trelldraws:

what a fun question. ten points to griffindor

naturally i like him in punk hazard and dressrosa best (save for at
the very end) because that’s where all of his salient story happens. my
views on dressrosa’s catastrophic failure to follow through on
its own narrative imperative i‘ve written about a number of
times, but as ever the tl;dr is (a) if you‘re writing kill bill you do, actually, have to kill bill; and (b) i wish that whole arc had been directed by guy ritchie instead, because guy ritchie knows how to COMMIT

(periodically i fantasize about rewriting dressrosa on that exact theme, because it’s so close
to actually being good writing. just—cut the ensemble cast down to
quarter size, gut all the extraneous nonsense and the unrelenting
misogyny, and add in a proper torture scene like god damn well intended)

as to sabaody and marineford: a terrific lead-in, certainly. if
ever there was a character introduction tailored specifically to my
interests “TRUST ME, I’M A DOCTOR” mid-war zone is it, i love that, i
love that he didn’t even have a good reason, there should be a word for
the things we do / not because we want to / but because we want to be
the kind of person who wants to

everything after dressrosa, well. i think oda’s lost his admin
privileges when it comes to writing this character, because with how
soundly he dropped the ball on dressrosa’s ending i’m unconvinced it can
ever be picked up again. and i haven’t actually read wano or any
of the rest of it for years but my recent flipping through chapters has
been sufficient to establish that it bores me interminably, so really
oda can ring me when they get to raftel or toei decides to pay their
animators a living wage

will-of-his-own:

Yeah of course! I’m more than happy to answer any questions about it. For starters, not all the songs are LawLu per se. Quite a few are actually examinations of his own psyche or relationship with himself, while others are relationships with say Corazon (Saturn for instance) or Doflamingo (Dark Matter and Torture).

Believer I associate more with himself and overcoming his trials of youth. The rebellion to break the cogs of the world and disrupt the passing status quo. It’s a bit directed towards Doflamingo as well since he feels made by Doflamingo, taught him about pain and revenge. I also associate the song heavily with One Piece because of two AMVs. I’m on mobile right now so I can’t link them now, but I can later.

Thanks so much for the ask! Hopes it answers your question satisfactorily. If anyone has any more questions feel free to send them!
