ROSIE MY LOVELY
I think I have already mentioned this to you in dms, but I'll say it here so everyone can see - I absolutely adore your talent for aesthetics. You create really good ones and it always comes across like you put a lot of thought into position and colour, etc. This is one pure example of how good they are and I LOVE IT - also Frank Woods as Michael Myers? Is that an au idea I need to play with. Perhaps. One day <0<
Thank you for this little gift, it was a pleasure to wake up and see in my inbox <3 I hope you have a wonderfully spooky Halloween my dear ;u;
"Cipher, I got a gift for you and Ron. These invitation to a fun place," Zelia held two letters to Cipher. "Its for a palace visit with a certain theme. I was gonna ask Aglaea, but I heard this wasn't gonna be the thing for her,"
"O really? Well thank you!" She smiled and pondered for a moment. "Yea the demigod of Romance doesn't really get out much now a days. Sorry about that!"
(For Aglaea) "Ok, so some weird thing stole my wallet, and the special treasures I had, and I can't find my friend. Hmm what's going on now," Zelia had jumped on a roof to see if she could find her friend or the thief
Aglaea noticed the girls panic from afar and walked closer. "Miss. What is the mater? I will help you to solve it."
Meanwhile Cipher was following the trail that Bartholos left while looking for Ron's friend. She who ever got a shiver up her spine seeing the seamstress nearby.
I feel like if the Roger pirates ever celebrated birthdays they would forget buggy's at least once.
Hey Anon? Why???
This was the first thing I read upon waking up, and I did not need a broken heart this early in the morning.
Damn!
Okay, but in all honesty, thank you so much for this. I always get so excited when people chose to share their thoughts with me 💙
Even if they break my heart! (Also, to be fair, I am a sucker for sad headcanons like this, so you don't have to hesitate when you want to share more of them!)
But now back to the subject of your message.
Firstly, yes!, I do believe that something like this could have happened. And it probably was under very unlucky circumstances. Buggy strikes me as the person who (at least as a child) would excitedly remind everyone that his birthday is coming up. But maybe that year something kept him from doing so. Maybe that year, the Roger Pirates found themselves in one bad situation after the other during the days leading up to the 8th of August. They got into multiple storms, were attacked by other pirates, hunted by marines etc. So truly there wasn't any time for Buggy to remind everyone (not that it should be a child's responsibility to remind their caretakers that it's their birthday) and with everything happening it slipped peoples minds.
Now the question, how can we make this even worse? The answer, let's include Shanks.
So, the day of his birthday, Buggy wakes up and even he himself needs a few moments to recognize what day it is. But when he does, he gets super excited because he loves birthdays. Shanks doesn't say anything, which is weird, because Shanks is always almost as excited about Buggy's birthday as about his own.
But then Rayleigh doesn't say anything about it, and neither does Roger or anyone else on the crew. Buggy doesn't want to believe that they have forgotten, so he keeps asking subtle questions to random crew members about the significance of the day. And some of them are acting super weird and dodgy. So Buggy figures, all right, they are throwing him a surprise party. Which almost makes up for the crappy start to the day he had.
When night falls, Buggy ends up being right. There is a surprise party. Except, it's not for him. Turns out, during the fight the day before, Shanks finally managed to control his Haki and Roger has decided that that was an occasion that needed to be celebrated.
Buggy can't believe it and runs from the room, because he doesn't want to have a breakdown in front of all of them. The rest of the crew thinks that Buggy is jealous, because Shanks get recognition for his fighting, so for most of the night they let him hide wherever he ran off to.
Buggy spends the last few hours of his birthday curled up in the farthest corner of the storage room, behind some crates, sobbing his tiny heart out. Until, a few minutes to midnight, Rayleigh finally shows up. He asks if Buggy is truly this jealous, that he doesn't even want to spend a few moments up with the celebrating crew.
And at first Buggy doesn't want to tell him, because he hates being seen as a little kid (even though he is) and surely nobody else would through a fit just because the crew forgot which day it was. But finally he breaks, and he just mutters that it's the 8th of August, and it still takes a few second for Rayleigh to understand what he means by that. But when he does, he feels incredibly bad. Because he just knows that this wouldn't have happened if it was Shanks in Buggy's place. Of course, he apologizes and he and the rest of the crew try to make up for it the next day, but you know … what's done is done.
Ah yes! Pain in the morning. Don't we just love it??
As a generally-not-very-smart-and-very-sleepy college student, do you think you could post the answer to the cipher this week at some point? I wanna let people figure it out for themselves but I honest to God can't 😭😭😭
(As an also very sleepy being, I understand that! Some folks have solved it and put it in the replies of the post, but since you asked, I can post them here for you! (Under cut in case anyone still wants to work it out!)
The cipher is 5 to the right
Htsywfhy = Contract
Bfssf rfpj f IJFQ? = Wanna make a DEAL?
Xnls Mjwj = Sign Here
Mjqqt, gjfzynkzq = Hello, beautiful
Bjqhtrj yt ymj* btwqi = Welcome to the world
N mtuj dtz qnpj ny = I hope you like it
Stb ljy* xtrj wjxy = Now get some rest
*these ones I miswrote the 'j's as 'i's on the post bc I am squirrel brain
