List the Strawhats from worst to best on who gives the best hugs

okay, we are going to divide this into hug quality and hug enthusiasm because those are two very different things

Luffy--A++ enthusiasm, but if you're not from the OP world I think he would probably crush you like a boa constrictor

Zoro--he's not a touchy feely guy so negative enthusiasm, but he's also canonically got the second biggest chest size in the series and I think that has to count for something

Nami--prone to hugging and gives good hugs, probably has the best overall grade in the crew

Usopp--mostly seems to hug people in fear? Idk he'd be clingy at times, but would give good quality hugs

Sanji--holy shit he has so much baggage with both men and women, I think giving either a hug would give him an aneurism. Also reeks of cigarettes so minus points there

Chopper--very enthusiastic hugger with bonus points for having multiple forms to chose from. Only negative is that sometimes while in brain point he latches onto people like a face hugger and I like being able to breathe

Robin--She's just learning how to show physical affection so it'd be a work in progress. *However* Wano proved that if there's a child who needs a hug she is the person to go to

Franky--I don't think we've ever seen him hug anyone which is strange. I feel like he'd be prone to bro hugs, but as he's metal it might not be comfy. Also we're not told how well insulated his stomach fridge is so it might be cold

Brook--Very enthusiastic with his hugs, would be very sharp and bony.

Jinbe--He's got a sense of propriety that I think might lead to him being more reserved with his affection, but they would be of excellent quality

Also re: 1137, i know there are SO many other options for who it probably is, but when I saw the rando crew wearing a bunch of tiny kitty ears in the cover story i said to my partner "wouldn't it be so fucking funny if Oda brought back Kuro after working on OPLA because he suddenly remembered that character existed again"

I can't believe we finally know what Shanks would look like if he took a shower more than once a month

Also i swear to god Oda either somehow suddenly become an ass man while on vacation before Egghead, or he hired an assistant designer or something because my god the CHEEK on the women lately. The No-Pants on Egghead thing was eyerolling but whatever, gotta shake up the gimmicks, but now we have another no-pants girl in 1137?? And we got buttcheek VISIBLE FROM THE FRONT and accurately done, in the way you only pay attention to if you've drawn a lottt of porn. Not to mention the ocean of breasts on all the giant women actually feeling like they're being rendered with substantial mass???

I want to go back and look at the art development around the chapters that were sent out fairly rough and pencily, because i feel like that would be the most likely place for him to have either changed up his workflow or hired an assistant. Not to be all conspiracy board (having assistants is perfectly legitimate and he's been doing this for ACTUAL DECADES and he DESERVES REST!!), i just feel like i would have noticed if Eiichiro "draw women with two circles and an X" Oda had figured out T&A sooner lmfao

The Strongest Swordsman in the World

[puddingapologist]

I just watched One Piece Fan Letter and it was one of the best things I've ever seen in my life, and I cried my eyes out, but also.

USOPP WITH HIS PRE-TS SKINTONE? IN THE POST-TS DESIGN? WIN.

Oh so they CAN do it huh? So it's possible, Toei? It's doable? Easy even, you say? Curious!

[puddingapologist]

One Piece Fan Letter ripped my heart out and held it gently in a loving and compassionate embrace 😭😭😭 i love any story that examines the every day lives of people living in an epic fantasy but oughgh my FEELINGS, how did they pack SO MUCH into 22 minutes???

MODERN AU ACESAN !!!! first impressions with a guy who barely passes the No Shoes No Shirt No Service rule

[puddingapologist]

i know it's the animation change and shit but it's still so funny to me how they babygirlified ace for marineford. like alabasta ace?

kinda greasy. pointy ass bastard. marineford ace?

the biggest wettest eyes you've ever seen. cute bangs. tom hardy lips. he's doomed by the narrative and he's going to look SO pretty on the scaffold

[puddingapologist]

I love (and am actively ill over) the fact that ace canonically will not shut up about his lil guy. when jinbe found out ace’s brother was in impel down he was like OHHHHH LUFFY the kid in the strawhats you’re ALWAYS talking about. to luffy’s face he’s like “punk ass” but to everyone else he’s handing out school pictures from his wallet
