I just find it very funny that some fans see Law as this dominant daddy alpha male when really he is an awkward nerd who tends to overthink and has a dysfunctional sleep schedule.

Same with Luffy ! He literally is just a silly little guy who is really powerful and who liberates oppressed countries here and there while looking for the One Piece. He is no submissive femboy XD

Okay, but hear me out.

An alternative universe where Bill discovers that someone broke the shaman's curse and has the ability to make a portal for his plans. So he goes on earth to find said person (only knowing their face), and he somehow mistakes Stan for Ford.

But wait ! There's more. He manages to enter the dimension, but unfortunately, his powers couldn't transition with him, so he is just a normal triangle who can occasionally float now.

At first, he tries to trick Stan to make a deal with him using his usual tactics, but you can't con a conman, so Stan is completely unaffected to Bill's utter dismay.

Therefore, in a desperate attempt to somehow convince Stan to make the portal for him and having no other choice if he wants to regain his powers, Bill stays with him.

Shenanigans ensues, and they end up going on adventures together. Slowly starting to get along well with each other due to their similarities.

What started off as dislike of Stan's guts on Bill's end because how could a pathetic human be this infuriating ? And annoyance on Stan's end who didn't care much about this weird one-eyed triangle, turned to tolerance, then mutual understanding and bonding.

They develop a sort of friendship to the point where Bill even grows attached to Stan only to later realise the one he was looking for was actually his twin brother, Ford.

Joe being treated/mistaken as a kid for 2 minutes straight :

I am very amused when Joe gets treated or mistaken as a kid, and one of the reason why is because it shows the dual way he can be presented.

On one hand, people see him as this scary criminal mastermind with a short temper due to his reputation. But on the other hand, he can appear to some others as just a little guy who can do no harm due to his height.

Either way, he isn't deceiving anyone because that's just how he is ! As much as he can be intimidating and callous by default, he can also be meek and shy in some instances.

The only ones who are aware of both aspects of his personality are his younger brothers as they have been exposed to both extreme : Having suffered the burn of his anger and witnessed the downpour of his insecurity.

And I understand that this duality is mostly for comedic purpose in the show, but it doesn't make it any less part of Joe's character.

Also, Joe being treated like a kid make for some cute moments Hahaha !

Monoshin FANART + Headcanons:

-As they grew closer over time, Shinsou became more comfortable with being in close proximity to Monoma even when he is being clingy or touchy. And he enjoys it at times.

-Now Shinsou will sometime casually invade Monoma's personal space which would always shock the latter until he got somewhat used to it.

-Monoma is the type that gets shy easily when Shinsou initiates or reciprocates affection even though he was the one that always played around and flirted.

-Monoma fell first but Shinsou fell harder !

The reason Bill hates Stanley so much is because of how similar he is to Bill.

And yet, unlike him, Stan won. He got his good ending together with his live loved ones.

Even though Bill is so much greater than he will ever be. Why does Stanley, the liar, deadbeat, good for nothing, husk of his own self. Why does that pathetic miserable man has it all ?

But Bill has nothing.

It's not fair.

Just Joe being an older brother for almost 3 minutes :

Bonus rant :

Some may dislike the show as it isn't that loyal to the comics, but I actually prefer the brothers' dynamics in the cartoon.

From my memories in the comics, Averell, William, and Jack just seem like lackeys Joe can order around to mindlessly do his biddings.

While that dynamic hasn't been completely scrapped in the cartoon, it has been given more dimensions and their sibling bond feels more organic.

In the cartoon, they are actually shown to behave like younger brothers who love Joe, and in turn, Joe behaves like an actual older brother; although they may be stupid and he can get impatient with them (typical oldest sibling experience with anger issues tbh), he still genuinely cares about them but is loath to admit or show it. (Again, very accurate older sibling rep)

Whereas in the comics, he just seems like a self-absorbed prick who only cares about them because he needs them for his own personal gain and put up with them because of their mom (not because he actually cares). He also gets angry too easily and doesn't take his brothers into consideration. (As in their well-being other than them being alive and fit enough to commit crimes with him.)

But even if Joe in the comics did care, his selfish motivations seem to outweigh any care he may have for his younger brothers. Which isn't true for his cartoon counterpart where caring for his brothers is an integral part of his character and ambitions.

Besides, their interactions are more funny and relatable in the show.

This may be why I am especially fond of the cartoon, as a sibling myself.
