Another Day, Another Page Of Turtles

i'm sorry (not) to people who know me irl

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

It would be so funny if someone (besides Oda) drew every single named one piece character one day.

So funny…..

ASL 2000’s AU

I cooked. I hardcore cooked with this.

design commentary:

I loved the 2000's, so this was a real treat to design. I was only cognitive for like a couple years of it but i still remember a lot of the fashion from when it was going on. ESPECIALLLY. the short sleeves over the long sleeve shirts. 2000's loved their layers.

So Luffy was pretty easy to design. He was the first one i designed. i love when theres an easy translation for the Sunny and Merry into AU's.

Ace is very heavily inspired by Avril Lavigne. I was having trouble with designing him, but then Complicated by Avril came on the 2000's playlist i was watching/listening to for inspiration, and suddenly i understood everything. It all made sense to me.

Ace was M A D E for this au. I was thinking that as i was drawing him, but then i realized that Ace literally was made in like 2001 so... yeah. he was made for the 2000's.

Sabo was the last one i finished, i wasnt feeling too inspired with him, but i talked with friends who were more cognitive during that time than I, and one of them provided me a very helpful article about fashion trends at the time that included football and basketball jerseys. I put him into each of those, but none of them fit him quite well. I then put him in a baseball jersey, and although it makes him look the 𝓌𝒽𝒾𝓉𝑒𝓈𝓉, it fit him best. So i kept it.

I did get to put Usopp in the basketball jersey though so it wasnt all for naught.

Franky's hair was also very easily translated into the 2000's, like every boy had that hair, besides the mullet tail at the bottom but franky's just built different like that.

They should publish books in this format.

FYI: There are apps and plug-ins of this Bionic Reading for Google Play, Chrome, Microsoft Edge (Internet Explorer), Firefox, iOS (Apple) and on WEB

sabo has some catching up to do, mostly on the new ways luffy's learned to create near death experiences. frankly it's shocking that ace survived luffy learning to perfect gum gum rocket, considering luffy's notably poor aim as a kid and the fact he was definitely practicing in a densely wooded area

I know that we zolu shippers like the religious tropes 'sun god/king of hell', 'angelic god/demon' and the headcanon of Zoro worshiping the god that Luffy has become, being one of his most faithful acolytes and leaving his atheism behind.

I love all that too, but what if it were different...

Like, what if Zoro despised Nika. What if he perceived it as an intrusive will taking over Luffy? What if he knows that using these powers further reduces his lifespan and he wants Luffy to resort to his Gear 5 as little as possible? After all, Luffy doesn't want to be worshiped or praised, he does NOT want to be anyone's hero.

I don't know, I can see Zoro looking at Nika and thinking "yeah, he's ridiculous and kind of cool, but that's enough, I want Luffy back."

A reunion AND a coming out experience

fooling around
