I like that I have so far been subconsciously consistent in a way in my BSD art, even if that wasn't what I planned ww

I wasn’t going to raise to the bait but eh i Love talking about this best boy and you’re giving me a reason too, so, here we go my dudes:

“sanji didn’t have epic moments”

just to name a few from the recent 20-ish chapters !!

also, if you live in a world where a story about a survivor finally confronting and standing up to his childhood abusers isn’t one hell of an epic moment, i want no part of it

“others can cook too”

oda has long established that being a pirate cook is beyond just being able to prepare a meal; the duty also encompasses inventory check and balancing the crew’s nutrition intake, none of which are duties anyone else can do but sanji. also just in case you forgot, this is oda literally spelling out to you that they would starve without sanji:

“oda would find another way to execute it”

that’s….a moot point? in fiction literally anything can happen under a could’ve-would’ve argument because it’s a freakin’ calvinball and oda is the one making the rules. oda could find another way to execute it, but here’s the fact: he didn’t. here’s another fact: sanji was the only one cunning enough to deceive mr.13 and ms.friday to give out the eternal pose. just like sanji was the one who was calm enough to attack the machinery in enel’s ark to slow it down, and quick-witted enough to close the gates of enies lobby so the strawhats could escape. that’s fact, and canon, and just very few examples of his contributions to the strawhats that are…literally there. in the text

and anyways, i’m not saying he’s a perfect character. oda is not a perfect human being, and some of his less-than-stellar (and frankly, terrible at parts) views tend to bleed into his narrative and his characters, sanji more often than most

but to argue that sanji doesn’t belong in the strawhats is a downright wrong reading of this series, because hey, here’s luffy, the main character, who created the strawhats, literally saying word-by-word how his dream in becoming the pirate king, which is literally the driving narrative of one piece, is impossible without sanji:

20 Years of One Piece

he was drowning in self hatred and yet -

god, he loved luffy so much. luffy was his whole world when they were kids. he protected luffy from garp, stood up to him, trained w him and saved him from drowning countless times. 

and even when they grew up and chose their separated paths, still he worried & cared so much about luffy. the scene of him showing luffy’s wanted poster to shirohige is just so amazing bc look at that!!! proud older bro in action!!! how he looked for luffy everywhere while he was travelling just to find him, so he could see he was okay.

im rambling but i guess what im trying to say is: ace hated himself a whole load, but in contrast he loved luffy so much - all the love he didn’t have for himself, he poured into his younger brother. and when luffy was in danger, he didn’t think twice about it.

Hello!! Dude I am so so so sorry for this delayed response;; 

TUTORIAL: REMOVING PANNING FROM A GIF

Difficulty: Medium

Notes:

You MUST have the Timeline Option in photoshop (if you do not have Photoshop Extended or Portable, then you will not be able to do this I’m sorry;;)

You should have prior knowledge about photoshop and have a general understanding of how the timeline option works

You should know how to make gifs prior!

This tutorial will show you how to go from this:

To this:

there are 724 canon characters

oda has created 724 characters with unique designs

and facts about themselves

and is able to keep that shit together

- he’s named Dracule and im p sure like half his personality is vampire aesthetic

- his name’s “hawk eyes” mihawk like he couldn’t emphasize HAWK enough

- sails all manner of dangerous seas in a coffin-shaped (and sized) boat to fit the vampire aesthetic

- the boats like literally just a chair in a coffin. there’s no oars or sails. how’s he steer? he just sit there and hope for the best? he’s got nowhere to store food for long journeys. how’s he even use that boat?

- lives alone on a scary island in a castle surrounded by blood thirsty monkeys, almost definitely to fit the vampire aesthetic

- i’m p sure it’s like eternally cloudy there or smth. whole place is surrounded by ruined towns and creepy forests and no other people. what’s he even do out there? i bet he’s reading cheesy vampire novels.

- leaves home for a while, returns to find two people he barely knows have taken up residence in his absence, barely cares

- one of the two people who took up residence in Mihawk’s castle is a guy who’s life mission is to beat Mihawk, he just lets the guy stay

- guy’s got like no friends. the closest he’s got to friends is like. Perona and Zoro who just kinda showed up at his house and Shanks who he mostly seems to like. tolerate

- he seems to find the concept of friendship scary as he’s got a quote where he says he finds Luffy’s ability to easily make friends to be terrifying. mihawk wtf

- chased down a pirate armada across two seas to destroy it just because he’s bored

- carries around two weapons, one being a big black sword the size of him and the other being a butterknife-sized version of that sword which he fights others with JUST bc he can to show off

- “you don’t need a canon to hunt rabbits” and you don’t need to be this over-the-top but here we are

- the butter knife is usually stored as a cross-shaped necklace, definitely to fit the vampire aesthetic

- fights a dude with the butter knife of death, and after deciding he likes the guy during the fight, does the guy the honor of finishing him off via cutting him the fuck in half with the giant sword

- i don’t have a way to end this list and im probably missing something but i’d like to say i love dracule mihawk

- i Slightly misremembered Mihawk’s boat. that’s okay, everyone makes mistakes, and not a single one of you corrected me. however, it’s actually worse than i remembered. here’s why:

1) i was wrong about it not having a sail. instead, Mihawk’s boat had a mast which was made to resemble the hilt of his big sword, because Mihawk can’t do anything without it being incredibly edgy and extra.

2) in every appearance the sails have been rolled up. does he even use them or are they just for show. how does he use that boat

3) i was informed via tags by many people that Mihawk’s ship ALSO has two candles at the front with green flames. GREEN FLAMES. i’ve lived four peaceful years of my life having read the manga, not knowing this extra-ass fucker has two green candles on the front of his ship but now i know and there’s nothing i can do about it. how the hell did he even MANAGE that. i’m literally so pissed off about this. how do they stay lit when he’s on the water? how do they not just burn away, does he have extra candles stored somewhere? why are they green?

4) did i mention the boat is named the Coffin Boat? that’s it’s name, apparently.

- according to official manga coloring, Mihawk has red eyes. RED EYES. please stop this man

- speaking of eyes, the guy’s got bulls-eye patterned irises? he’s lucky they aren’t red, honestly, or else he’d have two targets for eyes.

- his facial hair. just look at it.

- he’s only laughed like twice in the whole series and im pretty sure he was laughing at Zoro both times

- despite being a powerful and terrifying swordsman, most of the time when he appears on cover pages he’s doing shit like farming and hanging out with baby bears

- on one of the covers he’s enjoying a nice meal with Jinbei, and he eats it using his butter knife of death. he’s likely killed people with that thing and he uses it to eat his food

- his hat

- at Marineford, Mihawk cuts an iceberg in half. he was aiming for Luffy, missed, and cut the top off an iceberg bigger than an entire fleet of battleships

- Luffy was probably the shortest dude at marineford and he’s stick-thin, Mihawk had no reason to make a cut like THIS

what was that about not needing cannons to hunt rabbits again?

- he wears nice shirts around the house at Kurigana but always goes out shirtless and in a cloak. sailing on the Grand Line and East Blue? shirtless. going to the biggest war of the century? titties out and ready for manslaughter

- he agrees to train Zoro for two years despite knowing that Zoro will one day use all that training to come back and kick his ass. he really has nothing better to do out there at his castle i guess?
