Davy and Peter are a thing. But Peter is trans and Davy doesn't know. They never went that far.
Then one day they decide to go for it and Davy is hella nervous because Peter is the first guy he's been with sexually and he doesn't even know where to begin. But then Peter undresses and surprise. He has a pussy and Davy is actually a bit relieved because hey! He knows what to do here! He's been with many girls before. He knows his way.
Behold that beauty of his...!! He resembles a being that has only been described in the ancient texts!! The Warrior of Liberation, whose foolish antics brought a smile to everyone’s faces — also known as, Nika, the Sun God!!
there is something unique and deeply special about monkey d luffy as a protagonist. he’s overwhelmingly ADORED by the fandom. he’s consistently the most or at least top 3 most popular characters in the whole series. peoples takes about him are gushingly positive. and that’s… really uncommon.
a LOT of fandoms i’ve witnessed or been in have a tendency to favor characters other than the main character. especially in anime. the main characters are often written as a blank slate for readers/watchers to project onto, but that makes them not as interesting and so they don’t get the fan attention.
but luffy is so far from that. and he’s ALWAYS been this way. we love him so much. he’s the heart of the story and the heart of the fandom in every single way. and i think that speaks to how well-written he is as a character. he’s fun and charming and complex and interesting and he makes us laugh and cry and cheer and hope and love. he’s able to inspire so much joy in people, both in his world but also in this one. and i think that’s really special. i feel so grateful to have found this story that means so much to me, and i’m so grateful that luffy exists.
I don't wanna put this on my main, since it's just a random thought I had while smoking but: Monkees boys invite the Who lads to the meat locker.
I can probably elaborate on that a whole lot more later but I am putting this here so I don't forget the concept later (+ it's unusual and can lead to drug use and smut so it's a good fit as any for this sideblog lol)
rewatching and the way luffy has no concept of personal space within his friendships is so endearing to me. the way he'll lay his head on nami's and straddle zoro and squeeze-hug koby without a single thought that it might be too much too fast. he loves like a little kid, and he sees the world like one too - just a massive playground where anything can happen. it's easy to see why his crew are drawn to him, especially nihilists like nami and zoro who have seen the worst of people. he represents the hopeful little kids inside them 😭
