Luffy’s Parental figure — ACE!

Who raised Luffy and co-parented him with Sabo.

He's the guy who actually did the teenage boom and baby Luffy. Who was really the only one to be an adult to his brother for seven years. Who raised this little bugger and was there for him through hard training and after hard illnesses as well.

Ace who's an explosive head in his own right, but still cool-headed in the most precise moments of danger.

Who knows how to make chicken soup and other kinds of soups from nutritious foods because Luffy couldn't chew and swallow like normal when he was sick.

Who in the field knows how to pick out what's edible, what's poison and what's medicine, because you learn that quickly in the jungle.

Who really with bare hands will be able to build a place for a night's lodging, to make food or water and to make a trap for safety or for fresh game.

He's a man who smiles at his little bro when he's in sight and who really shows a lot of affection and attitude through touch, because Luffy always needed physical affirmation of love and gosh that kid was very touchy-feely baby.

His life centered around his little brother, who needed to be raised, preserved, and made strong.

Teenage angst and mood swings had passed him by(so nothing unusual), because Ace was already an emotional wreck, but having Luffy around was actually a good catalyzer.

Also life amidst the trash and scum had taught him very well what to avoid, i.e. roughhousing, rapes, murders, overdose deaths, the horrors that slums can hold, especially the nooks and crannies where Ace and Sabo used to sneak around.

According to one particular scene that Luffy had somehow stumbled upon (and he had witnessed the brutality and the corpses privately, but he had never seen the bodies of dead children and girls before )

Luffy had hysteria so intense that he passed out.

After that accident Ace and Sabo decided only to walk in the more lighted and more open area if necessity would lead them to the slums.

In general, Ace isn't used to violence and direct threats, although in some cases Ace remains painfully innocent and naive, especially when it comes to himself. ( unless it involves Roger, the Pirate King )

Because of the fact that Thatch almost cut to pieces a lost in life and specifically in that bar amigo who ran into Portgas and began, in Thatch's opinion, to spread his hands.

And if Ace at first reacted friendly enough on approaching of the future corpse by thinking that maybe it was one of his brothers or inhabitants of the protected area, but when the man had crossed the line with a couple of words, he was carefully folded in unconsciousness by the bar wall.

Honestly, I just want more and more of Ace's side as the man who raised a hyperactive ball of joy. And specifically the aspect of home life, which most often of course manifested itself during meals.

For example, some dishes that for example made pirates complain due to scarcity or flavor (e.g. tomato soup/onion soup, any other specific fruit/vegetable) or the beverage (compote/juice/tea of unfamiliar pickings, etc.) of specific fruits or vegetables to be consumed based on shipboard life.

So imagine the surprise of the Marco when most of the pirates booed about the nastiness of the same grated drink with greens (or search for what foods should be consumed when living on the sea and when living in the jungle) and Ace was the most calm and even nostalgic.

Because he'd made a similar thing for his little brother himself.

ppl on the letterboxd subreddit downvoted me and bitched me out bc i said the author of fight club is a gay man, and that tyler and the narrator are queer/bisexual coded, and that *gasp* a lot of people (myself included obv) ship tyler and the narrator

those types of ppl who downvoted me are the same who constantly bring up and bitch about how a lot of fight club fans miss the point by idolizing tyler (which is a groundbreaking observation /s), but then act the same way they do lmao

both sites are cesspools filled with 4chan neckbeards and pseudointellectual contrarian cinephiles so i’m not surprised

"why do white people dig into their ancestry for a smidgen of culture" because they think they're not allowed to meaningfully associate with anything outside their own immediate cultural context. Even *universalist* traditions like, idk, buddhism, are tainted by the perception of cultural appropriation because their most recent adherents tend to come from the sinosphere or SE asia

where East Blue is a sea of dancing and silent communication.

Where the whole bloody East Blue has dance as a cultural and linguistic meaning.

Through dance you start a courtship, through dance you can tell that someone is in mourning.

Through dance and movement a person can reveal themselves, through arm movement and a path of steps a person can reveal their soul or reveal their intentions.

Dance is something that is held in common secret and honoured by all the inhabitants of the East.

It just so happens that on the Grand Line, many popular drinking places and bars are run by East Blues people.

Even any travelling musician or dancer can be an East Blue who is looking for friends and friends of his own from his native sea.

It may be that Ace, though born in the South, grew up as one of the East, and this is of great importance.

(That's why nobles and bandits use dance movements in a close circle, and that's how Dragon will also try to understand the past hidden from Sabo himself, but left in his body and in his movements).

And it turns out that through body language and dance he can say and learn a lot of things.

For example, once with one of the whitebreads (who was obviously a spouse of one of the East, not a native) they danced almost a waltz, without touching each other, but their steps were coordinated and smooth.

Ace knows how to tell someone ‘interested in a nice evening’ and someone ‘fuck you’ with gestures and body language.

So suddenly Tatch, who had watched the movement, tries to repeat it at another attempt to feed Portgas in front of Ace, only he didn't know that Ace would choke on the air in shock and stare at him for a couple of seconds until he turns away and tries to hold back his laughter.

The food was taken then, but they threw clearly some wildly amused looks and went round in a wide arc.

Then his brother Shali explained to Thatch that Thatch had somehow managed to repeat an obviously bad gesture that meant, ‘Let's go have a snog in my warehouse’.

Thatch embarrassingly apologised the next day.

And it's worth noting that Ace's presence also sometimes meant more welcome in many drinking places and participation in bigger dances.

There's a dance in every man that can tell you something about his sensual side.

As another Easterner pointed out Ace was clearly a man who was often called to courtship, and it is a pity that such a man is already in mourning(for Sabo).

— The worst punishment for an Eastie is to have his legs broken.
