wish i could explain the love i have for the strawhats properly
#delete later even tho this will probably never see the light of day#it starts with robin! i love robin! robin who was lonely and persecuted and scorned! who did what she had to survive#who relied on no one and was relied on by no one! and she has nothing to live for up until she gets tangled up with this rubber boy and#suddenly she has a family! because there are these kids! literal kids who are running around with big dreams and smiles and so much love it#flows out of their tiny ship and surrounds them!! and it’s wonderful and robin almost can’t take it and without realising it she belongs#with them! with a dream and a smile and love and a family! who would wage war against the world for her! who do!! who rely on her and trust#her and of whom she can do the same!#and it’s like the for all the strawhats!! they have each other and their silly adventures and quirks and needs and limits#they complete each other#they look after each other in ways both tangible and not!!#it’s the idea that sanji puts his all into their meals! that he does the laundry and updates the chore rota! that that usopp and robin and#brooke find means of entertainment in stories and games and music and hobbies#that nami manages their finances! she calls it a loan and charges interest but there’s always money for snacks and clothes and new books and#games!! that there’s always an island on course#it’s franky and zoro holding everything together because franky keeps their home together physically#franky makes sure the ship holds! that they have a physical home! and then he spreads his good humour and his good cheer and every piece of#attention loving detail to make its persist and keep the crew happy#and zoro with the understanding of luffy and all his nakama#so tightly wrapped into his core keeps the crew together less physically! that constant napping training mediating pillar! the one who keeps#them safe while they sleep and is happy and safe and trusting during the day so that he can nap as they venture onwards! who bickers and#grumbles and moans but always gives into them#and then there’s luffy#brillaint brillaint luffy with his rubber limbs and his great big grin and his infinite love for adventure and food and his friends! his fam#family!!! family!!! luffy takes them each into his arms and wraps himself around them and propelles them all forwards!! insists that they#belong and they can want and they can dream and they can love and that it’s safe here to be happy! to be free#who stands between them and danger and pulls them straight into it!!#luffy and his beloved strawhat! the beloved strawhat pirates#a family :D
