One Piece Shipping War - Round 2 Side D

Propaganda under the cut.

Propaganda for Shanks x Buggy:

What if we were childhood friends who gave up our drama for each other then never saw each other again for years

What can I say, I'm a fellow shuggy truther too 🤝

Shanks obviously adores Buggy, and Buggy is so tsundure~! Mr 'I hate Shanks'-but-will-take-every-opportunity-to-talk-about-him-and-be-with-him.

Oden says in his journal that he can't tell if they're friends of enemies, and I just love that. Plus when you add in the revelation about Shanks and Buggy in the recent chapters.

They're childhood friends. They're exes. They've been married for 20 years. They're opposites. They're the same. They're silly goofy guys who make me want to cry my heart out. Red/Blue is always meant to be.

Buggy """""HATES""""" Shanks. This hate is so strong that he WILL yell at this red-haired bastard despite the fact that he is a coward, who is terrified of all the Emperors. Everyone thinks this is strange. However, when you grow up with said Emperor on the same boat, watching him stumble over his feet as he's trying to learn to use a sword, stuck scrubbing the whole deck because he was stupid enough to prank "Dark King" Rayleigh, and make that same stupid pouty face every time his Conqueror's Haki doesn't do anything because he is an itty bitty child, most of that fear gets pretty quelled. Also, that same fucker lost an arm because he's a DUMBASS and he deserves to be made fun of for it (not because Buggy is worried and missed him not at all no no Shanks is just DUMB and needs to be TOLD he is dumb more. But just by Buggy. Because Buggy has known his idiocy forever. He has earned the right to yell at this stupid, stupid Emperor for being a self-sacrificing fool and for giving away that stupid hat and... Wait, hang on, when did this bastard get hot!? WHAT THE FUC-) And Shanks just keeps smiling at Buggy and his antics because he has 100% been in love with him since they were children (his actions while they were on the Roger pirates are the DEFINITION of pigtail-pulling as flirting) and he is just happy to see that he's safe while being exactly the same larger-than-life clown he always knew. He would gladly give up his life of sluttery (that I am convinced this man has. Just look at how he exists) if Buggy would just agree to join his crew, but will not push him if he doesn't want to. He just loves his pretty clown from a distance and waits. TLDR: Buggy is mad that he's in love with Shanks and Shanks just likes existing with and/or annoying Buggy (they come as a pair). GOD I just love childhood friends to lovers bro. Just let the cabin boys kiss.

[Spoiler Warning] Red and Blue gays! Emperor husbands! Childhood friends to enemies to lovers!

Propaganda for Shanks x Benn:

Daddies hot

A (somewhat) idiot captain, and a calm, cool and collected first mate! Oda literally stated that if Shanks was the sun, then Benn would be his moon. They balance each other out very nicely and I know that one will always take care of the other.

Classic captain/first mate ship. Beckman got all white hair at 50 for dealing with Shanks I know that. There's a part in film Red when Beckman calls Uta "our daughter" that activated my monkey brain.

Your honor they are married! The domestic fluff is all there. Benn loves his captain even though he is a handful and is always there to support him. Shanks has also followed in his parents footsteps and honoring the tradition of falling in love with your first mate. But I mean honestly can you blame him. Plus they raised a kid together!

SHANKSBENN!

Versus Giegue - EarthBound Beginnings

VERSUS

Dragon's Den - Pokémon Gold/Silver

FIGHT!

I would recommend listening to as much as you can of each song before voting, but how you choose is up to you! Remember to be civil in the tags and replies!

Propaganda under cut:

Versus Giegue:

"i'm going to get tittinus.... oh wait that's on purpose? still hurts"

Dragon's Den:

"Gen II has a lot of my favorite songs but this one. just is a bit too grating...the game boy could not handle it. I'll easily take the gen 4 remake cover over this one any day and I say that as someone who would play with GB sounds on."

Feel free to add more propaganda in the tags and replies, or send it to me in the ask box and I'll try to share it as soon as I can!

Round 1

If you are interested in stories with happy endings, you would be better off reading some other book. In this book, not only is there no happy ending, there is no happy beginning and very few happy things in the middle. This is because not very many happy things happened in the lives of the three Baudelaire youngsters.

-The Bad Beginning, Lemony Snicket

It was the day my grandmother exploded.

-The Crow Road, Iain Banks

You are, of course, an unmitigated asshole.

ROUND 1B, MATCH 2 OUT OF 8!

NOTE: As Warriors is a book series with limited art, only Spottedleaf's portrait is official art. Brindleface's picture is fan-made from the Warriors Wiki. Thank you for providing these arts, Warriors Wiki.

Cause of Death & Propaganda Under the Cut:

Spottedleaf

Cause of Death: Murdered during a clan invasion

Propaganda:

She smells nice. Everytime the writers being her up? What a sweet scent she has. She comes back as a ghost sometimes to smell nice and give cryptic messages.

She was an interesting character from what LITTLE we saw of her in the first book where, mind you, the main character's crush was very one-sided, but then she just kinda dies and wouldn't ya know it! The authors slowly but surely flanderize her and make the crush mutual before realizing they wrote themselves into a kitty-heaven-adultry corner and decide to double kill her in the last book just a coupleeee chapters before the main character himself dies and goes to kitty heaven so that they don't have to worry about the implications.

Brindleface

Cause of Death: Murdered; Body used as bait

Propaganda:

She is mainly a bg character but she does adopt a kit while nursing her own litter. She is one of the better examples of kits being cared for by cats they aren't blood related to in warriors.

Brindleface was the adopted mother-figure of the protagonist's nephew. She was killed to give a pack of dogs "a taste for cat blood," and her corpse was left just outside of the Thunderclan camp (narrative function: shock the cast). If there was a literal fridge there, she would have been in it.
