Okay, just read about Atlas and how it'd be healing for Buggy....
Bruh I can't stop hearing this dialog for them.
It probably makes more sense of Atlas to be basically like a angry kitten, lashing out for his own safety... but I definitely can see Atlas having a moment of pause and see someone with the same nose as him.
Like the second he saw Buggy, all the air in lungs disappeared. In a good way.
Buggy, knowing what a kid version of himself would probably be think of. Knelt down and let the kid reach out for his nose.
"Looks like I'm not alone, huh?" Buggy said gently but got choked up in the end.
Atlas eyes started to well up, but he moved his head away. He didn't want to look weak because, for once, he didn't feel like the odd ball out.
He wasn't alone.
"You're probably hungry. Come on, " Buggy gently picked up his hand as Birdie and Angle flanked their sides, walking alongside. "It's almost lunchtime. "
(I undress it doesn't fit the mold, but dammit I love this)
Awwwwww my heeeaaaarrrrttttttt I love this
Honestly I can kinda see smth like this happening maybe. Like. Atlas on a mini war path or trying to sneak along to get to his target(s). Birdie and Angel may well find him and make a ruckus bc 1) HEY IT'S BOMB OMG HIIII and 2) WHY ARE YOU HERE BUT ALSO HIIIII
Maybe the noisr draws The Parents, and when Buggy bursts in like "what's going on-!" he just... freezes.
And Atlas just goes flipping rigid, wide eyed. There's a tense silence for just a moment, then Buggy kneels down and the rest is history.
((And maybe Birdie and Angel are So Excited to tell their friend/tiny-fellow all about the family. And maybe Atlas, putting on a brave face, looks across the room at Buggy smiling and flushed with Mihawk as they cook. Maybe Birdie asks what he thinks.
And maybe Stlas shakily signs looks like me... but pretty.
And Angel looks at the littlest Seraphim for a moment, then turns and goes "mama, papa, daddy? Can we keep him??"
And they all smile. "If he wants to, he's welcome to stay," Buggy offers with a smile that looks... odd. It's warm and soft and fragile and somehow really hard and cold at the same time, turning to let his hands sign along with his words. "He deserves the opportunity and chance to make his own choices, okay? We don't force people to do things here."
"Yes, mama!"
Atlas for his part is uncertain, is emotional for reasons he doesn't even understand, and- he wants.
He wants so badly.
And Buggy, understanding and grown and empathetic, is damn sure going to deliver

Is it bad to want to see more of Ghost Roger shenanigans? Because now that the man knows he can talk to the living world... The conversations, Perona is getting so many stories about Buggy and Shanks as children. Poor Buggy
OUGH yes absolutely give me an excuse to write about this bc it's so silly and it's arguably one of my most favorite things ever aaaaaa
Roger is just SO excited, and while he does have HUGE Girl Dad energy, he's hitting all the Dad Points. He's a Capital D Dad. The D in Gol D Roger stands for DAD and I cannot articulate this enough. It's hilarious. He's an idiot. He made so many mistakes but he always always ALWAYS did his best to do right by his kids and he loved them with every cell in his body. He was the type of parent who would have a wallet solely for the opportunity to flip it open dramatically and unroll a mile long strip of baby photos.
Even being dead won't stop him from gushing about his sons and embarrassing them.
Perona ultimately becomes his main focus because Fresh Meat, and she's just gobbling this up. They're mutually trying desperately to figure out how to get ghost pictures into the physical world. She has all the tea.
Up to and including walking up to Buggy one day during a cross guild meeting, no regard whatsoever for the "uncute and stuffy vibe" to instead redirect focus onto the Important Stuff.
"Hey Buggy, did you really once dress in drag ad a child to get free food at Fishman island"
Crocodile chokes on his cigar. Mihawk damn near does a spit take. Buggy just sighs.
"Yeah."
"Are there pictures"
"Somewhere probably"
"Can I h-"
"No"
"Booo you're mean! Grandpa Roger said I could"
Buggy then manages to somehow snort and gasp, coughing harshly as his whiskey drips from his nose. "GRANDPA WHO?!?!?!"
Meanwhile Roger is floating in the upper corner in full gremlin pose as he cackle like the menace he is. ((And no he does not flinch when Buggy side eyes him aggressively while cleaning his face.... he just..... decided suddenly and with no particular reason to avoid his clown child's room for the next three to five business weeks. Pranks can be played elsewhere. No, he isn't scared of his most unhinged child.... of course not............ ((the old scar from a tiny mouth clamping on his ankle aches a little, but he's very good at ignoring things))))
All of this is, ofc, not even touching on the hijinks the kids got up to together. Perona has SO much blackmail!!!

Amity Parkers moving to Gotham for college. Sam and Paulina pooling their trust funds together to buy an abandoned hotel and fitting it as apartments for everybody. They all train together in the courtyard to keep their skills up and just because it's fun. Suddenly an influx of super competent self-trained (or maybe ghost-trained) young adults.
Everybody having their little niches and suddenly they all have more free time that's not being taken up by ghost attacks so many of them started different YouTube channels with info they found out from the ghostly residents of Amity. Star and Paulina running a history of beauty channel going over makeup, hair styles and fashion, special guest Sam when going over alt fashions. Dash and Kwan running one on the history of sports. Wes and Mikey running a conspiracy theory podcast. Valerie running a martial arts channel. Danny just info-dumping about space and spacecraft in videos that range from 45 minutes to four hours. Tucker running a how-to channel for fixing tech and coding. Sam running a combination true crime and witchy channel. The Trio running a Let's Play channel.
Ghostly things happening in all of the videos and everybody guesting on everybody else's channels leads to everybody thinking it's all an elaborate ARG. Danny just floating through the walls half-asleep with a glowing shaker bottle in the background. Some of them when they're in the middle of a rant seem to forget to take a breath or their eyes or freckles start glowing. On a livestream Paulina snaps at somebody off screen and her eyes are suddenly glowing green. Danielle pops in during a charity livestream that the Trio are running and calls Danny-Daddy, Sam-Mom, and Tucker-Dad and is just floating on the back of the couch. Danny doing a stream to watch a rocket take off and suddenly a robe and crown flash and he disappears in a flash of green and the stream is just dead space until the rocket's about to take off and Danny comes running in and jumps over the back of his chair to watch it and cheer.
