“His real name is Roronoa Zoro, but everyone calls him Pirate Hunter Zoro. He’s like a bloodthirsty hound… roaming the seas, hunting men for the bounties on their heads. They say he’s a demon in human form.”
We make a lot of fun of Buggy but, honestly, I would be fucking angry at the world all the time too. Imagine growing up as your best friend's shadow, always being seen as the weak and the clown because of course, Shanks is the legacy. He's the strongest. He's the one to wear the straw hat. And you accept that and give up on your dream for him. To follow him because at least that way you'll be able to achieve your dreams, even if you can't call it yours, but his. You give up on your dream and decide to go for an easier path instead, maps and treasure and money and everything a pirate ought to be, but he fucking ruins it. And it's not even his fault, but he's the one to make it happen. Nobody takes you seriously because saying "He made me eat a devil fruit and lost my map" doesn't sound as awful as "He made me lose my independence as a pirate and only way to follow a path of my own and now the sea I love so much hates my guts". And then your father captain dies in front of your god-damned eyes, leaving the youngest generation to continue his legacy. You think "Oh, well, at least Shanks is here. He'll keep the memory of our captain alive", but he hesitates. He shakes under the thought of the future. Falters for a moment. Somebody you —everyone— considers stronger, rougher, smarter and way better as a legacy than you, doubts himself. After so many years of you trusting him despite everything else. After so many years of everyone else trusting him, leaving you behind. So of course it fucking hurts and of course Buggy is rightfully mad. And of course he refuses to go with somebody that doesn't take this as seriously as him. Somebody that made the sea hate him and also hesitates after so many people trusted him doesn't deserve Buggy's love respect. And so Buggy goes away. And now nobody takes him seriously when talking about his past because he has become the clown everyone thought he was. They don't understand how somebody like him shared a room with somebody like Shanks. They don't understand how somebody like him was raised by the king of the pirates himself. But what they'll never know is that Shanks was the one who hesitated. And they'll never know Buggy was the one leaving his dream behind.
So I think Buggy is rightfully angry at everything and everyone and especially Shanks, even if he hasn't actually done anything. Buggy's anger and resentment is one of the things I'll always defend.

Superman, trying to befriend Batman: If not friend, why friend shaped?
Literally everyone else, looking at Batman's costume, designed to be menacing and incite fear: He is NOT friend shaped!!
fem sanji is all that goes through my brain yall like it’s just like bouncing around in there
Our boy is a fashion icon!!!
WAIT, bi Sanji au, right?
Sanji gets rejected by a woman and Usopp laughs. "Sanji can't even get a single date. Just give it up buddy, no hard feelings." It's easy for him because he's not even trying but then Sanji takes it personally and pulls the "You don't understand how hard it is to be irresistible to men but rejected by women!" And as if that wasn't shocking enough he followed it up with a "You're lucky I've got high standards, or else I would've made you eat your words!"
Luffy overhears that and jumps into the conversation. "Am I a high standard?"
To which Sanji surprisingly answered with "You're gonna be the king of the pirates, aren't you? So yeah."
Zoro, in a panic blurted out "I'm a catch too! I'm going to be the strongest showman!"
Kind of out of reflex, they turned to Usopp, but he just backed away a bit "I'm not uh... I'm not in line for whatever polyamory thing you're going for, thanks."
Before they could realize what he implied, Usopp was already gone.
