talking about how pudding is constantly threatening to kill sanji and his response being smiles and laughter and a bigger crush, how that can be connected to his childhood where abuse was the only way anybody paid attention to him, also how it can be connected to his relationship with zoro where they constantly fight and bicker, esp with how many fights sanji starts himself, it’s literally flirting for him. my boy would not trust a serious compliment, but would trust a knife at his throat.
Ideal ending to WCI is Luffy seeing Sanji cry and then awakening his devil fruit and unlocking Gear Fifth out of sheer RAGE and saying the classic line of “Who made you cry, Sanji?! I’ll DESTROY THEM!!!” and then proceeding to go on a rampage and fucking absolutely EVERYBODY up including the Vinsmokes, Pudding, AND the Big Mom Pirates. Toss in the trope of came back wrong and Sanji can immediately tell something is not right about this Luffy, whose smile is too wide, whose eyes are too distant, who continues to beat upon his enemies long after they’re down, who seems to take a sick sort of pleasure in hurting others, who grins and giggles and tells Sanji he’ll obliterate anything that makes him cry. Eventually he starts to scare Sanji so bad that even Luffy notices his reaction, and immediately turns on himself because if HE’S the one making Sanji cry then he’ll just have to destroy himself too. And that’s when Sanji finally leaps into action and does whatever he can to reach Luffy—including kissing him. Luckily that was exactly what Luffy needed to snap out of it, and when he comes to the Whole Cake Chateau is in broken pieces, the Big Mom Pirates are battered beyond fighting and the Vinsmokes are nowhere to be seen. And softly, tiredly, he asks if they won, if he can bring Sanji home, and Sanji cries again and says yes, take me home to the Sunny, I want to go home with you.
OK I have attempted to make *ahem* a certain pudding for Christmas. It is currently steaming in the crock pot, and will be for 6 freaking hours. Oh boy.
I personally blame Eight (And my love for A Christmas Carol) for this disaster
No time to explain take this cake and enjoy your day
If someone gave me this cake I would take a picture too and like. Frame it. I'd be so delighted. Tragically my betrothed makes actually lovely baked goods.
Oden's prophecy of young pirates coming to save wano becoming yamato's hope for his freedom.... and him becoming oden because of it.... it's just so good... on the other side luffy taking ace's spot for liberating yamato... I think I hauve covid

the closest ill ever get to being a pick me girl is the joy that fills me when the chefs at work so clearly favouritise me. like im there nicely cleaned up in my smart-casual uniform just a 20 year old waitress smiling my customer service smile and behind me spawns Scary Dog Privilege 10x in the form of several burly middle-aged chefs at least three of which have criminal records and would all stick a bread knife in someone for bothering me
Buggy should adopt Pudding in his crew, it's Buggy it's doable
YOU'RE SO REAL FOR THIS!!!!!!! Pudding has always been bullied and marginalized for her looks the same way Buggy has or, well, basically all of his crew has. It's just obvious his crew is made for outcasts trying to find a place and sense of belonging, and somehow he manages to turn that into a home. And Pudding actually would get along with him. I mean- I am not really sure at first, but their personalities are very similar when it comes to changing moods and extreme feelings. The only thing I'd say is that it'd be hilarious to see this young girl rolling her eyes at Buggy's cowardice because she's been through so much and she's usually the intimidating one, lmao. He'd help her find a place of belonging and she'd help him stand up for himself. They'd talk shit about Shanks and Sanji (which ends up being only them insulting those two just because they're in love with them and they do not know what to do with their frustration about it) and Alvida would be so done with them (but at least she'd kind of understand Pudding). I am not sure how this thing would happen exactly but I personally find it so endearing. They'd be so cute and supportive of each other too. I mean, Pudding already comes from a very eccentric family. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't mind being Buggy's cook and dress in flashier clothes. At least she's appreciated and loved there, finding herself and her purpose and passion.
