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.

Luffy’s middle name should be B. for Blindside the way he’s constantly taking Zoro off guard. Or maybe the D. stood for Devious, or Devil- any of them would fit, considering the Situations this man has put him through.

Zoro meets Luffy’s brothers. Was he expecting this? Technically. Was he prepared for this?

Not in the slightest.

S: “Today I’m Helping The Shit-swordsman Show You All Something Amusing About Our Crap-captain.”

S: “Today I’m helping the shit-swordsman show you all something amusing about our crap-captain.” Z: “The secret to subdue a captain as rowdy as ours!” S: “And there he goes. Secret attack:” S: “Hugs!” S: “And there you have it - completely subdued. It’s a miracle.” (text added because im 93% sure nobody can read it in the images) imagine luffy making the same noise as he does when he touches seastone completely deflated captain. to be fair i think anyone would mellow out after a good hug w zoro thought this up as zoro’s retaliation to this!

also i’m gonna use a tag for these strawhats-with-smartphones posts! i definitely will be doing more but anyone is welcome to use it: #mugiwarasnaps !!

Luffy & Mugiwara Kaizoku | Strawhat Pirates Characters: Monkey D.

Someone in the bookmarks said so and I realised they’re right hehe Summary:

“Maybe we should all wear it next time we fight some other pirates, it’d make them think twice about messing with us!” Luffy said.

“I don’t think you could get everyone to agree to that. But I do think everyone would do it if you seriously annoyed them into it.” Nami said, wondering what the others would look like with painted lips. She shivered. “Food for thought.”

“Can Nami put some on me?”
