I've noticed that despite all the crew having consistent internal monologues highlighted at some point in the anime, I can't think of one instance Luffy has had one so far (in Arlong Park arc at least)
Which leads me to think A) his head is empty there are no thoughts going on in there B) he just says exactly what he's thinking at all times or C) even they couldn't work out what was going on in Luffy's head
The funniest example of this is when the villagers come back when the Buggy pirates are defeated and ask Who are you and what happened to our Mayor????
And Nami is having the death note style monologue of weighing up every pro and con and possible outcome of what to say and then it switches to Luffy who immediately says We're pirates! :D I knocked out the mayor! :D
so we all know those AUs that Oda has drawn for when Sabo doesn't get separated from Ace and Luffy as a kid and they don't think he died? so Ace's tattoo doesn't have the crossed out 'S' in it??
which is very sweet and heart warming and all but...
this implies that Ace still just. gets a tattoo of his own name just because
Thinking about,,, Nami and her boys. The way the monster trio specifically are her protectors physically but she's their protector emotionally. Sanji is her pack mule and Zoro is her wall of meat and Luffy is her wild card, and she exploits this regularly, but a stranger should FEAR taking advantage of them on her watch bc these are HER idiots only. You better not test Sanji's kindness or Zoro's confidence or Luffy's joy. She'd kill for them if it came to it. She knows exactly what kind of encouragement they need. She's there with them after battles. She fully trusts her life in any one of their hands, but especially all three together. She has faith that they're strong and they're crazy and they're good. This is not to leave Usopp out--they have a different dynamic bc they're Squishy Human besties and that's worth its own entire post--but I love the Girl And Her Scary Entourage/The Idiots Under Her Wing energy she has with the monster trio.
“why do u like [insert character] they’re a bad person” because they’re a deeply flawed & complex person. fandom spaces have got to stop acting like the purity police and hold every character on screen to impossible morality standards. perfect people are boring and don’t exist, and this mentality has been bleeding into the writing of shows actively making them worse. this also goes in hand with learning the distinction between explaining and justifying a characters actions and being able to say “I know why they chose to do that but it doesn’t make it ok”
Whenever I talk about whatever media I’m into at the moment imagine I am presenting the characters to you like this
Just started watching mob psycho, and this is the Reigen that people find so sexy?
I feel like pirating media that isn’t sold or offered anywhere legally anymore shouldn’t be called piracy. Girl thats archaeology
me after i post my opinion to tumblr.com and omegaverse-obsessed-otaku with a picrew icon responds with "no. you know what? no. fuck you"
