I feel like Thatch and Marco would really be protective of Ace at first. Not everyone is pleased with the fact that the young troublemaker is joining the crew, and being all buddy-buddy with the commanders and pops at that. As much as some people are overjoyed, there’s also a lot of animosity, and they want to protect the young man from that.
But Ace truly has disarming personality - he seems clueless about positions and hierarchy, treating everyone with respect no matter how strong they are. He makes sure to remember everyone’s name as much as he can, no matter if they’re a commander or a kitchen aid. If you tell him something about yourself, no matter how offhandedly, he’ll keep it in mind. It’s kind of a survival instinct he’s developed without even being conscious of it - being nice and charming, so people won’t leave him behind, won’t hate him, won’t suspect his shameful lineage. If he’s out on a mission, he always brings back trinkets and hand them over with a « oh this made me think of you, thought you’d like it ».
It all seems so natural and good-natured that eventually even the most opposed members end up begrudgingly endeared to him.
Yeah! Youve touched upon one of my favourite Ace headcanons where he’s incredibly observant, very good at remembering personal details or things other people have mentioned or spoken to him about
Hes got that punk ass kid respect thing going on for him, hes brash and rowdy but he’s polite and respectful when he needs to be
Also !!!! Survival instinct a tactic that hes learned conscious unconsciously to help himself along because Makino was right a smile and a thanks is less likely gonna end in a fight

Trust me. If I can art and write masterpieces, Dron would have so much more content than there is.
One of the first comments I've ever received on my work was that I should use 3rd POV because people usually don't read 1st POV fanfictions. Which, I agree. As a reader—especially of fanfictions—I didn't like reading from a 1st POV. For some reason, I wanted to keep that distinction between me and the character. I wanted to be separate. I want to exist only as an observer, not as a character in the story. At the time, when I was writing it, I did think I should probably go 3rd POV, and I did write some chapters in that POV, it was a POV changing fanfic. I read that comment and edited my fanfic as a whole to be strictly 3rd POV. And, I still write BL fanfics today. The thing is, to keep a distinction between the two characters, I would write the other as "them/their/they". But the problem arises that it's confusing if the "they/them/their" doesn't refer to the single character but to two or more characters. But I also do not want to write them both as "he/him" because then, that's even more confusing. Now, I'm writing something. And I honestly just said "eff it", I'm writing in 1st POV. I have been meaning to write in 1st POV for a long time now, too, sooo, that's good. I'm still thankful to that person for writing that comment, it was constructive criticism and as a writer who does want people to read, it was a good suggestion. But, where I am now, I'm trying to care less about it. That fanfic that I was talking about, the one they commented on, the first part of it has been in writing since 2020. THE FIRST PART, BRO TT
