Yeah... it's them

Zoro is even the green frog in an another universe wut

That awkward moment (for Zoro) when Sanji calls for Nami at the same time with Zoro calling for Luffy happily and both of them,for a second, sounding the same and everyone smirking at Zoro's furiously blushing face.

just watched a production of 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee where they made Mitch Mahoney a butch lesbian and Douglas Panch another lesbian. Mitch carried douglas in their arms this is the best day of my life

today i am thinking about zoro and luffy both having two constantly depicted scars. one on their eye each and one on their chest each. so intrinsically intertwined they have matching mortal wounds.

and i know it’s silly, and coincidental, but i like to think it symbolises them understanding each other more and more as time passes.

zoro got his chest scar clambering and falling on the way to his dream, being defeated by mihawk so easily then swearing to never lose again. and luffy who got his chest scar clambering and falling in a different way. they understood ultimate defeat respectively, loss and something that hit, quite literally, over the heart. their chest scars are their most important reminders of strength, the need for it. and loss, the need to avoid it.

and then luffy, who’s eye scar is a self-inflicted wound as he tried to convince shanks he could be a pirate too- he was strong enough. and zoro who got his eye scar during the timeskip, in a way we still don’t completely know, in the height of his self loathing for not being strong enough. they both got the scars around their eyes for the future ahead of them, and in trying desperately to get there. luffy asking shanks to take him onboard, and zoro asking mihawk to train him. the scars around their eyes are ground zeroes, an ask, a plea, complete determination.

one piece started and zoro quickly learned to understand loss, knew loss, while luffy would learn loss so deeply in marineford. one piece started and luffy understood helpless desperation, growing up with shanks refusing him. and zoro learned that later, so horribly, after thriller bark turned into the sabaody incident turned into marineford where he couldn’t do anything.

zoro and luffy understand each other so completely, they’re soulmates. but there are still parts of themselves which are obscured, different, simply because they are two different people with two different histories. and those things that are missing come with age, experience or being together. they understand one another more each day, somehow that’s possible, and i think their scars are a good example of it. them learning things which they may not have understood before, connecting to parts of each other they may not have connected to before.

Look at how EXCITED Luffy is about watching Zoro fight, KICKING HIS FEET, he’s fully ready to hop in and take Lucci down with Zoro just for fun but he knows Zoro’s got it covered. He’s not worried, he’s perfectly happy just to enjoy the show, watch his swordsman do what he’s best at. Luffy turns around and is concerned for the rest of the crew’s safety, has to be there for them, but he knows - he knows - he can count on Zoro, to the point he can just have fun with him and sit back, giggle, and watch his swordsman beat the shit out of someone.

That’s love babes!

Reblogging this for myself

how to draw arms ? ? 

legitimately so romantic (in any and all interpretations of that word) that on his first day at sea luffy knew three things — he was going to be king of the pirates, he was going to find the one piece, and roronoa zoro was going to be his first mate. that he’d offer to share his lunch zoro to bribe him because he’d rather his best friend with him to share the adventure. that zoro is the one he grabs and drags and flings back to his side. that no matter how long it’s been, a few hours or a few weeks, he tells zoro how much he misses him. that he’d blush at the very sight of his swordsman and throw himself into his arms

Sometime in the hashira training arc, when Tanjiro got busy helping everyone gain their slayer mark, Inosuke started to get jealous and lonely about it. He never said anything because he knew preparing for the battle was more important, but he couldn’t stand not having any of him. So, one night, he went through Tanjiro’s stuff and stole the old hilt to his sword. He reasoned that he wouldn’t miss it, he has a new one- a more important one, so he doesn’t feel bad when he takes the beat up piece of metal. He keeps it in his pockets and clenches it when he gets nervous, and waits for the war to end so he can hold Tanjiro’s hand next.

zoro spending most of his waking hours in the company of the moon (himself). his vigilance when in solitude, his natural inclination to the night being a reflection of himself.

zoro sleeping with the sun (luffy). the hours he allows himself to relax and let go of his alertness. always on the deck, bathing in sunlight. his sleeping hours being a reflection of the vulnerability he allows himself with luffy, with the crew.

sun and moon zolu you have my heart
