Yuno Sykk at MCM Comic-Con 29/10/23 !!!

long time no crime !

"Everything just hurts so much more in this city, doesn't it?"

bro, you dont understand bro,,

the people on twitter talking about "of course yuno sees ocean dumping as a casual thing, because he's been ocean dumped by friends before, it's his way of coping" and like, that's great! that's some excellent insight! and i would like to raise you: !

yuno does not use ocean dumping to send a message. when dundee shot him in the mines, it was to teach him a lesson. when cg ocean dumped him, it was to make sure he knew they wouldnt take no for an answer, not even from him. no, yuno doesnt do that. yuno uses ocean dumping to help his friends forget. he wanted to help eli forget the pain of being betrayed and dumped. he wanted to use it to help his parents forget and overcome their struggles.

yuno doesnt ocean dump people because he's used to it himself or because he's coping by ignoring the gravity of it. he ocean dumps his friends because somewhere in his brain, he knows he'd rather forget too. he'd rather curtis had left him further out and he'd washed up on the shore, none the wiser that his friends tried to kill him. he'd rather dundee hadn't immediately called ems so he wouldn't remember his closest friend and mentor shooting him and leaving him in the dark.

and ooc, i know sykkuno seems to really just go with the flow and do things for content most of the time, and he does, but as someone who's watched him for years, i can see him digging out these old incidents and using them in 4.0 yuno's character. it's not an accident that yuno evolved from pacifism to ocean dumping just after he started opening up to some people about these old memories of his friends threatening him or leaving him for dead

Idk, men being depressed is just my cup of tea

i finally have time to redraw some murder kitties yippee

+ with their warrior names this time >:3c

old version :]

beastars nopixel save me ,,,, beastars nopixel,,,,,,,,,, save me beastars nopixel,,,,,

Listen. The impulse to draw a fandom I like’s characters as cats is too strong. And I was too lazy to make them all separate posts so here we are. :P

"If they didn't want to be killed they shouldn't have been locals."

-Yuno Sykk probably

Mr. Lang begging for a kiss, while Yuno gets many kisses from Mr. Lang.

This is the real OA and nonchalant trope 👀

(Anyway, I will be doing more!! Hahahaha wait for it 🫵👁️👁️)

fuck, man, writing some of these summaries for Yuno's wiki page is really getting to me...

the Yuna prank stream on 28/2/2022, (the one with the prank on Ray gone dead gone bad gone sad), has some really sad moments at the end with April :(

here's an extract so it can hit you in the feels too:

... Now, Yuno truly feels as if X and Marty (part of his own squad!) don't trust him, and it hurts even more because CG have been nothing but honest and lenient with him. Yuno knows they've lied a lot on other occasions too, over the past few months, and he excused it before as them trying to protect him as they knew he didn't want to be involved, but he's starting to question whether that's just copium. Yuno thought they were friends, but why else would they lie to him – what if they just don't like him anymore? Yuno has never truly snitched to CG on them before: every time he's hinted anything, CG has already known, but GG have blamed him anyway.

He confesses these feelings to April later, taking her aside at Bubbles' party to sit together in a corner, and asks for advice. April suggests that although everyone does love Yuno, maybe they don't fully trust him because he's 'in the middle' like that in the first place.

When April says this, Yuno gets up and starts backing away, asking in a small voice if that means that even she doesn't really trust him, and he thanks her for being honest with him at least, because that's more than his boys gave him; and then he runs away before she can respond. You can hear his heart break in his voice: even April, with whom he promised to be friends with no matter what happens between their respective gangs, thinks that he's someone whom no one could trust. Yuno runs far and and hides behind some bins, managing to lose April who runs after him and calls for him to come back. He doesn't answer his phone when she calls either, simply going home to be alone.

Yuno doesn't even go home to the manor, feeling adrift from the people who are usually his home. Instead, he goes to sleep by some bins on the side of the road, feeling stressed, overwhelmed and alone.

One Piece NoPixel

Ever since the 4.0 launch of NoPixel (a private GTA Online roleplay server), my husband and I have become OBSESSED with the Yuno Sykk storyline going on.

Considering Sykkuno has been streaming NoPixel for roughly 8hrs every day, there's no way I can fully keep up, so my insomniac husband tends to give me recaps the following day. As he's telling me the story and is trying to get me to understand the relationship ties between characters I had an epiphany: Yuno is just Luffy from One Piece.

People already joke that Sykkuno has "plot armor" and is the "main character", so his GTA character Yuno being Luffy already kind of fits. Plus, both Yuno and Luffy are ADHD/Autistic balls of chaos that are also unintentionally beams of charisma that attracts just about everyone to their side. It doesn't matter how insane the plan is, if Luffy/Yuno says it people will follow through. You also have the fun of wondering if Luffy/Yuno is just insane with godly amounts of luck that allows their plan to work out, or if they are secretly geniuses that had already calculated everything in the background and the plan worked because of that discrete planning (or if it's a happy combo of the two). Luffy and Yuno are both almost impossibly optimistic and goofy, and people INSTANTLY know to take these boys seriously the second they become serious. If Luffy/Yuno stop smiling, you KNOW shit is about to go down! Also, Luffy/Yuno is INSANELY loyal and protective of his found family. On multiple occasions, Yuno has been informed that if he were to betray the speaker that would kill their last bit of faith in humanity, because if they know ANYTHING it's that Yuno doesn't lie and doesn't betray. Much like Luffy.

OK, so Yuno Sykk is Monkey D. Luffy (If Yuno's name wasn't just Sykkuno's I wouldn't be surprised if he had included the D. initial).

I then thought about those around Yuno. While the personalities don't work one-to-one, my husband and I were able to map a lot of Yuno's friends onto Luffy's simply based on relationship ties.

First is obvious. Yuno, through the 3.0 adoption chaos, ended up the adopted grandson of cop (and eventual Police Commissioner) Sam Baas. So, Baas is Garp. The fish-name connection is just a bonus.

Next up is the inspiration to both start an illegal lifestyle and to become the best possible at it. A pseudo-father-figure and mentor. The man whose blessings and pride in Luffy/Yuno is just about everything to the boy: Lang Buddha as Yuno's Shanks.

Luffy/Yuno couldn't get as far as he does without his true ride-or-die. The man who is loyal to a fault. Who will gladly give his life to not only save his best friend and brother, but also to simply lift him higher, if that's what's requested of him. A man who will smile as he participates in mass murder, and whose homicidal tendencies are surprisingly calmed when around Luffy/Yuno: Raymond Romanov as Yuno's Roronoa Zoro

The personalities don't really match, and YMMV when it comes to this ship, but 4.0 brought about Yuno's "relationship arc". This introduced us to a woman that Yuno loves spending time with, is very protective of, and joys in making her smile. She is there to comfort Yuno, but understands that he needs to do things his way and on his own sometimes. Yuno keeps saying that they're only best friends, and that may be true. He may honestly have no romantic interest in her, despite her obvious romantic interest in him. Even so, she's His Person and he wants to be with her and protect her as much as possible. If there's one person that Luffy/Yuno cares about that you DO NOT mess with, it's her. Ladies and gents, meet Yuno's Nami: Lottie Mae

On the flipside, we have a woman who started off as an enemy, but was instantly charmed by the lengths Yuno would go to in order to help someone that had threatened him. Someone who has family who viciously protects her. Someone who is completely smitten despite Yuno not really giving as many "I want to be in a romantic relationship" vibes as he does with Lottie. Someone who clearly has a jealous streak to her. The main person people seem to ship with Luffy/Yuno behind Nami/Lottie. Our own Tsundere Queen: Gigi Costello as Yuno's Boa Hancock

Next up is a man who is a more serious leader who doesn't approve of Luffy/Yuno's shenanigans, but he also can't deny the results, so he begrudgingly gives Luffy/Yuno free rein. He still tries to talk some sense into Luffy/Yuno and his friends, and they do listen to him on occasion, but those moments are few and far between. He also can't ignore Luffy/Yuno's charisma, and, in spite of himself, he's equally drawn in to the King of Chaos. Congratulations, Tommy T. You are Yuno's Trafalgar Law.

We then have someone who is older. Someone who is a bit of a mentor, but also would gladly follow Luffy/Yuno. Someone who was once a leader himself, but has since disbanded his own crew (or, at least, left them). Someone who is incredibly protective of Luffy/Yuno, but also understands that the kid can hold his own (for the most part). Someone who can't fathom Luffy/Yuno ever betraying anyone. Someone who is a master a steering??? This one is a little bit of a stretch, but my husband believes that Tony Corleone is Yuno's Jimbe.

Finally, we have someone who is a pseudo-ally to Luffy/Yuno, almost begrudgingly. Someone whose goals differ from Luffy/Yuno's and those differing goals caused tension for a bit before the two decided to break off from each other. Someone who has a sort of 1920s gangsta vibe with his underground gambling and mob-like connections. A man whose main goal deep down is to find a family of his own. Marty Banks as Yuno's Capone Bege

My husband also thinks that Benji Ramos would be Yuno's Sanji, mostly due to the incessant flirting with little-to-no success. Also, Mickey Sinclaire as Usopp due to Mickey being a cowardly schemer and master liar. I'm still on the fence for both of those. This list was largely mapping parallels on how these characters relate to Luffy vs how they relate to Yuno. The Benji and Mickey parallels are more about their personalities pairing with One Piece characters.

I think that will have to be a different list, though.

So, NoPixel/One Piece fans, what do you think? Does this work? Would you have picked other character parallels? Are there others we didn't think of?
