thinking of how absolutely buckwild hilarious it would be if the last fraying thread of Oda’s fucks finally snapped and he just legit got Zoro and Sanji together, canonically, on panel, and was like “that’s right, assholes, it was all foreshadowing! all the Kuina parallels, Sanji getting upset that Zoro wouldn’t want to mess around with him in Nami’s body, the whole ‘take me out if my Germa genes take over’ thing, the ‘being queer is living authentically’ thing, even the bit where they first met and Sanji begs Zoro to let go of his dream and survive–all of it! fuck all y’all I’m outta here tip your waitresses” and then never answered another question about it again

alternately I would also accept if in the Obligatory Shounen Timeskip Epilogue we find Zoro, like 45 years old, in the middle of an absolute sea of enemies, having a squabbling conversation via Den-Den Mushi with his wife about groceries or something (continuing the “Zoro dresses and talks like an old working-class Japanese guy from a small rural village” thing he’s got going on), and then it cuts to his wife and it’s Sanji, transitioned and rocking it, in the middle of her own absolute sea of enemies, also kicking ass, as Oda drops the trans!Sanji bomb and the Zoro/Sanji bomb simultaneously and then vanishes into the night

(also it turns out that they’re embarrassingly in love too in that “middle-aged couple in a shounen manga” way. Like Zoro is whipped as fuck—except when it comes to their rivalry of course—and pouts if he doesn’t get welcome home kisses. Sanji always has her arm in the crook of his elbow when they’re out in public together unless they’re actively sparring at that precise moment. That kind of shit)

I have this idea for an AU wherein Sanji’s physical Germa modifications kick in during his time starving on the rock, and when he’s like 14 Judge finds out and decides to take him back by force, because if the physical modifications took then surely the mental ones will too and if not there’s always psychological conditioning like what he did to Reiju, right? So Germa rocks up to the Baratie, burns it to the waterline, slaughters the crew (almost) to a man, and drags Sanji back. they don’t realize that Zeff survives, and they probably wouldn’t care if they did. (more fool them)

the mental modifications never kick in, but Sanji learns to act like they do, developing this false persona as a vicious shallow hedonist. he also leans hardcore on his growing resemblance to Sora to get Judge to indulge his whims (no, there’s nothing actually sexual about it, but it is deeply uncomfortable and it’s supposed to be). this is because he’s waiting for a very specific kind of opportunity…..

Sanji, allosexual lifetime sailor: people are fwb at sea all the time without it actually meaning anything except an expression of sexual needs. if you sleep with someone on land, that means you’re actually attracted to them. I would never admit to myself that I’m attracted to a guy unless I was legitimately in love with him. Therefore, by asking Marimo to get a hotel room with me I’m declaring that I want to start seeing each other seriously.

Zoro, demisexual born and raised on land: fwb are fwb and lovers are lovers, no matter where your location is. there’s no such thing as “sexual needs” separate from attraction. I know Curly is attracted to me, otherwise he never would’ve approached me sexually. he’ll never love me back, but I’ll take fwb over nothing at all. by asking me to get a hotel room Curly means he wants to have sex with me in a hotel room.

Maybe in a Doylistic sense it’s just Oda getting worse, but tbh I think Sanji’s over the top post-timeskip behavior is a terrified reaction to having just spent two years on Transfem Island and then abruptly remembering that his father claimed that he would kill himself if he ever saw Sanji act in a gender nonconforming manner

and you know Zeff would be fucking devastated if he ever found out how much harm that one shitty joke did. how much harm it did to Sanji, to Sanji’s ability to relate to people, to the rest of the Straw Hats, to every woman and trans man and drag queen and enby Sanji has ever met. it would destroy him. and he will probably never find out.

the axe forgets. the tree remembers. and so do those the tree strikes as it falls.

sanji, realizing at 3 am that zoro can grow extra arms out of his soul with pure willpower:

now I’m just picturing the “we have to do the do to make asura form go away” zosan plot but it’s Sanji with his screwed up narratives about sexuality being all “oh no…. I am going to need to be Ravished by the thing inside my male crewmate….this Can’t Be Helped so it’s not my fault that I’m having sex with a man…. a Forceful Wild Demonic Creature….sure hope this doesn’t have already awakened something in me” and them they get into it and Zoro is just “are you comfortable? do you want me to get you anything? is there a draft? I think there’s a draft. we’re not going too fast, are we? I’d better slow down. are you absolutely sure you’re okay with this? positive? let me know the second you feel uncomfortable, ok?”

had a dream about a nonexistent 90s Western mecha anime made to capitalize on the popularity of Voltron

it was themed after the Western Zodiac, with every pilot in their own mecha, and it was way more well-written than it had any right to be, especially for its time, with characters such as

  • the Aries pilot, the youngest of the group, a shy Latina woman in her late teens who loves art and vintage pinball machines
  • the Gemini pilot, a good-hearted man with gentle affect, and his psychic parasitic twin, a cold-blooded sadist who legitimately murders the Scorpio pilot by shooting his helmet off in the first season finale in a scene that’s a reference to the fable of the scorpion and the frog, and then the early second season revolves around putting them on trial and debating how much the good twin should suffer for the evil twin’s crimes
  • the Leo pilot, a big burly loud hairy man in his 40s who really leaned into the lion motif by being kind of lazy and really liking strong competent women
  • the Libra pilot, a genderless android and the first non-organic being to drive a Zodiacal mech, who feels it is their duty to uphold balance but has bizarre interpretations of what that means
  • the Capricorn pilot, who upholds the “horny old goat/satyr trickster mentor” archetype (as much as anyone could on a cartoon aimed at kids), except she’s a woman. I cannot stress how revolutionary the show was considered (in the timeline of my dream) for having a grey-haired woman in late middle age fighting in robot wars and getting all G-rated thirsty over handsome young men
  • the Pisces pilot and team leader, an experimental human/fish hybrid who was legitimately hideous and whose character arc discussed the difficulty of being an ugly and/or disfigured woman in a lookist culture (as well as containing thinly-veiled metaphors for how the queer conception of attractiveness differs from the mainstream conception. again this show supposedly came out in the 90s).
  • (also the “sixth ranger” character, the Ophiuchus pilot (”Daniel”) and his mechanic/best friend/guy in the chair (“Hank”), were thinly-veiled expies of Solid Snake and Otacon, and somebody on the writing staff took the opportunity to make all of their interactions as “90s cartoon gay” as they possibly could)

sanji asks robin (as the only other transfem on the crew) to come with her to shop for clothing for femme days and this somehow snowballs into the entire rest of the crew tagging along

Sanji asks Robin. Robin mentions it to Franky, who just assumes that he’d be coming along. Franky mentions it to Usopp, who corners Sanji all like “what? every other trans Straw Hat on the ship right now is going on a shopping spree for you without me? me, your best friend?? how dare?? how very dare???

then Nami appears out of nowhere, summoned by the words “shopping spree”, and when Sanji stammers that she didn’t think anyone else would want to come Nami just says “San-chan,” (this is a nickname that she’s started using on Sanji’s femme days that absolutely hits Sanji’s weak spot for massive mellorine damage) “why do you think I wouldn’t want to not only help my crewmate in her time of vulnerability but do so by buying a whole new wardrobe with her money?”  and by the time Sanji stops noodling on the floor she’s already enlisted Chopper and Jinbei to help carry their bags. this is the point where it reaches Adventure Critical Mass and Luffy becomes subsumed into the trip planning without so much as a by-your-leave.

at breakfast the next morning Brook pulls a fistful of beri out from his skull compartment and jams them into the Panty Jar and since he’s actually been good about not making inappropriate underwear jokes for weeks now there’s a general murmur of confusion. “well, it’s preemptive!” Brook explains. “just in case!”

“preemptive for what?” says Zoro.

“oh, the shopping trip for Sanji! It’s going to be hard to buy panties without ever mentioning them, you know!”

“you are not coming on the underwear portion of this trip,” says Nami.

“when are we leaving?” says Zoro.

there is a silence. “marimo,” says Sanji, “you hate clothes.”

“yeah. when are we leaving?” says Zoro.

Anonymous asked:

dude i love your genderfluid sanji hc's so bad and im delighted to see your transfem robin hc in addition,,,, can i hear more abt transfem robin plspls 👀👀

oho! transfem robin you say???

well tbh my headcanon isn't based on much in particular so much as it just...seems correct to me (possibly because she reminds me of my own transfem fiancee??). just... like... in the way she carries herself, you know? transfem swag.

also, like, she spent so long with only herself to depend on, reforged herself from the ashes of her homeland, and there's such poetry in the idea that she created and mastered her own body in a way that she could not create or master her reputation or her fate. there's poetry in the idea of a trans woman's body taking up so much space, in the idea of it being something that blossoms like a flower.

(frankly it's also because she shows off her legs a lot and that's a body feature that trans women reportedly often take pride in)
