#…written out like this it turns out my ideal canon end for shuggy is v similar to the post-series stuff kkg got in nart:

What would you consider perfect ending for shuggy that makes sense in canon and doesn’t destroy their character and what would be the most possible one?

my perfect, canon-compatible ending? honeymoon trip to laugh tale, definitely. shanks' new era has been established, the weight of the world taken off his hands, and with his newfound freedom he seeks buggy out. he finds someone who's learned that holding tight to bitter feelings leaves very little room for sweetness, and who's decided to make room for joy. they sail off into the sunset, and that's the last we see of them except for an epilogue-y "where are these side characters now?" cover page series with a cover that's just the pair of them laughing hysterically.

the most possible ending? 😬 age 39 curse hitting one or both of them, i'm afraid.
