Do you think Brook was someone who was always so lively or did he have to make a conscious effort after becoming a skeleton? Do you think the crew ever sees him just Sitting There and wonder if his soul is still there?? Does he make an effort to be more full of life? Sry I just been thinking about him

YEAH,,,,,, Definetly,,,,

I do think he's always been a lively person, though mostly encouraged by his years upon sea as part of the Rumbar Pirates. He was their main musician, and he took that role with pride and vigor. He genuinely loved his crew, his captain, and later Laboon and he was happy to show it. Although, overall, he was calmer during moments of lull where the music was more relaxed than jolly. He had no need to prove his presence, and would rather watch in silent amusment as his crew and captain got into trouble than participate in it himself.

But his time alone — for 50 years — had made him louder. He feels the need to prove to himself be was alive, to be in motion and laugh and sing. He does reach a point where it becomes natural to him to joke about his condition, and he becomes a slight bit more used to how he was to the point where he allows himself to (metaphorically) breath.

With the Strawhats, he knows he's alive and no longer alone (though there are days he fears he's never escaped the mist) but he now wants to prove that life in other ways— by giving it to them, to Luffy. He's alive through song and jokes and movement, of course, but now he's alive through battle as well. He makes an effort to prove his livelihood by giving it to his captain, beyond his role as musician.

Though I like to think there are (rare) days where it's just too much and it's overwhelming—or something triggers a flashback — and he just can't get himself to move. He wants to, he has to, but he can't and it terrifies him. He'll move on without mention and laugh it off it brought up, because I sincerely cannot imagine him escaping 45-50 years of isolation without Some consequence
