#anyway. i firmly believe theres a canon-accurate interpretation of shanks as a romantic so i dont think it changes his character very much

👀: How does your ship with your f/o influence both of your characterisations and the world? Would there be any interesting metas written about your dynamic?

ohhhh this is Another ask that would be better in a decade when we have more of the story LMFAOOOOOO but i def think theres a big shift in characterization once shanks and i get more screentime and it's revealed we r married! it's a situation very similar to shaki and rayleigh i think, where we r ambiguous enough on-screen but oda confirms in an sbs that im shanks' wife—a reveal that shocks the world i must confess, and which spawns. so much meta about him For Sure. i mean everything shanks does spawns meta abt him. oda doesnt like writing romance in general so in this hypothetical it rlly would be super casual and fairly understated, but the fact Of shanks having a wife is such a humanizing thing that i cant see that reveal happening until much, much later on, after he's already begun to be humanized in other ways and is assured to be on luffy's side and not a big mystery pfft. ofc however for every thoroughly unpacked meta theres 5 fans who hold up the one (1) lovesick panel shanks is allotted and go "LOOK AT THIS SICK BASTARD HES LEADING HER ON!!! THERES NOTHING BEHIND THOSE EYES!!!" which is very funny 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️
