Everytime i see people draw or portray Nick Valentine to be this oh-so attractive and seductive synth I always can’t help but giggle a little bit because he always looks like he’s about to throw up but is trying to be very brave about it

I am just. SO fascinated by the core theme of dreams in One Piece as it pertains to Usopp. Everyone else has a dream that’s like…either very specific as a goal, very ambitious, or both (some at different levels of quantifiable than others). But Usopp’s simultaneously so simple and so unquantifiable. It’s not a hyperbole, like “bravest warrior of the sea”, for example. It’s just “brave warrior of the sea”. So straightforward. But like, how do you even declare that completed? At which point does Usopp look at himself and go: dream achieved! Because in that case, he’s already achieved it. He achieved it the second he stepped on the merry. He achieved it the second he was terrified scared during a fight and stayed to fight anyway. He achieved it the second he decided to fight everyone he loved because he thought they gave up on their ship. He achieved it the second he put on a mask and pretended to be someone else to be a hero.

The existence of Sogeking is so telling about this because like. He invents a persona in order to be a warrior and feel worthy enough to fight. But that’s still him under there. It seems like Luffy and Chopper aren’t the only ones fooled by the Sogeking persona, Usopp himself believes to an extent that that’s another guy, that’s the brave warrior of the sea he wants to be. But it’s still him!

So like. His journey is less about achieving the dream. It’s more about realizing that he’s already achieved it.

Personally I think there should be more fics/art/etc about an au where Sanji took on Luffy's pain at thriller bark bc of the angst potential

BEFORE ALL THE ZORO FANBOYS FIND ME I agree Sanji would not have handled it nearly as well but that's the delicious part like I don't even think he'd have a "nothing happened" thing bc he'd just be UNCONSCIOUS

ALSO Sanji having such a low opinion of himself and seeing it as just the Right Answer for him to sacrifice himself is >>>> (in the worst/best way)

Sanji on the brink of death and wrestling with all his previous brushes with it

Sanji in the infirmary for weeks on end unconscious and towing the line between life and death

Sanji who doesn't understand why everyone's upset with him once he wakes up

Sanji who starts to see that he's worth caring about and he needs to put himself any level other than dead(heh) last

ZORO who doesn't understand why the idiot cook knocked him out to take the thing that would probably kill him and doesn't know what that funny feeling in his chest is about it (newsflash dummy it's called caring about someone)

Idk I just think as a scenario it's rich for potential and I don't see it enough imo

i want whoever is going to play ace in the live action to become best friends with iñaki, do the funniest youtube challenges with him and then post the silliest behind-the-scenes footage on social media to see them as the cutest siblings and not the marineford tragedy. the acting industry is full of the shittiest people but this is a friendship that i want to see blossoming in real life. i’m manifesting it

Look, I just think that Koby should get to be besties with the entire straw hat crew and also form a “held captive by pirates for several years and forced to work for them and it thoroughly messed me up” support group with Nami.

Also, I think Koby and Luffy should get to hold hands and kiss.

I have often seen people in the tags say something like ‘I don’t get why so many people are into zosan’ so let me explain: it’s a classic shounen rivalry. Two people of mostly equivalent power levels who compete and drive each other to be better. The most popular ship in a shounen is usually a rivalry. Naruto and Sasuke being one of the most obvious examples but another is like half the ships in any sports anime but especially Haikyuu!!

Zoro and Sanji are also the classic trope of ‘two people who work under the main character’ which tbh. Extremely good. Fengqing tgcf another example of a similar sort of deal. zsz have got that whole wings of the pirate king thing going on it Just Makes Sense.

Also they spend 90% of their interactions getting way up in each other’s faces and then fighting about it, of course the natural fandom response to that dynamic is gonna be ‘maybe these guys need to fuck out that tension.’ They’re out here constructing intricate rituals to touch each other’s skin and whatnot.

Other ships are also Very Good for different reasons but like. There is obvious shipping appeal here even if it’s not a dynamic everyone finds compelling, and I think its popularity makes sense given how shounen fandoms usually operate.

#I do enjoy other variations within the straw hats though obviously many ships are very appealing #multi shipping is fun and easy #zosan #one piece #caitie speaks

I like to imagine that at some point after joining the crew that while Sanji was roughhousing with anyone he began laughing and smiling so big as he realized how much fun he was having in being able to do lovingly with someone for once:

Wrestling with Zoro he just starts dissolving into giggles, Zoro puts him in a headlock smiling himself to rub a fist in his hair

He actually plays back with Luffy when he’s draping and wrapping himself all over Sanji again, pulling at Luffy’s cheeks making his captain giggle in return

Resolving himself to giving in to Franky tossing him around and over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes

Him and Usopp get into a paint fight, and he let’s Usopp pin him down to draw all over his face with a brush or his fingers

Chopper at one point wanted to swing Sanji around by his arms in heavy point like how Sanji and others would do for him when he’s in his normal form and Sanji let’s him

The thing i love about Nick Valentine x John Hancock is that the two basically committed idenity theft and believed in the whole “clothes make the man” idea.

Thinks about how the Straw Hats were separated for 2 whole ass years and how much they must have missed each other and explodes

#One Piece #Straw Hat Pirates #Listen to me. 2 years is a LONG fucking time #I can’t even imagine how much they wanted to see each other again #Especially the rest of the crew wanting to see Luffy #Bc they wanted to go to him and see him right away after hearing about Ace!! #AND THEN THEY HAD TO WAIT AN ENTIRE TWO YEARS TO GO SEE HIM #SCREAMS INTO A PILLOW #I’m also thinking about everyone’s close friends within the crew and how much they miss that companionship #Like Usopp and Nami. Franky and Usopp. Zoro and Chopper. UGHHHHH. #When Usopp and Nami met again I almost CRIED NAMI WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM #When the found family comes back together after a long period of time....that GETS me bro #Shima speaks

Straw Hats Ranked on how important being a pirate is to them

10. Zoro

He went from pirate hunter to pirate and it didn’t even cause any kind of internal crisis. His past with pirates is basically negligible, he wasn’t raised by any or befriended any until he met Luffy. He joined the straw hats first as a way to achieve his dream faster, then out of loyalty to the crew and to Luffy and particular. But being a pirate? He’s neutral to that, most likely. He is that now and he doesn’t think about it more than that.

9. Nami

She started out with a very negative view of pirates because of the way she was traumatized by them. None of her friends or immediate family were pirates, so she had no positive emotional connection to them prior to meeting Luffy. So unlike Zoro, who has 0 emotional connections to piracy, she does have one even though it isn’t a positive one. Nami taking on the role of pirate is thus very meaningful as her view on them has changed, and as a result, what it means for her to be one. However, I don’t think she has any particular need to hold onto that title in her personal goals.

8. Franky

Like Nami, Franky initially starts with a negative view of pirates because of his pirate parents abandoning him, and he rejects offers to join pirate crews prior to meeting Luffy. However, I don’t think he hated them to the same extent that Nami did, and hated the world government a lot more. His mentor, Tom, was also allied to and worked with pirates (Gold Roger), and Franky’s ultimate goals very much rely on the freedom that piracy provides. I think Tom is the deciding vote here in placing his importance to the “pirate” title above Nami.

7. Robin

Robin, like Zoro, didn’t have any particular emotional connection to the title of pirate in her childhood, as she didn’t know any pirates during her time in Ohara and only really saw the marines and world government as villains in her life. When she became wanted at age 8 she joined a pirate crew out of necessity before getting kicked out, and later making her way to Baroque Works. So I think being a pirate was her only available option to survive and she saw the role as just that. After joining Luffy and after Water 7/Enies Lobby in particular I think the need to live & travel & find joy in adventure ended up meaning a lot more to her. So I think her association with the pirate title is slightly above the other three mainly based on the newfound context it provided in her life.

6. Sanji

I think Sanji is the first person here who had a loved one that was a pirate before becoming one himself. Sure, his first encounter with Zeff probably turned him off pirates a bit but that resolved itself pretty quick after Zeff sacrificed so much for him. He also interacted with pirates all the time at the Baratie in order to feed them and found a lot of personal satisfaction in feeding hungry pirates. So I think mainly based on Zeff’s pirate past and his job in feeding them, Sanji generally saw pirates in a more positive light and it’s probably meaningful to him to have the same job that Zeff did. On top of that, the freedom the piracy represents contrasted with the prison of the Vinsmoke family means he really values what piracy can provide for him.

5. Brook

We don’t really know Brook outside of piracy, and I think that says a lot about how much he values being one alongside of being a musician. Brook’s whole life and death have all been taken up by being a pirate, and it was pirates who saved his afterlife after he’d been stuck in thriller bark for so long. All his loved ones also seem to be pirates too. It seems he has nothing but positive associations with piracy and very much sees himself as one and nothing more, and it’s a core part of his identity but not necessarily one he thinks about constantly.

4. Jinbe

Jinbe’s emotional connection to piracy I think is very much tied to his reasons of initially joining under Fisher Tiger & the Sun Pirates. It’s pretty clear to me that joining that crew represented freedom & equality for Jinbei, especially under the tutelage of Fisher Tiger. In my opinion Jinbe connect being a pirate directly to his & fisher tiger’s goals of providing freedom and equality to the Fishmen, and therefore being one is very important to him because it is directly tied to his dream. His loved ones also all seem to be pirates, even though he didn’t start his life being one or being connected to them. Gaining leadership roles & warlord titles also I think indicate that he also takes pride in being a pirate specifically.

3. Chopper

I placed Chopper above Jinbe here because while they both place being a pirate in very high regard, I think Chopper got there sooner just by virtue of when he actually encountered pirates & pirate symbolism. I think Chopper’s emotional connection to piracy is a bit more intense than Jinbe’s because of his specific experience and how young he was when he encountered it. To him, piracy was directly connected to Dr. Hiriluk, and he was so certain that the skull & crossbones of the pirates were a good thing that the poison symbol to him meant safety. Even the symbolism of piracy carries emotional weight for Chopper, and Luffy protecting the pirate flag for him is what wins him over completely. Piracy, through Dr. Hiriluk, saved his life and gave him personhood and he very clearly places it in the highest regard.

2. Usopp

Usopp gets placed above Chopper here but only just. Like Chopper, Usopp’s emotional connection to piracy is also family based: Yasopp’s job as a pirate is a great source of pride and love for him. He is fiercely protective of the role of pirates as a result and won’t hear anything negative about them, and about his dad in particular. Because if pirates are bad guys it means his dad is one too, and he absolutely will not accept that. This also means that he’s wanted to be a pirate his whole life as a way to emulate his dad, so piracy has been a goal ever since he could conceive of one. He also places over Chopper here because unlike Chopper, his dream (brave warrior of the sea) is also directly connected to being a pirate, so it’s a one two punch if emotional connection through family and also through his dream.

1. Luffy

Being a pirate is everything to Luffy. It’s the beginning and end of who he is and what he wants and all he loved. It defines his dream and has been the driving force of everything he does ever since he was a child. It is everything that he is, the freedom of it and the journey of it and the reason he met all his dearest friends and family. Luffy is piracy, he is not Luffy without it.

I’m having a lot of feelings about it tonight so I just have to say as a Mexican person, it means so goddamn much to me that a Mexican man was cast to play as Luffy in the live action One Piece

And not only that but Taz Skylar being Spanish and playing my favorite character Sanji feels like the biggest treat in the world to me and there’s so many videos of Taz and Iñaki speaking in Spanish to each other and it feels so natural and wonderful and damn do I just love being Hispanic

Los amos a todos!!

#I’m terrible awful at articulating my feelings but I just feel like I’ve been grasping at straws for Latino rep my whole life and now!! #look!! two beloved characters that mean so goddamn much to me are speaking in Spanish and being themselves and it feels amazing!! #and also! happy Hispanic heritage month!! #one piece live action #one piece #opla #monkey d. luffy #vinsmoke sanji #taz skylar #iñaki godoy #mine

So I’ve got an idea for an AU where Luffy is actually factually the reincarnation of Nika and not just Joyboy’s successor (Nika being a true deity loved people but couldn’t understand them so he ripped part of his being off and turned it into a soul and that soul was Joyboy and then that was a whole thing — not central to this post don’t worry about it)

And one of the key parts of that au idea is that Joyboy lies dormant within Luffy and after Luffy wakes him up Joyboy occasionally takes him over. Not really in a possession sense but more in like a Yugioh kinda way?

And honestly? I think it would be hilarious if Joyboy just. Hates Shanks.

Joyboy was a grown ass adult when he died. Joyboy had a wife and two kids. Joyboy heavily hardcore extremely disapproves of basically all the fathers in One Piece, but Shanks is the worst of the bunch cause Luffy’s not even his kid! He doesn’t even have a right to be using Luffy! And here he is, kicking back with his fucking pirate buddies while Luffy does the dirty work. Good intentions or not Joyboy is Not About The Child Endangerment.

(Garp also absolutely gets a visit from Catch D Hands when Joyboy first meets him.)

But other than the catharsis of watching all of One Piece’s awful parents get got mostly I’m amused by the idea of Luffy and Joyboy fighting like cats in a sack whenever the topic of Shanks comes up because Luffy will insist until he’s blue in the face that Shanks was good to him when he was young and that’s TRUE but it’s also NOT THE POINT LUFFY

#one piece #monkey d. luffy #joy boy #sun god nika #red hair shanks #this isn’t shanks bashing btw #it’s just like the one thing they Don’t Agree On #the name Shanks comes up in conversation #and all the other straw hats are immediately trying to change the topic #because dear god they do not want to listen to this again #Luffy has his ears plugged and is going LALALALA #which doesn’t actually work because Joyboy #is speaking directly into his mind. so noise doesn’t matter.
