Losing my mind rn trying to find the actual Japanese name for Zoro's robe post timeskip and I'm very tempted to conclude that it's either not Japanese or Oda simply invented this item of clothing because WHAT THE HECK IS IT?? It's similar to a kimono but those generally have more layers and coverage, and also the haramaki is worn outside them but Zoro wears his on the inside fsr. It's also not a gi top because those are shorter and worn with pants/hakama. It seems slightly closer to a yukata (kimono but looser, more casual, originated from a bathrobe) but even those seem to be worn fully crossed over in the front whereas Zoro's is just hanging open. I would say it's a yukata and Zoro just wears it weirdly because he's Like That,,, except that his has hooked buttons. Which are on,,,,, none of these pieces of clothing. Kimono, yukata, and gi are held in place with the haramaki and obi or other sash belt and I can't find a single image of one with buttons or anything of the sort. The more I look at his robe the more of a monstrosity it becomes to me. WHAT IS THAT THANG.

i imagine it's quite chilly in the black sea (for the lack of sun and color), so they're wearing slightly warmer clothes now uwu

So after I finished OPLA I watched The Little Mermaid a few days later and this occurred to me

One fateful night we brainstormed about One Piece (very zosan) Arcane au with @bidisastersanji (bless your beautiful mind) and ended up hallucinating about badass dyke Vi!Zoro with hextech energy swords 👀

(EDIT) Added the au link above!

Book Haul & Library Catalogue

Sooo we have maybe acquired a lot of books this week? Between existing pre-orders, Pango (we sell our used books to fund MORE books), and my unfortunate recent discovery of some really cool book boxes, we had a higher than usual (I hope, we've only just started keeping track) number of books arrive this week, bringing the total number of books currently in our home library up to 1,372 books in our very tiny NYC apartment.

I went full prep mode during our recent acquisition of new bookshelves and made us a home library spreadsheet. We managed to catalogue all our books over one very busy weekend. If anyone is interested, I'm thinking of making a free home library spreadsheet template available. Since we just went through literally all of our books, Nic has listed a TON on Pango super cheap so check that out if you are interested in picking up some inexpensive used books.

Here are all of our new acquisitions! Many of these are gems from @rainbowcrate. I am SO sad I haven't been able to find a resale on their edition of Mercy because I already started reading it and it's pretty good so far. I am really excited that I got off their waitlist for their August R.A.D. box because I LOVE high spice queer romance.

Also featured here is Gabe's rebind of Chalice by Robin McKinley. We'll have detail shots of the full rebound book posted soon, but this is a little sneak peak since it's completed and therefore technically entered into our library collection this week.

You can find links in our pinned post to our Pango and Storygraph accounts if you are interested in buying used books or reading our book reviews. We are still a very new blog, so please also consider giving us a follow if you want to see more of our book thoughts and nerdy designs. We are also working on starting a tiktok account mostly devoted to book reviews, so stay tuned!
