Some dance + real-world-equivalent-ethnicity headcannons :)
Some more little bits i be thinking abt for those who want more dance content: (under the cut)
Usopp with his salsa fundamentals and luffy with his vague memories of samba end up, at some point, coming up with their own much more chaotic combo of the two. They r spinning around so fast its insane. Luffy is about to launch them into the sun. They're having a great time.
Sanji being absolutely miffed when the only other ppl on the crew who know how to couple's dance with him are Usopp and Luffy. He gets over it ofc, being able to actually dance with another person quickly overwhelms the "I wanted to tango with a beautiful lady" grief
Sanji being able to help Usopp re-learn salsa and them bonding over their moms abt it 🥲Luffy is a lost cause tho he's not learning shit /j
BaroqueWorks Robin and Bon Clay bonding over ballet Q_Q
Brook inventing the most INSANE new dips/twirls/transitions because he no longer has muscles or skin or whatever in the way
Also I firmly believe Usopp listens & dances to anything made by Spice, Mr. Killa, and Yung Bredda, but he refuses to let the crew know this. He's not embarrassed or anything he's just fairly sure Sanji would have a heart attack and die if he heard the lyrics
Sanji listens & dances to Rodrigo y Gabriela he's in love with their story
Zoro is one of those freaks who has no desire to listen to music at all but he won't turn it off if it's on, yk?
As made obvious above I think Usopp and Sanji are the 1st and 2nd most versatile dancers, but neither of them dance more Often than Franky
If i had to rank them based on how often/readily they will dance its....in the order I placed the pictures, with chopper between brook and nami. Luffy is only so low cause he'd usually rather be eating, and brook cause he'd rather be playing, and zoro cause he'd rather be drinking/napping
Robin will readily dance with you if you ask her but she's not going to initiate
If you love dance like i do and want to see some specific choreographers/dances i had in mind while drawing these, that will be the rest of this bullet list!
Sanji is doing Derek Hough's little solo bit from his pasodoble choreo on dancing with the stars. look it up it is so peak
Dancing with the star (chopper <3)
In my head Usopp is perfectly capable of dancing any choreography by Latrice Kabamba (west african steps), Tricia Miranda (dancehall), or Yeifren Mata (mostly male solo salsa)
For Franky I think some old way choreos by Nastya Batrachenko or Dashaun Wesley (he mostly does fem now but he has good old way stuff) r good
whenever i dress even vaguely cunt or feminine the tiny dashaun wesley that lives in the back of my head goes "butch queen up in drag oh that's a butch queen up in drag"
• For some random ass reason, I CANNOT get the thought of the Male Reader voguing down (look it up if you don't know) either in front of 141, or just straight for a mission and says he does when he has a breaks and each member just reacts to it...
• Like, the Male Reader is embracing ballroom (also what it is referred to) and he's doing spins, dips, hands, catwalks, duckwalks, hair flips, floor performance, and just living it up while in a hot costume for a mission
• (Look up The Amazon Leiomy and Dashaun Wesley on YouTube and just watch them if you need a visual. Like, it's so fun to watch)
• Like...I need this...to be a thing... not kidding...
• If their is someone out there willing to write this...please do...
All I can ask you to do make this happen donate even the slightest amount and if not that’s ok But my message to all is love yourself and others and honestly just appreciate everything that is bestowed upon you🩵
We did a mock audition with some big shot director/producer over the weekend and my audition went poorly for various reasons but one of my materials was a piece written as a gay character and the way I play it is kind of campy and then there’s a turn where it becomes more serious and afterward he basically told me that I should try to come across as less gay in auditions if I want to be taken seriously (he is gay, btw) and I think it was meant to be helpful and it might be good advice but it was really weird and oddly hurtful.
