Stupid Shitty Musclebound Mosshead

Y’all are cooking with this! I’m so glad I’m not the only one with TMA + OP brainworms

I haven’t assigned all the Strawhats entities yet but my thoughts are:

Luffy as The Spiral cause I think it’d be fun if his smile was scary, and gear 5 design like you said. Also the “all his bones are in his hands” could apply since Luffy is literally boneless and can change/distort his body.

Zoro as The Eye because hear me out he’s really afraid of not being able to fight the monsters or save his friends. So forcing him to just watch horrible things happen would be his hell. He’s also green, so he fits the color scheme.

Usopp as The Stranger since he can only be brave by putting on a mask/persona of some sort. Metaphorically ‘wearing someone else’s skin’ becoming not-so-metaphorical.

Franky would also have affinity with The Stranger, although in a different way.

Sanji as The Lonely becase his fears and insecurities would trap him, although I do always love cannibal aus for him. Orrr The Vast perhaps? Like an evil version of the All Blue with only empty, endless sea and sky.

Robin as The Web bc I do think she’d be great at manipulation, also her devil fruit giving her multiple arms. But she fits so well with The Eye too, maybe she could be a double-agent and use the powers of both.

This is what I’ve been thinking about for like a month now so it’s cool to hear other people’s ideas! I just listened to MAG111, where they explain/name all the entities and we meet Gerry. :’)

Not sure how much crossover there is in the Magnus Archives, and One Piece fandoms but...

Robin would for sure be an avatar for The Eye right? Like, she actually manifests eyes in various places to spy on people and gather knowledge. Plus shes always studying ancient ruins and has a hunger to know the secrets the goverment wants locked away

As for the others,

Luffy would be a victim of The Lonely

(Gear 5 Luffy could be an avatar for the spiral if he wanted 🤷‍♀️)

Zoro would be an avatar for The Hunt

Nami could fall prey to The Desolation - specifically 'the destruction of potential', and it would be arlongs doing

Usopp ...victim to anything really. Going to say The End just to cover all bases

Sanji terrorized by The Web not feeling in control of his life, stuck in the designs of his birth family

Chopper The Corruption, making him fight a losing battle against disease

Franky and Brook i have no idea. An argument could be made for them as avatars of The Stranger?

Very curious to see different takes on this though!

And I will see it, I promise

one piece saved my life man

vampire zoro x doc law cause why not

I genuinely believe if Usopp said “you’re telling me a shrimp fried this rice?” at dinner, Sanji would be the one laughing the loudest. You think he’s ever heard that joke before? Absolutely not. He’s been hearing bawdy sailor jokes from the guys at the Baratie but he’s never heard a simple word play joke. He makes shrimp fried rice again a week later and laughs just as hard when Luffy says it.

T4T Sanji and Zoro where they both use the testosterone gel because they’re both scared of needles. And then they’d definitely compete compare with each other’s voices, muscle gain/strength, energy/endurance, bottom growth, body hair, etc etc.

(Sorry Zoro, you’re losing the hair competition hands down 😔).

But like,,, just imagining them sharing gender euphoria moments and supporting the other through days when the dysphoria is bad 💞🫂They’d be so sweet together!! 🥹

Zoro and Sanji would both get top surgery over the time skip and come back ready to flex and then find out they happened to get it on the same day. The accidental romance would annoy them but in the end they’d kiss and tell each other how good they look 🥰

Yaayyy!!! Needy Zoro for zsz is so perfect omggg 🥰🥹💚💞💛

happy zosan/sanzo day!🫶🏽

Maybe kid asl with shank

this was supposed to be a simple doodle but i got ahead of myself. here :)

Update on my one piece ship series!!

So I’m 30 episodes into The Magnus Archives so far and while I do miss being able to go to bed without fearing for my life, I’m gonna keep listening.

I have thoughts on one of the creatures we’ve met so far, the worm hive/nest specifically. The source being ‘Plight of the Living Dead’ by Matt Simon, a book I’m currently reading about parasites that zombify their hosts. I’m not an expert on parasites, I just think they’re cool and I wanna share my thoughts.

Unlike the fungus ophiocordyceps, (the zombie ant one), the worms don’t bother trying to be sneaky; they completely decimate their host making their presence obvious to uninfected individuals. Similar to how Massospora cicadina eats away at cicadas’ abdomens until they’re almost completely hollowed out. This unconcern for appearances probably means the worms don’t have a predator/threat to hide from.

Also, I’m wondering if this parasitic behavior of spreading themselves like an infection is part of the worms’ life cycle, like how real life nematodes need to get themselves into different animals’ guts to reproduce. If they are actually worms this could simply mean finding a new host, laying eggs and multiplying their numbers within the body until they’re ready to find another host. Or if they aren’t worms but grubs/larvae instead, that could mean that they have a mature adult form they could metamorphose into. Which would be so awesome and make for an episode with more insect/worm body horror! Anyway, it’s fun to analyze the ecology of fictional monsters.

Man, i miss smoking by the sea.
