I love Japanese fan content don’t get me wrong but man the amount of times I had to visit google lens to scan the screenshots I took just to get an ounce of barely compressible translations are down right embarrassing 💀

Some KobyMeppo and Bogard bonding

Bogard is reading out a riddle from a quiz card game Garp forced him, Koby, and Helmeppo to play together as a form of bonding. It reads, "This is something usually cut whenever placed on a table, but never eaten."
Koby and Helmeppo ponders the question for a bit before Helmeppo responds with a nonchalant "Is the answer 'a deck of cards'?" while Koby very enthusiastically answers over him, "A person in surgery!", perhaps too confidently.

Koby likes to think outside of box

Also some bonus reaction panels that were supposed to be followed by Koby realizing that his answer was not exactly the conventional response but never really finished so

A discontinued cobymeppo comic (never really got the motivation to finish unfortunately 😔😔) that I started since February 💀💀

The whole premise of the comic was basically just Koby having no idea how to shave and asking guidance from Helmeppo to do so, to which Meppo just lets Koby manage on his own. The panel after this was supposed to be followed up by a waiting Helmeppo standing out their shared bathroom and Koby walking out with cuts on his cheeks and chin as he smiles. Helmeppo does an internal face palm and inevitably shaves Koby himself. (They cuddle after uwu)

Who was going to tell me that in order to produce a fic I actually have to write it >:((((( ??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE WORDS DONT JUST APPEAR IN THIN AIR IF I STARE AT THE BLINKING CURSOR LONG ENOUGH WITH MY BRAIN FILLED WITH SO MUCH IDEAS RAHHHH !!!!

Anyway, I just wanted to share a small tidbit of a Hanahaki au CobyMeppo fic/draft/idea/prompt/shitty compilation of words that barely make sense that I've been working on since FEBRUARY but never fucking finished and am currently still struggling to even continue as embarrassing as that sounds because idk whether its cohesive or good enough to even share on Ao3 Its just the idea of Helmeppo developing and struggling through Hanahaki disease would be so neat imo due to how most CobyMeppo shippers head cannon Helmeppo's feelings being unrequited at first (or not at all) and how he just adores Koby so fucking much that he becomes so ruined. I cant. Apologies if the structured and the way it's told is messy and incoherent, I've added the lil space in the indent thingy to depict a different part of the fic since im not very good at transitioning. I haven't written anything in so long and I wanted to pump so much bits that I didn't even weave anything properly so, HERE IT IS: (a lot of it IS corny and a bit cheesy so be forewarned akjsjasjsa)

Koby always liked flowers. Surely then, Helmeppo thought, Koby would like him too. Helmeppo, who dwelled within his prickly walls, each barbed with Rose thorns. Helmeppo, with his muddled virtues, swelling and desiccated like stains from Poppy sap. Helmeppo, with a chest riddled with budding blossoms, all watered by his desolate, weeping heart. Could such qualities appeal to the man he grew to love? Perhaps, Helmeppo thought, and perhaps too, he should have known better.  Known when his feelings had begun to develop into something more than simple tolerance, more than respect, more than adoration and even more than intense attachment to the pink-haired boy. At least then, he would have prepared for the worst. Or at least… That's what he assumed when the worst began. It was a blur, how it started. Helmeppo was always self-aware, extremely conscious of his feelings. He knew of jealousy, anger, longing, all traits that contributed and resulted from his desperate and gnawing want to appease his father. His father, of course. His own blood and bones, the same person who probably caused the beginning of all– this. Was it really a surprise? Helmeppo couldn't think of any fucked up thing in his life that hadn't ultimately been caused by Morgan. He grew to learn how to read the room, read the faces, read the tones, he grew to know his father's thoughts without actually knowing anything about his father's feelings. Did he even feel? Feel for his son? No. Of course not. The only thing Morgan could feel for him was apathy.  Sometimes, Helmeppo wished his father hate him instead, wished that he was worth hitting. At least then, he would have experienced treatment that came with passion and effort, treatment that resulted from feeling, treatment that made him feel at the barest, like he meant something.  The lack of care and lack of anything that Morgan bothered to show to his son was barely even the surface of reasons why Helmeppo is even suffering through this. The cause that made Helmeppos brain chemistry rewire and for his damn neuromodulators to rearrange. To see something as small as a single act of genuine care be perceived as a trick, a lie, a dream that he’d so desperately want to fall into and relive despite the possible consequences. He should have recognized how unhealthy and apparently not normal these thoughts were, should have known that his emotions are unstable and too much, should have seen how horrific he grew to be. But even then, Helmeppo thought, would that have done anything to prevent the illness he'd eventually succumb to?

Of all the horrors in Helmeppo’s life, he would have thought that seeds growing inside his lungs would have been the most and hopefully (though doubtedly, considering his luck in life) last traumatic event that would truly, bring him to ruin. But of course, the world, just like how Helmeppo always found himself to be, would never have enough, and just like the breaths he was left to breathe, would leave him dwindling in the years to come. It started as a blur, again, just like any day in the ship he found himself settled in. A gift. He thought, better than what life offered him when he woke up back in shells town. Or at least that's what he’s been telling himself.  Morgan was cruel, sure, but at least he was familiar. He was easier to navigate, easier to chart and read and hide from.  He couldn’t do this here, when things still felt new. He knew of Garp and his capabilities, but he didn’t know the limits of his patience, he had no clue what and how many things would warrant the usage of his fist. He knew of the shady business of the Navy and the World Government, knew of its structure and how it works; the tutors paid by his father made sure of that much, but he never got to live through it.

SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME TIPS ON HOW TO TRANSITION PARTS IN WRITING, I SUCK ASS AND AM OPEN TO CRITIQUES AHJSJAS

👓⛑️ redraws

Looking back and pretty old doodles and sketches I drew of Koby and Helmeppo when I just started the OPLA and barely looked over at their anime’s design, and man

I sure drew Helmeppo with a lot more rizz than what he actually has

HI HEY NICE TO MEET YOU DO YOU HAVE ANY FIC RECS??? (ao3 or any platform actually)

K WOW, It's been a while since I get to answer any inbox questions so IM SO SORRY IF IT TOOK FOREVER FOR ME TO RESPOND ajshjashjash now I'm under the assumption that you're asking for CobyMeppo fanfics specifically?? if I'm wrong im so sorry 😭, but considering how you're asking me and considering how majority of the content that I post on here is exactly CobyMeppo driven then- I'll take it as a yes Well getting things straight then, I'll be breaking down the fics I'm recommending into two (with an additional third uwu) categories, with one being just shippy CobyMeppo romantic stuff and the other not necessarily shippy but implied and/or platonic ones because GOD i have an incredibly unhealthy attachment to these two

OK SO HERE WE GO

Coby/Helmeppo Fanfics on Ao3 I absolutely adore recommend (all of which are on ao3 <33):

1.) Non smut (yes this is classification i’m adding)

Words On Skin by marineduo (spiralxshock)  - The basic premise of this is that it’s set in a modern au, where Helmeppo is a tattoo artist and Koby is a hopeless romantic writer, sadly it isn't complete but goodness it's such a cute and short read 😭

To See You Smile by DamianFinch2 (DamianFinch) - Jealous and possessive Helmeppo + gushing and crushing Koby. This fic is an adorable and angst one shot, with it holding one of my favorite dynamics being  - Its short and a bit saddening for Helmeppo, but it's a commonality in the CobyMeppo community to make Helmeppo miserable 😊

Optics by The_Storybooker &

Choices by Ricky4479 - GOD I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE TWO FICS, ESPECIALLY OPTICS. I just absolutely adore works that focuses on Helmeppos past and what he’s gone through, with him almost always trying his best to deny his feelings for Koby its just- F—

Expression by Eloarei - This one is just an adorable one shot with Koby being an insecure flustered mess as Meppo acts all smug with him, some of these fics are more OPLA based, which I honestly prefer since the way the Netflix l.a personalized Helmeppos smugness to be more endearing and less irritating is something i’ll never get over with.

Pressure Treated by Anonymous  - Fics that tackle the Trans!Koby au is just so endearing to me, it's absolutely heartbreaking especially when it writes abt the gender dysphoria and crisis one feels. Helmeppo comforts Koby in this, it's heartwarming.

Careless Whisper by coralnebulas - More Trans!Koby but less angsty and more adorable and funny! Koby and Helmeppo are absolute dorks in this fic and it's so aishjasjsag

Rinse and Repeat by battybatzgirl - Helmeppo acting like a tsundere and denying his feelings for Koby, part 7267352. But yeah! It's short and cute and the characterization, humor, and writing from this author is phenomenal. 2.) MMM SMEXY STEAMY S E X

Helping Hands by leghair - Koby requests a body massage :)

Insomnia for Daddy's Boys With Repressed Feelings for Their Cute Best Friend by Xenophile45 - Meppo tries to sleep and get over his identity crisis and gnawing thoughts by letting one out for his friend 

midnight habits by battybatzgirl - Meppo tries to sleep and get over his identity crisis and gnawing thoughts by watching his friend let one out

Of shirts, sheets and new haircuts by River1848 - Meppo tries to live normally and ignore his developing feelings for Koby, lets one out for his friend and gets caught. Said friend proceeds to comfort the poor guy

all tied up and fine print by battybatzgirl - These smut fics specifically are so unique and intensely ingrained into my mind - Actually, just read all the authors works, genuinely, every single OP fanfic they write is phenomenal including their Kobylu and platonic Coby Meppo content. There's a lot from them I haven't mentioned but a lot of which are Koby centric ajijassaksaj

To be needed in times of war by RainbowNixie  - Ok, this one is NOT necessarily purely CobyMeppo, this is a Coby/Hibari/Helmeppo fic (WOO POLYAMORY) and is only read if u enjoy multi shipping or are ok with this. I do still recommend it though cuz it's amazingly written and the characterization of Helmeppo and Hibari here is so cute. - But srsly, to get into more detail, I genuinely would want anyone who's interested to check it out. This this this this is such an underrated but amazingly written fic, with the story revolving around Hibari and Helmeppo relationship dynamic w/ each other in the context of a Coby/Helmeppo/Hibari being in a polyamorous relationship. The fic focuses on Helmeppo and Hibaris doubts and feelings (SO MUCH FEELINGS) on their love and just utter care and worry for Coby. 

3.) Coby & Helmeppo fics on Ao3 I adore and recommend (platonic/ only implied romance):

a pawsitively bad day by battybatzgirl - Did i mention to read this author - Koby turns into a cat :D

in my mind like a song (in my head like a zombie) by Glitter_Lisp - It's a Modern au w/ Trans!Koby being siblings w/ sanji, him and Meppo got into a fight but make up cutely in the end

Pink by fireontheriver - A short and wholesome one shot, with Helmeppo comforting and providing platonic intimacy and affection to Koby after the events of marineford

Constructive Dismissal by Senna_B - Modern au that ships Koby with X drake, with Platonic cobymeppo being its focus.  - This one is honestly a nice read, mostly taking on Helmeppo’s pov and showcasing his feelings of inadequacy to his best friend. The characterization and writing once again is glorious, authors other works are highly recommended

As Bright as the Stars by your_dragon_just_shot_at_me - A chapter by chapter Plotty CobyMeppo adventure where they essentially just frolic around but with ✨mystery✨

Mirror by MatoMasaharu - insecure Koby overthinks and tries to stay tough as Helmeppo gets concerned in the sidelines

Hints and Glimpses by Senna_B - Probably one of my favorite coby and helmeppo centered fics that does a fantastic job in writing their friendship and dynamic, with it being a great one-shot story with an AMAZING plot regarding fortune telling and future events. Gosh the writing of their relationship, their friendship, the foreshadowing, the plot????? Good lord i ate this shit with a huge ass smile

friction burn by miswriting (m_is_writing) - MY ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE PLATONIC COBYMEPPO FANFICTION I REREAD AN UNHEALTHY AMOUNT OF TIMES!! - ITS AN A/B/O AU FIC WITH AN AMAZING MIX OF FLUFF AND ANGST, THE AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL AFFECTION AND CARE AND PERSONALITY THIS HAS IN THIS MAKES ME RAPID

OK, LASTLY, JUST LASTLY, THE FIC THAT WILL FOREVER BE MY FAVORITE, LIKE GENUINELY FAVORITE COBYMEPPO FANFIC EVER, THE FIC RESPONSIBLE TO MY HYPERFIXATION ON IT, THE ONE THAT MADE ME DECIDE TO START THE GETTING INTO THESE TWO AND LOW-KEY PUSHED ME TO FR START THE ANIME AFTER HAVING WATCHED THE LIVE ACTION:

birdsong and seafoam by literatureonhowtolose - Ok, now I know I might be overhyping a Fic up, and by all means, I most definitely am. I don’t promise that this would be any CobyMeppo fans favorite too, but it's just something that I genuinely, truly, adore and remember whenever this ship comes to mind. - Its ironic I think, that my favorite cobymeppo fic is the only fic in this list that isnt even focused on cobymeppo, and being one of the shortest - The thing I probably most liked about this fic is the writing. How much it managed to express and characterize Helmeppo and describe his thoughts with not much words. I’ll never get tired of rereading it

what headcanons do you have for kobymeppo? Just wanna know so I can draw them!

OMFG I'M SORRY FOR THE LATE RESPONSE AHJSHJSAHSAH UH, anyway, some personal headcanons I have for the dorks that I'll always have and love to see you draw will be some of the following: - The romantic interest in the ship is unrequited, and I mean ALWAYS UNREQUITED. My absolutely main hc and take is that the feelings are never returned, like, Helmeppo forever pining for Koby who'll he'll always feel too inadequate and never enough for as Koby crushes hard and goes through his own unmet feelings for Luffy. As much as I adore the ship and love the fan works of the two of them in a romantic setting, the angst of works depicting Helmeppo and Koby as hopeless romantics for different people will always choke me better - In terms of head cannons of their sexual orientations or gender identities, I dont really have a single go to hc that I have, but I do enjoy the depictions of trans!koby and possibly gender fluid Helmeppo. Its fun and nice to see works on it and the koby being gay and Meppo being bi or pan will always get to me - A more uncommon take, but Helmeppo CAN be FREAKY in bed. I know in most fanfics or any other works usually have Koby as the top or Helmeppo as the unsure insecure wreck who lets Koby take the lead and yes, that is absolutely true, Helmeppo IS after all, baby girl, HOWEVER, I propose the idea that we keep some haughtiness of Helmeppo in there during smeggsy time. PLEASE, I need to see a shy and nervous Koby with Helmeppo being confident for once

😞 - Helmeppo is awkward and a hardcore tsundere though and through while Koby is just an oblivious dork. Like, Koby just cannot take a hint or realize whenever he's being hit on or flirted with by other folks. Helmeppo of course does, and wishes a death wish on anyone who ever has. - HELMEPPO GETS BITCHES!!! I swear another common thing I see is Koby mostly being approached or surrounded by other possible love interest while Meppo sulks in a corner with brewing jealousy. And once again, I absolutely agree and get it immensely, BUT, as crusty and musty as Helmeppo is, you cannot tell me that that pretty baby girl ahh face won't get hit on by women, AT LEAST once in a blue moon. And every time this rare opportunity occurs, like how a pretty lady may approach Helmeppo first, and Helmeppo being pretty casual and chill with it, I see Koby unknowingly and absolutely SEETHING inside. - Helmeppo cries to Bogard always the moment he got comfortable with everyone in the ship. Not necessarily a KobyMeppo hc, but I believe wholeheartedly that Bogard serves as Helmeppos new Mother and Father figure. They smoke, play poker, drink together before Helmeppo eventually breaks down about something random while being absolutely intoxicated. Bogard rubs Helmeppos back w/o saying a word and thats it. - Koby is a cat person who has golden retriever energy while Helmeppo prefers dogs and has the personality of a sulking black cat

I know it’s been a while since I lasted posted any Coby Meppo or any op art in general and for that I apologize 😭😭

I’ve been wanting to pump out so many more art works and what not (especially comics) but there are just so many that I just can’t finish and honestly lost the motivation to do so

So I’m just gonna dump random doodles and panels from some comics that I DO plan on posting soon, and others are just sketches of things I made a long while back to reassure that I WILL be posting more soon

S O

For context this one, this is fanart I’ve made recently on a fanfic series set in an au where Koby is basically adopted by zeff and sanji, it’s honestly cute and supposedly part of a comic I’m working on (good lord please I hope I finish it) I highly recommend if ur interest, it’s called ‘welcome to my table (bring your hunger)’ on ao3

S O

THIS ONE IVE STARTED SINCE JUNE AKBSJAJE I’m probably never gonna finish it. Its messy and campy and It’s a panel on a comic on how exactly Koby dealt with Helmeppo right after Luffy left him on the OPLA akhekabsj

Anyhow have some lazy doodles
