MY NAME IS JACKIE. DON’T BOTHER WRITING IT DOWN, I KNOW YOU’LL REMEMBER IT. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR, EVERY NIGHT BEFORE YOU FALL ASLEEP AND EVERY MORNING JUST AFTER YOU WAKE UP, YOU WILL SEE YOURSELF AS YOU ARE AND KNOW, INTRINSICALLY, THAT JACKIE EXISTS AND SHE IS BETTER THAN YOU. EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO PUT ON A CUTE OUTFIT? JACKIE IS BETTER THAN YOU. EVERY TIME YOU THINK YOU DID WELL ON A TEST? JACKIE IS BETTER THAN YOU. THE AFFECTION AND SUPPORT OF YOUR FAMILY, THE PRAISE AND RECOGNITION OF YOUR CAREER— THEY ARE AS NOTHING BEFORE THIS FINAL, ULTIMATE TRUTH: JACKIE EXISTS, AND SHE IS BETTER THAN YOU. SHE IS MORE THAN A GODDESS, SHE IS THE CORPOREAL MANIFESTATION OF THE CONCEPT OF PERFECTION. SHE IS A DIVINE GIFT. HER COMPLEXION GLOWS LIKE THE EARLIEST RAYS OF DAWN LIGHT TOUCHING THE SOFTEST OF LILY PETALS ON A STILL POND, PRISTINE IN THE HIGH MOUNTAINS. HER HAIR IS A LUSCIOUS CASCADE OF CHOCOLATE AND SILK THAT REMAINS FLAWLESS WHETHER SHE IS MODELING IN PARIS OR RIGHTEOUSLY SMITING HER ENEMIES INTO A SUPPURATING PUDDLE OF THEIR OWN DESPAIR. HER MIND IS A PRECISION INSTRUMENT THAT BEARS NO COMPETITION; HER CHARM MELTS STEEL AT FIFTY PACES. MORTALS ARE DUST BEFORE HER. THE FINEST ARTWORKS OF THE WORLD ARE MUD PIES AT HER FEET. EVERYTHING YOU ARE, EVERYTHING YOU CAN EVER ASPIRE TO BE IS SO MEANINGLESS AS TO BE NONEXISTENT COMPARED TO THE FACT THAT JACKIE EXISTS, AND SHE IS BETTER THAN YOU. SO CRY, PEASANT, AS YOU KNEEL BEFORE YOUR FINAL GOD.

What’s your opinion on relationship between Roger and young shuggy

Making this quick because I think I've talked about this already an awful lot (and I love it. Please. Anything that has to do with young Shuggy makes me go feral every time).

A lot of people believe Roger played favorites when it came to his kids because. I mean. Look at the scenes we have. Giving Shanks his hat (in fact, both of his hats in that Wano scene) and in general not paying that much attention to Buggy unless it's to tell him to stay behind instead of going to Laugh Tale because he is sick (which is literally what any father would do and this only shows that he cares for him).

But I think he loved both a lot, just in different ways. And I believe that both ended up pretty messed up with how they were raised.

From what we've seen, the flashbacks we have are from Oden's POV and Buggy's. We never have Roger's or Shanks' or even Reyleigh's interpretations of what happened. So, from what we've seen, I think Roger put a lot of pressure on Shanks to be his legacy at a very young age and Buggy interpreted this with envy and thought Roger didn't care about him the same. Which is a valid thought, especially from what we've seen. But I personally like to think Roger went just a little bit harder on Buggy because of the typical "You have a lot of potential but you have to fight harder than the rest to achieve it and by ignoring you I am giving you an opportunity to be independent" or something like that. Because I think it makes more sense than Roger straight-up playing favorites.

Seriously, where is my scene of Buggy resenting Shanks and saying that he was Roger's favorite and Shanks being extremely fucking confused because "What do you mean his favorite?! He only talked about you, moron!".

So to summarize, I think we don't have that much content to have a specific canon interpretation, but in my opinion, I think Buggy's POV is really altered by his jealousy and envy toward Shanks and it only shows that Shanks was also under a lot of pressure. But that doesn't mean Roger didn't love them. Those were his kids!!!! That is their dad!!! I'm not fighting anybody about this. So he loved them but since he knew he was dying he trusted Shanks a little bit too much being the face of the new generation and gave Buggy a bit of a harsher treatment because he thought he had to work more than the average.

And that is how you end up with two sons: A failguy with a savior complex who is always sacrificing himself and drinking himself stupid and a clown with an inferiority complex that only knows how to survive instead of fighting for what he wants.

Alright! There’s no way I’m gonna admit who am I after sending this important question! Over the course of one piece we see some highly emotional reactions to cause buggy to fall apart. NSFW starts now. Do you think it happens in bed too?

I think Buggy and Shanks play a game in which Shanks tries to make him cum so hard he literally falls apart and if Shanks manages to do it more than thrice in a row Buggy has to be nice to him for a whole day. Since Shanks and Mihawk are super duper besties, somehow Mihawk ends up finding out (meaning: Shanks won't stop talking to him about his sexual life) and you can just imagine the fun Crocodile and Mihawk have with him when they form Cross Guild.

How do you think shuggy conversations looked like? I can’t imagine them not arguing 😂

headcanons or just thoughts, whatever you prefer 😂😂

definitely lots of very silly arguments. the north pole/south pole thing is their introduction to us for a reason.

but i do also think, when there isn't so much attention on them, when they're left to their own devices, they can calm down a little. get a little less ridiculous, a little more sincere. you know, the conversation about what they want to do in the future, even if it does involve a bit of poking fun at each other's goals, is still a pretty serious topic for a couple of kids to discuss unprompted.

and this one has no basis in canon, but i think the second someone is even the slightest bit cruel to one of them, the two of them will team up to be so mean and so childish in that person's direction it'd make your head spin.

I keep thinking about "I think you know how to love better than any of us. That's why you find it so painful." and how horribly Buggy it is. I can imagine Rayleighl saying it to Buggy a year after or before the execution. I can imagine him dismissing it at first because what the hell is that supposed to mean? But thinking about it way too much down the line. Every time he hears about the one piece or Roger, every time he sees or reads about Shanks or anyone from the old crew... He loved too much and now he keeps hurting himself. worst part is? He can't stop

What would happen if buggy stayed with shanks? Who he would be? How their dynamic would work out? Would they be happy?

*sighs*

anon, you’ve successfully identified my roman empire. literally the second post i ever made about shuggy was ultimately about this question.

two possibilities i've considered (one i think adheres pretty close to canon, and one a "slightly better communication skills than canon" au) under the cut.

Does buggy cares about shanks? I think he does but I don’t have any proof. Would he help him if something bad happened? Would he come to his aid if shanks asked? I know it’s extremely unlikely scenario, but I am sure shanks would come, but buggy? Would he choose his pride and grudges?

y’all’re asking me all the questions i obsess over today, huh?

yeah, as you say we really have no proof that buggy still cares for shanks in any way. we can claim he’s in denial, or suppressing his feelings, or got hurt too bad as a kid to ever show that care again, but there’s no concrete evidence for any of that. unless you’re a chapter 581 cover truther, we don’t see buggy express positive feelings towards shanks in the present day.

and something else to consider here: regardless of whether buggy would want to come to shanks’ aid, would buggy think he should?

like, what situation could shanks end up in now where buggy’s help would be of any use? what could buggy do for shanks that a dozen other men (much closer to shanks in both proximity and emotional honesty) couldn’t?

wouldn’t he just be making himself vulnerable—showing a weakness of his heart—for no reason?

Can I share my dream shuggy ending? I want their past roles reversed. Buggy is so close to getting one piece, I want him to stay behind to help shanks and lose that chance because he chooses to. Shanks can die then, more angst, or be alive, or be permanently weakened. I just really like the idea of laugh tale being reversed at the end. I would find that adorable af. Probably not possible but adorable af. Hope you will like this vision, of buggy taking care of him

aw, that’s really lovely, anon.
