my one piece self insert oc is the ultimate in escapist 'mary sue' fantasy and i'm sorry but i love that and i'm so proud of me for letting myself have that. what if i ran away and joined the circus but i still had job security and everyone thought i was so hot they came to see me perform every night. also i'm tough. also i can shapeshift. also i'm fucking an emperor. also i sing fleetwood mac and everyone claps.

#silver jelly #clownfucker era #they're a lot like adrian in that there isn't a Big Bad haunting the story (like g with joseph's messy divorce; kieran with the cult;#or ezra with the uhhh [gestures wildly around crockett])#but the source material is also just so fucking ridiculous that i can do whatever i want and get away with it. whereas with adrian there #are some limits on like what qualifies as realistic; even within the coma dream aus where the rules of reality have a little more give.#it's also like;; so much of archer is these characters' relationships ('it was always a love story') but buggy doesn't really have that #so anything kinda goes? and sometimes it's good to have roadmaps to lean against; i find a lot of joy in figuring out where a #character belongs and who thinks what about them and how that makes them mesh (or not) with their social surroundings #but it's also really nice to be like. okay. this is the only guy they care about impressing and he doesn't really have any friends.#anyway i lov all my self inserts and ocs mwahhh :' )
