#brooke says a thing

[eastbluecrewed]

happy one piece anime 25th anniversary and HAPPY ONE YEAR (and a bit) ANNIVERSARY OF ME STARTING ONE PIECE !!!!!!!!!!!

october 2023 feels like a lifetime and also a week ago and i am so so grateful for this stupid little pirate show and all the things it's made me feel over the past year. it is truly absurd the impact a story can have on you. i sure as hell didn't expect this one to, and yet here we are. wild

[witchzvamp]

i like that they didn't make po's ex a woman bc that would make me think they were making the "i'm not gay i only like you" type of narrative which makes me so fucking mad every single time it happens

also po likes men and that's ok, i think everyone around him is okay with that fact and that's so important (to me!), it's not a big deal for anyone around him, he doesn't have to hide his attraction to men from anyone

that could still happen with yhame because we don't know about that part of him, and that's not and shouldn't be the focus here, but yeah, it could happen (i mean, he obviously can't announce it publicly but yk we know he will not have to hide this form the members bc he will have that talk with pepper)

but i'm glad po knows that he's attracted to men, and he knows that he feels ✨something✨ when he's around thame (and probably has a tiny little crush on him, but i still think thame start to like po first, obviously)

and thame knowing po for what? at the most a week and already offering to send him home if it's too late omg like BRO STAND TF UP PLS

i can't wait for both of them to start thinking that it could be more than just a work relationship (it already is but they don't know it), bc po will be so overthinking it and thame will be like yeah i like you and want to be with you bluntly

[athena-xox]

In my quest to explain everything we know about the narrators is… ugh

Because I want to say that Brooke is just saying bullshit. Like just completely lying for fun because I think would be so funny and would def help with the explanation

“Oh yeah I live in the mirrornet and I’m best friends with the lorax what about you guys?”

But UGH. EUGH. AHHH.

I know that that probably shouldn’t count. But !!!

 “What are you doing here so early? After last night, I thought you two would be dead to the world the whole day.” she teases, then goes to get a cup of coffee.

“Hey, Karen.” Buck responds quietly, not answering the question. Hen does it for him.

“Buck’s having a crisis. He slept with Eddie.” Hen says, and Karen turns towards them, eyes wide, but then the surprise turns into a smile.

“Well, finally.” she chuckles, reaching into the cupboard for a mug. “I thought it’d take them decades to figure it out.” she pauses, then frowns, turning towards Buck again. And he chooses to ignore that comment, because what the hell did she even mean? “Wait, what happened with you and Taylor? When did you guys break up? Did I miss some 118 gossip?” she asks, shooting her wife a questioning look.

“No, you didn’t, they’re still together..” Hen responds, scrutinizing gaze not leaving Buck. “He cheated on her.”

People keep on wanting to see Sanji and Crocodile fight in a Cross Guild match up, and I want to argue a more interesting match up

Crocodile vs Robin

Robin just uses Gigante Fleur to grow a giant version of herself, spits onto Crocodile to moisturize him and then squashes him like a bug

[lpsotd]

honestly if i was savannah i would've smacked sage upside his head in brooke's closet. if he actually liked her he would've asked her about the things brooke said about her??? am i insane or. i personally would've rejected him.

[awtysm-cryptid]

Any Marine/Antagonist in One Piece:"No one is stupid enough to-"

*with fond exasperation* no no i promise you they are its not even that they're stupid they just don't care for you please don't say those things they'll just prove you wrong cause your face will look funny

[lesbiansayaishii]

the way that both sophia bush and hilarie burton's characters in grey's kissed women/broke up marriages (debatable with teddy, i haven't see season 21) should count for something. i think the thing they should count for is all that tension brooke and peyton had on one tree hill and never once on purpose kissed. anyway

[beanghostprincess]

You are on my page a lot with one piece takes so i wanted to send you one I had about brook. So I've lost my parents and my best friend and I personally have had a lot of dreams where they were still alive even addressing the fact that they shouldn't be alive but it's clearly ok now. But something sad that I think Book goes through in secret (maybe even Robin to some extent though different dreams) Brook often dreams of being back with his old crew or back on the ghost ship alone. At least once a week if not more. He wakes up in either delight only to see that while he isn't alone anymore he still misses his old crew, other times he wakes in a cold sweat fearing the new crew was all a dream and he is still alone on the ghost ship. Robin for a time I can imagine still wakes up in the old places she used to stay or wakes up as the person in her dream was trying to turn her in like so many have tried. These two have I feel the worst backstories of the crew. Just a thought or two I had.

Sorry about those dreams, it must be really hard. Something similar happens to me too and it's awful :( <3

I also believe Brook and Robin have dreams and nightmares about their pasts,, Brook dreams about his crew or being all alone and he wakes up having to check on everyone and not being able to go back to sleep. Same as Robin, I think, who besides having nightmares about being turned in to the Marines, also remembers her mom in her sleep.

I think, since they both have similar situations, that they often wake up in the middle of the night at more or less the same time and have night tea together in the kitchen. They talk gently and maybe they even mention their dreams. Opening up to somebody who knows what it feels like is reassuring.

Thinking about maybe Sanji joining them too? For obvious reasons. I just love this trio, ngl. Wano did something to my brain,, I think Sanji would end up joining them too, with the excuse of making tea for them, but he also has dreams about his past. It's actually really sweet because Sanji ends up falling asleep again on the dining table while Robin and Brook talk and they look after him until it's time to wake him up. I really like the concept of these three having quiet, tea sessions in the middle of the night after having nightmares. Who said found family couldn't fix everything-

whenever I draw one of boyd’s characters with a soft belly (most of them btw) I can rest easy because I know it’s what he would want

Seen people share their headcanons of what would Luffy call Crocodile if Crocodad was Real, and it did get me wondering

Like on one hand, Luffy has a perfect track-record with respecting trans people and not misgendering anyone, so if Crocodad Real, Luffy wouldn't misgender him

But also, Luffy has two braincells, and having two people to call "dad" would probably be confusing for him. And Luffy doesn't seem like the type of guy who'd either of his parents "Father" either. Canonically Luffy tends to use more affectionate terms for his family, including Dragon despite never having ever met him ("tou-chan", "ji-chan" for Garp, "nii-chan" for Ace. Note the lack of the polite "o" at the begining, and the use of "chan" instead of "san". The take-away here is that he's basically being a bit familiar and kind of affectionate)

And let us not forget, how Luffy loves giving nicknames to people

So it would be perfectly on-brand for Luffy to come up with a new nickname for Crocodile, if only to help differentiate The Dads

(Like yes, Luffy does technically have a nickname for Crocodile already ("wani", lit. "crocodile"), but it's not really an affectionate nickname (or a particularly disrespectful one either, kind of neutral (though calling someone you're not friends with by a nickname is kind of rude)). And while Luffy can and does drop the funny nicknames for people if he decides he likes them enough (see Hammock turning into Hancock, or Luffy learning Bonney's name and using it because he felt bad for her), if Luffy did learn about Crocodile being his other dad and wanted to treat him as such (which he also might not, to be fair)... yeah he could come up with a new nickname)

Now the question just is... what kind of a nickname would Luffy then come up with?

And because I'm a fucking loser with a passion for translation and localization, I'm almost specifically interested in what kind of a nickname Luffy would come up with in Japanese. And partially because, depending on the nickname, it could just be the exact same nickname in English too. Like Luffy's "Yama-o" got localized as "Yamabro" because the "o" (written as 男, lit. "man") needed to be translated and localized for the nickname to hit the same in English. Same for shit like "split head" for Foxy or "giant shallot" for Moria, or "wani" getting localized as "gator" because Luffy calling Crocodile a "crocodile" as a nickname would not make any sense in English lmao

So... a cute nickname that makes it easy for Luffy to call Crocodile his "dad" without it getting confusing with calling Dragon "dad". Maybe something that ties to his name already and preferably rolls off the tongue easily in Japanese... Like we have our Crocodads and Dadodiles but these nicknames are based in English, so they don't roll off the tongue nicely -> Can't imagine Luffy saying either. But... I think the fans are onto something there... There must be a variation of this nickname that would work well in Japanese...

Papadile.

I could see Luffy coming up with a nickname like that. It would roll off the tongue pretty easily. The only counter argument against it I can think of would be that Luffy does not seem like the kind of guy who would call anyone "papa". Like that word does not fit in his mouth.

...Anything else?

Well. I guess there is the third, forbidden option of Luffy calling him "oyaji" ("pops"), much like Whitebeard's crew called their captain too.

But that just leads us to an interesting thought; what the fuck would Crocodile prefer Luffy call him?

I mean this is Sir "Call me what you will" Crocodile, who generally does not seem to care that much about what people call him. Like we could take that and just assume Crocodile would not give a fuck about what Luffy called him, but it's also possible this could be like The One Exception to The Rule. And there's many potential reasons why too

Like there's the practical side of things where it could be a pain in Crocodile's ass if the world found out the two were related, because it'd mean anything bad happening to either one could be used against the other. Someone targetting Luffy could be then used intentionally to target Crocodile and viceversa. As Dragon said, a child is a parent's weak spot after all. So it could still be in Crocodile's self-interest to keep their blood relation a secret. But also; Crocodile had to leave his child behind. Much like how Olvia felt like she had no right to call herself Robin's mom, it'd make sense to me if Crocodile felt kind of the same. That regardless of their blood connection, he had no right to call himself Luffy's father, let alone deserve to be called that after what he'd done to Luffy.

So maybe Crocodile would prefer to be just called by his name. Maybe he'd be satisfied with that. Perhaps being called "pops" would lowkey annoy the shit out of him because it would just remind him of That Asshole Who Took His Hand and beat his ass. Which, y'know, fair. Perhaps "Papadile" would be just a bit too ridiculous and cutesy for him tolerate. And perhaps Luffy calling him "dad" (or "father", or any variation of it) would be a lot more emotionally compromising to Crocodile than he'd like to admit, especially if he believed he would never be called that

But knowing Luffy, if he knows being called "dad" made Crocodile happy (even if he didn't want to admit it), and if Luffy did decide he liked Crocodile/accepted him as his other dad... He'd probably keep on calling Crocodile some variation of "dad", even if he insisted that "Crocodile was fine"

Also worth noting that according to this SBS, if Croc did raise a child that child would use 父上 ("chichiue"), which is quite a formal way to call someone Father

So that would be Crocodile's canon preferred term but god knows there'd be no way in hell he'd be able to convince Luffy to call him that, shit's way too formal for Luffy
