actually one of my favorite tropes gotta be when luffy is doing something certifiably off the walls insane & dangerous (but for a good reason) and the rest of the crew is looking on in shock/horror/concern and zoro is smiling
if you subscribe to the idea that zoro sorts sex and fighting into the same mental category and also that he's been pining for luffy since day one it makes their little scuffle at whiskey peak So funny.
Like luffys genuinely trying to kill zoro and zoros like "... what Are we..?"
entering the one piece fandom was crazy bc what do you mean there's a grumpy swordsman with no friends who meets a friendly ball of energy and over time decides to devote his life to being by his side (which he verbally declares regularly) to such an extreme degree and its not even a main fandom ship?....
zolu has got to be one of the only ships that dudebros unknowingly hype up more than the fandom itself. they are the BACKBONE they are in comment sections of every platform making any video they come across about luffy n zoro. they’re writing hcs on reddit about how they don’t think they’ll ever separate, even if the strawhats disband. theyare waxing about the essence of their undying love loyalty and devotion (practically calling them soulmates). they’re unironically saying things like “luffy is the only one who can make zoro smile that way”. they do not rest and do not falter in the face of opposition. thank u dudebros
Toei animation adding an extra & specific scene to emphasize the romantic undertones being felt by specific characters in a particular scene 😊 💕
....OH—
You ain't slick Toei. YOU AIN'T SLICK!
ive been rewatching ocean's dream filler arc and that seahorse was kinda fujoshing out with the mind control sponsored divorce idk. a real zolu warrior if u ask me
I know we jokingly call mihawk an og zoro x luffy shipper but at the heart of it I fear he sees himself in zoro (and shanks in luffy). because mihawk is at the top. he’s the best swordsman in the world, he’s feared and respected, but he’s also alone. he sails with no crew. he chose his dream and ambition. and zoro chose luffy, and because of it has a family and a home.
i hope i never ever ever see this image while im high or it will also straight up kill me. it would make me so scared my skeleton would run away And id be a boneless scared heap on the ground
The "average Jojo appears in 2 animated parts" factoid is actualy just a statistical error. The average Jojo appears in a little over 1 animated part. Jotaro Kujo, who is Araki's favourite little boy and has appeared in 5/6 animated parts, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
nah but the way some parts of the fandom mistake luffy embracing joy & freedom over conquest as naivety (to the point of infantilizing him) is so ironic considering that most of his enemies underestimate for the same reasons. baby girl has seen cruelty oppression societal rules and abuse first hand and does understand it—he just chooses not to accept it
while it’s not that community isn’t allowed for women, it’s just that it’s so much more imbedded into society for men. saturdays are for the boys. gentlemen’s clubs and lounges. secret societies like the masons. you will find a morning coffee club in every small town in america that meets at least five days a week. it’s shop talk, its sport fanatics, it’s talking to strangers at the bar, it’s being able to go to a bar by yourself. its having all of these spaces that are not specifically designated for men but men are the default. to this day we are STILL breaking away from archaic and unspoken norms that isolate women at home (in the kitchen, with the kids) which is only hindered by such limited spaces to do so
“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”
I think something abt luffy that makes him so enchanting is that he's introduced as being very silly and goofy, and you kind of expect him to be humbled or experience the harsh reality of what being a pirate actually means (cruelty, theft, actually being a bad person etc.) and have to adjust his world view, but then fucked up things start happening and he's still silly and goofy about it and you find that he actually wasn't sheltered at all and he is just a little fucked up himself, but still happy and loving
and then its Everyone Else who has to adjust to what his idea of a pirate is bc he keeps winning and they're just like "yeah okay. whatever. I guess thats what this is in now."
he just unknowingly manifests everything at this point
boyfriend is unaware he was also manifested.
I know this is talked about a lot but still,
Luffy being the only one who can make Zoro laugh and smile like this means so much to me </3
