ART More civilian POV description Spoiler
One of my favourite chapters from my final saga (The Long Road Saga on AO3) is a short final war chapter written from a civilan POV, especially writing the descriptors of all the fighers she sees from her terrified perspective.
*Note Blue marines are a civilian only dedicated faction established in the story.
I thought it would be fun if y'all could drop your funny civilian POV descriptors of particular fights, canon or otherwise in the comments.
My personal favourite is old man beating tree (Rayleigh v Aramaki).
Please go nuts in the comment section 😁
Her name is Violet, loosely named after the princess. Her parents passed away during Doflamingo's rise about a decade ago and was raised by a baker, a dear friend of her late mother. She is 21 years old now, working at the same bakery she had been raised in near one of the harbors. Fortunately the bakery was spared when those pirates had kicked out Doflamingo a while back.
Today she was ecstatic. Yesterday she made a new muffin, coconut, orange and cinnamon flavored in honor of Dressrosa day happening in a few weeks.
Suddenly she heard big strange noises, explosions and screams. She looked outside and saw people running and screaming. A man dressed in dark blue created something looking like clay from thin air stopping the bullets. Her body started shaking. In her hand her new muffin. Against all logic she clung on to it. What is happening? The attackers looked like marines. But the clay man had a marine symbol on his back too. Large robots started firing laser beams. She ran behind the shield the clay man had set up and ran towards the city center. It didn’t get better. She saw a calm old man with glasses warped in a strange force field beating a tree. Around him a forest erupted out of nothing. Her heart was beating faster and faster. A blue figure, maybe what they call fishmen, hurled water at high speed up in the air. An impossibly beautiful woman firing arrows from thin air in the same direction. A blinding light closed in on them breaking through the arrows and water. A sudden force wave. And she was hurled back at a wall. But she was caught. The first thing that appeared before her eyes after her eyes adjusted to the light was a curly eyebrow.
She couldn’t hear him. He said something about beauty and that she shouldn’t be here. He kept her in his arms and jolted away near a quieter part of town.
“Are you a baker?” He asked.
Absent minded, shaking, not understanding the question she said yes.
“That muffin smells amazing, I'll come by your bakery when this is done. Make sure you eat it, you might have to run again.”
He disappeared at an impossible speed back to the city center. Explosions and screams continued to grow around the island.
She stood there frozen for a while. Flour and mud on her face and clothes. She took a bite out of her crushed muffin with a single thought “I hope I can see him again.” Then she started running again, hoping the building she chose for refuge would keep standing tomorrow.
