Hi 💕💕 I'm recently into one piece too and I'm enjoying it a lot. Could I request for Zoro with s/o who's really sweet and polite, but she handles a lot of emotions and doesn't want to disturb anyone, and have a sudden breakdown because of it. Sorry if it's too specific idk how to express the idea 🥺 I'm looking forward to see your writing 💕 thank uuu

hi! first off, i am very sorry that it took so long for me to get this out but this last weekend was so much busier than i expected! second off, this is my first time writing for zoro and i am VERY excited because he’s easily my favorite one piece character so far! i really hope i did him justice <3 

as i’m just starting writing for one piece and i’ve never written for an anime before, i’m open to any and all constructive criticism but pls don’t be mean bc i am truly so sorry if this sucks

-you were a people pleaser by nature. you wanted everyone to be happy all the time, even if it meant sacrificing taking care of yourself to take care of them.

-zoro had known that about you pretty much from the moment he met you. truthfully, he loved how much you cared for other people, but he also worried that you weren’t taking care of yourself in your attempts to make sure everyone else was okay

-he knew you tended to bottle up everything so as not to disrupt anyone else’s day by talking to them about it

-he desperately wanted to help you, but he wasn’t totally sure how to. he would hold you at night and assure you that he was there to help you like you help everyone else, but this is who you had always been and it wasn’t easy to change it.

-at this particular point in time, it felt like everyone around you was having some very strong emotions. anger, sadness, fear -- whatever it was, they were all struggling and, as always, you ended up being the comfort for everyone.

-(you had this natural calming, nurturing vibe about you that just made people want to turn to you when things got hard, and you really didn’t mind it usually, but things were getting really hard right now.)

-nami was venting to you about something or another. you tried really hard to listen, but your head was starting to pound with the stress of having everyone’s burdens on your shoulders, and it was getting hard for you to follow the intricacies of her story. all you could do was nod and give some quiet verbal acknowledgements to encourage her to keep talking, but if she had asked you a question, you were so fucked because you weren’t tracking with her

-once she finally finished venting, she hugged you, and then left because luffy and usopp were causing a commotion out on the deck, leaving you down below deck sitting with your head in your hands

-it was getting dark outside, and your head hurt, and you were so overwhelmed with everything. you considered getting zoro because really all you needed was someone to come sit with you for a minute, but he was in the middle of his training and you didn’t want to interrupt him (despite the fact that he’d told you countless times before that he didn’t mind you interrupting him if you needed him)

-so instead, you sat for you don’t know how long, trying to gather yourself when really you felt like you were going to explode if you didn’t somehow let some of this out. the emotions were flooding you, and you needed some outlet or else you were going to drown in it. you just knew it.

-before you could think about that anymore, zoro finally came looking for you.

-”(y/n?)” he asked as he walked in, shutting the door behind him quietly once he saw you there. you didn’t even look up at him as he walked in, and you definitely didn’t speak. if you did, you would start crying, so you kept your jaw clenched tight

-he came and kneeled down in front of you in an effort to get you to look at him, taking your hands into his. he was still sweaty and shirtless from his workout, but it didn’t bother you any. “(y/n),” he repeated, and you finally glanced at him just long enough to see the worried look on his face, then you squeezed your eyes shut

-”don’t look at me like that,” you mumbled. after you spoke, you sniffled once, still trying your hardest to keep it all in. you didn’t want to break down now. that wasn’t who you were. you were the strong one who was there for everyone else, not the one who cried alone.

“what’s going on?” he asked, still not looking away from you. you shook your head. “are you okay?” he asked, and -- of course -- that was what did it. you didn’t even have it in you to answer. all you could do was cry.

-you weren’t totally sure how that one question could send you over the edge so easily, but it did. you sobbed hard, harder than you had in far too long.

-zoro didn’t hesitate to pull you into his arms, moving so that he was sitting on the bed and he could pull you into his lap to hold you better as you cried into his shoulder. he didn’t say anything, just rubbed his hand up and down your back and let you cry until you couldn’t cry anymore.

-then, once your tears stopped, he leaned back just a little until he could look at you and wipe away the last of them.

-you told him everything then, about how you’d gotten overwhelmed with everyone else’s burdens piling up along with your own negative feelings, and he listened to it all.

-after that night, he promised himself (and you, though he’d never actually said it out loud) that he wouldn’t let you get to that point again

-he started making more of an effort to make sure you were being taken care of. where you slacked, he would pick up. he wasn’t good with words, but he made it a point to show you every day that you weren’t in this alone and that you had someone in your corner with him

-long story short, zoro loves you very much and wishes you would take good care of yourself because yes, life is hard and feelings are A Lot, but you’re not alone <3

hiii !! i love u so much n holy shit DADDY NATSUO AHHH IT WAS AMAZING IM ON MY KNEES IT WAS SO GOOD <333

i think this was my first time being active on ur blog while you were in the process of producing this fic and i lovedd how determined u were to finish it even though it was a shit ton of work and takes a load of time to get something like that done,,,i have a lotttt of trouble staying motivated to do things i really wanna do (nd things i have no desire to do but have to get done :/) bc i’m so lazyyy n just keep pushing it off…which leads me to askk….what keeps you motivated to do the things u do n don’t desire even though it can take a lot of time n work to accomplish that goal?

if u have a lot of asks to respond to don’t worry about this one! ur health is wayy more important! i love uuu pls take care of yourself n drink some tea n take naps!

AAAAH HELLO!!! <333 i love u more!!!!! ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ༶ )

ehehehe thank you so much bb i’m super duper glad to hear that you enjoyed it!!! <33

OH hehe thank you!!! AH OKAY. hehehehe i know i’ve definitely talked about this a long long long time ago but i can’t find the ask to link you SO!! <3

when it comes to writing, this is going to sound SO fucking cheesy but what keeps me motivated is purely the fact that i love doing it so much. i love the craft, and writing makes me feel better and happy, so that’s my main motivation most of the time!! but in addition to that, i went to school for film (with a focus on screenwriting), and we were taught (forced) to continue working despite a lack of motivation; to just grit our teeth and force our way through because we love creating and want to do it for a living, and this is a very important skill to have if we plan on pursuing that! so that’s a skill i developed and strengthened while in university!

moreover, i love seeing my own hard work pay off; i love finally finishing a piece, reading it and going ‘wow, i’m really proud of this/happy with this’ you know??? especially after working on it for a long time. so that’s also a massive driving force; just creating something i’m happy with!!!

making playlists also helps keep me motivating while writing!!! and i’m always thinking about how excited i am to share it with my blog, and to see how they’ll react to specific parts, etc etc <3

when it comes to things i don’t want to do, i do a few things!

- i usually break the task down into smaller, more manageable pieces, especially since most things i don’t want to do cause me immense anxiety

- i try to keep the outcome in mind and remind myself of how relieved i’m going to feel once it’s over, or how accomplished i’ll feel once it’s done

- i promise myself small rewards if i work for a set amount of time and achieve that goal!! my rewards are usually just watching something or spending time with someone special to me, but it works well for me!! it helps me really sit down and focus on the few hours i’ve set aside for myself to do the work, knowing that i get a nice little break after it’s over <3

aaaah anon bb i hope this helps a little bit!!! it definitely requires some self-discipline, but self-discipline is a skill we’re all capable of, and a skill we all possess!! all you have to do is strengthen it!
