“our brotherhood is my treasure.”

[joysstar]

You know what makes me sad? When in ASL fics, Ace and Sabo seem to only care about Luffy. As if they weren't each other's first friend, their light in the darkness.

Ace had no one before Sabo. That's why he kept going in bars asking asking asking. Sabo was the first to accept him, the first to love him. Dadan was forced into it and she never sugar coated it either. Garp gave him away at the first opportunity. Sabo though? Sabo doesn't care about any of that. Sabo cares about him, not his blood, not his father, not the burden on his shoulders — hell, he's right there next to him, taking on the load with a grin.

Sabo ran away from home because everyone, and I mean everyone there was rotten to the core. He'd lost all hope and he couldn't take it anymore. He had to leave. He'd have gone insane if he stayed a single more second there. Ace was like the first breath of fresh air. Ace was different. Not like the nobles in High Town. Ace was good.

They gave each other Hope again. That it didn't always have to be like this. That things could change. That they could leave this place behind someday.

So it really breaks my heart when people make them fight over Luffy like he's some kind of trophy to be earned, like an achievement. “Look at me, I'm his favourite.”

They love each other. They care for each other. They're brothers.

Making my way through the One Piece Heroines novel and so far Robin's chapter where she's traveling with the Revolutionary Army is my favorite! And it was set during Robin's journey to Sabaody, which means all kinds of stories like this could have happened over those two years she was with them!

Robin didn't used to like looking at the ocean at sunset because it reminded her of Ohara burning (cries)

Sabo hates being excluded from chores and regularly puts himself in the roster. In this story, he's the chef for this voyage because its a short trip that doesn't require a professional chef. He seems to be a decent cook, though he ends up botching a recipe with bitter mushrooms but nobody says anything because a) food is too precious to waste and b) they don't mind rubbery shrooms if Sabo was the one who made them.

Part of the Revolutionary Army's duties include preserving historical ruins, texts, and artifacts in conflict zones and transporting the relics to universities where they'll be safe (Teacher Dragon intensifies)

Koala is willing to study a stone tablet all night, analyzing symbols and comparing them to languages she's found in other texts simply because she wanted to understand what it was this person from centuries back wanted so badly to preserve on a stone tablet that was buried underground where it was sure to last. There's a direct parallel established between her and Robin who felt that same joyful sense of discovery and connection when she was learning to decipher inscriptions at Ohara.

Apparently Rome or some Roman equivalent exists in Blue Planet since the language system is divided into two categories : pictographs like the Caligraphic strokes in Wano and the letters of the Roman alphabet.

The tablet came from Eucaly, a city-state that had formed in between the friction of its two surrounding nations that maintained its independence for a while until it was absorbed into the World Government. Even though their script was different, their spoken language was unified with the common tongue, Kayogo, which meant Koala was able to use a phoneme grid called Soncrucian to translate the tablet. And what does it turn out to be?

A recipe for mushroom and egg soup.

A mushroom soup that they make the next morning which everyone loves and even Dragon, who was holed up in his chambers for the past few days, comes out for a bowl! 😭😭

I adore the insight we get in novelizations of visual media because this shit is GOOD.

Robin learning to overcome trauma induced avoidant behaviors? Amazing, excellent showing of character development from the inside.

Sabo having a pathological need to be helpful/useful? Delightful, he either needs therapy, or he has learned to recontextualize this need as a self-soothing behavior for restlessness through therapy.

The Revolutionary Army Indiana Jones-ing this shit on the regular? Beautiful, also in line with the Amaru being depicted in places of knowledge but that’s the tinfoil hat talking.

Koala being a little nerd oh my god I love her. Archeological romanticism is fucking awesome because how many recipes in the world have been rediscovered in this way?

Also One Piece Rome? Interesting. I wonder of if it was near Dressrosa, or had some entwined history with Dressrosa.

And finally…

If Dragon being batshit insane enough to build an entire army that’s putting a helluva lot more than a dent in the 800 year status quo within twenty or so years isn’t proof enough that he’s a Monkey D, being lured out of his den by the promise of yummy food definitely is. Give that man a bowl, paperwork don’t get done on an empty stomach!

Sabo and the Revolutionary Army on the new One Piece opening:

[joysstar]

I just want to say how much I adore the women of One Piece, not just on a ‘holy moly these women are beautiful’ but also on ‘holy moly these women are so well written’

I love how many layers the lady’s have, even those who are not part of the main cast

Nami acting as the brains of the crew, but always being up to scrap with the boys and put them in their place, her fear of trusting and being betrayed being a core aspect of her character. WCI and Wano are pretty recent examples of this, with her anger at Sanji, and her belief in Luffy. I love how confident she is in her self, and how she is a little evil sometimes she’ll use everything at her disposal to get what she wants. How she knows that she’s needed on the crew and without her they would’ve all drowned along ago, and she’s beautiful and cute and she knows this. I hate people thinking that she’s less of a character post timeskip just because of her appearance, she’s so much more than that

Vivi’s love of her people and her country, her worrying nature and her desire for adventure despite her position. Her care for the crew despite the small amount of time she knew them. Also how she’s basically the main character of Alabasta, and how she’s the one saving her country

Robin going from someone who was always looking over her shoulder, always running and never having a real place to call home. To someone who knows she has a family who loves her and will protect her no matter what, and she can be her strange morbid self without judgement (other than from Usopp)

Viola and Rebecca, two ladies forced into a living hell under Dolfamingo. One humiliated by her own people and forced to fight for her life when at heart she just wanted peace, and the other whose soul was almost broken by Doffy but chose to fight against him even if she knew she wouldn’t win. Viola going to stab Doffy even if she knew she would fail shows her strength as she stood up against him even if it could’ve meant death because she wanted to do what she could

And there are so many others that are just as amazing:

- Big Mom: a major villain with a twisted idea of family and love. One of the most powerful pirates in the sea, all this strength but she’s still just someone that was abandoned by the world and became obsessed with filling that void

- Pudding: a woman twisted by the abuse she suffered hating herself and lashing out at others in turn. And how that persona comes crashing down when showed only a bit of kindness

- Boa: the strong powerful empress, who is deeply scarred and can’t show any weakness to her people. And just wants to be loved by someone who sees more than her beauty

-Reiju: the older sister that had to go along with her little brothers abuse, and helped when she could. But only when she couldn’t be the target, she’s flawed and distant but she loves her brother

- Bonny: a literal child who braved the seas to save her father and became one of the most wanted pirates of her generation in under two years, scrappy and tomboyish with a soft heart for her dad

These ladies are living breathing characters! And there are some many others that are just the same, they are all so well developed and different from each other in character. And none of them are just there to be, ‘the girl in the group’ or the ‘love interest’ (though Boa likes Luffy and Pudding likes Sanji neither are their main character traits and have story reasons for being in love)

I love them so much

I love women
