The Grand Line has always had teeth. Beneath those bright seas and laughing sails you'll find haunted hulls and laboratories where flesh learns to scream in new shapes, shadows are torn loose to find new faces, and cursed bodies transform anew. Come with us on a journey to discover things that were never meant to crawl back out of the dark. This zine does not ask you to look away. It invites you to turn One Piece inside out and press your ear to the writhing underside, creating an anthology of horror in every strange, grotesque and heartbreaking form it can take. Come aboard with us. The hatch is already open, and something has been waiting below deck for a very long time.

STRAW & BONE is an upcoming One Piece horror project in the form of a digital zine featuring written and drawn works of all kinds. We're currently taking a contributor interest check, so if this piques your creative curiosity, fill out our form here!

Part 1/5

hello! I have scrolled down your (very cool and fun) blog for a while to find answers but haven't so I'm Sooo sorry if you answered this before. But I see a lot of your stories are now missing from ao3 including my most favourite story I have ever read in the world (that I don't remember the name of because I have ADHD) but it was the like 100k one with sanji moving to Australia and pretending he didn't have a thing with zoro and jinbei was his new dad and it was just. The best family and yearning fic I have EVER read and was such an inspiration to me and my writing. And I just wanted to know if there's somewhere I can find it to reread? Totally understand if there's a personal reason not to but I had to ask to be sure! Sorry for the ramble, your work is incredible and your art is so cool too, stay groovy!!! - greenleafofmirkwood on ao3

yooooooooooo, so nice to hear from you, hope you've been well and life's been kind to yooou <3 <3 askdjl you're SO SWEEEET wtf, ty ty tyyyy <3 i've defs been doing an ao3 overhaul because it got. so bloated, imo, and i don't actually know if i want to put that one back up there..... i'd write it a little bit differently now, i think?? it was my first zosan fic and i was still kinda feeling out the characterisation, and i think i'd do zoro slightly differently..... hard to know, lol! i'm thinking about moving some fics to my other ao3 account, but while i figure it out here's the hard copy: come on love

Ok, you’ve shared what characterizations about Zoro bother you. How about your MVP Sanji?

......sigh. listen, its important to note that i'm just incredibly picky about characterisations & that this is just MY take. obviously i hate the way he's reduced to a pervy punchline, that's the obvious take, but.... i was yapping to a pal about how sanji is often The straw hat to become trauma fodder & its a personal dislike of mine. again, i mostly see this in zosan but even in gen media sometimes. sanji IS traumatised!! obviously!! his canon's full of starvation & abuse & bodily alienation & shame & violence & performative masculinity. BUT. but. at some he stops being a character & becomes a way to stack every possible trauma onto him until he's no longer recognisable. & i get why people project onot him!! i do!! he's a very resonant character for all those themes and i definitely dip into them also, as you'd know lollll. but trauma should reveal character, not replace it & for me his trauma is inchresting bc of HOW it interacts with the rest of him INCLUDING his capacity for joy & silliness & arrogance & vanity & intelligence & pride. if all that gets stripped away then he's just this fragile, broken, helpless, endlessly victimised thing with funky eyebrows. at some point a lot of interpretations feel like they're just asking how much suffering can be poured into this sanji-shaped container, yk?? he CAN be traumatisied but damn, give him somethign else, too!! you're just trauma stacking atp and i'm not rly here for it. ESP around germa bc yeah sure OFC germa is foundational!!! no-one can deny that!!!! his childhood there matters ENORMOUSLY & is a huuuuge part of his character & i love to think about it..... but sometimes ppl write it as if germa's the ONLY text of his life. sure that trauma shaped him but it didn't finish him, not in canon at least. & you might be saying "but james! you love body horror! you love shoving sanji into horror situations!" and that's so true bestie, I DO, but there is a difference TO ME in how they can be explored!! we love dehumanisation in this house and i love horror & i loveeee dark sanji intepretations......... but i hate trauma stacking :( some fics/media do this REALLY well, but....... most do not. to me, at least (AND AGAIN THIS IS JUST MY OPINION!!!)

tbf i do see this mostly in zosan bc ppl seem to looooove mistaking being loved for being fixed, which ???? idk, man. it's just not my vibe!!!
