Breathing into a paperbag thinking about the possibility of Elbaf digging the conflict from Water 7 back up again and maybe exploring some long-term repercussions of Luffy and Usopp’s fight that not even they themselves were aware of and and and and and-
LISTEN. the Water 7 Saga absolutely rewired the way I understood the crew and how each member views themselves and the roles they play. And it’s been some time since the Strawhat’s exploration of the New World has allowed them to really take time and consider themselves and each other like that again.
And Elbaf just sounds (MUAH) like such a wonderful opportunity to do exactly that, it sounds perfect, primarily in the way it ties all the way back to the Strawhat’s early days on the Grand Line. And when you look at the presence of the Giant Pirates in Little Garden and Enies Lobby, what they share is that both times the Giants Served the purpose mirroring the conflicts between the crewmates and highlighting the importance of loyalty and comradery. Shit writes itself. Come on Elbaf don’t let me down. Come on Usopp I know you can hit us with another world shattering arc just take the stage love.

What if Ghost wears his mask because, after all the torment his father rained on him... he got the nervous tic of smiling AND laughing...
He starts getting nervous and his lips start to twitch up into a smile.... He can't stop it. It just... happens
Someone can be brutality killed in front of him but because of his father, his lips just twitch into a smile instead of a frown or grimace. It doesn't reach his eyes so no one really knows it, but he feels disgusted with himself anyway. Smiling and laughing at someone suffering? "What kind of monster are you Simon?"

So ik everyone refers to reader as ‘they’ out of convenience more than anything else but it’s funnier to me to think of them 1. being a gender less being and you just can’t tell and 2. one day earlier on, they had to approach Alcina and just awkwardly be like ‘so… My binder was ripped the night I came here… And I feel weird without it… Is there a chance I could have one ordered in?’ or smth
Cue Alcina just staring blankly as they try to explain what a chest binder is 😭😭 she’s supportive but probably like ‘I didn’t think you had any???’
HELP ME SDKJFHSDKJFHSDKJ
i feel like they've definitely had a conversation before where Reader explained their identity as best they could (with the girls getting it pretty quick and Alcina... struggling a bit), and on the off-chance someone says something or calls them the wrong thing (intentionally), it's a warning at first and to the cellar after that
(they want to make sure their idiot bird is happy and comfortable <3)
imagine how much they would have smiled when it came in, though 😔 more lively than they had been in recent days and easily excitable now that they feel a little better. i bet the Dimis would still think back on that day from time-to-time, just remembering the bright grin on their face as they showed off their flatter chest </3
