#I NEVER KNOW

[starsofang]

Price loves his sweet wife, all smile and charm, all pretty and wits. But oh, does he love when she gets mad.

He doesn’t mean to get you riled up, but he also doesn’t mean for his pants to get all tight and uncomfortable when it happens. He doesn’t mean a lot of things, actually—just like how he didn’t mean it when he told you about an old broad that made numerous attempts to sweeten him up down at the bar his crew often resided.

There was no broad, nor was there anything but drunken laughter shared with his men.

But the sight of you, his precious wife, spouting out annoyed curses, rolling your pretty eyes until they nearly fell out your head, yapping on about how you’ll happily stomp that bitch in the curb the next time you see her? It’s like injecting him with a poison that had his dick growing so hard in his pants he could feel its own pulse.

Price had already married you, practically got on one knee to pop the question the moment you two met, but seeing that nasty side of you stirred something sinister in him. Naturally, he did everything he could to lure it out just to ease the aching need he had for you.

Sex with you was already spellbinding, but when you were flushed hot with bitter jealousy, pretty hands pressed firm against his chest as you slammed your hips down on his weeping cock in a repetitive motion was a sight he wished he could frame forever.

He’d never tell you that most (all) times, he was only telling you little, white lies to get your rage pumping. It was his dirty secret.

You certainly never seemed to mind taking it out on him, which was exactly the goal. Hell, you even let him paint your walls pearly white as an apology for getting so worked up, something so utterly rewarding to him.

He loved this calm life with you. Wouldn’t change a thing about it. But the occasional angry wife, spitting burning fire and only egging him on? Yeah, that was something he didn’t mind becoming a routine, so long as his cock was the thing you were using as your release.

What is your favourite and your least favourite buggy moment?

AH! I love this question. My personal favorite moment is the scene in Impel Down where Luffy gives Captain John's armband to Buggy. I made a whole thread on Twitter breaking down exactly why I love it so much; it's such a criminally underrated moment for his character and reflective of all the potential he has.

As for my least favorite, I guess I'd have to say... the scene in Loguetown where Buggy stages Luffy's execution? It's not out of character for him to act the way he does -- not at all -- it's just that, with what we know now, revisiting that arc leaves much to be desired. Loguetown is such an important setting for Buggy: it's where he parted ways with Shanks, lost his captain, and solidified his life's direction. However, watching Loguetown Arc, we don't see much of a reaction from him besides his desire for revenge, which I find strange. Luffy's almost-execution in particular is what leaves me semi-frustrated.

Oda might not have had everything worked out about Buggy's character at the time of that arc's initial release in 1999, but in hindsight, it just feels chock-full of missed opportunities. Considering OPLA has yet to delve into Buggy's backstory, I think the upcoming Loguetown Arc would be a great way to retroactively give Buggy's presence more weight. Loguetown could easily trigger his memories of the past; then, instead of info-dumping, the flashback could double as both exposition and further insight into his character. Perhaps it comes to him as a traumatic flashback, in bits and pieces. How would he feel, being on the same exact execution platform where his captain died, this time being the man holding the sword? Would he hesitate, realizing what he's doing? Would he recognize the parallels?

I think Buggy ultimately giving in to his desire for revenge against Luffy would demonstrate how he always holds himself back. OPLA's whole "map-MacGuffin" ordeal twists Buggy's character in a different direction by implying that there's only one map to the Grand Line that he could get to start his journey (seriously, how is there only one map everyone is fighting over), but in the manga, it's clear that Buggy already had a map. He says he planned to start doing business in the Grand Line, but considering how much time he spent in East Blue, it makes you wonder... why wasn't he doing that years ago? The Doylist answer is, of course, that our protagonist needs to find him first, but narratively speaking, Buggy certainly did not need to wait as long as he did. Luffy is the one who truly gave him the push he needed; Buggy was wading in shallow waters because he couldn't bring himself to take the plunge. His grudges, his insecurities: they weigh him down. He believed he had no potential, but that was always an excuse, a self-fulfilling prophecy -- it was because of that lack of faith in himself that he limited his own potential.

And where does that all lead him? To Loguetown: the same place where he started. How stifling that is for his character -- how eye-opening. Ironically, Loguetown Arc feels similar to Buggy himself; it could be so much more, but it feels restricted by the time in the narrative in which it was placed. I don't dislike the scene at all, but it's frustrating to have such a perfect moment for his character and yet no substantial takeaways. It's good foreshadowing for Buggy's past, sure, but it could be even better if we saw a wider range of his emotions. His entire past doesn't have to be revealed in Loguetown, but his actions and dialogue should better reflect what it means for him to be there.

There's something so fragile about Edwin that makes me be like "whatever you say my beautiful Edwardian baby boy"

[generaltrashshecox]

Idk why but my brain won't leave me alone so I'll just post my thoughts here:

Angsty antmien one-sided(?) ianthony

Damien notices how Anthony looks at Ian. Soft eyes and brilliant smiles... He also notices how he gets not even a fraction of that. Damien who's already self conscious and doesn't even understand how Anthony looked his way seeing how he laughs at Ian's jokes and can't seem to contain himself around him. Damien just laughs along with them ignoring the red flags.

Damien who lets himself watch as Anthony stares so adoringly at his best friend to only get soft glances. He can see there's affection in his eyes. He knows Anthony enjoys him, even says he loves him but not to that degree. He's not comparable to the love of the sun.

He could say he's the moon but he's not, not really. That's too comparable and he's not even close. He's more of a cloud if anything one that abstracts the view for a moment before he's blown away. But he stays. He knows he shouldn't he should stick up for himself but the way Anthony looks at him sometimes... It melts him. And when Anthony fucks him softly gently whispering how beautiful he is through closed eyes he wants to believe him. He wants to so badly...

Anyways I don't know what this was but uh... Enjoy?

Been assuming that "Like Old Times but even nicer" referred to their time in Heaven...

But what if Aziraphale was literally just referring to their relationship on earth.

Like think about it, the last few years they've been essentially unemployed/retired, and Aziraphale (and Crowley to an extent!) really did like helping out the Humans. (so much so, they try to project onto a couple in order to help them)

And in several flashbacks we see Aziraphale and Crowley hanging out together and helping the humans (not so much in the Blitz one, but they did help out the woman who ran the Ladies of Camelot show) And in those flashbacks, they both, usually together, often make judgment calls about what Heaven and Hell should be doing (like with Job).

So Aziraphale could basically just be saying let's go do all the good stuff we used to do together on earth except this time, we can make those same decisions and judgment calls we've Been making for millennia BUT we won't have to worry about being caught or getting into trouble, we'll actually have to be listened to, we can still find time to socialize, and we'll be Safe.
