omg I am so sorry I completely forgot to put the alphabet 😅 E C J M T for Shanks for the angst alphabet! thank you and sorry for the mistake! ❤️

Angst Alphabet - Shanks

a/n: hiii! Thank y’all for requesting! To the second anon, I went with Shanks (I hope that’s ok!!!) 💗💗💗

LOLOL THIS MY HUSBANDDDDD 💍😍

A-Accident (would they blame themselves if you died in an accident?)

It would depend on how much he felt he could have prevented it. However, Shanks understands all to well just how cruel the world can be. He can’t constantly be in control of everything, so although it would be devastating, he would have to realize that this is reality.

B-Break up (How would they break up with you?)

Shanks would use the excuse that he is a Yonko. He’s no good for you, and you deserve so much better than an infamous pirate who only brings danger. While these are just excuses - ways to make breaking up with you easier - he really would be speaking from the heart. Shanks has always felt this way but never voiced it, but now it’s finally time to let you go.

C-Crying (how would they make you cry?)

He leaves for long periods of time and refuses to you along. You know he’s only doing it for your safety, but it hurts that he doesn’t think you’re strong or responsible enough to join his crew on their voyages (note: he doesn’t actually think you’re not strong or responsible – his pirate life is just extremely dangerous, even as a yonko).

D-Death (how would they react to your death?)

He’s seen and experienced a lot of death in his life so he’d be a able to cope with it a little better than others would. Even so, your death would still be heart-breaking (he would mourn privately though). Now, if he literally saw you get killed in front of him then RIP to the person who killed you because they will be the one/s to die next.

E-Emotion (what is one emotion they would try to hide the most and how would they do it?)

Shanks is quite an open book. If he’s angry everyone knows. If he’s happy everyone knows (etc.). But, if I really had to pick one… I suppose it would be sadness or grief. He feels obligated to put on a front for his crew (although they can see right through it). He tends to let out his sadness and grief when he’s alone.

F-Fight (do you two ever fight? How big are the fights? What do you fight about? Etc.)

He tends to crack jokes before your fights can escalate into anything too serious. Sometimes it’s intentional, but other times it’s just his personality shining through. And rather than serious fights there’s just a lot of teasing and taunts between the two of you.

If you were to have a serious fight, it would be about both of your safety (As would most fights with any of the One Piece characters).

G-Guilt (what is the biggest thing they feel guilty about?)

More often than not, Shanks finds himself able let go of a LOT of shit. But the one thing he can’t seem to stop feeling guilty about is his failure to show up to Marineford on time. He knows he’s not directly responsible for Ace’s death, but that doesn’t stop the overwhelming guilt. If only he had gotten there a few minutes earlier.

H-Heartbreak (what would cause them pain in the relationship? How would they deal during a break-up?)

Coming back to you after each voyage is something he always looks forward to. However, that happiness is short-lived when he realizes he has to leave again in a few weeks. It’s always so painful having to say goodbye again.

I don’t think he would be too different during a break-up. Perhaps he may crack a few less jokes, but other than that, his personality and demeanour when around others remains the same. It isn’t until he’s alone that he lets his smile fall.

I-Injured (how would they react if you are badly injured?)

Undoubtedly, he’d be concerned, but he knows you’ll pull through (you have to pull through). So, after that initial concern has passed, he’ll be feeling all types of pissed off. Whoever, or whatever, injured you will pay – and honestly, he may not even deal the perpetrator himself (his crew is already on it - you are like family to them).

J-Jealousy (what do they do if they are jealous?)

I honestly think Shanks is just the type of person to just tell you if he’s jealous. But he wouldn’t say “uhh I’m feeling a little jealous” or anything along those lines – no. Instead, Shanks puts on a little pout and does a massive fake sigh until you finally ask him what’s wrong. That’s when he hits you with the “I guess my attention just isn’t enough for you”, and you’re like “HUH?? MF WHAT?” He’s literally such a child HAHA.

But, if there’s one particular person he really does not like you being around and they won’t leave you alone, then he is not at all opposed to just shoving his tongue down your throat right in front of them. That’ll definitely get the message across.

K-Kill (would they kill for revenge?)

Shanks may be a goofy and laid-back individual, but he will resort to violence if the situation calls for it. So, it is very likely that Shanks would kill for revenge. Maybe he wouldn’t necessarily do it himself. But, if he orders it, it’ll definitely happen.

L-Loss (what is their greatest loss?)

Gol D. Roger’s death was probably one of the greatest losses in Shanks’ life. Roger is the reason Shanks is a pirate today, and young shanks was absolutely broken by his death.

(hard to write much for this one seeing as shanks’ character is still quite a mystery to us!)

M-Mistake (what is the worst mistake they ever made with you?)

One time he completely forgot a date night that you spent SO LONG planning. It wasn’t just any date night either. It was a date you planned on his final night before him and his crew had to leave again for a while. You spent hours waiting for to show up, but he was nowhere to be seen. Finally, he showed up at your place, breath reeking of booze. You just looked at him and it hit him (he was like “OH SHIT”). He started apologizing profusely. He didn’t try to make any excuses, he completely owned up to being a shitty boyfriend. But, the moment he knew he had well and truly fucked up was when you just nodded and waved good night to him, wishing him safe travels – you didn’t cry, get visibly angry you just left alone. Shanks knew that was far worse than any yelling.

N-Nightmares (how often do they have them? What are they about? How do they deal with it?)

I literally am not joking when I say this but I think Shanks practically drinks till he passes out so even if he were to get nightmares he wouldn’t wake up LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO (ok maybe I am joking with this one but also kind of not).

In all seriousness though, I don’t think Shanks has nightmares very frequently. It’s gotten to the point where any fear or things of that matter that could be nightmares for him, have become so common in his life that he almost finds it not frightening to think about.

O-Outrage (how and why would they get mad at you?)

He would get mad at you for placing yourself in unnecessary danger. He’d call you stupid and irresponsible, even though he doesn’t really mean any of those things – it’s just the image of him potentially losing you forever is replaying in his mind and it absolutely terrifies him.

P-Past (what has happened in your relationship that changed the way you saw each other?)

You saw him get serious serious once before. Like the kind of serious where he uses his conquerors haki and everything. It definitely caused a bit of a change in your relationship as it was terrifying to witness. You’ve always known Shanks was strong and intimidating when needed, but that moment really showed you what it meant when people called him an “emperor of the sea”.

Q-Quality (what is their most dangerous/toxic quality?)

Not wanting to openly express his sadness and grief in front of others can be a very unhealthy quality. Shanks doesn’t allow himself good enough opportunities to express him emotions in a safe and healthy manner.

R-Rejection (how would they react to you rejecting their confession (or the other way around))

(First of all WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO REJECT SHANKS ANYWAY LIKE HUBBA HUBBA I LOVE HIM ANYWHOOOOOOOOO…..) Shanks is the type to just shrug it off. He’d be a little disappointed, bc c’mon the hottest most amazing person he’s ever known just turned him down! But he knows not everything in life goes how you want it to. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and this just happens to be one of the things he’s lost. So ultimately, he’ll just shrug it off. (he will definitely get teased by his crew though).

S-Scars (battle or self-inflicted)

Shanks has no self-inflicted wounds. But he does have a scar across his left eye given to him by Blackbeard. He also has a missing arm which he (heroically) sacrificed as he saved lil Luffys life (does a missing arm even count as a scar?)

T-Trust (have they ever broken your trust?)

He’s never given you any reason to not trust him. He’s always open and honest with you. Well, as honest as he can be without placing you in any danger. Trust was something needed from the get-go of your relationship because he would be gone for long periods of time. The two of you wouldn’t be able to last without trust.

Oh, also if shanks ever did do anything to break your trust you best believe his crew will beat his ass (especially Benn). You’re family to them.

U-Urge (how badly do they want to see you after you guys separated?)

My god does he want to see you. He would give his other arm just to be right by your side in an instant. He’s gone for weeks, sometimes months, at a time. Shanks loves his crew, they’re a lively bunch and he trusts them with his life, and vice versa. But they’re not you. They don’t provide him with that same feeling of home that you do. Sure, this could be fixed if he let you join the crew on their journeys, but he absolutely cannot place you in that kind of danger. You’re already in enough danger as it is simply being in a relationship with him.

V-Vicious (what do they do when they lash out on you?)

Rather than lashing out at you, Shanks tends to give you the silent treatment. He looks at you without a word and just turns away. He does this in an attempt to make you feel guilty and as if everything is your fault.

W-Weak (what makes them feel weak how do they try to avoid it?)

There isn’t much that makes Shanks feel weak. But, being unable to be near his s/o is one of the few things that does make him feel weak. It’s a constant struggle between wanting to have them around him constantly, but also not wanting to place them in any danger. Ultimately, he decides that not placing them in danger is the better choice, despite how much it pains him.

X-X-ray (what do they hate and show it most obviously?)

Shanks can handle being picked on and ridiculed himself, but he will not tolerate that sort of behaviour towards his friends. The second someone goes after a friend (or someone else he cares about) they are done for.

Y-Yearn (what is one thing that they want but can’t have?)

LMFAOOOOOO WHY DID MY BRAIN AUTOMATICALLY THINK “his arm back” OOP-

I’M SORRY BUT I LITERALLY CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN HIS ARM HAHAHAHAHAH

Z-Zero (what do they do/say in your dying moments?)

He’d try to crack a few jokes to at least help you feel better. Other than that, he just tries to make the most of your final moments together.

Note

for the spell character's name: A, C, E and S, A, B, O

A: What are/were this character’s best subjects in school?

He’s really good with his hands! So shop class/woodwork were his favourites - he can make like. So many things??? He’s pretty talented at making Something out of Basically Nothing. Twine and a stick fishing-rod boy sorta shtick. Also I really like the idea that he’s good at chemistry/science. Even if he’s not great at like, memorising formulas, he’s still good at…remembering how things work together? And he’s pretty clever, just practically clever, not theoretically clever.

…Doesn’t stop him from doing shit like letting luffy water-ski on him tho.

C: Can they swim well?

Yeah!! He grew up watching over Lu, who was shit, so he got good at swimming. Also, it’s fun. After he gets his DF he doesn’t necessarily miss swimming as much as he misses floating. And he doesn’t forget that he can’t swim, moreso his first instinct is save sibling and it takes physical effort to hold himself back.

E: How are they with children?

TERRIFIED. Oh I have so many thoughts of Ace around kids. Okay so like first of all, I’d like it known that he’s really really good with kids. Sometimes he’s a bit stupid with them (see: that one time he just kinda. Chucked a child tree-top height and then almost dropped them because he didn’t expect them to scream and flail in the air), but overall he is super good with kids.

But this is matched by: he’s so fucking scared of fucking them up. And other people’s kids?? Where he’s the dorky older brother, the grinning supportive uncle, where he’s got clear rules and he Knows he doesn’t have to deal with them for more than an hour, where even if they cry there’s probably a parent on hand, or it’s not on him to be responsible for this tiny child– he’s fine with that, and it’s still a little nerve-wracking, but he can Deal, and he actually likes kids. He likes kids a lot.

He could just thinks he could never have his own. The thought of having his own kids is fuckin’ scary. He doesn’t want to fuck them up, or hurt them, or abandon them, he’s not a good dad, he won’t ever be a good dad, like– this boy is so so afraid of having his own kids. He would love lovelovelove a child, love to be a dad like Whitebeard was to him, he would smother that child in his affection, he would be an amazing dad. But there is absolutely no way he would be comfortable having a kid. If his s/o mentioned it he’d probably shut down or get really panicky, or try and turn the conversation around into something else, like, a million potential ways to get out of having that convo. ‘Cause he’s really scared he’d hurt a kid like his dad hurt him.

So he’s super awesome with kids and anyone who knows him well can see that he’d be an awesome dad and he’d really like his own kids but unless he was either a) completely blank-face thrown into it or b) had heaps of support from his S/O, he’d try and find the baby somewhere else to live, like with Whitebeard or Makino or someone he trusted. Because he doesn’t trust himself to be a good dad.

S: How stealthy are they?

super stealth. he’s ninja man extraordinaire at sneaking into things.

But like. keeping things on the DL?? fuck no snickers. He found and read Koala’s diary once - (it was an accident, she’d tried to disguise it as info for the army bc most people don’t actually read reports snickers and Sabo was like Oh I haven’t Read This I Probably Should and by the time he was like wait this feels like a diary he was already about a month in) - and was So Bad at keeping his new knowledge secret that he gave up and ‘fessed to it.

Conversely I also 100% see him as Best Lie Child but only bc nobody expects him to be able to lie. And he never sounds like he’s lying, he’s drawling and sarcastic and keeps close enough to the truth that unless you know what the truth actually is you’d never pick it up. And even then he may get you to question it.

A: What are/were this character’s best subjects in school?

Writing. English, technically, but mainly writing; he’s good with his words, and it was basically the only subject that interested him. If he’s interested he’ll work at it. If it’s necessary, if he needs it, if he is the one who decides he needs it, he’ll pour himself into doing something until he’s amazing at it, and he decided he wanted to tell stories and so he did. Sabo is…one of those kinda frustrating people who, if they chose to be good at something, seems to just…automatically be good at it?? Especially if it’s cerebral. But there’s also a lot of time where he pours himself into getting better than just good, and he seems to have Lots of things he’s Really Amazing At that just come from him being clever and good at figuring stuff out.

So. English. And probably PE.

B: Do they have any allergies?

….yes. I’ve just decided. mainly bc I have a cold and I want sabo to suffer now, too that he gets hay fever. It is the worst thing ever. He hATES it. And? The real kicker??? For a long while he didn’t realise he had it. As a child he grew up on the revo army base, which was desert and dust and yeah the dust would make him choke and grumble sometimes but it wasn’t pollen, and then his first few missions out were somehow not spring islands, and then he’s seventeen and snot is pouring out of his nose and he’s basically crying, his eyes are watering so bad, and he can’t breathe bc of all the freakin’ pollen in the air (flower festival + spring island = bad) and for a red hot second everybody thinks he’s been poisoned but one of the crew who’s with them is just like

“oh. Allergies.” and gives him some medicine and tea and pulls out their stash of mint-smelling tissues so sabo can blow his nose.

Sabo, to this day, still claims he was poisoned (but he keeps antihistamines on him now, and double-checks missions that may lead to spring islands.)

O: What would it take to break them, inside and out?

wow. sure, okay.

Okay.

Well first of all Sabo is– yeah, really strong, he went through a Lot and he’s been….in a lot of bad situations, I feel?? And he still has the drive and power and commitment to keep going and keep fighting for the revolution. Losing Ace…really fucked him up, but I feel part of that was like, gaining back his best friend and brother in the exact same moment he lost him/didn’t know Luffy was alive. He had all of his bad memories and all of his good memories come back at the same time that he learned his Most Trusted Person died. S’not great.

And I bring that up just bc I feel like…losing luffy (before the end of the series/the revolution was over) would fuck him up but I don’t think it’d break him. Like he’d be distraught and hurting but. You have to carry on. There is time for mourning later. There are people to save and wars to end and without anybody to stay alive for he’s vicious and brutal (but then again when was he not?)

I feel like. It’d be really hard to break Sabo when/if he still had the CauseTM. To quote lucky, “it’s the personal stuff that has the power to break him, but it’s the mission that keeps him going”, so you 100% have to figure out a way to tie both of them together and snap ‘em at the same time.

After the revolution was done? If the revolution was done and they lost - he’d still be going, still be fighting - but god forbid the revolution was done and they won. They won with losses, they won with blood, he’s missing the people he cared about, but he steps up to do his duty, to keep working, and then they tell him they don’t need him anymore.

And Luffy didn’t last longer than Roger did, when he claimed the one piece, so Sabo doesn’t even have family left. He doesn’t have the cause he’d dedicated his life to, he doesn’t have his family, he tries to do good and keep fighting even without the Army at his side, but people are afraid of him, he keeps fucking stuff up, he tries to help but in the latter years the only thing he was good at was fighting, and he never- he never learnt how to take care of himself. That was Koala’s job, and Hack’s job, and Luffy’s job, to poke and prod him into letting himself be a person instead of a martyr, a revolutionary, and he doesn’t have them anymore.

I feel like, to break Sabo, you’d have to systematically strip him of the things that he feels provides worth. Strip him of his title as brother, strip him of the title of revolutionary, say there are no more causes to fight for, and watch him try and live in a world at peace.

Alternatively, enough times in a no-win scenario would make him pretty jaded and cruel, and I don’t necessarily know if it’d break him unless it was….a thousand times in a no-win, and then you added something else, someone else important to him - Luffy, who comes in and has passion and makes him believe again, who fights to the last breath and then takes his last breath - and Sabo…almost expects Luffy to come back in the next loop but. He doesn’t.

I feel like knowing finality would really fuck him up.
