UNDERHOUSE POST HYPE HYPE HYPE

Go my child commit a crime

GIVE THIS MAN A HAT SOME FANCY BOOTS AND SOME SHINY SPURS RIGHT NOW

Anyways I present this rushed thing while I get to work on other stuff

i'm not embarrassed to admit that like half the reason i got into one piece is because i'm aroace and i'd heard that luffy is (arguably, sort of, word of god) aroace, and i love the hc but i'm also happy that it has so much basis in canon & stuff oda has said. it feels like an intrinsic part of him and it's always depicted as a positive trait! something that makes luffy himself and it's a good thing

like, protagonists never get to be aro or ace unless the story revolves around them discovering their identity. it's really nice to have a character so full of life who knows so clearly who he is, who also knows that dating/romance/etc is not part of it at all. one piece has its misogyny issues but i get to watch it knowing that luffy is never gonna "get the girl" as a prize for anything and that his relationships with like robin and nami especially will stay platonic and important without having to become something "more"

his lack of interest isn't a tragedy because he doesn't give a shit what other people think of him, and even when it is part of a gag (like in amazon lily) the humor isn't coming from making fun of luffy for not experiencing attraction. he's not broken he's immune and i think that's so fucking based and funny. and the whole story is about friendship and found family because that's what's important to him! the aroace hc feels so correct to me and i'm so happy that one of the most popular manga characters ever is such blatant arguable rep

“what’s Mr. Nightmare doing signing paperwork all day”

“is he catelogging aus”

“is he signing 100 treaties”

“is he writing fanfiction”

NO. (well. maybe the fanfic.)

you guys what is Nightmare is just a landlord

over the last 500+ years he’s accumulated property after property and he makes fucking bank. gramps just monopolized the housing industry (s. plural industries. multiversal)

why does he need money? because he wants it duh. also leverage, he can bribe anyone who won’t be intimidated by him.

he pays for his castle of course! he’s much harder to trace if the records for his property are that of an honest, tax paying citizen!

who’s to say nightmare didn’t build the castle himself at this point!

he’s managing legions of properties and renters on the daily, very high maintenance, lots of paperwork to file and mail to send daily.

he went

“How do i make people most miserable”

“I know.”

“I’ll be a landlord”

Usopp’s silent genius

Okay, this might just be me being my usual Usopp fan-girl self, but I can't help but laugh at how much Usopp indirectly embodies what real-world snipers are all about—from both a professional and civilian perspective. I love how snipers are known for instilling fear in the enemy, creating hesitation so the infantry can finish the job. They catch the enemy off guard, shaking their confidence. Honestly, that's exactly what Usopp does when it counts.

Snipers aren’t just about shooting; they’re about spotting the enemy and exposing weaknesses. Usopp’s paranoia, his prepper mentality, and his mastery of deception are basically the perfect traits for a sniper. People say Oda doesn’t give him many chances to show off his sniping, but I feel like Usopp proves there’s more to a sniper than just pulling the trigger. He’s the ultimate prepper. While the monster trio charges in headfirst, Usopp is always thinking of Plan B, even if Plan A overshadows it. He’s constantly coming up with backup plans that no one else considers—until they matter. That's why he carries that bag. What’s in it? Plans no one else thinks of.

I know hyping up Usopp might sound nuts, but if you really consider all the cool things he can do, you’d see how he fits into the One Piece narrative. Yet, he’s unintentionally alienated by the crew—not in an angsty way, but because his role forces him to downplay his brilliance. Take the Clima-Tact: Usopp’s the one who made it, and that took some serious engineering, borderline quantum stuff if you ask me. Nami’s practical use of it only works because of his design. If people say he just made a useless stick that Nami had to fix, then why didn’t she make it herself? Usopp’s the genius here, but Nami recognized that genius. He could be way more egotistical about it, but he’s humble.

And let’s not forget, Usopp’s actions aren’t unforgivable because he’s always operated on a strong moral compass. I think he grounds his values in something spiritual, which makes him less rigid than someone who thinks their word is law. Just some thoughts I’ve been mulling over.

Usually whenever I do asks, I show my friends the wips so they can point out anything wrong, right?

This, uh, does not exclude the shitposts.

They’re so stupid I love them

Bad Sansuary - Day 14 - Tears

Wasn’t there like uhhh an inktober prompt once that was “tears or rain”? Yeah thought of that cause I couldn’t think of any other tear-related prompts

Running an ask blog is wild cause like. I’ll just check on it out of nowhere and I’ll be like “when tf did I post that,,,,”

I queue every post so I’ll just get jumpscared by my own posts…this is the second day in a row it’s happened and I think that’s just dandy

Bad Sansuary - Day 21 - Comfort

One of the rare moments those two aren’t fighting! I remember that a while ago I saw a headcanon that after going stage 3 or something he’d get tired and pass out so this was based off of that :))

Also!! Expect more traditional stuff for the prompts- I honestly forgot how fun traditional was, and considering I have no colored pencils or anything to color it with, I don’t really have to worry about as much detail as usual lol (it allows me more time to work on other stuff I gotta work on)
