Anon I Need You To Know You Just Made My Day 10 Times Better. Thank You So Much

um 😳

i’ve seen a lot of people genuinely confused about shachi and penguin’s relationship in canon. i happen to be hyperfixated on them both, so i thought i’d write a post briefly explaining the origin of their bond!!

i think the confusion stems from the fact most one piece fans haven’t read law’s novel, and learned more about penguin and shachi exclusively through the wiki, which (despite the editors’ much appreciated work) sometimes lacks info. when the wiki says “their parents were killed in a tsunami” it doesn’t mean they share the same parents, as someone seems to think. this is clarified in law’s novel (thank you @/odaslaughtale for your translation!), in the paragraph where penguin opens up about their past.

plus, if they were related, i don’t think there would have been a point in specifying the people that took them in after the death of their parents were exclusively shachi’s relatives and not penguin’s.

we don’t know exactly when shachi and penguin met, but since their parents knew each other and it was normal for the two families to hang out together, it’s not a stretch to think they have known each other since birth due to their parents being friends or something like that. it warms my heart just thinking about it sorry

i obviously don’t have anything against people that see penguin and shachi as siblings; everyone is allowed to interpret the relationship between characters as they’d like (when no type of bond is explicitly stated in canon!!!), and exchanging ideas and headcanons is without doubt one of the best parts of fandom culture. however, i don’t want people to unknowingly spread misinformation, especially since law’s novel isn’t available in all languages and some may not have access to it. so i thought a post like this might be useful!!

belo betty x doll!

i unfortunately don't have a lot to say about them, because most of my thoughts about them are for my bf and i's modern au, but i really wanted to include them in here because i think they deserve to be more popular and i want people to know this ship exists!!

i mean, revolutionary x marine? and it's two girls? perfect dynamic. and their relationship starts exactly like you'd imagine it to: they hate each other's guts. but they're also insanely attracted to each other. so they start telepathically playing a game of "who's going to fall first" except they both fall at the same time. and then they would have to keep their relationship a secret, because they obviously don't want anyone finding out about the fact doll, a marine, is kind of seeing a revolutionary army executive. that would be catastrophic for the both of them.

so, yeah. enemies *and* lovers. the inherent romanticism of having to hide your relationship. and also the fact that belo betty would be able to open doll's eyes on the damage the marines are doing. love wins

I'm sorry

Reposting this one because it's 420 bitches

Who would you date from One Piece?🤔

oh i have multiple answers to this question LMAO

i'm not one to think about these things frequently, but i still have a lot of options in my mind. though i'm an extremely difficult person emotionally so i'm not sure they would want to date me lol

the first one to come to mind, for some reason, is shachi. i think his physical features match my ideal type the best (ginger hair, big smile, and i also assume he has downturned eyes... so cute). he's very cheerful, always knows how to make the best of a bad situation and is generally very relaxed, which are all things i like in a partner. he also likes to party which i personally find very attractive for some reason, maybe because, on the contrary, i'm always home lmao.

another character i would love to date is usopp. again, extremely attractive physically (yes i really like big noses), but his personality is a big part of it. i just love when characters are not that confident in themselves, it just makes me drawn to them. also i feel like he would be great at taking care of a potential partner, because he's very in touch with his emotions.

i can't end this post without talking about sabo. i admit this is because my partner is very similar to him so i'm kind of biased; i basically just see him whenever i look at sabo and it just made me fall in love with sabo as a consequence. in general though, i find sabo very charming, i'm sure he would take great care of me and would match the more capricious sides of me very well.

believe me, i would LOVE to date ace or law. they're my romantic comfort characters for a reason! but realistically, i don't think our personalities would be that compatible. i mean, i ship ace with deuce, who i consider very similar to me, but i think i just lack the patience necessary to deal with ace unfortunately </3. also me and law are just way too similar in multiple ways, which would be good in a sense but also kind of boring, you know? oh, and i'm also deeply in love with baby 5, but we suffer from the same kind of mental illness so it would just be negatively insane and chaotic.

🍶😶💔🔥

bartolomeo x baby 5!

second baby 5 ship in a row! she's one of my favorites so i love giving her partners she can be obsessed with </3 as i said before, nothing wrong with sai x baby 5, i just prefer a different dynamic when it comes to baby 5 ships!

baby 5 and bart aren't as random as some of my other rarepairs, since they were together in dressrosa. it's such a shame we never got the chance to see them interacting :( they could have had a really fun dynamic... imagine baby 5 falling in love at first sight with bart, while he's so weirded out by it at first, but then becomes kind of intrigued. ohhh i'm so not normal about them. i'm sorry

we know baby 5's taste in men is peculiar to say the least, so bartolomeo could be a perfect target for her attention. maybe while they were dealing with doflamingo's birdcage bart shot baby 5 a compliment, not thinking much of it, and she absolutely fell for him. and then baby 5's usual shenanigans ensued. like, her telling him how he's so sweet and respectful and they should get married, while bartolomeo doesn't get any of it and is just so confused because he's not used to this type of attention at all... but then he warms up to her and starts telling her about his love for the strawhats and how he's so excited about finally meeting them in person (in true unfiltered autism fashion), and baby 5 just listens to him so attentively because she finds this side of him very endearing...

i love the idea of them together because they're just two people that are both seen as "weird" by society, even though the only unusual thing about them is that they have developed a way of showing their love that is so unfiltered and passionate in response to their difficult and traumatic past. even though they don't look like it at first glance, they share many similarities. they could have worked really well together in canon, too: the developing of their relationship could have been a breeding ground for many funny gags. oda you really fumbled the bag this time

law with different breeds of hat
