I know it's very easy to make it so Luffy is incredibly oblivious to romance going on around him,it's logical,it's sort of canon,it makes sense it's not something he pays attention to and goes over his head
But please do consider. In any context. The Straw Hats being surprised about a couple being among them,except for Luffy,who was like "you guys didn't know?"
Basically. Luffy figured it out,and didn't say anything cause he thought it was an implicit thing
HOLY SHIT I WATCHED THE LIFE SERIES IMP AND SKIZZ PODCAST EPISODE AND. AND HOLY SHIT. SKIZZ KNEW. IMPULSE TOLD SKIZZ THAT HE WAS GONNA BETRAY DOGWARTS BEFOREHAND. SKIZZ WAS PLAYING DUMB THAT ENTIRE TIME. SKIZZ WAS LETTING IMPULSE HAVE THAT CONTENT-
AND IMPULSE DID IT BECAUSE HE KNEW SKIZZ WAS GONNA CALL HIM OUT ON BEING A TRAITOR, HE KNEW SKIZZ WAS GONNA SNIFF HIM OUT NO MATTER HOW SNEAKY HE WAS.
AND SKIZZ AGREEING WITH IT!!! SKIZZ SAYING THAT AS SOON AS IMPULSE TYPED OUT THE “wait for me!” MESSAGE IN CHAT, THE SIGNAL WORD TO THE CRASTLE, HE WOULD HAVE KNOWN. HE WOULD HAVE SAID: "I've known him for 20 years. He just turned on us. Kill him now". THATS SO FUCKING INSANE, HOLY MOLYYY-
Kel: ...and I've been getting expensive presents from this mysterious benefactor ever since my first year as a page. 🫤 It's baffling, I mean, who could it possibly be? 🤷🏼
Raoul: Right, absolutely baffling. Excuse me for a sec
*sounds of running feet and a door slamming open*
Raoul: ALANNA WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME I WOULD HAVE HELPED 😭
Gwen could've easily said "in every other universe Gwen Stacy and Spider-Man date and in every other universe it doesn't end well" but she said "in every other universe Gwen Stacy falls for Spider-Man and in every other universe it doesn't end well" she really wants Miles to know how she feels but she couldn't say it directly
