Do you think about Zoro-Luffy matching rings Oda drew for the 1pc Gucci Collab or are you Normal??

Realizing I have to post about my ocs if I want people to know and ask more about my ocs anyways I'm trying to think of what Riff and Jive's (my other oc) dynamic would be like. I think it's definitely really awkward at first since Jive is so shy. *scurries away*

I love thinking about them

Do you still take comic requests? If so, i think it would be cute if Twig describes some food from one of her few fond human memories and then he goes and tries to re-create it for her.

@setech0715’s comment on the fanfic from ages ago has finally come to fruition:

Okay, I have thoughts about Leander and need to express them.

Now, I could very well end up being wrong and might be missing some things that make everyone else really suspicious of him, but I really don't think he's a bad person completely masquerading as a hero and trying to manipulate people. I do think his whole heroic persona might be somewhat performative, but I think he genuinely wants to help people and be seen as a good person. He at the very least strikes me as a people-pleaser.

I think the problem might lie in him over-extending himself and neglecting his own wants and needs (like sleep, if the dark circles under his eyes are anything to go by). Like keeping up a protection spell just so a certain cursed newcomer can hold his hand/feel him up whenever they want (magic has to take some kind of toll on the user). Or promising to cure said newcomer by claiming to be able to do the work of an entire organization on his own (we don't know what the Senobium's deal is, yes, but they have to have a decent amount of power to have the reputation they do).

There's also the little things, like Leander not complaining about Vere ordering expensive champagne even though the price does seem to concern him. The way he physically jumped in to diffuse the tension. How, if you take him up on the drink, he picks what sounds like the most palatable drink that also introduces you to more of Eridias' local culture. He won't even give us his opinion of the others without asking for ours first, as if he doesn't want to risk disagreeing with us.

He also just doesn't seem to make any decisions for himself in general. The people at the bar ask him to to perform, so he does. Kuras said Leander could help us, so he says he will. The Bloodhounds' reaction to us mentioning the Senobium makes us uncomfortable, so he talks them down; but also we made them uncomfortable, so he moves our conversation outside. We never see him order a specific drink for himself independently: when we first meet him, he just asks the bartender to surprise him, and during his section towards the end, he just orders whatever you order (when they all gather at the bar, we don't get an idea of what drink he ordered or how, but I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happened). Even when he grabs our wrist the first time we touch, I think he does it more to reassure us than out of any desire to touch us more (and I mean that even if you hesitate, because at that point you're like 90% of the way there and he wants you to know he can help. His whole freakout, as I've seen others point out, is probably just due to a stronger than expected reaction from our curse).

As for how that might tie in to what makes him monstrous, I think that might come down to what lengths he's willing to go to in trying to help people. Maybe he's willing to kill for other people, maybe he dabbles in some dark magic like necromancy or has some sort of magic patron he's made a deal with a la dnd warlock pacts, or maybe it's something more self-sacrificial and he's willing to risk his life or sell his soul.

Regarding his relationship with the MC, I do think he could get obsessive over them, but I don't think it would be in the stereotypical yandere fashion. Considering how submissive he acts (and how Ais describes him to be), I think Leander would rather be possessed by the MC than possess MC himself.

I don't know if this makes sense. I just think Touchstarved is doing a lot of interesting and nuanced things, and Leander just being a deceptive yandere feels too easy (no offense to the people making those headcanons, though. love a yandere headcanon. i just like to overthink things).

First thought seeing this tag was Momo doing this to someone:

It's healthy sibling behaviour to bite your brothers

Uhm I'm only on episode 851 but crazy Whole Cake Island spoilers and well spoilers for Marineford and Saobody lol but like well yeah One Piece spoilers

There's something about the way Jinbei consoles those who are spiraling from grief. Like Brook was spiraling from the thought of Pedro sacrificing himself, and like Brook was a guy who literally had all of his crew, most of his loved ones die in front of him. Like I know damn well death isn't something he can take easily, no one can really. (Interesting to note that all of the Strawhats have experienced immense loss in their life, like the death of a loved one). Now here they are Pedro sacrificed himself for their sake and Brook was blaming himself for his death saying how he was too weak and this wouldn't have happened if they were stronger (sounds familiar). Everyone was grieving and taking his loss harshly when Jinbei reminded them of the bigger picture and Pedro's intentions. Jinbei has always been someone who's been grounded throughout the story, he sees them blaming themselves and breaks their spiraling reminding them that it's not the end.

Not to make this about Ace but to totally make this about Ace and Luffy (god I'm still so sad about it), Luffy was fucking blaming himself and calling himself weak. From the loss at Saobody and the loss of his brother Luffy was just, god he was not doing well. But Jinbei was there for him, grounding him and reminding him how he didn't lose everything and that shit is still worth it. And yes I see Ace's death as a sacrifice for protecting Luffy, though it was more of a heat-of-the-moment situation than Pedro who was prepared to die because his lifespan was already short. Really I'm just trying to point out the parallels in these two scenarios, the way Jinbei was able to ground Luffy and is now able to ground the Strawhats so they don't spiral to their grief. I mean Luffy was very grateful to Jinbei partly because of his support so it's nice to see others get this from Jinbei.

Got more ASL brain rot for y’all. Timeline here can be pretty loosey goosey as long as it’s before Ace leaves Dawn Island. I will say though that maybe it would be better if it was closer to when Sabo gets shot by the Celestial Dragon. Why you may ask? Well, it’s because in this au somehow Ace and Sabo switch bodies. Ace is trying to get back to Dawn while perhaps thinking this was all a dream because surely Sabo is dead and how the hell would they even swap bodies anyways, while Sabo is trying to piece together the puzzle of Ace and Luffy and how he could fit into it.

Why does he think he might fit into it you may ask? It’s because Luffy thinks that Ace is trying to be more like Sabo due to self esteem issues and that Ace thinks that Sabo was a better brother than him.
