I am reading... The Five Star Stories! A deliciously elegant work, but something I've noticed is that there is a certain fascination with hermaphroditic imagery, and Emperor Amaterasu-no-Mikado (also known as Ladios Sopp) is the focal point of this. They, as a character, are treated with the utmost respect, utter reverence from all those in their presence. They are not presented like a pervert or a sexual deviant, they are well-groomed, compassionate, and charismatic.

Obviously The Five Star Stories is a Japanese work, beginning in 1989, and it follows the tradition of 1983's Stop!! Hibari-kun! in which Amaterasu is exclusively referred to with masculine pronouns regardless of their presentation, so I can't really praise it for being ahead of its time in regards to gender expression and acceptance of trans bodies, but it's definitely ahead of the competition in the sense that Ladios is viewed as unquestionably beautiful, and not an object of revulsion or a punchline.

It's the imagery of the demonic baphomet but instead belonging to a wholly angelic figure. My bar for transfeminine representation in media is low, it should be said, but FSS is really quite refreshing, honestly.

I've only just finished the first volume now (which was absolutely brilliant by the way), so I can't say for certain as to how things turn out (as it's to my understanding that, later on, at least for a period of time, Amaterasu presents completely as a woman) but so far, Mamoru Nagano's crown jewel is just really a spectacular read, and I recommend it in all its incomprehensible glory, enthusiastically, and to anyone who has eyes, solely because it looks like this:

And I think that's pretty cool.

I'm afraid that when the anime reaches the whole part of - Yasopp shooting the Barto Club - people will be like "why can't Usopp be like his father" or how Usopp will never be as awesome and badass as him and before that day comes I just want to say that that's not who Usopp is meant to be, and that's why Usopp enjoyers love him so much.

Now maybe I'm gonna enter sensitive topics but we all know Usopp is black right? No matter how many times Toei changes his skin color, we just know it and also OPLA exists as proof

Why am I mentioning that? Well, I saw a post talking about how cool is seeing Usopp stay tune with his feelings instead of how black characters are portrayed, how he is not afraid to show TEARS and express LOUDLY, doesn't matter if you like it or not, it's part of his personality, he doesn't need to put a serious face all the time and he has accomplished things while being like this yeah? And it's refreshing, if Oda wants to make him be more brave by erasing his emotions then what's the point?

Usopp is NOT his father, and it breaks my heart that even their names are somehow similar for the narrative. We all see Yasopp shooting a SHIP, we know the Strawhats also throw punches and kicks towards Marine ships and everything, I understand that, but please don't tell you don't get where I want to lead with this.

Usopp can be more compassionate, more heart-driving than his father and that doesn't make him weak or in a lower level than Y*sopp

I guess I just want the people to appreciate Usopp for who he is and that he doesn't need to be like Zoro or his father so people start liking him

I really needed to get this out of my system before I forget it

Have some sanuso crumbs

zolu kiss post-lu&sopp water 7 duel

“Do what you want with the Merry.”

At this point, Luffy felt raw. Skin aching like he had been through a wringer, his stomach lurching. He never felt this way after a fight before, the pain receding as soon as he stepped away and he was left energized more often than not. Even after being defeated by Ace and Sabo, nursing multiple swelling and deep cuts, never ached this hard.

Winning never tasted so bitter it burned his tongue.

He secured his hat, furrowing his brow, “We’ll get a new ship and move on to the seas ahead!”

Memories of Usopp playing in his head as fleeting as time. But Luffy continued walking forward, not turning back one bit.

“Well then, bye, Usopp…” he’s tired and shaken, the emotions finally welling to the brim as eyes stung. The feeling too familiar for his own good. “It’s been… fun…”

The noises Sanji and Chopper made when they argued were muffled, as Luffy’s tears clouded his eyes. He couldn’t breathe as snot filled up his nose but a part of him could feel Zoro and Nami’s heavy gazes settling on his shoulders like two boulders. Nami felt like a shard edge as she sobbed with disbelief and frustration. Zoro was calmer but heavy, pushing his head down and pinning his feet to the ground.

Luffy strained the words, as his chest ached, “This is a lot…”

He might be talking to himself, or just his first mate, because he was the only one who was present in the moment. That’s why Zoro immediately answered, his voice a pillar in the middle of a storm that was Luffy’s emotional turmoil. “That’s what it means to be a captain, isn’t it?”

“Don’t waver,” Zoro continued. “If you do, who can we believe in?”

Luffy’s shaking hand pulled the brim of his hat to hide his face, finally crying the tears he, for once, was ashamed of spilling.

They evacuate to an inn somewhere in the city. Luffy was last to walk up the room as everyone unloaded their bags and items. He glanced up at the stairs leading to the rooftop and let his impulse lead him up. He could feel Zoro’s gaze, who was also behind everyone and was dropping a crate of fresh produce. He immediately dropped it by the side of the door and ran after him. Luffy let him because he knew his swordsman had no reason to stop him.

Zoro closed the door as they reached the rooftop, slowly pinning him by the door. His eyes were calm but his lips pursed a bit. Luffy didn’t quite look at him in the face, gaze settling at a particular spot on the rooftop higher than where they stood just across the canal.

“You know, you still smell like rotten eggs,” Zoro mumbled.

Luffy glanced up, unconcerned, “Then, don’t come closer, Zoro.”

He was about to move past the taller man when Zoro held his shoulders and squeezed firmly, taking a step closer as he pressed a nose to Luffy’s cheek. Zoro made a noisy inhale,

“It stinks but I don’t mind the smell, Luffy.”

O-oh… I get it, Luffy buried his face in Zoro’s shoulder as Zoro wrapped his arms around him.

Luffy held his waist tight feeling the urge to cry coming. But Luffy only buried his face deeper into Zoro’s white shirt, brows dropping as hot tears wet a patch of cottoned fabric.

The quiet night grew profound, the water stream under them a still murmur. Zoro's steady heart pulsed him with warmth, one beat at a time. Zoro's scent of sweat and steel was a better companion than his own storming mind.

“Z-Zoro…” Luffy mumbled.

Luffy wanted to explode. With shouts and yells, with questions that piqued the reassurance from Zoro’s baritone voice. He craved Zoro’s presence to wrap around his mind and body like a compression blanket. But he was not good at words when he was utterly emotional and Zoro was not good at reassuring with words and really… words themselves could never articulate the moments they shared together in private.

So, Luffy leaned up, pressing his parted lips on Zoro’s unexpected mouth.

He sighed into Zoro’s nose, invaded his oxygen. Zoro recovered quickly as he pushed deeper until they both fed each other’s hunger with caressing tongues and sucking lips.

Luffy’s body was a floating cloud, white light filling his vision. He was clutching Zoro’s back and tip-toeing when the image of Zoro lying unconscious on the ruins of Shandora emerged and a view of his receding back followed after.

The last one didn’t happen but the fear it invoked came full force, Luffy’s soul felt like it crashed into the concrete ground.

Luffy pulled away from Zoro’s embrace, their lips smacking at the impact as saliva trailed his panting mouth. Zoro opened his eyes wide, but there was no anger or disappointment, only concern concealed behind a cautious look. Luffy reverted his gaze, settling back to the spot he saw earlier.

He pushed past his swordsman, mumbling more to himself, “Thanks Zoro... for making me feel better."

Zoro was still.

"But I want some space.”

Zoro was quiet for a while and Luffy wondered if he had offended the swordsman. Until Zoro turned, voice gentle, “Luffy?”

Luffy looked up and softened his gaze, “I won’t go far. You don’t worry about that. He tugged a thin smile, "Also, I remember what you said. I just think Zoro should rest. Today’s been a lot for everyone.”

Zoro seemed to exhale a relieved breath, shoulders loosened.

Quietly, Luffy stretched his arm and jumped.

i think its so funny how in alter ego every time uika sings the "loser loser loser" part the camera focuses on nyamu. i think she'd notice that and get offended about it
