There's not a lot of strawhats-in-the-real-world AUs, so I'm here to fill that void! This has been on my mind for a hot minute now, so let's talk about the characters in One Piece if they were youtubers!

Click to reveal!

Luffy - Travel Vlogger

Channel: IAMLUFFY

Subscriber Count: 7 Million.

Luffy would 100% be the unintentionally annoying vlogger who just streams and records everything. He's more likely to shove a camera in your face by accident, but he's also the guy who makes really engaging content and does more unique things than your average vlogger. He'd actually be a pretty big name in the vlogging sphere I'd imagine, and while vlogging channels tend to have lower subcounts, I think that 7m would be a good number for him to have. Luffy would also be down to record with other people (regardless of their sub count), and wouldn't mind traveling halfway across the world to do a one-off collab (especially if you agree to feed him).

His content: His content would revolve around travel, food, everyday living, and funny anecdotes. The editing would be very fast-paced with lots of graphics, and sound effects. He'd need to have an editor, and that poor editor would just be swamped with hours upon hours of random footage of him eating, or picking his nose. Lots of B-roll potential!

Zoro - Fitness Guru/Vlogger.

Channel: Roronoa Zoro

Subscriber Count: 3 Million.

It's a no-brainer that Zoro would be a fitness influencer. He would never have thought of becoming an influencer, but Luffy probably recorded him working out in some of his early vlogs, and convinced him to start his own channel. He wouldn't be as into vlogging as Luffy, and definitely wouldn't put much of his personal life out there, but he'd still show what he did and make it somewhat entertaining. Zoro would have fangirls up the wazoo! Especially since he trains without his shirt on, and always shows himself working out. I don't think he'd do collabs on his channel, but he'd always accept being in one of Luffy's vlogs, or even guest starring on Sanji's show (more on that later--).

Content: I think his content would be focused on posting his daily schedule, what he ate, how he worked out, etc. as well as a weekly weigh-in. He'd occasionally post his kendo tournaments and would encourage people to try it out, and make tutorials on all things kendo. I have a feeling he'd probably have the most sponsorship offers, but he'd turn down the vast majority of them (since a lot of them are scams). I don't think he'd have an editor since he seems like the kind of guy to just slap it together with some music behind it and post it to YT or Insta. I can even imagine him getting quite decent at editing and filming, and using Brook's music (with permission ofc). I think he'd also talk about stuff about the gym, what he likes vs. doesn't like, and sometimes talk while he works out.

Sanji - Cooking Show

Channel: Devil's Kitchen with Sanji

Subscriber Count: 3 Million.

I don't think I need to explain why Sanji would have a cooking show, but I imagine it more like Binging with Babish with fun challenges, instead of straight up Kitchen Nightmares/reality TV. He'd have the highest production value out of the strawhats with a cameraman and 2-3 editors, and he'd probably be the only one to actually get a show on cable (separate from his YT). Sanji would be more likely to bring guests onto his show, and I can see Zoro being a frequent guest. Would not be surprised if they start a podcast tbh. Wouldn't be surprised if they also lived together

Content:

His content would be a lot less 'indie' feeling and more high quality. Lots of cool camera angles and editing. His stuff would end up on Food P*rn I'd imagine. Like, all the time. Sanji would probably be asked to collab with other people, and he'd take a lot more sponsorships too. Soy Sauce wants to sponsor him? Hell yeah, he'd do it! Bang Energy Drink? Well, no. He still has standards. I can imagine him doing a lot of 'How-to' videos and diet-focused videos, like "How to Cook for Vegans", or "Best Gluten-Free Recipes". He'd probably be in and out of relationships quite a lot too, maybe some controversies? (Lemme know if ya'll want some headcannons for that.)

And that's the end of that! Lemme know if you guys want to see more, or have any suggestions!

first meeting and now

The most illegal thing Koby has done is learn a divine language... Which is only a little bit more illegal than dating a God

So.

Thoughts on language/religion in regards to this au. They aren't fully fleshed out but I'll clean it up as I go.

Learning a divine language is kinda taboo, like, you can learn them, and it's certainly less frowned upon than poneglyph, but outward practice isn't really accepted. Many people who are religious or follow religious practices are well versed in divine languages, in order to feel closer to their respective Gods.

Besides, religion makes people feel at ease and the world government is pretty relaxed when it comes to punishing those for worshiping or following their Gods. With how many there are, and how deeply a lot of it is ingrained into so many cultures, it'd also be a pain in the ass to control both that and pirates.

Koby learns through the people he meets while traveling. A lot of them think it's odd but fascinating that a young, wide-eyed marine wants to learn something like that. They indulge him anyways.

He did get better at understanding the language but his pronunciation isn't great, kinda hard to make some of the sounds Luffy makes too. Especially when he isn't used to talking like that, nor are most people. Demigods have an easier time picking up on speaking the actual... Words?

Robin understands the language of the Gods, and the rest of the Straw Hats do pick up on it a little bit just through exposure to Luffy. Luffy isn't the greatest teacher, but having people who want to understand him is always exciting. He is thrilled when he meets up with Koby on Water 7 and Koby can understand him.

Thinking about how Shanks will keep a list of all the places he wants to take you—how he’ll stand staring at the prettiest view he’s ever seen and wish you were with him, and promise himself that next time he’ll drag you along no matter how much you huff and moan, just because he knows that awed look on your face will put to shame whatever picturesque scene he’s found.

[141] Hermitcraft x Odyssey crossover au where for no good reason this interaction happens

[kallicaria]

as a landoscar writer something i've been rotating in my mind is the way oscar slots into lando's life with all his childhood best friends. lando is someone who grew up so loved, who has always been so loved by the people around him, his friends and family; and not only that, but also someone so deeply and personally and intimately known by these people. and that's because they've been with him for so long, since he was a tiny midget prodigy child; they know all his ins and outs, his quirks and moods and how he loves and what he needs when he's upset, and he can always go back to them, because they're safe and easy and simple and home.

and then someone new comes along, a complete stranger; and because of his fame/job lando has good reason to be wary around strangers, to put up walls before letting them in (even if he doesn't always manage that because he's chronically wearing his heart on his sleeve). and oscar's unlike anyone lando's ever known or loved before, but he comes into lando's life and fills up a place he didn't even realize was missing, lying in wait. he understands lando in this oddly intense way; it's like they resonate on the same wavelength sometimes, and he's also just so patient, so calm, so steadfast. and so slowly lando becomes let to him in as well, to trust him with siller, brattier, less put-together polished versions of himself. to trust him to be there to help him when he's vulnerable; to, at the very least, always be watching him steadily.

and all of lando's friends are so protective and care about him so much, so they're cautious around oscar at first. they want to make sure he recognizes what a gift it is to be given lando's heart, what a priceless treasure he holds in his hands, and that he won't treat it carelessly or hurt lando in any way. but they know he makes lando feel happy, and safe, which is all they really want too in the end of the day.

these past few days i've been feeling so insane about nortrell—who i really think only work for me as platonic soulmates, best friends, brothers, more so than a romantic pairing. even romantic nortrell could only ever work as childhood friends to lovers (never strangers to lovers, for me at least!); their shared history, the way they know each other by way of all those shared memories and personal experiences, meeting as tiny children and becoming adults together, is an essential part of their dynamic. honestly i'd love to write something focusing on platonic brotherly nortrell as the central relationship but asdflkjaslkdjfa idk if non-romantic fics have literally any target audience on ao3 so maybe it'd just be something short? (that is if i ever manage to finish a wip in the first place)

One look from you,

And I'm on that faded love

Out of my body,

And flying above

SO SO SO HAPPY WITH MY COMMISSION FROM @featheredcrowbones !!! EVERYONE LOOK !!!

I'm a big sucker for royalty AU's, and they brought my dream to life. 🥹 look at the crown!! All the details !! Living my princess dreams!!!

Mammon wanted one dance alone, away from prying eyes after the ball. He wanted to admire his princess without judgement or interruptions. His love always sparkled under the moonlight. He hopes she doesn't notice the way he's lost in her eyes or blushing. But it's okay. Little does he know, she's just as smitten <3

I am literally a week late but Mother’s Day is every day for those who have loving mothers/mother figures in their lives.

And as you see, Bellflower Bat is just that, not only to her two biological sons Milkweed(green bat baby) and Caidan “Caddy”(purple caterpillar baby), bet it’s difficult to figure out these boys’ dad😉😆 but to Howdy’s nephews Howdo and Youdo(still don’t know which is which) and also @dollpuppets adorable OC Allie Sweetie they see Bellflower as an aunt.

Bellflower is so happy to have hugs from some of her favorite kids in the Neighborhood and they are all happy to have her in their lives too.

So to all the mothers, aunts, grandmothers, potential mothers, and “mothers” to their pets I wish you all a lovely day today.

GREGTOBER DAY 22: STEAMPUNK (sort of)

@gregaverse not much of a plan for this one and wanted to do something more simple. So sorry if this isn’t too steampunky enough, but the closest Gregory I got for it is the G Fam DnD au Archer who’s the artificer of the group. ^^’

Camouflage

[buff-electra-truther]

I've alluded to the concept a number of times, but here's my redesign for OLC Belle the Sleeping Car wildly roleswapped into a Momma/Poppa figure for Electra, as Belle the GG1. You could probably give her a better name, but Belle is passable enough since all locomotives in the US have bells, I mainly kept it to preserve the flow of her song (see below cut for her version!). Based on their status and appearance in their absolute final running days in 1984. They may look glossy and pretty (if a WILD time warp) but they were on their absolute last gasp physically at this point after running for nearly 50 years, due to a lack of suitable replacement. Her dress follows a similar logic to Greaseball's outfit in that it represents the streamlined cowl, which is why she's less mechanical than most.

Personality-wise, she's also oooooold and based on Ella Fitzgerald, even more heavily than OLC Belle since she's fits perfectly with the time/place/personality of the GG1s. Both started in the mid-30s in New York City, and were noted for being "effortless" and almost unparalleled in their field. I tend to imagine her playing more on the "cute, humble, and improvisational" side of Ella, entering the big race just to have one last good run before she retires, and forgetting lyrics and making up something that sounds natural. In my mind she wins because the tracks are rough and winding, which she's far more used to that the other Nationals, with how decrepit parts of her Northeast Corridor were in the 80s and still are now- experience is a quality that counts for a lot!

She toes the line between OC and AU since she's such a twist on the original but stays largely true to her general concept. I'll call her more of an AU and say anyone is free to use this interpretation if they want, I'm not possessive of it at all.

Realistically she'd be dead as a doornail after 1984 (GG1s will just never run in preservation, they were in such bad shape and would need so much work to function on modern systems you may as well build a new replica). But make a cheeky joke about Controls' mom "sticking the old shell on a new body and not telling the kid" and she can come back. I like to think she'd have a flirty, playful rivalry with Momma/Poppa, she'd make Light At The End Of The Tunnel a duet about how steam is great.... for power plants! The Pennsylvania Railroad just stopped getting more steam engines when it electrified lines vs axing them so she wouldn't have any historical antagonism with them.

Here's my rewrite of Belle's Song largely following the original format, but now about the real history of the GG1s

Speed and youth ain't everything

Experience is a quality that counts for a lot

The sad thing 'bout experience is

By the time you've got it

It's usually all you've got...

I'm Belle, Belle, Belle, the GG1

Had my fifty years of fun

My frame is cracked, I’m almost done

Though in my heart, I long to run

I hauled the folks, I hauled the freight

I made good time, no need to wait

Just couple up and ride with me

I’d get you where you want to be

Once I was the hope for the future, wires run from coast to coast

Service every hour, to everywhere, hauling the post!

Now it’s just tragic…

The war then came, it all fell down

Restriction made the new tech drown

Let autos win, pave over it all

Watched the railroads slowly fall

Still I was a real mainliner, they struggled to replace me

Ran commuter trains into the ground

Down by the sea…. At least it was scenic

Oh, Belle, Belle, Belle, the GG-LOST

I’m worn down, yet I’m still boss

I may not be first class, but I'm not yet worst class

I can still take you when the night is dark

I’m withered, but I ain’t lost my spark

The entirety of one piece being a reality tv show and the prize is the one piece and absolutely no one knows what it is except the previous person who won the prize, gold d Roger. During the competition they travel around the world to complete challenges and go up against other competitors

The show was only meant to go on until one person found the one piece but Roger decided that was boring and hid the prize back where he found it for someone else to find. The only reason the public knows he found it is because he told the producers where it was and what it was

More on my Straw Hat Kids, mostly on the crew as a whole:

•at first, Cleo has a massive crush on Luffy. It makes him a little uncomfortable, but eventually it settles down and she just views him as her weird uncle. It seems most of that energy goes to turning Ruby into her personal baby doll.

•Shark is the responsible one of the older kids. Cleo and Thomsaine are about as feral as the younger kids. He's particularly close to Jakob because of this.

•Jakob is the only one of them with any survival instant, but because he's the youngest, most of the other kids just tease him as a crybaby. 9/10 he was right.

•Ruby is obsessed with Sea Beasts and Kings of all varieties. She likes to play a game with Luffy and Zoro to see if she can guess where one will pop up and they'll attack it.

•Sanji tried to dress Sora up in cute matching dresses with Kuina but hers always come back stained and ripped.

•Shark and Thomsaine start a book club. The other kids aren't interested, but Robin, Usopp and Jinbei are happy to participate.

•Yaz is the little shipwright's apprentice. She's always trailing after Franky and Usopp as they make their repairs.

•Chopper becomes a freak about stocking contraceptives after dealing with back to back unplanned pregnancies of Luffy/Nami and Zoro/Sanji. He's had enough of the miracle of life, thank you. Please stop making him deliver babies, he's much more comfortable with mortal injuries.

•Ruby and Sora are the first to get bounties, something that lands both Luffy and Zoro in the doghouse for weeks.

•Most of Kuina's frilly dresses come from Reiju. She and Zoro have an understanding that he'll kill Judge on sight if he ever comes near the twins. Sanji knows about this, despite both of them thinking he doesn't.

•Zoro nearly killed Sanji when he revealed he was a quadruplet after Zoro was already pregnant. They were both very relieved to only have two.

•Nami and Luffy refuse to define their relationship beyond navigator and captain, so the rest of the crew just starts referring to them as the other's "co-parent". They accept this with mild grumbling.

•Ruby refuses to sleep in a crib for the first six months of her life. Zoro says it's because Luffy spoiled her, and Luffy doesn't understand how you spoil a baby. Zoro really has egg on his face when the twins are born and he's as bad as Luffy with always carrying his babies around.

•Franky/Robin met and adopted Thomsaine during the months Nami was recovering from having Ruby with the Revs.

•Dragon and Luffy have zero idea how to communicate with each other, so they mostly just discuss Thomsaine and Ruby when they see each other. Iva always gives him a hard time about being a Grandpa whenever Sabo comes back from a visit with Luffy.

•The age order is Shark and Cleo, who I assume to be about 11 or 12 in Canon? Then Thomsaine is about 3 years younger. Ruby, Yaz, and the twins are all a few months apart, all 6-7 years younger than Thomsaine. And then Jakob is the youngest, two years younger than the middle cohort. Ruby and the twins were born and raised on the Sunny, and it's pretty evident they've only known a life of piracy.
