I loved all the failed plans so much 😭

Everyone keeps saying Zoro isn’t goofy after the time skip but boy just pulled this out of his ass and HE’S SO PROUD OF HIMSELF

No comment...

part 1/2

I playfully flirt with some of my friends constantly 😭😭😭

On a serious note, do any other aromantic people relate to wanting to platonically kiss a friend, like just on the cheek? I get that urge really often but don't want to come across as weirder than I already am. Platonic hugs just don't cut it half the time 😞

(I think I just want a queerplatonic relationship with another aromantic person but don't know how and at what age I can actually consider that)

Were any other aroaces/aros originally terrified of saying things like "i love you" to your friends because you really didnt want to come off as flirting or nah

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 😭

She's so pretty here 😭😭😭

(And she is living proof that Oda can design beautiful women without excessive fanservice, so that makes me love her even more)

words can't describe how much i love these three, especially hiyori. i missed my girl so much 😭😭

The Himbo™ energy is off the charts

Experimenting with my art again

Zoro fans mad at this pretty and cutie girl, Hiyori, cuz she can touch and sleep with him while they can only watch Zoro behind a screen 👎😮

LIKE HOW CAN TOU GUYS CALL HER A WH0R3 OR SUM SHIT BRU 🙏😭 SHE'S SO CUTE MEHN

DID AO3 JUST GO DOWN FOR ANYONE ELSE? 😭😭😭

"Kuina's death is ridiculous" yes! That's the point! You do realize that falling down the stairs is a way of showing Zoro how fragile human lives are, right? You are aware that the point of Kuina's character is the unfairness of the world towards women in comparison to the privileges men have, like living in itself and fulfilling their dreams, right? You know that Kuina's death is "ridiculous and dumb" because it's meant to show that even the strongest person Zoro knew could die from something so little, right? You understand that the value Zoro gives to life is fucking immense, right? Right?? You realize Zoro can't seek revenge because nobody took her away from him and now the only thing he can do is become the world's greatest swordsman to avenge her death, right? You get that Zoro's character is an atheist because he doesn't believe in anyone and he can only rely on himself when it comes to Kuina's sudden death, right? You are aware that sometimes people die in the simplest of ways and that doesn't make them weak because death doesn't discriminate, right? You know that all of these things are what make Zoro's character so interesting and important, right? Right??? You know, right?

Well, of course you fucking don't because if you knew you wouldn't be saying her death is ridiculous <3

he doesn’t get paid enough for this

If you can't tell I have nothing else to do and want to remember these memes

Guess which new hole I have fallen into

Eternally fascinated by the fact that, canonically, Zoro's single (1) neuron is good at maths

AND NOW HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TONY TONY CHOPPER

Happy Birthday to my girl Hiyori, I know it's 9 minutes until it is no longer the 23rd, but happy birthday anyway.

Also have this meme, it's probably from somewhere else on Tumblr but I can't remember where.

EXACTLYYYY

I feel like a lot of people really want/wanted Kuina to be Tashigi because they can't accept that all the potential she had was ruined because she had a tragic accident.

What makes Zoro's backstory sad isn't so much the scale of destruction, like on Robin's, but rather how down to Earth it is, as Kuina tripped, fell and probably broke her neck in a bad landing. It's that simple, and it serves as a good contrast to the larger scale backstories.

Today I was showing my nephew the second episode of OPLA with Usopp, and we've got to the scene when Zoro was trying to get out of the well, while thinking about Kuina. My nephew complained about how in anime Kuina died in an accident which he found lame, and I started to think about it deeper.

I came to conclusion that Kuina's fairly normal death via tripping accident is meant to be doubly tragic. She didn't just die young in a stupid, easily avoidable accident, while having such grand plans as becoming the greatest warrior ever; she didn't even die in combat. All of this happens some time after Zoro and Kuina promised each other that one of them will become The Greatest Swordsman in the World, so Kuina's ordinary accident feels like a cruel twist of fate. She didn't even die a warrior's death; she just tripped.

I TOTALLY FEEL THIS AS AN ARO

I JUST WANT TO SEE THEM KISS AND WATCH CREEPILY IN THE CORNER

being ace is so weird cause when you're watching shows you get a lot of "omfg this person is so hot i want them to kiss me" but you're just here like "omfg this person is so hot i want them to kiss this equally hot person who has chemistry with them"

LOOK AT THIS

SOMEONE WROTE A ZOYORI FIC INSPIRED BY ME AND I'VE NEVER FELT SO PROUD OF MY WORKS BEFORE

There are now a solid 82 fics in the Zoro/Hiyori tag on ao3 :)

I forgot how much I loved this art, I just want to keep it where I'll be able to find it

Sorry for such a long post, but - I sketched up my interpretations/headcanons of the (human [alive]) Straw Hats’ body types and had a lot of fun with it!

For some reason I absolutely love Roronoa Zoro/Kozuki Hiyori, but the tag on ao3 only has 75 fics (I check daily so I know) and half of them don't actually ship it (background at most).

Also they hardly have fanart.

It truly is the saddest part of shipping something not super well loved by the fandom 😔

thinking about how spoiled i got with reading bnha fics because there was a million and one fics over any au i could think of and now im suffering because i wanna read a million and one fics over one piece but there’s just. not as many

After we learnt that there were ~25 people who left Wano with Kozaburo, but that only ~10 people stayed in Shimotsuki Village, I always imagined that Tashigi might be decended from the remaining 15.

I still like to think that Shimotsuki Kozaburo, Shimotsuki Furiko and someone else (who didn't stay in Shimotsuki Village) may have been cousins, later having children and grandchildren who would end up being third cousins- the grandchildren being Zoro, Kuina and Tashigi.

I feel like it would make sense for Tashigi to look similar to Kuina for this reason. We still don't know if Tashigi has a last name, and it is possible that she could be a Shimotsuki considering her connection to swordsmanship.

It’s been almost 20 years and i’m still wondering why Tashigi and Kuina are so look alike and this fact is remarked every time. I think most of us agree that they’re not the same person, but there must be a reason why they look so similar and at this point in the story it continues to be highlighted every time she and Zoro meet. I mean...what's the point? Is it supposed to have any relevance? Or is it just used as another gag?

I literally adore her on a dangerous level how dare they

Someone said that they don't know who is the other person in zoyori 😭 the problem of shipping a brand new rare ship sniff

I SWEAR I JUST HEARD THE WILHEIM SCREAM IN THE ONE PIECE LIVE ACTION AT LIKE 15 MINUTES INTO THE BARATIE EPISODE SOMEONE TELL ME I'M LYING

So I just watched the first episode of the Live Action and it is VERY GOOD.

It was really fun, and the differences made are interesting so I'm looking forward for the next.

The main thing that I picked up that I really liked was the set of roles that were established when the map safe was involved.

Nami had the knowledge necessary to locate the safe, but not the strength to open it.

Luffy didn't have the knowledge to find or open it, but had the strength to break the safe out of the floor so that it could be done later. Although he could lift it, it would be a bit difficult.

And that's where Zoro comes in. He can lift it with relative ease, although he likely wouldn't think about breaking it out of the floor impulsively and certainly wouldn't know where it is.

Nami has the knowledge, and as navigator she needs to know about everything involving the sea.

Zoro has the strength to act as a combatant, but also to support the others as first mate.

Luffy also has the strength to act as a key combatant, but he operates at the very front and makes it easier for his first mate- just as a good captain should.

They all contribute in a small way, and it really shows their dynamic as a crew already forming so early on.

Mmmmm... (and other noises of approval)

Although my main OTP is Zoro/Hiyori (idk why it just is), I think that something great about One Piece is how there are few ships that almost everyone absolutely despises that are regularly talked about, which to me just shows how well each character gets along with each other, enough to encourage a healthy dose of enjoying a large range of ships.

Most of the Strawhats (minus chopper because he's too baby) can be shipped together for genuine reasons that many people can get on board with, and if people don't like that so much they can ship them with any of the other people they interact with in specific arcs.

It's really a testament as to how Oda's writing of the main crew makes them so fun to read, draw and write interacting with each other.

The beautiful thing about One Piece is that I genuinely enjoy a lot of the ships, even if I don’t necessarily ship them.

I will see a ship post with art or just funny moments of two characters I never even considered and be like;

"Yes they are so in love",

& then go back to my citrus trio and frobin brainrot.

Kuina: Zoro, your so lucky to have been born a boy… My chest has started to develop… Soon I won’t be able to be a great swordsman…

20 year old Zoro with an H cup: rip

The stairs strike again...

Sooooo...

In one of my last posts I mentioned that I headcanon that Zoro would brag about having sex with two more genders than Sanji.

...

I wrote the fic.

It's got every Mugiwara's (minus Jinbei since he hasn't joined yet in this one) sexual life in it, so it might not be for everyone.

Also, it kind of exists outside of reality since it is post timeskip Strawhats in the situation of pre timeskip where they just fuck around.

Nevertheless, let's get into it!

Chastity Of A Mugiwara

It was a normal lunch for the Strawhat Crew. Shouting, scolding and shoving occurred as Luffy ate as much as he could shovel down his throat while everyone else desperately shielded their own plates, followed by an angry Nami hitting Luffy over the head to stop him from touching any more of her food.

Zoro, having finished his plate, poured himself a fifth cup of sake while assisting Chopper with plate defence. After a few more minutes, the chaos came to a close with Luffy getting off of the table to join Brook outside as he prepared to play a song.

Chopper, sitting down on Zoro's lap, looked intrigued for a few seconds before opening his mouth to talk.

"Zoro, who were those women in the last island? Why were they wearing so little?"

Zoro spat out his sake.

"I don't understand.", Chopper continued, "We've seen them a lot in more populated islands. Is it just a fashion?"

Zoro kept silent for a bit while he thought of what to say next, but Franky spoke up first.

"Oh, them? They're just prostitutes."

The room fell silent, except for the thud of Robin's heavy book hitting the recently cleared table.

Chopper looked around at everyone's awkward faces before opening his mouth to talk once again.

"What's a-"

"A prostitute is a sex worker, Chopper.", Robin interrupted, with a disappointed look on her face aimed at Franky. Chopper immediately reacted by blushing in embarrassment and covering his face before looking up at Zoro, who had covered up his eyes with his left hand.

Chopper stuttered as he began to ask Zoro another question.

"So does that mean that those women yesterday who were... You know, flirting with you wanted to have... sex?"

Zoro groaned as Sanji gritted his teeth, rising up in flames.

"They were doing WHAT?!"

Zoro looked up briefly to see Nami with a mischievous grin staring at him. She smugly asked, "Soooo... What did you do?"

Zoro took another swig of his sake before replying, "Nothing. Sex is boring as fuck."

Everyone in the room stopped to look at him, some confused, most indifferent. Sanji was the first one to shout out, "You've had sex before?"

Before Zoro could reply, Nami intercepted.

"Zoro is handsome, has a good figure and looks like he'd be good in bed, so he gets hit on a lot. Did you not notice that?"

"I LOOK LIKE I'M GOOD IN WHAT?!", Zoro roared out, some heat reaching his ears. He clearly, did not notice.

He sighed before replying in an exasperated tone, "Yes, I have had sex before."

Sanji, now fuming, yelled out, "WHEN?!"

"When I was 18, before I met Luffy, I had sex twice. Didn't really like it, so I haven't had it since."

Sanji ran his now sweaty hands through his hair, stressed.

"Who would want to do that with you?"

Zoro paused, furrowing his eyebrows in thought before making a smug grin.

"Of course you'd want to know, you've obviously never had sex with a woman."

Sanji's face went red with embarrassment. "H-how would you know?"

Zoro smirked. "Oh please, you froth at the mouth and shoot blood out of your nose when a woman gets within a metre of you. You'd die before you even got your clothes off!"

"I-I'm saving myself for marriage!"

"Mhm. You have women throwing themselves at you that you have to save yourself from then, obviously.", Zoro replied back cynically.

Nami, in an attempt to stop the fight, cut in by changing the conversations direction.

"Who actually is a virgin on this ship?"

At that moment, Luffy and Brook re-entered the cabin and immediately asked why it was so quiet.

"I'm wondering who is a virgin on the Sunny. We know that Zoro isn't and that Sanji is, but we're finding out the rest now."

Brook looked up for a second (But he doesn't have eyes! Yohohohohoho!) before replying. "When I was still alive, I did have sex on some islands. Of course, since I am just bones, I won't be able to do anything of that sort anymore."

Chopper replied, clearly embarrassed by the topic, "Well, I haven't done anything.", whilst burying his head into his hooves.

Franky joined in, saying, "I had sex back at Water 7 often. Haven't been super interested in it since then though."

Nami finally answered her own question.

"Luckily, I'm still a virgin. I have teased it and almost did it when I was infiltrating pirate crews in the past, but I managed to get away before actually doing anything. I'm not innocent to sex, but I haven't actually done it."

Robin answered after that in a more mellow tone, "Running away for most of my life meant that I had to do anything to survive, even sex. It wasn't very nice in my experience, but it depends on the situation I assume."

The room fell quiet once again as everyone felt slightly upset by Robin's experiences. Luffy interrupted the silence, clearly not reading the room.

" ... What's sex? "

Robin thought for a suitable definition, and turned to Luffy.

"In this context... Intercourse involving genitalia."

She didn't want to ruin his innocence, but he couldn't be too naive either. She hoped that he would be satisfied with her answer and not pry in any further.

"I still don't understand. What's intercourse? What's gen-it-ail-ee-a?"

Zoro spoke up next. As one of the men Luffy was closest to, they all hoped that what he said would work. Then again, this was Zoro.

"Coition. But, like, more broad. "

Everyone on the crew except for Zoro and Luffy collectively facepalmed and/or groaned.

"Oh, like coitus? I've never had sex then."

Nami, much like the other Mugiwara, wore an expression of dumbfounded disappointment. Somehow, Luffy knew what coitus was and not sex, because of course he did. And clearly, clearly Zoro had full trust that Luffy knew, because who else would have such blind faith in their Captain?

"Usopp's the only one left.", she sighed.

"Do you think I've done anything like that before?", Usopp answered back with a clearly displeased tone.

Zoro replied, "You are clearly in love with that one girl, Kaya, but I don't think you've actually done it before."

"HE-HEY!", Usopp cried out like a small cat as he went red.

"He's not lying.", Nami grinned back. Out of the crew, only Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Usopp met Kaya, so many others were confused. However, most could pick up on the tone and smiled accordingly.

Nami continued, "So Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, Sanji and I are virgins, then."

Zoro sat in thought for a few seconds before commenting, "Actually, we only talked about women when it came to the Ero-Cook."

"What are you suggesting, Marimo!?"

"So you haven't had sex with a guy then? Lame."

The room seemed to go silent a lot in that one conversation.

Sanji replied, stuttering slightly.

"You... You have?"

"Oh, yeah.", Zoro grunted lazily, "On my first time the woman said that I didn't seem interested, so she suggested that I was gay. I tried it with a guy later but he said the same thing and that I might be... Asexual or something."

Robin laughed a little bit before continuing. "That seems quite accurate for you. I've never seen you attracted to anyone, so it wouldn't surprise me."

Zoro shrugged before yawning and getting up, gently placing Chopper back into his chair.

"I'm going to go to the gym for a nap."

As he left all the crew could wonder was 'What on the Grandline even was that conversation? '.

They all mentally decided that they were probably not going to talk about that again anytime soon before returning to their posts and allotted tasks.

Alright, hope that wasn't shit.

Also, I totally imagine that Zoro and Luffy had the weirdest talks before Nami joined, which lead to Luffy knowing what coitus means and not sex.

Eh, I think it's funny.
