One Piece Brazillian AU

In which they are travelling in a van (Merry) and later a bus (Sunny) through all of Brazil. That might be very selfish, but I'm doing it anyway. Thank @majubengel's amazing art for it.

They set pretty good places/locations for each straw hat: Luffy from Belo Horizonte (it's my city and I might be way too happy about it but whatever), Zoro from Salvador, Nami from Belém, Usopp from Brasília, Chopper from Canela, Robin from São Raimundo Nonato, Franky from São Paulo, Jinbei from Fortaleza and Brook from Cu de Judas (don't look this up btw it's not a real place it means judas' ass hole and it's just an expression to a very distant isolated place nobody knows), they also said Doflamingo is from Rio de Janeiro

From my own: Vivi is from Vitória, Yamato is from Curitiba, Law is from Niterói, Kid and Killer are from Recife, Shirahoshi is from Manaus, Perona is from Ouro Preto, Ace is from Uberaba, Sabo is also from Belo Horizonte and Carrot is from Porto Velho.

Skypiea is Fernando de Noronha, Wano is the state of Paraná, Alabasta is the state of Espírito Santo, Enies Lobby is STF (Supremo Tribunal Federal/Supreme Federal Court), Ohara is Serra da Capivara, Marineford is Forte Caxias, Sabaody is Florianópolis, Punk Hazard is Urupema, Dressrosa is Rio de Janeiro, Zou is the state of Rondônia, Whole Cake happens in Pantanal, Egghead is Campinas, Elbaf is Gramado and Impel Down is Centro de Confinamento de Terrorismo (yes I googled that)

Enel - Enem (Not a real name but I had to make that joke cuz that's the name of brazillian national exam for college and also everyone's greatest fear)

Lucci - Lúcio

Hancock - Anahí (it looks to have no relation, but I like the name and you'll see an explanation later)

Pudding - Pudim (poor girl)

Katakuri - Amido (ok, I looked up his ethimology and its some kind of plant used to make flour. I didn't want to, but now the guy is gonna get bullied for a completely different reason. Sorry dude)

Big Mom - Mãezona (I'm so sorry)

Marshall D. Teach - Marcos

Kaidou - Kaito

Some other notes: non-human species are now brazillian folklore creatures. Perona is some kind of loira do banheiro (with the difference that she is alive). The Wano people are all of japanese descendant (Brazil is the place with most japanese people outside of Japan in the world). Doflamingo is basically a dono do morro very influencial in all favelas of Rio. The Amazon Lily girls are Icamiabas, who are said to have been a group of indigenous fighting ladies at XVI century who were mistaken to be the amazons. Kept the Charlotte family food theme cuz I want it (has no explanation for it actually). CP-9 is from ABIN (though they are much cooler than ABIN). Ohara is set in Serra da Capivara as it is a historical spot with lots of cave paintings and stuff. Chopper is a veado-bororó-do-sul. Luffy is basically Chico Bento (look him up). Campinas is Egghead cuz it's a technology poll. Gramado is Elbaf cuz its a touristical point because of its influence from european immigrants' culture. Law is from Niterói cause... well, Niterói and Rio are similar to US's New Jersey and New York. Sorry, Niterói, you get a horrible death from bio weapon, swear it's nothing personal (I also wanted to "parallel" revolta da vacina). Chose Ouro Preto to the setting of Thriller Bark due to it being full of ghost stories, old buildings (like, centuries old) and stuff. Sea Lords are Boiuna and Minhocão. One of Hancock's sisters is basically the Princesa Encantada de Jericoacoara. Her place was taken by Mihawk and that's Kuraigana Island. Fishman Island is Manaus.

Please ask things about this I got lots of ideas.

They got to embrace each other again yesterday, at long last.

Our Pikachu >=] love her ♡

Troilus design! (ft best dad Apollo) He's around 12 years old here.

Researching Troilus' story is not an easy task because unfortunately most of the ancient texts focused on him didn't survive and others only survived in fragments.

This story is brutal even for greek mythology standards so please keep that in mind if you want to continue reading this or do more research on your own.

Something that all of the versions seems to agree on is that he was a Trojan prince, son of queen Hecuba and was killed by Achilles. His father was either Apollo or Priam (Apollo fits more with the context of the story though).

Most of the versions also focus on Troilus' young age and he's often shown to be visibly shorter than Achilles on the vase paintings depicting his death.

The most popular version of the myth (which is also supported by ancient vase paintings) states that Troilus and his sister Polyxena (she's not preset in every version though) went outside of Troy on their horses and while they were at a fountain Achilles ambushed them.

Achilles then chased Troilus who tried to hide inside of Apollo's temple (possibly seeking his father's protection) but Achilles caught up to him and murdered Troilus either inside or in front of the temple and then brutally mutilated his body.

There 2 alternative reasons given for the murder:

1. There was a prophecy which said that if Troilus reached 21 years of age Troy would never fall.

2. Achilles fell in love with Troilus, tried to force himself on him and was enraged when the boy refused his advances. (This version seems to have more surviving evidence)

It could also be that the only reason that Achilles killed Troilus was the fact that he was a Trojan prince and therefore an enemy but this does not seem to fit with the brutality of the act.

Here are some vase paintings that show Troilus' death at the hands of Achilles

Ahahaha

Hey Disney, instead of wasting your money on making soulless live-action remakes, milking Toy Story for all it's worth and race-swapping iconic characters for "representation", here are some fairytales and scrapped movies you can adapt and un-cancel.

The One-Handed Girl; A Swahili fairytale about the trials a girl goes through as she deals with the unfettered greed of her older brother.

The Cat and the Cradle; A Dutch legend about a baby and a cat floating in a cradle after a city named Kinderdijk floods.

Tawhaki; A Maori fairytale about the demigod Tawhaki going above and beyond to be reunited with his Sky-fairy wife. (Edith Howes’ version here)

The Sisters Envious of Their Cadette; An Arabic fairytale about two sisters plotting their younger sister's demise.

The Four Skillful Brothers; A German fairytale about four brothers each learning a different trade of skills, and learn to work together once their father puts them to the test.

Gigantic; A planned animated musical film by Disney that ended up being cancelled. It was suppose to be about Jack discovering a world of giants hidden within clouds and befriending an 11 year old giant named Inma who treats him like a living doll.

Newt; A planned animated movie by Pixar that also ended up being cancelled for multiple reasons. It was suppose to be about two blue-footed newts who can’t stand each other being forced by science to save their species from extinction.

Don’t be afraid to correct me if I got anything wrong. And feel free to add to the list if you want!

Never agreed so much whit a tumblr ship post

Have brainrot here are my favourite straw hat ships and why

Zolu - i just love them, they make so much sense they're literally soulmates. Even in fics they aren't together romantically they will always be soulmates. The way they understand each other with a look. They way luffy was so excited to see zoro in impel town only to realise it's just bon clay using his face. The way zoro is always so ready to die for luffy cause his dream is now so integrated with luffys.

Lusan - sanji is luffys babygirl especially after wci. The way luffy looked at sanji when sanji was talking about the all blue.

Zolaw - grumpy sword bfs. Like they have so much potential like why did zoro have to pull law onto his lap after dressrosa. What happened onto the journey together wano that made Law so desperate for zoro not to die. They're seen together in every scene in zou.

Zokiku - if zoro was going to be with any woman it would be a 7 foot tall samurai lady. The despair in his voice in wano when he sees her arm.

Namivivi - GIRLFRIENDS. They're so cute in little garden and alabasta. They are literally in love.

Namitash - nami and her love for strong female marines after her mum.

Namiwanda - they're so cute in zou, nami cares for her so much.

Sanuso - love love love them they're such cute bfs. The way sanji is so protective of usopp.

Usokaya - the cutest childhood friends to lovers

Sanjiviola - the only woman with an appropriate age without making sanji look like a predator. They were actually so cute in dressrosa.

Acesan - ace was flirting. Ace was sanjis bi awakening.

Frobin - PARENTS AHH I LOVE THEM. They had so much chemistry in enies lobby, thriller bark and punk hazard. Robin making fun of him and playing nonchalant as her way of flirting, and franky being bold in how he shows his interest in her. Frankys speech saying she deserves to live.

I'm a bit of a sucker for the Robin jinbei franky and Brook polycule I can't lie... they just work.

Tbh the east blue polycule is also so cute, like the east blue boys are namis boys.

There's probably more i can't think right now I'll add more if I think of more

that’s how the scene went, right?

Wait. Wait a fucking second. Looks at Trustedpartner

Is THAT why I love Sanlu so much?? HELLO????
