ROBIN CUT HER HAIR BACK TO HER PRE-TIMESKIP STYLE. I REPEAT ROBIN CUT HER HAIR BACK TO HER PRE-TIMESKIP

OUGJGHHH SABO LOOKED SO CUTE IN THIS EPISODE </3 (trying not to think about the heartbreak of witnessing shuggy flashback)

What does heavy on shipping means?

it means that the majority of the content i post will be about the ships i like, because shipping is one of my favorite ways to engage with media ^-^

i mostly analyze dynamics between characters under a romantic lens, and i know there are some one piece fans who don't want to see this type of content (because they personally aren't interested in it, which is valid, or just because they think it's dumb), so i put it on my profile as a sort of warning

Rabbit Zoan's your Deuce.

sabolaw btw. for those wondering

🍶😶💔🔥

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

spoilers for chapter 1144 Just dropped and there's a teeny tiny detail that Kind Of solidifies the theory... well !

by the way i'm a firm believer in the "gunko is victoria" theory. i know it's far-fetched and honestly sounds pretty insane, but i'm praying for it to be true simply because of the massive angst potential for kid and killer. like, i'm sure it's not going to be real but i still hope it is, you know?

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!

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'm sorry

Yamato

There’s a lot of discussion on Yamato’s gender. And the one take I see particularly often when it’s brought up, is about how Kaido ‘forced’ Yamato to be a man.

So, I wanted to explore this train of thought. And explain why this just isn’t true.

First, let’s explore every time Yamato has been referred to by feminine pronouns/gender.

Within the canon of the text, these are the only times Yamato has been called female, daughter, or princess.

(Chapter 984, pg. 17)

The first time is right after Yamato is properly introduced to the audience, and is following a panel where Luffy questions his gender.

(Chapter 984, pg. 17)

Here, Yamato explicitly says that he chose to be a man, like Oden was.

So it appears that the introduction Oda box was more to indicate Yamato’s birth sex, to confirm to the audience that yes, he was born a woman. But Yamato himself is confirming that while he was born female, he is choosing to identify himself as a man, due to how Oden inspired him.

After this moment, Luffy affirms Yamato’s gender by calling him by the nickname “Yama-o”, which is what he calls Law and Kid by as well.

(the rest under the cut. this is an EXTREMELY long post)
