@giurochedadomani Really Got Me Thinking About Shanks And His Abandonment Issues.

@giurochedadomani really got me thinking about Shanks and his abandonment issues.

I think he has the terrible habit of repressing angry/hurt feelings that he has about his loved ones. Not quite toxic positivity but more like a man trying to always stay on good terms and good memories with loved ones.

It’s him not acknowledging the fact that Roger, Rayleigh his surrogate fathers and the Roger pirates his family essentially abandoned him when he needed them the most especially when from the flashback with buggy we can see that it so obviously hurt him enough to close off a part of himself causing Buggy to leave too.

All this to say it takes a lot for Shanks to get visibly angry at his loved ones and he has insane abandonment issues and guess who he decides to try and keep in his life? That right Mr I physically can’t stand to stay in one place for too long and my moods change like the grand line winds.

I do think Shanks genuinely what’s his relationship with Mihawk to be easy and he tends to do a lot to make it so and I do think it works half the time but Mihawk as much as I love him is tedious, he’s selfish, kind of childish, insanely single minded and incompetent with any emotion that isn’t a light boredom. and shanks for the most part does love all that about him and Shanks' peace loving people pleasing tendencies does mean they barely genuinely fight but when they do their emotional issues are so conflicting that its just a mess with a body count and a thousand mile radius.

I like to think that Mihawk and his boat are the living embodiment of Jack Sparrow’s broken compass. He just sets out to sea and ends up where he wants to go. He doesn’t crack open a map or a log pose once and therefore travels the most insane routes imaginable and arrives exactly on time, this drives the navigator of the Red Hair pirates and the marines assigned to tracking his movements visibly insane with jealousy.

The marines assigned to Mihawk trying to report his movements to Sengoku.

re: your comment "Somebody said destiel and destiel is the complete opposite of this." Um no destiel is exactly this. There is more proof for wincest than destiel in the show.

Uhm the show kind of literally ended with Castiel confessing his love so I don’t know 🤷🏿‍♀️.

there is this post that i Think came from reddit (here) about getting in a van with these groups of people. nami’s van is the right answer btw

I am consuming a media and you are going to hear about it

Every single Captain and their first mate in one piece, Even the evil ones too. it’s actually kind of concerning.

The only possible exceptions to this I can think of are Blackbeard and Shiryu of the rain. And who ever was the first mate of the Rocks Crew. Both crews that were just a slapdash of strong people. Their captains are essentially Pokémon catchers that value nothing but strength and destruction.

My favorite Captain and First mates tho are;

- Luffy & Zoro

- Shanks & Beckman

- Roger & Rayleigh

- Law & Bepo

And honorable mention to a non captain and first mate duo that still give the same vibes

- Sengoku & Garp.

But yeah just the never ending devotion of a loner and the extrovert they swore to follow to the ends of the world for the rest of their lives and probably after
