I’ve Come To Absolutely Love The Cowboy/western Narusasu Au.

I love to headcanon that with modern zolu, Luffy is always filming, they give me late 90s early 2000s home video vibes. From birthdays, vacations, home renovations, holidays—to when Luffy just thinks Zoro looks pretty—he’s gonna film it.

hi guys, can I ask what's your current favorite zolu headcanon?

When talking abt Rin’s and Saes meeting after four years, I don’t see a lot of people talk about what Sae said to Rin about Spain

Sae changed his dream to being the best midfielder, him being the first to use the comment that he was “half-baked” and that Rin didn’t understand what it was like beyond Japan.

Sae is made out to be bitter and cold to Rin, and I agree that what he said to Rin was harsh, it’s clear from the flashbacks that Sae is very protective of Rin, so it wouldn’t make sense for him to switch on a dime.

Sae doesn’t want Rin to have the same dream as him, even saying in response that he should quit if his passion for soccer was reliant on Sae and him being the best.

The impression I got from Sae is that he doesn’t want Rin to follow his path, to live in his shadow because something happened in Spain that changed Sae and he doesn’t want that for Rin. Sae is saying not to follow him, to make his own path, that the one he’s on isn’t one he wants for his brother.

(Think of Itachi to Sasuke it feels like the exact same doomed sibling dynamic)

Sae is pushing Rin away, pushing away his soccer dream bc he doesn’t want him to do it for Sae, to do it in his shadow, because the path he followed isn’t one he should see.

And when we think about why Sae teamed up with Shidou and not Rin, the simplest way I can put it is it’s bc Shidou matched Saes freak. Shidou, for reasons we don’t know yet, is just as fucked as Sae (TRUST, they r the same freak different font)

Anyways….Sae isn’t a complete asshole, I mean yeah, he’s said some rough things to Rin but I think ppl r focusing on the wrong things in the reunion of the two brothers

Either way tho doomed siblings r gonna ruin me

Okay I have to rant for a sec.

Something I don’t think a lot of ppl understand is that if u have ibd and/or a shit ton of allergies, going to restaurants SUCK.

I have Crohn’s and a ton of allergies that I recently found out about and going out to eat is just so difficult and draining. Having to watch everyone eat delicious foods and get these fantastical meals while you’re always stuck with the bare bones of a salad, chips away at ur mentality. Plus, with restaurants, there is always the major factor of cross contamination that makes going out to eat very anxiety inducing.

I’m not saying don’t invite ur chronically ill friends out to eat but if that person has said before that restaurants are hard and they CLEARLY aren’t having a good time, find a different way to spend time together. When food is making u sick, having a whole 2+hrs spent around it isn’t the best of vibes.

I think ppl tend to brush over the loneliness of brain trauma and how isolating it is to be recovering from a tbi (traumatic brain injury)

I've been in recovery for 2yrs and something I don't think ppl fully understand is how when ur trying to “move on” and “go back to normal”, your body doesn't move like your body anymore.

It doesn't feel like your body anymore.

There is nothing more devastating than trying live your life in a body that doesn't feel like yours or work like the body you once had. Like how tf do you expect me to move on when my limbs don't feel like my limbs?!

You're left mourning the death of the body you once had and no one else sees or knows how disconnected from yourself you feel.

Brain damage sucks

A modern One Piece Au but Luffy has ehlers danlos syndrome.

He loves to get in fights despite it always ending up with him needing half a pill bottle of Tylenol, five servings of meat, a 4 hour nap, and a joint pushed back in place by Chopper.

Every gang knows him as that ‘stretchy, rubber guy’ because Luffy will purposely stretch his skin out to scare people even though it bruises later.

All of his finishing fighting moves leave him with a dislocated shoulder that Zoro knows how to put back in place after Luffy walked him through it one time with the worst instructions ever.

“Just push it back, quick! I can’t move my arm, c’mon!”

"you can't ship those characters they tried to kill each other!" sounds like someone can't appreciate the inherent eroticism of violence 🙄

People see me with my cane and compare me to Viktor when they really should be comparing me to House.

I’m just as insufferable and even more mentally ill

And unlike Viktor, I don’t regret my attempts of ascending into godhood, I actually embrace my grandiose thoughts and ideas with open arms.

And more than that— the homoerotic relationship I have with my rival/partner will NEVER be gentle nor healthy

“Stop making One Piece gay!”

The whole show is the found family trope

IT CANT GET GAYER THAN THAT.

People often mistake Luffys indifference for ignorance and I’m here to set the record straight:

Luffy is aware of others and their emotions and what goes on around him, he just doesn’t give a fuck outright until you see him giving one.

Throughout the series we see Luffy beating the crap out of someone who’s an ally, for what at first may seem like no reason but in reality is because they are disrespecting a core belief of his or disrespecting themselves.

A great example is when he slapped Vivi (gay on gay crime lmao). He did so because he not only wanted to “snap her out” of her train of thought but he was also so angry that him and his crew were not being seen as her friends, that he was not trusted enough to be someone she could lean on when he had been there throughout their time in Alabasta. Vivi was also being selfless to a point of self destruction, trying to push away the straw hat crew, thinking of herself as a martyr, the only person capable of saving her country. So luffy had to show her reason in classic Luffy fashion.

Luffy is aware, he’s not just some kid playing pirates like everyone often thinks he is. Luffy strives for true freedom, he challenges the world government, he sees how corrupt the government is and denounces them entirely. He punches a celestial dragon because he doesn’t believe in power structures and believes every asshole deserves to be put in place.

Luffy is an anarchist. To be against the government and to start revolutions requires critical thinking.
