Hello fellow ZoNami fans! This month is the shortest one in the year (though this year, we have one day more) but I have got to say, many many things happened after such a long time.
I won't even try to be delicate and will just say this openly: one certain SanNa fan was hella pissing the sh*t out of me this month, and be surprised or not, it served as a huuuuuge motivation for me to make moar ZoNami content and love our community and pairing more than ever before (so, SanNa fan, your attempt to turn us into SanNa fans so miserably failed I just want to laugh in your face). Wow.. am I being kinda dark? Sorry, I guess some of my "barriers" fell because of that person and I express whatever really comes to my mind... I need to get back to normal.
Anyway, here is the list of things that were edited/added this month:
(it was supposed to have 7 points but I didn't manage to finish the last one xD next time then!)

Anyway, here is the list of things that were edited/added this month:
- new/edited rules, very important if you are here to comment
- first movie moments with gifs! find them in the page Movies overseen by Oda
- chapter overviews 812-815 (see them all in the Miscellaneous page)
- hints section-an important information
- more hints (see them here: Hints from Color Spreads)
- last words from me
(it was supposed to have 7 points but I didn't manage to finish the last one xD next time then!)
1. RULES
One of the most important things I had to do after encountering "that person" is to change and add more rules for commenting. They are hella longer than before, but if you are a ZoNami fan (whether you support them as friends only or also see them as a potential romantic pairing), then trust me nothing much has changed for you. But for non-ZoNami fans, the changes are... a lot, I guess? You will see that for yourself.
The reason why I implemented them in the first place is because some non-ZoNami fans, even some of those who commented before this SanNa fan, were quite disrespectful and failed to realize this is a ZoNami fan blog.
All the talk regarding rules can be read here: Rules
General rules are as following:
0) spoilers are allowed
1) use only one name while commenting
2) be as polite as possible to others, don't use Caps Lock for the whole paragraph and please talk to the topic
3) respect each other and do not force your opinions on others if they don't want it. Also, be sure to state opinions as opinions and not facts
4) if possible, then don't jump to conclusions and accuse someone if it wasn't stated anywhere/or if it wasn't obvious from the behaviour
5) and as strange as it is, I request you not to order me around. However, I will definitely appreciate if you reminded me when I forgot something and/or adviced me about some things.
More rules for non-ZoNami fans (all the rules above also apply to them):
1) if you are here to defend your pairing, please do so ONLY in the "Why not "other" pairings?" page. Other places are not appropriate, because they are ZoNami-oriented, and not oriented on your ship.
2) respect other people's opinions and views, do not force them into believing something about your couple if they have been clear they don't believe in that - and it isn't therefore fine to repeat your opinion and trying to change other's opinion for so many times
3) this is NOT a shouting board where you only state your preferences over ZoNami - for that, there are general forums, and not a ZoNami fanblog. If something, then state the reasons why this and this and have a proper discussion godammit
4) if you are really here to discuss, then make sure to talk about actual, happened, non-speculative moments, and don't talk about the potencial future or "what-if" situations of your ship that isn't supported in this blog. Of course this 4) point is invalid for ZoNami fans, if they are worried about other ships and want to know honest opinion of me and other ZoNami fans on the matter, it is okay to ask.
5) and lastly, don't go around saying "your couple is shit", no one cares what you hate so why even come here, on the page of a pairing you hate? If something, then tell your hate to your fellow shippers, but not anywhere else where the pairing you hate, others support
Also, just to remind everyone, there is no canon/romantic pairing amongst the crewmembers (yet? XD), therefore (unless Oda confirms it with words himself) you shouldn't state your belief (that you think your pairing is canon) as a fact, state it as your humble opinion only.
Interestingly, about two days ago or something, I found this article in one fansite on facebook about One Piece pairings... and they stated practially a lot of things I did in the rules. The funny thing is, the admin of that web page has in the past done the exact opposite of what was in the article. Okay, I get the admin is just the one who publishes the articles and not writes them, but he/she sure is still contradicting herself/himself with what they post.
I am not the person to judge, but the admin of that fansite has published many articles "why zoro and robin" or some articles supporting other pairings in a more romantic way, even forcefully being like "they are so canon". And yet, now they publish an article in which is something like "don't state your belief that a couple is canon in your mind as a fact"? Like.... that is a big contradiction there, buddy.
Whatever. I still have one very very important article about shipping in general, and a lot of points that were in the rules will also be addressed there. Stay tuned~!

2. Movies overseen by Oda himself

3. Chapter overviews
This month, I managed to write overview of chapters from 812 to 815. Often than not, I don't have anything that interesting to say about them in the update, because I don't want to spoil it to others who haven't read the chapter yet.
However, there are some things I would like to say and what caught my attention.
First of all, Sanji treats the current matter very seriously, he didn't jump up happily after hearing he is gonna marry a woman. What's more, he didn't treat any way very differently towards Nami. Yes, he did give her the letter to Luffy, but he was talking to all of them, he wanted all of them to tell Luffy about this and he kicked all of them the same way out. And most importantly, his words of goodbye were meant to everyone, not any special message for Nami or anything. (chapter 813)
Second, we have a big and important coversation between the crew as to what they should do regarding Sanji's situation. Furthermore, Zoro and Nami even get into an argument (which didn't happen for such a long time, so I am very happy to see them interact like this ^^). If you want to read more about this, make sure to check chapter 814 overview.

4. Hints - an important additional info
Both in the main Hints page and in Color Spread page, I have added this important information regarding hints that... well, I have tried to keep in my mind all this time, but it could have sometimes gotten out of hands xD I don't know. This important information is as following:
By hints, I usually mean things that can contain any kind of ZoNami moment or ZoNami connection. It DOESN'T by any means have any romantic nature. Please bear that fact in mind, they are not there to prove ZoNami will be canon or anything of the sorts. Again, they are there mainly for entertainment purpose.

5. Added more hints ^^
That is to say, hints from chapters 733, 802 and 811 ^^ did some researching and many ZoNa fans also found these hints, so there we go ^^
Chapter 733 has a small connection of foxes regarding ZoNami oWo
Chapter 802 has many small hints, starting with an accesorry and ending with an umbrella xD
Chapter 811 has a theory of Zoro and Nami possibly going shopping together ^^
Interested? Then make sure to check all three of them here: Hints from Color Spreads

6. Final words from me
In the near future, I intend to finish making gifs and writing about the One Piece movies. Maybe in 2-3 months, I will manage them all. It will depend on my time schedule, I can't promise anything.
Also, I will add the ZoNa moments in the coresponding Moments page later on ^^
Due to all the stuff happening with that said SanNa fan and school and blogging, I didn't have any time to watch anime. But I did read some shoujo mangas... that honestly said were crappy, but I needed some "romancy" feelings if you know what I mean xD
It has also been a long while since I read some ZoNami fics and sometimes, I feel like reading some... the only problem is, I kinda don't know which one? Can someone please recommend me some good ones I (probably?) haven't read yet? ^^
As for the SanNa fan.. if someone is wondering, the argument happened both in the main page and in "Why not other pairings" page + some in Pirate Alliance Saga page. I snapped quite hard at her the last time, because I reached my limits and after that, she didn't comment anymore... I hope with this, the case is closed now. Hereby I would like to ask of other people, whether you are a ZoNami fan or not, to not reply to her past comments anymore. If she comes again, then we will see then ^^
