Just Wanted To Write Some Headcanons I Have About Zoro Since They'll Just Stew In My Head Otherwise.

Just wanted to write some headcanons I have about Zoro since they'll just stew in my head otherwise.

Firstly, sexuality:

- When I don't ship him with someone, he's aroace (he doesn't give a shit in Canon so it wouldn't surprise me)

- If I do ship him with someone, then I headcanon him as either demisexual/demiromantic or boreasexual/borearomantic.

(borea- means that the person has a set orientation but there is an exception centered around one person. With Zoro, I'd see him as aroace but then he meets someone who he does actually love.)

(Demisexual/demiromantic means that someone only feels sexual/romantic attraction after forming an emotional bond. This would make sense in Canon if Oda ever decides to give him a relationship, and I think it is the best option for most Zoro/person fanfiction.)

Either work well in my fanfictions, though it generally leans towards borearomantic/boreasexual.

Next, actual sexual life, since it's related:

I imagine that he would have had sex before but not cared for it much. Sexual attraction is separate from enjoying sex, mind you, but this is just how I imagine how he felt.

I like the idea that he tried it with a woman and didn't care, so tried it with a man and still felt nothing, so just didn't do it again.

I think that he wouldn't care for the person and so didn't feel anything (because of the aroace/demi/borea identity). That would probably take place in his bounty hunting days.

I think it would be funny to have the crew talk to each other about if they were virgins, and him bragging to Sanji (who is definitely a virgin, don't lie) about having sex with two more genders than him. That's basically the only reason I headcanon it.

Next, disabilities:

It makes sense if Zoro is dyslexic (getting lost all the time, and have you ever seen him actually read?).

I also love these types of fanfic, so I love seeing it show up more often.

I don't think he's autistic or anything else, just introverted with a struggle to trust.

Lastly, a bit about his childhood:

We know nothing about his childhood before 8, so whatever happens depends on the fanfiction and how I want people to react.

In my mind, I think that Zoro had parents die at a very young age and so lived in an orphanage that was pretty negligent because of lack of money. As a result, he was kinda free to do what he wanted.

I don't think he actually remembers his parents, and so doesn't really care. It would explain why he never mentions them.

I don't think that he saw Koushirou (his master) as a father, just as a mentor, but I do think that he and Kuina thought of each other as siblings. The Dojo was the first place that treated him like family, so he thinks of it as his first real home.

Also, since Koushirou told Kuina that a girl can't become the greatest swordsman in the world, I think that he would have a slight grudge and dislike for his more 'traditional' views.

And that's it. Just some random stuff I've finally scribbled onto an online platform.

Pssst... something new is coming...

A "coming soon" page for a website labeled the Exotic Animal Photo Reference Repository. The background image shows two tigers against a background of green foliage. One is laying down and the other stands behind him, staring off at the edge of the screen.

...this weekend!

Free, non-AI animal art references.

EXACTLYYYY

I feel like a lot of people really want/wanted Kuina to be Tashigi because they can't accept that all the potential she had was ruined because she had a tragic accident.

What makes Zoro's backstory sad isn't so much the scale of destruction, like on Robin's, but rather how down to Earth it is, as Kuina tripped, fell and probably broke her neck in a bad landing. It's that simple, and it serves as a good contrast to the larger scale backstories.

Today I was showing my nephew the second episode of OPLA with Usopp, and we've got to the scene when Zoro was trying to get out of the well, while thinking about Kuina. My nephew complained about how in anime Kuina died in an accident which he found lame, and I started to think about it deeper.

I came to conclusion that Kuina's fairly normal death via tripping accident is meant to be doubly tragic. She didn't just die young in a stupid, easily avoidable accident, while having such grand plans as becoming the greatest warrior ever; she didn't even die in combat. All of this happens some time after Zoro and Kuina promised each other that one of them will become The Greatest Swordsman in the World, so Kuina's ordinary accident feels like a cruel twist of fate. She didn't even die a warrior's death; she just tripped.

So I just watched the first episode of the Live Action and it is VERY GOOD.

It was really fun, and the differences made are interesting so I'm looking forward for the next.

The main thing that I picked up that I really liked was the set of roles that were established when the map safe was involved.

Nami had the knowledge necessary to locate the safe, but not the strength to open it.

Luffy didn't have the knowledge to find or open it, but had the strength to break the safe out of the floor so that it could be done later. Although he could lift it, it would be a bit difficult.

And that's where Zoro comes in. He can lift it with relative ease, although he likely wouldn't think about breaking it out of the floor impulsively and certainly wouldn't know where it is.

Nami has the knowledge, and as navigator she needs to know about everything involving the sea.

Zoro has the strength to act as a combatant, but also to support the others as first mate.

Luffy also has the strength to act as a key combatant, but he operates at the very front and makes it easier for his first mate- just as a good captain should.

They all contribute in a small way, and it really shows their dynamic as a crew already forming so early on.
