We're all mad here

A : I am sorry. You know that, don't you ?

R : All that matters now is us.

Didn't nod. Didn't say "I know". Forgive, always. But forget ?

All I'm saying is that if this is hinting at Robert's trust being shattered, I wouldn't be mad.

With each new Shuggy moments and flashbacks, George Michael’s voice in Careless Whisper sounds more and more like Shanks's...

Can’t wait for the “I know you’re not a fool” line from the song to become canon now

Cain struggles... because Aaron woke up and said that John killed Nate, but he doesn't know if he can trust him since the doctors are adamant that he is confused because of his head injury.

Caleb and Ruby are worried... because they possess the only piece of evidence that can reopen the case : the CCTV footage from outside the mill (Aaron's statement being inadmissible from a medical standpoint). However, they are torn because releasing it could compromise them with Anthony.

Chas is outraged... because she thinks her son reverted in doing everything in his power to clear Robert's name like he did all those years ago, even to the point of dragging his current husband's name through the mud by saying he's the one who poisoned her.

Inspired by this. Half the fun of reading the spoilers is trying to guess their meaning. Leave your predictions in the comments if you want!

Chapter 538 vs 1159

[bamboozting]

Everybody knows Buggy has first been introduced as a bomb maker in the story. Everybody knows he has a devil fruit that allows him to split his own body. Everybody knows an awakened devil fruit allows the user to spread their power beyond their own body and transform or alter the properties of the environment around them to match the nature of their devil fruit power.

Some of us thought, seriously or not, of the atomic bomb because all these facts combined could make a nuclear fission reaction possible in the One Piece universe.

But why do I never see mentioned that, the first time the principle of nuclear fission was weaponized, the chemical elements used were uranium and plutonium ?

Uranium. And Plutonium.

Sharing my comment under my favorite Buggy theory on YouTube, and outing myself as a “Buggy is a mastermind” believer in the process

Unfortunately for me, I do not find heart-eyed/moping pathetic Robert appealing or comedic. However, I do believe that his persistence in being a doormat, despite having been spat on multiple times since his return, could be seen as a way of emphasising his mental fragility.

What we saw of the dynamic ain’t soulmatism behavior for me, it’s idolatry (in Robert’s case). And not the cute kind considering it prevents him from clapping back when nasty shits are being said to his face. Mr Hawley's famous “he’s his reason to exist” comment in his interview did nothing to allay my doubts.

I’m most convinced Aaron was Robert’s lifeline in prison and that all those memories of the good old times he keeps reminiscing fondly (even now) are the only thing that kept him alive inside. However, I have a hunch that it made Aaron someone who can only “do good” in Robert’s mind. For 6 years, Aaron has alleviated all his pain, probably healed, and saved him multiple times without being here; so even if we were to see Aaron being cruel towards Robert nowadays, I don’t think Robert would be able to admit to himself that Aaron can do him wrong anymore. Hell, knowing him, he'd probably reconsider his own worth first.

I do not like watching Robert crawl to Aaron's feet; it was the last thing I wanted to witness, and I still don't. But given what happened, I have a feeling that we haven't seen the last of it.

A little banter, a little competition and a day that ends well. I feel refreshed. I loved the episode so much that I'll probably smile from ear to ear next time I see a red shovel toy x)

Next to the light-hearted plot, the intrigue surrounding Dylan is heartbreaking. I'm scared about what will happen to him.

Mackenzie haunted the narrative like a ghost. They’re stretching out the reveal so much that if he dies, I genuinely don't know what I'll do with myself.

When the show is already giving you what you want, maybe don’t throw shade at those who are frustrated and want to share it. When people complain, most of the time, it’s because they care about the stuff. They want to find out if anyone else shares their feelings about the stuff.

If you like the stuff, good for you. Speak proudly about how much you like the stuff. You don’t have to point finger and suffocate someone else’s opinion in the process.

There is something in the current dynamic between Robert and Joe I'm obsessed about right now. Since he came back, I feel like Robert has been very cautious in his interactions, either to hide his intentions or to protect himself. He tip toes so as not jostle the people around him too abruptly, and the only times he has ever been truly sincere with those close to him, he has gained nothing, and his heart has broken even more. But with Joe, he doesn’t mince his words. His tone is clearer. He shows when he is annoyed. He is smug. He is genuine. There are no filters between them and it's just— *chef's kiss*

I know my sense of humour is broken, but I did find the Richard joke funny back then. However, Robert's presence was so imposing before that Joe didn't stand out much alongside him in my eyes. Robert's more subdued behaviour now allows me to appreciate their interaction more fully. I know Joe won't play fair and I suspect his actions will be the catalyst that brings the prison storyline to the fore, but for now, I'm enjoying seeing them both on screen, especially when they're alone in a field (like this funny scene with the horse or the one with the fence).
