#and the moon is only illuminated a half at a time!!! shanks who provides but not enough!!!

[introspectivememories]

can't stop fucking thinking about sun/moon shuggy bc shanks is the sun always and buggy is forever the moon. buggy will never be the sun, he will never shine as brilliantly as shanks or anyone else. and the moon makes no light of it's own!!!! it only shines bc the sun's light reflects off of it!!!! buggy never shines by himself!!! he will never make his own light!!! buggy who is always second best, shining only from the light shanks gives him. even worse, you only ever see half of the moon illuminated at one time!!!! shanks who gives buggy the light he needs to shine but only for certain parts of buggy!!!! never all of him!!!!! buggy never shines fully and he never will bc buggy is the moon, he isn't a star or a comet or a meteor, he's a moon and moons don't shine by themselves. and buggy who devotes himself to shanks bc he wants to shine, by god he wants it so badly he aches somedays, but shanks is the golden child, shining with splendor, and buggy knows when to stop fighting a losing battle. he sticks around for years drawn in by the gravity of shanks' orbit until loguetown, and as his captain's head hits the ground, buggy feels himself splinter into thousands of little meteoroids. he leaves shanks standing in the rain and thinks to himself, i will shine by myself or i will die trying

#oh my god sun/moon shuggy makes me insane #me in the corner of my kitchen rocking myslef and whispering: he shines only with the light shanks gives him #and how crazy is that even in this buggy is still second best??? #and the moon is only illuminated a half at a time!!! shanks who provides but not enough!!! #never enough!!! #and the moon moves father away from earth every year! buggy who slowly distances himself from shanks until there's nothing left!!! #and the thing about meteors is that they burn up in the atmosphere!!! #but just for a moment they are the most amazing thing in the night sky #buggy who would've given up everything for shanks bc shanks was his roger!! #he would've followed shanks into hell if shanks asked him but shanks looks to him in lgtwn and says he doesn't care about the op #how heartbreaking it must've been for buggy to look at this boy he's followed since childhood bc lord knows buggy wasn't enough #but shanks who is the prodigy the golden child the favorite for as long as buggy has known him #and child!bug looking at all the potential shanks shows and looking at himself and realizing that he will always pale in comparison to shnk #that anything he achieves will always be in the shadows!! #oh the voices the fucking voices #one piece #buggy the clown #buggy one piece #op buggy #akagami no shanks #shanks one piece #op shanks #shuggy #shanks x buggy
