Luffy and Zoro arguing reminds me of bickering between old married couples.
Here's Luffy scolding his husband again for being such an ingrate. Zoro haven't you learned from Whiskey Peak?
And also, come on Luffy, listen to your man 🙄
This is like calling your husband, but he doesn't hear you because he's too focused on watching his favorite sports game.
I love how Oda can't move on without matching zolu. Luffy got eye scar? Give one Zoro. Zoro has a scar on his chest that was happened on important moment in his life? Give the same to Luffy. Luffy has haki? It's time for you to get it too Zoro. Oh king of hell? Well here you go Sun God.
something that haunts me is how kuraigana island is an extension of thriller bark. the general aesthetic, the darkness, the hostile environment, even perona’s presence. kuraigana island is thriller bark.
zoro spent two years surrounded by reminders of his sacrifice, he left thriller bark only to return to it. his timeskip was a horrible twin to the place he barely escaped alive from.
in an eerie castle of stone walls, exactly the same. helpless in a gloomy wood just as he had been so shortly before. zoro looked out of his window to rubble and forest, thinking of luffy’s pain. he looked to the sea, past the island’s confines, and could only think about how he wasn’t able to stop luffy’s suffering this time, he failed, unable to get to him at marineford. he looked to the mist and yearned for his captain, the sun, unsure if there was even an end to the fog at all.
zoro having nightmares about kuma, about thriller bark, only to wake up in its uncanny lookalike; unsure whether he had even woken up, whether he had ever left, still wrapped in the bandages of his sacrifice.
and then he spent each day being taught by the man that until thriller bark had caused him the most agony, that he lost to. a personally curated island of his weakness, sacrifices, pain and shame. while i’m sure it motivated him to get stronger, it equally must’ve been an indescribable torture. surrounded by trauma and his fated enemy.
zoro, the proud man he is, threw down his swords in front of kuma and begged that day, vulnerable and desperate, anything for his captain. and he put his swords on the ground and got on his knees in front of mihawk exactly the same.
the parallels between thriller bark and kuraigana island are unapologetic and constant. what a horror zoro’s timeskip must’ve been.
platonically or romantically luffy n zoro ARE soulmates and just the first arc is enough for me bc you’re telling me luffy (who goes w the flow and finds his crewmates through his journeys) heard roronoa zoro’s name and decided “I want him on my crew” and actively sought him out? that they fought immediately in sync as if muscle memory of lifetimes together came back in an instant? that the demon of the east blue, a man so feared the entire town shakes at his name, sprawled out across from luffy at a restaurant took one look at the tiny dinghy in the harbor and laughed and hasn’t stopped laughing w luffy since? that in zoro’s highly romanticized memory of their first meeting luffy brings COLOR into his life? enough! enough!!
Branch and Floyd having such a small amount of screen time together is criminal
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
One of my favorite HC is Zoro at Kuraigana Island always dreams about Luffy.

quality is shit but whatever
One of rare moments where Luffy is seated is when Zoro goes to him and hug his waist, press his face to Luffy's chest and nap there. Zoro started to do this after their reunion. Whenever they got separated and didn't see each other for a while, Zoro would do this when the whole crew came together on their ship, their home. To feel Luffy and know there isn't a thousand miles of ocean between them. (Luffy realized he never did it when they were together and others were far away from them, where they couldn't know if they were safe or not. Zoro would only do it when everyone is on his sight, on ship, that's when he would allow himself to relax enough to do that) Those are the rare times Luffy doesn't move for a few hours. Just like now. He was laying down on the floor of the ship with Zoro on top of him, his hand on Zoro's head, patting it while Zoro's face was pressed to his chest and sleeping soundly. Luffy likes those moments so much. Zoro isn't shying away and doesn't see it as a weakness and comes to him on his own accord.
He looked down when Zoro sighed. He giggled, Zoro would always give some type of reaction when Luffy's hands touched his ears and Luffy was having fun with every different reaction he could get from him. So like little shit he is, his hand stayed close to Zoro's ears and started to stroke the tip of his ears. It got red as always, very quickly too. Zoro grunted and made a satisfied sigh when Luffy stroked the ear between his fingers. Zoro pinched Luffy's sides to make him stop but he could see Zoro's smile so rubber user stretched his head out and kissed the corner of his lips and lay back down with a giggle. Luffy didn't mind staying still like this.
+Bonus: sometimes other strawhats would join them too. Franky would sit by Luffy's side so his thigh would touch Zoro's biceps, Brook would play a song by their side while Robin would read something with her soothing voice. Nami would use Zoro's back as a pillow and Usopp would be playing with Zoro's hair alongside Luffy. Sanji would lean over whatever would be close and their shoes would be touching while Chopper is between Zoro's arm and Luffy's chest. Jimbei would sit beside Robin and watch them with a smile.
So... I found this amazing hermitcraft au by @the-twilight-forest and the first page is a doodle of grian and iskall, and then some fanart of a one shot.
The second photo is just a head cannon that if grian gets a little out of hand they bring one of his parrots (yes he has multiple, change my mind), a jukebox, and a few music discs and grian just watches the dancing parrot.
I'm sorry for the crappy quality these are very late doodles I had to draw to show my love for this au!
They’re more comfortable, still form fitting, and best of all: THE POCKETS. THEY HAVE ACTUAL POCKETS.
don’t believe me? look:
these are boys pants, and they look just as good on me as any other skinny jeans I own
See that phone? I’m going to put it in the pocket. Must be so small right??
Ah yes, girl pants length. Probably can’t fit any further than that-
what? what’s this?
Good god. Oh good lord in heaven. This is blasphemous.
Look at how much room is still there. There’s chaos in the streets. Babies are crying. Fashion designers are screaming out of fear of the unknown.
Buy your pants in the boys section, girls. Live in the beautiful world you deserve where you can fit shit in your pocket.
