#the needle skips

I feel like Zoro's three sword style and facility with counting would be a very transferable skillset when it comes to making socks.

So now I headcanon that whenever he's got downtime not training or napping or bickering with Sanji, Zoro settles in to make socks for the crew.

The first pair he ever makes is actually for Nami. They are a little too big in that way that is actually perfectly slouchy and comfortable, and she secretly adores them and wears them on chilly nights while map making.

...I think he probably learned knitting from Perona, actually? So maybe he has socks for the whole crew when he gets back to Sabaody. Except Luffy, and Frankie, who obviously wouldn't wear them. And Brook, whose sizing he couldn't figure out (what would you even measure??). Those three get scarves.

He honestly tried to still make socks for Chopper, but... Well. There were obvious challenges to making socks for something furry and with hooves. He wound up making leg warmers. They have little snowflakes on them.

Usopp's socks are basic, with a bold horizontal stripe pattern in goldenrod yellow, reminiscent of the color of Sogeking's mask. Perona INSISTS on making some cute little felted sheep bobbles to go with them because the socks are Not Cute, but Zoro is too embarrassed to attach them. They become a bag charm. Zoro specifically tells him it's from Perona and smirks when he goes pale.

Robin's socks are better fitted, and slightly more elegant than Nami's, since he started on them so much later in his learning process. They have a whimsical floral motif, and are made from a yarn Perona picked out for her. It is quite possibly the softest thing Zoro has ever touched, and the socks feel like clouds when they're finished.

The real challenge turns out to be making socks for the cook. Sanji is fussy about his clothes, and Zoro knows how hard he is on his feet. He ends up making a very basic pair of suit socks in a deep, rich blue so dark it's nearly black... It takes him three times as long to make them as any other pair he's made, because he keeps starting over.

In fact, he's still working on them on the boat back to Sabaody. He finishes just in time, and Perona steals them away and wraps them up like everyone else's gifts before he can start over again. The first time Zoro sees Sanji light his own foot on fire, he winces and reconsiders whether he should even give them to him. But in the end he does anyway.

(Of course he also made socks for Perona and Mihawk. You think Perona taught him to knit for no reason? Hers are THIGH HIGHS, for fuck's sake! They took FOREVER.)

once you're stripped clean, what's at your core?

animal intuition

loyalty is the saint you pray to. if you ever were stabbed in the back by your beloved, you'd probably apologize. to your enemies, you're fierce. to your allies, even fiercer. you cultivate a thick inner circle built on promises & devotion, fit only for the best of the best. it's impossible for most to even begin to dissect the type of person you are, owing to your unbreakable emotional walls & confusing philosophies. dream careers? body guard, movie star, unwitting pawn. don't let people get the best of that loyalty.

Rewarding myself for completing tasks does not work for me because I don't even desire things that badly.

becoming a more frequent occurrence to see a post about living with OCD, relating, then pushing it out of my mind because if I think too much about whether or not I have OCD I might begin to ruminate on it and stress myself out ... (obsess, one might say) ... but i digress

For some reason voices are giving me a massive sensory overload today and I'm trying so hard to remain silly and not get mean over it

❛ just let me do this for you. ❜ from mia ~

"I already told you — you don't have to. It's not like you owe me anything." Even though he said that, he already knew that there was no way to change Mia's mind. She was quite the stubborn one. Sure, he did pay the bill when they first met and went to the cafe together.

However, he did so because he simply wanted to, not because he wanted to be repaid — especially not in kindness, it made shivers run down his spine. He glanced at her puppy eyes and sighed in defeat. "Fine. You can patch my shirt up. Just... be careful with the needle, darling."

my favorite building on campus is the weird old brutalist one that's right next to the water and somehow it is deeply surprising to my classmates that before and after classes in that building i go out and skip rocks for 15 minutes. let me inject a little joy into your lives. have you ever known the bliss of chucking a rock into a body of water? let me introduce the delight of happening upon a perfect skipping rock. the euphoria of beating your own high score of skips. the breath of fresh air. the opportunity to spot a cackling goose amidst a flock of canada geese. the world is not all computers and numbers, my friends.
