One piece shipping meme because i can only mentally consume the sillies :( blank template and justification below the cut

lusopp - my favorite guys! I love the theme of devotion in ships between strawhats but I also love that effort they had to put into it. They don't always understand eachother but they are constantly trying to and I love them I could make a whole seperate post abt it

zolu - the devotion? There. The complete interdependence? There. The full faith in eathother? There. Literally the only problem with them is that any conflict with them has to be them vs the world instead of inter-relationship because they are so symbiotic

zosopp - I'm soooo normal about them. Usopp is everything Zoro is not, but all they see is the benefits of that. Usopp confuses Zoro in a good way

sanlu - the subtext between a captain and a cook got to me, man. Also the devotion still gets to me, and I think those two would make for very cute old people

frobin - genuinely forget this one isn't canon sometimes. Autism x Autism. They make eachother happy. I don't know what more to say

navi - listen. I know a lot of the ship is based on fanon because Yuri is hard to come by in a show that doesn't pass the bechdel test within the first 500 episodes. But I don't care. Let me enjoy my lesbian Aladin in peace. Nami being a cutpurse mad at the world for what it did to her and Vivi being a princess desperately trying to control the world just to keep it safe. I love them

roboa - yes I know it's a rarepair yes I know they haven't interacted but. The potential???? Firstly, Robin could fix her. Secondly, Boa could make her worse. Thirdly, they would be able to understand eachother on a very deep level. Fourthly, undercover assassin scenario ✨ yes I'm delusional leave me be

lawlu - lots of great fics, lots of potential, lots of Dressrosa arc. I like them

zolaw - jock x nerd type ship. Not a bad thing. All the content I see of them is gold

lunami - been obsessed since I read Arlong Park in grade 4 at my school library. I'm very specific about them, though, because a lot of the content is two-dimensional guy-girl tropes that don't fit them.

branky/brobin - strawhat old people polycule real. If Jimbe was in the circle he would be here too

usosan - I get it

acesan - they're funny to me

usonami - most normal couple i think

ronami - depends on the content & context

sannami - drum island ot3 real, but without Luffy it's kinda meh

lawsopp - I've seen some good content, but I don't think they would fit well

zosan - they kinda just act like my brother and I? They're kinda that sore spot between witty banter and actual enemies-to-lovers. Some of the content is good, though

luboa - pretty sure it's canonical boa is only Like That because she doesn't have a lot of good sources that men aren't all dogshit

sabolu/acelu/saboace - doesn't really do anything for any of their characters, kinda pointless unless they're ooc and seems more like a kink thing than anything

sanrobin - don't really see it

lushanks - don't really get it

Nothing is in black because saying something people enjoy that doesn't hurt anyone shouldn't exist seems mean to me, I don't really believe in that.

Me snooping around the LuShanks tag on ao3, only to find one with yandere shanks and a dark possessive obssessive shanks which I really like ..💖

Normally with a new ship I don't find anything, which means I have to cut off my sleeves to write asap .. Today is a good day 😌💖

Daniel Ortega defiende decisión de su aliado Putin en Ucrania

Voz de América

El presidente nicaragüense, Daniel Ortega aplaudió el lunes la decisión del Gobierno ruso de reconocer como independientes a Donestk y Lushank, dos territorios separatistas de Ucrania.

Durante un acto transmitido por circuito cerrado en una plaza de Managua donde conmemoró al aniversario 88 de la muerte del General Augusto C. Sandino, Ortega dedicó gran parte de su discurso al conflicto entre Rusia y Ucrania.

“El presidente Putin lo que ha hecho es reconocer a esos gobiernos, a pesar de la agresividad del Ejército ucraniano no han logrado derrotarlo y lógicamente esto trae el respaldo militar para que esos gobiernos tengan seguridad”, dijo en defensa del envío de tropas rusas a la región controlada por los separatistas del este de Ucrania.

/chanting/ Reunion feast! Reunion feast!

ANON…!

…who asked me “How. would Shanks react when he sees gear 5.” I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED YOUR ASK I’M SO SORRY. but let me respond.

at this point in the story i’m very sure we will actually see this reaction. and i’m very sure that Shanks knows the exact nature of the fruit Luffy ate—mostly because of this scene:

Dorry and Brogy are at Egghead to find Luffy, and in the same breath call him “Sun God.” a few chapters before, we saw Shanks talking to dorry and Brogy before he left Elbaf. I don’t think that the giants knew back when they met Luffy on Little Garden that Luffy is the same as Joyboy is the same as Nika. I think we are meant to infer, from all this, that Shanks is the one who told the giants that Nika is Here, in the World, that Luffy is There, and that Luffy is Him.

as for Shanks’ reaction to seeing gear 5…I think very much about the reactions of both Bonney and Vegapunk when they saw gear 5, Bonney’s tears and Vegapunk (I would call it) enraptured expression, calling Luffy beautiful…I think it could be along that range, or even More (I will explain below). now…

it’s my personal theory that Shanks is Nika’s greatest devotee—who has dedicated his life to seeing Nika brought into the world, to Joyboy’s return. I see this in connecting the dots on my cork board with my red string with pins in Roger’s statement to Rayleigh that their meeting was fate, to Roger saying he wished he could have met Joyboy, to Shanks’ tears over whatever it was Roger told him after Roger returned from Laugh Tale, to Shanks’ crew talking about how pirates are free, to Shanks . to how now, again, I am sure Shanks knows of Luffy’s powers, and looking back on his reactions to news that Luffy is making his way through the world, he always looks. well.

(it KILLS me, also, that this particular one happened at a WEDDING. ODA. UM. H-HELLO…)

I think very much about Oda’s offhand statement that Shanks is emotionally immature, I think about how Shanks relentlessly teased Luffy and finally expressed how much Luffy means to him after Luffy was in danger (Luffy is surprised and moved in chapter 1 when Shanks calls him “friend”!), I think about Shanks’ response to his crew saying pirates are free (“stop filling [Luffy’s] head with crazy ideas.”) I do think we will see Shanks’ true reaction to Luffy’s transformation, but I wonder if Shanks will hide his reaction from Luffy and Oda will show it only to us, the reader.

as a shipper I would find that possibility deliciously devastating. HOWEVER if it does happen like that I WILL write 1000 fics pushing them into situations where Luffy does see it because that is what feeds my soul. Shanks kissing Luffy’s hands, the hands that have brought down tyrants, Shanks kissing Luffy’s feet, the feet of his god who walks the earth. that Shanks smiled when he sacrificed his arm to save Luffy because he knew that to Nika, the Sun God, a sacrifice of food will give you his favor forever. how Shanks knows he cannot be the favorite of a god who loves all the world, but Luffy’s flag makes him feel like he could be. how Shanks wants to kneel at Luffy’s feet, but Luffy, but Nika, but Joyboy, does not want anyone to live a life on their knees. what the Experience of witnessing his god will be like for Shanks—Nika this laughing, dancing god, heartbeat the rhythm of a drum. His god, the god he has devoted his life to, sacrificed his flesh for. I think about the way Shanks COULD react, to seeing gear 5, and I think of all the great artworks of spiritual practitioners and mystics and saints and monks experiencing religious ecstasy. I think about the concept, in aesthetics, of the Sublime….

is this what we will get? I do not know. if we don’t, I will write about it (tbh, I have a couple of drafts combing over these themes and concepts that date back to the month gear 5 was revealed). so. I Will Make It Happen.

in addition to this, I would very much like to write about, whether Oda goes into it or not, how all of this gets Shanks all mixed up; loving his god, loving his boy (I think about the moment post-Wano where Shanks is looking at Luffy’s new wanted poster, the photo taken of Luffy clearly with Nika’s power awakened—and he is thinking about his happy memories of spending time with Luffy when Luffy was young) loving the man Luffy has become, how Luffy reminds Shanks of himself, how Luffy reminds Shanks of Roger, how Shanks wanted to keep Luffy safe, back then, how Luffy is the savior of oppressed and the vulnerable, now, how Shanks believes Luffy will usher in a New Age and how that will and has not been without struggle and sacrifice. Shanks, as a son of the Figarland family, a dynasty of slavers, leading a life of repentance, wanting absolution. I want to write all that WITH dimensions of sex and romantic love in their bond. To speak one more time of the canon, I think Shanks has ills in his soul (as so many of Oda’s characters do). I think as much as he has ever done Luffy will free Shanks from those. I think this will be perhaps the most intimate part of Oda’s story and I think Oda has had it in his head for all 27 years he has been writing this story and probably for a very long time before that. now…

now. am I, as they say, a “crazy fangirl” for any and/or all of the thoughts above? well. it is my experience that shipping shankslu (and ofc with lushanks agenda) is being in a state, as an audience member of this story, between hypersanity and utter delusion. either I’m God(a)‘s prettiest princess or I’m worse than the ZKK bros. either just the sheet of this ship has melded my shippers goggles to my head and it is so one with me I can’t look at the text without it, or when this ship first struck me like a bolt of lightning 3 years ago it was actually Oda, the #1 shankslu shipper, reaching out through the collective subconscious and suplexing me actually. which will it be? only time will tell.

[sunflowersred]

thinking as ever about luffy’s flag as a declaration of love. i remember you, i will repay you, i will keep our promise, look at me. i’m coming to meet you. all wordless, all unspoken, but there so plain—a message from across the world, just for shanks.

you give a boy your old straw hat and ten years later you see he’s made it a part of the symbol that he sails, that he fights, that he dreams under. how do you feel?

[sunflowersred]

the other fic i have up right now. this will eventually be a part of a series, but i’m also thinking of writing another chapter. i love the idea too much not to 😍 enjoy!

[sunflowersred]

[sunflowersred]

hi

this is just a place for me to post about my favorite ship. a lot of these posts will be carried over from twitter—just mini fics and general obsessing over this relationship, both as a ship and how it exists in canon.

things you’ll find here:

nsfw content (will tag with #nsfwtxt and #nsfwpic. i’ll try to tag kinks but if i ever miss anything please let me know!)

general caught up canon talk (i won’t be tagging, but i read with official updates)

moodboarding and webweaving: some non-op posts and reblogs of images, quotes, music, etc that vibes w this ship

just expect a lot of me posting about these two characters lmao

things you won’t find here:

leaks, scans, or spoilers

other ships, for the most part. i ship other ships i swear! but this account will concentrate on shankslu/lushanks

i’ll also be posting previews of fics i’m working on and links to finished ones once they’re posted. i hope you enjoy them—comments fuel me so if you ever read anything you like, i would love to hear about it! and please message or tag me anytime about this ship, i literally cannot get enough of it ♥️

thanks for reading!
