We entered this magnum wondering if we could think of anything funny. We left making fun of Dragon knowing we will in fact never be this funny again, truly this power can’t never be reached again

Hi me and @buff-muffin did an absolutely nuts aggie in celebration of finishing DRESSROSA please enjoy our silly ass shit

(pretty much all the blue lined artwork is buff's, mine is the black lineart)

Buff's lovely sailor moon Lucy and Lucy-sabo poses <3

whenever I mischaracterize my blorbos buff calls out my ass

also buff has to keep CHAINS on me to prevent my ass from being spoiled HELP

also in the crowd of dressrosa when they showed the tontattas and everyone was cheering there was just ONE guy who was really fucking upset so I drew this

now time for the dragon drawings

buff has convinced me dragon is secretly a awkward loser who sucks at public speaking and we love him in this house SO THAT'S WHY HE'S A LOSER OK

also we believe he absolutely loves den dens, these artworks show a joke character we made a long time ago, a guy called Dennis who ate the den den zoan type fruit, thus he is called Den Den Dennis

dragon at mcdonalds arc (Sabo and Koala are at the playplace)

we also made up a fruit called the teehee fruit where everything you say is the funniest shit anyone's ever heard and buff decided to design the most emo depressed girl to have it in an awful ironic twist of fate poor girl 😭

AND NOW : please stare at the ENTIRE AGGIE IN IT'S GLORY (holy shit it's so cramped)

thank you for watching this has been the toxic one piece yuri gfs (only girlfriends while watching onepiece) we outtie hereee

Returning to my roots.

I had such a clear image of who was who I was compelled to edit this but they wiggle a lot so the names get lost haha

how many people do i need to strangle to listen to a 30 minute to hour long video essay about the concept of whimsy and joy slowly dying in current day shonen due to the perpetuated idea that joy is inherently childish and and makes you less intelligent to enjoy. And how Oda in not just the reaction of one piece but specifically 5 gear defied all of these ideas in current day manga and continues to be a strong beacon for what shonen jump should be

I remember seeing this guy talk about raising his sons and it kind of made me think of a modern AU Dadan and how I think she would also use one of the methods this guy mentioned. I don't remember the guy who posted or how long ago it was before it resurfaced in my brain, but essentially. he knew his boys needed to rough house, get out the energy of being well behaved all day so he bough a few gym mats and punching dummy's and threw these kids (lightly) around. Which, in of its self, is an amazing thing to give a small boy? a place to be rough and tumble and loud, an outlet for the exhaustion of the day and a place where they could actually practice their strength.

Now the ASL brothers are by no means as gentle and really they're fighting with teeth and claws regardless. but I love the mental image of like. After hours of these boys fighting every second of the day. who gets the first bath, who gets the bigger sandwich, who has to sit middle in the car, who gets the good snack or the last serving or the shower or the top bunk. or whatever other reason they decide to have a BRAWL IN THE FUCKING LIVING ROOM. Dadan finally gave in. going round back of an gymnasium she manages to score some old worn out tumble mats. drags them out to the shed and says "this is where you fight. not in the bedroom. not in my kitchen. not at school. here. and the only rule is you cant cause enough physical injury to have CPS called in my ass again."

now when an adult gives you a round about way to let you beat your siblings ass? you're gonna take it. and the collection grew, second hand boxing gloves, pool noodles cardboard shields and the dangerous stay piece of bamboo. they had their battle arena and would run home to settle a fight from hours before. And also gave Dadan a reason to kick them out of the actual fucking house when they got too rowdy over mario kart.

Of course they still got hurt. punches too hard, slamming into the concrete, a lost tooth a broken limb. But I truly think those memories of running to the shed to fight over who got the last slice of dessert at 9pm must be some of those boys favourites. Dadan considered it a slightly duller head ache

For all the modern AU one piece I've been reading. there's a lack of Law backstories that remember one of the funniest details about the backstory. penguin and Shachi just started following him. like, where's the backstory where Law and whatever partner you ship him with, are at a bar with his friends and the partner asks where they all met and penguin shachi and bepo all laugh like "law beat the fucking shit out of us when we were 12 so we started following him around. and we became friends" BECAUSE THAT ACT IS SO FUNNY??? they probably just walked into his house like they owned the place, they probably just watched everything he did thinking he was cool till they realised this traumatised 12 yo had no idea how to socialise

[buff-muffin]

one thing I've found particularly funny about Law in modern AU's is him having his tattoos, because to a degree it means Cora was in his life and now most likely passed away for whatever reason. which is fine.

But never once in the plethora of Law modern au fics I've read, has someone asked the simple question. "What do your tattoos mean" which is weird, when that's like the second most common question people with tattoos get besides "why would you do that to your body" not once do these authors take the easy way out, sure Law's gotta be edgy and mysterious but like even just a "they're memorial tattoos" would be enough. WHY WONT ANYONE ASK?? mans got death written on his fingers and everyone went "yeah thats a completely normal tattoo for my doctor/ boyfriend/whatever other job laws got, to have on his body."

I think it’s under rated as fuck how fun it is to comment on fanfiction. Like it’s soooooooo fun writing long comments on a fic talking about theories and ideas, wondering what characters will think about a plot point and gushing over little parts. It sooooooo fun. But the best part is when you keep doing this. Commenting on each chapter as it comes out and watching as the author recognises you or even has little conversations related to last chapters comment. It’s so fun being there for them because sometimes if you’re lucky you may even start influencing the story with your theories comments and ideas. And feeling involved and there. Excited even when your not even the author, is just so fun

I wish fandom could be more like this again, when it was a mutual exchange of ideas and excitement and not just consuming fanfiction like actual novels. Can’t we all squeal about our blorbos together?

i want a bounty hunter Garp. i want a garp that gave up on the navy but not his own ideas of justice so he just started punching any one he wants. this includes pirates but also marine officers. Bounty hunters are one of the least scene players in one piece i think a bounty hunter garp working like a vigilante would be AMAZING

[buff-muffin]

Manga spoilers for one piece but been rewatching one piece with a friend slowly. we just finished post ennies lobby and met Koby again. and he mentioned that he wants to be able to thank Garp for all that he's done for him and hellmeppo. i wonder if this will become a reason for Koby to fight tooth and nail to get Garp back. :'(

Sorry seeing this just gave me the funniest head canon that dadan has a handful of family photos, but all of them are a MESS. The boys are covered in dirt, their making faces giving the middle finger or just straight up fighting each other in every photo. And sure it captured them perfectly, but she doesn’t have a single photo with all of them just smiling and looking nice so she tried to fix that.

In the end, the photo doesn’t look much better than any other, but she loves it the most because she WON. Luffy took off that damn hat for a minute, Ace has a shirt on, Sabo isn’t trying to be a smartass and give the middle finger. Sure they look ratty from the sheer amount of wrestling that went into getting them dressed, and sure Luffy got decked two seconds after the flash but DADAN WON. it’s her favourite photo not cause of her boys looking happy. She has a thousand of those. It’s proof she won at least ONE battle against them. Or at least that’s what she says when she keeps it on display.

Dadan's boys!

I have been wanting to start sketching again! And because I keep thinking of Dadan as an ASL mother figure, this little one just popped out. Somehow even in colour ^^

I like many people love to imagine law still has marks from the amber lead though I’ve always imagined it as almost like scars rather then vitiligo. It’s a little hard to explain and I KNOW this isn’t exactly how skin works. But I prefer the idea that law still has patches of white skin that have faded slightly into more of a skin tone but unlike the rest of his skin. Doesn’t tan almost like scar tissue. So in his stay in the north he remained rather pale and it was almost unnoticeable. But when he hit the grandline and more tropical environments he started getting quite the tan that made them REAL obvious.

By Sabaody it was clear as day, though I like to imagine that he lost a bit of his tan with his stay on punk hazard and Luffy very bluntly asked “where’s your spots :(?”

Here’s a visual for what I mean

Amber lead patches remain the same tone no matter what. Though when the mineral was still in his blood stream the patches were a much more violent and sickly white. Think of it maybe like skin bleaching if that makes sense? Idk I like the idea of Law being blessed with the worlds best tanning gene and all it does is make his spots more obvious.

Thinking about the strawhats ships as different cars is so funny cause like. The dingy they stole from buggy just being a bike they stole from a grown ass man would be so fucking funny to me, it’s got tassels, it’s got a basket that Luffy sits in, back pegs for Nami to stand on while Zoro peddles. It’s been holding on for dear life and they trash it the first chance they get.

The Going Merry is actually Merry’s old car he lent Usopp. The name was just a gradual change from “Merry’s car “ to “Merry’s” to “Merry” it was a very natural transition. This thing was already years old when they got it and had a max space of 5. When chopper joined he would just sit in someone’s lap and pray to got he didn’t die on the way to class. And when Robin joined someone was thrown in the trunk to make sure they all fit. Luffy and Usopp being common victims. Many concussions have been obtained.

The sunny is a full on van, a dream car of Franky’s that he modified and painted that can hold all of them with leg space and has surfed them so well. Learning from their lessons they actually make sure this car gets its check ups unlike merry who had been legally unfit for the road for at least three years before she broke down

See to me at least, his insistence on joining the Navy meant something a little different for me. I always thought, that he truly thought that maybe if Ace was a part of the navy, strong enough, useful enough, so it would be more convenient for the world government to keep him around, maybe they won’t kill Ace. Because Garp knows this shitty world. He knows the government sucks and hates the celestial dragons. It’s one of the reasons why he won’t take that promotion but he also knows that being on the government side ensures protection.

This, again. Does not excuse ANYTHING. Because he is so desperate for this idea to work, to be able to protect his family by essentially making them government tools, Garp has A) abused his grandchildren from a young age. B) decided to ignore all the things wrong with the navy and world government by in a sense falling for their threats, and is doing nothing to make a world for them where children like ace don’t have to hide.

Garp is a shitty person. He knows the navy is shit and is an army that only exists to protect the one percent, but unlike LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE IN HIS FAMILY he continues to stay as a way to in force his own justice and do what’s right ignoring the bigger picture.

Yes he wants the best for Ace but trying to make him a government weapon to ensure his protection is NOT ok???

I love this shitty old man so much and I’m so SO curious to see if he is going to change

I'm by no means a Garp defender. i think he's a pretty shitty person and that's why i enjoy him. but i saw a post about him and calling him a shit parent (fair enough) but one thing at least in my opinion I wanna point out is this scene.

because a lot of people rightfully say he should have comforted Ace in that moment and told him he does matter cause he is no older then ten in this moment and thinking he should be dead and Garp says nothing. which again you're right, shit parent moment here.

But i genuinely believe there was nothing Garp could say that would convince Ace any different. Ace has thoroughly convinced himself and believes he does not deserve to live and Garp saying any different would either not be believed or simply treated as pity and hated. that "you just saying that to make me feel better" mindset. And i think Garp knows this. he knows this stubborn angry kid and knows he cant convince him any different. Ace needs to decide who he is as a person and maybe he will find the love and acceptance and ANSWER to the question. That doesn't mean Garp is blameless. or a good parent or ANY of that praise. Garp sucks but he knows this was something Ace had to decide himself and so, he told him as such. even if he should have said more.

Thinking about Bonney wearing space buns to match her dads bear ears :’)

Finally got around to reading some of those Lawlu fics i was recommended ages ago. I’ve only read a handful and do plan on read more of them but I’m so sad none of these fics capitalise on my favourite part of their dynamic.

Because something I’ve always found fun about them is that Law as a character always sees everything as an exchange, everything is a deal. I owe you's are important to law. He doesn’t do anything for anyone without an idea of something in return and he won’t accept help from anyone without any way to pay them back because he would rather DIE then be indebted to anyone. Because this was exactly how Doflamingo manipulated people. This is how he’s TAUGHT law the world works this is all he knows.

Many people think that he saved Luffy in Marineford out of sympathy or understanding after Law himself has lost so much and understands Luffy. But that's just not it to me. Law saw this crazy bastard willing to punch a CELESTICAL DRAGON, and probably thought something along the lines of "damn. i need him on my team." and what a fucking bargaining chip to hold over someone's head "I saved your life" is. Law was trying to get any form of control over Luffy because it would be smarter then making an enemy. So when Luffy and his crew pulled up to PunkHazard. Law probably just intended to use that ' I owe you' He still has on Luffy and try strike a deal. Little did law know. Luffy doesn't do deals, if he didn't want to do something he wont. and to Luffy he didn't owe Law anything. but between a plan to take down an emperor and a friend asking for help. he was in. Law is in on this alliance as a deal where Law gets to take down Doflamingo (and kaido) and Luffy gets to take down Kaido (and doflamingo.) But to Luffy, this was friends working together for a common end goal. So when things fall to shit and Law cant pay back Luffy for all the things he's doing for him. he cuts off the deal and the alliance because he cant be indebted. But Luffy does it anyways cause their friends. Luffy doesn't expect anything from Law for defeating Dofi. and Law has to grapple with this. grapple with this KINDNESS. the idea that he doesn't owe Luffy anything. the idea that Luffy simply did that because he cares about him. the idea that someone who doesn't even know all the sides of him, cared so much to take down someone who hurt him. its so foreign to Law. to just simply be cared for. Its genuinely one of my favourite parts of their dynamic even if its subtle and just my way of reading their dynamic
