You are truly fascinating person. You look at OP so differently than most Reddit or Tumblr fans I encountered. There were two types of usual consensus I noticed about 1082.
1. Shanks is 100% correct and Buggy was just being idiotic with his idea. It’s good he left.
2. Poor Buggy, I hope they will be besties again. I’m sure Shanks would understand him and be so sad about what happened.
You are so fresh in your takes. I love it.
thank you, that’s so kind of you to say!
i try to be thoughtful about what we know about these characters—their thoughts and feelings, the things we as readers know they know, the things we know they don’t know, and the great big void of unknown unknowns (things they might know that we don’t know about, things we don’t know that they also don’t know, etc.). i hope it helps me to look at conflicts between characters with less bias.
(…though it would help if we got even half as much insight into shanks’ thoughts as buggy’s. i sometimes think we’ve seen more of buggy’s thoughts than shanks’ spoken words.)
