It's "always an angel, never a god" from Buggy's perspective, but it's "always a god, never an angel" from Shanks' because they always wanted what the other had.
Buggy, who yearned for the approval of others, for them to see he can be useful, powerful, not invisible. He wanted to be acknowledged for his existence and his strength, instead of living in the shadow of others (specifically shanks). Imagine working so hard all the time, but constantly being overshadowed by a bigger presence that you just can't compete with. Always an angel, never a god.
And Shanks, who never looked down on Buggy, but envied him. Buggy, who had that natural charm, that could convince anyone to follow him to the ends of the world. He inspired, and Shanks never believed he had that power (until Luffy proved him wrong). Because to Shanks, he would always be the writer, not the muse. Always a god, never an angel.

Satoru & Suguru - Love in the dark by Adele
Take your eyes off of me so I can leave
I'm far too ashamed to do it with you watching me
Please, stay where you are
Don't come any closer
Don't try to change my mind
I'm being cruel to be kind
I can't love you in the dark
It feels like we're oceans apart
There is so much space between us
Baby, we're already defeated
Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Everything changed me
You have given me something that I can't live without
You mustn't underestimate that when you are in doubt
But I don't want to carry on like everything is fine
Please, don't fall apart
I can't face your breaking heart
I'm trying to be brave
Stop asking me to stay
And I don't think you can save me

The longer that Wild Blue Yonder sits in my head the more unhinged I am about it.
It is such a horrifyingly excellent metaphor for living in a world where technology seeps more and more into our daily lives, isolating us with mimicked connection.
The not-things didn’t have to operate on fear and anger, they just learned it was the most efficient way to achieve their goal. And they weren’t wrong.
If they’d decided to take the time to develop empathy perfectly, what would that have looked like? How beneficial could that have been for someone like the Doctor, who holds so many lifetimes of pain and regret that no one else’s brain could hope to comprehend it enough to relate?
Faked connection is so much worse than no connection at all. That hollowness when the algorithms and AI run along our social pathways, gobbling up our time, our energy, our love, with nothing of substance to give us in return. It potentially could, but it doesn’t. There is no logical incentive to operate that way. It is not efficient.
There is always something missing. Something crucial, something that genuinely hurts when you realize it isn’t there, but it is impossible to avoid now. You have to keep scrolling, one way or another.
I don’t have a conclusion for this, except to say when the Doctor stopped in a hallway alone to scream, slam, and kick at everything before continuing on with the task at hand, that was a whole ass mood.

so the beatles references are less in your face and more like. "hey if you make these connections, youll understand the story and twist 10x sooner than you would otherwise" and then also some of that sorta thing can be heard in like. memory uploads and distress signals

Yay here we go...for the THATW song ask game, Battle Cries for questions 1, 2, and 8?
What was your first impression of this song (and has it changed)?
oooo god I really really wish I could remember! I was listening to the album on shuffle when I first listened to TAD (blasphemous, really, I have to tell everyone I recommend this band to now to listen in order sdfdsfds), so I don't remember when exactly I heard it first or what I thought about it. I know that I heard it before I heard Pruning Shears, so it was my first exposure to the brilliant double vocals. I think, like a lot of THATW songs, it took a moment to grow on me, but now it's one of my top 3 on the album. Battle Cries my beloved 💜
2. How does this song make you feel?
Is "everything" a viable answer? 😅 Tbh, I think it's hard for me to pin down a specific feeling for this song, cause I've yet to truly process all of it. I feel fatigued alongside Madeleine's character as she sings "I'm dolled up love, don't I deserve to just walk away?" but also invigorated by "this isn't a break up, dear heart, it's a season finale," yet also fond and nostalgic over "We were gods, we were kids," and every time Joey whispers "I'm doing fine" at the end, I feel like all the tension in my body is gone. In general, this song just makes me feel some kind of positive.
8. Do you visualize any colors, images, or scenes when listening to this song?
Oooohhh... the most prominent visualization for this song for me is probably an art gallery—both just in the lyric "from the back of the gallery," but also because one of the strongest trains of thought I've had about this song is how it talks about performance (applause, plays, fictions, "sing your notes, play your part, then we'll leave). The idea of being looked at by people, growing up on the "stage of life" and never really being able to duck behind the curtain. I see the characters in this song both as people in the crowd at this art showing (idk why I see Madeleine as the artist and Joey as a friend coming to support her? "You've a knack for applause from the back of the stalls" maybe), and also as the people inside of the paintings. They're like mirrors of a sort that allow the characters to reflect on who they've been, who they are now, and who they have the potential to be.
