Don't mind me I'm just thinking about how - besides with his mom who he barely saw - Sanji was never taught that love is freely given. The people who care for him are people on the other side of a transaction to him; he pays them back in some way. He works on the Orbit, he pays back a debt on the Baratie, he is The Cook on the crew. He gives something so that he can receive care in return. When he wasn't "good enough" as a child he learned that has to be able to provide something to receive the love he always yearned for.

#im getting emotional in thia chilis tonight #op meta #sanji #i mean im just thinking about how fucked up this kid must be #no wonder hes so self-sacrificial???#like: he cant conceive of a world where he might be something precious just because he is #his duty is to be the cook and protector and if he fails then hes not worth keeping around #his mom: gives love freely but is rarely around. his brothers: beat him bc he cant contribute and keep up #his sister: frees him so she'll be safe (she really cares about him in her way but did he know that?)#his father: 'dont call me your father. im ashamed of you'#everyone after that: heres some affection sanji. sanji: *rabid dog w a chewtoy noises* thank you now i will make you the perfect snack
