Intro post! What's up guys, I'm Gabbi and welcome to the One Piece blog. I'm bad at making friends online but I'd love to chat with more people about theories and characters, and I'm sure followers on my main will be thrilled to not see random OP posts anymore.

◆  My favorite Strawhat is Sanji.  ◆  Favorite character other than him is probably Doflamingo. I can forgive a blond man anything. ◆  My favorite thing about One Piece is how little regard it has for revenge, and how optimistic it is about people even when they're doing bad stuff. ◆  My most controversial take is that Rosinante was a snitch raised by Marines and it's nuts how many people take the shit he says about Doflamingo at face value, half an arc after seeing how Marines view even pirates who save their lives and fix their mistakes. ◆  I worship at the altar of characterization and I'm a little pretentious about it. I do my very best not to be mean to people with even objectively wrong character takes, but I am a snob at heart. ◆  I do not get the hype on like... 80% of m/m Sanji ships. It seems like a lot of them are just Sanji x Man-Who-Looked-At-Sanji-for-Ten-Minutes-and-Wasn't-Rude. I find any ship with a guy who's not on the crew exceedingly implausible, that man is gonna need MONTHS to sort out being into a guy, guaranteed. I like the gender stuff, I'm not interested in shoving it into a box so he can fuck Gaimon or whoever. ◆  I study the Bible casually for fun. Consequently, I've got a decent number of theories and hc's relating to that. ◆  I get that it makes some people uncomfortable but I like the gender stuff. I find his fucked up relationship with gender fascinating even with all the rough edges. I do not think Fishman Island is ooc and I'm not afraid of the way he acts toward the okama (anime additions excluded). I neither need nor want him to be a perfect ally who knows all the right terms and came back Enlightened™ about himself. I've got a lot of opinions on this tying in with Wano and the Clear-Clear Fruit but they're probably gonna need their own post. ◆  I personally find the transfem hc a little reductive, but I'm glad other people are having fun with it. :) ◆  I want to chat! I'm old and I miss being able to just strike up a conversation online! Talk to me about shit! ◆  At any time, you may send me a "♠️" to receive an opinion I have not posted because I thought it would rock the boat too much. I will not accept these on anon; we enter this pact of hatership together. ◆  For all intents and purposes I am caught up on the manga. The way I got into One Piece is deeply chaotic (started with Whole Cake bc I already knew the entire plot) but there is nothing you can spoil for me. I read the new chapters weekly with my best friend. ◆  Ships I like include Zosan, Shuggy, and whatever the name for Sanji and Pudding is. I think Robin deserves three boyfriends. She's earned it. ◆  I've got pretty firm opinions on sexual orientation for a few of these characters. Zoro with girls, Nami with guys, and Luffy with anyone are all gonna be a no from me, chief. Nothing Personal. ◆  I love a mean girl, I love a morally grey or evil woman. Linlin is worlds more interesting than Kaido, get at me. Pudding has never done anything wrong and she never will. ◆  The way I see it, I'm coming at this from sort of a literary analysis perspective? I'm serious about it as a story. I like the canon, wouldn't be here if I didn't. I think Oda is an amazing writer and I can't wait to see what he does with it. In my opinion, the purpose of fanfic, headcanon, etc. (at least the kind I'm interested in reading) is to weave a thread into the tapestry of canon that makes the whole thing more beautiful.

If any of this sounds like stuff you align with or want to chat about it, hit me up! Shoot me an ask or a dm. It's invaluable to get other people's perspectives, especially people who are really passionate about characters I'm not as into. :) Past the read-more is just gonna be stuff about me, so feel free to click through, otherwise happy scrolling!

Welcome to the read-more folks. Here's stuff about me that's less related to One Piece. But only less.

◆  I'm an adult. Late 20s. ◆  I'm from the US, East Coast. ◆  I'm probably some flavor of transmasc but I'm not doing anything about it right now lmao. ◆  I'm a cosplayer! I make a lot of my own stuff, you'll likely see me post pictures here sometimes with my cosplay partner (@zomboba). ◆  OP Cosplays Completed: Nami (Pre-TS), Sanji (Pre-TS), Crocodile, Shanks. ◆  OP Cosplays In-Progress: Doflamingo (Pre-Dressrosa), Renaissanj ◆  OP Cosplays Upcoming: Pudding! Got a bunch of fabric for her on clearance at Joann's 😭 ◆  My other fandoms include MDZS and 616 Iron Man, but One Piece is EATING my life currently. ◆  I got into OP after Our Flag Means Death shat the bed a couple of years ago. I was a huge Izzy fan, even the fandom treating us like shit didn't affect me. My cosplay partner (Ed) and I had painstakingly thrifted real leather costumes, we were walking in Pride parades, organizing photoshoots at cons, and then......... That. Honestly the cancelation might've been a mercy. And then OPLA came out, and my best friend (and toboldlymuppet, who publicly said that she was going back to One Piece) finally convinced me to get into it. Now I'm here.

Anyhow, I'll be reblogging posts I made previously on my main here for a bit tagged #Posts from Paradise More tags to come, probably.

the donquixote family's jolly roger this month

[its-a-seikret]

Tbh I don't understand anyone who denies their favorite character's flaws and acts like they've never done anything wrong when that is like consistently the most interesting part of any character ever

[solarjosei]

@blondmanforgiver and what do you have to say for yourself.

[blondmanforgiver]

Least he's not a snitch 🤷‍♂️🫢

doflamingo’s nemesis being an old lady is actually one of the funniest thing about him

[chungledown-bimothy]

Doflamingo lets Vergo call him "Doffy"? When he's "Young Master" to everyone around him?

Hello! Can I please please please ask for clarification on your thoughts about the sanji gender + transfem hc thing

Hi! Absolutely. :)

Although I said "transfem" in my pinned post, it occurs to me now that that might not be the best term to express what I mean. What I'm referring to is folks who imagine Sanji as a binary trans woman. Essentially, I think it's always a mistake to put him on one side of a binary, because that's kind of a thing for him. Fire and water, love and rage, he ends up on both sides of pretty much any box you try to put him in. So I find it slightly reductive to imagine all his gender stuff would be solved just by transitioning to the binary opposite gender. I'm of the opinion that, if one wants to get into trans stuff, gender fluidity is an option more in line with his themes. The rest of his gender stuff is currently sitting in an unfinished draft about his family and the Clear-Clear Fruit, so I'll try to get that done and published soon. :)

Out of an abundance of caution, I'm going to turn reblogs off on this post. Though I hope it's pointless self-aggrandization to imagine this, I really don't want it to be possible for this post to be used to be mean to trans girls who like the idea of a character being like them. I'll leave replies on though, and feel free to send another ask if there's anything else! 💙

not sure how to use this site yet hi. look at my doffys

[blasphemousclaw]

you ever see how people talk about a controversial character and it becomes glaringly obvious that they believe some kids are just born inherently evil

Dofrrramingo 🩷🦩

[dofustars]

ok i usually wouldn't vaguepost about a blogger just because their opinion is incorrect (?) but the "doflamingo is a spoiled child that lost his privilege and now is throwing a tantrum over living a normal life" is a prominent interpretation of doflamingo's backstory and it's just so undermining of what actually happened, it upsets me so much, the donquixotes as a family didn't just experience normal living conditions, they experienced the worst of it, starvation, sickness, violence, discrimination, death, they were about to be executed for fucks sake

like yes the donquixotes lost their class privilege, boohoo, right? they also were never able to live inside of a community because their name is tainted with blood, they were isolated and couldn't survive on their own because they didn't know how to, you, normal citizen, don't know how to survive on your own either, and you would know EVEN LESS if you were a 10 year old

homing tried to go back to marie jois and failed, then he just accepted the world as it is, he gave up trying to get a better life for himself and his family, that lead to child neglect (doflamingo was stealing to feed his brother because they didn't have enough food and the towns people beat him for it), his wife's passing (they didn't have enough money, or any contacts for that matter, to be able to get medicine or a doctor to save her), and almost death of his whole family to execution (also, again, doflamingo shouldn't have been the one to save them, homing was the one responsible for their lives as the head of the family)

doflamingo was understandably mad at his incompetent father and well yeah patricide happened, and then was even angrier with the celestial dragons when he wasn't allowed to go back to his normal life because of his father's mistake, that lead to trébol manipulating him more easily and blah blah you know the rest

all of this to say, the donquixote brother's childhood wasn't a "normal life" it was a rough and unfair one, doflamingo's rage against the world isn't unreasonable because he did go though hell but

where doflamingo took that and got to the conclusion that he didn't deserve that because he's a god and should've never experienced that at all, he didn't deserve anything of the sort because his superiority to humans made him entitled to a life with no suffering

rosinante learned compassion and understood that absolutely no one should go through that, those are unacceptable living conditions for anyone, and saved law's life because of that

now i could discuss their upbringing and compare trébol to sengoku but this post is getting long and i need to sleep so, yeah

[blondmanforgiver]

Yeah honestly there is no point arguing with people who think that. They've either failed to grasp some of the main points of One Piece so badly that you can't have a real discussion with them, or they've got a frothing hatred for the character that will make them both impossible to reason with and unfun to talk to. Like... I'm sorry to be snobbish I guess but this series tells you at minimum once an arc that you need to observe people and make your own decisions about them rather than just listening to what others say, and I know that so much of this comes from people just taking the shit Rosinante tells Law as gospel. I don't have the patience for it. One Piece is not subtle in this theme: if you're hurting kids, you're the bad guy. Kids have no capacity to be evil on their own, they are made that way by adults exposing them to hatred in one form or another. That interpretation of what happened (that Doffy is a spoiled brat who's just mad his slaves got taken away) is so far from the intended takeaway that I don't really think it matters if it's malice or plain ignorance anymore. The gap is just as unbridgeable one way as the other.
