Haaah?! That Was Obviously A Lie!!

I sent your shuggy meta to someone in ask because they talked about shanks caring about buggy. Hope it was fine to do 🙏

it's totally fine! in fact i appreciate it!! it makes me happy some of you think about my posts enough to want to send them to someone else <3 so thank you!!

I just preferred shanks to be the interesting one with more layers rather than twist done to death by every comic book in history

that's valid honestly, i can't even argue with that because that IS an overused trope lmao. but i think this will be an opportunity to see a new side of shanks, one that isn't shrouded in mystery, but instead open, emotional and dramatic.

let's just hope oda will surprise us (like he often does), maybe he will use the trope in a way that positively serves the plot!

Do you see Law as ace (sexual)? 👀

i personally don't, but i like the headcanon! i see him as allosexual and alloromantic. i feel like it's easy for him to experience attraction, he just forces himself to keep it very private. he has so much love to give, he's just afraid of letting it out because of what happens to all the people he loves. that's tragic but also weirdly beautiful to me. i love law so much

a silly doodle i made to celebrate my one year anniversary with sabolaw 🎉 which was yesterday to be exact but life got busy and i forgot to post it :P

inspired by the color spread who made me consider them in the first place. thank you chapter 771 <3

Is it alright to sketch you something on strawpage even if I’m not your mutual?

of course it is!!! i will share it on here too, if you're comfortable with it! thank you <3

[also if you're a one piece blog (and don't fit my dni criteria) i will usually follow back, i love making new mutuals :)]

Your shuggy meta broke my heart, stitched it up together and broke it again. It’s so beautiful, I hope it is actually that deep in canon, but there’s no way it isn’t. This could not be an accident.

omg thank you so So much for this, i didn't think i would be able to make anyone feel like this with my writing but this is such a pleasant surprise!!! thank you anon <3

and yes, i always question myself when writing this type of posts; i'm always like "is this actually meant to be that deep?", sometimes i even get stuck while writing analyses because i'm afraid of looking like a moron that twists the most frivolous aspects of canon in a desperate attempt to make everything about their ship. but then i regain consciousness and realize subtext is a thing that actually Exists, and authors deliberately use techniques like that all the time to highlight aspects of a character's nature without having to make explicit statements.

so while i surely am afraid to end up looking like a fool if oda chooses not to do anything meaningful with shanks and buggy and just leaves their relationship stranded, i will never stop bringing up all the little things that keep them connected, in spite of everything, after all these years. there's no way those are written into the narrative without a sliver of purpose.

i honestly hate oda because you would think he'd give the kid pirates a rest after all they had to endure in wano, especially kid and killer. but no, oda woke up one day and decided the kid pirates hadn't suffered enough. and made them suffer some more. he decided someone had to take the light from kid's eyes again. that's a different type of evil

i love how every member has their own unique pose. i'm sure they thought about this for the longest time and spent days practicing it too... they're so cute. just a bunch of dorks united by their love for their captain

novel law's english localization has just been announced!!!

even though my first language isn't english and we already have an official localization where i live, i'm still celebrating. i hope this gets more people interested in the novel! it's full of information on how the heart pirates were born, and it gives a new perspective on law and how he manages grief. i think it's a must read for every heart pirates fan, so i'm glad they finally decided to publish an official english translation. make sure to grab a copy when it's out!
