i'm still gonna call shamrock "stabs" instead
LMAOOOO that's honestly a cooler name, surely gets stuck in your head more easily than shamrock
i don't know why, but in my mind i've always subconsciously associated shanks with four-leaf clovers. i think it's because of shuggy and a particular song that makes me think of them which mentions four-leaf clovers ???
so when i realized what shamrock's name referred to, i was pleasantly surprised. it might make more sense narratively once we know more about their past, but for now, i'm choosing to believe shamrock is the three-leaf clover because he wasn't actually meant to be the "chosen one", but shanks was.
OUGJGHHH SABO LOOKED SO CUTE IN THIS EPISODE </3 (trying not to think about the heartbreak of witnessing shuggy flashback)
"And they were roommates"
Im going to give you my firstborn because you made me believe in shanks again
Love you man
oh??? i didn't know i had this power lol, thank you so much!!! <3
this might be surprising to hear but on a personal level i'm not too fond of shanks as a character, he has made some choices in the past that i strongly disagree with (i'm a firm buggy apologist)... but i still appreciate his place in the story and the way he's written a lot. he's one of the characters i spend more time analyzing and dissecting. i'm usually not a fan of extremely mysterious characters, but with shanks it's different. i don't know how to explain it. i would love to perform open brain surgery on him
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!!
anon i need you to know you just made my day 10 times better. thank you so much
i baked a cake to celebrate law's birthday earlier today,
i think it came out pretty cute! i'm sure my law action figures loved it too despite their seemingly uninterested looks...

i'm star (they/he, 22) !!! i'm new to the one piece fandom so be patient with me please ...
i will be sharing my thoughts here, i especially love analyzing characters and talking about my favorite ships!!! all my rambles will be tagged as #star yaps
please do not interact if you're a proshipper or if you ship lawlu
I really didn’t expect shuggy to be this popular :o like yeah I guess it has more fans but it’s one of the three op ships there??? I really thought they weren’t like that
yeah me too honestly!!! it was a big surprise (positively). i knew shuggy nation went hard on tumblr but i expected other ships to take their place in the top 100, for example i really hoped namivivi would be included.
i think the live action really helped shuggy become more popular and that's great!! praying for the ship to grow even bigger with season 2...
star | they/he | 22 | i dont play about shuggy | PROSHIP/LAWLU DNI
