Its Been A While Since I Drew Something

I bet Luffy gives the best hugs.

alright why do almost all zolu shippers gloss over the fact that zoro sacrificed his dream and life for the whole crew and not just for luffy. I know it's an important zolu moment but but I don't see why you guys have to tunnel vision on the Luffy part only and dismiss everyone else in the crew

………this is a really pointless ask to send me bcuz its trying to make it out like zolu shippers unreasonably think zoro doesnt care about ANYONE else but Luffy despite the fact he is Sword Mom of the Strawhat pirates and im p sure everyone (not just zolu fans) openly acknowledges this??? 

anyway the reason (if any) that so many people focus on that moment as being zoro sacrificing for Luffy alone and not just the crew as a whole is because… he… kind of is doing both without having to outright say over and over ‘this is for the whole crew’. what he DOES say over and over is ‘Luffy’

like Zoro openly acknowledges that by saving Luffy he saves the crew and thats all he can do here, but are you really arguing that fans of a pairing are given material like this and that we suck because we’re not making it about All Strawhat Crew and focusing instead on the two guys in the pairing??????? 

Like if anything Sanji trying to jump in and sacrifice in Zoro’s was more for openly for the Whole Crew (and even his own self) rather than just Zoro or Luffy based on how he declares himself. 

like up until Sanji’s appearance panels showing the rest of the crew havent even been shown, just shots of Luffy when Zoro is talking. But do you know how many doujins and fanart and fics are centered around this moment in the ZoSan circles? a lot. bcuz its ZoSan is the largest fanbase for the OP slash, despite have WAY less material to work with that can fuel a ship. 

so if youre saying ‘y do zolu fans have tunnel vision and make this more about Zoro’s devotion to Luffy rather than ~the whole crew~??’ bcuz Zoro knows Luffy is the whole crew and none of us feel the need to dismiss this INCREDIBLE moment as ‘oh i thought this was zolu but i guess he means the he wants to save the WHOLE crew, damn’. Like wtf fans would NOT focus on a moment like this to have it be about their pairing what are you even saying just let the Meatball Mom offer his life up for his Small Stretchy boyfriend jeez.

Sometimes you gotta draw shonen anime protagonists in their 40s just to feel something again.

“Zolu canon” I say into the mic. The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame when a voice from the back speaks and commands silence in the room.

“She’s right!” someone says. I look for the owner of the voice. It's Eiichiro Oda, the biggest zolu shipper.

After the battle, Luffy and Zoro spent time together swinging on the vines. The perfect date for them!🥰💗

I love Skypiea arc so much! There are so many moments of the strawhats being silly and having fun✨

my go to for art block is always just luffy-sitting dot png

gotta admit I have an indescribable amount of feels for these two
