genuine question

IDK if it’s just me but for a few months now I’ve noticed so many sanzo or just bottom zoro fans fetishize the living fuck out of trans men

like omg it’s so bad it feels like they hc zoro as trans male not because the actual care about trans people and connect it with zoros story but because they don’t want him to top and that honestly feels transphobic asf

it’s all cisgender woman I see doing it too like pls when will we be free ! Like stop this weirdo behavior and learn to respect trans people u freaks omg

zolu has got to be one of the only ships that dudebros unknowingly hype up more than the fandom itself. they are the BACKBONE they are in comment sections of every platform making any video they come across about luffy n zoro. they’re writing hcs on reddit about how they don’t think they’ll ever separate, even if the strawhats disband. theyare waxing about the essence of their undying love loyalty and devotion (practically calling them soulmates). they’re unironically saying things like “luffy is the only one who can make zoro smile that way”. they do not rest and do not falter in the face of opposition. thank u dudebros

I love how, to Luffy, it’s always without fail, “Zoro and the others.”

He loves and admires the whole the crew with everything he is, but for Zoro, it’s “Zoro, who I can trust will protect the rest of the crew.” It’s “Zoro, who the rest of the crew trusts to keep them safe.” It’s “Zoro, who would follow me into hell.” It’s “Zoro, who I trust to not let me stray.” It’s “Zoro, who has laid his swords, his dream, his ambition, his pride at my feet.” It’s “Zoro, who was first and who will be with me last.” It’s Zoro who he sees first, calls out for first, drags to his side first. It’s “Zoro and the others,” because he’s Luffy’s Zoro and there’s no one who would question it.

Me whenever i think abt zolu because my horny brain can’t sit still for a damn second. IMAGINE.

Look at them. I’m having wild thoughts rn.

it's been a long time since I drew Luffy!

I rewatched Real Steel for what THE 12TH TIME AND LISTEN , THAT SHIT STILL GETS ME SHOUTING WITH JOY AND DANCING WITH THAT DAMN ROBOT. I LOVE IT.

Zolu AU, where ones soulmate feels all the pain, their other half feels as a dull ache,

Zoro has always been in pain, a dull ache just under the surface that he holds onto like a thread that anchors him into the world. He considered it just as another way to train, especially on the bad days when the pain would be too much to move with for anyone else. Its familiar pulse helps him more than anyone knows after Kuina dies. It is a constant thing where he does not have much of that left. He dreads the day the pain gets so powerful and stops. He hopes it never happens, and if it does, it will not be before he meets the one whose pain he carries.

Luffy, wild child, abandoned by most guardians and trying to keep with older boys and prove that he is strong to everyone around him. He does not quite feel pain in the same way, being made of rubber, the dull ache at the joints, at the muscles is not something he can feel. So he assumes that he has no soulmate, as everyone feels pain sometimes as far as he is concerned. He is okay with that.

Until one day, the day Kuina died, Luffy feels more pain than even the time he had to protect Ace and Sabo's secret. He is out for days, a mess as he feels *the emotional pain* Zoro is going through. He wants to run out right away to find his other half, age limits they agreed on be damned. Who cares how old he is if his *friend* is hurting.

Ace and Sabo talk him down, but only because Luffy barely has the strength to move.

There are flashes of pain after that, but nothing as big. Luffy counts down the days until he can set out with even more excitement.

He hates the idea that he is hurting someone, especially when Sabo 'dies', the guilt and loss that twists is the worst. He also has to help Ace, who lost his soulmate, but they are young and fumbling.

When he finally sets out as they all agreed, he lets his instincts guide him until he is standing before Zoro.

Zoro sucks in a breath as the constant pain he has felt all his life dissapears, leaving an absence that is replaced by Luffy, his light and his sun as he stands there demanding him to join his crew. The idea that kept him going is real and is right there. He did not think that they would ever meet as he has wondered the sea for years now, with no luck. Not that he was looking. He knew the pain would disappear if he found them, and well, maybe it would be better if it styaed a concept.

Yet here he is, that smile bright holding the freedom and future Zoro did not even know he was looking for.

Zoro : god Luffy is so weird, I can't believe I'm gonna marry him

Nami : you don't have to?..

Zoro : no I'm gonna
