Bro you underestimate the amount of Luffy & Sanji fics I've read—I eat that shit up like SOUP

@starshipcaptainjojo MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS EXCHANGE!!!

A little smt smt based on a passage from ur fic Stakes 'cause I read that and was like... YOOOOOOO

he thinks he’s so cool (he’s struggling)

“no one is born in this world to be alone!”

I POSTED THIS 30 MINUTES AGO AND I HAD A TYPO I MEANT

"Grief is something you don't get over"

I forgot to put the don't earlier omg this is so ruined I MEANT IT LIKE

Ok what's worse: the strawhats waiting a lifetime for luffy to return to them, or luffy becoming immortal and outliving everyone he cares about?

The first scenario reminds me of that Bojack Horseman quote, "Was it worth it to be happy for a little bit even though it ended up sad? Or would it have been better if the whole thing never happened?" I think this isn't as bad as the immortality scenario because the Straw Hats have each other to lean on, and if they reach the end of their life without Luffy returning, maybe they'll be happy—thinking that Luffy's waiting on the other side for them.

I think immortality is one of the cruelest punishments you could put on someone, especially Luffy, considering his unique relationship with death. It's one of the OP endings I hope Oda doesn't use (through Law's Devil Fruit power).

Grief is something you don't get over. It'll always be there, but you grow to live with it. Knowing Luffy, he'd find new people to love and journey with, but they'd leave him all the same, and loneliness is Luffy's greatest weakness. I don't want to imagine this kind of torture on him.

What do the strawhats do for luffys birthday? Ah that first birthday after his disappearance must've been so sad 😭

probably just cry ig aidfhwauifbkfgb

hmm i honestly think they would have a party in his honour—even though they are hurting and "mourning" his presence, id like to think that they would shove all those negative emotions deep down into a box and seal it shut just for that one day. Any other time, they would allow their grief to swallow them whole, but it's Luffy's birthday.

and if he isn't there to celebrate it, theyd do it for him - wherever he is
