Egghead from Stella's POV is very funny.

last night i had a dream about mouthwashing and it started out with the scene where swansea has the axe raised above daisukes head, and swansea says "close your eyes, daisuke." and so he closes his eyes and the axe comes down, and then he opens his eyes and shoots up into a sitting position and finds himself alone in the room, and he's like "...was that a dream...?" and anya appears out of nowhere and sits next to him and is like "you're ok now, daisuke." and daisuke is all freaked out and crying "i was so scared"

and anya hugs him and says "i know, daisuke." and they hold each other for a while, and then daisuke is like "where is everyone else..?" and anya smiles sadly and stands up, holding her hand out, and daisuke takes her hand and follows her out of the room and into the med-bay and he finds swansea crouched in front of something leaning against the wall, and curly is in the bed and jimmy is there too ig.

daisuke looks relieved and says "swansea! you're ok!!" and swansea turns and looks at daisuke and he has this heartbroken look on his face and daisuke is like "..whats.. going on..?" and jimmy isn't reacting to anything they're doing, but when daisuke looks over swanseas shoulder he sees himself, leaned up against the wall with his head caved in from the axe. next to him is anya, her face bloody, and swansea, with bullet holes in his head. and daisuke stares, not quite grasping what he's looking at, and the anya that walked in with him puts her hand on daisukes shoulder comfortingly, and swansea looks away, looking guilty, and daisuke is on the verge of a panic, not understanding, and he's like "n-no, i. i woke up, right? it was just a dream, right??"

and then i woke up. and it was just a dream.

big ol one piece dumparooni

zoro's inability / unwillingness to conceptualize a world without / after luffy in fics already feels like coughing up a ten pound blood clot and then i remember he says shit like this in canon and i actually pass out from blood loss and die

like genuinely why would he say this to me .

I love Oda but man is INSANE for not making the timeskip more relevant to the straw hats outside of power ups

Brook: Literally a rockstar??? There should have been a running gag where people ask Brook for his autograph at every island they visit! It would be so funny if some villains were starstruck fans trying to keep it together during a fight!

Sanji: It would have been great if the newkama recipes came up more than once. There could have been a gag where Sanji stops in the middle of a battle to literally cook a power up for the crew. Imagine this man dicing onions in Onigashima, force-feeding Zoro a stew during his fight with King

Robin: She worked under Dragon for two years, met Sabo and Koala and maybe Ivankov, she probably knows the Army's entire plan to take down the gov and yet it never comes up! Does she know about Kuma? Nika? The five elders? Does she secretly communicate with the Rev Army????

Zoro: I love the idea of Perona teaching Zoro about fashion. It wouldn't have plot relevance but imagine him busting out some fashion tips out of nowhere every so often.

I'd love to hear more ideas, the missed opportunities here haunt me.

HBD ZORO⚔️

Here's to the boy you will always be

HE BIRTHED.

(I’ve been waiting for this day all year)

Zoro got a little silly cutting strawberries!! Teehee!! I’ve been practicing full bodies lately and I’m pretty proud of this one

Based on this post by @catcrumb! I used the frogs from Crash Bandicoot because they’re iconic

I wanted to draw Skypeia Zoro and also some of his canon scars, and then uh. Idk where the powerpuff girls-esque background came from I thought it was silly

Bonus Zoros!! These aren’t ones I drew today like the first three, but I wanted to share them anyway lmao. ZoSopp cuddles, clown Zoro, just wanna be part of your symphony, and angy boy

Happy birthday zoro im almost finished with ur second keychain. Freak!!!

They dont tell you about the yurutto zoro plush in history books because theyre cowards

cringe meowmeow

How sleepy are you. Boy why are you so sleepy. Boy i dont want to sleep. Boy we must stay up

Sanji but gender…

I tried to make him pretty androgynous looking overall, idk how well it came across though

Sanji is like. So inexplicably gender to me y’all

I personally see him as bigender (maybe there’s a better label for this? lmk) but still using just he/him pronouns. Maybe the occasional she, but overall he prefers he/him.

I also think he’d like more feminine terminology, like girlfriend or pretty when being referred to.

After discovering he’s not cis he’d allow himself to embrace more feminine things and wear makeup or dresses sometimes, but also still wear suits and keep his facial + body hair.

I want to emphasize though that this is different than being a femboy or cross dresser!!! Idk how to explain it super well, but this is just the way I interpret Sanji.

Those are kind of strangely specific headcanons but I stand by them for now!! Anyway. Sanji gender real!!! Yippie!!

Boston boyo!!! Everett likes to call him Bonbon as a nickname, so that’s why there’s some candies around him hehe

Also bonus autism creature EverBon

was watching some old east blue one piece clips on yt and reading the comments and im now utterly enamored with this randos theory that the reason why the sandai kitetsu didnt take zoros arm is because the moment zoro touched it he accidentally infected it with his lack of direction so when the sword tried to cut off his arm it was basically drunk off its ass and lost as hell and couldnt properly orient itself

⚔️ Visual references I made for all 5 of Zoro's named katanas ⚔️

YUBASHIRI

Zoro's katanas visual reference sheet in English (translated by me)

Covers 和道一文字 (Wado Ichimonji), 雪走 (Yubashiri), 三代鬼徹 (Sandai Kitetsu), and 秋水 (Shusui)

Notes under the cut:

You have to open the image in a tab/download it and zoom in to read it, sorry!! I couldn't figure out how to vectorise the text :(

The original tumblr upload in Japanese is here, the sheet itself links to a deleted pixiv site so I have no idea where it was originally from, but it definitely seems to be written by Oda

Please let me know if there are any errors!!

I'm not Japanese nor do I speak/read it, I just used google translate + a lot of googling and wikipedia to look up japanese sword terminology. I can also read kanji so that helped a bit

Some other random notes if you'd like to reference the original post:

柄巻 (tsuka-maki or tsuka ito, lit. hilt wrap): rope wrapped around the outside of the katana

鐔 (つば)* - tsuba, sword guard; generally a round metal plate with a central wedge shaped hole for the blade and if needed up to two smaller holes for the kozuka or kōgai *note: Oda uses the hiragana when referring to the tsuba

柄 tsuka: The tsuka is the hilt or handle; made of wood and wrapped in samegawa (shark/ray skin).

目貫 menuki, The menuki are the decorative metal ornaments the are woven under the tsuka-ito (handle wrapping). These ornaments were originally made to hide the mekugi pins that secure the tsuka to the tang of the blade

丁子乱れ, "clove disorder" choji midare – an irregular hamon pattern resembling cloves, with a round upper part and a narrow constricted lower part.

頭 kashira: The kashira is the pommel on the end of the tsuka.

鐺 kojiri: The kojiri is the end of the scabbard (saya) or the protective fitting at the end of the scabbard

So many of my thoughts on sanji are about how he’s the food guy that I legitimately sometimes forget that he really . Isn’t . The food guy . In canon

what the heck..

i just said all of this yesterday, that's wild.

but i agree with all of this. the baratie arc focused so heavily on dreams. on how sanji gave hers up because she couldn't think of any other way to express how much he appreciated all zeff did for him. i've been reading the manga since i caught up with the anime, and reading everything that happened in the baratie felt really disconnected from the current stuff that's happening. there are all these moments where sanji and zeff watch the fights - both zoro vs mihawk and luffy vs kreig- and sanji can't understand why these two are fighting so hard for their dreams. why would they risk their life for something they don't even know is possible? and that's what luffy teaches her, i think. that it IS possible because, to luffy, nothing is impossible if you try hard enough. and even he fails at becoming king of the pirates, he doesn't falter because "i guess it wasn't meant to be". for luffy, the journey is just as important as the ending. and, to me, that's something sanji really needed to learn, and still needs to learn.

but after the baratie arc, we don't see that anymore. when's the last time we heard about the all blue? or saw sanji express himself through cooking?

i don't want to see sanji get stronger the same way i want to see luffy or zoro get stronger, i want to see her explore ruins with robin just in case there's some mention of the all blue, or work with franky on building a better kitchen with all the knowledge she gets. i want to see him pouring over maps with nami, discussing theories. using usopp or chopper or franky as guineapigs for new recipies because zoro doesn't give good feedback and luffy inhales it too fast to properly taste and she's honeslty not even sure if brook can taste or if he's just pulling her leg. discussing fish with jinbei, all the different kinds he's seen and the unique dishes from fishman island.

all the strawhats have so much potential that i don't think is properly explored, and even though i understand that you often have to push aside the slice of life moments so you can progress the plot, i still think that there's more the characters could be doing

So many of my thoughts on sanji are about how he’s the food guy that I legitimately sometimes forget that he really . Isn’t . The food guy . In canon

proof gay people are real

💚Harvester💀 Zoro & Soul guide 👻Luffy💜

god I love unintentional zolu dudebros so much I just saw a comment that was like “zoro has done so much for luffy I want an arc where zoro is in trouble and needs to be saved” bro. bro. r u suggesting zoro be a damsel in distress and luffy is his knight in shining armor bro (but in all honesty I yearn for this as well. perhaps a moment akin to the live action heart to heart)

hehe zolu

Any Chouchou fans here? 🐶
