After we learnt that there were ~25 people who left Wano with Kozaburo, but that only ~10 people stayed in Shimotsuki Village, I always imagined that Tashigi might be decended from the remaining 15.
I still like to think that Shimotsuki Kozaburo, Shimotsuki Furiko and someone else (who didn't stay in Shimotsuki Village) may have been cousins, later having children and grandchildren who would end up being third cousins- the grandchildren being Zoro, Kuina and Tashigi.
I feel like it would make sense for Tashigi to look similar to Kuina for this reason. We still don't know if Tashigi has a last name, and it is possible that she could be a Shimotsuki considering her connection to swordsmanship.
It’s been almost 20 years and i’m still wondering why Tashigi and Kuina are so look alike and this fact is remarked every time. I think most of us agree that they’re not the same person, but there must be a reason why they look so similar and at this point in the story it continues to be highlighted every time she and Zoro meet. I mean...what's the point? Is it supposed to have any relevance? Or is it just used as another gag?
I just want to say that if you ever write Zoro with a child, it better be a daughter called Kuina because of course he would do that.
(Also, she would be one of the best swordsmen in the world because Zoro doesn't give a fuck about gender)
he doesn’t get paid enough for this
Every time I hear Misfortune Shop Girl/ Girl Who Sells Misfortune by Kikuo, I think of Nico Robin.
At this point, I'm just begging for someone to make an edit or something because I cannot 😭
Also listen to the song if you haven't, it's hauntingly beautiful. And watch the video because the art is cool.
Just wanted to write some headcanons I have about Zoro since they'll just stew in my head otherwise.
Firstly, sexuality:
- When I don't ship him with someone, he's aroace (he doesn't give a shit in Canon so it wouldn't surprise me)
- If I do ship him with someone, then I headcanon him as either demisexual/demiromantic or boreasexual/borearomantic.
(borea- means that the person has a set orientation but there is an exception centered around one person. With Zoro, I'd see him as aroace but then he meets someone who he does actually love.)
(Demisexual/demiromantic means that someone only feels sexual/romantic attraction after forming an emotional bond. This would make sense in Canon if Oda ever decides to give him a relationship, and I think it is the best option for most Zoro/person fanfiction.)
Either work well in my fanfictions, though it generally leans towards borearomantic/boreasexual.
Next, actual sexual life, since it's related:
I imagine that he would have had sex before but not cared for it much. Sexual attraction is separate from enjoying sex, mind you, but this is just how I imagine how he felt.
I like the idea that he tried it with a woman and didn't care, so tried it with a man and still felt nothing, so just didn't do it again.
I think that he wouldn't care for the person and so didn't feel anything (because of the aroace/demi/borea identity). That would probably take place in his bounty hunting days.
I think it would be funny to have the crew talk to each other about if they were virgins, and him bragging to Sanji (who is definitely a virgin, don't lie) about having sex with two more genders than him. That's basically the only reason I headcanon it.
Next, disabilities:
It makes sense if Zoro is dyslexic (getting lost all the time, and have you ever seen him actually read?).
I also love these types of fanfic, so I love seeing it show up more often.
I don't think he's autistic or anything else, just introverted with a struggle to trust.
Lastly, a bit about his childhood:
We know nothing about his childhood before 8, so whatever happens depends on the fanfiction and how I want people to react.
In my mind, I think that Zoro had parents die at a very young age and so lived in an orphanage that was pretty negligent because of lack of money. As a result, he was kinda free to do what he wanted.
I don't think he actually remembers his parents, and so doesn't really care. It would explain why he never mentions them.
I don't think that he saw Koushirou (his master) as a father, just as a mentor, but I do think that he and Kuina thought of each other as siblings. The Dojo was the first place that treated him like family, so he thinks of it as his first real home.
Also, since Koushirou told Kuina that a girl can't become the greatest swordsman in the world, I think that he would have a slight grudge and dislike for his more 'traditional' views.
And that's it. Just some random stuff I've finally scribbled onto an online platform.
I literally adore her on a dangerous level how dare they
Someone said that they don't know who is the other person in zoyori 😭 the problem of shipping a brand new rare ship sniff
I was just rereading Found Among The Strays, found this artwork linked and DAMN. It's honestly heartbreaking 😭
Read it if you haven't already btw
“Did it work?”
Found Among The Strays
I SWEAR I JUST HEARD THE WILHEIM SCREAM IN THE ONE PIECE LIVE ACTION AT LIKE 15 MINUTES INTO THE BARATIE EPISODE SOMEONE TELL ME I'M LYING
I haven't even updated my fic in 4 months 💀
I got a comment today that said smth along the lines of "I didn't wanna be weird commenting on a four month old fic"
Baby, bless your heart but four months isn't old by any means and ao3 isn't fucking instagram. Comment on fics you like, regardless of how old they are! The worst that could happen is you make an author's day. Writing is art, not content.
She/her (Although I don't really care tbh) I'm also aromantic and cisgender.
