"now you've lost the means to survive" if this is not the most perfect line to showcase nami's growth. nami's whole personhood is based on having the means to survive, doing everything in her power to survive, betraying everyone in her life to survive, pushing her sister and her closest thing to father figure away to survive ( and also save them and everyone in her village). Arlong Park however changed that. Nami doesn't have to just survive in the world, she can dream, she can have friends, she can have a life of her OWN doing the things she WANTS. And her thoughts on this showcase enormous types of growth too. "I will survive too. One more time... Yes to sail out to sea with everyone one more time" Enerou offered her literally everything she could ever ask for. She could complete her dream with him too. But no, nothing, not even gold or her dream, is worth more than her friends. She doesn't fight for her survival alone anymore. She fights FOR her friends. I dare her antis to call her "selfish"
#“I will borrow some courage from you luffy#so fucking good#I love her#she has fantastical moments in alabasta too that show her heart and her selfless nature#but they were mostly about vivid not really herself#a nami pre arlong park would let the strawhats rot#nami right now wishes to survive so she can be with them#even if it's one last time#anyways I absolutely love her#she is everything#cat burglar nami#nami#one piece#nami one piece#skypiea#skypiea arc

on my way to believing by nervermordor | g | romance dawn arc | vaguely zoluna, nami-centric | 8.5k words | complete
A head pops up on the other side of Straw Hat; the last of the fading sunlight refracts off Roronoa’s earrings, winking at her. “Oh,” he says, sounding only mildly surprised to see her. “You’re here too.”
“What are you talking about? What’s going on?”
Roronoa grins. “Yeah. He does this.”
Nami props herself up a little higher on her already bruising elbow. Straw Hat’s got an arm wrapped around Roronoa, same as her, pinning him to his other side.
“Okay,” Nami says, feeling her third headache in as many hours beginning to creep up. “What is this?”
“How he sleeps, I guess. Been doing it since we started sailing together.”
“You’re joking.”
Roronoa shrugs.
“Well, how do we get him to let go?”
“Dunno. Haven’t figured that part out yet,” Roronoa says and then, because he’s no help at all, lays back down.

Sanji is carefully placing a cherry on top of the ice cream, his hands nimble, soft, almost—gentle. But all Zoro sees is the way the hems of his pants are still soaked in blood from an earlier skirmish with a marine ship, red seeping into the cracks on the floorboard, spattering across the kitchen floor in a slow drip, drip, drip.
Zoro stares, fascinated. He can’t bring himself to look away.
(Or, Zoro and Sanji—terrible monsters, in love)

“I don’t buy it,” Pete retorts. “Someone like you? Some cook from East Blue? You’re probably worth a couple hundred thousand bellies at best, maybe a million, if your captain’s somebody.”
Sanji tilts his head back so that it rests against the dirty wall behind him. He’s still upright, somehow, through sheer stubbornness or spite. He doesn’t look like someone who only has tonight left to live.
In fact, he looks sharp. There’s no better word for it. His expression is still as peaceable as it has been since he arrived, but watching him is like watching a knife slide out of its sheath. He is, abruptly, dangerous. A tool made for cutting.
“If you knew where I’ve been, you would be terrified of me,” he says.

“If you’re looking for Arlong, he’s inside,” she says, pointing at the monstrous building. Jinbe doesn’t look away from her, from the bruise over her eye. She can’t be older than thirteen or fourteen. Her fingers are worn red and raw. As he watches, a drop of blood drips to the ground.
A girl, with reddish hair and exhausted eyes and a ragged, forced smile, and it’s Koala but it’s not.
(Jinbe goes to check in on his brother, and finds some things that need to be set right.)

There’s a tightening feeling low in Shanks’ stomach as his gaze follows those long fingers wrap around the neck of the bottle, the candlelight lancing over a sharp cheekbone. Mihawk is terrifying before he is beautiful, but Shanks isn’t afraid of him, and Mihawk is so fucking pretty. The dim glow filtering in through the windows is beginning to tinge warm, reminding Shanks that they’re on borrowed time; he glances at the clock and decides. He reaches over before Mihawk can straighten and curls his fingers around the shell of his ear.
“Hey.”
Mihawk stills and looks at him from the corner of his eye, barely turning his head. The bottle is in his hand, and Shanks trails his fingers down Mihawk’s jaw to take the liquor from him and set it down on the table.
“Wanna bang?”

When they’re on the forecastle, with the helm just behind them and the figurehead casting them further in shadow, Usopp calls, “Raise the sails!”
Luffy’s gasp next to his ear is the best part of his entire day.
The sails unfold in a great rolling crash of canvas. Even the striped gaff swings out, catching the wind. The whole sloop gives a powerful lurch as if she’s eager to sprint out of port on the back of whatever gale blows along next.
And painted on the foresail, bold and bright and proud, is a grinning Jolly Roger in a yellow straw hat.
“That’s mine,” Luffy whispers, hushed and awed.
“Told you so,” Usopp says smugly.

He keeps moving forward at a steady pace, resisting the urge to run because how fucking embarrassing would that be, running because he missed them, and as he breaks through the treeline he shouts, “Oi, oi—what took you guys so long? It's been—”
And then he freezes, because yes, actually—something is very, very wrong.
The Sunny is anchored just off shore, close enough to see the deck but far enough away that the crew has had to take the Mini Merry to make land. Scattered across the beach in various stages of chaos—rolling around, yelling, fighting—are his crew but not his crew, so similar and yet so, so different. They look younger, fresher, and whatthefuck there, on the deck of the Sunny just peering over the railing, he catches a flash of green—his own green hair—
“Ah, fuck,” he grunts, and then immediately turns back around because no, actually, he does not want to deal with this.

got all my attention fixed on you (and you're just where you said you'd be) by nevermordor | g | pre-enies lobby | zolu | 7.5k words | complete
Luffy looks again at the bitemarks that he left on Zoro’s wrist. Zoro’s usually hurt, one way or another. Sometimes it’s definitely been Luffy’s fault too, but the bitemarks feel different. They ain’t like normal bruises or cuts. There’s something about seeing the shape of his teeth in Zoro’s skin. Something about the colors, the slightly paler insides of Zoro’s wrists, and the blueness of his veins, and the dark pink color of where Luffy bit him.
riptide by nevermordor | gen | post-alabasta | zolu | 6.7k | complete
Luffy unhinges his jaw and crams an entire breakfast ham down his throat. He chews reflectively a moment and then demands,
“Zoro, you wanna have a date tonight?”
Zoro answers by inhaling the rest of his orange juice through his nose and promptly spewing it everywhere.
“That a yes?”

Luffy and Zoro destroy a restaurant, end up lost, get in a bar fight with a bunch of pirates and go on their first date. Not necessarily in that order.

“Sanji! It’s lunchtime, right? Now? Soon? Now, right?”
His legs are tight around Sanji’s waist and his arms have come around Sanji’s chest and crossed, grabbing the opposite shoulders, the whole length of his chest pressed tight and close. Sanji can feel the vibration when he talks, the snap of the rubber resonating in his bones.
Luffy’s hair is tickling the back of his neck.
The whole thing is – it’s –
For a long second Sanji is frozen.
“Sanji?”
It feels –

Despite the fluid nature of his ambition, Zoro himself rarely changes: principles, directions, appearance. And when he does, he makes sure it's under the heavy influence of both long-term irritation and a healthy dose of the nearest hard liquor.
Or, Zoro is trans, surgeries cost money, and there's little to no verified adult supervision in his life.

“God, again?!” Usopp looks down at Sanji who's sitting against a column and tilting his head back while pressing a tissue against his bleeding nose.
“Shu' ub,” Sanji growls. Or, he tries to. It sounds rather unimpressive.
“You're terrible,” Usopp says but he can't hold back the fond smile that's been blooming all over his face again and again ever since he's stepped foot on the Sunny after returning to Sabaody.
*
It's the big party after defeating Hody Jones. Usopp gets Sanji away from all the mermaids.
(Honestly, Sanji, these nosebleeds are disgusting.)

hihi! can i humbly ask for a pre-timeskip nami/(fem) reader? around the beginning of the alabasta arc where the two of them are up late on the merry and reader accidebtally lets slip her jealosy of vivi.
Thank you!! :)
Too Close: Nami x Reader
Includes: Nami , Fem Reader.
A / N: THIS IS ADORABLE. I LOVE THIS REQUESTTTTT. This is pre time skip , as the request says. I apologize for it being short. I've been extremely unmotivated recently but I hope this is up to your standards :).
For the night , you and the crew rested on the Going Merry while docked at a port Vivi told you guys about. It was cold and dark. Wind nipped at your skin as you stared at the gentle waves.
You sighed contently , a puff of cold air leaving your parted lips. You had changed out of the outfit your girlfriend bought for you and into something warmer for the night. You thought of all of the events that happened prior to you and your crew.
--
"God , it's hot." You spoke , tongue resting outside of your mouth as you leaned against your girlfriend. She laughed and brought you to a nearby store to cool off. "Now , let's find some clothes , sweetie."
--
You held the ruby jewel that was previously around your neck and smiled softly. You placed a gentle kiss on the gem and released it from your hand. It fell on your chest and rested there.
--
"Look ! This would like great on you , girlie !" The ginger said , holding a ruby necklace in front of you. She closed her right eye and stuck her tongue out , seeing how pretty the necklace looks with you and your outfit.
"Aww , you think so ?" You blushed at her words , walking over to her and placing your hand on her own. You kissed her forehead as the both of you smiled.
--
Despite all the things she did for you , your heart couldn't help but twitch uncomfortably. You felt left out. Ever since you guys came to Alabasta to help Vivi get her country back , you felt as if Nami had been paying attention to her. Too much for your liking. You weren't normally a jealous girlfriend , but something about their interactions scratched you the wrong way.
Your eyes trailed across the waves that were glimmering in the moonlight. They were beautiful. Why couldn't you get your mind off of Vivi and Nami ? Maybe it was the fear that she would leave you for her. No. She wouldn't do that , right ?
You sighed softly , another puff of cold air leaving your lips. You leaned against the railing of your shared ship and narrowed your eyes. Why did you feel like this ? Surely you could trust your own girlfriend , you thought. But something inside of you burned. The sight of them together hurt. You didn't know why , but it did.
"Reader ? What are you doing awake ?" A smooth voice called from behind you. You knew that voice from anywhere. It was the ginger herself , Nami. You smiled and turned your attention to her. The smile didn't seem genuine and Nami could tell.
Nami sighed and walked up to stand next to you. "It's late , love. You should probably go to sleep." She placed a hand on your shoulder and massaged it gently. She could tell something was off with you. The both of you had grown up together , after all. She knew you. You knew her. It wasn't hard to tell when something was wrong with the other.
She placed her other hand on yours and stared at you with sympathy in her eyes. "You know you can always tell me if something is bothering you , sugar." She spoke quietly , leaning closer your form. You took a deep breath and turned your attention to her.
"Why don't you go talk to your new little girlfriend , Vivi ?" You spoke without realizing. Your eyes rolled as you turned your attention back to the sea. As your words caught up in your feeble mind , your eyes widened. Did you really just fucking say that ?
You covered your mouth and looked away from your girlfriend , a look of shame crossing your shape face. Nami looked at you , confused. Once your words hit her , she let our a soft chuckle. "Are you jealous of Vivi ?" You shook your head and huffed. "Noo."
"You're totally jealous of Vivi." She smirked and laughed a bit louder. She threw her arm around you and pulled you into her. "You know I'll always love you , Reader. We've been through thick 'n thin together. I wouldn't replace you anyways." She reassured as you placed your head on her chest.
"Sweetie , I asked you to be my girlfriend for a reason. If I fell in love with someone I just met , I would be breaking the deal we made when we first got together. I wouldn't want to do that to you. You're everything to me." Nami caressed your face and kissed your forehead.
Though it may not seem like it , Nami truly treasured you. You were her everything. You 2 went through hell and back together with Arlong and Bellemere. You saw the worst and the best in one another. She wouldn't trade you for the world , and she now realized she had to help you see that. Her brown eyes softened at your saddened face and she spoke again.
"I won't replace you , honey. We will see the world together."
"Promise ?" You asked as tears began to prick in the corner of your color eyes. She kissed your tears away and widened her smile at your pretty face. She always adored how you looked , even when you cried. Even if you thought you were an ugly crier , she thought you were beautiful. No matter what.
"I promise."

The first time i watched one piece was in tv when i was young. I started from ep 15 or something after usopp got introduced. I didn't intend to watch it tbh since i was just killing time. THEN came baratie arc and there was sanji and i found myself obsessed with it??? Like whenever he appear my eyes follow him and i got charmed by his fighting style, his story and the way he smoke (i have something for characters that smoke lmao) i remember my younger brother also loved him and was his fave. Then we reached alabasta and the channel stopped broadcasting it and i was really sad so i made a promise to myself to watch it when i get older. Years later i found myself watching videos and edits of SANJI AGAIN and i was like "i will watch it someday, I SWEAR it'll happen but not now" (i dont know what i was waiting for). My last straw was film red. I got excited with the trailer and the hype so i finally started watching it. It was totally a different experience than years ago. The story, the characters, the arcs and the japanese VAs hit different 🤌. All this eventful experience just because i got attached to a character lol. It kinda changed my life like I DONT KNOW WHO I WAS BEFORE WATCHING ONE PIECE it became a big part of me. One day i was chilling with myself and wondering what got me this obsessed with one piece (afterall i was young when i first watched it so i forgot the reason) when it suddenly hit me and i realized that i had a crush on SANJI??? Like it took me years to connect the dots and IT JUST MAKES SENSE since i'm so inlove with his character (even though luffy is my fave and sanji come in second). This turned a bit long 😅 i just wanted to share one of the reasons why sanji is so important to me but DAMN HOW IS IT HARD BEING HIS FAN IN THIS FANDOM
LMAO you got a crush on SANJI that's so embarrassing anon genuinely <------- definitely doesn't like Sanji sosososo much to the point she wants to die
But fr I'm glad you've found some love and light in One Piece, the whole "who was I before One Piece??" like so fucking true WHO WAS I?? I can't remember anymore, One Piece is like that soulmate you can't believe you used to live without. How strange...

Skypeia thoughts
Ok so ya boy finished the Skypeia arc a few days and holy (pun intended) fucking shit did I love it. As someone who for most of its life has spent hours researching and reading into ancient cultures and religions, this arc was a dream come true. That paired with some pretty great moments of the "useless trio" using their abilities to help out was awesome.
Now the main big bad of the arc, Enel/Eneru/budget Eminem, whatever you wanna call him. I started out hating his absolute guts. In my eyes he had no redeeming qualities, on the level of king wampool of the cherry blossom island arc. However after watching the arc and thinking about it, he's kind of grown on me.
Not in a "teehee lil silly babygirl" kind of way like villains usually tend to do. Dude's still a huge egotistical ass that is literally a stand in for European colonization. But that is actually what made me start to appreciate his character. He was a villain so lovingly crafted to embody the brutality, god complex wielding beliefs of white settlers in the indigenous civilizations.
And part of what I believe made it hit so hard was his use of religious beliefs and texts. The way he warps both Buddhist and Christian beliefs (who in their beginnings started as pretty anti-violence, pro-beaten down people) was so spot on to the use in real life. Especially how he as a white European man used and warped the meaning of earthly desires and chakra to push a bullshit narrative is something absolutely seem in the real world today. (mainly white, upper class Americans using pacifism, meditation, yoga and veganism to beat down the communities such traditions originally came from.
Anyway end of rant, I loved skypeia. It had some moments where I was like ugh enough of the recaps already. But overall it was a breath of fresh air when compared to the grueling pace of Arabasta/Alabasta
(I may also upload more thoughts on both this arc, past arcs and future arcs but idk)

Part 1 of 2!
Alright, Dressrosa, let's talk about it. This will be SPOILER HEAVY so if you have not gotten this far in One Piece turn back, ye lousy land lubber!!! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!
Alright, so where to start with this arc? I feel like right off the bat, Moustachio'd Zoro got me feelin' some kinda way. I am also very here for pigtailed Franky, but I'm here for Franky no matter what season of blue hair he sports.
This is by far the longest arc I've watched since I began my One Piece journey about a month and a half ago and this was the first time since Alabasta that I really felt this show just DRAGGED. Too many flashbacks, too many episodes where about 5 minutes of actual story happened. I understand that anime often has to pad their episodes because they need to time it correctly with the release of the manga but this, as I mentioned in an earlier post, was truly a labor of love.
Now I NEED to talk about Sanji because this arc almost made me fall in love with him again. I don't know what Oda was thinking from Thriller Bark up until this point making Sanji an actual, legitimate creep rather than just an obnoxious yet endearing simp. I loved Sanji before he evolved into his more predatory self. But in Dressrosa, when he actually thinks he's found someone to love and take care of, the creep factor all but disappears again and he becomes like....actually loving and caring and kind of someone that feels deserving of a healthy relationship. This is the closest to a romance any of the Mugiwaras have had in about 700 episodes and I actually wanted this to work out for him and Viola.
Speaking of "romance," the fact that Franky brought the show's first Straw Hat kiss to the screen was EVERYTHING. The whole Franky vs the Factory arc was delightful and one of the highlights of the entire arc for me.
Like girl, same.
Now....someone tried to tell me that I would fall for this motherfucker and I have to say unequivocally that fall for him I did not. I'm all for sexy villains, but Doflamingo is a bonafide psychopath who enjoys torturing and hurting innocent people and I GUESS I just don't find that swoonworthy. The voice actor for the dub did a phenomenal job here. Every time that laugh crept its way onto the screen, my skin would crawl. Aside from Arlong, this is the only OP villain I've felt a sense of authentic dread around. 10/10 threat, favorite villain of the series so far.
I have so much more to talk about but I'll do that in a part two, but I'll finish by emphasizing how much I fucking adore Bartolomeo. I love this show's ability to initially make you despise a character only to find out they are a complete and total chad. I want him to become a Straw Hat so badly :) More in a future post!

One Piece Clowns Ranking
This is based on two merits - Clownly power and fuckability, though the order is based on 'closeness to being a true clown'.
A joint project between me and @poisonbat, who greatly surpasses me in clownly power.
Buggy the Clown (The Gateway Drug of One Piece Clownfuckers)
He’s a clown in name and in presentation; classic whiteface type, love of bold colors and patterns, showmanship, and commitment to theme (he made his entire crew a circus after all). He was also ASSIGNED clown at birth via his natural red clown-looking nose and just rolled with it as his theme in adulthood. If not for his chosen career (pirate) and tendency towards destruction/anger when his nose is brought up, this man could have made bank on the circus entertainment circuit. He’s 39 (37 pre-time skip) but wearing his age well despite the stresses of his lifestyle, so I guess you could argue DILFy energy if you’re into that I guess, even if he doesn’t have kids.
Fuckability: when this guy is called the Gateway Drug, I mean that not only is he the first clown introduced in the series and remains the only one for a long while, he also hits the necessities - he starts out as the dark horse sexyman type, goes to prison to get a stripped down to essentials look that shows off his long hair and figure for the people who don’t look at something until it’s minimalist, and then starts stacking up the memes. It would be weirder if there wasn’t a sizeable chunk of the fandom that wanted to fuck him.
And while it's still brand new, the Netflix series speedran his popularity by having him in the entire season in arcs he wasn't in originally, in addition to the fact that fans of live action media are for some reason WAY more susceptible to clownfuckery. Just think about all the thirsty Joker/Harley/Pennywise thirst of the past.
Mr. 7 (Previous)
This one is relatively new, as he only had an extremely crude drawing for years prior to the production of the Live Action series, but in terms of clownliness, he ended up coming out so clown that from the trailers, a friend of mine was convinced he was a Buggy crew member. Mr. 7 is the second most clown because like Buggy, he's almost entirely just in on the gimmick, except instead of the classic whiteface archetype, Mr. 7 opts for the Jester type, only missing the typical hood/hat most associated with them ala DCAU Harley Quinn or most old depictions of joker Playing Cards.
Fuckability: Assuming you're not racist and like the color red and want to create more of a backstory for this guy, you could do a lot worse. Pretty decent, all things considered.
Miss Father's Day
A Jester like Mr. 7, Miss Father's day commits to the mixing of that with the theme of "frog". Less traditional, but still clearly a jester, and including the hood Mr. 7 lacks. She might not be more than a passing antagonist during the final battle phase of Alabasta, but her design is memorable and completely filled with clownly spirit… and there’s definitely characters on this list who have had less plot contribution than her. She also has a laugh that’s literal ribbiting.
Fuckability: Pretty decent. She’s a near-standard One Piece woman, which is fairly solid ground - though I’m hoping that if she shows up in the Live Action, we get an interesting person under the froggy hood - and the first person for women-likers on the list, so it’s not a bad place to be. Especially if you like frogs. Cons - the 4Kids dub made her French.
Puggy
‘Who’s Puggy’ you might ask? Well, he’s a character from one of the One Piece Live Attractions. In terms of clownliness, this was a guy who got a job bodyguarding Buggy post-time skip and immediately went all in on the man’s theme, even so far as becoming Buggy’s apprentice. He also appears in the spin-off manga "One Piece Party". He models himself after his Mentor Buggy, though with a mask that contains his non-natural clown nose and large multicolored hair. His general clothing style is a bit more modern, but the taste for bright colors (largely neon pastels) and bold check-pattern still is solidly clown in action.
Fuckability: Do you want a younger, sexier, washboard-ripped, tits-out-all-the-time Buggy? Here you go.
And now we enter into the land of Clowncore - the ‘clownly in vibe, but perhaps not in direct intent’ land where fashion precedes strict function of the role. Still plenty of room to be hot though.
Charlotte Mont-d’Or
A curious entry on the list, given that Mont-d’Or wears the full whiteface, but it’s where he lives. Mont-d’Or lives in the shadow realm between proper clown and clowncore, mixing in the subtype of goth just for pleasure with the skeleton patterning of his clothes. He comes off very halloween scarecrow feeling but is still a lot more clown than some others further down this list, so points for that.
Fuckability: …there’s a proven market, I’ve seen it on AO3 and in other places, but personally, I’m baffled. He doesn’t bring looks or charm to the table and, while there’s nothing wrong with a chubby man, something about Mont-d’Or’s figure unsettles me, with his large potbelly but otherwise spindly body. So, yes on technicality, but it’s a different kind of ‘why’ from me personally.
Charlotte Perospero
While lacking the makeup of his younger brother and not being a traditional clown, his candy inspired look is EXTREMELY clownish and is probably one of the most vibrant looking clowns in One Piece thanks to it. The man’s hair comes with its own polkadot pattern, and it’s a rare look for him to not have another two or three somewhere else on his body.
Fuckability: again, there’s a proven AO3 market. If you like middle aged men, he's 50 and well. Um. His tongue, if you want that. He’s also tall, though most members of the Charlotte family are that. Otherwise, there’s not a whole lot to write home about, beyond the very solid amount of ‘x reader’ fics on AO3. Not my dish, personally, but hey, you do you.
Charlotte Mozart
Are you beginning to see a pattern with this family? While Mozart is less ‘important’ to the story of One Piece than her previously listed brothers (she doesn’t even have a voiced part!), there is no questioning the clownly energy of a woman who styles her hair into a jester’s cap. She also wears standard clown-y patterns on her outfit, though in a more subdued red than the blasting vibrant colors of her oldest brother.
Fuckability: If you like women, I think her design is more appealing/attractive than Miss Father's Day since it's a little more pulled together and coherent in a fun way. Also she's 37, so hey. If you like older ladies, that's another plus. Her face and body are fairly standard for One Piece women, but that’s kind of the plague of being a tertiary ‘just above background’ character. Doesn’t stop her from being attractive though.
Donquixote Rosinante
Maybe a bit more contentious than some on this list, however, Mimes are part of the clown family; and Rosinante is much more themed than people below him here. Like, only slightly but…it's there. He wears a fairly involved make-up pattern (though the argument that those are tattoos just increase his ‘clown’ factor via dedication alone) and doesn’t shy away from an aesthetic theme, as his dedication to heart motifs in his clothing shows.
Fuckability: high, but in a ‘most common denominator’ way. He’s a DILF in the same way (though to a slightly lesser extent) that fandom darling Din Djarin is, he’s not so ‘out there’ that those less dedicated to clownfucking (or those not adverse to the concept) are chased off, and he’s soundly average in build. There’s also a small advantage in the fandom art space likes to build off of his canon design and make him pretty. So yeah, if you’re into vanilla with a shitload of sprinkles, he’s very fuckable.
Ann
Who's Ann? Again, we go to the Live Attraction - and then to Stampede, because our girl managed to break into the Big Time of One Piece animation! While her design was obviously meant to be pop idol-ish, it honestly comes off waaaaay more casual clowncore with the curly two toned kinky hair and asymmetrical patterns and bright colors, though it cannot be denied that she’s more of a dedicated idol than a straight clown. Also gets points for originating in the same Live Attraction that Puggy did as a (somewhat unwilling) member of Buggy’s crew.
Fuckability: High, she's really cute and has a bonus of actually looking unique in terms of the younger One Piece women designs, with freckles and a different looking facial structure than the standard, even if only slight. She also has a very sweet personality, even if she’s a bit of a ditz in action. She may not be the most clown-y but she at least has enough to offer a compelling case more than a lot of the other women on the list, it must be noted.
Giolla
Slowly getting to the least clown-like but still enough for my clown obsessed friend to consider making the cut. Giolla mostly makes it just on her two toned bright frizzy hair and kinda ehhh grandma fashion.
Fuckability: underground. Even if you’re good with a character rendered in the Gonk style or her younger more conventionally attractive looks, the ‘chillness with child abuse’ is a massive turn-off on every possible level. Personally, I also find her Picasso-esque art another attraction killer, but I can be very opinionated about that, so the ‘child abuse’ thing should probably be your primary reason not to fuck her.
Charlotte Marnier
The twin sister of Mozart, she's this low because she's really barely serving the circus peanuts as far as being clown themed goes, at least in the anime colors, but even if you only take her manga illustration for her hair, her outfit is really extremely plain and a big circular fro is really, really plain, though some small points can be granted for said ‘fro being multi-colored.
Fuckability: Average, she has a nice unique face amongst One Piece women with pretty lips. A good - though not great - choice if you’re shopping amongst the background characters. She also has nice legs if you value legs. But hey, she hasn't abused children or her siblings from what we know so this is a way better girl-liking pick than Giolla. And she's on the older side, being a twin with 37 year old Mozart after all. Spin that into a twin-fantasy if you like.
Now we slip into the area of both ‘barely a clown’ and ‘surprise clownly vibes’.
Franky
Franky has the demeanor and ability to be a clown if he wanted to dress more for the part, if he wasn't dedicated to the mechanic grind. He loves bright colors and patterns but they're more tropical man wear than anything else - though Film Z did see him edge into proper clowncore territory during the sakura viewing party at the beginning. But it's the spirit that super counts here.
Fuckability: This is not a conventional man and thus he isn’t for conventional tastes, but anyone that’s into (literal) washboard abs, speedos, and massive amounts of Florida Man energy definitely knows that Franky is a man for those of taste (even if that taste is for a good ol’ burger, fries, and cola combo meal). Clownfuckers might not naturally fall into that market though.
Catarina Devon
Look. Look I know it's not conventional at all, but every one of her outfits by pattern and especially color – recently especially in the anime and she's extremely clown-y. If she had bright hair and makeup on her face it wouldn't feel like a stretch, would it?
Fuckability: Higher than average. If her harsh facial features do not bother you (and why should they, she's like a sharper Usopp) than she's extremely tall with nice curves. On the other hand, she’s always down to murder anyone she thinks is prettier than herself (and collect their heads) and she was in the ‘only evilest motherfuckers allowed’ level of the highest security prison of the world for a very good reason. Also highly implied canon bisexual. But she hasn't abused children and has a nice voice in Japanese and English so. Judge for yourself.
Caesar Clown
A very literal clown in name only, really, though his taste for patterned jumpsuits gives him a slight - and I mean 'razor thin' - edge in retaining some level of qualification here. Could probably use his powers to do balloon animals, but I wouldn’t trust him not to use poison gas in the process.
Fuckability: if you were down to fuck Orochimaru, you’d probably be down to fuck Caesar Clown, because you’ve already established your ability to love a paste-white man with long black hair, gold eyes, and purple lipstick with a penchant for experimenting on children.
Gecko Moriah
Fuck you that’s not a clown. That’s not even a Juggalo with depression. That's a Tim Burton Halloween creature. He belongs next to the citizens of Halloween Town or in the Beetlejuice afterlife waiting room, not with clowns. He’s naturally that white people, it’s not face paint.
Fuckability: there’s a small market, but I understand it even less than some of the other mystifying ones on this list. Maybe it’s a size difference thing or just Tim Burton fans doing their thing, I don't know.
Bonus: Straw Hat Theatre - Circus Time (not here for fuckability reasons but it's just cute)

Usopp's character arc between Alabasta and Enies Lobby, my beloved
(Sorry, I've been re-reading OP over the course of the past few months and his progression really sticks out... although, maybe that's just my love of him)
Obvi, he joins the crew as such a coward, we all know that (gotta love him for that too) But after speaking to the giants in Alabasta he really does grow!! The fight with him and Chopper against Mrs. Merry Christmas and Mr. 4 (and their dog) with that first instance of bravery that is really, really him standing up and deciding to be brave for his crew (even if that bravery only lasted a few seconds) You just can't help but cheer for him!! He's so joke-y all the time and his sudden instances of conviction are briefs, but they're there all the same!! Through Skypeia and Long Ring Long Land, he does at least try to fight and support his crewmates!
And then, of course Water 7!
How all of this bravery he can't find in himself, but is still there, comes crashing down, because he knows he's the most scared and cowardly and is still, truly, weak, and how he worries about being dispensable because of that. How he's the one who gets beat up, again and again, and how his strong connection to the Merry brings this all out. And although he is brave in his persona of Sniper King, he can't quite find the bravery to face his crew without that mask. At least not until he finally asks to rejoin.
It's just so good!! God, I fucking love him!!
#usopp#one piece#my cowardly beloved#and can I just say the SanUso in Long Ring... even the ZoSanUso#not my ship but by god if it isn't a good one#just Usopp's relationship with the entire crew is something so special to me#the dynamics between everyone are just so amazing#I haven't actually gotten to the Sniper King part in my re-read#but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't so so excited for it

TIMBER! The artistic Growth thing...
I apologize for the recent silence almost immediately after I came back. Unfortunately the last weeks were affected by personal and work stuff that I think no one cares about here, so I was unable to write much.
That said, plans are in the making and I thought today I would at the very least bring out one comic that to me is not necessarily wrong in the message Dobson conveys, but does after all not apply much to him
The thing about this comic is, that Dobson is not necessarily entirely wrong. There are people who believe that artistic growth is more or less developing in a progressive line, kinda artificially. Which based on my own experience, is not really the case. At least I have seen artists, writers and such, who, if allowed to grow in a more “organic” manner, will eventually manage to create stuff and tell stories with a more unique flavor than they did before. The “key” however to do so is to also think at least partly outside the box and being “genuine” with what you want to create. Case in point for me: Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels.
While I did enjoy a lot of Pratchett’s early novels in the Discworld cycle, I will admit that it wasn’t really until “Mort” and “MacBest” that I think Pratchett started to move away from simply “spoofing” the common tropes in fantasy fiction while telling a story and that it was around that time, he really started to flesh the Discworld out in the manner that many people came to love, while also giving flavor to it with his unique sense of humor. And Moving Pictures in that regard was the true definitive turning point, as from there on we “left” the classical fantasy tropes in favor of a fantasy world more akin to a 19th century fantasy world, entering the industrial revolution and everything that it included. But Pratchett, in order to reach that point in his career as a writer, and in regard of his Discworld mythology, had to start somewhere with novels the like of “The Light Fantastic” and “Colours of Magic” and had to "progressively" improve at least to some degree before reaching the point he could organically breach out.
Which brings me to the following: Dobson claiming that there is no “linear progression” at times is kinda wrong. Particularly when you are familiar with long running manga series such as One Piece or certain webcomics. From a technical aspect, there is “progress” so to speak. Look at One Piece and how chapters are drawn e.g. back during the East Blue or Alabasta Cycle and compare the linework e.g. with how things escalate in the Wano arc. Oda obviously became more comfortable fleshing out panels even more than before.
Drum vs Wano...
Another example: Compare THIS early strip of a certain internet webcomic…
With how it looks nowadays
Yeah, I know sinfest is utter garbage made by a demagogue WAY WORSE than Dobson (honestly, fuck Ishida with a broken bottle), but technically speaking, he “evolved”.
Next, let me just say that I find the assumption of Dobson that “most” people think artistic growth is “only” an artificial linear process, kinda insulting. Mostly because I think that most of us are aware that it is rather a mixture of “organic” growth and linear progress, rather than one extreme or the other. But obviously, Dobson must claim this is the “truth” about most people, cause otherwise, his take isn’t “unique” anymore and he isn’t special. Special for making a whimsical, romanticized and “creative” statement about artistic growth being more like a tree. Free to grow and beautiful to look at. Something we must nurture and care for.
Yeah, about that, in regard of the last line that reads, and I quote:
Everyone is different and everyone grows at different speed.
Through loving care and constant nurturing, you’ll always improve.
I think we all know Dobson well enough, that what he really is saying is the following:
I am different than others and I grow at my own pace. Please, I will improve if you give me likes and pay for my stuff instead of giving me mean criticism I can not stand. Now let me just phrase it in a manner that sounds like I say something compassionate that can apply to every person, hiding my own insecurities and selfish wishes.
In that regard, let me show you the beauty of Dobson’s artistic growth as of present day.
Okay, snark put aside at least partly, I do agree that yes, people are different and as artists can grow at different speed. Often times other factors, such as personal life experiences, exposure to stuff outside their certain comfort zones or even just having the right tools to work with, can affect a lot the artistic growth of a person.
I even agree, that “loving care and nurturing” (or in other words, positive feedback and support, at times, even financially) can help. But where I draw the line is at “constant nurturing”, because that feels like to Dobson, the only way he or other artists can ever improve is only through praise and nothing more. No. No Dobson, you also need to at least tolerate at times “criticism” and negative feedback. And I don’t mean stuff like “kill yourself, faggot”, I mean when someone tells an artist for example that certain technical aspects of his work, such as linework, positions, storytelling etc. need genuinely to be worked on. Because guess what? Getting your mistakes pointed out, doesn’t necessarily need to be something negative. It can also be something positive, if it genuinely helps you learn from those mistakes and improve your work.
Not that Dobson ever learnt how to deal with “criticism” in a positive manner anyway, as evident by journal posts as followed...
And this piece of “artwork”
Comic with stabbed critics
Not to forget, the person who gives us this “advice” is the same person who did not really live by any of it himself. I mean, Dobson claims that artistic growth is doing best when allowed to grow organically, slowly and steady and that as time goes on, it will also branch out and diverge.
I will say this: Yes, there are content creators who tend to branch out at times also from their “familiar” tone and style, just for the sake of creating art. Gendy Tartakovsky comes to mind, having started off in very cartoonish stuff like Dexter’s Lab and Powerpuff Girls, only to then also give us Samurai Jack, Primal and Unicorn-Warriors Eternal. Not having really betrayed his roots (as evident e.g. also by his involvement with the Hotel Transylvania franchise), but branching out to different degree.
When did Andrew Dobson ever “branch out” or diverge? His original stories such as Formera and Alex the Pirate, which were derivative of humor and pacing issues related to comedic mangas of the late 80s and early 90s as well as newspaper comic strips, were utter failures he abandoned around the late 2000s/early 2010s.
Most of the stuff he ever created was random fanart, and if anything he actually got worse over time. Having perhaps once upon a time created some decent fanart…
And then later providing people more with stuff like that, where he doesn’t even get the original design of the characters right
Even a low effort comic such as SYAC had become lazier and lazier over the years. Mostly because instead of just telling a joke, you had most of the time just Dobbear over the course of four panels stand in a green void and blubber on how he thinks certain artists or fans sucked because of opinions they had.
The most he ever bothered to “branch out” was ironically when he worked for brentalfloss, as the guy forced Dobson essentially to draw more detailed backgrounds at times than he ever did for anything else.
And the deal with Brentalfloss ended by 2012 or even earlier.
The only other noteworthy creations he made in his last years online would be the Adventure Zone comic that no one asked for (essentially turning some podcast into a comic that had severe pacing issues. Something Adventure Zone fans pointed out) and Miraculous Ladybug comics he made, because that shitstain on the magical girl genre became his new favorite.
And the later were just an extension of the dumb, unfunny and meanspirited newspaper level humor he was already famous for when it came to Alex ze Pirate and early SYAC.
Not to forget, he couldn’t even draw the characters remotely close to the show’s style, something he even pointed out himself.
JESUS! She looks like a farting squirrel with mental disorders.
Dobson himself may have hated his younger self and what he drew…
But you just have to look e.g. at his “Inktober” contributions in later years to see, how much within the shortest amount of time he could regress artistically instead of grow.
To clarify: The Dr. Who pic was in his first year of doing inktober. The not on model Gary was on his second, and the Dipper one on his last year of participating in it. And he actively decided out of spite to no longer work with ink the second year forward, because the first time he did it, he felt insulted by people actually paying him positive attention again in years among other things.
Truth be told, Dobson had all the time in the world within the 15+ years he was an online presence. And even with people like me making fun of him and criticizing his work, he still could have done something to improve artistically for the better and grow into a beautiful tree.
Instead he shriveled up to some stinking flora with a lot of pricks and was stomped out by natural forces, leaving me and others behind to further salt the earth on which he grew.
Turning from this...
to this!
With his very last project known as Cabin Rest ending up pretty much like that:

AAAAHHHH oh this fic means so much to me you have no idea.
I have finally had time to catch up fully from the end of Skypiea, and now having scrolled through all the blog posts I've had to skip because of spoilers amd now my ass has so many thoughts. So I apologize in advance but this fic has made a permanant home in my brain
After reading Skypiea again I noticed that Aisa said that the voices around Ed sounded like trumpets and that made me think about if they sound like the trumpets from 'Overtaken' because that would fit with Luffys drums. But then you mentioned the book of revelation and trumpets in that so I googled it and now I'm scared, not sure if I should be scared on behalf of Ed or their opponenets though...
AND then you mentioned briefly that in Enis lobby Ed would be fighting someone we've met before and of god please dont make it be mr. blue hair guy from the casino in Alabasta, he made me nervous even back then you cant do this to me bb
AND I just adore how you wrote g8, it's such a fun arc in the anime and you captured Jonathan so well, I love his and Ed's interactios so much, their talk over chess what amazing!
And the Ed and Ace interactions were so good I am in love, i too would kick anybodys ass for Ed.
And I am so exited to learn more about mr. Tone D. ial
ALSO Ed slowly gaining haki!!!! AAAAHHHH it makes me incredibly exited.
Not to mention the dream sequences they make me so giddy I am a sucker for symbolism (SUNFLOWERS AND ED AND LUFFY AND THE SUN!!!) and such and it makes me so giddy, I am moments away from drawing the dream with Ms. Fathers day. I am going to be rereading and dissecting them multiple times because I am a sucker for lore and being able to figure things out!!!
Also I am so pumped to see how Enis Lobby turns out, please my poor Ed has already been throught so much pain in the last chapters please let them have a singular breath I am begging
Again I have an unhealthy obsession with this fic and I love it!!!
Kind regards I will now reread this fic for the 8th time <3
Wow this is a lot pop off.
The Book of Revelations thing was mostly a joke but hey- you never know.
Oh? He made you nervous? Whyever for?
I miss Jonathan. Loved that guy. I miss Ace too. Y’all remember what is supposed to happen to him during this arc? …yeah me either.
LORE LORE LORE! I’m such a sucker for sunflower symbolism always. And when I tell you it will get more layers I am telling you to strap in and prepare.
Oml I would cry if you made art of that. Real tears.
Ed? Breath?? Ever??? I think the fuck not.

Okay I just finished reading Alabasta and here are my thoughts!!!
Okay I see why people like Vivi so much, and also why people ship her with Nami, they are extremely cute. Reading about her in fic I was a little like 'idk why people consider her part of the crew so much if she's not with them??' but no I get it now I love her. I'm gonna miss her!!
Usopp!!!! Had so many cool parts!!!!! He's really a very slapstick character and I'm impressed they got him in live action as well as they did even tho I think he was the most changed one. I loved his bit with the hammer, and also the flashback where Nami was getting him to make the climate staff..... where you see him building the hammer before hand!!
Zoro going into a fight like 'cool this'll be a great chance to learn to cut steel' HOW IS HE SO COOL AND ALSO RIDICULOUS and also is this observation haki?? Perhaps???? Idk idk. Also I want an AU where Zoro ate the sword fruit I'm just saying
Chopper is so good and any time any of the crew is interacting with him is so good. Love Zoro scrubbing his fur in the bath!!!!!
Okay so Crocodile is literally just Captain Hook with all the Crocs and the clock shots and the hook, does this make Luffy Peter Pan? Because accurate tbh
Also rip bird guy you were so cool bird guy idk your name but I love your style
Also all their outfits were so cute this arc!!! Esp Luffy!!!!! I wanna draw himmmm
I fucking love the den den mushis and also the running gag with them and Sanji, good stuff. I kept forgetting who was and wasn't with the group so when he called while everyone else was stuck in the cage I was like OH RIGHT lmao
The Supersonic Duck Squad are absolutely not making it into live action but I love them and also their new camel buddy SO MUCH
ALSO shout-out to Smoker omg I now see why people were so excited about the teaser at the end of opla, although I def agree with my sister that 'he is going to invent new kinds of lung cancer' lmao
There is so much more politics than I expected there to be in one piece!!!! The diagrams of where all the different factions were at all the different times were EXTREMELY necessary
okay so I knew from fic that Robin just sort of shows up on the ship and Luffy is like 'yeah sure you can join our crew'. NOT ONE PERSON MENTIONED THE MUTUAL LIFESAVING BEFOREHAND!!!!! SHE SAVED HIM AND HE SAVED HER AND THEIR FATES ARE ALIGNED SHE HAS THROWN IN HER LOT WITH THEIRS!!!! Like idk what her deal is but I'm willing to see where this goes!!!!!
#one piece#reading op#lori chat#and now skypiea I guess????#genuinely i thought that arc was much later but i guess im 200+ chapters in!!!
