Thoughts on Sanji enjoying feminine things?

short thoughts: i love it and think he should do it more often esp because i feel like he definitely does in canon and just won't actually let himself do so. i don't draw him in drag all the time for no reason

long thoughts: [breathes in]

i could write an entire essay on sanji's character in terms of femininity, queerness, and misogny BUT we don't have time for all that so let's just focus on the fact i feel like there's actual evidence he enjoys traditionally non-masculine things and oda actually puts him in situations to highlight this pretty frequently

-i am guilty of calling sanji a metrosexual . it's a stupid word but it fits him. he's the only guy on the ship that showers every day and the only other ppl on the ship who do this are the two girls. man also wears suits like mad and has a fairly...daring fashion sense outside of that (granted, most ppl in one piece do.) but he just cares about these things more than most guys! and that doesn't even seem like something that came from his upbringing at baratie bc...no one else dressed like that. he just does that himself. i also can't stop thinking about the sbs where someone suggested sanji would be a stylist in real life and oda went "yes agreed"

-the kamabakka moment...okay terribly offensive and transmisogynistic (won't get into it bc i have several times before) BUT if we can take one thing from that it's that sanji *did* dress up in makeup and a dress and like. frolic with the okama. it's framed as "against his will" but he definitely could have torn that shit off quickly and easily enough, yet oda decided to imply sanji enjoyed it for at least a time before he chickened back out and called the place hell for 2 years. yea, it was probably for oda's idea of 'comedic effect' but this is, once again, one piece. sometimes the humor is part of the plot. sometimes very real information is given through the guise of humor. going off of this u could mention that (also offensive but meant to be funny) joke with the blood donation scene from fishman island

-idk just something about the way oda writes him fighting lots of queer or non-conventionally masculine characters. i feel like it says something about sanji having his own internal struggle about his masculinity- which we know must be true bc of his whole list of virtues he never breaks a la women because of his upbringing with good ol' fashioned zeff and uh. "men should be war machines" germa over here. he fights bon clay and queen for christ sake.

-the scene where he's like happy as a clam to be in nami's body in punk hazard is another comedy gag that's also a little . interesting. I could say oda just keeps accidentally coding him but I feel like oda's very intentionally with his characterization and the subtlety of it

-overall he's just clearly so interested in masculinity since zeff raised him to be that way and he holds zeff in such high regards in combination with his background with germa, his mother and his sister, leading to a I Have To Be A Perfect Gentlemen And Also Respect Women by Putting Them On the Highest of Pedestals. and this in turn has made him reluctant to engage with femininity in any way that could be perceived as Not fitting this manly persona he's made for himself, yet he keeps getting put up against it in various small moments in the series whether comedic or not. I don't think oda frames sanji's relationship with masculinity entirely as a character flaw or weakness to be fixed, bc oda seems to respect sanji's views/they align with oda's own views. BUT I do think he knows it's partially susceptible to change and....he makes Sanji encounter these things so often for a reason. does that make sense?

in my ideal world sanji 20 years in the future is a bit more feminine even if he's still a casanova ladies man. like he accepted the okama influence in his life, he's just more quiet about it, lmao. I mean did u see his hair for oda's 40 yr old design

so yeah. he does, I think. quietly and deep down.

how did you first get into phil ochs

one of my very good friends from high school was really into phil and he was the one that first introduced me to his stuff! i knew who he was growing up through a few of his more commercially successful songs (namely “changes” and “there but for fortune”) and his connections to pete seeger, bob dylan, joan baez, and other artists from the sixties folk scene, but wasn't super familiar with his other work. i think that i first was drawn in by the beautiful lyricism and production on pleasures of the harbor and then realized how impactful his topical songwriting was and went back into the rest of his catalogue. cut to over years later, i’m finishing up my chapter of my dissertation on phil’s work! so wild how things can create such an impact on your political social and artistic consciousness with such amazing ripples across time

summer blurbs masterlist + prompts | misc. masterlist

There’s nothing like the smell of salt in the air, the taste of a fruity cocktail on your lips. Or the summer sun– especially as it soaks into your skin as you lounge on the deck of you and Frankie’s boat. When Frankie told you today was clear skies and under 80 degrees, there was only one thing that popped into your mind as you rubbed the sleep from your eyes. Not even an hour later, the two of you were packed up for a day on the water.

Frankie comes to lay beside you with a content sigh, leaning over to press a kiss to your warm shoulder before stretching out like a cat.

You open your eyes, squinting from the light as you look over at him, “Did you apply sunscreen?”

“You saw me apply this morning, sweet girl,” He says matter of factly, taking his cap off and placing it over his face.

With a sly grin, you snatch the hat from his face, jumping up immediately so he’s unable to grab it from you. “You’re supposed to reapply, especially if you’re gonna be in the sun like this.”

Frankie’s brow furrows as his squints up at you, and though the look on his face is one of no patience, you can hear the mirth in voice as he speaks, “I’ll reapply when you give me back my hat.”

“Oh, you’re gonna have catch me to get this, baby,” You tilt your head at him in challenge, twirling the hate on your finger.

There’s stillness for several moments, nothing but the soft jostle of the boat in waves as the two of you stare each other down. You know that he’ll catch you– he’s Frankie, a veteran– but that’s the fun of it. Being caught in Frankie’s arms is something you’d never tire of. He’s up on his feet in a flash and you squeal, running towards the opposite end of the boat.

Its an accident, the way your feet get tangled in the net, but its enough to send you wobbling over the side, the belly laughs that were leaving you morphing into a shriek that makes Frankie’s blood curl. He jumps in after you immediately, his body going into that mode that doesn’t let him panic or pause– just act. You’ve risen to the surface rather quickly, sputtering for breath and reaching for Frankie as soon as he’s in your sights.

You didn’t fall far so the swim back to the boat’s latter is short but deathly quiet. He helps you up it first before following you and sitting you both down. He assess you in silence, turning your face and limbs this way and that way.

“Never scare me like that again,” He isn’t yelling but there’s a bite to his words, a finality that makes it clear this isn’t up for debate.

Now that the adrenaline is leaving your system you can see the fear in his eyes– they’re a bit glazed over in that way that lets you know his past his haunting him.

“I’m sorry, baby,” You lean in, brushing your lips against his. “I am, really. I went too far. It won’t happen again,” You assure him when his eyes narrow with skepticism.

“I don’t know what I’d do without you,” He says honestly, it pulls at your heart.

“You don’t have to know, I’ll always be right here. I promise.”

Frankie stays quiet, but pulls you close, smooshing his cheek to the top of your head. You hug him back, inhaling deeply to take in his calming scent.

After sitting there for a handful of minutes you hope to lighten the mood, leaning back to say, “You know…you still need to reapply.”

“Oh, hush, lets get you dry,” He hauls you up and over his shoulder.

You give his ass a slap as he walks towards the cabin, and the genuine laugh he gives out lets you know that all is forgiven. Crisis averted.

Still terrible at coming up with titles and names but I'll give it a shot for the game:

The Midnight Kiss

@musings-of-a-rose! Thank you for the idea! Ooh okay. Midnight makes me think of either a late-night tryst, or a New Year's Eve kiss, so we're going with the latter. And my Pedro boy of choice for this? Frankie.

Fresh off the dissolution of your 7 year relationship, your best friend Amy drags you out to arguably the worst place to be a newly-single person (in your opinion): a bar in Florida on New Year's Eve. As the countdown starts, you sink further into your misery, until a scruffy, fluffy, devastatingly handsome stranger pulls you in for the sweetest kiss just as the clock strikes midnight. Before you can even strike up a conversation, his rowdy drunken friends sweep him out of the bar and into the street, and all you exchanged were your names and flashed smiles.

And then you never see him again.

That is, until now. Two years later, standing in a San Antonio grocery store, you couldn't believe your eyes as they land on the dark-haired mystery man you've never been able to get out of your mind. Frankie, in the flesh, looking just as handsome as ever. He turns to you, and it's then that you notice the shadows in his deep amber eyes.

Could a fateful midnight kiss turn into something more? Will you fight against your inner demons to capture a chance at happiness? Will Frankie finally reveal to you what's haunting him?

Ask game: send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

[harmonytheme]

Spoilers say Frankie will seek comfort in her friendship with Lucas so we’re getting our besties back!!!

I’m so glad!!!! 😭 I really want them to support each other because there are not enough close youth friendships on the show at the moment (especially knowing Ela-May is leaving and we’re about to lose her friendship with Vicky 😞). Plus I really adore platonic bonds between male and female characters where there’s no romance involved bc they just aren’t shown enough on TV!! This is such a good opportunity to showcase that kind of friendship 🥺

[utterdrip]

hi friend it’s if you break up with him after hes ascended:)

#starry comp for more♡

[bitchesuntitled]

DD! It's Catfish Day! I have a question for you: Frankie's Fight Night Jeans or his Mission Khakis? Which is a better look?

(also I think you are brave and wonderful and I am so glad that our paths crossed here)

I love both looks but there’s just something about the khakis 🫠

They just seem to accentuate a certain thing…

Just something about the khakis get to me…

Whatever that could be… 👀🤣

Awww, thank you! 🥰 I’m very glad our paths have crossed as well ❤️❤️❤️

for the WIP game: Untitled Franky/Sanji :) <3

This was a nice surprise in my inbox! I wasn't expecting any more asks from this game, and definitely not about my super (heh) rare pair! 🥰

This one started from my obsession over, who I call in my head, "the sea train gang" i.e. Usopp, Franky, Sanji and Robin and how these four might have a unique friendship and dynamic with each other because of that shared intense experience of all been thrown together on the sea train back in Water 7. There's just a lot of fun angles to explore there, and for some of them, it's their first introduction to one another. There's all this drama with Usopp having just left the crew, Franky being an enemy-turned-ally, Sanji with his saviour complex and Robin refusing to be saved... it's interesting!

With the more obvious bonds of Usopp&Sanji, Franky&Usopp, Usopp&Robin, Robin&Sanji and Franky&Robin... I started thinking more about Franky&Sanji and how their specific relationship/dynamic would work. This WIP was the result haha! I think they'd bond over that shared drive of needing to keep busy and their passion for their crafts (building and cooking). I feel like they both do it for the pure joy of it, but also because they like creating things for others. It's how they provide, it's how they show their love.

Also, I grew obsessed with the idea that just one of Franky's hands could very easily fit around Sanji's whole waist and well...
