Let's fight your anon Buggy haters 😡 Some people are stuck on the "such a powerful man couldn't possibly be interested in this ugly failure of a clown" discourse, and I can't stop thinking that people would have the same reaction in OP universe if shuggy became a public couple (bear with me and let's ignore the implications of a public romance between 2 major political figures for now). Bar Buggy’s fans/cult members, I imagine some people would be very disdainful... And honestly my boy is a mess of insecurities hidden behind bravado. The potential for angst is 👌, especially if Shanks responds with a "haters gonna hate" attitude. But we could also mix in comedy depending on Buggy’s reactions 👀 Not a real ask I guess, I just wanted to spread some Buggy love!
BUGGY LOVE YIPPIE 💙💙💙💙💙💙❤️(one heart for Shanks because he's been going through a lot and he deserves it)
This discourse is SO funny to me. If you were an actual Shanks fan, you would say, "I think Buggy is an ugly failure of a clown, but Shanks loves him, so whatever my baby says" AND THAT'S IT. Like it's such an insane concept to me, liking Shanks and disliking Buggy at the same time... Are you aware that's his husband right there... Whatever makes the captain happy!!!!!!!!!
Also, just not true, Buggy is hot as fuck. People need to start opening their eyes. Shanks did. You could be next.
The concept of Shuggy being canon in-universe is such a funny thing. We make fun of Buggy, but a lot of pirates ARE scared of him. And Shanks, of course. So, in my opinion, the first general thought wouldn't be about their looks but "we're sooooo fucked if these two team up".
But THEN you let their loved ones (Shanks' loved ones mostly) discuss the whole thing, and they'd be like:
"Why... Why him?" Shanks: He makes me laugh
Buggy would be so bothered by the general opinion from Shanks' friends (... Luffy-) that he'd need all the princess treatment in the world for months, and Shanks would be SO happy to give it to him. And a good talk with his fans because I'm sure THEY are the ones saying Buggy deserves better. That would make him feel better tbh.
Either way, they've been so married for years and so used to this dynamic and opinions that I think they'd just go on with their lives. The concept of everyone making a whole deal out of it except them. Pffft.
