Emmyyy that winged Ace art😭 it made me think of an icarus/apollo au, cause there’s a reimagining of the myth with icarus and apollo as lovers and icarus built wings to reach apollo, and i’m just imagining a sorta tragic au where luffy becomes nika, losing his humanity and becoming the sun, and Ace builds wings to fly up to him😭 anyways, i upset myself and wanted to share haha

Merry.... how could you do this to me, personally,,,, (lmao)

whatever you do don't imagine luffy watching what's happening, knowing that there's no way he can help as he is now, anymore... he sees ace falling into the water, right in the middle of a reflection of the sun--and ace says "it's okay, luffy" because, at least like this, he can "touch" luffy one last time as he breaks the surface

gosh i'm having to restrain every instinct in my body to let the AU stay tragic... you have to understand i have Trained myself to make things fluffy. this is me working against years of stubborn fix-it headcanons and happy, everyone-lives AUs 😂 but I'll do it for the symbolism... the poetry...

#but perhaps. we can imagine ace becoming a constellation in the sky can't we #he made the wings he showed his devotion #just bc he didn't want luffy to feel alone in the sky....... he knew luffy hated loneliness more than anything....#man i was just thinking about the 'luffy losing his humanity to godhood' thing the other day #but i was gonna make it about how--if it's his drive to be king/spread freedom/protect the ones he loves that pushes him into that role #it would take being reminded that there's a life after winning that's worth 'staying' for #the whole reason to do any of those things in the first place #and what better symmetry is there than having ace play that part #the one who was there before and the one who was there after... or something #anyway [handshake meme] very fun wreaking havoc together #acelu #op #headcanons #mythology au
