I think the worst part of this lingering cough is how fucking poorly it mixes with my chronic nosebleeds smh shit has me in these awful feedback loops where all the coughing triggers a nosebleed and then the lack of breathing from the nosebleed makes the coughing worse which makes the nosebleed worse and so on and so on

I can guarantee that at least one person wrote in Jay and Dope on their ballot this election.

I saw this series of quotes and why do you think that hat has three stabs from buggy? Is it truly connected to shuggy? Could shuggy really be that important???

so, here are the tweets in question. (one of which is from @goingbuggy! hi there! this is, what, the third time someone’s asked me to talk about your tweets? i guess at least one of my anons is a fan.)

i have wondered a time or two whether in oda’s early planning it might have been buggy who gave shanks that three-slash scar. (i’ve heard that oda originally had a five year plan for one piece, though i’ll admit i’ve never sought out a direct source for that.) in that case, the slashes through the hat might have been intended as foreshadowing.

but since buggy wasn’t the one to make that scar, instead it leads us to draw comparisons between these characters who both have wielded three blades on one hand. and maybe it’s just because they were both written as foils to luffy, but i find comparing buggy and blackbeard very interesting!

similarities:

former warlord of the sea/current emperor of the sea

devil fruit user

served on a big name’s crew back in the day

intentionally went under the radar/overlooked for years

doesn’t really buy into concepts like “loyalty” or “honor,” happy to turn on a crew mate or backstab an ally if it’s to his advantage

used to wield three blades but these days prefers explosive-adjacent weapons

not happy to see red-haired shanks at marineford

differences:

fell into those positions by chance/years of plotting to get into those positions

a devil fruit with zero combat utility (besides avoiding damage)/possibly the devil fruit with the most combat utility? (though, unusually, he can take damage while wielding it)

their reasons for going under the radar (fear of being hunted down/working towards a secret goal)

the consequences for overlooking them (for shanks: losing buggy/losing to bb, or at least taking a very bad wound from him; for others: misinformation on a global scale/the literal paramount war)

buggy is a strong believer in the captain-crew bond, which bb absolutely does not buy into

type of three-bladed weapon (three throwing daggers, suggests flexibility, hidden motives, a preference for distance fighting; claw weapon, suggests light-footedness, straightforwardness—you know when a claw wielder is about to start fighting, he’s gone and put the claws on)

type of explosive weapon (bombs, suggests pre-planning, a preference for distance fighting, maximum damage for minimum effort; guns, suggests a flexibility on distance vs melee range, a willingness to threaten rather than kill outright)

why they didn’t want to see shanks (ugh, that guy pisses me off/i think that guy might literally kill me lmao)

trying to keep an open mind bc the concept of this movie is very interesting but the characters are so annoying it’s pissing me off

[forgivelesssims]

i’ll be soooo honest…

i 1000% need to see/hear more abt the lovestruck expansion pack. bc from what i’m seeing now? eh. it’s lovely for vanilla or console players, and i’m excited for the new world! but the limited gameplay info i’m seeing? i’m unmoved.

as of rn, it’s looking like i’d only end up buying this pack for the world and the romance dynamics 🫠 i prefer the way modders have gone about implementing online dating, attraction systems, etc.; and i’m worried EA has just implemented a watered down, less substantial, and far less developed version of those key mod features and put it behind a $40 paywall.

pou is engaged to Laura Stacey. So no, they presumably wouldn't, and you're right it IS homophobic

Fantastic (genuine). You’re the third person to tell me about Laura Stacey and let me tell you, it continues to be excellent news that Marie Philip Poulin the woman I know from being described as the female Sidney Crosby aka captain canada is in lesbians with one of her linemates. Mens hockey wishes. Woho continues to be the gift that keeps on giving.

Also yes it is homophobic that they can’t give each other little kisses any time they get close. Can you imagine the cellys? Cmon how are we gonna get the woho equivalent of the kiss me fanvid if their lips are behind lock and key. All players deserve to make out at center ice if they so choose and the fact that they can’t is homophobic.
