But Also Not - Blog Posts

i think the saddest thing about a character dying in another characters arms is the fact that eventually they have to let go no matter how much that means leaving their fallen friend behind no matter how much it hurts or makes them want to switch places and that they can still feel the cold emptiness of their arms years later

Is it odd to say I sometimes struggle to place exactly how I think of Zoro and Chopper's relationship?

Some people say they're like father and son, whilst others say they're more like siblings, but I feel like I'm in some weird no-man's-land where neither title really matches up.

It's like Zoro's an older brother who was forced to look after his younger brother, Chopper, in the place of absent parents, and is the closest thing to being a father whilst simultaneously absolutely unable to act like an 'actual' parent should due to being completely inexperienced and too young to fulfill that role properly.

I hope I articulated that properly because I don't even know at this point, I just want to hear if anyone else feels like this 😭
