Deranged sabo+sabolaw is my everything 🫶✨

It's the eyes y'all. the eyes 😔.

[ajuunisu]

LMAOOOO THIS IS EVERYTHING TO ME NAD THE WHISKEY BRO HELP IM DEVOURING THIS ART AND MIGHT DRAW AN AU LIKE THIS SOON BRO LETSS GOOO ASL YEHAAW BROS

ASL Cowboy AU

I figured i should give the other two designs since i made Ace pretty cowbish in this post o' mine. You guys really liked that post, i didnt expect so many people to rb my rough doodles lol i'm so glad so many of you see Dream Whery's vision :D

additional lore/design discussion 👇

I feel like pirates to cowboy is a pretty 1 to 1 translation, so this au follows the same plot-line that the original property does (sorry, that does mean that Ace passes away in it. Hate to see him leave but we also hate to watch him go)

Much like Ace's knife (or whatever tf that green thing on his hip is) in his original design, Ace doesnt actually use his gun at all. Its just there to make him look cool.

I like to imagine in this version tho, Sabo just has just So Many Weapons. Just So Many. He will never be caught lackin'

In the first draft i had for Luffy, i gave him a gun, but it just looked... wrong. I think a very important part of him and his crew is that none of them wield guns (except Sanji that one time). I think its especially important they don't because of how so many of them have been traumatized with firearms. Especially Robin.

The design for luffy in the first image is pre-timeskip him, and the one in the third image is his post-timeskip design.

I gave luffy a longer nose and higher cheeks than i usually do to make him look a little more Native American, I felt leaning a little more like his father would be the way to go overall in this case, too. He looks like such a cutie patootie in this version though.... i might have to keep drawing him like this....

i honestly dont have much for this au so far, i just wanted to dress these guys up like little dollies, an impulse that has never been lost on me.

Yandere Sabo Alphabet

Author's Note: I've deadass been off the rig for like, half a year. I'm lowkey sorry, at some point I forgot about this blog. My creepypasta blog kind of became my main and I wasn't watching anime fr, but I got back into One Piece and Sabo has stolen my heart-

Warnings: Emotional Abuse, Mental Abuse, Manipulation, Physical Assault, Guilt Tripping, Rape Mentioned, S/A implied, Deception, Mind Games, Sadism Mentioned, Burning, Injuries, Death, Two Faced Behavior, Jealousy, Amnesia Mentioned, and Being Held Captive.

Links: {Masterlist} {Alphabet Used}

Affection: How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get?

He is very cuddly, I can say that the ASL brothers in general are very touchy people (especially Luffy.)

Since Sabo is often on missions, he doesn't get to see you as much as he'd like to, so when he does see you, he's hugging and kissing you at any chance he can get.

He also loves seeing you in his hat, it's the cutest thing to him.

Blood: How messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling?

The thing is, Sabo is willing to kill for his darling, but I wouldn't say it's messy. I can definitely see Sabo killing a few people while on missions, so I'd say he's pretty clean with it.

Sabo isn't cruel, so he wouldn't kill them infront of you, but he'll definitely make you know that they're dead, and that it was by his hands.

Cruelty: How would they treat their darling once abducted? Would they mock them?

Sabo is scary. He's charming, kind, and chivalrous to the max. He's pretty much every girls dream guy, and when you met him you probably fell for him hard.

Sabo is deranged and unhinged however, but he can hide it extremely well. Once you two started dating and you already went with him to the revolutionary army, that's when his strange behavior starts to slowly surface.

He'd never hit you on purpose, but sometimes his sadism get in the way. He never makes you aware of his true intentions, sometimes he's completely in love with you and your own little golden retriever, doing everything you say with no question, but sometimes when you two fight, he becomes a completely different person. I can see him sharing Ace's temper (despite him being the calmest and nicest brother)

Darling: Aside from abduction, would they do anything against their darling’s will?

He is so manipulative its not even funny. Sabo loved playing mind games with you, he often tells you that you knew that he was like this, but you went with him anyway, so technically it's your fault your in this situation, which couldn't be further from the truth.

Sometimes he hates seeing you cry, but when you cry wuth rage in your eyes, yelling at him about how much he fucks with your head and how you can't even remember what really happened and instead you remember the false memories he told placed in your head, he can't help but chuckle.

Exposed: How much of their heart do they bare to their darling? How vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling?

I don’t see Sabo being vulnerable with you at first. Most of the time he's vulnerable, it's often with Koala because he trustes that woman with his life, and they're pretty much best friends.

But I'd say the first time you saw him vulnerable was when Ace died. He had so many break downs in front of you and all you could do was try and comfort him the best way you could. Times like those really fuck with your head because Sabo is kind of holding you against your will, mentally and emotionally abusing you, and kind of an manipulative asshole, but the times he's genuinely a sweet guy who just wants to make you happy just pop into your mind and you can't help but hug him and tell him it'll be ok and that it wasn't his fault.

Sabo genuinely wants you to be happy, just his method of doing so is fucked up.

Fight: How would they feel if their darling fought back?

It only adds fuel to the fire. Sabo is pretty patient for the most part and often wants your arguments to be as quick as possible. But, if you keep arguing and yelling at him, his patience runs thin, and that's when you see his Ace like temper.

You two could go at for hours, and he'll eventually just erupt into Flames (literally) and end up hurting you. He'd end up feeling terrible because Sabo never wants to hurt you (Physically of course), so he'd just stare at his arm, surrounded in Flames, before looking at your curled up position in the corner of the room, holding your arm as you cried in pain.

So yeah, try not to fight with him.

Game: Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling try to escape?

If you escape, he's panicked. Losing Ace really fucked him up, so you leaving him is his biggest nightmare. If the world government knows about your existence, either as his S/O, or you were part of the revolutionary army before hand, or you were a pirate or something, that only makes his paranoia worse because you most likely have a bounty on your head.

He'd look for you everywhere, that man wouldn't sleep until he found you.

I feel like Sabo has developed a fear of forgetting, so he probably writes down everything that happens to him or other people in a diary of some sorts. So he'd write about each day he looked for you, doing anything he could if there was a rare chance that he would forget you.

Hell: What would be their darling’s worst experience with them?

The two of you got into a really bad fight. Like, the worst one you two had ever had.

You were sick and tired of Sabo's lies, his manipulative behavior, and just all the bullshit he pulled on you. At first he was dismissing you, telling you that you were making a big deal out of such a small issue, but you kept pressing him and telling him to stop down playing his actions.

Eventually he started arguing back and things got even more heated, and when he got too close, you punched him right in the face. When you realize what you did, you slowly started to back up as Sabo placed his hand on his face in shock. You've never hit him before, ever.

He started at you in silence before slowly making his way towards you.

"I-I’m sorry, I didn't mean to..." You say over as over again as you backed yourself into a corner, your hmeyes tearing up as he got closer.

He'd grab both you wrist in one hand, causing you to yelp in pain as you cried further. He only started at you with cold eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... please..." You mumbled, you legs almost giving out as you shoot.

He'd then grab your chin roughly, ans then kiss you. But it wasn't a rough kiss, but a gentle and genuine one. It wasn't like the ones he'd give after not seeing you for weeks on end, but it was different, it was kind. It caught you off guard, why was he so gentle?

But eventually you leaned into it, closing your eyes in the process. He eventually loosened his grip on your wrist, but you didn't feel his hand slowly make it's way to your neck.

"I'm sorry, love..."

Then, his grip tightened as you felt burning sensation on your neck. Before you could scream, Sabo smashed his lips against yours, grabbing the back of your head so you couldn't break away.

Your legs gave out in that moment, and Sabo went down with you. You were practically screaming into his lips, it hurt so fucking bad. So, he shoved his tongue in your mouth as a way to muffle your screams. His hands weren't on fire, but he heated them up so they would burn your neck.

When he pulled his lips back, a long trail of saliva connecting your lips, he quickly covered your mouth as he stared to your pained face.

"I'm sorry," He'd say, wiping the spit away before kissing your tears as you slowly passed out from the pain.

When you wake up in the morning, you don't remember a thing. But when you touch your neck and feel bandages, memories start to flood back to you as you cry into the pillow. Sabo was sent on a mission the same day you woke up, so he was long gone before you woke up. But, he felt fucking awful for what he did.

Ideals: What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling?

World government taken down, his book published, and you two living happily together.

Jealousy: Do they get jealous? Do they lash out or find a way to cope?

Sabo gets jealous a lot easier than he would like to admit.

When he's jealous, he gets a lot more touchy and often makes back handed remarks about said person.

Kisses: How do they act around or with their darling?

When Sabo isn't manipulating you or the two of you a arguing, he's a fucking golden retriever boyfriend. Follows you around, is at your beck and call and will do pretty much anything you want, crazy affectionate, and loves to tease you. If it wasn't for his manipulative and abusive behavior, he pretty much acts like a normal boyfriend.

This also plays a key part on why Sabo is so good at manipulating you. The way he treats you the majority of the time, this kind loving boyfriend, makes you fucking think you're crazy. Like, didn't he guilt trip you into sleeping with him last night? But hey, he gave you the best aftercare of you life, and he got you that jacket you kept looking at when the two of you went shopping. So it wasn't that bad, right?

Love letters: How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?

Sabo would pretty much go up to you and just start being his charming self. Sabo is extremelylikeable, and he'll get you to blush and laugh a few times. Eventually, he'll start sending love letter to you if you're a pirate or a normal citizen, but even if your part of the revolutionary army, he'll still send you little love letters.

He'll get you gifts and even offer to pay for your drinks if you two ever went out for a drink.

I'm telling you, if you're his darling, you fell in love with him before he started to abuse you.

Mask: Are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else?

When he's upset, yes. Sabo can be pretty unhinged when fighting, but that's about it. When the two of you are just living normally, no fighting or anything, he goes back to the Sabo you fell in love with.

Naughty: How would they punish their darling?

Sabo doesn't actively punish his darling. He actually let's you get away with escaping. But, he does get physical when you piss him off, so that's your punishment.

Oppression: How many rights would they take away from their darling?

You can do everything besides escaping, and telling anyone about his abusive behavior. He'd be so fucking pissed if he found out that you told someone.

Patience: How patient are they with their darling?

Very patient. He had to deal with Luffy and Ace growing up. Luffy's energetic, dumb behavior, and Ace's short tempered, rude behavior made him gain a lot of patience, even if he forgot them for many years.

Quit: If their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on?

If you die, its like Ace all over again. He's blaming himself, even if it wasn't his fault.

If you leave and or, escape, he's looking for you. He's not resting until he does.

Regret: Would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? Would they ever let their darling go?

He didn't technically abduct you. If you weren't part of the revolutionary army and a civilian, you moved in with him, and when you tried to leave, that's when you realized you were pretty much a hostage.

If you're a pirate, that's when things get complex because if you're not a captain, that's something he'll have to deal with, but if you are a captain, I can't see you just leaving your crew for your boyfriend. So he'll figure something out.

Stigma: What brought about this side of them (childhood, curiosity, etc)?

I feel like a mixture of trauma and the death of Ace.

Tears: How do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves?

If you scream/cry, he'll try to comfort you the best he can. He wants to see that smile he loves so much.

If you isolate yourself after he was on a mission for weeks on end, he'll be pretty upset. He'll keep asking you what's wrong, and he won't stop bothering you until you tell him.

Unique: Would they do anything different from the classic yandere?

He's a controlling, manipulative yandere, but the amount of freedom and how you can pretty much get him to do whatever you want is kind of crazy. But he isn't stupid or blind, he'll know when you're taking advantage of him immediately, and that's when he shuts things down.

He's revolutionary afterall, he enjoys freedom, and even though he can't give you 100% freedom, or at least just yet, he'll give you the most he can, but not too much to where you'll leave him.

Vice: What weakness can their darling exploit in order to escape?

His overprotectiveness. He's not only overprotective you, but his friends as well, especially Luffy.

It'd be hard to manipulate this, but if you play your cards right, you might be able to get him wrapped around your finger.

Wit’s end: Would they ever hurt their darling?

Yes, but not purposefully.

Xoanon: How much would they revere or worship their darling? To what length would they go to win their darling over?

He kind of worships you, but also kind of doesn't. It's complicated. But he's willing to go hell and back to keep you safe.

Yearn: How long do they pine after their darling before they snap?

As long as it takes. Sabo is willing to wait a long time for you to love him blindly once again, even if it takes years.

Zenith: Would they ever break their darling?

Yes. It wouldn't be on purpose. It could be a punishment taken too far, or just the mental abuse.

[namisweatheria]

I'm sure people have talked about this before BUT I AM thinking about an au where Rouge had a terrifying Devil Fruit power and ridiculously strong Haki (like Boa but... you know. not like that at all thank you.) and managed to have HER OWN ISLAND that The Navy refuses to touch. (Like Boa! Without the Warlord part.)

What if Ace got his good navigational instincts from her, and the island was somewhere basically impossible to get to. (Unless you're a navigational genius.) Which immediately connects it in my mind to a Bell-mere lives au.

Things I'm imagining happening:

-Rouge raising Ace herself on that island

-Garp finding her as he promised he would, and seeing a good opportunity, promptly dropping Luffy off forever

-Sabo sneaking on Garp's ship to get away from his parents, and managing to make it there as it happens to be where Garp is heading next for another quick visit to try to indoctrinate Luffy (and Ace) into The Marines

-ASL brothers again<3

-kid Ace being fucking crazy in an entirely DIFFERENT way. He didn't suffer from living under Roger's shadow (Rouge never even mentions that deadbeat) but he and his mom are very much alone on this island so he goes Insane

-Luffy and Sabo are still the best things to happen to him and slowly make him calm down a lot

-Rouge DOES want to bring more people to the island because obviously she does not want her son to be deranged but it's difficult to trust people when The World Government wants her son dead so badly. Also a nearly-impossible-to-reach incredibly dangerous jungle island is a hard sell. lol

-She is going insane in her own way but she throws herself into raising them well and training them and herself to be as strong as possible, so they can protect each other if the government comes for them

-She definitely knows about Dragon being Luffy's dad, tricking that out of Garp was Not Hard. lmao

-Sabo opens up about his backstory to her eventually too. Someone protect these kids from the damn government!!!!!!!

-In this au, Bell-mere is strong enough to get Nami, Nojiko, and herself out of Coco Village when Arlong takes over, but not strong enough to defeat them and free the village

-She tries to get Navy assistance but is met with bald-faced corruption. Extreme disillusionment follows

-They travel for a few years, Bell-mere always trying to get stronger so they can return and save the village one day.

-Nami studies hard and has plenty of opportunities on the sea to polish her skills as a navigator.

-Nojiko remains deeply hurt and outraged by The Navy's betrayal. Since she was older she had been told many more stories from her mom's time with them, and thus had a much stronger attachment to the idea of them. Being left by The Marines, with her whole community, to suffer and die, shook her entire world. She seeks out people who don't look kindly on The World Government everywhere they go, collecting stories. She has hopes of joining The Revolutionary Army one day

-This is also a Sora lives au. (@ Oda Stop killing all the moms! Let them unionize!) One day on their travels they come across a sickly woman and her two kids, Reiju and Sanji, who are on the run from a mysterious (in the East Blue) Mercenary Army.

-It goes like this: the two groups are in the same diner. Soldiers of Germa 66 bust in and try to grab Sora and her kids. They scream and cry for help. Nearby Marines intervene. This obviously doesn't look good for the Germa soldiers, attempting to kidnap a sickly woman and two young kids in broad daylight. They try to pay off the highest ranking Marine there to look the other way, with an absolutely outrageous sum. It works.

-Nojiko charges. Bell-mere didn't expect her usually cool-headed daughter to do something so reckless, and doesn't realize she'd gotten up until she heard the crash of Nojiko kicking the top Marine in the head. Nami had been paying more attention, and is already primed to hit the same Marine in the back with a diner chair before he can retaliate on Nojiko.

-Despite their training, they're kids, and these are Marines. If Bell-mere wasn't there, it would've been a world of hurt. But Bell-mere of course is right there, and takes down all three Marines before they know what hit them. In the chaos, Reiju takes down both Germa Soldiers with her superior strength.

-Now they're a group, standing in a public place, with a pile of Marines (and Mercenaries) at their feet. Yikes.

-They run together.

-Reiju and Nojiko, both being oldest girls about the same age, recognize each other and bond instantly. They convince their mothers' they'll be stronger together.

-Bell-mere was easy to convince, suffering from survivor's guilt from the occupation of Coco Village, she's very quick to take on other's burdens. Sora, despite feeling an instinctual trust for and deep attraction to this tough butch who saved her life, is much more hesitant. Putting her life and resources in the hands of one very powerful person was what got her into this mess.

-But it's not easy to make Reiju happy, a girl who takes responsibility for both her mother and younger brother, who orchestrated their escape, who defends them physically, who has a childhood of training to repress herself to unlearn. Sora saw Reiju actually laugh with someone other than herself and Sanji, and she can't take this new comrade away from her. Not to mention having another protector in Bell-mere could ease Reiju's burdens. She has to say yes.

-And it's a good thing she does, because the top Marine they knocked out kicks up an absolutely ginormous fuss. Suddenly Bell-mere, Sora, and the kids are wanted criminals with posters strewn everywhere. It takes all their wits and strength combined to survive.

-They're on the run together for years before they make it to Rouge's Island.

-Nami is younger than Sanji, but at this age she's bigger than him, and he's a huge crybaby while she keeps a very brave face. She's utterly delighted to treat him like a little brother, much to his annoyance. "I'm not the youngest anymore!" "Yes you are! Stop it!" "You can't be bigger than me when you're such a baby." "I'm a baby?! I saw you get scared too!" "No you didn't! Shut up!" They get very competitive.

-Reiju and Nojiko have the kind of weird little girl best friendship that has the intensity and power to destroy worlds. They are on levels of telepathic connection previously unheard of. And they are so serious about it and so fucking goofy. The SCHEMES they get up to.... And of course constantly being made to drag their little siblings along for the ride

-Picture this. They've been docked at the same island for a couple weeks. They're having an easy time, they've just gotten comfortable with a good doctor for Sora and a nice place to stay for a bit. The kids see a Marine Ship out sailing nearby while they're playing on the beach. If they tell their moms, they're sure to pack up and leave immediately. Of course the answer is to scare off the Navy ship themselves with a fake sea monster.

-Yes it's the end of the world if this mission fails. They'll have failed their families, and the concepts of bravery and justice, and they'll all die and get killed and never join the resistance or anything ever. Yes this fake sea monster needs to have extra whiskers.

-So serious. SO GOOFY.

-Meanwhile their moms are having the most repressed intense butch-femme erotic slow-burn romance of all time in the background.

-Bell-mere, in her head: How much of this is coming from my fucked-up desire to save people? Am I fetishizing her weakness? What's wrong with me? If I have to see the glow of her soft skin, shiny with the sweat of illness, peeking out from beneath her long dress one more time I am going to faint and die.

-Sora, in her head: How much of this is coming from my fucked-up desire to be saved? Am I fetishizing her strength? Do I just want to give up responsibility so badly? Am I appreciating her as a person or do I just want what she can give me? If I hear her loud laugh of victory after buying food for what barely counts as a bargain one more time I'm simply going to explode with love and desire.

None of the kids notice this at all even a little bit.

-Of course with Nojiko's story-gathering and Nami's navigational genius, and the Marines still hot on their tail, and Sora and Bell-mere's desire to find a place to finally stop for the sake of their kids, they do eventually make their way to Rouge's island.

-Rouge, at this point deeply deranged with isolation, fear for her sons, and suspicion, does not greet them well.

-Bell-mere does not take no for an answer.

-Their fight leaves a giant crater in the side of the island. It lasts for days, and only ends because while they were distracted all their kids did an enemies-to-best friends speedrun.

-Lead of course by Luffy, who despite loyalty to Rouge and natural suspicion of her apparent enemies, has little willpower against the smell of Sanji's cooking. His completely earnest undignified begging by the campfire endears him to the others, as well as his heartfelt thanks, and their kind and patient treatment of him endears them to his older brothers.

-Also they're all lonely as hell so it truly does not take much. They're running around the jungle, being given a tour of the best spots on the island by the ASL brothers FOR LITERALLY HOURS before at the same exact moment Reiju, Nojiko, and Sabo all go Oh Shit We Should Probably Stop Our Moms From Killing Each Other.

-Lol.

-I have other ideas involving Robin, and I want to save Banchina (Usopp's mom) as well. I think what this au needs is a doctor character. Someone Rouge trusts to help her give birth, who is also an enemy of the world government, who can stay on the island with them. Who can treat Sora when they arrive. (Treat not heal, her being chronically ill and disabled is important to me.) But I can't think of anyone who isn't needed elsewhere.... I guess I have to make them up....

[randomrando767]

I wanted to make a mythical animals au

Luffy and Nami are dragons. Zoro and Robin are demons, Kunia is a ghost. Sanji's a wendigo, and I mean the distorted human wendigo not the deer one. Usopps a fea, chopper is a chimera, Franky, Brook, and Jimbe are themselves.

When I say dragons I mean humans with wings who can turn in dragons.

I imagine Garp and Dragon would be angels, they didn't fully know why Luffy was a dragon when he was born, they still don't. Luffy is a mildly angelic looking dragon and Crocodile Luffy's mother is a reptile human so that's their best guess why he ended up an entirely different species.

Ace is a kitsune, I will not explain. Sabo's a skin walker because he's already deranged in cannon. Shanks is a Griffen because that's the name of his sword.

Now you may be wondering wether Nami ever tries to fight Arlong cause now she a fucking dragon, she doesn't, she can create electricity and float now but she never even considers fighting him.

Most people have human forms with a few characteristics of their spieces.

[xamaxenta]

Yknow what I go feral over? Ace tenderly kissing the edges of Sabo’s burn scars and worshipping them out of pure guilt because he blames himself for Sabo’s incident and because he ate the Mera Mera and there's just something demented and perfect about Ace being what destroyed Sabo and permanently marked him, being what Sabo fears most while simultaneously being the only thing he could ever love.

Yeah this is what fucks so hard for ABO imo, Alpha Ace Omega Sabo specifically

Ace is furious with himself that he couldn’t save Sabo, much less protect him and he just keeps blaming himself so much that Sabo in the throes of a particularly deranged heat hes like then do something

Mark me burn me i can take it im yours please please if this will stop you from killing yourself inside please

And Ace ignites, its terrifying, Sabo hasnt screamed like this since the last time he burned alive

Ace curls around him afterwards, distraught at what hes done but Sabo doesnt care or blame him, cherishes the immolation

If its Ace its ok, its not tbh but to them its the best course of action bc theyre fucked up and need therapy but its ok theyre in love 🥰

[eternalreverie-sabostan]

Here some little head cannons I have about sabo

Warnings: 18+ these are nsfw headcanons

SABO

He enjoys watching you squirm wether he has to tease you , cockwarm, or pound into you with you in full view of everyone he will just to see that look in your eyes

Man's is an exhibitionist with a possessive streak he wants everyone to know just how much you belong to him

Dosnt matter the time or the place he will fuck you be it a marine base, closet , alley way, bar, bathroom, office, anywhere unorthodox he will have your leg on his shoulder pounding into you right then and there

He will leave marks in every visible spot possible and will show pride in it if you wanna do the same gods above he will love you for it he is yours just as much as you are his he love having evidence

This man will go from feral in the sheets to have the best fuckong aftercare ever he loves you no matter how deranged he might be in bed and when it comes to fighting he will make sure you know you are loved after several rounds he will clean you up clean the bed (if that was where yall did it) dress you in the comfiest clothes dress any wounds you may have gotten get you water snacks whisper to you how well you did and how proud he is of you as he wraps you in a blanket and tucks you against his chest as he runs his fingers through your hair and peppers you head with light loving kisses till you fall asleep the next morning he will have breakfast and pain killers ready for you

And that's all for my first head cannons post please lemme know how I did lol

[hedgehogcryptid]

lately my brain has been cobbling together the most random crossovers imaginable

Like “you know who would apreciate Sabo in all his deranged revolutionary glory? Zabuza. Zabuza would apreciate a feral bastard with a thing for hitting government officials with a steel pipe”

But the wildest crossover that came to me due to a series of unforeseen events* was Golden Kamuy/Kimetsu no Yaiba and like,,, it was weirdly appealing? The thought of Tanjiro walking around the 7th and being absolutely nauseated by the smell of lies and treachery, all centered on Tsurumi. He would be instantly disgusted by him and the thought of that was great. Because as much as he is a nice boy he has a very strong sense of duty and justice and Tsurumi shits on those principles on a daily basis. I’m pretty sure Tanjiro would consider killing him (I mean, come on, the boy threw an axe at Giyu’s head the momment he realized mercy wasn’t an option, he’s not squeamish, never was. And Tsurumi has ruined many people’s lives, twisted their hearts to fit his goals. Tanjiro would hate him).

And like, the thought of the group who goes to Abashiri finding this precious child in the middle of the woods. A kind, dutiful, responsible kid that remained good after suffering such terrible loss. Sugimoto would be all over that shit. Doing his best to make sure no further suffering comes over him, turning into a mushy pile of feelings when he’s thanked for his efforts. And as good as Tanjiro is, as pure and innocent as people perceive him to be, he isn’t easily impresed by blood and injury. He can get angry or sad at what it means (people dying and suffering) but he’s no longer impressed by the carnage itself. Sugimoto justifiably losing his shit? Probably wouldn’t rattle him all that much, Tanjiro understands wanting to protect someone at all costs. I can imagine him in the aftermath, being worried about Sugimoto’s feelings rather than his violence.

He’d become Shiraishi’s new patron saint, what with being praised/thanked every time he does something right or helpful, and not being made fun of for being stupid or scared or hurt.

And Ogata, jesus fuck. This asshole bastard man who’s main problem is that he can’t understand his own emotions meeting the dude who can smell feelings. Who also has a tendency to validate those feelings. Tanjiro would feel for Ogata’s guilt and his loneliness, even while being perfectly aware that they’re being lied to. But even so, Ogata is helpful, in the meantime, and he has a politeness about him (unless you are Sugimoto). Even if he’s distant, he tends to be quiet and not unnecesarily rude unless he’s being purposefully antagonizing. And Tanjiro can’t be antagonized, as Inosuke discovered, so i think they could get along. And Tanjiro would break Ogata’s brain. Because he wants kind people to tarnish, to prove that they’re not so different from him, but Tanjiro is kind while able to kill, and even kind to those he kills. And he’d show Ogata honest kindness and respect that isn’t naive. Asirpa is kind to him only while she thinks he’s more or less good. Tanjiro could smell the blood and the lies and the resentment and still respect him no problem, without expecting anything in return. (and even if he thinks he has to kill the sunshine child to get rid of the complicated emotions he gets from it, he’d still be pretty much aware that Tanjiro is also esentially a mutant that can probably dodge bullets. So it’s most likely not worth the effort to try)

*those events being that I watched those series back to back with my mother . I watched golden kamuy with my mother

the note I added to a plot document for arc 6, featuring feral bastard sabo who cannot articulate his feels and slightly suicidal marco:

Interlude chapter during the period where they’re figuring shit out: Sabo, extremely pissed at Marco about Marco’s self-sacrificial and self-martyring shit, makes a comment about how “normally when I have a problem as stubborn as you, I’m able to just beat it’s face in until it stops moving but I don’t even get that satisfaction with you!” “You could if you weren’t a coward.” which results in a fight where an enraged Sabo bashes Marco’s skull in with a pipe. Stunned and terrified of himself, Sabo watches Marco’s head burst into flames before he gets up and “feel better now?” “No, you fucking asshole, I feel worse actually!” and they end up hugging it out. Ace, watching from the window, just shakes his head. Followed up by all three cuddling sabo in the middle in bed and Marco apologizing for making Sabo do that, and sabo trying to express that marco didn’t make him do shit. It goes nowhere until ace tells them to just shut up they’ll sort it out in the morning. Might result in a second fight where sabo shoots marco through the eye (because I love the look of marco’s flaming eye) (instead of blood and viscera, it’s just flames and feathers, marco’s awakened fruit refusing to submit to death, marco staggered back briefly by the impact then leaning forward again with his burning eye and the back of his head erupting in flames and feathers. Marco blinks away the fire). Sabo breaks down, sobbing about Marco being too forgiving, how he shouldn’t tolerate this kind of treatment from someone he loves, etc. Marco hugs him through it and tells sabo it’s okay and to talk to ace. Later, ace explains that sabo loving marco too doesn’t diminish what they have together (and, in fact, probably just expands it because why wouldn’t they share everything anyway? Marco’s down for it, even if they have to beat some sense into him first about giving up his place for sabo instead of just letting sabo in the same way he’s let ace in)

This makes me WUWUEUE so hard like youre right this deranged feral sabo is thee best and i really cant wait to see how you will write him bc this is super emotional and everyone’s realllyyy keyed up

I loooove how Sabo would react like hair trigger almost and instantly regret what he’s done, feel sick to his stomach as Marco revives, easily imagining him with a sickly complexion and a pinched expression like why would you fucking say shit like that

And Sabo gets to be in the middle!!! To feel Ace and Marco like , talk about the most complicated emotional sandwich, i enjoy the concept of Marco and sabo facing each other and bickering in circles and Ace headbutts Sabo from behind like fucks sake shut the fuck up both of you please and they do bc Ace needs rest 🥹

Sabo for that second fight essentially unwillingly? Using marco as an emotional punching bag is SO GOURMET as is the always fantastic flaming eye aesthetic Marco often gets depicted with its sexy even tho the content and reason for this flaming eye isnt so sexy hah

And that last bit where where

Giving up his space place by Aces side so Sabo can take it is legit thee delicacy that is MAS its not about Marco letting Sabo take his place its about letting him in its not about favourites or replacements or replacing people Ace cares about or people Sabo or Marco care about its about opening up the love they share aaaa AA

I love your sabo stuff and seeing your takes on his (non existent) morality is great but seeing it makes me so sad there’ll never be a full cannon asl reunion so ace can in fact realize he’s the sane and domesticated one. That it was in fact sabo that became the deranged demon spawn not him the literal son of the ‘devil’. Oda robbed us

I really have to agree. Many a tears have been shed over this trio from my eyes in the past over this very revelation.

In my headcanon, sabo’s always been teetering on insanity throughout his life with amnesia. In the flashback we get when he’s revealing how he got his memory back, we see him being impulsive and reckless by charging into that fortress, taking it down, and having fun while doing so. Those signs were showing, but they werent much of a problem before he got his memories back.

I think that in that moment of realization for him, as its all coming back to him while finding out his brother was dead, there was a part of his heart that did grow. His heart grew because he remembered that he has two amazing brothers who he was so close with… And then that heart was promptly ripped out and stomped on because the world had taken away one of them.

To quote SAO abridged, His heart grew three sizes that day! Then immediately shrank six. Imploding into a black hole from which no love could escape.

From Ace, to Kuma, to countless countries torn into ruin, all because of the world government. The world is so, so cruel. He probably feels like he cant love anything anymore. And that. That is where he goes from “probably insane” to Definitively insane.

But theres been one hope for him. One lone solace that has kept him from completely giving up fighting. A man who he will continue pushing for a better world for. Because if he doesn’t keep fighting for this better world, then That Man wont be King of the Pirates in a free enough world.

That’s all the ASL trio ever wanted. Freedom. And it was stolen from them time after time after time.

Sorry for the rant, i am uhhhhhh very passionate about these three. I actually like Ace the best, but i just cant bring myself to draw him or consume content with him(besides his part in Alabasta) because it makes me so sad. I am… fragile 😔….

Thanks for the ask! Lmk what you’d like to see in the future! 🫶
