Part one of my 18-page Kuina comic that I've been sitting on for several months! I hope you look forward to updates!

1/9

Since it is the queer month, it's important to recognize that One Piece is inherently a queer show. Even if you don't ship the queer ships or don't like the explicitly queer characters (Iva, bon clay, Yamato, etc.), One Piece is queer. The theme of the show is freedom, freedom to express who you are, live the life you want to live, be the person you want to be. Those themes resonate with many queer ideas and beliefs, even if they don't for you. I'm tired of seeing people actively try to remove or ignore these aspects because it makes them uncomfortable. Arguing with people online about the validity of certain characters identities isn't going to change the underlying themes of the anima/manga, and the sooner to accept that, the sooner you will enjoy the brilliant and beautiful story of One Piece.

Happy Pride Month <3

Zoro immediately taking the role of being Luffy's crew member seriously and always doing what Luffy asks of him, and making sure he completes the task without fail is so dear to me.

Kind of obsessed with my slip design

there’s two types of locked tomb fans: people who realize the series isn’t for everyone, and so hesitate to recommend it, and people who are aware on some level that the series isn’t for everyone and yet recommend it anyways.

always pondering the brothers these days... aaalways

I know roronoa “tummy ache” zoro is wildly accepted (cause he canonically a jealous bitch) but luffy is lowkey possessive…. ever since he heard the name ‘demon of the east blue’ that man was HIS

If you’re an artist and think it’s a good idea to advertise your commissions in ao3 comments, fucking don’t. I’ve never seen anything more soulless and more antithetical to fandom culture.

Highlighting subtext, character analysis, and lore tidbits in my fic But I Believe That You’re My Savior:

- when Luffy first talks to Zoro he says, “if I didn’t know any better, I’d say you aren’t that strong at all.” Luffy only knows better because Zoro is his soulmate, and Luffy knows his soulmate would be as strong as him

- Kaya tries to memorize the colors in the world out of a fear Usopp would die and the colors would fade to nothing. After she lost her parents and her health, she didn’t think she could bare losing the colors.

- Zoro has a deep distrust of the universe after Kuina’s death not understanding the universe has almost no control after the creation process (I’ll make a lore post) and he does not understand how other people with soulmates trust the universe wholeheartedly like Usopp and Sanji

- Kuma knows exactly what losing a soulmate feels like, as such everything he tells Zoro about the process is through personal experience and talks with Vegapunk

- Luffy likes his colors so much because Zoro is the one who gave them to him. They’re his connection to Zoro, he just had a slow fade he wouldn’t care about his colors at all

- Luffy was incredibly concerned after “nothing happened” because his colors were super out of wack when he woke up and he kept staring at Zoro so unsubtly, Zoro is just a moron and convinced himself he wasn’t

- At the end, when Luffy smiles fondly, he’s remembering the first time he and Zoro met. It’s a very fond memory for him despite the circumstances of getting turned down by a moron.

Throwback to the first time I read Nona the Ninth and tried to keep a tally of whose soul was inside Nona's body

Comic based on my fic I’m Your Man on ao3

Art by the amazing @bubunji thank you so much 🫶🫶🫶

okay one bone that I have to pick with the tlt fandom is the headcanoning of Harrow as being a constant energy drink/black coffee drinker because in Harrow the Ninth she canonically says she doesn't like strong flavors and that as a child even warm water with lemon in it was too strong for her. I think a monster energy would kill Harrow the way people on here like to joke about a dorito killing a medieval peasant

Merry Valentines to y'all!
