If I was writing a one piece filler episode, I would have one of nami's tangerine trees grow a devil fruit and the whole episode is just the crew arguing about what they should do with it.
Nami wants to sell it. Chopper and Robin want to study it. Zorro and Sanji want to force feed it to the other just so that they can make fun of them for not being able to swim. Usopp keeps flip-flopping between wanting to eat it to get stronger and going down anxiety spirals of worst case scenarios. Everyone else is kind of just chill about it while Luffy patiently listens to each of their cases.
Luffy also almost eats it on accident several times. In fact one time he does bite into it frightening every member of the crew half to death before they notice a small chunk missing from the other side. In the end it turns out a rat ate it. It grows pigeon wings and flies away or something like that.

baby can’t see shit.
This is not a monstrous nightmare. This is a winged red lizard. This creature is cumbersome and unintelligent. It holds none of the terrifying grace and agility of a true monstrous nightmare. This bulky lizard could not run and climb and jump across an arena. It could not think about anything more than a snail. Its tail is stiff and rigid, incapable of expressing the animals intrigue or joy. Its talons are that of any generic dragon, instead of the iconic large hooks of a nightmare. Its stance is stuck low to the ground instead of the wide ranges of posture a true nightmare could take on. It angers me.
This is how a true monstrous nightmare is. Its body is large, but light. It has fluid movements and eyes that are not dead with cgi. It is agile and strong, capable of running and leaping and scaring the shit out of anyone. Its eyes are forward facing, indicating its stance at the top of its food chain. You can see the cogs turning in this animals head. Its slightly askew proportions make it expressive and interesting to watch. It is active and quick and intelligent. This animal knows and is aware of what is going on. This animal is terrifying.
Call me negative and unappreciative or whatever you want, but this:
Will always pale in comparison to this:
This is how that scene went right
"what the hell happens in sonic" think of something stupid but somehow also kinda cool. that.
don't even need to edit it this time
Sometimes I do ship something and it's not unpopular its just that fanon harbors enough popular misconceptions to make the content frequently unreadable. So I will be like "can I have my ship please" and the internet will go "sure! here are a thousand results!" and I will go "is it actually my ship or is it some guys who are basically totally different characters in all meaningful ways that someone is having masquerade as my blorbos?" and the answer is yes often enough that I give up
