What’s your opinion on relationship between Roger and young shuggy

Making this quick because I think I've talked about this already an awful lot (and I love it. Please. Anything that has to do with young Shuggy makes me go feral every time).

A lot of people believe Roger played favorites when it came to his kids because. I mean. Look at the scenes we have. Giving Shanks his hat (in fact, both of his hats in that Wano scene) and in general not paying that much attention to Buggy unless it's to tell him to stay behind instead of going to Laugh Tale because he is sick (which is literally what any father would do and this only shows that he cares for him).

But I think he loved both a lot, just in different ways. And I believe that both ended up pretty messed up with how they were raised.

From what we've seen, the flashbacks we have are from Oden's POV and Buggy's. We never have Roger's or Shanks' or even Reyleigh's interpretations of what happened. So, from what we've seen, I think Roger put a lot of pressure on Shanks to be his legacy at a very young age and Buggy interpreted this with envy and thought Roger didn't care about him the same. Which is a valid thought, especially from what we've seen. But I personally like to think Roger went just a little bit harder on Buggy because of the typical "You have a lot of potential but you have to fight harder than the rest to achieve it and by ignoring you I am giving you an opportunity to be independent" or something like that. Because I think it makes more sense than Roger straight-up playing favorites.

Seriously, where is my scene of Buggy resenting Shanks and saying that he was Roger's favorite and Shanks being extremely fucking confused because "What do you mean his favorite?! He only talked about you, moron!".

So to summarize, I think we don't have that much content to have a specific canon interpretation, but in my opinion, I think Buggy's POV is really altered by his jealousy and envy toward Shanks and it only shows that Shanks was also under a lot of pressure. But that doesn't mean Roger didn't love them. Those were his kids!!!! That is their dad!!! I'm not fighting anybody about this. So he loved them but since he knew he was dying he trusted Shanks a little bit too much being the face of the new generation and gave Buggy a bit of a harsher treatment because he thought he had to work more than the average.

And that is how you end up with two sons: A failguy with a savior complex who is always sacrificing himself and drinking himself stupid and a clown with an inferiority complex that only knows how to survive instead of fighting for what he wants.

see i can understand the perspective that the narrative is slutshaming boston. i may not agree with it, but i can understand it. but saying the other couples that ended up together are “heteronormative” is fucking crazy actually like WHAT are you on about

Late rant about the last episode lmao but I have to get it off my chest

Originally I really thought they cut out the “hurry up and go” moment because I haven’t read these chapters in ages, and forgot that 87 cliffhangers with Aku being slashed before the actual line in 88 (but I mean... can you really blame me for considering that they might cut it...... the bar is on the ground lol).... but even knowing afterward that it’s technically accurate scene-wise, I’m still so disappointed with how they chose to frame it:

In the manga it’s a shocking moment, no doubt, but also very somber? I think I attribute that to Aku’s expression... he just looks so vulnerable. I would imagine this moment to be animated without any music, or if there had to be music, the ED. It also should have had a white background, imo. But instead, they made it very gruesome and gritty, and cliffhanger’d with Atsushi screaming his name and the heavy metal OP, so it felt like they were going for shock value and nothing else, with all the emotions stripped away. It felt like something straight out of an action movie or something..... and it’s just not the same tone at all to me. It has no weight to it, it just feels like any other injury the characters get in BSD, the only thing showing otherwise being that it’s at the end of the episode and the blood is much more detailed than usual.

The emotions were sucked out of most of the episode, like the scene where Aku reveals his illness, as well as Dazai’s present-day conversation with him; it was all thoroughly underwhelming and stiff, a lot of just talking and not showing, but this is nothing new lol it was to be expected 🫠 the entire fight scene has such a serious, sad, and poignant feeling in the manga, with Atsushi and Aku constantly being worried about each other and their injuries and situation increasingly becoming bleaker and more dire, but in the anime it just feels nothing but ominous and badass, and not nearly as dynamic or impactful.

This part was genuinely amazing though, the best part of the episode by far 🤌 I actually love the choice to have Dazai just be wearing nothing but his white dress shirt under the coat, instead of his suit; it makes him appear so much smaller like he really is, closer to Aku’s size, which makes the image hit even harder than it does in the manga panel. Also I’ll give them credit for how Fukuchi’s rewind was portrayed using the clock tower Order of the Clock Tower reference? 55 Minutes reference meant to make 55 Minutes readers go insane? YOU DECIDE; was actually pretty cool and clever, so kudos for that too

If you could change one thing about rp on tumblr, what would it be? Why? // @queencvbra

The constant holier than thou 'the entire community should cater to me personally' schtick. It's been around forever, it's why this site got such a reputation for superfluous application of cancel culture, but I've noticed it seems to have risen from the dead lately.

People who think others should only write content that appeals to to their own lifestyle, people who think going into a collaborative hobby without regard for the limits or problems of their followers makes them a superior being, people who don't understand why some people might not be comfortable with all facets of a canon or even fanon, couching misogyny and biphobia in alleged support of other communities...

These are just examples I have seen more than once. Members of my community taking it for a personal attack if people write romantic/sexual dynamics or discuss their own personal lives on the dash. Those who believe that because they do not tag triggers or in any way 'cater' to the audience they expect to interact with they're somehow the ones victimized when people curate their experiences away from them. I've caught so much Hell just for saying I don't care for a major franchise and find the writing of canon stale at best and genuinely insulting at worst, and I am not the only one. People who believe all M/F is het and thus inferior, because like, why would an amazing awesome man ever want to stick his dick an inferior pussy?

I think too many people on this site have a stick up their ass about things that, and I say this with all due respect, do not matter outside of their own comfort. Unless the content is being written to actively harm, unless it is problematic content that out and out reflects the hateful or harmful beliefs of its author, unless people are genuinely at risk because the content exists, then block and move on. You should always block and move on if the content is anything less than that, and by the same card, stop acting so surprised if other people block and move on if you act like a self-righteous dickhead for forgetting this is a collaborative hobby that takes partners and their myriad views/experiences/comfort into account.

afo looks like a kissable pathetic meow meow in the new chapter

For once that's not actually the worst possible reaction to a new chapter, only the second worst, because I'm going to kill someone about this flagrant and rudely lampshaded disregard for established quirk science

You what I wanna know?

How the f*** does this bunny-looking thing become an official tumblr sexyman...?

But not THIS?

[vaaarnarebog]

challenge:

tell me the trait that makes animals unworthy of respect and happy lives, why is it okay to hurt and kill them?

animals don't speak? some people don't either

they aren't as smart as humans? babies eint that smart either

they are alive to be eaten? would it be ok to breed people for food?

it goes on and on, any trait you can think of doesn't stand up when you put it on a human or even an animal you love because you cant morally justify hurting and killing a being that wants to live and be happy.

please just think (even do some research about what their lives and deaths are like) and do something about it.
