Stahpp This Is So Sweet - Tumblr Posts

This is an appreciation post <3

I just wanted to thank you all lovely people for your comments (be it in reblogs, tags etc.), you all make me smile and feel very warm in my heart, especially you @mochiajclayne and @lutorao! But honestly I cherish all of you, even if you just reblog everything quietly. Without all of your support and excitement I doubt my posts would even get written and would just stay in my head forever. And trust me, I know it, I tried before to share stuff on One Piece discord, One Piece reddit, and it's just not working. Tumblr is such a beautiful place, really.

Special shoutout to @cooknumber3 because the feeling's mutual! Whenever I see your comments in tags it makes me smile and your last reblog pushed me to write this post actually. Please rest assured, it's really not just your fanfic brain making you see things that aren't there. Actually, One Piece is a disgustingly sweet story about love. Do not, by any circumenstance, trust Oda when he says he sucks at writing romance. The way he portrays love, no matter if it's romantic or not, is so, so adorable and One Piece is just full of it. Full to the brim! And Oda is a troll. So when you see signs of love between characters and think to yourself "no way, I must be delusional, this can't be true. it's just a shonen manga after all. I must be projecting what I want to see myself", it's actually the opposite: you caught a glimpse of a secret treasure hidden in the storyline.

And oh god, One Piece isn't just about one treasure. It's a whole treasure trove! And I think I caught glimpse of only one of them, I bet there are more, still waiting to be discovered by brave explorers.

I'm actually preparing another post exactly about that. It will be a love letter to Lawlu. At first I wanted to just give you all a fishing rod and tell you to go fish. But everytime I check lawlu tag people there are always excusing themselves, apologizing for seeing things the way they probably shouldn't, they travel through the fog unsure whether what they see is an illussion or a shape of something, but never sure of what exactly. I know it, because I also spent months going back and forth wondering myself whether I'm just that desperate to see One Piece as something that it actually isn't, until I digged out a treasure chest a few days ago and now nothing is the same to me anymore. You all deserve to experience that feeling too, I just hope I will be able to pass it on properly.

Fandom is starved. And when people are starved you don't give them fishing rods and hope they won't faint while attempting to get some food. No, you just hand them fish. Lots and lots of fish. And I'm gonna do exactly that, I hope you will all enjoy the feast, because next post will be for all of you, to show my gratitude for every single appreciation I got from you.
