You do get the sense that the fallout of Roger's death and the Roger pirates disbanding not so much traumatized Buggy and Shanks indifferent ways but instead generated such drastically different reactions to the trauma.

While the trauma of everything seemed to push Shanks into the future, always constantly waiting for something, putting plans on hold and then later in place, for this great moment, this great coming that he sees on the Horizon. For Buggy it rooted him firmly in the past keeping him trapped in this grief masquerading as anger.

While Roger's death forced Shanks to grow up fast, it kind of arrested Buggy's development keeping him stuck in those same feelings, rooted int that same place.

You get the sense that Buggy's whole east blue schtick is just one long overdue rebellious phase one big fuck you to Roger and his ideals. He's rebelling against Roger's principles. One of their rules was don't steal from innocent people and Buggy was keeping a whole town in poverty. If Roger and Luffy's pirating styles are diametrically opposed to someone like Blackbeard, who might be the most literal pirate in the entire series, then buggy is the parody of that Blackbeard piratism. He is playing up cruelty, being the most piratey pirate possible, hell he's literally a clown on a stage. It's all a show! It's his own special way of trying to "get back at Roger" of trying to discard everything Roger taught him for this overacted, over exaggerated clownish cruelty. Mentally he never left that execution square. He is still 15, alone and scared.

Hell he literally never left either, while I'm pretty sure Shanks' booked it out of the east blue as fast as he could, Buggy never lef, might have never left, if not for Luffy. It's part of why Luffy bothers him so much, he's just like Roger everything that Buggy is trying hard to forget and here comes this kid, whose never even met the Captain but is wearing his hat, shoving it right back in his face.

It makes sense that he never leaves the east blue till Luffy literally forces him out of it (fucking with Luffy gets him captured and imprisoned) and it makes sense that it's Luffy that literally breaks him out of prison, literally sets him free, and on the path to greatness that maybe he was always meant to achieve (even if he trips his way into it). This boy that is tragically so much like his old captain but so beautifully unabashedly himself, is what Buggy needs to start letting go off the past, to start trying to move forward.

Maybe that's why Buggy, at what could arguably be described as his lowest moment, gets the strength to free himself from his own self imprisonment, realizing that even back then he was locking himself away and pinning his own dreams on Shanks. And, maybe for the first time ever, Buggy really own his dream. He declares to his tormentors and his crew and the entire world that; actually He wants to find the one piece, him, as captain of his own crew, this crew, not just a part of someone else's. That's his dream and he's willing to turn the world upside down to do it.

Imagine in TF ONE, the Matrix does indeed have a spirit and consciousness, however even this spirit doesn’t know what the frag to do with Orion/Optimus. Cause all the other Primes in this version were born Prime, and Optimus is the first one to have a life before him and wasn’t prepared for this new life at all. (And also not counting the emotional trauma he got right after D-16’s betrayal). Even with the Matrix’s vast wisdom, this is still its first time trying to help a Prime in this circumstance. And it just had to first time parent itself through this.

Optimus: “Wisdom from Primus below, answer my call. How should I silence these thorny memory?”

The Matrix: “Uuhhhhh. Do you wanna nap?”

my interpretation of apollo's attitude is that he definitely used to be an overachiever people pleaser who took his life and reputation very seriously when younger who, after going through the absolute psychological wringer that was,, *gestures* all that, now really doesn't give a single fuck about his image anymore and is very liberal with his rejections

like,, pre rome apollo was volunteering extra hours, he derailed every council meeting by not leaving any stone unturned, he was writing zeus' speeches and streamlining his proposals. modern day apollo spends the whole meeting texting on his phone and relishes on answering any questions with whatever answer he can think of that will cause the most psychic damage in the fewest words

to anyone who says he doesn't act like he's more than millenia old,, I really have no clue what you're talking about. he has that special brand of having absolutely no shame that only comes with very old immortal characters, he gives immense "immortal who's already been around the block and back" energy

A lot of one piece viewers hate on certain characters (heavy on Usopp and Sanji) because they don’t fit their framework of a “powerful” character. But the thing is sooo many characters in One Piece are loyal to a fault to their principles, and it just so happens that Usopp/Sanji are the biggest embodiments of this. Yes Usopp can’t abandon the Merry. Sanji can’t kick Kalifa. And this might’ve ended up dragging the fight down but the key message Oda wants to send is that your friends can do what you can’t, right? It’s why Oda chose Nami to fight Kalifa for Sanji instead, because she’s been in a situation where her friends had to do what she couldn’t for her. Even Luffy turned on Zoro in Whiskey Peak when he thought he harmed his friends, a person’s principles are just THAT important in One Piece.

“why can’t the two guys from fight club just be friends :(” bc the narrator wants to suck that man’s shit crazy style he’s literally gagging for it the entire movie even after he realizes tyler isn’t real. let’s use our brains.

VERY interesting that this moment took place in the "woman in house and wilson's building thinks they're gay/dating" episode

also. hugh laurie's little smirk here really adds a certain . . . dimension to this moment that would not be there if he'd responded to the joke in a different way

[theghostinabadbook]

Yeah, we are fucked up

[helloarchivist]

Oda's a funny motherfucker for a lot of reasons but I do think giving Shanks and Mihawk the same birthday and then making Shanks like half an inch taller is up there with the funniest stuff he's done. Chucklefuck Supreme behavior.

Finding that out for the first time had to be hysterical for them like. They've been out there sparring having a duel for hours somewhere when Shanks is finally like "Aw c'mon darling, go easy on me, it's my birthday tomorrow ;)"

Mihawk pauses for like 2 seconds before getting 20x worse than he already was bc oF FUCKING. COURSE.

[kacievvbbbb]

The gag is Zoro and Shanks aren’t that different. Zoro is also completely reckless with his body less so now but I have no doubt that even now if he needed to cut off any part of his body to win, to save his crew he would do it without hesitation just like shanks.

And the thing is Mihawk would still fight him as long as Zoro can pick up a sword Mihawk would still fight him and relish in it.

Zoro loses an eye, Mihawk still trains him.

And Shanks…..Shanks loses his mind a little bit

[bambieluv]

People genuinely think this is real, like people genuinely think toei animation is purposely making sanji's character bad because they personally don't like him

BEHOLD. all the characters in our fnafhs i could think of (that we have designs of. there's still some concepts for more kids floating around (glamrocks) ) NOT including parents!!!!! This will probably get bigger in the future but FOR NOW this is it

The blue circles mean they are family! and the characters without flags don't even really matter all that much, we needed more bg people to fill out classes and electives so dont even worry about them

plus dead people being greyed out (lol)
