What’s your opinion on relationship between Roger and young shuggy
Making this quick because I think I've talked about this already an awful lot (and I love it. Please. Anything that has to do with young Shuggy makes me go feral every time).
A lot of people believe Roger played favorites when it came to his kids because. I mean. Look at the scenes we have. Giving Shanks his hat (in fact, both of his hats in that Wano scene) and in general not paying that much attention to Buggy unless it's to tell him to stay behind instead of going to Laugh Tale because he is sick (which is literally what any father would do and this only shows that he cares for him).
But I think he loved both a lot, just in different ways. And I believe that both ended up pretty messed up with how they were raised.
From what we've seen, the flashbacks we have are from Oden's POV and Buggy's. We never have Roger's or Shanks' or even Reyleigh's interpretations of what happened. So, from what we've seen, I think Roger put a lot of pressure on Shanks to be his legacy at a very young age and Buggy interpreted this with envy and thought Roger didn't care about him the same. Which is a valid thought, especially from what we've seen. But I personally like to think Roger went just a little bit harder on Buggy because of the typical "You have a lot of potential but you have to fight harder than the rest to achieve it and by ignoring you I am giving you an opportunity to be independent" or something like that. Because I think it makes more sense than Roger straight-up playing favorites.
Seriously, where is my scene of Buggy resenting Shanks and saying that he was Roger's favorite and Shanks being extremely fucking confused because "What do you mean his favorite?! He only talked about you, moron!".
So to summarize, I think we don't have that much content to have a specific canon interpretation, but in my opinion, I think Buggy's POV is really altered by his jealousy and envy toward Shanks and it only shows that Shanks was also under a lot of pressure. But that doesn't mean Roger didn't love them. Those were his kids!!!! That is their dad!!! I'm not fighting anybody about this. So he loved them but since he knew he was dying he trusted Shanks a little bit too much being the face of the new generation and gave Buggy a bit of a harsher treatment because he thought he had to work more than the average.
And that is how you end up with two sons: A failguy with a savior complex who is always sacrificing himself and drinking himself stupid and a clown with an inferiority complex that only knows how to survive instead of fighting for what he wants.

I SHALL REMEMBER THIS WEEK I SWEAR TO FUCK
progress ain’t exactly speedy but we’re coming along, we’re coming along, and I’m having a lovely time ☺️
So have a lil Timkerboy this week, as a treat! I’m going camping again next week, so we’ll see if I remember that Wednesday too
———————
Well You Did Get Down On One Knee part iv
Tucker, Conner, and Tim had actually gotten through another round of Spiderheck in between the rabid buzzing of Tim and Tucker’s phones.
Conner had the good sense to mute his and toss it behind the couch… after sharing the “good news” of Timblr with the Young Justice chat.
He regretted nothing, despite Tim’s alternate pouting and threats. Tucker was pretty impressed, and pretty sure that it wasn’t just for the guy’s good looks this time.
Finally, after the fourth time Tim’s ringtone changed itself and blasted at full volume (making Tucker completely drop his controller), the Black tech gave up, sighing heartily and dropping his head into his hands.
Not least to hide the sudden wicked grin on his face as an idea struck. Because yeah, sure, he could help Tim try and unhack fucking Oracle on the sly, or… they could remove the distraction another way.
(Tucker wasn’t a thousand percent ungrateful for the distraction; he was pretty sure even without the merry buzzing of his social life burning down around him he’d have had a hard time concentrating on the game.
It just plain wasn’t fair; Conner was too fucking hot, and so earnest, and excited when he was doing well! All the little shouts and exclamations, the broad grins, Tucker was really beginning to doubt his own demisexual nature.
Although, to be fair, it wasn’t like he actually wanted to… interact while Conner was being cuter than Cujo with a rubber bone. Just. It was hard to think about anything else when he could be appreciating all… that instead.
At least while Tim’s ass was being blown off by at least three separate group chats, Tucker’s floundering was less embarrassing.)
Tim gave him a consoling pat on the back while Conner whooped in victory, probably trying to comfort Tucker in the loss. Tucker let him for a moment, running a couple quick calculations in his head.
Because yeah, he’d never got around to asking Danny to ecto infuse any of the Waynes’ tech; not the batcomputer nor the gaming consoles, but. Well. They’d played for hours the last two nights, and it wasn’t like Tucker had never gotten his hands through a console’s innards.
It had to count as knowing the device, right?
And it wasn’t like it was that hard, doing it for just three people. For just one game.
Looking up at the other two, he gave them both a slightly shyer grin.
“So, like… I know we’re having a good time and all,” he began, and Tim groaned theatrically as he was interrupted yet again by his ringtone.
“I’m about to ask Superboy to toss this thing into space,” he grumbled, glowering at his phone.
Conner reached innocently towards it and Tim snatched it back up immediately. Tucker settled back once it was safe too, grinning sheepishly even if it wasn’t his bluff Conner called.
Conner tipped him a wink and Tucker had to clear his throat and give his head a quick shake to clear his blush.
“Right… yeah, uh, anyway. What if I had a better way to get us away from distractions?” He asked as innocently as he could, staring at the screen instead of that far too attractive face.
He could still see the other two sit up from the corner of his eye, both looking interested.
“We’re not allowed to game in the Bat Cave,” Tim said quickly, with a resigned air that said the question had come up before… and enough disappointment that they’d probably done it and been caught.
Which, yeah, thinking of the size of the screen in the cave, Tucker suddenly really wanted to try that too.
Already banned though. And he and Danny were already on thin enough ice with Batman as it was.
Reluctantly dismissing the thought, he returned his attention to the present moment, grin spreading as he turned to face Tim directly.
(Tim was safe. Tim was, objectively, a very handsome young man and Tucker could appreciate that in a distant way, but being pretty was just so much less interesting that almost anything else about Tim.
Tucker could worship him through a distant computer screen, so the pretty blue eyes weren’t much of a distraction. Looking at Tim face to face was really cool, but Tucker would be more tongue tied watching him code.)
“Sure, but you remember I told you about my technopathy? I can interface with machines I know really well,” he added for Conner’s benefit, accidentally looking over in time to preen as his face lit up with interest.
Tim, for some reason, stifled a snicker.
“Yeah, you mentioned. And that it was a little more complicated, but go on,” he prodded, and Conner shot him a look that Tucker was gonna have to ask questions about.
Later. Once he was done showing off a little. And, probably, getting his ass kicked at Spiderheck.
Tucker Foley was a master of video game controls, sure, and that sorta helped, as did “knowing you’ve been thrust into a video game”. He just didn’t delude himself into thinking it’d be enough to counter the actual literal battle training of superheroes.
But hey, maybe having all those extra legs would fuck them both up for long enough that he’d win a few rounds.
“Well I think you might’ve already noticed, but I know this game really well.”

Highschool au where Fushimi is in the student council and Yata is a delinquent and they used to be friends. Fushimi won't open up to anyone and so most people don't know his issues. He doesn't cooperate well with others either and got scolded by student president Munakata who accidentally hit a sore spot on the way. Yata hears this and gets angry on Fushimi's behalf and punched Munakata in the face. When asked why he did it, Yata just says he hates the president and it's totally not for Fushimi.
Would Munakata ever scold his precious Fushimi-kun though XD Maybe he says something that Yata thinks is an insult, or that like ends up accidentally harsher than Munakata realizes. So imagine high school AU and Yata hangs out with the school delinquents, acting like a tough guy all the time and bragging that he can beat up any nerd from the student council who tries to tell him what to do. The aforementioned nerd from the student council Fushimi takes that as a challenge, because he hates worthless delinquents who won’t ever amount to anything. Really though he and Yata were childhood friends who had a terrible falling out right at the beginning of high school, when Yata gravitated to the cool guys of Homra and Fushimi felt left out, eventually abandoning Yata and joining the student council.
Student council president Munakata is of course more than pleased to have Fushimi-kun working with him. Munakata is very impressed with Fushimi’s abilities and work ethic. Oh maybe like this is sort of a ROK style AU where Munakata is trying to get the other delinquents of jungle to start coming to class and not hiding in the computer lab all day. As part of this he concocts a plan wherein he and Fushimi will have a small public fight and Fushimi will try to infiltrate jungle’s computer lab. Except this time things don’t go quite so smoothly, Munakata is scolding Fushimi for like allowing a computer virus to erase their files and kinda hints that Fushimi did that on purpose, pulling out the ‘you’re used to being a traitor’ line — and then Yata comes out of nowhere and just punches Munakata right in the face.
Yata is immediately standing over Munakata yelling like how dare you say that shit to Saruhiko while Munakata retrieves his glasses and tries to regain his dignity, he did not entirely expect this and in retrospect maybe he should have made sure Yata Misaki was not nearby before putting on this play. Yata’s angry ranting is suddenly interrupted by the smallest ‘heh,’ and Yata turns just as Fushimi can’t take it anymore and starts laughing. Yata’s very confused because wasn’t Fushimi just being horribly scolded, Fushimi completely can’t keep a straight face anymore as he’s like ‘Misaki you really are an idiot.’ Yata’s quickly like ‘w-well, I just don’t like that guy’s face — I-I didn’t punch him for you or anything!’ (unexpected Yata tsun moment). Yata’s kinda happy to see Fushimi’s laughing though, he doesn’t know why but he feels much lighter all of a sudden (at least until he hears the sound of Munakata clearing his throat behind him all ‘Yata-kun, if you could accompany me to the principal’s office’).
