what if i bonked you affectionately with my head bc i missed you lots and i care about you even more but i don't really know how to say this in any other way. then what

makes a post-timeskip ace design just to smoosh him next to post-ts luffy...

close-ups and possibly better odds of reading my chicken scratch:

luffy helping ace learn to be selfish… pre-marineford ace was willing to give things up bc he thought it'd be "what's best for Luffy". But after marineford, he realizes that it actually hurt luffy more when Ace didn't fight harder to be with him. so "selfish" here really means like, "made me feel loved enough that my happiness was worth prioritizing"? maybe

thinking of updating my post-ts ace design to not have his beads anymore, bc he gave the necklace to luffy in their behind-the-polar-tang sort-of secret marriage vow after they both woke up from their injuries/surgery

day 7 that kinda turned into future AU/canon divergence/tattoos?

really wanted to draw them all grown up and include a personal hc that the monkey d. genes kick in at some point and luffy ends up being taller than ace 😭😭

And he smiled at luffy, like always ❤️
