#zosan love triangle

[zosan-secondchances]

Dear Pudding-chan,

I wish you'd come back.

I don't blame you for what happened.

I'm sorry I hurt you. I won't run again.

Please.

I need my Marimo back.

[mike-milkyway]

Zoro not falling in love usually and then getting the biggest most gut wrenching crushes on an stretchy guy with a special interest on pirates and almost immediately after on a cook with self-esteem issues.

[an-au-blog]

I love zosan and think the art made me love it even more, but if I'm being honest with myself and how I feel about the canon, I'd say there should be zolu and sanuso before zosan. Let me explain:

The only logical explanation for Zoro - a pirate hunter, who had killed pirates for very petty reasons... to join a random guy with no crew, no boat and a pipedream, is that he saw something in him. The sheer amount of loyalty this man holds for his captain is more than akin to blind devotion than anything. And the trust Luffy holds in his first mate is absolutely astounding.

Outside of the ladies, Sanji only ever defends/vouches for Usopp. Even though Usopp is a man, Sanji doesn't treat him with the annoyance he sometimes has for Luffy and Zoro. During the water 7 arc, he keeps defending Usopp even though the Mary fiascos. He's super protective towards him.

In conclusion, here's how I think it'd go:

Sanji had been unintentionally courting Usopp and only realized it when water 7 happened. At some point while they're still in recovery or maybe while they were still traveling to enmys lobby, he tries to tell him what he's realized. Because if he really leaves the crew, this would be his only chance and he needed to live without regrets, as there was no guarantee what could happen.

Sanji: Usopp, I know it's not the time or place, but-

Usopp: Haha, this isn't Usopp, I'm Sniper King, remember?!

Sanji (defeated, knowing nothing will come of this): Yeah, well, when you see Usopp, can you tell him that I'm sorry I couldn't tell him on time, but I love him and I regret only realizing it now...

Usopp: ...

Usopp: Oh... well... I'll be sure to tell him.

Sanji might have taken that as a nice way to reject him, so he decided to take it with dignity and leave but was stopped when he heard

Usopp: And thank you... I mean, he'd probably thank you. For telling him.

Would it be too pathetic of Sanji to hold onto hope?

After everything was said and done, Usopp joined again. Sanji had forgotten, with all the things that happened, about his confession. So he was a bit surprised when he approached him about it.

S: Soooo... Sniper King told me what you wanted to tell me...

U, sweating bullets: Whaaat? I didn't mean- I mean I never told him to tell you anything, idk what you're talking about. That sniper king guy probably lied!

S: I don't think he's the type to lie. He's a man of honor, you know.

U, not believe that he's getting jealous of himself: you're so easy to defend him, you like him or something?

S, with embarrassment but loving adoration: Yeah.

U, heart broken: Oh. Well, I wish you two a happy life then.

(If he's wondering whether or not to "rejoin as SK", but living a double life would be hard and -)

S: Wait, where are you going. I just told you I loved you and you're walking away? Did something happen, I thought...

U: You said you like Sniper King, not me. (*insert rant about how SK is so much better than Usopp and all that self degrading bs*)

S: Okay, okay, no. I know you're the same person. But if you insist: I love you too. Not only in a friend way, not because of your persona, but because of you. Usopp.

And awww, would you look at that, they started dating. Time passes and Usopp stops feeling as insecure as he had before. Sanji keeps flirting with women but never means it and they all know it because they always ends up back in each other's arms. But then something devastating happens. Sanji can't stop thinking about how the mosshead never wears a shirt. It's infuriating and Usopp kind of understands, at one point he goes "Have you tried touching his chest? Maybe you'll get it out of your system."

To which Sanji is 1. Speechless, petrified, flabbergasted; 2. Shook and horrified at the suggestion; 3. Kind of obsessed with the idea now that he thinks about it; 4. defensive because "my love, you are all I need how could youuuu think thaaat".

In that order.

Usopp, laughing nervously: It's not like I haven't done it.

Sanji: What?

Usopp: What.

So it turned out, that one night of drinking made Zoro almost kiss Usopp, which he backed away because he was afraid, but then Zoro called it "physical traids" which made him.confused and a bit worried that he didn't know what that was, so he said he'd think about it. Zoro looked at him in a way that conveyed "what is there to think about", but never voiced it. With a shrug, he said okay and never tried anything after that.

So Sanji and Usopp decided that they needed to talk about it with the swordsman himself. To work out the logistics if anything... What he said, however, none of them expected.

Zoro: I don't know why you make it into a big fuss. Physical traids, yeah, it's like: I find you attractive, you find me attractive, we care for each other so we make out or if we're feeling it - more. How can Luffy het it, but you can't.

Jaws on the floor.

They call Luffy in on the conversation and it gets worse.

Luffy: Yeah, it's like when I'm bored, or feel like it, we do stuff. But I don't really wanna kiss anyone else and I told him you guys are okay to kiss cause I trust you!

Explaining to them that, yes - that's kind of what dating is, and yes - they've been technically exclusively dating until now, went about as well as one might have hoped. At one point, Sanji definitely got frustrated from his own overthinking about why Marimo had hit on his boyfriend but never him. To which Zoro responded that he had tried a couple of times but Sanji just kicked or ignored him, so he gave up, thinking he wasn't interested.

And at some point Luffy definitely drops something like "I'd like to try with you guys too, it could be fun." with a beaming smile and both Usopp and Sanji wouldn't be able to stop thinking about ot for a week straight, low-key obsessing over it until they decide, okay, yes. And then they would tell him and he would just go "Oh, right, forgot about that, sure, let's do it!"

(idk this was funnier in my head)

[jake-is-screaming-in-tune]

Hello! Today I went with some Zoro, because he's my favorite. He's a bitch to draw, it's so hard. I'm used to writing his pov, and find that pretty easy. But drawing him is hard. I don't know how people do it.

Under the cut are some different versions as always, since I can't decide on anything lol.

You know what's the thing that almost made me want to throw my laptop? Doing the triangle in the demi flag. But I'm happy with the result.

As always, I don't know how to draw hair and face, but who cares!

Is it obvious that I have a thing for Zoro covered in blood? Probably. Do I care? Not really.

Close up of Zoro's boobies and chest hehe (since I hate how the face turned out).

Hieee

For the ask game!!

🌵 ⇢ share the link to a playlist you love

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love

🐇 ⇢ do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both? 

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

Hi honey!! Thank you for your ask, this is really fun!

🌵: I have way too many playlists. Here are a few if you're curious!

Vibes for Violence

Lyricless Disassociation

Benn Beckman's Alt Divorced Dad Rock Playlist

Black Leg Sanji

Buggy D Clown

Dracule Mihawk

Monkey D Luffy

I also have some for my OCs who I adore.

🥤: I HAVE SO MANY FAVOURITES, but here are a few I haven't recommended yet. Yes, Benn Beckman has my heart currently.

@gingernut1314's Confidence series with Zoro, Sanji and Mihawk (seperately & nsfw)

@cinnbar-bun's Together (Benn Beckman x Reader)(sfw)

@sordidmusings' Give (in) & Take (me) (Benn Beckman x reader)(nsfw)

🐇: I prefer writing for 'x reader', but I do have a few OCs I haven't released on Tumblr who I adore. I prefer 'x reader' because I get to include you. Feels like I'm writing a romance d&d module, which I adore.

🍄: I am a Zosan & Shuggy shipper, although I haven't written for them solo - always with an 'x reader' or in the background of another fic (When you had the chance: reader x Benn Beckman has Shuggy, Eyes Meeting: Zoro x reader x Sanji)

🍬: unpopular opinion about a fandom character? Controversial, but Doflamingo was in the right to kill Corazon. (I said what I said, but it doesn't make me love Rosinante any less) @carrotsunshine, Law never watched "The Godfather".

❄️: I love a good enemies to lovers, especially if there's a forced proximity in there. Better yet if there's a triangle thrown in the mix, where two love each other, but the other is promised to them. Dream combo would be Doflamingo x reader x Corazon, and I would LOVE for @writingmysanity, @indydonuts, @discordantwritings or @icy-spicy to take a wack at it.

Love triangle trope and enemies to lovers trope? They're two of my favorites personally!

Love triangle

How likely I am to write it?

Oh, heeeell yeaaaaah!

I love any nonstandard relationship dynamics! Tho, since I don’t really like angst, in my case it’d always end as a polyamory and start as a dorky character encountering already existing polyamorous pair, who would be open for them to join, but for dorkiness reason not really knowing how to “absorb” the 3rd person.

Maybe once day I’ll write and publish that self-ship self-indulgent Zoro/Reader/Law („ಡωಡ„)

What character(s) or pairing I’d most likely write it for?

I’m a slut for this trope, so I can’t really name characters or ships I’d not find possible to write in this dynamics. Some characters (more possesive - like Crocodile - and/or issue having - like Sanji or Usopp) would make it harder, but not impossible.

Enemies to lovers

How likely I am to write it?

Very not likely. If characters start as enemies due to the positions they are holding when they meet (rival crews, marines vs pirates), then I don’t really see a problem. But if vivid negative feelings are involved - like visible discomfort during interactions or visible hatred - nope, I can’t see it happening. That’s why I have huge problems with zosan (or kidlaw or lawlu - which aren’t enemies to lovers per se, but they are often written in a very similar way), I personally can’t imagine that.

What character(s) or pairing I’d most likely write it for?

If we focus on the first type of this trope (aka antagonist position but no hard feelings involved), tashinami could work very nicely, especially regarding to Punk Hazard. I’ve seen a lot of nice Law x Smoker fanarts covering this trope too and I think I could give it a try as well.

1, 2, & 6

1. Talk about the first ship you ever had.

oh boy, probably Ash/Misty when I was a kid. I would read g-rated fic and hope they got together on the show. it was cute

2. Talk about three of the most important ships throughout your life.

ONLY three??? hmm...

Sanji/Zoro from One Piece. This was my first BIG ship and what really got me into shipping. The first smut fic I ever read was Sanji/Zoro (i was far too young to read it. Don’t do what I did, kids. Wait till you’re old enough to read that stuff). The first ship fanfic I ever wrote was Zosan. I drew (terrible) fanart for it. I was just sooo into it and I was only in my early teens. It might not have been the first ship I had, but it’s definitely what made me a shipper.

Doctor/Master from Doctor Who. This was one I was ready to ride or die for for YEARS. This was definitely that “i will go down with this ship and i won’t put my hands up and surrender” ship of my teen years. I was OBSESSED. I even somehow managed to get my best friend to cosplay it with me. If I ever get back into Doctor Who, you bet this one still owns my heart. I’ll always love this ship.

Rafael Barba/Sonny Carisi from Law & Order SVU. This is a bit more recent, but it holds such a special place in my heart. I don’t think I’ve ever shipped something as hard as I did these two. I shipped it for years (still ship it), it’s the ship I’ve written the most fanfiction for, and it introduced me to some wonderful, fantastic people, many I’m still good friends with today. 

6. How do you feel about love triangles?

In terms of fandom and shipping, then I don’t particularly care for them. Either ot3 it or i’m gonna move on

[azuregold]

Valentine asks: just answer all the ones you can ! (so kind of all of them, but also not mandatory if the answer is just "none" XD)

Hey, this only took me…what, three days? Ahaha. Ships are hard, IDK. X’D

Putting this under a cut because I’m really insecure about telling people what I like even though I did a stellar job of being incredibly vague/giving non-answers and thus didn’t actually give away that much ^^;.

Your favourite non-canon ship?Kaneki/Hide.

Is there a ship you didn’t like at first but ultimately started shipping?NaLu, I guess? I never hated it, and I’m not head over heels for it now, but I used to not get the appeal at all and now it’s the Natsu ship I’m most willing to read, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What is the rarest rare pair (that you ship)?Hmm…I’m kind of vaguely interested in Natsu/Sting, but I’ve hardly ever seen fic for it, and never with a dynamic I’m interested in.

Name a popular ship you don’t get the appeal of.ZoSan. ^^;

What is your most fluffy + happy ship?Fluffy…happy…none of the ships I can think of right now fit that description all that well. X’D Not that they’re nothing but angst and pain, but the characters’ lives are complicated enough that calling things fluffy and happy feels misleading.

What is your most angsty ship?Hmm…probably Kaneki/Hide?

A non-canon ship that should be canon?I’d love to see any of my non-canon ships become canon—I’m more likely to ship canon pairings because I like to see it happen “for real”/don’t like seeing them end up with someone else—but saying a ship “should” be canon feels too much like telling people what to like and like the kind of thing that leads to ship wars, so I’m not going to name any ship in particular.

Your oldest ship; the one you’ve shipped for the longest time?Hmm…probably Shinichi/Ran?

What ship represents the kind of relationship you’d love to have?Toby/Tybalt. Only, y'know, without all the dangerous plot going on.

Is there a ship that makes your skin crawl?I’m sure, but nothing’s coming to mind. Maybe I’ve blocked out the memory. X’D

What is a character you can only imagine in one particular ship?Shinichi.

What is your favourite canon ship?Toby/Tybalt.

Name a ship that deserved more content.IDK. I know I’ve had the “that’s it?!” feeling at the end of something several times, but not from anything I’ve watched or read recently, so I can’t name any.

Is there a ship you feel gets undeserved hate in fandom?I think a lot of ships do, especially canon pairings in fandoms where the majority of fans prefer one or more non-canon ships (or if there’s a love triangle in canon *blech*). I don’t know if there’s one in particular that stands out to me, though.

What is the first ship you had?IDK, probably something from Disney or something I watched/read as a kid. I don’t really remember. ^^;

Is there a ship that made you realise something about yourself?Not that I can think of?

Is there a type of ship you always go for?Almost always (there are always things that can happen to put me off a ship even if it fit all of these, but): Ships where one person is human and the other is some flavor of supernatural; ships with snarky/sarcastic (but still caring) banter; ships where the love and loyalty really shines through (e.g. one person protecting the other or sacrificing something for the other, one person demonstrating that they want the person they love to be happy even if it means they’re not together).

Is there a ship the writers have ruined for you?Pretty sure, but again, nothing recent so IDK.

Is there a ship the fandom has ruined for you?Probably. ^^;

Have you ever created fan created content for a ship?Nope. Maybe someday.

Favourite thing you’ve ever created for a ship?*points to last question*

Is there a ship you’ll never admit you have?Well, never say never and all, but there’s definitely a couple I don’t plan on talking about anytime soon.

Have you ever started shipping a ship because of the fans?Only in the sense that I’ve read fics with an interesting summary and a pairing I wasn’t sold on and it was done well enough to make me more open to reading that ship in the future. I don’t think I’ve ever actually started shipping something because of fans.

What is one scene you want to see happen for all your ships?A scene that demonstrates their love for each other. Not like a confession scene, just…something they do or say that really shows they care about each other, especially if they didn’t have to do the thing but did anyway because they wanted to.

Is there a ship you wish you didn’t know existed?Several. OTL

Name a ship that ended like you wanted it to.I…can’t really…think of any. OTL Most of what I’ve been reading/watching lately either didn’t have any ships I really cared about or hasn’t ended yet, and trying to remember older stuff is just ??? Maybe Fakir/Ahiru? I mean, I really wanted to see more of their story, but at the same time it was a pretty good way to leave things?

Name a ship that deserved better in the end.I’m sure I have some, but… ┐(‘～`;)┌

Is there a character you have several ships for?Quite a few. It’s pretty common these days for me to have at least one “main” ship plus one or more “backup” ships I’ll be willing to read for a character. There are some characters I’m only interested in one pairing for (and some I don’t want to see paired with anyone), but I like having things to read, so I try to keep my options open and not get too set on one ship like I used to. I’ll throw Rin (AnE) up as an example: I have one ship I love, two I like, and at least two more that I would probably read fic for except I’ve never seen any.

What is the ship you ignore 98% of canon for?I don’t think I have one? If you ignore 98% of canon, are they even the same characters? ^^;

Is there a ship you like but you dislike the fandom?Kind of, but I’m not going to name names because I don’t like lumping an entire group of people together and I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. ^^;
