Luffy is so aro/ace nonbinary/gender nonconforming coded pass it on

But seriously, Luffy is the only acceptable “man” on Amazon Lily and is literally shown to not care about romance, gender, or sexuality for themself and for others

[khryptid]

Can we talk about how Toei’s animation of One Piece wants to white wash Robin so bad, that the clips of pre time skip Robin have the exposure cranked up so much, it’s at the point of erasing the line art.

Seriously, LOOK AT THIS

gear 5 luffy's magical girl transformation in the newest ep is so good!!

i love this bugs bunny lookin ass so much!!

[khryptid]

Okay but imagine making a toothpick out of the stem of your Devil fruit, like how bad ass would that be??

Like…

Occasionally, they pick up a pack of toothpicks when the crew makes port. Cheaper than cigarettes, and better than biting at their nails, it gives their anxiety something to worry at without compromising their health,,,,or their image.

Just the fact that their bounty poster caught a picture of them smirking with one in their mouth cemented it as a part of their “look.” Not that they’re complaining, it certainly helps them come off as more confident than they actually feel at times. Now, if only they could figure out how to flick them with any accuracy, it’d be a good unassuming weapon to have.

But recently, the pack they picked up from that small island was pretty odd. The taste was kind of bleh, most likely from the dye used to color them, but when they saw a pack of purple, they just had to have them. This latest toothpick though tastes downright gross, like the wood had rotted. Knowing their luck, they were dyed to hide the wood decay, but alas, on the seas, waste not want not.

It’s only after chewing on it for a bit, they’re starting to feel kind of weird…

Or…

Zoro would totally be the idiot to chew on a Devil fruit toothpick and get powers. It’d be a Paramecia with a kind of pointless power (like I’m talking reeeaaal random, growing flowers on his green grass hair or conjuring butterflies or something) that he’d never use because it’d take away from his dream of “becoming the world’s greatest swordsman” on his own power. But he’d have it the whole time on the down low, and once in a blue moon, there’d be a gag episode where it’s the only way to save the day.

Like I’m talking about that swirly stem that the majority of them seem to have

THE PRETTIEST GOD IN EXISTENCE ☀️

[khryptid]

Just had the idea for a competent! Buggy AU that has him working as a secret info broker and publisher of social commentary on the World Government and the Marines.

He’s still known as the silly bordering on stupid clown pirate, but while he’s based in the East Blue, he writes short manifestos on what the Roger pirates stood for and snippets from their adventures. For the most part, he tries to reverse the propaganda that demonized Roger. He also comments on corrupt Marines and and the horrific atrocities of the Celestial Dragons; the World Government has been looking for the anonymous writer for years yet the best they’ve managed is destroying the papers but not before they start influencing some of the masses.

Marineford goes differently when he gets his hands on the video transponder snail. Instead of showboating, he does a brief catch-up of what’s happened in the battle but also starts expounding on the corrupt logic of the Marines while using Sengoku’s quotes on “absolute justice” to explain to the world they too could be the ones on the chopping block even if they don’t deserve it. He even goes on about censorship, in that the Marines are already changing the narrative of the day-for one, disabling the video, but also in blaming a child for someone else’s deeds which only leads him into spilling the sins of Baterilla. Before the day is over, civil unrest is increasing across the four Blues and the Grandline.

[khryptid]

Really getting to the point of “write the fic you wish to see in the world”

[khryptid]

First was Sanrio x My Hero Acdemia crossover, then Sanrio x Naruto, (and Sanrio x JJK tho I haven’t watched that yet) but I would love LOVE for there to be a Sanrio x One piece crossover.

A little Hello Kitty Luffy whose straw hat has a bow on it,,,yes please!

A scowling Badtz-Maru dressed in green with 3 swords and an eye scar,,,say no more!

And I definitely have ideas for the rest!

[khryptid]

Another thing that makes the straw hats stand out as a crew is that they have snack time.

From what I’ve seen about other pirate crew, they’re usually tight on food. Whether it be rationing or straight up starving, they always have a limit on how much they eat.

But not the straw hats. They have a huge kitchen and dining area. Their cook has specialized menus for each and every person he meets. It’s seen in the way he adapts to feed zoro, who doesn’t eat overly sweet things and which chopper, who does like sweet things. He does all that while also doing his job and making sure they’re all healthy.

A testament to his skills as a cook is just how much the straw hats grew as he began feeding them. Luffy got taller, Usopp and Zoro got more muscle, Namis body began actually filling out, because they all had likely been underweight before or borderline malnourished before.

As a crew, they’re different. They have snack time, everyone gets something catered to them. Even for how much sanji puts in a facade of only doing it for the girls, he still feeds the boys and modifies each serving for them.

Another thing, each crewmate has an area designed for them. Franky specifically designed the ship with them in mind. People he met like, 46 hours before. He synced up to their wave length right on away.

Zoro has the crows nest, Nami has her own office, Robin has a seat on the deck and the library, Usopp has two separate workshops dedicated to him, and of course, Luffy has his special seat on the the figure head of The Thousand Sunny.

They’re a special crew because they know how the others work, they know each other so well that it’s like they’re operating on a higher frequency.

compared to a lot of other crews we see? They’re special, because they have snacktime

[khryptid]

It’s International Asexuality Day today!! but more importantly I want to share my hc that the entire Strawhat crew is some form of ace (I’m big on them being demisexual bc I am and also the ✨Power of Friendship✨is real big with them).

For the breakdown:

Luffy: ace, like all the way (but not sex repulsed). Meat and adventure are the only things on his brain.

Zoro: most likely grey-ace; sometimes he feels it, more often not, but between protecting the crew and training for his dream, he’s got other things to care about.

Nami: could easily flip flop ace (sex repulsed) or demisexual. She knows how she looks and will use it to her advantage, but I think with her origin story, she would be incredibly careful on who she is vulnerable with.

Ussop: 100% demisexual. My man’s befriended one person as a kid and that’s who he’ll simp for the rest of his life. (It’s Kaya, I’m incredibly sappy for childhood friends to lovers)

Sanji: demisexual; for all his flirting ways, he wants a meaningful connection that could potentially last a lifetime. (I feel between the little moments of protecting the crew and watching each other’s backs, Zoro could easily become that lifelong connection)

Chopper: ace; he’s a baby and focused on being the best doctor. (Could change when he’s older bc sexuality is fluid, but he’s got years to go)

Robin: grey-ace; while her own feelings only pop up once in a blue moon, she definitely takes the chance to ask about the romantic/sexuality culture and it’s effects on society of whatever island they’re visiting when she can.

Franky: ace (sex positive); he’s always more interested in building ships/new gadgets or modifying his body, but he’s not against sharing a moment with someone he cares for. (Maybe Robin-Idk I can see them as an aunt and uncle to the younger Strawhats but Morticia and Gomez Addams style)

Brook: when he was alive, demisexual, but now, definitely ace. Even with his running panties gag, he doesn’t actually feel anything and does it more as a way to lighten tension or humanize himself in the eyes of those who might be afraid of a talking skeleton. (Brook’s thought process, “they can’t be screaming at me in terror if they’re berating me for being a pervert”)

Jinbe: grey-ace; back in the day he was more into it, but honestly, he’s got a crew to look out for, enemies to fight, and freedom to share with the world so who has the time or the energy to think about it.

[khryptid]

With being raised on the Baratie, I feel like Sanji’s issues should be more of a gender crisis than a sexuality crisis.

That’s not to say the two issues aren’t interconnected, but the entire crew of the Baratie lived there full time. Wikipedia says there were 23 chefs, and from what I can tell in the screenshots, they were all men and/or masculine-presenting. I find it highly probable at least a couple were involved in some version of a romantic/FwB/queerplatonic relationship.

This is all to say, that for Sanji’s fawning over women, I can’t help but to headcanon him as a phenomenal disaster bi.

[khryptid]

Do you know what I hate in one piece's ffs?

When Sanji throws the cigarette overboard in the sea, like the man literally wants to find the All Blue and you tell me he'd litter??

[khryptid]

I feel like the hot take I had while brushing my teeth is gonna get some hate but,,,

I’m not the biggest fan of Ryan Reynolds Deadpool. He’s not bad, he’s got the crass innuendos and the quippy comebacks down pat, but he doesn’t come off as kind to me.

And I know you’re prolly thinking, “He’s Deadpool. He’s not meant to be kind; he’s meant to kick ass and take names.”

But that’s the thing, for all the nonsensical violence, Deadpool has a moral code. And it may not be the strictest, but it’s there. From Reynolds’ Deadpool’s uncaring prison interactions with Rusty to his giddy enjoyment of making his friends/acquaintances uncomfortable when he’s regrowing his bottom half (and tricking Blind Al into touching him there🤮), it all feels like I’m watching a 1-dimensional caricature where the crudity was preserved at the sake of the compassion.

Reynolds’s Deadpool does not give me the vibe that he could step away from the crude humor to have a serious moment. Like I can’t imagine him helping a lost and crying kid to calm down and then find their parent. Even now, I’m working through possible scenarios in my head and they all devolve into “oh ice cream would make you feel better (insert innuendo about banana splits) or “maybe if you can’t keep track of your kid you shouldn’t be a parent (cue trauma flashback only for the next scene to show the kid (now orphan) covered in blood and viscera). 

Or, he would keep pushing a joke to make someone uncomfortable. And I get sometimes it’s for the sake of pushing the boundaries of bigotry which is funny and should totally be done (Deadpool morals - it’s acceptable and expected to make rude/hateful people get a taste of their own medicine) but I don’t feel he could back off when it comes to other people. In fact, I think he’d become even more persistent. Like imagine he’s hanging with the X-men and one of them asks him to stop it with the crude jokes because it makes them uncomfortable (for any number of reasons - ace (sex repulsed or other), trauma, or it just makes them uncomfortable -they shouldn’t be required to provide a reason) and instead of backing off, he ramps it up. “Are you sure you don’t want to do a weapons check before I visit the mansion because my pistol is always loaded.”

Maybe I’m wrong, it’s hard to introduce and grow a character with a full range of nuance in 2 movies, and the only Deadpool comic I’ve read is the Spiderman crossover, but still, my perception of Deadpool is that he’s more than just crude and violent, he can step away from what’s expected of him to be compassionate, to be genuinely kind.

[khryptid]

I feel like stories would be 1000000% improved if they went for a found family/sibling trope rather than pushing a romance.

[khryptid]

So I saw a post earlier (haha I found it! https://www.tumblr.com/pinyeti/744877479206993921/just-thinking-about-how-the-reason-one-piece-is-so) about the reason that One Piece works so well is that every character is a main character—from Buggy to Whitebeard, Robin, or even Katakuri—we could follow any of them and still have an epic story.

Which got me thinking about how Luffy’s story would stand out even if we followed someone else’s story…

Whitebeard’s a bit old to be going after the One Piece at his age, but his kids believe in him so Seas be damned, he guesses he’s going after it. Technically, if he makes it more of a never-ending scavenger hunt, he doubts any of his kids’ll notice besides maybe Marco, who’ll only side-eye him at times.

More so, he wants to see his kids take the world by storm, to stand on their own but always know that they have a family to come back to at the end of the day. Family is more than blood, and he’ll make damned sure each of his kids know he’ll always be their Pops, but that’s not to say they can’t have family elsewhere. The majority that do, have mostly parted ways, but for the minority who actually keep in contact…well let’s just say it makes for some interesting stories around dinner time. Especially from young Ace, what with his firecracker of a younger brother. For a rookie, he certainly started off with a high bounty. It wouldn’t make waves in Paradise, but it’s certainly nothing to scoff at when it comes to the Blues, especially the East. After that, it’s like the boy and his crew can’t sneeze without falling into trouble. Between Ace’s stories and the fact that Edward wasn’t born yesterday, he could understand what the Marines were trying to cover up in Alabasta. Those kids took out a Warlord. And after that, it just doesn’t stop. Destroying Enies Lobby. Declaring war on the World Government. Taking out another Warlord. At the rate those Strawhats were going, he was sure Ace would be getting another meetup with his brother soon, most likely in the New World. And if Whitebeard was lucky, maybe he’d get another son.

~Now here you can imagine either Marineford just not happening or my fav, it happens (because Luffy storming Impel Down is that perfect blend of chaos and caring) but Ace and Whitebeard live~

2 years and some time after Wano…

“Hey Ace, what’s your brother up to, you haven’t talked about him in a while?”

“Which one?”

“Which one? You have more than one?”

“Yeah, there’s Sabo, who’s second in command of the Revolutionary Army, and Luffy, who’s a god.”

“WHAT!! What do you mean Luffy’s a god?! That little pipsqueak you’d talk about who was always getting into trouble? He’s a god?!”

“zzZZZ”

“Ace! ACE! You better wake up right now! I need answers!”

BRB, just thinking about newly escaped baby Sanji stowing away on Zeff’s ship, helmet and all.

Option 1:

Zeff finds Sanji tucked away fast asleep in one of the overflow pantries (c’mon they’re called the Cook Pirates for a reason) and of course immediately kicks the kid. Sanji startles awake, flinging themself backwards in the same way they’d try to escape their brothers, only to let go of the one meaningful thing they’d managed to take from Germa. Sliding across the floor only to stop at Zeff’s feet is a book titled All Blue.

“Where’d you get that?”

“It’s mine! Give it back!”

“What? A fairy tail book for a little kid?”

“You’re wrong. It’s real. The All Blue’s real, and I’m going to find it one day.”

“ha ha Ha HA HA HA,” Zeff’s slow chuckle grows into a full bellied laugh, “how about a meal, Little Eggplant?”

Option 2:

Zeff knows someone on his crew’s got to be messing with him. First, it started with his spice rack getting rearranged. Dammit, he knows it’s unconventional, but he had them in order of the flavor profiles he used the most. Then, the ginger cookies he had stashed away for his next watch shift were just gone, not even the wrapping left behind. But worst of all, worst of all, someone had messed with the things in his quarters. Not much, barely enough to be noticeable, but his maps, the precious books he’s collected about the All Blue, he can tell have been rifled through.

Meanwhile, Sanji has been putting their Germa training into practice. (I mean there had to be a reason they were supposed to be Stealth Black) Somehow sneaking around the pirate ship is easier and harder than it was sneaking around the castle. While there’s certainly less space on the ship, they find it almost simple to avoid the ship’s inhabitants in ways they never could seem to avoid their brothers. As for the ship itself, it’s practically paradise. The kitchen is fully stocked—though whoever organized it seriously needed their head checked, who thinks basil goes next to chili powder—the food was pretty damn good, and best of all, the captain has a stash of books on the All Blue hidden away in his room. Now if only they could get this helmet off, they’d be set.

Zeff still ends up finding Sanji eventually, but rather than kicking the kid awake, because it’s definitely a kid who’s been messing with him and not one of his crew, he takes a good long look. Eyes catching on the metal contraption wrapped around the kid’s head, but settling on the book tightly clasped in too small hands titled All Blue. It’s not one of his, but it certainly explains the intrusion upon his private collection. Making up his mind and without waking the kid, he returns to his kitchen to plate up something simple yet hot and filling. When he gets back to the little nook, the kid’s still asleep, still tightly grasping that book, and setting the food on a crate at eye level, softly kicks them awake.

“Oi, you got a name stowaway?”

“Sanji”

“Nah, you look more like a Little Eggplant to me.”
