You do get the sense that the fallout of Roger's death and the Roger pirates disbanding not so much traumatized Buggy and Shanks indifferent ways but instead generated such drastically different reactions to the trauma.
While the trauma of everything seemed to push Shanks into the future, always constantly waiting for something, putting plans on hold and then later in place, for this great moment, this great coming that he sees on the Horizon. For Buggy it rooted him firmly in the past keeping him trapped in this grief masquerading as anger.
While Roger's death forced Shanks to grow up fast, it kind of arrested Buggy's development keeping him stuck in those same feelings, rooted int that same place.
You get the sense that Buggy's whole east blue schtick is just one long overdue rebellious phase one big fuck you to Roger and his ideals. He's rebelling against Roger's principles. One of their rules was don't steal from innocent people and Buggy was keeping a whole town in poverty. If Roger and Luffy's pirating styles are diametrically opposed to someone like Blackbeard, who might be the most literal pirate in the entire series, then buggy is the parody of that Blackbeard piratism. He is playing up cruelty, being the most piratey pirate possible, hell he's literally a clown on a stage. It's all a show! It's his own special way of trying to "get back at Roger" of trying to discard everything Roger taught him for this overacted, over exaggerated clownish cruelty. Mentally he never left that execution square. He is still 15, alone and scared.
Hell he literally never left either, while I'm pretty sure Shanks' booked it out of the east blue as fast as he could, Buggy never lef, might have never left, if not for Luffy. It's part of why Luffy bothers him so much, he's just like Roger everything that Buggy is trying hard to forget and here comes this kid, whose never even met the Captain but is wearing his hat, shoving it right back in his face.
It makes sense that he never leaves the east blue till Luffy literally forces him out of it (fucking with Luffy gets him captured and imprisoned) and it makes sense that it's Luffy that literally breaks him out of prison, literally sets him free, and on the path to greatness that maybe he was always meant to achieve (even if he trips his way into it). This boy that is tragically so much like his old captain but so beautifully unabashedly himself, is what Buggy needs to start letting go off the past, to start trying to move forward.
Maybe that's why Buggy, at what could arguably be described as his lowest moment, gets the strength to free himself from his own self imprisonment, realizing that even back then he was locking himself away and pinning his own dreams on Shanks. And, maybe for the first time ever, Buggy really own his dream. He declares to his tormentors and his crew and the entire world that; actually He wants to find the one piece, him, as captain of his own crew, this crew, not just a part of someone else's. That's his dream and he's willing to turn the world upside down to do it.
#Buggy for Pirate king 2024#I can't lie I believe that he might actually do it. It might be just for the bit and just for a few seconds but he'll do it!#No where else for him to trip up too#I think it's great that yeah Luffy liberates kingdoms in all these big ways#but from the beginning of the story in all these little ways he's been setting people free and in his own little way he set Buggy free too#my favorite thing recently has been dissecting all the ways in which how the roger pirating handling of everything ruined these boys lives#honestly not just them judging from what we've seen it's the whole crew cause Rayleigh's defiantly not doing okay#Buggy has such middle child syndrome despite being the exact same age as Shanks and not having a younger sibling#like of course he was going to feel like he had to fall under Shanks Shanks probably felt chosen by god it's hard not to feel second to tha#This feels more like a collection of thoughts than the cohesive essay I was going for#but I guess that's what happens when you literally only have a collection of thoughs#It took me a while but I actually fuck with the star clown#buggy the star clown#buggy pirates#buggy the clown#buggy one piece#one piece analysis#character analysis#shanks#red haired shanks#cross guild#roger pirates#gol d. roger#monkey d. luffy#buggy#shanks and buggy#one piece#one piece thoughts#one piece meta#op

tbh i dont think the finale was as complicated as everyone makes it out to be. sutekh is a viewer, just like us. hes obsessed with the "mystery". ruby's mum isn't the reason it snows, or the reason that christmas eve 2004 is "raw and open" and keeps changing. its sutekhs obsession. he gave that night its importance by building it up and obsessing over the answer to the one question he couldnt find, in the same way that we did. we gave rubys abandonment its huge significance with all our theories and our desperate need to understand. in a way, we are sutekh. voyeurs of a deeply personal moment that we never had any right to. building ruby into a mystery when shes really just a person. shes special because we believe she is. time is memory.
#god the use of tv as a medium in this season was unparalleled#to US theyre tv show characters but to THEM theyre living people#of course the reveal was anticlimactic#ruby sunday isnt a legendary tale. shes not a chosen one#shes just ruby#she worked so hard for her happy ending and she deserves it#ruby and her mum are paralleled by the kind woman and her baby#not 'special' or alien or chosen by fate#just kind#what saves a broken world?#random acts of kindness.#doctor who#doctor who spoilers#ruby sunday#empire of death

To be frank, I find the introvert/extrovert discourse online insane and completely ridiculous. People will fight to the death about if a character, Elizabeth Bennet, is an introvert or an extrovert, and people: they are opposites. If I/E aren't easy to tell apart for a main character of a novel, the categories are meaningless. But then oddly, considering that no one can tell I/E apart, extroverts are also some weird totally different species from introverts.
But Elizabeth Bennet is an extrovert and checks every single extrovert box and the reasons real internet people keep giving that she isn't are bonkers:
She takes solitary walks. I have some crazy news for you, extroverts can walk. I, a certified extrovert, take solitary walks nearly every day because I have a dog, whom I adopted knowing I would take her on these walks. It's shocking I know; I don't even die of loneliness at all! Consider for a moment that Elizabeth Bennet spends all day surrounded by four sisters and a very talkative mom, not surprising she takes walks alone occasionally. You'll also notice that she does invite her sisters along most of the time.
She reads. More shocking news: extroverts can read. Some of them read a lot. You know enjoying being around other people doesn't exclude reading. In fact, in the Regency you could even read aloud as a group activity! That is something we see in the novel. And Elizabeth also puts down her book when she finds a conversation more interesting.
She processes issues internally. That is not her preference, she likes to talk it out with Jane. When she's leaving Hunsford, Elizabeth is desperate to finally talk with Jane about all the crazy stuff that has happened to her, but she is forced to conceal a good deal of it because it's about Jane. She can't discuss Darcy with the Gardiners because his proposal is a secret, but she is eager to talk about the Lydia thing and learn her uncle's opinion. Also, extroverts are fully capable of processing internally, because again, not a different species.
She has trouble talking/feels awkward after the second proposal. Who wouldn't be awkward? Do people honestly think extroverts never feel awkward??? Not even when they love a guy that they verbally destroyed a few months ago? Not even during a confession of love? We uh... do. We get awkward too. In fact, sometimes when an extrovert talks rapidly, they are trying to talk their way out of an awkward situation. I have to work myself up to making phone calls.
Anyway, it drives me totally up the wall. Elizabeth Bennet is an extrovert, she thrives around people. Both end couples, Jane & Charles and Elizabeth & Darcy, are introvert/extrovert pairings, which is fun. If you want an introverted heroine, Jane Austen wrote five of them and they are all excellent: Elinor Dashwood, Marianne Dashwood, Fanny Price, Jane Bennet, and Anne Elliot. Catherine Morland, Emma Woodhouse, and Lady Susan round out the extroverts. It's awesome that Austen had such range in heroines.
#rant#extrovert vs. introvert#pride & prejudice#elizabeth bennet#jane austen#I won't even get into the fact that extroverts are aliens and introverts are God's most special little beans#because I'm not going to be whiny#but honestly I/E isn't a value judgment#we need all kinds#and most people are friends with both types#I may have woken up and chosen violence

this exchange goes crazy...dana "i worship the sea he sailed on" "i did it because i knew if he found out he would kill me" "part of me likes it, needs it, wants the approval" " along the way there are other fathers" "i thought you'd be pleased" "he was my instructor at the academy" "he must have been a wonderful teacher...yes, he's remarkable man" "your fear of failing him?" scully would know a thing or two about THAT...
#trying to gather my Thoughts on the different ways mulder and scully approach authority...#scully essentially lays out her entire deal in never again between craving the approval and attention of an authority figure#only to eventually chafe under the weight of their expectation; the constraints of cooperation and submission#she likes being 'chosen' so to speak - by jack; by daniel - it means she's special. she glows under their approval; it means something to#have their favor#it validates her - she is smart she is capable she is exceptional#(something something sainthood something something being chosen by god for great works something something if you genuflect and pray and do#all the rituals just right something something catholicism)#mulder on the other hand i have a harder time getting into his head re: authority#people like phoebe and diana hold a level of control over him but this isn't an exact superior/subordinate relationship#does he ever really express a real desire to please skinner? he seems to have always been disdainful of patterson#i will have to think on it more.......#the x files

i love the continuous implication that volo clearly believes that he is supposed to be the Chosen One, and is so annoyed by how impressed he is by the person who has been given the role, who is only here in the first place bc of his (volo’s) actions. really played yourself there man
#because yes i think he is absolutely impressed by the player and actually projects onto them quite a bit#like he calls them an outsider and that’s absolutely how he sees himself#it’s FASCINATING#this weird mix of superiority and inferiority complex#too special to fit in with normal people (and have been rejected in the past due to specialness)#but too flawed and human to fill the role of god’s chosen hero#UGHH i love the parallels!!#pla#pokemon legends arceus#volo

The real message of Lucy vs Buddy is that worshipping a divinity is about following the values that the god puts forth, not about preaching or praying or evangelizing.
When Buddy was offered to die a Helio worshipper or live with a different god, he chose to abandon the faith he claimed such devotion to. When Lucy was offered the same thing, she looked to her values as they related to her religion and decided that she would not add to the coldness of the world. Lucy, even in death, remains a light in the dark, the warm memory in the coldness of the ratgrinders. That’s true devotion. That’s the point of religion.
#thinking about. when I went to the leadership conference in January#and we each were given a list of like 100 values. and we each had to choose 5 to claim as Our Values#and at the end I looked around the room to find that 90% of other people had picked self serving values#family. friends. inner peace. self esteem. faith. etc#and I had things that helped the world. empathy. justice. knowledge. etc#and like… there is nothing wrong with valuing family or self esteem. those things when positive can make life worth living. I get it#but would those people who chose to value inner peace and family have chosen the god of rage?#if u value inner peace over world peace what decisions will you make that fuck over the world to save urself?#this is certainly too deep for a d20 post ignore me#cienna talks#fhjy#fantasy high

ooh recently you rb'd some titan!luz art and it made me think about luz getting creechur-ified. princess luz au where she becomes a (literal, not belos-style) monster? let her be weird and have fangs.
there's gotta be a titan!luz version of the princess timeline out there somewhere, right?? maybe one where belos more violently attacks luz while they're fighting over hunter & so she ends up unconscious/dead-ish in the inbetween.
and then the titan is like. hiiii baby. hi luz. bebita. my specialest princess. heyyyy. do you want to go crazy murder your dad with me :)
luz ascending as empress while suddenly filled with fuckoff powerful magic and purpose because she's like "hahAHA. actually i CAN talk to the titan. FUCK the empire. LET'S GOOOOOOOO"
Deeply Joyful. let her have fangs and go apeshit. Yes .
#perhaps even a timeline where she can be more honest about what belos was#because it's a lot easier to unravel his lies when you actually are titan-chosen.#hard for people to say you're using propaganda when you!! are!! god!!!!#luz manic episode arc incoming. fantastic#replies#toh#princess luz au#princess luz au titan timeline#<-for in case more posting about this occurs.#luv to have like. 20 different timeline tags.#luz noceda

DISTRACTIONS sometimes its the drive to help and save our friends that pushes us to learn and to succeed. unfortunately its normally ''unethical'' to replicate that in a classroom setting. I ONLY JUST FINISHED THE LAST PAGE HERE, THE FIRST TWO WERE LITERALLY FROM LAST YEAR, N A FEW MONTHS APART. LOOOOK AT MY EVOLUTION. im very proud of this and bled REALLY HARD FOR THE LAST PAGE. PLEASE ABSORB THIS.
#gillion tidestrider#jrwi fanart#jrwi show#jrwi riptide#the last page honestly just took super long bc i dropped it for a long while. only recently wiped the dust off o it.#IM RLY PROUD OF ALOT O THINGS ABT THAT LAST PAGE#LIKE THE PERSPECTIVE N THE WIDE SHOTS OR WHATEVER#IT WASNT EASY BUT I MADE IT LOOK GOOD!! IM SO HAPPY WITH IT#I ALSO just really love drawing gillion as soooo small#just a little guy with the weight of the world bolted to his tiny tiny shoulders#n yknow what while im here ill talk abt the first two comics aswell. i like taking inspo from JTHM for this kinda stuff#more specifically SQUEE n the way his dad was just sooo honest and cruel to him. 'yeah its your fault my life sucks' n all that. i imagine#that gillion prolly dealt with alot o that too. i know weve already seen the elders#but i did initially imagine them to be very much like the Tallests from invader zim. they just hate this little guy. hes so small n lame#hes prolly had teachers like that im sure. i like thinkin about gills experience in school!!#i fell in love with him the moment he said that he wasnt good at being a student like girl ME TOOOO WAAAAAA#HE SUCKS In school and everyone is just sooo tired of him but they gotta put up with him bc hes the Chosen One#but GOD they wish they had someone more competent i bet. it was prolly a relief when they banished him#could u imagine being that? someone so insufferable that people sigh in relief when youre gone. poor poor gillion#ANYWAY THATS ALL MY THOUGHTS#TALK ABT UR THOUGHTS IN THE TAGS TOO DIPSHIIITT CMAAAHHNN

Since October 7th I have been thinking a lot about that quote from Jojo Rabbit “Break free, great Aryan. There are no weak Jews. I am descended from those who wrestle angels and kill giants. We were chosen by God” and how real and relevant it is today.
My family survived the pogroms, being expelled from Portugal, the Roman Empire kidnapping and enslaving them, the conquests from Europe and the conquest coming from Arabia. We have survived them all and we will survive you too.
Just as we look back on the Egyptians, the Soviets, the Nazis, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Ottomans, the Crusaders, and every single other empire that has tried and failed to wipe us out, the day will come when we look back at you, and that is all you will be. The past. A line in *our* history.
