Drew more horror craft grian cause he is gremlin baby ft. His parrot ari, sorry if I didn’t get the colors right
Au by @pastel-mumbo (this person is an amazing artist so please check them out if you haven’t!)
zoro’s lifelong isolation and his unspoken elation to finally have a home (expressed by his unwavering protection and devotion). paired with luffy’s lifelong abandonment issues and clamber of loneliness; how relieving it must be to have someone devoted to you, to think of you as a home he cannot lose. even their issues & insecurities wordlessly assure and complete each other, zolu soulmates in every way
Look at how EXCITED Luffy is about watching Zoro fight, KICKING HIS FEET, he’s fully ready to hop in and take Lucci down with Zoro just for fun but he knows Zoro’s got it covered. He’s not worried, he’s perfectly happy just to enjoy the show, watch his swordsman do what he’s best at. Luffy turns around and is concerned for the rest of the crew’s safety, has to be there for them, but he knows - he knows - he can count on Zoro, to the point he can just have fun with him and sit back, giggle, and watch his swordsman beat the shit out of someone.
That’s love babes!
Ughhh... Please don't take his swordsman away from him
🙌 yes yes
Love the crack idea that Luffy's next goal after becoming Pirate King is to get married. He's never mentioned anything about it before. Nobody has any idea about. Including the person he has in mind. And it works for any ship
TW: Mentions of death
"Humans are fragile things, Zoro...".
He had known that since childhood—since the day his mother was taken from him by an illness and his best friend by an accident.
There are some things in life he could never control. There are some things his strength couldn't protect.
Kuina’s death was unavoidable. There’s no man he could defeat to avenge what happened, but there is someone he could beat so that Kuina’s soul would live on.
Then he met Luffy.
Before him, he has nothing but his swords and his dream.
Luffy gave him direction. Luffy gave him companionship from his lonely journey in search of Mihawk. Luffy gave him more reason to fight—not just for his dream, but for hers too.
Luffy gave him a family.
And he would protect them. He would give everything. Anything to keep them safe.
His strength would keep them alive.
But what if he learned about Luffy’s shortened lifespan?
What now?
Luffy and Zoro have always shared the same mindset: If fate decides that it’s time to die, then perhaps it is. They aren’t scared as long as they fight for their dreams, right? RIGHT?
But he had always believed Luffy would live longer. He had made sacrifices to guarantee Luffy would outlive him. He had made sure of that!
He had always protected Luffy with his swords. And if not with swords, he would have given his life instead. His strength would keep him alive! Luffy must live!
But this… this kind of death is something his swords couldn’t reach. There was no enemy to cut down, no deal to strike, no sacrifice to make.
What now?
He couldn't save Kuina. He cannot bare not to be able to save Luffy too.
"Humans are fragile things, Zoro..."
And there are some things his strength couldn't protect.
That thought alone was terrifying.
Luffy going to Zoro after he ate his food and enjoyed the party to sleep in his arms. Luffy is a wild sleeper, so when he spreads his whole body over Zoro, Zoro just changes his position to make it more comfortable for Luffy.
Highschool au zolu would be like Luffy throwing his legs over Zoro's lap and leaning over Zoro's shoulder to sleep (Zoro's already asleep of course) and teachers just let them be because no one wants to deal with an awake Luffy and if Zoro's awake Luffy would be too
I’m having silly late night very tired shipping thoughts.
So in the beginning of the series, Zoro was called a demon by people in the east blue. Zoro personally called Luffy the son of the devil (at least in the english dub) right before agreeing to join him.
The son of the devil is kind of like a prince, and Zoro (a demon), agreeing to join him was like him becoming Luffy’s personal knight.
So they’re like a demonic Prince/Knight ship. Mmmmmmmm that sounds like a fun AU. I wonder if anyone’s written that already. Somebody should. Maybe me… eventually, but somebody else should too, because the more the merrier.
I’ll imagine it my head before I go to sleep.
