I love how extreme found family is in one piece. Like they took supernatural line of "Family don't end in blood" and actually made good on it. Because it's not just that the crew found each other even before that only really very briefly Robin, Usopp and Luffy could say that anyone biologically related to them raised them.

Like Luffy had Garp and that's his grandpa but he also had Makino and Shanks and the red hair pirates and they were a family unit and he also had Ace, Sabo Dandan and the bandits and they were a family as well and it's never who mattered more to Luffy or who actually raised him cause they all did. It'd be hard to put him in a nuclear family structure because so many people fill the same roles in his life in different ways and that's great like Kung Fu panda said "that doesn't mean less for one parent it just means more for Luffy"

And that's the thing I think sometime fandom can get very obsessive with trying to pin down who is whose surrogate father/mother how do they fit in the nuclear family structure and while that's fun and there's nothing wrong with head cannon characters that way I also think it's important to remember that not every relationship needs a title or definition sometimes you are just family and that's valid too.

Ace had Luffy and Garp but he also had the whitebeard pirates and his pops same with Sabo and the revolutionaries

Zoro with Kuina and his old kendo master, that was maybe more of a rivals, mentor mentee relationship than whatever Mihawk Zoro and Perona had going on but it's all family none the less.

Chopper with Hiririluk and Kureha. Perona and Moria, Usopp with the little village boys and Kaya. Shanks and Buggy with the Roger Pirates. They might not all have had defined roles with each other but it was still family.

Just like Sanji, Nami, Franky and Law and their more defined Surrogate familes

And people like Vivi Robin Usopp and Shirahoshi who had/have their biological parents/family that love them and raised them.

It's nobody that I've just mentioned properly fitting squarely into any of these categories because it's all complicated family is complicated and its messy and it's big and everyone in your family might not have even met but it's family and it doesn't end in blood and for some people it never started there either.

Shanks was 100% one of those adults that let kids try alcohol when they were young. Ya know little six year old Luffy kept seeing them drink and wanted to try some because that’s what pirates drink.he knows there are rules about it by pirates don’t listen to rules!! And to the entire crew and even Makino’s surprise, Shanks agrees. Poor Luffy a shot glass of rum and he drinks it. Before immediately coughing gagging and spitting it up. The crew laughs their ass off as Luffy asks why on earth anyone drinks it and Makino wasn’t too thrilled to see he actually gave Luffy liquor

But the funny thing is? Luffy never asked again. He never sought it out when he got older. If anything, especially after the sake cups. Luffy probably confidently says he doesn’t even like alcohol and while doesn’t mind being around it rarely drinks himself even at parties.

So I know we all have ideas about how they'll portray Ed and Stede's First Time™ but while I don't think we'll see too much, I do actually think (hope? pray?) that we'll see each of them remove at least one (1) item of clothing from the other before it fades to black because The Symbolism of clothing on this show absolutely DEMANDS it.

These two dear, sweet idiots are both desperate, howling pits of self loathing, so the importance of symbolic nudity outweighs that of literal nudity by an almost incalculable margin here. Ed needed someone to tell him he wore fine things well, but they both need someone to show them that they wear nothing even better and that they're good enough for who they are in their very essence and because they're human beings who deserve good things.

I'm also gonna go out on a limb and say that since romance tropes also require it, we'll probably also get the whole illusion of full nudity/tangled up in the bed sheets morning after scene as well (contrasted with Lucius and Pete, who as much as I love them aren't The Show in the same way that DJ has literally said E&S are). And tbh that's the part I'm the MOST excited about, because tropes also tell us it will be the harbinger of casual intimacy afterwards and that's gonna be so healing for them both. Ed's already pretty handsy with people, but casual intimacy is gonna transform both of them in ways they (and we!) never expected and I'm gonna be so normal about it.

remembering when i was eight years old in 2001 and my dad called me over to my parent's computer and sat me in the ratty old grey corduroy chair and made me watch the music video for P!nk's Don't Let Me Get Me and upon its conclusion asked me what i thought about it... because he and my mother were, prior to that moment, discussing whether i, an eight year old, would be thoughtful enough to understand the themes of inferiority and misogyny and depression and self destructive behavior present in the song and video and like i did but more importantly i also immediately started liking girls

[caustinen]

writing buckybuck is the best thing ever because their soulmate level is so insane that every au just makes sense, no matter the circumstances you know those two find each other and love each other alive from any hardships 🙂‍↕️

i would like to say my ideal PJO adaptation (if i was being physically forced against my will to have to pick a live action adaptation over an animated one for some reason) would be a combo like writing of the musical + casting of the show + visuals of the movies

BUT the show actually does have the playwright for the musical as one of the major writers for like three episodes and that did nothing for it. so...

Do not ask me to endure the sight of my daughter walking to the gallows. Do not.

Random sketch I might finish later✌️

I wanted to draw a funny joke,

So I drew Gregory and his dads in the pirate AU story ! <3

(You get it?

The joke is that they're not a happy family in the story-)

I drew Freddy's mane smaller, I think it's gonna stay like this

Let me know if you'd rather it stay the same!

[beesgav]

haaaa I have completely given up trying to draw in the style ^^"

Anyway, was thinking about folding in an idea I've had for a while into my "Harlock dies and Tochiro becomes the Arcadia's captain" AU: instead of picking up and completely ditching, Emereldas... brings her daughter along with her to raise.
