it’s so sad to realize that in this scene, buggy understood that shanks shone in a way he didn’t— that shanks was better in aspects that he couldn’t fulfill. he recognized that shanks was the one to be trusted to follow in roger's footsteps and become the next pirate king. so, buggy gave up on being the pirate king, his dream that he could never voice because first, his captain wanted to achieve that dream, and then there was shanks too, who was everything buggy wasn't
how could he dream so big when shanks was there? when shanks was everything?
and in the rain scene after roger's execution, both were mourning. both were put in such a hard spot that shanks didn’t want to rush into the great pirate era, he didn’t want to do anything really (that depression must've been fucking astronomical) so, shanks told buggy he wasn’t going after the one piece. how else could buggy take that? he was hurt, he saw the image—no, the world he built around shanks becoming the next pirate king—crumble with a few simple words from shanks' mouth, it was as if his world ended

I HATE THIS I HATE THIS I HATE THIS!
Scott has been through soooo f*cking much at this point. SO much. And he's been gravely worried, and he's been horribly upset, and he's been flat-out terrified--most often when it comes to his friends and family being in danger.
But most of the time, he's really good at fighting off and masking that fear in favor of helping his friends and family through their fear, and he's been great at turning his fear into anger and determination against his enemies and struggles.
I don't think I have EVER, in all four years of this show, heard Scott be as utterly terrified as he was when Kate started to put that Berserker mask on him.
That SCREAM.
The SHAKING.
The STRUGGLING against the bonds.
Holy f*ck, Tyler Posey, because you genuinely made me tear up.
All the sh*t that Scott has been through, and THIS is what made him scream like that.
And I don't know if it's because she's gonna turn him into the killer that he's never wanted to be, or because she's going to sick him on his own pack and hope that they kill him, or because he's helpless and hopeless and has no idea how to get out of it, or if it's a combination of all three.
But my heart just SHATTERED, because he is TERRIFIED...and he's all alone.
And I DESPISE that.
And the thing is, I KNOW the pack is coming to save him, and I love that everyone was on the same page around the same time (Derek and Braeden going back to the house and finding Scira gone and the place trashed, Noah and Stiles suspicious that Scira hadn't shown up yet, and Lydia trying to get through to Deaton and succeeding so that they could get Scira's location) and was able to put the pieces together fast enough to get there ASAP.
But they're not gonna get there ASAP enough, and when they do get there, Kate's right--they're gonna have no idea that they're fighting their own Alpha, and I get the feeling that whatever she does to him will make Scott not care that he's fighting his own pack.
And that thought is F*CKING TERRIFYING.
So excuse me while I scream right along with Scott and almost sob my eyes right out of my head.
On a more positive note, I absolutely loved that conversation between Liam and Brett, and I love that Brett and Liam are kind of on the same team (in life, that is) now, because of what Scott did. I also love that Brett helped Liam on the field, and that he gave him that little pep talk about how amazing Scott is, and how amazing Liam can be too. And while my heart is breaking that Liam feels like Scott abandoned him, I have a feeling that, when he learns what really happened, he'll understand, and god forbid, maybe he'll actually TALK TO HIM for crying out loud.
Also, it looks very promising for Parrish getting Argent out of there, and that pep talk was amazing, and Parrish is seriously such a great guy and just so smart and I love him SO FREAKING MUCH. And his EYES GLOWED, and now he's using his power, and Argent is using his adrenaline, and that is PROMISING, and maybe they'll both be OKAY, and GOD I FREAKING HOPE SO BECAUSE IF WE LOSE ANYONE THIS SEASON I'M GONNA SCREAM!
ANYWAYS.
I HATE THIS I HATE THIS I HATE THIS, and I really hope SOMEBODY in the pack is smart enough to pick up on Kate's trickery and SAVE Scott instead of killing him, because THAT IS THE LAST THING WE NEED GOSH DARNAT!!
Using another couple of not-gifs of Liam and Brett's and Parrish and Argent's conversations because they were the only positive things that happened in the last ten minutes and I need something to keep me from crying. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
(Okay but again, THE WRITING IN THIS SEASON I SWEAR TO GOD! <3 <3 <3 <3)
P.S. No, I didn't forget about Peter and Malia--I just chose to ignore it.
Update: I started the next episode and OH THANK GOD!!
THE TATTOO!!
THE TATTOO IS GONNA BE THE THING THAT SAVES US!!
Scott is still under Kate's control, but at least the PACK will know that it's really Scott, because TATTOO!!
I HAVE NEVER BEEN AS HAPPY ABOUT THAT TATTOO AS I AM RIGHT NOW!!!
ANYWAYS.
