So true anon that sounds like me. Here.
Reptile Break for the Reptile Broken
Crocodile thing. 407 words. Crocodile is tired, no ship.
Crocodile lights a cigar and takes a big puff, sitting at his desk. Ever since he joined Cross Guild he’s been busy out of his mind, though he isn’t new to hard work. “Damn Strawhat.” He curses. “Because of that boy I have to work with the clown and Hawkeye. Buggy’s unbearable, even as a figurehead, and Hawkeye is… well I suppose there’s nothing wrong with him but he’s not good company.” He breathes out, smoke clouding around him. Even a man as competent as him needs a break right now, he’s not dumb enough to think he can work forever. “I haven’t visited the bananawani in a while now…” Crocodile couldn’t bring all of them with him, but he did manage to bring a few. They’re useful after all, keeping people in check while not having to deal with bodies. They’re also sure as hell better company than the other two men he’s allied with. It’s decided, he stands up and leaves his office to see them.
He walks into the enclosure, something he had built quickly but not recklessly. It isn’t the bananawanis’ fault he was defeated, they deserve a proper place to live. Once he’s inside and they notice the hooked man they’re trotting over to him happily. “Hey now, you’re too huge to be acting like this.” He says with a chuckle as one of them nuzzles their snout onto his cheek. It hisses happily as Crocodile strokes it, tail wagging behind it. It ends up hitting one of the others in the face and it bites it. They start to hiss angrily at each other. “Oy, don’t fight now. Save that for any suckers that are thrown in here.” The bananagators pacify, crowding around Crocodile again. “Yeah yeah I get it, you’re lonely? Sorry bout that then.” He mumbles. Purple eyes look around for the babies, he finds them. They couldn’t reach him because they were too small to get past the adults. He picks one up, it purrs and chirps. It makes him smile, but he notices there’s one missing. “Where's the other one of you?” The babies tilt their heads in confusion. Crocodile hears squeaky noises in the background. He puts the baby gator down and walks over to the sound cautiously, then he finds it.
“Squeak squeak squeak..” One of the baby gators is on a skateboard, slowly riding across the enclosure as the wheels squeak.
“What the hell…”
Roy Harper & Piercings
There’s not enough Roy love or ideas out there. I just finished reading the Arsenal special (1996) and he’s just been catching strays :(
I think that if comic book writers and artists could expand more on a previous character's appearance, there would be more tattoos and piercings involved. However, that’s not really the case.
Here’s my personal headcanon on what types of piercings Roy would have since he got tattoos already.
Nose: I think he’d have a simple nostril piercing, but the jewel would be a small star because Lian picked it out for him. It’s silver with even smaller gems covering the shape.
Mouth: I feel like an ashley, snake bite and tongue piercing would match his charm. The ashley piercing would be small, round with a blueish black tint so it stands out from his complexion. The snake bit would be similar in design but thinner and have more of a shine. I don’t think he’d wear them all the time considering his job so he’d have those clear plastic ones. The tongue piercing would be a bright blue, one that’s almost cyan. It easily catches anyone’s eyes and can derail a conversation.
Ears: A simple lobe, upper lobe and industrial would be his go two. It would mirror both sides. The upper lobe was done when Lian was getting her ears pierced and they did them together so she wouldn’t feel so alone. The industrial is there because he found a cool angel wing design and couldn’t help himself.
These are just little think pieces I had about him because he was in a band so I thought that was cool too.
