THE SECRET LIFE SNIPPET AT THE END OF SCAR’S EPISODE? He’s going back?? He has sunflowers to tend??? He can’t do this to me what the fuck

ONE PIECE LIVE ACTION (2023) Set Design ↳ Interior of Kaya's Mansion

"There was a great location story here because we shot all of the Kaya stuff inside a mansion that had been built but abandoned, and there was nothing inside. It was all just sort of a concrete shell, so it was kind of a playground." — Richard Bridgland, Production Designer

WOULD. Would a Sanuso Enchanted (2007) AU be kind of sick. Would it?

Picture Sanji as the fairytale prince who fell into a real world when his clumsy knight, Zoro, was trying to rescue him from his evil wizard father.

He’s a prince who impulsively promised to marry his knight as thanks for freeing him, as he’s been trained to believe thats what he SHOULD do, but who didn’t realize how absolutely nuts of a decision that is until he shows up to New York and meets a kind-eyed, gentle, handsome kindergarten teacher named Usopp who helps him break out of that cartoon logic through the power of real-world smarts and a healthy sense of self-preservation. In turn, and maybe a little unknowingly, Sanji teaches Usopp how to bring a little bit of fairytale magic into this ‘modern world’ where everyone rolls their eyes at Usopp’s whimsy and imagination.

And then at the end when Zoro heads into the real world to bring Sanji back, Luffy- who is destined to evolve into a cartoon character in any timeline- is the one to go back with him, having fallen in love with his world of danger and adventure where they can just ride a horse into the sunset together (no marriage required, as Zoro was never even interested in that with Sanji and whatever they have going in is much funnier without it).

Not only did OPLA took the fun out of Nami (and Zoro), but hate how they also made Nami steal from Kaya in the LA even though Nami only steals from pirates in the manga

I mean... I don't really agree? I can see your point, though. The manga focuses way more on her hatred for pirates and emphasizes the fact that she steals from them respectively more. But I don't think stealing from the rich is something out of character for her. In fact, I think it's pretty much in character and also gives us a great scene about Luffy's views on rich people and money.

Nami won't stop complaining about how much stuff Kaya has and that she doesn't need all these luxuries. That it's unfair for the people who don't even have the chance to eat properly. She complains from a place of experience and hatred towards monetary difference and privilege. Nami grew up poor and her whole story is about finding comfort in money because that's what could've saved her mom and her village. She had to fight for it. Her mom wouldn't stop saying that it didn't matter that they weren't rich because they had each other, but Nami wanted more. Nami wanted stability and knowledge she could only achieve from the books she stole and,, She wanted to be able to live without sacrificing these things because it's just unfair people have to live this way while others swim in money. Arlong took everything from her and the ONLY thing that could've saved them was money. So of course she finds comfort in money. And of course she doesn't like rich people. Nami stealing from the rich and complaining about how they didn't have to fight for these things is extremely in character, in my opinion. It was a great addition to her character and a good way to build up her story.

Then, Luffy. I like the scene in which Nami's trying on outfits and saying rich people don't need all these things, and Luffy responds in a more emotional, concerned way for Kaya. He's like "but there's so much stuff in here and it's so empty at the same time... I'm sure she feels lonely without somebody to share this with" and Nami instantly goes to a more extreme, stubborn POV of "nah, rich people don't have feelings". And I honestly think it explains their characters so well. Luffy is an empathetic boy who grew up in the wild and he had to fight to live. Not even for money because he didn't care about that. He fought to live. He doesn't consider money something good or bad. He considers it just another type of living. And honestly? For him, it's not even good because his own brother was rich. Sabo grew up in a rich family and the kid wasn't happy at all and Luffy knew this perfectly. In fact, Sabo was only happy with Ace and Luffy and Luffy knows this. And I don't know if OPLA wanted to do something like this, and maybe it's a reach, but I honestly think Luffy was thinking about Sabo in that scene. For him, the more you have the less you have to lose because none of those materialistic things are worth it. For Nami, the less you have the more you have to lose. Simple as that.

I like their different views on this topic, honestly. Especially since Nami ends up befriending Kaya and understanding Luffy's POV. That money doesn't give you happiness and Kaya misses her parents the same as Nami. Death doesn't discriminate and money won't save you from tragedies like those. Nami finds comfort in money but it's not even something real. It's a trauma response from losing her mom but she knows it won't save them at the end of the day. At least it'll help them be comfortable, of course, she won't ever let the crew be poor. And also she likes shiny things and expensive stuff but like, obvious trauma response. She's fond of luxuries because she couldn't have them when she was a kid and now she has the chance to enjoy them and it's like telling her mom she finally made it and she's living comfortably thanks to her sacrifice, even if it's unfair she had to do it in the first place. That money isn't all but it's quite obviously it is something useful. Unlike Luffy, who gives 0 fucks about it and honestly, I don't think he even has a good opinion on that. At the end of the day, they both agree on the fact that everyone should live equally and nobody should have this much money to waste when others are dying of hunger (Wano my beloved).

TL,DR: I think it's in character for Nami and it gives us a great view of her opinion on money and also Luffy's past and empathetic personality.

Hi yes hello I cannot stop thinking about Kaya going off to medical school (I think realistically she'd be in more of a private internship situation but GO WITH ME HERE) so she's at med school and her classmates are like ooh girl have you got a special someone we can hook u up if not

And shes like hahaha there is sort of someone he's so sweet and such a fun storyteller he was really there for her after her parents died and they both left home to follow their dreams but they write and she hopes they can make something together someday

And her classmates are alternately like aww how sweet or like babe if you don't wanna go on a blind date you can just say so you don't have to make up a canadian boyfriend

And Kaya is mostly very good at medical school and very helpful when her classmates are figuring out how to study and sometimes she doesn't know basic things about how the world works but they all help each other out and then sometimes she'll do something concerning like stare out into the ocean and say 'oh I hope Usopp is having fun out on the Grand Line'

And they're like ........right okay he's a storyteller isn't he lmao the Grand Line is a metaphor hahahahaha for a moment there I really thought your not!boyfriend was out on the Grand Line for real or something hahahaha

And Kaya's like no i was seriously he actually is, last month he sent me a letter about [insert relevant plot point here idk I'm only at Alabasta]

And her friends are like ...........as a Marine? Kaya please say that your not!boyfriend who has run away to follow his dreams and ended up on the Grand Line joined the Marines. Or that he's lying to you. Kaya please say psych right now

And then they conveniently walk past a wall of wanted posters and Kaya is like OH LOOK THERE HE IS RIGHT THERE!!!! Awwww his bounty has gone up I'm so proud of him ^v^

And her classmates are there just like ......... and reassessing everything they know about her lmao

Of Reality and Late Night Confessions (I)

Kaya fell first, Suna fell harder.

Author note: The third installment in the blurry AU where Kaya and Suna actually get closer and fall in love.

I initially envisioned this as a one-shot, then as a two chapter story, but it ended up having three chapters.

AO3 link here.

Suna feels like something has shifted between her and Kaya the morning after the conversation about his mother.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking on her side; it wouldn't be the first time, after all. She's notoriously bad at reading people and even more bad at telling apart a sweet lie from the truth.

She can't even explain what is the change. It hadn't been the first time when they had kissed without actually having sex; he would ask for a kiss from her almost every night, it was something he liked to do, and she didn't really mind (far from it even). It hadn't been the first time where he had fallen asleep with his head on her chest either; it had happened once before, and she had liked it.

But there had been something in his eyes, in the way he held her, in the smile he gave her when he woke up in the morning, that made her heart beat faster and brought impossible warmth to her cheeks.

She spends the entire day in the room. It's ridiculous, really, but she can't bring herself to meet the others, not when all she wants is to see Kaya again, to make sure that she's not imagining things. She doesn't come out for dinner either; instead, she asks for a snack to be delivered to their room early in the afternoon, some fruits that she barely touches, texts Kaya that she won't appear at dinner and not to worry, and takes a warm shower, in the hopes that this will restore her calm somewhat.

She hasn't brought anything with her in the bathroom except a pair of clean underwear, so when she finishes her shower, she puts on the big towel she has used to dry herself, and goes out.

It's still early, Kaya is not back yet, and her eyes linger for a while on the clothes he has worn the previous night, neatly folded near the bed. Before she can even fully realise what she's doing, she lets the towel slip, grabs his t-shirt and puts it on. It still smells like him.

What in the world am I doing? she immediately asks herself, shaking her head and frowning at herself in the mirror. If someone were to see her right now...

But there's no one here, it's her bedroom (it was hers first, really, before he moved in), and what if she wants to try on his t-shirt? She's his wife, surely he would have no objections. He might even like it, she thinks, heart beating wildly, cheeks burning, before shaking her head again. She's really getting ahead of herself.

Revenge, revenge, Suna, remember his revenge plans. He married her for revenge and also to protect her, and he really doesn't love her. Sure, he might not pity her, she understood this the previous night, but that does not mean he has romantic feelings towards her.

She should have asked him, but she had been so caught up in the moment, first because of him finally confiding in her, then because of...

Because of her own decision to stay by his side, she realises, sitting on the bed, suddenly petrified. Because there was a moment when she decided to hell with everything, all that matters is him, and another moment in which his words sounded like love in her ears, but it wasn't him who changed.

It is her who has changed.

She actually really likes her husband.

No, to hell with it. She's probably well on her way to fall in love with him for real.

And what in the world will she do if he does not reciprocate?

Suddenly unwilling to think of anything else, she lets herself fall on the bed and covers herself with the duvet from head to toe, closing her eyes tightly and trying her best to empty her mind.

That's a problem for future her. Current Suna is simply not willing to deal with this.

*

It's already evening when she opens her eyes again, and the noise of water running in the bathroom, then suddenly stopping, is her clue that Kaya is back.

It takes her several seconds to fully wake up, and when she does, the first thing she feels is utter dread. She has fallen asleep wearing his t-shirt, and he'll probably be back in the room any second now. No use to even attempt to change her clothes.

As if on cue, the bathroom door opens, and he emerges in the room, wearing only his pyjama bottoms, and wiping off his hair with the same towel she has used earlier. She's really trying not to think about what this might or might not mean.

When he sees her peaking at him from behind the duvet, his entire expression softens, and the corners of his mouth rise up in a smile.

"Suna, you're finally awake. I was a bit worried when you didn't respond to my message, but when I came back, I saw you were asleep, and didn't want to bother you. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, uh, don't worry, I just took a nap," she responds, already hating herself for that "uh", and wondering how in the world will she ever be able to act normally around him again.

If he finds her behaviour strange, he does not comment on it. Instead, he folds the towel, setting it aside, and comes to sit on the bed, right next to her. Too close, too close, she thinks, trying to desperately pretend that she does not notice he's essentially half naked.

"Have you seen the t-shirt I wore yesterday, by the way?" he asks, and she can tell he has no clue of what she did (yet), but that doesn't stop her from blushing.

"Uh, yeah, I saw it," she manages, and he raises an eyebrow at her, evidently perplexed, even more so when she fails to elaborate.

"Are you sure you're feeling well? You're acting really weird."

Suna hides her face in her hands. Heavens, this is excruciating.

"Imwearingit", she manages to mumble, and it sounds like gibberish even to her own ears.

"Sorry?"

She kicks the duvet away in one swift motion, then raises her head, not even attempting to control her burning face any longer.

"I. Am. Wearing. It," she clarifies, and stares at him as if she would challenge him for it.

Kaya blinks once, twice, and shakes his head slightly, then another smile spreads on his face.

"Well, it suits you better than I imagined," he says. "Shows off those beautiful legs of yours quite well."

"Don't make fun of me."

He laughs, shaking his head again, then gets even closer and whispers, looking straight in her eyes:

"If you think I'm making fun of you, I'm obviously doing something wrong."

"Kaya..."

"You think I don't notice things? You know me quite well by now," he continues, a hand casually caressing one of her bare legs. "I'm noticing your blue clothes, and your short skirts, and the way you act when we're alone together. How possessive you are. And now you're even stealing my clothes. Do you want to hear a secret?"

He pauses, biting his lower lip, and looks at her with the same expression that became so familiar to her - like she's worth to be known.

"I like it," he says.

She kisses him.

It's pure impulse. It's not exactly how she envisioned the conversation. She needed to talk to him, to understand what all of this means for her, for him, for them both. But all of it felt suddenly too much; his proximity, his smell, the way he was looking at her, all of it making her feel like her heart was going to burst at any given moment.

She feels almost dizzy by the end, when they finally stop to breathe again. She feels his palm up on her leg, his fingers touching the hem of her t-shirt (his t-shirt, actually, but who can even tell at this point where she ends and he begins?) and then she hears him:

"Do you want to?"

"Yes," she says, pulling him towards her.

If anyone needs me please know that I am busy thinking about Grian saying “I have to constantly remind myself that I don’t have elytra, and you can’t go jumping off cliffs” in the first few minutes of 3rd Life

[call-me-copycat]

oh I didn’t know you were a cheese monger!

That I am! Not official yet (need to take the training course), but I've been working as one for about 8/9 months so I've gained a bit of knowledge :⁠-⁠)

This wasn't my dream job or anything, it's really just something I signed up for since I need a way to save for college, but it's a fun job so I don't think I'd want to leave it soon (unfortunately will have to eventually)

To answer your next ask about cheese facts, I have to admit I only really know what to say when people ask me questions about cheese, so I'll try to find random tidbits of what I can remember:

All of our cheese is imported from all over the globe (so we're a pretty expensive shop >⁠.⁠<)

There are certain ways to cut certain cheeses. Like "pie cut" (horizontally), "Cake cut" (circular ones like you'd cut a cake), "mountain cut" (huge triangular ones cut into a specific arrangement for their size, too intricate to describe), "barrel cut" (for cylindrical shaped cheese)

Harder/Longer aged cheeses are easier on the stomachs of lactose intolerant people (as I've learned myself)

There are lots of sweet cheeses (We had a pumpkin spice Bellavitano which was paired with this sweet oat cracker and apricot jam and it tasted similar to cheesecake)

Some of them lose flavor and color the older they get (probably common knowledge, but an example of this would be our Port Salut - It tastes really good and tangy when fresh cut but tastes plain when old, exactly like yogurt)

Mold spores can't penetrate most cheeses, so it's common practice to cut off some small mold bits on the harder cheeses (sounds gross, I know)

Blue cheese can mold. But with the mold you don't want to eat.

There are lots of Bellavitanos. Tons. Garlic and Herb, chili lime, pumpkin spice, bourbon, espresso (covered in ground coffee beans), Merlot (wine soaked), etc. We're still getting new ones currently

Bellavitanos "cry" when you cut them :⁠-⁠( [moisture seeps from small holes and they get slimy fast and I don't like it the slightest]

Real Parmiano Reggiano apparently "tastes a bit like pineapple" (I've tried it, I don't think it does)

Some of our cheeses are comically large. I'm very small and get paid to heft around ~30lb wheels of cheese to cut daily (not all the time - I'm infamous for avoiding them actually)

If you've ever seen those videos where people take a huge half wheel of cheese and scrape off the melted portion onto some food, it's most likely raclette cheese

Tried to think of some more but that's all that came to my mind right now ‎(´-ᴗ-⸝⸝ก) A lot of it wasn't official as I'm still learning a lot, but it's stuff that I've discovered while working there

I do not like the one rule we have where we have to eventually know what all the cheeses taste like, which means whenever we're cutting something and our manager finds out we don't know what it tastes like then we're forced to try a sample (·︿· `)

A lot of the time I do not like it! (⁠ ⁠･ั⁠﹏⁠･ั⁠)

I hope you're doing well! It's nice hearing from you! (〃´∀`)

headcanon time: i wrote a post about how it’s possible that saboala have been dating for a long time but oda hasn’t told us yet. what if koala was crying over sabo sleeping for three days just because she didn’t want to lose her wonderful boyfriend??? (i know friends can do this but i love them so much as a ship and i want them to be canon so bad adiós)

Look, Oda isn't making it canon because that's how he works. He once said that he believed he wasn't good at writing love stories and, to be honest? Average writer behavior. Imposter syndrome. This man has such a powerful way of telling stories and especially about love (platonic or not. But I'm talking about romance here). And he never says it's romantic but damn he knows how to write. So I wholeheartedly believe Saboala should be canon because look at them. I know I don't have many arguments for this but LOOK AT THEM. THAT'S NOT FRIENDSHIP BEHAVIOR THERE'S SOMETHING THERE. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT. IT'S THE ENERGY THE VIBES. They're giving Usokaya. 100%. Like they're obviously canon but they're not canon and then OPLA literally said "fuck it, Oda we need romance in here we are NETFLIX if there's no romance we die" and Oda said "Usopp and Kaya" without hesitation (Real conversation I literally heard it I was there I was the script). So,, Just believe whatever you want. He's doing the same with Hibari and Koby and at this point I just consider interpreting OP relationships however you want. I think Yamato and Ace was romantic too and we will never know because this man writes romance in the most obvious of ways but never makes anything canon. The closest we've ever been to a canon romance is Sanji and Pudding and that didn't even work out at the end (well, not really? Because, and this is a manga spoiler btw don't keep reading yadda yadda -> She shows up again. She's gonna be important to the plot. I can't believe this is happening in the anime like, in what? Three weeks? Am I right? I think I am. I miss her so bad. Like-- She's so ending up with Sanji. I am not even trying to make an argument or something I just think it should be obvious seeing how the story has progressed. If they don't end up together I'm gonna fail as a writer because it's just so obvious).

Basically, Saboala is pretty much canon in the OP standard for romance.
