Medieval Zosan AU... of a sort

So there's this beautiful series titled "Medival Zosan AU" by @hazel-athena and I loved it!

...only I suspect the author was actually talking about "medieval Europe aesthetic" when they wrote their fic and not...well... whatever my brain came up with.

Anyway! have some sketches of my "medieval au fashion except it's anything BUT medieval europe"

And look, my brain did take a weird turn there, but it WORKS.

You can really read that fic and add whatever landscape you want: medieval mongolia? works. Medieval japan? piece of cake. Idia in the 9th century? sure, why not... and it will work, cause that story is very versatile!

Some other ideas I got while reading it:

I feel Shimotsuki's color is green so maybe the offical garbs for all palace workers (Nami and Usopp included) are green?

...then again brown is an easier color to dye for the general population (and maybe for kitchen staff too!)

I would love for Sanji to have black boots, but I seem to remember black dye ix very difficult to make and thus kinda expensive, so maybe he does have black boots but a regular cook's uniform would have some other color....mmh probably not even boots, just simpel shoes.

...not sandals tho, I imagine the weather in that country leans towards "cold"

anyway, if you're new in the fandom like me and you like Zosan I recommend this series! is really cool! ;D

Luffy in alabasta was at his cuntiest and bravest like he befriended a princess, took down a warlord with extreme nicotine addiction and recruited said warlord's 28 y/o international terrorist cuntenserven colleague no gears no money no bitches no special technique just a pair of sandals and audacity

The no canon romance among SHs Oda established actually makes shipping so much easier because you won’t have a canon pairing that “invalidates” other pairings at the end of the series and there’s no fear that your ship will be ruined, you know? Yes him saying “itS because OP is for BoYs and bOys don’t like LoVe” was a bit eye-twitching but he said that in 2009, I don’t believe a married man is That cringe lol. He’s just a smart man and doesn’t want backlash from fans for any confirmed pairings considering what happened with Naruto and Bleach, and if he wants to do a real romance he needs to pay effort into it coz he’s a perfectionist but he just doesn’t have the capacity of that so… just scrap it entirely lmao. In the end I appreciate it coz if nothings canon then everything can be canon ;)

i've seen figure skater sanji and hockey player zoro before. idk if its been explored but i'd love to put it out there:

hockey player sanji (specifically goalie bc he desperately wants to avoid being checked) and then pairs skater zoro.

pairs skater zoro's long time partner has been nami. though many people ship them together a Lot, they just know each other super well. Well enough to try dating and both of them realized they don't swing that way. in fact, it makes them a really good team. they fought long and hard to claim top spots in competitions because they portray a chemistry that's separate from the rest. plus zoro can carry nami like she weighs fucking nothing. so their lifts are so much more dynamic. they even have a whole next to impossible combination that they're trying to get the ISU to name after them officially.

sanji plays for the East Blue Straw Hats in the Grand Line Hockey League – a formidable rookie group that took down lots of big names in the preseason. they want to make it all the way to the postseason playoff finals but always seem to fall short. but theyre so determined. they reignited a lot of old sparks that were no longer there for old fans and brought in new and curious fans. sanji is the starter goalie and a damn good one at that. it makes sense bc goalies are often doing splits on the ice just to make a save. he's perfected the technique that utilizes just his legs to make saves that make the crowd go fuckin insane.

we have the usual "i booked the rink to practice before you did" trope but a little more spice. in actuality, sanji loves watching pairs skating competitions. his favorite pair rn is franky and robin (mostly for robin). and he adamantly does not want to admit to anyone that he watches zoro and nami's routines much more frequently. (and if anyone asks, he always says its bc of nami. its never just bc of nami.) and zoro's besties with luffy so he always watches their matches even if he barely understands the rules. and he definitely does not stare at a certain blond starter goalie most of the match thats fucking ridiculous

one day zoro and sanji are invited to do one of those comparison videos between hockey players and figure skaters. both get to laugh at the other even Attempting to do their sport. zoro frankly looks ridiculous in all of sanji's usual goalie get-up. and sanji couldn't land an euler to save his life. the video producer suggests they try a simple pairs skating routine. sanji is like "oh i couldn't do that–hEY WHAT THE FUCK MOSSHEAD PUT ME DOWN" because zoro lifted sanji and had him sat on his shoulder like it was normal.

zoro smirks, "you might be lighter than nami, actually. wanna be my new partner?"

sanji knees him in the stomach before skating away while blushing so hard he could melt the ice beneath him.

If you send me a ship template I’ll almost definitely fill it out

[mintypsii]

they resumed fighting 2 seconds later as usual

[clearancecreedwatersurvival]

Look people can discourse about how problematic a ship is and how terrible people are for shipping it all they want, but the reasons they try and assign for shipping something are usually pretty ridiculous. The only actual point of discrimination on whether or not I’m gonna ship a pairing is just how narratively compelling the character dynamic is. Do they play off each in an interesting way? Is there some good narrative symbolism involved?? I’m there.

Yes that does mean I’m often a basic bitch and end up enjoying whichever slash and femslash ships are popular BUT there’s usually a reason why a bunch of writers have gotten into something! Tbh! Shit being popular doesn’t mean it’s bad, stuff usually pops off for A reason, regardless of it’s a reason you personally agree with.

Zoro "I need to fight Sanji to keep from stealing Sanji"

That's exactly the logic of his dumb little hindbrain that keeps taking the wheel every time it gets a sufficient sniff of Sanji's omega scent to wake up and get involved in decision making.

Of course those dumb little hindbrain instincts then get ""rationalized"" by Zoro into two better but still very unhelpful thoughts of:

Sanji is my rival that needs to be Competed against at every opportunity in order to ensure I am never stagnating in my goals of becoming a better swordsman

Goading Sanji is so great because then I get to have his full attention on me :)

At no point does he connect it to those funny little alpha instincts and would argue with anyone who suggests that what he's doing is Alpha Posturing against the most misguided target. Because this has nothing to do with him being an alpha (and Sanji an omega) and everything to do with the dumb cook being so quick to fire up about stupid things and also being one of the few on the crew who Zoro can go all out against without worrying about hurting.

Sanji is not one of the people who are aware of what's actually causing this behaviour in Zoro. So he is 100% responding to the challenges as a Challenge he's not going to let slide because like hell is he going to let This Alpha get away with.

Is there a One Piece rarepair ships week. Is that a thing. It should be a thing I think

Does lawlu have a kid too that plays with zosan kid?

In my opinion, Lawlu isn't a couple who are going to have kids... relatively, at the very least. Who knows if I can think of any setting or AU where they might have children, but in a modern domestic AU or canon/canon-compliant settings, I don't exactly see them as having kids. I see them as a couple whose idea of settling in begins and ends with each other. Don't get me wrong, they adore children, but they're not necessarily interested in having their own. Them playing uncles for their friends' kids is more than enough for them.

What I do see them having, in modern setting, are dogs. I totally see Law as a dog person and Luffy is just jolly enough to have any pet companion around. I think it paints a pretty funny picture to see Law trying to wrestle both of his overexcited dog AND boyfriend to take a bath after their 2-hour frolicking in the muddy grass.

A couple that I see having kids in modern AU is actually Frobin! My personal headcanon is that they adopted, and it has to do with how I love the idea of Robin, who was abandoned as a child but gradually found love and healing in her found family, would want to try to be a mother for children who went through the similar thing she did as a child. Robin canonically adores children, so I think it's not much of a stretch for her to want them regardless of how she acquires them. And Franky is just supportive all around - he'd be a great dad.
