#Shuggy my beloved

[goldenandhappy]

Something about how the only blemish on Luffy's strawhat - on Shanks's strawhat - was made by Buggy.

This is the Cross Guild Polycule to me (-as guys, I see it differently when genderbent)

( I can't see Crocodile ever having genuine feelings for Buggy, maybeee Mihawk but I don't think so)

[anetesenpai]

*taps microphone* Shuggy nation can I get a loud honk???

Buggy having an affinity for makeup since young and experimenting on Shanks got stuck in my head so here you go.

It's been a while... here's some soft shuggy for you !

Luffy realising he can officiate marriages and being asked by Shanks to officiate the shuggy marriage. See the vision. When asked who objects, both Luffy and Buggy raise their hands and Benn(best man) and Shanks have to lower them down and beg Luffy to proceed. He spends the entire ceremony insulting Buggy.

I've always thought Rayleigh would be the one officiating the wedding and Luffy could be sort of like a best man (or whatever important title in a wedding idk), but fundamentally he'd have the same reaction as here. BUT Luffy being the one to officiate it is even more hilarious. Shanks would be the only one excited about this decision, actually (it's the one thing Buggy has let him choose and now he regrets it). And when asked who objects he'd raise his hand like 100% seriously and I think Nami would have to literally go up there to hit him so he stops acting like a jerk. HOWEVER I'm a real fan of "Luffy and Buggy end up getting along but Buggy is a bit too done with his attitude" so another concept for this is Luffy being all excited and joking while Buggy is seriously rethinking all of this. In both situations, Shanks' mind is definitely not there and he's just thinking about the honeymoon already.

marco responding because if nothing else it'll make shanks mad: heyyy~ bugs

Disabled Buggy Ideas!!!!!!

Buggy who uses his Devil Fruit as a mobility aid on days when his joints are Extra Sore, especially his ankles/knees/etc.

Buggy who sometimes gets vertigo and so cannot always float around bc of the dizziness. On days like that, he has physical mobility aids.

His first aid was a can - Mohji and Ritchie stole it when the crew was still pretty new - Buggy was about 15, Mohji about 11, and Ritchie was a tiny little thing. They had noticed Buggy cringed a little more on certain days, when he walked or got up or sat down. They presented it to him with big smiles and Buggy wound up crying. They decorated it together.

His second aid was another cane, this one a gift from the crew, now bigger. They carved it and went absolutely ham with decorating it but sealing it well - his first one was a little worse for wear, paint chipping, wood a little roughed up. That one gets retired to a place of honor for Buggy's precious keepsakes. The new one is a bit sturdier too.

The third one came from someone on the crew actually. It was a hand me down. One of the tailors on board had recently gotten gifted a new walker to replace their forearm crutches. And when she was downsizing, she asked Buggy if he'd ever used them before, if he knew anyone who did. Those become his favored items because of the versatility, the cuffs, and how it evens out the pressure on his hands/wrists/elbows/shoulders.

At some points, he also gets braces, compression stuff, etc.

After Impel Down, his body was damn near debilitated. He was good for playing up the prestige and audacity and faux confidence, but Shanks saw through him immediately when he offered a ride on the Red Force. Luckily, an allied ship under them was also there and had the means and room to carry Buggy's accidentally-acquired men, women and others who sworn fealty to him. With strict orders from Buggy to mind their manners and to assist where they could, deferring to the ship's crew, they were set up there by majority. Few remained on the Red Force specifically.

Once away from prying, assessing, worshipping eyes, Buggy drops a few of the many masks he wears. He sags a little, moving to squeeze his eyes shut, pressing his palms over his eyes and grimacing as he tries to shift his weight.

A warm, calloused hand presses over his eyes. Buggy inhales shakily, letting his own hands move so Shanks could block the light from his gaze. He leaned into the touch.

"Hey," the redhead says softly, "Hongo wants to check you over. Do you want my room or the medbay?"

A strangled noise, not unlike a drowning cat, escapes the clown's mouth. Shanks shuffles closer, not touching, but close enough for his body heat to be felt.

"Okay," he breathes, "Okay, I've got you, Bugs..."

Buggy lets himself be led by his best friend, his Red, his Shanks, docile and blinded and dizzy. At some point he can Feel two people join them, and Shanks's voice, carefully soft and quiet and familiar, guides him along with gentle murmurs of "step in two, yeah, there you go"s and "duck your head for me, perfect"s.

At one point while stepping down the stairs, Buggy's right knee gives a sharp and deafening CRACK, white-hot-ice-blue pain shooting up and down his leg and hip. He chokes on it, body trying to split, to get away from the pain, and he teeters, teeth grit and breath stolen. A warm chest at his back steadies him, and Buggy gags at the disoriented agony. Shanks is oozing worry and anxiety, Hongo is nearly vibrating, Buggy is trying to keep from just falling to pieces on the floor- so Benn just rubs the blue haired pirate's shoulder. "It's alright," he soothes softly, gently, baritone warm and assuring. "I'm going to pick you up, alright? It's alright, I carry Cap over there all the time when he gets drunk as a skunk. Can I touch you?"

Buggy barely manages a nod, and he's only mildly ashamed of how tightly he clings when Benn lifts him so carefully, so kindly, breathing through the bubbles in his eyes and throat, the electricity in his veins and nerves. The soft pop-clicks of his body splitting and reconnecting filled the air.

They take Buggy to Shanks's room, hoping it would be less stressful. The preliminary check could be done with the generic things Hongo can grab and bring along, anything requiring something more severe would need preparation anyway, and it would take time to be able to execute safely. It was a hefty choice, but one none involved with could regret when Buggy, still coiled tightly and far too pale, clung tightly to Shanks's wrist, hand still over his eyes, like it was the only thing keeping him sane. Bad blood aside, he really was rather attached.

Maneuvering was tedious but nobody breathed a hint of complaint, not even Benn when Shanks immediately climbed into his own bed, gesturing to have the other captain given to him.

Hongo's initial assessment had him pursing his lips and breathing through fury, had Benn aching for a cigarette and Shanks visibly counting aloud to avoid an explosion of his Haki. Buggy was semi coherent through it all.

The next day, Hongo strictly tells Buggy to rest Or Else, to Especially Not Climb Or Run, to minimize walking as well. The stress fractures alone were bad, but the inflammation, the swelling, the EVERYTHING had his nerves on edge. Buggy, knowing not to question a medical professional, concedes. Shanks capitalizes on the Buggy Time, and he whines and complains the whole time he has to be away from his Bugaboo.

Galdino is a little skeptical, especially given how his own injuries were deemed not as severe. Buggy's embarrassed by the princess treatment, as Shanks calls it ((as Roger once called it when they were young and Buggy's flare ups really began in full, to Crocus's endless worry and frantic searches)). Meeting up with the Big Top yields answers yet brews more questions in turn as the other's immediately touch base with Hongo while some others scurry off once updated to 'grab the goods', only to return with a forearm crutch and colorful ace wraps.

It's a wild ride start to finish and Galdino is left with many, MANY questions, the other's as well, but Buggy's crew as well as Shanks's set them straight pretty quickly. After all, someone else's medical records are not your business and you have no right to pass judgement on someone's use of aids.

It's normalized for people in the Buggy Pirates to use different mobility aids, to see people out and about with things that they can use to better their quality of life and express themselves therewith.

Buggy's pillow case outfit is a play on that - on using his Devil Fruit for movement and ease of motion, for hiding his braves or wraps and for the additional bonus of playing on the perceptions of others.

Mihawk and Crocodile, once they join, are not privy to what is beneath the onesie. The former can, however, tell on occasion when Buggy's having a bad flare up, though not why.

It's only after Buggy tells them, either by choice or circumstantial events, the truth that they put together these pieces.

And from there? Well, neither of them are particularly Typical themselves. Mihawk has a nerve disorder which gives him difficulty with feeling pain. Crocodile is an amputee. They're not about to judge for any of that. They will however judge Buggy's tendency of pushing himself too far too frequently.

Just. Chronically ill/disabled Buggy. I love himmmm

[sunbloomdew]

so after literal years i'm back to watching one piece (don't ask me what possessed me, i wouldn't be able to tell you. actually i am able, it was shuggy content)

i'm at episode 4 and the fact that shanks left out the fucking devil fruit in an open chest, just right there on the counter, IN GRABBING DISTANCE OF A CHILD???? red haired shanks you're such a dumbass i love you. never babysit anyone ever

[sugarpsalms]

because I'm in danger of posting TOO many snippets of QoQ, have a lil peak at the one coming after it's done! A little mihawk moment slipping into my shuggy series the start of a trend for me, I feel..., Tend to the Flame, aka 'after the threesome they both take you home by sue hyon bae'

—

He took a sip of ale and swilled it, forcing himself to taste and be present. Shanks gave him an odd look, considering pressing the matter, but Buggy was happy to spare him; at least, of scrutiny. His fishhook of a grin was a blow Mihawk didn’t expect. 

It landed low in his gut, sank lower when Buggy leaned over to stage whisper against Shanks’ ear. His lips brushed the shell, leaving a smear of makeup as bright as blood spray. 

“I think he’s over smalltalk.” 

For all else that could be said of him, Shanks was hopelessly leashed. He leaned into Buggy’s mouth, not caring that someone might see. Buggy cooed and nipped at him, chasing the last of the concern off Shanks’ face, replacing it with something so tender it was almost vile.

“Is that it, Hawk?” Shanks asked, voice a bit gruff already. Mihawk wondered if that’s how he sounded when Buggy toyed with him. “I hadn’t considered…hm, but it’s been a while, hasn’t it? Since we all got together.”

“Yea,” Buggy said, untucking one of his legs to rub his and Mihawk’s shins together. “So why don’t you stop teasing and invite us back?”

Shanks laughed. “Don’t be rude, Bug. He hasn’t finished his drink yet.” 

“There’s beer on your ship, right? We'll pour him another.”

It should bother him, Mihawk thought, to be spoken of like a doll and dragged by the old, cloth arm from one place to the next. He should be more prideful, more firm, shouldn't let Buggy direct him, but truthfully, he didn't care about finishing his beer. He could lose himself in alcohol anywhere in the world, but there were very few places where he could succumb to them—both, not one or the other, the absent man's memory hanging about like a wraith in the corner.
