HAPPY BIRTHDAY KING 🗣🗣🗣
beyond the laboratory
Kaidou is imprisoned, frees himself, names someone he loves, is given a name, names someone he hates, becomes a pirate, rescues a rival, returns home, tries to die, and fails. King is imprisoned, is freed, is given a name, names someone he loves, becomes a pirate, advises caution, returns to the place he grew up, witnesses divinity, tries not to die, and succeeds. (The strife and times of Kaidou the Beast, Supernova, and the first mate he named King.)
(part 5 of emperorswap !!!! au as always created by myself and my friends and co-conspirators @oriigami and @hopeworth , go check out their work and the rest of the series! i myself am going to go lie down because 7k is too many words i think maybe)

kidd & killer | general audiences | roleswap au | 1.3k words
Emperor of the Sea Eustass "Warmonger" Kidd and his right hand, "Massacre Soldier" Killer, who stand together above all the rest, take a moment between conquests. (What else is there to say, really?)
part 4 of the emperorswap au series co-created by me, @grainjew and @oriigami where kidd and law are roleswapped with linlin and kaidou. check out the rest of the series and bookmark for more :)
Trafalgar D Water Law experiences an escalating series of nuisances. Meanwhile, Monkey D Luffy learns some new tricks, gets dropped in the ocean, and awakens to a slapstick horizon of possibility. These things are related. (The battle between the surgeon emperor of deathless Flevance and his latest challenger does not proceed as expected.)
part three of the upside-down roleswap series co-created by me, @grainjew, and @hopeworth!
i just found out tumblr was storing over three GIGABYTES of cookies on my device without me knowing and that's why it's been running so fucking slow recently... incredible. anyways everyone go clear your fucking cookies. don't let this website run a goddamn video game's worth of disc space in the background for no good reason.
on firefox: settings → search "cookies" → scroll down → "manage cookies" → tumblr should be at the very top because of how much space it's taking → select it → clear cookies → save changes. done

law & doflamingo & rosinante | teen and up audiences | roleswap au | 16.3k words
Trafalgar D Water Law loses his home, joins a pirate crew, gains two sons, reclaims his home, becomes an Emperor, sells drugs, loses two sons, and is thoroughly miserable the entire time. Naturally, this goes well for exactly nobody. (The life and crimes of "Surgeon of Death" Trafalgar D Water Law, Emperor of the Sea.)
this is part 2 to the emperorswap au that @oriigami @grainjew and i have been working on where we roleswap kidd and law with kaidou and linlin. check out the other work in the series and bookmark or subscribe for future installments :)
Rising Supernova captains Charlotte Linlin, Kaidou the Beast, and Monkey D Luffy meet for the first time at a Sabaody auction house and, inevitably, get along like a house on fire. Chaos ensues. (You know how this story goes.)
(part 1 of a roleswap au i've been working on with @oriigami and @hopeworth ! follow the series to hear about their parts too <3 )

Nikaposting Pt 2: Symbology & Syncretism
This is the second of a series of posts about Nika & associated religious practice in the One Piece world. As I write and post the rest of the series, I’ll add links to this header.
Pt 1: Crypto-Religion | Pt 3: Joyboy was Shandian
Enormous credit to @oriigami for being my discussion partner through all of this and having a substantial influence on the final product. Check out our ao3 series Joyful for a narrative rather than analytical take on the Nika tradition, and definitely go read her OP blog @kaizokuou-ni-naru for meta and translation fun facts.

So About That Sun Symbol (and all those sun gods)
Context note: This post assumes you’ve read pt 1. If you haven’t, the TLDR is that the Nika cult is best categorized as a crypto-religion and may not ever have existed outside of a cryptic and oral form.
There’s a lot of sun gods in One Piece. And there’s a lot of appearances of that sun symbol we discussed briefly in pt 1, with the disconnected rays. This post will cover that symbol, the survival of non-Kuma Nika cult branches, and the proliferation of sun gods across the One Piece world.
The sun symbol can be found everywhere, in what seems at first to be a wildly disparate collection of places. There are a number of borderline cases, so I’ll be defining the “Nika sun symbol” as being any symbol with a central circle, disconnected rays, and four- or eight-fold radial symmetry. This leaves us the below list (images of the majority of these instances can be found in this very helpful post):
