Can't You Read?

One Piece | Zoro & Sanji/Zosan | G

“Your what?” “My dyslexia,” Zoro repeated, far too calmly considering the absolute bombshell he had just dropped into their conversation. “You know, the thing that makes it hard to read?” For a long moment all Sanji could do was gape at him, head spinning as he was forced to grapple with this new reality in which Zoro—apparently—had dyslexia, and Sanji had just made fun of him for not being able to read. “Wait. Wait wait wait,” Sanji stuttered out when he finally found his voice again, heart beating a rapid staccato against his rib cage because what the fuck. What the fuck. “When—you—I—but—since when have you had dyslexia?!”

In which Sanji discovers that Zoro has dyslexia in the most panic inducing way possible.

Tags: platonic or pre-relationship, character study, character headcanon, awkward conversations, learning disabilities Notes: hey all! this is an exploratory piece that i've had cooking on the back burner for a while about zoro having dyslexia. you can read more about why on Ao3, but just as a quick disclaimer before we begin: i myself do not have dyslexia. the headcanon and this piece were inspired by the experiences of my sister's fiancee and my good friend R, who was kind enough to consult with me on the particulars showcased here. with that said, please enjoy!

Re: the headcanons I shared in this post...

Man. I really do enjoy headcanoning Q as the World's Worst Date.

Like, I adore Q. He's my special baby boy. And I think Bond adores Q, too. I think Bond believes Q is the best date.

But on a date with anyone else, I feel like Q just sucks so bad.

First of all, there's only a 30% chance he'll show up. He may get busy in the labs and forget he had a date. He may have one of his eternal and recurring 'work emergencies' (which he always refuses to explain). One of his cats may develop a slightly upset tummy, and of course Q is not going to keep the date if one of his babies might be ill! Never mind that you booked this restaurant six months in advance or that those theater tickets are nonrefundable and cost you £200 apiece!

But even if he manages to keep the date, I feel like Q is still just The Worst.

He will talk, very passionately and enthusiastically, about some really boring topic his date absolutely does not care about. (Might be something to do with physics. Might be some obscure detail related to 17th century French oil painting. Might be something about cat biology. Who knows! Q has so many interests and opinions, and he would like to share all of them!)

He will 'well, actually...' you. Not with malice! Not to mansplain! Just because he thinks being accurate and factual is extremely important, and of course you want to know if you're mistaken about something...don't you??

He will debate things over the dinnertable. He will provoke a passionate, determined, bare-knuckle academic debate at a candlelight restaurant while a violinist plays in the corner, because that is what's fun for him and he forgets this is not always fun for everyone else.

Q is extremely cute and extremely kindhearted and extremely loyal and really a lovely partner overall! ...But he literally never gets asked on a second date.

Until he meets James H. Bond, who thinks it's very fun and interesting when Q infodumps at him about nanotechnology! He delights in Q arguing with him about increasingly pedantic things, stubbornly refusing to cede any ground whatsoever!

And of course Bond understands about cancelled dates and work emergencies. (He is probably at HQ, too, dealing with the same emergency!). And of course he would not expect Q to keep a date if one of the cats are unwell.

Honestly, I think Bond is very contemptuous of the men who previously dated Q and foolishly declined to ask him on a second date. (You couldn't handle it when Q argued with you for 20 minutes about the aesthetic merits of neoclassical architecture? Skill issue, tbh. Bond is built different. Arguing is such a fun activity! The best part of any date! Needling and pestering and provoking one's partner is the height of enjoyment! Truly, some people have no appreciation for the finer things in life...)

IDK, I just like it when 00Q are meant2be in the most eccentric of ways.

getting a mean comment on Ao3 sucks but the real crime is not having to read somebody's lazy attempt to be shitty, but rather the experience of an Ao3 comment email notification and not getting the expected good endorphin rush :c

I love platonic Durgetash man.

The whole idea that the absolute most dangerous thing to both of these people is having a genuine friend.

[goodlookingforagirl]

I met someone here on Tumblr 12+ years ago and she’s since deactivated, but she’s become one of my best friends and finally, after all this time, she’s coming to visit me and she’s arriving any minute. I am so unbelievably stoked, I’m just standing in my driveway waiting. This is the kind of shit that keeps me alive. I just can’t fucking wait!!!!!!

[velveteenoutlaw]

what’s the rdr headcanon of yours that’s so ingrained you sometimes forget it’s not actually canon?

i have to remind myself that Arthur isn’t gay in canon 😔
