#soul king brook

Brook wip for a friend Posting shall help keep me motivated

[raccoonsandrangoons]

And I wake up at 5 to keep Sanji company but Brook’s music puts me to sleep and I have a nap at the table 🙂‍↕️

ever since i read that brook and sanji get up at 5 am, there's been two possibilities in my mind:

1. Brook gets up naturally at that hour and then Sanji starts to do it too because he's not gonna leave one of his crewmates without breakfast longer than necessary

2. Sanji already had the habit of waking up at 5 to start prepping breakfast and Brook gets up too to keep him company

Brook is a Zosan fan, too:

The soul king energy has always been in him, I think.

It's his day once again! This is my 6th year of brookposting on his birthday and I'm still as full of love for him as ever. Can't believe it took this long for me to draw a guitar.

Bonus: fashion is all about subverting expectations

LMAO YES

luffy is weird and strange and insane yesyes but what about the strawhats. they match his freak to a level that's dangerous to the public. nothing could ever prepare you for the insanity that is the strawhat crew. one could give you all the member's job descriptions and you would still be grossly underprepared for the clownfuckery that they are. actually, knowing their positions might fuck you up even more.

there's the ship's cook who dresses solely in three piece suits and smokes enough to give everyone in the grand line lung cancer through second hand smoking. he's gotta be an easy target right? WRONG now you are dead with a shoe sized hole in your chest because that guy's one of the strawhats' top three fighters. they have an archaeologist/terrorist for some reason??? what the hell, sure. surely she must be easy to kill. LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER your neck has been twisted your vertebrae broken not a single bone in your body is intact this might be the worst way to die actually. there's a sniper in the ship and hey look he's seems kinda weak actually, even if he had good aim one could take him down if they wore good armour surely- WRONG YOU ARE NOW FOOD FOR MAN EATING PLANTS. okay. fuck. they have a pet that likes cotton candy. maybe you can kidnap that. it's the ship's doctor?? it's supposed to be a reindeer??? whatever man it's not that weird right MAJOR WHOOPSIE HE IS ACTUALLY AN ELDRITCH HORROR YOU ARE DEAD AGAIN. they have a musician in the crew and it's a skeleton? wait. IS THAT UNDEAD MICHAEL JACKSON OH MY GOD- game over. he cut you with some underworld music powers or whatever the fuck. man fuck this crew. this shit is so ass.

one of my friends and i accidentally made a one piece modern au and it’s like 99.9% the dumbest bits you’ve ever seen. so of course i’ve been thinking about it all day

I feel like there could be a whole dissertation written about Brook and Gunko and how a capitalism driven industry so often takes the beating heart from the arts and turns it into a product.

Then again, there’s a whole dissertation to be written about Brook being inspired by multiple genre defining artists, such as Robert Johnson- Delta Blues legend and one of the fathers of Rock N’ Roll as we know it, who (allegedly) claimed he sold his soul to the Devil at a crossroads for exceptional skill with the guitar.

Now what devil might Brook have met at a crossroads?

[cryingpariah]

Every time some [INSERT FILLER INSULT HERE] bastard says Vivi can’t be the final Strawhat because she’s not strong or implies Luffy picks his crewmates based on how useful they are I want to legally change my name to Kyle so I can go around punching holes in drywall without consequences.

Powerscalers have their heads so shoved up Akainu's ass I’m seriously questioning if they really watch the show at all. Luffy has not and will not EVER pick a crewmate based solely on usefulness to him when this exact line of thinking pissed him off so bad during Arlong Park and his fight with Arlong.

Luffy picked Nami without ever seeing her actually navigate, he wanted Sanji without trying his cooking, he chose Chopper simply for being a fellow monster, he wasnt even aware little dude was even a doctor. He didn’t know what a Poneglyph was when he accepted Robin as one of their own. The same Luffy who considers one of the most important aspects of pirate life to be music and consistently saying how badly they need a musician??

I just know we aren’t talking about the guy that wanted to recruit a tree in Thriller Bark like this. “Oh but that was just a gag.” Maybe to us but not to Luffy, he really wanted that tree.

Luffy picked the people on his crew because he likes them, he’s an insanely good judge of character with a high level for emotional intelligence and people willfully choosing to ignore that undermines his character a lot.

The character you’re looking for? The one that picks his crew based solely on power and what they can do for him is Blackbeard. You know, THE ANTI-LUFFY.

DPMO and hop off my goat please and thank you.
