The battlefield was in ruins. Smoke curled through the air, the stench of cursed energy thick and choking. Megumi stood at the center, panting, shadows flickering at his feet— But his eyes weren’t his anymore.

They were Sakuna’s.

That cruel, sharp glint. That smirk. That voice that didn’t belong in Megumi’s mouth. "You should be grateful," Sakuna said through him. "You get to see me again, brat."

High above, a shape blurred through the dust and light.

Itadori.

Bloodied. Breathing hard. His face twisted in grief so deep it looked like rage. Tears streamed down his cheeks, and his scream ripped through the sky.

"GIVE HIM BACK TO ME!!"

He launched himself through the air with raw cursed energy, fists clenched, eyes locked on Megumi—on Sakuna.

A flash of Taylor Swift’s lyrics playing in his head like a war drum: “Don’t blame me, love made me crazy…”

He didn’t care that Sakuna was laughing. He didn’t care that Megumi’s body might break. He didn’t care about the curse laws, the danger, the war.

All that mattered was him.

The one who haunted his thoughts. The one who tore him apart. The one who had smiled at him once, through his own mouth.

And now he was gone, stolen, ripped out of him—and it hurt like hell.

Sakuna–in-Megumi’s-body tilted his head, amused. “What, jealous I moved on?”

CRACK. Itadori slammed into him, and the ground shattered.

His fists trembled, pressed to Sakuna’s chest. He choked out the words:

"He was mine…" "You were mine."

Silence. And for a split second… Even Sakuna’s grin faltered.

Fictional Fandom Shipping

People forget that shipping isn’t the same as endorsing real-life behavior. It’s a creative space where fans explore different dynamics, ideas, and stories that don't always fit into what’s “acceptable” in real life—and that’s the point. Shipping is about imagination, emotion, and sometimes just thinking two characters look cool or cute together. It’s not that deep, and it’s definitely not hurting anyone. Just because a ship has an age gap, enemies-to-lovers energy, or comes from a wild fantasy world doesn’t mean it’s promoting something bad. It means someone found a connection between characters that inspired them. That’s what fandom is about—exploring, expressing, and enjoying stories in your own way, without needing to pass some made-up moral test.

It’s like: “I’m trying to enjoy my silly little ships and you’re over here acting like I committed a crime because I said Luffy and Katakuri had tension??” Like calm down, it’s not that serious!!

Common Criticisms vs Solid Counters for Luffy x Katakuri (If you don't like this ship them you are free to scroll away but don't comment negative things in the comments just because you don't like it)

“The age gap is disgusting!”

“They're both adults and it's fiction.”

Luffy is 19 post-timeskip. Katakuri is 48. That’s a big gap, sure, but they’re grown adults, not a minor and an adult.

There’s zero grooming or power imbalance. If anything, Luffy has the power of chaos and plot armor, and Katakuri’s just out here trying to keep up.

Fiction =/= reality. This isn’t a real-life relationship. It’s a storytelling sandbox, not a dating sim.

“But Katakuri is so much older, it’s predatory!”

“This ain’t grooming, it’s mutual respect and fists to the face.”

Luffy literally fought Katakuri on equal footing. There’s no manipulation. No coercion. Just sweaty, mutual admiration built through battle, donuts, and trauma bonding.

Luffy has the emotional intelligence of a feral golden retriever but the instinctual radar of a sea king. He chooses who he trusts.

Katakuri respects Luffy so deeply he literally fell on his face to preserve his opponent’s dignity. That’s not predatory. That’s romantic samurai energy.

“But Luffy is too immature!”

“He’s emotionally complex, just not traditional.”

He’s reckless, yes. But Luffy has led people into war, held his brother as he died, and carries the weight of his crew like a true captain.

Immaturity =/= incapability of love. It just means he loves in his own wild, intuitive way.

Also, Katakuri likes that chaos. He needs someone who challenges his stoicism and reminds him it’s okay to feel.

“It’s just a crack ship, it has no substance.”

“They fought, respected each other, and left with changed hearts.”

Katakuri literally changed his worldview after fighting Luffy. That fight was narratively intimate.

He respected Luffy’s determination. He smiled for the first time in forever because of him. If that’s not a romantic setup, I don’t know what is.

Enemies to lovers with intense mutual respect? That’s the holy grail of shippable dynamics, friend.

“It’s not canon.”

“No ship is unless Oda says ‘they kissed on page 1.’”

Almost every One Piece ship is non-canon. Canon doesn’t stop fans from loving ZoSan, LawLu, LuNami, or Shanks/Mihawk.

If “canon” was a requirement, most of fandom would be empty. Fanon is where creativity thrives.

Also... Luffy being canonically queer? Would Oda ever confirm that? Maybe not. But that’s why fan spaces matter.

“You’re just making them gay for no reason.”

“Or maybe I’m seeing queer-coded, emotionally rich characters and doing what fandom does best—queering it.”

Shipping gay characters isn’t forcing anything. It’s representation, projection, and liberation.

Luffy’s freedom-loving, gender-defying energy feels queer. Katakuri’s emotional repression and eventual vulnerability feels gay coded. That’s enough.

Plus: It’s fun. And if you don’t get that? That’s fine. Just scroll.

Conclusion:

You can hate the ship. That's your right. But:

It’s not illegal.

It’s not hurting anyone.

It’s not your business if someone enjoys it.

Don’t like? Don’t interact.

If you do ship Luffy x Katakuri:

You’re not “problematic” for shipping it. You’re just a queer creative soul out here spinning gold out of trauma and mochi. Let the haters stay pressed. You’ve got a six-pack Alpha boyfriend and a rubber husband to cuddle.

If Tanjiro is 10 years older than Rokuta but Tanjiro's father, Tanjuro, died when Tanjiro was 9 and Rokuta was born 1 year after Tanjuro died. So...who's the father of Rokuta?

Whenever my brother and I are having fun I want to be the male character in the game but he says I'm a girl so I can't, I hate when he says that but I don't want to tell him I'm genderfluid because then he'll tell dad like always and if he doesn't tell dad he'll blackmail me into giving him money so he'll stay quiet. When I was talking about being bisexual in the car one day my dad just said "you are not bisexual, you're just confused" so now I've learnt to stay quiet and not say anything about myself otherwise I will be unintentionally attacked with words

My class was making a food chain and then answered questions about what would happen depending on different events like species increasing or decreasing. Question 5 was what would happen if another secondary consumer was introduced. The secondary consumer in the test is a frog. My answer to the question was: The food chain would be a mess and my brain would backfire from the thinking.

Genderfluid

For many, gender feels like a fixed point, a constant in the ever-changing landscape of life. But for me, gender is more like a flowing river, sometimes calm and serene, other times turbulent and powerful. I identify as genderfluid, meaning my gender identity shifts and changes over time. And as my gender changes, so too do the pronouns that feel most authentic to me. I use both he/him and she/her pronouns, and understanding how and why is a journey in itself. Before I delve deeper, let's clarify what genderfluidity isn't. It's not a choice, a performance, or a trendy fad. It's a genuine and deeply felt experience of gender that doesn't conform to the binary boxes of male and female. My experience, like that of many genderfluid individuals, is unique and personal. Some days I feel a strong connection to masculinity, while others I feel distinctly feminine. And sometimes, I'm somewhere in between, or even outside of those categories altogether.

I tried coming out as genderfluid. I told my family, they said I was making things up. That's why I've never been myself
