Time for Luffy's fashion exam! Now, I'll be honest, I did skip an outfit because I decided I will be ending this whole thing with the Strawhat fashion show in Episode of Luffy. Also, sorry for the posting gap, I remembered I have other unfinished post sets. That being said, this is a very long one so let's do this!

Kid Luffy, Post-Enies Lobby & Fish-Man Island: I think it's super cute when Luffy has white t shirts with red based logos because it reminds me of the first picture. Makes him look baby plus, they can always be found in cute domestic EPs or fun, cute flashbacks. The shorts change over time and that's also kinda cute, a range of cuffs is a nice change up. It's nice to see the red contrast the blue shorts and the white is a nice color on him cos it contrast his hair!

Romance Dawn, Enies Lobby, Thriller Bark, Sabaody Archipelago, Amazon Lily, Marineford & last Dressrosa outfit: This look is the pre Luffy look. It's the pre Timeskip look everyone thinks of is cuffed shorts, Kimono sandels and sleeveless vest (and Strawhat, obviously) but have you ever seen them all in a line? It's mad. Each outfit is the same basic look bit more are more spicy each time! I like the Thriller Bark and Sabaody Archipelago looks a little bit more cos it's nice to see that jacket open and it feels like he was trying something new. I also feel that the buttons on the jacket look like the ones on Shanks' pegged ankle sailor pants when we first see him so that's cool. (it took me hours to find the name for his trousers, oh my fucking god) The last Dressrosa outfit feels like a nice callback to the rest of the line up here without being too much cos it's just a red vest top instead and I do find it funny it's like the Enies Lobby and it's used in Dressrosa because of the jokes people make about Robin and Law being so similar.

Timeskip: This is it lads, it's the one true icon itself, the post look! ☺️ When I sit back and look at it I see all the people this look is influenced by and want to cry at how masterful it really is. (Now, I do wanna say that I didn't come up with this nor am I the first to say it and I am definitely probably looking too much into this but) The yellow belt is taken from Shanks' red belt the first time we see him and the Shanks look Luffy is more familiar with. Now onto the jacket. I know it won't stand out as to why for most but it's Ace inspired! When Ace leave to become a pirate, the start of his adventure, he has his jacket open and Luffy having his jacket open also shows his scar from the ending of Ace's adventure. I also really appreciate how no one hides scars in this anime. Also, someone said that the style of the jacket and it's fancy frills could be in reference to Sabo's little jabot collar and honestly I do see it. it's quite subtle unlike Shanks' but not as hard to catch as Ace's so I enjoy thinking that it's there too. Lastly, he still has his cuffed shorts and kimono sandels because it's still Luffy's outfit at the end of the day and he is still who is is, just with a stronger appreciation of what people have done for him now. It's also his colour pallette for the pure fact he is the main character n needs his pallet. also sometimes he just has normal wooden sandels but the same outfit sometimes, it's a small detil a lot of people overlook but I prefer the sound of his Kimono sandels 😊

Dressrosa: I love this outfit cos it's stilly but also has very nice vibes. Looks ready for the beach but is really throwing hands and that's the best kind of outfit, it's a nice expectation subversion tbh. I also like how he tried to hide the Straw hat but not... All of it? And I love how the crew didn't actually question it either. It would have been super easy for one of them to just tell him to leave it behind or something but I do really love how respectful they always are of the hat. I myself have a hat that's super important to me and when I loose it I go mad.

Whole Cake Island: I love this arc for outfits! I swear if the actual content of it doesn't kill me, the act looks will 😭 it's all so magical and it knows it is! Like I said before, white is a good color on him as he has black hair but for the same reason, so is black! In this arcs outfit range, the Staw hat seems almost invisible and his outfit gets less and less 'Luffy' as the arc gose on showing this is not about him. He's not the focus of this arc and you can see that in a lot of the outfits thb. I also like the lack of blue and yellow, 2/3 of his colors as Sanji is often associated with those too as we've talked about before. Also, I like the little red strips on the white jacket with the gold buttons, idk why and I think it's nice that the last 2 outfits are so simple in general, it's a nice look for him. oh, what's that? A Pink jabot? Your killing me Lu, straight up killing me here lil' bro! Side note, is this the first time in canon Luffy has worn a suit jacket or is it the only time I've noticed? Cos DAMM!! Shits sick as fuck and I actually love that when wearing a suit jacket as such he always keep short on 😆

Spa Island, Z's Ambition & Strong World: WHOS READY FOR A RELAXING SUNNY DAAAYY!? (pun not intended but very much enjoyed) I actually adore the fact Luffy still tries to go swimming cos it was his favourite thing to do as a kid so like fuck Luffy is gonna give up on that. He's got his safety measures ready, what more do you want from him? I mean I personally want him not to swim with his hat on cos it's litrally Staw and that's not good for water but anyway Z's Ambition, am I right!? The top is so fucking cute and I just noticed those shorts are also ✨designer✨ fancy man!! Now, the pic of Zoro is the one I missed out before and it's also from Z's Ambition. I love that Luffy has the shark top but Zoro has the ocean shorts. I really love Zoro in this purple cos and thick white stripes really work with the ocean waves. It's really well put together and hes got dark brown sandels on to off set all the white but keep the purple from being a stand out color, it's cool! Than the last Luffy looks like he's at a fashion show. It looks like the shorts come from a kids set the shark top belongs to. Imagine those together, it'd be so cute. However, it isn't an ocean patten, those are clouds cos Nami has a bikini top with the same pattern in Skypiea and it's actually one of my favourites for her.

Boss Luffy Historical Special! This filler AU is so much fun, I think any it a lot. He has his hair up in that super cute and useless way that doesn't actually do much but I do have my hair like that a lot n it's just... nice? Idk, it's strange buy I like he did that. I really enjoy his Kimono more that the actual Wano one cos it's a lot more simple look. The Sai being tucked in in that way is also cool but kinda makes it look like it's stabbing him a bit 👁️👄👁️. I like the pin strips being like a faded purpleish cos if you just glance at it, it makes it look it fuzzy. The belt also looks very nice with the middle ligter bit. It really feels like the Wano one was inspired by this is a way cos of the color matches. Like, it's probably not but still.

3D2Y, Adventure of Nebulandia 😍 & Heart of Gold: Hat-less Luffy is both a sin and a blessing. Regardless, I LOVE OP BOYS IN HOODIES!! I had to show you this specific the 3D2Y because we don't see the hood and it's soooo cute cos it a paw 😍 but also 😬 cos it's like... Kuma's paw the thing that cause 3D2Y in the first place. But that's also why it's so cool at the same time and AHHHHHH 😄 Now! On to Nebulandia! I really like this movie but also in canon, how does he have that jumper? Who made it for him and can I have one? It's Usopp flag design so I guess it could be him but he doesn't seem the type. Point is I want one. Last of this set is some really cosy outfits!! "How much fur?" "Yes" am I right? Like the first one is sooooo cosy with all the fur! Plus, a funky new bamboo hat, always a good thing to have a new hat. I appreciate that you can see the zips on these too. Then the orange turtle neck one with little fluffy bits is just here cos it's so out of his usual looks, I had to at least mention it.

Strong world & Film Z: The shorts on the first one are really cute cos it's a light rosey pink with red fur and just a plain solid dark blue colour jacket works really well. Not to mention the fact he has a super cute orange and yellow flight helmet hat with goggles on under the Staw hat. The 2 bag straps also make an X which is a nice detail. The 2nd outfits in this movie are super fuckin cool ngl. It's so strange to see them all dress in black and have guns but I like the red shirt for him with the yellow highlighted parts. Makes the Straw hat actually work with the outfit instead of ignoring it. Film Z brings us the same flight helmet hat just brighter and without the goggles but also opens with this T-Shirt and Luffy being silly with it. I think that's the only reason to mention it, it's funny. Then the obligation pirate outfit, always stunning plus the meat belt.

Film: Gold & Stampede (also used in Cidre Guild): these are my top 3 Luffy outfits no matter what else I see. I love the straw cowboy hat sooooo much cos it's very Luffy. I like the balls they has as a team to choose white for all of them, considering they are all quite messy people, living for that dad shirt and I like the Golden chain around his neck but am always confused as to why it was never used against him. Like dude could and should have tried to choke him at least once, right? Anyway, the dress! Now, the dress isn't actually that good but it's my favourite because it shows how Luffy has no fucks about gendered things. On to of that, a big pink flower is wonderful and look at his confidences in it, he's so proud of it the boom, Nami told him he can't wear it! Lastly, the Stampede outfit!!! Just like the Nebulandia jumper, I have no idea who made it but it's irrelevant cos it's beautiful and I want it so badly. I like that it's white and red stripes, gives thenprefect vibes for Stampedes opening. The shirt is actually too big for him, you can see on his arms but it's actually super cute. I love the simple look of these shorts then the fact his yellow belt is replaced with white bandages and the black on the kimono sandels are now red? It's such a simple pallet and it's truly the best!

I also just wanna add, I think it's really cute when Luffy has the Straw hat on his back just cos his hair is really cute. Idk why, it's looks kinda cursed but cute at the same time

This post took 2 weeks or so to make and we made listening to the complete BNHA soundtrack, film gold OST and Sonic generations vol.1

thoughts b4 this shit goes Off The Rails

just a general collection of How I’m Feeling for tonight bc sundays give me bad anxiety now:

• i think tyrell is dying, and i think it’s gonna be a stupid fucking move!

• i really, Really love this show obviously, but if there’s one criticism i have of it, it’s that sam doesn’t know how to write continuous story arcs. we saw the same thing with gideon, joanna, and angela. all of these characters had the potential to grow and accomplish even more, but they died because sam was just done with them in the narrative. he easily could’ve kept them alive, but he didn’t want to. i think tyrell is gonna fall into that category tonight, sadly, despite (like the others) having a lot of unfinished business still unresolved.

• or maybe i’m mourning prematurely? we’ll see, i guess, but i don’t have a good feeling about it.

• regarding whiterose: after rewatching (almost) all of the series this past week (lmfao i know), it refreshed some memories for me. she wants her project to be in the congo for the coltan, which makes tantalum capacitors, which are used in like, every single electronic device ever. so her project is some sort of Huge Scale electronic device...gotta keep that in mind.

• since it has to do with parallel universes, i’m still on board with the idea that she’s collected everyone’s private data to create infinite digital simulations of reality. also, her interest in elliot is more clear to me now: since his father helped create the project, she wants elliot alive to see the end of it, after having been (involuntarily) complicit in finishing it. because she cares about the Symbolism, and coming full circle.

• she explains this better in the 3x01 opening. good for her for knowing what she wants!

• i’m still not sure what role vera is going to play in all this. honestly, the more i think about it, the more i think that the vans following elliot were him instead of dark army, and vera’s gonna get guys to kidnap darlene in this episode. like: elliot and tyrell leave, darlene comes to the empty apartment soon after, and vera’s guys take the opportunity to use her as bait or blackmail. and then kill tyrell probably, for, y’know...i don’t know, actually. funsies? i don’t think there’s a good way to kill him off right now without it seeming cheap.

• i should make a Memes For Tyrell Surviving folder AND a Memes For Tyrell Dying folder, just in case.

• either way, i still get upset remembering just what happened to shayla in season 1. everything from her waking up in the bathtub to elliot finding her in the trunk was absolutely fucking traumatic...if vera gets some sort of redemption arc out of this, i think i’ll be pissed regardless. everyone’s done awful shit to vague, unimportant characters, but shayla was an innocent character from the beginning we were meant to feel attached to. and i did! idk, i just get sick thinking about vera getting away with what he did to her :-(

• this got too long for my liking, so i’ll leave on the note that: the guy the FBI was interviewing in 4x02? the professional “disappearer” guy? yeah, he’s gonna help dom and darlene fuck off into hiding in budapest at the end of the season. Ideally. In My Perfect World. thank you.

I got tagged by @superhappybubbleslove Thanks for the tag!

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?

Uh. If I’m being honest I have an old FF.net account I never posted on and only created so I could comment and follow fics, too chicken to post anything, from like 5 years ago with the name, and it was all i could think of when I made my tumblr. I’m not incredibly inventive with screen names. I don’t even remember what got me to use that name on FF because it was so long ago and I was too chicken to post!

2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/favorites, follows/subscriptions, visitor hits, kudos)

I only have 3 Fics out right now, so of the 3, it would be Coincidences Lead to Consequences, which was my first fic posted, the first fic I have written in over 4 years and I was so shocked by the overwhelming support I got from the fandom!! 

SO appreciative for the feedback and understanding, as now, I am even scared to look at it because I am sure it is scary bad.

3. What is your FFnNet/AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it?

I actually never put one up ? I guess I could do that...

Two regular, supportive commenters who make me feel like utter MUSH and give me the motivation to try harder,  (you guys are amazing) Joanna and Sarah

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?

I read probably 3-5 of them over and over. 

Talk Too Much by @xaphrin

All I Ask of You and As the World Falls Down by Khirsah on AO3 , they are the same story told by the perspective of the two main characters, same events but totally different outlook- Dragon Age fandom. Great read. 

All of The Wild Florida Bay,- but mostly Merry and Bright (Because I giggle and roll around in joy) by @sabraeal

And Pas de Deux -because it is written so viscerally and beautifully that my whole being wants to weep with a myriad of emotions that overwhelm me,  by @superhappybubbleslove

There’s more but these are the MOST frequent ones

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?

2 Subscriptions... I don’t relaly understand the the bookmark thing.  I should use that stuff more.

2 Subscribers and 13 bookmarks HOW NICE !!! I did not know this. 

9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are 😨 of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

There’s a few fandoms I wanted to contribute to, but they’re so large and I’ve seen people be judgey and I am scared to post in those because I am still getting into the swing of doing this.

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.

Everything. I know I am coming from a very rudimentary level of skill where I am fueled by passion and not so much by ability. I would love SPECIFICALLY to get better at nailing tension in scenes a bit more fully, I kinda feel like those fall flat sometimes for me. 

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?

Ah. It’s noncannon but definitely not a rarepair, and the stuff I’ve written but not posted have also been for cannon or somewhat popular noncannon ships.

12. How many stories have you posted on FFNet/AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?

3 Haha

13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?

GOD. 7 ? 8? Some are scraps not finished others I hate and want to redo or as stated before I am scared to post. 

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

I take notes sometimes, I guess. 

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

Nope but i think it would be very fun and it would be awesome to have someone giving me feedback before I post it!! I would love to , I think I could learn a lot and enjoy the experience!

16. How did you discover FFNet/AO3?

Google.

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on FFNet/AO3?

Nooooo no no no. Very new. Used to be just kinda creeping on other peoples stories, dolling out kudos but scared to comment. 

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

Nope, it’s “Hey guys!” or “My dudes!” at the beginning and end of my apologies. 

19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

Several !! I saw how open and accepting the fandom was and I wanted to be part of that!

I don’t want to over tag but I have several above already mentioned.

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

Jeeze I am a beginner and I do it for fun myself. Maybe have fun and don’t stress yourself too much because it should be fun?

21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

I mostly get hit with inspiration on an outline but I miss large portions of plot so I add those as I go but I do have the biggest arcs planned.

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?

Nothing bad, I don’t actually think anyone in this particular fandom would leave a bad comment? everyone is THE MOST KIND OMG

23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)

Ah. Romantic tension that leaves that burn in your soul where you are just like OMG BUT WHY NO KISS ? I struggle cause I ALSO WANT KISS

24. What story(s) are you working on now?

One called “The Door Down the Hall” and one like.. short couple chapter thing called “Curiosity Killed the Cat” Hopefully this one won’t run away and become longer than intended like Magic In The Woods did ahah *cough*

25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

Sometimes inspiration sparks and I have to get the planning down before I forget but I AM TRYING not to juggle too many at once. So maybe 2 small fics at once is my limit.

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

No but I’ve been told I should so that’s the plan starting next week. 

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?

I hope so !

28. What is your favorite story(s) that you’ve written?

I only have the 3... so. Idk, I think I like the premise of Magic in the woods best, maybe.

29. What is your least favorite story(s) that you’ve written?

I trash the ones I hate before they get posted. And then intentionally forget them. So. Yeah. 

30. Where do you 👀 yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

I do this for fun so I Just want to improve and continue to feel stress relief from it? 2017 was rough for me, I have a 1 year old and a 4 year old, and my dad got SO sick. So the writing was a nice personal escape when I have a little time to myself at night. 

31. What is the easiest thing about writing?

Uh. Planning?

32. What is the hardest thing about writing?

Not trashing everything in editing because I end up thinking it is bad.

33. Why do you write?

Stress relief ! It has been great to have something to do with myself, that’s just for me and retains my sense of identity among the other hats I wear of Mother, Wife, and Employee.
