The One Piece Post Index
I noticed clicking the One Piece tag won’t work on mobile. For this reason, I made this page so you can traverse with ease. I’ll be linking to this page from now on, too. Mind you, I’ll still be tagging the posts with one-piece, but until Substack fixes their stuff I have to do things double.
The posts feed off of one another, so it makes sense to start from the beginning. Here they are in chronological order:
Water 7, Baron Omatsuri, and the Core of One Piece
I’m clearing house. I have one more post sitting pretty, which I’ll post on Friday; I’ll be on vacation soon and I have no interest in keeping these posts for any longer. The STENCH they emanate! Now onto the post… I’m currently rewatching One Piece (this “currently” stretches back to…
Roronoa Zoro, Badass and Marytr
There is unequivocal good about One Piece, the live action adaptation. They PC’d the hell out of it, which is great because Alvida aged incredibly poorly, and in the long run that means I can finally enjoy Sanji, who is an anachronistic d…
One Piece Film: Red Codifies the Role of Music
Hey there. I'm back from a 30-hour-speedrun of trip to London. I don’t tend to write for the draft before and after a journey, so I wrote this instead. As I'm watching One Piece and keep having opinions, posts like these will crop up every once in a while.
Characters as form and function
Let me set the scene for you: Luffy must set sail to Marineford to save his older brother, Ace, who is about to be executed by the Marine. Aiding him is a bunch of newkama (new okama... LGBTs), the male members of the Baroque Works corporation (big LGBT if true) and the Whitebeard Pirates, to which Ace belongs. Opposing him is the entire force of marine…
Marineford Saga or the Dilemma of Setup-as-Payoffs
It has been two years since the Strawhats have seen one another. Naturally, they will look different, even if this “different” means that Zoro is overweight and sticks to Sanji a lot. And Robin has gotten quite short, too… huh. Chopper happily trails behind them, though, and doesn’t mind that they don’t look at him or interact with him. Of course, these…
How Do You Let Brook Outdo You?
Today’s intro is basically letting you know where my head (and hands) (and Windows programs) is at: knee-deep into the novel revision. I’m almost done but have to re-outline it, basically thinking of a new ending and weaving in a crucial motivation? So besides editing here and there and writing some new things, it’s going great.
New Races, Same Old Fears
This is the second One Piece post over my little break. It is the serious one that feeds off the rest of the posts in some kind of way. You can peruse the tag on web and the index for mobile. Spoilers apply up to Fishman Island Arc.
I Want It All (Straw Hat, World Domination, Character Quality)
Hi! I’m done revising my novel for now! This is a One Piece post. Here’s the index, here’s the tag. Spoilers apply to Film Z and Straw Hat Chase, but really this one is a craft-analysis type of post, like this one. Here is a quote that miraculously survived the Internet’s penchant for al…
Oda's Ladies
This is a One Piece post. There is a tag and an index for these posts. Spoilers up to Punk Hazard Arc follow. Look, I thought I would be able to not write about One Piece at all for an arc I did not even like the first time around. Complaining about something you know is bad is not intellectually stimulating to me, nor do I enjoy talking about something …
