ZoLu and love as a religious experience:
What does it mean to dedicate your power, your dream, your whole life to someone? What does it mean to become ablaze with your whole being for them? Zoro doesn't believe in God, but every night he prays to the sun until it rises again. Because everyone wants to bask in the sunlight, but he wants to burn in it. He yearns for it. So, when Luffy turns out to be a god, it doesn't surprise him one bit. Because for Zoro, loving Luffy was already a religious experience.
What does it mean to go further than devotion for someone? The meaning lacks a word, it is indescribable.
So, Zoro loves Luffy, and that's that.
.
What does it mean to let someone worship the ground you walk on? What does it mean to trust someone completely, with the entirety of your existence? Luffy trusts his first mate to be by his side, always, no matter what. What can he give in exchange for such devotion, if not the one thing the other desperately needs? (Faith.) He let's Zoro drown in his warmth, because he knows that's what he needs from him. If he needs a god, that's what Luffy will be. Because how can a man have faith in something that doesn't exist?
What does it mean to become a god for someone's sake? There is no word to describe it.
So, Luffy loves Zoro, and that's that.
.
The devotion between a captain and a first mate is special. No one would dare argue against that. Once they take on these titles, the two men's lives and their very beings become so intertwined that they become impossible to separate.
Zoro and Luffy's souls have been tangled up in each other from the very first day. They exist as one. Devotee and god. Did the god create the man because he was lonely? Or did the man create the god because he lacked direction, or guidance? Either way, they are one.
Captain and first mate.
Devotee and God.

not negating anybody's experience i know black sails is outstanding regardless of how or when or how quickly you watch it. but also, as a gay person who watched it in real time, you really had to be there. they introduce anne bonny and you know your pirate history so you KNOW she's a girlliker. she has a moment with max but youre not sure where it's gonna go. because it's 2014. you wait over a year for 2x01 and she and max fucking obliterate you with the sword drop kiss scene. all anybody is talking about in the tags is vaneeleanor. a few weeks later 2.05 drops and flint is not only textually gay and kissing a man but he is waging war on england, on all of civilization for taking away his male lover. you find this out after investing fourteen hours on this show that have spanned over a year and a half in your real life. not to mention the miranda stuff and silver's arc and mr scott and madi and the death march that seasons 3 and 4 feel like when you have no inkling of how it's gonna end. but you stick with it regardless because it's good and besides it's 2014-2017 and the only genre show with gay people in it is fucking... the 100? lol anyway. more gay people flock to black sails between seasons and the tag becomes more about the gay shit than vaneeleanor, thank fucking god, finally. you all dread the last season. you brace yourselves for the worst. you thank the stars this show airs weekly because watching even just two episodes together is too overwhelming. 4.08 airs. you cry. 4.09 airs. you cry. 4.10 airs. your life will never be the same. you cry so hard you catch a fever and have to stay in bed all week to recuperate. you know this was a once in a lifetime experience never to be repeated again but you can't help but hold every other show to this impossible standard.
