💜 = Does your muse date others based on their appearance or personality, or both?

I would say both. I personally don’t believe anyone would date a person they don’t think is attractive and that doesn’t exactly mean they’re shallow. There’s a saying in my language that, if translated, would go something like “who loves an ugly person thinks they’re beautiful”. (Sometimes you don’t find a person attractive but as you get to know them and see beauty in who they are inside, you start seeing it outside too). 

Ace would not date someone purely for their appearance. He doesn’t need that kind of thing, a pretty veil covering a rotten carcass. That doesn’t bring warmth. That doesn’t bring answers.

💍 = Big or small wedding?

I see everything pointing to a big wedding.

The manga, the anime - and now Novel A, judging by the translations that are circulating - show that Ace loves to party, whether it is with the Spades or when he climbs aboard the Big Top.

Therefore, Ace having a big wedding - whatever that means, for we could be talking of number of guests or, say, how many days it amounts to - sounds more canon-like to me, even if by ‘big’ we only look at the impressive guest list composed by his crew(s), his brother(s) and their friends, his own friends from adventures we don’t know about, Dadan and her bandits and Garp. Think of the logistics!

Even if so big an event seems like an impossible event canon-wise, for it would be foolish to announce the wedding of Portgas D. Ace to the world - which to the World Government would also sound like the confirmation of Roger’s bloodline through said union, Whitebeard’s manpower should not be underestimated. Again, it sounds very much like Ace and, dare I say, how Oda would make it if it had ever been in his plans - such a big pirate middle finger to the world and the excitement it might bring.

Personally, I love the small wedding idea just as much. I believe a specific set of circumstances might have Ace go with a small wedding even if it isn’t his style, such as the degree to which he is being chased and, thus, the degree to which his fiancé or fiancée is endangered. 

✿ - laugh

When talking of genuine laughs, Ace’s are very childlike, ringing with the softest tones he can produce, though not high-pitched. His laugh is bright as his flames are. 

For this reason, it’s a laugh that can’t help cheering up those who hear it. It’s otherwise hard to describe, for it’s not outrageous or shy, somehow sounding adequate regardless of context.

His laugh can bring a smile to another’s lips but never mockery. It can be a bit louder then usual if it comes from partying with his crew(s).

There’s a curious duality to Ace’s laugh: on one hand, it shows the pleasant young man he is when unprovoked, laid-back and fun to be around it, a stark contrast with the picture of a criminal or filthy pirate. On the other, while genuine, it also has more to do with Ace as he should have been - a happy little boy who turns into a relaxed young man - than with who he is - a not-so-happy little boy who keeps on dragging his internal issues for all his life and brings the greatest shocks of his childhood to his adult life in the manner of neurological disorders.
