Another reason to hate the movie "Red" (and there are many of them!) The fact is that before the release of this movie, Shanks was a father figure to Luffy (as much as possible for a pirate who can't devote himself to raising a child, but let's face it, he's better at it than a Dragon). In the manga, Luffy even confessed that he sees him as a father, and you can see why. But in this movie, Shanks was presented as just a disgusting example of a parent and, in general, a man without a brain, which he never was. It is simply impossible to imagine such a person treating a child the way he treated Utah - there is no logic or sense in these actions.
And Utah… a character who was never needed in this story. To be honest, their parenting relationship with Luffy was pretty good - logically justified by the distance, but at the same time expressing concern for each other. They are looking for information about each other, enjoying the news and looking forward to the meeting that will take place in the near future. And you're saying that a man like Shanks, who followed Luffy's progress, protected him from a distance, and devoted his life to fulfilling the promise and dream of the guy he'd been with for a couple of months, at the same time completely abandoned caring for the girl he'd raised since infancy and named his daughter? Just left her in the dark with the first person she met, made her hate herself, did nothing to solve her problem, and just waited for everything to sort itself out? This film portrayed Shanks as a man who dropped the ballast in the form of a daughter to "better times." In my opinion, this is the worst of One Piece films just because of that. Because my favorite hedkanon is that he acts as a father figure to Luffy, who has never had a worthy example in front of his eyes (hello, Dragon, and fuck you)
Zosan fics be like (part 2)
Elaborated thoughts and fic names under the cut
Cat fic - stay by itsmylifekay
Probably just my favorite cat zoro fic I’ve read, very cute, and as all cat fics do, gives me a heart attack by letting the catified person drink alcohol(never give cats alcohol it is incredibly toxic)
Wado fic - precious thing by hllfire
I love this fic it’s a really cool take on how bonding with the swords works and also how sanji bonding with wado would effect things, I also just love wado being able to communicate and kinda pushing them along
King/god zoro fic
This one isn’t a specific one sadly but I’ve read like 3 of these and can probably track them down again if any of y’all want
Soulmates fic - learning to listen by three_days_late
I’m usually pretty neutral on soulmate fics but I like this one because zoro pretty much immediately fucks himself over with it and they have to pull back from that
Unprompted proposal fic - firestarters by adietxt
This one is short but sweet, zoro starts saying what’s on his mind not realizing he’s literally just proposing out of nowhere
Little sanji fic - to you, formerly me by Trixtree
This one isn’t a zosan fic but I’m including it because I adore it. I see a lot of zosan fics where sanji gets reverted to baby sanji and gets attatched to zoro(which are fine but not my favorite) but never any where adult sanji gets to stay and interact with baby sanji which they go into with this one,, they do some really cool stuff with seeing how it effects both Sanji’s and the crew by extension
has this been done before
I had this dream I was watching the first episode of One piece and it cut to this scene of Shanks showing Benn what he taught Luffy to say and
she let me hit because i care for all creatures in the forest great and small
I hope everything you ever loved and created gets stolen from you and pissed on. You have nothing to stand for, so shut your mouth.
Same fucking idiot who voted their rights away get a fucking life smh.

I need to be put down immediately
Today is my birthday, and if any of you want to share in the celebrations I have one request of you: please go read one of my favorite fics!! I want to use today as an opportunity to share some of the best OP fics I've had the privilege of reading and hopefully send some love the way of my favorite authors 🥰🥰 Please note this is by no means an exhaustive list, and you should absolutely check out everything else they all have written because it really is all wonderful.
Pain Management by @thus-spoke-lo (Law x Reader)
The fic that started my Law obsession. Absolutely amazing work, beautiful beyond words. When I first started reading it I absolutely could NOT put it down, I stayed up until 4am devouring every word.
Let Me Help by @thus-spoke-lo (Sanji x Reader)
I can't get enough of Sanji and voyuerism. Hot as hell, and I absolutely love Reader being as big of a pervert as Sanji is.
Exhibitionism by @fanaticsnail (Law x Reader)
Genuinely think this fic changed my brain chemistry. I'm not normally one for exhibitionism but holy SHIT did this fic make me reconsider.
Acid, Salt, Fat and Heat by @fanaticsnail (Kid x Reader x Killer)
Oohhh my god. One of the hottest fics I've ever read, and the one that I think made me really get Kid and Killer, if that makes sense.
1-800-LONELYCHEF by @shy-writer-999 (Sanji x Reader)
One of my favorite Sanji fics of all time (which is a very high bar)! Wonderfully hot and angsty with excellent payoff, and Sanji is perfectly characterized.
Sanji w/ Mutual Masturbation, Praise, + Pillow Humping by @shy-writer-999
I need him BIBLICALLY. All of Z's Kinktober is phenomenal, but this one in particular makes me lose my goddamn mind. I wish I had better words to describe it, but it literally leaves me speechless.
The Great Pretender by @pandora-writes-one-piece (Law x Reader)
The entire Meet Cute series is amazing, but Law's really holds a special place in my heart. I'm really fond of fake dating, and Pandora is absolutely amazing at writing the tension that comes with it. It also doesn't hurt that Doflamingo is being a hot villain in the background for a lot of it.
Rulebreaker by @pandora-writes-one-piece (Law x Reader)
Another fantastic Law story, and one I'm deeply fond of. We could all use a little (or a lot) of tough love from Law.
Passing Fascination by @quinloki / @punks-never-die205 (Kid x Reader)
First off: not for the faint of heart, I am not joking, please read the tags. But for those of you down for something fucked up: please please PLEASE read this. It's wonderfully tense and thrilling and hot in all of the right ways.
Birthday Request - Caught in the Act by @quinloki (Kaku x Reader)
Once again: mind the tags. I genuinely find myself thinking about this fic on the regular. It's the perfect storm of Things Froggie's Into, I'm SUCH a sucker for yandere.
I'll Fucking Digest You One Kiss At A Time by @strawberriemarswrites (Bartolomeo x Reader)
Another one where I beg of you, please check the tags first! I'm very much a yandere fan, and a very big fan of Bartolomeo, who I would argue is CRIMINALLY underrated. This fic is an absolute masterpiece exploring him, the line between obsession and love, and the consequences when that line gets crossed.
This scene we all know, where Sanji kicks Luffy, speaks to me in a very deep way.
While of course, Sanji's goal was to hopefully push Luffy away, and put his life as a member of the Straw Hat crew behind him for good, this scene particularly shows us just how much hatred Sanji held towards himself. His captain knows this, hence his quote:
"No matter how much you kick me, you're the one getting hurt."
The way he speaks to Luffy, slowly more agitated with his kicks and facial expressions, tells us something important.
"Go away." "Get out of my sight." "Get out of my face, now!"
Can easily be classified as Sanji talking to himself and the shame he felt, placed back into the core of his trauma, surrounded by his abusers.
Sanji was kicking himself.
If I counted correctly, Sani kicks Luffy a total of 61 times, including his final blow, which is not shown in this clip. I've written extensively before about how well Oda writes about trauma, and how he implements buddhist philosophy into his works.
This is just my own obsession, reading into things. However, in the Dhammapada, a collection of the Buddha's teachings, verse 61 tells us the following:
"If a person seeking a companion cannot find one who is better than or equal to him, let him resolutely go on alone."
Sanji was drowning in shame and trauma over being surrounded by his abusers again, and he tried to walk the path alone, convincing himself it was the right thing to do. To sacrifice himself.
Luffy did not fall for it, and accepted every blow, emphasizing how Sani truly hated himself, as victims of abuse regularly do.
This scene is immensely powerful for that reason.
