The king and his wings

ZOLU + NAMIVIVI someone get her her gf 😭
Martingale by Searows just scratches my Zolu brain bc all I can think abt is Zoro yearning over Luffy when I hear these lyrics
I am starting to resent myself
I’m watching you across the room
And I am powerless to stop myself
From slowly turning into you
There’s a satellite above my house
I think it watches over me
If it could know me from the inside out
You’d be the only thing it sees
I love to headcanon that with modern zolu, Luffy is always filming, they give me late 90s early 2000s home video vibes. From birthdays, vacations, home renovations, holidays—to when Luffy just thinks Zoro looks pretty—he’s gonna film it.
hi guys, can I ask what's your current favorite zolu headcanon?
Luffy, the king of the pirates that you are....
ft. Zoro's earring bc they are in love your honor
(Please ignore how messy the frame is in this, it was a last minute decision I realized I kinda hated but had already committed to)
They both yearn so hard.

My favorite thing about Luffy that I feel is overlooked is his definition of “King Of The Pirates”.
Throughout the series, Luffy comes across countless others who share the same name of a dream, but what separates them is what that dream looks like.
To Luffy, being king of the pirates means to be truly free. It means to provide freedom for all who sail the sea, where the sea is no place for marines to control.
It’s not about control, being King of the pirates doesn’t mean he wants to tower over the sea with an iron fist.
Luffy doesn’t want to rule, he wants adventure with those he loves and calls his crew. He doesn’t strive for power, he follows his passion.
So to see him fight for his beliefs, to see him fight for those he calls friend, who wouldn’t want to follow him?
People often mistake Luffys indifference for ignorance and I’m here to set the record straight:
Luffy is aware of others and their emotions and what goes on around him, he just doesn’t give a fuck outright until you see him giving one.
Throughout the series we see Luffy beating the crap out of someone who’s an ally, for what at first may seem like no reason but in reality is because they are disrespecting a core belief of his or disrespecting themselves.
A great example is when he slapped Vivi (gay on gay crime lmao). He did so because he not only wanted to “snap her out” of her train of thought but he was also so angry that him and his crew were not being seen as her friends, that he was not trusted enough to be someone she could lean on when he had been there throughout their time in Alabasta. Vivi was also being selfless to a point of self destruction, trying to push away the straw hat crew, thinking of herself as a martyr, the only person capable of saving her country. So luffy had to show her reason in classic Luffy fashion.
Luffy is aware, he’s not just some kid playing pirates like everyone often thinks he is. Luffy strives for true freedom, he challenges the world government, he sees how corrupt the government is and denounces them entirely. He punches a celestial dragon because he doesn’t believe in power structures and believes every asshole deserves to be put in place.
Luffy is an anarchist. To be against the government and to start revolutions requires critical thinking.

I can't stop with the zolu sacrilegious imagery.
I listened to Florence + The Machine the entire time making this, hence the title.
I need more Zoro/zolu fanart utilizing his three swords and his devotion, bc the imagery could be SOOO GOOD.
3 of swords in tarot is all about emotions, grief, pain, emotional suffering, but it can also be seen as a release. The three swords pierce the heart, eliciting emotions that may have been buried to bleed to the surface. It is a sign of sorrow, grief, but a pain that is welcomed.
And in Christian imagery, Mary is often depicted having swords piercing her/her heart, indicating the seven sorrows. It is showing the pain she went through that lead to Jesus’s sacrifice, depicting the grief a mother feels seeing their child suffer.
Now, Zoro’s devotion is tied to his sword style. His dream is intertwined with Luffy, making all of his training, every fight, every near death experience, and glorious victory dedicated to one man, his captain. Zoro fights because he sees Luffy as something greater than himself, greater than everyone else. With his 3 swords, he will claw his way to hell and back to save the man he calls captain.
Like, guys, THE POTENTIAL. USE SACRILEGIOUS ART TO MAKE THE GAY GAYER AND SADDER.
The swords have meaning, embrace it.

Hopeless Devotion
Inspired by War Pieta by Max Ginsburg
This took longer than I'd care to admit, I had to start it over twice and then ignored it for a month lmao.
A modern One Piece Au but Luffy has ehlers danlos syndrome.
He loves to get in fights despite it always ending up with him needing half a pill bottle of Tylenol, five servings of meat, a 4 hour nap, and a joint pushed back in place by Chopper.
Every gang knows him as that ‘stretchy, rubber guy’ because Luffy will purposely stretch his skin out to scare people even though it bruises later.
All of his finishing fighting moves leave him with a dislocated shoulder that Zoro knows how to put back in place after Luffy walked him through it one time with the worst instructions ever.
“Just push it back, quick! I can’t move my arm, c’mon!”
We don’t talk about the reason Zoro was so close to dying during thriller bark.
Like yes, it was for Luffy, he took his place with ease, not even thinking about it because it was luffy. He offered his life differently than Sanji did. Sanji saw Zoro sacrificing himself and Sanji couldn’t allow that because in that moment we saw that in Sanjis mind, he thought replaceable to the crew. (Which obv. Isn’t true).
But Zoro didn’t do it out of a lack of self worth, he saw luffy and couldn’t bear the sight of him gone. Zoro, whether he admits it or not, sees Luffy as something to behold, something that lives above others and shines a light that must be seen by all eyes.
On top of all that, he took all of Luffys pain. Not only did he take it all, he jumped head first into it, despite knowing how it would most likely be the end of him. He quite literally lept into all the pain and suffering Luffy had received without a second thought.
And on top of THAT… Zoro said it was “nothing at all”, not only because to him, it was nothing, what he did in his mind wasn’t something worth mulling over— sacrificing himself for Luffy is “nothing at all”. Also, Zoro knew that if Luffy knew the truth behind his pain, he would never forgive himself for being the reason behind his first mates suffering.
Whether you ship Zoro and Luffy or not, you cannot deny the love, adoration and pure devotion Zoro holds for Luffy.
I’m writing more Zolu and if you’re wondering what the vibe is lemme give y’all a sneak peak at my thought process:
I was listening to Roadkill by Searows and looked over to see some of the dead flowers I’ve preserved and I thought “hmm, I feel like Luffy loves others in the same selfish manner in which we preserve flowers: he loves them too much to ever part with them and even in death he would still find beauty and use in their shape.” Also very inspired by a painting I’m making about a crow eating another dead crow on the side of the road (because is there any other greater act of love and mercy one can show on another in a cruel, mangling death by still giving them one last purpose in life?)
So yeah, luffy Pov all abt his view of death, love, devotion, and Zoro

I’m simple, I listen to a song about non-sexual intimacy and I think of zolu yearnings
This is my contribution to society
sketching Zolu as sacrilegious art is my favorite thing ever I can't wait to add color
