#POKEMON AND ONE PIECE?!

[nyarlathotep-thecrawlingchaos]

I want your thoughts on OP blorbos X Pokemon. What team? Would they vibe with a certain type? Which starter? (Can be normal starter or any Pokémon). Do they spoil their babies? How'd they meet?

Sidenote, would they like the Pokémon games??

No not my earliest ever hyperfixation no no no you musn't--

AAAAGH I CANNOT

I'M

I have O P I N I O N S

Sanji's getting a water type. I associate him with water, do not ask why, I just do. I'm leaning heavily toward Marill. Chunky lil guy that would be perfectly happy hanging out in the kitchen, can even assist with the dreaded task of dishwashing, they are perfect together.

Zoro gets a Snorlax. I don't think I need to elaborate, but I'll offer two words: sleepy powerhouses.

Shanks has a Growlithe. He identifies heavily with his flamey lil puppy and it is his absolute best friend in the entire world. The ship is in imminent danger of catching fire.

Benn Beckman has a Poliwrath. It both helps assist in keeping his dippy captain in line, as well as putting out all the fires that him and Growlithe keep "accidentally" setting.

Mihawk is getting a Skarmory. A mfing bird made of swords? How could he not??

Sir Crocodile gets Meowth. Not a Meowth, but the Meowth. Team Rocket's Meowth. Because he reminds me of Giovani and I will not be accepting critique on this opinion. That's his shrewd lil business partner guy and he is spoiled rotten and never ever taken for granted again.

Buggy why is that Mr. Mime following you around and immitating you this is getting a little disturbing--

Bogard has a Houndour that he's trained to attack Garp's ankles whenever he's being too...you know. Too Garpy.

Cora-san has been adopted by a nurse-assistant Chansey previously employed at a PokeCenter, who was particularly concerned about his clumsiness and potential for constantly injuring himself.

Doflamingo gets a fckin Lvl 1 Magicarp. I'm still mad at him about Cora. Like maybe by the time it's a Gyarados I'll be over it, but it's going to take a LONG TIME.

I'm short circuiting on who would like the Pokemon games because I cannot understand people who do not like the Pokemon games, that was half my entire childhood. I may need to come back to the rest of this at a later date.

Archaeologist Robin wants to know if you’ve seen any strange rocks lately!

Just a small detail that I wanted to highlight from Netflix’s One Piece. Even though this is clearly a Western production of a Japanese series, as you can tell from the more Hollywood-ish dialogue and action, the series isn’t completely divorced from its Japanese roots. For example, in the first episode, you can clearly tell Koby and Luffy are eating with chopsticks. And the little girl serves chocolate onigiri to Zoro.

It feels like the reverse of how anime used to be treated in the early 2000s. Remember when Pokémon had to change the name of the food to stuff like donuts and pizza? Now we have a Western show that’s based on an anime, and they’re making sure not to erase the Japanese influence in the series.

I just HAD to share this with everyone on Tumblr (with permission from OP)

Kid just has little metal Pokémon on him??? He draws them in with his powers, and they hang out on his shoulder?? WHAT?!?! ODA, I LOVE YOU FOR THIS. WTF.

I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THIS 😭 it’s PRECIOUS.

Had a dream a young Zoro protected a group of Shaymins and they loved him so much after that 〒▽〒

So I doodled it heehee And I'm pretty sure my brain didn't mean to make the two ball of green fluffs hangout as a joke dzedezd

AO3 is Removing 'All Media Types' without Public Input or Announcement. What Can We Do?

What's Happening?

For those who don't yet know: AO3 and the Tag Wranglers have begun to slowly remove the 'All Media Types' tag for older fandoms. Aka, removing the 'umbrella' tag for many franchises, and forcing franchises to be split by media, or to be shoved under one umbrella that does not accurately reflect the types of fics or source medias they come from. This has been slowly occurring with no official announcement, under the pretense that things will be 'easier' to manage, or that some users claimed that the 'All Media Types' tag was confusing. This has begun in secrecy, without genuine input from the userbase, and without any public announcement. (As of 9/5/2024 9:30 AM PST) Many of us are pretty confident in AO3 staff's decisions, but the fact that this decision is not only incredibly impactful, but made without public input, has deeply violated the condition of the site as an archive... an archive of OUR own.

Current seen issues and active risks:

Removal of 'All Media Types' automatically makes fics from different sources in the same franchise a 'crossover', forcing users to consider non-crossover fics 'crossovers'. So, any fanfic that spans or implements elements from multiple pieces of media in a franchise are now considered a 'crossover', despite being from the same franchise and not a crossover.

Removal of 'All Media Types' forces users to manually search for the fics and ships they want one by one through each fandom tag in a related franchise. (Imagine looking through all the separate DC or MARVEL movies one by one).

The 'include crossovers' and 'exclude crossovers' filters are now useless, and removing genuine crossovers (crossovers between franchises) must be done manually through the filter system, which can take upwards of half an hour, if not longer, with the amount of one-off genuine crossovers that exist.

Slightly smaller franchises are being shoved under the umbrella of a single, super popular fandom. (See, Sherlock Holmes. All Sherlock Holmes media has been relegated to the tag 'Sherlock TV', which confuses users, as the tag now includes not only BBC Sherlock, which is the umbrella tag, but any works based off of Arthur Conan Doyle's original works, the 2009 Sherlock Holmes films, and the 16+ Sherlock Holmes adaptations and international TV shows... none of which are BBC Sherlock.)

Anime and manga fandoms (especially smaller ones) are being automatically split by media type, without regard to the fact that many anime and manga adaptations are very similar, and/or authors tend to often implement elements from both anime and manga.

As far as we are aware, no one is going to be correcting any improper sorting resulting from this.

Accounts that are no longer active/accessible, memorial accounts, and orphaned fics and no longer be corrected by their original authors and are at risk of being misplaced into incorrect fandom tags. Unfortunately, no one can fix this but the tag wranglers, who were supposedly removing 'All Media Types' in the first place to prevent MORE work. Counter intuitive, isn't it?

Already, fandoms are being improperly split, others being improperly merged, and still more being far more confusingly sorted. This deeply damages AO3's integrity as an ARCHIVE.

What Can I Do?

As soon as it's back up again, make sure to stop by the Contact Support page! There, you're able to let them know exactly how you feel about this, and what fandoms your fear will be impacted by these changes. Many already have been.

In the meantime, make sure to contact AO3 on Twitter (or X): ao3org (AO3's general twitter page), ao3_wranglers (AO3's tag wrangler page), and OTW_news (the parent host of AO3).

There is also tumblr: ao3org (AO3's tumblr page) and transformativeworks (OTW's tumblr page).

And finally, the Organization for Transformative Works contact page.

If you are aware of any additional medias, please add them below to ensure that AO3 thoroughly understands the negative impact of this decision, especially the violation of trust resulting from making such a massive choice without impact. Be sure to share this information elsewhere, repost, share the links, and make a stink. Furthermore, if you are able, letting AO3 know that you are no longer comfortable financially supporting them in the future.

Be sure to also repost and list any fandoms you have personally noticed have been impacted by this change!

Already Impacted Fandoms:

MARVEL, MCU, Marvel Comics, Avengers, and related tags

Any Sherlock Holmes based Media

A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon)

I love, love, LOVE your speedrun comic, expecially the parts with Ace losing his mind and ASL reuniting. I am VERY curious as to how, exactly, this gremlin crew of half-feral children managed to negotiate an alliance with Whitebeard. My bet is Luffy just went “rearranges reality until it’s more to his liking and everybody is left wobbling dazedly”. Also, the Whitebeard Pirates thinking “this explains SO MUCH about Ace”.

—————

hahah you got the “everybody is left wobbling dazedly” part right XD. here’s my answer to ur curious musings!!!

An alliance implies equal footing, and to have equal footing with the greatest pirate alive is not something to scoff at. So good job Whitebeard for scoring an ETERNAL friendship with the pirate king 👍!!!!
