Hiiii I was wondering if perhaps you could write a similar fluffy drabble to the “Oh to be loved by Sanji” but instead it’s Zoro… you characterize everyone so well and your writing is delicious, tysm!!!
"𝙾𝚑 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎 𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚢 𝚉𝚘𝚛𝚘"
─── ✱*.。:。✱*.:。✧*.。✰*.:。✧*.。:。*.。✱ ───
-> Roronoa Zoro x reader
-> Warnings: n/a
-> Word count: 429
-> wehehehehhee thank youuuuuuuu!!! I always try my best with characterizations, and Zoro is. so yummy. I wanna eat him.
─── ✱*.。:。✱*.:。✧*.。✰*.:。✧*.。:。*.。✱ ───
Zoro is almost like a dog.
Without any orders, he follows you around almost everywhere you go, yet not breathing down your neck.
No.
He’s just… there.
Simply because he likes being near you.
Zoro is a greedy man, so any time he can soak up your presence, he’ll take it.
Oh, to be loved by Zoro.
His greed is a bleeding artery; never able to slow down.
It bleeds for his crewmates, those he loves, and you.
When he thinks about his loved ones- those he has shared food, sake, and laughs with- people who he breathes for, it makes his heart hurt.
The ache is neverending, and no matter what he does, it will not stop.
A bottomless stomach: always hungry, neverending its tantrum.
However, Zoro does not ignore that yearning. Rather, he embraces it.
So, any chance he gets, he consumes your being.
In the same room, he’s cuddling with you; on the deck, if he’s not training, Zoro is by your side; at the dinner room, he makes sure he’s sitting right next to you.
It is so he can spend as much time as he can with you. Neither of you have to talk, you just have to be near each other for his hunger to be temporarily satisfied.
During those moments, he makes sure you are safe and okay. If he notices anything amiss, he will pounce on it like a vulture to dead meat, asking you what’s wrong. Almost anything you need of him, he will complete without a moment’s hesitation, the man greedy for your approval.
His greed is exemplary of his love.
He knows you can take care of yourself, that you’re strong without him, but his lingering, his devotion is out of pure desire, not necessity.
Oh, to be loved by Zoro.
His love is quiet, but not without impact.
Words murmured in night-enveloped times, gazes of eternal adoration presented to you, and hands of longing gentleness.
When he kisses you, he makes sure to put his all into it.
Emotions he cannot put into thought are expressed within that kiss, unspoken loyalty poured into that simple action.
Full of sweetness, but never short.
Zoro refuses for his kisses to be short.
They are long, drawn-out, more important than air. The mere seconds spent kissing you feel more like minutes, the man taking his time to communicate his deep affections for you.
Anything less than that, is shameful to him.
He refuses to give any chopped-up efforts to the person he loves most.
Oh, to be loved by Zoro.

I never said I didn't want him, just that I can't have him
#codywan#star wars#digital art#cody's going to be pissed about having to retake the 'don't touch sith artifacts' seminar#its not his fault that it rolled off the shelf directly into his hands#i think that ancient sith would find cody's loyalty and devotion deliciously intriguing#especially if it gives them the opportunity to poke at a young jedi's emotional sore spots

rotating this fucked up cat in my head like a rotisserie chicken
#my art#cotl#cotl narinder#i was ruminating on the robes that the followers wear in game#and i thought it was interesting that high loyalty followers have a third eye stitched onto their hoods#because like on narinder this eye would go right where his actual third eye is#so are the robes made in the image of the red crown? or of him?#well even if the eye was a reference to the appearance of the one who waits. the followers prob think its the crown's eye#something to be said about how there is no imagery of the one who waits in the cult supposedly made to worship him#like babygirl i dont think thats great planning for ensuring this cult remains devoted to you. look whats happened now#ANYWAYS the robes are a little bit of his getup from the veil and a little bit high loyalty follower robes#and also a little bit inversion of the lamb's fleece#the bell is also a ref to lamby's get up ofc#but also its to stop narinder from scaring the shit out of followers. its not working

What if we kissed on top of the shadow siege gas canisters? (and we were komandir and right hand man - unbending, unbreaking fire of your cause..)
(the warzone monologue got to me ok.)
#vladimir makarov#andrei nolan#makalan#call of duty#fanart#cod#call of duty modern warfare 3#cod mw3#modern warfare#makarov cod#nolan cod#listen its about devotion and loyalty

maybe it's how luffy's love for zoro is more subtle in the animanga (even if it's everpresent), and people usually more point out zoro's devotion to luffy than how luffy cares for him., that the live action show really went and made luffy say to zoro: I need you. It's so simple, I need you. to instantly get across just how important zoro is to luffy
#bc its so simple to both versions of luffy!!#just thinking about soft zolu and their love for each other ;-;#zolu#one piece#the opla “i need you” is just rlly nice to hear#and zoro takes it so much to his heart. makes it his whole personality afterwards#(not rlly but you know. from like devotion lvl 50 to lvl 1000 in the span of those words)#animanga zoro immediately saw luffy as his captain in the chapter they won their first fight together#already accepting this would be their future and all his insane amount of loyalty and trust were there almost immediately#and the live action took it slower with showing luffy how he needs his first mate to be by his side#otherwise he can't properly function! they weren't a complete team when zoro was healing#why are they so much of all this?? ;-;#mine#gif:zolu#gif:writing#gif:opla

Izzy Hands can have a little "thinking hes incapable of feeling love" as a treat (for me. the treat is for me)
#thinking about arospec izzy again#who experiences love in a way thats so fundamentally different to the way everyone says it should be#that he convinces himself that this couldnt possibly be it#and hes never felt anything remotely affectionate for any other person anyway#so surely hes incapable of it#(and actually itd be cool if he was. love that)#(but also itd be cool if someone did come along and he had to contend with the idea that he can love. its just different)#(hes never going to experience the kinds of love that stedes stories are about. hes always going to be sudden & intense & uncontrollable)#(something he never considers until he does and then its all he knows. and he doesnt express it right because its not the same)#(but oh boy he loves. oh does he love)#anyway. arospec izzy hands thank you for coming to my tag talk#nyxtalks#ofmd#our flag means death#izzy hands#israel hands#arospec#aromantic#aromantic izzy hands#i suppose this is not exclusive to arospec headcanons but like. abnormal love dude. its so aro to me#(i am aro)#i think its so cool and fun and sexy when characters love in ways that dont look like a fairytale#when its devotion and loyalty and belonging (to someone) but never holding your hand or tender kissing#but always bringing you a cup of tea. knowing what you need before you do#love can be many things in fact#but when you spend a life being told its one thing#wont you think youre incapable? at least for a bit?

I want what they have
#star trek tos#thinking about how i've never experienced a love like the t'hy'la bond and i'll never get to mind meld and fuck off pls#i crave star trek romance#the honour and devotion and loyalty...#connecting across fundamental barriers#and the shared hobbies of it all#science and books and darts and chess and stupid holodeck games#nobody is doing it like star trek characters are#🍂#need someone who i would blow up the enterprise for#knowing they'd do the same for me in a heartbeat#when spock said “i have been and always shall be yours” i felt that#its that they dont just love each other#they LIKE each other#they enjoy each others company#and they indulge each other#its just so sweet

#persona 4#p4#persona 4 golden#p4g#hanamura yosuke#yosuke hanamura#this scene gets to me because it reveals how a lot of yosuke's talk about getting a gf or meeting a girl and all of that is just... talk#on the one hand it's atlus needing the best friend character to fill that role of “lets check out girls!”#on the other hand it also reads to me as another facade of yosuke's struggle to meet his idealised conception of an average teenage boy#see it's funny because even in the first instance the role is always a bit deeper than it is#slight spoilers for p3 and p5!!!#but in junpei's case regardless of his flirtations he doesnt actually reciprocate or is even a potential LI for femmc#in ryuji's case when ann turns on the charm and offers to go on a date with him he tells her off and says that she should be like herself#i think that theres always a surprising level of nuance to be found with that skirt-chasing stereotype atlus likes to give us#i think yosuke's narrative here quite closely parallels junpei's in that theyre actually super devoted people#and yosuke has found an attachment to saki in the way junpei had with chidori so of course hes not willing to compromise on it#its such a mixed thing because even though he knew saki's kindness to him was probably faked yosuke's loyalty to her was already set#yosuke strikes me as the type of person that if youre nice to him once he'll follow you for life#i love that nanako was the one that responded to yosuke with like “oh like homework?” and yosuke gently plays along#its evocative of his tendency to shoot his mouth off only to quickly cover it up with a joke#but yu is there in the room as well listening and empathising and i think it was a moment that really#revealed to us (and yu) yosuke's underlying motivations and beliefs#even if it was sandwiched between the moment of yosuke trying to look at yu's prn#or perhaps especially because it was sandwiched between that moment the juxtaposition becomes more salient#that such talk from yosuke functions as a distraction from the anguish and ennui he feels about losing saki#he's good with his queue

Finally did a proper set of these for my girl and her boys <3
Breaker of Chains is her official title within the githyanki, first spoken by Kith'rak Voss. Dread Eye is what she was known as in her past under Nezarr. And Adilshar is for Voss' tongue only.

when ppl are like "theres no heterosexual explanation for this" im like... have yall ever had friends?? even if its for ships that i really like im like... i would do that for my best friend, i have friends that i cuddle with and hold hands with and that i would 100% take a bullet for. bc i love them. and not everyone has to be THAT ride or die for their friends but i think its a little sad how little we tend to prioritize friendship and instead search for everything to be romantic
#fandom#this is about zosan and zolu lmao#dont get me wrong i ship them both#and i also like the ship dynamic of all three of them together#however i still think its a little sad to see people put so little stock into friendships#especially in the context of thriller bark#devotion and loyalty can come from friendship too#and i think it takes away from a lot of ship dynamics and interesting textual readings of characters#when all we focus on is romance

the endless curse of being utterly uninterested in romance in fandom spaces
#one (1) ship im interested in and its being overshadowed by another entirely nonsensical ship too#but in general. UGH#i get obsessed with two characters bc i love their interactions and relationship and maybe they way theyve come to care about each other#and then all the posts (and fics) i see are like 'oh they should kiss lol' NO!! THEY SHOULD NOT!!!#have you never had a meaningful non-romantic relationship????#look at them!! theyre best friends!! theyre siblings!! whatever is going on with them is beyond normal relationships!!#just making them kiss immediately turns the entire concept so so so boring#like sometimes theres romance thats well-done but usually it discards everything else about the characters in question#like. theyre pining yay. what else. what about their unspoken but undying devotion to each other#what about their being trapped by the narrative together#what about the way theyre basically one entity and cant even tell where one ends and the other begins#what about their eternal loyalty that theyll never admit to anyone#what about the way they trust each other with every secret but dont even need to say anything out loud#what about the way this is the only person they feel safe and understood with#what about the unwilling bond forged through long travels#what about the beauty of friendship#noooo theyre just stupid pining idiots. kissy kiss kiss and its all done#friendship!! is!! amazing!!!! and more than enough!!!!!!#and with that other ship i see commonly why are you ignoring literally EVERY piece of symbolism in the og work UGH#like. no hate to avid shippers and enjoyers of romance#but i do not see the appeal#kissing is way overrated imo and then having all of my fav character dynamics being reduced to essentially Nothing#seeing super cool character dynamics being completely torn from the context and butchered into some pining#im so so so tired of it#a biscuit's rambles

finished bloodkeep rewatch. as always rotating leiland and markus in my mind. thinking about you don't have to deserve love it is freely given. thinking about love as fealty and the freedom of choice. to decide who it is you will swear yourself to. to decide who it is your heart might belong to. love as devotion but not like it used to be, not a weak little helpless thing, not a futile terrible ache, not chasing something you will never be granted. not as a thing you should be granted at all, not as a favour or a boon or a thing to be won, not as part of a transaction or a manipulation. not something that you have to be worthy of but something that you are given, out of free choice. something that you can give, out of your will and your heart. its about learning how to love its always being a little bit weird and intense and always giving 100% of yourself and learning that you're not going to be punished for it. that you're going to get what you want and the man who you might be falling in love with is someone who can love you back. who will, if you give him the chance. leiland guy of all time.
ALSO thinking about being a pirate mercenary for hire and wanting nothing else (after gold, maybe) than to go home but you can't, you can't, because they didn't even fucking look for you. you were lost at sea and they didn't even look for you, or at least they didn't find you, which when you think about it is basically the same thing. it's about finally meeting someone who has the closest to shared life experience as you've ever come, someone who tells you i know a thing or two about being forgotten royalty, and he's a little intense and a little pathetic and possibly a little too fixated on torturing people for all eternity but hey, who are you to judge. it's about spending the craziest day of your life watching him, watching him come into himself, giving him your kill just so he feels a little bit better about himself, and you don't want to save him, not necessarily. you're evil, you're not really in the business of saving people. you kind of want to fix him and you kind of want to just show him that goddamnit, look at what you could be if you just let people love you. markus also guy of all time.
#.txt#ACK. Feeling Crazy.#Sorry. about saying shared life experience. to anyone for whom its a sleeper agent activation phrase. just me?#SORRY THIS IS MY WHOLE OUTLINE JUST IN A POST. MY NOTES APP IS OPEN IDK WHY ITS IN HERE.#i wrote one (1) line of this fic in july 2022 and then it wasnt ready to come out of my brain. I Think Maybe It's Time Now.#leiland kisses like markus’s mouth is a flame and he’s never been warm before...#...and markus has known loyalty and love from more people than he might’ve ever expected but he’s never known devotion like this.#<- this is the line by the way. not to talk myself up but this fucks crazy.#eftbk

spectragus dont get enough credit for being a sun and moon ship but like. destructive sun and moon ship. sun and moon ship but they're the forces of nature the sun and moon actually are. the sun is harsh and relentless and unpredictable in its evil but also it's kindness, the moon is sharp and cold and cruel, a harsh light that doesn't allow you peace, but can also guide you, a light in the darkness. even on nights with a new moon, with no light in the sky, the moon is always reflecting the sun, and it'll be that way until they come to their end.
#spectragus give me a dopamine high that any sort of drug couldn't even come close to giving me#its the loyalty. its the seeing each other at their worst and still staying.#its the being the only person still around who knows and understands what youve been through#its the being so important to each other's characters that u cant mention one without recognising the impact the other has on them#i dont rlly do shipping unless its funny but also im a huge gus fan so like. yea. plus my view on romance is a bit all over the place anyway#something something my skrunkles deserve complicated relationships that are more than romantic but something else#its the trust thats the most important thing to me. trust and loyalty and devotion and#im sorry but i would have exploded if i like. didn't write down these thoughts#anyways fucked up gay people who are a package deal and that is a threat thats them#ik the majority of my posts are hee hee funnie and i usually dont take things too seriously#but these two have taken up part of my brain permanently since i was 8. like. they just live there. rent free.#i am like rabid rn. i am feral and i am insane and i am crazy and there are so many things wrong with me#i cant even write down all my fuckin thoughts there's so many my brain is going to Explode pray for me#idk if u understand how important it is to me the times they show kindness even while at their worst#they're not good people but they have people they care about and they care abt each other and that matters SO much#i take 0 criticism on my posts i only take cash. however there is no possible criticism to be made bc i am RIGHT#also this all kinda sparked from me getting obsessed with a certain kh character who has a connection to the moon#who is also one of my favourite characters ever#and if u know who it is and u also like him ur very cool#im not tagging this w character tags. im like. very shy. but#i love gus i love spectra i love spectragus#anyways see u next time where i should hopefully have art maybe potentially#i found the brushes i used to use back when i did lineless art so i am rlly happy

I think. Having my f/os call me their weapon or their attack dog would fix so many problems in me.
#📦; sweet dreams are made of this...?#🔍; we're gonna need more bandages...!#🍽️; bark like a god#🔑; opened up the sky to get one last kiss!#🔨; oh beloved#🥽; goggled and dangerous#💘; devil's dancemate#🍞; just two downers#💜; the a team#🌼; his lawman#🪢; cruelest fate#❣️; nothing fucks with my baby...#i um. i just. um. yeah#i just really like devotion and loyalty and unconventional nicknames :(#like karl calls me 'little lamb'/'lamb'/'my lamb' and that unlocks SOMETHING in me#and i just. idk something about my f/os knowing i would do anything to protect them is so <33#like sure. half of them can easily handle their own fights. but.#but its about the HEART EYES when i'm covered in BLOOD of their ENEMIES and WATCHING ME FIGHT#IN THEIR NAME. WITH ONLY THEIR SAFETY/HAPPINESS IN MIND#i'm a little fucked in the head and idk what this says about me#anyway#gush post
