One Piece Shipping War

Welcome to this all out shipping war! Do you think your ship is the best? Let's put it to a vote!

First, some rules:

All characters in the ship must be from One Piece

No OC's, self insert, or crossover ships

Non-canon characters are allowed (meaning from anime fillers, movies, games, etc.)

All characters involved have to be humanoid. No concepts, objects, or full animals (fishmen/merfolk, minks, and Chopper are allowed)

The 5 most popular ships (on AO3) will not compete!* This means, no Zoro/Sanji, Law/Luffy, Marco/Ace, Zoro/Luffy, and Kid/Law.

Poly ships are welcome! (also if 2 of the 3+ are one of the big 5)

Only submit romantic and/or sexual ships. This is not about friendships, general fun dynamics, or actual boats.

Submit a ship only once! (if I suspect voter fraud, that ship might be banned from the competition)

You can submit multiple ships, but use a new form for each ship.

Do not hate on other ships, just support your own.

Keep the pictures and propaganda SFW (as I want to keep the tournament SFW)

You are allowed to submit fanart for this tournament, as long as it's either your own or you've got permission from the artist. (Artist will be credited when their art is used, of course)

If you use manga spoilers in the propaganda, please announce them with a big 'SPOILERS AHEAD' before continueing.

*These ships are excluded to make the outcome a little more surprising, and give smaller ships a chance.

Ships with pictures included have a higher chance of making it into the tournament (as I don't have to look for pics myself).

Did you read all the rules? Okay, then go submit your favorite ship(s)!

I'm aiming for 32 ships to start the tournament with, but if I get a lot of different ships which have multiple submissions, I might extend it to 64 (if I have the energy for that). If I barely get any submissions, I will start with 16.

Submissions will be open until 12 July, 8PM CET, unless I don't get any new submissions for 24 hours, in which case it will close early.

dreams - amanda young x gn! reader

a/n- no triggers !!! basically just like. fluff and awkward mutual crushes. also written in like an hour with no edits so um !!!! plz enjoy this completely unplanned piece <33333

mentions of adam !!! word count: 823

amanda wakes in a startled mess, her anxiety sweat pooling at the dips in her skin and staining her shirt and sheets. she feels unbearably hot and claustrophobic.

she knows that unless she's running a fever (which she knows this feeling and it's not the traditional sick- it's a sickness in her head), there is no possible way for her to be warm right now. her apartment is old and she gets a discount on rent from how decrepit most amenities are.

so it's mid-october and her heater is busted- but she still feels hot and sick amidst the frigid air.

she heaves herself off the bed, leaving the sheets sticking to her skin behind. she sorts through a pile of semi-clean clothes. amanda would like to get a kickstart on her day- she knows, at this rate, she won't be able to fall asleep again.

she rinses her hair in the kitchen sink. spends a minute scrubbing at the subtly indented scars on her cheek.

she dresses in a hurry, though she has no place to go, no place urgent at least.

amanda walks six blocks to her favorite cafe, huddled in a jacket that no longer zips up.

no respectable shop should be open this early. or this late. from past experiences she knows it will be open though. the only shop aside from 24-hour markets and the occasional gas station open at this hour, in this neighborhood.

an annoying, zingy bell sounds as she enters and sits down at her favorite booth. the person working, y/n, has never bothered her about ordering something. they always let her watch or idly write on napkins or draw on her skin- anything to keep her from going back to her apartment.

y/n is not behind the counter right now. which is unusual. they usually do- well, amanda's not actually sure what they do. she hasn't been stalking them, after all, just observing. she has yet to figure out all the nitty gritty details of their job.

she recognizes, with a delighted and gentle smile, that they're decorating the interior for autumn. paper leaves strung together. doodles on the chalkboard menu. cutouts of pumpkins placed throughout the display boxes.

they hum to themselves as they work. amanda finds it soothing. she always does. because y/n always seems so endearingly lost in their own bubble- amanda feels something that sounds like envy but feels much softer.

she tracks her eyes with their movements, lulling her into a calm.

amanda does not mean to fall asleep. she is exhausted and the cafe is so warm and light compared to her residence. it's too easy when she does.

she doesn't fight back like she thinks she will. she recognizes she's dozing off too late for her mind to react.

it's the season-appropriate interior. the humming. a distinct beep from someone brewing coffee. increased foot traffic through the entryway. the dimmed yellow-y lights. the scent of perfectly spiced chai.

a clink of a ceramic mug on the tabletop stirs her. she doesn't feel ill this time, as she allows her body time to adjust before moving. before getting out of bed. she absently scratches the side of her neck.

"oh, geez," comes a whisper. "i didn't wake you, did i?"

amanda's eyes widen. she sits up more professionally, keeping her hands clasped in her lap.

"no," she replies. "it's fine."

y/n smiles at her. sparks flicker in amanda's heart- their expression feeling so personal and directional. they're not simply smiling; they are smiling at her. she feels close to melting- better than melting.

"good, good. i hope you like your drink, amanda."

they freeze. readjust their apron and looks at her concerned, embarrassed, too.

"it, um- it is amanda, right?"

she nods her head. the scene unfolding feeling so dreamlike. it's intoxicating.

"i- i see you in here all the time. i got your name from my coworker. that sounds-" they fluster. "his name is adam."

amanda lets herself react as y/n reacts. she chuckles. "yeah. he's- it's complicated."

they laugh. "oh, god, i bet! what isn't complicated with him?"

they're leaning against the headrest on the side of the booth opposite to her. it feels like friends reuniting. it's more than reconnection, whatever she is actually experiencing.

it's magical, though.

"oh, um-" they tap at their nametag, letters drawn with their own expertise. "y/n. i'm y/n. wait- shit, you've already known that."

amanda finds their humble fumbling endearing.

(y/n wants to say- "it's not every day i get to chat with my prettiest customer"- they feel too shy to even think of forming the letters in their mouth)

(amanda wants to tell them they have the sweetest voice she's ever heard. she thinks that might be overbearing and acts against her desires)

"we should- when you come back again, you should say hi to me before it gets busy."

Actually can we make this an event? "#non english music 2024". Post music either just in your own language (assuming it's not English) or in multiple languages that you may or may not speak.

Including: genre (or similar). Song/album title, artist/band name.

Optionally a Spotify, YouTube, Bandcamp, Soundcloud or similar link. In addition to an explanation of what the song is about.

And of course you can add anything else you want, it's your post.

Some of you need to remove the mold from your house that makes you think sex is only valid when it’s penis(or strap) in vagina/ass.

What happened to accepting that gay and lesbian sex isn’t straight sex?

That sex can be so many things? Where is the acceptance for people who don’t like, want or maybe can’t preform penetration (either receiving or giving)?

Gay sex can be so many things and that’s beautiful, but I see too many people focused on the heterosexual idea of what sex is, and acting like sex that doesn’t involve something going into someone’s hole is not sex.

I’m tried of this narrative that gay sex is only valid if there’s some kind of penetration involved.

im so upset rn

i keep seeing shit about other queer people SUPPORTING LAWS THAT BAN GENDER AFFIRMING CARE and it pisses me off so much.

we wouldnt have ANY QUEER RIGHTS without trans women of colour. yall remember stone wall?? you know, the breaking point that allowed queer rights to even be suggested in the US as human rights???

that was because of trans women of colour.

if you support terfs, block this account. if you believe that children cant understand that being forced to present a certain way makes them unhappy, block this account. if you truly believe that gender affirming care mutilates or destroys kids, BLOCK THIS ACCOUNT.

and for all my mutuals and followers who are not trans, support your trans/nonbinary/intersex friends and family. fight against these laws and bans being put into place. go to protests, email your senator, reblog and post about news involving these bans. do not be silent.

im sick and tired of the LGBTQ community forgetting where we came from.

something i’ve been thinking about lately is like. growing up muslim right after 9/11 is something i’d never really reflected on much because it was all i’d ever known — at 5, my friend’s mum didn’t let her invite me to her birthday party because i was the only brown girl in our class, at 12, my classmates would joke about my family being part of isis, at 16, my dad was interrogated by american airport security for hours — and it always stung and it always hurt but it was just the way things were because the western world hated muslims. but i don’t think i’ve ever fully comprehended the extent to which we were hated until now.

palestine is being turned into a mass graveyard. every single day there are new photos of the atrocities being carried out against them and videos of them pleading for help and still those who can actually intervene turn a blind eye. israel is claiming to only be targeting hamas “terrorists” while bombing a refugee camp. israeli police raided and assaulted a non-zionist jewish neighbourhood. israeli soldiers are posting tiktoks of them torturing captured palestinians. this is not a complicated issue and it never has been. ethnic cleansing is being committed right in front of us. and yet the western world leaders refuse to call for a ceasefire.

and while zionist organisations accuse pro-palestine demonstrations of anti-semitism, while zionist celebrities insist that they’re afraid to leave their mansions in los angeles, a six year old muslim boy was stabbed to death and his mother wounded in the same attack in chicago. a muslim doctor was murdered while sitting outside her apartment complex in texas. hundreds of peaceful protesters have been arrested (many of whom have been jewish). despite what zionists want you to believe, this is not a jewish/muslim conflict. i have so much love and gratitude to my brave jewish brothers and sisters all over the world who are condemning israel for their actions.

ultimately, israel have been granted impunity by the west. they have slaughtered thousands upon thousands of innocent palestinians. they have bombed hospitals and schools indiscriminately. they have used white phosphorus, violating the geneva convention. they have completely eradicated nearly 900 bloodlines. how many more need to be wiped out? how many more children need to be buried underneath the rubble? how many more doctors need to be confronted with the bodies of their own family members? how many more journalists need to detail the horrific acts of violence they are witnessing? what more can be done to the palestinian people that has not been done already?

i truly believe that palestine will be free one day. i believe the palestinian people will receive the justice they finally deserve. but what breaks my heart is how much they have suffered and will continue to suffer before they are deemed worthy of help. and it would be to all of our detriment if we ignored how much of a factor palestine being a predominantly muslim state has played into the way the world has reacted to their genocide.
