SPOILERS FOR ONE PIECE CH. 1138

thinking about little luffy being so interested in the beetles and butterflies he saw around in the woods but always frustrated bc he couldn't learn more about them. so one morning ace and sabo secretly go to a library while luffy is still sleeping to steal take some books about entomology and luffy is so so happy he hugs them so hard they can't breathe (ace complains loudly right after that but sabo can see him smiling against his shoulder when he thinks no one is watching him)

Reposting this one because it's 420 bitches

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)

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.

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.

🫂 hi love :3

-fool

hi fool my love!! hope you like the rarepair i chose for you!

perona x koala!

i love yuri rarepairs <3 perona is one of my favorite characters so i couldn't not include the main ship i have for her!

i think what perona needs in a partner is someone that's able to match her levels of silliness. she's very outgoing and has no filter, so i feel like the best match for her would be someone that would be intrigued by these traits of hers, rather than bothered by them. thinking about this is what made me come to the conclusion that koala would be her perfect match! she's as extroverted as perona, maybe a bit warmer and a bit less easygoing, but those little differences are what make them click so well.

also, i feel like both of them lack a girl friend. like, a friend who's a girl. they both deserve someone who understands them and helps the other destress. i'm sure constantly dealing with zoro and mihawk stresses perona out a lot, and the same goes for koala, who's forced to always look after sabo; they need a space to relax and feel cared for. i just believe they could easily think of each other as a safe place. they would be the greatest slowburn relationship ever... acquaintances to friends to best friends to lovers but it's. like. in the span of years. because both of them would be too scared the other doesn't reciprocate their feelings to actually properly confess. i love them so much

I know you said you personally dont see Lawlu as a pro ship but I was wondering if you knew what the arguments for it being one would be?

Just geniunly curious in an abstract sort of way. New to fandom and still trying to figure out all the terminology

i think the main argument would be that when they first met, luffy, being 17, was still a minor, while law was 24. i generally tend to distance myself from the topic entirely because the ship makes me uncomfortable on a personal level more than anything else

good luck navigating fandom spaces! it may seem hard at first, but you will get used to it in no time, i'm sure!

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?
