i  think  about  wano  so  much  it  might  be  a  little  bit  insane  honestly.  while  the  arc  absolutely  had  some  pacing  issues  in  my  opinion,  it  also  gave  us  a  chance  to  really  dive  into  the  feelings  of  some  of  the  straw  hats  and  their  relation  towards  one  another.  there's  this  moment,  i  believe  during  onigashima  and  the  fight,  that  each  crew  is  asked  what  their  goal  is.  both  zoro  and  sanji  say  they  have  no  desire  to  become  ‘king  of  the  pirates’  but  will  back  up  luffy  entirely,  helping  him  to  become  king  as  they  go  towards  their  own  goal. 

it,  especially,  solidifies  zoro  and  sanji  as  the  captains  wings,  helping  to  lift  him  up  to  his  goals.  robin  says  something  similar,  as  with  the  others  ⸻  and  i  love  this  moment  because  it  really  proves  their  conviction  behind  helping  luffy.  i  think  that,  and  please  correct  me  if  i'm  wrong,  it  is  one  of  the  first  moments  in  the  series  where  they  all  really  voice  this  at  once  which  is  so  so  so  cool. 

anyways  wano  is  and  always  will  be  that  arc  and  the  straw  hat  crew  is  a  true  ride  or  die.

          SO  MANY  PARTS  OF  LUFFY  WERE  CURRENTLY  AT  ODDS        within  himself,  conflicting  emotions  going  head  to  head  as  his  mind  pulled  him  in  a  multitude  of  directions.  a  part  of  him  wanted  to  fall  to  his  knees,  beg  for  a  chance  to  act  as  a  son  to  someone   ⸻   because  his  own  father  didn’t  seem  to  want  anything  to  do  with  him.  another  wanted  to  lash  out  physically,  upturn  this  entire  island  in  a  fit  of  rage  and  betrayal,  warp  it  with  gear  five  until  there  was  nothing  left.  he  couldn’t  do  that,  though.  he  wouldn’t  put  others,  especially  his  own  crewmates,  in  danger. 

          shock  flies  across  his  face  as  crocodile  shoots  to  his  feet,  body  immediately  bristling  as  armament  climbed  up  his  arms   ⸻   a  defensive  reflex.  his  fingers  curled  into  fists  poised  to  fight,  but  all  of  that  was  gone  in  an  instant.  crocodile  didn’t  know.  they  didn’t  know  in  alabasta  when  they  went  head  to  head  over  the  kingdom   ⸻   they  didn’t  know  as  that  hook  was  plunged  into  luffy’s  body  over  and  over  again.  they  didn’t  know  as  luffy  soaked  his  hands  in  water  and  blood  until  the  other  was  finally  defeated. 

          they  didn’t  fucking  know. 

          all  the  fight  that  had  been  built  up  in  luffy  drained  in  a  second,  body  seeming  to  sag  in  time  with  the  others.  armament  disappears  from  his  body  just  as  quickly  as  it  had  shown  up  as  well.  having  learned  something  so  binding  in  prison   …   he  cannot  even  imagine  having  to  go  through  that.  it  must  have  been  the  reason  crocodile  had  decided  to  help  him  at  all,  it  was  the  only  thing  that  really  made  sense.  it  was  the  only  thing  he  was  truly  willing  to  believe.    “  excuse  me  for  being  emotional  about  my  fucking life  being  turned  upside  down  by  a  damn  letter.  ”     he  all  but  snarls. 

          getting  that  piece  of  paper  was  easily  one  of  the  most  insane  things  he’s  ever  been  given,  and  he’ll  never  forget  reading  it  with  the  crew.  he  had  laughed  and  giggled  and  smiled  as  it  started,  only  to  get  eerily  quiet  and  withdrawn  afterwards.  dragon  had  told  him  everything  in  a  blasted  letter  and  that  had  felt  like  the  biggest  slap  in  the  face.  but  then  again,  that  man  had  never  acted  much  like  a  father  towards  him  literally  once.  luffy  had  been  on  his  own,  and  then  it  had  been  him,  ace,  sabo,  dadan  and  garp.  that  was  his  family  before  the  straw  hats.

          and  now   …   now  they’re  here.  it’s  the  comment  about  dragon  that  finally  has  the  emperor  snapping.  gear  second  pushes  through  his  body  in  an  instant,  skin  glistening  and  red  as  steam  rises  from  his  pores.  a  cry  that  could  only  be  described  as  rage  and  anguish  filled  came  out,  armament  shooting  back  up  his  arm.  everything  both  speeds  up  and  slows  down  in  that  exact  moment.  his  fist  comes  back,  rubber  snapping  like  a  band  stretched  way  too  tight,  before  it  shoots  forward. 

          luffy  had  been  aiming  for  crocodile’s  face.  his  neck.  he  wanted  to  see  the  man  bleed   ⸻   but  when  his  arm  shot  forward,  it  was  in  the  wooden  chair  instead.  he  had  missed  the  other’s  head  by  no  more  than  an  inch  or  two.  wood  splintered  wildly  as  his  arm  went  in  clean,  connecting  with  the  thick  stone  behind  in  an  ear  shattering  crack.  the  building  they  were  in  shook  dangerously,  dust  and  small  rocks  pebbling  out  from  the  wall  and  ceiling  in  a  way  that  screamed  trouble.    “  fuck  that  man!  he’s  never  been  a  father  to  me   …   he  told  me  about  you  in  a  fucking  letter.  didn’t  even  have  the  decency  to  say  it  to  my  face.  he  never  wanted  me!  never  gave  a  fuck  about  me!  ”

          at  some  point  luffy  had  started  crying,  voice  cracking  loudly  as  he  screamed.  tears  surged  over  his  cheeks  leaving  depressing  tracks,  droplets  falling  onto  his  white  shirt  and  staining.    “  don’t  give  me  that  bullshit  of  what  kind  of  man  you  are  because  i’m  not  all  that  great  either.  i’ve  taken  lives,  stolen  and  pilfered  like  the  pirate  that  i  am.  ”     he  continued  to  snarl,  body  leaning  over  crocodile  dangerously,  faces  close  because  of  the  angle  of  his  punch.    “  i   ⸻   ”     his  voice  cracks  once  more,  swallowing  back  the  choke  of  a  sob  as  he  stares  with  ire  and  hurt.  he  didn’t  know  what  to  say  anymore,  there  were  so  many  things  in  his  head.    “  why  don’t  you  want  me?!  ” 

ㅤㅤㅤHE SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED THE boy wants to keep arguing. crocodile had anticipated this. he'd hoped otherwise — a foolish notion, really, when dealing with someone as pigheaded as monkey d. luffy. truthfully, crocodile had been busy. the cross guild was spiraling into a burgeoning world power, expanding so quickly he sometimes struggled to keep his grip on it. but that didn't stop him from obsessively tracking the straw hats' exploits. every headline, every bounty increase, every ridiculous feat. and every time, the bitter taste in his mouth grew more potent. luffy wasn't the scrawny seventeen-year-old from alabasta anymore. and he sure as hell wasn't the tiny, smiling baby that had once wrapped his chubby hand around wani's finger like she was his whole damn world. he was an emperor of the sea now. and crocodile — foolish, furious, lost — had made too many mistakes to stop this confrontation from happening.

ㅤㅤㅤfor just a moment, his composure cracks. the weight of it all presses in. his shoulders dip, eyes shuttering briefly as if he could close them and erase luffy from view — erase the memory. he wants a cigar. he wants to turn to sand and vanish. he wants out. but then — he bristles.

ㅤㅤㅤcrocodile's eyes snap open. he surges to his feet like a coiled beast unspooled — sudden, sharp, dangerous. his frame looms, his hook gleaming at his side, menace carved into every tense line of his body. ❝ i didn't know in alabasta. ❞ the words hit the air like thunder — boomed, hissed, spat. ❝ i didn't know you were my son. ❞ it's venomous, raw, and honest in the most painful way. his voice cracks around the rage, his control unspooling like frayed thread. and for a second — just a second — he's wani again. burning with righteous fury, helpless in the face of everything gone wrong.

ㅤㅤㅤthen it passes. just as quickly, the fury collapses into silence. he doesn't finish the sentence. can't. some truths are too jagged to ever leave the mouth, too drenched in grief and guilt. they'll die with crocodile. buried with the rest of her, deep in the sands that coat every crack in him. when he speaks again, the words are slower. quieter. controlled, but weighed down with something heavy and aged. ❝ i found out when i was imprisoned. made the connection down in level 6. ❞ of all the nightmares impel down had offered him, none compared to that — to realizing he had once run his own blood through with a hook and felt nothing. no hesitation. no recognition. just another obstacle to power.

ㅤㅤㅤsomething flickers behind his gaze then, something not quite grief and not quite longing. a ghost of a memory: dragon's irritating smirk. that old idealism crocodile had tried so hard to beat out of himself. he sinks slowly back into the chair — elegant, composed once more — but never looks away from luffy. his voice turns steel again. ❝ mind yourself, mugiwara. i won't tolerate you tossing haki around my office like a tantruming child. ❞ besides, he thinks grimly, hawk-eyes is on this island. and the last thing he needs is that man walking in on... this. it's a deflection. a parry. emotional sleight of hand. he needs time. time to process what luffy said, and what it means — for both of them.

ㅤㅤㅤmaybe the boy deserves answers. maybe he deserves more. maybe dragon is the man better suited to offer it. crocodile closes his eyes again, slow and deliberate. like bracing for a blow. and then — ❝ am i the kind of soul you'd want for a parent, luffy? ❞ the question cuts clean. ❝ are you proud to know we share blood? you've seen my crimes firsthand. you know what i'm capable of — what i've done to get what i want. and still you ask why? ❞ his voice dips lower, serrated now, like a blade drawn not in threat — but in grief. ❝ do you really want the full story? do you want to know why it all happened like this? ❞ the cigar appears in his hand, lit with a flick of his lighter. a pull. inhale. exhale. smoke coils upward like a final curtain.

ㅤㅤㅤ ❝ ask your damn father. ❞

i  will  never  ever  ever  shut  up  about  the  whole  crocmom  theory  because  it's  my  favorite  and  getting  to  write  this  just  has  me  buzzing  like  a  little  bee   ⸻   give  me  the  angst  and  the  pain  that  it  comes  with  like  pleaaaaaase. 

[mgiwaraz]

          FINDING  OUT  THE  TRUTH  AFTER  THE  ALREADY        traumatizing  experiences  on  egghead  had  sent  luffy  reeling.  his  entire  world  had  flipped  upside  down  with  a  single  letter.  for  the  first  time  in  maybe  his  entire  life,  he  was  at  a  complete  loss  for  words.  he  found  comfort  in  isolation  as  the  information  rocked  him  to  his  very  core,  leaving  him  contemplative  in  a  spot  typically  occupied  by  his  first  mate.  the  crows  nest  had  been  occupied  by  him  for  days  at  this  point  before  someone,  nami  fortunately,  became  brave  enough  to  venture  upwards  and  talk  to  him. 

          in  the  end  he  continued  to  not  say  much  as  nami  questioned  his  mental  state,  only  giving  a  location  and  asking  if  they  could  make  a  detour.  it  was  in  a  different  direction  than  what  their  log  pose  was  pointing  in   …   but  this  was  important.  he  couldn’t  just  ignore  it.  couldn’t  just  walk  away  after  learning  something  so  important.  so  life  changing.  as  their  course  changed,  travel  on  the  high  seas  became  quiet  and  tense.  luffy  took  his  meals  with  the  rest  of  the  crew  after  a  day  or  so  but  it  was  obvious  he  was  lost  in  his  own  head,  laughter  and  smiles  never  quite  meeting  his  eyes  like  they  always  did. 

          when  they  had  arrived  at  a  remote  island  that  luffy  genuinely  couldn’t  have  been  assed  to  learn  the  name  of,  he,  for  the  first  time,  commanded  everyone  to  stay  on  the  ship.  this  was  something  he  needed  to  do  on  his  own   ⸻   and  like  good  crewmates,  they  listened.  it  was  how  he  found  himself  standing  directly  in  front  of  crocodile  once  again,  but  this  time  on  even  ground.  luffy  had  defeated  the  man  once  before,  and  was  not  against  the  idea  of  sinking  his  fists  into  their  jaw  once  more  over  everything. 

          it  took  a  while  for  him  to  find  a  name  for  the  emotion  that  he  felt,  a  label  for  the  fire  that  was  licking  along  the  inside  of  his  veins. 

          in  the  end,  he  had  settled  on  anger.  rage. betrayal.  he  had  been  so  desperate  for  a  parent  and  had  inadvertently  ran  into  one  years  ago  in  alabasta  of  all  places.  in  true  luffy  fashion  he  scoffed  at  being  told  what  to  do,  eyes  rolling  as  he  crossed  his  arms  in  front  of  his  chest.  the  white  fabric  tugged  at  his  shoulders  a  little  bit,  showcasing  all  of  the  muscle  he  had  put  on  over  the  years,  the  strength  he’d  built  up  with  his  crew. his  family.  without  help  from  the  bastard  he  stood  before. 

          “  you  knew.  ”     his  voice  was  even  and  calm,  a  rarity  for  him.    “  you  knew  in  alabasta.  you  knew  when  i  came  to  you  in  impel  down begging  for  the  help  i  needed  to  try  and  save  ace.  ”     each  word  was  like  ice,  syllables  spit  out  with  disappointment  and  hurt.    “  you  said  it  was  for  your  own  selfish  desires   ⸻   but  i  remember  that  look  in  your  eyes.  i  remember  how  i  could  constantly  feel  you staring  at  me.  ” 

          luffy  took  a  deliberate  step  forward  as  his  arms  fell  to  his  side,  sandals  quiet  on  the  floor  underneath.  he  couldn't  imagine  what  crocodile  saw  at  the  moment.  did  they  still  the  nervous  and  driven  kid  from  alabasta,  still  coming  into  their  devil  fruit  power   …   or  did  they  see  the  yonko  that  he  had  become?  a  man  with  a  fully  awakened  devil  fruit,  blood  on  his  hands  and  countries  ready  to  rally  behind  him  at  the  drop  of  a  hat,  no  questions  asked.  but  behind  that  anger  in  his  eyes  there  was  sorrow,  and  he  could  see  it  in  crocodile  as  well.    “  i  thought  you  were  going  to  try  and  actually  kill  me,  but  you  continued  to  help.  ”

          another  pause  as  he  stops  just  mere  inches  away,  fingers  clenching  into  fists,  his  haki  sparking  around  the  edges  of  his  vision.    “  you  clearly  still  give  a  fuck  so  why!  why  did  you  lie  to  me  for  all  of  those  years?!  you’re  supposed  to  be  my   ⸻   ”     he  can’t  bring  himself  to  say  it,  gaze  falling.  he  couldn’t  because,  no  matter  the  blood  they  shared,  crocodile wasn’t  his  mother.  he  had  given  up  that  right  a  long  time  ago.

“ sometimes you just need someone to tell you you're not as terrible as you think you are. ” / @mgiwaraz

ㅤㅤㅤPERSONALLY, CROCODILE FINDS THE WHOLE CHARADE to be a shit show — a house of cards he'd stacked with deliberate precision since that fateful day, now crumbling like sand between his own hands. it had to be some kind of cosmic joke. mugiwara no luffy — the boy he'd once run through with a hook, the brat who dismantled everything he'd built in alabasta — was the son torn from his arms long ago, in the wake of too many storms and demons he'd refused to face. wani — and, later, sir crocodile — had endured tragedy after tragedy across the grand line and into the new world. but nothing gouged through the remaining sliver of softness in him quite like the truth: he had left his own son bleeding in the sand, unaware. unforgivable. it was karma, served cold and ironic, and privately — deep, deep down — crocodile might even admit he deserved every blow that followed.

ㅤㅤㅤthat doesn't mean he doesn't still look at luffy with that same cold-blooded stare. doesn't mean he doesn't scowl at the way the boy is too familiar — too kind. he doesn't know where the hell that came from. had to be dragon. couldn't have been him. he takes a long pull from his cigar — slow, heady, grounding — and exhales thick smoke into the space between them. ugh. the idealism was definitely dragon. the bright eyes, the damn-near bushy-tailed defiance. crocodile can't decide if it makes him sick or just tired — this dogged insistence on believing in the good in people. maybe it wasn't idealism. maybe it was just stubbornness. maybe luffy was desperate to see something redeemable in the only parent that had ever been even remotely within reach.

ㅤㅤㅤwhatever it was, crocodile doesn't like it.

ㅤㅤㅤhe doesn't like anyone looking too closely at all the armor he's carefully layered over the years. doesn't like the way luffy seems to see through it, and bares his teeth in response — a warning, a habit, an instinct. there's nothing paternal about him. maternal even less so — wani was dead long before the seas swallowed her. his eyes are too sharp. his hand, a gleaming hook. his heart? long rotted out and buried beneath alabasta's scorched sands. and still — he hates the way the boy looks at him. hates that it's full of belief.

ㅤㅤㅤhis hook digs into the armrest of the chair, splintering the wood beneath his grip.

ㅤㅤㅤ ❝ mugiwara. ❞

ㅤㅤㅤno luffy. no gentle tones. just a name, dry like the desert wind. once, long ago, a woman with dark hair and those same sharp eyes had whispered a different name into the cheek of a laughing baby — a name never spoken aloud to anyone but herself and that sweet, round-faced child. but that name was lost, just like she was. to the sea. to the storms. ❝ it's foolish to try and look for the good in me. ❞ he removes the cigar from his lips and stubs it out in the tray, the ash crumbling with finality. ❝ i'm not an idealist. not like you. not like your father. so don't look too deep, kid. ❞ there's a glint in his eyes now, catching the dim light — something savage, yes, but not threatening. something guarded. a beast coiled around a secret too tender to name. around wani's memory. around his own grief.

ㅤㅤㅤ ❝ you might not like what you find. ❞

[mgiwaraz]

          THE  SPEED  AT  WHICH  THINGS  HAPPENED  AFTER  LUFFY        just   barely   touched  the  oven  dial  was  actually  kind  of  ridiculous.  the  pirate  captain  let  out  a  squawk  was  bordering  on  inhuman.  the  whack  to  the  back  of  his  head  had  his  body  folding  in  half  with  a  hand  going  to  protect  the  back  of  his  head,   moving  even  further   at  the  harsh  kick  to  his  wrist.  if  it  wasn’t  for  his  devil  fruit  that  bone  absolutely  would  have  been  broken  from  the  weight  of  the  kick.  with  a  loud  wail,  coupled  with  the  pressure  against  his  body,  he   somehow  finds  himself  falling  down  onto  the  floor   on  the  opposite  side  of  the  counter  than  the  one  he  had  climbed  up  on. 

          luffy  hits  the  deck  with  a  rather   ridiculous  sounding  thud,   grumbling  in  annoyance  as  pain  blossomed.  he  had  landed  on  his  face  of  course,  adding  to  his  humiliation  of  not  being  able  to  do  what  he  wanted.    “  saaaaanji   ⸻   that  hurt  you  dick!  ”     he  cried  loudly,   shaking  himself  out  for  a  brief  second   before  pushing  himself  slowly  into  a  sitting  position.   he  can  already  feel  a  couple  of  bruises  forming,   moving  to  inspect  the  one  he  could  see  beginning  on  his  wrist.  there  was  a  bright  red  mark  already  shaped  like  the  heel  of  whatever  fancy  dress  shoe  sanji  was  wearing,  and  he  rubbed  at  it  with  the  palm  of  his  hand  like  a  petulant  child. 

          luffy  kind  of  felt  like  one  as  well  quite  frankly.  the  yonko  was   easily  scolded   by  his  own  chef  in  the  end.   he  really  did  it  to  himself   by  simply  choosing  not  to  listen  whenever  his  crew  mates  told  him  to  do   (  or  not  do  )   something.   very  much  acting  like  a  punished  dog  being  told  no   for  the  first  time  he  pulls  both  legs  up  against  his  chest  and  decides  to  just  pout  on  the  floor,  a  hand  wrapping  around  his  injured  wrist.  he  was,   very  pointedly,   refusing  to  look  at  sanji  who  was  currently  blocking  the  way  to  the  stove.

          besides,  luffy  had  learned   the  hard  way   not  to  mess  with  him.  on  the  rare  occasion  that  he  had  gotten  past  the  chef  he’d  gotten  a  pretty  hefty  beating,  by  both  the  cook   and   nami.  he  didn’t  feel  like  dealing  with  that.    “  fine.  whatever,  you’re  such  a  mean  chef.  at  least  give  me  something  to  snack  on  if  you’re  going  to  kick  me  !  ”      luffy  spoke  through  pursed  lips,   still  refusing  to  look  the  man  in  the  eye.   it  was   rather  bold   of  him  to  demand  food  after  everything  that  he  did,  but  the  pirate  was  hungry.  granted  he  was   pretty  much  always  hungry   with  a  rubber  stomach,  but  still!

ㅤㅤSanji’s learnt from countless experiences that one does not ignore Monkey D. Luffy while he’s situated anywhere near food, and by extension, that most definitely includes the prime location that is the galley. The cook worked hard to ensure the crew had sufficient provisions during their travels, the large aquarium a good resource to fall back on when other supplies of protein dwindled, making suitable allowances for respective appetites accordingly. And that also included the captain’s abundant voracity. Whether through Observation Haki or any other imbued preternatural or engineered sense, there would always be a pointed mindfulness within these specific four walls, a personal haven where even the momentary distraction while flicking through a magazine wouldn’t give an inch to an underlying awareness of the other’s movements. There are times where the wing doesn’t have to overly lash out, harsh words superseded by even harsher clenched fists doing just the trick from his dear sweet Nami  (  elle est vraiment parfaite  ♡  ).

ㅤㅤㅤㅤThere’s a hum with Luffy’s apparent acquiescence, the tip of an index finger poised besides images of oven mitts, reading between the lines of overly elaborate marketing jargon to get to the crux of their descriptions  (  bof, ces gants ne dureraient pas une semaine dans cette cuisine  ).  And yet that very unique energy was still present within the blond’s periphery, its frenetic incessance reminiscent of a gluttonous humming bird, grip faintly tightening against the edges of the pages as the other hefts himself up onto the counter. With the sonorous clack-clack of the sandals flopping onto the floor, there’s a scant inward jut of the chin representing a nod of approval to himself, the man keeping the surface as clean as possible in between culinary segues, his reaction to a prior occasion initially deemed over the top - well, the rest of the crewmates saw just how gross those shoes were from going  everywhere with them, agreeing the cook had no choice.

ㅤㅤ“ That’s not how it works, and you know it— ”  Internal alarm bells ring with the scooting and the latter comment that’s of a seemingly optimistic albeit overly opportunistic air, the quick flash of a glare in Luffy’s direction witnessing the reaching palm brazenly stretching to the inviting knob, time slowing down ahead of a two-pronged attack. The magazine is quickly rolled up to whap at the back of the dark mop of hair, an outstretched leg subsequently raising for the back of the heel to abruptly slam down against the top of the rubbery wrist.  “ You wanna burn it?! It’s called a slow roast for a reason. ”  The pirate physically moves to place himself between Luffy and the succulent chicken invitingly glistening behind the clear pane, arms folding to stare him down.  “ Try that again and I’m hauling you arse out. ”  (  il le pense vraiment  ).

[mgiwaraz]

bennetts  stupid  circle  is  the  same  as  the  natlan  star  and  i  have  no  one  to  talk  too  about  this  and  i'm  actively  going  insane  waiting  for  the  next  genshin  update  even  though  we  just  got  one.  i'm  fine  it's  fine  totally  fine  REALLY  I'M  OKAY  I  SWEAR   …   (  they  were  indeed  not  okay  )

being doomed by the narrative is cool and all but i like when a character is doomed just by being a fucking idiot. sorry that happened to you but it is entirely your own fault and you could have just chosen to not do all that

grumpy/sunshine trope prompts!

naturally these are shippy and soft and i'm honestly so honored that someone asked and trusted me to do these, so i hope y'all enjoy them just as much as i enjoyed writing them!

from the grump

" i know i can be an asshole, but... you always see the good in me. "

" only YOU could convince me to do something like this! "

" don't make this weird, but... i saw this in the store. figured you'd like it. "

" nobody's ever made me feel the way you do. "

" you're so full of light... and i'm terrified that i'll be the one who quenches it. "

" why do you stick around with a misery-guts like me? "

" you're the lighthouse in the fog, guiding me to shore... "

" i'm trying so hard, but... i can't stop myself from falling in love with you. "

" i love you... oh, damn it, don't look at me, i'm all red... "

" i don't really smile much. not unless you're around, it seems. "

" no. no way, no way in hell am i doing that. no! no... aw, fine... "

" how are you so happy all the time? "

" oh jeez... nobody's ever made me laugh like that in a long, long time. "

" i don't think i wanna know a world without your smiles. "

" i never feel like this grumpy asshole when you're around. i feel like... me. the real me... "

" hey, now... i'm not going anywhere. i'm gonna stay right here. right with you. "

" whoa... hey, now, who made you cry? where'd they go? "

" don't make a big deal out of this. you like hugs, right? so... here's a hug. "

" um... if you don't mind, i think i'd like a hug now. if that's okay... "

" the world just... feels right. when you're with me. "

from the sunshine

" i love it when you smile! i wish you'd do it all the time... "

" you have a really good smile, you know that? "

" see? i knew there was a soft heart under all that grumbling! "

" admit it. you had FUN today! "

" i want to know you. the REAL you. so let's go somewhere that makes you feel happy. "

" you can't get rid of me that easily. i'm gonna be here every day to remind you how wonderful you are! "

" you know me. you... you see me. i'm never totally myself unless i'm with you. "

" everyone else always sees this ridiculously happy, over excited, naive little baby who needs protecting. but... never you. you've always seen the real me. i guess that's what i love the most about you. "

" why is it so damn difficult for you to believe you're worthy of love? "

" you make me smile. and laugh. i feel happy when i'm with you! is that so hard to believe? "

" don't be so stubborn! take my coat/scarf! "

" come on! dance with me! "

" who'd have thought you'd be such a softie! "

" your smiles are like shooting stars. really rare, and really beautiful. "

" don't go. please? just... we can share the bed. i just don't want to be alone right now, if you don't mind... "

" we all have our flaws. you stayed with me in spite of mine. now i'm doing the same... "

" we're two sides of the same coin. right? "

" well, they do say opposites attract... "

" of course i remembered! i remember everything about you! "

redraw of this from like two years ago :) 

[mgiwaraz]

every  once  in  a  while  i  think  about  luffy  looking  so  angry  and  disappointed  when  he  found  a  log  pose  heading  directly  to   laugh  tale   of  all  places   …   bro  destroyed  it  without  so  much  as  blinking  or  thinking  about  it  because  the  journey  means  so  much  to  him.  not  only  that,  but  he   knew   he  didn't  deserve  it  yet.  he  hadn't  defeated  kaido.  hadn't  become  an  emperor  yet.  no  gear  five.  he  just  wasn't  ready   ⸻   so  he  crushed  it  in  his  hand  in  rage.  i  love  that  moment  from  luffy  so  much.  it  showed  his  drive  to  get  to  the  end,  to  find  the  one  piece  on  his  own  merits  and  not  because  a  compass  was  leading  the  way  for  him. 

monkey  d.  luffy  will  become   king  of  the  pirates.

We don't talk about this enough.
