Description Okay, so one of the side affects of being obsessed with something at the same time as someone you spend 24 hours of the day with is that you develop this ridiculous, complex sub-fandom that exists only between the two of you. This is a part of that.

We imagine that, once it starts getting cold, some switch just flips in all the captains and first mates that causes them to become inseparable and unimaginably clingy. It's a survival instinct to prepare for hibernation and...mating (lololol 'first mating' lololol! XD) Anyhoo, that is 'the season'...

It looks a little something like this.

(RAYLEIGH DOESN'T HAVE HIS CAPTAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!!!! ç_ç tears in my eyes! I'm sure Roger clings to him from the afterlife)

Fun times...though I feel I didn't do Daddy WB justice (hurhurhur, how ironic) in his proportions, we pick ourselves up and stumble on. XD

These people who are usually beautiful- just not here - belong to Oda

A thousand thank yous for looking...we'll color it one day (said Usopp XD)

Oh, no, you HAVE to colour it! At least one of those adorable sketches! >__< It deserves, asks, BEGS to be coloured!!!
(and I can always do it if you want )
(uhhh, your Frobin is coming, I haven't forgot! just wait for it!)
You portrayed in such a lovley way the captain/deputy relationship, showing how close and special is their bond... I think that this feeling of "possession" it's quite evident in a metaphorical sense. Their spiritual connection is so deep and so strong that you can't explain it in other words... furthermore, the captain usually chooses his mates (we have seen it with Luffy and Zoro, Roger and Silver... and also with Shanks and Yasopp! So, I presume that he had chosen like that even Ben ) , and for the first one it's always...I don't know, some kind of priviledge?
Anyway, I love those hugs. Each one is different and, despite their roles are quite the same, expresses the own features of the characters. In particular, the one between Shanks and Beckman is my favourite!!! Awww, it's so passionate, so incredibly spontaneous and the pose looks so dynamic! I love the way how Beckman's falling, resigned to his captain's (adorable) madness! xD Equally joyful and passionate between Rufy and Zoro (the poor guy is going half-deaf, probably, I guess ) and so sweet and fatherlike (obviously) between WhiteBeard and Marco! I'm so incredibly sorry for Rayleigh and Silver ç___ç But their chibis are so adorable, and their bond will survive to everything, even death!
All my compliments for this wonderful work!

Haha! Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to this! I know you understand though since we do this type of thing to each other all the time XD It's awesome.

Aw. I'm super touched that you liked this so much!!! As I probably said in the artist's comments, I wasn't entirely happy with the way this turned out. I've always wanted to go back and fix Whitebeard's proportions XD Ah well. Life goes on.

I'm glad that you thought their different connections came through clearly with all the different tackles/hugs. XD Shanks and Beckman's definitely took the most time and effort but I was quite pleased with how it came out as well!

As always, your detailed analysis is incredibly flattering and I'm delighted to hear your thoughts on my meager sketches. XD You're too kind!!!

WHAT A WONDERFUL SUB-FANDOM MIND YOU TWO MUST HAVE.

Aww, Marco's so tiny compared to Daddybeard... and Luffy's mouth is huge.

Gah! Thank you soooo much! XD I was very pleased with how Luffy's mouth came out (especially after my battle with perspective on ShanksBen)! :3 So glad you liked it!!!

And I wish I could put more of our sub-fandom into the world...I have plans to, but me and plans just never seem to work. XD

( your new icon, btb XD)

You're welcome! Luffy's expression actually looks a lot like it does when Oda draws that type of expression on him, and it's just such a naturally Luffy-ish expression, so well done. OTL I completely forgot to mention that perspective on Shanks and Ben- it worked very well indeed, so I guess you won that particular battle~ :3

Best-laid plans, and all that, hm? I wonder if I'm even remembering the saying right...

(Really? Thanks! I'm very proud of the picture it came from~ Mycoloured pencils are )

Haha! Love the perspective you've got going for Benn and Shanks! Looks great! I would never be able to draw from that angle.

The little dead and not-dead floating chibi heads are adorable!

Luffy's face + Zoro's response = Can the magnitude of my love possibly grow any further?! xDDD

FFFFFFFFFFFF.

Normally, I couldn't draw from that angle either. It took a lot of trial and error. XD Eventually I just took a deep breath and allowed myself to be temporarily possessed in order to pull it off. XD Naturally, Ben found himself first and then Shanks (after trying to fit himself in, on, and around Beckman in about fifty different ways) finally behaved and settled down atop his beloved Beckie.

Luffy and Zoro on the other hand just arrived. I didn't even have to erase. I was so on my A game. XD

Thank you so much for all the lovely comments!
