks licks his way into your mouth just as your cunt clenches and spasms around nothing, sneaking a hand between you and gripping the base of his cock to stop himself from spilling all over your cunt at the sound of your voice alone. he still has his side of the bargain to keep and he’ll be damned if he doesn’t reward his angel for being so good to him.

“Have you ever removed your helmet?”

“No.”

“Has it ever been removed by others?”

“Never.”

“This is the way.”

Favorite kind of sweets w/ Shanks, Doflamingo, Ace, Koby & Smoker

Content: Gender Neutral reader, no NSFW 

Shanks

What do you mean ‘you’ isn’t an answer?

Really though, Shanks’ favorite kind of sweets would absolutely be alcohol infused chocolate

Those expensive ones with rum in them

He could eat every one of them on his own

It’s the perfect gift for him other than actual alcohol itself

He’ll hide it from the rest of his crew because he does not want to share

If he really likes you though, he might sneak you one

Doflamingo

Doffy is a connoisseur of sweets

He’s tried everything and will continue to, since he gets whatever he wants, whenever

But he’s got a soft spot for some fresh, light, fluffy, strawberry shortcake

Not too much icing, golden cake, it’s his favorite treat

Of course he’s not going to share- that may be an entire cake, but it’s his and even if he likes you, you’re not getting any. You’ll have to make your own

Getting him a surprise slice will turn any sour mood the other way around, so use that to your advantage

Ace

Two words: Cinnamon hearts

Ace loves anything cinnamon. The spice just gets him 

Plus, gifting him little hearts will make his own heart throb

He’ll share with anyone- cinnamon hearts are the type of candy you have to share- at least, he thinks so

They’re also not that popular, so he doesn’t need to worry much about losing much of his candy

If you’ve recently gifted him any, he’ll taste like cinnamon hearts when you kiss him

Koby

Koby is a big fan of all things minty, so peppermint candies would be his favorite

It’s practical, freshens his breath while also giving him a sweet treat

Also, peppermint is a great tool against nausea- so when he’s feeling sickly and anxious at work, he can just pop one and continue on his day

If he’s got the peppermint drops that usually come individually wrapped, he’ll share with anyone who asks for one. Usually Helmeppo, sometimes Garp.

Otherwise he’ll be gathering up candy canes as much as he can and stashing them away in his room just in case he wants a treat so if you gift him some, he’d be over the moon about it

He also tastes like his chosen candy if you kiss him

Smoker

Smoker isn’t one for sweet treats, they’re just too much for him

He likes his coffee and things that are more bitter or savory

If he were to pick something though, he would love some dark chocolate covered almonds

The chocolate isn’t too much since it’s also got the almonds in it, nuts are a good source of protein, and they’re easy to find as he’s travelling on Marine business

He’s not one to share with just anyone. He’ll give some to you with no problem or he’ll give some to Tashigi, and that’s about it.

Gifting him a bag would make him smile, and he would thank you while insisting you really didn’t need to spoil him

Kisses as extra thanks

My favourite kind of fics to read and to write

love of my life i believe zoro is a chronic waist grabber ….. he cant put his hands anywhere else. always an arm wrapped around you, pressing your back closer to him, or both hands keeping you planted on his face … idk why, maybe it’s because he can feel your every reaction, who knows …. <3

oh my lordddd

he’s so handsy in general, it’s ridiculous. the second zoro’s got you somewhere even semi-private, he’s groping your chest and cupping you between your legs cause he knows how bad you need this, baby, he can smell it on you.

but for as much as his hands wander, they’ll always end up at your waist. it’s not his fault you make it so easy to grab you around your middle and manhandle you however he likes. big broad hands holding on to you, fingers digging into your soft hips like you’ll run if he lets go and he won’t let his prey get away that easy. it’s just a bonus that he can fuck into you that much harder, deeper, when he’s holding you by your waist and pulling you back to meet every stroke.

and afterwards, when you’re all fucked out and your legs are still shaky, zoro will reach for your waist again to run his hands right over where he’s marked you as his, palms warm and touch reverent. it’s not an apology for the aches and bruises you’ll no doubt have come morning but a reminder that he only gives what he knows you can take.
