I need more Zoro/zolu fanart utilizing his three swords and his devotion, bc the imagery could be SOOO GOOD.
3 of swords in tarot is all about emotions, grief, pain, emotional suffering, but it can also be seen as a release. The three swords pierce the heart, eliciting emotions that may have been buried to bleed to the surface. It is a sign of sorrow, grief, but a pain that is welcomed.
And in Christian imagery, Mary is often depicted having swords piercing her/her heart, indicating the seven sorrows. It is showing the pain she went through that lead to Jesus’s sacrifice, depicting the grief a mother feels seeing their child suffer.
Now, Zoro’s devotion is tied to his sword style. His dream is intertwined with Luffy, making all of his training, every fight, every near death experience, and glorious victory dedicated to one man, his captain. Zoro fights because he sees Luffy as something greater than himself, greater than everyone else. With his 3 swords, he will claw his way to hell and back to save the man he calls captain.
Like, guys, THE POTENTIAL. USE SACRILEGIOUS ART TO MAKE THE GAY GAYER AND SADDER.
The swords have meaning, embrace it.
Watching Naruto knowing it was made for dude bros, but seeing how it accidentally became a beautifully heartbreaking story about two people who would sacrifice the world for each other but never realized that they were in fact the world for each other, is so sad and so so gay of Naruto and Sasuke.
sketching Zolu as sacrilegious art is my favorite thing ever I can't wait to add color
sometimes i wonder what my cat named me
"you can't ship those characters they tried to kill each other!" sounds like someone can't appreciate the inherent eroticism of violence 🙄
I’m writing more Zolu and if you’re wondering what the vibe is lemme give y’all a sneak peak at my thought process:
I was listening to Roadkill by Searows and looked over to see some of the dead flowers I’ve preserved and I thought “hmm, I feel like Luffy loves others in the same selfish manner in which we preserve flowers: he loves them too much to ever part with them and even in death he would still find beauty and use in their shape.” Also very inspired by a painting I’m making about a crow eating another dead crow on the side of the road (because is there any other greater act of love and mercy one can show on another in a cruel, mangling death by still giving them one last purpose in life?)
So yeah, luffy Pov all abt his view of death, love, devotion, and Zoro
People see me with my cane and compare me to Viktor when they really should be comparing me to House.
I’m just as insufferable and even more mentally ill
And unlike Viktor, I don’t regret my attempts of ascending into godhood, I actually embrace my grandiose thoughts and ideas with open arms.
And more than that— the homoerotic relationship I have with my rival/partner will NEVER be gentle nor healthy
Sometimes I lose my mind over the plot of Naruto bc 3/4 of it is just Naruto being like
“I NEED SASUKE HES MY HOME, THE OTHER HALF OF MY BEING. ”
Naruto went on record with full sincerity “give me your pain, I can bare it” to Sasuke like that isn’t the most loving, romantic gestures ANYONE could EVER do
And I’m supposed to just sit there and be like “oh cool, yeah, best pals”
THOSE BITCHES YEARNED, FAWNED, TORE THEIR SOULS APART FOR ONE ANOTHER AND IM SUPPOSED TO THINK THEYRE “best friends, like brothers”?????
….no.
No. They’re gay.
It’s so strange
I can never fully express what it’s like living with a tbi and the recovery, nothing ever sounds right, all the words feel wrong.
It’s like I’m transcribing a language dead and gone, all the words I have to say you don’t understand, you don’t have the words for what I felt, you don’t have any conjugations or phrases that equate to my grief. so I’m just left saying,
“It was bad”
