Monkey D. Dragon having Shandian heritage, with vestigial wings on his back. They were too small to get him airborne, and it always hurt to remember that.

What good were a pair of wings if they weren't enough for him to fly?

But then he eats his Devil Fruit. And those tiny, dove-like wings can become the massive ones of a condor.

He can fly now, and it's a kind of freedom he wishes the world could feel

My latest order from @shandian-go!!

Ranwan dolls from Omodoki, a Bingqiu acrylic New Years stand by Camphong, a cute Wenzhou figurine, Starember TGCF shikishi, and a Hualian badge by Camphong! A lot of these were items I had wanted for a while but are hard to find now, I was so excited to see them in your In Stock sale!! Thank you as always for getting my merch to me safely!

If Croc is 1/4 of fishman, do you think Dragon has 1/4 of other race too? From his mother side? (I put bet on Shandia, and headcanon him actually has wings but kinda smaller than normal Shandia people, so he hide it on his cape)

People really love that headcanon a lot eh, that Garp's wife was Shandian. Personally I'm kind of indifferent to the headcanon, though I do think it would make for some cute symbolism if Crocodad Real

Like I've mentioned this in the past, the way Zoro's mom is almost called "earth" (Tera, similar to "terra") while Sanji's mom was called "sky" (Sora), and how it'd be cute if Luffy's birthing parent basically completed the Monster Trio by being named after a water-dwelling creature. And if Crocodile was 1/4th merman or fishman, that would kind of add to that theming, by tying him even more to the ocean

Meanwhile, Dragon's already called, well, Dragon (a creature we often associate with the sky and heavens, being able to fly etc), and whatever his Devil Fruit might be he seems to be able to manipulate wind to some degree. So if he did have either Shandian or Sky-people heritage in general, that would add to that sky/air theming Dragon would have going on already.

And yeah, it would mirror Crocodile in a really cute way if Crocodile did turn out to be part-merman too.

And yeah, it really would add to the whole idea that Luffy's heritage is a fucking mess. Grandfather is a Marine Hero, one father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army and the other not just a pirate but a fucking Warlord. He's 1/8th sky-folk and 1/8th merfolk. He is the Sun God, the liberator for all.

It'd be funny as fucking hell okay

The Palestine Movement Tries To Appropriate Strawhat Flag, But They Really Would Be More Hody Jones

Geo is a prominent twitter user who is a One Piece fan and I really think he dropped a douche with this one trying to depict the Free Palestine movement as in the right for using the Strawhat Flag by saying that the Palestinians would have Luffy side with them when in reality in my opinion I think he would side with neither and would actually punch out anyone on any side who was hurting the people. And no in my opinion, these people are not the oppressed side but instead are more like Hody Jones especially ignoring how much Hamas has on the Palestinian culture and how despite calls that Israel wants genocide that their own side has a force that has been willing to do so since the country existed. And again ignoring and downplaying how their actions are just "resisting" when so much anti-Semitic sentiment is built into it and self-infliction due to the past actions of their elders due to not wanting to live in peace with a Jewish state. Seriously, Hamas hurts those who associate with Jews or even lends them houses which is what Hody did in the story which again shows these people have read shit at all.

Funny enough there was a conflict between two tribes of people in the book where despite one group grabbing that land the solution was to go up against a single force and decide to share it instead of fight. Again showing that these people selectively didn't view the whole series instead of understanding that sometimes that the Strawhats don't take one side, especially if there is a bigger force to fight against like Eneru. And in my opinion that bigger force is Hamas and not Netanyahu, who people try demonize as being some type of Hitler figure by those who are oblivious. But in my opinion, Netanyahu has a bigger head and morals than Hamas does despite how people hype he's pro-settlement and has had actually done stuff to try to make causalities less. But with Hamas they are going all out and willing to cross lines with other Palestinians in the way. And again this is why I think that flag being on the Palestinian side is tone deaf because this isn't a case of oppressor vs oppressed, but a case of a side blinded by long held hate by an actual long oppressed group who have to live in a war zone mindset due to the long past actions of people past.

thinking about how the island where luffy was raised is called Dawn Island and how he embarks from it and 2 years later we’re at Wano where people have been waiting for the Dawn for a very long time and Luffy is here to bring it

finishing up the skypeia arc rn and upper yard was indigenous land this whole time?????? is "upper yard" even the real name????? gan fall, you land-stealing, bitchass old man. what the fuck

They're wearing ✨pants✨

I adored their outfits in this cover story so I drew them.

in opla they better cast every single shandian as an indigenous person, preferably from north south and mezo america. i swear to gods if they don’t i will be so sad and angry. also i genuinely hope they don’t throw around the word savage as much as they do in the anime, i full body cringe whenever i hear the word, and not in a “oh that’s so cringe” way but in a “yikes that word is a slur, and in this context while being said to native characters it’s also a slur and i hate hearing it”.

Got a package from @shandian-go. I got the shipping notif while I was still away so I didn't even check what was coming so I got to be so thrilled and surprised by what was in the box.

First the Global Examination/QQGK manhua vol 1 and a pin. I fell in love with this pin when I first saw it. And I adore the manhua.

The manhua extras are all cheaply printed paper bits, but they're really cute. Also please read this book, it's so great.

Next I got the TGCF manhua vol 1 with extras.

I don't need the standee or text magnets so I'm planning to give them away eventually. And of course the book is gorgeous.

I'm thinking from now on I'm going to wait for Eng release for manhua that are translated. So these may be my last manhua for a while.

Thanks as always, Mel.

Fire season is over for me for so I can finally share these last orders from Shandian GO. Most of the goodies were hidden in my fire prep boxes. I adore the soldier Hua Cheng and Thousand Autumns shikishi I got in the freebies with the gorgeous Anniversary fold out shikishi board. Nothing was damaged and the freebies made me smile! I will continue to trust Mel @shandian-go for more goods in the future. 💕

Thank you again for all your care in these orders, Mel!

Another package from @shandian-go!

A smaller package for once 😂This one has a 2ha Ranwan acrylic stand, solid perfume (peach scented) from The Palace Museum, and a TGCF Hualian badge set from Bemoe x Bilibili! The butterfly with the badges is a chain to string them together, can’t wait to get them in my itabag!
