#time and space’s most dysfunctional polycule

rose and the master CANNOT get along because if they put their powers together for more than five minutes, they would actually be able to force an “I love you” out of the doctor for both of them, and if that happens, the universe will explode.

What’s your favourite thing about shuggy cross guild and mishanks? Why you ship them?

what i like most about those ships is BUGGY i love teasing and tormenting and driving that clown up the wall! I guess i get the most out of it with Shanks because of their past and unresolved tensions hahah... also i love making myself feel bad over fictional characters and they give me that good pain! They make me laugh but also grind my teeth in agony...

As for cross guild, well, it was the thing that motivated me to pick up op again (i was stuck at fishman island for a few years), i needed to see what the fuck was that combination of characters teaming up all about!? And what do u kno...it was about tormenting Buggy...which i love to see... and also about giving him the spotlight he deserves (even if it was the result of failing upwards one too many times but i believe in his odd charisma) and the means to chase his dreams again! I really just like Buggy ok!! Cross guild is hilarious as a very dysfunctional polycule - but really, while Buggy is their punching bag (the violence is very much played for laughs and i genuinely feel bad for him but as i said i like pain) he also stood up for what he believed in when it mattered and challenged croc and hawk's pessimistic/realistic outlook on what it means to be a pirate.

for the record I can't say i actively ship mishanks really, honestly i didn't care about them as characters enough (i swear i care about them a little bit more now) for me to get invested in their relationship. Although i can see them having this fling in their youth which Shanks fumbled too but unlike Buggy, Mihawk has standards and, as my friend put it, deserves someone who owns more than two pairs of pants. Which brings me to crochawk which you did not ask about but i just want to elaborate on that too. At first i didn't pay their dynamic too much attention because of my lack of interest in Mihawk (again, sorry) but slowly warmed up to it, they both have a distrust in others and i think they'd be very good at giving each other the personal space they need while also being fucking weird about forming a genuine bond because idk if they have ever had a normal and balanced relationship in their life (i also ship dofuwani so yeah let's just throw one more ex to the mix).

Alright! Enough rambling! Hopefully you got something out of this and if you didn't...too bad. Also final note: even though I'm a shuggy truther myself it's all just my personal interpretation. Shipping is supposed to be fun! Or a way for you to experience intense emotions you don't really get to experience in your personal life or whatever! Don't take me too seriously im begging you

For the "send me a series" thing: Farscape!

Favourite character: I am so very cheap for villains, and Scorpius ticks all my boxes. Actually very competent at villaining, manages to radiate weapons-grade charisma and Dom Energy despite looking like a salt mummy in a gimp mask, kind of has a point, and is a really rather interesting take on the tired old Disabled Villain trope.

Second favourite character: Aeryn Sun. Because I am also cheap for stoic yet woobie deadpan snarker characters, and also for women who could yeet me.

Least favourite character: ... I suspect I'm meant to like Stark more than I do, but right now he's feeling a bit like your GM's irritating pet NPC who keeps showing up to do info dumps and give quests.

Character I'm most like: I suspect somewhere between Pilot, Aeryn and Crichton on a bad day.

Favourite ship: I could kind of ship everyone with everyone in a massive dysfunctional space polycule, but the really fun links in there are John/Scorpius and Scorpius/Braca. Also Pilot and Moya's QPP.

Least favourite ship: D'Argo and Chiana are such an r/relationships post in the making.

Favourite moment: oh there are so many. Is it the bodyswap episode with the Space Skeksis? The time our brave heroes, in best Adventuring Party style, end up knocking over the same bank three times in three episodes? The second time aliens try to convince John he's back on Earth and it was all a dream?

Rating: 9/10. Not perfect, and it does have a few duff episodes, but when it's good it's this absolutely delicious wild kinky space fever dream.
