TJ: For Y’all shitting on his name
I’m actually pretty damn proud of Luke Mullen in his choosing of TJ’s name.
Jagger of course after Mick Jagger. Jagger was of course the lead singer for The Rolling Stones and an overall iconic rockstar. He was known for his gender non-conforming stage persona in the 70s. He experimented with Glam Rock fashion, and makeup, and had quite the extravagant stage-presence. Jagger is notoriously bisexual and has been with many men and women in his time, including Princess Margaret and David Bowie.
Thelonious is most likely after Thelonious Monk, a Black Pianist and a prominent jazz artist from Harlem. He was known for his fantastic improvisation skills and compositions. He was an active jazz artist for nearly 40 years and was in a quartet with John Coltrane. Monk was also a victim of Police Brutality like many Black men in America. In 1958, on his way to a gig, where he was pulled over by police officers. When he refused to answer their questions, he was beat unconscious with a club-like weapon known as a Blackjack. Monk also suffered from severe mental illness that was misdiagnosed several times, he was put on narcotics, lithium, and other hard medications to try to ‘fix him’. Monk died in 1982 to a stroke.
So I’m proud of Luke’s picks, having TJ named after a gender non-conforming bisexual rock star and a mentally ill strong black man.
Can't draw and don't like writing but still wanna do something fun/creative to engage in One Piece fandom so I'm making Spotify playlists based off of what I think they'd like/listen to. I don't know every song ever so I'd love to hear what others think! I listen to lots of music so the playlists will get longer over time. Starting with Eustass Kid because I love him soooo much and one of his hobbies is listening to music!!

Another example of why Freddie is the best frontman who will ever exist.
