I Also Got Into Kny So Have This Small Kny Art Dump

cannot stand the rhetoric that’s like “zoro cares more for luffy than luffy cares for him, zoro is more devoted” BRO first off r u watching? is quiet part is very loud (luffy offering to share his food w zoro, luffy asking zoro about his time during the time skip, luffy blushing when he sees zoro, luffy saying hi to zoro & recognizing him from the glint of his hair, luffy telling him how much he misses him when they go days/weeks w/o each other, tears coming to luffy’s eyes when rayleigh saved zoro) bc while there’s been no grand gesture like “nothing happened” it’s a bunch of tiny, as natural as breathing gestures. but also it’s wild work to think luffy WOULDNT do a grand if given the chance. he’d stretch his hand into the night sky and pluck out a star if he thought it’d make zoro laugh

“Play it straight”

Highschool au zolu would be like Luffy throwing his legs over Zoro's lap and leaning over Zoro's shoulder to sleep (Zoro's already asleep of course) and teachers just let them be because no one wants to deal with an awake Luffy and if Zoro's awake Luffy would be too

i’ve always smiled at the idea of taller zoro, shorter luffy as young adults until zoro seems to mellow out and luffy grows three heads as they get into their 30-40s, swapping builds.

zoro suddenly has to deal with a captain who already loves to fling him about, now doing so at maximum efficiency, and luffy loves the hugs he can give everyone with the size advantage. it’s such a sweetly funny thing to imagine

MOB PSYCHO CHRISTMAS ANIMATIC THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT ONE MONTH TOO LATE!!! WOOO YAAYY

Zolu spend the entire day getting Valentine's couple specials at restaurants like free desserts and drinks

I love (and am actively ill over) the fact that ace canonically will not shut up about his lil guy. when jinbe found out ace’s brother was in impel down he was like OHHHHH LUFFY the kid in the strawhats you’re ALWAYS talking about. to luffy’s face he’s like “punk ass” but to everyone else he’s handing out school pictures from his wallet

today i am thinking about zoro and luffy both having two constantly depicted scars. one on their eye each and one on their chest each. so intrinsically intertwined they have matching mortal wounds.

and i know it’s silly, and coincidental, but i like to think it symbolises them understanding each other more and more as time passes.

zoro got his chest scar clambering and falling on the way to his dream, being defeated by mihawk so easily then swearing to never lose again. and luffy who got his chest scar clambering and falling in a different way. they understood ultimate defeat respectively, loss and something that hit, quite literally, over the heart. their chest scars are their most important reminders of strength, the need for it. and loss, the need to avoid it.

and then luffy, who’s eye scar is a self-inflicted wound as he tried to convince shanks he could be a pirate too- he was strong enough. and zoro who got his eye scar during the timeskip, in a way we still don’t completely know, in the height of his self loathing for not being strong enough. they both got the scars around their eyes for the future ahead of them, and in trying desperately to get there. luffy asking shanks to take him onboard, and zoro asking mihawk to train him. the scars around their eyes are ground zeroes, an ask, a plea, complete determination.

one piece started and zoro quickly learned to understand loss, knew loss, while luffy would learn loss so deeply in marineford. one piece started and luffy understood helpless desperation, growing up with shanks refusing him. and zoro learned that later, so horribly, after thriller bark turned into the sabaody incident turned into marineford where he couldn’t do anything.

zoro and luffy understand each other so completely, they’re soulmates. but there are still parts of themselves which are obscured, different, simply because they are two different people with two different histories. and those things that are missing come with age, experience or being together. they understand one another more each day, somehow that’s possible, and i think their scars are a good example of it. them learning things which they may not have understood before, connecting to parts of each other they may not have connected to before.

[The proposal]

Ussop: “SO?! “DID SHE SAY YES?!”

Robin smiled, lifting her hand,letting the light glint off the ring.

The reaction was instant.

Luffy threw his arms up in celebration. “WOOHOO!!”

Chopper's eyes sparkling:“Robin, you’re getting MARRIED?!”

Sanji looked devastated but quickly turned his heartbreak into a dramatic bow. “If I had to lose my dear Robin-chwan to anyone, I’m glad it was you, Franky…”

Franky smirked:“Damn right.”

Usopp grabbed Franky’s shoulders, shaking him: “DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU’VE DONE?! YOU JUST PROMISED TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH A WOMAN WHO CAN SNAP YOUR NECK WITH ONE HAND!!”

Franky just grinned wider crossing his arms: "And I’d die SUPER happy.”
