Super Awesome Fun Collab With @loopeyfluff !!!

hi yes hello i read your fic young like the sea today AND I HAVE NOT STOPPED THINK ABOUT IT EVER SINCE !!!!

zoro’s part made me especially sad gods i dont think ill ever get over it.

AND THAT TOWARDS THE END ???

The world goes on. They fight every second of their life not to, but even the strongest souls wane from the erosion of time.

It takes ten years for their log pose to become something they look at, but not something they see, like looking at your watch but not registering the time.

Maybe they accepted he was gone long before they realized.

KILLED MEEEEE

ill be rotating this fic in my mind gor the next few days but thank you for writing it

Lyrics from "Light" by Sleeping at Last

Sleeping at Last is one of my favourite artists, and I can't help but think of Sanji & Luffy's dynamic in Whole Cake Island when I listen to this song.

Because they're everything to me *GRABS YOU BY THE SHOULDERS AND SHAKES YOU LIKE UR A GACHA MACHINE THAT WON'T GIVE ME MY DAMN TOY*

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.
