Falling In Love With Your Captain Am I Right 😂

reasons to write fanfiction (I'll start):

share a cool scene that popped into your head

evoke a particular emotion the canon makes you feel

song made you think of a character or idea from canon

make people feel the same way about a character you do

make dolls kiss for fun

explore ideas the canon hints at but doesn't do anything with

traumatize characters and make them suffer

coddle characters and let them rest

had an insane idea for a crack ship and now everyone needs to know

the author of the canon was wrong and must be fixed

use familiar characters to explore your own ideas and plotlines

canon is too short and you need to wallow in the universe of the story

Pssst... something new is coming...

...this weekend!

I TOTALLY FEEL THIS AS AN ARO

I JUST WANT TO SEE THEM KISS AND WATCH CREEPILY IN THE CORNER

being ace is so weird cause when you're watching shows you get a lot of "omfg this person is so hot i want them to kiss me" but you're just here like "omfg this person is so hot i want them to kiss this equally hot person who has chemistry with them"

I SWEAR I JUST HEARD THE WILHEIM SCREAM IN THE ONE PIECE LIVE ACTION AT LIKE 15 MINUTES INTO THE BARATIE EPISODE SOMEONE TELL ME I'M LYING

this is just constantly in my mind tbh

any time anyone asks me what one piece is even about i’m just going to show them this i think

Just wanted to write some headcanons I have about Zoro since they'll just stew in my head otherwise.

Firstly, sexuality:

- When I don't ship him with someone, he's aroace (he doesn't give a shit in Canon so it wouldn't surprise me)

- If I do ship him with someone, then I headcanon him as either demisexual/demiromantic or boreasexual/borearomantic.

(borea- means that the person has a set orientation but there is an exception centered around one person. With Zoro, I'd see him as aroace but then he meets someone who he does actually love.)

(Demisexual/demiromantic means that someone only feels sexual/romantic attraction after forming an emotional bond. This would make sense in Canon if Oda ever decides to give him a relationship, and I think it is the best option for most Zoro/person fanfiction.)

Either work well in my fanfictions, though it generally leans towards borearomantic/boreasexual.

Next, actual sexual life, since it's related:

I imagine that he would have had sex before but not cared for it much. Sexual attraction is separate from enjoying sex, mind you, but this is just how I imagine how he felt.

I like the idea that he tried it with a woman and didn't care, so tried it with a man and still felt nothing, so just didn't do it again.

I think that he wouldn't care for the person and so didn't feel anything (because of the aroace/demi/borea identity). That would probably take place in his bounty hunting days.

I think it would be funny to have the crew talk to each other about if they were virgins, and him bragging to Sanji (who is definitely a virgin, don't lie) about having sex with two more genders than him. That's basically the only reason I headcanon it.

Next, disabilities:

It makes sense if Zoro is dyslexic (getting lost all the time, and have you ever seen him actually read?).

I also love these types of fanfic, so I love seeing it show up more often.

I don't think he's autistic or anything else, just introverted with a struggle to trust.

Lastly, a bit about his childhood:

We know nothing about his childhood before 8, so whatever happens depends on the fanfiction and how I want people to react.

In my mind, I think that Zoro had parents die at a very young age and so lived in an orphanage that was pretty negligent because of lack of money. As a result, he was kinda free to do what he wanted.

I don't think he actually remembers his parents, and so doesn't really care. It would explain why he never mentions them.

I don't think that he saw Koushirou (his master) as a father, just as a mentor, but I do think that he and Kuina thought of each other as siblings. The Dojo was the first place that treated him like family, so he thinks of it as his first real home.

Also, since Koushirou told Kuina that a girl can't become the greatest swordsman in the world, I think that he would have a slight grudge and dislike for his more 'traditional' views.

And that's it. Just some random stuff I've finally scribbled onto an online platform.

I think we should steal Zoro from the dudebros indefinitely

AND NOW HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TONY TONY CHOPPER

Chewing and gnawing on the irony One Piece continually shows with the main characters where they're doing objectively kind and helpful things and that's what gets them in trouble with the law. It's the selective application of criminal justice. The bias and room for corruption built into the system itself. It's delicious. It's horribly relevant. I'm obsessed.
