Multiple Muses

"Same goes to you, nonnie. Look. Try writing a novel for a change. You have to write for THOUSANDS OF CHARACTERS. Think about your favorite series. If they were a multi-muse blog, don’t you think that’d be dissing them, too? Canon/OC or even both… Think about that." Leon pauses, glaring to the anon. Time to put more sass on.

"Let’s imagine Kishimoto or Kubo made their series into blogs and roleplayed their characters the way I’m roleplaying mine. Having fun and going nuts. THOUSANDS OF FANS AROUND THE WORLD WOULD GO APESHIT. But then, there’s people like you out there who wanna say ‘multi-muses are shit’. Did you ever think that it takes a lot of work to keep muses separate and distinct from one another while developing them all with different head canons and even different relationships? It’s harder than it fucking looks. Get in line. You wanna put on a fucking attitude, there’s the door. See that? It even says ‘unfollow’. Don’t like it? Don’t let the damned thing hit you on your fucking way out." He was pissed, no. Beyond pissed. The agent clicked his tongue, reloading his rifle.

Played Shanks in the 2008 Jump Festa where he wore a hot pink wig in public because it was One Piece was in it’s 10th year.

After the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake disaster Oda drew messages to the victims.

Chiaki Inaba is his wife. They met because she was cosplaying Nami during the Shonen Jump Fiesta and that’s really adorable. 

Oda’s avatar is a fish head stuck to a human body. Oda was wearing a fish head on his head during a Jump Festa event

Oda is a fan of Eminem

His three favorite movies are Seven Samurai, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Young Guns.

Oda was seen on the verge of tears (but he held them back) after the Straw Hats’ voice actors asked the audience to say “Odacchi, itsumo arigatou” ("Odacchi, thank you, (as) always!") in a Jump Festa event.

In a Shonen Jump question asking “If you could be any manga character, who would you be?” Oda said he would want to be Nico Robin so that he could “sprout hands and draw manga twenty times as fast.”

He has made one of tHE BEST MANGAS IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE 

SO PLEASE TAKE AS MUCH TIME AS YOU NEED ODA, YOU’RE A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING WHO’S AWESOMENESS ISN’T JUST WHAT YOU WRITE BUT YOU! I CAN WAIT <3
