Sleepy Boys

Drunk Zoro would cup Luffy's face and caress the scar under his eyes with his thumb, look at Luffy with awe and when Luffy turns to him with his smile Zoro would lean and kiss his eyes and cheek, murmur over his skin (you're so beautiful Luffy, my captain, my king) while Luffy would hug him and laugh because he loves when Zoro is like this. (He calls him Catoro)

zolu is maybe one of the easiest ships i've ever liked. they're dating, except when they're not, they're best friends even when they're kissing and they're still captain and first mate when they aren't. they hold hands, they hug. they have sex. they don't.

Luffy can hold Zoro's katanas and Zoro can hold Luffy's strawhat and no one bats an eye. one says "You're so cool!" and the other says "You're strong" and it's just another way to say "I see you, this is why I follow you/this is why I trust you". it's not seeing each other for a long time and still knowing how the other's steps sound like against wood and sand. the captain runs and the first mate follows. it's always "Zoro and the others" and "Where's Luffy?"

if they're just friends, if they're something more, if they don't have a label for it, at its core, it's just about how they get each other. they understand how the other's mind works. however you view them, it doesn't erase they fact that they love each other in a way they don't love other people.

I am finally writing the fic that goes along with this beautiful commission. I could not be happier with it and greatly appreciate Bei for drawing it for me. I still can't stop admiring it, it's so good. I definitely plan to commission again in the future.

I think my favorite thing about zolu is that not only is it peak moron4moron, but like

Zoro and Luffy are each convinced that they have the braincell in the relationship. Luffy is like “aw Zoro it’s okay that youre stupid :)” and zoro says “I don’t wanna hear that from you” and they’re both resigned to being moronsexual meanwhile everyone else is watching Luffy just say the most batshit things that cross his mind and Zoro try to will away blood loss and they think “they’re made for each other”

They way they adore each other melts my heart~ 💚❤️

alright why do almost all zolu shippers gloss over the fact that zoro sacrificed his dream and life for the whole crew and not just for luffy. I know it's an important zolu moment but but I don't see why you guys have to tunnel vision on the Luffy part only and dismiss everyone else in the crew

………this is a really pointless ask to send me bcuz its trying to make it out like zolu shippers unreasonably think zoro doesnt care about ANYONE else but Luffy despite the fact he is Sword Mom of the Strawhat pirates and im p sure everyone (not just zolu fans) openly acknowledges this??? 

anyway the reason (if any) that so many people focus on that moment as being zoro sacrificing for Luffy alone and not just the crew as a whole is because… he… kind of is doing both without having to outright say over and over ‘this is for the whole crew’. what he DOES say over and over is ‘Luffy’

like Zoro openly acknowledges that by saving Luffy he saves the crew and thats all he can do here, but are you really arguing that fans of a pairing are given material like this and that we suck because we’re not making it about All Strawhat Crew and focusing instead on the two guys in the pairing??????? 

Like if anything Sanji trying to jump in and sacrifice in Zoro’s was more for openly for the Whole Crew (and even his own self) rather than just Zoro or Luffy based on how he declares himself. 

like up until Sanji’s appearance panels showing the rest of the crew havent even been shown, just shots of Luffy when Zoro is talking. But do you know how many doujins and fanart and fics are centered around this moment in the ZoSan circles? a lot. bcuz its ZoSan is the largest fanbase for the OP slash, despite have WAY less material to work with that can fuel a ship. 

so if youre saying ‘y do zolu fans have tunnel vision and make this more about Zoro’s devotion to Luffy rather than ~the whole crew~??’ bcuz Zoro knows Luffy is the whole crew and none of us feel the need to dismiss this INCREDIBLE moment as ‘oh i thought this was zolu but i guess he means the he wants to save the WHOLE crew, damn’. Like wtf fans would NOT focus on a moment like this to have it be about their pairing what are you even saying just let the Meatball Mom offer his life up for his Small Stretchy boyfriend jeez. 

⚔️👒 Strong and very sexy indeed 😆
