12.12 - alles gute zum geburtstag, liebe ariane!

[1997onepiece]

Im that anon that requested for headcanon :D sorry i took so long. Can i get a headcanon of each of the strawhats drinking habits? Like how do each if then act if they get drunk? How much can each if them drink before getting drunk? What is the most embarrassing thing they did while drunk? Do they prefer wine or beer or any other alcoholic beverage? I Was always curious on this one because theres a couple of drinking scenes in op

thanks for this request! it was an interesting one. this ended up being really, really long so im putting it under a read more(probably due to all the pics of evidence i put in from a bunch of different arcs. ive been working on this since 7:30am and its 5:15pm now lol. dont worry though, i took a meal break!)

anyways, i tried to stick to canon/what could be plausibly canon as much as possible for each character (including the embarrassing bits). the headcanons go through jinbei!

i hope you all enjoy the read & if any of you feel differently/have some bit of contradictory evidence, feel free to send it in! im open to suggestions, i tried my best here but i know i probably missed some stuff

also before i start please note that all of them drink beer. all of them. theyre pirates, they kind of have to. pirates sing and pirates drink beer, thats just how it is in luffys mind, so thats the default drink for everyone at parties (i imagine thats how oda feels too)

though beer is the default drink, theyll drink anything. theyre not really that picky. like:

with that out of the way, ill talk personal preferences and experiences of each crew member now

also i will only be using manga evidence from here on out since thats what im familiar with/thats whats canon

luffy:

luffy is usually seen drinking in conjunction with eating a shit ton of food. he doesnt really drink for the sake of drinking alone, he likes food more than he does alcohol lol. he even says this in dressrosa:

so yeah, luffy drinks for the occasion (parties mostly). the only time i see him potentially drinking alcohol by itself outside of a party is maybe if he wanted to sing some tunes with the crew or something (again, based off that whole image of what it is to be a pirate)

like, look at his face here lol. idk whether thats coke or rum but he is not liking it

drunk personality - tuckered out and easily annoyed, after hes done partying. probably goes straight to sleep. itd take a lot to get him drunk though like, do you see how much he has to eat to get full? lol

drink preferences - beer mostly

heres luffy with some alcohol:

an embarrassing thing that could happen to him while drunk: hes made to wear something that insults his masculinity. basically like what happened to him at amazon lily

luffy doesnt really get embarrassed all that much in other contexts in the series, unless his friends are praising him, so this is what i went with

zoro:

he breathes alcohol and everyone knows it. just check out this panel of luffy trying to wake him up at thriller bark by enticing him with a fucking barrel of the stuff:

and also mihawk withholding alcohol from him while he masters haki:

as for his preferences, you see zoro drinking a lot of beer throughout the series but he goes for hard alcohol a lot of the time too. id like to see him on soju or vodka lmfao.

anyways heres some zoro drinking beer:

oktoberfest zoro! he looks so happy haha

heres him drinking some hard stuff:

note how hes supposedly drinking tea in this last one but hes got an alcohol bottle next to him. either hes pretending to drink tea or he spiked the shit lol

zoroll drink anything though hes greedy for alcohol lmao like:

as for his drunk personality, i dont think hed ever allow himself to be truly drunk. as you can see here, his morals get in the way:

thats not to say he cant get buzzed the fuck up though like:

drinking, however, does result in lowered inhibitions so i guess the most wed ever get out of him is some dumb decisions

going off of that, an embarrassing thing that could happen to him while drunk:he says/does something earnestly and someone makes fun of him for it. like what happened at thriller bark with pirate docking 6:

either that or he wakes up having done something he finds beneath him:

to sum it all up, watch this silly ass amv i found about zoros drinking habits lol

nami:

drinking habits/drunk personality: this woman can outdrink a horse like holy shit.

as you can see, shes a boisterous drunk. loud and happy, as well as a little competitive:

sidenote: ZORO AND NAMI ARE THE BEST DRINKING BUDDIES!! just imagine them goading each other on haha how cute

drink preferences - anything. she loves alcohol. shes the alcohol queen

although she can get down and dirty, she loves looking classy. we actually see her drinking fruity stuff/wine more often than beer (but again, shes the alcohol queen so shell do anything):

shes drinking apple juice here in this last one but the point about looking classy still stands

an embarrassing thing that could happen to her while drunk:hmm, i dont really see her doing anything she doesnt want to do tbh. the only time she gets embarrassed is when someone praises her really

i guess maybe going back to her cabin and trying to draw a map drunk, only to spill ink all over her maps? although thats not embarrassing so much as frustrating really

usopp:

drinking habits/drunk personality -  he seems like more of a social drinker than anything else. you dont really seem him drinking unless its a party

when he does drink, he has fun though

he doesnt really have a high tolerance for alcohol though lol just look at him here:

an embarrassing thing that could happen to him while drunk:he gets caught telling a big ass lie and has to pay for it dearly lmao

drink preferences - doesnt really seem all that adventurous outside of beer tbh

sanji:

i imagine he taste tests a lot of stuff as a chef but his favorite seems to be red wine:

thats not to say he cant appreciate a good ass beer when the occasion calls for it though:

going along with this panel, hes a flirty drunk. hes also flirty when hes not drunk though, so its not as if theres much difference

an embarrassing thing that could happen to him while drunk:his vision is so blurry that he ends up slutting it up with an old woman/a man

i dont imagine he gets drunk easily but hes definitely no zoro or nami

chopper:

drinking habits - he wouldnt go out of his way to drink on his own. hes more of a social drinker honestly. hed just take whatever his crewmates shove at him haha

going off of that, hed prefer beer usually (since thats what everyone else is drinking)

drunk personality - he has a little body, so hed get drunk rather quickly comparatively. hed still try to keep up with his friends though so hed probably pass out early. poor little guy would get tuckered out so quick. at some point he would probably learn to change his body size when he plans on drinking a lot lol

an embarrassing thing that could happen to him while drunk:someone praises him about how good hes gotten at holding his beer and he claps his hooves together without thinking, causing him to spill his beer all over himself and drop it

robin:

drink preferences - shes classy. on her own, she usually seeks out wine, maybe something fruity occasionally, but mostly wine

look at that fat fucking glass. shes having a fun time lol

its important to note that half the time at a party even shell drink wine. take these examples from the dressrosa and post-enies lobby parties:

drunk personality/an embarrassing thing that could happen to her while drunk: shes quiet but i can imagine everyone thinking shes sober and then she falls over lmao

drinking habits - i like to imagine her winding down with a glass of wineafter a long day. i can also see her drinking fine wines for the tasteof it. she doesnt really seem like the type to get drunk much

sidenote: honestly i like to think of robin, nami, and sanji as the classy drinks club lol. sanji likes giving the ladies the good stuff

like look at this. i could guess pretty confidently who those drinks are for lol

franky:

drinking habits - mostly with the crew. he probably drank more in the past when he was more ‘hard-boiled’ lol

drink preferences - he drinks cola more than anything else, so i would headcanon his tastes running more towards rum and coke

not to say that he doesnt drink other stuff though:

drunk personality - prone to slapstick humor, as per usual. kind of like this:

an embarrassing thing that could happen to him while drunk: his speedo getting stolen again lol

brook:

drink preferences/personality - he has no taste buds, so he has no preference! yohohoho!

nah but just kidding, jokes aside, it was confirmed he can taste and digest stuff like anyone else. i can see him indulging in some fancy wines while on tour as soul king, he doesnt really drink besides with the crew though

however, i can imagine him during his years alone getting sad and drinking in memory of his old crew, reenacting how they would sing and get drunk together LOL god thats depressing. consider the fact that he would play alone in the middle of the ocean with these panels to back that up:

lol sorry to dump sad shit on you. now he drinks with a happier purpose though

anyways, i guess these days around girls i could imagine him being a horny drunk, a la “let me see your panties”

BUT, of course, hes also a musical drunk! happy to sing and play for his friends

an embarrassing thing that could happen to him while drunk: he removes his soul from his body to go look at some panties but he has no idea where hes going because the alcohol fucked with his sense of direction so his souls just lurching all over the place and then he gets lost & it takes him a few days to find his body again

jinbei:

drinking habits/drunk personality - hed go for a buzz. hes not the type looking to get fall-on-your-ass drunk so much lol, hed know when to stop. i imagine him to be a happy drinker - all smiles and warm compliments

drink preferences - sake. we havent seen him drinking much but when he does drink, hes drinking what seems to be rice wine, based on what its contained in. though of course hes gonna be drinking more beer once he hangs out with the mugiwara crew in full haha

heres happy jinbei with some sake:

note that the character there, 酒, is sake (fun translation note: in japanese, 酒 refers to all varieties of alcohol, but in english it refers to japanese rice wine)

an embarrassing thing that could happen to him while drunk:he tells everyone in sight awesome luffy is and how hes gonna give his life to him and talks about literally nothing else. the next day everyone teases him about it haha

and thats it! i had fun writing this haha hope i was able to elaborate on their drinking habits to an extent that was satisfactory

i tried my best not to come up with ooc stuff but you all will be the judge of that i suppose

i hope the wait wasnt too long for you specifically, anon, & i hope youll forgive me for taking a few days to respond!

thanks for reading, for those that stuck this one out :D

[carlagiguno]

your icons are amazing! could you do a tutorial on how you crop the pics to make them?

Hey thank you so much for saying that :)

Of course! So first of all, I use ps CS5. I’ve never used any other versions so I don’t know if it’s the same.

You’ll have to pick a screencap where the person (or whatever else) is fairly differenciated from the backround. You can find some on screencapped.net (from movies and tv shows!) or you can google it or make your own.

Like this one

It’s best if you avoid pictures where the person has shadows on them. You can always try to fix it of course. It’ll take longer and you’ll need patience. And it’s possible that even after you took the time with a difficult one, the outcome won’t be as pretty as you imagined it to be so you’ll have to delete. Lmao it happens to me all the time don’t worry. Especially if you’ve never tried before. It takes a little time to spot immediately what could go wrong with a pic but you’ll learn from your mistakes.

It’s preferable that the pictures are in HD (it always is lol, especially for giffing) but again you can try with a lesser good quality since you’ll have to reduce the picture size and alter the quality anyway.

Also If you want the color of their clothes to match the backround (or just color at your will), avoid pics where they wear dark clothes.

Notice that when you open a pic in ps, the layer usually has a lock on it. Duplicate it and delete the first one from below (it’s automatically dubbed ‘backround’) or just click on the eye to make it invisible.

Then a very useful tip: duplicate the layer again so you now have two and the first one from above, change its settings to screen like this

If it’s too bright, lower the opacity. And then merge the visible layers. (right click > merge visible)

It makes the picture brighter without adjustments and therefore making it easier for the quick selection tool (QST).

Then with the QST, drag the mouse all over the person.

then remove the additional thing (sorry English isn’t my first language) like here

It’s okay if it’s not perfect, you’ll be able to fix it later. Now you just have to click on ‘add a layer mask’ 

And it’s cropped. Now with the brush tool, you can refine the edges. Don’t hesitate to zoom in and out (ctrl+ “+” or “-”) and define the size of your brush tool whenever and the change the hardness to 100% or less if you want I’m used to to do it this way)

You can add a colorful layer below so you don’t miss anything. Don’t bother trying to keep the locks of hair if they’re sticking out like Emma’s here. Again it’s still okay if it’s not perfect. Also if the QST removed something that you didn’t want to be removed, you just change the color of your brush tool from black to white and proceed to drag the mouse around the edges where the QST fucked up

The pic on the left is passable too, i just wanted to give you an example.

It’s time to change the size now. Crop the image if you haven’t already (like me) (because you can do it even before using the QST. Make sure the person is in the middle if you want them to be.

(I just realised, bottom left, that I missed a part of the backround because it has the same color of her jeans, welp…)

They don’t HAVE to be in the middle. Sometimes you can make an icon out of the person when they’re on the left of on the right of the screen and therefore cutting a limb from the screen or something. You’ll obviously have to align the person on the left or the right. Like this

(It’s an old xmas icon from last year you can take it if you want to!)

Where were we?! Right, now you change the height (image > image size). 

The final image must be a square (width=height). It can be 100x100 but i don’t really like it that way cause you can’t even make out her eyes with this quality. The eyebrows even disappear, so…

 I usually make my icons from 120x120 to 200x200 it depends. You can make it however you like though. There isn’t a right way to do it. The whole process of making an icon, I mean. You just do it how you feel like and how it works for you and it’ll fit as an icon as long as it’s a square.

So here I choose… umm say 200x200, alright I’ll go with it. 

The top of her head isn’t too far from the edge of the canvas on here so i’ll reduce the height to 170px (it’s currently to 1080px)

See the quality now, a bummer. Remember when I said it was okay if the edges weren’t perfect, now you can’t even tell how it was before.

Then go to image > canvas size. For some reason, the default unit here is in centimeters. Change it to pixels. And change the height and the width to 200. Now the anchor. Just click on the arrow that is pointing down. like this

Click “ok”.

If you want the difference between the top of her head and the edges of the canvas to be bigger, just reduce the height again and proceed to go the canvas size to change it to 200x200.

And here you go :)

I advise you to sharpen right after this because it’s too blurry (filter > sharpen > smart sharpen) 

Don’t forget to not have the layer mask selected (where i circled in black on the right) otherwise it won’t work.

Do this twice and it should be sharpened enough.

And then the fun part, the coloring.

You didn’t really ask me to do a tutorial about the coloring so I’m not gonna do it here because the post will be way too long.

I don’t know how well exactly you know how to use photoshop so I took the liberty to explain with details to avoid any confusion.

However if I weren’t clear on some things or something isn’t right when you do it yourself, don’t hesitate to ask me!

Could you like the post if you found it useful though, please? Thank you very much, I hope you’re having a good day :)
