Feral for sure acts cute on purpose to get what she wants. If Simon ever says no to anything (unlikely) she can always pull out the puppy eyes and cute little pout 🩷 she does it to get out of a scolding too
I also think Simon gets cuteness aggression where feral is doing something so cute (existing) and he just wants to squeeeeze 💞 he never acts on it, knowing his strength and not wanting to hurt her, plus she would probably bite him. But if it's too overwhelming, hell just very gently pet her, with very tense, and shaky hands
Ohhhhh yes. She’s just always aggressive lmao but she’s so fucking cute to him sometimes that he just wants to squeeze her until she makes a squeaky toy noise. Scritching her also helps him get it out because he can be a little more vigorous about it lol. And she is utterly clueless about his feelings - like she knows she can get whatever she wants if she looks cute but she doesn’t realize just how much it affects him.

Shanks finding out as a kid that Buggy's body makes actual clown noises (his nose honking, his body tumbling sounding like a bouncy ball, etc) and developing a pavlovian response to squeaky toys and lamenting not getting to honk his nose anymore to his crew, because Shanks being a big fat loser about Buggy specifically is always funny (poor Benn thought the nose honking was metaphorical, like a cruel but fond joke Shanks indulged in, not an actual real thing Shanks wants and can do)
Beckman frowns. “Was this, like. A pigtail-pulling thing?”
Shanks squints up at him. He just drunkenly confessed to having lingering romantic feelings towards someone who is technically an enemy of their crew, someone the Navy will certainly try to use against him now that they remember he exists, and Beckman is asking if Shanks… wants to pull Buggy’s pigtails?
“Not literally,” Beckman says, rolling his eyes. “But the, the nose honking thing. You’d have a horn behind your back and go up and poke him and squeeze it at the same time—to tease him, right?”
Shanks shakes his head back and forth very slowly, eyes wide. He stands, makes a shushing gesture, and motions for Beckman to follow him out of their office. They creep down the hall. It’s late, only the people obligated to stay on watch are up and about, and they quickly realize their boss is trying to be discreet for some reason, so they leave him be.
The main deck is absolutely covered in sleeping bodies, ex-prisoners and Whitebeard Pirates alike who’d had nowhere else to go after the fighting was done. Buggy had been given a place of honor—a pair of crates, apart from the rest, with two dozen pieces of prison uniform donated to the cause of making him the closest thing to a mattress (after a blanket was laid atop the bundle of clothes) that any guest aboard could have.
Shanks tiptoes over to Buggy’s bedside, hushes Beckman again, and slowly lowers a finger to poke Buggy’s nose.
It squeaks. Like a bicycle horn.
“How?” Beckman breathes. Shanks, barely holding back laughter, shrugs helplessly.
A disembodied hand grabs Shanks by the collar and pulls him nose-to-nose with Buggy. “Shanks,” he growls. “Tell me you didn’t just do what I think you did, you bastard.”
“Shh, shh,” Shanks says, fits of giggles escaping between his words. “Quiet, Buggy, everybody’s asleep!”
“You’re lucky they are,” Buggy hisses, sitting upright and shoving Shanks back. “If there were witnesses to that childish behavior—aren’t you a grown man? Aren’t you an Emperor of the Seas? Why the hell are you—” Buggy spots Beckman watching this conversation from a safe distance just as Shanks takes it upon himself to tug at Buggy’s hair, still in the pigtails he’d been wearing all day. Buggy squawks and slaps Shanks’ hand away. “What is wrong with you? Are you drunk?!”
Shanks gives Beckman an intent look, a bright flush high in his cheeks. “Yes literally.”
After a moment, Beckman puts it together. He buries his head in his hands. “Oh my god.”

adding onto the Raine being surprisingly strong headcanon
Because Darius rarely gets picked up - he makes a little squeak anytime Raine does it because he's startled [like a squeaky toy sound] cause he looks squishy
Also Raine measures people's weight by instrument
"You weigh... at least 20 trombones."
"20 what?"
"🤨"
(I like to imagine both Raine and Darius would make a squeaky noise when grabbed/squeezed)
I think Darius would be a little bit embarrassed if Raine were to that to him if front of others. If Raine notices, it's up to you if they stop doing it because of that or do it even more now 😈

Wally the Squeaky Toy
🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
Today is such a beautiful day, Wally thought, humming a little tune as he walked around the neighborhood. He stopped to admire some flowers when....
Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak
A noise caught his attention. He stopped what he was doing, perking up at the sound.
Squeak Squeak Squeak
He tilted his head curiously. What was making that noise?
Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak
Letting his curiosity win, he set out in the direction the sound was coming from. He couldn't put his finger on it, but somehow the strange noise sounded familiar. He wanted to know what, or who, was making it.
Barnaby sat in front of his house, happily chewing on the hotdog squeaky toy Howdy had gifted him. Noticing Wally, he waved him down to show him his new favorite toy. "Wa-" He spat out the chew toy. "Wally! I got something cool to show you!"
Barnaby! Maybe he'll know what's been making that noise? Wally quickly walked over and stood before the big dog. "Barnaby! I've been hearing this weird noise today! Do you know what it is? What if it's a new friend! Can you help me find it?" Wally asked while bouncing on the balls of his feet.
Barnaby put a paw on Wally's shoulder. "Whoa! Slow down there, bud. I haven't heard anything out of the ordinary. Are you sure you haven't just misheard it?"
Wally rapidly shook his head. "It didn't sound like any animal that I know of! It was different, yet oddly familiar..." He trailed off, finally noticing the noise had stopped. Where did it go? Did he scare it away?
Barnaby rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He looked down after remembering his squeaky toy. Then realization came over him. Wally was probably hearing the squeaking of the squeaker. He looked back at Wally who was looking a little upset now.
Barnaby knew where he heard the squeaking before.
And Barnaby had a great idea.
He shrugged, trying not to give anything away. "I don't know, Walls. Why don't we try recreating it? Perhaps that will help you remember."
Wally brightened up at the idea, his eyes going wide with excitement. He knew Barnaby was the right puppet to go to! "Yes! But- How will we do that?"
"Like this!" Barnaby yelled, tackling Wally to the ground and squeezing his sides.
Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak
Lo and behold, Wally started squeaking just like Barnaby's chew toy.
How could Wally forget he had Squeakers in his sides!?
"Hey! Hehehe! Thahat tihihickles!" Wally giggled out along with the squeaks.
Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak
"Do you remember the sound now?" Barnaby teased, his tail thumping loudly against the grass.
"Yehehes!! Yohou're suhuhuch ahahaha goof!" Wally grabbed Barnaby's arms but didn't attempt to push him away.
Squeak Squeak Squeak
Barnaby laughed along with Wally, enjoying his squeaks and giggles. His friend was like a big squeaky toy! Squeaky toy.... Barnaby slowed down his tickling, glancing between the hotdog chew toy and Wally.
The only warning Wally got was a playful growl from the silly dog.
"Ah! Barnaby! Nohohoho! Nahaht Thahat!!" Wally squealed and kicked his legs as Barnaby started giving him tickly nibbles to his sides.
Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak
All Wally got as a response was another playful growl. To make it worse, Barnaby started making 'noming' noises!
"Nomnomnomnom! Wally, these squeaks taste sooo good! Ya should share them more often!"
Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak Squeak
Wally shook his head and lightly bapped at Barnaby's. Honestly, the big dog acted like such a puppy sometimes. He- may of found it cute. Even if it was at his own demise. But if Barnaby's tail wagged any harder he might end up blowing away the whole neighborhood!
Wanting to hear more of Wally's giggles, Barnaby nuzzled his stomach, pretending to sniff out more squeaks. "Hmmm.... I know there's more in here somewhere!"
"Thehere's noho mohohore!" Wally cried, his giggles growing nervous knowing Barnaby was up to something.
"I'm sure there is! I smell one right... Here!" Barnaby exclaimed, blowing a huge raspberry on Wally's left side, shaking his head as he did so to make it worse.
SQUEAK
"...."
"...."
Barnaby burst into laughter at the loud squeak that emitted from Wally. He was laughing so hard that he ended up toppling off the painter.
Wally sat up, catching his breath as he watched his friend roll around the grass in uncontrollable laughter. He couldn't help but to giggle along as well even though he was embarrassed to no end.
"Th-that was great!" Barnaby managed before falling into more laughter.
Wally rolled his eyes fondly, fixing his hair and trying to cool his flushed face.
He was definitely going to get his revenge later.
