the Strawhats and being the real MVP of an arc

shellstown, buggy, that wierd chestman, etc.: nami. given insane amount of chaotic dumbass energy zoro and luffy generate together can you imagine what would have happened if it wasn’t for her?? she kept those two idiots alive singlehandedly. also when luffy was gonna wake zoro up to discover an island she told him to let the poor guy sleep after almost bleeding out. what a soft girl.

baratie: sanji, for giving gin food. mihawk, don krieg and marine drama whomst, we stan one soft hearted boy. meanwhile, when he pours wine to that lady and then turns to fullbody with a full deadpan and says “pour it yourself” is just absolutely fucking hilarious.

arlong park: luffy, obviously, but that fact the zoro pulled though the full drama while he was still bleeding from his encounter with mihawk and still found the time to bitchily sit on arlong’s throne after beating the fishmen definitely deserves a honorable mention.

whiskey peak: zoro. killing that 100 bounty hunters under the full moon light, while the others are asleep? sexy.

little garden: sanji. while everyone was busy almost dying he achieved more with a phone call than all of the others combined. somehow doesn’t get exposed despite opening with the “shitty restaurant” line. also gets the eternal pose to alabasta.

drum island: luffy. climbing that mountain in the blizzard with nami tied to his back and sanji hanging from between his teeth like a kitten? and he also saved the baby monsterbunny’s mom? do i need to say more?

alabasta: it’s a tie between luffy and sanji, honestly. like sure, luffy died like 3 times for beating crocodile but the amount of mr princing sanji did there dealt just as much mental damage and is just too iconic to dismiss.

skypiea: luffy. finds sky eminem, beats up sky eminem. who’s the real slim shady now.

navarone/g-8: robin. while everyone is busy panicking or getting into cooking competitions, she just dresses up as that inspector, and walks straight to the head of the fortress, like the boss she is. gets usopp to zoro, triggers the rise of Con D. Oriano, the offical 7.5th strawhat who’s probably already waiting for them at Raftel. steals the fortress plans. foxy arc? i don’t know her. 

water 7: sanji. while everyone was busy running around in town sanji just went to the train station, found the train, got on the train like a fucking MAN. simply disconnects a traincar full of agents instead of fighting them like a moron would. starting to see a pattern here.

enies lobby: gear 2nd and 3rd. asura. the rise of sogeking. diable jamble. the clima tact. monster point. honestly they all pulled their weight here so much that it’d be tie between everyone if not for the Going Merry. we’re not talking about her. ever.

thriller bark: honestly if you didn’t fall in love with zoro at this point regardless of identity or sexual orientation idk what to tell you.

sabaody: kuma. sure, he broke everyone’s heart but he saved ther asses again, not the first nor last time. he wins this round. may you get a happy ending, bearman.

impel down: bon chan™. shouting for hours, rooting for luffy while he was suffering? saving him from the wolves? stayig behind to open the gates?

shit man. he deserves it all. for alabasta too.

if not for him, ivankov would get the prize though.

marineford: it was gonna be a tie because 1) everyone worked their ass off to save Ace, LUFFY especially, but people like crocodile and mr. 3 did their ample part too 2) everyone worked their assas off to SAVE luffy like. Ivankov and Jinbei saved him a hundred times each, but really, everyone helped, from croci through buggy(!!!) to law, not to mention the whitebeard pirates and shanks. but in the end it has to be jinbei for the combined impel down-marineford efforts. the way he fucking tore that door from its hinges with magellan up his ass and picked croci and mr. 1 up to steal a warship. he carried luffy even when injured. pulled him outta the water. called his whale buddies. talked sense into him. an absolute fucking champ. 

sabaody 2: brook. while everyone subtly sneaks back to sabaody and tires to stay out of trouble, he organises his final concert there, gets on stage, announces to the whole world that they’re back and luffy will be pirate king, sings one last song and fucks off through a hole in the roof. an absolute madman. I’ll neve quit talking about this.

gyojin island: idk, honestly, they were a hot mess here, starting with sanji. and sure, zoro cut the main villian 5 minutes in but he also took the king and half the palace as a hostage on accident?? honey, what? meanwhile nami just shrugged and was like, okay if we’re doing that let’s add a billion berry to the demands too?? so it’d be robin, for not messing things up more. she found the poneglyph. read the poneglyph! good gal! but in the end it still has to be luffy for that sexy power move™ phone call, claiming fishman island. picking a fight with a yonko before even poperly crossing the red line? iconic. other supernovas gtfo. 

punk hazard: nami for being the only one who geniunely gave a fuck about the kids, and catching the runaways at the end. zoro telling luffy to get a grip was cool too, though.

dressrosa: the rise of god usopp. honestly, he inspired this post. the way he knocked out sugar twice. awakened his haki. consumed the Grape. smashed his face. became god. people can only dream of being this cool.

zou: who the fuck cares about the strawhat drama when the minks invented no snitchin’ here?? 
though the fact that sanji (de)escalated a wedding invitation to a full-blown hostage situation is amazing

whole cake island: it’s a tie between brook and jinbei. the way brook got the poneglyph like it was nothing, unknowingly but directly channeling ellen’s “what, like it’s hard” energy from legally blonde. the way he still picked a fight with big mom to cover it up, that’s the definition of ride or die, ladies and gentlemen. the way he called her young lady. the way he broke that picture with an elegant swing of the hammer. the way, after she appeared on the ship, swinging a sword, he asked her to show him her panties. that what i call a fucking commitment to a line.
meanwhile jinbei broke luffy and nami out of prison, he made the alliance with bege possible, looked big mom dead in the eye and told her that why would he be afraid of a “mere yonko” as part of the future pirate kings crew, saved the ship 65692 times and there was the thing with the sonar slugs too. tldr the two eldest members fucking rocked this arc.

hey! do you ever want to genuinely, truly be transported back in time to 2013, and to even feel the physical effects of time and space warping around you? listen to this

god.. okay, in all seriousness

most of the time that i revisit soundtracks that i haven’t listened to in a long time, i wind up a little bit whiplashed by how good i forgot the music actually was, and the surreality wears off pretty quickly to be replaced by an unironic desire to just fucking jam to it

but…….. god, i’m not getting any of that with the frozen ost at ALL. and back in the day frozen was literally one of my MAIN fandoms! i fucking loved it! i made meta posts! i wrote fic! i made hans-centric parodies of all the songs! and yet NOW… the songs almost don’t even sound real? they sound.. cheap. they’re barely giving me any kind of emotion other than just General Overwhelmed-ness due to being sent back in time. a lot of the lyrics themselves even just sound Off. 

it’s like the audio equivalent of when you see someone that you haven’t seen since you were a kid, and now that you’re taller and you’re looking at them from a different angle, everything about them just looks SO fucking different now.

idk what it is about the soundtrack that was able to get me so hard 5 years ago but then also able to sound like just some dinky album now, but i’m.. honestly disappointed? mainly bc some of the songs i DO actually still really like, but they just don’t sound nearly as good to me as they used to and there’s this uncomfortable disconnect. idk
