this scene kills me bc the fact that sanji was standing there long enough to drop what he was doing and have a smoke just to eavesdrop on usopp (in the open. bro didn’t even try to HIDE that he was staring right at him LMFAOOO)

Something about Sanji's love for Usopp being the only thing he can call his and nobody can take away from him

[lankayu]

usopp confessing to sanji some time during skypiea & sanji rejecting him out of fear, insecurity, and denial of his feelings… telling him “it’ll pass”

and then water 7 happens & he’s watching usopp walk out the door. it never did pass

euyyyghhh today im diving into my sanusoverse headcanons and todays topic is playing PRETEND because they are fated to pretend (MGMT🫡🫡🫡) i have this long ass twitter thread of quotes that remind me of sanuso and i happened to add two back to back that have similar themes and I think they really go hand in hand, showing how each of them yearn

i think majority of sanusoers agree that sanji is without a doubt the one in the relationship to deny his feelings, and we’re talking over the course of MONTHS… the only thing that forces him to confront them is the exhaustion of the front he’d have to put up in front of his bestfriend, of having to pretend. sometimes he feels like hanging around usopp is almost dreadful and it hurts because he hadn’t done a thing. sanji’s getting all up in his head and he knows but it’s a force that simply can’t be stopped!! usopp is his best friend. the one who tells him jokes that make him laugh harder than he ever has and he hates himself for feeling this way and making things so complicated. he tells himself he can longer do this. everyday he looks at usopp and thinks, “i can no longer pretend i don’t want to love you” because it’s all he’s ever wanted since he got to truly know him. yet, he won’t do a thing. he won’t say a word about his true feelings. he cannot, but he forces himself to keep pretending, because he’s not as brave as usopp thinks

USOPP, on the other hand… he KNOWS sanji likes him and he KNOWS the cook is pretending he doesn’t feel the sparks between them and he pretends it doesn’t bother him. but it does. it will for as long he yearns. it’s the worst feeling in the world, knowing your best friend is in love with you and watching him laugh pretending he isn’t. usopp was always a bit off put by sanji’s obnoxious infatuation with women so like. he gets it, but would loving him really be such a scary thing? usopp knows the answer to sanji’s inner turmoil and he fears he’ll fight those feelings forever. but he doesn’t mind waiting for him, even if this longing goes on forever. so he pretends too. he puts on a brave face and pretends that sanji’s denial doesn’t bother him

and when those sparks end up igniting a flame, then what?🧐🧐

the silence will take care of itself

zosopp on my mind

seeing you in places you are not

“It’s the coward’s way out.” “… Well, you know me!”

When you accidentally learn/unload too much about/onto your crewmate, but it all works out. Set between Water 7 and Thriller Bark.

the calling

for all the sanusoers out there

I'm a simple girl I hear that that Sanjis concept design had him as a sniper and my first thought is does that mean Usopp would be the cook

[lankayu]

sanuso worms in my brainnnn😵‍💫 welcome to sanji’s struggle of being in love for the first time and not quite knowing how to go about confessions

i am a firm believer of sanji being in denial from little garden to water 7. after usopp returns to the crew, sanji finally comes to terms with his feelings for usopp as that gaping hole in his chest is filled by his presence — and following the acceptance comes the unbearable tension when he’s around the sniper. nothing has changed between them; sanji still respects usopp as the brave talented sniper he is…in fact, they’re even closer after the battle at enies lobby. sanji argued that it made the matter of his intensifying crush worse. but of course, the awkwardness was all in his head and it was his fault he couldn’t act normal around usopp or talk like they used to

but he misses talking to him. he couldn’t stand the thought of usopp permanently leaving the crew and never getting the chance to see him again. and now usopp is here, sailing alongside them, as things should be. he misses him so much so pulls himself out of his head and musters the courage to make a decision; he’ll tell usopp how he feels. it’ll fix whatever’s going on with him hopefully, because he’s been swatting these thoughts away like flies for months now but he can’t deny any longer how much more than a friend he wants to be to the sharpshooter. the only problem is that he can’t quite figure out how to tell him

sanji remembers that sunset at water 7, that bridge, where he had overheard usopp rehearsing stupid scenarios to get the straw hats to take him back (he still cant quite place why he had stuck around to listen to the idiotic display) and it gives him an idea. next thing he knows he finds himself pacing back and forth in the kitchen, rehearsing different scenarios of “the big moment.” he doesn’t want to come off as a sap, but he also doesn’t want to play it casual because he needs it to be special. this could either completely ruin them or complete them and sanji couldn’t fuck it up

after writing out a declaration of love on a piece of paper and practicing said declaration out loud and probably getting walked in on a few times by the sunny’s local food thief (luffy) he decides this rehearsing stuff is stupid and usopp is an idiot for doing silly stuff like this and why the hell did he even try something so ridiculous and fuck it all, he was just going to wait until the right moment because that’s maybe the most romantic way to go about it (even if it means this’ll take 5 more months)

there’d definitely be multiple instances where sanji has the perfect opportunity and tries to tell usopp before immediately backing out, muttering serious “it’s nothing” “nevermind” ‘s and whatnot, leaving usopp dumbfounded everytime. but he already sorta knows (more so just has his suspicions and mutual feelings to return) so he decides he’ll let the cook figure things out on his own until he’s ready. because knowing sanji, he’s probably going through an identity crisis because of him…usopp does feel the slightest bit bad that someone like him has put sanji in such a dilemma

I think the moment that the confession leaves sanji’s mouth would be the most inconvenient moment possible. possibly…. in the middle of battle, when they’re both pumping with adrenaline. possibly when usopp snipes an enemy that was just about to slice a distracted sanji in half — and the cook is so pathetically head over heels at this point, his bottled up love and the overwhelming feeling of admiration in his chest overflowing all at once, he just outright blurts out “i love you” when usopp asks if he’s okay and he doesn’t even realize what’s been said and done until usopp is cheekily smiling at him, saying something along the lines of “i know”

sanji doesn’t even get a chance to process what just happened in the span of 10 seconds before he’s forced back into battle, another wave of opponents storming the battlefield. he’ll have to deal with it later
