the difference between zosopp and sanuso (romantic OR platonic) is that Usopp is Zoro's specialest little guy and Zoro is someone Usopp hangs out with and looks up to and hides behind when things get scary, but Sanji and Usopp are best friends. They horse around, they beat each other up, they confide their worst fears trying to one up each other. Usopp hides behind Sanji sometimes, sure, but idk, Sanji's weaknesses are more obvious (bugs, fighting women, etc) so there are times when Usopp has to stand in front of Sanji too, yknow?
Like, how do I say this, all the crewmates are equal- Usopp and Zoro are equals- but with Sanji it feels like more... comradery? Zoro's a rock in a terrible storm- even rocks tend to get weathered and chipped and worn down, but they overall stay strong and steady. He has trouble being vulnerable and there are times when the burden he's placed on himself to keep the crew safe is crushing his chest. Usopp would help with that and be very understanding, but the point I'm trying to get with that is that those moments are few and far between. So I feel like Usopp, especially after Water 7, would take Zoro's lead on something like that, and keep most of his worries to himself or only talk about them sparingly unless they're really bad and/or he can't hide them.
Sanji is like a tree in a storm; he can be strong, yes, but it feels like he bends and sways with the storm, and has more obvious breaking points. He can relate more to Usopp's struggles rather than resorting to blunt honesty that might border on callous like Zoro. And while, with Zosopp, I tend to think of scenarios with Zoro being blunt like that as a good thing- because sometimes when you're spiraling, it's nice to have someone say exactly what's great about you and shoot down all your worries with straight facts that you can't argue with- I can also see this as being a bad thing. Anxiety can really twist up your brain sometimes, you know? And despite the words, the tone could still mess someone up if they're already feeling like a burden on others in some way.
With Sanuso it's a lot more understanding and thoughtful words. It's distractions and comfort food and patience- the kind reserved for Usopp- until Usopp talks about whatever's troubling him. Compared to Zosopp, it doesn't take as long for Usopp to open up, since he's done the same thing to Sanji at times and it's more familiar to him to talk and commiserate with Sanji about his worries and doubts and such. However, there are times stuff like this has absolutely no effect and Sanji will end up at a loss, no idea what to do or how to help over the course of several days with Usopp being quiet and keeping his distance, and he'll end up working himself up about it which will only serve to make Usopp feel worse and. yeah. bit of a vicious cycle with them.
So it's like. Usopp can be weak with both of them, but since I see Sanji as the type of guy who'd be more open with his worries (at least compared to Zoro), there's less of a need to 'perform' and be his best self around him. He's comfortable around Zoro, yes, but he is constantly wanting to show that he won't be a problem to him. On the other hand, while he's more open with Sanji, and Sanji with him, they tend to relate a bit too much with each other and they both have issues with causing trouble for others and being 'deserving of love' so failed attempts at consoling one hurts the other and creates an unpleasant cycle of misery and avoidance before some other crewmate (Zoro) tells them to quit being stupid and just fucking talk to each other.

Few things
Here's my Secret Life designs for Tango n Skizz. Uh. No they aren't matching. Tango does not want to be a part of this, given he straight up called Skizz "dead weight". Not to his face, but. I don't think they would be matching
This was drawn without me knowing smth like this basically happens in Session 2 (Skizz wanting to trade hearts with Tango to seal the deal and Tango jus. Bein like "nah we gotta save these for bargaining reasons"). I drew this before realizing this was. Basically what happened. Despite this I am gonna keep drawing Skizz with that lil locket on
Slightly redesigned Skizz. again. It isn't anything noticeable it jus makes coloring him easier
Tango's design has. A lot of notes to it. The green hair for starters. Ya know how if you get chlorine in blond hair it will make it a yucky green color? Yea that's Tango's hair. Whatever hair dye he's been using for his blue hair on HC is FINALLY fading and it looks like this. Makes him look stinky /aff. I also added purple beans to his void hand as well as redstone staining. Muted his colors a bit too
ANYWAYS THOUGH YEA I AM TOTALLY NORMAL ABOUT WHATEVER THESE TWO ARE. GOING THRU IN THIS SEASON. 100% NORMAL ABOUT THEM <- lying
(reblogs with tags/comments are appreciated. Thankyu)

The world is a little too soft sometimes. Like dont get me wrong, i love love and self care and mental health and i love when people go 'sometimes you just have to say no to things and you have to prioritise yourself and your mental health etc etc' like fuck, yes, but sometimes you also just have to just get fucking through. Get up, go do your chore, youll be fine. Sometimes you have to struggle through some stuff and you have to be uncomfortable, not because being out of your comfort zone is good or whatever, but because you dont have a choice. Don't skip that class youre just a little too lazy to go to, don't call in sick just to stay at home doing fuckall, don't say you cant hang out today. Get up, go out, do stuff. Sometimes you have to force yourself to do stuff and thats ok, youre a grown up person, youll survive.

54, 65, 66!! (purposely picked some hard ones for an evil reason… have fun ehe.)
What does that mean *squints eyes* if this are difficult ones I'm shoving you off the third floor/j (thanks for the questions little menace (affectionate))
54. Is cheating ever okay?
Hmm... I honestly can't think of a good reason where it would be okay.... I mean... Maybe if it was like, they tell you that you either cheat on your partner or they kill your family (or your partner) so you kinda have to do it, but you don't want to...? I don't think it would be considered cheating tho....
There are also some people who are into that sort of thing... Like, the partner wants to get cheated on, but that'd be like an agreement between them, so once more, it wouldn't be considered cheating on my books...
So yeah, I don't think there is. I think if one is tired of their partner or whatever reason it is they want to cheat, they should talk about it and either solve the problem or break up before someone gets hurt.
65. Your best friend of the opposite sex likes you, what do you do?
Ok so speaking hypothetical, right? HAHAHAHA BECAUSE MY FIRST REACTION IS "that could literally never happen" (he's aro). So... Hmm... In a hypothetical...
Honestly? If that were the case, who knows maybe we'd end up together or something.... Um... How do I put this... Before he figured out he was aro, I saw the type of person he was when flirting with people, and even now, I know the type of person he is. While it's not on my books at all and in this timeline I hope we stay friends for years to come, if on an alternative universe he was allo and he liked me, I could see the potential in that relationship...
Oh fuck it, I'll talk about it. When we started talking again (because we fell apart in the past, stuff I'm not discussing), there was a point we started flirting, he still didn't know he was aro, and things were getting forward until at some point it stop making progress and it was starting to hurt. But during that process, he helped me notice a lot of scars I had and had to work on, so that's why I know he has the potential. When it started to hurt, we talked about it, and we both agreed we were better off as friends. It seems it was hurtful for both, but as time passed, things got back to normal, we talked about it again months later and my heart was finally able to let go of the uncertainty. And even more months later, when he came out as aro to me, for some reason I felt relief? And a "wow that makes a lot of sense huh". The way I see him is strictly platonic, but he's one of the people i love the most in the world... Also, in that period he helped me learn what I truly deserve the next time I try to find a partner, and I'm not settling for less
66. Do you have a friend of the opposite sex you can act your complete self around?
Yup! The bestie of the last question!!
