What ship do you just not like?
You see... I have a terrible curse where as soon as I say I don't like a ship, I consider a scenario, see a comic, or read a fic that changes my mind. More I have ships I have a hard time wrapping my brain around. Like for some reason Law/Zoro an Law/Sanji? I want to like them but so far I'm having a hard time seeing it.
More than ships I dislike I'm picky about how they're interpreted. Unless we're counting different top/bottom configurations as different ships, I usually don't like fixed dynamics much. I can't wrap my head around them.
If you could change one design or character trait of one of the Strawhats what would you change and on who?
I'd make Sanji actually live up to the whole kind but rough thing. Which includes removing the generic shonen pervert gag side of his personality. What's kind about peeping on girls in the bath? Him being chronically horny I'd be fine with if he wasn't an ass about it. I like Sanji, but damn if it doesn't require a lot of cope.
That or I'd make post-ts Chopper's brain point look more like post-ts horn point. Let him look 17!!
Is there any arc you didn’t like at first but it either grew on you or something happened to improve it?
S-Syrup Village... I'm not sure why but for some reason I was stuck on it for literal years, it was probably my biggest obstacle for getting into One Piece. Something about the pacing doesn't really agree with me. I do like it (and honestly most other One Piece arcs) more in retrospect where I can see how things fit together though!
I like how the live action version was paced more, but I don't like how much they reduced Usopp's role in his own arc... Usopp deserves better!
Who did you REALLY want to join the crew but didn’t?
Shirahoshi... LISTEN. I knew it wasn't going to happen. The logistics alone are impractical, she's like a third the length of the Sunny she could nap on the deck but it would be pretty cramped.
But she's big and can summon sea kings and she gets along really well with Luffy... I just like her.
